HE ORDINANCE IS DELAYED
(Special to The Times.)
Indiana Harbor, Ind., Nov. 25. beneath thirty tone of iron ore for ten minutes, without any possible chance to breathe pure air, Joe Bergenatzo still
lives to tell the tale of his suffering,
Bergenatzo is an employe of the Inland
mills in this city and boards with
family of foreigners on Pennsylvania
avenue. His miraculous escape is the
conversation of the hour among Harbor
medical practitioners, who declare that never before in their careers have they rr.Pt with so extraordinary a consti
tution.
The victim of the accident, if the
disaster may be called, was busily en
Eased on Monday evening in sweeping
Eiftings from the central hopper of the huce ore weighing bins. Over his head
towered another of the large steel hop
pers, while directly beneath him is the
final, or receiving bin, into which the
weighed material is poured for distri
tuition. It is the labor of a certain
class of employes to weigh the ore
(lumnlne thirty or more tons into the
central hopper and sifting out a suf
. h.:ient quantity to satisfy their needs,
The upper hopper is always full o powderous ore and from this is the de
mand satisfied. "o MI(dc tn Accident.
At the time of the accident, no one
knew that Berflenatzo was in. the central bin, and some one, commenced to drop the ore through the chute and into the bin. His cries for assistance were evidently drowned by his fright and the noise of the rushing metal. Upward and upward the ore crept, the heavy material literally forcing him to the floor, of that, bin. Ton after ton was poured In on top of his semi-prostrate form, until eight feet of the metal dust was in the bin, aggregating about thirty tons. For ten minutes he lay thus, until the final weighing was
completed and the signal given for the
drawing off of the ore.
This was speedily accomplished by
the drawing out of a huge slide. Hard
ly had the first small stream .of ore
- passed through, when the slide oper
ator aaw a human form shoot through
the aperature and into the lower bin.
Startled, and fearing that someone had
bene killed, he hastily shut off the out
let, and lifted the unconscious Ber genatzo into th air. Rftcnrd In 'lck of Time.
Doctors Teegarden and Ansley were
called, and worked over the man for almost half an hour, before he showed
any signs of resusclatlon. It was found that he had suffered a severe concussion of the brain, due probably to the blow received when he fell into the lower bin. In additlo nto this in-
Jury, the air passages of his throat were filled with the choking powder and his body almost blue from the compression of his flesh. As soon as he
was conscious enough to be moved, he was taken to his . boarding place, on
Pennsylvania avenue, where he is re
ported as doing nicely.
Physicians of Indiana Harbor declare
that had Bergenatzo been under the mass of ore for even two . minutes
longer, his life would have been liter
ally squeezed out. The heart action
was almost extinct when he was res
cued from a fearful death in the. bins,

Tries to Pass Check Stolen From Famous Manufacturing Co.
COHEN ASSISTS IN ARREST
The Gary town trustees got through
their business yesterday in hurry-up
order and were in session Just an hour
by the clock.
Very little business of importance
was transacted out of the ordinary
rotine, which consisted of the passing
og resolutions and bills.
The board instructed the city clerk.
C. Oliver Holmes, to write a communication to the Oary, Heat, Light and
Water company, directing them to
place water hydrants on the alternate corners of Broadway and 'Washington
street as far as Twenty-second ave
nue, and from there to Twenty-fourth avenue. The city water hydrants are
installed at the present time as far as Seventeenth avtnue, but as residents on
lower Broadway have asked the board for city water, it was thought advisable to comply with their requests as
they are unable to secure good drink
ing water by drive wells. The Install
ing of the hydrants will also afford
that section better Are protection.
Clerk MakcH Heport.
The clerk made a report to the board
saying that he sent letters to the
Michigan Central. Wabash and Penn
sylvania railroads, asking them to
place gates at their crossings of Broadway and Madison streets, but no answers had been received.
Ingwald Moe appeared before the board and asked that the Gary and Interurban cars stop in the middle of the black between Seventh and Eighth avenue upon signal. Mr. Moe said that the block was a long one and that passengers living near the middle were compelled to walk either to Seventh or Eighth avenues to take or get off a car. The matter will be taken up with the street car company. A resolution was introduced for the vacation of an alley in block 6Q, on which the new Catholic school will be constructed. The matter, was referred to the Gary Land company. . A resolution was passed vacating the aleys in blocks 6 and 7, now occupied by the Emerson school.
A resolution was passed confirming
the assessment and benefits of local sewer No. 1.
.'.The spitting ordinance which was to
have come up for the consideration of
the board is not yet complete, but will
rebably be ready at the next meeting
f the board.
The bond of W. B. Roe, the newly-
apointed deputy truant officer, was ap
proved by the board.
In these days when youth is the
moving factor In business; when a
man makes his mark at thirty-five and
is ready to retire at forty-five; when
business houses pension the man we cat "middlle-aged" rather than allow
his lagging influence to Intrude upon the commercial rush, a bald head Is almost fatal to any man's hopes. The
following must therefore prove inter
esting to rJeople who are losing their
hair or who are bald.

EDITOR ISM A HERO Indiana Harbor Scribe Pre
vents Dangerous Fire and Saves Ladies.
Indiana Harbor, Ind., Nov. 25. Editor W. W. Moberly of the Harbor Sentinel has entered the ranks of the heroes. Moberly has earned his reputation by averting a dangerous fire in the theater of Louis Greenfield, on
Michigan avenue, at the same time saving the lives of three women en
gaged ln the theater as renovators.
Yesterday morning, as the editor was
cnasing tne restive item, ne saw smoke curling from beneath the box office of the Bijou theater. Deciding to investigate, he found that three scrub women had accidentally (?) turned on
a switch, supposed by them to . regu
late the electric lights. The switch really operated a small electric heater,
and the unusually heavy power yes
terday morning caused the woodwork to catch afire. As soon as the three
women saw the flames and still greater quantity of smoke, their fears almost drove them into hysterics, and they could not be Induced to pass through
the doors.
After several minutes of persuasive
arguments. Editor Moberly succeeded
in carrying (?) all three of the women
to the street, after which he sweat some more, rolled up his sleeves and re-entered the . theater. This time he
found what had caused the fire, and
after extinguishing the flames with a pall of water, he kicked the small heater Into the street. Editor Moberly is somewhat modest ln his story of the affair, but his friends declare that the
sight of Moberly carrying a 250
pound woman in both arms one woudn't reach around would repay them for any labors expended In bring
ing the matter to the attention of the

If the thousands of people who suf

flciently to follow this advice, they
would cease to complain within twenty four hours.
Here is the advice, if you take it and
you are afterwards sorry that you did
it won't cost you a penny:
Go to Summers Pharmacy, the drug
gist, and purchase from him a Hyomel (pronounced HIgh-o-me) outfit. It will
only cost you $1.00. Take It home
use it according to directions, and if
it does not cure your' cough or cold
take it back, and Mr. Summers will
refund the purchase price.
When you use Hyomel you don'
swallow nauseating drugs. You sim ply breathe in the soothing pleasan
and antiseptic Hyomel air through the little pocket inhaler that comes with
each outfit. As this medicated ai
passes over the inflamed parts, relief
comes almost at once, and cure fol

Hyomel Is also guaranteed by Sum

Whiting, Ind., Nov. 25. A very en
thusiastic assembly of Whiting's most
influential citizens was held in the high school assembly room on Monday evening, the result of which gathering
was the organization of the Whiting
Relief and Aid society.
The society will be a permanent or
ganization and was formed for the pur
pose of assisting In the charitable
work of the city.
There Is already a large number of
members, but this list will be greatly
increased for many, owing to engagements, were kept away from the first meeting. Those who have already Joined the ranks are certain that much
good will be done by taking up this work. Arrange a Tag Day. The first move to be made by the society for the purpose of raising funds will be to have a "tag day." This they have decided to have on December 4. The plan for raising funds for the sake of sweet charity by having a tag day has worked wonderfully well ln several other cities, so it Is most certain that a neat sum will be realized ln this manner in Whiting. There will be thrty young ladies chosen for the purpose of tagging. To encourage the girla in their work the members have decided to give two ' prizes. The first prize, which will go to the one receiving the largest amount of money, will be a solid gold medal, and to the one receiving the second largest sum, a sterling silver medal will be awarded.
These are well worth working for, and besides the medal It would be fine to be able" to say you had collected - the largest sum of money for the benefit of the poor. It Is certain that there wlll'be: some tall hustling done," and
no one will find it possible to escape. City Promise Contribution.
The city council has promised to give
a contribution, but the sum has not
yet been decided upon.
The officers chosen to carry on the
work are: President Dr. A. J. Lauer.,. Vice president Dr. T. Wf'Kbhr."

Chicagoan Lands in East Chicago Thinking Him- -self Badly Abused.
(Special to Thb Times.) East Chicago, Ind., Nov. 25. "Sure, an' me wife's run away with another man and is hiding in that doorway," was the tale of James Quirk, of Chicago, to a local police officer Monday evening. A glance Into the designated
hall-way, which happened to be that adjoining Nick Vuksanovitch's saloon.
relaeved the fact that it was deserted, and Quirk was immedately booked as a "drunk." Although perfectly rational on every subject, he declared for hours that his wife had deserted him, leaving him alone with two small children ln their little Chicago home. The police finally decided that Quirk was mentally deranged, from the effects of too much bad "booze," and decided to give him careful treatment. Coul'l Stand the Pace. He gave his address as 3119 South Halstead street, Chicago, and inquiry, through Captain P. D. O'Brien, of the
Chicago police department, elicited the
information that the woman was at home, working hard that her children might be kept in school. Quirk was said to have lft home several days ago,
without saying a word to his wife. The proprietor of a blacksmith shop, evidently doing a prosperous business.
he began to drink, and was unable to stand the pace. He drifted towards East Chicago in search of employment and, when he recovers his senses will
find himself peeping from behind sjx good solid bars ln the new city hall. '
On An I'nunual Spree. 'm' Chief of Police Higgins declared that
Quick would be given a chance to get sober, retained in his Jail for two three days and then release him. 'Ji. condition will be attached to his re
lease, however, that he return home
and take care of his family as he
should, and not leave them to suffer as they have ln the past. Quirk Is really a well educated man, about 30 or 35 years of age. While he shows the effects of years of toll, he has not the rough appearance of the habitual drunkard. Officers about the police station last evening declared their sympathy for the wife and children and oris of the officers will accompany Quirk on his homeward trip, to see that he does not fail from the straight and narrow path. :

mond. East Chicago, Indiana Harbor, Hobart, Gary, LaPorte and Michigan
City. The league may include other cities in the league and exclude some of those which will be asked to become
a part of the league If It developes that any of them are not good baseball
towns.
The name adopted for the new league
s to be the Indiana State league. The
name is dignified and as the cities o
the Calumet region grow In size and
mportance it is expected that the new
league will become one of the small or
ganizations in the west.
TIMES IS THAXKED.
A resolution was adopted by the rep
resentatives present tendering The
Times a vote of thanks for taking th
initiative in boosting the new league.
The baseball fans of. the region rec
ognize Thb Times as their best Journal
istic friend. Not only will The Times continue to furnish the people of the Calumet region with its unexcelled
baseball extra during the coming sea
son, but will aid in boosting the new league and will print standings and
results in the, new league Just as It
does ln the major organizations.
It was decided to hold the next meet
lng of the league at Gary on Dec.
13 at 2 p. m. Judge Fitzgerald's office
will be the meeting place.
The interest which Gary people
showed in baseball last year is an in
dication that the fans in the new steel city will bend every effort to put a championship team in the field.
HAMMOXD FANS INTERESTED. But the Hammond fans are also very much interested ln the new proposition and are also expected to have a good team. The Whiting Garys in their days were as good a team as has ever been organized in the region and the Interest In the Oil City is now so great that there is sure to be a good team there. ' Both Indiana Harbor and Michigan City may be expected to have good teams and East Chicago and LaPorte will not be far behind with the right kind of a team. MUCH SPECULATION RIFE. Already the speculation as to which city is likely to bring out a winning team is an absorbing topic of conversation among the baseball players and the first pennant race of the In
diana State league is already on in the
minds of the fans.
The problem of securing the proper grounds for the teams in "the various cities in the region is a difficult one. This will be the first hard proposition
the officials of the new league will be up against, but they expect to secure help from the Chicago, Lake Shore &
South Bend interurban and the Ham

(Special to Thb Times.)
Indiana Harbor, Ind., Nov. 25. Indi
ana Harbor's Commercial club building
is becoming more and more of an assured fact every day. Now that the
site on Guthrie street has been chosen
between Elm street and Michigan !
avenue the question of the size and description of the building has to be
settled.
The plans of the architects, Messrs.
L. N. Mitchell & Co., of Chicago, call
for a fifty-foot building, two stories
high, built of brick with white enamel
ed brick front. This will make a beautiful addition to the Harbor's already
splendid showing of business and resi
dence buildings, and will give the proposed Commercial club a splendidly ap
portioned club home.
The plans and specifications are to be accepted at a meeting of the build
ing organization next week probably Thursday evening after which the work will be prosecuted with all haste
until completed. Sponsors of the .'pro
ject believe that it will be opened to the public before February 1 of next
year.

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.-d condition of the mucous surfaces.
