THE TIMES.

Day's Grist in SoutM Chicago VANDALISM IS BOKN IN BOYS, SAYS EDUCATOR. "No .Person 'la- Safe From American Youth," He Write Auto Club. "Vandalism is innate in the American youth." hls assertion was made toy President Schneider of the Chicago board of education yesterday in a letter to Sidney S. Gorham, secretary of the Chicago Automobile club. The latter had made a complaint to President Schneider concerning schol boys who are said to throw stones, sticks, vegetables, tin. cans and bottles at automobiles. Mr, Schneider wrote in reply: "I fully appreciate the contents of your favor of May 18 and regret very much that the vandalism exists to that extent that a person is not safe at any time from an American youth." HORSE BELONGING TO THOS. BERGER IS STOLEN. Animal la Iead Prom Pastures Monday Evening' Between Honrs of 5 and 8 p. m. The police of the East Side and South Chicago stations have been asked to be on the lookout for a horse that was stolen yesterday afternoon or evening from a pasture at One Hundred street and Commercial avenue. The animal, which is owned by Thomas Berger, is described as being 16 years old, 17 hands high, bay color, white nose and both hind feet are white. The animal must have been stolen between the hours of 5 and 8 in the evening, as it was seen grazing in the pasture at 5 o'clock and at 8 o'clock had disappeared. - This is the first case of horse stealing, to, come under the eyea of the police for some time, and if the thief 13 caught it will go hard with him, is the belief of the police, knowing as they do the manner in which Judge Petit deals wit hthe criminals. BUM MAKES A HIT WITH COPS. George Jack's Face Proves Enough for Pine Feed. Good With his eyes sunken In and barely able to stand from long expose, a man giving hl3 name as George Jack "blew" Into the East Side police station yester- ' day afternoon and asked for a few cents to get a meal. The man's frank way of asking the police officers of the law seemed to ! make a hif with them and he was taken ' to a nearby restaurant where he was 'given a good feed. The man said that lhe had bummed his way from San Francisco and was bound for his home in the east. Jack said that he had been without any food for the last two days and was on the verge of starvation. After being given a good meal, the man was sent on his way and left South Chicago with a warm spot in his heart 4 for the police of South Chicago, who he .said, were the kindest Individuals he had met on his travels over the road.

12 years, who was taken in upon the complaint of Mrs. Andrew Johnson, who runs a grocery store at Ninety-eighth street and Cottage Grove avenue. Mrs. Johnson alleges that the young boy entered her place of business and asked for a gallon of oil. While she went Into the back room to draw the oil and during her absence from the

front of the store, the boy went behind the counter and stole $1.50 that was re posing In the cash drawer. 5 At the time of the McCarthy boy's arrest he had several bills of large denominations upon his person and this leads the police to believe that Mrs. Johnson Is right In her deductions. Young McCarthy was taken down town before Judge Tuthill. the juvenile judge, who wil try and get a confession out of the boy. The McCarthys are well known and are respectable people. The mother is prostrated with grief over the affair. Sam Winters' New Job.

A notable discovery, and one that appeals especially to many people in Hammond, is the combination of stomach help in the Mi-o-na treatment. This preparation works wonders in cases of indigestion or weak stomach. It acts directly upo nthe walls of the stomach and bowels, strengthening and stimulating them so that they readily take care of the food that is eaten without distres or suffering. So positive are the good effects following the use of Mi-o-na that the remedy is sold by Summers' Pharmacy under an absolute guarantee to refund the money If it falls to cure. A 50-cent box of Mi-o-na will do the good the stomach needs, which is simply to make it do its own work.

MEASLES EPEDEMIG 111 EIGHTH WARD

East Side and South Deering Are Visited by Child Malady. BROWN DPS TOO ABE ILL Homer Eeodj. Who Congratulated Himself for Years for Having Escaped, Is Sick Patient. The East Side and South Deering are in the throes of an epidemic of the measles and during the last ten days over twenty cases have been reported at the East Side station. Not since the epidemic of 1895 have there been so many cases to come under the notice of the health department. A large number of cases are not reported to the police and with this number added it would probably swell the total near the fifty mark. Following Is a list of the latest victims of the disease: Charles Janette, 10822 Hoxie avenue, two children sick. H. P. Olson, 972 One Hundred and Ninth street, baby sick. Homer Reody, 10534 Hoxie avenue, 42 years old; was taken down yesterday and is In a serious condition, Frank Reid, 10748 Hoxie avenue, four year old child In serious condition. "Walter Kobczak, 10727 Hoxie avenue, three young children down with the disease; one may die. H. Heclan, 10742 Hoxie avenue, ten year old girl just recovering after a four weeks' siege with the disease. Albert Schonig, 10520 Torrenee avenue, little boy ten years old in serious condition. F. Weacterhon, 10014 Hoxie avenue, seven year old daughter ill. Oscar Pappel, 10614 Calhoun avenue, four little children confined to beds with the disease; the children's ages range from six to twelve. Michael Lokovicli, 10934 Calhoun avenue, 11 year old son been sick with the measles for two months; Just recovering and the physician in charge believes that it will leave his eyesight In a bad condition, aa the youngster is hardly able to see today. This is probably the worst of any of the cases, as it threatens to leave the boy blind. During the year of 1S95 the residents of the East Side and South Deer ing were the victims of an epidemic of measles and not since then has there been such an abundance of the disease as there is at the present time. Probably Homer Reody, 10534 Hoxie avenue, has suffered more than any of the rest, owing to his age, which is 42. Reody has always congratulated himself that he had escaped the measles and whooping cough, but now he has the measles and is not saying a word. So far only five cases have come under the notice of the South Chicago police. MEETING OF COTTON MEN. Richmond, Va, May 20.

MICHIGAN DIVIDED ON BBYAN.

Lansing, Mich., May 20. When the democratic state convention was called to order here today to name the dele-gates-at-large to the national convention, two presidential electors and a new chairman of the state central committee, there was a lively contest in prospect. In no other section of the country, outside of Minnesota, have the Johnson supporters been working more assiduously or with beter hope of success. On the eve of the convention they claimed a clear majority of the delegates. The Bryan element, on the other hand, declares its confidence in the result. But it Is evident that if they succeed In getting through Bryan Instructions It will be by a very close margin. The Bryan-Johnson aligment of delegates Is also observed in the fight that is being made against the reelection of Daniel J. Campau as the democratic national committeeman from Michigan. TYPOS ELECT OFFICERS. Indianapolis, Ind., May 20. Throughout the United States and Canada the local organizations of the International Typographical union re today balloting for the choice of international officers. The election Is held once in every two years. When the votes have been counted the final result will be announced from the general offices in this city. James M. Lynch, of Syracuse, who has been president of the International for a number of years, is a candidate for re-election. The opposing candidate is Henry S. Hudspeth, of New Orleans. John W. Hayes, first vice president, is opposed by W. N. P. Reed of New York, and SecretaryTreasurer J. W. Bramwood is opposed by Thomas P. Crowley of Cincinnati. The successful administration of President Lynch and the other chief officers of the organization la believed to insure their re-election. LAKE M0H0NK CONFERENCE. Lake Mohonk. N. Y., May 20.
