SAGE SAFE AT CLEVELAND

Judge McMahan has received let
ter from Franklin II. Sage, the man
who escaped from the Elgin insane
asylum and made his way to Ham,
mond, arriving here last Saturday
morning in the automobile Of his
friend, w. r. Donaldson of Chicago.
In his letter which was written from
the Young Mems Christian associa-
ton in Cleveland. Mr.. Sage saws he
is all right and expresses his thanks
to those in Hammond who assisted
him on his way.
Coincidental with the letter from
Mr.. Sage, came one addressed to him.
which was delivered to Judge Nc
Mahan, who is acting for Mr.. Sage
having been given power of attor-
ney by the refugee upon his leaving
Hammond This letter is from Mr.
Donaldson and contained a money
order which he had promised to send
TO Mr.. Sage when he left him hero
and returned to Chicago. In his let
ter enclosed with the money order.
Mr. Donaldson addresses the refugee
as My Dear Mr.. Sage, and con-
cludes with hoping this will help
you TO escape further unjust impris-
onment."
The language of this letter shows
conclusively what Mr. Donaldson
thinks of the man whom he has be-
friended and contradicts the alleged
statement Of the Elgin officials to
the effect that Mr.. Donaldson had
dismissed Mr. Sage from his employ
because Of his lack of reason and
would have nothing to do with the
old gentleman.

BUY GLASSES TO SEE FILM FLAM

Hammond people who have been
buying speetacles of the smooth
tongued individual who has been can
vassing the town, can see now that
they have been fiim-fammed. But
they had to buy spectacles in order
to see it.
The smooth talker has taken all
the orders he cares for and is head
ed southwark on the Monon. While
here he made a good cleanup going
about the work very scientifically.
Knowing the weakness of the general
public and knowing that it is easy
to make the average person believe
that something ails him he had no
trouble in convincing them that
something was radically wrong with
their eyesight. Few human ewes are
perfect and some glasses will fit to
read at certain distance. The vic
tim is easily convinced that he needs
that pair of glasses and buys, paving
a number of dollars extra for the
gold frame which however, is only
gold washed, The purchasers have
found out now that their glasses are
good only at a certain distance and.
that after using them they begin to
hurt their eyes. The smooth-tongued
fellow. however is making an EASY
living.

GERMANS AFRAID OF BOOM.
Manufacturers ard Bankers Fear Boom
Has Exhausted Itself.

Berlin. - Although Germany is
on the top wave of prosperity
skepticism as to the duration of the
boom has been increasing for several
months, and the outside public has
kept aloof from speculative invest
ments in industrial stocks, notwith-
standing the continued publication of
unusually brilliant annual reports by
the companies, showing large gains,
the declaration of dividends, increases
in orders and higher prices for manu-
featured products. This sober atti-
tude on the part of private investors
is beginning to gain the support of
the manufacturers and bankers, who,
being able to glance behind the scenes
of industrial activity, express fears
that the boom has already exhausted
itself.
When asked to give reasons for this
view, the manufacturers and banke 5
point to the DEAFNESS of money, the
high prices of commodities, the high
wages and the expensive operations
TO which all the industrial establish
ments have been subjected. Every
branch of manufactures is taxed to
Its utmost capacity, and in the coal
and iron industries supplies must be
purchased in increasing quantities
from abroad and furnaces have
booked orders months ahead, but will
be unable to make deliveries
