Had Fine Camping Trip And Caught Many Fine Fish.

The Nim Hopkins’ quartette of fishermen returned Thursday evening from their tenth annual fall outing on the Kankakee river. They were holding their heads high in the air for they had enjoyed a 'very successful Ashing week. They report catching 17 salmon, weighing from 2 to 10 pounds each; several channel catfish, several goggle-eyes, a number of croppies and oodles of bullheads. They were camped just below the entrance of the Hodge ditch in the Kankakee.

Welded Tractor Wheel That Would Have Cost Owner $100.

A mammoth cogged wheel which is a part "of a large tractor owned by T. M. Callahan was broken in five places, including the loss of one cog. Mr. Callahan investigated the cost of a new wheel, expecting to buy one, and found that it would cost SIOO. He took the parts of the broken wheel to Jim and Harve Hemphill, who welded it by the acetylene process. The job was a big one and they worked about all day Wednesday at it, but it will be just as sound as ever and Mr. Callahan will make a big saving.— Adv.

News and Comment By The Lake County Star.

One day last week the county jail register said 116 boarders, which is about the average. The poor asylum average is close to 150. It is said by people traveling over the country in automobiles daily that the acreage of wheat sown will double that of any season heretofore, and while much of the seeding is up and growing, some are still sowing. Adam Gerlach is . preparing to start for Florida again to spend the winter, and that is as near Mexico as he cares to get, although he says it is the grandest country in the world to live in if one was sure of keeping their scalp on. The Cedar Lake outing season is steadily growing less as cool weather approaches, and it is believed this has been the greatest year of profit the business places there have ever had. Prices have been kept up and there has been no end to the patronage. The Kankakee river is the lowest now in the time the people can remember back, and there is no moisture in the earth found by digging graves. We haven’t had an old fashioned soaking rain late enough so it can be remembered and it looks we are fast coming to irrigation, and the only obstacle in the way is where we’ll get the water. A married man from the south part of the county was brought here on the charge of bastardy this week, and settled the matter by paying SSOO. He pleaded guilty to living with the girl for a time in another state as -raan and wife, and he was quite lucky in getting off so cheaply. A similar case -from East Chicago was tried in the circuit court this week.

EXPENSIVE COSTS IN COLLECTION SUIT

Witnesses From Cincinnati Have Costs Aggregating $36 in Suit Involving $18.43. Hoile Bros., of Knimaii, were defendants in-a suit for $16.43 brought by the Rich Pump Co., qf Cincinnati. The defendants claimed they had paid the account. To present their case the pump company sent its bookkeeper and stenographer, Misses Bertha Lang and Emm(| Hartmann, here to testify in the case. Charles Hoile, one of the brothers, contended that he had sent to the company a check he had received for threshing, but he could not recall whose check it was and the. young ladies stated that no such check had been received. The jury found for the plaintiff and as the young ladies filed claims for their witness fees and mileage from Cincinnati, the costs of the case amounted to three or four times the amount involved and this will all be charged to the defendant.

State Makes Another Borrow Of $250,000 to Meet Debts.

The democratic administration of Indiana again finds the state treasury empty and has perfected arrangements for a loan of $250,000. They say this will run them until December. In August the state was obliged to borrow $400,000 to meet democratic deficiencies, and on these two loans up to December 31st the interest will amount to $13,322, a nice little item in itself to charge up to Democratic extravagance. It is patent tllht the rank and file democrats all over Indiana are thoroughly aroused over the wasteful financial record of their party and will express themselves at the polls a month hence. There is an organized movement on in Indianapolis a.nd Marion county among leading democrats to clean up the faction of their party ndw in the saddle, and they will be given support in every county in the state.

Germans Thought to Be Losing Ground in France.

Although the dispaches from the European war are often unreliable, there seems considerable indication that the Germans have lost considerable ground during the past week. No decisive result is expected, however, for some time and it is possible the actual losses are about equally divided, if indeed, the allies are not suffering the greater olsses because the Germans are in defenside positions.

CLEARLY STATED; COME WITH US

Ton Must Be Interested If You Want to Get the Best Kind of Government. Will H. Hays, chairman of the republican state committee, has issued the following statement to the voters .of the state, under the heading “Come.”: “There are thousands of republicans in Indiana who have never taken an active part in their party’s affairs.

‘iMany think their duty ends with voting. These men are ‘not interested in politics,’ and by their neglect permit evils to develop—evils which would vanish absolutely with the proper increased participation by citizens in the actual ‘polities’ of their country.' 1 “Many have not taken part by reason of the belief that their help was neither needed or not desired. They believe they have not been asked. ~ ‘The reasons of neither class are sufficient. “If we want clean politics, strong tickets and consequent good government, we can get them—but never if we are ‘not interested in politics.’ What we need in this country is not less ‘politics’, but more attention to politics. The man who has no tftne for attention to politics has no just complaint, whatever he may receive. He is riding on another’s ticket.

‘The campaign of 1914 is open. The issues are definitely drawn. The republican state platform is an unequivocal declaration of the , party’s purposes. The state is alive with republican enthusiasm. The absolute necessity of the practice of the great fundamental principles of the republican party in the nation is again demonstrated. The state’s need of the party in the management of its affairs is no less apparent. Our candidates ape men of the very purest character, severest honesty and greatest ability. Success is merited—victory is ahead. “All republicans in the state of Indiana, all those who ever voted the republican ticket, all well wishers of good government, regardless of past party affiliations, are urged to aid. To all the faithful workers who, since the earliest days of the party’s history, have worked for its success, we appeal with a full appreciation of the great service rendered in the past and a thorough realization of the efficiency of their experience and quality of their loyalty; to those men who, two years ago, for any reason voted other tickets, we appeal with an equal appreciation of the quality of their citizenship, the integrity of ther motives, and ther loyalty to the principles on which the party is founded; to those good men who have always in the past been the opposition, but who now, in the light of the additional evidence of the correctness of our position, are concluding that we must, indeed, be right; to the taxpayers of the state of Indiana, who in their own affairs strive for efficiency and practice economy, and expect like efforts by their public servants; to the young men, on whose shoulders the burdens will soon rest, and who will see the republican party, the party of the future, applying to new confidences the wisdom of experience and the efficacy of honest, zealous service. “Especially do I appeal to those republicans who in the years gone i by have taken no active interest in I politics, feeling possibly that they were net needed or desired as working members of the organization, and ask that they, and every one of them, become volunteers today in the cause of the republican party, not voters merely, but workers; that they today offer their services to the precinct committeeman in their precinct, to the county chairman In their county, and to us here, day and night, and-will work from now until election, for a purpose far greater than the success of the party—for the ultimate goal that no harm shall come to the republic; Tt will not be said in the campaign of 1914 by any republican in 'the state of Indiana that he was

Ladies From Brook Locked Up Sunday in Rensselaer.

Three ladies, said to have been from Brook, were unintentionally made prisoners for a short time last Sunday in Rensselaer, They were here with the husband of one and observing that the door of the courthouse was open they went into the ladies’ rest room. Janitor Morlan and his wife had been in the courthouse and had not noticed the ladies enter and when they went out he locked the doer. Shortly afterward the ladies wanted to leave and were horrified to find the doors locked. They managed after a time to attract-the attention of some boys on the outside and at about that time County Auditor Hammond, who was doing some work at his office, also heard the noise of rattling doors and made an investigation. He had a key and released the ladies, who were getting considerably worried.

not given a chance to work. You are here and now most earnestly and most sincerely urged to join the fighting force and become a potent part of the party of protection and prosperity, with an equal voice in the management of the party’s affairs with every other man in the party. To do this is your privilege and duty. Tt has always been the volunteer soldier that has merited the praise of a grateful people. Be a volunteer in this fight for better government, a protective tariff and lower taxes. Come.”
