TO Extend from Westport,
Ind, to Chicago via
Terre Haute.
IS IMPORTANT MOVE
John r. Walsh Is At The Bottom
Of The Neutrality-suspicious.
Already Issued.

The news received here this morning
that John r. Walsh has obtained an
entrance into Chicago over the Chicago
Terminal Transfer Railway lines and
this means practically that Hammond
is to have another railroad.
The road is to be an important one
because it extends from Westport, Ind.
through Terre Haute, the Bedford
quarry region and the coal mines to
the south of Terre Haute direct to the
Calumet region and Chicago.
Even the short road was always a
paying one except for the fact that Mr..
walsh's inability to obtain Chicago
terminal was what rendered the road
such a drain on his resources that it
is said it caused the failure of the
financial institutions of which he was
the head.
There is a gap between the Chicago.
Indiana and the Chicago Southern In
diana railroad of about 40 miles between
the two railroads but there have been
S., 500 600 worth of bonds issued by the
Chicago Southern and this is relied up
on to rehabilitate the old roads and
construct the gap between the two.
When this road is completed it viii
be one of the most important in Indi-
ana for the reason that it reaches q
territory that Is not tapped BY ans
other Chicago road and will be tbs
most direct line to the quarries ane
coal fields of the southern part Of tn
state the product Of which will be Il
great demand in a growing industria
center like Chicago and the Calame
region.
It viii mean another important rail
road for Hammond and the prosperit!
of this city will thereby be enhanced.

TRANSPLANT TREES NOW.

October is a good month to trans
plant trees with the exception of the.
evergreens, says farming. The import
ant things to remember are these:
Keep the roots from drying out, prune
off those roots that are bruised or
broken. see that the soil is we'll packed
around the tree. and cut back the head
of the tree to balance up the loss in
the root system. At first, cutting back
a shapely fruit tree often seems to be
a mistake. but the chance of having
the tree live will be doubled if it is
done.

DOES "KITTy" ARRIVE.
YES, IN PUNCHES.
Tired Young Man Surprised by Bunch
of Felines in His bed.

The much heralded Arrival OF Kitty
took place rather unexpectedly last
night, nearly tweny- four hours before
it was billed to arrive. 1t was
bowling success and those who were
fortunate enough to witness the va
rious scenes and acts say it was the
funniest comedy they have seen in
many day.
The time was 80 a. m, October I'd
A. D. 1906 The place was room 80.
Carleton Hotel There was no girl
connected with the case. A young man
enters a dimly lighted room and worn
out by hard day of toll disrobes and
tumbles into bed. The clock strikes
two and all is quiet save the patter
of cushioned feet in the hallway
Suddenly the reclining figure of the
young man moves and he sits up in
bed as he hears a faint cry at his side.
1t is a ghostly sound and in fear and
trembling he jumps to his feet and
turns up the gas.
"Oh, it is you Kitty" said he, and
glancing at her side he saw three little
kittens. The arrival of kitty or rather
kittens was fact.
Reaching for the bell he pressed it
for a long time and finally sleepy
eyed night clerk came down the eorri-
der. What do YOU want?" said the
clerk. Call DR.. Clark" was the brief
reply. There was soon the greatest
excitement. The guests were awakened
By the noise and poked their heads
out Of their doors anxiously enquiring
the cause Of the excitement. 1T is the
arrival OF Kitty" everyone exclaimed
and the uproar was stiH greater.
The curtain fell when Tabby was
carefully carried to the basement to-
gether with her little ones. Life has
become unbearable for a certain young
man at the Carleton and today its,
How are the little ones. old hoy?"

Beveridge's strong Sentences.

The government should do TO busi-
ness that the people can do better
themselves.
The government should control in
dustries owned by some people that
are 50 great as to affect the welfare
of all OF the people.
Government ownership of nation
wide business is the European theory;
government regulation of nation wide
business is the American theory.
Open and above board must hence
forth be the motto of American bust
ness.
Railways whose rates arc a tax
upon al the people. should be con-
trolled by the government of all the
people
If the making of the peoples food
and medicine, which concern the health
and life of the people, ought not to be
owned by the peoples government.
railroads, which affect only the bust
ness of the people. should not De owned
by the pc eople's government.
It cannot be that American blood
was shed in vain in Cuba. We did not
go to war for liberty that liberty
should be mocked.
Is it best that Cuba continue the
battle-ground of foolish factions or that
American law and order should regu-
late their industry?
Do YOU feel that the cause of hu-
man freedom would best advance un-
der the Cuban flag or under the ban
ner which, wherever it has been lifted
meant practically progress and real
dom.
Liberty-tEat is the method of hu-
man Progress and the nation. which
under Cod is leading the world to lib

The washington Navy Yard.

The commandant of the Washington
navy yard, Captain Leutze, has made q
recommendation to acting Secretary
Nevberry that may be of vital import
auce Ia labor organizations throughout
the country, Tar it involves the right OF
unions arbitrarily to fix The maximum
product of each workmsl for day.
To secure the full possibilities OF the
splendid pjant at the Washington gun
foundry, it is proposed to do one OF two
thines-either put the men on piece
work or resort to what is kpown in the
manufacturing world as the |Pre@iu~
system"
This system ia bGsed on an admission
of the right of the uniO0 to say what
workmsn's maximum output shall be for
a given wage. but it permits the man 10
do more work il be chooses to do 80, re-
ceiving a proportionate increase in pay
1t is urged that the result is to stimulate
the men to greater production sad to al
ford fair opportunity for the AMBITIOUS
wOrkmen
The labor unions as represented al
the Washington yard have asked for an
opportunity to be heard on these prop
0sitious, and acting Secretary hewberry
has assented,
