FUN AT THE FAIR.

The base ball game between Iona

Fair the greatest success ever, and
this will insure patrons their mon

COST OF LIVING.

Carroll D. Wright, commissioner O.
labor bureau, in the. eighteenth an
nual report of the bureau made pub
lie yesterday, gives the results q
a comprehensive inquiry to the cost
of living since 1896 and in the aver
age wage rate during those periods.
Investigation of 5519 occupations
representing sixty seven industries
in 3,429 separate establishments,
showed an average increase in
wages during this period of 1876 pei
cent. >. =
The inquiry in the cost of living
shows that living for workingmen s
families having under 200 in
come a year had increased during
this period 1876 per cent. In order
to ascertain this average increase
the labor bureau secured the income
and expenditure in detail of 1867
families in thirty three states, re-
tail prices being taken: The state
met shows that the 2,567 families
consisted ofan average q sal per;
sons and that The average income
for the year 1901 was 1927, the aver
age annual expenditures for all pur-
poses $76s and the average expend-
iture for food, 1926 per family.
The principal items of expendi-
ture were: Food, clothing and taxes.
The expenditure for intoxicating
liquors averaged 14.51 per cent of
the total income. The lowest aver
age price of food, from 1890 to 1903
was in 1896, when it was 95.3 per
cent Of the average price from 1890
to 1899. The highest price was in
1902, when it was no.. 9 per cent of
the average price for the period:
The average cost of food..per family
in 4S90>was $31s; in 1896, 1896; in
1902, 1914, and in 1903, $342. e. D

A NEW FUEL.

A new fuel successfully tested
ID here has been invented by jacob
Smith glass worker. 1t is said to
possess more heat units per pound
than either coal or wood, it can be
manufactured and sold at u profit
for half the cost of coal and it does
not smoke except when u strong
draft is used. It's success as fuel
for domestic uses was determined
several weeks ago, but not until
this week when it was used beneath
engine boiler, was it's value for
manufacturing demonstrated. The
fuel is made largely from the refuse
of the pulp mills, of which there are
q number about Muncie. Each mill
turns out thousands of tons Of refuse
annually. The refuse, a combination
of soda and lime, used in the decom-
position of wood. ia mixed with
crude oil and the finished product
resemb les putty. It may be cut with.
: spade and thrown into furnace
or beneath a boiler. No kindling is
necessary, for a match touched to it
will light readily, the material burn
ing with an intense heat. There
are no clinkers and the ashes IT,
manning after the fire has burned
down may be made into a new COM
pound, for which Mr.. Smith has
another use. !,
A bushel basketful of the fuel he
meath q sixteen horse power engine,
at a7lQcal factory, kept steam up for
eight hours. It is manufactured as
plasterer makes his mortar. The
government patent Office has called
it the ''Smith fuel" Local manu-
facturers are interested in the tests
now being made.-Munice (Ind).
