HAMMoND.s HORSE 70 INDUSTRY
Legislature Will Probably Investigate
the "Drled necfv ConccrnsL

~.
The little patch of Indiana up by the
end OF the big lake has engrossed a great
deal OF the States attention In the last few
years. with It's prize fights. Its gambling
houses, It's Roby track, and now, last Of
all It's establishments for converting de-
crcpit horses into prime steaks and high
grade dried beef. Hammond has the honor
OF fostering the equine beef industry, and
the people In the neighborhood who are cog
INFANT OF the output OF the two or more
establishments within the confines of Lake
county excuse the industry on the ground
that the picked steaks and dried beef are
shipped to Belgium. There Is a strong sus-
picion that all of the horse meat does not
go to Belgium, but that a great deal of it
Is sold even in Indiana under the gulse of
beef.
A bill will probably be introduced in the
Legislature soon calling Tor an investiga-
ton of these establishments, with a view
of compelling them to properly label their
products. 1t Is said the proposed Dill re-
ucts, such as oleomargarine and the like,
to be labeled will also cover the horse meat
industry in Lake county. Several gentle

establishments at the Denison last night.

r,rry-ErGHrH OR FIFTY-NINTH.
Old Question of the Correct Number
~ AxacmhIY Raiaed.

The question which Invariably arises with
the converting of the General Assembly of
Indiana is again before the public. 1t IS,
what is the correct number OF TINS session
of the Legislature? Following the numeri-
cal order of the sessions, the present as
sembly is the ffty-nlnth; but by William
Fl. English and others 1t Is asserted that
this Is only the Fifty-eighth General AS
sembly of Indiara.
In 1887, when the Legislature convened
and A. Green Smith. the President of the
Senate, opened the session as the fifty-ffth,
william ". English. as president of the In
diana Historical Society, sent a
cation to that body. stating that, In his es-
timation. the number of the assembly was
the ffty-fourth and not the hfty-fifth. He
said It was the ffty-tifth. according to the
Senate Journals since 1863. but he considered
that a mistake was made In tho numbering
In that year. He asked that the matter be
investigated, so that all doubt might be
removed and the journals corrected. His
communication was referred to the commit
tee on public libraries and was never again
reported.
An Investigation OF the journals reveals
the grounds upon which Mr.. English bases
his statement. In 1851 the Forty-frst Gem
erai Assembly met In January and ad-
iourned In March. About that time. or
shortly afterwards, came the call from

for some unknown reason. u was called the
Forty-thiri General Assembly. instead OF
the Forty-second. There Is. consequently,
no Senate journal which bears the title or
Forty-second Assembly.
From those facts IL appears that the

rather the n~fty-eighth. Notwithstanding ii
