County Seat. School Will Inugurate

a System of Training in the Near Future. Crown Pointy Ind., May 26. Special.) The work of tho Hammond high school squad at tho county meet was something of a surprise to our local athletes and shows the vafue of con sistent train and coaching, which that team haa undergone. Praise Local Athletes. As a whole they are probably the finest bunch of athletes that ever par ticipated in a county meet, and Crown Point men have no excuses to offer, except the inability of one or two of their best men on account of their studies. With these men in the con test the result would have been appre ciably different. Young's Fine Work. The work of Young was fine and with one or two more like him, Crown Point would have carried off first hon ors. Meanwhile, the boys give all the credit to the Hammond team that is due them for their excellent showing, but promise to make things exciting for them next year, when a regular system of coaching and training will be inaugurated and a spirit of en thusiasm be instilled into the athletes which has been noticeably lacking this year. . . ..

" " r 'i. V " ' l - t ov ; j: -1'"'V' If - "WE DON'T WANT SUFFRAGE "

New York, May 25. (Special) "Women of America, your attention, please. Don't be deluded into believing you should be allowed to vote..

Equal suffrage leads to an unseen peril." This Is the battle cry of an association of prominent women that comes upon the field to fight the woman suffrage movement.

It is the League of the Civic Education of Women, and Is affllated ; with another bigger organization having a similar object, the New York State Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage. ' The members of these organizations are the wives and daughters of some of the most . prominent men in New York. They are avowed enemies of woman suffrage. Their reason for organizing is to beat the suffragists to the average "silent" woman, who has not yet made up her mind whether it would be a good thing to be allowed access to the ballot box. An active campaign for 1908 and 1909 was mapped out at a meeting at which Mrs. Richard Watson Gilder was elected president of the league and Miss Eleanor Hewitt, Mrs. William Putnam and Mrs. Samuel Utenmyer, vice presidents. There will be two courses of anti-suffrage lectures for women. one at Berkeley Lyceum and another at Cooper Union. Two members of the cabinet of President Roosevelt, a number of United States senators and members of the federal and state Judiciary will be among the lecturers. '

MARSHALL WILL FIRE FIRST GUN. (Continued from page one.) for congress and an independent wing of the party there has not yet become reconciled with the republican party for nominating Watson for governor. There is no doubt but that Marshall hopes and expects to cut In on Watson and obtain considerable support from Watson's near enemies in the insurgent cities of the "old burnt" district Democrats Busy. The democrats of both the Fifth and the Thirteenth districts will nominate candidates - for congress this week. Ralph Moss of Brazil, former state senator, looks like a winner in the Fifth. He Is a farmer and has an enviable record in; the legislature. Another aspirant is James P. Voorhees of Greencastle, a son of the late Senator D. W. Voorhees. Reports are not so clean-cut in regard to the prospective nominee' in the Thirteenth. Some . say Benjamin F. Shively of South Bend, and others say Henry Barnhardt of Rochester. The democrats of the Thirteenth think they have a chance to carry the district this time if they will get together and nominate the right kind of a candidate. They think that the republicans will become divided as a result of a factional fight they see pending between the suporters of Charles W. Miller, Goshen, and John Moorman. Knox, for the congressional nomination to succeed the late Congressman Brick. St. Joe WIU Split. Miller, with his own county, St. Joseph, and Elkhart at his back could walk away with the nomination but it is thought that St. Joe will split, thereby giving Moorman a good chance to slip in. The election of A. G. Grahams of South Bend, to the district chalrmanShiD to succeed Moorman, who resigned that he might seek the congressional I nomination is regarded here as a Moor- .... a man victory. Graham win De iouna with the Knox man, It is said, and former suporters of Miller will Join with Graham in getting delegates in St. Joseph county for Moorman. The Thirteenth is one of the few districts not having their candidates for congress named. It had renominated Congressman Brick and his death caused a new convention to be held. The other districts yet to name their republican candidates for congress are the Third and the Fourth, both of which are democratic. The nominees by districts are as follows: First, John H. Foster. Evansville; Second. John C.

EASY TO CURE CATARRH.Just Breathe In Hyomel, the Dry Air That Kills the Germs. You can do exactly what G. J. Stefers did by using Hyomel. Read this: "After having suffered from chronic catarrh for years, for which I tried various remedies without success, I became almost discouraged. After reading about Hyomel, I decided to make one more effort .to rid myself of the dread disease, and to my great delight I found the use of two bottles of the Inhalent sufficient to produce a complete cure. Now take pleasure in recommending this remedy to all suffers from catarrh." G. J. Sterers, Crown City, O. We don't simply say Hyomel will cure catarrh, but we say that Summers' pharmacy guarantees it to cure catarrh, or money back. He does more he guarantees it to cure asthma, bronchitis, hay fever, coughs and colds. A complete Hyomel outfit, including Inhaler, costs only $1,00, and extra bottles, if you afterwards need one, will cost but 50 cents. Hyomel is a pleasant dry air treatment. Tou Just breathe It In, and as it passes over the inflamed membrane, it kills the germs ot catarrh, and allays all inflammation. THINKS HE WORKED 'Ell Gary Man Gives $50 Reward and Then Gets His Mules Back. bome one telephoned to the police station at Gary yesterday and said that he would tell Mr. Nichols where he could find his two mules if there was a $50 reward in it for him. The man on the phone was asked to talk to Nichols himself. He did so and the reward was promised. The' mules were located in a pasture out in the country near Gary and were recovered. The reward was paid and the police are now of the opinion that the whole affair, including the disappearance of the mules, was a ruse on the part of the man who worked it to collect a reward.

"You wanted me as a witness in the case of Mike Kerlc, whom I arrested yesterday." The Judge nodded and took, his seat behind his desk.

Hum," said he, as he put his hand over his mouth to conceal a smile and then glanced fruitively at the faces around the room to assuer himself that smiles were covering them all. Mike was asked what led to his arrest and informed the pudge that ha had been quarreling and had made so much noise that the policeman had come along and arrested him. As the qviarrel occurred on Sunday and there had been an undue disturbance, the officer charged his prisoner with desecrating the Sabbath. Six Days Shalt Thou Work. "You are chargedwith a serious offense," said Judge Huber, and then he went on to quote, "Six days shalt thou do all thy labor but the seventh is the Lord's day," etc., etc. Mike seemed impressed with the sermon. He looked shame-faced and pleaded guilty. "I hope this will be a lesson to you, and to impress on your mind the necessity of a more careful observance of the Lord's day, I fine you $1 and costs, amounting to $11.90." Mike' paid his fine cheerfully, indicating that his conscience had been cleared. When he and the officer had left the court room, the loafers put their feet back on the Judge's desk, one of them lighted a pipe and another settled further down in his chair. "Go on with that Sunday fishing story" said they in- unison. Milk in English Hospitals. The crying need of the infant for clean milk is realized by all who have to deal with infantile ailments. Yet even our children's hospitals are by no means perfect in the steps they take to insure such a supply. London Hospital. .
