WHAT HO! MELORD!
BLACK MY BOOTS
"BRITISH DUKE" MUST ACT AS
VALET AT POLICE STATION
FOR AWHILE.

CHICAGO, Oct 29.-"Lord" Ar
mand Geron, K H. p, who says he is
heir to an English dukedom, late of
Piccadilly and the strand, who mani
tested ducal characteristics last night
when he INDUCED in a sumptuous
course dinner, from the appetizing
Martini cocktail down to cigarettes,
at local restaurant and then polite
ly told the waiter he was devoid of
funds, is hopping the floor of the
Harrison police station and acting as
valet to Inspector Weaver.
The nobleman's title, the POSSIBLE
ity of being numbered among the in
innate friends of royalty, made little
impression on Municipal Judge Gem
mel, before whom he was arraigned
today. His lordship confessed frank
ly to a confidence game, and said af-
ter he had admitted the dinner, said
that he never had done anything but
stride the boulevards of London and
Paris, and calmly listened to the
courts order that he help keep the
station clean and shine Inspector
Wheeler's shoes for a period of one
week and then find quarters some
where else.

There is more Catarrh in this sec
ton of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be

doctors pronounced it local disease
and prescribed local remedies, and by
constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be
constitutional disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.

MYSTERY UNRtVEALEO
Post Mortem Over Miller
Victim Shows Death
by Suffocation.

The mystery surrounding the death
Of the unknown man who was dragged
out of the Grand Calumet river at
Millers yesterday by Marshal Edward
Klopf, deepens. The body remains
still unidentified and upon closed in
vestigation yesterday, it developed that
that the clothes which seemingly be-
longed to the drowned man were not of
his size. The coat and vest were too
small for the body, although they were
of good material.
The remains have been removed to
Wild's undertaking establishment at
Hobart where post mortem examina-
tion was held last night The evi-
dnece showed conclusively that the
man died of suffocation. His stomach
was empty.
Chief Martin of Gary yesterday re-
ceived message from Valparaiso that
man has been missing there since
the beginning of this week who at the
time of his disappearance had $40 in
his pockets.
Undertaken Wild will keep the body
for some time in order to await iden-
tifeation.

BEGIN WORK MONDAY
American Maize Products
Concern to Rebuild
Their Plant.

Work on rebuilding the starch house
of the American Maize Products com
pany at Roby, which was destroyed
yesterdy noon by an explosion which
was followed by fire, will begin next
Monday.
The facilities remain limited to one
death and four casualties. OF those
injured, Gust Baker of Hammond, who
lives on the north side, had probably
the strangest experience.
Baker was in the building sitting
against the north wall and taking his
MONDAY lunch. The explosion pressed
out the wall and hurled Baker through
the air landing him in a slough more
than fifty feet away. For a moment
he he was beside his senses, though
unharmed and able to walk. Picking
himself up he ran out of the slough
and headed for some timber south of
the plant when he was stopped by the
workingmen who saw him.
Three hours after the explosion the
management was making arrangements
to rebuild the wrecked building and
work will begin next week.

HIGH REGARDS FOR
NAT u. HILL
Hammond Banker Speaks
in Highest Terms of
Dead Man.
JOHN DYER'S REGARD FOR HIM
Death of Prominent Former State Of
fetal Comes at Great Surprise
to Hammond.

The death of Nat u Hill, former
treasurer of this state. came as sur
prise to great many Hammond poll
ticians who are acquainted with him,
but more than any Of the others, John w.
Dyer is exceedingly sorry to hear of
the death of the man who defeated him
for the nomination for the treasurer
ship.
Mr.. Dyer had a very high regard for
Mr.. Hill, both as a politician and as a
man. He says that he is hard fighter,
but is always fair and has a faculty for
making and keeping friends. His loyalty
to his friends is one of his most
splendid characteristics.
Mr.. Dyer says that instead of ig-
noring each other in the campaign for
the nomination, both he and Hill used
to get together after days work over
the state, and in one of the Indian
apolis hotels they would talk things
over.
Hill would say. We'll what have you
done today Dyer" Dyer would tell about
how he had knocked down some OF
Hills fences over at Elkhart or at
4
guess I will have to go back and put
them up again"
Hill and Dyer were the two princi-
pal candidates and a man by the name
of Milligan was next in the race. One
day Hill said to Dyer. We'll John, If ]
can't get the nomination I want you to
have it. I don't want that man Milli-
gan to get it through. You and / are
in the race for the fun of it, but MILF
gan really wants the job
Hill was a great campaigner and he
finally defeated Dyer for the nomina-
ton. Dyer, however. had a world of
respect for his antagonist and after the
the convention he did all In his power

sorbingly interesting essay ever writ
ten by an American writer
Erie is one of the three stocks-the
other two being Northern Pacific and
Reading-which have caused more big
speculation. more sensational deals and
more tremendous commissions in the
stock market than any or all of the
other stocks put together. It is really
the veteran of the stock list. 1t has
seen other stocks come and go, CROSS
ing and recrossing the speculative
arena, enjoying a brief hour or two of
sensation and then fading away, but 1t
still remains as active as ever. However

doubt about the extraordinary vitality
of Erie stock as speculative factor.

BONANZA FOR
NORTH TP. SALOONS
DRY" Calumet Township
Means a "Wet" North
Township.
THIRSTY MIGRATE FROM GARY
Hammond and East Chicago Liquor
Dealers Expect to Do a Land
Office Business.

While the saloonkeepers of Indiana
Harbor, East Chicago and Hammond
sympath with their less fortunate
neighbors in Calumet township, who
may be refused the right to renew their
licenses they are aware of the fact
that an exceedingly dry Calumet town
ship means an exceedingly wet North
township.
In. fact, If the saloons in the ad-
joining township are gradually froced
out of business and the population in
creases at the rapid rate that has char
acterized the growth of the city the
past, there is sure to be an enormous
migration of thirsty souls from the
Steel City every night in the week, and
especially on Saturday.
Boozers VIII Migrate.
The Chicago, Lake Shore and South
Bend interurban will probably be COM
PEELED to put on whiskey limited Sat-
urday nights to accommodate the extra
traffic. East Chicago is the first stop
on this line and so the saloons there
are expected to do rushing business.
The First Chance" and Your Last
Chance" are expected to be the names
of two of the dozens of saloons of vari-
Gus kinds that will be opened up on the
the North township line. In fact the
saloonkeepers in North township are
expected to do a rushing business in
the next two years and the only diff
ference to the Gary man with a thirst
will be the fact that the street car
company will collect a 10 cent toll on
every bun" he has.
May Start Saloon Colony.
Some magnificent saloons will be com
PEELED to move over the township line
and a saloon colony across the town
ship line is one of the possibilities OF
the future.
South Chicago will not get much o1
the business for the reason that it il
too far away and then the fare IS 10
while 1t will be only 5 cents to get tc
! the Indiana wet shops.
That means a difference of one beer
and sometimes it takes but one beer
more to put on the finishing touches
If the Gary remonstrarlce holds # is
likely that there will be at least $1OO.-
600 year of Gary money in this town
