A declaration against the adoption of Amendment No. 10 is declaration for bad roads, bad streets and a retroeressive movement. It is a dec laration against the development of cnr resources and an endorsement of antiouated methods. Does the Repub- lican party stand for such things?

Brother law of Missing
Glucose Worker Comes
to Hammond Today.

Omar Wheeler of Valparaiso,
brother-in-law of George Cornell. who
has been missing since June 8. was in
Hammond this morning in search for
the missing man, but was unable to get
any further clews to his whereabouts
than have already been mentioned in

Cornell was an employe of the West

June 8. cashed his check in company
with several friends. His home is at

but was later seen in Hammond.
The police of all the surrounding
cities have been asked to search in the
search. as his relatives in South Chi

met with foul play.

habias and his disappearance cannot
be explained in any other way that

EXPRESS
WAGON
ROBBED
Driver Of Adams Express
Wagon Reports to Police
This Afternoon That Safe
Containing $500 in Silver
is Taken.

The theft of $500 from the wagon
of the Adams Express company Oc-
CURED at noon today when the driver,
William Young, was on his way from
thethe Pennsylvania depot to the
Hammond.
The $500 was in silver and was ship
ped In an iron strong box. No infOr-
nation was given out by the police
and only a few of the facts leaked out
this afternoon.
The theft is startling one, cOnsid-
ering the fact that 1t occurred In
broad daylight and while the driver
was on the wagon. When William
Young left the Pennsylvania station a
young fellow from the north side by
the name of ManIowski, who Is alleged
to have been implicated in the HaehneI
robbery some time ago, was riding on
the rear OF the wagon.
1t is believed that the young maa,
who was ON the rear of the wagon,
managed to get hold of the strong box
when the driver was not looking and
throw it Off the wagon.
He then left the wagon a little far
ther down the street, and of course
when the strong box was missed Mon
IOwski was suspected. The police i'm
mediateIy instituted search for the
young man and he was arrested this
afternoon.
The police have as yet been unable
to locate the money and believe that
it has ben hidden by the alleged thief.
The money was consigned to the Citl-
zens German National bank but this
institution will not suffer the loss for
the reason that the express company
carries the money at its own risk.
The police are working nthe the
Dry that the ManIowski boy had an
accomplice and that the nccOmplIce
took the money as soon as 1t was
dumped of the wagon.

Hobart, Ind, June 22.--The greedy
maw of the Calumet river sucked In
another human life yesterday morning
and brought gloom to the picnicIxers
who were camping ON the banks of the
river, near Liverpool, and seeking rest
from the terrible heat. The victim
of the waters was james Kane, 6233
Wabash avenue, Chicago.
WAS WITH PARTY OF FRIENDS.
Kane, who is nice-lOolxing young
man of 22 years, came out with n party
of friends a fishing trip Satur-
day night, boating with his chum on
the river. AS the morning broke Kane
rOwed his companion to the shore and
went out I'm the boat again. When he
reached midstream he let his oars rest
and those on the bank saw him go
to the end of the boat and sit down.
FALLS INTO RIVER.
To the astonishment of the specta-
tors Kane fell backwards over the end
of the boat into the water and never
came up again. Boats put out from
the shore and efforts were made to
bring up the body. They were un-
successful at first, but later in the
morning the body was recovered and
taken to Undertaken WiId's morgue in
this city. There DIR. ShankIin of
Hammond held the inquest later In the
day. The remains were SHIPPED to
Philadelphia today for burial. Kane's
mother and two sisters live there.

CITY POLITICS IS
WAKING UP NOW
Probability Exists That
Four Tickets Will be Put
in the Field Next Year.
KIDNEY ON A LABOR TICKET
Eric Lund Is Another Prospective
Candidate For the Repub-
lican Nomination.

Since f. Richard Schaaf has been
prominently mentioned as a candidate
for mayor on the republican ticket in
1910 there has been considerable gossip
regarding the selection of a man to run
against him on the democratic ticket
This brought out the fact that there
is likely to be several other tickets in
the field. Pete Davis is the authority
for the statement that it is his belief
that there will be an independent labor
ticket in the field at the next election
and tha Robert Kidney will be the can
didate of that party.
Peter Davis, who keeps about as close
to the local political situation as any
body said that he is of the opinion that
Kidney will be nominated and further
more that he will be elected.
The name who is mentioned most
frequently as the democratic candidate
for mayor is j. D. Smalley. 1t is rea-
sonable to suppose that the Becker
crowd will want to retain control Of
the local party and as Smalley is one
of the big cogs In the Becker machine
he will be the natural successor of the
pi esent mayor.
Socialists Expect TO Have One.
Then there is the socialistic party
which expects to cut some figure in the
coming campaign and election. The
socialists have been holding meetings
with considerable regularity during the
past year and it is understood that this
party expects to try it's strength In
Hammond by putting a candidate in
the field.
With four tickets in the field and
with four parties striving for suprem-
acy the next municipal election prom
ises to be most hotly contested in recent
years.
What the politicians are now spec
ulating on is. which of the big political
parties will loose the most by the inva-
sion of the independent labor and the
The republicans think they have the
best of the bargain If these new par
ties become factors in the local sit
uation and that both the socialists and
the Independents will most all come
from the democratic party.
This would especially be true If such
? man as Robert Kidney were to nom
mated by the independents. Kidney
is one of the conservatives in the labor
ranks and he is one of the most in
relations with the unions.
Kfdeny and Lund New Candidates.
Kidney would win some votes from
the republican party but he would win
hundreds Of them from the democratic
party and the political dopesters are
arguing that if Kidney himself did not
win he would so weaken the democratic
party that the republicans would be
sure to win.
The possibility of these men entering
the race then presents several new feat
ures which have not been delt with
| locally in the history of the city and al
though the election is still a long way
off it is already a frequen topic of con-
versation
Erie Lund of Homewood will be g
candidate on the republican ticket fol-
mayor in all probability and what Eric
will do to them, if he is named, will be
plenty of what his friends say is true

Lake Front Park.
COMPLAINTS MADE TO BOARD
South Chicago and Whiting Hood
lums Also Make Life Hideous
For Park Visitors.

The first real opening of the lake
front bath house yesterday has brought
In scores of complaints to the board of
public works in the first twenty-four
hours.
The board virtually found itself up
in the air this morning by the repeated
and serious complaints that were made
about the hoodlums that occupied the
bath house. What adds more serious
ness to the affair is that some Of the
young fellows whom made a nuisance
of themselves before Hammond ladies
and gentlemen is the fact most of the
rcwdy and indecent behavior was car
ried out by some of the sons of prom
inent families living in Homework
Some of them even forgot themselves
so far as to walk about in their scanty
and indecorous bathing suits among the
the visitors in the park. The behavior
or this set was boisterous so that de-
cent people who did want to enjoy
water front were compelled to stay
away and leave the field to the hood
lums. Added to their brazenness was
the fact that some of them took a

have liked to use It,
Other Men Disgust Ladies'.
While the behavior of the Homewood
boys in itself was serious enough to
cause such an outburst of complaint 1t
was added to by the hoodlums of Whit
ing and South Chicago who couldn't
clean their very foul mouths If they
stayed in the water "a hours at a time.
In fact the behavior of some of the
people yesterday was such as to lead
one to believe that Hammond still was
a border town where devilishness is a
virtue.
Some of the women who came out
carrying grub for the whole family in
Guiding the dogs and the parrot. placed
their basket in a dressing room and
carried away the key with them for
hours until they felt like appeasing
their hunger.
The board of public works will i'm
mediately draw up a strict set of rules
which must be obeyed and arrests made
If they are violated. One of these will
be that a dressing room may be used
for only a certain length of time.

the many clubs for the advancement of

year for the best work exhibited by
Chicago artists Probably there are
more organizations of this sort IN
Chicago than in any other American
city Over fifty women's clubs alone
are federated, and each year the
federation purchases some worthy
work of a Chicago artist
Since the federation of the Chicago
Art Association with the Municipal Art
League in 1901 art in Chicago has re-
ceived even greater encouragement
than before. No city in America has
given it's painters so many walls to
