Hugh A. Cunningham, who managed

During the 1!07 season he lemonstrated his ability to carry an independent team successfully, some:hlng which had not been done in this -ity for about, ten years. The fans showed their appreciation of good inlependent ball by their patronage and Hunningham believes that ho can. jv-ith a first class league team make Muncie one of the strongest ball iowus in the state. Cunningham believes that the reason there was a lack of interest in the game lure is because the people were not offered first class ball. He stated last night lhat if lie is inducted to enter the eaguo that nothing short of the best ftlll be considered by him. The Shamrock Athletic club controls a well graded base ball park, ivbich with a few improvements, could be made a very desirable place for the '.eague contests.

Joseph Mullenix, who resides on North Fourteenth street, was fined $1 and costs and sentenced to ten days in the county jail, for whipping his step-
son, Orlie Shepard, aged nine years, j last June. The treatment accorded-
this child by his stepfather has just been brought to the attention of the pollco by the county probation officer, who had learned that young Shepard was not attending school. On the witness stand Orlie stated that he came to live with his mother and stepfather last June. Previous to that time he had lived with his aunt at Middletown, O. He said that he wanted to' go back there as his aunt always treated him kindly. Young Shepard said that since his advent Into the Mullinex home he had received three hard beatings from his stepfather for no cause and that he was unable to attend school because he had no shoes to wear and no school books. Shepard's little playmate, Viola Hodson, aged eight years, qualified to act as a witness against Mullinex despite her tender age. She said that she could distinguish between truth and falsehoods. "People who tell lies get put away where it Is real dark," said the little girl. She then stated how on one day last June Mullinex returned home drunk, had taken a whip from Orlie which ho was using to play "horse" and had given him a severe beating. Orlie also qualified to testify against his stepfather. He said that people who told lies went to a

After telling how Mullinex frequently returned home drunk, how he had beaten him three times and how much he wanted to go back to his aunt in Middletown, the court asked Mullinex what he had to say for himself. Mullinex stated that he had punished the boy. but not severely, for breach

As deposits must be daily, the amount they will actually be liable for

The fight in New Castle to oust tti saloons will be watched with great Interest in Richmond, and s-hoTlld the
I battle be successful there, it will cot
be surprising to see the effort made la Richmond before the winter is ot. If a majority of the voters in "Wayne township would sign a blanket remonstrance against the liquor traffic, every saloon in Richmond would he put out ui business at the expiration of their licenses. It is admitted that buck a feat would be a big one, and wouVd re
quire systematic organization. There is a very large class of people In Richmond, temperate in all things, which does not appear in sympathy with the closing of all saloons. On the other hand there is another large class of people, liberal in all things, which believes it would be a blessing to 6hut out the traffic. This class in addition to the avowed temperance forces, might. It is pointed out, combine and
win the day. With the thousands of voters in Wayne township that would have to be seen and their signatures procured, it would require a veritable army of workers to accomplish the task and even then the needed majority might not be procured. It Is said that there are numerous temperance workers in Richmond, however, who believe that the question should be considered from all angles and if sentiment appears at all favorable, th
effort should be made.

Postal cards of obscene nature are
but seldom sent through the local postoffice, according to tho statemeut of
Postmaster J. A. Spekenhier today
The assertion which has been made
freely in past months that post cards are ruining the American people and
are more than any one source, per
verters of public morals, does not seem to apply locally, as Postmaster Spekenhier said that only an nverage of a dozen cards were seized each month at the local office and forwarded to the dead letter office. The practice has not become general here and but few cards savoring of the suggestive are sold in Richmond. There is a heavy penalty attached to disobeying Uncle Sam"s rules in regard to sending questionable matter through the mails, but if each offender shall be arrested, and indicted by the federal grand jury aud sentenced, the jails and prisons of tho country would Boon be overlowing. Higher postal officials generally are inclined to look over the matter, but neverthe
less, give orders to seize aa objectionable cards and forward them immedi
ately to Washington.

HINTS FOR HUNTERS. K. K. Earle, deputy fjhh and game commissioner, has drafted a set of rule-s, which, if followed, will help to avoid many of the accidents that happen each hunting season. The rules are: Never point a gun, whether loaded
or not, at any one. When you carry your weapon on your shoulder or under your arm. keep the muzzle right up or right down. After leveling your gun, be sure the
trigger is at safety before moving on again.
When at rest, if only for a few mo
ments, unload your gun.
Never shoot at anything you do not
see clearly.
Never shoot at all unless sure of the
location of the otlvtr sportsmen.
In climbing a fence, always advance your gun iirst, muzzle up or in front, holding it high up. These rules are based on nothing but common sense. A good general rule is always to act upon the supposition that your gun is liable to go off at any time. It should always be in such a position that if it docs, no harm will follow.

at Bruce Lake, ten miles west of here. His cabin is on an island and Roach dwelt there for several years in soli

Once or twice he became communicative and talked to hunters of his Interesting life with Blaine and of the strenuous politics incident to Blaine's career, but as a rule he never answered a question nor acknowledged a salutation of any kind. Some think that Roach may have fallen out of his boat and drowned, but there is nothing left at his cabin to indicate what has become of him. His library consisted of bound volumes of Washington and New York newspapers of the dates of 12 to 1SS7, Inclusive.

Richmond Can Only Bring Snow From Other Points.
The fair project for Richmond is a dead one. The attempt at revival some months ago, and finally postponed until this fall, has again been shelved. The fact that more than 5,000 Richmond people attended county fairs the past fall, does not seem to concern local merchants. With a fair at home, thousands of dollars could be saved to the city, and there is no question that fairs prove a business stimulant in a greater or less degree. There are a half dozen men in the city willing to aid in the organization of a Richmond fair association which shall be conducted for the benefit of the city and not for the profit of any individual or company of persons. These men have failed, however, to arouse interest among business men
and have given up the task.

The ladies of Richmond are delighted with Mrs. Hennessy's interesting and instructive talks on the Universal Bread Maker. Saturday, 250 delicious little loaves of bread were mixed up in the "Universal" and baked in the presence if the lady callers, each one of whom was given a loaf as a souvenir.
These sample loaves are exact duplicates of the "Penny Loaves" which Dickens mentions in Pickwick Papers. The little pans in which the loaves are baked
were brought from England expressly for the demonstrations. Owing to the great interest shown in the demonstration, Mrs. Hennessy has consented to stay another week.
