The state B'ipreme court has declared unconstitutional the employers' liability act except where in It applied to railroads. The ground for regarding the act as unconstitutional with regard to private corporations is that it discriminates as between employers engaged in exactly the same business. 'With regard to railroads the act is upheld because of the peculiar character of their business, and the extraordinary dangers incident to its conduct, and because the law makes it practically impossible for fin individual to operate a railroad If he should wish to do so by reason of Jacking the powers of eminent do main and other privileges conferred on railroad companies. Insurance Rill Is Killed. Indianapolis. March 2. The Babcock insurance bill, passed by the house Wednesday, lias been killed in the senate by a vote of 27 to lt. The senate adopted a minority report of the senate committer on insurance to postpone the measure indefinitely. Thti minority report was signed by Senator Slack (Dem.) and the majority report, recommending the passage of the bill, was signed by Senators Earlier. Mnttir.gly.

A few days ago a story was published here that Frank P. Smith, of this city, an oflicial of the Indianapolis, Columbus and Southern Traction company, bad been accosted by a traveling man who was taking penny collections to raise a fund to purchase a medal for Harry K. Thaw, the slayer of Stanford White. The story went the rounds of the papers, and was to the effect that the traveling man was only one of several in Indiana who were asking people for pennies to help swell the fund. When the story got as far as New York city it became twisted. The New York end of the line said that Smith was taking the collection, and suggested that the pennies be sent to him. He has been receiving pennies from eastern people since that time, and it is needless to say that he does not know what to do with them. He is not raising any Thaw medal fund and he does nt wish the money. It takes 2 cents to send every one of these pennies back, so lie is losing money on the deal. Scare Was "Too Previous." Terre Haute, Ind., March 2. A telephone message from P.urnett called for officers with the report that some one bad been using dynamite. Two deputy sheriffs drove to the mining town, but no dynamiting had been done and no one would admit having Telephoned. Some tramps had been in the town and the people became alarmed ly their talk.

Western Glucose Plant Begins to Loom Up Presence of Big Concern Will Have Tremendous Bearing on Robertsdale's Future.

"Where there is such a tall smckestack there must be something doing." It was in these words that Alderman Richard Schaaf referred to the 240 foot smoke stock at the Western Glucose company's plant and to the great activity that is so evident there. The people of Hammond and surrounding towns apparently do not realize what an enormous concern this Western Glucose company is or they would vary their Sunday trips to tiie Standard Steel Car company with an occasional visit to this new industry. It is safe to say that as a result of the locating of the plant there will be more permanent changes to the map of the northwestern corner of Ham mond than have been made in the previous ten years. hanuew on the Map. Several new plats are to put in that will nearly treble the subdivided acerage of Robertsclale. New streets are to be opened, the most important one being 119th street, which will be built over the northern end of Wolf lake just south of the Western Glucose company's plant and will open up a new thoroughfare through the city of Hammond. In fact, if 119th street is opened, it will be one of the longest and most important streets in northern Lake county. If this street is put through it will be necessary to grade the road through a portion of "Wolf Lake and then build a swinging bridge across a navigable channel. Both the citizens cf Whiting and Robertsdale have decided to unite in an effort to secure an appropriation for this improvement. The success they have in convincing the county commissioners that this is an absolute necessity if Hammond and not some town in Illinois is to reap the benefit from an enormous industry, is a matter of great moment. Fouth "Ward Awakening. All of this discussion about opening roads, the arranging of subdivisions and the paving of streets, indicates that the slumbering fourth ward has had an awakening and one naturally turns to the cause if the Western Glucose company which is building an enormous plant here in Hammond for the purpose of competing with its bitter rival, the Corn Products Refining company. Prosy Talk After Dinner. From New York comes a wail cf agony. It is the despairing cry of the bored diner; the man who goes to a banquet and has his entire evening spoiled by the stupid speeches which top off the feast. He even threatens to forego this feeling; a terrible threat for a meiropolite and an index of the greatness of the evil and its accompanying torture. The Duty cf All. We Iwb not merely in the world, but for the world as well as for ourselves. And in upturning the different strata of society what precious metal is oft discovered, what unsuspected spiritual values encountered! Ah, this is world-serving, life-bettering and gaining by giving of our time, talent, money or cheer, even more than we give. Head The Lak County Times tor the latest nevra.

EG! P. L. Sanger, the general manager ployed about 500 men and that in Waukegan, where he built a plant similar to this one a city of considerable proportion was sprung up around the plant. He said that he considered the site that had been selected in Hammond, a splendid one and that the plant that was being built there would be Increased as the business grows until its capacity will be nearly doubled. The cost of the new plant will be approximately $2,000,000 and the products will be starches, glucose, sugar, syrup, feed and oil. There will be eighteen brick buildings in all, and three or four of tlwm will be seven stories high. Mr. Sanger said there will be an immediate need for 200 houses as there of the Western Glucose company, was interviewed fey a Lake Cou.NTr Times reporter this morning and gave some interesting facts regarding the plant. m Mr. Sanger said there would be emwill be 200 families ready to move into the neighborhood as soon as the plant begins operation next summer. Hammond a Mecca for Many. Regarding the house problem Mr. Sanger said, "I suppose most of our men will live in Robertsdale or Whiting, but a great many of them have gone to Hammond and looked the town over. They like the looks of the place very much because it is more metropolitan and they would like to live there if they could only get houses." The fourth ward has reached a crucial point in its development. The people over there believe that Hammond should take up Its fight for the opening of 119th street and compel the commissioners from the southern part of the county to give them the bridge they need so badly upon the penalty of being denied an appropriation for the extention to the court house if they refuse. If the people take advantage of their opportunities there will be millions of dollars worth of taxable property added to that already in this end of Lake county in the opinions of those in a position to know, and if there is senseless opposition to these necessary improvements the population will settle over in Illinois. Good for tho Hair. Where the hair is dry and brittle, with a tendency to fall out. an English restorative is the simple cne of a free application of pure cocoanut oil. This treatment, continued for a few weelt3 six, perhaps will accomplish excellent results. Secret of Jewish Success. Isaac Seligman, the well-known New York banker and philanthropist, was asked several days ago why Jews invariably succeed, and his reply was: "My people keep their head3, work hard and spend their spare time in their homes." Keen Criticism. An English fishmonger was asked by an autograph hunter if he had any letters from- Tennyson. He replied: "No, his son writes 'em. Ho still keeps on the business; but he ain't a patch on his fayther."

Two Democrats Have a Colloquy on the Subject of Government Ownership. THEY JEEET AT A EANQTJET 7hitney Says He Cannot Stand for Confiscation of Railways. Nebraska Statesman Says Such Is Not Intended Union Pacific Official Predicts a Panic Bred by Regulators. Omaha. March 2. The Pee says: Flenrr M. Whitney, of Boston, Democratic nominee last fall for lieutenant goerr.or of Massachusetts, and William J. Bryan engaged in a spirited colloquy at the Omaha club on the subject of government ownership of railroads. It was at a dinner attended by them and several other prominent Democrats of Nebraska. "I am a director in the Boston and Maine rap" At 11 m m Aim road," said Whitney, "and yet I can conceive of there being virtue in the theory of government ownership; but, Mr. Bryan, before you can succeed in securing the indorsement of the east for your scheme you must couple with your advocacy of government ownership the specific declaration that you propose not to confiscate property, but to pay for it at its full value." No Confiscation Intended. Bryan assured Whitney he (Bryan) and his friends had no thought or Intention of confiscation and would not tolerate such a thing. "But the difficulty would be." said Bryan, "determining the actual cash value. The railroads would want to run in their watered stock." "The proper m "od would be," rejoined Whitney, "to pay for them on the basis of the cost of reproduction." Whitney Is for Kegulation. Bryan asked Whitney if he believed government ownership of railroads a possibility, and Whitney replied: "Yes, if the Ilarrimans and the Hills keep cn at work. They are promoting this cause more than any other power. They are driving people to believe in the necessity of government ownership as a relief from oppressive private owncrphip. But I believe government reg. ulation will meet the requirements." DUE TO PRODUCE A PANIC What a Union Pacific Man Says of the "Regulator" Bills. Omaha, March 2. "I believe this anti-railroad legislation will shortly produce a panic," said Vice President and General Manager A. L. Mohler, of the Union Pacific. Mohler has just returned from the Chicago conference with labor leaders. "The agitation has already greatly affected railroad building, and I think I can say that the Union Pacific will do very little new construction work for some time to come,'1 "Regarding the demand of the men for higher wages I can only say the railroads will agree to submit the proposed Increase In pay and also other questions to a board of arbitration. Whether the men will agree to this proposition is unknown. I don't know what the probabilities of a strike are, but the various railroads are willing to come to an equitable understanding with the men. If a strike is decided upon that is the men's business." Lincoln, ?eb., March 2. Governor Sheldon will permit the Nebraska 2 cent passenger fare bill to become a law without his signature. In a state ment Governor Sheldon said he did not want to 1 e understood as opposing the 2-cent fares. He was, he said. In sympathy with the legislation in a general way, but he favored results by a different method through the state railroad commission. He thought there was some doubt whether the courts would sustain the reduction, but said he would work for the enforcement of the new law. Czar Wants to Decorate MeCormick. Paris, March 2.
