READY FOR THE
MONTICELLO MEET
Lake County Democrats Ex-
pect to See Judge Darroch
Nominated Tomorrow.
IDACH'S NAME IS MENTIONED
List of Delegates From Lake County
and They Will Go to Monti-
cello Tonight.

Lake county democrats are primed
convention to be held at Monticello to-
morrow afternoon.
Any possibility that Judge Darroch
may have as loser and any strength
that Attorney Honan of Rensselaer, may
develop as candidates will be offset by
the Lake county delegation who have
a candidate of heir own up their sleeve,
the convention dark horse-not so dark
either for judge ]. G. Ibach's name has
been mentioned more than once as
candidate
Keeps Eye on DarrOch.
The Lake county delegation is keep
ing three things in mind, its support
of Judge Darroch, whom it wants above
all others, the background for Attorney
Honan of Rensselaer,. and its own can
didate in case Honan developes strength
above that of Darroch, something how
ever that is not likely to happen If
Hammond democrats are telling the
truth.
Lake county democrats. at least some
of them, expect Darroch to be nomin-
ated in one, two, three order, but there
are those who fear that Honan has
seen deeplaid scheme to carry off the
nomination and there are those who
wish things would so shape themselves
that a Lake county man would be nom
mated.
The convention will be called to
order at 1870 in the afternoon, and If
everything goes smoothly it will be
over in an hour.
Lake county is entitled to fourteen
delegates, most of which will go down.

MANY ARE POISONED
Joy at Lake Front Park
Proves Dangerous to
Hammond and Whiting

Hammond doctors have dozen or
more cases of ivy poisoning which have
been contracted at the Lake Front park
DIR. E. NJ. Shanklin himself was the
victim of the ivy which is said to be
growing on this north side breathing
spot and at the present time he is just
getting over the effects of coming in
contact with this dangerous weed.
Several Hammond people have come
to the various doctors in town with
hands and faces swollen with some un-
known af1iction only TO find that they
had been poisoned with the weed on
the lake front.
Eight or ten years ago when several
Hammond families made ii a practice
TO camp at the lake front it was a
common thing for the campers to be
poisoned with ivy
Since then it was thought that the
weed had been eradicated but the ex-
perienees of the Hammond people lately
indicate that there is still some of the
weed growing in its old accustomed
haunts.
Dr. Shanklin suggests that the city
ought to make an investigation and
have all of the ivy which is found
grubbed out.

The preliminary hearing was held

little fellow who seemed to be greatly
awed by his presence in the court room.
Didn't Seem to Care.
| Gilbert Isaacson, the farmer who did
the shooting, sat in stoical indifference
while the evidence was being heard.
He is large man with a sandy mus
tache and did not seem to have altered
his opinion regarding the right or
wrong of shooting of the shooting
! The story of the shooting as brought
out in the evidence was that the Cruel
! boy was in the strawberry patch on a
moonlight night. While he was pick
ling strawberries and eating them he
suddenly heard a noise and turning
! saw Isaacson coming towards him.
He then turned and ran as fast as
/ he could while Isaacson shouted for
him to halt.
Didn't Know What to Do.
! The boy said he didn't know whether
to stop or to keep on running when
suddenly a shot was fired which was

CHICAGOAN SUFFERS
A BROKEN LEG
Munster Farmer Ditched By Hoggish
Auto Driver and Narrowly Es-
capes Death Beneath a Load of
Hay-Accident to Chicago Man
Sunday.

The merry war Is on between the
Chicago auto tourist and the farmer.
Three serious auto accidents have
happened south of Hammond within
the past few days, and the Ridge Road
formers are simply wild at the indigni-
ties that they forced to suffer Mt
the hands of brutal and cowardly driv-
ers of automobiles from Chicago.
Car Fits Description.
Though his car answers perfectly in
tally ran down the Kikkert buggy
south of Hammond. last Sunday, W. r.
Smith denies that he was responsible
for the accident.
Smith was questioned yesterday by
the Chicago police and he admits hav-
ing a big red auto and also admits
that he was at Toleston, Ind, on Sun
day.
Makes Tame Defense.
Smith says that he saw no accidents
and that his party consisted of himself
and wife and two small children. The
Chicagoan who is a jeweler living at
1920 State street, comes out with the
story that there is another automobile
like his. except that his has black
stripes, which carries a duplicate of
his number, and he suspects that it
Wa the one which caused the acci-
dent.
Family Is Recovering.
The Kikkert family. who were injur-
ed in the cowardly accident on Sun
day, are recovering and it is not
thought by the doctor who is attend
ing them that any untoward results
will follow Mr.. Kikkert would give
a good deal If he could fasten the
blame for the accident on the right
| person. The Munster and Highland
! farms are incensed a the number of
accidents caused by Chicago touring
| car owners.
Another COwardIy Trick.
The other day Peter Molenaar, Jr,
| young farmer, was coming out of
| the marsh near Munster with load
| of hay when he met with an auto that
refused to give him any of the road
and he was turned into the ditch. His
! load was upset and Molenaar narrow
! ly escaped serious injury, though hs
was badly bruised and scratched

SALT FOR CATTLE on

The requirement that all cattle,

salt at frequent intervals Is regu-

trade took advantage OF the unfavor-
able outlook for the spring wheat
harvest and again advanced prices.
AS direct result OF trading In ad-
vance on conditions which expert
enced grain men knew would result
In short yields for the year, the
wheat raisers over the entire winter
belt were enabled to rush their
surplus to market at far better than
normal prices and at 15c TO 25c Over
the prices prevailing a couple OF
months before harvest. Spring
wheat raisers .also marketed heav-
lily at the advanced prices This was
the time at which the farmers before
referred to made their contracts for
spring delivery.
Later in the year. when n large
per cent of the wheat raised In this
country had left first hands, tho

proaching Argentine crop. Well de.

American country. The exportablc
surplus was estimated all the way
from 100 to 100 million bushels

lions shipped from the 1906-07
crop. Early in December reports
confirmed large yields. Conditions

porters OF Argentine we're quick 20
