emily vision. A joyful light came to
his eyes surmounting the pain he
had suffered and he gave up his
spirit in peace and happiness, thus
closing beautifully a long, useful
and well spent life.

FEAST IS STOLEN;
GUESTS DISAPPOINTED
Mrs. George Barden Finds
Banquet Dainties Missing
When Company Comes.

We'll what is the use?" sighed Mrs.
George Barden of Gary, tearfully. yes
terday when she found that after ar
ranging for a fish supper to be enjoy
/ ed by all her neighbors in celebration
of her skill with the rod and line,
that just before the appointed time for
the gathering, some rude person had
stolen not only the fish, but also every
other edible article that was to go
along with the banquet courses. Mrs.
Barden does not know whether to at
tribute the act to some member of her
own sex who was jealous of her sue
cess as a piscatorial artist and of her
social status which would be advanced
by the dinner, or to some hungry in
dividual.
Mrs. Barden, with a number of her
lady friends of their social set, spent
day fishing at Miller Station and the
success with which she lured the finny
tribe from their depths made her over
joyed. A five pound string of carp and
other dainties adorned her basket or
the return trip, and she was a justly
proud woman. She was so proud that
she decided to make her luck a socia
event, and so she invited all the neigh
bors to a choice fish supper to test
the results of her days work and alsC
her excellent cooking.
But pride goeth before a fall ant
great was the fall thereof according
to Mrs. Barden's ideas as hostess
Mrs Barden made hasty trip TO Chi
cago for some of the hxings for tn,
dinner and on her return trip she wen
to the pantry, and-weIl, it was enough
to take the heart out of any woman
ambitious in social circles to see th'
result of her work pass out of sigh
without the least recognition. So th
guests are disappointed, but the cha
grin of Mrs. Barden is deep rooted an,
lasting.

SOUTH CHICAGO

Once more the old bridge over the

traffic and business. The present
structure, grown gray IN service. is
entirely inadequate Tor the amount Of

point and each day finds something
amiss with the working of the old

TO allow the passing Of a boat. il re-
fused to close again. and in the mean
time the line of electric cars on each
side increased until the street was
blocked thereabouts. Teams loaded
with merchandise for points on either
side also became congested with num-
bers and hundreds OF people on their
way from shop TO dinner were COM
PEELED to forego that pleasure and re-
turn back to work with a sandwich or

TELEGRAPHER'S
STRIKE imminent
All Attempts at Compromise
Proved Futile = Claims
of Increased Cost.
Especial to Lake County Times) e.

New York, June 19.-The telegraphic
world is all agog over the labor situ-
alton between the Western Union,
Postal Telegraph companies and their
employees. That a strike will result is
more than probable.
All overtures for arbitration, inter
vention and amicable settlement seem
to have been exhausted. The two com
panies have held out obdurately against
any concessions. 1t is said by some of
the telegraph operators, whose truth
fulness is unquestioned, that the COM
panies have failed to allow the increase
in wages which was granted and which
was to take effect March l.
It is said instead Of increases in sal
aries, new men that are being employed
have been compelled to accept wages
upon a lower scale than those pre-
vailing prior to March l.
In the meantime the telegraph COM
panies have raised the tariffs for the
transmission of messages. from fifteen
to twenty five per cent. The operators
claim that the alleged increase ir
wages was merely a subterfuge by the
companies to raise the tariffs SO eX-
horbitantly; that the extra income
from this source will be used tc
defray the expenses of strike by the
operators.
1t is estimated that there are 20(
| operators employed in the two com
panies exclusive of brokerage house:
| and private corporations. OF thi.
amount, it is said, ninety-fve per cent
/ are members of the Commercial Teleg
! raphers union.
In New York there are about 5000
| of whom 1000 are employed by th'
! two mentioned companies, the unioI
/ does not boast as large a membership
as that of Chicago, yet estimates which
are almost reliable, figure ninety pc
cent. of the employees are union op
orators.
At meeting here today it was de
cided to call a strike. But instead o
a general one. tieing up the entir
| commercial world. one of the larges
cities, either New York or Chicago, viii
be decided upon.
Deputy President Konenkamp of tn
Commercial Telegraphers' union. CAV
out the following statement today:
The general executive board Of thi
| union has approved a strike agains
either or both the Western Union an
Postal companies. The matter is no7
in the hands of President Small Whe
and where the strike viii be called frs
will not be given out at this time, bu
it will take place within the next wee
or ten days.

BRUTAL GARYITE
CRUELTY BEATS WIFE
Neighbors Will Horsewhip
Fiend if He Repeats
the Offense.

One of the most brutal cases of wife
beating came to light last evening at
Gary, where a young woman giving
every appearance of having once pos
sessed great beauty, was brought to
the office Of DR.. Walsh hardly able to
walk, and blood streaming from cuts
and bruises on her face and head. The
woman was Mrs. Joe Rabeninski, who
resides with her husband near the out
skirts of town. Her husband, who is
a young man, was afterwards picked
up by Officers Jenkins, Chambers and
Catey and was lodged behind the bars.
The only excuse he would give for his
cruelty towards his better half is that
his wife is addicted to liquor and that
for that reason he gave her a beating.
He did not think that the same rule
applied to himself when he was on a
jag" but the neighbors of the man
say that such a thing will happen if
he ill-treats his wife again.
The woman's face was mass of
black and blue spots. while her head
was cut in several places. The blows
were administered by the unnatural
| spouse with a heavy hickory stick and
1t was almost a miracle that the death
of the woman did not result from the
injuries she received. The cuts were
dressed by Or. Walsh and she was re-
moved to the home The woman has
had similar experience before, and
was badly injured about a year ago in
la lonely little hut near the Lake Shore
/ tracks. Despite the injuries she re
ceived at the hands of her worse half
she would not prosecute him in court
this morning on a charge of assault
with intent to kill as she wanted him
to go back to her once more. She was
willing, however. that he should re-
ceive a lesson in the shape of small
fine The man will be made to under
stand that, although his wife is willing
to forgive and forget, she is not to bt
on the receiving end of a hickory stick
again
