High School Notes.

The English III and w class have
decided to hold their third debate on
Thursday afternoon. The subject for
ishment is preferable to life imprison-
ment." Joseph Peceny has been chosen
to lead the affirmative and Melville
Bremen the negative side.
The students have shown a large
amount of enthusiasm in former de-
bates, and the participants of this one.
which is without a doubt an interest
ing subject, are preparing to break all
former records. Each side will consist
of ten students and things will GER
tainly wax warm for the time being.
Friday is tag day in Whiting. Many
seats will be vacant in school, owing
to the fact that sixteen of the high
school girls have been assigned to do
the tagging. The high school boys are
preparing to carry a good supply of
deavor to make a donation to help
each one of their schoolmates out in
their collections This shows the liber-
atty of the local high school boys and
they will undoubtedly be covered with
tags before the day is over.

show to be given by the athletic asso-
citation has been set for Friday evening

to make this a success and expect to
reap a rich harvest by the venture

LAKE COUNTY BAR
PRACTICALLY AGREED
Hot Fight with Gary Expected Over
Superior Court.

1t is said that the Lake county bar
has practically agreed on the way the
seats of justice shall be disposed OF,
and the matter viii be presented to the
next legislature in the following man
ner: A continuous court will be prayed
for at Crown Point and Hammond will
plead for an additional superior court
Judge. they to hold continuous ses-
sions of court The heavy dockets of
cases now pending with additional ones
being filed every day makes it prac-
tically impossible for the bench TO keep
pace with t5c business and something,
of course, will have to be done to re-
lieve the congested situation. The ad-
ditional Offices and a continuous court
will bring heavy costs to the county,
but it is only in keeping with its Won
derful growth and unless people com
menee to sprout wings the mills OF
justice will continue to grind, and even
then an occasional case would be filed
resulting from an argument probably
as to who had the largest wings.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured.

There is only one way to cure DEAFNESS
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dfticn of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
infiamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when ii is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result.
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out Of ten

MANY GREAT CHANGES
MADE IN THE PLANT
Installation of Electric Machinery at
Electric Light Power ouse.

Unless they have made visit to the
electric light plant recently many
Crown Point people are unaware of the
great improvements that have gone on
inside the building. A mammoth new
engine and dynamo with the requisite
switch boards and other apparatus have
been Installed recently to take care of
the Lowell business that has been Sc
cured by the company. The most won
derful part of the new Improvement is
that at no time have the local patrons
been disturbed in their service, owing
to the excellent management used in
installing the heavy machinery.
Some strenuous work has had to be
done at times to put the plant in shape
to supply the Crown Point patrons with
their customary evening light. however,
1T has been done and the management
deserves great credit for their work.

No Destitute Folk Here.

One thing Crown Point can be thank
full for is that it has no destitute peo-
pie or people in Strengthened circum-
stances within its confines at present.
The town is small enough SO that such
cases could be learned were they pre-
valent. but so far none has come to
light. The recent cold spell has caused
a great deal of suffering among the
needy in other cities, in manufacture
ing districts, but Crown Point is even
fortunate in this.

The Story as it Is Recorded on the
 Tombstones.
 In the early part of the last century there lived in an old New England town Mir. Church, who, in the course of his pilgrimage through this vale of tears. was bereft of four wives, all of whom were buried in the same lot. Tn his old age 1t became necessary to re- move the bodies to a new cemetery. This melancholy task the much be- reaved widower undertook himself, but in the process the bones of the la mented quartet became hopelessly mixed. Priding himself on possession of a New England conscience, Mir. Church would not. under the painful circumstances, permit the use of the original headstones, but procured new ones. one of which bore the following inscription: Here lies Hannah Church and probably a portion of Emily" An other: Sacred to the memory of Emil ly Church. who seems to be mixed with Matilda" Then followed these lines:
 Stranger. pause and drop a tear, For Emily Church lies buried here, Mixed in some perplexing manner With Mary. Matilda and probably Han.

 George Gray is moderate. not a violent man. With him as president justice. and prudence will walk hand in hand, and peace will be restored be- tween man and man throughout our borders. He is sound. not sensational, and with him as president we shall have rest from turmoil so that pros perity may come again. The country needs rest Honest enterprise and honest toll need chance to attend to their own business, and George Gray is no meddler and can be happy when he is not engaged in fight. If we want industrial prosperity, we must establish and maintain industrial peace.
 This man has the temperament. the love of justice and the firmness of principle to correct abuses without dis ordering and wrecking the affairs of the people. He will brake the jaws of the wicked aud pluck the spoil out of their teeth, but he will know how to destroy the beasts of prey without be- laboring all of the domestic animals. He will stop predatory wealth from depredations without terrorizing hon. est and industrious wealth. He Is pro gressiye. not revolutionary: constitu- tional. not autocratic; practical, not visionary.
 George Gray is not only the man best fitted to be president. but he Is also the Democrat we can. most surely elect president. He will be an accept able candidate in every part of our broad country.
 Satisfactory to the South.
 Surely he will he peculiarly satisfac- tory to the people of the southern states. where we must look for that ever faithful body of electoral votes which constitutes the backbone of our strength.
