cases where some one must work i

Hon C. G. Conn today authorized the statement that he would not be
a candidate for democratic nomina

state will go democratic two years
hence. The above from the La Porte Argus-Bulletin seems to be a practical admission that the democrats have little hope for this fall. Republicans wont worry over the result two years hence.

Boston's popularity as the national bean center is in danger of eclipse by Attica, Ind. An Attica gardener, Enon Fenders, who claims to be able to trace his penchant for "pork-and" back to Boston ancestry, has grown a crop of beans which average twenty Bix Inches in length of their pods. William Clark, 2S89 Calumet avenue, brought home a few samples of the beans from Attica. He says the villagers there are determined to pluck Boston's laurels. "AN this "year's crop will be used by Attica gardeners for seed next fall," said Mr. Clark.

Passenger traffic officals of the Pennsylvania system will be upon the carpet at the next meeting of the Central Passenger association to explain their reasons for breaking the rules and agreements of the association. They are charged with breaking an agreement entered into just after the passage of the Ohio two-cent a mile law. for which one fare for the round trip on Sundays

The monthly market day was the
ocasion for a large turn-out of stock
and horsetraders and several sales
were reported. Mr. S. E. Green, the
founder of this institution was pres
ent and was very much pleased by
the remarkable growth since the inception of the fair day about four years ago. These sales bring in a
class of liberal buyers and promote the general business of this part of
the city to a great extent.
It is not to be wondered at if the disciple of the modern yellow daily newspaper Is a pesimist. It screams crime, revolution- riot and wickedness from sixty-point headlines to agate advertisements. The keen scented reporter's nose for news has apparently come to recognize nothing but smells that would, or should, make the rightminded, right-loving citizen grasp his olfactor with both hands and hurry on to the other side. Fed on this literature a man's mind may well come to resemble the Augean stables. As he sits in church on the Sabbath ay he may see onlyjthe hypocrites in the other pews, and as he listens to the minister he may hear only the monotone of current
crime
Although the early summer was an unusually dull one on the road there has been a great deal of increase in the freight business on all of the roads a? well as the passenger trade. The Erie has had an enormous increase in business the last month. During the dull season this summer some of the engineers that have held their positions for three years were turned back to firemen. Among these the oldest was Court Scott. This summer for several months he was firing an engine but about two weeks ago with the increase of business he was returned to his engine and he is now making his trips as usual at the throttle.

East Chicago's new amusement en
terprise on Chicago avenue, is about completed and will open to the public next Saturday. It is an up-to-date electric theater and will give
performances nightly with Wednes

theater should make money as it wil
fill a long-felt want and provide a
refined place for the public to spend
a few pleasant hours. The admis
sion is to be five cents. The venture
is backed by Mr. Charles Berry, who
thinks favorably of his prospects
There are about thirty like theater
in Chicago and he thinks the population of the tri-cities to draw from and a frequent change of films and talent that he will have abundant success.

McMahan Declares that Motorman
Thought the Motive Robbery and Had the Right to Shoot to Prevent Escape of Assailants. What is described by the attorney
for the prosecution as a foolish at
tempt on the part of Neff and Bill
ings to secure the conviction of Motorman Baxter for shooting Neff
in order that a compromise might be effected that would result in release of the defendants with a minimum
fine, fell through completely when Judge McMahan ordered the discharge of Baxter on the grounds that
he was justified in doing what he did under the circumstances.
In his decision Judge McMahan
said: "After Baxter had been murderously assaulted by his assailants
he was of the opinion that the motive was robbery and had the right to
take the measures he did to prevent
the escape of the assailants." Mr.
McAIeer, for the defendants, argued that the judgs was not acting within the law, but was advised thati he could take the case before another judge if he was not satisfied with McMahan's decision. The judge said that he was acting conscientiously in the matter and did not believe that there was a jury In the whole coun
try that would convict Baxter, under the circumstances, for shooting Neff. Neff and Billings were bound -over to the superior court and will be compelled to furnish $500 bonds each to guarantee their 'appearance at the trial.

Three street car loads of Congregational Sunday school pupils of East Chicago, on their way home from Jackson park, where they had been attending a picnic yesterday, were mobbed by a crowd of South Chicago hoodlums at 106th street, and besides injuries that were received by several members of the party, a number of them had their clothes ruined. As the cars were at the corner of 106th and Ewing avenue, they were suddenly bombarded with a hail of
stones and mud from the hands of the mob of young toughs who followed the car. Several of the stones went through windows and hit the children on the car, and handful after handful of mud was thrown through the open windows and upoq the clothing of the passengers. Mr. Van Auken. the Congregational minister, called upon the con
ductor to put a stop to the fulisade!
of stone and mud, but the only reply j was the statement that this was a ' usual occurance in that part of the! city. j The East Chicago people are very Indignant over the affair and will try to place the rsponsibility some-1 where and obtain redress. They are of the opinion that it ought to be possible in a city like Chicago, to ride through the streets in a public conveyance without being subject to such indignities.
