attorneys, Gifford & Gifford, who instructed him to decline to talk. Marker was arrested this afternoon charged with the embezzlement of $50,000 of the funds of the First National Bank of this city, and was taken before United States Commissioner Frank Ellis at Muncie and, waiving examination, was bound in the sum of SIO,OOO to appear before the Federal Grand Jury of this district at Indianapolis next November. In charge of Deputy United States Marshal Alonzo Boyd, Marker then was brought back to-this city, where a throng of his friends and the townspeople awaited him. Several business men signed his bond and he wa!s released from custody. The men who went on his bond were Nicholas S. Martz, George C. Wood, Jesse C. Hadley, T. W. Longfellow, Joseph H. Glass, E. M. Todd, N. W. Nichols and Solomon Rouls. When Deputy Marshall Boyd arrived in Tipton with his prisoner he was given a list of twenty-five names, representing $200,000, to apply on Marker’s bond. He took eight names and four affidavits. Marker would make no statement as to the allegations against him except that he was innocent. All day he had held a reception at his home, and there was a long line of callers. Many business men signed their names to an agreement to give surety for him in any collective amount up to $225,000. One of them said he would sign for $75,000. /

Popular Show Coming.

“One swallow does not make a summer,” neither does one comedian make a minstrel show. , Managers of the old school used to contend that one real actor and fifteen or sixteen “sticks” and a band of tfen pieces (it was often eight) was sufficient for a minstrel show, and that the public would accept them. History proves the truth of their contention, for the public did accept such organizations; whether or not the public were satisfied is a question open to argument. But there have been vast changes in the last few years. The day of the one-man show is over. The public demand a company of uniform excellence. Mistakes are to the wise man but stepping stones to success. The management of Richards & Pringle’s Famous Georgia Minstrels were the first to realize that if minstrelsy was to thrive and flourish radical and important changes were necessary. Such changes called for the outlay of a considerable fortune, but time and results have testified to the truth of their conviction. This company stands today the acknowledged leaders in this branch of the amusement business, and no well-informed student of the stage will challenge this statement. They travel in their own palace cars and number 40 people. Twelve comedians of real reputation vie with each other in the fun making. There are 20 trained singers, a double sextette of nimble dancers, seven big vaudeville acts and a band of 25 pieces, that is the best ever. ” The date of this company's appearance at Ellis theatre is Tuesday, August 3rd.

Tired or Indisposed.

“Won’t you take my seat?” said the man in the car, as he lifted his hat to the pretty girl. “No, thank you,” she replied, "I've been roller skating all the afternoon, and I'm tired of sitting down.” The katydids have begun to fiddle on their croes-cut saws, which reminds us: That there’s only six weeks more until frost; six weeks more until school opens; six weeks more for the old straw hat; and six weeks in which to make terms with the coal man. How time “do” fly when the katydids begin to sing.— Kentland Enterprise.

Defeat Chicago Thursday By -Score of 7 to 4—Cope Hanley Nominated For City Clerk. Boy City, Winona Lake, July 30— The K. Of. K.

The preliminary race has been run and the big race for the city offices, which is to end Friday, is on. Never before in the history of Boy City has interest been so manifest. All day yesterday the talk was wholly of the caucuses to be held during the evening, and by night the excitement was at fever heat. Immediately after supper the band gave a concert on the plaza and then the meetings were called to order. After the party leaders had been nominated and all the business transacted, members of both parties met on the plaza and speeches were made by all the candidates. All the speakers were introduced by Mayor Joe Clark. At 7:30 o’clock the Liberalist caucus meeting was called to order and, after a stormy and heated session in which there were brilliant speeches made by different boys, a strong ticket was put in the field headed by Varnum Evans, of Chicago, for mayor. The remainder of the ticket is for clerk, Cope Hanley, of Rensselaer; for treasurer, Emerson Meeker, of Union Mills; for board of public works, Joe Clark, of Portland, and Chester Tobman, of Union Mills.

THE UNPACKED WRENS ARE PLUCKED AT LAST.

Oxford Defeats the Home Team 'Sanday By" Score of 5 to 3—The First Game Lost By Local Team This Tear. Well, the unplucked Wrens are no more. The whole population of Oxford (it is a small town) and people from far and near came in to witness the plucking, and the feathers certainly did fly, f6r when the last session was over (the score was 5 to 3 with the Wrens getting the short end. The story of the game is a very pad narration. We were beaten, that’s all and they did it nicely. Errors mixed with hits in the first five innings of the game 'allowed Oxford to sew up the games The Wrens made seven very untimely errors, two of which allowed three scores. Hanks couldn’t get his flinging arm to working right until it w’as too late.- In the first five innings Oxford secured eight hits, but after that they were unable to solve young John. The Wrens got seven hits, two of them two-baggers, but only two of them came in the same inning. Oxford made five errors, but they came at times when they w’ere not costly. Oxford counted once in the first session. T. Jensen got a scratch single over second. Hanks tried to catch him napping off first and overthrew Morgan and let Jensen go to second. Hurt doubled to left and scored Jensen. F. Harrell hit a liner to Car roll w'.<- tossed the ball to Parcells at second and doubled Hurt. Winegarner was safe on Wilcox’s . muff of his fly, stole second, went to third on White’s single to left but T. Harrell fanned. Morgan reached third with two out in the first but McLain couldn’t hit safely. Oxford got two more in the fourth thusly: White hit to left but T. Harrell forced him out at second. Hanks passed Kelley and then Harrell and he stole second and third respectively. McGuire struck out but Lou Jensen singled to center and scored the baserunners. T. Jensen flied out to Parcells. Two more Oxford men crossed the pan in the fifth and things certainly did look blue. Hurt was out, Hanks to Morgan, but F. Harrell hit safely to left. Winegarner fled out to Kevin, but White singled to left and sent Harrell to third. White then stole second and w’hen Wilcox dropped T. Harrell’s big fly, T. Harrell and White scored. Kelly struck out. That ended Oxford’s scoring as they did not get one measley hit after that. The Wrens got one in the fifth and it looked like more but no one could hit at the opportune moment. Wilcox singled to left and went to third on errors which let Parks and Kepner safe. With the bases full McGuire dropped Kevin’s fly and Wilcox scored. Morgan hit an easy one to L. Jensen and caused Parks to get caught at the plate and was out himself at first. Hanks walked, but McLain was out, L. Jensen to Kelly. The Wrens scored no more until the ninth, although they got a single and two bagger in the eighth. In the ninth Parks was safe on third’s error and Kepner singled him to third and took second himself a moment later. Kevin lifted one to short but Morgan hit one to the same place and Parks was called safe at the plate on a close decision. Hanks sacrificed Kepner home with a fly to center and McLain flew out to right. We were beaten by a good team and there’s surely no disgrace in that. There was poor playing that helped it along, but what’s the use to beef. We have another chance at them this season, so get Jerry to yourselves and don’t kick the boys because they lost. Encourage them. The score: Oxford. AB R H PO A E T. Jensen, 3b 5 1 1 2 I 0 Hurt, cf 5 0 2 3 0 1 F. Harrell, 8b ... 5 1 1 0 1 1 Winegarner, If 4 0 0 Q 0 0 White, c 4 1 3 8 1 0 T.

Beware of Book Agents.

Logansport merchants, bankers real estate dealers and others are cautioned beware of a gang of grafters which is working cities along the interurban lines of Indiana. The members are getting up books or other forms of advertising matter entitled, “Business Men’s Review,” “Successful Business Men of Logansport,” or other titles. These people usually travel three or four in a bunch, so as to make a clean picking as quickly as possible. In many cases the charge for a writeup and publishing the picture of the business man, his business house or his home .is small, until the bill comes in. But only a few years ago one of Logansport’s oldest bankers was forced to pay 1180 for a book containing his picture and a write-up, and a prominent farmer, living north of town, paid the same. Each was under the impression there would be no charge as they seemingly signed a paper merely giving permission to use the matter. These papers later turned out to be contracts. If Logansport business men want such publicity there are men living here and spending their earnings here, who can do the work, and who are responsible. These out-of-town people often prevail upon some publishing house or netfhpaper in the town in which they wish to work, to allow the use of the firm’s name. They always get the best of the deal, while the local people hold the sack. The gang is headed here —the “nothin’ doin’ ” sign should be hung out. —Logansport Reporter. Government officials have turned down a portion of the new federal building in South Bend, finished a short time ago, and as a result a new concrete flooring in the main corridor is being laid. Edward Henry, the contractor, sublet the contract for the flooring and the work was not satisfactory to the government inspectors.
