see any use of trying to do it again."

not long before a fight was precipltated

however. and had it not been for me
fact that the Irish boy began throwing
Irish confetti (bricks) the German
might have disposed of him at that
A larger boy tried to interfere with
the Irish boy when he started to throw
stones but was kicked in the shins for
his pains. The lawyer in telling of the
incident said, 1T was great scrap
and we were all so interested in the
boys fight that we did not notice the
policeman who came along and chased
us all off the lot.
Joseph COnrOy. a we'll known Ham
mond democrat. was being chided by
crowd Of republicans who asked him
why it was that he would persist IN
his determination to vote for Bryan in
spite of his political follies and fala-
cies.
Joe's answer was as follows: Early
in life I made up my mind that would
never vote for a lawyer for president.
William Howard is a lawyer and ever
since Bryan drew up the widow Ben
nets will I have been convinced that
he is not d lawyer consequently he VIII
get my vote"
This explanation was very satist4c-
tory TO the republicans as being an
average democratic explanation of
their reasons for being loyal TO the old
donkey and the platform he stands
on.

ASPHALT PAVING
IS THE LATEST
Molding Blocks Must Give
Way to Ashpalt, Say
Property Owners.
THEY MEET WITH J.W. OYER
South Holman Street Men Say They
Are Tired of Dumping
the Bumps.

Exit moulding blocks. Enter as
phaIt paving
Holman street simply can't make
up its mind what clothes it is going
to wear 1t is ashamed of its pres
ent garb It has been pointed to with
shame as the most uncouth street in
the city and 1t appears now that it is
too late to get fall suit, it will have
to wait until next spring before the
Improvement is made.
There was a little meeting in the
office of John w. Dyer in the CONNER
icial bank this morning which was at
tended by four or five of the South
Side property owners. They definitely
decided that, so far as they were con
cerned, the city could never put in
moulding block and their choice was
asphalt.
Want Asphalt Coming.
They do not propose to put down a
regular asphalt street That would
cost too much but what they want to
see done is to have a foundation OF
crushed stone and then coating OF
an inch or more of asphalt.
They are convinced that this is the
best kind of a pavement and they are
lunalterably opposed to brick. THOSE
who attended the meeting were John
| w. Dyer, Thomas Hammond, Fred Mott
and one or two others Postmaster W
! II. Gostlin is said to be opposed to brick
and favors asphalt. although he never
undertood to force his views on the
rest or the property owners and al
ways said that he would favor what
[ the majority wanted.
1t was suggested to Mr.. Dyer. who
seems to be the leader in his opposi-
tion to brick, that the adoption OF
another kind of paving would delay
the Improvement for the year.
Tired of Humping the Bumps.
His reply was that it would be pref
cradle to have the Improvement de
layed than to have a pavement foisteC
on the property owners that they die
not want. This is not believed to bt
the opinion Of the other property own
ers. however. who are sick and tired o
riding over the bumps in their car
riages and having the dust from un
sprinkled streets continually blown
into their homes.

The ROunder Says

Some of the boys around the X. c.
club rooms are telling pretty good
story on one of the club members who
walked from Dyer to Hammond on
last Sunday night, about three a. m.
1t seems that several young ladies
Sunday and when they started for
home, found 1t was later than their
usual retiring time. and came to the
conclusion They Were Afraid to Go
Home in the Dark"
The Hammond young man was in
formed that if he accompanied them
home he could get another rig at Dyer
and drive back.
On the arrival safely at sleepy Hol-
low" the Hammond man was told that
there would be nothing doing at the
livery stable for him. as the barns
had been closed for the night and the
head stable boy would not open up
before Monday for love or money. The
young man was in a predicament. He
found that all the trains had stopped
and because he wanted to get home,
rather than stay all night in such an
unaccommodating town he started to
count the eight milestones to Ham
mond. The walking was reported not
very crowded but he says Never Again
Mable"
well known Hammond lawyer was
telling about fight which occurred
over in East Chicago. 1t was between
two street urchins and attracted a
great deal of attention.
One of the combatants was a Ger
man boy and the other was typical
fighting Mick by the nafe of Finerty.
The trouble started from a wrestling
match.
The German seemed to be the
stronger of the two and he proved
that he could down the Irishman on
two occasions. The Irishman was
