Day's Grist in South Chicago SOUTH CHICAGO HAN GOES TO NEW MEXICO. "William Suvoroff Goes to Albuquerque Far Ills Ilrnltk. -William Suvoroff, 8133 Cornell avenue, with his wife and two children will leave this evening over the Santa Fe for Albuerque, N. M., where they will permanently reside, or at least until Mrs. Suvoroff, who is suffering ,with tuberculosis, recovers. The family physician advised a few days ago that the entire upper lobes of both lungs were affected to such an extent that only a change of climate would bring relief and as to permanent cure was only problematical. This unexpected departure of Mr. Suvoroff is regretted not only by his large following of friends in South Chicago, but the firm with which he was identified as advertising manager, will keenly feel his absence. During his four years In South Chicago he was for a long time with S. Lederer & Co., South Chicago's big store, and later with E. A. Lange, another large department store, and In either capacity acted as advertising manager. Mr. Suvoroff was in lmportnat factor In the Stony Island Park Improvement association and that section "of the Calumet district will lose one of Its most progressive citizens. Dies From Injuries. Thomas Murray, 4 ' years old, died at the home of his parents; 6759 Morgan street, today from an Injury received when he was struck on the head by a board falling from a building tinder course of construction near which he was playing. The child ran to his home when hit and told his mother of the accident. His scalp had not been cut, and Mrs. Murray rubbed his head with linament and put him to bed.

Death of Mrs. Brennan. Mrs. Ed. Brennan of 6324 Evans avenue, mother of John J. Brennan of Roby and Ed Biennan of Englewood, died last night at her home at 10:30. The deceased had been an invalid for more than fifteen years, but despite this she lived to be 74 years old. The remains will be shipped to Urbana, O., tomorrow where they will be buried next Saturday. Seems Too Be Good To Be True. At a meeting of the committee on streets and alleys south, yesterday that body turned over to the south park commission Bond avenue, from Eightyfirst court to Seventy-first street and the latter street from Bond avenue to Jackson park for boulevard purposes. This piece of news seems too good to be true. Jt has come about, however, through the persistent efforts of the Windsor Park residents, who have pe titioned time and again for the boulevarding of Bond avenue and now that it semes assured the citizens are waiting patiently for Its realization. Weekly Dancing Sessions. Beginning with next Wednesday evening. Professor Kraus will give weekly dancing sessions at the Calu met theater hall. Professor Kraus has made all arrangements for the com ing fall and winter events, and he predicts that this will be one of the most strenuous seasons in the Calu met district Goes to Rosebud, S. D. W. H. Reeves, the Stonly Island Park real estate dealer, has left for Rosebud, S. D., to attend the opening of the government lands which will occur this week. Mr. Reeves has al ready registered and Is living in hopes with others from the Calumet district that he will be successful In getting a section of land. SOUTH CHICAGO HIGH SCHOOL NOTES. A great many pupils, mostly boys, were absent from school yesterday. We wonder if the last game between the Sox and Tigers had anything to do with it. It looks as if Mr. Lenton and Mr. Whitney had a talk about changing the rules in their rlasses. Both told the pupils today that when a period is missed It had to be made up before credit will be given for the work done during that period. The girls glee club had a business meeting at 12:25 p. m. yesterday. The juniors had a meeting In Miss Darling's room yesterday at the close of school. Theodore Schmullen, the president, presided. Nothing could be learned about what was done, but it will probably be known today. The physiography class will go out for their annual outing tomorrow for study and pleasure both, but mostly tor pleasure. The teachers were not severe in their marking the first month, and as a result the pupils are now relieved of their anxiety. Most of the surprises were for the pupils in the English and American history classes. Frank Ramsey and Harry Gerber, who received their diplomas last year, visited the school today. They noticed a few changes in the school. The new school Is beginning to become a reality. It will not now be very long before It will be ready for oc cupancy.

HEARD BY RUBE,

That loud noise which you are liable to hear in the near future will be nothing more than the entry of the pay-as-you-enter cars on the South Chicago street car lines. Get all the good you can out of the glorious month of October, as It will be a long time between Octobers. Polidcs is warming up at the pres ent time in both the republican and democratic camps in South Chicago. If Hetty Green is looking for an other .cheap flat, she might come out to South Chicago and make an inspec tion. We have flats anywhere from $1.98 up. A Washington boy has gone and rig ged up a flying machine out of his mother's sheets and soap boxes. Your boy, proud parent, Is probably wasting his time over vulgar fractions. Some South Chicago boys are so backward From all reports the dewhlskered goat of Stony Island Park is recovering nicely and is able to consume his usual amount of tin cans and show bills, There is quite a little work for the humane society In South Chicago in regards to the way some teamsters overload their wagons and then beat their horses when they can't draw the load. Not wanting to change the subject, but if you didn't register last Satur day, don't forget to chalk it down next Saturday. There are still a few of those pay-as you-freeze cars to be seen on the South Chicago car lines! From the talk around the political headquarters one would think that the rattle of a few pennies In a tincup i3 what the managers need to cheer them up at the present time. It is said that Mrs. W. E. Corey, for merly Mabelle Gilman, is about to go on the stage again. She might get a little good practice going on amateur nights at some of the local theaters. All of the South Chicago base ball fans have escaped the -silly house" so far, although several have gone so far as to hang crepe on their hats mourning the defeat of the Sox. in Mrs. James Timmons, formerly of 9 Ninety-third street, has moved to Grand Crossing, where she will make her future home. James Holleran of 729 Seventy-ninth street, left yesterday for a three weeks' visit in "Wisconsin. "William Streiger of 346 One Hun dredth street, has returned from three weeks' visit to Kankakee," 111. Miss Mauri Rllpson of Rnnft Wathlnir. ton avenue returned vesterdav from Paxton, Mich., after spending two weeks iwlth friends and relatives. Work of painting all the buildings at Bessemer park is going on at the present time, under the direction of the south park commlsisoners. The In terior of all the various rooms is be ing decorated for the coming winter season. Mrs. Emma Vvooiringlon announces the marriage of her daughter Lola to Harry "Wllkerson Ford yesterday, Muncie, Ind. At home after Dec. 1 at at 299 East Sixty-sixth street. CHELTENHAM AND WINDSOR PARK. Many new buildings are being built throughout Windsor Park and Chel tenham. J. Watt, 77 Saginaw avenue, has recovered from a severe cold which has kept him in the house for a number of days. A number of prominent Windsor Park ladies have formed a gymnasium class and they will receive instructions of M'lss Wood, the instructor at Rus sell Square. The following ladies com pose the class: Mrs. Fletcher, Mrg. Harmon,. Mrs. Horlock, the Misses Dis brow and Fraill, Mrs. M. Kenny, Mrs. George Castle and Mrs. Brown.

EAST C M I G n G 0 A ' IIDIM HARBOR

EAST CHICAGO. A Great 'Story. Officer Gorman has a goat, and therein lies a tale that would do credit" to a Baron Munchausen. While registering at the police headquarters last night Gorman told the story of his wonderful goat and its voratious appetite. It seems that the officer recently ordered a ton of hard coal to be sent him by a Whiting dealer. The coal arrived safe ly, but the goat Immediately levied upon parts of it. When Gorman ar rived home after his day's travels he was surprised to note the apparent deficiency in the weight of the coal. Hastily calling the Whiting dealer, he told him of the short weight. "I sent you a full ton, but will come down to look at it," promised the Whiting man, and In a few minutes he stepped from the street car. "Sure, an' that looks like half a ton," corroborated the dealer and was unable to explain the dif ference in the size of the pile. The two men then walked around the coal and soon met the cause of their trials. Mr. Goat was quietly munching the coal as fast as he could get it Into his mouth, and Gorman declares that the animal had swallowed a full half ton of coal In half a day. Of course. The Times will not vouch for the vera city of the tale, but Gorman declares that he will defend his story until some one explains where the rest of the coal went, even though classed as a "nature faker" by his brother officers. Democrats of East Chicago have opened headquarters in the Galloway building on Olcott avenue, between Chicago avenue and One Hundred and Forty-eighth street. Here it Is expected the deep laid plots of the local disjointed democracy will be formu lated for the overthrow of the republicans of the city only to meet with defeat at the November polls. The first meeting of the year will be held on Saturday evening when speakers furnished by the central committee at Hammond will attempt to lead citizens of this city from the straight pah that can only lead to success, republicanism.

Kubel mashed his foot arly last summer and asked for S 10, 000 damages, 1 ne amount or . settle ment was not given by Attorney McClosky, but It is understood that it was far beyond the man's expectations.

A voting contest is also being considered,-in which a ring will be given to the young lady re ceiving the grea "t number of votes. Saturday even!4- being Hallowe'en, dancing will be the main feature of the evening, and the I. O. O.

Cheer up, It might have been worse! John Dreesen of Forsyth avenue received a bad ankle sprain while practicing basketball in the high school gymnasium last evening.
