"Carter" thereupon bought two more oranges and after opening these two and discovering in front of the merchant a $20 gold piece in each one, asked the Italian to sell him a dozen of the oranges, whereupon the man from sunny Italy rejoined that "he would sella
no more." "Carter" and his friend ; smilingly took their departure, . and ' from the opposite side of the street 1 watched the Italian slowly pick up and , halve one orange after another until a dozen or more had been cut in twain, hoping to find among the fruit the $20
gold pieces that he had heard America was filled with and which "grew on trees," but which he had never seen so easily and wonderfully produced before. For many days thereafter the Italian was known to look upon anyone with much suspicion who bought oranges from him and who asked him if they vere naval or not.

Factories are coming to add to its industrial eminence and educationally the town is moving up rapidly. The younger
business men are in the saddle and the council is filled with the spirit of living up to the new opportunities at hand. That is why there is a city hall for sale here. Of course, there are some of the older generation who are fearful of '"leading out," but- the number of first class funerals is increasing satisfactorily. The city has been infected with the Zeitgeist as evident in the rising towns of northwestern Indiana, and its evidence is as interesting to contemplate as.it is novel to witness.
"Jackson's monument" is the popular name for this city that is on the market now. Jackson was a councilman imbued with a progressiveness rare in his days here., Three and twenty years ago it was built, and the fogies of the time prophesied all sorts of municipal bankruptcy when Jackson carried his point. Now the idea of the moment is a new city building worthy of a big town that is growing bigger monthly. Now is your opportunity for a bargain in a fine building centrally located in a hustling burg and eminent
ly suitable for business houses and offices, a good Investment. There is not an empty store room in town and office space is at a premium where it can be found at presejit in LaPorte.

Old thing3 are passing away in LaPorte and behold all things are becoming new, even the civic spirit and pride of the citizenry.

HAWAIIAN IS A WONDER.
An unknown man was run over by a half dozen Lake Shore trains last ' juarht between Uuflington and Indiana ' Harbor and his body was so badly jtjn'utilated that tho workingrmon who found It wero unable to pick up more .than a nail kear full of the pieces. From tho ehred of clothes that were : found strewn along tho track It is ap- ' parent that tho victim of tho accident ! was well dressed and not a laboring ' men. There was positively nothing by which tho body could be identified, and tho fact that tho destruction of the body was so complete leads to the fact that some unknown person took this means of committing suicide. The only other possible clew to the Identity of the dead man is the fact that tho accident occurred in tho vicinity of the cement works and he might possibly bo an employ ethere. Today the roll of employes at the Buffington plant will be gone over and an effort will be made to determine whether the dead man was an employe of that concern. It is said that never in the history of railroad accidents in the vicinity of Indiana Harbor has the body of a man killed by a train been so terribly cut to pieces. It was impossible to recover more than one-third of the remains. Undertaker Teal took charge of what remains of the body and an inquest will be held this afternoon.
Imported to Serve on Skii Franclaco Team He Astonishes the Natives.
Bakersfield, Cal., April 3. Barney Joy, a native-born Hawiian, the first baseball player ever imported into the United States, has arrived here and has joined the members of the San Francisco baseball team now training in this city.
jiemoers 01 a theatrical company
recommended Joy to Manager Danny
Long and he received a contract to
play in the Pacific Coast league this
season.
The Kanaka is a giant, weighing 225 pounds, and is 24 years of age. He is a southpaw twirler and in the first two
innings of the game Sunday he struck out the first five men up, fielded his position in a perfect manner and dis
played an excellent knowledge of the
game. Charles Street, who caught his delivery, had his hands full, for the Honolulu boy was full of speed and pitched a marvelous curve that broke
suddenly and fooled the batter.
Joy looks like a great find and will
surely be in the National league if he keeps up his speed like the sample he gives in practice. Manager Long and Captain "Kid" Mohler are highly pleased with the lad from the sugar cane plantation.

JOKE WAS ON PETERSON. C. J. Peterson, one of the street car
conductors on the Chicago-Hammond
