"They can't whistle me down," declared Alderman Oscar Plageman. "I was fighting the whole clique, clerk, mayor, attorney and the council.

I told the city attorney that he didn't carry out the orders of the council relative to Investigation. I was going fine when that bunch sailed in on me . and trted to make me ridiculous. A Monkey Cagef Holy Circus f "If they are going to turn the council into a monkey cage why have a council? It doesn't do any good to pass ordinances except appropriations anyway. It was a holy circus last night with plenty of voters there to see it. I don't think they showed very good judgement in laughing down my motion for they've got something on their
hands now. I'll never stop till I find out why the railroads are allowed to violate the law everyday In HammondWheat He .Meant.

He hasn't any more chance of knowing when a train is coming than some pedestrian. "At Sohl street on the Michigan Central there is a public nuisance in the form of a bell that rings day and night and drives people out of the nelghborhoow but no watchman. I know men who have sold their property to get away from that bell. "Yes, believe me, I'll have the last laugh at that crowd. If they think they can whistle me down their badly fooled. Of course when they all got after me last night I shot a little wild but you wait and see what happens.

BUSINESS
FOR JOLY FLOURISHING AT P. 0.
An encouraging statement of postal conditions came from the past master's office today in whiehlt is shown that federal business generally Is as good now as durln.g the busy winter months and in" one Instance better. The postal savings department is flourishing as It never has before and shows a total deposit of 4,464 for the month of July. When the new rates go into effect August 15 it will be possible to send a pound package to any point within the first and second zones for five cents and this is sure, to mpre than double the express end of the mail business. One cent additional will be charged over the old limit up to 20 pounds. A world of difference is made by the extension from 11 to 20 pounds and this will be evident In the report for August. In the postal savings department the total for July is Just twice last years.
The net increase is $1711. In speaking of the class of depositors who are- taking advantage of the United States bank and the security It' offers Otto
Babe, assistant postmaster, says that
they are about evenly divided between
American born and foreign born but
that the foreign born are for the most
part Americanized. Several have de

Motor parties returning: from extended trips oyer the hills and grades of surrounding states are always pleasantly surprised when they strike the even macadam roads of northern Indiana, which are ideal for automobiling. Until they have made a long
trip they do not realize what a luxury is offered at home and how envious Ohioans and Kentucklans are of our level roadways. William J. McAleer and a party came back from Michigan the other day and Lawrence J. Hoffman returned at the same time from Ohio. Both tell the same story hills, bad roads, dangerous curves and tire trouble. The McAleer car was shipped home because of Impregnable mud and the Hoffman's were never so happy during the trip as when they struck Indiana macadam. Lawrence Hoffman, who had in his party his wife and the Clarence Kings, 6ays that his car was so liberally decorated with pennants that a farmer, thinking It was the forerunner of a circus parade, stopped him and asked where the other wagons were.
