JILTED MAN SUICIDES.
ARE CITIES BUILT OF COAL?
While it i3 true that "Trade follows the flag," it is equally true that
great Industrial development follows the unearthing of great coal deposits.
So far there are only two sources of power that are available for large manufacturing enterprises. One is coal and the other, sometimes designated
as "white coal," is water power.
Hydro-electric development, however, is only, possible in hilly and mountainous territory. Such territory is often not desirable as a location
for industries.
With the development of the steam turbine and other improvements in steam power producing devices the availability of coal for the production
of power is greater than ever.
Consequently It appears that the star of the industrial empire must
move in the direction of the coal supply. Pennsylvania has long been known
as the great coal producing state of the nation. This has made it also the
great iron and steel center of the cation and the world.
But Pennsylvania will not always retain its proud position as one of the greatest industrial regions in the world. It is rapidly being eclipsed by
the famous Calumet region in Indiana and Illinois, which also have the advantage of being In close proximity to great deposits of coal.
here Is a startling suggestion In the report of the government
experts, whoTor the hurt- three years, havev been quietly makln- surveys of the public lands to determine their value. To the surprise of the government officials the experts have uncovered coal deposits in the despised lands of the west that compare favorably with the .richest ever known in the east. These findings have made necessary a redrafting of the coal maps of the nation, and nothing tells so graphically the results as when it is known that the estimated yield of nine states is shown by the ..following statement: North Dakota, 600,000,000,000 tons; Wyoming, 424,000,000,000; Colorado, 371,000,000,000; Montana, 308,000,000,000; Illinois, 240.000,000,000; West Virginia. 231,000,000,000; Utah, 198,000,000,000. and Pennsylvania, 133,000,000,000. This Is surprising information for people who have looked to Pennsylvania and surrounding states as the center of the coal supply, a'nd yet coal is not the only thing of value uncovered by the experts; for the instance, oil fields worth millions, still unestlmated, beds of phosphate, and, incidentally, water power sufficient to drive the spindles of the nation for all time to come, besides irrigating 30,400,000 acres of desert, which can be made worth $100 an acre.

A SHOCKING ACCIDENT. To gaze on the distorted and in some cases mangled faces of the victlms of the American Maize Products' explosion at St. Margaret's hospital, In Hammond, one would scarcely think that so innocent a thing as starch dast could be the cause of the death of two men and serious injury of a score of others. It seems that the peril to the man who works for his living is not always on the sea or In the death-dealing occupations on land where they are accus
tomed to work face to face with the fact that they take their lives into their hands almost daily. As a matter of fact, there is no occupation but what has its dangers, but the recurrent fatalities resulting from explosions in such plants as the American Malie Products company show that they are of more danger than many others so considered. The families of these injured men have the sincere sympathy of the public in the poignant distress caused by the knowledge that their loved ones are suffering anguish. Human life is sometimes held very cheap and it Is the worker who suffers. ft

CHOOSE A LIVE WIRE. When the Hammond Business Men's association meets tomorrow night for the election of officers for the year, much depends on the result of the election. If the business men elect a live, aggressive man for the head of the
cummerciai ciuo, u wui mucn to tne city within the next year. Hammond
is going to move ahead rapidly and if the leading civic organization in the city is helpful, great strides for civic advancement will be made. If the organization has at its helm a man of picayunish spirit, who is
averse to modern up-to-date methods of doing things that will advertise
Hammond, the work of the commercial club Mil be nullified and the or
ganization will be a brake on the city's forward and onward movement.
This Is a subject that is worth deep consideration instead of just cursory
noaoe.
Get a live wire, brimming over with optimism, geniality and the spirit
or progress. ' ft
THE ILLNESS OF A POPULAR MAN.
The serious condition of former Senator T. EL Bell, one of the best known men in public life in Lake county, and a man whose fame extends
out into the district and into the state, is exciting the deepest Interest
vvnen tne news was nrst Hashed over the district In the columns of this
paper that Senator Bell was critically ill, profound surprise and sympathy was expressed for there is no one in Lake county more popular nor better known than Senator Bell. His condition today is the cause of much apprehension and the keenest anxiety, is manifested as the outcome
of his case. Coming as his illness did, on the verge of his probable en-
wtiuto iuwj mo Bouaiuriiu race in iK8 ana sorter counties, it may un
fortunately eliminate Senator Bell as a factor. That matters not so much
to his friends, however, as does his being brought back again to health.
The best wishes of hundreds go dally to his home for his complete recover yy.

SMALL HINGES. A little run( of a boy came shyly forward to greet Mrs. Jones when, tired with ber shoppiug, she sat down on a stool In the toweling department. Mrs. Jones owned a hotel and waa buying supplies. It was the boy's first day at the counter. He had just been promoted from tbe stock room, where he had made good. "What is this bolt of toweling worth hotel rates 7' The stripling's eyes bulged. "I'll have to ask the head of the department This is my first day selling goods. Please excuse me, madam, for just a moment." lie rushed to the senior and eagerly made inquiry. .. . "Are you sure she wants a whole bolt?" said the department head. "Tell her I'll be there in a moment and wait on her myself." The boy's face fell, but What was it? Was it something in the disappointed droop of the young salesman? Anyway, when the man came forward, briskly rubbing his hands, Mrs. Jones said: "Excuse me; this boy is waiting on me. If you will give him prices we shall get along very well." They did get along. And when tbe woman's bill was footed up It came to $90. Ninety dollars! Wouldn't they stare when be turned in his little sales book on his first day's showing? The sequel? The woman became a regular customer of tbe boy, who was always attentive and obliging, and brought her friends to the counter. Very soon the boy got a raise in salary and is now head of tbe department. A little thiDg to do, but It was a "big thing to the boy and gave him a fine start upward. The fact Is LITTLE things are the HINGES o which BIG things TURN. . And you! Probably you will never be able to do big things In a big way, but you can put in a swivel hinge here and there. Can't you? . A kind word, a thoughtful hint, a little boost these are worth reams of papers read at the woman'i club oa the "uplift."
