Tank Car Mystery at Whiting Has Been Satisfactorily Explained.

WHAT WILL THE END BE ? ....

In the minds of those who are studying the outcome of the war in tlie far East, the ouestion is. "What will the end be I There are some

who think we can already fore cast the issue and do so with certainty.

Everything points to the early fall of Port Arthur. When this happens,

the Japanese will have won half the battle and possibly the larger half. More than a month ago Gen. Dragomiroff advised that Port Arthur be

abandoned and the fleet destroyed, but Gen. Kuropatkin thought other

wise; he now sees that the stronghold is doomed. Sebastopol held out foi

a vear against an allied armv but the mehtods of war and the modern in

struments of destruction have advancd within the last GO years.

After leaving Port Arthur, what will the Russians do" It is sup

posed that thev will retreat to Mukden and lure the Japanese after them.

Will the Japanese follow or will they content themselves with holding and fortifying the line "across the bases f the Korean Peninsula of Liao-Tung,

and defying the Russians to put them out? In possession ot this line

thev would be in possession of all Korea and of all maritime Manchuria.

Would not they be in possession of all for which they have really been

fighting? With not merely the Gulf of Pe-ehi-Li and Korea Bay, but

with the whole Pacific ocean, closed to Russia, might not Japan claim the

victory of which she possessed the spoils? If Russia wished to continue the war, would it not behoove her to attempt to dislodge the Japanese,

while Japan could well afford to "stand pat"?

Rev. George R. Jones is to be substituted at many of the Chautau-

quas this year instead of Rev. Sam Jones. He is a southern gentleman

and is recommended bv Mr. Jones. The latter said recently: "Mr. Stew

art is better than I am." Many people who have heard Stewart say that

Jones told the truth when he said this. Good for Jones.

Hammond, Ind., June 2. The Hull ' murder mystery at Whiting has been1

exploded and an ending made of the sensational stories surrounding the death of Freu Hull. After a coroner'3 Inquiring covering three days, and an

autopsy, three physicians decided that there was no proof of murder, and the

coroner reported that death was due

to asphyxiation. It was shown that

Hull had been dissipating freely for

some time. During the fag end of hisspree he borrowed $20 from a friend and he told another friend that the police were pursuing him because they thought he had stolen the money.

Circumstances point conclusively to

the fact that Hull went to the Pennsylvania railway yards and removed the cap of the naphtha tank, after which he crawled in, readjusted the cap and laid down and went to sleep. During

his slumber he was asphyxiated by the powerful fumes. The bruises on his

face and head were shown to have

been caused by contact with bolts and rivets in the tank while the car was in transit. Not a single arrest has been

made in the case, as Chief Collins of ,

the Whiting police has never doubted '

that Hull's death was due to accident. '

FURTHER EVIDENCE

The retiring firm of D. C. Beggs & Cd. take this method ot thaak'ng the public for the substantial manner in which they have extended their patronage and friendship to The Railroad Store in the past; and at the same time bespeak for the new owners, Messrs. Game & Browrt, the same liberal support and friendship that has so materially helped to bring this store to the front. The policy of the store shall be, first of all:- Goods of strictly dependable qualities at the very lowest prices; and careful attention will be paid to those things that will make trading with us a pleasure, namely courteous trsatment to all; square dealing; no misrepresentation; all goods marked in plain figures; one pnee to everyone; and YOUR MONEY BACK IF YOU WANT IT. We hope a continuation of the liberal patronage extended to us will also be given to the new firm. Again we say, THANK YOU ! 2). C SSeqgs & Co., THE RAILROAD STORE.

speech on the Gettysburg battle field, he said: "He is a poor American.

The La Fayette Courier says: "The latest hard-luck story is tele-

granned from ii art torn v itv, Indiana, wnere another wise and circum

as useful and much less offensive than some of the ones coming from the

packers.

second day gives no evidence of being "well done."

ANNUAL RECITAL

Of Earlham's Elocution Department Saturday Evening.

On Saturday evening, June 4, at S p. in., will occur the annual recital of the elocution department of Earlham college. The program for the recital is as follows: Piano. Tarantelle Chopin Mamie Hough. Closet Scene From Hairlcs. Hamlet Luther Feeger. Queen of Denmark, mother of Hamlet Grace Stayton. This is the most thrilling and vivid scene in Hamlet, in which Hamlet attempts to persuade his mother to leave her perfidous husband, who has slain Hamlet's father. The bloody death of Polonius adds interest to ihe plot, and the audience is held spellbound while the hero, inspired, pleads for the right. It is the best seen', from what is probably S lakespeare's best tragedy. Reading Pantomime. Song of the
