He has crossed the continent no less than six times and is one of the best read men our country affords. He
has often said that he is "not going to quit hustling until he is a hun
dred years old," and his hosts of friends in Lowell believe that there is a great deal of truth in his re
marks. At. his advanced age, he took
unto himself a second wife, Mrs. Palmer Cross, of Hammond, about a year ago, and immediately removed with his new made help mete to Western Nebraska, where he entered

"Con" Sullivan of Steiglitz park paid a visit to the city council last evening and made some very helpful suggestions to the members thereof among which were that the council should extend the electric lighting service and water mains to that portion of the city which he aptly designated as "God forsaken" and that the council take steps to "calcimine" the streets, which last remarkbrought down the house.

400." The young woman was Mrs. Ruth
Brooks, who came to Whiting the
early part of January and was em
ployed as servant girl by Mrs. Joseph
Murphy of No. 20 New York avenue.
Mrs. Brooks claimed to be a widow
and to have a child 3 years old. This
story yielded its full supply of sym
pathy so much that when Mrs. Brooks took her departure from the
Murphy home some three months ago
she readily found employment at the home of James Arundel on Sheridan avenue.
The girl's work was very satis
factory and she continued in her employment until Mrs. Arundel became suspicious that all was not go
ng right.
The first appearance of anything
wrong" was when Mrs. Arundel
about a month ago after returning
from a Chicago hospital missed sev
erai articles of silverware. Thinking
that these had been misplaced, she
made no accusations, but sudden disappearances increased to such an extent that Mrs. Arundel felt that some
thing must be done.
Accordingly, yesterday afternoon
she sent Mrs. Brooks on an errand and during her absence secured the key to her trunk and commenced the
investigation. On opening the trunk several pieces of silverware and articles of clothing were found as evidence of the young woman's guilt. Shortly after this the girl returned and on being confronted with her guilt, broke down and confessed all her minor thefts. A policeman was called and the entire case rehearsed before him, suggestion being made that she be prosecuted and made to pay the penalty
of her evil ways.
Mrs. Arundel, however, relented, and promised not to act against the young woman on condition that she leave the house and try to abstain from such actions in the future. This Mrs. Brooks tearfully consented to
do and the last news was that the young woman intended to leave the
city.
