After being thwarted from hanging: himself with a. towel and then at

tempting to throw himself in front of a moving Nickle Plate train, William I!. Clettenberg of Chicapo landed behind the bars at the Hammond Central police station yesterday morning where he was held until his relatives took him back home last night. Going into Mat Honey's saloon on Sibley street yesterday morning young Clettenberg asked for a rope. Not being able to secure any he bought a couple of drinks ana then walked into

, the buffet. Going ir.to the toilet he i tore a large towel into strips tying i one end around his neck and the other to a water pipe. Standing on the toilet he jumped to the floor, where he was found a few seconds later by the bar

tender who heard tho noise. Clettenberg's body was cut down and upon reviving a few minutes later he broke away from tht; amazed spectators, making a dash out of the door. Running down Sibley street, he was again stopped when he attempted to throw herself under a Nickel Plate train. He was held until an officer was summoned who took the half crazed young man to the Central station. His motive for commiting suicide is not known, but it was learned that he had been drinking considerable and at times acted strangely. He Is 23 years old and is well known In Hammond where he has made a number of visits. His relatives took him back to Chicago last night, young Cletterberg, seemingly no worse off for his narrow escape from suicide.

Illinois Man Arrested. James Crosby of Springfield, 111., was picked up by Officer Fick on Hohman street last night on a charge of drunkenness. Before Judge Harnett in the city court this morning Crosby testified that he was look for work, but in the meantime imbibed too freely of the flowing bowl. Abe Peterson, arrested by Officer Galvin for the same affense, was fined $11.

Judge W. A. Jordan Is the most popular man In Indiana Harbor, among his friends, but ' the butchers of the city are thinking of calling a meeting and takng steps to get him Into trouble for acting In restraint of trad"e. Incidentally a large proportion . of Indiana Harbor is enjoying rabbit stew for supper tonight. Thereby hangs the superlativeness of Judge Jordan's popularity with his friends, and his unpopularity with the butchers, for it was his gun that brought down the rabbits which form the major part of the rabbMt stew and It was hia generosity with the results of a recent hunting expedition, which has caused the butchers of the city to suffer a temporary lull In their business. The Indiana Harbor jurist !s a good shot. Everybody who is eating his game tonight, will attest to that fact. When he started Wednesday for Ora, Ind., with the full purpose of slaughtering every rabbit within a radius of twenty miles of Ora, he was given the glad hand by large numbers who had heard of his proficiency with the rifle, and who enjoy rabbit stew. To each and all Judge Jordan promised a pair of rabbits. Those he promised knew he would make good, even if he had to buy the game. For Judge Jordan Is a man of his word. Sergeant Hughes Is one of the friends remembered by the judge, with a mess of rabbit. Asked as between man and man whether he thought the judge really shot all the rabbits he brought home from his trip, the sergeant replied, that be this as It may he was not

BY HOIIEaT WILSON. Washington, Dec. 2. When a nw

representative comes to Washington he

finds other perquisites to his job besides

the $7,500 salary. He gets free a spacious office in one of the moat beautiful

office buildings in the United States.

This office is furnished luxuriously for

him with mahogany desks and tables, the latest metal or precious wood filing cases, rugs and the like, as well as with the latest model of any typewriter his stenographer may fancy. He needs use only the costlest grades of bond paper for his letterheads and envelopes, for he Is given a stationery

allowance of $125 per month, and paper printing, pens, ink. Inkwells, and all office supplies are sold to him

at coat at the house stationery store.

Ice, water, light, towel and char services are free.

He is also given $125 a month for

clerk hire. Some few representatives

save this entire allowance by employ

ing no clerical help. If he falls to

spend all of his stationery allowance.

too, he retains what he saves. On the

other hand many representatives fail

to make the $125 monthly pay their office help. Under the law each member Is required to turn In to the clerk

of the house the names of clerical

help paid from the $125. In the last

session Representative Rainey, of Illinois, turned In the names of 25 clerks.

all presumably being paid from the $125 a month.

Another perquisite 1b the mileage al

lowance of 20 cents per mile each way

for one trip each session from a con

gressman's home to Washington. Thus, a representative from California re

ceives $1,200 more than one from a Maryland or Vrginla district adjoining the national capital.

The books at the congressional library are at the disposal of house meibers. When a new representative is fixing up living quarters In Washington, It Is customary for him to tell employes of the library about what sort of reading matter he likes, and also the amount of shelf roorrr he has In his apartment or house. These experts compile a complete library for

without - any rush about it.

the Instruction and amusement of himself and his family for the winter, and the books are delivered In the library automobiles. He may keep out books as long as he wishes, and whenever he becomes tired of his assortment, he can have them replaced with an entirely new supply. The Democratic and Republican cloakrooms are in reality luxurious clubrooms in which the members can relieve the boredom of dry debates by smoking, reading and talking, whie sitting In the deeply upholstered lounging hairs. Time was, alas, when the member needed only to press a button to have fetched to him his favorito cocktail, but and It is an interesting story why -no more. Time after time the hypocritical house and virtuously voted the barrooms out of the natior.al capitol buildings, relying, and not, in vain, on senators who liked their liquor to lose the legislation In the confeTcnce committees.

In 1901, Wm. R. Shattuok's immigration bill was up, and thi random debate had grown lively on the point of liquor selling on government reservations, which had been incorporated as part of the bHJ. Representative Chas. B. Landis charged that Shattuck to lie consistent, ought to Include government reservations of every sort. There was the Pensylvania passenger station in Washington, for Instance liquor was sold there. "Well, for that matter, sneered Phattuk, "liquor Is sold In this building. Why don't you introduce an amendment to stop it?" "I will," said Landis, and dashed oft the rider to the bill. The house passed the amendment cheerfully, strong in the faith that the senate would run to form and eliminate the dry clause. But on this occasion, however, the senate called the blufT, and liquor disappeared from the capital except In the numerous private cabarets that might be mentioned.

Crown Point, Ind., Dec 2. City

Treasurer William Handley has been

quite sick at his home on East street for the last week, threatened with pneumonia, but he is thought to be

out of danger by his physician at this writing. With Mayor Wheeler on. the sick list the city official family is somewhat depleted. Reports from the

mayor are very encouraging and hi

recovery Is now only a question of

time.

The city 'council will meet for their

regular monthly meeting this evening,

and it is probable that In the absence

of Mayor Wheeler, who Is still confined

to his home, that only the most neces

aary and most urgent business will be

transacted. The council has many im

portant questions for consideration at present, the Heior ditch proposition, a satisfactory settlement of electric light rates, the acceptance of Main street paving, the opening of Wests treet from North to Summit street, and the supplying of the Pennsylvania railroad with water. Nearly all the above matters are now in the hands of committees, but it Is questionable whether they will be brought up for discussion and settlement at tonight's session. The county commissioners are in session today, their time being taken up principally with liquor license busi

ness, a Dusy session conrronts tne board ,.this month and It is expected thetr deliberations will extend over the entire week.

At the hospital this noon it was said that she was doing as well as could be expected, and that she is In no Imminent danger.

Just watch future developments and. the fact will soon be apparent that John Gavlt is the real man behind the guns in Lake county.

Hammond Theater. Music, laughter and sightly surroundings are what the present day

theater-goers want, and it is promised that these ingredients have been fully supplied in the 1912 edition of the mu- i eical comedy, "Rusy Izzy," in which George Sidney will make his appearance at the Hammond theater next Sunday. j A big company of forty people head-

ed by Miss Carrie Webber have been employed to aid Mr. Sidney In his funmaking and the chorus is said to be one of more than average ability.

GARY POSTAL BANK GAINS That the Gary postal savings bank is becoming more popular as a dedosltory for savings accounts was shown by the report of Cashier Joseph

Tracey ttoday. During the month just ' past there were many heavy wlth- : drawals by reservists who left for the ! Balkan war. Total deposits are now $45,712. There are 311 depositors. Withdrawals dur- ! Ing November were $5,501 and deposits

He has kept free from entangling al- j liances. He ha the confidence of all. ' He has played the game on the square and the party generally gives his credit ' for what progress the party made in the last campaign. Gavit has no axes to grind. He comes the nearest being without political , prejudices of any of the party leaders. He is not out to boost this man or that or to throw the hooks, into this or that enemy. j And withal Gavlt is a man of force. He has backbone. He can say "no" as easily as he can say "yes." And he can say "no" in such a way as to make you feel good about It. I Gavlt lacks the craftiness of Knotts, ' he lacks the tendency to make politics of everything as does Becker. ! He Holds the I'lnmo. ! Gavis Is the man who is going to distribute the patronage in Lake county. He Is the man the ambitious are going to talk to. Of course, he will be advised by the others; Gavit accepts advice gracefully, and he Is going to be stronger when he gets through with this ticklish, job than he was before. And Incidentally he may come in for one of the political plums himself, say, the Hammond postoffice, not because

he Is going to Insist on it, but because some of the democrats are going to insist that he take it If Gavit wants Smalley to have the postoffice and John Rohde named for mayor that Is all there will be to it, but does he? Gavit has been working for the democratic party for years. All he has gotten out of it has been the city attorneyship which has been so ably administered by him that he has done twice as much work as the salary warranted. Gavit is the kind of a man the public

wants In office The man who does not look upon public office as a soft snap, but an opportunity. And with Gavlt the leader of the democratic party things are going to be run on the
