CHICAGO LETTER.

Chicago. April 25.-WHEAT-Not as
large a trade today as has been the
case during the earlier part of the
week. Prices, however, has a strong
undertone and despite the large amount
of selling by the fortunate bulls, there
was no recession in values. The crop
news from the southwest was a little
more cheerful. Abundant rains ap-
peared in the northeastern section of
Kansas, combined with snow f1urries
in the western portion put the green
bug out of commission, temporarily
at least Five ghts of a cent for the
active futures comprised the entire
fluctuations of the day. The cash de-
mand continues good. sales today were
close TO 100000 bushels to the seaboard
This is more OF a bull argument than
the crop damage stories. The market
closed fairly strong
CORN-As was remarked yesterday,
shorts in May corn We're given a lit
tie twist today. The market for this
option sold at fifty cents, the highest
so far this year. Shorts were anxious
buyers throughout the session. The
situation is a serious one for bears, in
the May option especially. as the abil-
ity TO procure the corn to deliver is
exceedingly doubtful The more defer
red futures sympathized with the ad-
vance in the May but not to any re-

HAMMOND'S DAY TO BE PROUD.

This is Hammond's day to be proud.
There has been a good deal said
about progress in this region of late
and there Is a good deal to show for it,
but the occasion has arrived today to
prove to the world that this rushing
community is not sailing under false
colors. The structure that is being
dedicated this afternoon is one to which
Hammond and Lake county may well
point with pride" for years to come.
even though the expectations OF the
most sanguine prognosticator are real
lied. The federal building has been
built on generous lines with liberal al
lowance for the development that can
not fail
While too much cannot be said in
praise of Congressman Crumpacker in
securing to Hammond the new build
ing. it must also be admitted that even
influential backing is not alone suf-
hcient to lead the United States gov
eminent into the expenditure of
$500, 900. Mere favoritism does not
count with Uncle Sam. Those who
administer government affairs in a
money sense have got to be shown and
a structure of the proportions and
elaborateness of that which ornaments
the corner of State and Oakley streets
cannot be had for the asking.
Those who had the final say in the
present instance were sure the circum-
stances warranted 1t, before an appro-
priation for a new postoffice was
granted. 1t is not intended TO rob Con-
gresham Crumpacker of the laurels he
has won. 1t was due to his enterprise
and faith and influence that the needs
OF Hammond were brought prominent
ly and convincingly before the proper
parties 1t was due to Hammonds pos
sibilities, or rather the certainties of
its future which when adequately
demonstrated, received their substan-
tiaI recognition. To use a forceful If
inelegant colloquialism. Hammond was
there with the goods"
Today distinguished men from
diana and its neighbor state, Illinois,
are present to feHcitate Hammond and
the surrounding locality on this great

work to one end. the public good of all.

The Hon. Jonathan, better known as

"A great crisis now confronts this
country. The reactionaries are de-
termined. If possible. to obtain control
Of the government and use it for their
own personal advantage. and to the
detriment of the people. The republic
an policies, as promulgated by Presi-
dent Roosevelt, are the rights Of man
and the absolute sovereignty of the
people. The issue no before this coun-
try Is: Shall the advocates of the
rights Of the people and of the power
and majesty of the government, or
shall the enemies OF both, prevail The
people must decide"

as to them. Hear him:

this: That each man shall do precisely

Bryan, Give Democrats Chance

Leading democratic papers see no
hope Of success next year if Mr.. Bryan
is to be the democratic candidate. We
have already quoted the Times, the
World and the evening Post of New
York to this effect. Now the Charles
ton News and Courier are quite out
spoken. In an editorial entitled Mr..
Bryan Ought to Give His Party a
Chance" it argues that Mr.. Bryan has
had his party by the throat, and that if
he does not let go, what has been will
be. Admitting that he is the most
prominent democrat in the country,
and has been for twelve years, the
News and Courier say that there is a
conviction among democrats all over
the country that the party could have
absolutely no chance of winning with
him. He simply cannot be elected, it
says. and it urges him to declare def
nitely that he will not accept a nomi-
nation; that somebody else ought to
have a chance; that the democratic
party ought to have a chance" Then
this:
We have the greatest respect for Mr..
Bryan as a man, but as a candidate
and as a leader of his party he has
proved in three national campaigns
to be failure. We wish he could be
persuaded to declare his purpose not
to afffict the party once more with his
candidacy. Surely the party has sac
rificed enough in his behalf to justify
him in sacrificing something of person
al ambition and individual opinion for
the sake of the party.
Recall Mr.. Bryans position at his
return from Europe and then look at
these heartfelt statements from these
great democratic newspapers, North
and South. Could any change be more
profound? And could anything be
stranger? Yes, one; that is the mani
fest feeling (and statemenO that still

can be its candidate if he within

NEW YORK LETTER.

New York, April 25.-The stock mar
ket opened dun and listless. Prices
swayed back and forth within a narrow
range. There was practically no feat
ure to the market barring a temporary
weakness In Union Pacific in the early
trading This issue declined fom 14124
to IA, but at the decline splendid buy
ing appeared which turned the entire
market from weak to strong The
crop situation the entire market from
weak to strong. The crop situation as
reported from the west was not so dis
couraging as yesterday. still, traders
keep a watchfuI eye upon the wheat
market to note any radical changes.
One of the failures of an otherwise
embarrassing market was the break
in Chicago & Great Western stocks.
All Of the bonds and the common stock
showed declines varying from one to
three points. The "A" and "B" bonds
were especially weak, the former de-
Ginning from SO to so, while the latter
broke from II to 1914. The common
shares opened at 1919 and sold down
1O12 the lowest price these shares
have sold in a great many years. There
was nothing especially new in the way
of news to cause the depression in
Great Western stocks only that Presi-
dent Stickney is in the limelight at
present in the way of doing some high
financing in the way of overcapitaliza-
ton. 1t is said that the inters tate COM
merce commission will probably hold
an investigation of the affairs and
management of the company.
There We're periods during the day
that the ticker did not record a quota
ton for five minutes at time. Dull
ness and stagnation. What little trade
there was had the professional char
acterto it. The market closed irregular
with a slight advance in the higher
priced shares, the others practically un-
changed.

SPRINKLE THE STREETS.

1t was a far seeing weather man
that turned on the water and the snow
today to settle the dust that has been
blowing through the city for the past
few days.
People all over the town have been
asking why it is that no steps have
been taken by the city to sprinkle the
streets. on South Holman street the
conditions has been intolerable.
The streets have been torn up so
repeatedly that they are now no bet
ter than country roads and are much
inferior to some OF the country pave
ments.
The dust not only blew up and down
the streets, but it blew through the
houses and in some cases undid a
whole springs work in house clean
ing. 1t is hard apparently for some
OF the city officials TO realize that there
is an economic loss TO the citizens of
Hammond when such conditions are
allowed 10 exist.
Several prospective property owners
have made the statement recently that
they do not care to own residence prop
erty on some of the prominent streets
Of Hammond for the reason that the
traffic is SO great that their homes
would be filled with dust.
This means a decreased demand for
this property and a consequent reduc-
ton in its value. The question then is
up to the property owners. Are you
going to sit by and see your property
deprecated in value because some
negligent city officials do not see to II
that the streets are sprinkled?

STANDARD OIL WORKMAN HURT.
Albert Sacher's Foot Slips Causing
Him to Fall Fifteen Feet.

Albert Sacher of Whiting employed
by the Standard Oil company, as boiler
maker, was badly injured yesterday
while atwork on one of the large
stills.
Sacher was making some repairs on
the still when his foot slipped letting
him fall to the ground a distance of
fifteen feet, bruising his body and in
juring him internally.
He was picked up by fellow work
men and taken to his nome on Schrei-
Der street where he lies in a critical
condition.
Sacher is a married man and has a
family.

FEVER PATIENT ESCAPES.

Stephen Wagner, who has been con-
fined at st. Margaret's hospital with
malarial fever, escaped from the insti-
tuition yesterday and was roaming over
the city Yesterday afternoon he was
captured by Captain Austgen Of the
Hammond police force and was lodged
in jail. DR.. Kelley was summoned and
he says that Wagner is insane and
should be taken to the insane asylum.
So far nothing has been done with him
and he is being held at the station.
