TO ACETATE The
CRUMPACkER BILL
Delegation to Wait Upon the
Indiana Congressman on
His Arrival.
WANT FEDERAL COURT HEGE
Deputy Clerk Surprise Is Heading
the Movement to Interest
Attorneys in Measure.

When Congressman e. D. Crum-
packer arrives in Hammond on Mon
day night, he will be met by a dele
cation of attorneys, if present plans
go through, who are interested in Mr..
Crumpacker's Federal court bill This,
it will be remembered, provides that
Hammond be made United States Court
headquarters for sixteen counties. the
federal judges holding court here, in
stead of trying all cases in Indian
apolis.
Deputy Clerk Charles L. Surprise is
especially interested in the passage of
the bill as is also Attorney William ],
WINERY and Mr. Surprise is count
ing on the interest of this lawyer, to
assist him in agitating the speedy
passage of the Crumpacker measure.
At present Hammond stands as the
center of six counties: Lake, Porter,
LaPorte, Newton, jasper and Pulaski
Although there is United States Court
clerks Office in Hammond, the only
cases filed with the local deputy clerk
are petitions in bankruptcy and such
like, all of which are tried through
referees and belong in the district
in the Hammond office, as is occasion
ally done, are transferred at once to
Indianapolis. If local attorneys were
sufficiently loyal to even file all the
bankruptcy cases in the local office,
the latter would be of a little more CON
sequence than is at present the case
but it apearS quite a number of them
take even these minor actions to In
dianapolis where they are filed with
the chief clerk.
Naturally, the Crumpacker bill does
not find special favor among attorneys
in Indianapolis as it would be the
means of greatly reducing the amount
of business transacted in that city. Not
only would the sixteen counties APP
pertaining to the district of which
Hammond would oe the center, be sci
aside, but the entire state would be di-
vided under the temrs of the Crum-
packer bill. into FIVE districts, leaving
Indianapolis only the territory adj
tacent TO the capital city If the bill
passes, court would convene four times
year in Indianapolis, Evansville. New
Albany, Fort Wayne and Hammond
All parties bringing action in tn,
United States Court would be compelled
by its terms to file them in the court K
| whose district they belong.

A YOUNG GIRL

Just budding into womanhood noticed
changes in her physical condition. day
after day, that were apparently trifiing.
Paying no attention to symptoms that
plainly indicated a decided change in
her nature, she kept her own counsel.
suffering agony, until she finally broke
down and became a nervous wreck.
Little did she dream that the split
ting headaches, pains in the back and
sides dizziness. flashes of light in the
eyes and roaring noises in the ears and
head would develop into anything seri-
Gus. Had she confded in her mother this
suffering could have been easily avoid
ed. but the fear of bringing worry and
care to her parent sealed her lips.
What must be the feelings of
mother when she learns that her
daughter has been deceiving her re-
garding conditions she knows all young
girls experience? Young women should
go freely to their mothers at the first
indication of pain and nervousness.
The mothers have been taught by ac-
tual experience that these troubles can
be readily avoided by the use of simple
remedies. Quaker Herb Extract. a veg
etable compound that can be obtained
at any drug store has proven for years

MYSTERIOUS AND WEIRD WORK.

Miss Eva Ray will come to Ham
mond next week and will be at the
Grand Vaudeville where she will per-
form every evening in mind reading
Her work is said to be wonderful and
at once mysterious and weird. Aside
from the more serious part of the per-
Torrance she generally manages to
give a comical addition which never
fails to convulse the audience with
laughter.
While at Danville one gentleman
asked the whereabouts of a missing
letter. Miss Ray told him it was in a
drawer in a desk. The gentleman evil
IDENTIFY doubted Miss Ray, as the look
on his face plainly showed. AS test
he asked Miss Ray if she could read
some of the letter. Miss Ray started
reading: My own dearest darling
birdie. Why do you treat me so cruel
ly when you know how much 1 love
you" At this point the audience was
in an uproar of laughter. At this me-
ment A. p. Sheets threw up both hands.
admitted Miss Rays reading of the
letter to be correct, but begged she
would read no farther.
No doubt but that Miss Ray will
draw large crowds at the Grand next
week.

Latest Movements in Finance and Trade
tBy Direct wires to Lake County Times,
NEW YORK LETTER.

New York, Oct. 26.-Fears of compli-
cations with the Japanese government
and higher money rates in London,
were the particular features that open
ed our market weak and lower. Trade
was a little broader during the first
hour of the session, although prices of
the higher rails receded on an average
of from one to one-half points from
last nights final sales. Reading was
notably weak, liquidation was on a
large scale. and the selling was of a
higher order than the buying. 1t open
ed at 141 and sold down to 13S in the
first two hours; later, a rally of about
two points was engineered, more to
drive in timid shorts than anything
else. Union Pacific. New York Central,
Atchison, Missouri Pacific and Pennsyl-
vania also suffered declines ranging
from one to two points. The break in
the standard rails was more in sym
pathy with the weakness displayed in
Reading than any particular news
bearing on these issues.
In the afternoon the market had a
substantial rally, and a good part of
the early declines were recovered. st.
Paul advanced from 169h up to III,
Union Pacific from 1908 to 1929:
and Southern Pacific from 90k to 81 n
But in the general strength Reading
was again the laggard, only recovering
two points from the low prices estab-
| lished early.
The market generally closed irregu-
! lar, with losses apparent in some OF
the better class of railroad shares, such
as New York Central, Pennsylvania
and Reading, but strong and fraction
ally higher for st. Paul, Southern and
Union Pacific.

Chicago, Oct. 26.-WHEAT-Dull and
lower early, but later rallied to about
yesterdays final prices. Foreign mar
kets were slightly lower, and in addi-
tion to this reports from Argentine
are exceedingly bearish. estimates on
their crop are larger than previously,
and the shipments from that country
have increased materially. Northwest
ern markets were about as dull as our
own, receipts in that section being
large. Cash demand continues fair.
The market closed steady.
CORN-W eak early, but later rallied
in sympathy with the feeble advance in
wheat Shorts were the best buyers of
both December and May. The cash de-
mand is very good for old corn, prices
in the sample market being onequar-
ter to one-half higher Cash houses
have been liberal bidders to their
country clients for old corn. The mar
ket closed steady with a slight ad-
vance for the day.
OATS-Dull, featureless and uninter-
esting Fluctuations almost nothing.
Oats in the sample market were off one
quarter, although the receipts were
light Shipping demand is fair, but in
ability to procure cars retards the ex-
port business. The market closed dull

Troubles of "A City Editor.

William Allen White. the Kansas edi-
tor, in telling of the troubles Of city
editor in drilling green reporters, was
reminded of an amusing case that came
within his own observation, says Har-
pers Weekly:
There's one thing you must remem-
Der above everything else" said the city
editor of a St. Louis paper to a new
reporter, land that is, tell in the first
few lines what your story is about-in
other words. give the substance at once.
Then follow with recital of facts and
conclude with interviews with the peo-
pie concerned. That is the only or
Derby way of writing your story"
The new man gave close attention to
this lesson, the result of which was
that he handed in that night a news
item reading as follows:
Rufus Jenkins, carpenter, slipped
and fell in Vine street yesterday and
sprained his ankle badly.
Mr.. Jenkins was walking along Vine
street when suddenly his feet slipped
from under him and he fell, spraining
one Of his ankles
When seen by a reporter he said:
I was walking along Vine street when
in some way my feet slipped from I'M
der me and I fell heavily to the side
walk, spraining one of my ankles.
Frank Fuller said: I was walking
behind Mr.. Jenkins in Vine street
when I saw him slip and fall to the
sidewalk. When 1 assisted him to rise
he told me that he had sprained one of
his ankles.
"Dr. Thomas Rich, who attended Mr..
jenkins. said: Mr.. Jenkins has q bad
ly spFained ankle, due to fall in Vine
street. He will be laid up for some
time
Mr.. Jenkins could not attend last
nights meeting of the carpenters union.
The president in converting the meeting
| expressed regret that Mr.. Jenkins could
not attend. as he had slipped and fallen
IN Vine street, spraining one of his
ankles"

If Edison's new storage battery
proves to be what he expects 1t, he will
revoIutionize transportation. He claims
that he has perfected a battery twenty
cells of which will run carriage or
brougham, about the weight of the
present electric runabouts except the
heavy battery, for fifteen years. He
claims that it will be so cheap that it
will supersede the horse and largely re-
place the street car as a vehicle from
the suburbs to the city. Indeed. Mr..
Edisons description of the new inven-
ton is most optimistic, and he declares
that the new battery will be on the
market next spring. We can believe
almost anything of electricity and its
dooility and usefulness, when 1t gets
into consultation with Edison.-Elkhart
Review.
