the Gary Evening Post claims the proud distinction of having first printed
the story that the Chicago, Indiana & Southern planned to run into Evans

THE TIMES printed this story on the evening of Thursday, June 15,
nearly a month ago. Following THE TIMES' "scoop" the Chicago Inter

It would be a great thing for Indiana could it have a presidential can

Being a republican, of course, we are a little doubtful about Governor Marshall's strength even In his own party, for he has In some way offended some of the little dwarfed souls and peanut politicians In it, when he deserves the full support of the party. Governor Marshall is the biggest democrat in Indiana, if some of his own party do not thinkso. Some of them stray after false gods, and while they are smirking on the governor and patting him on the back, It is simply to find a place where they can ' slip a dirk between his ribs.

Now, an infant in the cradle should have known that a fight between Langford and Caponi would prove too tough a proposition for Kenosha to contemplate; that East Chicago, Ind., would never stand for a "Chicago in

boxing matches and on Sunday, too than the lake front is for bull fighting. Yet the geniuses for promotion went right along looking toward those impossible ends, and now, doubtless, are whining that "everything would
have been all right if it vasnt for the knockers." That's what General
Weyler said about his policy In Cuba. H.E.K. in Chicago Tribune.

WE can tolerate almost any sort of a "fake" news story once in a while, but the one going the rounds to the effect that a Denver woman invited a burglar to take a drink and then played a game of card with him to see wehther he should rob the house, is a little too-far-fetched.

Otto Pea of Vincennes, aged 18 years old, was drowned In Snapp's Creek. The body was found In three feet of water by the boy's father, Emery Pea, and Andrew Pea, an uncle, after a twelve hours' search.

The Evening Chit-Chat liy RUTH OAJVlERON
"I always intend to do so much In my summer vacation reading and studying and things like that, I mean
but when I look back at the end of
the summer It always seems to me as
if I hadn't done much of anything.
I've read a book here and a book there and a lot of magazines and that's all."
A teacher said that to me the other
day.
Every fall I hear that wall or words
to that effect from someone.
I also seem to remember that when had long vacations myself I often
made a similar moan.
Now, I often wonder 1f the trouble
Isn't that while we "plan to do so
much" we don't plan to do anything
definite.
Wouldn't It be a good idea for sum
mer reading to make a resolution to
read all or all of the best of some
worth-while author Stevenson or Emerson or Lamb or Thackery or George
Eliot, for instance; or if you prefer the moderns, all of Benson's or Agnes Repplier's essays or Meredith's novels or Barrie's books.
Perhaps you enjoy biography? Then
why not pick out half a dozen men and women whom you are vaguely Interested in and promise yourself to read their lives. I have just read Stevenson by Balfour and, I assure you, it was as Interesting as many novels and much more Inspiring.
If you have never read Les Miser-
ables you might attack that this summer.
Or, if your mind turns to sterner tasks and you want to really study, don't promise yourself to look Into half
a dozen subjects, but select some on and really do something with It. Learn something about science that has hitherto been a closed book to you. Get a simple text-book or chemistry or astronomy or botany or aoology and open a door into a new world.Or, promise yourself that you will read a dozen good books on hypnotism and clairvoyance and the other manifestations of the unknown world Into which science is trying to peek. Or, if you are an average person, perhaps It might not be amiss you to review one or two of those grammar school studies that you have completely forgotten or never properly learned. I say "an average person" because I don't know one person In ten of the younger generation who has more than a hazy Idea of geography, and the other day I put the question to a roomful of people. "What is an improper fraction and not one of them knew for sure. So an arithmetic, a grammar and rhetoric, or a good old fashioned geography might not be a bad companion for the summer vacation for most of us. One word more. If possible, promise yourself to devote just so muck time each day to your task. It will not tire you too much. That Is, unless you are a complete nervous wreck. Instead, it will probably give a sweetness and a value and character to the hours of leisure which they would otherwise lack. In a picture there can be no high lights unless there are shadows. It's just the same in life. RUTH CAMERON.
FLUID CAUSES FATAL BURNS. While carrying a can of gasoline from a burning hamberger stand. Captain John Toelle of Evansville was so seriously burned that his death is believed to be a question of hours. The gasoline exploded, converting him Into a human torch. Except one foot, every part of his body was burned. The fire destroyed John Kare's saloon and two adjoining buildings, with a loss of $4,000. It started from blazing grease In the Parry hamburger stand. KILLS WIFE IN FAMILY ROW. John M. Nolan, 61 years old, a night watchman in the Pennsylvania railroad
freight house at Fort Wayne, shot and killed his wife, 63 years old, and tried to kill himself. The bullet grazed his head and he suffered nothing more serious than a scalp wound. Nolan had been drinking heavily of late, and the couple had quarreled frequently.
After a quarrel Nolan walked Into the yard, where his wife was doing the family washing, and began firing at her with a revolver. One bullet took effect in her left lung just below the heart. After killing his wife Nolan lay down beside her body and fired a
