i DEL1HQUENTS HERE Truant Officers Praise the South Chicago and East Side Schools.

A corps of truant officers from the down town compulsory education office Invaded South Chicago and the East Side yesterday, visiting the different schools cn the lookout for truants. The East Side, which formerly has been the best stamping grounds for the delinquents, was visited by three of the officers, but not a case of actual truancy was found. Several children were absent but they were at home sick. In speaking of their visit. Phil Hilbricht, one of the officers, said: "It is our intention during the remainder of the school year to rigidly enforce the compulsory education law and par ents who allow their children to stay away from school without a plausible excuse, such as sickness, or where the child is old enough to do work around the house In case of the mother's or father's sickness, the father will be subject to a fine of not less than $5 and not more than 20 for the first offense. This amount will be doubled on the second occurrence. "Taking a conservative view of the situation through the South Chicago schools, I would say that we do not expect to experience much difficulty with the children, owing to the man ner in which the South End Center is looking after the absentees." After a tour of all of the local schools the officers returned to their down town office, where it is expected they will make good reports on the local schools.

ABOUT ADVERTISING No. 11.

IF IT FITS YOU WEAR THIS CAP. (By HERBERT KAUFBIAX.) Advertising Isn't a crucible with which lazy, bigoted and incapable merchants can turn Incompetency Into success but one into which brains and tenacity and courage can be poured and changed Into dollars. It Is not a short cut across the field not a moving platform. You can't "get there" without "going some." It's a game in which the worker not the shirker gets rich. By its measurement every man stands for what he Is and for what he does, not for what he was and what he did. Every day in the advertising world Is another day and has to be taken care of with the same energy as its yesterday. The quitter can't survive where the plngger has the ghost of a chance. Advertising doesn't take the place of business talent or business management. It simply tells what the business Is and how it is managed. The snob whose father created and who is content to live on what was handed to him can't stand up against the man who knows he inufct build for himself. What makes you think that you are entitled to prosper as well as a competitor who works twice as hard for his prosperity? Why should as many people come to your store as patronize a shop that makes an endeavor to gret their trade and shows them that it is worth while to come to its doors? Why should a newspaper send as many customers to you In half the time it took to fill an establishment which advertised twice as long and paid twice as much for its publicity? This is the day when the best man wins after he proves that he is the best man when the best store wins, when the best goods win, after they've been demonstrated to be the best goods. If you want the plum you can't get it by lying under the tree with your mouth open waiting for it to drop too many other men are willing to climb out on the limb and risk their necks in their eagerness to get it away from you. It is a man's game this advertising Just hanging on and tugging and straining all the time to get and keep ahead. It Is the finite expression of the law of competition which sits in blind-folded Justice over the markets of the world. (Copyright. 1908, by Tribune Company, Chicago.)

Maxieski's Throw Luck" Produces Monster Catch. For a One of the largest sturgeons caught In the Calumet district, ever was landed Sunday by John Maxleskl, 10813 Green Bay avenue. South Chicago, and was on display in Samuel Winters store on the East Side Monday and Tuesday. The fish measured five feet and one inch from head to tail and weighed forty-five pounds. Sunday afternoon Maxieskl, In com pany with his son, John Jr., took their boat and rowed out into the lake where thev cast their hooks for the finny tribe. After about two hours work they succeeded In catching about twenty small fish and were about to go home when John sr., told his son he was going to throw in once more for luck. Hardly had the hook struck the water, when there was a strong tugging at his line and as he went to pull up, he thought the line would surely break. After using the true fisherman's art In pulling in, he finally drew the huge sturgeon to the side of the boat, where the father and son got It on board the boat. This is the first 6turgeon that has been caught In Lake Michigan for some time and It is regarded as quite a novelty. During the time the fish was on exhibition on the East Side it was the center of attraction at the Winters store. X 4

AVant Immediate Action. Alderman Lewis and Alderman Wal ton on the other hand were unfavorable to any further delay and wanted immediate action.

In the cab of the engine was Traveling Engineer Hahn who saw the man walking on the track toward the fast train and expected him to leave the track.

Horror was evidenced in the eyes of the, head that lay trunkless beside the track. . Had Gary Business Card. - The man killed bore three cards of the Peerless buffet, which is located between Ninth and Tenth avenues on Broadway, the proprietor of which is John F. Sullivan.

He weighed between 125 and 140 pounds, and was neatly dressed in cheap clothing. His trousers were of gray, coat and vest black, and he wore a brown derby hat.

MURDERER OH WAT 10 Damaging Stories to Lowell Man's Eeputation Are Told. WILL FACE MURDER CHARGE Wife and Family Are BrokenHearted Over "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" Life. Lowell, May 6th. (Special) Within twelve hours of his arrest here- yesterday morning, Ernest Kearns, alias Albert Baker, alias George Dennis, was on his way to Ohio to face an indictment for murder in the second degree. Sitting beside him in the train were H. W. Schlick. sheriff of Pickaway county, Ohio, and IL S. Sheets, chief of police of Clrclevllle, a city of Pickaway county. They were the officers who have been seeking Kearns ever since that fatal picnic day in Clrcleville, three years ago, when Kearns Is alleged to have thrown a brick at another man and killed him, and believing now that they have finally captured their man they guard him like two hawks. The two Ohio officials who were in Lowell yesterday said that they knew with what sort of a character they were dealing since they had dealings with the prisoner before. In his home town. they said, that his reputation was bad so much so, that he had been in the toils several times and several of his escapades are being unearthed In Lowell now. He is thought to have been connected with several petty robberies there and It now leaks out that several times when he was under the Influence of liquor that he dropped remarks about his past which savored of something mysterious. When Kearns was ap proached yesterday morning and asked whether be was the man whom the Ohio authorities were seeking he stren uously protested his Innocence. Sheriff Schlick then drew from his pocket a photograph of Kearns and asked him whether that was not his own picture. Kearns' voice faltered and finally admitted that it was a pic ture of him. He was immediately placed under arrest and marched to his home where he told his young wife who was holding a three-weeks-old babe in arms, the awful news. "My baby's father a murderer?" moaned the wretched woman torn with love and doubt. It was a trying moment for the officers who had witnessed many dramatic scenes but none as heartrend ing as this one. The man now a pris oner was permitted to stay in his home a short time after which he was hustled into an automobile and hurried to Crown Point, from where he was taken into Ohio yesterday. So sure were the Ohio officials of their man that they had already procured requisition papers. Kearns will be tried during the next term of court in the Pickaway county court. The Ohio officials say that they got a line on their man through a letter that he wrote to his former home from Lowell. COKE FIEND VISITS 5 Makes an Effort to Purchase Drug at Martin's Pharmacy. An effort was made in South Chicago yessterday afternoon by a coke fiend to purchase the drug in Martin's drug store, corner of Ninety-second street and Commercial avenue. About 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon a poorly dressed man stepped off a car bound for Hammond and going into the Martin store, asked one of the clerks Walter H. Wyszynski, for $2 worth of the drug. The clerk flatly refused to sell the dope, and with a muttered oath the fellow left the store. Upon injuiry at the other drug stores they stated that one had, to their knowledge, asked to purchase the drug that day. The man who tried to buy the dope at the Martin store, was about five feet, seven inches, weight, 140 pounds and was dark cdmplexloned. His eyes were sunken, and according td Mr. Wyszynski he looked the part of a habitual dope fiend. Law is Very Strict. The Illinois law regarding the sale of cocaine is very strict and the clerks of the different local druggists, have been cautioned In regard to selling the drug only when under a physician's orders. The man yesterday looked to be past all hope of ever breaking away from the habit. In an interview yesterday with the heads of the local drug firms, they stated that very little of the drug. In their opinion, was sold In South Chicago and when it was sold it was only under orders from a physician and the purchaser must either bring the physician with him or a prescription and they If it looks doubtful they always
