You have made a law preventing the unlawful use of money by corpora tions for political purposes, and when you consider how debauching this has vice corporations have used money taxed from the people to control the electorate and how many of our citizens were brought by the use of these funds under their debauchinx influence. YOU can appreciate the importance of this law.

Comparison With Other states.


 Your action was fortified by the ex- perience of Georgia, Carolina and Vir- ginia as well as other states as in all of them where the fight for equaliza- than these made by you was accom- plished by them The railroads there also claimed that it was drastic and destructive. yet the experience and t. operation In those states has shown that it was neither. Referring again to the history of Iowa, because it shows that after the establishment of eoualized freight rates, put In as they were by Judge Brewer against the pro tests of the railroads, and the rail- confiscate and destroy them, the facts show the wisdom of Judge Brewer In refusing the injunction; the wisdom of the people in demanding these lower freight rates. because from this equall- zatlon of freight rates in thatState the property of that State has largely in creased railroad building has largely increased and railroad prosperity Is everywhere evident. and the experience of the trial given by Judge Brewer in a great success. and no one now thinks of going back to the old method.
 For further confirmation in the Iowa case I refer to President Roosevelts recent speech in Indianapolis in which he distinctly alludes to the good re- suits that come to the railroads and the people as an effect of the peoples control of the freight rates and re- striction of charges of the railroads peoples control of the railroads in
 The railroad claimed before the Georgia authorities and the Georgia courts that 1t would destroy and con- verse. The same has been tried in Mis- AourL Iowa. Moth Carolina ana VtRRlnka.

Fashion Hints for Bathers.

Fine mohair is a good material for
your bathing suit. although white
taffeta is preferred by some. You can
secure either at any reliable remnant
sale.
Brown shoes with laces OF prevail
Ing tint are considered chic. although
a pair OF plaid shoes with checked
laees recently attracted some atten-
ton.
A little Russian embroidery can be
used with tasty effect. and a Breton
collar with a complete bathing suit
attached was one OF the novelties
shown at recent public display.
In selecting your material always
get goods that rain VIII not spot.
Thundershowers have an awkward
way OF coming up suddenly at sea-
side resorts. and they often catch the
bather without an umbrella.
Above all, try to remember that the
selection Of a bathing suit Is a ques-
ton of quality and not quantity.

SUPPORT VERSION OF FOUL PLAY
BROTHERS of Albert Hayes Give Reasons
why They Think Unfortunate
Man was Murdered.

Two brothers OF Albert Hayes. the
man who was found in the Calumet
river Thursday evening, We're in Ham
mond yesterday and while here gave
out the information that Hayes was in
the habit of carrying large sums Of
money upon his person and they are
firm in the belief that their brother
did not accidently drown, but was the
victim Of foul play. They pointed out
that when a person browns the body
comes to the surface. But such was
not the case with Hayes. He was seen
alive Thursday morning and was ap-
parently in the best OF health. When
a dead body is cast into the water it
will float, as was the case Of Hayes
and this fact is leading the relatives Of
Hayes to believe that he was murder
ed. The brothers say that Albert was
not a drinking man. A rigid investi-

TRANSPORTATION
GOOD IN FAIR WEEK
The Erie Road Will Furnish
Special Accommodations
For Visitors.

The Erie railroad is planning TO i'm
prove its service to Crown Point dur
ing fair week by the addition of an
extra coach on each of the two trains
bound for the city. From Crown Point
they will be brought back to Ham
mond on the train which returns from
there at 1885.
During the fair week on previous
years the crowds that have attended
from Hammond have found the crush
so great that the trip has been a bur
den instead of a pleasure
This year, however. the above ar
engagements have been made with the
railroad. An extra coach is to be put
on train "a which leaves Hammond at
$50 in the morning and one on train
number &c which leaves this city at
Gao in the evening.
Returning from Crown Point both
Of these coaches viii be attached to
train number II which leaves Crown
Point at 1000 and in this manner it is
believed there viii be no crowding
The fair this year will be more at
tractive than ever before and it is
thought that the crowds will be larger
Every thing is being done to make the
coming week the biggest fair week
that Crown Point has ever seen and
there can be no question of the success
of the promoters.

Business and the Auto.

The application Of the automobile TO
commercial purposes is a question
which is being seriously considered not
only by the manufacturers OF machines
but by business men generally.
The auto IS being adopted in new
ways every day and the possibilities
are now considered as being almost
unlimited. The very fact that an
automobile publication, one OF the best
known magazines Of the kind, is max
Ing an extra effort TO secure informa-
ton on the subject from not only the
larger cities but all sections Of the
country. can be taken as an illustra-
ton Of the trend OF affairs.
The very fact that the auto IS being
so widely adopted to commercial pur-
poses has ceased to be a fad for those
who can afford to indulge. The his
tory Of the bicycle is being repeated.
From a luxury to those able to enjoy
the pleasures OF the bicycle II has
become a necessary adjunct in the
daily life OF the workingman, as well
as a general convenience. The auto
mobile IS going through a like period.
The different stages might be called
the progress Of making the automo-
bile adaptable to business."-South

Street Parade.
CLOWNS CHARM YOUNG
Older Spectators Interested in AMI
mails and Riders-Two
Performances Today.

The big Hargreaves' railroad shows
arrived in Hammond this morning and
viii entertain the residents OF this city
with a matinee and evening per
Torrance today. Shortly after 10
O'Clock the performers with the men
agerie ana horses and two big brass
bands lined up for the street parade.
The march brought the show through
the main streets of the city where a
large crowd was awaiting the attrac-
lions. The clowns with their cut-ups
and antics amused the children along
tho route. while the grown folks looked
on with interest at the riders and ami
mails
The opening performance took place
at o'clock on Hubbard's field where
the big show was camped. and q large
attendance was present to view the
wonderful acts. No matter how many
shows strike town, the people still
flock to each and every one of them.
The performing animals, the slick wire
acts, and the other features were
voted the best ever by many who were
present this afternoon.

Kingdoms; Bolton and Braman; Mile.

Tory trio.
Many of the most thrilling acts are
now given in the air, which brings
them in plain sight of the greatest
number of people in the audience. This.
one of the most prominent and de-
cidedly wonderful developments of the
modern circus, is admirably trans
cendentally typified by the great Har-
greaves' shows. The remainder of the
program is in no measure neglected
and includes a complete array of
eques trian, acrobatic and other acts; a
peerless geological display and a YER
liable army of clowns-fun manu-
facturers who actually produce fresh
fun-human freaks from diverse parts
of the world.

FIGHT OVER RIVAL
BALL TEAMS MERITS
Champions of Sox and Sen
ators Terrorize Passen-
gers on Street Car.
Especial to Lake County Times.l

South Chicago, Aug. 17-Its up to
the White Sox today to prove that f.
Jolson, 1000 Halsted street, Kens-
ington, is correct in his assertion that
they are better team Of baseball
players than the Washington team
JolsOn and a friend, John Heating, of
SG4 Ninety-third street, were put off a
Calumet Electric Street car last night
at Ninety-third and Phillips, because
they blocked traffic with their heavy
arguments. The whole car was in a
hubbub, women screamed and did not
care which team was the better just
so long as there would be no blood
shed. The White Sox champion re-
cefved a black eye gxShile his friend,
Jo1son, has "biffed" jaw to show his
valor. After being put off they con-
tinued their fistic arguments for a time
until the onlookers agreed that the
Sox needed all the support they could
get and sided in with EJolson and thus
stopped the match.
