In the rush for lake front park sites tiie city of "Whiting has been in the lead for some time, and after a four years' fight with the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern railroad, the case is finally to be decided during the February term of court at Crown Point. About four years ago, Charles Davison, Grant Spurier and Fred J. Smith, now mayor of Whiting, condemned for the city about ten acres of ground which lay on the lake front between Sheridan avenue and White Oak street. ItuUroMii Dispute Itlglit.
The Lake Shore railroad disputed the right of the city to the land from the very start and began the litigation that has lasted all these years. The case was taken through all of the courts arid the city won in all of its contentions. However, the law required that the proceedings of the trials ie filed within a certain number of days and the city attorney neglected to do this. Consequently the case had to be tried all over again, and at this late day the matter is finally to he settled and there seems to be no doubt that the city of Whiting will be the winner. Lund Is Appraised. The land was appraised at $1,S50 per acre and if the case is won it will probably be bought at the original figure. There is a frontage on the lake of about 700 feet and the plot comprises about ten acres of shore land. It is the purpose of the city of Whit
ing to put in piers and reclaim another ten acres, making the total that will be
devoted to park purposes twenty acres.
A induct May lie Built. There are three streets which cross
the tracks and afford access to the
park i. e.: Atchison avenue, Sheridan
avenue and White Oak avenue, and the railroads have made the proposition that they will build a viaduct to cost SSO.000 so that the park may be reach
ed in saiety, if the city will vacate
the three above-named streets. The
concensus or opinion seems to be that the railroad's proposition is a good one anci that in this manner only could a
safe approach be made to the new park
ThatAVill Be About the Toll Exacted In the Terrible West Virginia Mine Disaster. Cliariestown, W. Ya., Jan. CI. Four bodieg have been recorerwl from the Stuart mine, one being that cf John C. Quack, the others being mutilated past identification. Charleston, W. Ya., Jan. 31. Late advices received from the scene of the disaster at the Stuart company's mines at Stuart, Fayette county, is that the number of victims will be about sixty. Tire list of those known positively to have been in the mine at the time of the explosion includes thirty-eight white miners and ten colored miners. Besides these there was a number of foreigners whose names are not known. The efforts of the rescuers are directed at placing brattices in the shaft and clearing the debris from the entries. This is slow work, but considering the difficulties to be overcome good prog
ress nas been made, and the rescuing party hopes soon to be able to reach that part of the mine where the men are supposed to be. There Is very little hope expressed that any of the entombed miners will be found alive.
BEVEEIDGE AFTER PACKERS
Wants to Know About That Measure to Make Them Pay for Inspection of Products. Washington, Jan. 31. Beveridge
made inquiry of Proctor, chairman of the senate committee on agriculture,
ns to when a report might be expect
ed on the bill placing the cost of meat
inspection on the packers. Beveridge held up a large newspaper advertise
ment of meat products in which gov
ernment inspection was made the guarantee of purity, and remarked that last year Senator Proctor had said the In
spection would be worth millions a year to the packers as an advertisement.
"Yet." continued Beveridge, "we are
giving them $3,000,000 a year besides."
Proctor said he had understood it to be the intention to Incorporate the in
spection bill in the agricultural appro
priation bill as an amendment, but said that if separate action was desired the committee would meet soon and take up the question.

THEATRICAL NOTES.
Robert Mack, the comedian of the "Black Crook" company to be seen at
the Towle opera house, Saturday, Feb
2, is or rather was a dog fancier until
a few days ago. it came about in this
way. lie fell in love with and pur
chased a likely looking bull pup some
weeks ago, which he set about to
teach cute things. Among these was
the act of sitting up and speaking at
his master's command. The dog ac
companied his master to and from the theatre, but not being old enough to appreciate talent, he usually spent his time at the theatre asleep in Mr.
Mack's dressing room. One evening, however, he became restless and during the third act wandered into the wings. All went well until the heavy part of the scene came where the hero, heroine and villian get into a wordy war, the villian making some "sassy" remarks about the leading lady who is commanded by the hero to resent them. Mr. Mack's lines go something like this: "I command you to speak, speajt." When Mr. Bull Dog, who was watching the action of the play, heard the word "speak" coming from his master, he thought it was his cue, and at once dashed on to the stage, assumed a sitting posture and proceeded to bark loud and long. There was a pause, then a roar of laughter from the audience and a wild dash by Mr. Mack and the dog. After a few minutes matters quieted down and the play proceeded. Since, then, however, Mr. Bull Dog spends his evenings on the end of a string chain attatched to his master's biggest trunk.

The poor have the right to demand when they are under examination the observation of the elementary laws of modesty; they have also the right to demand of doctors professional secrecy.
