Miss Eugenia Knotts spent Saturday in Chicago, and saw the MinnesotaChicago football game in the afternoon. Miss Eugenia Knotts spent Saturday in Chicago and saw the Minnesota-Chicago football game in the afternoon. Mr. Dix of Chicago came down yesterday to, look after his interests south of Broadway, which were slightly affected by the widening of the alley. The extension to the Lake Shore depot, which will be used as a freight house, is now being built. The passenger end of the building is almost completed. ; Mr. O'Connell of Indiana Harbor was here this morning for a short visit. He is establishing several saloons south of the Wabash, which are patrons of the Jung Brewing company, which he represents. The trustees of the town held their meeting this afternoon. Owing to the inclement weather Mr. Sears did not attend. No remonstrances being made in the matter of the widening of the alleys Eouth of the Wabash, the final order was made, making them twenty feet, the same as those north of the Wabash. Mr. Melton was instructed to prepare a small addition to the municipal lodging-house. Mr. Ridgeley, of Knotts & Bomberger at Hammond, attended the session in the capacity of attorney. Gary Oyter Bay. Served In any style, at all boars. Trospect avenue and Broadway. Frank Uelland, prop. Mr. and Mrs. Cutler arrived today, and are now at home in the little cottage on the beach. A neat little wreath of old shoes greeted them as they stepped Inside of the door. They, in turn, however, had a laugh at the expense of their neighbors, who, understanding that they would not come until on Monday, had gathered up a large pile of tin cans and more old shoes, with the expectation of piling them on the porch. The Cutlers' coming thus prematurely, they found the paraphernalia assembled on a neighbor's porch. The representative of the Independent Telephone company, going from South Bend to Chicago, made a visit hero today. They connect in Chicago with the Automatic company, which was recently disassociated from the Illinois Tunnel company of Chicago. Arrangements were made for seeing the different people here and in Chicago by the representative. Most of the right-of-way has been secured for the new line, and now since they are in the field in earnest it will no doubt be easier to secure terms that are more fair from whichever company is permitted to come in on a franchise. It is not generally known, but another benedict has been added to the ranks. The last recruit is the popular night watchman, Murphy. Mr. Murphy, whose correct name, by the way, is not Murphy at all, but Clayton Cooper, was married last Thursday in Chicago to Miss Virginia Abbott, also of Chicago. Miss Abbot had been at the Hotel Fitz for a short while previously. The romance began several years ago when "Murphy" was still well known in the local prize ring. Mrs. Murphy came out yesterday from Chicago, where she has been staying since the wedding until he could complete his arrangements for their quarters here. The chief of police and his men made a raid on the Polish community west of Broadway and south of the river at noon Saturday. One woman was taken into custody as she stopped from the 11:41 with several sacks full of beer and a Jug of whisky. This she was taking up to the shack where she and her husband lived, and where they disposed of the stuff. Her brother, who happened to be nearby, was also taken along, besides the witnesses that were summoned. Mr. Briggs accompanied them to Indiana Harbor, but did not intend to prosecute the case. The raid has been planned for some time, but was not made sooner because of the lack of facilities for handling the matter. STONY ISLAND. J. W. Swartzell is on the sick list. Will Farrell, from Burnside. called upon his sister in Stony Island Sunday. J. W. Swartzell was out of town Saturday on business. Jim Delaney of South Chicago was in Stony Island on business Saturday. Mrs. John Johnston has donated a beautiful handmade center piece to the K of P. bazaar. Miss Mildred attended the 'Tower of the Press" at the Calumet theater the other evening. Samuel Wogan is putting a new tar roof on his flats in Washington avenue. Lost, a white dog with a collar on. Anyone securing information about this dog will please notify Miss Mae Murphy, 1263 93 rd street, as it was valued as a pet. Answers to the name of "Coon."

Hootman, here Sunday. Mrs. Gene Duckworth received a scare in her home last Saturday that she does not care to be subjected to again in a long time, If ever. Her husband had bought some soft coal and. after burning some of it in the cook stove two explosions occurred in quick succession, blowing the whole top of the stove off, throwing the fire all over the room and otherwise doing considerable damage. The explosion sounded very much like the report from a gun and, upon investigation two blank cartridges and an equal number of battered balls were found on the inside of the stove. It is a mystery that will probably never be solved as to how the cartridges came to be in the coal, and Mrs. Duckworth is congratulating herself that she escaped as luckily as she did. A football game between Brookston and Lowell, on the home grounds Sunday, was one of the best games played here this season." It was swift from the beginning to the end. The ball was in the visitors' territory all the time and the first half was called without either side reaching the goal. In the second half one touchdown was made by Hal Viant, Lowell's star left half ,who picked up a punted ball and went like a shot out of a cannon to the goal, making the score 5 to 0 in favor of Lowell. One of the Brookston boys was unlucky enough to get three ribs broken in the first half and was taken off the field to the physician's ofilce. The game was attended by quite a large crowd.

Success in the Gulf Coast Country

Here is en example

Alfalfa. Pavs S9

n Acre,

Mr. L. C. Puckett raised alfalfa last year on his farm near Hidalgo, Texas. He cut it eight times, made a ton to the acre each cutting, and sold it for $12 a ton. Thus each acre earned $S6 in a year. That can be done in the Gulf Coa3t Country because there is so little cold weather that alfalfa grows almost fifty-two weeks in the year and can be cut every six weeks. If you will write Mr. Puckett at Hidalgo. Texas, he will tell you exactly what he thinks of the country and how he is succeeding. Think what climate like this means to the truck farmer. He can raise tomatoes in Midwinter market tender vegetables in the eaily Spring when the price is highest. There he is not limited to one crop a year, but can raise two and even three crops. Think also of the delight of living in a country which has perfect Tinters and Summers made comfortable by the cool breezes from the Gulf. Wouldn't you like to have a small farm in the Gulf Coast County where success does not depend on uncertain weather with irregular rainfall? Now the land is cheap and you can get it on essy terms. Twenty acres will cost you about' $500. The cost of clearing it is about $5 an acre. The cost of water tor irrigation varies. You may want an artesian well of your own you may get water from some river; or you may get it from your neighbor. But the cost is not great and those who have tried it have netted the first crop, a sum which has paid all expenses, and HieMfrf:efetE&!2 Take a trip down th.re and and see tor ... 5"ur seir that's the best way.
