He will visit hero next week and will catch for the Rosenthals in the Bluffton-Decatur game.

Gregg is associated in the commission business there and is thus far getting along quite satisfactory. It seems that the citizens of Camden are following in the footsteps of other crusaders against the saloon element, and yesterday destroyed the Club room in which liquors were sold, by dynamite. The proprietor of the Club and building knows the offenders, and will at once commence action for damages. The Bluffton newspapers have the unlimited gall to attempt the defense of umpire Mac Arbaugh. They do this too knowing his unsavory reputation as a base ball umpire and which extends back twen ty years or more. It is certainly discreditable enough to steal the game, but to set up a line of defense is rubbing it on too thick. J. W. Lower went to Warsaw this morning to attend the annual Northern Indiana Conference of the United Brethren church.

She says Cebert is worth <150.000. Mock &Sons are her attorneys — Bluffton News.

It is now a hard matter to secure good gravel and what is u ed here comes, from a point beyond Marion. Ohio, j Their track through this city is ballasted with cinders but such material is so light that it can only tie used in yards. Each and every character in Mr Robert Downing's new play, "Hon. John North," are so well drawn, that it is almost impossible to say ( which is the best, the part of "John North” Count de Valois. Edith, his daughter, Unity Jane the servant, daughter, Charles Dale, the humble ( rejiorter of the Herald, Helen Delmar, the teautiful but dangerous woman, who had the honor of being i the first Mrs. North. Johnny, the -upposed son of North, by his first j wife, or in fact, we might go on ! through the entire cast and after having interviewed them all, it 1 would be almost im impissibility K> say which is the best.
