Think
of the many tons of coal you use in your coal range a year, and how it all has to be handled twice; first carrying it from its storage place to the range; then from the coal range to the ash barrel. Did you ever realize that it was possible to do away with all this hard work ? It is.
The Gas Range eliminates the drudgery of carrying coal and ashes as well as the dnidgery of cleaning up a lot of dirt. The Gas is piped direct to the burners of your Gas Range. You only have to turn a valve and strike a match, the fire is read' for cooking. Turn it off and. the expense stops. 4 Investigate our easy terms which allow you an extended period to pay for your Gas Range.

Sleep dlstrurblng bladder weaknesses, backache, rheumatism, and the many other kindred ailments which so commonly come with declining years, need no longer be a source of dread and misery to those who are past the middle age of life. The new discovery, Croxone, cures all such disorders because it removes the very cause of the trouble. It soaks right into the kidneys, through the walls and linings; cleans out the little filtering glands and cells, and gives the kidneys new strength to do their work properly. It neutralizes and dissolves
the poisonous uric acid substances that
lodge in the joints and muscles, causing rheumatism; and makes the kid

saved to the shippers of . Indiana through the establishment of the uniform code, or average plan of demurrage, $190,000 a year. In 1911 It started a fight in this state which. brought about a reduction of 15 per cent In express rates in Indiana through the Railroad Commission. This has saved the shippers of express $100,000 a year.
In 1911 also the association fought and prevented an advance of 10 cents in the minimum freight charge throughout
the state, thereby saving to small shippers $500,000 annually. The association works every day in the year protecting the shipping interests of Indiana, bringing about interstate rate . collecting claims, furnishing tariff
sheets, and giving legal advice 'to its members on all question affecting employer or shipper. It has 1,200 mem

had chased her with a butcher knife. Yesterday afternoon she decided to leave him and go to Chicago. She came to Schneider at 6:40 in the even
ing hoping to get away on the C. I. & S. train which leaves Schneider at 7:40. Burns had followed her. There were other passengers In the watting room and Burns stepped In and sat beside
his scared wife. In one pocket he had a revolver, In another shells, In a third a bottle of carbolic acid and in a
fourth a razor. He whispered some
thing into her ear. She gave him a
startled look and left his side and sat beside another woman.
SHOOTS WIFE A SECOXD TIME. "You'll never leave this station," he
said to her in a threatening tone of voice and he walked out. On the station platform he caught a glimpse of
her figure through a window, and drawing his gun he fired. The woman
fell to the floor unconscious and he
rushed into the station. He ordered everybody out and leveled his gun at C. T. Smith the telegraph operator.
The first shot was heard at McBroom's restaurant, a hundred feet
from the depot, and inquiring faces came to the door. Frank Parsons a young man about twenty years old
came out on the sidewalk and before
he could go far, he had a bullet wound
in his knee. Burns and his wife were
alone in the station now. He held his
gun again toward his wife and shot at her, this time striking her tn the
elbow. A wild yell went up from the people at the restaurant. There waa
a confusion of shouts, and a revolver
shot went into Burns' direction. .He
shot back without hitting anybody and there was a lull. Harry Rouse the deputy sheriff was summoned, and he ordered several men to assist him to capture Burns. The latter seeing this move, opened the depot door far enough to look out and fired at the
deputy sheriff and his - assistants
Rouse heard two bullets whistle past
his head and they kept under cover.
DEPITTY SHERIFF TAKES CHARGE. A freight train passed on the C. I. & S. and the fireman Sharkweather of Hammond who took In the situation at

For an answer Burns directed a shot in his direction but hit the cab instead. Everytlme a human figure came within range of Burns" vision he fired. Eighteen times part of of his head was seen to protrude beyond the door and each time his revolver spit fire. After twenty minutes of this kind of warfare. Burns was seen to keel over. Deputy Sheriff Rouse, and William Chiel and Harry Balser rushed over to the depot and found the injured man reaching for the carbolic acid bottle.
They took it away from him. He was
too badly injured to say whether it was his own bullet or not that enter
ed his body below the heart. Deputy
Sheriff Rouse says that the bullet
could not have been fired by the posse, because Burns never exposed himself.
He was taken to Ahlgrim's poolroom.

Sheriff Henry Whltaker this morning
had words of praise for his deputy Harry Rouse for handling a critical situation as he did without letting any of those assisting him get hurt. Under cover of a protecting telegraph pole
Rouse advanced to parley with Burns, but the latter would hear nothing of giving up the fight. The depot this

Dr. S. Merskovltz, secretary of tha East Chicago health department has returned from Chicago where he had been for several weeks In a hospital taking treatment for what seemed t be a species of nervous break-down and this morning was trying "to . get in touch with the smallpox situation in Indiana Harbor. When seen thia morning however, he had been unabla to get hold of anyone who could give him definite Information regarding conditions, the physicians who have been handling the situation, being -out. Dr. Herskovitz until a few days ago did not known that there was any smallpox In this region. When - he heard accidentally that an incipient epidemic prevailed, he could not rest until he came out and got a- line on the conditions. As soon as he was abla therefore, he left the hospital, and thia morning he announced that he was prepared to take personal charge of the situation. Dr. Herskovitz is still far from being a well man. His voice is weak and he shows the effect of his illness in many ways. "I will soon be myaelt

sicians in charge of the smallpox pa

occupied with the smallpox patients.
On the face of it T do not Quite ap
prove of so many of the patients being cared for in their homes, when there is a pest house for that purpose. However, I do not mean this in a spirit
of criticism, as I have only hearsay to
go on and there may be a good reason for this. It would appear , howeven that if there Is room for all the patients at the Isolation hospital, and Z am told this is not full, they, should all be cared for "there. The possibility of stricter quarantine' would be therefore Insured and it could be managed with far less expense to the city. 1 I am told that from four to six cases are being cared for at home, and this necessitates' an officer on duty day and night at each of the houses in which there are patients. That soon runs In to money. "I was not at all surprised to learn that there was an epidemic of smallpox in the Polish district.; I did my level best to persuade , those peopla over there that the children should be vaccinated, but It was useless. They wanted the city or school board to shoulder the expense and as the school was not a public one, It did not coma within the Jurisdiction of the school board.
