TRUSTS WATCHING US. The importance of Lake County as
an industrial center is shown by the
fact that all of the big trust investi
gations of recent date have involved Lake County to a greater or less ex
tent.
When the Standard Oil Company
was investigated the plant at Whit
ing was frequently mentioned. When the investigation of the Steel truat was threatened the plant at Gary was referred to.
Now that the packer's investiga
tion is on reference is repeatedly made to the plan which the packers had, away back in 1892, to go to Tolleston and build a single plant
there. The only thing the Investigators overlooked was when the tobacco trust was being investigated and no reference was made to the enormous consumption of battle axe by the redoubtable Alderman M. N. Castleman of Gary.
the. speaker said: "Ornamental lighting Is popular, because of the - Important part it plays in the movement for the City Beautiful artistic as well as unitarian. "Because of the- advertising value to the city as a whole as an Indication of its prosperous condition and progressive spirit, a welldressed city, like a well-dressed man, commands attention and respect. "Because of the benefit In dollars and cents accruing to the business interests in the lighted district, the value of property on the business street is directly proportionate to the number of people who make use of the street as a thoroughfare; light attracts people. ' "Because of the increase In property values and the decease of crime."

who was tried for disorderly conduct
Constano was the recipient of one of
the fake telegrams for which he paid
seven dollars. The message told him
that his wife was on the way from
Poland and, so we by the paper,
"after he had read it he was so elated that he indulged too freely In intoxi
cants and soon after landed In the
police station."
The truth of the statement that Constano indulged in intoxicants because he was elated depends upon the
accuracy of the newspaper man who reported the story. However, there are many men who will declare that

Thirteenth districtPeter J. Kruyer, South Bend, (Taggart.) There is some doubt as to where Murphy stands, but thre is a possibility that the Taggart crowd may bring out John B. Peterson, of Crown Point, as their candidate for state chairman, and If they do Murphy, of course will be expected to vote for him. because he Is from Murphy's district. In the case of Cox thera is an interesting story going the rounds. It says that Cox, who is a candidate fo the nomination for reporter of the supreme court, will vote with the Taggart crowd, because unless he does he might have tough sledding in landing the nomination.
