Stiglitz Park, Ind
Editor, THE TIMES
The people of Stiglitz Park would
like to know through your valuable
paper why they cannot have lights
They are paying for taxes for electric
lights and for about six weeks there
has not been a light. The man who
cares for them says he has paid $3.50
for car fare trying to find out who to
report to, but can get no satisfaction.
Please put trailer on his tracks and
find out who is to blame for all this
Several people have nearly broke their
necks these smoky nights trying to get
home and several have lost their way
since East Chicago has ben taking
charge of the lights.

DEPOT ACCOMMODATION POOR.
All New Sharon Complains Against
Iowa Central Waiting Rooms.
Special to Times Republican.


New Sharon, Jan. 3-The waiting
rooms in the Iowa Central depot at
this place are the vilest piece Of mis-
management and general Indifference
upon the part of some one. that we
have seen for some time. The furnace
has been in bad repair for a long
while. and has been properly reported
at headquarters by the agent ait num-
erous times, but still 1t emits volumes
of coal gas and smoke. which are abb
sorbed by few patrons who would
rather not go out upon the platform
and freeze. It is a common sight to
see patron rush in, get his ticket
and hurry out again into the pure cold
air upon the outside, in much the
same manner that fireman would
rescue baby from a burning build
ing. Our people have got thru spec
ulating as to when the windows will
next be washed, as the matter of
warmth just now is Of primary i'm
portance. The building is very un-
sanitary in other ways, and should be
condemned by our local officers.

Webster City, Jan. 3.-W. M. Vesey,
a former printer in the Graphic Her
aid office in this city, has a small for
tune, but doesn't know it. After leav-
ing this city he went to Oklahoma
where he purchased small printing

Mackown for the alleged burning of
the Webster City felt shoe factory

for the purpose Of lessening Mac

A home coming, followed by an old

Reasons Why Thousands Like we
Cannot Satisfy Their Employers.
Il believe my fate is not unlike that
of thousands of other workers VINO
daily lose their places for reasons they
do not know, and probably would nos
believe. When their last pay envelope
comes along, it is usually Your sacV-
ices no longer required" If the truth
were known, the reason for their I'M
ceremonious removal would probably
be that their usefulness was destroyed
because OF some mental worry, bodily
ailment or general indlsposition. These
things, as we all know, are the most
fruitful causes of failure in all walks
of life. The battle of Waterloo was
lost because of a headache. In TINS
quick age our minds must be clear
rapid, active, and free from OUTSIDE
influence or worry, or else we go down
to failure with the throng OF "Hoaters
who go from one place of employment
to another, giving no satisfaction 10

growing older and less useful, with no
ambition, no will power. and no nope.
Every man requires from every other
man the best that Is in him. But no
man car use or get the best that Is
In himself until he is first free from
all fretfnl indispositions and worries.
That was my trouble. was fun

NV stomach in the first place was al
ways out of order, and l was worry

and slow. I made mistakes, and grew

There are thousands like me, going

pheres. No employer wants such mems

Strong Sentiment Against destroying
Twin Lakes, in Calhoun County.
Special TO Times Republican.
Manson, Jan. 3.-An effort is again
being made to drain the Twin lakes,
near here, but vigorous protest Is
being made by the citizens of the
county. The proposed ditch is sur
veyed to come within seventy-seven
feet of the south lake. and is at the
point Of beginning, over ten feet deep
so that by small effort the inter-
venlng space could be dug out and
the south lake thus drained, and THIS
would eventually drain the north lake
also, which is a large body of water
nearly two miles long, popular
camping and fishing place for the res
idents of Manson and other towns. A
petition was signed by almost every
citizen Of Manson and vicinity to ask
the board of supervisors to prevent
the spelling of the lakes. and COM
mittee was appointed to be present at
the January meeting of the board to
take the matter up with them. This
is the second effort to destroy the
lakes, the other failing a year ago.
