Finally, as he was about to give up his last ray of hope, he received the $700 the cash being sent him with the notification of his uncle's death. Sends Marie flOO. With a feeling akin to Joy he immediately wrote Marie a long letter, told of his good fortune and enclosed a money order for $100 at the same time asking her to purchase passage on the first steamer eastward. Two weeks passed and no reply from Marie! But on Saturday evening he received a letter bearing the post mark of Pas tar, and
on opening it, out dropped the original
money order. A five line note from his
erstwhile sweetheart explained every
thing. "I've found someone that I like better than your $700," said Marie, as
she closed her missive with a short
plea for forgiveness. John cashed in the money order, put the money in the bank and says he is going to open a saloon. In the meantime, there is a
good looking Hungarian maid to se

the fact that she is playing second fiddle and that wtre it not for the freaks of fate John would now be married to another maid from the far east.

(Special to The Times.) Indiana Harbor, Ind., Nov, 34. Even the enormous (T) fortune of $70O was not sufficient to make Marie Dratsge return to her first love, John Mataikaje, of Indiana Harbor, who she jilted without his knowing it. The fortune Is John's and he first received intimation of it about two months ago, when he was Informed through a firm of lawyers in the old co.untry that he had been " made the heir to this amount through the death
of an uncle, Pete Matsikage. "She la the Belle. John lives on Deodar street, while Marie, the ambition of his yearnings, is still a resident of Pestar, Hungary, where, according to her suitor's tale, she is the "belle of the town." John came to Indiana Harbor two years ago to make his fortune, promising to return before long and marry his first sweetheart. Letters passed between them, carrying their tender messages, but the old adage of "absence make the hRrt prow fonder," evidently failed of conviction as far as Miss Dratzge was concerned. Their letters became more and more Infrequent, until lately John began to notice that she did not possess the same

JUHKETJOMOBROW One Hundred Members Signify Their Intention of Making the Trip.
(By J. Roy Morrison,)
Whiting, Ind., Nov. 24. A perusal of
the music "f the present week includes
a new selection from tne pen of Whit
ing's talented composer, Herbert Ingraham. "Roses" is the title, and roses,
with their volumeB of expression, are the them. The public has already been given an opportunity to test the
ability of Ingraham to write popular
music and has not found him wanting,
His "I Would If I Could, " and 'Til Be
Back in a Minute" compositions have met with instant favor, and Whiting is now wondering how the world will accept his latest effort. Ingraham is re
ported as very ill with but little chances
for recovery, and it is but fitting that this work should be the Climax of his
successes. May "Roses" live forever as
a testimonial of a brilliant and ener
getic musical life! The verses follow: Rosea. Alone I sit this summer morn, The roses all in bloom, Bring mem'ries of the golden past. That faded all too soon; I pluck the roses from their stems, Their petals wet with dew, I think of days in years gone by. When I loved only you. CHORUS: Roses, roses, roses bring mem'ries of you, dear, Mem'ries of love's sweetest hours.
Telling our love to the flowers, Roses, roses, your love was like the roses. Fresh for a day, but they faded away, Red roses bring dreams of you. I've roamed the world alone since then. That day you proved untrue. But I've been. Oh! so lonesome, dear, For just one word from you. 'Twas as you willed, you broke the vows, I bade you go, and yet, I've tried to tear you from my heart, And still I can't forget. (Cho.) Seta Hlse Life to Music. The theme is descriptive of passions more tender than those usually found in Ingraham's compositions, and as may be seen by the foregoing excerpts, is
handled in a more delicate, and pleasing style. Love, the divine passion, intermingles every line, and the authorcomposer's very self is easily read as

It now appears that there will be at least 100 members of the Gary Commercial club which will take the junket trip to Michigan City, South Bend, Elkhart, Laporte, Mishawaka and other cities along the route. The Interest in the event is even greater than that taken in the "coming out" day of Gary,when the great banquet was given last year on tJ's date. Nov. 25 will always emaln Commercial club day in Gary, and the members plan to celebrate the day as long as the organization is in existence. Those who desired to take the trip were asked to see Attorney W. M. Dunn, the secretary of the club, at noon today and have the tickets reserved. This is for the purpose of ascertaining how many persons will attend the great banquet which will be given at the Oliver hotel in South Bend.

The entire composition is of a brilliancy of mood that will insure its lasting quality. It can readily be placed among the ballads of American authors that are destined to take their place in the world's musical history, and is the equal of many of the ballads of Thomas Moore, the Irish poet, who supplied the favorites of a half century ago. Herbert Ingraham is to be commended for his change of attitude towards musical compositions, and it is to be hoped that his talent will hereafter, if possible, be directed along the theme indicated by "Roses," to the exclusion of the so-called "popular" musical comedy airs.

Special to The Times East Chicago, Ind., Nov. 24. Another step was taken in the culmination of the Harbor project last evening when, at a special meeting of the common council, Mayor DeBriae appointed Councilman Lewis and Walton as delegates to the National Rivers and Harbors Congress. This body will meet in Washington on Dec. 9, 10 and 11. Its purpose is to consider the recommendation of river and harbor improvements to the congressional body, and is one of the important steps through which all mammoth projects such as the one
now under contemplation are expected to go before they are given proper consideration at the hands of the federal authorities. 'nmb' Caoaea Trouble. "There has been a great deal of dissension," said Mayor DeBriae last evening, "about the number of delegates who should attend this meeting. Some think that a larger delegation should be sent, laboring under the delusion that the National Rivers and Harbors Congress is part of the federal body. That is a mistake, as it is merely an
incorporated organization, for the purpose of making a preliminary study of harbor and river improvements before they are taken charge of by the government itself." Mayor DeBriae believes that a hearing can be arranged
with the river sand harbors committee of the house of representatives shortly after the hearing with the national congress, thus elminating the necessity of sending a double delegation. More Good Can Be Done. Much more good car. be accomplished by sending two or three understanding
citizens to either of these hearings, and following their instructions to the two bodies by a larger delegation by the
general assembly itself, when the bill
for an appropriation is presented by Congressman Crumpacker. Data is being prepared for the national oongress
and the committee in the house, and three local delegates will go prepared to thoroughly convince those studying the project that a harbor in this section of the country would be of wonderful
value to commercial interests.
SMITH IS OUSTED
Fails to Secure New Bondsmen For His Appeal to the Superior Court W. S. Feuer, Owner, Gets Possession.
FIGHT BEGAN IN MAY III JUSTICE COURT
rived yesterday afternoon . when the time which he had been given by the court to file the bond rapidly approached. Finally, however. Smith was forced to admit defeat and after working hard all day to secure & bondsman he returned to Gary. Last night he was served with the necessary papers and he turned over the keys to the building. Smith was put out of the building last night, but Mrs. Smith wns allowed to remain so that she could get the sundries which she kept "in. her store packed and shipped away from the building. Flht Bcsaa Laat May. The fight for the possession of this building, which has lasted since the 6th of May, has interested every one in the city. Mr. Feuer filed suit in the Justice court and received a verdict in his favor. Mr. Smith appealed the case to the superior court and filed an appeal bond which some months later was proved to be Invalid before Judge Relter. Since that time he has been attempting to supply new bonds, and Feuer has been attempting to show that they were worthless and having them knocked out of court. In speaking of the battle last night. General Ffuer said: "It was a hard battle andwe have
won."
General Smith said: "Mr. Feuer won
fairly and squarely, and I am ready to tar nover the keys."
Proprietor Admits Having Had a
Hard Battle. Tennant Turns Ke s Over With Good Grace Saying That The Plaintiff Won Fairly and Squarely.
W. S. Feuer, after many months of hard fighting, has at last gained possession of his Gary property, formerly held by E. Garston Smith. The building in question is a three-story t structure on Broadway, near Sixth avenue, and the Gary hotel. For many months every strategy of the law has been employed by the occupant Smith to remain in possession of the premises and of the owner, W. S. Feuer, to have him ousted. Last night, after a game fight alll day, Smith hauled up the white flag and succumbed to the attack of General Feuer, assisted by his trusty lieutenant. Attorney H. S. McCracken. Smith receded from his stronghold at 6 o'clock, after a nerve-racking battle. He did not. give up hope of securing bonds
men to go his appeal bond until the last moment and then he was ready to
admit defeat. No Bondsman Appears,
Twice In the last few weeks it has seemed as if he had surely won the
fight, when just before the expiration
of the time set for the filing of the bond. Smith would appear and file the necessary papers. On each of the bonds
filed, however, Feuer was able to prove that they were not good or persuade the
bondsmen to withdraw so that there
still remained a flicker of hope.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured. by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflan'od condition of the mucous surfaces. - We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure.
