"Some New Problems and Some Old Principles Frank Stephens FATALLY SHOT Guy Hinkle, Section Hand, Killed by Fellow Worker c at Valparaiso. FIRES FIVE CARTRIDGES Murderer an Italian Tries To Escape, But Is Traced to Swamp and Captured, (Special to Lake County Times.) Valparaiso, Ind., Nov. 13. Guy Hinkle, a section hand on the Pennsylvania railroad here, was shot to death this noon by Frank Carish, an Italian, employed by the same company. Hinkle Is said to have been intoxicated, and both men were quarreling. Both were employed about the roundhouse shoveling snow when their quarrel began, but nobody paid any attention to It, and suddenly Carish drew his gun and fired flvo times on Hinkle, hitting him In the neck and Inflicting other wounds. Carish ran toward a swamp not far away and tried to hide in the weeds, but was easily tracked through tho snow by the crowd of men that soon gathered. He surrendered to John Arnold, the night policeman, and was taken to tho city jail. The shooting affair for a time turned the subject of the conversation on the streets. Tho wreck at Woodvllle, only seven miles away, is being discussed on every hand at Valparaiso. The murder, however, changed the subject, and has also taken up some of the time of Coroner Carson, who was busied in getting evidence for the inquest on the wreck victims. ASOTHEll LUXURY COMING. The price of pumpkins is soaring, and If the word of Jobbers and brokers in the big cities Is to be depended upon canned pumpkins will soon be in the class of diamonds and anthracite coal and tha rest of the luxuries which the poor man coveteth but attaineth not. The season of 1906-07 will long be remembered by the little boys and the big boys whose chief dalight is to sink their teeth deep into the mushy sweet ness of the pumpkin pie. And they will have Jack Frost to blame. A can of pie stuff that usually costs 5 cents will probably retail for a dime this winter. And cans of pumpkin that usually may be had for 43 or 4S cents a dozen ut wholesale will bring from 60 to 70 cents. The fields are full of pumpkins. Packers that usually use them in great quantities know this. They had ar ranged for it in fact. They prepared for the canning of pumpkins, then made a discovery. Farmer after farm er upon whose crops they had depend ed .imparted the sad information that when they drove to the fields to gather their pumpkins and leaned over to load the first one, their fingers went right through the usually tough shell. The next was the same, and the next and the next, clear through the field. They had been frozen. It is supposed that the freeze of the night or uct. iu tua it. mere were frosts before and after that time, but a common frost do.sn't hurt a pumpkin the packers say. MRS. J. F. R0WINS DEAD.

Wheeler of the death of her 6lster, Mrs. J. T. Rowins, at Los Angeles. Mrs. Row1n6 went to Los Angeles a year ago for her health. The body will be brought to Crown Point for interment.

Thomas Jefferson, for the -Rip Van lr.Kie scene In wtich that charact

regains consciousness after a sleep of twenty years. Just before the first rehearsal the older man explained his

plan of action. "Now, Tom, I will lie down as if asleep," he said in effect. "Then I will waken, exactly as I would if I were performing on the stage of a crowded theater. You must watch me intently. But you must not try to catch the gestures of the facial changes. Never mind the outer man; it is the inner man you must observe. By that I mean that you must try to discover the workings of my mind. For when I begin to waken as Rip Van Winkle I strive to put. myself in the mental attitude that would have been his on recovering himself after half a lifetime's slumber. I try to express the uncertainty, the confusion, the hopes and the fears that would crowd the mind of a person passing through such an extraordinary experience. It isn't necessary that your inter pretation should be outwardly like mine; in fact, I should be extremely doubtful of your success if it were. But the great point will be to express properly the thoughts and emotions of the wakening Rip Van Winkle in your own way. Never mind how you do this, and don't try to produce the de sired effects in the same wav everv time; the thing you must be concerned with is your own notion of the part and your personal feelings when you are playing it." JURY IS SECURED TO TRY LAPLDAT. Murder Cnses Engage Attention of the Court at Crown I'oiut Hour Indicted. After two days' examination of ven iremen a jury has been secured, to try John Lanidat. who . was indicted for the murder of a man named Alexan dria, committed at Indiana Harbor. The personnel of the jury is as follows: John Claussen, Crown Point; Wm. Van Sciver, Crown Point; Mat Miller, Crown Point; Joseph Berg. Crown Point; Enoch Jones, Crown Point; Wm. Steeb, Crown Point; Charles Krohn, Crown Point; Fred Hack, Center town ship; John Bohling. St. Johns township; James Westday, Winfield; Geo. Passow, Hobart. Attorneys Hembroff and Boone are the prosecutors and Bruce and Patterson are defending. From the way the jurors were ques tioned it is thought that the defense will be along the lines of emotional insanity. Three other murder trials will come up at this term of court. Duffy De France will be tried for his life and Elmer Placey will be called to answer an attempt at murder. Another surprise party of Saturday evening was that given for Miss Mollie Uutz at her home, 519 Sibley street. Oakie and Lola Smith and Charley Grossenbacher were present from Chi cago. Ihe other guests were Sophia Blohm, Linda Graves, Lydia Rutz, Louise Blohm, Annie Tanagnial. Em ma Malitzke, Lucy Newman, Mary bchreiner, Josephine Brunner, Annie Heinke, Louise Doege, Clara Flck and Emma Gruenwald. His Golden Opportunity. A Baltimore man tells of an address made to some school children in that city by a member of the board of trustees: "My young friends," said the speak er, Jet me urge upon you tne neces sity of not only reading good books, but of owning them, so that you may have access to them at all times When I -was a young man,, I used fre quently to work all night to earn money to buy books, and then get up before daylight to read them!" Sue cess Magazine. Webster's Ready Pupil. While entertaining visitors in school room, the late Granville Webster, head master of the Eliot school, at Boston, asked a small pu pil of what the earth consists, and was promptly answered: Land and water." Mr. Webster varied the ques tion slightly, that the fact might be impressed on the boy's mind, and asked: "What, then, do land and wa ter make?" to which came the imme diate response: "Mud." Danger in Open Fireplaces. In view of the astounding fact that in one year 1,634 London children have died in consequence of injuries received from open fireplaces, an ef fort is being made to have a law enacted to punish parents who leave children unguarded in rooms that hav4 such fireplace. A similar In quiry mught be made with importvit results in America, is the comment made by the New York ObserverFull Description. This advertisement appeared re cently in a Glasgow paper: "Found wandering in Castle street, on Sat urday evening, 28th ult., a child, aga about three years, healthy looking, dark hair, gray eyes and ruddy cheeks, able to talk a little and swear." Leander's Little Joke. "Crossed in love once more," lament ed the Hellespont as Leander clam bered up the bank. A One-Sided Affair. "If you consent to our engagement," said the young man, impressively, "you must not falter in your ardor. You must be prepared to make all kinds of sacrifices, and must love me the more passionately the colder I get to you, and wnen 1 finally make up my mind to desert you, you must forgive everything and love me still. Are you prepared to do all this"?" She bowed her head assentingly, and without emotion of any sort. For he -was the etace manatrer who also clayed the villain, whn was ptv. gaging the LlJ Tt CL3 CiT wronged and deserted

IN FASHIONS REAL1I

SEPARATE LONG COATS INDISPENSABLE IN THE SMART WARDROBE. A Black Broadcloth a Stjrllah and Practical Model For the Woman of Moderate Meana The Old Savr tooth Trimminar KeviveU Hood Kffecta. Every well furnished wardrobe this season must have at least one smart, serviceable long coat that can be worn equally well us a separate wrap for motoring-, traveling and for rainy days. Another indispensable garment is the evening wrap, which, if wisely selected, will also do duty for many occasions of greater or less social importance. The black broadcloth coat with long, graceful, flowing lines from shouldr CARRIAGE WRAP OP GIIAX BKOADCIiOTH. to hem Is a smart and practical model, especially for the woman of moderate means, to whom the possession of more than one separate wrap at a time is far from a reality. This woman buys a coat which not only serves as a smart accompaniment for her after noon costume, but likewise is dressy enough for evening wear. And it is in the black garment that hLq finds these qualities best combined. The skirt of the coat also forms a foundation for effective applications of braids and other trimming, the newest of which is witnessed in a ribbon trimming known to the older generation of women as sawtooth trimming. Black satin ribbon three inches in width and edged with a narrow black silk guimpe described an effective trimming on a garment recently brought through the customs. Like the majority of the season's coats, the back was its newest and best feature, the trimming being applied in a circular movement suggesting cape lines. Another one of its points which aroused some comment was the length. It could not be said that the garment was a three-quarters, and yet not a seven-eighths, but. rather, a betwixt and between, coming, as it did, but a couple of inches below the knees. The hood and hood effect are other forms of coat trimmings of the season The former appears on the rain and tourists and auto coats for service as well as effect, with the latter in use on the evening models. Sometimes it BUILT OX HTTIP.E LISTS. is carried out with shaped bands of the material, and again fur is used with telling effect Pariennes do not like the hood. The carriage wrap illustrated Is of silver gray broadcloth in a graceful shawl shape. The entire garment IS outlined with silver braid, with the Cowing sleeve draperies and collar more elaborately trimmed. Very smart end useful is the threequarter coat of black broadcloth, plala save for stitchea Etrarninri nnri It. I ' i P13 01 reiver. AAIlriUlL.
