That Number Initiated Into the
Beaver Lodge Monday Night.
Result of Fifteen Days De
putty Work. Another Class
to be Organized.

One of the biggest classes that
has ever oeen Initiated into a
fraternal order in this city was
that Of the Beaver Reserve Fra.
ternity Monday night when six
tyrsix became members of the
order. The large class was the
result of fifteen days work on
the part of Deputy Woodworth
and wife assisted by the mem
bers of the local colony who are
endeavoring TO reach the two
hundred mark before the 1908
convention which will be held in
this city in June, and it now be-
gins to look as though they
would succeed long before that
time as over one hundred and
fifty are now members of the
order, and the mem mbers and de-
puties say that they will have a
class of seventy-6ve more before
the next meeting which will be
held in a month. The local
colony is composed of a fine lot
of mem pers and all are enthus-
iastic workers for the order.
After the initiatory ceremonies
were over a fine spread was pre-
pared by the Beaver Queens in
the dining rooms at the rear of
the hall in honor of the new
members.
The following composed the
large class.

THE PLOT THICKENS.

So the new West Hammond board
did not act after all on the question
Of renewing the saloon licenses. The
board is proceeding with caution and
incidentally putting out a few feelers.
One significant fact at least develop
ed at last nights meeting. This crop
ped out when it became known that 5.
K Markham, stands a good chance of
being retained as village attorney.
The new village board Is not ap-
pointing Markham for love of him 1t
has some ak TO grind. That ak is but
i'll concealed. Markham has threatened
repeatedly to put the dives out of
business and he claims in this con-
nection to have the backing of no less
formidable an ally than the states at
torney for Cook county. 1t would be
humiliating to the village board to
have the states attorney step in and
wipe out the evil which for so long has
been a disgrace to West Hammond and
a menace to neighboring communities,
and then have Markham wear away
the halo. II it is to be a case of no
dives the board would like to partici-
pate in at least modicum of the cred
It, On the other hand If the only man
in West Hammond who has taken in
terest enough in the situation to make
a noise as though he meant business
on the dive proposition, is an employe
Of the board he might consent to
sheath his big stick. In any event it
behooves the village board to go slow.
Markham may be bluffing and he may
not, but he is a good man to have as a
friend from any point of view. There
is still a forlorn hope of making q
virtue of necessity in case the neces-
sity of putting the dives out of bust
ness exists and the board is in right
on that proposition. And there is
another and better hope that with
Markham placated all controversy as
to the renewing of the much mooted
licenses may fold it's tent like the
Arabs and as silently steal away.

CHICAGO LETTER.

Chicago, May 3.-WHEAT-Early
prices showed gains of about a half
cent over last nights close. The May
ord on the crop, selling over 50 cents.
After the opening furry, however, lib
eral selling orders to realize profits.
This class of selling was more than
the market could stand, break of a
cent bushel resulting. Reports from
the southwest were rather conflicting,
although generous rains over the east
ern portion of Kansas was reported
and induced selling for both long and
short account. Cash demand only fair.
The bull feeling is still apparent in the
wheat pit, another buying wave is more
than likely to appear tomorrow. The
crop killers have the market we'll in
hand. The close was rather weak.
CORN-Eas been weak all day with
the selling pressure more prominent
than usual. One of the leading bull
houses was the largest sellers. Liquida-
tics by longs was in evidence all day.
The market closed with a decline of
about three quarters of a cent for the
day.
OATS-Efforts to take profits by the
leading bull party caused quite severe
break in the May futures. 1t was on
top all during the session. The more
deferred futures did not weaken but
fractionally. Cash oats in the sample
market closed two cents lower. The
speculative market ruled lower after
the opening furry and closed weak.

A Heritage of Common Sense.

Evidently Secretary Tafts unusual
supply of good, hard sense came to him
as a heritage. His mother says her
candidate for the presidency to succeed
Mr.. Roosevelt is Elihu Root. She does
not want her son to be president and
says So.
"A place on the supreme bench,
where my boy would administer JUS
tice, is my ambition for him. and she
sees no honor in the occupancy of the
White House that compensates for the
worry and great anxiety inseparable
from the Office.
It is we'll known that to be a SUI
preme court justice has always been
Mr.. Tafts ambition, though he once
refused the appointment to keep faith
with the Finpinos. He has the judi
cial temper and the judicial mind. His
inclination is all toward the law.
Yet it is this very ability to Judge
fairly. to see both sides, to decide
where justice lies and yet realize the
claims and the feeling of the other
side that has made him Invaluable as
an arbiter and settler Of difficulties in
Cuba. in the Philippines, in Panama
and Porto Rico.
He has unfailing good humor,
coupled with abundant tact and I'M
Welding firmness. These are the quail
ties that make executives as well
as Judges, and, though Mr.. Tafts
preference, as his mothers for him,
is the bench, Just now IL seems that
the people have decided otherwise and
have picked upon him as the man in
| whom they can rely with unquestion-
| ing faith to carry on the Roosevelt poll
/ cfes with which he is thoroughly IA
miliar. and TO which he is wholly CON-
mitted. duluth News-Tribune.

GIVE COMPANY FREE HAND.

In asking for franchises for the
streets, alleys and highways in Gary,
the United States Steel corporation do
not appear to have the grab ALI tend
encies that one would suppose on the
mere mention of the fact. The COM
pany will invest huge sums of money
in their business, and what seems more
fitting and proper than that they should
have some little say in the direction
of the affairs of a municipality where
in they have had such a large share of
the making? Up to the present time
they have expended thirty-five mil
lions. and in the near future will in
vest a like sum. To successfully oper-
ate this business they must needs have
a large force of employees. Gary is to
be the home of these employees, and
without the aid of the company, the
tidy homes clean streets and modern
improvements would be little thought
of by scheming individuals and foreign
land grabbers who would soon con-
troll even the necessities. The plan of
the company is to provide homes at
living rates. They will provide gas.
electricity, proper sidewalks, street and
traction facilities. All they ask is the
franchises and they will make Gary,
and in fact, all of Lake county, a rival
OF the largest commercial cities and
counties of the world. With the adj
vent OF thousands of mechanics and
their families the growth of the city
would soon get beyond the manage
ment of a few men and the result
would be disastrous to the very source
of the foundation of the city itself.
Studied from a business standpoint the
company seems to ask only what is
fair and reasonable

This mornings Times says: mo
special interest in any special phase
of the market could be noticed in any
of the brokerage offices. There was
a great deal of scalping trading and
much difference of opinion as to the
real character and ultimate movement
of prices. Some of the professionals
were inclined to be bullish on specific
stocks, such as Copper, but they did
not take a positive position on any
other issues. Features of the market
were some strength in North American,
Consolidated Gas and Manhattan. There
has been a notably strong undertone
In this last stock for several days, but
no precise information as to the cause
of 1t can be obtained. The vagaries
of Union Pacific were ascribed to
profit-taking and professional opera
tons, but as already pointed out. gen
eral factors were adverse enough to
influence the irregular tone"
