IS
CONSIDERED EASY
The NJ. & p. VIII Ask No Bonus,
So Manager E. B. Lincoln
Is Quoted AS Saying.
TFt. Recovery Journal, July %. ]

1T. Recovery Journal July p.
A stop was made in Ft Recovery
last Friday by General Manager +. b.
Lincoln, of the Muncie q Portland
Traction Co., who was out on a pros
pecting trip over the proposed extern
sion of his company's line from Port
land to Celina. Mr.. Lincoln while
here was in consultation with several
of our business men in reference to
securing the right Of way through our
village and contiguous territory. On
this feature, we believe, he met with
proper encouragement.
From the expressions we have heard
from our business men, and also from
our farmers both east and west of town,
we feel sure to comply with this re-
quest of the company will not be bur
densome. In fact, our people are
pleased to know that a bonus besides
the right of way is not asked and con-
slider the right of way proposition easy.
When once the company determines
their ronte, we feel safe in saying that
the right of way through our town
and its territory will not be long in
forthcoming.
All we are waiting for, from the SEN
timent we have been able to gather, is
an opportunity to get it. Our country
is just as enthusiastic tor traction
line as our town, and is ready to face
the proposition willingly and with the
right spirit

build up finances of the local unions.
Continuing, Mrs. L. NJ. Hammer,
county president, says: ITO this
meeting we invite all women to be
present and hear what woman who
has built us the membership of her
county from a few women to over one
thousand members has to say and
learn how it is done, then help to do
same. Also at this meeting will be
presented the county W. G. T. U. ban
ner promised to the union reporting
the highest number of members pres
ent and hearing Ex-Governor Hanley's
speech on July 4, at which Willard
Union reported in advance of seven
unions represented that day. 1t is re-
quested that this union will be present
as a whole on that day and publicly
receive the banner tC hold in trust
until the convention and bring it to
Recovery in triumph on Septem Der
next. Other unions near enough are
urged to come en- masse; at least Mon
tezuma and Center township should be
present.

oh you, Hobby!

Oh you, Hobby!
Two errors by Hobby Wenning on
the first two men up in the opening
inning of last Sundays contest with
the fast Portland, Ind, team, in that
city, lost the Kids a fast and otherwise
we'll played game, 3 and 2. After these
mishaps on the initial sack, Itch cost
two runs, the boys put up an errorless
game behind Fredericks and Joe's
pitching was just about as perfect.
The boys opened up the contest by
going out one, two, three. In Portland's
half it should have went the same way,
but Wenning, who has been covering
the initial sack like a Lacquer, fell down
on the first chance, muffi ng little in
field fly that he didn't have to move
tor. This set the visitors to shouting,
and when France followed with slow
grounder to Fredericks and Hobby
again dropped Joe's pretty and slow
throw, it looked like the jig was up.
Antrim advanced to third on the error
and France took second on the next
ball thrown. Bergman popped up an
other to Hobby, but he had pulled
himself together by this time and it
was an easy out. Batson took three
strikes, and then the ill-fated slap
came. Briedie hit speedy one between
first and second that neither Betz nor
Wenning could get to, and two runs
scored. James forced Briedie at second
retiring the side.
The boys came back, however, and
evened up in the second. After Betz
had rolled out to third Fredericks
started the fun with deep fly to left.
Hysell forgot the wind and the ball
went just bit beyond his reach, Joe
getting two bases. George Myers fol-
lowed with hot one down the third
base line and Fredericks raced home.
Wenning struck out, but the Rabbit
hit one Just out of reach of the second
baseman, putting Myers on third.
Kistler followed with a clean drive to
left center scoring Myers. This tied
the score and it looked like everybody
was due to take poke at Mr.. Batson,
when the McComb let down, tanning
the atmosphere viciously on three high
ones. The boys made another start for
the lead in the third. Ellis singled.
c. Meyers sacrificed, rnd a throw to
catch Ellis at second was too slow.
Betz pushed 'em up by another sacri-
flee and he was safe at first on Berg
mans tumble of the throw from third.

Finds Profit in
Chicago Feeders

George kettenring sold a bunch of
fifteen head Of fat cattle which were
taken away last Friday, that shows a
nice profit and demonstrates that II
pays farmers to give the cattle bust
ness some attention. on the End of
last April Mr.. Kettenring and Robert
Armentrout, neighbor, bought car
load-thirty head-of feeders of their
Chicago commission firm. They di-
vided the load, each taking fifteen
head. Mr.. Kettenring's bunch cost
him 1902. They averaged in weight
700 pounds. He turned them out in
his pasture fields, on which they thriv-
ed and fattened. Mr.. Kettenring re-
ceived a check of S777.7O for them,
their weight averaging 942 pounds
Considering they ate nothing but grass
and salt, the gain was certainly good
in three months deal. Mr.. Amen
trout, having plenty of pasture, is still
holding on to his bunch. George thinks
well of Chicago feeders and will soon
be ready to order another bunch. .-Ft

FIRES

A barn on the Bert Rider farm, north
of Neptune, was burned to the ground
Wednesday afternoon, as well as a
stable and granary near it. A large
quantity of hay and farming imple-
ments we're also consumed. Only the
prompt action of neIghbors seved the
residence. The barn was insured.
The fire department was called to the
George Betz laundry, on the reservoir
bank, last Monday to extinguish a
small blaze which had started in the
rear of the attic from defective fue.
The fire department was given an
other run to the south end of town last
Tuesday afternoon, when a small blaze
was discovered in the Il. r.. Totten
blacksmith shop on Logan street.
A small fire at Coldwater last Satur-
day night, which originated from an
explosion OF gasoline, put the local
telephone service of that village out of
commission the first of the week. The
operator was using some gasoline to
clean her dress when the fumes ignited
from lamp. The damage to the build
ing was slight.

FIGURING ON THE
COST EASY
Cheapness of Celina Chautau-
qua Amusements Almost
Beyond Belief.

Who can afford to go the Celina
Chautauqua?
We wonder how many have figured
out the cost per entertainment of the
Chautauqua program.
There are 81 regular entertainments
lectures, concerts-and nine band
concerts and seven moving picture en-
tertainments. Then there is ball
game and the water carnival-a total
of over eighty events.
That makes the cost to season ticket
holders for each event between two
and three cents, and in case of family
ticket holders the cost per person on
the average will run just little over
one cent per attraction.
When it is recalled that some of the
attractions, such as Maud Ballington
Booth, cost 5000 Though she person
ally retains none of the money, giving
all to her prison work. 1t will be seen
that this price is purely nominal to
ticket holders.
Any one of a score of attractions is
well worth the price of season ticket
from Driver who opens the program,
to Lindsay, who closes it.
This is certainly cheap entertain

Joel Shannon Found Near En-
trance TO Mercelina Park
Late Last Night,
Lying in a Pool of Blood, His
Scalp Horribly Torn and
Body Badly Bruised.

What was at first thought to
be a fatal accident was reported
to Night Officer McIlroy by a
couple of young men about 11;30
o'clock last night, who told
the officer that a man was lying
apparently lifeless along the l..
e. & w. tracks, northeast of the
entrance to Mercelina park.
The officer Immediately re-
paired to the scene, where he
found Joel Shannon, aged about
65, a veteran of the civil war
and a well known laborer about
town, lying in a pool of blood.
He had evidently been hit by an
incoming freight train that
reached this city from the east
shortly after II o'clock. He
was found with his feet near the
track. The officer raised his
head and placed the mans hat
under his head, and pulled his
feet away from the track. The
man was then seemingly con
scious and asked to be taken
home, again lapsing into uncon-
sciousness. The officer hurried
ly summoned the Alspach am
bulance and DIR. Wintermute, the
roads surgeon in this city. AS
the ambulance could not reach
the Shannon home, the injured
man was placed on a stretcher
and carried there.
The injuries about his head
were frightful looking by the
dim light by which the Doctor
was compelled to do the work.
The scalp in one place was rip
ped open for fully four inches,
and a couple other placed re-
luired sewing up. He seemed
to be conscious at times during
the operation. The extent of
his injuries could not be well
lscertained last night, but it is
not believed any bones were
broken.
At an early hour this morning
jhe injured man seemed to be |
resting fairly we'll. If nothing
unforeseen developes he will
likely recover.

Buying Paper Are Ideal

Hon. Martin B. TrainOr, who has
become publisher and proprietor Of the
the Greenville Democrat, the old or
gan of the party in Darke County,
gives his reasons for so doing In char
acteristic way. He says:
His object in buying The Green
Vile Democrat was with the aid of
competent employees to continue its
usefulness as a Democratic newspaper,
TO advance the cause of civilization by
a consideration of economic questions,
by upholding the enforcement of law,
the establishment of order, the aboli-
tion Of trusts and the eradication Of
