BILLY SUNDAY RANT|NG
Evangelist Making Big HUI
labaloo at Webster
City, Iowa.

Billy Sunday, the sensational evan
gelist, is attracting more advertising
than he ever got before and more gold
en- shekels for his bank account by his
TRADES in Webster City, Ia.
There he is having a wordy battle
with a theatrical manager over the
Salome question.
Manager Jersey of the Ottumwa
Grand Opera House, who has been fir
ing a few hot shots at Sunday through
the local press and with hand bills,
hands him the following jolt on the
Salome description:
Take his portrayal of the dance of
Herodius in his sermon Sunday after
noon. Could anything be more filthy =?
It would be interesting to know how
many fathers read Sundays story of
that dance to their daughters; how
many mothers read it to their sons; how
many young men discussed 1t with
their young women friends. Was I not
right when I said that If the vulgar
language he Is brazen enough to cal
gospel was used on the stage of the
Grand Opera House, I'd get run out
Of town or sent to the penitentiary?"
The evangelist and the opera house
manager are having 1t back and forth
hot and heavy. The odds thus far are
generally conceded to lie with Manager
Jersey.

CLARKE IS THREATENED
Fire Interrupts Thanksgiv-
ing Dinner Scherer's
Barn Destroyed.
Especial to THE T1MEs.)

Clarke Station. Ind, Nov. 2S.-While
just about to sit down to an inviting
Thanksgiving dinner in company with
a number of her friends, Mrs. w.
Scherer had occasion to open the door
which led to the yard Upon opening
the door she found the barn in a mass
OF flames. SO nearly destroyed that all
efforts to save 1t or anything in it were
futile. The barn. its whole contents,
two horses, the harness and the hay,
were totally destroyed.
Mrs. Scherer and her guests worked
as hard as they could to save the sur
rounding property and were later re-
infomed by a bucket brigade made up
of the people of Clarke Station. and
while much good and hard work was
done, nothing could be saved from the
barn. Lucky for Clarke Station in
general, for had the wind blown from
the opposite direction from which II
did come. the entire town might have
been threatened. The cause of the fire
is unknown. 1t began at 6:15 o'clock
in the evening

a cerebral hemorrage and was super
induced by old age.

died about a year ago this winter.

AUTO BUS BRINGS TRADE
Kaufman & Wolf Are Much
Pleased With Work of
Mammoth Auto.

Messrs Kaufman & Wolf of the Lion
store will watch the work of their big
auto bus this winter with hte object
of seeing how successful it will be in
plowing through the snow through the
country roads. A big vehicle like the
Lion store bus has never had try
out in this county, and it is still a
question in the minds of the proprietors
how successful it will be In bringing
in the country patronage.
Thus far the bus, which goes as far
south as Crown Point, has been a big
drawing card. in fact, so much that ii
was necessary to replace the thirty
horse power engine for one of sixty
horse power. If the present bus comes
up to the expectation of the manage
ment it will either be supplanted by q
still larger one next spring, or another
one Of similar type may be added.

Edward Wilson, the negro who was
arrested after being found in a Wabash

the Wabash officials refused to prose-
cute the case. The negro was found in
the car at Montpelier. Ind, after he
had boarded 1t in Ohio and as the of
fense of trespass or breaking the seal
was committed in another state. it was
Thought advisable not to attempt to
extradite the negro. especially in view
of the fact that none of the mer-
chandise was stolen.

IS HOME FROM VISIT
f. Richard Schaaf Not Fully
Recovered from Strain
of Arduous Task.

R. Richard Schaaf arrived in Ham
mond from West Baden this morning
and plunged into a pile of work which
was waiting for him at his desk. Mr..
Schaaf was sick during most of the
time he spent at West Baden and has
not yet fully recovered from the at
tack.
He stayed at the West Baden hotel,
but did not enjoy himself to the ex-
tent that he would If he had not been
under the weather. Mr.. Schaaf is now
engaged in winding up the work of the
township trustee and turning it over to
the man who will finally be selected
to succeed him.
1t is apparent that the genial county
chairman has not yet fully recovered
from the strain of the campaign, but
he hopes to be in the pink OF condition
again in a little while.
Mr.. Schaaf has several important
tasks before him in the near future. He
had a conference with Jim Goodrich at
Chicago soon and he is one of the
principal speakers at the coming meet
ing of township trustees of Indiana.

STANDARD HAS
NO |. C. ORDERS
Are Making ALL Steel Pas.
senger Coaches at the
Local Plant.

The news that the Illinois Central
railway is ordering all-stee1 passenger
coaches, which will be made at the
Standard Steel car plant in Hammond.
is denied by officials of the COM
pany, who while declaring that steel
coaches are being constructed at the
local plant, say they have received no
Illinoi Central orders
The Illinois Central is the first rail-
road operating out of Chicago to act
on the long mooted question of strong
er and safer construction in passen-
ger cars. The steel affairs will be
wider inside than wooden cars and a
circular roof will allow a greater
height from floor to ceiling, insuring
better ventilation. The new cars will
cost between $4,000 and $4,000 each,
compared with $500 for wooden
coaches. The management of the Illi-
nois Central has been considering the
steel passenger car question for some
time and the conclusion was reached
yesterday with the announcement of the
actual order fer steel cars.
Those who have studied the new ma
terial for car construction are enthusi-
astic about the advantage of steel over
wood. That the former will withstand
collisions and other accidents has beer
demonstrated thoroughly and there is
little doubt that personal injuries In
many of the railroad wrecks of the past
would have been minimized with stee
construction. The danger from fire with
steel cars is almost entirely eliminated
and that they will not break and crum-
BILE as do wooden cars is self-evident.

CORONER DOESN' TAKE
OFFICE FOR A YEAR
Coroner Elect Shanklin Is
Not Worrying AS to
Appointees.

OF all the county candidates who
were elected in the recent election the
least enviable from point of appoint
ing deputies is that of the coroner.
This burden. which accompanies the
victory, falls on DIR. E. M. Shanklin
of Hammond, who was elected on the
republican ticket.
Until he takes office a year from
next January his position may be one
of worry and suspense If he sees fit to
permit the deputy offceseeker to make
it.
From present indications it would
seem, however, that the coroner-elect is
not worrying or spending sleepless
nights as to whom he will appoint as
his representative over the county.
Enough applications have already
come in to supply two counties, but
the nothing doing" sign will be hung
out for about a year.

.R. SHAW IS ARRESTED
Hammond Man Suspected of
Implication in Boy
Mystery.

Robert Shaw, employed in the Stand
ard Steel Car plant. was arrested this
morning on the charge of having kid
naped John Dunlevy. the 12-year-old
son of Mr. and Mrs. John Dunlevy, who
conduct saloon at the corner of Nor
ton and Columbia avenues.
The boy has been missing for two
weeks and the mother of the boy thinks
that Shaw knows of the boys where
abouts. Shaw appeared in Judge Prest's
court this morning after the papers
were served on him and furnished bond
for his appearance on Dec. 1. Should
there be sufficient grounds to warrant
it. Shaw will be turned over TO the
superior court. Shaw claims that he is
innocent but Mrs. Dunlevy is author
ity for the statement that Shaw in
speaking of the boys disappearance
said that he could lay his hands upon
the boy within the city of Hammond.
The mother of the hoy is inclined to
connect the disappearance Of an amount
of whiskey, which disappeared the fol-
lowing night The missing boy at
tended the Wallace school and after
school went out with other boys to play
shiny" Nothing has been heard OF
him since then.
