LOWELL.

Since the recent poultry show the
people have awakened to the realiza-
ton that there is money in chickens
and eggs If properly developed, scien-
tifically handled and the best breeds
secured, and this conglomerated mixing
Of varieties cut Que. Since the poultry
show in February there have been
shipped into Lowell seventeen incu-
bators for immediate use by chicken
breeders, and not just put on sale; con-
sequently a large quantity of spring
ers" will be ready for the markets by
the Fourth of July and bring good
prices From March l to April 20, less
than one month, there has been shipped
by freight and express over the Monon
alone from this station 946 cases of
eggs, or 2S,3S0 dozen, or a grand total
of 331,45 eggs, which at the present
price of IA cents per dozen is $3.S6S.9S.

ton and those carried on the trains in
buckets and baskets by passengers. At

Chicken thieves are unusually busy
at the present time in and around Gary

is attributed mostly to the hunger in

intent. In Toleston one person lost
fifteen chickens in a night and has lost
several since. But few people owning
chickens in the community have es-
capped the depredations of the thieves
and no clew to their Identity has been
| discovered.

They included several men and few
women of the morally depraved sort
They had all clipped in" to pay the
expense of getting the dope and the
little bottle purchased in a Hammond
drug store was placed on the table.
In turn each of the members of the
party took a pinch of the faxed pow
der and snuffed it into their noses
They began Shaking their heads off,
to use the coke fiend's expression.
AS the drug took effect their spirits
rose. They were so stimulated that
they soon entered the seventh heaven
of delight. Every man among them
was king and every woman a queen,
even though to stranger who might
have peered in through the door they
were the most depraved and miserable
of persons.
All night they remained in the little
room and from time to time repeated
the first operation. The skies in the
east finally began to tighten. The
party broke up at o'clock in the
morning. The members of the club
started their day of toll as fresh as
though they had enjoyed a splendid
nights sleep.
During the day, however, the effect
of the drug begins to wear off. The
kings and queens discover that they
the beggars. Hopeless slaves to a
habit from which there is no escape
Horrible Sight of "Fiend.,
A casual glance in a looking glass
reveals the fact that the lines In the
face are growing deeper. The hand
trembles more than 1t did. The skin
is a ghostly, sickly yellow. The ann
billions of youth are forever impossible
of attainment. Life is worth living
only for the opportunity it affords to

where the drug may be purchased.
And the most alarming feature about
the whole thing is the fact that some
of the fiends who are so near a physical
collapse that they are unable to earn
the money with which to provide the
drug will give a little of it to some un-
initiated person without letting him
know what it is.
The effect is Immediate. the nose
freezes as they say. the victim is de-
! lighted with the sensation. He is. ig-
norant. perhaps, of what he is doing,
and offers to buy more. The coke"
hend shows him how and where to get
/ it, providing he will divide his pur-
chase and by that act another victim
is added to the thousands who are
already slaves to the habit in Chicago.

reporter, ut won't cost you a cent

The fellow looked around suspicious
