Bv some oversight an article on railroads in yesterday’s issue, was made to read that two hundred and fifty thousand men were connected with the safety of traits in this country; while in fact over four hundred and fifty thousand are entrusted with the traffic department in one way or ■ another. Yesterday the Star News of this ! city published its tenth anniversary edition. The paper is published by Snow Brothers, neither of whom are twenty-one years of age, and is a model of neatness and skill. The paper has been enlarged and is now a four column, four page paper, issued every two weeks. We congratulate the boys on their remarkable success, and bespeak a brilliant future for their interesting publication. Wiliam J. Hurd, president of the Star Oil Co., Warren Ind., accompanied by W.

The Printer’s base ball team of Decatur have thrown a challenge to any printer’s team in this part of the state, Bluffton included. All communications from those who wish to accept this challenge should be addressed to the manager. The latest sensation in loop-the loop acts is done with an automobile. Os all features of a show the loop is the best and thousands of jieople go miles to witness the death defying, awe inspiring feat each vieing with the other in procuring the most sensational vari. ety. The feat has been accomjilished on automobiles, bicycles, roller skates and now men are trying to do the trick on foot. The Ohio City base ball team took two games from Warren at the latter place Fourth of July. The Ohio City team is supposed to play fast ball and the power of the Decatur team can be compared with the above results. In fact, it can safely be said that we now have the best amateur tiase ball team in the state. Decatur will play with Fort Wayne tomorrow and we hope to see her add another mark to the J won list. The improvement to the Odd FelI lows building is now well under way and the north side is now resting on the new columns. Such a i job requires the utmost care and considerable engineering skill as practically the entire front of the i building rests on the temporary i post. And in a three story build, i ing the down pressure is immense, I should the brick give a fraction of an inch it would la- all off as the entire front would be in danger of falling.
