Information has been sent out from Washington that the postal administration of Greece has advised the postoffice department that the transmission through the mails in Greece, of letters or packets containing money is prohibited by the laws of that country. The peculiar feature of the matter is that this law provides for the infliction of a fine or penalty on the addressees of such letters or packets. The information is being sent out from Washington for the information of patrons of the various postoffices of the United States who send mail to Greece. The Fowler Republican-Leader puts up quite a holler about the umpiring of last Sunday’s ball game, claiming that they got much the worst of it. The game was umpired by Dennis O’Riley, of Remington, and Mr. Maloney, of Rensselaer, and we believe Fowler was fairly treated. Just as long as the foul lines are not extended from first and third base to the foul flags there will be a question on the proposition of whether balls that light close to the line are fair or foul. All witnesses decide according to their partisanship. The poor umpire always comes in for his from the losing team. The Fowler Republican-Leader has the following to say of Will H. Cheadle, the republican candidate for treasurer of Benton county: “He was trustee of Gil boa township and gave the township a splendid business administration. He was appointed receiver of the Parker bank at Remington. He has so managed the affairs that twice as large an amount of dividends have been paid as was estimated at the time of the failure and has property in his control for disposal. He has lived on a farm in Gilboa township nearly all of his life. He has fine business qualifications, being a graduate of the Valparaiso Normal school. This is the last day of June and a hot one it is. Along about the sth or 6th of the month when the mercury was hanging around forty and every one was feeling blue, the cheerful weather prophets came out with a forecast that the entire month would be damp and cold and that crops would go to the bow-wows. Then we took hope and forecasted that warm weather was sure to follow just to dump the prophets. Well, warm weather came all right and the past 16 or 17 days have been hot enough for any purpose. Corn has grown marvelously, the ice man has had a busy season and the weather prophets are at work on a batch of rot for July.
