the babies of poor parents If the chill
dren were properly fed and cared for
they would not have died. We certain

cases the milk supply was to blames for

DRAGGED OVER FIFTY FEET
Rescuer Who Is Manager of Lake Sea-

Especial to Lake County Times,

South Chicago, Sept 24-Wuliam
Patterson, manager of the Lake Sea-
mems union, is being congratulated to-
day by his friends, and many of them
are taking the liberty of addressing
him as Hero Bill" Last night about
$50 as the workmen of South Chicago
were returning from their work at the
mills. those coming down Buffalo ave-
nue. stood aghast at the sight of a
horse attached to a delivery wagon
plunging from one side of the street
to the other. Inside the wagon to
which the unruly horse was attached
sat little 10-year- John Zaga
Patterson. who was standing outside
the union headquarters, saw the horse
was running away and was likely to
upset the rig at any minute. Throw
ing aside his hat he ran into the street
and caught the runaway by the bride.
He was unable to stop the animal
however until he had been dragged
over fifty feet.
Other passersby rushed to Patterson's S
aid as soon as he had stopped the ami
NAL and attention was turned to Pat
terson, whose clothes had been badly
torn during the encounter. Patterson's s
left wrist was also slightly wrenched,
but today he is about his duties. al
though feeling rather sore. The wa
CONS inmate was uninjured.
Mrs. Frank Swanson, who witnessed
the accident and saw Patterson strug-
Cling with the animal, screamed and
tainted. She was taken to a nearby
drug store, where she was soon re-
vived Patterson weighs over 200
pounds and If it had not been for his
weight it is likely he would have been
dragged further.

FRANCHISE MATTER
STILL IN ABEYANCE
West Hammond no Nearer
Street Car Question So
luton Than Before.
SPECIAL SESSION FRUITLESS
Few Concessions Made, But Board
and Company Clash on
Large Details.

Although the village board of West
Hammond held a special meeting yes
terday afternoon, for the consideration
of franchise that the Chicago and
Interurban Electric Railway company
is asking for, the matter is no nearer
settlement now than it was several
weeks ago. 1t is doubtful whether the
franchise will be granted at the regu-
lar meeting next Thursday evening or
not
AS far as the meeting progressed
yesterday II was evident that the board
Is against granting a hfty-year fran
chise, but whether it viii continue in
this attitude will appear next Thurs
day afternoon. j. NJ. Miller, the COM
pany's attorney, insists on fifty year
franchise saying that it is the only
way that the company can obtain
money to finance the road. As a par
tial return, he agrees that his COM
pany viii pay to the village five per
cent of the company's gross receipts
for the first ten years and an additional
two and one-half per cent during the
closing ten years provided that they
be allowed twenty years before they
make the foregoing payments.
Abandon L Rail Idea.
The board insisted on a hange rail
and the company agreed to lay it
through the village limits. A differ
ence that has not yet been settled is
the matter of $1,000 bond for which
the board asks with the request that
it be deposited with the village treas
urer as good faith that the company
intends to complete its HSe twenty
four months after the granting OF the
franchise.
Should the company fail to make
good in this time, 1t shall forfeit the
bond in the villages favor Mr.. Miller
objected very much to this feature
A sort of compromise has been
reached for the route which will at
least partly satisfy the two factHns,
the Stanton avenue and State street
crowds respectively The route as now
proposed comes in on One Hundred
and Fiftieth street to Stanton avenue
and on to the State line, thence north
to State street and west on this thor
oughfare as far as Burnham avenue,
thus forming one large loop spur
going south to Wentworth avenue.
thence east on One Hundred and Fifty
fourth street to Burnham and In that
way south to the village limits.
Should this route be accepted, the
company would have to get a new
frontage as required by law and a new
would delay the passage for a time
longer. The board and street and alley
committee recommended numerous
other changes in the franchise which
are. however of minor importance

The inaugural meeting of the Eu-

GERS will be elected. literature deliv-
cred to members and an illustrative
program given. The inaugural COM
mittee is composed of Mrs. J. D.
Bacon. Mrs. G. NJ. Cooley. Mrs. G. A.
Stout, Rev. J. X. Burleson, Rev. VIM.

Mrs. w. A. Gordon, Mrs. E. J. White,
Mrs. ]. N. Kelly, v. P. Squires, A. j.

The Euterpean society has for its OBJ
ject the cultivation of a more intelli-
gent appreciation in literature, art
and music from the standpoint of
busy, practical men and women who
do not want to leave out and yet have
little time to enjoy the arts of beau
ty. The local society is chapter of
national organization. the founder
of which, Mr.. WILDER NJ. Derthick, of
Madison, Wisconsin, is we'll known in
the musical and art circles of the
country.
The plan contemplates the presen-
tation of a series of correlative pro-
grams in each of which a painter,
poet and musician having similar
ideals are made the subjects of study
and exposition, the program consist
ing of their works, each of which is
accompanied with full explanation
prepared by some noted specialist.
The working principle of the Euter-
pean system is that knowledge of
certain kinds must precede the intel
ligent appreciation of any work of art.
In addition to the programs there
are condensed lessons for those who
wish to study upon musical history,
art and literary personalities, what
to look for in pictures, ETC.. and drills
in the correct pronunciation of bio
graphical names in the three arts.
It is most encouraging sign of
the cultural progress of Grand Forks
that this movement should have been
so enthusiastically welcomed. The
membership already includes a large
representation of musicians, clergy
men, university influences, teachers,
and others of every class interested
in things beautiful,

new LAW AFFECTS
SCHOOL CENSUS
REPORTS
All Unmarried of School Age
Will Now Be Enumerated
on Census Lists.

Through the amendment to section
1876 of the revised code of 1905, which
passed the legislature at the recent
session and now a part of the laws,
a different method in the enumeration
of the school census of the various
counties of the state. was put into
effect. Hereafter instead of taking
only those who attended school and
dividing the school moneys according
to these results, the school clerks will
now send in the names of all unmar-
ried persons of school age. being over
six and under twenty having their
legal residence in the county. This
will make a material difference to
many counties.
Superintendent of Schools Helen j.
Prindeville is busy sending out the
notices of the change and also is call
ing to the attention OF the school
officers the fact that it is the duty of
the county superintendent to withhold
the apportionment of state and county
tuition funds from districts where the
attendance of person Of school age
for sixty days is less than fifty per
cent. of the enumeration.
