The Cincinnati Commercial Co etfc has made another reduction in ilb p> ice, and it now sells for two cents on the streets and th’ee cents on the ttains, at railway news stands and to outside dealeis. That Port Townsend, Wash., writer of specials for the daily press, is again at it. His story yesterday of the killing of a prospector by it bear was on a pur with his effort recently in which he described the fall of a giant meteor which sank into the ground near his town. That Washington man’s imagination is not the least hit consumptive. 8A VE Tills FOE REFERENCE. Here is a little record of the first fiscal year under the new tariff.

toes are in bloom. Wheat threshing continues; in Boone county threshing is ended. Oats in shock most everywhere; in most counties the grain is plump, but the straw short; in Henry county it had to be handled without binding. Haying is nearly done, hut crop is short and of gootl quality; timothy is nearly all housed; a good crop in Decatur county. Plowing for fall sowing has begun, and much fall seed is being sown. Chinch bugs are numerous and injuring corn in Franklin and Vigo counties. Heavy hail did damage to corn and guldens in Madison county, anti strong wind to corn and orchards in Boone, Henry, Hancock, Vermillion and Decatur counties. Apples and pears are abundant and free of worms, and plums are ripe. TIi** Telephone Delay. There is much complaint that the telephone system of this city should be in such a state of standstill. The Banner Times had a talk with James B. Nelson anti he said the local company was doing all in their power to rush matters and that they regret the delay as much as any one. They have received information that their switchboard bus been shipped and are looking for their instruments every day. There are some defects in some of the private lines that have been complained of but Mr. Nelson assures every one that these will all be gone over by an expert electrician and remedied before his company accepts the system from the construction company. By the terms of their contract the Greencastle company will not pay for their plant until it is completed m first class condition in every particular. The public will thus get a good seryice.

COMMON COUNCIL. A Ten Minute Se*Fion—Small Claim Ortlinanee—Few speeclien. The Common Council had an ex ceedingly short session Tuesday evening and there was nothing c tap except a short claim ordinatii't and a few remarks. The commit tee calls resulte l in a blank, no re sponses coming forth. Mr. Ri!c\ called attention to the growth til Canada thistle or prickly lettuce on the Vandalia strip and also to the poor condition of the crossing of the Vandalia and Bloomington streets. Attorney Moore was instructed to correspond with the railroad company and see if they would at once put in a better cross ing as the one now in use affords very poor accommodations for the farmers and genera! public. Mr Riley also made a plea for the re pair with stone dust of all alle\ crossings on the principal streets as he saitl many mothers who are obliged to wheel baby buggms about the town find the crossings in a very bad shape for their babies’ comfort. The council decided the babies should be treated as faith and good as any other citizen of our town and instructed the chair man of the street committee to in turn instruct the street commissioners to fix the crossings for the baby buggies. City Clerk Hurley presented his annual report, and after passing the following claim ordinance the council adjourned:

NEWS FROM CAMP. Life Settllrg Down and There I* but Little Excitement. Gossip. Fairview, July 24, 1895.—Noth ing of an exciting nature has taken place today. Camp life has settled down to to the usual routine of buple calls and marching details. Yesterday Major Fee turned over his old sword to Lieut. Fry. The Major has received a set of shoul der-straps and a brand new sword from headquarters. Today Lieut. Fry is senior officer of the guard, and Lieut. Starr is in command ot the company. The camp guard is being very strictly maintained, ami severa men from other companies have gotten into trouble. The country about camp, and the street car line far down into town are patrolled by B3veral squads; which makes it very hard for a blue uniform to stay at liberty long, outside camp. Some adventurous youths from Co. I had quite an experience with this same patrol. It is said that Sandy was chased three miles, and finally had to swim the canal to get away. Old acquaintance with Co. F. of Aurora, is being renewed; they were with us in the Cannelburg campaign. The Co. F. men ull ask for “the man that shot the dog ” “Splinter” Meyers is happy, he has found his counterpart in Co. H. of Bloomington, who are quartered directly across the street from us. It may he said that Co. H. is a strong, well drilled company, in spite of their frail diet of watermelons. The watermelon incident is not often referred to, and the two companies are on very good terms. it is beginning to look rather gloomy, and has begun to rain. There is one consolation, we will never he wetter nor more miseiable than we were last Saturda}’ night. D. F. A.

Mow Is thfl Tnue. My experience, and I am not a publisher, and have no interest in any publication, is that local busi ness can only be built up by local advertising in local newspapers, ami that there is no better time in the year for extensive advertising, if that advertising be rightly written, than following the holidays, or any other Hush time of business, for then your competitors crawl into their holes and leave the field to you.—Nathaniel Fowler.

SILVER LEAF HAS TROUBLES- \ <*ry Slow Action; or How the ColoriM Bancl Miswrit Mio Kxrurtion. There is a great gob of trouble and some blue notes in the Silver Leaf band today and the members of that organization are kicking themselves and are pouring their troubles into the ears of the generil public in discordant volumes. The cause of the uproar is the fact that the entire band missed the Michigan City excursion this morning. It has been often predicted by observers of the band’s manouvers that they would some of these days miss something. They are too slow. Members of the band on rehearsal nights straggle down to their piactice room at all hours, sometimes as late as nine o’clock, and thus have learned tardy habits. They also play their tunes too slow. This could end in hut one result and that was when they had to make a train, which would not wait, they missed it. Several of the hoys sang their lay to the Banner Times today. One said they met at their hall at 5:30 o’clock and the base drummer was shy, and some of them kicked and wouldn’t go without him. Others wanted to go anyhow, hut the miss ing man soon hove in sight and they started for the train. The drummer was interviewed and lie says he was as near the train as the majority ot the others and no blame can be attached to him. When they reached the poultry house on north Jackson street (a fatal spot) the train sailed away for the north. It is said that the train started from a side track, but that was no excuse for the band. Had there been forty tracks the band would have missed that train. If the band will brace up a little, he livelier in their movements, get a hustle on, they will miss no more trains. If one member is late go without him, but always be on time. Telegraphic advices from Michigan City this afternoon state that Lai e Michigan is lashing itself in to a foam and refuses to be pacified until it hears the silvery strains of the Silver Leaf. Chicago is trembling and shoel is to pay generally. E. William Bridges added a joint or two to his clarionet for a fishing pole and is drowning h : s sorrow in a fishing trip to Big Walnut anti the other boys are still kicking. Even money was ofFe etl last night that the band would miss the train, with no takers. The hoys state they will regulate matters at their meeting Friday evening. A committee from the band called on the Banner Times this afternoon and said they were all at the hall except one at 5:40 and that the reason they were left was that they waited for that missing man.

A Tip on a Foul Tip According to Ren Mulford, Jr., the brilliant young sporting editor of the Cincinnati /’o.vf, a base runner is entitled to all the bases he can take off’of a foul tip caught by the catcher. There has been much disscussion over this matter among the local fans for some time. Some thought the base runner must re turn as on any other kind of foul while otheis thought he was en titled to a base provided be can run fast enough to reach it ahead of the ball.
