Others Call Htm Kidnaper, However, snd Ho Will lie Ilrouirht Here. Veronica Cassidy, 12 years old, 184 Peoria street, who recently was kidnaped and taken to Cincinnati by a man giving the name of Blair went to Milwaukee yesterday with the police where a suspect had been taken Into custody, but after looking at the man for several minutes the child failed to identify him as the one who abducted her, saying Mr. Blair had a nice mustache, while this man had none. Veronica's mother and several neighbors who had sen Blair, asserted, however, that when they saw him he was smooth shaven. Because of this difference of opinion the suspect will be brought to Chicago where efforts will be made to positively identify him as the kidnaper. Real Estate Transfers. HYDE PARK.

Johnson, a switchman living at 9123 Erie avenue, aged 42, was seriously Injured yesterday on the Baltimore & Ohio tracks. Jo'nnson was standing on a switch engine and while making a acoupling on a car was struck by the lever on the coupling. He fell to the tracks and would have met his death but for the engineer putting on the air which brought the freight to . a stop. Johnson was picked up unconscious and workmen carried him to the freight station. He was later taken to the South Chicago hospital, where it Is said he will recover, although he has a bad bruise near the groins. His Injuries are internal. Asked To Be On Lookout. The police of South Chicago have been asked to be on the lookout for four Green Bay (Wis.) elopers, who are supposed to be headed for Chicago. A telegram was receive! in Chicago that Miss Lillian Osmund, 18 years old, and Miss Lillian De Quine, 16 years old, the daughters of wealthy farmers, living in that town, had run away. The telegram did not state who the young men were ,but it is known that they had been paying attention to the two girls for some time. Proves Popular Cars, Today fifty pay-as-you-enter cars were put on the Sixty-third street line of the Chicago City railway. It was necessary for the officials to take a few of them off the State street run and put them on the Sixty-third street run, as this run does more business than the State street run. The cars proved more popular than it was first thought and no accidents were reported. Department Called Out. The fire department was called out early this morning to the Baltimore & Ohio tracks at Eighty-third street and Manistee avenue, where several freight cars were on Are. The cars were empty and were thought to be set on Are by tramps, as several were chased last night from the cars by detectives of the road. One car was totally destroyed and two others badly damaged. Hodek Is Released. John Hodek, who was arrested in Kensington as a suspect in the slugging case of Wert Speyer, 432 West One Hundred and Tenth street, was 'released late yesterday afternoon, noFOR SALE A modern 8 room residence, 7241 Yates avenue; steam heat, electric light, gas, gas mantle, and sideboard.

body being able to identify him as the man who helped in the assault. Speyer is still in the hospital suffering from the effects sustained when he was shot in the lung because, the police assert, he refused to join the milk drivers' union.

- Building Permits. Many new buildings are to be built in South Chicago and surrounding district in the near future. An unusually large number of building permits have been granted in the building department during the past week. Among those of importance which were granted today are: 7250-52 Yale ave., 3 story brick apartments, A. Dorschler $10,000 5552 Wabash ave., 2 story brick fiats, A.

The women fought yesterday. Both suffered considerable bruises and also some hair in the encounter. The case was continued until Sept. 23. Enters a Strong Team. Mr. Simms, the new director of the Bessemer park gymnasium, has this afternoon entered a strong team In the Ogden open park meet of the South Park commissioners. Simms has had a hard time rounding up the team and is looking forward to have them make a good showing. I am willing to loose my little wad, that the Alma Maters trim up the Hurrays tomorrow, said a South Chi cago fan today. They sure have made a fine showing this year, only having lost one game. Ex-Alderman John Derpa now has ; reputation of being quite an artist Derna this week dnrlne- bis Knnre mln utes treated his store on Commercial avenue, to a coat of white paint. "N use talking," said Derpa, "I have go to be busy all the time." Its not a bad idea to jump into Lake Michigan just as long as you don't wear too tight a bathing suit and don"t stay in too long. The old Brand stan1 at nno.t ; famous Roby racing course, is no more to be seen. Neither is the money that used to be wagered there. The South Cldcago City Railway Company have placed a man at the Ninety-second street bridge to keep tab on how long their cars are delayed by the swinging of the bridge. If they would station a tabulator at all other places where their cars are delayed, they would employ quite a force. One of the "Red Line Go-as-You-Please" cars, shied yesterday and went off the track. Wasn't any Merry Widow hat either, just ran over a toothpick. No, Archibald, we don't see any pay-as-you-enter cars bowling down Commercial avenue as yet. South Chicago' school ma'ams are getting back from their vacations and the small boy who knows his days are numbered. Is working over time.. Mad dog stories about South Chicago are getting to be so numerous that the newspapers have to put a soft pedal on many of them. Balloons are seen flying around South Chicago so often and are getting so common that people will be asking for one for a Christmas present. "Bulls' Eye" John Callahan, of the South Chicago police station, is still wearing that smile around the station. Callahan's right hand is sore from shaking hands so many times has he been congratulated on his fine show he made at Camp Logan. The article in yesterday's Times on the discussion of the business men in regards to the one fare rate on the street cars to Chicago has caused much comment ond discussion among other South Chicago business men. Hetty Green now wants to get into Chicago society. She might get her start down in Irondale. Man nearly fainted on Ninety-first street today A woman got off a street car, and her skirt caught on the step, making a beautiful sheath skirt effect. HERE AND THERE.

People on the street in the neighborhood of Ninety-second street and Houston avenue turned their faces away in horror last night when they saw a young man who was trying to board a South Chicago car, fall on the track in front of the rapidly moving car. The young man was Edward Hoefer, 246 East Sixty-fourth street. Hoefer attempted to board a westbound car on Ninety-second street before It reached its stopping place at the corner. He caught hold of the front end of the car and, missing his hold, fell to the tracks below. Luckily, he caught hold of the fender and, pushing himself from under the wheels of the car he saved himself from instant death. The wheels of the car grazed Hoffman's side, inflicting deep cuts and bruises and his coat was torn to shreds. He was picked up unconscious and bleeding from the tracks and Dr. Wughtsman of 9129 Commercial 'avenue was called and he attended Hoefer's Injuries. He was later taken to his home after he had sufficiently recovered. Stimulants Used by Men of Genius. Socrates, Plato and Horance drank wine freely; Fielding, Sterne and Steel sat too long over their cups, and Byron sought inspiration in Holland gin. Burns was a tippler, Shelley drank heavily and Keats, stung by the criticism of his foes, turned for relief to dissipation. Our own greatest poet, Edgar t Allan Poe, though greatly maligned in this regard, found inspiration for some of his gloomiest and wildest poetry and prose when under the influence of burgundy. Voltaire in his old age drank fifty cups of coffee a day, and Balzac depended upon the beverage to sustain him during his hours of toil. Johnson was excessively fond of tea. Hazlett, the writer and critic, consumed of tea about a pound a week. It is said to have hastened his death. From the Law of Mohammed. "Whole hog or none" refers to Mohammed allowing his followers to eat all except one portion of a pig, but failing to mention what the portion was, so that if a Mohammedan did not leave pork strictly alone, he might as well consume the whole hog as risk eating part of IL

NEGLECTED BRIDGE

HJURES EAST SIDE No Attempt Made to Repair One Hundred and Sixth Street Structure. FIRE DEPARTMENTS CUT OFF East Side Company in Stalled and Big Elevator Is Threatened With Destruction. Up to the present time no attempt has been made to repair the bridge over the Calumet river -at One Hundreth and Sixth street and the people who work in South Deering and live on the East Side have to go over the Ninety-fifth street bridge of which is almost two miles out of their way. The bridge has been out of commis sion for over a week, and the East Side fire department and police patrol have to travel over the Ninety-fifth street structure to get to South Chicago. Last Saturday a fire originated In the boiler room of the Irondale elevator, One Hundred and Sixth street and the Cal umet river and the East Side fire department was called out to extinguish the flames. They started to go across the One Hundred and Sixth street bridge but found it turned, out of commission, they at once turned around and made for the Ninety-fifth street bridge, by that time the fire had gained a good headway and the South Chicago department had to be called out. They extinguished the flames before the East Side department could get to the rescue. Knxt Side Cut Off. If the South Chicago department had not been called out the entire elevator, the largest in South Chicago, would have undoubtedly gone up in smoke. Street cars have not crossed the structure in a month because of the dilapitated condition of the bridge. The bridge was turned to let a huge grain boat pass when it was put out of commission. Last year the Gillchrist, a large grain boat, hit this bridge setting it over on one side and tearing a large sized hole in the hold ot the boat, leaving many bushels of wheat into the river. Residents in Irondale and East Side are up in arms against the condition that exist at the present time and wonder how long they are to wait for its repair. RECORDS ARE ALL BROKEN. (Continued from pace 1), probably the best and hottest contested race of the day, Lady Alice, the Rochester horse, won the fifth heat by a nose from College Boy. Rensselaer Boy had this race packed away in his sulky, in the third heat, but owing to a foul on the home stretch the judges set the horse back, and awarded the positions as below. In the first heat a blanket could covered the four horses as they passed the wire and a prettier finish has not been seen on the track in years. The results of the race: Rensselaer Boy (Baker) 2, 1, 2, 6, Williard Griswold (Wilcox) 5, 5, 6. 5, Col'ege Bell (Phillips) 4, 2, 1, 2, 4. Lady Alice (Schaid) 1, 4, 3, 1, 1.

Track Record Shattered. In the special race, R. F. 1). with a mark of 2:05, easily beat the track rtcord of 2:134, held by Miss Belle Robertson, driving a pretty exhibition race against time and easily coming within the money by turning the mile In 2:08, and taking the purse of $50. It is said R. F. D. was at one time employed by Uncle Sam in delivering the mail, and so derived her name. Her first speed was shown at a gentleman's matinee race, and since that time she has climbed to the top and is now worth a mint of money to her owner. The foot race ror tne distance of a mile between Andrew Newman of Crown Point and Young Henderson of Hebron resulted in a victory for the Hebron boy, he winning In easy fashion in 4 minutes and 16 seconds, amid the cheers of his supporters. The free attractions afternoon and evening were fine and were greatly en Joyed by the crowd, being all and more than the management advertised. Success In Every Way. Summing up the 1908 Golden Jubilee fair was a success from every view point and the officials and management are deserving of unstinted praise for their efforts in engineering the big event. All they get out of It is glory and that generally is overshadowed by generous doses of cussing from the dis gruntled ones. Five or six, weary and tired officials of the association wended their way home last evening, vowing never to serve it that capacity again but they did the satisfaction of knowing that their efforts were responsible for the holding of the largest and most successful fair in the history of the Lake County Agricultural society which has held continuous yearly meet ings for fifty consecutive years and that their endeavors were duly appreciated by every visitor to the fair.

acted as cook for many years past was willing to remain, to care for their wants and keep the house from being turned into a stable, but she was given two months off with wages and told to make herself scarce. All went well at home and at the seashore lor a month. Then the time was ripe for something to happen, and : something did happen. The mother t met with a fall, Miss Betty lost the only young man worth flirting with, and the maid came so near being drowned in the surf that she threatened to quit her job unless the family retired to a safe distance from the raging sea. Miss Betty wrote her brother Will that they would arrive home on a cer tain date, and the date was put far enough ahead to enable the two campers to get the dishes washed up and their fish poles removed from the parlor. But what is the use of writing letters to a brother who doesn't go to the postofflce for mail? The letter ar rived all right, but was not called for. Then, on the afternoon or the even ing on which the family were to arrive home, Will had to go up to Brook lyn on pressing business. It was mid night before the young lady gave an answer to his pressing question, and it was two hours later before he dropped off a freight train at the country station half a mile from home. Archer was left to fish the time away, cook his own dinner and go to bed at any hour that suited his convenience. That hour was 9 o'clock, and he had sixty minutes to get to 6leep when the family arrived. No Will appeared at the depot to meet them, but fortunately they found a conveyance, and fortunately Miss Betty had carried her latchkey away with her and could now taake use of It. As the hour was late no time was wasted looking around just enough to be satisfied that brother Will wasn't in his bed and that it would take two robust women two weeks to put the house in Its former tidy shape. The arrivals had been abed for two hours when Archer woke up. He was dreaming that he had hooked a fish five feet long and was playing it, when he found himself sitting -up in bed with his eyes wde open. He felt that some noise had disturbed him. There had been a great deal of the "Raffies" business in the country. The chums had talked the matter over and decided what was to be done in case he Invaded the house under their guardianship. They were armed, and they were to do their best to kill or capture him. One chum and one revolver being ab sent on this occasion made a differ ence, but nevertheless the chum on the spot prepared to die for his host. Getting softly out of bed and partly dressing, he soon assured himself that Will had not yet returned. Just then he distinctly heard a noise in the lower part of the house the fall of something. Raffles had effected an entrance and blundered over a chair. The student of chemistry hesitated no longer, ne softly opened his door, and, with a lamp in one hand and a revolver in the other, he stepped out into the hall to descend the stairs. There had certainly been a noisetwo noises in fact. Mother and daughter occupied rooms at the front of the house. After sleeping for a couple of hours the mother had awakened in a , nervous condition and called her daughter. This was number one. J The daughter had answered, mixed . a sleeping draft and knocked the, bottle off the stand to the floor. This noise had brought young Archer from his room into the hall, and he was Just in time to encounter Miss Betty as she was returning to her own room. ' Of course she was startled. Of . course he was startled as well. They j were not ten feet apart, and as they stood there staring at each other she forgot that Will was to have his chum : with him, aud it went clean out of his head that Will had a mother and sister anywhere on earth. Some girls, under the circumstances, I might not have been the first to re- j cover their wits. Miss Betty was. She motioned the young man down the hall, and when he could back up no ' farther she advanced quite close to him and whispered: "Mother is very nervous, and If she i knew you were in the house the shock might kill her." "Y-e-s," replied Archer In some wonderment. "There Is some silver plate downstairs, but I'm afraid It's not very 5222 outh

He stood there, feeling and looking ! like a polite idiot for the next two ' minutes, and then Betty reappeared, held out the watches and rings on her i palm and whispered: "These are all. I have been very honest with you. We are not keen for jewelry. Now won't you please go?" "Will you tell me whom I'm speakmg to?" was asked as the girl continued to hold out her hand with her ear bent to hear if her mother was stirring. "I'm Miss Hardin." "Great Scotts!" with a gasp. "Then ' you must be Will's sister. Let me say to you that I am" "Hush! You are Raffles Mr. Raffles, of course. Please, please go away. I wish we had twice as much to be robbed of, but you will have to be satisfied. Here I'll put the things in your coat pocket. Now go on tiptoe. You may leave the lamp burning after you get through robbing downstairs, and I'll come down after it. Hush! Softlyr Young Archer wanted to stop and explain, but she laid one hand on his shoulder and urged him along, and the first thing he knew he was at the foot of the stairs and a white hand was being waved to him from the top. Where should he go? What should he do? There was an awful mistake, but how was it to be rectified? Will had said that he would be back on the 9 o'clock train, ne had missed it, but might be expected at any minute now. The first thought was to go outdoors and wait for him. The second was to turn out the lamp and Bit down in the library and wait for Will or daylight or something or somebody to come along and befriend him. This second decision was final. He stood in the hall, turned the light out, and somehow he felt that eyes were upon his movements. Ensconced in a big leather chair, he had passed away half an hour in calling himself names and hankering after his chum's scalp when he heard a faint rustle outside the window near which he sat He cocked hi3 ear toward it, and a. moment later he knew that some one outside had his hands on the sash. Sixty seconds had not gone past when the catch was thrust over with a click, and the sash was carefully and slowly raised. Young Archer was excited, but he was game. It looked as if a kind Providence was sending a Raffles to help him out of his fix. He rose and stood beside the window with his pistol in hand. He meant to shoot the intruder If he stepped Into the room, but a sudden thought made him change the weapon end for end. The report of the pistol would arouse the whole house and he had tacitly promised the girl upstairs to keep very quiet. The man who had raised the sash waited thirty seconds and then stepped over the sill to meet a blow that dropped him like a log. He had just fallen when Will Hardin opened the front door and entered. As he scratched a match to see his way upstairs he noticed the lamp on the hall tree and lighted it, and next instant his sister Betty came running downstairs to gasp out: "Oh, Will, we had to come home and you didn't meet us and mother is ' very bad and Raffles has been here and robbed the house and" "Rats!" interrupted the brother. i bui u sureiy was uames. l canea nlm Mr Raffles, and he didn't deny h!s identity. I gave him all our jewelry, and then he came down f or the plate IIe acted real nlce on mother'8 ac. count" The library door stood partly open, and of course young Archer had beard all. Now was the dramatic moment, and he came forward and showed himself. As the girl uttered an exclamation and shrank back he said: "Will, there has been a comedy of errors, with something like a tragedy to end up with. If your sister will go upstairs and you will come in here, I think that all can be satisfactorily explained." And all was. It was done in sections and methodically. As a first move the arms and legs of the man on the floor, who was beginning to revive, were bound. When the mask Tfas torn from his face, they saw that he was indeed the Raffles who had terrorized the manor houses for long weeks. Then Miss Betty was brought down and formally introduced to Archer. By this time she had exchanged her wrapper for something more appropriate for receiving company. Then

Chicago Theatre

tbe st0len jewelry was restored. Then the nearest country police, station was

telephoned to and Karnes was removed. Then the mother awoke and said she had had a good night's sleep and felt well enough to come down to breakfast, and she didn't faint awny when told of the doings of the night. Then, as a sort of closing chapter to the events, brother Will beckoned his sister to follow him out into the shrubbery, and when they were hidden from sight of the house he turned on her and said: "Sis. you are a brick -a regular brick." "Yes?' she smiled. "And Frank Is a brick a regular brick." "Yes?" "And by the great horn spoon, if you two bricks don't fall in love witi each other and give him to me for a brother-in-law I'll I'll" And then Betty blushed and laughed and ran away.
