REGULAR SCHEDULE SATURDAY

CHICAGO COUPLE MARRIED AT INDIANA HARBOR.

Owen Kaiey and Caroline DeWlne Were Married This Morning. Indiana Harbor, Aug 5. (Special Owen Kazey and Miss Caroline DeWine, both of Chicago, were married this morning at the parish house of St. Patrick's by Rev. Thas. Mungovan. The ceremony took place at 9:30 and the happy couple returned to Chicago Immediately after the ceremony.

New Cars Are the Embodiment of Luxury As Good as a Pullman and Cost as Much.

The Chicago. Lake Shore & South Bend interurban is now in partial operation between Hammond and Gary. Beginning at 5:33 in the morning, four cars leave Hammond for Gary at intervals of half an hour each. In the evening four cars also leave Gary for Hammond, beginning at 5:03 and leaving at intervals of half an hour. The fare from Gary to Hammond will be ten cents, and from Gary to Pullman, where the trains will have their terminal for the present, will be twenty cents. It is expected that the regular schedule from Gary to Hammond will be put in force Saturday, according to the train dispatcher. The cars will

then leave each way every half hour. It is expected that the Kensington & Eastern will have their division of the line completed in two weeks so that entrance into Chicago can be gained. Steam lined Temporarily. At the present time the cars are being run between Gary and Harbor Junction by steam. They are met at this place by the old Indiana Harbor cars, which take the passengers through to Hammond by electricity. Theh new cars are the embodiment of luxury and comfort. They are 57 feet and 6 inches in length, within six inches as Hvlde as the modern Pullman passenger coach, and contain smoking apartments. The seats are finely upholstered with leather, the fixtures and interior decorations are of the finest that can be found in any modern passenger coach. The cars are marked, "Chicago, Hammond, Gary, Michigan City and South Bend." rather than the name of the road, the Chicago, Lake Shore & South Bend.

FIREY SUN BURNS PARCHED GROUND. (Continued from page 1.)

lands the crops are good. The pasture is good yet, but it is drying out rapidly. There will be an average yield of corn and oats, and on our fields, which are heavily fertilized, the yield will be exceptional. The hay crop is good everywhere. There is not as much fruit as we expected, although we have enough for our own uses.

A. C. REISER, Llbby, McNeil & Ubby, Highlands, Ind. We are looking forward to a good year, although we ought to have rain right away. We buy cucumbers, onions, tomatoes and

cabbage from the farmers and keep pretty close to the crop situation. The onions are being brought in and are in good condition. The tomatoes are beginning to ripen and are in good condition. The crop, which is endangered by the drought, is the cabbage. They will not be matured for some time and if we do not get rain they will be spoiled. The condition here is rather serious and we are all praying for rain.

ANDREW A. WELTER, Wicker Farm, Ridge Road. The cabbage crop seems to be suffering most from the heat and the Jack of rain. The potatoes and onions are doing fairly well and will be saved if we get rain within a week or ten days. There is not much left of the pasture and the fields are becoming parched with the heat. We have a little corn planted in the bottom and that Is doing fairly well.

South Bend, Ind. An sr. 5. The longcontinued drought, combined with the prevailing intense heat, than which there has been no more excessive since 1901, is proving costly to farmers, whose crops are being damaged. It is reported today that much of the corn on sandy lands, and" particularly along the river, north of the city, is now past saving from its backed condition. On the heavier clay lands the corn is still holding out, but without a letup in the heat it will likely suffer the same fate. Potatoes are similarly affested, and farmers can only stand and see the promised bounteous yield go to waste.

Shoals, Ind., Auk. 5. Owing to. the continued drought special mass was celebrated in the Catholic charches in the western part of the county Sunday, in an effort to bring rain. River valley corn looks fine, but ovflng to

the dry weather, the tassels have not matured and there are no grains on the cobs. There is considerable ridge corn, which will be of some value with rain not long delayed and a late forst. The ground Is so dry and hard that there will be delay in preparing the soil for wheat this fall. Taken all in all, it Is the worst drought this section of the state experienced. Moorcsvtlle, Ind., Aug. 5. The drought in this section is becoming alarming, and there will practically be no corn crop. Much of it has not had a rain Bince it was planted. Pastures are dry enough to burn, and many farmers are compelled to drive their live stock to the creeks for water.

SULTAN IS STABBED

London, England, An. 5. A dispatch dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph company from Geneva, Swltserland, says: "The sultan of Turkey was stabbed In the breast on Monday night by a minor palace official. "The cost of mall which the sultan always wears deflected the blow. "The would-be assassin was arrested. HAD HIS BAGGAGE PACKED. "Apparently he had been bribed to commit the act, as he had a large sum of gold in his pockets, and his baggage was packed ready for flight.
