Hammond and the whole of Lake county is busy today selecting the members who are to represent them in congress, in the state legislature, and who are to conduct for them the growing business of managing the county General apathy is getting in some good work for both of the principal parties, but there is considerable in terest in the camnaien at this late hour an das there, may he some sur prises sprung when the vote is counted The campaign has been a clean one from start to finish, and the candidates running strictly on their merits. Be ing an off year there is considerable talk about scratching the tickets and the men who are elected will hold their office, not by the grace of any political party, but by the grace of the in dependent voter. The growing tendency to ignore party lines and vote for the man was never more pronounced as now and there will doubtless be many ballots wasted by voters who are not careful! In preparing their ballots. The weather promises to be pleasant anl this will probably mean that there will be a large vote. In fact, there may be some surprises in store for the politicians in the way of a large Increase in the voters of the county lo correspond wiin ine large increase In population the county has had in the past two years The entire interest in the campaign is confined to the election of sheriff and representative in congress. The democratic party 13 concentrating us strength to elect a democratic sheriff, and the republican party has accepted the challenge. There seems to be no question of the election of Mr. Crumpacker to sueceed himself in congress, but Mr Gompers' efforts to secure the opposition of the labor element in Hammond and Michigan pluralities.

A READER The Lake Cocxty Times regrets that for reasons of policy your communication cannot be repro duced in these columns. It is, how ever, deemed eminently worthy or a serious reply in explanation of why The Times cannot afford to publish matter or the character or which your letter partakes. Appreciating the complimentary nature of your remarks, both expressed and implied, it is not in accord with our policy to attempt a course of university extension to teach our con temporaries how to run a newspaper. Every attack made upon The Times serves as a boomerang that reacts on the attacker. Every ill-edited, ill-proof-read page published by them is money in the cash drawer of The Lake County Times. This paper is looking for subscribers, and is getting them. So long as this is the case, would-be rivals are welcome to print such al leged "come-backs" and contradictions as they choo?e in response to Times' news and The Times will consider that the obligations are on its side. Our own space is all too limited for the publication of news for us to enter ir.to undignified and futile controver sies with contemporarie However, we thank you for your interest in the matter and for the spirit In which your communication was written. THE EDITOR. COLO AND THE SEA. 'w nen tne oanKs snip gold across the Atlantic," said a banker, "they pre fer to ship it in bars rather than in coin. It loses less that way." "It loses less?" "Yes, sir. If $1,000,000 in gold coin is shipped across the sea it is only $939,S00 on its arrival. It loses from twelve to fifteen ounces, through abrasion, through knocking about with the mo tion of the waves. The sea makes gold lose weight, you see, the same as it does human beings. "Gold bars lote less. In fine weather they don't lose over $130, whereas in like conditions gold coins have been known to lose $300. "As gold shipments of $10,000,000 often occur, to make these shipments in gold bars instead of gold coin is a saving of $1,000 or more. "It is odd to think when you cross in one of these gold-laden ships that every wave that hits the boat clips off ten to ifteen cents from its golden cargo." Philadelphia Bulletin.

STOCKS AND

Latest Movements in Bjr Direct Wires to NEW YORK LETTER. New York, Nov. 5. Early prices from London were quoted fractionally higher for American rails although there was very few foreign buying orders ac companying tne higher quotations. After the over-Sunday orders to buy stocks in this morning were executed, the market lapsed into stagnation and extreme dullness was the order of the day. A fair idea of the volume of busi ness transacted may be had from the fact that the sales up to the noon hour were scarcely 250,000 shares. Without any exaggeration whatever, it is safe to say almost one-third of this amount was confined to three or four sttocks. Reading probably was the largest in dividual stock traded in and the tone of this issue was exceptionally strong. It opened one and one-half points higher than Saturday's closing price and then started upward scoring a further advance of a point, selling at 148 from a close Saturday at 146. There is more or less manipulation in this stock and the buying power is credited at all times to one of the largest stockhold ers m Keading who has been a conspicuous bull on the property for the past two years. lie invariably comes to the support of this security whenever the market becomes too panicky. In the other higher priced rails, fractional gains were apparent all through the list. St. Paul, Union Pa cific, Southern Pacific, Atchison, Mis souri Pacific and Baltimore & Ohio all had a firm undertone. Union Pacific scored an advance of a point over Sat urday's close. The buying was pre sumably for the Harriman interests. The all absorbing topic in Wall street is the forth coming election and brokers as a rule are paying more attention to wagers of one kind and another than they are to the stock market, as a re sult stocks remained neglected. The market closed ist as it opened dull and steady without any particular feature. NEW YORK STOCK Description.

There is consid erable talk about higher rates for money, which is keeping many people from investing at present. This is good for the market. I do not expect much of a decline in prices of good stocks, and advise buying on all reactions. Baltimore & Ohio control passes to Harriman, and we are of the opinion that this stock will sell much higher. The feeling is very confident on the floor this morning regarding the politi cal outlook 5 to 1 on Hughes and no Hearst money. There is the best kind of buying in Pennsylvania, which is "ex-dividend" 314 per cent, today, and certainly looks cheap. The best houses are conservatively bullish on the general situation, and are ready to pick up stocks on all re cessions. Rumors are being circulated that St. Louis & San Francisco second pre ferred shares will resume dividend at the rate of 4 per cent. They are earn ing 12 per cent, on this issue. I am told liarriman will win out in his fight with Fish for control of Il linois Central, and the stock will be retired on the basis of $200 per share. TEST FOR SPURIOUS COINS. SImp!3 Method Disclosed by a Juror During a Trial. At this session of the central crim inal court there has been an excep tional number of eharges of making and uttering counterfeit coin, says the London Tribune. At the ' conclusion of one of the cases the foreman of the jury asked the authorities if they would take a suggestion from 12 busi ness men who during the year had to deal with considerable sums in sil ver coin. There was a most simple test for the detection of base coin. It was to cut the milled edge of a good coin sharply against the milled edge of the suspected coin. If the suspected coin were a spurious one the metal would almost immediately Begin to shave off. It was, he added, a test tnat could be carried out anywhere, on the top of a bus or in a shop, and the public ought to be acquainted with it. After making a personal test the common sergeant said he quite agreed with the suggestion of the jury as to the usefulness of the test and said It ought to be ade known.

In order to encourage the study of this book and its author on the part of high school students The Lake County Timss herewith offers prizes one for the best essay on Gen Lew Wallace and his work in general, and the other on his great classic.

Twu Auburn young ladies have not yet recovered from the shock they received when out riding, the other day. "Oh, did you ever see anything so funny!" exclaimed one to her Companion, as they rod past a big farm. "I should think the crows would be scared anyway by that thing. That scarcecrow Is a good imitation of a human being, but, Oh! It is so stiff and angular, and did you ever see such outlandish clothes! That skirt is skimpy enough, I must say, and just notice the gawky lines of the waist, but, Oh! ye gods and little fishes, did you ever see such a hat!" "Strange," interrupted her companion, "how they managed that hoe the scarecrow holds it as natural as life and, say, sa-a-a-ay! Oh!" ' "Perhaps you wouldn't wear your best clothes if you had to hoe in a garden," shouted the very angry "scarecrow," to the great consternation of the Auburn young ladies and to the no small discomfort of the horse, for it was a hot day and he objected seriously to being urged so rapidly over the ground.
