Day's Grist in South Chicago Arrested at Postoffice. Suspected of being a' swindler and being connected -with a gang of men successfully operating in Chicago, Vincent Darcy, 24 years old, a stenographer employed at the South Chicago plant of the Illinois Steel company, was arrested at the postoffice last night. The arrest was made when H. N. Taylor, 50 Stratford place, wrote a decoy Utter to Darcy regarding gold purse which Mrs. Taylor lost several weeks ago. Darcy confessed that he attempted to extort $23 from Taylor by pretending he had found Mrs. Taylor's purse. Dock Company Fined. The Great Lakes Dredging and Dock company of South Chicago was among those who were fined yesterday for violating the smoke ordinance by Municipal Judge Scovel. "The people of Chicago have the right to breathe pure' air and I am going to do all in my power to clean the city of this smoke nuisance, even if it necessitates maximum fines," Judge Scovel said. "The defendants after being ordered by the smoke inspector to put new appliances into the plant to prevent this nuisance failed to make any attempt to do so. i City Won't Interfere. The city will not interfere in the fight over the Auburn Park lakes at Seventy-ninth and Stewart avenue. This action was taken upon the advice of Assistant Corporation Counsel Baft. The city will still continue to supply the lakes with water until the ownership of the land under the two lakes is settled in the suit now pending. The lakes which have been in general use since 18S9 are claimed by heirs of the 'original owners, who assert that the land beneath them never was dedicated.

HERE AND THERE. In South Chicago society and elete circles great preparations are being made for the coming fall and winter seasons, and not a few. weddings are now and then varied with club an nouncements, these beginning-of-fall days. The Cecilia Chorus, that splen did array of South Chicago musical tal ent, has already come Into the limelight with rehearsals.

HEARD BY RUBE. Even if the Illinois Central don't intendt to electrify their lines, there ij one consolation in the fact-that . th people hae worried them some.

"Will be willing to exchanee for seventeen of our 1871 vintage "smoke less locomotives." No questions asked if taken at once.-" Yes, we had a- bit of foe vesterdav. but in dear old South Chicago it was othing out of the ordinary. It seems that when the automobile scorchers strike jeffery avenue thev appear to have but one oblect in view to burn up the road. Some day they will bump into a regiment of South Park bluecoats. ' Bread thieves are not satisfied with helping themselves- to the "staff of life" but are now making a raid on the milk bottles in the neighborhood of Calumet Heights. It's a shame to rob the babies. Laura Williams, the East Sido school girl, who told her parents a wonderful tale of how she was kidnaped, put on the reverse brake and told the truth when she was "sweated" by Captain Halpin. The Calumet and Gaiety theaters are playing to crowded houses, and the hows are well worthy of patronage. too. There will be manv ripstitnto famil ies in 'South Chicago this winter if conditions do not improve. The one family brought to the South Chicago police station yesterday was certainly a pitiful sight. Officers Nick Sullivan and John Dil lon are now aware that gypsy women can bite and scratch equal to any other kind of women. If thev rart get hold of a rolling pin or hatpin they are sure to resort to their teeth. A few of the East Ninety-second street merchants and business men might pay a little more attention tn the "Help Keep the City. Clean" sifrfs, some or the sidewalks in that section are a disgrace. The South Chicago and Calumet Rail way company is actually sprinkling tne south Chicago streets. Be careful and don't use too much. Those dear old Almas Will alnn strive to keep up their old time pace and add another scalp to their belt tomorrow. 26, in the Calumet theater hall. Remember the fun las year?

The board road leading to the dilapidated old structure has been in a dangerous condition for a long time and it was , high time it was repaired or the city would have many damage suits on their hands. A few planks have- been laid here and there and now the bridge and leading to it are supposed to be as good as ever. , GRILLS SEMETHOD Indiana Food Commissioner Speaks in Chicago Last Night. Dr. H. E. Barnard, the food and drug commissioner of Indiana, spoke in Chicago last night on "The Sanitary Condition of the Southern End of Lake Michigan," and declared that the water off the shore from South Chicago and other points to the south is badly polluted for seven miles out, and that no dependence could be placed upon lake currents for a purification of the water supply. He declared that con ditions were extremely bad at Hammond, Whiting and Indiana Harbor, and that little relief could be expected until the sewage was disposed of in a more rational way. R. R. McCormick, president of the sanitary district of Chicago, In handling the subject of "The Work of the. Sanitary District," told of the difficulties that had been met and overcome. "There ia cooperation now between our board and the city through the Health department," he said, "but what we need is a certain form of tribunal to pass upon all sanitary matters. . TJha.t a labor union, is liable for damagesif it calls its men out because a workmen is not a member of the union, is a decision rendered by Judge Lanman in the county court at Victoria, B.

SAY SERUjGE !S POOR

Citizens of East Chicago and Indiana Harbor Complain of Electric Lighting." (Special to The Time.) East Chicago, Ind., Sept. 19. Citizens of East Chicago and Indiana Harbor, as well as the business men, complain of the poor service being given by the loci electric light company. Hardly a night passes that the lights are not shut off for from ten minutes to half an hour, due, propably to some breakage In the system. Business men are especial ly invective in their remarks on the subject, and declare that unless the de fects are remedied Immediately, they will refuse to pay bills for electric light service without a reasonable reduction, Proprietors of electric theaters are especially interested, as the poor ser vice means a loss to them of from $15 to $30 daily. The council will be asked, at its next meeting, to call the delrn quent light corporation to terms. The service is really a disgrace to a progressive city like East Chicago and should be remedied without delay, that the busienss men may remain allied with the city's interests. THE WEAKER SEX WINS Mrs. -John Duca Throws John China to Floor to Collect Bill. . . (Special to The Time.) Indiana Harbor, Ind., Sept. 19. After beating a customer vitn tier fists and kicking him several times with her feet, as he lay battered and bruised upon the floor of her sfrocrry store. Mrs. John Duca walked into Judge G. E, Reiland's court( pleaded guilty to an unfiled charge of assault and battery and paid a fine of $1 and costs. The victim of her rage was John Chirca, who owed her $26 for groceries and meats. John attempted to Increase the amount of his indebtedness and upon being refused further credit," became indignant. Mrs. Duca declares that he then said he would not pay what he owed her. The climax was interesting, especially for the prostrate Chirca, who cried to several of his fellow countryment for assistance. They laughed at his plight, however, and. refused to go to his aid. Mrs. Duca's plea of not guilty was un-looked for by the court officials. They declare that it is the first time an assailant has entered a plea before the case was filed GET TWO FALSE ALARMS Whiting Manual Training School is Reported to Be on Fire. (Special to Tub Times). Whiting, Ind., Sept. 19. Great excitement was caused at 6 o'clock last evening when a call of fire was sent in from box 16. This is the alarm from the schoolhouse and It did not take many moments for a crowd to gather on the school grounds when the smoke was found to be pouring out of the manual training building. The firemen rushed into the furnace room when they discovered that the janitor, after cleaning up around the building, , had stuffed the papers into the furnace. After lighting them he went home, neglecting to open the dampers and tis, with the chimneys being blocked up from not being used, caused great volumes of smoke to pour out, but was soon under control. There is very little damage by fire in the manual training building as it is absolutely fireproof throughout. Building Is Fireproof. The furnace room has brick walls and ceiling and cement floor. The old saying, "It never rains but pours," came true again, for at S:30 lastjiight the fire department received another eall from box 12.' In an effort to make a hurry up trip they pranced the horses down One Hundred and Nineteenth street, which is almost impassable, only to find out it was a false alarm. A SURPRISED MINISTER. "For many years I have been a suf ferer from bronchial catarrh, and had despaired' of anything like a cure. Judge of my pleasant surprise when I first used Ilyomei, which brought complete relief. Hyomel has been a verit able godsend." Rev. Charles Hartley, Sardinia, Ohio. Thousands of catarrh sufferers have given up in despair. .They have tried kstomach -dosing, snuff, sprays and douches without success, and now believe catarrh to ba Incurable. But Summers, the druggist, holds out hope to all distressed. He sells a rem edy called Hyomel which is guaranteed for catarrh, colds, coughs, bronchitis, asthma and croup. Hyomei (pronounced High-o-me) is medicated air, fult . of the healthy virtues of the mountain pines. You breathe in the delightful antiseptic air, and as it passes over the Inflamed and germ ridden membrane, it allays the infiamation, kills the germs, and drives out the disease. A complete Hyomei outfit, including a hard rubber inhaler, costs but $1.00, and an extra bottle of Hyomel, if afterjwards needed, costs but 50 cents. See Summers pharmacy about it today.

New York, Sept. IS. William Jennings Bryan addressed two large meeting in New York tonight one Inside and the other ouside of Carnegie hall. The big auditorium was crowded and there were hundreds of persons standing when the democratic candidate arrived in an automobile with Daniel F. Cohalon and M. B. Carey. The candidate elected to address the overflow meeting first and it was here the most interesting incident of the night occurred.Bryan opened tho meeting pleasantly. For five minutes he talked of bank deposits, the tariff, and then came to the plank in the democratic platform dealing "with labor. Standing in front of Mr. Bryan was a square-built man about fifty years old with an iron gray beard. When the speaker paused for breath and to give time for the applause that had followed his remarks, the man asked: "How about your remark that union men were public beggars?" Tries to Evade Answer. The speaker rpade an effort to ignore the remark and continued with his speech. The man in front was insist ent- From other parts of the crowd had come the same question. "Is it true, Mr. Bryan?" asked the man in front of him, standing with his arms folded and looking closely at thecandidate, "that you termed union la bor men a lot of public beggars?" "Answer him!" shouted several. Bry an held up his hand for silence, as did Cohalon. "My record," said the candidate "Never mind your record," shouted a dozen, "answer the question." "My record," shouted Mr. Bryan. AnniTfr Again Demanded. "Answer the question," came from all parts of the crowd. "It's a cinch Hearst has proved It, and he won't deny it," shouted men In the crowd. "You should know -that my record as a friend of the common people speaks too well for m. It is unnecessary for me to answer that question," said Mr. Bryan. "That's a stall," shonted one. "He's dodging," yelled another. Mr. Bryan was white in the face. "How about all this that Hearst says about you?" cried a man in the rear of the crowd. Mr. Bryan shook his fist. "I'm fighting the Republican party," said the candidate, pitching his voice so it could be heard farther than before. "I do not intend to answer all the charges brought by some one who is trying to help the Republican party. Hui-rle Away From Crowd. "Well, tell us on the level, did you say it? That's what we want to know," demanded a man. "If the man who asks that question and the man who has caused that quesjticn to Wbe asked comes to me as an

During the action of the four acts, numerous massive scenic mountings are used. The flight of the express and the wreck are among the heavy mechanical efects. "The Rocky Mountain Express" is marked up on time and will be here Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Sept. 21, 22, 23, at the Calumet theater, South Chicago.

When Judge Crumpaeker was dis cussing the panic of 1892, he asked where all the money was at that time, and a drunk stood up at the north side of the hall and blurted out, "The money was in Wall Street, it was all banked up." AndJ again while the speaker was talking of national issues some one yelled, "How about Indiana." "How about Indiana?" said Crumpaeker, "She will give Taft a majority of 40,000." Other speakers who followed were. Judge Reiter, Edward Wickey, Richard Schaaf and Judge W. W. McMahon.
