BASEBALL SEASON It is not so very long, before the malady which affects it to a greater malady is baseball madness.

But there are worse diseases. In fact baseball madness is a pleasant sort of a malady. It prevents much more harmful diseases from taking root,

gets the patient out into the open air,

opes his vocal organs, and causes a wholesome deviation of his mental facul

ties from their regular channels. The trouble with the ailment is money that might be spent at home, to This should not be the case in Indiana Baseball association is what is to be.

Give us a strong league and the fans will stay at home, or at most fol

low the home team to nearby fields of conquest. If the latter the compli ment may be expected to be reciprocated, so it is a stand off.

With a baseball league in the field

there is no reason in the world why any Lake county fan, or any fan from any of the cities which have teams in the league, should ever go to Chicago

for a game. Nof will they. This not saying necessarily that as in the local league, as is to be found in But this is not necessary to a thorough the teams are made up of good, thorough

there is just as much sport to be derived by watching a minor league team

in battle royal, as a couple of teams will admit that. In fact the enjoyment is far greater that is soon becomes acquainted with their interest is thereby much greater

technically might be a better game, when participated in by a lot of men whom they do not know one from another, and to whom they pay no allegianca

such as their home city team inspires.

Not only this. The spectators themselves are more or less acquainted

The rooters for the home team are the visiting team. The latter do not

sit shoulder to shoulder, and their presence is the occasion of much good

natured "kidding" back and forth, which invariably adds interest and fun

to a game. , The league will be the means of

friendly rivalry. Each team will have as much at stake as the others Baseball in northern Indiana will no longer be a "two old cat" proposition

where the players will take their dishes and go home, just because the umpire's ruling does not favor them as much as they think it ought. There is money on their good conduct and on their gamene3S in defeat as well as

their gameness to engage for victory. Sport for sport's sake is all very commercialism which tbe league has

right. The players will not dare to act the school-boy as there is a for feit which their team must pay. if they don't behave. They must be gov

erned by the rules laid down by the the season, expecting nothing else. Most of the progressive cities of

have signified their willingness to join. It remains for East Chicago to follow suit. It seems as though the town ought to contain enough good

sports to support a ball team worthy

unto Itself the fact that it will pay to have a park next year. By all means, East Chicago, get in the game.

RANDOM THINGS S FLINGS

EVERY ground-hog has his day. FIRST call for the pie plant also. WELL, February was not such a shabby old month either. THERE is no labor trouble on the Seamoa Crown Point-Gary line. HOW are you observing Lent, or does your wifey still persist in playing bridge? . WONDER if the East Chicago Globe thinks the grand jury is "slush" by this time? MOST of those soldiers down in Mex ico have names that sound like a new brand of corn cure. THE hippodrome went through Ham mond the other day. Alderman Castleman is not meant, however. - MIGHT be well for the legislature to cut out all other business entirely until the Proctor bill is settled. IT is getting now so common in the Calumet region for a new bank to start that people don't get excited any more over a new one. WOMEN juries are making a hit in the west. A jury of women not over 18 or 19 years of age, would make an awful hit anywhere. IF this suffragette business keeps up, a good housewife in the near future will be a woman who simply comes home to eat and sleep. . CHAMP Clark looks forward to the speakership with a great deal more pleasure now than he will look back to it a year from the present. MAN who is sueing for divorce, says wife doesn't know the value of money. Nothing on which to base a suit. Just a dear womanly trait, that's all. . eALDERMAN Castleman has reached the stage where he just loves It and goes down the street twiddling his thumb at bis nose at most everybody, SOMETIMES when we think about Governor Marshall we cannot help re calling what the scriptures say about "tempering the wind to the shorn lamb. THE Calumet region Is forced to admit that it leads the state in the number of railroad accidents and fa talities, but we are not bragging bout it. NEVER get fussed up when you hear that the prices of ' foodsstuffs are go ing down. They will probably never reach the place where it will do you any good. WTE would like to warn Joe rtasper to go a little easy on that ground-hog business. We have lived to see disbe lievers in the ground-hog tip very badly stung. SO anxious are we for spring that we would like to have the photo of the first chap who umpires , a baseball game this year THIS spring, we absolutely refuse to accept any alleged spring poetry unless the po-et can show up with a card proving membership in the Poets' union. AGITATION against these long hat pins still continues. About the only way to successfully meet this evil is to go around armed with a pair of barb-wire fence cutters. WIZ Burbank says that California women and eastern men are the most perfect types, but this not expected to make any difference in the number of weddings in Lake county. e - LAKE Michigan's water level at Lake Front park is eight inches less this year than it was last, but then the Fat club of Whiting has stopped tak ing baths for the present. "DON'T." says Colonel Roosevelt, "attempt to reach a higher station by climbing up on other people." You could almost hear a sob when the doughty T. R. handed that out. READ a very nice article about cheering invalids with posies. Yes great. For instance, when you have hay fever nice to have a kind friend ship you a bunch of golden rod. "FEW men would reach the top,' says the Chicago News, if they depended upon their neighbors to give them a boost." No neighbors as a rule only believe in the down-ward re 'vision of boosting,

"THIS IS MV mD BIRTHDAY" Mwn Marlon Howe. Henry Marion Howe, the distinguish ed metallurgist whom Oxford Universi ty In England has decided to honor with a degree, was born In Boston March 2. 1848, the son of the late Julia Ward Howe. He graduated from Har vard In 1869 and from the Massa chusetts Institute of Techonolgy In 1871, taking his course in mining and metallurgy. For some years after leav. ing college he -was engaged in the Bessemer process of steel manufacture in Troy, N. T. Later he devoted himself to the Investigation of copper mines In Canada and In Chili, after which he was appointed to a lecture ship in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Professor Howe made thia lectureship so important and invested it with so exceptional an expansion of knowledge and scientific Inquiry that it attracted the attention of scientists In both America and Europe, and led to his appointment, in 1897, to his pres ent position as head of the Columbia School of Mines. Heart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A. PTYB. THE VrtZK BERTH. Glory be! The Pullman Car company has re duced the price of its upper bertha. The cut was made, it 1b true, at the end of an order from tbe powers that be, and the reduction is not at big as a barn door, but it will do. Who would not climb the five steps of a ladder for perfectly good money? We took the shelf heretofore as a substitute, but nosjr many of as will go up of choice because A half dollar is 60 cents. Have you never clung to the upper. like a wrecked mariner to bis storm tossed raft, through the weary vigils of the night, the lurch of the car making the plane of your recumbency first this bias and then that, the toy of the track, and In Instant fear of being hot like a projectile through the cir cumambient atmosphere? In that hour what was your chlefest regret? Was it not the memory of the extor tion paid at the Pullman ticket window as the price of your parlous voyage? Herein was your grievance: Your grouch as a guest of the Hotel Pullman was not so much that yon had to go te a cot ia the top halL but that, occupying the place next the rafters, yon paid tbe same price as the lodger on the parlor floor. Moreover Many a time and oft, with the price In your Inside pocket, you have endured the martyrdom of the callous threatening upholstery of the chair car or doubled your indignant legs to the stubborn furniture of the day coach, and yet Rising in the early gloaming felt that you had not sufficiently punished a greedy corporation. But now Shall we not gladsomely go to our loft on high, chanting a blithesome ditty to the accompaniment of the clattering rail? Resting upon our marked down bargain, shall we not accentuate the rhythm of our echoing snores? Verily. And neither shall tbe pillow, alfalfa stuffed, nor tbe excelsior mattress, nor the scant horse blanket, disturb our dreams of the discomfiture of the Pullmans. What a patient people are we Americans! We are like the docile mule that takes the goad for years nntll h gets a chance to kick. THE DAY IN CONGRESS SEISATE. The Senate today voted that William Lorimer of Illinois was legally elected to his seat In the body. Senator Beveridge's resolution declaring that he had not been so was defeated, 46 to 40, thus deciding a case that had been before the Senate for many months. Among Senators who spoke before the vote was taken were Messrs. Owen, Simmons, Lorimer, Smith and La Follett.e. After disposing of the Lorimer case the Senate took up the agricultural appropriation bill, the permanent tariff board bill coming in. however, for a brief exchange of views. A recess was taken at 6:30 until 8 o'clock when appropriation bills were considered.

CKfH&feS SCOUTING A fierce battle was fought early In the week between a posse of white men from Reno, Nev., and a band of Indians, who were accused of slaying four wealthy ranchmen near Pyramid Lake, Nev. The fight took place on a ranch near the lake and continued for more than three hours. Nearly all of the Indians were killed, among them a squaw. One of the white men was killed. Several squaw3 and children were captured. HOISE. In the House the constitution of the new state of New Mexico was approved. The bill providing a scale of pay for the National Guard was passed, as was one providing that none of the $290,000,000 of Panama canal bonds authorized by ten Payne tariff , law should be received as security for the Issue of circulating notes. No night session was held by the House, that body being well up with its work. Recent Legal Decisions JUDICIAL NOTICE OF "THE CONTRACTING OP DISEASE BY ANIMALS. Certain Jacks were " shipped from Columbia, Tenn., to Kansas City, Mo. The shipment passed Into the control of several carriers, and it was claimed that by reason of the combined and Joint negligence of the carriers the animals were permitted to contract disease from which a number of them died. In reviewing the evidence the court of appeals of Missouri in Gillespie vs. Louisville & Nashville Railroad company, 129 Southwestern Reporter, found that there was no evidence tending to prove how long it took a jack to contract pneumonia after his exposure, and there was no testimony showing at what time the infection was communicated to the deceased animals. It is known . from common experience that some diseases develop within a certain period, and that the time is not the same In all cases, or with all diseases, but the court does not know from such exT perience and cannot take Judicial notice of the fact that pneumonia develops in a Jack within 24 or 48 hours after his exposure. In fixing liability on the carriers it was not sufficient to show that the animals standing on the track were more likely to contract pneumonia than if standing in a barn, or In a car while It was moving, but it was necessary to show that the disease was contracted by reason of the fact that they were left standing on the side track. SMALLPOX IS WASTE. Waste Is the omission of duty touching real estate by one rightfully in possession, which results In its substantial injury, so that the premises cannot revert to those having an underlying interest undeteriorated by any willful or negligent act. Without plaintiff's consent the mortgagor of certain buildings leased by them to the defendant board of health for use as a hospital for smallpox patents. Plaintiff, the mortgagee, brought action for waste. The supreme Judicial court of Massachuetts In Delano vs. Smith, 92 Northeastern Reporter, 500, holds that whfle the supposed diminution of the value of property resting on sentimental grounds arising from the dictates of custom or taste cannot constitute waste, yet the Infection of a building with smallpox, so that It cannot be used for the purpose Intended, will be waste, unless it can

RENO viated, by disinfection or otherwise, without material physical change in the building. DETECTIVES CANNOT URGE AND INDUCE ILLEGAL SALE OF LIQUOR. A Missouri statute provides that the sale of intoxicating liquors to a minor Is a violation of law. A father and minor son. detectives for the anti-saloon league, entered one Feldman's store and attempted to buy a beer. Feldman refused to sell except at wholesale, as he had a wholesale government license. The two then left. Later In the day they returned. The father, the ruling and directing spirit, stayed outside while the son bought a case of beer, not as a beverage, but as evidence of selling to minors. It appeared that the father had received money to use in their occupation of detectives for the anti-saloon league, and turned over part of it to his son; that the father accounted for the beer bought of Feldman In his report of expenses, and with his son, agreed that the son was to be pushed to the front to get Feldman to violate the law. The St. Louis court of appeals in state vs. Feldman, 129 Southwestern Reporter, 998, holds that, under the facts, the beer was sold to the father and not to the son, and that the statute was not intended to create an offense where, as In this case, accused was Induced and urged Into the commission of a crime not otherwise intended by him. UP AND DOWN IN I-N-D-I-A-N-A INSPECT RICHMOND SCHOOLS. Dr. W. F. King, representing the State Board of Health, began his Inspection of the conditions of the Richmond public schools yesterday. In some instances, it Is said, he found the ventilation not up to the standard, as had been charged by critfes here.

The franchise of the Richmond city water works soon will expire, and when the company asks for another franchise the city will ask for lower rates, free meters and Increased fire pressure, and probably a special fire main from the reservoir to the city. These points were outlined yesterday at a meeting of the Board of Works. SI ICIDES I JIDER TRAI Jf., Evidently tired of life, Arthur E, Smith, Ridgeway, Mich., calmly inscribed his name, date of birth and address in a memorandum book, replaced the
