Railroad Notes

Henry Naumann haa been employed as watchman at the Nickel Plate tower at the Sohl street crossing. The civil engineers, who have been working on the double track of the IsMckel Plate between Hammond and Stony Island, returned to Fort Wayne yesterday. R. II. Lahommedieu, manager of the Michigan road, went through Hammond to Chicago from Detroit in a special thia morning. He was accom panied by a party of friends and other officials. W. II. Caniss, president of the Nickel Plate road, went through Hammond this morning on No. 5, due here at 6:40. He was on his way to Chicago from Cleveland. The pay cars for the Monon and Nickel Plate employes stopped in Hammond today. W .F. Yergens, master mechanic, and F. A. Henry, master car builder for the Erie, with headquarters at Huntington, were in Hammond on business this morning. Patrick McCarty, captain, and M. L. Bull, lieutenant of the Erie police force, were here from Huntington on business today. William Drake, day operator at the local station of the Erie, is taking a few days' vacation and Night Operator J. C. Ruff is filling his place. Several changes have been made in the office force at the C. J. Ray Kerger has bten promoted from night rate clerk to assistant day rate clerk, and Pert Anderson has been transferred from check clerk to night rate clerk and Mr. Terry of Michigan City has taken a position as bill clerk. Can't Kill This Man. Henry Wright, a hodcarrier, employed in the construction of a new brewery at Bentleyville, this county, to-day lost his footing and plunged 83 feet from the roof of the structure. In falling he encountered two two-incb planks, which were broken in twain. Wright lay immovable for a few sec onds and two physicians were sum moned.

In an age when high-born girls marry chauffeurs, grooms, bookmakers and others of a similar social grade It may be forgiven to mothers if they are e-xtremely particular as to what acquaintances their girls may make. Duchess, in the Throne. The Way to Riches. "Believe me, friends," said the millionaire earnestly, "there Is no greater happiness than in earning one's bread by the sweat of other people's brows." PSYCHOLOGICAL. Influence of Souls on Souls. An American physician now comes forward with the astounding information, that the soul has a given weight, ranging from one to one and one-half ounces and may be weighed on the scales the same as any material or merchandise. No sooner had this announcement found its way into print than the famous French astronomer and physicist took up the discussion, substantiating in part the doctors discovery and further adds that "souls may have influence on souls." In other words; the soul may have influence on another soul at great distance, in such a manner as to actually direct the receiving soul's movements. This is classified as a psychic message. The above is splendid food for thought and no doubt is being thoroughly investigated by brilliant and capable minds and even accepted by some of them, but the question that runs in my mind is this: If psychic manifestations cannot and do not engage my senses only when slumber, partial or complete has control of them, why should I support any such theories, much less advocate them? To support, believe in or follow the visions that come to all of us, more or less, during slumber, is an indication of an unsound mind Take stomach correctives better still, correct the physical ills and psychic manifestations disappear. Mark weil how this is stated. Again if vision Is impaired by increasing years or because of some physical anomaly of the eye, do not hesitate to consult the Optician who has successfully gtted many thousands of patrons to their entire- satisfaction in the past 15 years. If lenses (glasses) will restore vision or give relief from eyestrain you may rest assured that nothing will be left undone until the proper combination has been found.
