DEATH RATE

S INGREASED South Chicago Adds Its Quota to Health Department's Figures. MALES PREDOMINATE Epidemics, Which Have Prevailed During Period, Responsible for Abnormal Condition. (Special to Lake County Times.) South Chicago, Aug. 6. The health department's bulletin issued last Saturday evening- for the past seven months shows an increase in the death rate over the corresponding period of last year of percentages varying from 9.8 to 170. Sou tli Chicago has added its quota to the increased death rate. As well as calling attention to this condition, the department points out the fact that the increase of male deaths over female deaths during this time amounts to twenty-nine per cent. The past July death rate, however, was lower this year than last vear. as was also the number of deaths caused by tetanus. The. bulletin says: "The. causes of death showing Important increases are whooping cough, U'O more, or 170 per cent increase; measles, 1H more, or 124 per cent increase; scarlet fever, 192 more, or 60.2 per cent increase; pneumonia, 875, more, or 32.1 per cent increase; heart disease, 297 more, or 24.3 per cent increase; bronchitis, 103 more, or 227 per cent increase; diphtheria, 43 more, or IB per cent increase; plumonary tuberculosis, 2S1 more, or 14.4 per cent increase; nervous diseases, 101 more, or 14.4 per cent increase; suicide, 30 more, or 14.2 per cent increase; Bright's disease, 11 more, or 9.8 per Cent increase. "One noteworthy feature of the seven month's mortality is the usual excess of deaths of males over females. "During the seven months there were recorded 11,090 deaths of males and S.5S3 deaths of females an excess of 2S.2 per cent of males and an increase of 28.4 per cent over the average excess of the previous twenty years." A slight whooping cougli epidemic is being noticed at the present time by the doctors of South Chicago. No fatalities have resulted as yet, and doctors are hopeful that the epidemic can be checked before it progresses any farther. Whooping cough has shown a dangerous increase iriuring the past seven months in Chicago and the epidemic now being felt here is part of the force that has raised the number of deaths by whooping cough 170 per cent. II LEASE HOLDERS FORJDNE HOUSE Owner Rents to One Tenant; Agent to Another; Starts Trouble. The trials of a landlord, a tenant and a would-be tenant were all brought to light in a case that came up before Justice Jordan this morning, but which was dropped for lack of prosecution. Steve Saltis owns a house and lot in Broadway. The house being vacant, Saltis appointed Walter Xowak as agent for the property. As there are not many vacant houses in Hammond? both the agent and the owner were swarmed on by persons desirous of securing a lease of the premises. Saltis, apparently did not consider it necessary to inform the agent when he rented the house to John Jasovich, giving his prospective tenant a lease for one year. In the meantime Nowak had been busy. He too had drawn up papers for a tenant in the person of one Sam Newman. Neither of the prospective tenants knew that anyone else had a claim on the property and both packed up their belongings preparatory to moving into the house. But Newman beat Jasovitch to it an 1 when the latter appeared upon the set ne to take possession of the house, lie found Newman snugly ensconced therein and all settled. Saltis thought Newman had his nerve and said so. Newman defied the owner of the property and nourished his lease. Saltis started legal proceedings against his tenant. The matter came up before Justice Jordan, but when the case was called, there was no one to prosecute so the suit was dismissed. GIBSON AGITATED OVER WOMAN'S DISAPPEARANCE. The relatives and friends of Mrs. Pauline Sehermer of Gibson are extremely agitated over her sudden disappearance last evening and the aid of the police has been sought in the efforts to locate her. Mrs. Sehermer left her home last evening to take a short walk and that was the last seen of her. When the hour grew late her relatives and the neighbors started an investigation,, but found no trace of her. The hunt was kept up all night but resulted in nothing. The woman Is thought to have either hidden herself in the woods or else to have taken to some other section. She was not very well clad and is described as being about 34 years of age of stout build, with dark red hair. She was formerly an inamte of an asylum for the Insane, but was discharged as cured.

THE LAKE COUNTY TIMES

TRIPLE FUNERAL 111 SOUTH CHICAGO Three White Hearses Remove Victims of, Scarlet Fever From Same Home (Special to Lake County Tliuea.) South Chicago, August 6. Three white hearses drew up before the Malecki home at 8501 Ontario avenue today, to carry away the remains of three children, victims of scarlet fever. The dead in this home are, Mary Malecki, S years old; Edward, 10 years old, and Joseph, -aged 9. Beginning early Saturday morning the three died in succession, the last one, Joseph, passing away yesterday' afternoon. For weeks the home had been quarantined and everything that kindness and doctor's care could procure was offered to the patients. Several times it seemed as though the sufferers had passed the crisis, but early on Saturday morning Mary died, to be followed twentyfour hours later by Edward. Two more were left, Joseph, and Roman, aged 7. Both were in the shadow of death and hopes were entertained that they could be saved, but Monday afternoon, Joseph, too, passed away. Since then Roman has improved and is thought to be out of danger. The three children will be buried together this afternoon at the West Hammond cemetery. Mary and Edward Maiecki were adopted children in the Maiecki home, their parents having died about four years ago. After the parents' death they were taken care of by their uncle, Andrew Maiecki. where they were treated as children of the family. 12-YEAR-OLD GIVES POLICE THE SLIP William Foley, Escaped Inmate of Truancy Home, Eludes Captor. (Special to Lake County Times.) East Chicago, Aug. 6. While awaiting the arrival of Probation Officer Muzzall at East Chicago, this morning, a twelve-year-old boy gave the police department of that city the slip and is now at large. The boy is William Foley, and he had been lodged in the East Chicago police station all night. He formerly was sent to a home in the southern part of the state for truancy, but escaped and, cam', back to Indiana Harbor; HeA'Vft recaptured and Mr. Muzzall was about to take him back to the Parental school. Ono of the East Chicago officers took the boy out to a restaurant to get him some breakfast, and while the boy was eating, the officer went out to do some work elsewhere. When he returned, the lad had taken a walk for himself and was no where to be found. Mr. Muzball arrived to take his charge and was compelled to return to Crown Point without the boy. KES SAYS IIS JUSI00 JUL Auto Uninjured by Bath in Calumet Sassy as You Please. (Special to Lake County Times). South Chicago, Aug. 6. A. C. Menges of Grand Rapids, whose elegant auto mobile fell in the Calumet river at Ninety-second street last Saturday night, is congratulating himself to day upon his good fortune in having secured a great business advantage through the accident, namely a good advertising possibility. Mr. Menges bases his claim on the fact that he was able to run the machine away from the scene of the accident today after he and his two friends who were with him in the car, had done their own tinkering to repair it. In Mr. Menges' opinion, the fact that they were able to repair the dam ages in so short time Is proof positive of the car's substantlabllity. He took the car to Chicago this morning in order to make arrangements for his advertising campaign. He will return to South Chicago this - afternoon to gather up a few of the belongings of the machine and proceed to his home at Grand Rapids. Mich. Mr. Menges is still missing the tracings for patents that he had with him in the machine, and is afraid that they are permanently lost. Although a satchel was found Saturday night, said to contain blue prints and other valuable xapers, he says that the tracings of the most important of all of them were not in the satchel and that they must be in the river where they are surely spoiled by this time. In the excitement of the accident last Saturday, vandals got away with the automobile lights and the search lights and Mr. Menges has notified the police to be on the look out for any person trying to sell the same.

"I wish to speak to you about that barrel of apples I bought day before yesterday," said the kind-looking old gentleman. "You'll have to see the clerk -whe sold them to you," the grocer an swered, very snappishly. "I don't know anything about them." "But I desire to say to you personally that" "Now, look here; I can't be bothered over every pound of sugar ot pint of cider or barrel of apples that my clerks sell. Just see the young man who waited on you. lie's around somewhere." "Yes, I see him there at the back end of the store; but I really felt that it was my duty to tell you about it. You see " "If I stood around listening to everybody who comes into this store to complain that they've bought something they didn't want, or that they've been slighted, as they think, by my clerks, I wouldn't have time for anything else. You'll please excuse me. The clerk will hear your complaint, and if there is anything we can do you may be sure it will be done. But we can't take back a barrel of apples after they have been out of the store two or three days. You can surely Bee that if we did business in such a way " "My dear sir, I don't want you to take back the apples, and I haven't any complaint to make. I merely wished to tell you that I found the apples at the bottom of the barrel to be just as big as the one3 at the top. I believe In the principle of giving praise wherever it may be fairly given, and I stepped in to order another barrel, but I see you're too busy to bother with such a trifle this morning, so I will be going."

He alleges that while serving in the hospital corps in Cuba, where the dead and dying were all about him, he valorously slipped on a wet floor and sprained his wrist. Kansas City Journal.

THE MASTER PIECE BY A MASTER BAKER LEECHES AND LEMONS. The Latter a Cure for the Former in Ceylon. "Wherever you go, in Ceylon," said the sailor, "you always carry a lemon with you. For punch? No, sir; not for punch. For leeches. "They ain't merely water leeches in Ceylon; they're land leeches, too. These blood suckers hang on to bushes and trees; they lurk in the grass, waitin' for you. The average size before dinner is only about half an inch long and no thicker than a hair you might say invisible. They easily work their way through the thread of your stockings and under wear. After dinner they're as fat as your finger. "Wherever you go the leeches prey on you. I was dressed in white one night, ridin' with a beautiful Ceylon girl, when I saw a red streak on my white pants below the knee. Ex cusin' myself hastily, I retired. It wa3 a leech, of course, dlnin' with me uninvited. "The only way to get them off without breakin' them and leavln' theii heads inside you is to squeeze a few drops of lemon on them, the same as if they was raw oysters. That par alyzes them and they fall to the ground like ripe fruit. Every two or three minutes you see the Ceylonese stop, take out a lemon and anoint carefully the half dozen leeches stuck in a black mass to the calf of the leg "The average Ceylon leech was, 1 said, half an inch long. Yet there's cuuic l uu mice lAiuico 4.nxo i jump, by crinus, that jump on you j from the bushes a3 you pass by. "Sounds doobious, don't it?

BIG STICKS IN LONDON. Johnnies Carrying Canes of 46 Inchei and Size Is Growing. The London "Johnny" has a'ne fad. This time it concerns his walking-stick, which has now reached the extraordinary length of 46 inches, and is still growing. Of course it is impossible to make much use of such a stick as an aid to walking. The London dude carries hia horizontal wise, much to the annoyance of other pedestrians before and behind, and especially at crowded crossings. It is hardly reasonable to suppose that the New York "Willie Boy" la going to follow in the footsteps' of Ijondon's "Johnny" in this matter of wnlking-sticks. Neither New York nor any other busy American city would stand for them. Imagine one of these walking canes, carried horizontally, attempting to board a subway or Brooklyn bridge train or to turn a busy Broadway corner during rush hours. Everybody who has attempted to board a train carrying even a email package can imagine the fate cf the walking-stick. N. Y. World. Surely Deserved Something.
