GARY HEARD BY ETJBE. The man in Gary who Is finding fault with Indiana summer because it lasts all winter is certainly hard to please. The article in last nlghfs Times con cerning the operation of blind pigs caused consternation amang some of the boarding house bosses. Gary women like those of other cities must have pedro parties and whist clubs. Many people can now fall as grace fully at the skating rink as they can at the barn dance and at some of the society hops. According to several of the local business men there has been a marked Increase in business during the past week. The Gary Commercial club made all preparations for their junketing trip yesterday, which when pulled off, will make its sister cities sit up and take notice. ' There are many women in Gary who get on their ear when they hear of any one abusing their husbands. Its us urping their own privileges, don t you know. Wanted' to exchange a nearly as good as new straw hat for a pair of can vas gloves. Wouldn't it be a wise plan to have the photographs of the town trustees put In the corner" stone of the new central fire and police station. It is said that most of the Gary girls prefer kisses to fudge. It is said that the men folks who attended the masque ball last night had a real good time. One in particular commenced to tell his partner what a fine dancer she was when he found out he was dancing with his wife. I GARY BRIEFS. John F.

As one weak link weakens a chain, so weak kidneys weaken the whole body and hasten the final breaking: down. Overwork, strains, colds and other causes, injure the kidneys, and "when their activity is lessened the whole body suiters from the excess of uric poison circulated in the blood. Aches and pains and languor and urinary ills come, and there is an everIncreasing tendency towards diabetes and fatal Brlght's disease. There is no teal help for the sufferer except kidney help. Doan's Kidney Pills act directly on the kidneys and cure every kidney ill. Hammond cures are the proof. Mrs. C "Wise, of 407 Indiana avenue, Hammond, Ind., says: "I was told by a friend that Doan's Kidney Pills were a fine remedy for kidney trouble and on her suggestion, ,1 purchased a box at Blcknell & Co.'s drug store. I began taking them as directed and in a couple of days could see that I was being benefitted. The pain in my back was less severe, the kidneys were more regular in action and I felt much stronger. After a week's use the pain had entirely disappeared from my back and this encouraged me. I continued untid entirely cured. I will always speak a good word for Doan's Kidney Pills when I have the opportunity." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

The promoters have been up against adverse conditions since last fall In financing the project and our local men have met with conditions at the Gary end of the line that have been unfavorable to the I early construction of the road the Calumet bridge, widening of the road, and the Inability of the promoters to come to any agreement with the traction company at Gary being largely responslble for the delay.

Sasse, the local real estate man, through whose efforts mostl of the free right of way was procured, in an interview said: I The meeting today of the Valpo crowd with the Crown Point men shows that every one Is awake to the needs of an early construction of v the line, and , the Valpo people desiring to use the Crown Point right of way from Glen Park into Gary is evidence that tViA Prnwn PatntArn a-nrn ft RtratpsHr a n A valuable key to the situation, i understand that the promoters of the Valpa rasio line will meet with Mr. Seaman, the man who is to finance and build the Crown Point-Gary line, in Chicago today, and the outcome of the meet ings is awaited vwitn interest, i am optimistic concerning . the early build ing of the road and we own a concession in. the free right of way that ought to attract all kinds of capital."

R. Gordon as the case of his death. McCafTery has recently submitted to an operation upon his eye, and was confined to St. Mar garet's hospital until thre weeks ago with an affliction of the eye. It is thought that this may have weakened the action of his heart and assisted in hastening his death. He was 63 years of age. - Mr. McCafTery is survived by six children, one of whom, William McCafTery, is employed as welghmaster of the Republic mills. The other members of the family are In Leetonia, O., their mother having died several years ago.

His death removes from the dally councils pf his fellow-workmen a man who has alwajys been actively allied their affliliated working Interests, and the hand of sympathy Is extended to the members of the bereaved family.

Prosperity Is Not Hitting the Pike with Leaps ' and Bounds. Cleveland, Nov. 12. The Iron Trade Review says: "Prosperity is not coming with a leap and a bound, but slowly and surely. Sentimentally, the iron and steel market has taken on a renewed spirit: which may logically b eattributed to a satisfactory outcome of the presidential election; actually, there has been an increased movement in some lines the last week, but there has been little excitement. It is apparent, however, that conditions are shaping themselves for more support of the industry by some classes of large consumers, notably the rail roads, which have been affording but little strength during the last year. Makers of steel rails have Just re-es tablished the present prices of $28 on Bessemer and $30 on open hearth rails to apply on deliveries In 1909. Such action IS taken by the manufacturers each year whenever it is apparent that the railroads are interested as to mak ing contracts, and as a consequence, the placing of large rail orders is expected soon. Necessity for equipment replacement is bringing the steam roads more frequently into the car market The effect of the Improved sentiment In the market has been manifested by a heavy inquiry and an advance in pig iron prices. "Exaggerated expectations of wide spread resumption of idle capacity im mediately following the election have not been borne out, and the mills are running at about their usual gait." A DROP 111 EARNINGS Street Cars Desired and Ordered by Roads Makes Industry Smile. Pittsburg, Pa., Nov. 12. The order for 1,000 steel cars for the Pittburg and "Uike Erie railroad has been placod witn the American Car and Foundry company. The Pressed Steel Car company was the successful bidder for ooo cars of the steel type for. the Grand Trunk railway of Canada. The technicalities yet remaining to be deter mined, the officials of the car company will not admit the actual acceptance of the order. The orders above noted ag gregate $5,000,000.

KERN IS ASKING AID IN FIGHT FOR SENAT0RSHIP. Bryan's Running Mate Clears I"p Donbt am to Candidacy. LaPorte, Ind., Nov. 13. All doubt as to the candidacy of John W. Kern for United States senator was removed last night by the receipt of a letter by John B. Faulkner, democratic representativeelect, soliciting his support. Northern 1 Indiana democrats are generally favorins B. F. ghiveley of South Bend, but to the event of a break Kern is likely to be favored Modern Helplessness. The best inheritance that either boy or girl may have is- that of resourcefulness and self-reliance. It is a common experience of those who employ the best brought up children of the ! present day, the i young men who go to the best, schools and acquit themselves well at the universities, that they are afflicted with a kind of helplessness. This is a matter, adds Country Life, to which the attention of education leaders should be directed. Really, How Could He?

t . ... ', ; The Women Chums.

OrisinaJ. The Scandinavian ship Sea Gull was sailing in Kara bay, a part of the Arctic oceari lying between Russia proper and Siberia. About five miles from the Russian coast at sunrise In the morning the lookout in the fire top, a woman (women on Scandinavian ships do the same work before the mast as men), saw on the port quarter a black speck on the track of sunlight shimmering on the waves. A black speck on a river usually means nothing, but at sea always excites attention. The lookout seized a glass and brought it io bear on the object, which under the magnifying power of the glass was resolved into a boat with a person In it The lookout sent word to the captain, who gave orders to put the vessel off a point or two with a view to discover ing if the lone boatman needed as sistance. ' As the Sea Gull approached the boat the figure in it was discovered to be that of a woman. She was lifted over the ship's side in an exhausted condition, pale and emaciated, but when they asked her questions she could respond only in the Russian language, which was unintelligible to the Scandinavians. One of the crew was a young Russian woman, Katla Jaroffi, who had shipped at a Siberian port a few days before. Knowing a little Scandinavian, she was brought forward as an interpreter. A close observer would have noticed a slight Btart on the part of both her and the woman from the' boat when they first saw each other, but they sufficiently restrained themselves so that nothing unusual was noticed. Katia questioned the stranger and reported that she claimed to have been aboard a Russian vessel and, incurring the displeasure of the captain, had been marooned. She asked where the Sea Gnll was botrad and when told that she would first stop at a Norwegian port asked to be trans ported there. Since she had no money she was required to work her passage before the mast ' Naturally the two Russian women became companions. The woman who had been marooned, Sonia Sarderhoff, was large and soon regained her strength, which was considerable. Katia, on the contrary, was delicate, and she seemed to have been pulled down by some past hardship. Both women were intellectual looking, and their station was evidently far above that of the balance of the crew. Sonia from the time she was able to stand watch offered to do duty also for Katia. This she insisted npon and most of the time did double work relieving Katia. The first mate, a Swede named Scanderson, became enamored of Katia and made love to her. Katia repelled him, but he persisted. Sonia took the girl under her protection, which led to hard words between the mate and Sonia, and during the altercation Sonia told him that If he did not cease annoying her friend and countrywoman she would compel him to do so. This Interested the crew, who ridiculed Scanderson. Ete paid no attention to Sonia's threat, but persisted in annoying Katia. One day while he was so doing he was felled to the deck by a blow from Sonia. When the mate got up several of the sailors were laughing at him. lie attempted to bring the open palm of his hand against Sonia's ear; but leaving his own face unguarded, he received a knock under the Jaw which raised him off his feet and landed him on the deck again. A fight between a man and a woman brought the crew together to see. The mate arose and let drive at Sonia. He was now in earnest and the fight was more even. Sonia was at' a disadvantage from her skirts, but she had the luck to knock her enemy against the capstan, which stunned him, and he was carried below unconscious. That ended the mate's attentions to Katia, and from the time of the fight the two women were inseparable. But Sonia had nothing to do with any of the women of the crew except Katia. She would not occupy a bunk with the women, sleeping when she did sleep at night on deck. She was a puzzle to the men, and her devotion to Katia excited a good deal of curiosiry. The captain, hearing of her quarrel with the mate, reprimanded him and gave orders that the two Russian women should thereafter be treated with every consideration. He even relieved Katia of her part of the duties of a seaman. Finally the Sea Gull rounded the northern extremity of Norway and, sailing down into the Atlantic ocean. put into Bergen. When the anchor had been dropped In Swedish waters the women went to the cabin of the captain and made a confession. Thoy were both escaped prisoners from the Russian political prison at Kara. Katia had been convicted of teaching the Russian peasants. Scnla was a man, Michael Vlostoff, who had got himself sent to Kara for the express purpose of freeing Katia. which he had planned to do by bribery. Katia's escape had been made at the time arranged, but Vlostoff had been delayed. They had arranged to get away from Siberia by shipping on a foreign vessel, which Katia had accomplished. Vlostoff had been obliged to put out in Kara bay In a boat and fortune decreed that he should be picked up by the vessel on which Katia had shipped. The captain furnished Vlostoff with a suit of men's clothes, and the pair were married before leaving the ship. ADELAIDE HILL.
