Do you ever stop to think, Mr.. Bus
iness Man, that the newspaper which
boosts your city, which seeks to i'm
prove the town you live in, which
helps to fight battles; which is a re-
flex of the progress of the community
is entitled to advertising patronage in

mind apparently is failing him. He
still sticks to his religious ideas and
occasionally attempts to impress his
hearers with them, little realizing that
he is more an object of pity than the
preacher he thinks he is 1t is not
likely that the police will interfere
with him.

THE REy. P|CKEREL
HIDES HIS TALENT
Itinerant Preacher Claims to
Police That His Secret
Hoard Has Been Stolen
POLICE FIND HIM A BEGGING
Lives In Tent Near Ice House and
Complains That Boys Robbed
Him of His ALI.

nave you seen ALEXANDER 9lCkeT6lY
d. D.? He is a character.
About three days ago he blew into
town and started preaching on the
street. He declared he was a minister
of the gospel and a Christian by faith
and he came to redeem Hammond
You-cant appreciate Reverend Pick
erel until you see him. He Is a little
weasand voiced, stoop shouldered. feeble
old man with gray chin whiskers. He
wears a wrinkled blue suit which hangs
Imply on dropping shoulders and a
dress shirt with it's bulging and badly
soiled boosom protruding from the
front Of his coat
The police picked him UP on the
streets this morning where he was
found begging and his examination re-
vealed a pathetic case. Rev Alexander
Campbell Pickerel has been living in a
small tent in the vicinity of the Ham
mond Pure Ice plant.
That arraignment saves hotel bills
and seems to suit Rev. Ptckerers pur-
poses. During his stay in Hammond
this peculiar minister of the gospel sue
ceeded in getting together about $12
in cash. He placed the money in a to-
mato can for safe-keeping and then hid
the can in pile or brick near his tent
He claims that some boys who live
in the vicinity saw him hide the money
and after he had gone down town went
to the spot and got It, At any rate it
is pretty evident that Rev. Pickerel hid
his talent in the ground with the re-
suit that thieves discovered his hiding
place and took the money.
He complained to the police this
morning and they are inclined to think
that the old man either hid the money
and has been unable to flnt it, or that
some one did see it and stole it from
him.
Crowd Hears story.
Quite a crowd gathered in the police
station to hear the old man tell his
story Among them was man who
had been ordained as an exhorter in the
Christian church. He asked the old
gentleman If he had his card which
showed that he was connected with the
church. Rev. Ptckerel said solemly,
God ordained me-" and pointing to his
head. he said: MY card is in there"
I Rev. Pickerel said that he had been
preached for sixteen years and dur
ing that time had held a great many
I important CldIS SeS he Sdlu he was
born and raised in Ohio and that he
had not been home for years.
1 AS the old man sat in a comfortable
chair in the police station it was no
ticeable that he had a habit of hold
4 ing his old derby hat with opening up
and some distance from his body How
he contracted that habit can only be
guessed.
Has Seen Better Days.
The old man has an eastern dialect
and fairly good English. but he pre-
sented a pitiful sight as he sat there
in the station. 1t is apparent that some
time in his life he had been used tC
better things. There is an indica tior
from his manner that perhaps he may
have been the pastor Of a little flock
Of his own and a factor in the com
munity.
Now he is alone in the world. His

Constitution Aadopted.

The constitution and bylaws were
adopted and contained provision
which requires the president to appoint
an executive committee consisting of
fifteen members upon which will de-
volve the responsibility of doing most
OF the active work of the organization
That this work is to be important
and that the organization of a Young
Mems Republican club is an important
political move. is shown by the fact
that County Chairman Richard Schaaf
declares that he will throw the re-
sponsibility for the management of the
comping campaign in Hammond on this
organization.

In spite of the threatening storm
there were over hundred young men
crowded into the superior court room
last night. Politics had been sizzling
all day as the candidates for the vari-
Gus offices were engaged in lining up
their strength. By the time the meet

air of uncertainty about the situation
which made the meeting exceedingly In

The bureau of the census, with the assistance of the forest service of the department of agriculture. has for some years collected statis- tics concerning the annual produc- tion of various forest products, and the preliminary figures on the con- sumption ofrtan barks and extracts for 1907 have just been made pub lie. In point of value the reported consumption of these commodities in the tanneries of the United States in 1907 was slightly less than the re- ported consumption in 1906, the de- crease being from $21,4S7,393 to $21,205, ,547, a loss of S2S1,S46, or 1.3 per cent The total quantity of tan bark consumed decreased from 1,371 ,342 cords to 1,214,401 cords, a loss of 156,941 cords, or 11.4 per cent. The value of tan bark de- creased from S12,774,071 to $11,- oSu,o [ T, losS ol PI,Gl lo,loi VI 95 per cent, while the average cos, per cord delivered at the tannery advanced between the two years fron. S9.32 to $9.52, gain of S0.20, or 2.1 per cent The total consumption of extracts was substantially larger in 1907 than in the preceding year, the increase being from 29,3S9,4 05 pounds to 64,899,535 pounds, a gain of 35,510,130 pounds, or 9.7 per cent. In total value this mate rial advanced from, SS,713,322, to $9,649,673, gain of $936,35l, or 9.7 per cent. While the tanning fn- dustry is widely distributed, the consumption of extracts having been reported in 1907 from 33 states and that of tan bark from 26, the four states of, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan and West Virginia, rank ing in the order named, used nearly two-thirds of the total quantity of bark consumed, and more than one- half of that of extracts. Pennsyl- vania alone used 337,714 cords of bark and 5,61S,3S1 pounds of ex- tracts, which was PTS per cent and SIP per cent, respectively, of the totals of these materials reported for the United States.

The headaches and dizzy feelings that trouble so many persons, are often but symptoms of kidney com plaint.
 Kidney diseases are very treacher- ours They come on silently, gain ground rapidly, and cause. thousands of deaths that could have been pre- vented by treatment in the beginning.
 Nature gives early warnings of every disease, if you would but note and heed them. Backaches, twinges of pain when stopping or lifting, headaches, faint spells and urinary disorders are among the first warn- ings of kidney trouble.
 If these signals are upheeded, there comes a steady, dull. heavy aching in the back and loins, noticeable weakness and loss of flesh, rheumatic attacks, weakening of the sight, IT, regular heart action. languor. attacks of gravel, irregular passages of the kidney secretions, sediment, painful iscalding sensation, dropsical bloating, etc.
 But there is no need to suffer long. poan's Kidney Pills cure all kidney troubles. This remedy has made reputation for quick relief and lasting
