It is said that the citizens of Clarke Station are making considerable complaint against the Pennsylvania Railroad Co., which Is shipping all its decayed vegetable matter collected in the city of Chicago, to that point and using it to elevate their new yard which is now under construction. The odor has become so offensive that several of the school children have become sick, and the people are unable to open their windows when the wind comes across these dumping grounds. The weather has not been very warm, up to the present, but as summer approaches, this will become
Copyright, 1909, by American Press Association. A QUEER BANQUET. Police Judge James Austin of Toledo, O., whose motto Is "Lift Up the Fallen," gave a banquet. It was a Scriptural banquet. That Is to Bay, the judge went out Into the byways and hedges, so to speak, and Invited the lame, the halt and the blind to his spread. "The Golden Rule" judge was a great friend of the late "Golden Rule" Jones, mayor of Toledo, and tries to run his court as Jones ran the city government upon the divine rule, "Whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you do ye even bo to them." So the merciful judge puts himself In the prisoner's place. Well, it was a queer banquet. Men the women, black and white, all victims of misfortune, were the guests. "Gee, cull, we're goin to be mugged," remarked "Piggy" Mulley when a photographer entered to take
a flash picture of the motley crowd of
sixty people. There was much laughter at this banquet, and some tears. And the toasts!
There was Mrs. Fred Becker, the wife of a paroled prisoner, who In a faltering voice told how her desolate home had been made happy by the Judge who had reformed her husband. Life now held a promise, and she was.

It is not possible for everyone to win and those who did lose, must remember that the judges were unprejudiced and unbiassed in their markings and that if they fell behind this time, they may win next time. It was a hard blow to Hammond to be reduced to third place, after such splendid exhibitions as were given by her orator and and her chorus, but it is the best spirit to show, to say "will wait till next time."
A SOURCE OF CONGRATULATION. We congratulate the teamsters and team owners of Gary on the most happy ending of their recent difficulties. The arbitral points in the controversy were adjusted within a few hours after the strike was called and settled amicably. The committees met in harmony, talked in harmony and adjourned in harmony which is truly remarkable In strikes. That there was no rioting, no effort to spread in a sensational manner, news that would injure Gary, is a source of congratulation indeed, and if Gary is going to settle all her labor troubles in this peaceable manner and there is truly no reason why they should not be settled in this way, the city will have another favorable source of advertising to draw upon.

PRESIDENT TAFT CAN GO FARTHER. A writer in the Forum says: "President McKinley died happily in the conviction that under his administration the last vastige of sectionalism had disappeared. President Taft can go still further. He can help the south in her effort toward that material development which her fertile soil, her forests, her mines, her splendid seacoast harbors and her Internal waterways eo abundantly prophesy. He can treat her people with genuine consideration; he can respect their traditions, even though he may not adopt them; and he can dispassionately and wisely influence both the negro race and its white environments mutually to advance each other's interests. All this can be accomplished without raising the specter of social equality a phrase thta has done more toward preventing harmonious relation between the races in the south than any other two words in the English language.

FINE GRIP WEATHER. Resides being spring at present, it is also splendid grip weather. Grip as you may not know is often followed by pneumonia. High winds and dust prevalent in the Calumet region spread the disease rapidly, doctors say, that with reasonable care, there is no reason to fear grip. It is in the throat that the germs of influenza find lodgment; thence their poisons filter through the mucous membrane into the blood. They immediately affect the digestive tract, the lungs, the kidneys and the inner membranous passages of the head. Hence the pains in the various parts of the body, the acute swellings in the head and face, fever and marked general prostration. All may be avoided by the cleansing and keeping clean of the mouth, teeth, tonsils and nose, and by some attention to the raiment during the shifting state of the weather- Excesses, such as overeating and overdrinking, are particularly dangerous.

In the latter year he became professor of mathematics at the Illinois State Normal university and continued in that position until he was elceted to the presidency of the university in 1900. Dr. Felmley has been active in formulating and developing many Important measures of legislation relating to the public school system in Illinois and was one of the originators of the Illinois state course of study.
"REAR CAR" FOR LADIES. A lot of men are waking up to the fact, these days, that the women in the world are doing a great deal '-ore fussing than they have been in past years, to get their names in the p.r; as the Xew York Herald says: Truly this age belongs to woiv.en. Listen to those outcries about tariff taxed hosiery that are making Congress tremble! and look at the "Rear Car for Ladies" to and from New Jersey. We opine that this innovation, starting on the Hudson tunnel system and threatening to spread to the Interborough, will soothe many a troubled spirit. Men may be glad that the question of giving up seats to the other sex does not intrude. Women will rejoice that they can discuss in their subaqueous journey the lighter themes of life and not be obliged to listen to weighty debates on politics or "Jack" Johnson. Incidentally the male passengers will get more room by the exclusion of feminine headgear with the menacing fringe of hatpins. And to the women may come relief from those uncomfortable persons who gaze and ogle and gaze again at every attractive face. Inasmuch as the segregation i3 not compulsory it may prove a success. Certainly the traveling public will watch the experiment with great interest, for who knows where the next classification might cut?
