TRACTION MATTERS IN LAKE COUNTY. John A. Shafer and his fellow promoters of the Indianapolis, Chicago & Meridian railway have been given a street railway franchise by the Gary
board of public works. Without doubt the common council will ratify the grant. Mr. Shafer will then have no obstacle in the way of making good
the promise to start immediate construction upon the Gary-Valparaiso di
vision. The company did not ask for rights in one street only. If it did not got one that will give a route almost
that the franchise is a long-term grant, for fifty years, it is a fair one as far as either the city or the utility corporation is concerned. The promoters
have been successful in their Gary quest. They say that they have a right
of-way in Porter county and the granting of franchises there and in the
city of Valparaiso are merely contingenti upon the Gary grant. If so, we

Up and Down in INDIANA RECALLS VVCY MIRDER. There was an echo of the mysterious and unsolved Joseph Lucy murder case at the trial of Earl Dubois, at Richmond, charged with robbing the Jones store at Milton. Miss Emma Gunsaulus related a conversation wIch she alleged she overhears between her brother, Guy Gunsaulus, and Dubois on. the night of the robbery, Dubois, she said, was urging her brother to come to Richmond and get a "Jimmy." Gun saulus. the witness said, declared he was afraid to tackle the Job. To this Dubois replied, according to Miss Gunsaulus: "Oh! I'm not afraid. -for I have been in scrapes before and never was caught. I killed old man Lury, and they did not get me." Dubois, on taking the stand, flatly denied that any mrh conversation took place with any person. Joseph Lucy was murdered four years aa:o. Lucy was a recluse and was known to have considerable money. One morning his body was fnund in the house. His head had been mashed with a club and the house was in disorder, indicating that robbery had been the motive for the crime. The murderers failed to find Lucy's" secreted wealth. D1DXST LIKE THE FARM. Because her husband refused to give up his farm and move to Elwood or some other large town, Mrs. Alexander Meyers, a young bride of Florida, a village near Anderson, sold the household furniture during the husband's absence Saturday and, taking $25 which he had given her. came to Anderson and engaged rooms, she was found attending a picture show at Anderson yesterday by the husband, but refused to return, and he went back saying he would slick to Ills job and she could come home when he tr'fcw tired or lonesome.

Eleventh Article.) A great stride forard will hav'e been made when in every state of the Union there are laws requiring the equitable distribution of the profits of cooperative endeavor, control of societies by members, publicity of all important acts, an dconflnlng the use of the word cooperative" to concerns that meet these requirements. Good laws alone will not solve the problem. Some associations are eminently successful under the ordinary corporation laws, some will fail under any legal system that can be devised. The successful conduct of a cooperative society require intelligence, business capaity and honesty. The cooperative society in Its best sense Is not a revolt against oppression or unjust exactions. It is a business sytem. It vurpose Is the promotion of the three big "Rs:" Economy, Efficiency and Elimination of waste. Cooperation is not a cure-all; it will not solve every problem; it will not solve any problem unless it ia handled properly and wisely. Successful cooperation does not mean monoply. Few attempts by cooperators to monopolize their product hava been successful. I know of none that have been successful for an extended period. The American people need to be educated regarding the value and practice of cooperation. It should be taught in the schools, especially In the agricultural schools, as it is now In some of the agricultural schools of Europe. What Americans most need is the cooperative point of view.

Mrs, Bridget Burk, of Lafayette, 80 years old, while attending the funeral of a friend yesterday was thrown from a buggy and fatally injured. She was riding with her son, John Burk, when the horse ran away. Mrs. Burk was thrown over the dashboard and injured internally. The accident occurred four miles west of Lafayette during the funeral of Mrs. Mary Kelly of Otterbeln. BODY POUND IN WILLOWS. ' The body of Henry Wallace, of Princeton, who was drowned in White River, near Hasleton, nine miles north of Prlneeton last Friday, was recovered by searchers yesterday. The find was made about 100 yards from where the drowning decurred, In a clump of willows. Wallace and two "companions were crossing the river on a raft loaded with cabbage.

On that day Alvin C. Hart, of Indianapolis, and Miss Chaney will be married, at the bride's home, in Montpelier. October 13 is also Friday, and Miss Chaney has seen to it that the wedding guests will number thirteen. Mr. Hart has never had much to do with the number thirteen, but he is smilingly confident that no evil can come from the whim of his flnancs. He ia an instructor at the Indianapolis Business university. Miss Chaney is the daughter of a hardware merchant In Montpelier. Following the wedding they will live at the Plasa flats, in Indianapolis. LETTERS BIBXED ON CHILD. Robert Purcell, the two-year-old son of D. J.

Brown, aged sixteen, was a section band on the Milwaukee road. In the evenings he stayed around the telegraph office, where the obliging agent permitted Mm to practice on the key. He mastered telegraphy. In a little while young Brown was a telegraph operator. Soon he was known as the best operator on his division. When he was twenty-two years of age he was a train dispatcher on the "Q" system, with headquarters at Burlington-Then came an opportunity. One Sunday night la midwinter a fierce blizzard swept over the middle west. In the railroad yards at East Burlington were some 300 loads of catUe. Unless they could be got into the sheds the Burlington road would lose' thousands of dollars. It was none of Brown's business. But When his day's work was done he went to the superintendent and asked for the job of taking care of the live stock. He said he was once a section band and knew just what to do and how to do it ' The next morning T. J. Potter, then head of the Burlington system, came down to the superintendent's office. He saidt v "Things are pretty bad over at the east yards, I suppose." , "They would hare been but for that young train dispatcher." Potter was told how young Brown had volunteered to get the cattle out of the cars Into the sheds and of his success. . "What is his name? Aman like that is worth watching." After that incident Brown went up rapidly chief train dispatcher, train master, superintendent, general maneger. He did not know it. but while he was reaching up for the rounds of the ladder Tom Totter was behind pushing bim. Then came rice presidencies, and now he is the executive chief of the great New York Central, actual head of the Vanderbilt system. Moral.
