When Everybody Claims to
Hold Office.

the matter Of the election of its Of
ficers. There are two claimants for
the office of secretary and two for that
of treasurer and at a meeting which
was held yesterday, all four of the Of
ficers attempted to officiate at once
The result was the greatest confusion
and resulted in the determination of
the board to hold another meeting at
which another election could be held
to decide the matter
There We're a large number Of the
members In attendance and when the
meeting began, both Mr.. Vallette and
Mr.. Kirschman proceeded to take the
minutes of the meeting. When they
had finished, however, they were in no
humor to compare notes.
1t is said that Mr.. Vallette was elect
ed at the last meeting of the board
after a spirited discussion. His pre-
decessor, Mr.. Kirschman, however, was
advised to continue in office He did
SO and hence the trouble yesterday.
Both Mr.. Baker and Mr.. Reiner also
ofHciated as treasurer of the board and
an election will be held to decide their
claims to the office.

DOG FISH CAUSES
PRISONERS TO SULK
Knights Of the Tomato Can
Rebel at Sheriff Green's
Diet.

The prisoners in the county Jail at
Valparaiso are up in arms, The sher-
if of Porter county. Lou Green. has
been feeding them dog fish instead OF
some more palatable variety Of the fin
ny tribe and they got next to the fact
the other day.
They suspected they were being fed
carp and although it is easier to bear
the thought of eating carp than dog
fish, they did not like the idea at all.
When, however, they begon an in
vestigation on their own account and
found they were being fed dog fish, the
veriest hobo among them, even the to-
mato can carriers rebelled, and they
now demand that they be fed articles
Of human diet.
OF course they cannot enforce their
demands except to appeal 10 the hui
name society and they hardly feel like
taking these extreme measures. But
the idea of eating dog fish is repulsive
to them and if the warden of the jail
does not change their diet. he is likely
to have some sullen prisoners TO deal
with.
Matter of Dollars and Cents.
The only reason ascribed by the pris-
oners for the fact that they are com
PEELED to eat scavenger fish is that the
warden is allowed so much per pris-
oner for their board. If the men are
fed white fish instead OF dog fish. there
will not be much in the boarding OF
prisoners while the profit on a meal OF
the latter viii be exactly the cost Of
the white fish.
1t is not expected that there VIII be
! any trouble over the matter as Green
| is said to be a good fellow and
knows how far to carry joke. Here
after the DRINKS and hoboes may be a
little charry about some OF the dainty
looking morsels that are placed before
them but after all, the sheriff says il
! may serve 10 keep down the number o.
undesirables.

LUMBER DEALERS
IN STREET BRAWL
Prominent Crown Pointers
Argue; Then Engage in
Fisticuffs.
Especial to Lake County Times.)

Crown Point Ind. Aug Two
prominent lumber dealers, Clayton Root
and Frank Hinderlong, got into a quar-
rel over some plans and specifications
for the new dwelling that is to be
built for the Catholic priest at st. John
and two fist fights resulted before the
matter was finally settled.
The first fight occurred in front of
Laws saloon where they stopped and at
first engaged in a quiet conversation.
They finally got into a heated argu-
ment and several blows were struck
before the fight was stopped
Witnesses of the affair say that Root
struck the first blow and knocked
Hinderlong down on the brick pave
ment. Friends of both parties stepped
in and put an end to the affair.
Renew Trouble Next Day.
The two met again in the postofTice
when Hinderlong asked Root what he
meant by calling him names the even
ing before. Again they engaged in a
heated conversation which ended in
another heated fight.
There were only two persons in the
postotfice at the time. Miss Bessie
Rosenbar, assistant postmistress and
Jacob Steib, who had called for his
mail.
The two men clinched and fell against
the door, smashing the glass. Roots
father happened along and separated
them. The two men then went out
! side and if it had not been for the in
| reference Of friends, would have con-
tinued their fight.
| No arrests have been made but the
affair Is the talk of the town and
everyone seems to have a different
version of the affair. So far, the Cath
Ollie priest. for whom the house was
to be built, has not appeared as ar
arbitrator Of the difficulties Of these
men and it IS not known how soon hos
| tilities will break out again.

HONEY BEES.

After Them the Indian Met the
White Man.
All the honey bees In this country
having originally been imported from
Europe or Asia, there is no racial diff
ference between the wild ones and the
domestieated; those that live In trees
are simply the descendants of
those that from time to time
have taken "French leave. from
their owners hives and reverted
to state of nature. The vast bulk
of the wild bees are of the German
or black race, while the standard
domesticated bee Is the Italian, but
that, however, is only because the Ger
mans were the first to be Introduced
here. Just when the Germans came is
In doubt, but 1t was some time In the
seventeenth century; certainly 1t was
not until near the close of the eigh-
teenth century that any bees were
found west of the Mississippi.
The Indians used to say they could
mark the advance of the white man by
the appearance of bees in the woods.
The italian bees were first imported in
1850. Better tempered and more indus
trious than the Germans, they have be-
come very popular with apiarlsts, but
as many still keep the German bee, and
others have the hybrid formed by the
crossing of the two races, while count
less Italians now have taken to the
woods, there to breed more hybrids, 1t
is clear that there is no sure way of
distinguishing between the wild bee
and the domesticated. Outing.

,T,ya. i'm rater Time.

The late Senator Plat of Connecticut
enjoyed funny stories and could tell a
good many himself. Notwithstanding
his long public life, he always remem-
bered yarn that he carried from his
school days.
One year when the district schools
opened in his town one of the teachers
in making record of the ages of her
pupils, as required by law, found that
one little girl, who came from G family
not noted for being especially bright,
was unable to say when her birthday
came.
So in order to complete her records
the teacher walked two miles to see the
girls mother one afternoon after
school. Asked If she could remember
just when her daughter was born, the
woman thought for some little time
and then, with sort Of puzzled look,
said:
'Well, the gal was born in later time

Crab Ha. 2,ooo,ooo yo,nt..


The crab known as the scale-tailed
apus was believed to have become ex-
Hnct in Great Britain so years ago,
the last recorded specimens being taken
in the ponds on Hampstead Heath. But
now 1t has turned up again in some
numbers in two ponds on Preston
Merse, near Southwlck, In kirkcud-
bridgeshlre. About two and half
inches long, the apus bears very strik-
ing likeness to that remarkable crea.
ture, the king crab, and this because
the fore part of the body is covered by
great semi-circular shield, or cara
pace, while, as in the king crab. It
swims on its back. In the great num-
Der Of its legs the scale-tailcd apus has
few rivals, while in the number Of the
joints which these share between them
no other creature can compare. The
naturalist Schafrer once essayed the
task Of counting them and made the
magnificent total of 1,sO2,eO4. Latrelle
put down the number at a round 1000

The human body is the most remark

This is true in the most absolute sense.
Not only do we find in the body every
kind Of action that is found in any of

There is not known In all the realms
of mechanics or architecture one little

plane, the hinge, the universal" Joint,

filters, valves, bellows, pump, a
cam1ra, an Eolian harp, an irrigation
plant, telegraph and a sewage sys-

mechanical devices which man thinks
he has Invented are merely crude copies
of Infinitely more perfect APPEARANCES
found In mans body.

The cashier, young woman OF

she didn't believe they were "good,

Tyranny Of rnxation.

The use, or rather tile misuse, of the
taxing power for any purpose but that
of raising revenue is an odious abuse.
Yet 1t has always been so used by the
Republican party. 1t has been used
to build up swollen fortunes by PRO
tecting" manufacturers, Substituting rail-
roads and so on. Now the President
proposes to use 1t to diminish swollen
fortunes; and Mr.. Hepburn proposes to
use 1t to prevent stock gambling. In
other words, it is seriously proposed to
use the taxing power as authority for
legislation relating to crimes and social
menaces. Since the power to tax is the
power to destroy, it could, upon the
Republican theory, be made means
of robbing, matchmaking and destroying
public and private interests without
limit. Yet Its use is limited by the
Constitution strictly to the raising of
revenue for the necessary expenses Of
government. Tyranny by taxation is
the worst of all tyranny, and our fore
fathers considered 1t complete justi-
cation of armed resistance. -.

A Change Impernt,xe.

The Republican leaders contend that
Congress or the courts may Justly put
upon the Constitution construction
which shall be considered us the con-
stitutlon itself, and are unwilling that
there should be any check to oppose
their designs. If they had their way,
every construction put upon the con
stitutlon by Congress or by corporation
owned judges Of the inferior Federal
courts, would be in effect new Con-
stitutlon. Thus our supreme law would
be tossed about by every political breeze
until 1t finally crystallized anew into a
system of tyranny based upon arbi-
trary practice dictated by corrupt cor
poratlons. President Roosevelt, who is
the leader of the party favoring the
alteration of-the Constitution by this
foul method, now has Congress at his
feet, and has appointed fifty-seyen Fed
eral judges, who presumably adhere to
his opinion. If the people desire to
preserve their Constitution, they must
very soon change the administration
of the government. They must change
it, indeed, at the next election.
