railway connecting the cities of Whit
ing. Indiana Harbor and Gary. Such
was the purport of the franchise pre-
scented to the local councilmanic body
last evening for it's acceptance, which
will doubtless follow it's perusal by
the law and ordinance committee. The
capitalist behind the project is Louis
N Erb of Chicago, who, with other
Chicago capitalists, recently succeeded
In securing a franchise to enter the
city of Whiting.
l. B. Seeds of Indiana Harbor is pro-
moter of the Indiana Harbor branch of
the line. He appeared before the coun-
ell last evening and declared that Mr..
Erb was financially competent to carry
through the terms of the franchise de-
sired. In fact" he said, IF you will
give us the franchise we will com
mence work on the Indiana Harbor-
three days.
May be Outlet For Other Lines.
Little is known regarding the pro-
consensus of opinion is that the pro-
posed road is to be an outlet for one
of the interurban lines now running
into Gary. Whether the c.. L. s. G. S.
b. line, or the Airline, will take ad-
vantage of it's construction is not
known, although it is generally be-
lieved that the Airline. of which the
Gary & Interurban road is a branch
will use the new line as possible out
| let to Chicago.
The route presented to the council
| for their consideration and acceptance
| is a splendid one. Commencing at the
Burlington cement plant, cars will rur
west to Alder street From this point
cars will be run on One Hundred an6
Thirty street, Michigan ave-
nue., Canal street and thence to the
Whiting city limits. Here the Penn.

be reached, and followed as far as
Front street, where the cars will branch
northward to One Hundred and Nine
teenth street, and proceed along thi:

Arthur Got the Sword and also gave
in a well prepared paper, a beautiful
description of The Holy Grail" While
these were mythical characters, yet
there are many lessons which may be
learned from Good King Arthur, the
strong, yet weak Sir Lancelot, and the
pure and noble Sir Galahad.
We feel sure that the story of King
Arthur and his round table will always
have a new meaning to the ladies who
