WHO WILL BE Who will be the aldermen to fill term in the newly created wards in somewhat of a scramble for the honor, ready in the field. But so far as the
concerned, a superficial canvass of the situation yesterday revealed no aspirants and for the moment, it looks as though these offices were going begging.
Politicians generally throughout the Harbor claim not to have heard of any one who is seeking the honor. Many of them discussed the probabilities
on the streets and in their offices, but no satisfactory light was shed on the subject. They claim that republicans who might enter the field are at a dis
advantage with a democratic majority
terest in the matter, and not a defmocrat, so far as can be learned, has
shown his hand.
In Oklahoma the situation has developed a real struggle. Three candi
dates are already hard at work, fighting tooth and nail, and petitions are being circulated among the voters, to enchance the strength of the aspirants
for aldennanic honors. William Fuzy, change and the other lines of trade that
who is the son of Andrew Fuzy "the king of Oklahoma," is one of the candidates. Gabriel Sasse, saloonkeeper and old resident of the district is an
other and Dan Varidij, also saloonkeeper doing business at 4801 Alexander avenue, are others. These two last named are circulating petitions in the interests of their candidacy. All of the candidates are republicans. As there is some advertising necessary before the aldermen can be appointed, the
matter will not be passen upon until cil, have the appointive power, and would be their choice. HAMMOND POLITICS
Up and down the Calumet region in every city of importance, except Hammond, the politicians of both parties are getting busy. In some cases their pulses rage at fever heat. In Hammond, however, there is a cold and clammy political silence, neither party has so far waxed enthusiastic over its prospects. What this portents is doubtful. It is too busy in industrial
business and professional circles over who will be the next mayor, or else it means that when September and October arrive, politics will become so warm that no body can get near it without getting burned. The game is
young anyway and in Hammond there
excited so far over the political situation on either ticket. Times have
changed however, in the last year or
BIG SHOW ON ITS WAY. It perhaps isn't necessary to remind you that the great Lake County Fair the biggest show of the year is rapidly approaching. The gentlemanly press agent who has the reputation of never exaggerating, says that it is gong to be what the small boy calls a "humdinger" this year. The arrangements that have been completed for the entertainment of the visiting thousands by Crown Point this year, are nothing short of stupendous. If you havent had your vacation yet, wait and take it during the fair. It will be well worth ycur while. Crown Point is ready to surprise the world thi3 year and you'll be surprised,bank on that. It is going to be a great show.
JUDGE HEMBROFF'S CANDIDACY. The-announcement of the candidacy of Judge T. M. Hembroff, for the republicail nomination for mayor of East Chicago, made in this paper yesterday, ws hailed with gladness by Mr. Ilembroff's friends. With Judge Hembroff in ?.he race, the contest will acquire dignity from the start. Mr. Hembroff was formerly judge of the Hammond city court and though he was elected on the democratic ticket, he had hosts of republican friends who voted for him and put man above party. Since then he has sworn allegiance to the republican party and has been identified with party leadership in Indiana Harbor for some time. Mr. Hembroff will of course have opposition as there are at least four other receptive candidates. The race for th plum f2 East Chicago this year, promises to be a very interesting one.
IT CERTES IS A TITBIT. Here is one of the tid-bits that is going the rounds of the democratic papers through the courtesy of the state "press bureau:" "Senator Benjamin F. Shively, of Indiana, who has the. distinction of being the only democrat in the senate from north of Mason and Dixon's line and east of the Mississippi river, has already demonsrated the fact that he will be a strong member of that body and a commanding figure on the democratic side." If this is intended as a bunch of immortelles or a spike of tuberoses, well and good, but if it is designed to create the impression that Senator Shively is efficient or that he ever will be efficient, it is merely a shameless attempt to bunco the people. Fort Wayne News.
THE LAKE COUNTY TIMES, published at Hammond, claims credit for successfully winning an anti-vice crusade in Gary. It says the lid is on, and decent people are rejoicing and hope that the new condition of things will continue. Chief Joseph Martin received instructions from Mayor Knotts to close up every vicious resort in Gary, to stop gambling, and order scarlet women to leave the city. The order went into effect that very noon. The report, however, that theatres and ice cream parlors were to be closed on Sunday was prmature. The TIMES is to be congratulated. Laporte Herald.

Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE.-. A POLITE HUSBAND. This Is an unusual tale of a judicious husband and a silly wife. An Illinois man learned somehow that his wife intended to elope with another man. He made no effort to prevent the elopement, merely taking: care to Intercept the train on which the wife departed at the station where she was to meet her gay admirer. The husband selected the psychological moment when the couple ex changed the first greetings on the sta tion platform. He stepped up to the elopers and, raising his hat, remarked in well modulated voice: "Pardon me, I am about to take this lady home to ber mother." The couple was taken by surprise. The man in the case fidgeted a moment and faded away. The woman was so dazed she could offer no remonstrance. She was bustled Into a closed carriage. Her husband mounted the box with the driver. And thus she was conveyed back to her starting point. The husband escorted her to her mother's door and, upon the appearance of the mother, politely said: "I beg your pardon, madam, but I have brought your daughter home." He then went back to his work as if nothing had happened. Evidently this husband had a sense of dramatic fitness that was opposed to the usual melodrama of such occasions. Certainly he did his act artistically and without heroics. The sequel? The wife later on got a divorce on the charge of "desertion," the husband, with admirable taste, refusing to make any defense in court. The Lothario, brave esquire of dames, never afterward appeared in those parts. Sensible husband! He very well knew he could not pre vent the elopement. Obstacles would have made the woman more deter mined. Where was the use of making a fuss over a shallow, witless woman who would leave a good husband to go away with an adventurer? The woman herself was saved from a worse fate. Without doubt the sort of fellow who would entice a wife would mistreat her sooner or later. That Is usually the sad history of Euch es capades.

INDIANA WILL . GET NEW MILLS. Options have been secured by the West Side Business association of Evansvllle on a large steel mill, employing 1,000 men, which is now in the Pittsburg district. It is expected that the definite announcement of the establishment of the mill here can be made within two weeks. Charles S. Ilernly, former republican state chair man of Newcastle is the agent for the Pittsburg plant. lie has contracted to buy 1,000 acres of ground west of the city, part of which will be platted for residence purposes, while the remainder will be used by the mill.

For the reputed reason that there is too much prosperity and good citizenship in Richmond to afford it a profit able field, the Salvation Army has abandoned Richmond. At various times this organization has taken up quarters here, but after a few months the work has been allowed to drop. Richmond is lacking largely in the element of population among which the Salvation Army can work to advantage. "BLIND TIGER" DOOMED. The "blind tiger" in Hendricks county has to go. Prosecutor E. M.

There is sufficient work at the company's plant here now to last for five or six months. MANY ATTENDING CONVENTIONS. Winona is in the thick of conventions of every kind. Hundreds of persons are arriving daily to attend their favorite convention and all day long persons were hurrying to Sunday school training classes, citizenship institutes, Bible schools, concerts, lecturers, pipe organ recitals and special classes.

The Evening Chit-Chat By RUTH CAMERON
The only way to learn to do anything is to do It. The only way to learn to cook or sew is to cook or sew. That means to make failures as well as successes heavy cakes. Jellies that won't jell, biscuits hard as rocks, crooked liems and puckered seams, as well as toothsome dishes ami dainty dresses. Unless one is a genius at anything the road to success is usually paved with many awkard attempts and some utter failures. I very frequently hear the American girl scored for her lack of housewifely ability. Much of the time it is the American girl's mother who deserves the scorinii-

HOHEKT KIDNEY. fj-Crrvrvi'ifrrr Water at Keals In Hot Weather. Do not drink water or other liquids when you have food in your mouth, for one ptirt of the danger of drinking at meals is tr.at the fluid may wash down iuto the stomach particles of food which Lave not been thoroughly masticated and impregnated by the digestive Juices la the mouth. The second danger, especially in summer, is that your drink may be too cold, like ice water, which so many foolish persons indulge in too much. When you swallow l"c water at mealtimes the water simply paralyzes the walls of the stomach for a time and stops the flow of fra-tr!c juices until the body warmth has overcome the chill and allows the juices to flow once uiore. But if you chew your food well and DO NOT DRINK VERY COLD FLUIDS there is no danger. I t 4fx - '1 V - tf r x
