The Day in HISTORY
WHEN WE WERE ALL M'GINTYS.
Those who are familiar with the country districts of Northern Lake
county hayo' probably noticed that there are three enormous ridges extend
lng across the county from a point in Illinois to a point several miles west
of Chesterton in Porter county. The first of these ridges extends through
Ilessville in an easterly direction to Tolleston. It has been given the name
"Tolleston Beach." The second of the ridges is familiar to hundreds of au
tomobilists as being the route of the famous "Ridge Road" from Highlands to Hobart. This is known as the "Calumet Beach." The third ridge extends eastward threugh Dyer and then in a north easterly direction through
GriQth and Ross. It Is known as tho "Glenwood Beach."
To the ordinary person these ridges are merely wooded or sandy 'ele
vations and are given little thought, but to the student of geology, the science
which treats of the structure of the earth, the history of the various rock and soil formations and the causes of their existence, these ridges are won
derfully interesting. They are called beaches are in truth the shores of an enormous lake which at one time covered the entire northern portion of Lake and Porter counties. At one time the shores ot this lake, which geologists call Lake Chicago, extended as far south as Dyer, Schererville, Merrlllville and Alnsworth. A beach was thrown up along this shore and accounts for the high ridges of ground in this vicinity- Glenwood beach was the result. Then thousands and thousands of years ago the lake receded to a point near the Ridge road. For a few thousand years more the waves of Lake Chicago piled up sand and gravel until Calumet beach, or ridge, was thrown up. Again the lake receded until its shores extended through Hessvllle and Tolleston. For scores of centuries more the winds and waves piled up the sand until another ridge was formed and this is called Tolleston Beach. Then finally the lake receded to the present shores of Lake Michigan. There are so many Interesting things about the geology of Lake and Porter counties that it Is strange more thought and attention is not given to this subject in
the schools. For instance, very few people know that thousands and perhaps hundreds of thousands of years ago that a great sheet of ice covered the entire country north of us and that this enormous mass of ice moved southward, that it carried with it enormous quantities of stone, dirt, etc., and piled It up into an enormous ridge that extends from Crown Point to Valparaiso. This ridge is known as the Valparaiso moraine and is actually an enormous dam which holds the waters of Lake Michigan. This is a national i water shed and at a point at the fair grounds near Crown Point a stream of water spilled on the ridge would go down one side to Beezer creek, thence to Deep river, thence into the Little Calumet river, thence into Lake Michigan and on through the St. Lawrence river to the Atlantic ocean, while that which was spilled on the other side of the ridge would go Into Cedar creek, thence into the Kankakee river, thence into the Illinois river, thence into the Ohio river and on into the Mississippi river and to the Gulf of Mexico. There are many other interesting things about the geology of Lake county. Few people realize the extent of the clay industry in this locality, not
. many have enquired Into the formation of sand dunes. When its geology is known, Lake county is one of the most interesting places In the entire country. It makes a strange appeal to the imagination to think that thousands of years ago Hammond, East Chicago, Gary and Whiting were all In the midst of a great shallow lake and that the nearest land was eight miles
away. Even today it may be truthfully said that we are living on the bottom of the sea, for the whole Calumet region is the bottom of what geologists
have since called Lake Chicago.

was born in Kenton, Ohio, May 26, 1865 He graduated from Ohio Normal Uni

RANDOM THINGS AND FLINGS
LIMB VS. LEG.
We find It necessary to take decided objections to the following from a
men's sartorial journal: ' The lower limb below the knee is beautiful, and why men should be ashamed of it is past our comprehension. We are warned against hiding our light under a bushel, and the injunction holds equally good against hiding our lower limbs in the concertina tubes of a pair of trousers. Why "limb" forsooth? Isn't the old word "leg" good and expressive enough. The word "limb
irom me Angio-baxon denoted first a part of a tree. The prudish people who
refer to the limb of a piano, the old school teacher who asked the boy about
the limb of a triangle are more to be pitied than censured.
Incidentally it recalls the story of the good old lady who an asked how
she was feeling, replied quite mournfully that she was on her last limbs.
HOPE that the graduating dress will
be done on time.
A GOOD husband never ought to
play poker unless he wins.
DON'T mind being called cussed, but
who is the peevish one?
TACOMA is to hold her fourth re
call election. You notice we said Ta
coma, not Gary.
SOME people have to be good to Mr,
Knotts. Mr. Knotts knows a few
things.
NO struggle nowadays how to keep
the golden rule. Every effort Is made
to bend it.
UJNDEK.STAND mat Mexican gov
ernment is tottering. Oh let her tot.
who cares?
THE women Butfragettes ought to
chip in and do a turn for poor old
Phoebe Couzins.
AT last the beautiful country! "Oh
wende, wende, deinen Lauf; In Thale
blueht der Fruehllng auf."
IT is possible that East Chicago
man, who tried to drown out the po
lice, was after an immunity bath.
BILLY Sunday just pulled $15,000 out of a six weeks' stay in Toledo and
he never pegged a baseball either.
TOLD you to get a muzzle for Fido
long ago. Now two children have beeD

. NO use trying to hurry the supreme
court and the tobacco decision, says

ran out of fine cut. .
Tut; Dest tnmg to do for young Croak would be to put him where the dogs will never get a chance to bite
him.
A POLICEMAN who can put a bul
let in a burglar, a few days after he
Joins the force, is entitled to seri
ous consideration.
MILLER MADE NO MISTAKE.
The progress that Miller has made in donning the perogatlves and privileges of a little municipality since she refused to be tied to Gary's apron
strings, has been marked. In the opening up of another thoroughfare be
tween the town and Lake Michigan, 100 feet In width, the board of trustees
shows that it is building for the future.
Many people nave laughed and even scoffed at Miller when she gave Gary the cold shoulder, but subsequent events prove that the officials there were right in asking what benefit It would be for Miller to be tied up to a city at whose officials the questioning finger has been pointed? Miller was
w-ise in refusing to be governed by such practices as have obtained in Gary,
PITTSBURG councilman is on trial

how few convictions.
Up and Down in INDIANA
FINDS NEEDLES IN ANKLE. As Mrs. Peter Whalen or Loganspor:
was pulling on her stockings yesterday
morning her hand was pricked. Sh found a needle point protruding from the flesh at her ankl.
Mrs. Whalen says that about eighteen
ears ago she became suddenly excited
while holding a needle in her mouth.
When the excitement was over the
needle was tone. but she alwavs
hought that It had dropped on the
floor. She had suffered from ralns in
er left leg, but , thought they were
rheumatic until the needle was removed.
SAYS WIFE BARS FOLKS. The delicate question of whether the
bjectlon of a wife to her husband's
folka" Is Efficient grounds for the hus
band to obtain a divorce must be set
tled by the circuit court soon. Benjamin W. E. Jennens of Muncie sued Ada Jennens for divorce and alleged that his wife mistreated his relatives because she did not like them, and
ometimes refused them admission to
is home. Jennens obtained a restrain
ing order to prevent his wife from
leaving the state with their three chll-
ren pending trial. EJECTED AS A BLRGLAR. . William F. Martin of Lawrenceburg,
age twenty-nine, an express wagon driver, living In Center township a
omnambullst, dressed and went to the
home of a friend, Jesse W. Brooks, a mile away, entered the building by a
rear door and went to a bedroom on the second floor w'iile asleep. He was
discovered by Brooks and wife sleeping
in their bed In Ignorance of his whereabouts.
Believing Martin to be a burglar
Brooks and his wife attacked him and
after a struggle Martin was thrown out of the window. His right leg was broken above the knee. When Brooks dis
covered that he had injured his friend instead of a burglar Martin was taken to his home.
DRAGS COMPANION WITH HER. Mrs. Ida Payton of Bedford attempt
ed to commit suicide by Jumping off a
thirty-five-foot ledeg Into an abandon
ed quarry beneath. Miss Inez Prather,
16-year-old girl, who was with her
and who attempted to hold back, was
dragged over the side or the ledge. .The
two women fell forty feet into about four feet of water, which broke the force- of the fall and saved them from Instant death. Both are badly hurt. No reason is given for the attempt at suicide, except that Mrs. Payton had been suffering from mental trouble, and.
fearing that she would make Just such an attempt. Miss Prather had been employed to watch her.
STl'DENT DIES IN BATH TIB. Death came at noon yesterday to
Irvin Mlnneman, 18' years old, a fresh.
man student of Indiana University, whose home is at Logansport, while he was taking a bath at his room at the residence of Mrs. George V. Munson, East Fourth street, and whether It was an accident or a suicide the county coroner, Dr. J. V. Kentling, Is a yet unable to say. j The young man did not attend school yesterday, making the complaint to his roommate, Bernlce Hutchlns of Sheridan, that he was suffering from a se-. vere cold. He asked Hutchlns to go to a drug store and get him some quinine, and upon the return of Hutchlns said
that he would take the medicine and
then a hot bath. Hutchlns left his roommate at 9 o'clock, at which time,
he says, Mlnneman was in good spirits.
MERIDITH HELD FOR Ml' II DER. Jacob Merldlth, ot Jeffersonville,
