Epidemic of Typhoid is
Prevalent Throughout
Northern Indiana.
MANY PATIENTS DIE
East Chicago Center of Attack But
Other Towns Closely Follow
Boil the Water.

An epidemic Of typhoid fever is
sweeping over the northern part Of
Lake county. The sickness is prob
ably more on the typhoid malarial
order and while not all the patients
are in bed, it is almost safe to say that
there is not city block in which
there is not at least one person who
has had the symptoms Of typhoid ma
laria. It is long time since the
doctors have been so busy as they are
at the present time St Margaret's
hospital is filled almost to the last
room with patients and twelve Of them
are suffering with typhoid. Marc
are suffering with typhoid. Marc MAJ
Gle, a foreigner who died of the sick
ness last Tuesday. was buried this
morning. A number of other patients
in the hospital are not expected to live.
East Chicago. seems to be the center
of the attack but the other cities are
close followers.
Physicians lay down two principal
rules to- be followed in order to avoid
the disease. They have been repeated
for years in the newspapers and by
the doctors. They are: Guard your
drinking water and make the watch
word IN and around the house clean
liness."
Doctors have in the past been ready
to trace epidemics to these two sources
and in this case are laying the blame
to the drinking water. Unless the
water in Hammond, Whiting. East Chi
cago and Indiana Harbor is boiled II
is not fit to drink. The recent storms
have churned up Lake Michigan until
the water is gray with sand and dirt
1t has been claimed by some that the
water is infected from the Robertsdale
sewer which enters the lake too near
TO the Hammond intake. 1t VIII be
for the board Of health to decide
whether a distance Of a half mile be
tween the mouth Of the sewer and the
intake is sufficient to preserve the puri-
ty Of the city drinking water.
While Hammond and its sister cite.
have much to wish for in the line oi
cleanliness still the call for cleanliness:
seems to be no stronger now than il
the past IN other words the cite.
are no dirtier now than they were las
year But here wherever lake waite
is used for drinking purposes one ruI,
always holds good and that is: "Boi
\ your drinking water"

Damage Suit for Loss Of Arm

IS CLAIM NOW VOID2
Knotty Promblem Over Which Law
yers Disagree Will Be Put To
Chicago Jury

Can man who is dead recover dam
ages for the loss of an arm which he
suffered several years before his deatns
This is the peculiar question that Mrs.
Patrick Golden is asking herself and It
Is the knoty problem that some Chi
caSo jury win have to decide in the
near future
About three years ago Paddy Col
den, the man who was murdered by
Ferguson Lauder. was the victim Of a
railroad accident in which he lost his
arm. The accident was said To be the
result of negligence on tile part Of the
company, and Mr.. Golden Instituted a
suit for damages soon after
A Chicago lawyer took up the case
and has been working on II ever since.
Only short time before his death Col
den became impatient at the long de-
lay ard went Up TO the city TO see the
lawyer.
The attorney slapped him on the knee
and said, Don't worry. old mar. things
are looking brighter every day. Pat
rick Golden came home and few days
later the saloon fight followed in which
Golden was shot
Several weeks have passed since the
tragedy ana Mrs. Golden has been in
such a nervous condition as d resnit
of the affair that she has neglected to
inform the Chicago attorney OF her
husbands death.

Others are or the belief that II the
man had not lost his arm he might

Boys Now at Hospital.

Henry Whitaker yesterday after Sc

Tom Lind who had brutany beaten
one of Mr.. Whitakers livery horses.
went to the local police station and
took out a warrant for the fellows ar
rest on a charge of cruelty to animals
The warrant was not served for the
simple reason that Lind is now lying at
st. Margaret's hospital suffering from a
dislocated hip and sundry bruises
caused by the thrashing he had re-
eeived at Mr.. Whitaker's hands and by
being dragged several yards by the
horse he is alleged to have mistreated.
The circumstances that led up to the
foregoing incidents were as follows:
Lind called at Whitaker's livery
barn about II o'clock in the morning
and hired a rig. Along in the after
noon Mr.. Whitaker received word from
friend who happened to be in the
neighborhood of Hessvilie that his
horse was being driven along the road
at a frightful pace. Later on the re-
port came from Hessville that two
young men had Just driven through
that place at a furious pace and were
whipping their horse every step of the
wayA Mr.. Whitaker became alarmed
and determined to go out and look for
the fellow who had hired his horse.
He had not gone farther than the
Conkey plant when he met the young
man and a friend and demanded an ex-
PLANTATION OF their conduct The man
who hired the rig and who was later
found to be Tom Lind said that he sup
posed he did no wrong in beating the
horse the way he did.
Takes Law in own Hands.
Mr.. Whitaker thought that if Lind
would not recognize the law regarding
cruelty TO animals, he ought to have I,
chance to experience a good whipping
himself
So he jumped out of his buggy and
going over 10 that in which Lind and
MS friend was sitting he grabbed the

one hand and administered the thrash

But if Republicans everywhere are

overtakea the Aldridges. Kiiburns and

Quggs, they must not fail to realize
that the ground thus suddenly won

evil clements In their own organization
as we'll as those into whose hands the
Democracy has been betrayed.

La Toilette, OF Wisconsin has in
augurated many reforms which are
proving OF inestimable benefit to the
people and are gaining In favor all
over the country. La Toilette, by
the way, comes 81 near having the
brand Of republcanism that actuated
the founders Of the republican party
that he should be democrat. He
has been and Is now demanding many
OF the reforms that Bryan in sisted
she uld be placed in both the Chicago
and Kansas City platforms. AS he Is
a democrat at heart, and has all the
other outward symptoms of the re-
formed democracy, we viii gladly ac-
cept what reforms he can TO secure
the people regardless Of the source
from whence they come. In the faceof
The corporations OF every conceivable
nature, with slush fund that
reached into the millions, he secured
for his state not only laws that.were
OF great benefit to the producers OF
wealth, but he impressed the fact
upon the railways that they could go
so far In their robbery of the people
and no farther. In addition to curb
ing the rapacity OF these gigantic
COZ porations he secured the present
state primary law that is being copied
by many OF the other progressive
states of the Union, The people Of
Wisconsin realize that La Toilette is
honest aud can not be swerved from
his duty either by briberyu or intimi-
dation. La Follette's position is
similar In many respects To that Of
President Roosevelt they will retire
from public life the most loved 10y
the people and the most hated by the
corporations and trusts of any char
acters that have recently gained ma
tioual prominence.

1t was but a few days ago we were
told that the results OF the Oregon
election would demonstrate that the
people we're perfectly satisfied with
the national administration and
wished TO "leave well enough alone. "
While the results are interesting
In many respects, yet II 1t Is straw
pointing In any direction, 1t proves
the contrary. In the last presiden-
tial election the democrats only cast
~ per cent. OF the total vote, yet
Chamberlain, democrat, was elect
ed governor. 1t Is true the majority
indicated that they desired repub'
lican to represent the state Ia the
United States senate, but when we
come to consider that Chamberlain
secured one vote from the opposition
to every vote that his own party cast
for him, he made remarkable race.
