RANDOM THINGS AND FLINGS
"WELL, it is safe to say now that
George is really king of England.
- JOEY Kealing has "got his" bo often
that once more won't make any difference.
SOME of tbesi? suffragettes could ev
idently raise lots of whiskers if they set about it.
A $2,000 DOSE OF SULPHUR AND MOLASSES.
Along in the early spring the old-fashioned mother made it a part of the yearly routine to give her children doses of sulphur and molasses. She told
them that the effect of this concoction was to purify the blood. It was used
as a tonic, a sort of a renovator of the human body.
The indictment of Thomas E. Knotts and his satellites and the trial of
the conspiracy cases did cost the county of Lake considerable money, but it i
was tbe best blood purifier that was ever administered to the local body politics and is worth every cent that it cost. The physical condition of Lake county has been bad. A boil had broken out on East Chicago and Gary was covered with carbuncles. There were bad , blotches on other parts of the county. Lake county needed to be purified. The case needed no careful diagnosis. Corruption was in evidence everywhere. Knotts was charged with having w.on the mayoralty election by a clever scheme of ballot mutilation. He had surrounded himself with such men as "Dog Face Charley" and other skimmings of scum. The situation was bad and was growing worse. In this emergency Dr. McMahon held a consultation with Dr. Grant and 'Dr. Whinery and it was decided that what Lake county needed was a good, liberal dose of sulphur and molasses. The first dose was administered by the grand jury and the second at the trial at Valparaiso. The stuff was hard to take, but enough of it was crammed down the throat of the patient to do some good. And now some of the democratic papers of the county or objecting to paying the doctor's bill. They have exaggerated the cost of the trial ridiculously. Two thousand dollars would cover the expenses, while they claim that it cost 15,000. But what if it did. The patient has been benefited. The methods that were used by Knotts in the last campaign will never be attempted again. He has found that it does not pay in the long run. East Chicago is now making funny grimances in anticipation of taking its dose. The purification process has been applied to republicans and democrats alike. And let this fact be remembered. Whenever the courts of Lake county and those upon whom devolves the duty of initiating prosecutions of this character balk at the expense, the community will become so rotten with corrup
tion that the cure will cost ten times what this $2,000 dose of sulphur and
molasses has cost.
PERHAPS IT IS THE HEAT.
Dedicating its $50,000 Commercial club, getting ready to open its quarter of a million dollar Y. M. C. A. home, building 436 homes for bridge makers
and tin plate workers at a cost of $1,500,000, announcing the opening of three
residential streets and two small business centers, starting a new park, open-
jing an axle mill and getting ready to start twenty-two sheet and tin plate
mills. This is some of the news that came out of Gary yesterday.
If any one doesn't think that Gary isn't getting there, let him look over today's and yesterday's TIMES. That was an awful lot of big things to tell about, but its true, nevertheless. Everything that Gary does comes In fast
'spasms and this spasm is certainly a golden one for the city.
THE GOUGE OF THE ICE TRUST.
This is the season of the year when the Ice companies In the trust pro
ceed to put on the screws in ouch a way that makes one feel sure they know
the grand Juries have all adjourned. i
The raise in price and the short-weighting, of which bo many instances are complained, are such as to make the average consumer lose patience
with the rapacity of the trust
There is not a commodity on tne market that is such a necessity at this time of the year as Is Ice and in the homes of the poor it alone, in many instances, can keep death away. The man who buys fifty to one hundred pounds of ice has a right to get fifty or one hundred pounds, and every ice
consumer should have scales and Insist on getting his money's worth.
WHAT MAKES REPUBLICANS SORE.
The republicans of Indiana have no criticism to make about the presence
of Former Vice President Fairbanks, Senator Hemenway and Former Govern
or Durbm at tne iunctions accoraea president Tart In Indiana recently.
These men are loyal republicans. What the republican workers of tbe state take offense at, however, was the presence of Joe Kealing there. We would like to have some one tell us what Joe Kealing has done for the republican
party In Indiana for the past four years? We would like to know what re
publican candidate be has supported. One of the strongest assets that the
democratic party In Indiana has today Is Joe Kealing. -
Up and Down in INDIANA
OH take it easy, take it easy, in less
than no time you will be looking for that snow shovel.
POET asks: "Is She Calling Me?"
She is not, but she will just as soon as
breakfast is ready.
YOU can take it for granted that the
prudish girls always knows a lot of
things that she shouldn't.
PEOPLE are divided into two
classes the touchy and those who
can't be touched at all. ,
THAT must be a great job, the
Bhrievality, with a dozen candidates in
Lake county after it already. -
AND anyway, If it came to a showdown between Lafollette and Wilsor,
the latter has our best wishes.
EAST Chicago man says he would rather be run over by an ice wagon
than an automobile this weather.
FIRST it was the grizzly bear, next the turkey trot, then the barrel hoop
hug, the See kiss and what next?
THAT Hammond man who gave 50-
cent tips whenever be bought a
cent drink, is certainly sunstruck.
IF the farmers were as easily fright
ened as Wall street, wouldn't there be a bunch of hungry people in this coun
try?
NOTED London woman got a di
vorce and then nervous prostration.
Well, ycu simply can't please some of them.
. . LORD, what a fearful thing it Is to
be like some people around here, born with a perpetual grouch that no liver
pill can help.
- HOPE that the question. "What Is
Beer?" will be settled more satisfactorily than was the great problem,
What Is Whiskey?" - HOWEVER, do not worry about the
racing game coming back, The nothing doing sign was hung up in Lake county long ago for that.
"HEAVEN in peace, joy, triumph and
happiness," says Henry Van Dyke. Then why can't it be established here on earth so a fellow will not have to
die to enjoy it?
NOTICE from number of exchanges
that a diligent search for the Indiana
part of Lafollette's boom is being kept up. Why not write to Rudy Leeds and be done with it?
r SENATOR Kern says conditions in
Illinois were rotten. Of course, since Kern was elected things in Indiana are not nearly so rotten as when he stirred
up those bribery charges.
A
HAMMOND man who entered vigor

killed three flies so far this summer,
struck at 27,340, broke two valuable vases and cut his thumb on a piece of

S 1 7r".00 FOR A HUSBAND. The Fort Wayne and Northern In
diana Traction company made a et-
Uemont with Mrs. W. D. Burgan of
BlufCton, for the death of her husband and injuries to herself in the Klngland
interurban wreck last September, when forty-three people were killed. She receives $17,500. Mr. Burgan was instantly killed and Mrs. Burgan was in a condition so critical that for week she was not informed of the death of
her husband.
OPERATION IS FATAL. Frank J. Irwin, 60 years old, a
bachelor, head of the Salem Bank and
Goshen Lumber Company, at Goshen, and one. of the" wealthiest men In the
locality, died yesterday arternoon in a Chicago hospital, where he was a few
days ago operated on for Intestinal
trouble. Mr. Irwin had been 111 for
several months and the operation was the last resort to save his life. It is
estimated that his estate Is worth
about $500,000. Mr. Irwin owned the
Irwin Opera House from 1890 until
1903 and was actiely engaged as man
ager. He had a wide professional ac
quaintance. Mr. Irwin's sole surv'iver is one sister, Mrs. May Irwin Baker, wife of Francis E. Baker, judge of the United States Circuit Court. CLEVELAND'S UOtBLE DIES. Clark Black, who was famed as a double for the late President Cleveland, died In the hospital at Lafayette yesterday. He was born In 1848, and In the presidential campaigns of the early nineties was In demand throughout the state at big Republican rallies. He appeared on a big float In the attitude of a fisherman, and many thought he was the distinguished Democratic President. CURED BY 30 DAYS FASTING. Word has been received from Alhambra, Cal.. of the remarkable cure of Mrs. Walter A. Jenson, a former resident of Laporte, of a complication of
diseases by a fast of thirty consecutive
days. Mrs. Jenson Is a daughter of E. W. Gleason, who was formerly connected with a newspaper in Laporte, and who Is now residing at North Vernon,
Ind., and a sister of James Gleason, of
the Michigan City Dispatch. Mrs. Jenson fasted for thirty days, during that
time taking no solid or liquid nourishment except hot and cold water. She is very enthulsastlc over the treatment, which during the past year has been recommended by many physicians and health authorities, and is overjoyed at her recovery. HOUSE AND I)Vn BURNS. While the family of ITobias Milllgan, living about five miles south of Franklin, near the Plzgah neighborhood, was away from home, yesterday afternoon, the house and barn and all outbuildings except the chicken house were destroyed by tire. Four horses In tha barn were rescued. One was burned to death. The fire originated In a straw stack. The loss amounts to $4,000, with $2,500 Insurance. SALESMAN KILLS HIMSELF. Without leaving a written explanation of any kind as to his motive. Carl Koch, thirty-five years old, city salesman for the American Dairy company, at Indianapolis, went to his home and, after lying down in the front room, shot himself through the heart. Life was extinct when Koch was found. Mrs. Koch could throw no light on her husband's motive. WHEAT CROP EXCELLENT. The largest wheat yield ever befor
known In Brown County Is reportel
this year. J. L Tilson, a Brown Coun
ty farmer, near Columbus, thrashed
thirty-one bushels per acre from a field of thirty acres. The largest yield reported In Bartholomew County thi year Is thirty bushels per acre. The present drought and hot winds have already done much damage to the corn crop of Bartholomew County and unless there is rain within a few days the crop Is doomed. The dry weather, it is said. Is favorable to the melon .crop and It will 'be abundant. Melons ale
just now ripening In this county. Th
Irish potato crop Is almost a failure because of the dry weather of the last few weeks. RETIRED FARMF.R MURDERED. Peter Larsen, wealth retired farmer.
whose body was found floating in a cistern at his home t Fowler a short time ago, met death at some one elses hand, according to the report of the grand jury. The evidence, says the report, was not sufficient to fix the crime
on any certain person. Coroner LePage
after his Inquest, returned a verdict of
suicide.

The TIMES Will help you to Satisfy Uncle Sam in this Particular
Hammond Post Office By drectlon of the Post Office Department, the attention of patrons of this office is invited to the advantages of providing facilities for the receipt of their mail by erecting conveniently accessible boxes or cutting suitable slots In their doors. Such action would enable the postmaster to give a prompter and better delivery service with the means at his disposal, since the carriers can cover much more territory In less time if not compelled to wait for an answer of their ring. Private receptacles for mail are also a great convenience to the householder, obviating the necessity of responding to the carrier's call at inconvenient moments and permitting safe delivery of mail In the absence of members of the household. They also prevent the occasional necessity of a carrier's proceeding on his route without delivering mail because a failure to answer his ring within a reasonable time, and enable him to make deliveries to patrons living on or near the end of the route at an earlier hourj It has been shown by actual experience that the benefits derived by patrons of city delivery from the use of such receptacles far outweigh the small expense involved. As this office is interested in furnishing the best possible service at the least expense, your compliance with the foregoing suggestions will be much appreciated. Respectfully, F. R. SCWAAF, Postmaster.
The Postmaster General will ask for a law to go into effect at the close of the year, requiring everybody who receives mail by carrier to have a mail box at his door. i To help its patrons prepare for this law at very little or no expense, THE TIMES has purchased a large supply of MAIL BOXES, to be distributed to any of the paper's patrons who arrange for them promptly. The boxes which THE TIMES will put out are of the latest approved patterns, that are entirely acceptable to the Postoffice Department. They are provided with a large locked receptacle for letters, cards and other mail, and are recommended by the Postmaster, One of these Boxes will be given ABSOLUTELY FREE to any one paying one year's subscription in advance, OR a Box to any one paying six months' subscription and 30 cents, OR you can secure one of these boxes bv cutting out and presenting at THE TIMES'"' office six (6) of the "MAIL BOX COUPONS" (that are now appearing in THE TIMES) with 50 cents.
