Seems as if Greencastle’s burglar was a very active citizen. T11 a rain of yesterday gladdened the farmer mightily. Ho is very much in evidence this year.

If patrons of the Banner Times are missed by the carrier boys a great favor will he bestowed if the omission is at once reported at the office, together with carrier’s name. We cannot locate the blame unless the neglect is reported. The siiniinoi tourists are get. ting in. Most of them had the Daily Banner Times for a steady companion and hence are not ask ing for the news. They take up the thfead for 'ocal events without trouble.

There is a stringent law on the statute books against giving or selling cigarettes to boys, and yet there are dozens of boys all over the city smoking them every day in the week. It is very apparent that somebody is violating the law right along. There have been already three bond sales under the Cleveland administration, amounting says the Irish World, to over -tl00,000,000, ranging from nine and a half years

DEPAUW’S NEW ATHLETIC PARK. Ground \\ ill 1m* ItroKrn in a Few Hays. Full Particular*. The DePauw athletic association will no longer he subject to the ex tortions that it lias been for the past several years in the matter of renting an athletic park. This is a certainty. Day before yesterday the executive committee of the faculty received word from Trustee Newkirk, who is chairman of the building and grounds committee, that full authorin’ had been granted to begin the work of grad ing for the now university athletic park. The new park will De located on the south campus; commonly known as “Rosa Bower” which is located between College Avenue and Locust street just below Florence hall. It is most con veniently situated both from the university and from the heart of the city. Access may he had on either the northeast or west side and there is an abundance of shade which will make the park one of the most delightful resorts anywhere near the city when the contemplated improvements are made. The area of the park that will be improved will be about 1520 feet in length by 240 feet in width. The field will prob ably be laid off so that it will extend from north to south and the grandstand will he located at the northwest corner or west side ami will face east. By this arrangement the sun will be of least possible desadvantage to the players. A bicycle track and a number of tennis courts will be constructed. A grandstand that will accomtno date from five to six hundred persons will be constructed under which a number of lockers and bathtubs will be placed for accom modation of those taking part in athletic sports. The brick cottage which stands at the north end of the park will be converted into club and gymnasium rooms. Nearly all the money has been raised that will he needed in putting the ground in condition. There is $050 in the bank and $111 that has been subscribed that lias not been paid in. Dr. Stephenson is working among the alumni and states that there will be no trouble in getting money enough to fix the ground it. first class condition. The faculty members of the athletic hoard and Dr. Brown took a survey of th<’ ground this morning and ground will he broken in a few days. It is thought that the city base ball as sociation will co-operate with the university association in putting the ground in condition and that it will he granted use of the park during base hall season. Let every student and citizen do what they can to encourage the new project for there is no doubt that a new park will give great stimulus to athletics in the university and we truly expect DePauw to soon regain her former position at the head of college athletics in Indiana and the west.

Two burglars made an unsuccessful attempt to burglarize Coffman’s grocery at the corner of Bloomington and Morton avenues, this morning at about three o’clock. The fellows first tried to enter the rear door then went around to the front, where they succeeded in breaking the door open. At this time their bungling work and loud talk aroused the neighbornood to some extent. Daniel Langdon, liv ing right opposite, got up and dressed and veiled at the burglars, who rather reluctantly left the scene. They took advantage of the fact that the street light at the corner

Ordinaiy Hull ThUtleH. To the Editor of the Bunner Times. In your issue of the 27th of August you say: “From the looks of things Putnam could well compete at the state fair with any county in the slate on Canada thistle, etc.” Now sir, as I am pretty well acquainted with Canada thistle and have never seen such a thing here it is my belief that there is not a plant of Canada thistle in Putnam county. I am well aware that several weeds are called Cadada this tie by those who do not know the true plant. Yours Respectfully, W. J. Ashton.

Obituary. Miss Jennie Bryan, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. S. Bryan, who passed this life into eternal glory July lilfh, 1895, was born in Greencastle Feb. 24. 1870, From her earliest childhood she had shown a love for the good and beautiful. Possessed with a loving and amiable disposition, sympathizing with all in sorrow, she scattered sunshine whereever she went. Her love for study and aspiration for both intellectual anil spiritual life were very marked. After completing the work in the public schools, she entered DePauw university, but leaving before she graduated to accept a position as teacher in Parsons, Kansas, where she taught for several years. She filled her position so well she soon won the principalship of one of the schools. Last November her health failed, and she was given a vacation by the Board of Education of thiity days, but at the expiration of that time her health was such that she was forced to resign her position. She had made a host of warm friends, who were loth to give Her up even when they saw the brittle thread of life was hanging in a balance, and her only hope was a change toother climes. After several months of travel with her mother in the far west, to Albuquerque and other points in New Mexico and El Paso, Texas, she was convinced it was in vain and wished to return to her home to be with her loved ones, but it was only to say “good-bye” again. After two days of patient waiting as through all of her suffering, she made every arrangement for her funeral, giving in detail every particular, selecting the pallbearers, the singers, the songs and the minister she wished to officiate, disposing of all her earthly treasures. She gave herself wholly to the will of the Lord. Her lamp tvas found, trimmed and burning waiting for the coming of the bridegroom. Just before going she looked into her mother’s sorrowing face, and whispered. “Mother l want to imprint a hundred kisses on your loving cheek, for the patience and tender care for me so long from home,” and with a heavenly smile, “you can go with me no farther, I take the rest of the journey alone, with Jesus; just think I am going to spend eternity, eternity in heaven.” Near the midnight hour of July 18th surrounded by all her dear ones except three sisters. Mrs. Belle Yeates. Mrs. Lizzie Hamrick, Mrs. Mary Stanley, all living in Kansas and who were permilled to see her in her journey home, her spirit took its flight to the glorified beyond. She joined College Avenue M E. church and was converted during the pastorate of Dr. Town, taking her letter with her to Parsons, proving Ihtselt a devoted follower and earnest laborer in the Master’s vineyard doing efficient work in Ihe church and Ep- ') "rth league. The funeral occurred Sunday afternoon, July 21st at the iiouse, conducted by Rev. D. M. Wood, the white casket and profusion of fragrant flowers were emblems of the spotless form within. A very large concourse of relatives and friends followed the remains to its last resting place in Purest Hill cemetery where she w as laid by the side of two sisters and one brother who preceded her only a few years.
