THE CALL OF THE HOMELESS. In all the glorious middle-west, that beauteoue section surrounding those awe-inspiring bodies of water, the Great Lakes, 13 there one section that can compare with the Calumet region for natural resources, fine scenic effects, commercial advantages and all that goea to make up a model home for man and woman? Travelers and visitors have lauded the section at banquet board and in hotel lobbies, and more than one havo expressed themselves In regard to it as "God's own country." The result has been shown in past decades. From small hamlets cities have grown, and from insignificant townships the arms of civilization have extended until today, the whole country looks with astonished eyes at the growing commercial enterprises that have taken advantage of its wonderful facilities. The outcome is plain to see. Thousands and thousands of the best American mechanics and workmen have -torn themselves away from Eastern and Southern crowded mill and foundry towns, and with their families, have moved to this section to enjoy the better wages, and the right to breath God's pure air. Hammond, Gary, "Whiting, East Chicago and other sections have felt the growth, have seen the strangers at their doors ready and willing to become useful citizens and to swell the valuation of the towns. And how about the facilities that face ine stranger wno comes to extend as much advantage to the city as he re selves? True the growth has been so rapid that the city is at a loss to know how to handle it. But tho stranger, what must he do? Ho finds it utterly impossible to hire a cottage, a flat or In fact any kind of a suitable house to start housekeeping with his loved ones. He may have lucrative employ ment, but he still faces that awful fact that he is without a home. Per haps ho cannot afford to go to a hotel to put up hla family, and store his furniture, so, ho is facing a problem that is a hard one to solve. Either walk the streets with his family or build a tent in some vacant lot, if he wishes to have the dear ones with him Wit'i a city of the resources of Ham mond and tho other towns, with its public spirited citizens, its wealthy men, and Its enterprising business am bitions, it la a great surprise to many that something is not done towards alleviating If not finding a remedy for these evils. Thousands of prospective citizens are turned away from th city every week, and the growth of the city and suburbs Is receiving a se vere handicap that will be felt more and more every year. Yet how can it be remidled? The business men and in fact every citizen should aid. There should be soma or ganization to work out the problem to the advantage of everybody. The la bor is not scarce and land is plenty. Instead of offering homesteads for sale and endeavoring to get outsiders to in vest their money in buying property why not give them a chance to enjoy the privilege of living in the city for a time and after that period, to take ties? !es, houses should be built to rent as well as to sell, and the Invest ors would receive a good interest on their money, and in tho near future the ten and twelve etoried business struct ures would rise as a result of the in crease of new residents in our midst. CITY SHOULD HOLD DESPOILERS OF STREETS Tho South Si-ore Gas and Electric company which so badly mutilated the streets when they put in a pipe line several years ago has at last been com pelled to make the repairs they should have made long ago. X Tho men are at work under the super vision of the street commissioner and aro fixing up tho worst places. It i a pity that this work was not don long ago and the pavements that the taxpayers have been compelled to build had not been put in perfect condition. There certainly should be some way of holding a wilfully neglectful corpor , atson like the gas company responslbl for such botch jobs as they have don on Hohman street. They should be compelled to give bond that the street will be left in as good condition as they were when they were torn up and th city attorney should show no hesitancy la compelling the forfeiture of the bond In a case like this.

JOHN CAMPION GETS AHOTHER SETBACK Has About Given up Hope of Ever Seeing Fiance or Money.

.U-).n Campion of Inl.lana Harbor is down in th thro it. He believes he Is up against it. .John doesn't See the sumshlne. this beautiful spring day. The birds are riot singing for him. He feels that ho is alone in the wirld for tho hours havo become days and the days have become weeks t-iiiOM he sent the last 100 kronen to his fiancee in Austria Hungary, and he has not yet heard from her. I. onshlerlng tho little encouragement 10 lias hail from beautiful 1-lone Dico, who was his boyhood sweatheart. specially since ho proposed to l.er and etit her tho first $2o0 with which to ay lo r passage to tnis country. Camon is tho most persistent of lovers. Reviews Sad Situation. He has not forgotten that after sevn years of silence he flnallv received letter from her and by return mail asked her to come to Indiana Harbor and help to fill the little cottage that ho would prepare for them both. He can not force from his memory the fact that at first she coldly refused him because she said she was afraid to cross the great ocean that lay between them. Campion believes that if Florlca's love for him was all it should be she would not have hesitated even to cross the Atlantic. But finally she changed her mind and said she would come. The spirits of the Indiana Harbor bank employe rose and for several weeks he was happy. Then came the request for another 100 kronen and Campion willingly sent it. It was his understanding that as soon s she received the money she would cable him and he would go to New York to meet her. Hope Long Deferred. To John Campion it seems like a life time since he has sent off the 100 knoncn and although there has been plenty of time in which to her from lorica no word has come. Today in dispair Campion said that ho did not care for the money he was frald he would never hear of again but ho was sorely disappointed at the manner In which his fiancee had treated him. "I have given up the hope of ever seeing her, said Campion today, and I don't care much now whether she comes r stays." "I have canceled her steam hip ticket and that ends it all." "If she should write to you and say that she was coming, don't you think ou would relent and take her after all?" "Well," said Campion with a sigh, 'I've got that house started you know." RAISE PRICE OF MILK Hammond, Ind., April 23, 1907. On account of the high price of milk In the country, the milkmen of Ham mond have decided, In order to stay in the business, and be able to pay the milk shopper and feed man, they will be obliged to charge 7 cents per quart for milk, beginning May 1, 1907. Here are a lew ngures wnicn we wish the public to look over. In the last five years hay has increased from $3.00 to $20.00 per ton, oats from 22 cents to 4j cents per bushel. Rent about $4.00 higher. Table living 28 per cent higher. We pay the producer and one-half per cents per quart more. Everybody's wages have been in creased, except the milkman and teamster, and it is only just and right that they should come in for a taste of the general prosperity. The milkman has to rise and work many hours while others are sleeping, and then has to work all day. And if there is any one who has to wait for his pay it is the poor milkman. And then, some our customers, when they leave town, forget the poor milkman, and his hard earned wages remain unpaid. The milkmen loso many hundreds of dollars annually by the "dead beat." Now they propose to call a halt on this method of doing business. In the future a housewife changing milkmen will have to settle in full with the old, before taking on the new. There will be but one delivery a day. We give our customers the very best product which the cow produces, and we wish to bo ever obliging and generous, but we feel that we can't work for starvation wages any longer. The old method of tallying with tickets, is to be changed to tho card system. Where this system has been put In operation, it has proved very satisfactory. Thanking our customers for all past favors, we hope to earn your respect and good will. The following are the milkmen in Hammond, Whiting and East Chicago: Hammond Dairy Co., John F. Pohlklotz. Ernest Fruhling, John Lowell, John Sikorski, Pohlklotz & Cushman, Mike Sponner, Frank Delau, John Swanson and Wm. Vorman. What We Really Need. Each of us in our own email organism possesses a germ, or whatever you like to call it, which, properly developed, should eventually lead us to the realization of all our ambitions. All that is wanted is energy and concentration. The Ladies' Field. The Lion and the Lamb. John A. Harrison, a prominent business man of Stoneham, was surprised the other day when he went out in his back yard to see his pet cat and a squirrel eating out of the sama dish. He called to his cat, but the animal refused to leave his new found friend. Boston Post. Be One of the Doers.

NEW YORK LETTER. New York, April 27. Sentiment 1

upon the stock exchange this morning premium over the more deferred was a little more optimistic, but trade months. The contracts in this option was narrow in the extreme. The first are held by two or three wealthy speeupriees recorded were fractionally lower 1 lators and they experience but little than tho final sales last evening. There i difficulty in keeping the market well was a disposition upon the part of pro- j n hand. Cash sales today were the

fessional traders, however, to play the bull side of the market for a turn. Tho constant rumors of a holding company for the Union Pacific continue to permeate the air. Nothing definite or tangible thus far can be announced with any degree of certainty. Tho rumor, at any rate, serves the purpose of stimulating activity in the shares.

The balance of the market followed up ana clown the gyrations or union Pacific without making much of an impression either way. Today was the dullest Saturday In months. The bank statement was much better one than generally expected. Its effect was only momentarily upon stock values and was forgotten a few moments after Its publication. Upon the whole, the market closed dull, irregular and featureless. HEW YORK STOCK MARKET

CHICAGO LETTER. Chicago, April 27. WHEAT After a strong and higher opening, prices declined about three-quarters of a cent on very good selling by the longs who have been betting upon the crop damage reports. The news as a rule was not as bullish as heretofore. There was an absence of crop damage reports from the southwest on account of more seasonable weather for the growing plant. Weather forecasts for that section of the country tomorrow are for probable showers. Early foreign cables showed a disposition to sympathize with our advance of yesterday, Liverpool being quoted one-half to three-quarters of a penny higher. Cash demand continues good for both local consumption and export demand. Today's weakness in the wheat market was only a natural reaction after the good advances recorded yesterday and at the opening this morning. The closing prices show a fair degree of strength. CORN Shorts were able to buy all the corn they desired at fifty cents and over for the May option. This in a measure took the edge off the bullish feeling in this cereal. There is an ex cellent demand for the cash article. The sales to exporters today exceeded 300.000 bushels. This is the bull argument upon the corn market. Witk light stocks and a continuous cash demand, speculative values should show further appreciation. Today's range of fluctuations were not large but the undertone of the market looked strong and healthy. OATS A dull, stagnant market for

The 3c break in butter prices yesterday came as a surprise to the trade. Conditions did not warrant a break, well posted dealers say. Supplies are as small as they have been of late, while buyers are taking all the butter they can get, and me uuik or me sales today were at e wle uosru s quotation, mere vvus a scarcity of green vegetables and fruits and better prices were realized. There was a good demand for live chickens in evidence, with yesterday's I nriees firmlv held, and in some mstances a 1 ic advance was received.

New York Sun Gossip About the most notable feature of tho market yesterday afternoon was the weakness of the Erie preferred stocks, which followed selling of a very moderate line by one of the western houses. The traders did not know how to class this selling, but were inclined to think it indicated nothing more than that bears were feeling around for weak spots. The general market would have probably shown a little more life during the session today on the bullish influence of the reduction in the Bank of England's discount rate to four per cent, and the easier money market con ditions here and the more favorable news which continued to come In from Washington. The abnormally low tem peratures throughout the wheat and cotton belts retarding the season, how ever, held important buying in check. T. A. Mclntyre & Co. Speculation in the stock market practically came to a standstill today. The total volume of business to noon was only 240,000 shares and nearly all of this was In Union Pacific and Read ing. Fluctuations were confined In a range of one-half point, first up and then down from last night's closing, with most stocks ending practically unchanged. The only exception was the sharp break in Great Western securities, with the common stock going down to 10. There was heavy liquidation in all classes of this company's securities and the only wonder is, it has been so long in developing, In view of the recent disclosures regarding its heavy over-capitalization. The traders were bearish on Union Pacific, not on account of anything that they knew bearing upon the intrinsic value of the property, but on account of the supposed technical po sition of the stock. Some of them had been forced into a covering movement on Wednesday but found that the stock came easily in response to their de mand, and when a reaction came in the last hour yesterday they put out their short lines again. Thus it was that they all talked in a bearish strain. The old story of the segregation of the Union Pacific railroad from its investment holdings and a distribution of stock representing the ownership of these by a holding company was revived in the market advices sent out by a stock exchange house.
