"OUR KINGDOM FOR A PATROL WAGON!" NOT THAT a man who gets drunk and falls down and wallows in the gutter is entitled to any sympathy, but the spectacle of his being trundled through the main street in a wheelbarrow is not an edifying sight for a city that is aiming at the distinction of being considered the metropolis of Northern Indiana. It is also a wanton sacrifice of the dignity of the police force. Wheeling a barrow through a street lined with a gaping, jeering throng cannot be a pleasant task for a police man. On the contrary it must be the unhapplest feature of his proverbial unhappy lot. The policeman who accepts such a duty is entitled to a medal as large and as bright as the one that is bestowed on the "brave bluecoat" who stops a runaway horse and saves a life at the risk of his own. Hammond has no reason to find fault with its police force but has ample reason to find fault with the limitations imposed upon that police force. The men perform their duties faithfully and well under the most trying conditions. Probably there is no place in tho country where such a small body of men is called upon to cover so large a territory. Certainly no other police force in the country is called upon to do so much leg work. The spectacle of a drunken man being wheeled to the station in a barrow with a policeman between the shafts is not unusual in fact it has become a matter of daily necessity. Neither is the spectacle of the victim of the frequently occurring railroad accident being Jolted over the rough pavement on the bed of a springless truck. The equipment of the Hammond police department is inadequate. That fact is apparent. It is humiliating to have to admit that a city of whose present importance and future greatness we hear so much at banquets, gabfests and mutual admiration picnics is still policed after tho manner and form of a country village. Reforms were promised to come In the wake of the McCullough law. That law failed of the governor's approval and the "metropolitan" idea of police regulation as applied to Hammond Is a paradox. There is no chance of immediate improvement under the metropolitan law, but that is no reason why the citizens who advocated Its ropeal in so far as it applied to Hammond should settle Into a state of sullen indifference and hope for tho worst. Neither is it any reason why those who worked to sustain tho metropolitan law should sit fctill and gloat over the discomfiture of tho others. Hammond has pride in its present and hope in its future. Here's where that vociferously exploited "public epirit" should reduce itself to the concrete. It would not take much to buy and maintain a patrol wagon with ambulance attachments. The head of tho municipality does not see his way clear under present conditions to till this crying want out of the public funds but ho could accept the gift on behalf of the city from public spirited citizens without sacrifice of dignity, and the commander in chief of the metropolitan police forces of Indiana could not object. There is nothing that is so potent in inspiring contempt for law as the humiliation of the men who are appointed to enforce it. THAT BRIDGE QUESTION. It Is doubtful if the people of Hammond appreciate the importance of the coming visit of Lieutenant Colonel W. H. Bixby of the corps of government engineers, who seeks to know how the people of Hammond stand regarding the enforcement of the government's regulation regarding swinging bridges. It does not require much of a stretch of imagination for the average resident of tiie Calumet region to see the whole Calumet river, one great inland harbor with various outlets to Lake Michigan in the form of harbors and all Unci with wharves and docks that will be a loading and-unloading place for enormous lake steamers. Thero is no longer any question that tb Calumet region la to be tha greatcat Industrial center in tha middle

"west. The foundations are already lali and the superstructure is sure to follow. But If this region Is to realize in a full measure the great future that It has In store, It will have to take strenuous measures to develop Its harbor facilities. So far the j.ooplo liuvo been lndlf'ferent to tho mutur of harbor, probably for th i t rt.in thiit from tlu time

roi naroor Minus i. uio rrfent me efforts that havo Ihoi made have all resulted In fcitlitro tunl It poems nest to impossibles to a. -i oinpUsh anything alunK this 1 1 no. Now, however, unlos the people tf Hammond and the surrounding cities put themselves mi reeonl in smne dttermlned matinor thro will actually Ic a step taken backward and tho Calumet river, always considered navigable by tlie Kovfrnment. will become of no rnoro Importance than any little creek In tho county no far as the government la concerned. This Is an important matter that was not discussed at tho banquet of the Manufacturers' association and yet it would seem to bo a matter of vital importance to them. They talk about the tyranny of railroads in the matter of coal shipments and yet It must be apparent to them that if tho Grand Calumet river was navigable throughout Its whole length coal could be brought to Hammond, East Chicago or Gary on barges independently of the railroads and at a much smaller cost. In fact, water competition Is the only thing that the railroads fear and It is safe to say, that the freight service Hammond would get from the lines which run through this city would be vastly Improved if the shipper had the alternative of shipping by water as well as by rail. This can never be done as long as there are trestles and wooden bridges ,in never be done if the manufacturers, the business men, and the other citizens of Hammond do not protest against the blocking of the only navigable stream that flows through Lake county. ABE RUEFS CONFESSION. Abo Ruef's confession in a San FranCisco court came as a thunderbolt out of .1. elenr skv anil r,1l,1 tin, nnli- , :. .. ... loucn or sensationalism neeueu in trie already sensational case. The confession was accompanied by an eloquent and pathetic statement calculated to arouse pity in the breasts of those whose hearts are "prone to ache and who are not blaso to the wiles and connivings of cunning men. There is considerable doubt that re morse for his misdeeds was a factor in the confession other than as it af fected Ituef himself. The cynical may be forgiven for inferring that Ruel simpiy hvl tuiu ieeL ana umi nope . 1 1.. 1 1 A. 1 . - - A ' . . , or clemency actuated him in his burst of confidence. On the other hand it is within the range of possibility that sincerity governed his actions. How ever this may be the situation as it stands' offers the old perplexing ques tions that have been thrashed over so often. Whatever Ruef's motives, be they based upon sincere repentance or selfish cowardice it is a question whether what he has to offer should in any sense govern the outcome of the trouble in which Ruef and his fellow conspira tors aro involved, whether, indeed. the state should accept it at all. It is an old and perhaps wise saying that it takes a thief to catcli a thief Working on this theory the state would seem justified in making use of the moaris at its commana to Dring evil doers to justice, it tne testimony or witnesses who turn state's evidence 11-nfn r,nt oTfl n n n-.illt.r w, r.

And If he can, is the state justified in encourag ing and countenancing as its instru ment in securing the ends of justice, the greatest crime of all great crimes, the treachery which is involved in the betrayal of a friend? For the princi pies of loyalty are the same whether they relate to thieves or honest men, and honor even among thieves is better than no honor at all. Bryan After the President. If William Jennings Bryan isn't care ful he'll be put in with the personally undesirable along with Harriman and tho others. He has lot it be known that tomorrow he will publish a crlti clsm of Mr. Roosevelt's Mover-Hay wood letter, to the effect that it wasn't in keeping with the president's square deal pretensions. Of course, Mr. Bryan has always been politically undesir able from the Roosevelt point of view (as well as from that of the voters) but If he gets into a personal contro versy with the president over the square deal his name will be. In the language of a past era, Dennis, per sonally as well as politically. He may be tho greatest of Boy Orators, the only evangelical aspirant for the presidency, the chief initiator and referender. the discoverer of " government ownership of railroads," the best friend sliver ever had, and any or all of the other dozens of unique things his friends have called him, hut as a manly applyer of that "nasty little word," an expounder or the square deal, ana a promoter of enthusiastic hero worship. tha Nebraskan is a moth-eaten an archronism beside the man now occupy lng the chair he covets. He has, in fact, begun boring in about the least promising place ho could have found to let the sawdust out of his opponent's reputation. Xew York Globe. Trading Quail for a Wife. Quail are plentiful at Lake Nyanza, and after being snared in the grass by the natives they are kept in small wicker cages strung on a long pole stuck in the groud. When a sufficient number of quail have been collected they can be exchanged with a neighbor like coupons for wives. Wide World Magazine. Jealousy.

NEW YORE LETTER. New York, May 16. The stock mar ket started the day a shade higher than the previous close with Heading Union Pacific, Copper, St. Paul, Atchi son and Canadian Pacific the leading features. After a spasmodic display of strength at the opening, however, prices began to sag off fractionally up to the closing hour. There was nothing particularly disturbing in the news outside of the crop situation which is beginning to assume serious aspects even to optimistic Wall street. It is an undisputed fact that stock traders as a rule are prone to believe the bad crop reports which appear every spring, they prefer to await further developments and facts, yet while the air is full of such reports, traders are timid about buying stocks. This fact has in a great measure reduced the volume of business in the stock exchange more than any one other factor. Conservatism is advised upon all sides. Brokerage houses are reluctant to advise their clients to either buy or sell stocks until the crop situation be comes clearer. Professionals and room traders have had the market practically to themselves. Prices sway ed back and forth within a range of about one point for the active futures. The close tonight shows very little change from yesterday with the indi cations pointing to a continuance of the same class of markets for some time to come. NEW YORK STOCK (IIEI Descp.

HEARD ON THE BOURSE Should bullish enthusiasm develop in tne stock market, and should the attitude of traders and brokers and the puonc toward stock change, there would be an exploitation of hundreds of new schemes of all sorts almost immediately. Many of these schemes are perfected and ready for an opportune moment when the public will be enlightened as to the possibilities of rortune without the intervention of economic laws. Times. crop news Is now an essential rart of all gossip in the financial districts. Every brokerage house has to keep in touch with weather conditions, state reports, Chicago predictions and the best Information obtainable from the railroads. The local conditions in the matter of weather today gave riso to the hope that seasonable weather might be exrected in every part of the country. Thero was no basis for that, of course, except personal experience. The telegraphic reports indicated low tem peratures In tho wheat belt. One grain house yesterday had specific reports of snow in certain sections. This was not regarded as a very pleasant sign, but reports from the southwest were cheer ing enough. The rumor about new financing by Reading took a turn and instead o concerning itself about the alleged in tention'to issue convertible bonds bold ly asserted that tho company had bor rowed here on Monday, or arranged to borrow, $4,000,000 for a period of thirty days. This of course was a very dif ferent matter from the big bond Issu talked of at the end of last week and small as the amount was, well in formed men would not admit that there was even that much foundation for the rumors that for nearly a week pas have been a factor in the dealings in the stock. They contented themselves with pointing to the fact that Reading has no pressing financial needs an that such equipment as it has bough could be paid for, as other equipmen has been paid for, without calling on the money market to supply the funds There was no disguising the fac"t tha London sold Union Pacific on a consid erable scale. If tho special meeting o union Pacific stock holders could be held in New York Instead of Salt Lake City, a few stockholders might be on hand to ask Mr. Harriman some ques tions. Pennsylvania has acquired the last two or three years a reputa tion for moving up at the end of a bull swing in the general market. Th stock is important enough to hide lot of selling in others, and appears to be used for that purpose. L. F. Loree, the new president of the Delaware and Hudson has lost little time In making himself acquainted with the affairs of the road, and the general opinion in Wall street Is that he acquitted himself creditably In replying to the criticisms cf tho management of the company's affairs by stockholders at the annual meeting. Sun. While little liquidation overhangs the market we look for tho declining tend ency to run some further, and we would not advise buying stocks except on reactions of a point or two. There are too many adverse features at the moment to render successful any bull ish operations of importance for a time. inougn me gm-eugea issues are re ceiving support on the part of moneyed men who understand their real values and aro willing to wait for their profits. The selling in Canadian Pacific has been almost entirely long stock by those who have come to the conclusion that this security was out of line with Great Northern and other stocks of that class. In our opinion its trend will continue downward. New York Central has still very heavy financing to accomplish, which, when It comes, wm doubtless tie used as a club tor a general attack on values. General Electric and Sugar are being absorbed by investors, but the industrials generally are subject only to professional influence. 1 (1CK It is because some of the organs of the body are not doing their work well. There is a lack of that nervous energy that gives them motion. Consequently you are weak, worn-out, nervous, irritable, cannot sleep; have headache, indigestion, etc. because there is not sufficient nerve force to keep the organs active and allow them to perform their natural functions. Dr. Miles' Nervine restores health because it restores this nervous energy. "I have been sick for a year, and did not know what was the matter with me. I tried many remedies and none of them proved of any value. I heard of Dr. Miles" Nervine. I procured a bottle, and before I had taken half of it I was better. I would have had nervous prostration if I had not frot this medicine when I did. I continued to take it until I was entirely well. I have since recommended it to five of my lady friends, and they have all thanked me for doing so, for it benelited them all." MRS. ROSE OTTO, 1S9 S. 3d St., Columbus. Ohio. Dr. Miles' Nervine Is sold by your druggist, who will guarantee that tha first bottle will benefit. If it fails, he will refund your money. Miles Medical Co., Elkhart, Ind
