Fight fans were excited when the news leaked out this morning as it will be their first opportunity of witnessing a real championship battle in Lake county.

"("la hb tf can Hit twnlv.frvA r t rpn( harder than McGoorty," said Hicks "He Is more clever and can take more punishment than any man in the ring today.

CAR ORDERS The activity in the railway equipment market continues. Th Cincinnati, New Orleans and Texas Pacific has ordered ten mikado locomotives' from the Baldwin Locomotive "Works. Other companies received orders for 17 locomotives. The Pennsylvania Railroad has ordered 1.600 refrigerator cars and 500 steel and wood gondola cars from the American Car St Foundry Company and S05 steel and wood cars from the Standard Steel Car Company. ' The Harriman Lines hare ordered tn the neighborhood of 16.00 ears from Out of this the Standard Bteel Car Company received orders for $00 auto mobile cars and 110 cabose cars. The car shortage Is still pronounced. E THE CITY Thanks to a mild winter the coal shortage which harassed Hammond dealers early this winter has disap pearea entirely, and there is now a plentiful supply of fuel of both anthracite and bituminous coal in sight for the balance of the season. Tlwre is some probability that the price may be cut on coal after May 1st. although none of the local dealers would predict this definitely. According to Al Fisher of the Ahlborn Coal Co., there are in the neighbor hood of 300 to 400 cars of hard coal in. the Erie yards in Hammond awaiting transportation to Chicago and the west. He says his company is well supplied with coal, although the chestmut size Is still the hardest to get. "By and by," said Mr. Fisher, "after the price on chestnut coal has gone still higher, people will come to the conclusion that they can use the Other grades of hard coal just as well. That will equalize the demand, and will help the situation all around." The Beckman Supply company says It has all the. coal it needs for its cus tomers. J. J. Dibos & Son say they have an over-supply and that they will aot be bothered with a shortage again this season. Downey & Porta stated this morning that their bins are so full that they had to refuse one car of hard coal this morning. The East Hammond Coal Co too, is well supplied, according to a statement from BasTl Walker this morning. Henry Bieker of Bleker Bros, said that the coal shortage is a forgotten worry. - "We have all that our customers could demand. The mild winter is the only explanation for the plentiful supply now," Asked whether a reduction in price could be expected soon, Mr. Bleker said that he saw no indications for it. "Coal don't grow on trees like apples and it does not spoil. It costs as much to mine the coal in the winter time as In the summer, and that accounts for the uniform price nearly all year around."

No arrests or other matters of Importance were reported THE 1913 BUSINESS OUTLOOK DEFINED Conditions In our own country, that Is aside from matters relating to polltics, are ripe for a boom: but we can not have a boom without money with which to finance It. ' It is, however, important to. notice that the interna tional financial strain is if anything growing less. The demands upon our national supply of gold from other countries are certainly not as great as a month ago. While our home business is not quite as rushing as it was the letup therein has not been carried any further than It usually Is at this season of the year. and alt business still exhibits the stimulating effect of the magnificent harvets of 1912. It is much too early yet to forwrny accurate notion of crops In the present year; but the agricultural experts and especially the experts of the Krai trade journals say that frojn all indications winter wheat has come through the winter thus far in good shape. People In the east are Impressed With the lack of snow covering for winter wheat in their neighD1IHI SAB I T KELTABTj; HOME TREATMENT Thousands Of wives, mothers and sis. ters are enthusiastic in their praise of ORRINE. because It has cured theit loved ones of the "Drink Habrt" and thereby brought happiness to then homes.

B. D'Emo, Adv. Chicago borhood, but in the last fortnight there has been a good fall of mow over the winter wheat belt proper, and there is abundant reason to hope that when the growing season appears in the warm days of the spring it will afford promise of a good crop. In the stock market latterly attack has been concentrated upon the shares of the inactive and newly created industrial securities and this quarter was obv'ously the point that was least capaole of defence. Not all the new industrial promotions that have lately been brought out were those of over-capitalized companies, but many of them were. Good will in more than one recent instance has been placed at an absurd flfrure and the stocks concerned have been waakly held. In the last two years a large number of these stocks have also enjoyed a great and undoubtedly manipulated advance. They have fallen as rapidly is( they have advanced and probably no greater amount of money has been made or lost by any one in the operation as a whole.
