GLIDING Worth, Calumet and Hobart town
ships IN Lake county; Portage. WestchesteT
and Pine in Porter, and Michigan and CoOi
Spring In Laporte. These townships are the
most prosperous in the three counties named
by reason Of the enormous railroad tax pald
by the network Of roads traversing that
district entering Chicago.
The people there feel that the money
which should do them great good IS taken
10 support remote county seats, ana the
more progressive of the people have already
agreed with the citizens of the other desira-
bic districts on a plan by which the town.
ships above mentioned might be created into
a new county, with either Hammond Ches-
terton or Michigan City as the county seat.
The only bar there Is TO the scheme is the
constitutional requirement that no county
shall contain less than 400 square miles Of
territory. and Porter county IS too small by
Just thirty square miles to admit of slicing
off the three desirable townships. All the
other counties in the deal can spare the
necessary territory, and, while the scheme
mas been Kept, carefully under cover, all
three counties have been working energet-
lcally against any revision of the Constitu-
them.
Although the House passed without dis
cuSslon and under a suspension Of the rules
the bill to bring the fraternal insurance as
sociations under the control of the State, it
IS expected that a lively discussion will
await 1t when 1t m up in the Senate this
morning as a special order. At present there
IS no law by which the State can control
any action of such companies except on
complaint Of some interested party, and it is
felt to be desirable to protect such people
as patronize them by compelling them to
make report of their condition vice a year
10 the state auditor, and on their showing
Of solvency be granted a license to do bust
ness the same as other assessment COM
panies. If the state auditor finds that the
aSs0clatlonS are IN a bad way and are not
likely TO carry out the promises they make
TO policy holders he may refuse them a
ton. ~
Just how many Of the fraternal a~ssocia-
tons are ready to fight the bill cannot be
arrayed against its passage. and will. Il is
said, make Itself felt today. ~

SENATE GOSSIP.
why the Bill Calling for "a COnstitu-
fionnI Convention YVES Killed.

The desire to save money for the State
was not the principal reason for the Senate
killing the bill to call a convention of dele
gates to revise the State Constitution by any
means. Most of the friends of the bill
handled 1t with extreme care at all times,
always calling attention to such crying
needs as the lack Of ability Of the Legisla-
ture to extend its session If desirable. The
opponents Of the bill. knowing what its pur-
pose was. always replied that they knew Of
no demand among the people for such a re-
vision of the Constitution, and the result
was that the bin died without it's main pur-
pose being made known.
The fact of the matter is that many people
desire a Encouragement Of county lines,
which. in many cases, the present Constitu-
ton forblds. There are many districts
which have become %populous during recent
years and at present practically support the
rest or the county by their proportion of the
tax levy. These portions of counties desire
10 be disannexed from their present counties
and redistricted into others in order that
their prosperity may benefit their own inn
mediate localities. The loudest desire in
this respect comes from the northern parts
Of Lake, Porter and Laporte counties, in

press you that you belong to God: you will
feel that some one is speaking that knows
your heart. The story of the incarnation
Of Christ was no dream of the magma
ton. What man could have arisen to say
that God would become man, come down
to earth and make himself of no reputa-
ton, that He for our sakes should become
so poor as to have no place to lay His
head? What man could have imagined such
a story? Christ, bending over a carpen-
ter's bench; Christ, who had stood on the
hills to measure the earth. If any man can
invent such q. story he will become the
mightiest, richest man of the world. But
there is no second edition. The story was
born and fashioned in the heart of God.
They who tell you that this book is a cum
ningiy devised fable are as they who would
tell a man who daily fed on luscious bread
that the golden grain from which 1t was
made is NORWOOD and gall. When God
speaks we ought to listen to His word. 1t
Will answer every necessity and want Of
your soul. Listen TO what God win say
when there appears TO be no way open. If
any man lack wisdom, let him ask of God.
imagine a man whose mother must turn
from him, who must say; Tom. your father
says you must never come into this home
again. You have disgraced the name by
your high living and now he says 90 and
never return. My son, though it may rack
my heart, l must cast you off. What man
could be in more desperate straits? When
thy father and mother fOrsake thee, then
l will take thee up is the promise. When
the whole world is against you, when your
father disinherits and your mother casts
you off, then 1 will take thee up"

It is expected that a large crowd will at
tend the one-mile race at the Clycorama
Rink tonight. when George Wise, the fastest
skater in the West. will skate against his
record OF 3:O2 made ten years ago. 1t is felt
that the sudden decline OF roller skating
several years ago Is responsible for the fact
that the record has never been broken, and
now that the sport Is again the rage new
records are expected TO be made any time
ard Wise Is preparing 70 set the pace for the
West. The Cyicorama Rink requires sixteen
laps to the mile, and by reason OF being per-

From the annual statements of the princi-
PAL stock yards in the West a comparison
will show that the Indianapolis yards make
a very favorable exhibit, especially as a hog
market. At the Indianapolis yards in the
year 1898 there was an increase of "a per

Chicago there was an increase of only 5 per

The Advance in Potatoes.

The predicted famine in Irish potatoes
came. but was short lived On Monday of
last week there were not potatoes enough
held by the commission merchants to have
supplied the local market for ten days. and
two or three commission houses which had
a few carloads in the ~roundhouseS of the
railroads thought they had the matter in
their own hands. They talked 81 a buShel
and did sell a portion of their stock at SO
cents a bushel, but the weather moderated
too soon for them to force the market up
To 81. and on Friday they We're willing to
sell all their holdings at 70 cents, and on
Saturday at 60 cents d bushel. 1t is thought
that should the weather the present week be
mild prices viii drop back to 50 cents a
busheI. which had been the prevailing price
for some months previous to the severe cold
weather, although it is stated that during
the recent cold snap thousands of bushels
OF Irish potatoes were frozen IN Michigan,
Wisconsin and Nebraska, the States from
which this market largely draws its supplies.
The advance in the price of cabbage and
onions was a much more legitimate one
than with potatoes, for of these latter Vege-
tables there is really a scarcity.

The Hitz Baking Company to Join the
National Biscuit Company.

A deal is on between the National Biscuit
Company and the Hitz Baking Company, of
this city, by which the latter becomes a
part of the trust. 1t is authoritatively said
that all that now remains is the actual sign

has been in the city several days comforting
with the Hitz company. George Hitz re-
fused to talk about the deaf last night,
but he did not deny that it was in progress.
Recently the Hitz company put up a large

trust to buy in the HitZ company, but UNI

c. A. KENYON INJURED.
Hurt While Trying TO Catch u Car
Near the Denison House.

Clarence A. Kenyon met with a painful,
but not serious, accident on Pennsylvania
street last night. He left the Denison Hotel
to so to the Union Station. and, seeing a
depot car pass the door, made an effort to
catch it. 1T was moving too rapidly, how
ever, for him to do so, and he signaled the
motorman 10 stop at Market street, in the
meantime setting off on a run 10 catch the
car at that crossing. 1t was necessary for
him to cross the street, aud in doing so he
ran full speed into one of the iron trolley
poles between the tracks, the force of the
contact knocking him senseless. He was
taken into a neighb0ring drug store and re-
suscitated after a~few minutes.

David Fisher Expired While at a
Merry-NakinG.

Last night a birthday party given in honor
of Mrs. August Leukhart, 800 Beville avenue,
was tragically interrupted by the sudden
death of David Fisher, who dropped dead in
the midst Of the family m-erry-making. Mr..
Fisher. who as a German, about forty-one
years of age, living at 925 Keystone avenue,
was one of those invited, and when he ar
rived with his family appeared to be in the
best of health and spirits. His sudden coll
lapse caused CONSERVATION in the party, and
DIR. Stephenson, who resides in the neighbour
hood, was summoned, but when he arrived
he saw that his skill could avail nothing,
as the man was dead.
Coroner Nash was notified and authorized
the removal of the body to Fishers late
home, where an inquest will be held to-day.
Apoplexy is believed to have been the cause
of death. He leaves a widow and four chill
dren.

WHY THE |. ans FIGHTING oOlseL

Because Goebel ran the L. IN lob
byists out Of the Senate chamber as
Christ did the money-changers from the
temple; because he worked to put that
clause In the State constitution for bid
ding the consolidation Of competing
lines of railroad; because he put in the
constitution the clause requiring rail-
roads 10 pay the owners of property
condemned for railroad purposes in
cash the value Of the property so taken
before getting possession OF it; because
he was the author of the fellow servants
bill; because he championed the bill
to put stop to extOrtionate freight
charges at nOncompetitive points; be-
cause he has champiOned every Just
demand for legislation made by the or
ganized railroad engineers, firemen,
conductors and other trainmen; be-
cause he has publicly denounced the L.
& N. for the part it played in stealing
the vote of Kentucky for Mckinley in
1896; because he has hidden the L. &
N. defiance for all time in the future in
its efforts to encroach upon the rights of
the people and to dominate the politics
OF Kentucky, as Milton Smith, Presi-
dent of the L. 4 N, has boosted in
print over his signature it would do.
This is the subject that has become
of absorbing interest in Kentucky, in
the towns and on the farms. The peo-
pie are sOberly contemplating what will
be the consequences to them should
this great corporation succeed in carry
ing out its threats. They look upon its
domination with. horror. They are
passing the word from neighbor to
neighbOr that we must organize, organ
lie, organize in every village and ham,
let, in every country school house, TO
resist this menace-tO. crash this effort
of this foreign-owned corporation CT
fabulous wealth to subsidize our press,
debauch our voters, repeal legislation
that has been enacted to protect the |
people, defeat further legislation or the
same character, and name and control
our governor and other State officers and
Legislators.
And the people will organize for this
purpose. They will rise In their might.
The revolution instead of being against
Goebel will be in his favor. In the
country, Republicans, Populists and
Democrats alike are realizing the dam
ger before them; in the towns, labor or
vsuized and unOrgsnized. is seeing it.
We are TO have magnificent campaign
and its results will be glorious. The |
people will rise and strike for them
selves, their homes and their posterity.
And every man nominated on the SUI
perb platform of the Louisville conven-
ton Will be triumphantly elected. and
