DEAD beats and sugar beets seem to be easy to raise in these parts, ac-, cording to the statistics. EUGENE Purtelle is still flying be tween the devil and the deep blue sea down south of the Kankakee riven FORT Wayne manufacturers are howling like crazy men for girls. They have nothing on our manufacturers hitherabouts. WE don't believe In neglected -wives. A neglected wife has only her own self to blame for it. No woman needs to be neglected. THE Hobart W. C.T.

VOICE OF PEOPLB LETTER FROM MR. DAVIS. Crown Point, Ind., Oct. 13. Editor Tucks, Hammond, Ind. Dear Sir: My attention has been called to a reference to myself, made In the Issue of you paper of Saturday last. 1 beg to say that I have no recollection o,f having been interviewed by any member of your staff or having talked with any of them, directly, about the Interurban Ra'lway proposed to connect Gary and Crown Point. I think your use of my name in this connection will have the effect of misleading my friends In Crown Point as to my atti tude In the matter. I will say now that my attitude Is the same that It ever has been and that is, I believe that Crown Point, as a city, should lend itself to the establishing of an Inter urban railway to Hammond, where dozens of railways can be made use of to reach Chicago quickly. I believe that. Chicago means more to Crown Point than any other connection It could make by means of interurban service. Chicago, aside from being one of the largest cities in the world, is absolute ly the most remarkable city in the world. No such growth has even been known and it Is my belief that It is destined to be the largest city on the face of the earth. So the quicker Crown Point is put in quick touch with the nerve force that Is creating this wonderful city the better. There Is no other section of the country surround ing Chicago that is so much isolated from that city and feels so little Its stimulating influence, as is that portion of which Crown Point is the centre. With a service, such as I Indicate above, many citizens of Chicago, particularly of the south end, would seek homes in and about Crown Point. The location being on the ridge between the valleys of the Calumet and the Kankakee riv ers, is particularly healthy. The school system of Indiana, admitted the best in the United States, makes it particularly attractive to parents. Now that the Sag canal is under process of construe tion, the south end of Chicago, once the canal finished, will come Into great de mand, both for residence and business purposes. I wish you would give my views the prominence in your columns that you did my supposed remarks In last Sat urday's Times. I also think that for further connec tion with the Indiana suburban railway cervice connection with Chicago by the most direct route is worth to Crown Point one hundred Garys. W. J. DAVIS. ABOUT THOSE- BARGAINS. Hammond, Ind., Oct. 13. Editor Times: At the head of the eight page rf your Thursday's Issue stands a $10 cash prize proposition. I fancy you have had few contestants, and it may be that many of your readers have, like myself refrained from entering the race for the proffered coin, because of the fact that it is an offer with a string to It, and they don't like the string. For Instance, suppose a contestant for the prize de sires to give it as his opinion that the Straube Piano Co. is offering the best bargain advertised on your Thursday's 8th page. According to the conditions imposed he must needs repair to- the company's store at 629 Hohman street and well, "Look over all the ads," says you, "and pick out the bargain that looks best to you. Go to the store anJ make your purchase and then write The Times why It Is the best f bargain." So the Straube partisan would have to tote home a piano if he hope to benevolently asimilate The Times' hard earned coin, whether he needed a piano or not. I have nothing but the kindest feeling for my neighbor, Wiedergott, the
harness maker on South Hohman street
but confound the luck, I am not the naPPy possessor of anvthinsr that looki like a horse and so have no possible use for a harness or even a currycomb; nor am I In need of hardware of any sort, nor can I find room In my kitchen ior one or the N. I. Co.'s gas stoves witn its valuable and original copper reflector got one gas stove now. You see, you folks of The Times make it! mighty hard for an ambitious young man to pick up an honest dollar. Now take my case for Instance. I know positively and beyond question which is by far the most alluring and valuable bargain on your 8th page, but bless your heart, I've no earthly chance of winning a share of that prize money oy teuing about It, because, you see, the party offering what I consider the best bargain is not a merchant, nor does he own or run a store. If you nad stated that the best description of the best bargain offered by any "adver tiser" on said 8th page I should have been In the running. As it is, however, that string is too much in evidence. Still, as I've said so much, I may as well get the whole matter off my mind and out of my system, prise or no prize, and here it Is. Listen: Hammond is a wonderful city; how wonderful not one In a hundred even of us who live here have yet begun to realise, and its future Is assured beyond question. To purchase real estate, then. in or about Hammond, is not an experi ment but an evidence of profound wisdom, and the man or men, firm or corporation that has sufficient faith In the future of this city to purchase and open up tracts of land and then ocer that land to home-seekers at a reasonable rate, are offering the greatest of all bargains because they are bargains that increase in value the longer you keep them. $o. If I had a look-in on this prixe money proposition I should most certainly affirm and declare that of all advertisers on your Thursday's 8th page. J. S. Biackmun & Co. is the firm that offers to the people of Hammond the better bargains. And I don't know what they're asking for their lots, and I don't care, for I know If they get too gay In their price they won't get it, like some other folks I know of. Confound it, J. S.. why couldn't you have owned a store? A READER. (Reader's arguments are knocked In to a cocked hat with the simple state ment that you can go to the Straube Piano Store and buy a bargain for as small a sum as 5 cents and you don't have to own a horse to deal at Wledergott's. ADV. M GR.) Up and Down in INDIANA ATTEMPTS TO BREAK JAIL, The Bartholomew County Grand Jury inspected the County Jail at Columbus Saturday and when the members entered they surprised William Hale, colored, sawing a bar In an effort to escape. Edward Monroe, white, was doing lookout duty for the negro. When the sheriff and Jurors appeared the saw disappeared and could not be found. The grand Jury reported Saturday and within Ave minutes after the report was read two men indicted were sentenced to State Prison. They were William Hale, colored, who pleaded guilty to burglary, and Charles Reeves of Indianapolis, who pleaded guilty to forgery. The latter was sentenced to from two to fourteen years in the Indiana State Prison ami the former for the same time in the Indiana Reformatory. HIGH SCHOOL GIRL SUICIDES. Miss Wilma Burns, age eighteen, a senior In the Worthington high school, at Worthington, committed suicide Friday morning by shooting herself in the right temple with a revolver. She was a daughter of Mrs. Olive Burns, a widow. She was literary editor of the Purple and White, a monthly paper published by the high school. The girl's mother had refused to permit her to gj to Lyons to the street fair.f OLAS MANAGER ATTACKED. Officers at Falrmoiint are making an effort to ascertain the identity of a man who assaulted Milton McCombs, of Marlon, one of the managers of the Bell Bottle Company's factory, near the latter's residence in that city. The stranger passed McCombs on the sidewalk, whirled around and struck him on the head, knocking him down. McCombs was badly beaten after being felled. A strike has been In progress at the Bell factory for several weeks. FOUND AFTER 28 YEARS. Captain George Norrls, who mysteriously disappeared from his home, at Rochester, twenty-eight years ago, hasi been found by members of his family. A daughter, Mrs. Charles Emmons, living west of Rochester, has received a letter from her father, who writes that he Is in Cincinnati, O., where he has been for a number of years. He is now more than eighty years old, and in the letter asks the children to bury him beside his wife. "She was too good a woman for me,'1 he writes, "and I, blind man that I was, did not appreciate her." He also mentioned that he is getting a pension of $63 and expects to return to his family for a visit as soon as he gets his next pay. When he left his favorite niece accompanied, him but not a word was mentioned as to her whereabouts. LOOSES MEMORY. Had the dead come to life, it would have caused no greater surprise than the return of Julius Salters, a wellknown carpenter who disappeared under unusual circumstances at Decatur, Miss., early in March and who had been given up for dead by his relatives at Petersburg past six months. Salters's ransacked valise was found in the railroad yards near the Mlsissippl River and officers dragged the river for several days in search of his body. Salters was found in Ev&nsvlile by friends yesterday, where he was living under the name of Frank Smith. EPIDEMIC ON FARMS. Carrying out instructions of Dr. J. N. Hurty. Dr. Charles W.

The Evening Chit-Chat " By RUTH CAMERON
"Yes," said the lady-who-always-knows-somehow, "I know that Isn't fair. He shouldn't do that and it must be very Irritating. But now you've told me all your wrongs and gotten them eft your mind, see if you can't cheer yourself up by thinking of some of your 'rights.' " One of the lady's young girl proteges had been telling the lady-who-always-knows-somehow how unreasonable and unfair her employer had been to her. She had fulminated against his injus tice in refusing to admit It when he made a grammatical mistake in dictating. She had bitterly scored his habit of coming to her at half-past four with half a dozen letters, when he had been sitting Idle most of the afternoon. She had raved about his rudeness In attending to his finger nails In his of fice, instead of the privacy of his home. And when the lady-who-always-knows-somehow brought out her suggestion, her protege looked extremely dubious. "I don't think I have any 'rights'," she protested. "Oh, yes, you do," reminded the lady. "Doesn't he often give you an afternoon off? And doesn't he urge you to bring in a book or some fancy work to amuse yourself with when he is away? And you said yourself that lots of men wouldn't let you do that because it looks unbusinesslike." "Yes." admitted the lady's protegee,

FINDS BROTHER IN 1ISPITAI For . the first time in seventeen years, William Cochrane, who is dying with tuberculosis in the countty jail at Marlon, and his brother, James Cochrane, a wealthy oil producer of Bradford, Pa., met at Marion Saturday. James had lost all trace of his brother until last week, when he was advised by Turnkey John Brown of William's condition. About five years ago William - Cochrane was made wealthy through the. oil business. He lost his fortune through reckless and unscrupulous living, after which he obtained employment at the County Jail. When he became stricken with tuberculosis Sheriff and Mrs. George made arrangements to take care of him. It was Cochrane'! request that he go to the grave without any of his relatives being notified.
