On March 19 The Lake County Times
by Its Indianapolis correspondent, pub
llshed at adequate length the rulings
of the 6tate board of health of In
dlana with reference to the applica

ter of news the article was timely. As a matter of public instruction and
guidance it was valuable. It was read and edited carefully. It was sur
mounted by conventional head lines and Interspersed with subheads for gjjie purpose of emphasis and embellishllient. Then It was printed in the sec
ond column on the front page. That was on March 19.

The article was extensively reprinted called for in the Hammond postoffice
for week ending March 25, 1907:
and deservedly so. The Lake County
Times claimed no copyright on it and was glad that its contemporaries helped it to a wider circulation even though the matter of credit was over
looked, generally speaking.
On March 26, which was yesterday, and one week after the date of original publication, our esteemed neigh
bor on the yonder side of the railroad
tracks appropriated the article, sub
heads and all, and gave It the addi

6 hop.
This is a compliment, appreciated none the loss because it may have been an editorial oversight on the part of our esteemed contemporary on
yonder side of the railroad tracks.
Having in the foregoing broken out of its shell of reserve. The Lake County Times may as well proceed to explain that its simple mission is and always has been to give this district a. newsnaner. It deals in onlv nnn

It was noted that a better sentiment
prevailed both on the floor of the exchange and on the street and instead of talk of forced liquidation much was
said about forced covering of shorts.

with National bank depositories in
New York City will be at once In
creased about $15,000,000 from customs
receipts under the provision of the act of March 14, 1907. This action Is taken
with a view to facilitating the re
demption of 4 per cent bond of 1907 and also to render available additional
funds for the usual disbursements oc-
curlng on the first prixmo. The sec
retary of the treasury has instructed the treasurer of the United States to
mall at once to the owners, the checks
for interest due April 1, 1907, on registered bonds of the 2 per cent con
sols of 193 and the 4 per cent funded
loan of 1907. The sub-treasury officers
have been Instructed to cash the checks on presentation and to cash on presen
tation any April coupons belonging to the bonds of these two loans.

The demoralized condition of the market has called forth expressions
of opinion and suggestions from many
sources and this morning's news items Include reports of a statement by Mr. Morgan who is now in Europe, also
from Mr. Schlff, lately returned from the south. The situation appears to demand extreme care, according to these and other opinions recently expressed and the course of the market yesterday appears to have caused even
greater concern than the decline of March 14. The feature of yesterday's market was the new low levels and heavy liquidation in the steel shares
and Coppers which is of course connected with the possibility of a change

XBW YORK COTTOX MARKET.
LIGHT DAWNED AT LAST
WITH THE EDITORS. Working the Black Belt. The Louisville Courier-Journal comments on the meeting of negro republicans at Jackson, Miss., recently under the guidance of Roscoo Simmons, of New York, which adopted resolutions denonuncing the Roosevelt administration and apostrophizing Foraker. It notes also the statement that there Is to be a series of such meetings held throughout the south, the purpose of which is to array the negroes against the president before the next repub
lican convention. On this the Courier-
Journal says:'
Since reconstruction days the negro In the south has mistaken his worst adviser for his best friend. Like the carpetbagger who went into the cotton Ktates after the civil war to tell freed-
men that they could dominate 6tate
politics and domineer over the whites. Mr. Foraker goes into the south in 1907
as the champion of the negro for the purpose of arraying him against those
most interested In his welfare.
President Rosevelt, who makes a dis
tinction between the negro and the negro outlaw, is a much better friend
of the race than Mr. Foraker.
Pockets in Girls' Gowns. President Thomas, of Bryn Mawr col
lege, has Issued an adict or in prac
tice it amounts to that that the girls must have pockets in their gowns. They have to carry keys, and a pocket is the only way to Insure their safety. We admire the courage of Miss Thomas
and wish her every success. We may
be pardoned for being pessimistic as
to the outcome. It has been so Ion
since a gown was made with a pocket
that probably none of her darlings ever
wore such a one. The older genera
tion can remember them well, and particularly that they were concealed in the folds of the gown, thus re-

Then Pharmacist Got Clew to Identit) of Patient. The late A. J. Cassatt at a dinnei at the Philadelphia Country club was once asked his opinion of the fashion of women riding horsebact astride. "I don't altogether favor this fash ion," said Mr. Cassatt, smiling. "1 think it leads to confusion. I was driving one afternoon on the Laueas ter pike when a rider was thrown vio lently from a spirited bay horse. Luck ily the accident happened in front 01 a pharmacy. The pharmacist rat forth with his clerk. He propped uj
the head of the unconscious rider and seeing a gold cigarette case lying in the road he took it up and read the address, "P. S. Browne, 1817 Walnul
street.'
'Jack,' the pharmacist shouted tt
his errand boy, 'telephone to Mrs Browne, 1817 Walnut, that her hus
band has' But Just then a tiny gold
hand mirror with a powder puff at tachment fell from the rider's trous ers pocket and the pharmacist called: 'I mean, Jack, to telephone to Mr Browne that Mrs. Browne has fall en"
"But at this point the clerk, who had
been burning a feather under the rid
er's nose, tickled her lip3 with it and
she smiled and murmured, 'Jim!' "And then the pharmacist shouted: Telephone Mr. and Mrs. Browne that Miss Browne has fallen off hei horse.' "

Chicago, March 27. Wheat opened
dull, at about last night's closing prices. Liverpool gave no encourage
ment, cables showing no change from yesterday. The range for the day was
k,,- tir-eirhths. the noise in the
wheat pit was like unto a rabbit be
hind a stump. Market closed lifeless
rnRV what has been said about
wheat applies to corn also, absolutely
nothine doing.
oats: Thfl market was decidedly
stroneer for all options. May oats sell
ins up half a cent from the opening
.t.i, o rr-ri trade. The close was
stronsr at the best prices for the day
cpnvismvs The market for all
classes of provisions was very strong
i,ir,o- substantial advances all
auv - alonsr the line.
There was a big falling off In hog
rece!t)t3 here and west.
This la attributed largely to bad
.,mtrv roads. Market closed firm
holding all the advance.
Ttonl Clearances. Wheat and flour equal 63,000 bush-
Is; corn 508,000 bushels; oats 70 bush-
Is.
this extent yesterday s market was
more disconcerting than the decline of the 14th Inst. Special causes for the 1 selling movement were not in evidence yesterday, and expected trouble In London was not reported, while imports of gold and a certain form of treasury
aid would under ordinary circumstances
have been reassuring.

Raymond, Pynchon & Co., of New !
York wire Clement Curti3 & Co., as follows: Mr. Schlff's talk and Morgan's
hint from London are having a good effect and market shows better support
than for some days and It is practically
certain that there will be no trouble
in London and the worst Bhould be
over.

closed active at advance.
Light $6.10 to 6.32; mixed $6.05 to

Cattle and sheep closed steady.
While the market Bhowed signs of ! liquidation at the opening, supporting orders made their appearance, and un
der the lead of Union Pacific, Reading
and So. Pac, prices rallied quickly and gains throughout the list, especial
ly from 4 to 8 points, were noticeable
from the low of tho day. Whether the improvement will be of a permanent nature it is hard to say, at all eveuts, it looks as if the market can rally,
and now that yesterday's prices reached
another low level, we are in hopes that prices will be more steady, especially
as we are of the opinion that a great
deal of liquidation has taken place and the weak accounts are eliminated.

James B. Hill In an interview says:
Last fall I told you the lights showed red to me. It looked like a recession
then. You fellows in Wall street persisted, however, that the lights showed green, which meant everything ahead was clear. We still have red lights before us. It means that we should go slow. A recession has set in undoubtedly, perhaps not a big one, but still a recession. If men will be cautious and good can be done. Granted this, I see
no reason to be apprehensive.

There are those who are looking at the situation conservatively urge the exercise of a greater discrimination and judgment than had been exercised in a long time back. It is understood that prominent railroad officials who have made a close study of the principal problems of railroads of the present time, think favorably of the suggestion of Jacob Schlff that a joint commission representing the railroads and the government be appointed to work out the differences as to policy and rates which now exist
