SELLS A GARY BLOCK
T. w. Englehart Disposes of
Property to Iowa
Banker.

An entire block of property was pur-
chased yesterday from T. w. Engle-
hardt of the South Broadway Land
company by H. G. Solem. vice presi-
dent of national bank at Souix City,
Ia. The property was purchased from
+. Englehardt at a price of $500 a lot,
and is located on the west side of
Broadway and south of the ridge road.
The sale recently made by Mr. Engle-
hardt is the largest which has been re-
corded for several weeks. The buyer
of the property has made four trips to
the city and has made several pur-
chases in South Broadway property.
The last trip he was more impressed
than ever with the city and the steel
mills, and his investments were heavy.
The property will be used largely for
speculation, although Mr. Solem in
tends in the spring to build several
residences in that neighborhood
In selling this property to the Iowa
banker Mr. Englehardt disposed of the
last of his property west of Broadway
and south of the ridge road. The hold
ings of Mr.. Englehardt were adjacent
to those of Mr.. Jackson's road house.

TOWN FATHERS HEAR
Mr.. CANF|ELD'S PLAN
Chicago Man Appears, Who Would
Police Magic City With Private
Force of Such Efficiency, That
Would Make Pinkertons Look Poor
Subject Is Tabled.

AS predicted in THE TIMES last night
the town board of Gary decided yester-
day to advertise for bids for the ex-
cavation for the new $4,000 city hall
building These bids will be received
at the next regular meeting of the
town board and the contract will then
be let. This will be pushed to compile
ton so that the building operations can
be started at once.
The board was unanimous in its
opinion that the work should be started
at once, because of the fact that if
they wait until the frost is out of the
ground in he spring, the delay will
mean that the building will scarcely
be completed before fall In the mean
time the police will be SO incapaciated
through the increase in their business
that they would be seriously handi-
capped. The fire department would
also have a great deal of difficulty in
accomplishing their work properly
while located in their present quar-
tiers.
The only other business aside from
the routine considered by the board
was the request by man named o. A.
Garfield of Chicago, who wished the
privilege of establishing and maintain
ing a separate and private police sta
ton, police officers and private burglar
alarm system of his own for the bene-
1T of the business men of the city.
Mr. Garfield related at length his
dream of a private police system of
his own. Their civic pride, however, in
the police department which the trus-
tees are trying to maintain, compelled
them to lay the matter on the table
until such a time as the local force Is
considered inadequate to handle the
situation.
The plan, however or Mr. Garfield
aroused much interest, as he suggested
that it was a model system appropriate
for Gary, the model city. The plan was
unique because of the fact that it was
formulated on such an elaborate scale
that in comparison to the Pinkerton
service would look like the work of a
town marshal
Mr. Garfield said that for the first
few months he would only establish
his protection system along Broadway
and Fifth avenue, and later in other
parts of the city as the business men
demanded it. He proposed to lay wires
to each merchant or bankers place OF
business so that when a burglar at
| tempted to enter the place an alarm
would be sounded at the central sta
! ton. They would then have plenty Of
men present so that they could descend
in a body and rope in the marauder

was in use, a secret switch would be
turned on to inform them that the &C.

$4,000
DAMAGES
Nineteen Year Old Gary

! Court.
STREET GAR COMPANY

Anna Retka Said To Be Mentally De-

ceveide When She Was Thrown to
the Pavement In Attempting to
Get Aboard.

In a suit which will be filed In
short time iu Chicago court, Attor-
neys Curtiss. widholm and Slick of
Gary will ask for damages, probably to
the extent of $4,000, for injuries done
to 19-year-oid Anna Retka by the Chi
cago City Railway company.
The accident happened several
months ago, Jan. 90, 1907, and since
that time the young lady has been men
tally unbalanced to such an extent that
she is absolutely helpless. The case
ha not been given to an attorney pre-
vious to this time because of the fact
that the victim, while in the hospital.
signed an agreement with the railroad
company not to sue them upon receiv-
ing the sum of 50.
The circumstances of the injuries to
the young woman were extremely pitt
full and were not made known to her
relatives and friends in Gary until some
time after 1T occurred. owing to her
having been taken to a hospital where
she was obscured among the hundreds
of patients.
The particulars the attorneys have
found hard to obtain, owing to the
state that she cannot recall the manner
in which she fell from the car. As
near as can be ascertained, however.
she was attempting to board the car at
Halsted and Twenty sixth street, when
it started suddenly before she could Sc
cure a firm hold She was thrown to
the ground, where the base of her skull
was fractured and was then removed
to the office of physician in the vi

After dressing the wound she was
taken in a police ambulance to the
Peoples hospital, where she remained
for several weeks, after which time
she was removed to the home of hel

Walk from Gary to
East Chicago.
Especial to THE T1MEs.)

East Chicago, Ind, Dec. 23.-Penni-
less, and with his clothing half torn
from his body, William Toms, Chi
cago blacksmith, was last evening
brought to this city on a c., L. S. & S.
B. car and given lodging in the local
police cells over night Toms had
very narrow escape while walking
along the South Shore lines right of
way from Gary, and was nearly thrown
into eternity by one of the large west
bound cars.
According to the tale told by Toms
to TIMES representative last evening
he had been endeavoring to secure
work in Gary all day yesterday. Fail
Ing to do so, and wishing to reach Chi
cago again, he decided to walk to East
Chicago before nightfall and then beg
the price of a ride to Chicago. AS he
neared Clark Station he failed to hear
the car approaching from Gary and was
struck by the side of the car, the wood
striking him In the middle of his back.
He was thrown to the ground and car
ried about forty feet by the force of the
blow.
In rolling along the stony right of
way his trousers were badly torn and
his limbs lacerated. The motorman
seeing his plight, stopped the car and
brought the man to East Chicago
where he was turned over to the loca
department. His bruises were so pain
full that he had to be assisted to the
police station by one of the officers
On registering. he declared that he was
a single man and resided at 800 War

by the labors of the local men just in
time to prevent the massive walls from
crashing in.
The building is one that has not
been rented except to three small shop
proprietors. The Paulson Tea and Cof-
fee store, A. Lipner, the tailor and the
Pappas brothers restaurant occupied
the rear half of the ground floor, and
these businesses were burned out
Fortunately the building and all the
damage to the stock of the various
occupants of the building was covered
by insurance, held by the Van Horne
and Beck agencies, and there will be
no loss accruing to either the property
or stocks
The building is valued at $40, 900 and
| is the property of Mrs. Bertha Sailing
| er, who is the mother-in law of j.
Cline, the Michigan avenue clothier.
Insurance men who inspected the ruins
yesterday placed the damage at not
exceeding $4,000 to the building, and
as high as $500 on the stocks of the
1 three concerns.

BUILDS FIRE IN BOX CAR
Peter Johnson Of East Chi
cago Destroys Railroad
Property.

Whiting, Ind, Dec. 23.-Peter John
son, an East Chicago man, was ar
rested here yesterday afternoon on the
charge of arson. He was arraigned
before Judge Jones and bound over to
the superior court under a $500 bond.
He was unable to furnish the bond and
will await his trial in the county jail
Johnson, according to alleged facts
obtained, was found yesterday after
noon by private detective for the B.
& O. railroad yard in Whiting. He was
housed in an empty box car and main
tanned a brisk bonfire by which he
warmed himself.
Johnson was released from the coun-
ty Jail only a week ago, where he was
sent some time ago on the charge of
having attempted to pass worthless pa
per as money. All of his transgres-
sion are SO crude and fragrant that the
authorities are disposed towards leni-
ency, believing rather that his acts
are prompted by ignorance At times
his acts take on the nature of being
committed by one demented. He is said
to have a family in East Chicago.

PROPOSED COMMISSION A SHAM.
@Non.Partlsan" Body to Revise Tariff
Is Out of the Question.

The specific tariff measure which
the National Association of Manufae-
turers favor is the Beveridge-Steener-
son bill. which provides for a non
partisan tariff commission to gather
information, make suggestions, and
guide congress in revising the Dingley
schedule. This wonderful commission
is to be appointed by the president, a
Republican, with a view to carrying
out his own Republican policies. The
people who are urging it say that they
are Republicans and pro~tectionists,
but assume that the poor, fieeceds
abused, insulted, raeked and ruined
multitude will regard them as non-par-
tisan and entirely disinterested, in
spite of their confessions to the con-
trary. We assume that their PROPOSE
ton is both unconstitutional aud In
expedient. 1t is unconstitutional be-
cause "all bills for raising revenue
! shall originate in the house of repre-
sentatives," while the bill in question
originated in the senate, and because
it would have the effect of putting the
initiation of tariff bills in the hands OF
a commission appointed by the presi-
dent with the advice and consent OF
the senate" and thereby deprive the
house of it's prerogative in this vital
matter.
This scheme is an attempt to take
away from the representatives of the
people the power of taxation secured
to them by the constitution of the
United States.
1t is not only an unconstitutional
measure, but a deceptive, hypocriticaI
measure. Its authors and hacker;
know that any commission appointed
by a Republican president and con
firmed by a Republican senate woult
be a Republican and partisan commits
sion. They know that the question o
high tariff and low tariff-the ques
ton of protection and monopoly-is
party question. They know that tn
Democratic doctrine is to take ava,
monopolies, to emove the legal obsta
cles to wholesome competition nov
existing, and to get down as soon a
possible to a system in which ever,
tub shall stand on it's own bottom, Ii
manufacturing and commerce. The
know that the Republican doctrine !
the antithesis of this. They kno,
that it is impossible to find any hor
est man who can be non-partisan o
this question.
Even if the bill should pass tn
courts will refuse to give it the effec
} designed by its advocates.

Extraordinary Dividends.

The Oregon Railroad and Naviga-
ton company, controlled by the Union
Pacific, has declared an extra dividend
of $75 a share on its preferred stock.
The officials of the Union Pacific state
that the dividend was merely a mat
ter of bookkeeping" The dividend
last year was so per cent. Without
knowing the details of these extraor-
binary dividends, it is perhaps unfair
to criticise, but on general principles
a railroad that can pay such dividends
should certainly reduce rates, or be
forced 20 do so. One cannot help but
look with suspicion on the financial
operation of the railroads controlled
by Mr.. Hartman, whose motto seems
to be to charge all the traffic will
bear"

The Evolution Of
Household Remedies.

The modern patent medicine bust
ness is the natural outgrowth of the
old-time household remedies.
In the early history of this country,
EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS HOME
MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas,
bitters, laxatives and tonies, were to be
found in almost every house, compound
ed by the housewife, sometimes assisted
by the a~pothecary or the family doctor.
Such remedies as picra, which was
aloes and g~uassia, dissolved in apple
brandy. Sometimes a hop tonic, made
of whiskey, hops and bitter barks. A
score or more of popular, homemade
remedies were thus compounded, the
formulate for which were passed along
from house to house, sometimes written,
sometimes verbally communicated. -
The patent medicine business is a
natural outgrowth from this whole
some, old-time custom. In the begin
ming, some enterprising doctor, i'm
pressed by the usefulness of one of
these homemade remedies, would take
it up, improve it in many ways, manu-
facture it on a large scale, advertise it
mainly through almanacs for the home,
and thus it would become used over a
large area. LATTERLY THE H0USE-
HOLD REMEDY BUSINESS TOOK
A MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC
FORM.
Peruna wG.s originally one Of these
old-time remedies. 1t was used by the
Mennonites, of Pennsylvania, before it
was offered to the public for sale. DR..
Hartman, THE ORIGINAL CON-
FOUNDER OF PERUNA, is of Men
MONTE origin. First, he prescribed it
for his neighbors and his patients.
The sale of it increased, and at last he
established a mandatory and fur
nisned it to the general drug trade.
Peruna is useful in a great many
climatic ailments, such as coughs, colds;
sore throat, bronchitis, and catarrhal
diseases generally. THOUSANDS OF
FAMILIES HAVE LEARNED THE
USE OF PERUNA and its value in the
treatment Of these ailments. They
have learned to trust and believe in
Dr.. Hartman's Judgment, and to rely
on his remedy, Peruna.

When you come to analyze it and
think about it, Gov. Blacks indict-
ment of his party is as severe as it is
true. Gov. Black nominated Roose-
welt for vice-president at Philadelphia
in 1900. He has been one of the ma
tional leaders of the Republican party
for many years. Therefore, when he
expresses an opinion Of his own party
that opinion may justly be regarded as
a just and fair statement. Now, Gov.
Black recently said: I'VE have seen
=. the independence Of the courts.
the fixed and salutary boundaries Of
coordinate functions, the guarantee
of fair play, the scrupulous regard for
the limitations of official power, all
staggering under blows inflicted in the
party name" And since all the blows
under which these things are stagger-
ing have been rendered effectivetonly
because the Republican party has by a
vast majority made them effective by
its unqualified approval, surely the
party is &C rotten and reckless as it's
leader.
