He expects to begin the erection of his winter bungaloo on Euclid avenue, just west of the Marshal's, within a few days. Mr. Melton, the city engineer, is also talking of erecting a building here and moving here for the winter so as to be located conveniently for his work finding it inconvenient to live at Indiana Harbor and work here. Mr. Hodges, the attorney is rushing his building on Sixth avenue and Virginia street. This will be the first dwelling house to be completed in Gary. It is a neat cottage set on a concretefoundation, two stories high. Frank TVarno has purchased property south of the "Wabash and is erecting a building there which he expects to occupy as a general store. He expects to move from his present quarters about Sunday. Mr. Warns has enjoyed a good summer here having practically a monopoly of the grocery and meat business. Mr. Bigelow, chief of the police of the Steel company, was out from Chicago today getting his forces here organized and into shape for careful work in the plants and mills on the north side. He paid the city officials a visit and expressed his intention of working hand in hand with the city in protecting property and the people here. Mr. Bigelow is a man of many years experience in this line of work and has handled many unusual conditions in the policing and caring for the large properties which his company owncs. The invitations are out for the wedding at Lexington, Ky in which the Secretary of the School Board and Assistant Chief Engineer from our city will officiate as the lesser light.

A library and reading room has been provided In addition to their regular quarters. This will be well equipped ith good reading materials and Mr. Stewart, the Presbyterian minister, has obtained permission from Mr. Falkenau to hold services there on Sunday morning for the men. An organ has been shipped out and will be placed in the library for the use of th men. In fact every thing is being done to provide rest and recreation for the men who are to do their work. The surrounding country here is all &gog over the rumored attempt to hold up the Lake Shore Limited last evening near Pine. Large numbers of men have been scouring the woods and hills all around here last evening and today looking for some one who might have committed such a desperate act. The local comment by police and others is to wonder at the hlnd-sightedness whl'-h would lose the opportunity of having men on the spot, or in the neighborhood when the time for the train to come should arrive and calch the man in the act of stopping the train instead of permitting him to see that his game was lost and give him a chance to take to the woods. He undoubtedly knew every foot of the surrounding territory and could readily make his escape whereas his pursuers were at the disadvantage of having to step out of a lighted train into the darkness and then start off in a strange wilderness to look for some one they did not know. Lowell New 3 The roof of the Lowell opera house building is being replaced and put in a safe condition. The Hadaah company is at the opera house this week. It is showing to packed houses each night.

At last there seems to be an agita tlon on the part of our people toward the idea of getting the interurban railway from Gary via jCrown Point to Lowell. There is no re-ason at all why Lowell should not have an interurban within its limits, and with the proper spirit it can be landed. ; Call a meeting, get the ball to rolling; let us do our part, anyhow. Chicken thieves seem to be getting pretty numerous down in this country. Several depredations are reported. Merle Cleaver had six dozen fine chickens stolen; Mr. Sierns. thirty-five geese and a lot of chickens; William Chugan, five or six dozen, and Jim Turner, ten bushels of fine potatoes. Some of the farmers over east got after the culprits about 2 o'clock one morning within the present week, and chased them five or six miles, but they were flyers and escaped. They go out in rigs, prepared to make big hauls.

Farragut was but thirteen years old when he served as midshipman under Porter in the battle of the Essex against the Phoebe and Cherub. He was taken to the Thoebe as a prisoner of war, says his biographer, and came aboard crying from mortification. At the same moment, however, a British middy also came alongside with a young pig in his arms. "A prize! A prize!" he was shouting. "Ho, boys, a fine grunter!" It was a pig that had been a pet in the steerage of the Essex, where it was called Murphy. Farragut at once claimed it as private property. "You are a prisoner, and your pig, too," replied the British middy. "We always respect private property," said Farragut, grabbing the pig and determined to hold on till forced to surrender. "Go It, little Yankee!" cried the oldsters present. "If you can thrash Shorty you shall have your pig." A ring was formed, and Shorty came at Farragut hammer and tongs, but the American was handy with his fists. He quickly laid his opponent low. The British bluejackets cheered him heartily, and the p!g was declared to be his. Not Flattering. S. Baring-Gould, the English novelist, had the bitter pleasure of reading many not flattering obituaries of himself. Through an error he was reported dead, and the newspapers of his native land declared unanimously that he had left no good work behind. An American editor dined with BaringGould in London. The talk turned to the premature obituaries, and the American said. "How did you feel on reading them?" Taken aback, nonplused, the novelist grimly replied: "I felt like a lady who owned a parrot. This lady's cook came to her one morning in joyful excitement, 'Oh, ma'am,' she cried, 'the parrot has learned some new words.' 'Good,' said the lady. 'That bird Is wonderfully teachable. It sits and drinks In every blessed word my husband says to me. What does It say now? 'It keeps a-sayin',' said the cook, "Shut up, you old fool i""

BULLETIN" Next week Kfn and the ihowau. An amusing paper In Chambers' Jour nal on John Richardson, the Illiterate find successful English showman of the last century, contains this story: It was during the earlier and less fortunate part of his pilgrimage that he numbered Edmund Kean among his company. The old showman was not a little proud of this association and used to give himself some credit for having had a hand in Kean's theatrical education. When Macready'a name was becoming known In the dramatic world Richardson was asked If he had seen him. "No, muster," he said, "I know nothing about him; in fact, he's some vagabone as no one knows one o them chaps as ain't had any eddlcation forthe thing. He never was with me, as Edmund Kean and them riglars was. The Old eat Bank Notea. The oldest bank notes in the world are the "flying money," or convenient money, first issued in China In 2G07 B. C. One writer tells that the ancient Chinese bank notes were In many respects similar to those of the present day, bearing the name of the bank, the date of Issue, the number of the note, the signature of the official who Issued It and Its value in both figures and words. On the top of these curious notes was the following philosophic Injunction: "Produce all you can; spend with economy." The note was printed In blue Ink on paper made from the fiber of the mulberry tree. One of these notes bearing the date 1399 B. C. Is still preserved in the Asiatic museum at St. Petersburg. The Equinoxes. "The popular belief that storms are more frequent about the time of the equinox, or when 'the sun crosses the line in March and September, receives some slight degree of support from the Investigations of European scientists," states an expert of the weather bureau. "In southwestern Europe March is the stormiest month, while In the British islands and Norway January takes the lead in that respect; but, considering Europe as a whole, it appears that storms preponderate near the seasons of the equinoxes." Good Do sr. The brave Newfoundland had just rescued his young master from the boiling surf. "My dog, too," Bald L'Oignon pensively, "once saved my life." "Tell us about it," said Tete de Veau, with eager interest "I sold him for $3." said L'Oignon, "when I was nearly starving." Full Price.
