HEARD ON THE BoURsE.

New York, Oct. 4th.-The Atchison
dividend at an average of IS per cent.
making it per cent per annum is one
of the most conservatively bullish
things the Atchison people have ever
done, il will have a very good effect
on the stock market and will have
tendency to boost Southern Pacific 10
par at once. as both stocks pay per
cent per annum. The Atchison com
pany earns about Is per cent on the
common stock after all charges and
only pays per cent; this is one dollar
for dividend and two for Improvement
of the railroad.
Mr. Prick is the largest buyer of
Southern Pacific and is telling his
friends it viii sell higher than Atchi-
SOM the rights on 1t alone will be
worth 500 per share. Anything that
will advance the price Of Southern
Pacific will certainly boom Union Pa
cific which is really the best and cheap
est stock on the list.

Richard Cole Newton declares THAI
oven in the early days of the Hippo
cratic era the art of surgery eschewed
all forms of superstition and philosoph-
teal conjecture, attaining practical re-
suits by direct methods. At a very
early age the profession Of medicine
was fully recognized in Greece and in
many cases was generously rewarded.
We read Of swindlers and charlatans
In those days too. Patent medicines
were also sold. The Hippocratic oath,
which for over twenty centuries has
remained practically unchanged, is an
evidence of the sagacity, the sense of
professional honor and responsibility
and the clear thinking of the Greeks.
Hippocrates was born on the island of
Cos in AGO b. G. A large collection of
writings, evidently the work of many
physicians, whose identity is unknown,
has been ascribed to the pen of this
leader. The Greeks were wonderfully
brilliant in medical attachments, for
they studied nature and her methods
and shook theTgelves free from a
monumental load of ignorance and SUI
Perstition. The synchronous develop
ment Of mind and body was the funda-
mental rule, both of health and edu-
cation.-Medical Record

WITH THE EDITORS.
PRESENT LAWS SUFFICIENT.

The meat inspection of Chicago con-
demned ton and half of poultry
stored in cold storage plants. Now
this present condition respecting food
products in Chicago should have pre-
vailed in all these past years. 1t is
not due to late national legislation.
but to the lack of enforcement of law.
1t is only one more of the proofs that
evil conditions have grown up,
not only in food preparation but in
financial affairs. because the law has
been violated right under the noses of
the officers of the law whose duty il
was 10 see that such things were not
done The Stensiand bank footing
was in the face and eyes of the bank
inspector. Now if officials will not do
their duty it is inevitable that govern

Hold the meat inspectors, the bank in
spectors the police and the admins
trative officers 10 their duty and its
performance. and we will not need new
laws. except to correct unexpected
wrongs that grow up suddenly The
tons OF spoiled meats we have eaten
would not have been eaten if the in
spectors had done their duty. it need
ed no new law to protect us.-Elkhart

The discipline Of Failure.

The best skating is always on thin
ice-we like to feel 1t crack and yield
under our feet. There Is a deadly fas-
cination in the thought of twenty or
thirty feet of cold water beneath. Last
years mortality list cuts no ice with us.
We must make our own experiments,
while Dr. Experience screams himself
hoarse from his bonfire on the bank
He has held many an inquest on this
darkling shore of the river of time, and
he will undoubtedly live TO hold many
another, but thus far we have not been
the subjects. and when it comes to the
mistakes of others we are all delighted
to serve on the enroner's jury 1t isn't
we'll for us to be saved from too many
plumbers. We need the discipline of
failure. 1t Is better TO fail than never
to try, and the man who can contem-
plate the graveyard of his own hopes
without bitterness will not always be
ignored by the gods of success.-Mere-
dith Nicholson in Reader.

Lake water is bad enough. but muck

the water so filthy that a gIassful OF IL

There is a cause for it; is any mem

1t Is very probable that were the

CHICAGO LETTER.

Chicago, Oct. 4.--WHEAT has been
inclined to weakness all day although
the volume of trade was not large
Houses with Northwestern connections
were the largest sellers of both Deem
Der and May options. 1t transpires
that the large cash business reported
worked for export yesterday was
greatly exaggerated. The market
closed weak at about the low prices
CORN-Extremely dull, trade entire
ly professional. Fluctuations so mar
row that outside spectators simply
ignore the market. It closed prac-
tically the same as yesterday without
feature.
OATS-Strong and higher. News
from the Northwest was exceedingly
bullish on the crop and this induced
considerable outside buying.
The market closed strong with the
advance well maintained.

Among freaks of nature in trees there
stands conspicuous one known as the
Asiatic star tree. It is enormously
tall, growing to a height of from sixty
feet to eighty feet, while from the
ground up to distance of about forty
feet the trunk is perfectly bare. From
that point there spring d number of
tangled limbs, which shoot out clusters
Of long. pointed leaves, and 1t Is these,
grouped together, that emit at night a
clear. phosphorescent light. This gives
the tree spectral appearance and is
very deceiving to travellers, who FREE
quently mistake the glow for an illu-
minated window of a house. The light
is not brilliant, but is of sufficient
strength to allow of a newspaper be-
Ing read by it, 1t does not flicker, but
glows steadily from sunset to day
break.

IS TT aBRAvERY. OR PIaUE.

Editor Hearst's population Of the en-
dorsement Of Boss Murphy is due to
the suspicion that has come into the
editors mind that Murphy has simply
put him up to knock him down. Hearst
resents the idea of being considered
the good young man with the barrel
whose political ambition must be
checked. It has occurred to Hearst
that Tammanys friendship for him is
not genuine. He has been lauded,
principally in his own papers, for his
bravery" in renewing his old fight
with the men whom he accused of
cheating him out of the mayoralty OF
New York City and who now have
made his presence at the head of the
New York state Democratic ticket pos
sible but would it not have been
Drawer If he had repudiated Tammany
on the floor of the convention before
he accepted the nomination at Tam
many's hands? That convention was
a farce and Tammany made it so. Tam
many. voting as a unit, nominated
Hearst and the balance of the conven-
ton refused. for the first time in the
history of New York politics, to make
the nomination unanimous. Now
Hearst does not want Tammany's sup
port. and under the circumstances he
cannot expect more than luke warm
support from those who fought his
nomination. If he cannot break into
the Republican vote along the lines of
his independence league" it would
seem that he was hopelessly up against
1t. Hearst presents a unique spectacle
In politics as he has In journalism.

PASSENGER TRAINS ARE DELAYED.
Monon and Mike Plate Trains Are
Sideviped This Morning.

Passenger train No 80 on the Monon
failed to reach Hammond this forenoon
because of a wreck north of Indian
apolis this morning. Passenger train
No. 3 on the Nickel Plate was also
delayed on account of a wreck east OF
Fort Wayne last night
No definite reports could be had in
Hammond as to the cause and extent
of the Monon wreck but it is known
that it was not accompanied by any
fatality The conductor, however, was
injured. Several of the passengers, too
were severely shook up. No 80 was
sidewiped by another passenger.

Men who walIed on An Fourx

In the kingdom of Poland there was
formerly a law according to which any
person found guilty of SANDER was
compelled to walk on all tours through
the streets Of the town where he lived
accompanied by the beadle, as a sign
that he was disgraced and unworthy
Of the name of man. At the next pub
lie festival the delinquent was forced
to appear crawling upon hands and
knees underneath the banqueting ia
BILE and barking like a dog. Every
guest was at liberty to give him as
many kicks as he chose. and he who
had been slandered must toward the
end of the banquet throw a picked
bone at the culprit, who, picking 1t up
with his mouth. would leave the room
On all fours.

HAMMOND in common with Its sister
cities in Lake County is rejoicing over
the location of two baseball pennants
In Chicago. When it comes to base
BAN Hammond Is proud to be consid
cred a part of the big city up yonder
It has rooted industriously from the
pitching of the first ball to the final
triumph of the Spuds and Sox. It has
contributed as much in the way of
enthusiasm and gate receipts as any
town In Chicago's environment.
Local interest in the two pennant
races was felt in the reception and
support accorded the baseball reports
printed nightly in The LAKE COUNTY
TIMES. This paper has reason to take
pride in this unique journalistic
achievement-for Hammond. The base
ball fans of this section have not had
to wait for the baseball extras of the
Chicago papers.
Persons who work in Hammond and
are forced to live in Chicago have gone
home nightly with q more complete
knowledge of what had happened in
the National and American leagues
than they could have found when they
reached seth street, unless they de-
pended on hearsay.
Hammond has had its baseball lie
turns with its five o'clock tea.
