Times Changes.

Owing to the xecociousness of the
children of recent years an amateur
show is no longer the goose-fesh Joy
1t used to be. A number of years ago
children would get up to speak a
piece, white with terror. They broke
down, and their ague-stricken kin In
the audience prompted them time and
again, and the oftener they forgot
their lines the greater the glee of the
cold blooded audience no kin to them
Last night at the Arcade there was an
amateur performance that illustrated
the difference in the times: Three
little girls ran eagerly to the stage
and sang a song, each without z
thought of the crowd in front. They
looked the audience straight in the
eye, and after the first note the audi
ence realized that the tables were
turned; 1t was the turn of the nearer!

HOW He Won Her.

He was a fisherman, and in Iowa
He had angled for Angelina, and
caught her. He had angled for fish
also the nvelong day, and caught one
ephippid-that is, porgy. That night
he went to see Angelina's father on
the delicate question of matrimony.
He was nervous, and could not bring
himself to the momentous question, so
he talked about the weather and fish
ing. The old man asked. presently:
What luck?"

elsewhere gave Atlanta much notoriety,
and his nomination for a third term
was surprise. But the climax came
early in November, a few weeks after
his nomination. when he and EXPO
lice Commissioner William Oldknow
were arrested on charge of being
drunk and disorderly. The arrests
came as a result of an invasion of the
red light district by Woodward and
Oldknow in which 1t was alleged that
certain women of the district were
handled so roughly that they appealed
to the police.

organize and to givs its members an
opportunity to confer with the gov
errors on the work already done and
the plans for the future of the move
ment.
The reports to be presented on the
work accomplished during the past six
months are of a most gratifying ma
ture. In more than half the state COM
missions have been appointed and in
the pacific northwest and in New Eng
land and in many of the intervening
states conferences have been held re-
Gently to consider the great public
question of conserving the natural re-
sources of the various commemorative.
| While in many states the movement
is under good Roadway. the national
commission, which is to look after the
natural resources of the country at
large. has likewise accomplished sub
stantial results since the May confer
ence. These results are to be report
ed and discussed at the present con-
ference. The commission has practical

TONS natural resources. the first thor
ough inventory of it's kind ever made
by the federal government. Interest
ing summaries on the waters. forests,
lands and minerals Of the United States
have been completed by experts who
have been steadily at work on them for
nearly six months. Upon these reports
the future work of the commission is to
be used.

orioin Of the "RIack Hand"

There was a historical foundation
for the name black hand" according
to Everybody's. Back in Inquisition
days in Spain there was La Mano
Nera, secret society which fought
the government and the church. 1t
passed, and the secret societies OF
southern Italy were its heirs. Twenty
years or more ago a false report was
raised in Spain that La Mano Nera
had been revived. The story fingered
in the brain Of Herald reporter, and
one fine day he attempted to rejuve-
nate waning interest in puzzling
Italian murder case by specializing as
to the coming to life of the black
hand among Latin immigrants in
America The other newspapers seized
on the idea eagerly and kept it going.

FIGHT
ATTRACTS ATTENTION
Politicians Over State Trying to Get Bottom of Com
pick Situation Brought About by Recent
Election in This State.

Marion county members will not be for
Korn. 1t is known that Slack has
strength in the county, and that B. F.
Shively of South Bend is also well
thought of here. 1t is believed, how
ever. that the Marion county members
will be for Kern, at least until they see
that he cannot be elected, If that time
ever comes. The twelfth will be for
Hoffman, and he already has another
vote sure, that of Representative Gott-
schalk of Adams county.
Is a PuzzIer.
But the thirteenth district seems to be
something of a puzzler. Shively ought
to be able to hold it solid. it is said. be-
cause he has done much for his party
In the district, but IL C. G. Conn of Elk
hart happens to take the notion to en-
ter the fight, there is no telling what
the result may be- And, by the way,
there Is a strong belief that Conn will
do that very thing. 1t is known that
friends of his have been looking the
matter up here to learn the exact sit
uation, and the politicians are of the
opinion that they are doing this for
Conn.
If Conn decides to be a candidate it
is presumed that he will tap the same
large barrel that he opened when he
was candidate for governor. and this
will make things interesting for the
boys" who up to this time have not
seen much of the coin of the candi-
dates
So 1T will be seen that the whole
senatorial situation is still in the air
and that there is really nothing on
which to base a prediction that any
candidate has a sure thing. All de-
ponds on what the candidates are able
to do in the open districts. A fierce
struggle is going on in the third dis
trict, which has no candidate. The
third has nine votes in the democratic
caucus. 1t is known that Shively
stands well in the third and there is
every reason to believe that he will gel
at least an even break in the third
The second district will be divided be-
| tween several candidates. The sixth
will be mostly for Slack, with Menzie:
| counting on one or two votes. The
| eighth is for Kern So is the ninth
| The tenth has only one democratic
member of the legislature, Representa-
tive Faulkner of Laporte county anJ
he is for Shively. Slack has the ieat
in the eleventh, which has three demo
| cratic members.
| 1t is believed it will be compare
| lively easy to get a line on the situa
ton and place a pretty fair estimat,
on the strength Of the various candi
dates for senator after the democratic
members of the legislature meet her
on Dec Is to discuss the Legislative
program that will be followed.
Representative Thornton of New AL
bany says he will introduce at the com
ing session the same bill to amend tn
cities and towns law that he intro
duced at the last session. He says h
believes 1t will pass this time. 1t is de
signed to cut out some of the city of
ficers in cities of the third and fourtl
class and to reduce the salaries Of 9th
ers, in order to reduce the expenses O

last session, however, his bill died Il

BIG STORE BUYS OUT
GARY FURNITURE STORE.
s. Lederer Stere Goes Out of business
for Consideration of go, 0O0-6s0od-
man Place VIII BE Enlarged.

A deal involving the Gary Furni-
ture and Carpet Store, located in the
Gary building, was consummated yes
terday largely through the instru-
mentality of Paul Hayman, manager of
the L. Goodman Big Store.
The stock of the S. Lederer store,
which was established last year, has
been bought up by the Big Store, and
the Gary Furniture and Carpet store
will consequently go out of business
The Big Store on the other hand will
however. be enlarged to such an extent
that it will be one of the largest de-
partment stores in Lake county.
1t is understood that the considera-
ton involved in the transaction was
$40, 900.

Yield of an OREGON Walnut Tree.

A big walnut tree in the yard of the
residence of L. E. Blain in this city
shows the possibilities of walnut cul-
ture in this part Of the state. Though
it stands on the poorest kind of land
for fruit growing and has never re-
ceived scientific culture the tree this
year produced SIS worth of nuts. This
shows the immense profit of an acre
of similar trees.
This tree is Ia years old and stands
30 feet high. 1t is a French walnut
of the Mayette variety. Mr.. Blain be
lieves that had it been properly
trimmed when young and placed in
good soil, like that of the Santian bot
toms in this country, it would have at
tanned its present growth and bear
ing qualities in seven or eight years
