.LONDON'S LORD MAYOR
Sir John G. Bell Elected
According to Custom
in Middleages.

London. Sept. 2S.-All We that are not
'iverymen depart this hall on pain OF
imprisonment"
With this cry of the middle ages the
solemnmace- bearer opened the quaint
proceedings of the Guildhal today
which resulted in the election of Sir
Charles Bell as the next Lord Mayor of
London.
This empty ceremony Of electing the
chief magistrate Of the greatest city
in the world is held on St. Michaelmas
day each year and is one of the most
quaint and striking survivals Of the
middle ages. Unlike all other great
municipalities, London's Lord Mayor is
not the choice of the Common Council
or political clique. he must needs
have been elected alderman of his ward
by the ratepayers many years before
being eligible for the MayoraHty. He
must have served as sheriff by the cleo
ton Of 5000 Hverymen, representing
the wealthiest and most influential cit
liens. AS sheriff he must have the APP
prevail of the King. and on Lord May
ors day he must visit the law courts
and before the judges the recorder of
the city recites his past history.
On the day of the election the mem
bers of the ancient city companies. or
'liveries," assemble in the Guildhall.
All but the liyerymen are excluded from
the building; even the retiring Lord
Mayor and all his colleagues must with
draw at the word of the town crier on
pain of imprisonment. The stately pro-
cession walks from the adjoining
Church of Old Jewry where service
has preceded the election, and from the
Guildhau hustings the common ser
geant reads the names of the candi-
dates for the Mayorality, and the name
Of the one upon whom the assembled
liverymen have already agreed is
greeted with cheers, whereupon the al
dermen are called to make the final
decision. and in a few minutes the
Lord Mayor elect is called to give his
consent to take the Office.
The guilds or livery companies. to
whom is confided the voting power and
| the election of Lord Mayor, date back
to Saxon days.

vile Keeps Promises
Made to Village.
Especial to Lake County Times.)

Especial to Lake County Ttmes.)
Griffith. Ind, Sept 26.-Ohcials of
the Chicago, Cincinnati & Louisville
road have proven that they are men of
their word. At least the people here
are we'll satisfied on that point and
nothing is heard now but praise for the
honest and business like manner in
which they have fulfilled the terms of
agreement as set forth in their fran
chise.
The Communication tickets which they
agreed to furnish We're promptly put
on sale on the day set and the rates
are as good or better than any of the
other roads given. Twenty-Five ride
tickets TO Chicago from here are sold
for 81 cents a ride, while ten ride
tickets can be had for cents more per
ride The Erie, when the cent rate
went into effect took off it's twenty five
ride tickets altogether and raised the
rate of it's ten ride tickets. So the
people are naturally well pleased with
the new road.
And they are doing even more than
promised, for they are stopping all
their fast trains here as we'll as the
local ones, and giving good service.
The sewerage and drainage which
they were to look after along their
right of way, is being arranged for as
rapidly as possible, and will doubtless
be completed before cold weather
With all this demonstration of good
intentions before them, the people feel
that the road is interested in their well
fare and are ready to render it any
personal favor possible. that it might
ask. The town board too. is in for its
share of praise. for the foresight with
which these things were provided for
and the manner in which they have
| delt with the road.

Romance, However.
Especial to Lake County Times1

NSpeclal 10 Lake county 1ImeS.)
South Chicago. Sept. 26.-The mar
riage craze, it seems has struck tele-
phone operators and employees of the
Illinois Steel company, with great force
this week. First it was the announce
ment and later the marriage of William
Siagle and Miss Jeanette Maddox of the
South Chicago Telephone Exchange
and yesterday Miss Margaret Shanly
was married to Frank X. Heydorn
general foreman of the south works of
the Illinois Steel company al South Chi
eago.
About 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon
over forty guests assembled at the
parochial residence of Father O'Reilly
of st. Patricks church where the cere-
monies were performed. Miss Shanly
was attended by her sister Gertrude
while Fred Heydorn acted as best man.
After the wedding ceremonies had been
performed the guests retired to the re-
ception room where a wedding supper
was served. The newly married couple
were the recipients of many beautiful
presents Although the wedding was
a quiet affair and not generally known.
there were a large number of guests
present.
Mr. and Mrs. Heydorn were escorted
to their new home at 1911 Muskegon
avenue. where the brides parents have
erected a snug little furnished home.
Mr. and Mrs. Heydorn will be at home
to their many friends in South Chicago
and Windsor Park after Oct. l.
The bride and groom are both we'll
known in South Chicago and today both
are kept busy receiving congratula-
tions from their friends. In an inter
view with LAKE COUNTY TINES reporter
this morning Mrs Heydorn said she
wished to impress upon the reporters
mind that she did not get acquainted
with Mr.. Heydorn over the phone.

CATARRH IS DURABLE.
Successful Experiments in Abating and
Curing This Disease.

Catarrh is an entirely unnecessary
disease and should not be tolerated for
q single day now that Hyomet is so
generally known and has made so many
cures in Hammond and other towns.
Until comparatively recent times ca
tarrh was thought to be a blood disease
and stomach dosing the only treatment.
Modern science finally disproved this
Idea of the cause of catarrh. and found
that it was a germ disease and, after
many experiments, the remedy was de-
cided to be Hyomei
Hyomei medicates the air you
breathe it kills the catarrhal germs; 1T
heals the smarting and raw mem
branes of the passages in the nose and
throat; 1T cures all catarrhal troubles.
AS there is life and health in the air
in the mountain tops where the pine
forests give off their fragrant and heal
ing balsams, so there is life and health
in breathing Hyomei. There is no need
of suffering from catarrh If the simple
and natural treatment of Hyomei is
used.
So sure is this prescription to cure
even the worst cases of catarrh, that

PREDICT WHEAT SHORTAGE.
Great Activity Prevails on the chiea-

Chicago. H. 49, The last week on
the Chicago board Of trade has seen
a revival OF the activity which pre-
vailed there several years ago and Il
IS predicted by the more optimistic
traders that business will continue at
a higher level for some time TO come.
The cold weather conditions
throughout the west and southwest
have been the chief cause OF the in
creased value Of trade. Never in
the history Of the weather bureau
has such extended and such severe
weather existed at this time OF the
year The result has been a growing
conviction ON the part OF many trad
ers and commission men that the
crop Of winter wheat has been serl-
ously damaged aud one excellent aus
thoriiy made the pndictlon that tho
crop win Dc about 100 million bushels
