YOUNG MEN START
A SEWING CLUB
Will Make Quilts for Char
ity With Aid of Lady
Friends.
LATEST FAD II SOUTH CHICAGO
Members Will Not Talk Much But
Say They Have a Good
Time.
Especial to Lake County Time..)

South Chicago. Oct. liars Norby,
a popular South Chicago youth, has
organized men and women's sewing
club, which will meet once week for
the purpose of sewing quilts for the
poor, and the duty of the men pri-
marily is to thread the needles for the
girls. This is absolutely the latest
fad in South Chicago and promises to
be immensely popular. At the meet
ing held last week three quilts were
sewed and sold for the poor. At the
next meeting of the club the officers
Will be elected.
Although all of the men who are
members fail to give in detail their
part in the making of the fancy quilts,
it is surmised from the conversation
which has leaked out that they play
a more important part in the actual
construction of the quilts than they
care to admit. 1t would be hard to
imagine the elite of South Chicago
sitting with crossed legs, looking over
the tops of their glasses and threading
their needles while gossiping with
their lady friends. The only answer
that can be obtained from the men as
to what part they play Is a very per-
ceptible grin and a look that shows
that they think that the end justifies
the means. And so does the populace
of South Chicago for that matter who
will encourage the good work from
beginning to end.
After a certain amount of work is
done at each meeting the remainder
of the evening is spent in pleasure. To
the casual observer, however, the en-
tertainment would be while the male
members of the club are engrossed in
the sewing of crazy" quilts. The club
purports to be the most prosperous of
any of the fads recently inaugurated
in the city. and will undoubtedly be a
huge success.

VAN HESS IN So. CHICAGO
Ex- Pugilist, Who Once De
feated Cans Back in
Game Again.
Especial to Lake County Tfmea.)

South Chicago. Oct. 2.-John Van
Hess, ex-pugilist, who has been staying
at Superior, Wis, arrived in South Chi
cogo last night and will spend the re-
mainder of the week visiting friends
here. It will be remembered that dur
ing 1900 Van Hess whipped Joe Cans.
after battling 13 hard rounds at the
colored fighters home in Baltimore.
Shortly after this battle with Cans, Van
Hess was attacked with rheumatism
and was compelled to quit the game.
Since then he has recovered and lately
has been working out every day and
according to reports he is in better
fern now than he was at the time he
whipped Cans.
After a few more weeks training
Van Hess intends hurting defii at Abe
Atten and should he be successful in
securing this match he intends going
into the game again.
Van Hess took a ten mile jog out
in the country this morning and came
back looking fresh. Just to show some
of his South Chicago friends he was
stiu in the game. VanHess stripped and
gave a few would-be puglists a work
out. If Van Hess does get back in the
game 1t is safe to say that he viii find

NOT YET, EAST CHICAGO
Forget Great and Only Chas.
See, When They Claim
Biggest Copper.

Fest Chicago. Ind. Oct. 2.-This city
claims to have the biggest cop IN
the country. He IS recent acquisition
to the force and Is 6 feet inches tall
and weighs 279 pounds. Officer wifen-
bach is now on duty at the 'Harbor"
and the residents think he is big
enough to keep the lid on.
The Hammond police are highly in
dignant at East chicago's implied
superiority. Perhaps" they suggest,
the people Of East Chicago have for
gotten that there is one Charles See
who weighs over 300 pounds. is a man
of average height, has the strength OF
bull and is about as quick on his
feet as the next fellow
Charles See is the secretary Of the
local police force and one of the best
revolver shots in the country. II East

the police station and is now incar-
eerated in one of the cells in the city
Jail.
An effort will be made to have Mrs.
Parks and her daughter testify against
Parks and it is hoped that he viii be
convicted. The police say that Parks
has been born and raised in Hammond
but has long had an unenviable rep
utation and for this reason it was
thought advisable to make an exam
pie of him for this case.
Both Mrs Parks and her daughter
are slightly crippled and this makes
the assault upon them the more de-
plorable. The neighbors are indignant
over the matter and are glad that
Parks was arrested.
Orlando Parks was at one time en-
ployed as bookkeeper at the C. H
Hammond company where he was con-
sidered one of the most promising men
in the employ of the company but his
downfall has been rapid since he be-
gan TO drink. His trial will come VI

TO MAKE RESERVATIONS.
Mcdaniel Leaves Today For
Madison and Indianapolis
on Football Mission.

Today superintendent Mcdaniel of
the Hammond public schools will go
to Madison, Ind, and from there to
Indianapolis where he will make reser-
vations for those who have already ar
ranged to get tickets to the Wabash,
Michigan game at indianapolis.
However, those who have not already
made arrangements for their tickets
may do so at any time before Oct. 10
when the game is to be played. The
plan is, however. to secure the tickets
as early as possible in order to be sure
of good seats.
Already there have been eight or ten
who have made arrangements for their
tickets and as many others will be on
the train for indianapolis the day be
fore the game.
If Wabash can defeat Earlham and
Purdue the two teams with which they
have games before the big one with
Michigan, there is no doubt that the
whole country will be interested in the
Indianapolis contest
Yesterday Walter Eckersan who is
writing football for the Chicago Tribune
was in Charlottesville for the purpose
of looking over the scarlet eleven.
He saw a scrimmage between the
scrubs and the regulars and donned a
suit himself and did some fancy bunt-
ing for the edifcation of the Wabash
pig gskin pushers.
His dope on the Wabash team will
probably be in the Chicago Tribune to-
morrow and he viii give his opinion

MUD FLUNG BY
BOTH THE PARTIES
Nature of Evidence Such as to Ex-

Mrs. Dunsing and Her Witnesses
to Occupy Stand Today.
Especial to Lake County Tsmea.,

Crown Point, Ind. Oct. Yesterday
at p. m. the divorce trial in which
Joseph Dunsing seeks to be released
from the bonds of matrimony began and
the suggestion that was given in the
complaint that there would be sensa-
ticnal developments was more than
realized.
In fact some of the testimony was
SO sensational that the case was tried
in Chambers before Judge McMahan
and only those who were connected
with the case were allowed at the trial.
1t VIII be remembered that Mr.. and
Mrs. Dunsing were married in Carroll
Ia, Jan. Il. 1906 and that after living
together until Nov. 4. OF the same year
Joseph Dunsfng filed a complaint
against his wife in which he made
among other allegations the statement
that he had been cruelty and inhumanly
treated.
Complaint Elaborated ON.
Yesterday. Dunsing was placed on the
witness stand and questioned by the
attorneys on both sides. The testimony
given was a repetition OF what had ap-
peared in the complaint with a ga1ss<-
deal more in the nature of embellis.-s
ment,
Dunsing had witnesses who were
called upon to corroborate his testi-
mony. Mrs. Dunsing was placed on tho
stand this morning and she also had
four or FIVE witnesses
1t is said that her testimony was as
sensational as that which had been in
troduced by Dunsing the day before and
1t is not believed her testimony will all
be in when the court adjourns today.
| Much of the evidence concerned the
/ personal relations OF Dunsing and his
wife and its nature is such that it can
not be printed The case is expected
tc be ended tomorrow.
/ The complainant is represented by At
torney crumpaclxer and crumpacker
and w J. Whinnery, represents the
| defendant.

the metropolitan police department in
cluding the treasurer's report, the
water department, law department. fire.
department board of public works,
street department and from the board
itself, city court, department of health

Tax Levy Lower.
In speaking of the new tax levy for
the year 1907. Controller John Smalley,
. said last evening. as he distributed the
reports
The tax levy this year win not be SO
high as last year, though for some time
1t may possibly be higher than In other
and older established cities for we are
continually making improvements. The
rapid increase in population necesitated
the building of two additional fire sta
tions and there was also a special as
sessment levied against the city on
account of Harrison Park improvements
including Holman street sewer and
sidewalk and Webb and Walter street
sewers. The United States court also
rendered a Judgment of $4,000 against
the city in favor of the Milwaukee
Trust company on account of the Col
umbia avenue sewer Improvement con
structed during q previous administra-
tion. With these expenses off our hands
we will be enabled to make a lower
levy this year"
