Gary News

Mr. Miller and T. E. Knotts spent yesterday in Chicago. Geo. I?. Sheerer made a business trip to Chicago today. E. P. Ames of Hammond went to Chicago this morning on business. Miss Florence Shea, who was operated on for appendicitis yesterday, is reported as doing well. The repair wagon of the street car company was in Hammond yesterday doing some repairing at the corner of State and Hohman streets. Mrs. A. L. Bryan is improving rapIdly after her recent operation and expects to be able to return home in a few days. Several carloads of piling arrived over the Lake Shore daily. They are hauled to the bridge, pointed and then sunk by the pile driver in the office building foundation. J. V Reed, the Hammond contractor, went to Indianapoli3 yesterday on business. He will probably remain there for the remainder of the week. Mr. Wichter, the Lake Shore agent is making arrangements for a helper, the heavy freight and passenger traffic being more than one man can handle. There is some talk of organizing a baseball team on Prospect avenue. The would find enthusiastic support and there is undoubtedly much good material among the various camps. Mr. Parks, formerly of Chicago, is doing a general commission business here. He is putting up the McFadden flats. He has brought in and sold several carloads of potatoes and other vegetables. Large quantities of brick, cement and gravel have been shipped in on the south switch along the swale This material is for the foundation for the foundry that is to be built just north of the switch track, about two hundred feet south of the ma chine shop. One concrete mixer has already been unloaded as . well as several carloads of rough lumber for the concrete work. Twenty-four carloads of structural iron and steel and other materials were switched in yesterday along the cut the steam shovel has been making south of the B. and O. The large moving crane for the handling of the heavy frame work will come in today and then will commence in earnest the construction of the large machine shop. The steam shovel has been working for nearly two months excavating the foundation. When completed the shop will have a length of twelve hundred feet, although only about four hundred feet of it will be built now. Messrs. Gatens and Richards of Cleveland, O., who are also staying with Mr. McFadden, are looking after the work. Mr. Gatens was in charge of the erection of the steel corporation's large tube mills at Loraine., O. The writeup of articles in the met ropolitan and one of the local papers concerning the tragedy that took place at Tolleston. showed plainly to those who know the situation that they received their information second handed. The drunken brawls that took place just prior to the murder were in the very center of Tolleston. at Gordon's saloon and the killing was done within two hundred yards of the saloon and was more than two miles front Gary It is true that we have not organized completely as yet. but were it not for the fact that saloons are exclud ed we would have another Oklahoma such as thev ha dat Whiting when it was being built. It was a common occurance for men to be killed and robbed. Tolleston August Sehroeeler has sold his lot In Gary on which a saloon will be erected. Mrs. J. E. Sears of was in town yesterday Mrs. Townsley. South Gary the guest of INDIANA HARBOR. Mr. Stuckrath of South Bay Co. of Chicago, transacted business in Indiana Harbor yesterday. He contemplates a two months' trip to Europe soon. Palace of Sweets CANDIES AND ICE CREAM

St. John News.

Charle3 Gerlach, . who formerly worked with Gerlach Bros., is staying at Hammond now. Mathias Hermann's new two story residence near St. John will be completed wdthin a short time. Some of our young people went to Crown Point last evening to take in the Wallace show there. The Rev. A. Heitman has not shown much improvement in his recent illness. Ij. A. Markwell was here from Chicago yesterday on his monthly business round. Edward Klein returned from Chi cago last night where no nau oeeu on business. Jocob Klassen and family spent Thursday at Crown Point to attend the wedding of their nephew' and cousin, Nicholas Leinen. Joseph Gerlach is making preparations for threshing. He has some new attachments for his machine. Joseph Bohling, Jr., who visited with his grand-parents, returned to Hammond yesterday morning. His sister Miss Emma, will visit relatives at Crown Point for a few days. Lowell News. Homer sick. Stowell is reported quite A number of our people attended the great Wallace shows at Crown Point Thursday. ' Mr. and Mrs. Aaron Crawford leave today for a few days visit with Chicago relatives and thence for an extended visit at Cherokee, Iowa, with Mrs. James Crouch, a sister of Mr. Crawford's. Mrs. T. E. Saxton, wife of Attorney Saxton of Hammond, is enjoying a visit with her grand-mother, Mrs. John Hill, here and uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. S. C. Kenney at Palm Grove. A message has been received here from Brazil, Ind., announcing the very serious illness of Kenneth, the 5-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. John Brownell. Mrs. F. E. Brownell, mother of Johnnie, left on the Monon Thursday morning for Brazil. The rural mail carriers out of Lowell are a happy lot of boys. Postmaster Nichols received an order from the postmaster-general Wednesday that all carriers who have been in the service twelve months are allowed an annual vacation of fifteen days, the order taking effect July 1, 1906. In the years of service' none of the carriers of Lowell have ever taken but a few days off, they could not afford to and the order is a pleasing departure to the boys. Crown Point Charley Friedrich. Mayor Becker and B. E. Escher were Crown Point visitors Wednesday. Attorney J. O. Bowers of Hammond was a Crown Point visitor Wednesday. Mr. Bowers is one of the heavy investors in Gary real estate and is very optoniistic regarding the future of that locality. Hon. Thos. J. Wood suffered another fainting spell, Monday evening while at work in his chicken house and had to be assisted to his rooms. It was not as severe as the previous one, yet serious enough to cause his family considerable alarm. He soon recovered, however, and is now able to be about again. Next Saturday will doubtless be a big day for the politicians and candidates as the big crowd expected will give them an opportunity to see see and meet a good portion of the population of Lake county. It will be the informal opening of the cam- j paign, and will be followed by the Firemen's tournament at East Chicago and the fair at which events the boys will probably gather and extend the glad haifds to all tney know. The Firemen's Tournament at East Chicago August ISth promises to be one of the biggest events cf the kind ever held in this portion of the state. An effort is being made by the local fire company to run a special excursion train from Crown Point on that day. There should be a good attendance for here that day, and everyone who can should

plan to go over to support our team in the race for the championship.

A large hay barn on Mrs. Henrietta Hennings farm northeast ol town ws struck by a bolt of lightning last Saturday night, and burned I to the ground. The barn, which was a large one, was filled with hay and this is a total loss. The barn was ! insured in the Lake County Mutual for $800. The fire occurred about I S : 0 0 o'clock and was first thought j to be D. A. Root's farm. Several rigs drove out from town but arrived too late to be of any assistance. Mi.';s Margaret Buck visited friends on the East side Thursday. Howard Owings is visiting his sister, Mrs. Zeigler. Bern, to Mr. and Mrs. Edward Gray of 110th street, a son. Miss Inez Loe left for yesterday to visit relatives "Wanatah F. W. Daegling and family returned yesterday from Bass Lake. Dave Twitt, formerly foreman of the boiler shop, is now working on the stills. Miss Margaret Jenkins of Ohio avenue, is entertaining Miss Ruth Brockway of Joliet. Mrs. E. II. Fifield left this morning for Joliet to visit her mother Mrs. Burroughs. The Whiting Foreign Missionary society held its monthly meeting at the Methodist church last night and elected officers. The undertaker here who has charge of the man murdered at Gary yesterday, says his relatives have not yet arrived to take charge of the body and that it is in such condition that unless they reach here tomorrow, the body will be buried at once. A Rhapsody on n Metton Chop. When a primitive man wants breakfast he takes a sheep, kneels upon it, holds it between his legs and cuts its throat. He skins it, and, taking a slice cut of it. fries it on the coals for breakfast. We also demand not less tapera tively cutlets for our breakfast, but we manage it another way. We procure 'an individual some way off to kill the beast and another out of our sl''it to cook it. We have a paper fril! put around the bone to disguise It, and set a pjt of flowers straight before us t ) look at while we eat if, but, to the sheep to the sheep it can make little t'i.Tereneo which way it is eaten. We still do our unclean work, but we do it by proxy. And it may be questioned whether what we gain in refinement we have not lust in sincerity. Fortnightly Ileview. I The Mineral Jadp. Most people Lave probably seen jade ornaments without having a very clear idea of the material of which such tilings are composed, .jade is an exceedingly tough but beautiful mineral, much of which is found in China. It is of rive colors, the most highly prized jade being the white, yellow and green varieties. The rarest of all, is red jade, but this is sc scarce that it has no place in market valuations. The mineral 13 frequently found in the beds of streams, and in searching for it Mohammedans are generally employed, as it is believed that people of this faith are sensitive to its presence, and, like the dowsers or water finders, are affected with shuddering fits when passing over a place where jade is t j be found. Animal Clever "WltU Their Feel. Goats are the most sure footed of our native animals. They can walk upright where the average human being would not crawl. Horses are the daintiest treaders, however, though they cannot climb. No horse will step on a man if it can possibly help it. It is a standing rule in cavalry regiments that if arooper is dismounted he must remain perfectly still, when the whole column passes over him without injuring him. Camels are careless, on the other hand, and the man who came out unharmed from under the feet of a camel corps was not born to be run over bv any beast or vehicle. Aerated Witter. Artificially aerated drinking waters were the invention of the chemist Joseph Priestley, who in 1772 published his "Directions For Impregnating Water With Fixed Air In Order to Communicate to It the Peculiar Spirit and Virtues of Pyrmont Water and Other Mineral Waters of a Similar Nature." Some one has calculated the consumption of aerated waters in Great Britain and Ireland to amount to 200.000,000 gallons a year. London Standard. The Rutins Passion. 'Now I've queered myself for good with Miss Pretty face." "What did you do?"

A SUBMARINE FOREST.

Wonderi of the Offshore Si Coast nanffe of California. Along the great blue current of Japan that sweeps dawn the California coast is struug a chain of islands. They are the summits of offshore sier ras, a coast ranga of California that ! has been partly overwhelmed by the j sea. All have a peculiar beard, or pro- j tecting growth of weed, that consti- j tutes a perfect forest about them, a giant seaweed growing in water sixty j or more feet in depth and forming a ! natural wave break and a home for countless marine animals. The vines j are sometimes 100 feet in length, vast ; cables, with broad, crimpled leaves of ; a dark olive hue, which assume graceful shapes in the tide. When the visitor peers down into the turquoise water the scene is often a revelation. A new world is opened I up and ths real beauties of oceanic or ! Rubraarine scenery are appreciated. The great leaves are carried by the fitful currents that sweep these islands j in every direction. Sometimes they ! are extended at full length and appear like a horde of green snakes. Agaiu they lie down upon the surface, listless and drooping, taking myriads of shapes and forming nooks and corners of great beauty. So attractive are these forests that what is known as the water glass has been elaborated into a glass bottomed boat, which has several large plate glass windows through which the passengers jay look down into the kelp forests and view a panorama of the sea. These boats range in size from rowboats to sidewheel steamers, so arranged that they can float over the forest and view its wonders up and down the coast. Chicago News. PUMICE STONE. The Frodaet of Monte Chlrica, on the Island of Llpari. Tumice, as is well known, is of volcanic origin, being a trachytic lava which has been rendered light by the escape of gases when in a molten state. It is found on most of the shores of the Tyrrhenian sea and elsewhere, but is at present almost exclusively obtained from the little island of Lipari. Most of the volcanoes of Lipari have ejected pumaceous rocks, but the best stone is all the product of one mountain, Monte Chirica, nearly 2,000 feet in height, with its two accessory craters. The district in which the pumice is excavated covers an area of three square miles. It has been calculated that about 1,000 hands are engaged in this industry, GOO of whom are employed in extricating the mineral. Tumice is brought to the surface in large blocks or in baskets and i3 carried thus either to the neighboring village or to the seashore to be taken there in boats. The supply is said to be practically inexhaustible. Pumice is used not merely for scouring and cleansing purposes but also for polishing in numerous trades; hence the fact that the powdered, pumice exported exceeds in weight the block pumice. Between twenty and thirty merchants are engaged in the pumice trade on the island. London News. RagrnraaClna. Mr. Birrell's story about the little ragamuffin in a church school stirred a clerical correspondent to write a letter wherein he spoke of ragamuQns as "boys who have more rags than muffins." No doubt that was not meant to be taken seriously from the etymological point of view. The muffin of the word has puzzled many. "Ragamuffin,'' says Dr. Johnson, "is from 'rag,' and I know not what else." According to Dr. Brewer the word means a ragged "muff" or "muffin" (a spiritless fellow). But the original RagamolTya seems to have been a demon in certain old mystery plays, whose name was probably just high sounding nonsense. It is curious, however, that "the ragman" is an old name fOr the devil. London Chronicle. Contradictions. "The more the merrier." Not so. One hand is enough in a purse. "Nothing hurts the stomach more than sur feiting." Yes, lack of meat. "Nothing but what has an end." Not so. A ring has none, for it is round. "Money is a great comfort." Not when it brings a thief to the gallows. "The world is a long journey." Not so. The sun goes over it every day. "It is a great way to the bottom of the sea." Not so. It is but a stone's cast. "A friend is best found in adversity." Not so. For then there is none to be found. "The pride of the rich makes the labor of the poor." Not so. The labor of the poor makes the pride of the rich. Cold Blooded Opinion. "When a man loses his money," remarked the cynic, "he finds out who his friends are." "Yes," answered Mr. Dustin Stax, "it is a wise compensation. When a man loses his fortune he saves the time he used to spend shaking hands and listening to hard luck stories and gets a chance to make another." Washington Star.
