WEALTH IN WEEDY

SAGEBRUSH. (Continued from page 1), " . ",; deserts for the manufacture of potash. It is said that the sage brush on these arid lands contain as rnuch wealth n different form as the mines in which the Nevada silver and gold -is to be found. - The tests have been - going on not only ln Chicago but elsewhere and in all- eleven of them have been made. There is not a phase of the .Question from a chemical standpoint that has not been carefully worked out and now the experimental stage is over and plans are being made to build the fac tory. Will Go To Nevada. In a few weeks Thos. A. Shea, Hobe Godfrey Harvey Godfrey and Sylvester Srarling will be on their way to Ne vada where the brush in profusion and will make arrangements to secure the rights on government land to build the first factory. The new process has been patented by Sylvester Sparling and his patent has been assigned to the few other Hammond men who have been let in on the deal. These men will supply all of the capital necessary to pro mote the enterprise and if there is any needed outside or what they are to provide, Hammond men will be given a chance to invest. That the Hammond capitalists are convinced that the process will be a money maker is proven by the fact that one of them will invest $25,000 in the stock of the company, or about all that he possesses. Will Attract Attention It Is likely the Invention will attract the attention of commercial chemists all over the world. It is one of the wonders of the present age that sci ence has made possible the utilization of a weed that has been despised and useless for centuries. The idea of extracting the .potash from sage brush was first thought of by Professor F. E. Hlrsch of one of the Nevada schools and since that time has been worked out by Sylvester Sparling of this city. The Washington correspondents for several of the metropolitan adilies have been after the story of the discovery as have writers of chemical trade journals but until today the facts have not leaked out. If the discoveries of the Hammond chemists are all they appear to be a new industry will be given to the west and what is more the west will be Indebted to the Hoosler state of Indiana for the discovery of a means of utilizing its worthless sage brush. This alone is enough to make Bill Barlow sit up and take notice. FOREIGNERS AT CLOSE RANGE. (Continued from I'age One.) We don't know where to go, outside of this settlement we are liable to be run In for hobos We have not learned the art of beating our way like the Amer lean tramp. The people are prejudiced against us, and whaS chance is there for us?" Why did you send your money home instead of laying it aside for a rainy day? 2Vo Chance to Send Money Home. "Send money home," he answered Much chance we have to send money home. Go with me and 1 will show you a man whose wife in the old coun try has sold her home in order to send her husband money here so he can live. If we had sent all ourmoney home, on what do you think we have been living since last October, when tne oart times started.' mere are a few of us who have money even now. What are they doing with it? They are dividing it with us who have no money. You see that man with that little package in his hand" (it con tained two spare ribs) "he will di vide with some one for his evening meal." "That is what we have been' doing for weeks and months, we have been living one from the other. We all dl vide what we have and try to get tlong as best we can." The reporter went to other groups of men and they told him the same thing over again. All over there seems to be a brotherly division of the few goods that they have Are I'reasted For Rent. Adding to the hardship at present is the order now sent out by the managers of the company houses who Insist that their tenants pay the prescribed $15 a month rent for four rooms. In one1 of the groups yesterday the foreigners told the story how Alex Brehan was put on the street from company house No. 59 last Saturday for not paying his rent. The collector made the rounds yesterday urging the people to have their rents ready by the 25th of this month or they would be thrown out The cry goes up in Hammond that some of these foreigners keep board ers and yet apply to the commisary for help This is what Paralavich in company house No. 5 is doing. He is feeding his twenty boarders every day with out getting a cent of money from them Although foreigners and ignorant they are honest and there is not one of the dealers or boarding-house bosses that des not feel that in better times all honest debts will be repaid. But there Is a limit even to the boarding house bosses where they can't continue to give more food, much as they would like to. Dr. Rels Talkn Dr. Herman Relss, who is located in the settlement with his eon Oscar, is probably better acquainted with the conditions there than any other man in Hammond "Just because there is one of scala wag among ten foreigners, that is no reason why the other nine should starve," said Dr. Relss. "I heartily en dorse the plan advanced by several Hammond business and professional men regarding the gardening for the foreigners. Right here I want to say a word of commendation in regard to Chief Rimbach and his force and Trus tee bchaaf. ln all my travels I have never met a better man than Chief Rimbach. He understands people and he is eminently fair. ,He is a prince We are surely much indebted to Mr. bchaaf for his work for us. I have been in Chicago for many years and

Hyomel Given Relief ln Ten Minutes Cures Over Xight. Everybody knows, or ought to know, that Hyomel Is recognized among scien tists as the specific for Catarrh, Asthma, Bronchitis and Hay Fever, but there are a great many people who do not know that Hyomel will cure a cough or a cold in less than twenty-four hours.

We find that it gives quick relief in cases of catarrh." TEAMSTERS IN MEETING Working Contract to be Considered by Gary Union. Representatives of the, Gary Team Owners' association and members of the teamsters' union held a meeting yesterday afternoon in the Gary hotel for the purpose of considering the working contract for the ensuing j'ear as proposed by the teamsters.

After some discussion the owners finally agreed to pay $2.25, saying that this would be their limit. The drivers, however, insisted on $2.25 and the meeting was adjourned until next Thursday for a final debate.

GOillfMS CRITICAL Gary Man Lying in Hospital Dying as Result of Shooting. For a time last night it appeared that the Lake county authorities might have another Gary murder case to deal with. Joe Kaminskl, who was severely beaten by Joseph Skransca after he had accidentally shot Skransca's daughter, yesterday lay in Mercy hospital in Gary at the point of death. It will be remembered that after Kaminskl had shot the little Skransca girl he was arrested and taken to the police station to await an Investigation of the shooting. The police found that the child had been shot accidentally while Kaminskl was cleaning his revolver and they released him. The young man had no sooner returned to his boarding house than Skransca jumped on to him and beat him over the head with an iron bar. The skull was fractured and the victim of the assault was taken to the Mercy hospital in Gary, Here he has been lying ever since. Yesterday he took a turn for the worse and it was feared he would die. His assailant, Joseph Skransca, was again arrested, although he had been released on bond, and will be held until Kaminskl either dies or takes a turn for the better. Yesterday the patient was operated on and It was found that a piece of bone was pressing on the brain. This was lifted up and the pressure relieved. The condition of the Injured man is said to be serious and Drs. C. XV. Parckard and H. M. Hosmer, who are attending the patient, fear for his recovery. Late this afternoon the report was sent out from the hospital that the condition of the patient had im. proved. BAPTIST MINISTER AT HARBOR RESIGNS Indiana Harbor, April 14. (Special.) The Rev. C. A.
