A deal involving the Gary Furni

the L. Goodman Big Store.

will consequently go out of business.

Origin of the "Black Hand."
There was a historical foundation for the name "black hand," according to Everybody's. Back In Inquisition days in Spain there was La Mano Nera, a secret society which fought
the government and the church. It
nassed. and the secret societies of
southern Italy were its heirs. Twenty
ears or more ago a false report was
raised in Spain that La Mano Nera
had been revived. The story lingered In the brain of a Herald reporter, and
one fine day he attempted to rejuve
nate waning interest in a puzzling Italian murder case by speculating as to the coming to life of the "black band" among Latin immigrants In
America. The other newspapers Beized
on the idea eagerly and kept it going-

Yield of an Oregon Walnut Tree. A big walnut tree in the yard of the residence of L. E. Blaln in thl3 city shows the possibilities of walnut culture in this part of the state. Though It Btands on the poorest kind of land for fruit growing and has never received scientific culture the tree this year produced $25 worth of nuts. This shows the immense profit of an acre of similar trees. This tree is 14 years old and stands 30 feet high. It is a French walnut of the Mayette variety. Mr. Blain believes that had it been properly trimmed when young and placed in good soil, like that of the Santian bottoms in this country, it would have attained its present growth and bearing qualities in seven or eight years. -Albany Cor.

Since Its discovery one year a(, ' postern, the new skin remedy, has. In lti extraordinary accomplishments, exceeded the moit sanguine expectations f the eminent specialist who gave it to the world. It has cured thousands of cases of ecsem and eradicated facial and other disfigurement of years' standlag. The terrible ltchlag attending ecsema Is stopped with the first application, giving proof of its curative properties at the very outset. In less serious skin affections, such as pimples, rash, herpes, blackheads, aone, barber's itch, eta, results show after an avernlght application only a small quantity being required to effect a cure. A muddy or sallow complexion Is noticeably improved by a single application. Those who use poslam for these minor skin troubles can now avail themselves of the special 60-cent package, recently adopted to meet such needs. Both the 80-cent package and regular $2 jar may now be obtained in Hammond at J. W. Wets', 98 State street and other leading drug stores.

Time's Changea. Owing to the precociousness of the children of recent years an amateur show is no longer the goose-flesh Joy
j It used to be. A number of years ago i children would get up to speak a
piece, white with terror. They broke down, and their ague-stricken kin In the audience prompted them time and
again, and the oftener they forgot their lines the greater the glee of the cold-blooded audience no kin to them. Last night at the Arcade there was an amateur performance that illustrated the difference in the times: Three little girls ran eagerly to the stage, and sang a song, each without a thought of the crowd in front. They looked the audience straight in the eye, and after the first note the audience realised that the tables were turned; It was the turn of the hearers down In front to fear; the audience was afraid of more than one verse. Having survived the whole song, it was afraid of an encore. And it got It Atchison (Kan.) Globe.
to get votes from all the districts, regardless of whether the districts have candidates of their own, then it is that it is expected to see the fur fly. Others Shomld Stay Out. The rule laid down by John W. Kern early in ttoe senatorial campaign for his guidance in such cases, was that he believed each candidate should be entitled to the vote of his own county and that the other candidates should stay out. He said he believed common courtesy demanded this much. But some of the other candidates took exception to Kern's attitude. They charged that he was seeking to create the
impression that he was going to treat everybody else with absolute fairness when at the same time he was looking for a big advantage. They said he would, of course, be perfectly filling to
enter into such an agreement with the other candidates because his county.
Marlon, Is a congressional district it
self with more democratic votes In the
legislature than any other candidate.
If the "county unit" were adopted as the exclusive possession of each can
didate, it was pointed out, be would
have more votes than- any other candi
date to start with.
This did not sound good to the other
fellows, so they gave it out that they would not stay out of Marlon county
unless Kern would agree to stay out
of their congressional districts. This
Kern has not agreed to do and there are none who believe that he will ever
agree to such an arrangement.
Therefore, it looks like an open field In the race for senator, with every can
didate tearing around and lining up as many votes as he can get and wherever
he may be able to find them.
The first, fourth, fifth, seventh.
twelfth and fourteenth districts have
candidates for senator. There is no candidate in either the second, third.
sixth, eighth, ninth, eleventh or thirteenth. The latter districts, of course, are open to attack by all the candidates without question, but the first list
names tire districts that are either to
be held exclusively by their own can dldates or to be opened up to a strug
gle for votes that will finally become
spectacular. Each Holds Tote.
As the matter now Btands there Is no
certainty that any candidate will be
able to bold the solid vote of his dls
trlct, unless It be Edward Q. Hoffman
of Ft. Wayne. It is said he will be able
to go into the democratic caucus when
the. legislature meets backed by the solid support of the democrats of his
district. Major G. V. Manzies of Mt,
Vernon may or may not get all the democratic votes of the first district. He probably will, but it is still a question. L. Ert Slack of Franklin Is almost sure to lose some votes in the fourth district, because Kern has some friends down there who will stay with him, it is believed. And Kern will get some votes in the fifth. So will Slack. John E. Lamb of Terre Haute will get the rest of the district. The sixth district has no candidate now, and will not have unless T. H. Kuhn gets in the race, which is considered here as unlikely. Marlon county alone comprises the seventh district, the home of Kern. There is a strong suspicion that two or possibly three of the
THE TRIBE OF
Marion county members will not be for
Korn. It is known that Slack has
trength in the county, and that B. F.
Shlvely of South Bend Is also well
thought of here. It is believed, how
ever, that the Marlon county members
will be for Kern, at least until they see that he cannot be elected. If that time ever comes. The twelfth will be for Hoffman, and he already has another vote sure, that of Representative Gottschalk of Adams county.
la a Pussier. But the thirteenth district seems to be
something of a puazler. Shlvely ought to be able to hold it solid, it is said, because he has done much for his party
n the district, but If C. G. Conn of Elk
hart happens to take the notion to en
ter the fight, there Is no telling what
the result may be. And, by the way, there Is a strong belief that Conn will do that very thing. It is known that
friends of his have been looking the matter up here to learn the exact sit
uation, and the politicians are of the opinion that they are doing this for
Conn.
If Conn decides to be a candidate it
is presumed that he will tap the same
large barrel that he opened when he was a candidate for governor, and this will make things interesting for the
"boys" who up to this time have not seen much of the coin of the candidates.
So it will be seen that the whole
senatorial situation is still in the air
and that there Is really nothing on
which to base a prediction that any candidate has a sure thing. All depends on what the candidates are able
to do In the open districts. A fierce struggle is going on In the third district, which has no candidate. The third has nine votes In the democratic caucus. It Is known that Shlvely
stands well in the third and there Is
every reason to believe that he will get
at least 'an even break in the third.
The second district will be divided be
tween several candidates. The sixth
will be mostly for Slack, with Menzies counting on one or two votes. The
eighth la for Kern. So Is the ninth
The tenth has only one democratic
member of the legislature, Representa
tive Faulkner of Laporte county, ana

it is believed it will be compara
tively easy to get a line on the sltua
tlon and place a pretty fair estimate
on the strength of the various c&ndl
dates for senator after the democratic members of the legislature meet here on Dec. 15 to discuss the legislative
program that will be followed. Representative Thornton of New Al
bany says he will introduce at the com
ing session the same bill to amend the
cities and towns law that ha Intro
duced at the last session. He says he believes It will pass this time. It Is designed to cut out some of the city officers In cities of the third and fourth class and to reduce the salaries of others. In order to reduce the expenses of conducting a city government. At the last session, however, his bill died in the bands of a committee.

MUCH PROGRESS IN THE
CONSERVATOR MOVEMENT. Washington, D. C, Dec 1. Govern
ors of practically all of the states and
territories, or other representatives specially chrsen, assembled In Washington today to listen to reports on the
progress of the movement for the con
servation of the country's natural resources. The National Conservation
Resources commission, which was ap
pointed at the conference held here last May, Is also holding a meeting to organize and to give its members an
opportunity to confer with the governors on the work already done and the plans for the future of the movement.
The reports to be presented on the
work accomplished during the past six months are of a most gratifying na
ture. In more than half the state commissions have been appointed and in the pacific northwest and in New England and in many of the intervening states conferences have been held recently to consider the great public question of conserving the natural resources of the various commonwealths. While In many states the movement is under good headway, the national commission, which is to look after the natural resources of the country at large, has likewise accomplished substantial results since the May confer
ence. These results are. to be report
ed and discussed at the present con
ference. The commission has practical ly completed an Inventory of the na tlon's natural resources, the first thor
ough inventory of Its kind ever made
by the federal government. Interest
lng summaries on the waters, forests, lands and minerals of the United States have been completed by experts who
have been steadily at work on them for
nearly six months. Upon these reports the future work of the commission Is to be used.

FIGHT FOR MAYORALTY ON IN ATLANTA, GA. Atlanta, Ga., Dec 1. Following a campaign that for Intensity and bitterness has never been quailed In this city, an election will be held tomorrow for mayor and members of the city council. Interest in the election centers wholly in the mayoralty contest. For the first time in years the regular
democratic nominee for the office la face to face with a strong opposing
candidate. As a result It is expected the vote will be the largest ever polled
In a city election In Atlanta.
The democratic primaries nominated
for mayor James G. Woodward, who
had already served two terms In the
office. In Woodward's terms as mayor his sprees here and La Washington and elsewhere gave Atlanta much notoriety, and his nomination for a third term
was a surprise. But the climax came early in November, a few weeks after his nomination, when be and ex-Police Commissioner William Oldknow were arrested on a charge of being drunk and disorderly. The arrests came as a result of an Invasion of the red light district by Woodward and Oldknow In which it was alleged that certain women of the district were handled so roughly that they appealed to the police. As soon as the scandal became known leading business re en of the city started a movement to defeat "Woodward for the mayoralty. A mass meeting was held and a committee of twenty-five prominent cltlsens were selected to choose an opposition candidate and report. The candidate selected was Robert F. Maddox, a banker and business men with a clean record. An active campaign in behalf of Mr. Maddox was Immediately started and the supporters of the movement declare they have no
doubt of Woodward's defeat at the polls toiJTrow.

How He Won Her. He was a fisherman, and in love. He had angled for Angelina, and caught her. He had angled for fish also the livelong day, and caught one ephippid that is, a porgy. That night he went to see Angelina's father on the delicate question of matrimony. He was nervous, and could not bring himself to the momentous question, so he talked about the weather and fishing. The old man asked, presently: "What luckr "Only a pound porgy," replied the suitor. "My boy!" exclaimed the happy father. "I know what you have come about Take her and be happy. No man has ever confessed to such a truth before. You are a piscatorial George Washington." That settled it, though, as a matter of fact, the porgy weighed only half a pound. Bohemian Magazine.

No man is stronger than his stomach. Make your stomach strong and you thereby fortify your system against the attacks of a long list of diseases which originate in the stomach and must be reached, if at all through the stomach. Thus torpid, or lazy liver, biliousness, dyspepsia, impure blood and various skin affections originate in weak stomach and consequent poor nutrition. The same is true of certain bronchial, throat and lung affections.
