SALOON KEEPER
BANKER SK|PS OUT
Indiana Harborite Takes
French Leave With Mon
ey Entrusted to Him.

Eli Domshe. a saloonkeeper in Indi-
ana Harbor. who combined a modest
banking" business with his liquor
traffic, has gone the way of many an
other banker of greater claim to trust
worthiness than he ever possessed. On
Thursday he skipped out, leaving his
"depositors' to whistle for their money
which amounted to something between
500 and $3.50. according to the allega-
lions of his dupes.
Domshe ran a saloon at One Hun
dred and Thirty seventh street and
Beech. He apparently was doing a
fairly good business at this stand. At
any rate he had the confidence of his
customers who from time to time would
entrust their savings into his hands or
leave their checks for him to have
cashed. These trustful souls were for
the most part countrymen of Domshes
who had lived in the same town with
him in the old world.
The sums left by these, however,
were for the most part small. But
one of his brothers had entrusted $3.50
and another 500 to him for safekeep-
ing and an old man named John Cam
pion had given him $50 with which
to purchase his transportation back to
the fatherland.
AnxiOus1y Await News.
All of these and many other smaller
creditors are eagerly awaiting news
of Domshe's whereabouts.
There was one, however whom the
saloonkeeper did not put it over"
This was Abe Goldman, a wholesale
liquor dealer of Whiting, of whom he
bought stock. While the rest of the
parties to whom Domshe owes money
are gnashing their teeth, Goldsmith is
chuckling in his sleeve. Domshe owed
Goldsmith a bill of $S7.75 on goods he
had purchased. The debt was secured
by five notes Of equal amounts One
Of these fell due on Thursday. the day
on which Romshe took French leave
Goldsmith met Domshe on the street
and asked him to settle. Domshe
stalled a bit, telling him to call at
the saloon for his money q little later.
Goldsmith. however, refused to be put
off and thinks now he was governed
by a case of well-developed mentalt
telepathy. For something told him he
would better collect his money in
stanter.
Seeing there was nothing for it, Dom
she dug up. That same afternoon
Domshe met Goldsmith on street car
going between Indiana Harbor and East
Chicago.
Looking for HLOcatIOn."
Where are you going?" inquired
Goldsmith with friendly interest
I'm going to East Chicago to hunt
up good location for a saloon" was
the response.
What's the matter with your pres
ent location"
Don't make enough money" was the
somewhat short reply. You'd better
go and take the old place on the bal
ance OF those notes.
This was the last seen of Domshe.
Goldsmith lost no time in taking
possession of the saloon as per Dom
she's suggestion. The Sits paid that
same morning was just velvet as the
saloon in any event was worth more
then all five notes
1t is believed Domshe has gone to

ication.
Counter Petition Filed.
The Pennsylvania company had.
however, taken the first step to secure
restraining order. but unknown to
Judge collars, Gavit filed counter pc
tition.
Gavit in petitioning for the restrain
ing order based his arguments largely
on the recent decision of the appellate
court in the matter of the Michigan
Central railroad company against the
Hammond, Whiting and East Chicago
Railway company, the decision grant
ing the Hammond, Whiting and East
Chicago Railway company the right
to cross the Michigan Central railroad
on Calumet avenue.
The Pennsylvania Railroad company
submitted an amended petition sug-
costing that the company would con-
tribute $4,000 toward a fund for the
building Of an overhead viaduct, rails
ing the street car tracks fourteen feet
above the steam road tracks, which.
however, was overruled and Judge
Reiter granted the restraining order to
NA4C 0dAy * InlEIuTDdn railway COM
pany.
The Gary and Interurban still per-
sists in the declaration that they will
be able to have their line completed
at the time specified in the franchise
May L in spite of the fact that there
are but nine more working days in
which to accomplish the completion of
the work. Mayor Darrow stated this
mo inc
that could prevent this and that was
the possible inability of the company
to get their track laid across the rail-
roads which intersect Broadway. Judge
Refers restraining order removes this
obstacle 1t had been proposed to have
the interurban cross the railroad bv
means of viaduct but this plan did
not meet with favor by the town board
They did not feel that the city should
be made to stand half of the EXPENSE
in depressing the street and elevating
the tracks of the railroad to a suffl
Client height.
AS far as the construction work on
the line is concerned there seems to be
no question but what the comnanv
could have it in operation by May /,
Three-fourths of the track is laid
LnTeG-IOuTlHS OF the IrOIley wire is
strung, all of the poles are erected and
in readiness to use. The power house
is also ready for use. Steam has been
turned into the boilers and the ma
chinery is in place ready for the max
ing of the electricity. Electricity could
be turned into the wires at once if they
were ready TO begin operations.
With the junketing trip to Danville
and the inspection of the cars to be
used in Gary. much of the rebeIlious
outburst against the railroad has cooled
down. The business men of Gary are
fair and If they are given substantial
proof that the company means to do
right and be sincere in their promises
they will find no further opposition
the citizens of the town are still bitter
about the quality of the rails however.
and the manner in which they are laid
and the sentiment against the company
Will never be changed until the people
are given some satisfaction along that
line.

Quite a crowd of fans went D For est park yesterday afternoon i'll ex- pectation of seeing the Pine Knots cross bats with Hurst's Shamrocks, but they wore disappointed, due to the fact that Manager Riggs bunch miss ed connection at Clarendon, having come over on the local, which was late. Riggs telephoned Manager Berry last night that the Argenta team would arrive on the l o'clock train this morning and the game will ! certainly be played this afternoon. Rain checks were given out at the park yesterday and all those who paid admission yesterday will be ad> mitted free this afternoon.
 Hot Springs further increased her lead over the Pearl Diggers Monday afternoon by annexing another game from Dad Ritter's bunch, to 5, though she used three pitchers to do 1t. Four costly errors by his team mates preventd Shaw from winning his game, which was a swatfest for b@th teams. The Brinkley taienders showed their rejuvenated strength by nosing out the Helena Ponies to ,, the same score that Hot Springs beat Newport.

.Annunciation Academy for young ladies is beautifully situated on West Sixth avenue, in one of the most healthful and desirable portions of Pine Bluff.
 The electric cars pass the door, making the institution easy of access from all parts of the city, while the convent telephone affords a means of rapid communication.
 The Academy is under the direction of that distinctively great teaching order, the Sisters of Charity of Nag areth.
 The object of the school is, ill gen era1, to instill into the hearts of it's students principles of honor, and to assist them in forming a character which will enable them to become credits to their parents, and to pass through life as useful and refined members of society. Pupils of every denomination are welcomed now, as in the past, and no influence will be permitted to bias the religious principles of students. The course of instruction embraces all the b-anches of a solid English and classical education.
 The curriculum has been revised, thus affording better facilities for inl- provement and study.
 The classes are so arranged as to render the instruction practically in- diyidual. The constant daily drilling and reviewing prevent, at the close of the scholastic year, that mental strain so injurious to pupils who are doubt full of promotion
 Children deficient in mathematics, or in any study, receive private and special attention.
 Experienced teachers encourage pu- pills in fancy work and plain sewing.
 Boys between the ages of six and sixteen are received, and are as care 1 fully trained as the girls.

How Japan Drinks Milk.

Japan is learning to drink milk A Japanese newspaper says of the phe- nomenon There was a time when same adherence as cheese is in China. especially the pungent and strong smelling variety. Recent statistics, however. show that time has worked a great change in this respect. and milk and butter are now in great favor in Japan. Whereas twenty-five years ago not more than l or per cent of the persons visiting European restaurant or eating q European meal Ut friends house would have thought of touching butter. fully 10 or 50 per cent now eat it with relish They are. however, quite content to do without it.
 As to dairy farms they have in- creased notably in recent years Thirty or forty years ago milk was abhorrei. The average Japanese could not inducs himself to drink it. But today many household consumes one or two bottles of milk daily, partly because people have come to like it and partly because the doctors have recommended it as unique and wholesome beverage
