WITH THE BOWLERS Locals Lost a Warm Contest at Fort Wayne Last Evening A ' COMING BATTLE Decatur Elks Will Open a New Alley at Fort Wayne A team of local bowlers went to Fort Wayne last evening, where they met the Brunswick team, champions of northern Indiana, and though defeated they made a splendid showing against their opponents who are almost in the' professional class. The boys lost by a total of only sixty pins, and every game w’as a close one, each contest totaling over the eight hundred mark. The team from here included Peterson, France, Schafer, Vaughn and Frisinger. The new Elks’ bowling alleys at Fort Wayne are to be thrown open in about three weeks and one of the features of the occasion is to be a contest betwen two teams, all Elks, one from that city and the other from Decatur.

The latest thing in automobile circles is an organization which has been perfected at Huntington by five business men if that city. They propose to put on a line of passenger autos between Huntington and Warren. Incorporation papers will be taken out shortly. The car to be used will be equipped for sixteen passengers and two round trips daily will be made. As it now is, <the best connections between the two points is via the C. B. & C. to Bluffton and thence by steam or interurban. Sixteen members of the Canton degree team of the Odd Fellows spent last evening in Warren, where they will organize a team in a short time. The local men gave several exhibition drills for the Warren men in the lodge room, but owing to the lack of time made short by the initiation of six members into the .subordinate lodge, they did not have much chance to show their ability. They had decided to drill on the main streets of the city, but owing to poor lights this idea was abandoned. The men have high hopes of installing a fine order in the Huntington county city and are doing all in their power to make the membership large. Touching the general run of attractions the critic says: “Stage splendor characterizes most of them, but do any of them charm by their beauty their artistic symmetry and completeness, or by any other poetic idea that is made visible or audible in them? Does any one go home from seeing them with any thought higher than having had “some fun?” Has there been expressed in one of them a sentiment that gives fond for serious consideration? Has t£ere been disclosed a scene or voiced a phrase which was of such beauty that it brought even momentary forgetfulness of everyday conditions and roused the mind or soul to a state above the ordinary?
