Pure Food and Milk.

The pure food campaign in Indiana
is proceeding and not only are food
conditions receiving attention, but san
ltary conditions are also receiving
their share. State Chemist Barnard IS
getting reports from the various in
spectors who are at work and some
Of these are anything but pleasing.
They indicate that the situation is even
worse than expected as regards some
supplies, although general food condi-
lions are somewhat better than antic-
ipated. One of the epecial foods being
given attention is that of milk.
While the official will not name the
cities in which the inspectors have
been at work his observations are
nevertheless very interesting, especial
~ to those who have been following
the local agitation for certified milk.
Mr.. Barnard shows considerable sur
prise because milk is bad, even though
conditions were not expected to be IN
usually good. In speaking of the sup
ply in one Indiana city the chemist
says that the people there would In a
single year consume in their milk
about two tons of dirt and filth. And
yet there are probably people in that
city who would not enter into a move
ment which would insure cleanliness in
handling the supply.
If the food campaign does nothing
more than force pure milk in the va
rious Indiana cities 1T will have &C.
complished much. There are, however
other abuses which are sure to be cor.
rected One of the worst Of these has
to do with slaughter houses. Mr.. Bar
nard says that conditions are awful
just that, and inspectors are ordering
the places cleaned at once
The food campaign. the work of tn.
chemist and his assistants will b,
very beneficial to the entire state

SHEDS MORE LIGHT ON
HISTORY OF POSTOFFICE

THE LAKE COUNTY TIMES acknow-
lodges with thanks the following COM
munication from c. w. Whitney re-
garding the history of the Hammond
postofice as printed in the federal
building souvenir edition yesterday:
Editor LAKE COUNTY TINES:
In THE LAKE COUNTY TIMES yesterday
you had a review OF the growth of
Hammond's postofice from $500 to
$4,000 yearly revenue, l noticed one
inaccuracy, which though not of very
material consequence, still anything of
a historical nature. which may be pre-
served as a reference should be abso-
utely correct when it is possible to
get accurate information.
In speaking of the appointment of J.
7, Krost as postmaster by the first
Cleveland Illustration, your article
reads: Then Mr.. Krost became post
master and caused the office to be
moved to a building then located on
the present site of the Heintz block
and afterwards destroyed in Ham
monds most disastrous fire"
AS a matter Of fact. the building
that Mr.. Krost moved the postofffce
into after his appointment in 1885 was
the same building now located there
Except that at that time it was but one
story high. and was owned by the late
George Summers who later sold it to
Mr.. Hefntz for S11,700. Mr. Heintz re-
modelled the building and added a sec
ond story. The predecessor Of this
building on the above site was a three
story frame building on the above site
was a three story frame building
known as the Commercial block. 1t
caught fire about o'clock one morn
ing in the latter part of December,
1888 and burned together with the
buildings across the street where the
fiat iron building now stands. The
Commercial block ana tile other build
ings burned were the property of NJ
NJ Towle
The late T. T. Towle had meat
market in the building and I was in
the market and made a purchase about
ten minutes before the fire was dis
covered. George Summers owned the
corner Of Holman and Plummer at
that time, building on the latter cor
ner and occupied by John schHnger as
saloon was burned about two months
prior to the Commercial block fire. Ir
the summer of 1884 the Monon railroad
extended their line through town and
though M. NJ. Towle made an exchange
whereby they came in possession of tht
corner Of Holman and Plummer and
Mr.. Summers became the owner of The
Heintz block corner and erected the
building thereon. The Cleveland-B Blaine
campaign was in 1884 and Mr. Kros
was appointed postmaster early in tn,
summer of 1885.

CHICAGO LETTER.

Chicago, April 25.-WHEAT-With
the green bugs working overtime; lack
of expected rains in the winter wheat
belt and an excellent cash demand from
all sources, the wheat market showed
a sensational advance of two cents
bushel, maintaining the entire gain up
to the closing hour. Some of the best
Judges and crop experts who have been
travelling throughout the state of Kan
sas are quoted as saying that in some
counties the loss to the crop will reach
fifty per cent. One expert in particu-
lar claims the state will not raise over
rs million bushels. This is a conser-
vative view in the extreme. Consider
ing that the crop last year was about
90 million it is believed his views are
too high The market responded read
lily to the buying wave which started
from all OF the bullish news in cir
culation 1t had the appearance of an
fashioned bull market and with in
dications pointing to further advances,
barring a change in the weather con-
dtions.
CORN:-Scored another advance to-
day, partly in sympathy with the
strength in wheat but mainly upon the
better cash demand and a rapid rise in
the prices of cash corn in the sample
market. Sales to the seaboard were
large at 05.O00. The market closed
strong at the advance.
| OATS:-Ruled strong but not so &C
tive as the other grain pits. One of the
leading longs has been a seller of May
and buying September. This interest
has used various brokers to disguise
the operation so that he would not have
too much company on that side. Sales
to the seaboard 215.0Oo. Cash oats in
the sample market stronger. The spe-
culative market closed steady.

Primary movement.
BUNCH OF CACHED BOOZE
North Dakota Officials Find a Store oil
Hard Drinks in a
Gave

Bismarck, n. D., April &c. - State
Temperance Commissioner Murray,
Mayor Smith and Chief of Police Carr
raided a cave one block from the
Northern Pacific station, Selling about
$1,000 worth of whisky, beer, brandy
and wine. The local authorities are
determined on a strict enforcement OF
the prohibition law Several arrests
for bootlegging have already been
made, and this raid disclosed the fact
that this out-of-the-way cave in the
hillside south of the city has long been
used as a storehouse for intoxicating
liquors.
The door was doubly padlocked and
entrance was effected only by tunnel
ing under the strongly-barred door.
-Four wagons We're required to haul
the liquor to the capitol building, where
it was securely locked IN the state
strong box. The owners of the goods
have not been located.

ANOTHER MAN GONE WRONG.

William Loeb, jr., secretary to the
president. is the latest government
attache who has been gobbled by a
corporation.If reports are true he is
to resign his position at the White
House to become president of a street
railway company in Washington.
Secretary Loeb may know q whole
lot about how to conduct a street car
concern. We are not prepared to say
that he doesn't, though If he does, he
has not acquired the knowledge while
acting In the capacity of secretary to
the president.
The chances are, however. that if he
had not held that office, he would never
have been chosen to serve as presi-
dent Of the street railway company.
The idea is that a mans qualifications
may be great as a secretary and meagre
as president of a corporation, but this
does not apparently enter into his
choice to fill the high-salaried position.
There seems to be a scramble among
corporations nowadays to secure the
services of men who have served hon
orably as government attaches. If a
man has the good fortune to be APP
pointed to the position of a cabinet
officer at Washington, or a position
with cabinet complexion, that person s
fortune is made. It's a great ad to
so to Washington in the right way.

HERE WITH SMITHS WILL
Document That Disposes of $50, OOO,.
100000 to $75, 100000, So
the Guessing Goes.

New York, April 26.-Sir George
Cooper and Lady Cooper, brother-in-
law and sister of the late James Henry
Smith, who died in Kioto, Japan, on
March 81, leaving an estate of from
S50.0OO,000 to $75,O00,0OO, has arrived
here to await the arrival of the bodT
of their kinsman at this city Sir
George brought with him the will, and
said he did not anticipate a contest.
Asked concerning the report that Lady
Cooper was one of the main bene-
ficaries, Sir George replied: "She is
his sister, is she not?'' Concerning
the heirs in Evanston, H., and other
sections Of the country, he declined
to speak, reiteratfng the statement
that he did not anticipate any con-
test.

From the opening yesterday the mar
ket had to contend against the adverse
factor of an advance in the price of
wheat, the July option rising to high
er level than 1t had previously reached
this season. Try as they would the big
professional operators could not induce
their less important brethren to take
cheerful view of thee rop outlook,
the significance of the weather report
issued Tuesday having too deeply i'm
pressed itself in the popular mind to
be soon forgotten. Until this report
was issued, there was only the not
very reliable and disinterested testi-
mony of so-called crop experts regard
ing unfavorable conditions in the corn
belt, but the government report made it
clear that there was at least some
ground for doubt as to whether a con-
siderable acreage would not have to be
plowed up and replanted to some other
crops.

The scheduled professional attack on
the stock market, mentioned yesterday
afternoon and again in the early at
ternoon, came before the close with
indications that further reactionary OPP
erations would be attempted today on
account of the several specifically IN
favorable features developing. There
was too much stock for sale above the
high levels of yesterday, as pointed out
in the morning might prove to be the
case, and pools are not strong enough
to take it and make a broad market
We do not see why speciality manipula-
ton is not adopted, but it may be taken
up again. As to the effectiveness of
further reactionary operations today,
we doubt that anything OF Importance
can be accomplished after the specula-
tive realizing mentioned yesterday as
startling shall have run its course.
With aggressive bull manipulation we
have not the slightest doubt that a
good outside participation would be
enjoyed, but without it the public ma
turally remains uninterested.

Detailed stock gossip: If the mar
ket opens up considerably on the bank
rate reduction, other professionals will
sell; If it opens lower and is soft, they
will purchase for scalp. B. R. T., as
stated yesterday, will be sold by pro-
fessionals on all advances, because of
pool offerings toward SO. The five cent
fare bill is naturally bear card. Too
much bullish news was evidently re-
sponsible for the slump in Union Pa
cifc, which as stated, must take the
144 level stock before higher prices can
be seen. Some supporting orders are
reported around 140. Reading met OPP
position toward 113, as expected. A
great deal of speculative realizing took
place toward 1876 in Northern Pacific
yesterday. Supporting orders are in
the market toward 100 on a scale down.
Pennsylvania is held between 1896
Atchison, 1896; Steel, 1888.

Scattering sales of bonds were in evil
denee on the tape during the opening
trading yesterday and to an extent not
usually seem During the day the ticker
reflected an appearance of activity in
that quarter of the market. An adj
vance off a point in the Rock Island
collateral trust tours attracked atten-
ton, but it lacked signifcane. Broker
age houses report inquiries for some
of the speculative bonds which are at
tractive because of the low price at
which they are quoted. They combine
a degree of security and a good re-
turn, which is inviting to those who
have lost money in stocks.

Beveridge on Meat Prices.

THE reason for the high price of
steaks is not the greed of the beef
trusts. but because everybody is de-
handing sirloin and porter house
steaks" says Senator Beveridge. Well,
senator, If everybody is demanding sir
ioin and porter house steaks. that de-
mand ought to make pork mutton,
chicken and round steaks cheaper, but
apparently all meat has kept pace with
sirloin and porter house.-Lafayette

got credit for the rise in American
Smelling and Refining that came about
noon, but was checked by what appear
