Shocked at News. . Crown Point was shocked beyond measure to hear of the tragic and terrible death of Fred Horst, yesterday morning, when his lifeless body was discovered on the Pennsylvania tracks close to the Newton private crossing where it Is supposed the late "theater" train struck him, the evening previous. Efforts have been made to locate the engineer of the train which struck him, but the officials are laboring under difficulties as they do not know exactly which train struck the unfortunate young man and caused his Instant death. The deceased will be buried on Thursday afternoon at 8 o'clock, the services to be held at the home of Mrs, Mary Krost on Main street.

KEEP THE KIDNEYS WELL
Health is Worth Saving, and Some
Hammond People Know How to Save It.
Many Hammond people take their lives In their hands by neglecting the
kidneys when they know these organs
need help. Sick kidneys are responsl
ble for a vast amount of suffering and
ill health, but there Is no need to suffer
nor to remain in danger - when all diseases and aches and pains due to
weak kidneys can be quickly and
permanently cured by the use of Doan's
Kidney Pills. The following statement
leaves no ground for doubt.
W. E. "Winters, E. Chicago Street,
East Chicago, Ind., says:. "I suffered for a long time from pains in the small, of mv back and I had other difficulties
which led me to believe that my kid
nevs were disordered. Having heard
Doan's Kidney Pills highly recommended, I decided to try them and I procured a supply. The results of their use were gratifying. Every symptom, of my trouble was quickly removed and I was restored to good health. It gives me pleasure' to endorse Doan's Kidney Pills." For sale by all dealers. Price 60 ents. Foster-Mllburn Co., Buffalo, New York, sole agents for the United states. Remember the name Doan's and taW? no other.
of May Is awaited with Interest. The seats are selling rapidly and a standing room only crowd is expected to witness the production. ( Crown Pointers generally got a good "squint" at Halley's comet in,the western sky la9t evening, and "although many were disappointed at their first sight of the spectacle the view obtained . was a good one and the tail was distinctively seen. The wanderer will show plainer each evening with the later rise of the moon, and possibly the tall will develop all the brilliant effects which marked its appearance in the eastern sky.
It now develops that Burns, the
White Sox pitcher who played with the
Chicago Stars at the local field last Sunday and was partly instrumental in the making of the 15 to 6 score against
the home team, .was not Included in the list sent out to come to Crown Point, and there la a strong possibility that a protest may be made against the visiting team for what the local ball
tossers consider an injustice, in not being able to prepare for the visitor with Burns' reputation. Another game has been scheduled for some time In July with the same team and the Crown Point players are confident that the score will be turned around at the conclusion of the trial.
The town ordinances regulating the
fixing -of street lawns should be strict
ly enforced and the same done by the
town whenever necessary- Nothing en
hances the beauty of a town as a well kept street with the same kind of lawns, and as Crown Point is solely a
residence town and caters only to that class of residents, the need of making
It the town beautiful Is apparent.

WHITING AND ENVIRONS
"IT'S A GOOD THING.
An Eloquent Appeal. A few weeks ago a paper regarding "Public Playgrounds" was read before the Whiting Municipal club and published in Thb Times. The paper was an eloquent appeal for a municipal playgrounds for the Oil City, and was widely copied, not only by English papers, but was also translated Into a foreign language and printed in a Polish paper, and is bearing an abundance of fruit. Hammond, Gary and Goshen have already secured sites for a playground, while the people of other cities of northern Indiana are discussing the subject with considerable fervor. Strange to say, Whltng, for whose benefit the paper was written, appears to be the only city In the
neighborhood that remains apathetic on.

Millions made in oil. Millions yet to be made in oil. The demand keeps step with the supply. But a little over two years ago there was not so very much being said or done that would awaken the senses of those who have watched the progress of the state of California. The riches of the mountains and canyons in gold had long since been credited to the past. But two years ago the world was again startled with the knowledge that greater riches than had ever been produced from Mother Earth were at hand in the wonderful oil fields which were just being developed. . These have been developed within that period until the state of California stands the premier state in the Union in its oil field capacity and reputation. Good thing then to investigate, is it not? Worth looking into for a sure- and safe investment? California National Crude Oil Company stock is the' best investment we know of. 40 cents per share today, but 50 cents the latter part of the week.

Terrible Croup
One Who Well Knows Recommends a
Remedy to Anxious Mothers.
My little boy. who is four years old
has suffered a lot with croup. On several occasions we thought he was gone. After trying all the old time remedies and most of the new, I came home
one night at midnight, and my wife said, "The boy has the croup a gainsuppose you get a bottle of Hyomei." "More Junk," I said, "but we will circu
late our money so mey all will get
some. I hastened to an all-night drug store, brought it home. In five minutes he was breathing easier. In fifteen minutes he was sound asleep. It broke the croup so quickly it soared me. Anyone wishing to cure the croup of
j a child I hope will give Hyomei a trial.
Wishing you the best of success, which you surely deserve, I remain Jos. E. Clark, 204 6th St., & E. Washington, D. C. Oct. 7, 1909. Hyomei is a remarkably effective remedy in case of croup and it should be In every home where there is a croupy child. Full instructions how to cure croup comes with each outfit. Complete Hyomei outfit including inhaler costs 1.00 at druggists everywhere and at Summers Pharmacy. It is guaranteed to cure catarrh, coughs, colds and sore throat. Cures indigestion It relieves stomach misery, sour atom. ch, belching, and cures all 6tomach di ease, or money back. Large box of tab lets, 50 cents. Druggists in all towns.
