FROM NEIGHBORING TOWN AND CITY
NEWS OF THE COUNTY SEAT
MANY GABY PEISONEKS BEOUGHT TO THE HUB.
A Whole Bu Load of All Colors la Brought to Jail. Crime and Isorder must be rampant around Gary If the number of prisoners brought from there and Incarcerated In the county Jail here Is any criterion. Not only do the officers of the law bring men over singly, In pairs and quartets, but yesterday a whole bus load of them, male and female, white and black., were brought here from the steel city, charged with various misdemeanors and infractions of the law. Probably as the city grows In size a "black Maria" making regular and established trips to the county Jail here will be one of the features and evidences of Lake county's growth, criminally as well as commercially.
One thing is certain, It wouldn't take a very large building to house the
' criminally inclined of Crown Point, and Sleepy Hollow can at least pride itself
n that score. The county's lawbreak
ers get a good example of law-abiding communities when they reach Crown
Point, If nothing more.
FOOTBALL TEAM IS GETTING LOTS OF PRACTICE
Crown Point Will Try to Get Lowell'
Goat on Thursday.
The football team, slated to play the
Lowell Athletic club here on .Thanks-;
giving day. Is putting In much time
at practice and well be In good shape
to wags a grueling contest against the heavier Lowell opponents. Much Interest is being evinced and probably quite a little money will change hands by these backing their favorites to win. Crown Point seems to be the favorite at the present, probably on account of having defeated the Lowell team recently by a close score, but there are reports emanating from the Lowell camp stating that the team has Improved considerably and will give Crown Point this game of its football career. The lineup will probably be as follows to defend the Crown Point colors: Right end, Huber: right forward, Bailey; right guard, Newton; center, DeCamp, Crawford; left guard, Hennlng; quarterback, Rudolph; Left half. Glover; right half, J. Rudolph; fullback, Toung.
upon one, with a population of many
thousands more than Crown Point's,
that could boast of three as beautiful
bank buildings that now grace the streets of Crown Point.
No appointment has been made, as
far as reaching the public ear, in the
deputy sheriff office, and the fact is causing quite a few sleepless nights to
the aspirants of that Job. There is quite a spirited contest between the Crown Poinrs who are striving for
the plum at this end of the line, and enough wire-pulling Is being done to
elect a governor. The arrangement committee for the public library bazar and , benefit is working overtime In preparation for the event on Dec. 11. Many useful household articles are being made to be sold at the various booths and those in charge hope to realize a good sum of money to be used In buying good books for the library. Save your money and buy some of your Christmas presents at the bazar and at the same time help out a worthy cause. It Is reported that work on the brewery sewer, that was started recently by another gang of men, has been stopped for an indefinite period and it is hard to say when It will be resumed. From all Indications the probability of the institution remaining in Crown Pont are extremely hazardous, although nothing definite has been given out at this end of the line. ' The chief draw
back to the concern's Interest here is
the inadequacy of railroad facilities
but many cannot see where they will benefit of moving into a place where
the labor situation and greater compe
tition will put the transit factor in the
shade.
Frank Krinblll, manager of the
Crown Point Telephone company, has
been a sufferer from neuralgia of the
head for several days, and for the bene fit of the company's patrons has re
trained from answering any calls ove
the line. Frank doesn't swear, but what he says these days might sound
that way over the phone.
Dick Beilefleld, the Wells Fargo ex
pressman, has bf?n presented with an
other company horse that isn't quite as
fractious as the one he recently drove, at least you can get the animal within
four blocks of a train without buying a new harness for the "critter." Dick
has concluded that there was only one
sensible horse In the world and that was old "Suyler." He was so foxy that he drove Dick most of the time.'
count of her husband meeting with an accident In an explosion of molten lead, writes to her parents here that he will loose the sight of one eye entirely, and that the other is seriously injured, but it Is hoped the sight will be saved. Will you please call up phone 68 when you get any news for the Lowell items in The Lake County Times.
Rains Valuable to Farmers. The recent rains have been a Godsend to those having empty cisterns and being shy on soft water, from which difficulty nearly halSpf Crown Point's population was suffering. The longstanding drought of weeks has also made everything as dry as tinder, greatly enhancing the danger ef fire.
Old residents of Crown Point cannot remember a season when so little water
has fallen as has been experienced in the last summer and present fall
months.

Gets Lots of Notoriety. .
Hardly a Gay passes without Crown
Point getting its daily, dose of notorl
ety on account of the marriage mills here. Yesterday's Chicago papers gave a daring account of a fair divorcee who
had come to grief in two previous matrimonial ventures, one of which was contracted in Crown Point. Every case that is aired in the metropolitan papers only seems to advertise the fact that Crown Point is the proper place to have the deed done, and there is consequently no let-up to the business here. Fact of the matter is, that it is steadily on the increase and Crown Point will soon rival the far-famed "St. Joe as a Gretna Green. ' ' '

No other medicine for woman's ills has any such professional endorsement as Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has received, in the unqualified recommendation of each of its several ingredients by scores of leading medical men of all the schools of practice. Is such an endorsement not worthy of your consideration? Is it not a significant fact too that Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription Is the only medicine sold through druggists, for woman's peculiar weak nesses and ills, the makers of which are not afraid to print its every in gredient on its outside wrapper ? Is this not worthy of your consideration if you are a poor sick invalid woman ?
The formula of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription will bear the most critical examination of medical experts, for it contains no alcohol, narcotics, harmful, or habit-forming drugs, and no agent enters into it that is nc t highly recommended by the most advanced and leading medical teachers and authorities of their several sr hools of practice. These authorities recommend the ingredients of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription for t'le cure of exactly the same ailments for which this world-famed medicine is advised.
