THE trouble with the small banks the difference between 3 per cent Is for the depositors and for the stockholders. 12 per cent THE ANXIETY is relieved in Lake county. Consul Winslow, accredited to Valparaiso, was not due to report until the earthquake was over. OOM JO Cannon is not too old to run for the presidency just now, but he will be crowding 80 six years from now. A NICHOLAS LONG WORTH announces positively that his father-in-law will not consent to run for the presidency. This is dining room talk and consequently, you can rely upon it. THE DEMOCRATS of Illinois will hold a convention tomorrow. The question involved is whether or not Wiliam J. Bryan will have to walk over Iloger Sullivan's dead body to get the endorsement. CONGRESSMAN Crumpacker received a dozen telegrams from down the state inquiring about his safety. Among . his constituents Mr. Crumpacker has many who cannot believe that there is a Valparaiso outside of the one in Indiaua. WILLIAM Sayers, formerly a Ham inond butcher, has set himself up in a fashionable meat shop in Indiana avenue, Indianapolis. Asked If the ice problem bothered him any he faid: "I should say not. Vice President Fairbanks passes my place every day in his automobile." IT )S reported that when King Edward was taking leave of Easier William ' the.ir majesties kissed each other on the cheeks." They were both taking chances. William might have jrot some of his uncle's whiskers in his teeth while one of William's mustaches might have eutered Edward's eye. . FAIRBANKS reviewed 5,000 soldiers in camp at Fort Benjamin Harrison on Saturday and his organ in Indianapolis nays it was the "greatest evert" Perhaps they have forgotten that old "Tippecanoe" Harrison, after whom the fort was named, looked liver a bunch of heroes in homespun and leather leggins once down that way. We'll have a second George Washington in our midst before we are aware of it. Boh Mansfield who was at the head of the speekers' bureau of the state RepubHran organization in 1900 was afterward appointed to the consulship at Valparaiso, Chile. As Mansfield is toon to be relieved by A., A. Win: low of this city it is altogether probable that he was in Valparaiso at the time of its destruction by earthquake and fire. Mr. Mansfield was recently given a new post a T -j-cerce. Switzerland.

WITH THE EDITORS.

In an eastern city lately a man killed his sweatheart and then had the grace to blow out his own brains. He was buried with honors, a brass band and a procession of girls bearing flowers. They lauded him for his self-murder, but gave no thought to the crime that he committed before his cowardly taking off. He was honored as a hero for being too cowardly to face justice. Such Is human nature In its estimate of virtue sometimes. Elkhart Review. An eastern newspaper man who desired to purchased an established Republican daily In ome Indiana city outside of Indianapolis applied to an Indianapolis gentleman for information as tu which newspaper properties were considered desirable. He saw Riven the nanus of three or four all located north of the National road. The would-be purchaser started out to investigate. In each instance he found a willingness to sell if satisfactory terms could be agreed upon, but in each case he was given to -understand that ho would be obliged to advocate the nomination of Charles W. Fairbanks, proving conclusively that Fairbanks had taken mortgage upon the editorial columns of the papers in question. As the gentleman desired to buy a newspaper and not a political vassalage to a man who aspires to grease his way to the presidency with money he passed on to another state. Indianapolis Independent. RAILROAD NOTES The Monon has just added another important link" in its plan to establish a great terminal at Chicago, extending from Polk street to Taylor street, on the west side of the Custom House Place. Parties who represented the road on Friday la;;t bought the George D. Newbury proprety at lSS1. The lot is 175 feet south of Polk street. It has a frontage of 37 V3 feet with a depth of 95 feet and 8 inches and is improved with a three story building, now occupied by the Pacific Express. While the price paid is not known report has it that Mr. Newbury held the property at $2,000 a front foot, and it is probable that he obtained this price. The business of the Monon at Chicago has increased to such an extent that additional room is needed for depot tracks, etc., at that point and the purchase of the property when utilized will prove wise. ADDITIONAL. SPORTING NOTES. Whiting Grays Beaten at Valpo. The Valparaiso Standards took the measure of the Whiting Grays yesterday, but It was not the same team that came to Hammond a couple of Sundays ago and put up such a good game against the Hammond boys. The score was 15 to 3. The slaughter must have been something terrible. Hammond Boys to Goldfield. Next Saturday two young Hammond pugilists will leave this city and journey to Goldfield, New, where Nelson and Gans will battle for su premacy on Labor day. They will go via Denver and Salt Lake City and will remain in Goldfield until after the big fight. Barkley Shoots Well. Lee R. Barkley is quite well known here as one of the leading experts with the shotgun in the country, being particularly well known in the middle west where most of his shooting has been done. He commenced shooting at the trap when he was 14 years old and within a year had made a run of 117 straight, not to men - tion several runs of 100 straight. Upon entering college he gave up trap shooting and did very little of it until a year ago, when he joined the Watson Park Gun Club of Chicago. Among his best records are 391 out of 4 00 at the Rensselaer, Ind., tournament; 105 out of 200 targets at Omaha. Nebr., and 416 out of 430 at Crawfordsvtlle Ind. Although it is only recently that Mr. Barkley has been devoting much time to trap shooting, his skill makes him a shooter to be reckoned with, no matter what company he is in. Kouts Beats Joe Long Juniors. After this the Joe Long Juniors will probably play ball in their own back yards. They journeyed all the way to Kouts to take a drubbing and got it by the score of 9 to 2. The only excuse they offer is that they were out of their class and that even a good team gets a setback once in a while. For instance, Chicago Nationals 0, New York, 7. Defeat for both of these pet teams is rather hard to swallow, but Hammond hus not lost faith, ia the juniors

CATARRH CUBES HffiJOPE FIENDS Hundreds of Indiana People Stricken By Dread Drug Kabit.

HURTY SOUNDS WARNING Inquiry Among Druggists Show that There is Enormous Sale for Products of Poisons. Indianapolis, Aug. 20. "Catarrh cures, so-called, are making cocaine and opium fiends of hundreds of Indiana people, both men and women." Dr. J. N. Hurty, secretary of the state board of health had had before his eyes an example of that which he was talking about, and he did not compromise his words. "The sale of these alleged catarrh cures is one of the worst possible features of the drug condition in the state today," continued Dr. Hurty. "These so-called cures, are not in cures in any sense of the word, and are not bought for such; they are simple compounds, containing co caine which are made for the pur pose of seling this drug, and selling it to cocaine fiends." The secretary then told of a cir cumstance that he had just been ad vised of: "A young merchant in this city just came to me a couple of days ago, showing me a bottle of catarrh cure, and asking me what it contained. I had it analyzed, and found it was largely cocaine, me young man, broken-hearted, told me his story. "He had been married three years and had a little girl. He had had success in his business venture, had accumulated a little money and bought a home. His wife was in ex cellent health and the family pros pects were very bright. "Then came the catarrh cure,' continued Dr. Hurty. "This ruined the whole family. The wife was in duced to buy some of this catarrh cure by a woman friend, who told her of the pleasures of using this socalled cure. The wife tried it, enjoy ed the intoxication, and has not be come firmly addicted to its use. Her kindly disposition is changed and her whole life devoted to the cocaine habit. I believe she would lie, stea and do things even worse to get the drug," said the broken hearted hus band. 'My home is a wreck.' "Now that case is only typical of hundreds all over the state now most of which we know nothinj about, continued Dr. Hurty. "Under the present law the sale of catarrh cures cannot he stopped because it has plainly upon it the fact that it contains cocaine hydrochlorate, two per cent. In this way it conforms to the law. . . . inquiry among druggists of the state shows the fact that prepara nous containing cocaine nave an enormous sale. It leads very quickly to insanity, and general moral de generation. It is practically impoa sible to cure the cocaine habit, when it once fastens itself upon a victim Concluding, Dr. Hurty said that he advocated the restriction of the sale .mj iJic.iirtuuus containing co came ami morpnme. I would not advocate the rigid general restriction oi me saie ot drugs," said he, "but I l '1 ,1 . ' , W . . 1 t I, .. .1 1 i u.i .iw.naic awl me saie ot co came, ana morphine should be so restricted and hemmed in bv law j would be impossible to secure ! h excllt: for legitimate medecinal use ! under medical direction." STRANDED IN CHICAGO; RAISES TWENTY CENTS. Edmund Burroughs, One of New Yorks Who Discovered that "When You Leave it Yours Camping Out." Edmund Burroughs of New York City, who has been visiting Charles Shea had the thrilling experience Saturday night of being in Chicago without friends, money or valuables. He left Buffalo the early part of last week on a freight steamer on which he had been iavited to take the trip to Chicago . with two other boys, friends of his. He arrived in Chicago Friday, making a visit to Hammond then and coming again Saturday. He returned Saturday afternoon about 4 o'clock in time to catch his boat at 5:45. He arrived late in the city, however, and discovered the plight he was in. He discovered the jlight he was in. He had left his money and valuables on the boat having only a pocket knife

and a fraternity pin with him. He J tried to sleep in the depot but was j told to "move on" then going to the j park on Michigan boulevard, he slept j

J there until about 3 o'clock when it ! started to rain and he hadto move. He went down State street where he tried to pawn his pin but could net.

As usual when the market dipped under 70 cents for September there was generous bids for both September and December and this buying was instrumental in bringing about a rally of a cent a bushel for all the active futures. The news as a whole was in favor of the bull operators. Houses with northwestern connections were liberal buyers, basing their operations on the theory that the spring wheat will not be as large as the government and other statisticans have estimated it. The market closed strong with a firm undertone. The action of the wheat market emphasizes the statement recently made that there is considerable investment buying of this cereal around current prices. CORN. This market was weak and lower. Abundant rains throughout tne corn belt was the bear factor. A few rumors were circulated around the pit, reporting damage to the corn crop in Kansas by the extreme heat, but they were given little credence and as a market factor fell fiat. The cash demand is reported to be better than last week. In the last hour there was a substantial rally, the market gaining almost the entire early losses. OATS. Early trading was on a more liberal scale and at concessions in price. However, when the balance of the market became strong this cereal sympathized and regained the early declines. PROVISIONS. Weak and lower. Profesionals and packers were the principal traders and their sales depressed values slightly.

FINANCIAL LETTER.

(By Henry -Clews, Banker). I Special to Lake County Timet. New York, Aug. 20. Lot us take brief glance at our agricultural i situation, the chief basis of present "uaium. mv j We are practically sure o,,. ui of large wheat, corn and cotton crops, j The two tormer are promised uumii- ; cr yh'Ms, iinj tilt? cotton crojt may j the record if the remainder of; the season proves favorable. Last vear the value of these three crops jon the farm were wheat, j i m oi , co r n $1,116. 0 ti 0 . 0 0 0 , 1S.OO0,cotton ,1)1)0.000. a total of $2,209,000,or nearly one-third of all the products of agriculture in the try, which amounted to $6. 415,1 0 0 . the coin uiMi,t.oo bufhels, or cl0.0oo,000 more jthan last yoar; the yield of vorn ' 2,7 13,000, 0u0 bushels, or 6,000,000 I in excess of last year's bumper crop; ! while the cotton crop is estimated I at not less than 12.000,000 bales, or j l,300,o0 bales more than last year; j the oatri crop will also show a malarial increase. Some estimates 1 have, in consequence, been made that; this year's crops will reach an aggregate value of $7,000,000,000. Such ligures are probably excessive; for, while the yield of 190G is very large, prices to the farmer will average less than a year ago, and the hay and fruit crops have not been satisfactory. Nevertheless, the accretion of wealth by our farmers this year will undoubtedly be unprecedented, and considerably greater than in 1905. There must, also have been a large addition to our production of mineral wealth which last year was valued at $1,289,000,000. If to this we add the increased products of our mills and factories, which have been extraordinarily active, a fair idea of the growth of our wealth during the year can be had. The total wealth of our farms, mines and manufactures produced in laOo was estimated as follows: Agricultural products $6,415,000,000 Mineral products 1,2 S9, 000,000 Manufactures 16,000,000,000 $23,704,000,000 A five per cent addition to this amount, which is certainly the year s minimum, would equal over $1,1 So, 000,000 a pretty good amout of growth even for a nation of surprises like the United States. This increase of wealth means good employment and good wages for labor, good trade for the merchant, busy times for the mills and continued pressure of traf fie on the railroads. One prominent traffic manager has said after careful calculations that the present harvest alone means an increase 01 15 per cent in tonnage over last year, corn, and cotton promising to be the chief articles of increase for the railroads FOE SALE. $250.00 Black Piano made by C.
