The directors of the Clover Leaf have declared the regular semi-an-nual dividend of 2 per cent on the preferred stock, payable Oct. 15. This is the second dividend the road has paid and is considered a favorable comment on the manner in which the property is operated at the present time. The September peach cuts so small a figure in the market that housewives have given up the idea of canning it. What few peaches ar offered for sale are usually of inferior quality and they bring high prices at that. The heavy frosts in November of last year are held resiWnsible for the failure of the Michigan crop. The peach orchards of Ohio were also damaged in the same way. It is doubtful if Michigan ever regains its prominence as a peach state. Another interesting development on the rate question was that various roads in Ohio and Indiana have begun to gather in statistics to use in a test of the constitutionality of the 2-cent laws in these two states. The 2-cent law has been effective in Ohio since March 10, 1906, while in Indiana it has been in force only four months. And from statistics procured by several of the roads the officers expect to prove the low rate unremunerative thus making the law unconstitutional. Fred France returned from Van Wert last Saturday where he was called by the serious condition of his father. He found his father to be very low and it is only a question of time until the end. He is suffering from a cancerous growth on the face and he is very weak. Mr. France has decided to give up his trip to' the east where he was going as a delegate to the national convention of American municipalities. It is not thought that his father would be alive when he returned and he will abandon the trip. —Huntington Democrat. With the lid on at Marion yesterday to the extent of several saloonkeepers and barkeepers being pulled and hauled into court on charges of breaking the law, and Mayor Guthrie, of Muncie, cancelling licenses already granted because of law’ breaking, surely the gas belt is geting good, and no longer can people of other parts of the country point at the wide-open sec tion of Indiana. The only wet spot on the immediate may now is Dunkirk, and as long as things go as they are she will harvest the shekels of the thirsty and sportily inclined, as gambling is as easy to break into at Dunkirk as thirst parlors.

It was put on Sunday afternoon I to replace the old one which was so badly perforated that it was no longer I of any use. Tho old lid has been in a i bad state of repair for some time but < it probably had not the evidence of : its weakness been made so plain by a , number of saloonkeepers who persisted i in doing business over the front bar i during illegal hours. An officer made the rounds early in the evening and gave all orders to get under cover.— Hartford City Gazette.

The Chicago National league base ball team was defeated yesterday at Quincy, Ilinois. by the score of five to two. Reulbach pitched for Chicago and was touched up for seven hits. Wonder if Portland did well today? The Clevland short line is making a fill 6,000 feet long just outside of the city limits, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. It extends from the Radway homestead on the west to a point near east Seventy-first street on the east. The work is one of the most difficult on the beltline job. The valley in which the roadbed is being built is about 400 feet deep at some places. The fill was necessary in order to maintain the low grade in which the road excels.

The Jewish day of atonement, which occurs to morrow’ will be generally observed by the members of the synagogue congregation over whom Rabbi Ettelson presides as spiritual guide. The day's observance however, really begins tonight at 7:30 o'clock, when the Rabbi will discourse on the subject, “The Three Rs of Repentance.” The subject at the service tomorrowmorning at 9:30 o'clock will be “The Practical Question” and the theme of the memorial service which occurs in the afternoon of Wednesday will be "The Faith that Sees Through Death.” —Journal Gazette. When the old New’ England railroad was in enjoyment of an independent corporate existence, a trotting horse that had been entered in all the races in the New England fair circuit was killed in an accident to the train upon which the animal was being transported. The owner put in a claim not only for the value of the horse, but also for the first prize in every event in which he had been entered. The total .was something startling, especially for a bankrupt railroad. In prosecuting his claim the owner maintained that the horse was the m->st remarkable trotter the country had ever seen and that he would have been a dead sure winner throughout the season. The court, however, took a more moderate view of the animal's trotting abilities and based the sum of tbe damages upon the actual value of the equine wonder.
