THAT FEELING OF SECURITY possessed by the rider of blcyles fully demonstrates its superiority. For years in the front rank of wheels, the 1912 model sho-ws imprivements over former models improvements in the matter of weight, strength, greater ease of running and altogether finer adjustment Crack riders and the wheelmen content to pedal along the even tenor of their way alike recommend the bicyles we offer. 0.

Tuesday, July 23rd 2 Reels-Under Two Flags-2 Reels From the novel by Oneida.
A French banking syndicate has purchased the securities floated in connec
tion with the extensions of the Chicago, Milwaukee & Gary railroad, the new ' betl line, and construction work will be started at once by the Keneflck Construction company of Kansas City. ' A few days ago a party of French bankers, accompanied by William KenJ eflck of Kansas City, completed a careful Inspection ef the route. In the par-
I ty was L, S. berg, formerly president of
the Mobile, Jackson & Kansas City railway, now connected with the Soclete
Generate Bank of Paris, and -F. C
Faget. an officer of the Franco-Ameri-caine bank of Paris. The next extensions will be from Milwaukee to Bockford, from Rockford to Momence, In Illinois, opposite Schneider, in this county, and thence from that town to Joliet and then into Gary. As yet the route into Lake county has not been stated. As the belt lines will tap the steel plants of the steel trust at Milwaukee, Rockford (steel and wire town), Joliet and Gary there is a belief that the steel trust is interested in the new project. . .

POUMASIER HAS EXCITING TIME Infuriated Foreigners Fight For Their Bossies and Piggies.. . ,

Gary police reserves had to be called out yesterday afternoon to rescue Poundniastcr Mike Keserich ' and Patrolman Nick Miscovich from the hands of an infuriated mob of foreigners, men and women, who sought to wreak vengeance upon the pair for their energy in nforcing the. city pound laws. The battle took place in the Lincoln park district of Gary. Poundmaster Keseric had Just taken a couple of fine Holseteln cows, a pair
of goats, and four pigs into tow and was being escorted by Officer Miscovich who acted as a sort of convoy to Mike and his herd. Suddenly a buxom Bulgarian housewife discovered the officials making away with her cow and seizing a roll
ing pin she made for the luckless two. Other men and women followed and the mob seemed to spring out of the ground. In a few minutes it was of pretty large proportions and shouts were being uttered to scalp Mike and Nick in seventeen different languages. Finally some one phoned to the police station and the auto patrol wih Capt. Newman In command and Officers Eisner, Canady, Frank Martin and a couple of more of the day reserves hastened to the rescue. This they did with a great deal of difficulty.
ployed to keep everybody off from the place. He has strict instructions not to allow anybody to go on the farm. Captain Hanlon takes the position that he forcibly compelled the. old man to go to the hospital and that under the circumstances it is up to him to safeguard his property. In the meantime the old man will reveal the hiding , places of his money, and if there is any of It that has not already been found it 1s expected that it will be located and taken to th bank. The money that was found Saturday was taken from an old tea kettle that was found under the floor of the cabin. It was hidden in shoe-blacking boxes and was all in $20 gold pieces.
With $10,000 already pledged by corporations and individuals the Mercv
j hospital campaign committee of the J Gary Commercial club will begin work

i Harry V. Call. He will be assisted by
ten team captains, made up of milt executives and business men, each of whom will have nine assistants. There will also be a staff of ISO of the different nationalities who are to serve on the co-operative committee. Charles Mayne, general secretary of the G. T. M. C A. organized the committees for the Commercial Club.
