Those Four 1’oor .Men! On lust Thursday the Banner : Times at ATiipted to print a three | column story entitled ‘’Defending a Safe.” We got two columns of it i safelv before our readers but the third column got lost in the shuffle | of a rather hurried “make up.” The remaining column wouldn't be so important hadn’t the second column ended in the rather awkward predicament of leaving four men staggering around under the load of a heavy safe full of money. Our readers many of them have had pains in their backs and cramps in their limbs while awaking to see if the four men dropped that safe. We apologize to the four men first, for keeping them under such a load for four days, ami also apologize to our readers for keeping them in suspense as to the out J come of the story, which was one of “M Quad’s” best. The missing column has just been found and il appears on page four of this issue. It would have been printed sooner but it was decidedly “out of sight” and u long search has just revealed it. The foregoing is one of the little incidents that give a constant Fourth of July flavor to the job of running a daily newspaper.

< niwfordBville Journal. Yesterday was a very quiet Sunday in some regards and a rather lively one in others. Business was i practically at a standstill and numerous hardships were worked which were never even contemplated by the Sunday law which was passed some forty years ago and which has been a lead letter most of the time since all over the State. One could not buy a cigar, a glass of soda water, a dish of ice cream, a load j of bread, a newspaper, or anything

The acme of asimnity was reached at Crawfordsvile in their Sunday closing movement. A movement engineered as was that one will prove a boomerang.

The state board of equalization has little faith, it seems, in the judgment of the county board «f review. The expense of county boards is no little matter, and if the state board is to continually turn down their work, the county boards might as well be abolished. There is no appeal from the state board decision.

New York Tribune: What would be thought of a man in private life who, in order to maintain his credit and make his income equal his expenses, talked glibly of incurring new obligations. And yet this is precisely what the administration is doing at the present moment. There is no attempt, serious at least, to reduce expenses. There is no effort made to look for new sources of revenge. But there is the same wild talk of “maintaining the credit” of the Government by renewed issues of bonds. How long this stale of things will be permitted to last heaven only knows —and the Rothschild syndicate.

else. The good Citizens’ League declares that nothing of this kind was wished hy its committee and that the technical enforcement was brought about by those who desired to make the law odious. The police made no arrests but took the names of all those who worked, some seventy-five in all, and will hand them to the League for prosecution. No prosecutiona will fol low, however. The police state that the}' have no discretion in the matter. They were instructed to enfore the law and not allowed to draw arbitrary lines. All those who do work not absolutely necessary are guilty legally. There was much bitter feeling manifested on the streets and some rather wild talk was indulged in. Itgoes without saying that the condition of affairs maintained yesterday will not continue. It)' Not Y on.

After the marshmallows had disap peared Miss Ames suggested a guessing contest. She said she had in mind something and requested each one to tell what it was like, and after each one had told her what it was like she told what it was and requested each one to tell why it was like it. One said it was like a fire, another a stone, another a log, another a boat, another a running brook, and so on. Miss Ames said she had in mind the Daily Banner Times ami then the reasons were given why the objects named were like the Banner Times. One said it was like the fire because it toasted peo »le and another suggested it was like fire because it roasted them. By tlie time all the reasons were given for the various comparisons the Banner Times had received a flattering advertisement. Those who were present at the bake (and the toast j were Prof. DeMotte and family and guests, Prof. Longden and family, Miss Mattie Longden, Misses Flora and Sallie Bridges, Miss Bessie Hammond, Miss Lizzie Ames, Miss Hattie Ward, Mrs. Grace Ward Church, Prof. Fisk and wife and M. J. Beckett and

family, anti Harry Ward.

Prof. H. B. Longden has bought a cottage on the third terrace not far from Prof. DeMotte's cottage. Bay View is the most desirable of all the pretty places on Little Traverse bay. It is one mile from Petoskey and within a few minutes’ ride from Roaring Brook, Waquetonsing, Harhor Springs and Harbor Point. It is within a few hours ride of some of the finest fish ing points in the state. Bay View is the C liMiitauqua of Michigan and is especially attractive to Methodists. The Assembly and summer schools have closed and the people are enjoying themselves at boating, fishing and at sight seeing. Mere existence in this delightful place is a pleasure. The bracing air, pure water, beautiful surroundings, all tend to restore life and vigor to those who come here for health and rest. Theie tire more than five hundred cottages at this one point, many of them of very pretty design and construction. All the conveniences and luxuries of the city are at hand and without its noise and dust and bustle. People from all parts of the country come here for health and rest and all are delighted and benefit ted. Bay View richly deserves the name it has won as a summer resort. B.

were strong and clear and Mrs. Howe's especially deserves mention. “In State’s Prison” a soi.g based on the personal experience of Hariy Hayward and written by him was excellently rendered and its pathos touched the hearts ot all. A dialect song in answer to why the saloons were not closed, and •’Shingling the Rumsellers Roof” were favorites. During the short recess Mr. Howe reviewed the saloon busi ness of the country and said that it was inconsistency of our so called good people that kept it thriving. He said the religion of Jesus Christ as preached on the mount was the true science of government and that we would not hope to have temperance reform until the voters ol the country voted ami prayed alike one day in the year. “Samantha’s advice to Josiah” an original dialogue brought forth much laughter and the old jubilee songs “Climb up to jthe clouds” and “Roll Along” completely captivated the audience. A collection was taken up for the company and every one responded liberally. The company sing tonight and tomorrow night and expect all who attend to donate a silver offering to help the cause

along.

How to Clean Wall Taper. The easiest method of cleaning the dusty and somewhat blackened surface is to arm one’s self with a broom, over which is pinned some cotton flannel, which must be changed frequently, as the flannel will soon lie in such a condition that to continue its nse would smear the walls with dust and soot. Do over the ceiling first with long, even, firm strokes, then do the walls in the same

way.

Another way to clean the paper is to have on hand several loaves of stale bread and use instead of the broom and cloth. Cut off the crust from the long eud of the loaf and rub the paper with it, cutting off a thin slice as soon as the crumbs become soiled. This is a tedious method, but it is effective. To remove a grease spot, lay coarse brown paper over it and pass a hot iron over the brown paper. Repeat this process, using a fresh piece of pajier until the spot disappears.

A «loke on Mr. \YHk. Boynton Van Deryeer, writing in the Sunday Cincinnati Commercial Gazette lias the following short story: It alj happened during the term of Inspector liearss. and though it is necessarily old, it has never been told, the victim swearing everybody concerned t.i silence. Inspector T. W, Weik was especially domestic in his tastes. In fact, there never was an opportunity for the Inspector to get back to his home hi Grecneastle, Ind., if even for an hour or two. but what he promptly took advantage ol il; and In* was constantly on pinand needles for fear that he would be 11ansferred to some territory where il would lie impossible for him to gratify this very commendable desire. All this was well known to the clerks in the oftie *, and they at once devised a scheme to give Weik ihe worst scare hi 1 .ever had m his life. I o this end a ■’fake” telegram was prepared, purporting to be from the Washington office, ordering the t rails I er of Inspector Weik to Helena, Mont. This dispatch was not show n to the gcdtlrnian until he had I regaled hv several lengthy tales of the h.mlships and dangers of the Montana service, and several letters from some of the Helena men reatl to him, in which they u Id of the hairbreadth escapes they iiud in falling over precipices, Ac. Then the order was handed him, and as he turned deathly pale and fell into a chair, the conspirator- consisting of Messrs. Letherman, Vickery, Bettz and Inspector Bearss, gathered around him ami offered their sinCerest sympathies, at the same time reminding him of the horrible dangers he was about to face in the Wild West. They were so sincere in their manifestations of sorrow, and inspector Weik was himself so broken up at leaving bis old friends, to say nothing of departing from ins home and fireside, that lie invited them all out to a farewell dinner. They enjoyed it in the extreme even if Weik did not, and ns thev ate, drank ami made merry for a moment forgot to relate some of those awful stories which the Western Inspector had told in his letter. Then they repaired again to the Inspector’s office in the Federal building.

where, in view to tne ties which were about to be severed, and the good feeling which had always existed between them, Inspector Weik was called upon for a speech. To this request the unfortunate man responded, and in a sad ami far away voice spoke of ids regard for them and of the ties which were about to Is- severed, perhaps forever. He finished at last, and had just taken Ins seat, amidst loud applause, when another bogus telegram was sprung on the unsuspecting Weik, telling him that for certain reasons the order of a few hours before had been revoked, and tint he would remain in the bosom

of his family.

1 his time the man was fairly overcome ami joyfully waved tlie telegram nloft, never for a moment doubting that everything was bona tide. Then lie was called to Ins feet the second time, while a committee of one gently drew his attention to tlie fact that both of the dispatches were written on sending blanks. Then he “tumbled,” and with his fall came tlie realization of the fact that the only way to keep that joke quiet was to again till up the heartless perpetrators of it—and this lie promptly proceeded to do.
