Firemen pumped water on t"he rilns ofttoe butlding: at Harmoit place and Michigan avenue, occupied until Friday by C. P. Kimball & Co.. all day yesterday. - As a result of-the- cld weather the Tuins: were tee coated, and the remains of the building ook more like an ice palace than a ruined structure. The blaze spread so rapidly that it was doomed before the fire oompanles arrived. After the blaze died down firemen suffered from the cold. The mass of the ice had much tha effect of a Riant refrigerator on pedestrians passing the ruins.

UHFORTUHATELY FOR SOliniJOT TRUE Indianapolis Calls Clarke Only Republican Elected to Prosecutorship. The Indianapolis Star publishes un der a Vlncennes, Ind., date line the information that Arthur A. Clark, the new . prosecuting attorney ' for ' Knox county, enjoys the distinction, of being the only republican elected to that office In Indiana at the last general election. '. ' '' ' , All , of this would be important If true. Unfortunately for the democrats In Lake and Porter counties, however. it-4s not true. The Star has evidently overlooked the fact of the election of one James A. Patterson of Indiana Harbor to the office of prosecuting at torney for the above named counties. The republicans who were responsible lof the election of Mr. Patterson and numerous other candidates on the Republican ticket in . this neck of ' the woods, are united in a howl for a correction by The Star. ; SECOND VICTIM OF ACCIDENT IS DEAD Kostar Vicaordi Passes Away at Mercy Hospital; Hurt on Street Car.

Townsend of Michigan, a Republican member of the postoffice committee, to Senator Kern-. : Senators Shively and Kern at once had a conference, and what they will, do to that patronage list, speaking in the vernacular, will be "a plenty." ' Senator Kern took the papers, chucked them away in the dustiest pigeonhole in his office desk and, there they will remain. The list of nominations bottled ;up is as" follows: .

The young men with the druggist said O. K. and Mr. Summers neither saw or discerned anything as the machine took the crossing.- Midway, on it however he saw looming ahead a

rapidly moving monster as silent as-the

Flying Dutchman and as gruesome as a death's head moth. It was the rear end of a big switch engine coming' along at a good clip. Its east end was parallel with Mr. Summer's kersone lamps. He knew he could not escape being hit, but turned the car south and the engine struck the rear of the machine throwing it into a telegraph pole on" the right of way.4 Had Mr. Summers steered his machine to the north with a view of escaping, -. he, It and his -companions would have been hurled on the- track and ground under the wheels. So close a shave was it that the air connections of the engine were ripped off and found in the machine. The rear of the auto i was wrecked and various parts of It j jarred loose. - The men were all game and refused o jump and to this fact probably owe. so, some ' escape' from Injury. The switch engine stopped north of the crossing and some of the -crew pallid and shaking came back to see what damage thav had done. Mr. Summers and his relatives hur ried to the engine to verify their asser tlon that there was no warning light of any kind on the rear of the engine and found a man putting a lantern on the rear end. As soon as the' engine pass ed the crossing the bell began to ring to carry out the story of the trainmen that they gave ample warning before the engine reached the crossing of its approach. Mr. Summers and his companions will swear however that the engine was ab solutely without any sort of warning signal u very common custom with fit is not guarded by either gates or ; watchmen at night and that another erim tragedy had not happened there on this occasion was due to no fault of the trainmen. " It Is one of the most dangerous. If not the most dangerous In the city and why the city authorities permit such a menace to life and prop erty is more than can be fathomed. CHARGED Edward Jaeg.er, a sixteen-year 'old youth of T61eston',"faces serious charges In the Gary police court for attacking a thirteen-year-old girl living in Clarke station. " Young Jaeger, the police allege, ac coated Mary Buchowski in Clarke road yesterday morning. He told her, they say, that her brother was injured while cutting timber in the woods. The girl accompanied the boy Into the wood where she says that he attacked her Jaeeer's younger brother was with him. Returning home, the girl told he story. The police were notified and yesterday afternoon Detective Eisner arrested Jaeger at his home.

A GRAVE

CRIME

Twice Elected Coroner, . I J i Linked With Mayoralty Office; Would Joint Ticket. on Dr. Frank Smith, coroner of Lake county and twice elected to that office, is the latest man talked of in connec tion with the Gary mayoralty.

He has healed more breaches In party affairs than any man in Gary. The doctor is exremely popular with the democrats and bull moose men. Dr. Smith, also has a large following among , the young men of the city regardless of politics and it was because of the support of the younger element that he was able to make such a fine showing in a bad year for the repubkans.

Secrets of Good Advertising

j Concentration

An eight-inch advertisement in one newspaper will -bring rauch bigger results than a two-inch advertisement in four newspapers. Don't skip around from one newspaper , to another. Success in advertising comes from hammering away at the same crowd. Pick out the newspaper which has the kind of readers you want for customers, and then stick. If you want to make an advertisement hit all you need to do is to talk to the reader of the newspaper as you talk across the counter the counter to a customer. Simply talk. That's all. Bo sincere about Jt. Let your words ring true. The people will listen. They like it. The fact that your advertisement appeal's continuously in a reputable newspaper stimulates public confidence. Your shop advances step by step : in the estimation of thousands of people who may be months in getting around to make their first purchase. Originality may be good, but an advertisement that sells goods, even if copied, is better

RECORD CAR BUYING YEAR

It la very frequently said that railroad are forced to bay cars. So they are ,to an extent, but not to tke extent of more than 200,000 cars, as 1912 showed net urplane daring Its first eight months running up to 139,000 cars, and Is ; showing net shortages in its four cloning months, running from 50,000 Tars down, s recording to the Iron Trade Hevlew. Evidently there has not been aa much compulsion as thought. Rath'1 er, the railroads bought cars at first largely brranne they were cheap, and more lately they have bought them because they expected busl nesa to continue . expanding next Tear, and they have had large earnings by which they could comfortably make the purchases. ! ' It should be remembered, of course, that a very considerable part of the railroad car orders placed this year has been for purposes ' of ' replacement. The total number of cara in the country will not be lncreaaed by anything like the number of cars built. In making replacements or continuing to .repair old ram, the railroads are governed largely by queations ot expediency, especially as to whether the capital is readily available, to make the fresh investment. Poor's statistics indicate that from the clone of the fiscal yearn of the various railroads, 1(K) to 1911,- a period of five years, the number of freight cars increased by 375,000. The number of cars built during the same period may be estimated for purposes of comparison at about 750,000, or almost twice as many. The abandonment of old wooden cars is perhaps at Its height at this time. Early In the history of the all-steel and steel under-framed cars, the abandonment of wooden cars was much smaller, for the rea son that, as wooden enrs had been made up to that time, there was large sprinkling of new wooden cars. Now that the manufacture of wooden cars has been almost a ban doned, the average . age of all the wooden equipment is greater. On the other hand, as the proportion of wooden to total equipment becomes relatively small, the abandonment of wooden cars will again be small..
