A tuberculosis Cure.

A great deal of interest has been
aroused In the m=dical .:orld by the
experiments being conducted by DR.
Giuseppe Ce-cano and other Italian
e.eerts in the use of the Behrine
s. an Of vaccination as a cure fol-
consumption While the experiments
have not vet been completed, enough
data nave been collected to. indicate
that the Investigators are at least on
the right track, and a number OF
cures have been effected.
The treatment consists principally
of the injection By means of an ordi

disposal of physicians generally. in
order that it may be tested in the
largest number of cases and under

GOVERNORS MESSAGE AND

Governor Sparks falls into the same
error in his treatment of the railroad
rate question that Is being coddled

abuse Of official power as remedy
Tor inequalities in railroad rates.
In effect the Governor advises the
safe Legislature in an otherwise
admirable annual message that the
Safe should utilize It's power Of as
sessment and taxation as sort OF
bludgeon over the Southern Pacific
Railroad, with a view OF compelling
that corporation to establish lcrnli-
nal points in the State Of Nevada
At the same time propaganda
along the same general lines has
been launched from Reno and pres
sure IS being brought to bear npon
members of the Legislature for the
passage of legislation.
On the general proposition that
terminal points should be established
in Nevada and that freight rates
should be reduced to the terminal
basis there can be no serious di1%s-
ion Of opinion among The people
Of Nevada; but the method Of
procedure recommended by the
Governor does not impress us as
being sound, and, frankly, we
doubt that Governor Sparks him

and more in accord with the spirit

MARBLE COMES TO SETTLE.
President of Amnlgamated Metal
Workers Called From East by
Republic Trouble at East
Chicago.

President McArdle of the Amalgamat-
ed Metal workers was IN East Chicago
yesterday after a hurried trip from the
east for the purpose OF endeavoring to
settle the trouble at the Republic Iron
and Steel works.
Because of the refusal Of the bushel-
men to work a certain mixture of scrap
iron the mill has been shut down since
last Monday and to date nothing has
been accomplished in the way Of a
settlement.
1t is understood that the agreement
between the Amalgamated Metal work
ers and their employers specifies that
either mixture of the metal must be
worked but the men find they cannot
work the one as fast as the other, and
so the strike.
However. with the arrival of the
president of the Amalgamated Metal
workers it is expected that a settle
ment will be made at an early date.

CLOUDY WEATHER BRINGS
EPIDEMIC OF SORE THROAT.
Local Physicians Declare That Four
teen out of Every Firteen Patients are
Afflicted With AiIment-ShOuId not
be Confused With Diphtherfa.

There is an epidemic OF sore throat
abroad in the land, which on account
of the diphtheria scare that has pre-
vailed more or less throughout the
state the past month or so. has caused
anxiety on the part OF patients. Local
physicians declare that fourteen out of
every fifteen patients that have come
under their care recently are troubled
with this aff1iction. 1t partakes OF the
nature Of tonsilitis. being apparently a
more or less muscular affection and is
in many cases accompanied by stiff
neck" The popular epidemic should
not be confused, however with diph-
theria as 1t is In no wise related to
that dangerous ailment and while pain
full, is really quite harmless. The
weather IS said to be responsible for
the prevalence Of the disease, and a
few days of sunshine will doubtless
do much toward relieving conditions.

Stony Toad for Indicators
of Hammond's Water
Consumption.
IS TOO GREAT
Taxpayers Balk at City Equipping
Homes and Business Places
at Owners Expense.

The outlook at the present time is
that the recently proposed ordinance
providing that water meters shall be
installed in Hammond's homes and
places of business, will be changed to
some extent in answer to pressure that
has been brought to bear on some of
the councilmen. While the installa-
ton Of water meters seems to be the
next thing with which Hammond is to
be blessed, the mayor and his council
deny that there are already seven
thousand meters somewhere in cold
storage ready to be screwed onto Ham
mond
The objection from the taxpayers
seems to be that the enormous ex-
pense of furnishing the city with met
ers is not warranted at present, nor
for some time to come. The taxpayers
do not propose that the city shall buy
meters regardless with their money and
Install them at their expense and ask
specified rate, which at the minimum
ranges from Sc to $40 in private and
business houses respectively.
Mayor Becker said this morning that
probably the ordinance would have 10
be changed to some extent.
Mayor Favors Gradual Introduction.
| The question was thoroughly dis
cussed at the lastsoouncil meettlzgs when
the mayor expressed himself as being
| in favor Of introducing the water met
| ers, If not at once then gradually. II
is still his plan that by the end OF this
year that at least three hundred met
ers shall be installed In Hammond busi-
ness places and that they should be put
in Immediately where new water con-
| nections are being made. In the may
ors estimation Hammond will need wa
| ter meters by the time they are INSTALL
ed, throughout the city, and he figures
that by their presence the consumption
of water can be regulated. especially
where it is necessary among the vast
ers, who never hesitate to use ten dol
lars worth of water to save ten cents
worth of ice.
At the last council meeting Alderman
Eastwood took issue with the mayo
on the subject, and while he admitted
that the city was being robbed b!
certain consumers, the method to catcl
the thief was, he thought, at the pres
, ent time too expensive.

neer Photographers.
WAS ALSO AN Inventor

Ferrotypes and Photographic
Prints.

A long life OF unusual interest re-
Gently closed at Valparaiso. Ind. in
the death OF Lewis H. Vaudeville, q
pioneer picture maker OF Chicago.
Vaudeville was student under Lilli-
bridge. one OF the old Street street
picturemarkers and, aside from his
knowledge OF the art or making da-
guerreotypes. ambrotypes and ferro-
types. he is said TO be among the frst
who made paper Photographic prints.
Vaudeville had an interesting his
tory from the time he left his old home
in Johannesburg. n. Y. where he was
born in 1923 His father was fighter
with Commodore oliver H. Perry and
afterward rendered service In the Sem-
mole Indian campaign in Florida.
Vaudeville. the younger. when he was
in his teens, had charge OF the con-
struction OF section of the Erie canal.
and In years when his hand became too
"shaky" to make pictures, he turned "a
unusual inventive genius to other
work.
There is now or was at one time. at
the Northwestern university in Evans
ton. a queer model that was made by
the Indiana man who has just passed
to his reward. .fhis was known as
an educational model of the universe
4 for giving illustrations of the move
ments of the heavenly bodies. The
machine was made by Vaudeville on
the order of U. S. G. Houston of Man
haitian, Kan.
Houston was an educator and he
owned painting which aimed to rep
resent every phase Of human exis-
tence. At one time this painting was
placed on exhibition in the reading
room of Yale college and it was this
great picture that Houston wanted to
illustrate by the use of the model made
by Vaudeville. who once said that he
made the machine by studying the
works OF Tom Paine. In the construc-
ton of the model more than 1900
cogs were used.

LABORER IS KILLED AT
MICHIGAN CENTRAL CROSSING
Body Seems to be That of a Man of
Forty-fve-ThOught to be That of
Martin ConIOn, Gibson Yard EmpIoye.

A man, thought to be Martin Con-
lon, an employe at the Gibson yards.
was killed yesterday afternoon at
the Michigan Central crossing in
Oakley street. He was going west,
apparently unconscious Of the ap-
proach of the Michigan Central train
which is due in Hammond at 5:12.
When 1t had almost reached him, 1t
is supposed he became confused and
walked onto the track occupied by
the passenger train. instead of step
ping aside out OF harms way.
The engine struck him with terrific
force. wounding him on the head and
body.
The train was No. and was in
charge Of Engineer J. Floriday and
Conductor T. J. Hanlon. The body of
the dead man was taken aboard and
the train, after brief delay. came on
TO the depot where an ambulance was
soon on hand to take the body to a
local morgue-
Oflcer Trinen and Captain Austgen
searched the pockets OF tho deceased
for means OF Identification. but found
only a small pocketbook containing
s2e and a small amount Of tobacco and
some matches. This morning more
thorough search disclosed ume-slip
made in favor Of Martin Conlon. which
showed that Conlon was employed al
the Gibson yards. The time-slip was
numbered 408.
The deceased was evidently laborel
and appears to have been about forty
! hve years of age.
