(Special to The Tmes.) Whiting, Ind.. Oct. S. Whiting this year ta a terrible example to offer Its cltlxens tomorrow on the occasion of Fire Prevention Iay. The two year old son of Mike Koubon, a section hand residing at 122 One Hundred and Nineteenth street died this mornins at four o'clock in indiscribable nguny as the result of burns he received yesterday mornlnt? while playing with matches. Nigrhbors and his mother found him yesterday morning at elgrnt o'clock, after his little body had been burned to a crisp. The mother had pone to a neighbor's house on an errand leaving the child and her Infant baby alone in the house. Mrs. John Kostolniek another neighbor was the rirst to be attracted by the burning child's scream, but she was unable to quench the flames before they had burne devery shred of clothing from the child. The physician who was summoned did everything in his power, but the boy was burned beyond hope of . recovery. The inquest was held today and the funeral arrangements will be made this afternoon.

Club Hears Speeches. The Wilson 1 lemocratie 'oiui met in their regular meeting at the Jefferson club rooms last nght and was attended by a large crowd. Discus.-ions of important subjects were the features of the evening and following the regular routine work, approptiate speeches were made by Judge Becker and Dr. Ifowatt. The next regular meeting will be hi'ld next Monday night.

t.f garden truck did very well. While the market Is going through the pioneer days of becoming established, the farmers and the shoppers will have to be patient with what tsueess is attained. A few more days if the farmers continue to conic in, and it will be a" "regularly"" established '" institution which will grow with the city. Thus far it has been conclusively shown that the farmers hesitate about coming into the market fearing that they would be- unable to dispose of their goods and that the people of Hammond would be only to willing to buy their goods if they were given an opportunity. Some exceptionily nice garden truck was brought on the market this morning and sold at a reasonable price. The ladies of the Pine Street Presbyterian church had a staad at which they sold

homemade bakery goods and

ready buyers. Hammond already, has hundreds of women who were educated in other cities as to the !-enents of a city market .and they will tie among the most ardent supporters. Tho idea however, seems to be new to many of the farmers. Some of those who came in on Saturday were unprepared to meet the wants of the customers. Some of them had no scales nor measurs, and expected to sell in wholesale lota. The farmers' wives need to understand that they too will ad eager customers for any homemade ;.; t !.! that the;- might offer, j Market Mar-'tei O'Kourke who is en-thu.-iastie about t he project went out among the farmers Sunnay tor personal interviews wit a them relative to the merits of the pojeet.

The chief was thrown from the 'juggy striking the pavement on his head, breaking his nose and seriously bruising and cutting his face. At about noon Mr. Dougherty In company with Assistant Chief Glen Switzer started to drive from the city hall to the chief's home In Indiana Harbor. At Oicott avenue the chief pulled up in order to allow Mr. Switrer who lives a short distance from Chicago avenue on that thoroughfare. to alight. The

The coming week will bo one of great activity in republican partycircles. The first political meeting of the week will be that of M. M. Garland, the ex-president of the sheet metal workers union and the man who settled a bl'gstrike at Anderson, next Tuesday. Garland will have two meetings in Lake County, one at Gary, early in the evening, and the other at East Chicago later in the evening. Judge Virgil S. iieiter will address the Kast Chicago meeting until Garland comes. On Wednesday Gurley Brewer, the great negro orator, will address a colored meeting in Gary. Brewer is a man of national reputation and is really a very eloquent speaker. On Thursday there will be a meeting at the ceni'-r school in Ragle Creek township. Speakers have notkyet been assigned to this meeting but Fred Crumpacker, the chairman of the speaker's bureau, is at work on a number of good speakers. Friday Congressman E. 1. Crumpacker will speak at Lowell at one of the regular speeches that he has scheduled for this district. This meeting is to be one of the best taht will be held in the campaign. On Saturday Crumpacker has two speakers at his disposal. One is Flitted States District Attorney Wilkers.oi, who prosecuted the beer trust in Chicago, and Judge Kd ward Jackson. Places have not yi t been assigned to t hem.

Tn spite of the fact that yesterday was the last day of the registration in Indiana there has been a surprisingly small registration. This has alarmed the political leaders of both parties. In fact it is believed that the democratic registration law will disfranchise fully 0 per cent of the vote of Lake County. Yesterday the chairmen of the county central committees of both political organizations made drastic efforts to get out of the vote and wieh what success will only be known when the final returns are in. It has been found that the foreign districts are the most difficult to register. In Gary and in F.ast Chicago and Indiana Harbor arrangements have been made to have the polls remain open for another day or two. It is necessary to have five voters, who have not registered, to sign a petition before this can be done legally. In Hammond the regrstration has been fair.

Carl Ames, who has been looking after this matter for the republicans said today: "We have a much bigger registration than the democrats. I should say on a rough guess that the republicans have 25 percent more of their vote registered than tho democrats." "The democratic organization does not seem to have taken any steps to get out the vote and have them registered. Ames says that in the precinct in Ilomewood thtre ii ISiO out of 210 votes registered, and TO of them registered yesterday. There are other precincts in which there is a heavy registration. It is in the foreign localities that the registr'ation has been light and in which desperate efforts are being made to get out the voters. Democratic county chairman Frank Gavit said lfst night that he Is satisfied with the registration that has bnn made of democrats. "We were able to get out most of the voters," said he.
