AN EVENING NEWSPAPER PUBBY THE LAKE COUNTY PRINTING AND PUBLISHING COMTerms of Subscription: Yearly $3.00 Half Yearly $1.50 Single Copies 1 cent. "Entered as second-class matter June 28, 1906, at the postoffice at Hammond, Indiana, under the Act of Congress, March 3, 1879." Offices in Hammond building, HamInd. Telephone 111. MONDAY, JULY 23, 1906. Gems In Verse The Sum. A little dreaming by the way, A little tolling by the day, A little pain, a little strife, A little joy--and that is life. A short lived fleeting summer's morn, When happiness seems newly born, When one day's sky is blue above And one bird sings--and that is love. A little wearing of the years, The tribute of a few hot tears, Two folded hands, the fainting breath And peace at last--and that is death. Just dreaming, loving, dying; so The actors In the drama go, A flitting picture on the wall Love, death and themes! But is that all? Selected. The "divine right" proposition has been given a severe jolt. The Czar has formally discharged the Douma but the Douma refuses to be discharged. BECAUSE a few men have been dishonest there is no reason for penan entire business. MARS is said to be short of drinkwater and from Kentucky comes the retort that that is no hardship. A CHICAGO man has been fighting to get back to the Illinois pen and St. Louis comments: "Is it any wonder?" THE president may be able to stop war between Salvador and Guatemala, but do you suppose he could induce Platt and Odell to lay down their arms? THE English tailor who is to alter the cut of the American soldiers' clothes need not bother about the fit of the back for only their friends will see that and they don't mind. THERE WAS a time when Hamwas Chicago's dump. Now Ilfurnishes Chicago's dump. If you don't believe it, walk a few blocks west and look around. IF RUSSELL Sage had his own way he would have taken it all with him. Money is not the whole thing. There is a man who died possessed of a hundred million and none so poor as do his memory reverence. ANYBODY IS entitled to the "exuse of the news when it is two days old. The Lake County Times is quite willing to leave a bone lying around when it has picked all the meat from it. HERE'S a tip: Don't rush to join the soldiery just because the army bullets are to be lighter herefor we guarantee that they will be even more effective that the present size. TO the honors heaped upon Dreyis added the historical glory of being one noble Hebrew who has been persecuted on account of his religion and race, and outlived and triumphed over his persecutors. NUMEROUS republican clubs are busy endorsing Bryan for the demoticket. Be wary of a candiso heavily recommended by the opposing party--it is a cinch that he is the easiest for them to beat. SOMEWHERE in Indiana a railman tried to buy the vote of an alderman while he was in his bath. That never happened in Lake county, for we all realize that an alderman with a bathroom is a clean man. WHILE we are importing a herd of bison to Wichita range why not donate a couple to Wall street to help out the poor bulls who are too tired and weak to battle much longer against the Roosevelt scares and scandals. EVERYBODY grafts but the tourThe waiter has the waiting palm; the bell-boy, the maid, the lackey, the porter, the baggageand the hello-girl are liketroubled with itching hands while the money-shedder wonders what the ''denmed" total will be when the jig is up.

THE attention of the Board of Health should be called to the condi

tion of the drinking water of Ham mond. For several days from every part of town comes complaint that that the water is tainted by dead fish. The taste and odor are un bearable. If the cause is to be found in the nearness of the intake to shore, the sooner it is moved out to at least four miles where it should be, the better for Hammond. There should be no delay in investigating this pollution. It is a menace to the health of every person In the city. The local health authorities are callupon to take up this question and see that a solution is made without delay. WITH THE EDITORS. A law went into effect recently in Iowa making it a misdemeanor for a public official to hold a railway pass. As a result many of those in the minor offices are giving up their places. They prefer free transportato their jobs. It is said that special elections will have to be held in some parts of the state to fill the vacancies. The situation shows that in many instances the opportunity to benefit themselves is more enticing to officethan the privilege of serving the public. It also tends to prove that the pretense so long made that a railway pass is too small a matter to influence any public official is enwithout foundation. The pass may be small as a bribe, but it is not too small to have some effect upon any man who accepts it. The Iowa officials who are giving up their offices rather than give up their passwill find in a little while that, without office, they have not the power to draw the pass. They are throwing away the cause for love of the effect. Isn't the situation in Iowa a sad commentary on our poli-conditions?--South Bend Trib-Ex-Chairman Hernley thinks Hanis good presidential timber. That is a question on which wise men may but that Hanly wiuld be far preferable to Charles W. Fairbanks as a presidential candidate is too palpable to admit of discussion. Hanhas ideas and he has courage, and he isn't afraid to be heard on public questions, but Fairbanks--why Fairin a backbone contest with a fishworm and a wet dishrag would come out third best every day is the week.--Indianapolis Independent. The lawyers and the judges are awakening to the true operations of the indeterminate law, and the measwhich seems to be the pet child of the state board of charities, resome pretty hard knocks at the meeting of the state bar at West Baden, last week. The present law has very little to comit to public favor. The people bear the expense of judges, prosecujurors, bailiffs, clerks, etc., as well as the board of pardons, the latter of which, after all, when all is said and done, fixes the punishment the real triers of the case having actually nothing to say about it. Lafayette Sunday Leader. Russell Sage, probably the most prominent example of thrift which recent years have seen, is dead. Unhis will reflects some noble and human impulse little can be said of his life except he made and saved money. He saved the pennies and in doing so lost his soul. It is impossito think of the great financier exas one without a soul. A man without a soul would not deny a pento a faithful employe who wrecked his life in saving his emIt is a matter of record in the New York courts--the supreme court sustained the evidence--that when an anarchists bomb was thrown Russell Sage used an employe to save himself. The employe has been a bed-ridden wreck ever since. And yet Russell Sage with his millions denied this unfortunate one an infor life. But after exhausting every resource known to law the hard hearted miser was forced to pay the debt. This one circumstance is enough to condemn Sage before his fellow men. His tendency toward thrift might have been a wholesome example to set before the people in these extravagant days had he not spoiled it all by a niggardness which made his saving despicable.--Lafay-Journal. AUG. SEESTADT LAID AWAY. August Seestadt was buried yesterafternoon in the family lot at Oak Hill cemetery. He having been a charter member of the Garfield lodge, the Masons were in charge of the funeral, the Rev. Charlh A. Smith, officiating. The lodge memmarched in ranks from the late home in Sheffield avenue to the cemeMasons acting as pall bearers. The floral pieces offered by friends and relatives were many, that of the Masons being especially conaccount of its size.

Between Trains

It is very sweet of a woman to permit a man who is accompanying her on the street to smoke, and it is very foolish of a man to avail himof that privilege. It is gratifying to learn by cable dispatch that Walter Welman's airengineer has built a house on Dones island which is scientifically ventilated and has a bath room. If there is any one crying necessity in that arctic region, it is ventilation bathing on the beach is reported far from satisfactory. Talk about poetry being inspiring and poets filled with divine fire; just read this little squib of verse which if pasted in some cf the street cars hereabouts. If you can tell what the fellow means by his little song you will confer a favor on our "gook," who is under its hoodoo. "If custom bars From buffet cars, Where men may read And smoke cigars; Miss Snow is quite Convinced its right, Upon the road of Anthracite." INSTALLATION SERVICES.

His serto the nation are such that he should be reelected, and a large maof our people will agree that the vast interests of this district rethe presence of a trained legisin the halls of congress. This fact does not in the least alter the high standing of the Democratic nominee, and the party is to be conupon a nomination that is a credit not only to Newton county, but the district. Judge Darroch is a fine lawyer, a patriotic, high minded gentleman. Judge Crumpacker is a fine lawyer, a patriotic, high minded gentleman. One is a Republican and the other a Democrat. It looks well for the future of the district when the two great parties nominate such admirable timber for congress. Kentland Enterprise. RAILROAD PAYS DAMAGES.

Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear There is only one way to cure deafand that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearand when it is entirely closed, deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
