South Chicago, Oct STANLEY Vase
lik, the notorious bandit who was cap
tured by the South Chicago police and
who later escaped from the Cook county
jail, will be tried tomorrow for hold
ing up the Bridge saloon and for
committing burglary in the saloon of
Victor Skoog, 1901 Commercial avenue
and for many other robberies. William
Rogers will also be tried at the same
time and he is also supposed to be
guilty of numerous crimes.
The history of the notorious criminal
it filled with daring holdups and rob-
berries. 1t is thought that he has been
involved in over one hundred crimes
in which he played a leading part in
terrorizing his victims. He is well
known for his wonderful GOODNESS and
the shrewd manner in which he
handles himself in tight places. No
desperate in the annals of crime in
Chicago caused more rejoicing by his
capture than Waselik, who was ar
rested Sept 8.
Makes His Escape.
On Sept. %, Waselik with his part
ner, William Rogers, broke out of the
county jail in a most daring manner
and had it not been for the fact that
he injured his foot as he jumped to
the ground he would undoubtedly be
at liberty at the present time rather
than preparing himself TO face Judge
Windes with a certainty of conviction
The wonderful escape from the jail
was not wondered tat by those who
were familiar with the story OF
Waselik's depredations and Knew the
character of the man. Tho those who
did not know him, however it ap-
peared to be the most bold and sue
cessfully planned delivery ever at
tempted in the city.
Wasehks capture it will be remem
bered, was made by Officers Barchard
McShane and Quinn after a hard chase
in which several shots We're exchanged
between the fugitive and his captors
He was finally cornered in the base
ment of a building and gave up after
desperate struggle. He was theT
brought to the Fifteenth precinct sta
ton. where an extra guard was placed
around him to prevent his escape.

Of assault and battery upon pretty
foreign girl in Melville avenue in what
is known as the Oklahoma district
The girl refused to give her name at

that she would appear today as pros

be continued until tomorrow.
Erkedy dropped into the girls home
under the pretense of wanting to sell
his goods when suddenly according to
the girls charges he began to make
violent love to her, laying hands upon
her and frightening her half out of her
senses. The girl screamed and calling
in the neighbors the intruder tried to
make his escape. The police were, how
ever hurriedly summoned and the ar
rest made Erdeky is still in the city

WARDEN STARTS NEW SYSTEM.
Grants Each Prisoner Personal Inter
view once Every Six Months.

Jefrersonvine. Ind. Oct. 7.-superin-
tendent w. H. Whitaker of the Indi-
ana Reformatory, has just completed
the task of talking with each inmate
of the institution twice during the past
twelve months. 1t is his plan TO talk
with each of the prisoners about every
six months in order to hear their griev-
ances. if they have any. to encourage
them and give advice. He has found
these talks very helpful to the inmates,
who seem to appreciate the opportunity
given them and who are. as rule,
more careful to observe the rules Of the
prison thereafter. The task which Mr..
Whitaker assigned himself means that
he had no less than 5000 such talks
during the last twelve months.

ment on Repairs.

faces a temporary solution owing to
the efforts of the local board Of public

Railway company, to accompany him to
Crown Point where tile two men in
company with H H. Easterly, the con-
suIting engineer OF the street car COM
panv went before the board Of county
commissioners to make arrangements
for an appropriation. Mr.. Rhode see
ing no other way out of the difficulty
excepting to help pay part of the repair
expenses on the city's part and thus
induce the county commissioners and
the street car to share the expense.
Mr.. Rhodes original proposition be-
fore the commissioners this morning
was that the city and county each bear
one-fourth of the expenses while the
half. The street car representative
objected to this proportion and the com
missioners finally arranged another
agreement by which the city pay one
fourth, the county one-third and the
street car the balance The company
engineer figured that the expense OF
repairing the bridge at a little less
than $1,000.
The board held special session this
afternoon when the agreement came
up for ratification.

TYPOS PROTEST.
VIII Ask President Roosevelt
to Abrogate the Order.

by special wire to THE ARaUs.l
Washington, D.. c., July 22.-The
Columbia Typographical Union, of this
city, last night adopted resolutions
denouncing public printer Stillings in
issuing his order imposing a fine on
proof readers in the Government Print
ing offices for overlooking errors in
proof.
Appeal will be made to the President
to abrogate the order.
Ill feeling has resulted from the &C.
ton of Public Printer Stillings in fin
ing w. f. Dorsey and w. A. Pfeffer,
two proofreaders of the Government
Printing office, $34.25 each for permit
ting the word ''cemetery''to pass them
where the copy read seminary in a
publication of the bureau of education.
The error was detected before many
of the books had beer delivered, SO
that the expense of replacing the defec-
tive sheets amounted to only $685. so.
This was divided as a fine between the
two proofreaders by MI. Stillings as an
object lesson.

Special to the ARGUS.
Springfield, July %. Republican
politics in Illinois are expected to make
Roadway at Greenfield tomorrow, when
q celebration will be held of the forty
seventh anniversary of the famous
speech of Owen p. Lovejoy, which
opened the Lincoln campaign. The
speech Lovejoy delivered on that occa-
sion obtained national fame.
Lincoln often quoted from this speech
and in 1888 Robt. G. Ingerso1 declared
that Lovejoy's speech was the greatest
political address ever delivered in
America.
Gen. John M. Palmer presided at the
meeting. which was held on the Stowe
farm, in the northeast corner of Jersey
county, where Maceupin and Greene
counties touch her borders.
Though there were no railroads In
that section of the state at the time, the
crowd hat assembled was SO large
there was difficulty in feeding them.
It has been arranged for tomorrow's
celebration to be held at the same loca-
ton.
Among the prominent Republican
leaders of Illinois who have promised
to take part are Gov. Deneen, Speaker
Cannon, ex-Sen. VIM. e. Mason and
ex-Gov. Richard Yates.

A Sustaining Diet.

These are the e~nervating days, when
as somebody has said. men drop by
the suDstroka as if the Day of Fire had
dawned. They are fraught with dan
ger to people whose systems are poor
ly sustained; and this leads us to say,
in the interest of the less robust of our
readers, that h full effect of Hoods
SarsapariIla is such as to suggest the
propriety of calling this medicine
something besides a blood purifier and
tonic,-say, a sustaining diet. It makes
it much easier to bear the heat. assures
refreshing sleep, and will without any
doubt avert much sickness at this time
of year.
