The Monroe Nesw continued : ..gm page one Monroe has added one more to her population since last Friday, it being a daughter, born to Mr. and Mrs. M. S. Llechty. Protracted meeting at the M. E. church is still in progress, under the leadership of Evangelist Reed of Albion, Mich., and is attracting large crowds each evening. Much good is being accomplished. Monroe needs more hitch racks t<s accommodate the large number of teams that come here each evening. The hitching space was inadequate on last Saturday evening to accommodate the demand. 0 THE LYRIC PLAYERS. ‘ The best I ever saw for the money' 1 was the remark one man made last night as he left the Bosse opera house after witnessing “The Girl and the Man,’’ presented by Lanham's Lyric 'flayers, min this seems to be the sentiment of all in the fair-sized crowd which attended the opening performance of the Lyric Players. The play was as advertised a western drama, pure and simple, with all the blood and thunder eliminated, and gives the members of the cast a chance to display some rare dramatic ability. Mr. Lanham as the man, and Miss Ross as the girl, made decidedly good impressions. The specialties introduced between acts were tar above the ordinary. Miss Ross’s act deserving special mention. Tonight the company will present two farce comedies —“Suleka, the Turkish Maid," and "The Dashing Widow.” New vaudeville will be presented. APPLES WILL BE SHORT. Apples probably will come much higher than last year owing to a largo decrease in the yield this year. Reports from Ohio, a great apple state, show that the apple crop will only be about half that of last year. Much of the fruit has failed to set, especially in farm and commercial orchards lacking in sufficient fertility and humus. The peach crop will also be lighter than last year because of the ' severity of the past winter and late spring. Orchards in southern Indiana, however, will have good yields. Raspberries and blackberries, with suitable weather, will have good crops, as the setting is heavy. Black raspberries are now ripe. — 3— NOTICE TO CLEAN UP.

Must be Given Passengers for Railroad Fares After July 15th. On and after July 15th ticket agents , of railroads all over the United States will have to give exact change to pas- ' sengers as the result of an order isi sued by the interstate commerce commission about a year ago, compliance I with which has been several times ' I postponed It has been the custom of the railroads to make rates by multi- ’ I plying the numbers of miles by the ! rate per mile and a sufficient number 1 * of cents added to make the total end f | in a cipher or five. Under the rule of the commission the fare must he . : figured exactly and ticket sold on that I basis. In other words, if the fare at the per-mile-rate multiplied by the ’ number of miles equals 34 cents or 37 cents, for example, it cannot be made either 35 cents or forty cents, as it is now done.
