governor and that he thought Hanly

possible
The governor has just returned from
the east and is sick at present, which
accounts for the fact that he has not
already taken some action in the mat

fact that Mr.. Bruce could give the
name of the probable next police COM
missioner, he says he has been be-
sieged with inquiries as to the identity

the World beginning this Even
ing at SundOwn.

"Unleavened bread shall be eaten
these seven days; and there shall not

and thou shalt tell thy son on that day,
saying; this is done on account of that
which the Lord did unto me when /
came out of Egypt. ."-Exdous XIII. rs.
Beginning tonight at sundown all
Orthodox Jews will observe the feast
OF Passover which will last for eight
days. 1t is one of the principal feasts
in the Jewish calendar, and takes it's
name from the angel OF deaths pass
over that he made when he slew the
first born in every Egyptian home.
While there is enough of food on
the tables all week. it is differently
prepared from the ordinary. IN
leavened bread, called matzoh is used
exclusively in the bread line during
the coming week.
A mixture of fruit, nuts and wine is
prepared and served. which in color re-
sembles mortar. This to comem-
uaorate the freeing from slavery when
the Jews were compelled to make
brick and walls in which the mortar
was used. Bitter herbs are also placed
of the table, bits Of which are eaten.

LIVE WIRES THREATEN
PASSERS-BY WITH DEATH.
officer Kunz Noticing the Danger Con-
stitutes Himself Guard Over Danger
Gus Crossing, Warning All Persons
Away-SeveraI Narrow Escapes.

Several people narrowly escaped
death last night on the corner Of Nor
ton court and State street, where two
live wires had blown down and were
dangling across the street. At times
when they became crossed the sparks
would fly and the wires would sway
from one side to the other.
officer Kunz, who was standing on
the four corners, saw something was
wrong so he went down and stood
guard over the street until an electri-
clan could be called to cut the wires
farther down, south OF Morton court.
While standing on guard several peo-
ple attempted to cross the street and
only for the presence of the officer
might have run right into the wires
which would probably have caused
their deaths as there was strong cur
rent.
One man, whose name could not be
learned, paid no attention to the cries
of the crowd, and not until Officer
Kunz has threatened to strike him
with his club did the fact dawn upon
him that he was in danger.

Men Senator Bowser Named
for Oil Inspectorship
Get Notice.
TERM BEGINS APRIL |
John Graessli and George Davis of
Chesterton and Lowell, the
Lucky Men,

Through the appointment of Messrs
John G. GraessH of Chesterton and Geo.
Davis of Lowell for the deputy oil in
spectorship for this district, another
long standing speculation has been end
ed. The appointees were notified yes
terday and their term is to begin April
l. They succeeded Henry Whitacxer
and ex-senator T. z. Bell Their an
pointments last for four years and
should have gone into effect in January.
The recommendations were made by
Senator A. J. Bowser and they have
been sanctioned by the governor.
1t is the duty of the oil inspectors
to inspect all oils that are sent out from
their district and pass on 1T in order to
protect the consuming public as to it's
grade.
Among the politicians the deputy oil
inspectorship is considered somewhat
of a plum although the s100 a month
allowed as the highest limit is deserv-
edly earned if the work is conscien-
tiously carried out. There was conse-
quently much speculation as to whom
the senator would appoint.
B0wser Talks.
In speaking of the appointment this
u4OIHlHS oeHdlOT BOWSer SAID.
In making the recommendations I
took into consideration the even distri-
button of favors as much as lies with
me, think that the southern end of
Lake county is entitled to some rec
ognition for they stand shoulder to
shoulder down there. Chesterton town
ship, one OF the banner townships in
the state, is entitled to some recogni-
ton and it is no more than right that
one of the appointments should stay in
Porter county.
As for the two men. know them

well qualified for the work Hammond
may have expected something in this
distribution but it will be remembered
that it received a special favor in a
separate superior court, a thing that
will benefit everybody there In MAX
ing these selections I have used my own
judgment"

JUDGE NJ MAHAh
RULES FOR CITY
In Case Of Bondholders of
Water COMPANY Versus
Lap orte.

LaPorte, Ind, March 2S.-Special
Judge McMahan in the LaPorte circuit
court today granted a permanent in
junction to prevent the city of LaPorte
from paying money to the LaPorte
Water Supply company. He held that
the plant, which was built seven years
ago, and which has been in litigation
ever since, is the property of the city.
Eight years ago. when the city's in
debtedness was close to the constitu-
tiona1 Limitation, the LaPorte Water
Supply company was organized, and
later constructed an auxiliary water
plant which cost 100000. The COM
pany issued bonds for $65,O00, which
were taken by the Northern Trust
company of Chicago. Later the city
acquired all the stock of the company
except two shares. Under the franchise
it began paying the company sufficient
money to operate the plant, and for the
bonds and interest as they came due.
Previous to this E. H. Scott and 9TH
er taxpayers had attempted to prevent
the construction of the plant, but the
lower court refused an injunction. Upon
appeal the Indiana supreme court de-
clared that the water company was or
ganized to evade the constitutional
Limitation. AS a result of that ruling
suit was brought to prevent the city
from paying the company money, and
this is the case in which Judge Nc
Mahan ruled today. His decision says
that the city owns the plant regard
less of any claims made by the Chicago
bondholders who are suing in the fed
eral court for receiver and for pos
session of the plant.

CHEAP FOOD IN MAINE.


 Many of the newspaper articles on the cost of yachting are gross ly exaggerated. You can live very we'll on the Maine coast at a cost of four dollars week per mouth, says Country Life in America. This involves catching a certain amount of fish yourself and likewise digging clans and quohogs. l assume, however, that you will find those pursuits part of your pleasure.
 Fresh vegetables, fruits, eggs and wonderful milk may be ob- tained of the natives at mirth- provoking prices. For example. a peck of green peas picked while you wait may cost 20 cents, or a quart of milk and a half peck of new potatoes may come to q quarter, with rhubarb and soda biscuit thrown in to make good measure. Fresh meats, of course. can be had only at the larger harbors, but unless truly epicur- can in taste you will be content to fill out the menu with occa sional canned supplies.

ABSENTEE BONBONS.

Recently the cantonal govern ment of. Vaud, Switzerland, passed a law prohibiting the sale of absinthe. As the people of Vaud were the best customers of the Neuchatel distilleries, these were badly hit by the law, and so set about out maneuvering it.
 The result is "absinthe bon bons,' which are now being placed on the market. Four of them will make a drink when broken into glass, and a spe- cial law will be required to pre- vent their sale.

We are far from blaming the pre- lecture of the Seine for warming us that it is dangerous to drink the water that 1t supplies us without boiling it.

president of the Southern Pacific and
the controlling factor in many OF the

The ACQUISITION of mineral lands,
great tracts of timber lands and the
