MERE MAN MUST HELP IN THE SPRING CLEANING.

There are ever so many things that he can do. Besides his annual job tf taking down the stove in the sitting room, he can beat the rugs and the
carpets, take down the pictures, lug around the step ladder, and go about
with his mouth full of tacks. He thinks he has it hard when he Is work

mess and the smell of wet floors and the wife with her head swathed In a towel, and the marks of scrub water still evident upon her arms. He thinks
this Is a hardship, but it is not a microbe, compared with what he finds him
self into, with the missus bossing him around the house and telling him
how to do It, and no credit for anything.
There are certainly two times in his life when a man finds himself of small consequence. One, at his own wedding and another when he in a rash

A well dressed young man walked up
to the door of Mrs. E. B. Cmbright, 22 South State avenue, Indianapolis, yesterday and after pausing a few mo
ments, tentered. A $100 gold watch was found to have been stolen. A Raffles is suspected. Negro pocketbook snatchers were
at work yesterday in Indianapolis and
two white women were the victims. One lost $1.00 in change and another $1.40. Miss Minnie Lynn, one of the victims, fainted when she was robbed.
"After being a prisoner in the juvenile detention home for two days, Oliver Moffltt and Albert Sowders escaped. The boys were being held for breaking into the store of Ida Emanuel in Indianapolis. The Horse Thief Detective association has volunteered its services for the purpose of aiding In the effort to apprehend "Worley Osborn, who is wanted for the murder of Fairy McClain of Kokomo. The women of Anderson are aiding in the effort to locate factories. They surprised the men's committee by announcing that they propose to take 100 Instead of twenty-five of the lots. The funeral of Congressman A. L. Brick, was held from the home. It was attended by notables from all over the country. The funeral cortege was the largest evel hald In the vicinity of South Bend. Because they had to negotiate with

butlers and maids before being admitted to a residence of the North Side, school enumerators made slow progress in Indianapolis, Saturday. Joseph Burns, a young man living In the country near Boonevllle, wrote his name and address on an egg which was later sold tn the local market. After several months he received a note

Although Mrs. George Metsker of South Bend admits the shooting of Carlton Morgan at Cassopolls, Mich., she will hot say whether the bullet was intended for Morgan or for her husband. Dr. W. V. Hartsell, whose death occurred suddenly in Rensselaer from heart failure, was a man of considerable wealth and many eccentricities. So far as is known, the only will he made was in 1883 in which he bequeathed all of his property to a bachelor brother. Frank Jordan, formerly of Logansport, has the distinction of reading his own death notice. He was reported in the newspapers as having been killed while switching cars. At the time he was In the hospital awaiting an operation for appendicitis. The "Bachelor" the new semi-weekly
paper published by the students of Wa-. bash college, made its appearance Saturday. M. H. Brubaker is the editor."
Cheer up. Let us hope It won't last long, and panic, you know, cannot live within the sound of the thud of the pick and the whir of the wheels.
IN POLITICS
Reports come from various parts of Lake county that Sheriff Fred Carter is appearing hither and thither in the Interests of his candidacy.
THE CREAM OF THE Morning News
Auditor Johnson of Crown Point returned yesterday to tho county seat after attending the oratorical contest here. Charley believes that oratory Is a great training for politicians.
A Hammond high school girl lay dying Friday night at St. Margarets hospital, while her mates were expressing their jubilance over the oratorical victory in Towle's opera house. The girl was the victim of a relapse brought on by a too early return to her studies, following an attack of typhoid fever. While the other boys and girls of her classes were giving vent to their school yells and indulging in other evidences of the exuberance of their spirits, the girl in the hospital raved in her delirium over her studies. There is a lesson in lhi3 sad circumstance. It Is that too great care cannot be exercised in the cases of patients who have suffered from the ravages of typhoid fever. It seems the more pitiful that the young girl's death was due to so worthy an ambition as the one which prompted her to leave her bed before she was in a condition which fitted her for study. But hers is not the only case where health and even life itself, has been sacrificed to too close attention to study. While it behooves every child to get an education, it is to be deplored that it is sometimes acquired at such fearful cost. Where health is at stake it i3 no disgrace for a sudent to be a year behind
his or her clases. But it is difficult to make the ambitious young scholar
believe this.
Ernie Shortridge down at Crown Point, who Isn't worrying about politics this year, is worrying very much,
however, about another thing and that
is an antomoblle. Mr. Shortridge be
lieves that he has an attack of auto
mobile fever and may succumb.

CROWN POINT FAILS TO
SEE MIDGET ELOPEMENT.
Giant and GianteM Plan for Plight of
Little Folks, but Stern Parent Intervene. An elopement of two of the main at
tractions of Ringllng Brothers circus,
Chicago, was narrowly averted yester
day when "Caretta" and Lord Roberts,
two of the midgets in the curio hall, were caught entering an automobile
that was to take them to Crown Point, where they would have been married. Colonel James J. Brady, publicity maanger of the circus, was just leaving the Coliseum when he saw the tiny pair about to enter the car. For the last week the two had been constantly together. The parents of both children . travel with the show and they have tried to keep the midgets out of each other's company, but in vain. Ella Ewing the giantess from Missouri and Tantran, a Texan giant, helped plan the. elopement and were in the automobile. All during the day the little people were downcast and the children who visited the circus wondered why . and commented upon the melancholy midgets.

The visiting delegates to the luncheon, at which there were about 100 persons present, all assured the gathering that the towns they represented were willing to help in any way that might be found feasable in solving the sewage and water supply problem. Mayor Lawrence Becker of Hammond, said that he could more thoroughly appreciate the value of good water because as a cowboy he had many times been forced to drink from the water holes with cattle. Dr. Evaai Talks. Prevention of sewage pollution of Lake Michigan was the purpose of the meeting. Dr. Evans, who was the principal speaker, presented statistics of the Inroad of typhoid fever In communities which had not adopted preventive measures. The death rate In Chicago was shown to have been reduced from 17.38 per 10,000 to 1.78 10,000 last year.

Mayor Becker of Hammond said Indiana cities bordering on the lake wera eager to aid in the project, but were hampered by the constitutional Umlta-. tions placed on the debts to be Incurred by cities. Resolutions were adopted which declared in part: "The members of this conference pledge themselves to secure if possible from the local authorities which they represent the adoption of measures for the disposal of sewage, either by outlet for sewers that are In no way connected with Lake Michigan, by burning or some scientific treatment that shall render It Innoxious and harmless."
