NO VIOLENCE WANTED.
Hammond is the center of labor disaffection at present in the Calumet region and while there is a tendency on the part of some to make idle threats of violence and to use might instead of right, the results have been

DENATURED PRIZE FIGHTS. A bill has been passed by the Illinois senate authorizing beautiful, hand painted, six round prize fights. Slugging under this proposed law would be too perfectly sweet for anything. Croquet would be coarse, brutal and dangerous by comparison. At least, this is the impression that the advocates of the bill wish the public to get. The fact of the matter is, of course, that this measure legalizing prize fights of the sweetly pastoral sort will be useful to every thick necked gentleman who chooses to get up an "athletic club" and then to ignore the idyllic terms under which he can lawfully match his pugilists in the ring. Is Illinois so little advanced in sense and decency as to put on its statute books a prize fight law scented with eau de cologne for the deliberate purpose of giving the sports the chance to break it with impunity? Public opinion ought to wake m and demand the defeat of this piece of rowdy legislation. Chicago Daily News. v
Our unusually alert Governor Marshall for some reason or other has seen fit to close his eye and permit these beautiful exhibitions of physical culture. As far as Lake county is concerned these matches have been slugging matches
pure and simple. And the worst of it is, there thick-necked gentlemen, the
promoters of the scientific are, are coming across the state line and reaping
the benefits.

Although she suffered intensely, she proceeded with the performance, the audience not realizing why her face and hands were in bandages. OUTLOOK FOR CROPS IS FIXE. The general outlook for the Grant County farmer for the coming season is one of the best in the history of th county and a banner crop is expected in nearly every grain adapted to this climate. The winter which was unusually warm, did no damage to the wheat crop or clover and other grasses. The acreage for wheat is larger than last year. The outlook for oats Is nt
so favorable, as wet weather has delayed sowing. The corn crop will be larger than In former years and undoubtedly will be the banner crop of
the season. A banner crop in fruit also is expected, as spring weather has not
been dangerous to buds.
