House Cleaning.

The good housekeeper never tears

the contrary, she takes one floor at a
time, beginning Mt the attic and de-
scending. last Of all, to the cellar. In
the attic. first the waste paper. old
shoes, old garments and dilapidatcd
household utensils must be cleared
out. Everything for which no good

GET WATCH AND CASH
Burglars Enter Whitelaw

Other Thefts.

Thieves who entered the Whitelaw
home at 116th and Roberts avenue last
night secured $50 but overlooked 5000
that was within few feet of the $50
L. Whitelaw of Chicago came out
from Chicago yesterday and carried
with him about 5000 and while Mr.
Whitelaw was unable to give de-
scription he felt that he was being
shadowed by two Chicago crooks who
followed him to his sons home at 10th
street and Roberts avenue. While re-
tiring last evening the son hung his
trousers which contained $50 and an
open faced gold watch on a chair
in the room while the father hung
his trousers containing the larger
amount on the bed post The White
law home is on the second floor and in
order to gain entrance the thieves took
out a window serene. They rifled the
pockets of the younger mans clothes
getting $50 in cash and also a gold
watch.
Burglars broke into the Geisen build
ing on State street last night and rob-
bed the gas meter securing in all about
$12. The meters that were broken open

police then took up a murder theory,
but the facts in the case did not point
towards a solution on that theory The
boy had no money to amount to any
thing and why any person would com

Rowan left his home last night
shortly after the dinner hour and when
he did not return at an early hour as
was his custom. his parents became
alarmed. They waited. however. think
ing that he might have decided 10 spend
the night with relatives or friends.
1t was nearly o'clock this morning
when the motorman of an early car
saw the dark form lying across the
track and stopped his car just in time
to avoid running over his body. With
the conductor and few early passen-
gers they picked up the body and took
il into the car and brought it to the
car barns at Ninety street,
where a physician was summoned.
The boy was alive when picked up
but he died on the way TO the barns.
The body was then taken TO Murphy 5

will be held. The lad was well known
about South Chicago, as were his par
ents, both Of whom are living. He was

will be granted, refers to Stanton ave-

State street faction to impress the
board with the advisability of grant
ing the franchise for eitler street.
The petition that is being circulated
today among the street people gives
number of reasons why the lin,
should use State street, principal o.
which are the facts that track OF
Stanton avenue would endanger tn,
lives of the children who attend tn
Stanton avenue public school, and tn

avenue; that it is generally conceded
that West State street is the mali

people coming in on Stanton avenu

the terminal would go to Hammon
directly to transact their business; tha
State street, containing the principa
business places of West Hammon
would at least retain part of the trad
that would otherwise all go TO Ham
mond.
The eagerness of the people on bot
streets to get the car line shows tha
line, thus making easy sailing for tn

Should the board decide in favor o

would gain the additional advantag
of cutting off any competing line com

Whiting southeast to the southern

practically the only remaining means
of a competing company entering the
city.
See Dual Meaning Here.
Those who have read the following
clause carefully see a dual meaning
In It, detecting two franchises en-
bodied in the one. Said railway COM
pany is hereby authorized to manu-
facture electricity for light heat. power
and signals. for the purpose of selling
same to Industries and to the public,
and to erect a power house therefor,
and may erect and maintain the nee
essary poles and wires therefor and
may also use the wires on the poles
hereinafter authorized for that purpose.
Use This as Club.
This is the clause they are using to
attempt to force the city to grant the
franchise. The said railroad company
will macadamize Gnd keep in good re-
pairs that portion of said streets oc-
cupied by it with its tracks, and shall
keep such part of said streets and such
tracks reasonably free from ruts and
cutters. and in such condition that
vehicles can cross and pass on and from
same without unnecessary inconveni-
ence. If said city shall pave the re-
nainder of the said streets abuting on
such tracks with brick, asphaltum,
stone or other such durable material,
the said railway company its successors
or assignees shall pave with a standard
quality of vAtrihed brick or stone that
portion of said street occupied by its
tracks. etc"
The street railway company claims
that in no other way will their right
of way be paved by the company, as
the old franchise which still has nine
years TO run does not compell them to
do it.
Has Appearance of Deception.
Said railway company to permit any
other electric road or roads by lease OIL
| contract, to operate its or their cars or
| the tracks of the railway company
on such terms as may be mutually
agreed upon" This section will beal
careful study as it can be construed
in many ways and bears the appearance
of deception.
Single truck cars may be used fol
| eighteen months hence and then "oc
casionally" after that by the following
provision: Railway company hereby
agrees to operate its road in Whiting
with double truck cars from and afte
eighteen months from the acceptanc,
of this ordinance by said railway com
pany, except in emergencies. when /
may operate single truck cars"
The last section which is brough
TO public attention is one of the mos
important of all and does not requir
study or much intelligence TO con
denim 1t. This is section 90 and read
as follows: "AH Of the privileges here
