CROWN POINT DEMOCRAT (?)
GETS BADLY BALLED UP.
Ludicious Yarn Gets People Excited
at County Seat.

SANDER and villifcation untold have
appeared repeatedly in the columns Of
a Hammond democratic sheet. but it
remained for the fertile brain of a
Grown Point democrat" 90 to hatch
up yarn. the whole substance of
which should be termed in a shorter
word than falsehood The Grown
Point democrat is shouldering a fear
full pack of lies in the article, and II
he had only the temerity to come out
in the open and make the assertions
that appeared in the article there are
plenty of good fair-minded democrats
and republicans in Crown Point that
would ride him out of either party, and
the paper in question is certainly hard
up for campaign dope to resort TO the
printing of such an article. The ar
ticle, the gist of which is ludicious in
the extreme, and is not worth reading,
but for the attack upon two of Crown
Point respectable professional men.
Can any democrat in Crown Point be
ignorant enough not to know that
HIGHWAY is no longer superintendent
of Crown Point schools? Don't they
know that he is county superintendent
and has been for months?
The democrats know that Watson
Gay came on a Saturday. consequently
there was no school on that day. How
could anyone dismiss school when there
wasn't any to dismiss. Is there any
truth in the above statements fair
minded democrats and republicans.
1t reads in part as follows. and is
enough to show how correct that demo
Graf (2) is in his statements, and just
how much value can be placed on the
yellow sheet that will print such
stuff 81:
Crown Point democrats are indig-
nant. and in fact some republicans OF
the county seat who are not hide
bound" take equally as strong excep-
tion to the narrow minded partisanshir
of two educators who are drawing sal
aries from all the people and whose
duty is TO all and not to one political
party Professor Curtis and Highway
have unqualified and certainly lost the
respect and esteem of great share
of the democrats who had heretofore
looked upon them as educators. not
political ward heelers. with no re-
spect for those who happen to differ
from lHeIn III pOtlllCSy dE tuty dlG ~ y
seem to be-
Superintendent Curtis manifested
contempt for democrats both on Wat
son and Marshall days in Crown Point
and in such a way that it will not bt
forgotten in hurry.
And Highway, superintendent o
Crown Point schools He had thu
schools dismissed on Watson day. Blu
when Marshall day came he refused
to dismiss the schools or give tn,
pupils chance to see the democra til
candidate for governor. AS if thi
were not enough to show how small
caliber the man is, he gave out oil

FLEET SPORTS IN
BATTLE PRACTICE

Says the cruiser West Virginia's
smart little magazine. The Dirty Box:
We are pleased to see the great inter-
est that is taken in preparing for the
coming Battle Practice. Everybody
seems to have their heart and soul in
the drills and the competition between
the different crews is great. Speed
is not all that is looked for. Accuracy
in loading is what accounts. All shells
must be we'll seated, the powder bags
must go home without any ripping and
the primer must be in the breech Each
man has a certain thing to do and he
is responsible for it. If anything goes
wrong he is to blame. Each Friday
afternoon competitive drills are held
between the different six-inch guns.
The reward is not great and even if
they were no reward at all the crews
would do just as good. The sporting
blood is innate in all Americans and
it is sport for them, and to be able to
load faster and more accurately than
the rest is the goal of each crew. The
three inch battery must also be fast in
loading. This battery is used in re-
pelling torpedo attack and the firing
must be quick and accurate Loading
is only part of the drill. Sighting the
gun is the most important of all You
may load as fast as it is possible to
load, but if the shells do not hit, it's
mere waste of good shot and shell.
President Roosevelt in the speech
which he made on the quarterback
while aboard this vessel on the trip
from South Pass to Chesapeake Bay
| said, THE shots that hit are those that
count" The pointers are at it every
day, training and Tearing to keep their
eyes on the target. With the practice
that they get there is no excuse for a
miss. The turrets are also hard at
work and we expect to see them do
good work They are loading faster
now than they ever did before and the
pointers are just as good. Taking
all in all we expect this ship to give
good account of itself in the next
Battle Practice.

This sign is permanently attached
to the front of the main building of
the Lydia e. Pinkham Medicine
Company, Lynn, Mass.
What Does This Sign Mean?
1t means that public inspection of

that there is nothing about the bus

board"
1t means that permanent invita-
ton is extended to anyone to come

FISHMARKET SHOW
WAS BIG SUCCESS

with the Roads and Bridges team, cap
tanned by Charles Costa.
Mccullough of Fort Shafter and
Shurlock of the Maryland next mixed
it in an eight-round go which resulted
in the sailor getting the decision. 1t
was a hammer and tongs affair. Nc
Cullough acted the part or human
chopping block until the sixth round
when he made a rally which brought
the crowd to it's feet, and from then on
till the end of the bout performed ere
ditably with his husky opponent. The
soldies is as game man as has
ever been seen in the local ring but is
shy on speed. That may come with a
good instructor.
Next on the carr was the eight
round go between Jack McFadden and
frankie Smith. 1t was Smiths first
appearance here and his work was
watched with keen interest. His clever
neses was a revelation. He sent Nc
Fadden to the floor in an early round
but tasted the same medicine a round
or two later. Every round was light
ming fast and honors were fairly even
till the eight when Smith let out a
link and placed his right to the deci-
sion beyond the shadow of doubt.
Smith is clever, all right, but he'll have
to hit a whole lot harder than he did
last night if he is going to defeat Trim
kIe of the Maryland in the champion
ship go before the Independence Club
this evening.
The program wound up with catch
as-can wrestling match between Sailor
Roberts of the U S. S. Iroquois and
Schindle of the Maryland, the heavy
weight champion of the combined At
lantic and Pacific fleets.
AS neither man had the advantage at
the end of siXty-five minutes on the
mat, both parties decided to call the
bout a draw and Referee Brown of
the South Dakota so ruled.
Paddy Ryan refereed the boxing and
H. M. Ayres acted as master of cere-
monies and announcer.
