The villain, Philip Downey, arid his accomplice, Ezry Sprons, try to gain possession of the home of the heorine's father, "Amos More, which has a rich vein of coal running through It, the value of the property known only to the two scheamers. Old Amos has ben Induced by Jack Spalding, the hero, to accept a loan of $ 800 necessary to lift the mortgage now due. The train has left and he starts to drive to the county seat, and J)owney and Sprons, hearing of his intention try , to stop him. Philip wires his friends, the railroad superintendent, to have No. 6 stop at Philmore In order that Sprons may get In ahead of Moore. Uno, the soubrette, overhearing the plot, turns . Spron's watch back and the train whizes by with Sprons a mile from the depot. The adventuress, Ella Watters, tries to seeparate Jack and Nellie . Moore, the heroine,' and, combined with the efforts of Philip and his accom pllces, they carry Nell off to the underground abode of Scoulls. Jack sees the freight passing under the viaduct, leaps on it' and finds his' sweetheart struggling in Philip's embrace. Flash, U A W V A . " - Thompson follow them. As the engine meets the freight. Flash jumps over the cow-catcher, onto the freight and rescures both Jack and Nell. ; Wfli "Bat" Quit the Ring? Battling Nelson, the pugilistic light weigh champion of the world, may quit the ring.

Sorry for you. but yaa can't postpone that winter overcoat question any longer. . The ice man In South Chicago has no kick coming.' Ho has certainly had his share. Being something of a prophet your self, though not boasting of It loudly, how long do you think it will be be fore the street car companies will turn on the heat It is said the opening of the new police station last night was a very lady like affair. There were no nude dances and moving pictures as marked the opening of the Kensington station. The chief ; amusement consisted of game, recitations and songs. The song "The Dying Burglar's Prayer as sung by the policemen's quartet, was beautifully rendered and brought tears to the eyes of many of those oresent If you intend to take a trip on the South Chicago street cars, bring along your fur overcoat, ear muffs, mittens and your own stove. A little more smoke belching out fac tory smoka stacks and a little less from the Illinois Central engines seems to be the main issue under discussion at the present time. Nobody in South Chicago has lost very much sleep because 20 gold pieces would not stack. As soon as the baseball championship is decided the people of South Chicago may take the 10 cent fare on the Illi nois Central into consideration. Since the recent rain the street car company has been unusually busy keep Ing tho streets wet. up to tne time or, going to press nothing has been heard as to whether the 'Groucho" club will survive the win ter or not Don't you remember last week when you took a dip in Lake Michigan dur ing the hot spell? we warned you about laying in your supply of coal for the winter. According to reports, South Chicago is going to lose Captain Halpln. A better officer never had charge of the South Chicago station. The remains of Joseph Rowan, 22 years old, 752 Seventy-second street, Parkslde, one of the five victims who were drowned In the Calumet river Sun day night, was shipped to his home in Toledo, O., last night, for interment. "Chuck' Larson, 7410 Madison avenue, Grand Crossing, will commence training tomorrow for his bout with 'Frankie' White at Milwaukee, Oct. 12. Larson is the youth who appeared at Cavanagh's stag a few months ago In a friendly bout, but which was reported as a slugfest in order to injure Cavanagh's business, and the South Chicago Aerie of Eagles, under whose auspices the stag was given. Frank Smith and wife, and Mrs. G. Bishop, 8931 Commercial avenue, returned from Reed Heights, S. D., yesterday, after a three weeks visit. Mrs. R. Losure, mother of Mrs. Smith, accompanied them and will remain for an Indefinite time. VThlle returning the entire party stopped off at Mitchell, S. D., and attended the county fair, and among the unique exhibits was the "corn palace," the first exhibit of its kind ever demonstrated In that section of the northwest. The card party given at the Union Bank hall last night by the Catholic Aid society was a decided success. A very large crowd was present and prizes were given to the winners. The proceeds will go to the Aid society. SO. SOUTH HIGH SCHOOL NOTES. Miss Grace Parmelee of the junior class visited her cousin, Ruth, of Parkside last Sunday. Secret blackboard practice" was held by the South Chicago high school football team yesterday under the direction of their coach. Theodore Smullin was elected president of the junior class yesterday. Sam Stein attended a box party given by a number of his friends, at the Illinois theater. The membership tickets of the ath letic association were issued today and are now for sale. Arthur Church will be the host of a marshmallow party next Friday evening, Oct. 2, on the lake front. The sorority girls are still wearing their society pins. It is kind of soft for the tardy pupils. Hey? No books to carry home. The boys trying for the athletic team are beginning to grow anxious about their marks as the day for distribution of the monthly report cards approaches. The glee club has several new sopranos in their ranks this year. How About This? It is claimed that Parkside has a dog that knows more than some people. Strange as it may seem, "Rudolph," that's his name, and is the propetry of "Skinny White, during the hot summer days when all other dogs were muzled, went about the streets without the sign of a muzzle. The absence of the muzzle may or may not iiave been due to the fact that the canine invariably was accompanied by his master. "Rudolph" Is a .water spaniel and can do tricks, too, and not only that he has often gone on many strenuous trips with "Skinny." A Monday Morning Thought. How large the clothespin, industry really Is may be gathered from the fact that no less than 1,260,000 five gross boxes are manufactured every year in tne United States.

' " HERE AND THERE. j

ANOTHER GABY BOOST

Knotts and Caldwell Off For City League. Convention. The town trustees held a , short snappy session yesterday afternoon, previous to their departure for Omaha, where President Knotts and Trustee Caldwell will represent the Steel City in the National Municipal convention. The city fathers left on the 1:38 Lake Shore train for Chicago, and will depart from the "Windy City at 6 o'clock this evening. While In Omaha the Gary representatives expect to do a little free advertising for the Steel City. ' If there Is anyone present from any nook or corner of tho country who has any misgivings about Gary, Messrs. Knotts and Caldwell will be there to reassure them that it is the greatest undertaking of the present century. Mayor Knotts took wih him an album of photographs of the city, which will in themselves be a great advertisement for the town. At the meting this afternoon, nothing was done except the regular allowance of bills so that these ori the city pay-roll would not go broke before the return of the city officials. GIVE THE FIRST RECITAL Gary Musicians Delight An Appreciative Audience Last Night. One of tho biggest social functions of the year at Gary occurred last night when the Gary Musical association gave their first dance in the Binzenhof hall. The big feature of the affair was the orchestra of nine pieces composed of the finest talent In Gary. It was by far the finest ever heard In Gary, and the guests of the association were enthusiastic in their praise. It is thought that there were twentyfive couples on the floor who participated in the first of the series of dances to be given by the association this season. There .would have undoubtedly have been a much larger crowd were it not for the inclemency of the weather. As it was, however, several attended the dance from out-of-town. Mr. Blgelow managed the arrangements for the dance, and also led the orchestra. The next dance of the season has not yet been announced, but It will be awaited with Interest. 3RD ANNUAL FESTIVITY Throthet Lodge No. 76, S. B. of A. Will Celebate October 15. The third annual card party and dance of Throthet lodge. No. 76, S. B. of A., will occur Oct 15 at Price's hall. Seventieth and Stony Island avenue, Parkside. Great preparations are being made for the event and It promises to be the foremost social gathering during the fall months. The leading members are among the Parkside business men and no expense will be spared to outdo any of their previous gatherings. Music for the occasion has not been selected as yet, but it is expected that Krause, South Chicago's leading musician, will lead the talent. FER1I00D IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION GETS BUSY The Fernwood Improvement association has been successful in securing a park for that district and already a site has been selected by the south park commissioners. The location of the park, it is said, will be between One Hundred and Fourth street and One Hundred and Fifth place and Wallace and Union avenue, and comprises a tract of nearly thirteen acres. Residents of the district are very , jubilant over the matter and ere another season they will have a breathing spot of thei- own, thank you. Handball Game Booked. Some more good handball games are booked at the J. J. O'MaHey's court, One Hundred and Sevents street and Torrence avenue, for next Sunday. Tom O'MaUey will play J. Halpin for a purse of 125 and Tom Judge and John Mack will play W. Stevenson and Halpin for a $50 side bet. There will be other interesting games preceding the main attractions. Games will start at 2 p. m. sharp. n Need of Teachers A shortage of 1,200 school teachers is reported in Oklahoma. The cause is said to be the small salaries of women teachers. The club women declare that if the . salaries of the women teachers were made to equal these of the men the shortage would cease to exist. In the meantime women out of employment are looking to Oklahoma for places during the coming school term.

DEMOCRATIC GUM SHOE WORK Judge McMahon Makes a Short Address and "Mighty Din" Applause Greets Garter's Name. Special to The Tlhes 1 East Chicago, Ind., Sept 30. The largely advertised socialist meeting of Vice President Conners of the Switchmen's union, was held In Weiland's hall lest evening. Instead of the mammoth aggregratlon of laboring men promised for the occasion, a scant 68, by actual count, attempted to fill several corners of the hall. It was a noticeable fact that the audience chose the corners away from the speaker and spent their time nodding their heads sagely and enthusiastically whenever the speaker made any pertrinent remarks. No Deba Pictures. Another feature of the meeting was the presence on the walls of republican posters, proclaiming to the voters present the sterling worth of Taft, Sherman and Watson. No "Debs" portraits were substituted for these and there is little doubt that several of the voters are now laboring under the impression that Taft is running on both the socialist and republican tickets. Judge McMahon Make Addrens. Democratic candidates tried to get in a little gum-shoe work. Several of the minority men were present and pleaded earnestly for support. Judge W. V. McMahon of Hammond, gave a brief address, declairlng that he would "do things for Lake county." Follow ing his brief address, someone in tha rear of the hall proposed "three cheers for Carter, the democratic nominee for sheriff." The applause was amusing. It took almost four minutes for the first ;man to bring his palms together. Hr .was followed by four or five others and the "mighty din" was like unto thf cracking of a match upon a hot stove. Even the reading of the "Red Special" progress was not productive of any great result and the meeting took on lthe form of a disappointed church picnic on a wet day. BURGLARS ENTER INDIANA HARBOR STORE Indiana Harbor, Ind., Sept. 30. (Special) Burglars last evening entered the basement of the Stephens & Haywoodhardware store. Kntrance was effected by breaking a window in the rear of the building, permitting admission into the cellar. Here the marauders secured several iron bars and attempted to pry open the trap door leading into the store. This door was strongly barred by pieces of oak flooring, however, and the would-be burglars were evidently frightened by the approach of a police officer. Dropping their tools they made their escape through the broken rear window, without leaving any clue to their identity. Mr. Stephens believes that the work was that of local amateurs and not the attack of an experienced burglar. The police have been notified and are working on the casee.
