Roanoke.
He was primarily honest to the core
and a born fighter. He was public
spirited and had his way about things
or kicked out of the harness. He was
patriotic and SO deep and decided were
his political principles that they found
expression in partizanship. If he was a
partizan he was not without company
agreeable and multitudinous.

IN REGARD TO WAGE-EARNER.

Reviewing the conditions of the
various trades in the state for last
year the Beureau of Labor and
Printing, though the assistant
commissioners, gives expression to
the following:
1.-THE conclusions reached with
reference to wage-earners were OBJ
tanned at a period when conditions
indicated a fortunate state of af-
fairs for this class of the states
citizenship. Later in the year,
however, and after all the infor-
nation concerning this feature of
the report had been collected,
working-men we're thrown into a
state of unrest on account of finan-
cial disturbances which retarded
the wheels of industry to such an
extent as to seriously affect the
progress of these wealth producers
generally"
"During the first three quarters
of the year 1907 the wage-earners
made more rapid progress, per-
haps, than for any similar period
in the history of the state. There
was a perslstant demand for all
kinds of labor and wages scared
for above the usual scale. The
summary below presents an &C.
curate idea of conditions prior to
the industrial depression, which
came upon the country during the
closing months of the year, result
ing in a reduction of wages in
nearly every line of industrial de-
velopment, and diminishing great
ly the apparent need for the erv
ices of the working classes that
had existed a few months prev
ious. Many industrial plants be-
gan running on short time, in ad-
ditition to which thousands of
laborers were compelled to accept
a reduction of wages, also. Es-
pecially is this true regarding OPP
eratives of textile institutions and
the inevitable result has been an
abandonment, by large numbers,
of the mill village and a return
to the rural communities.
'tThe moral and educational
conditions of the wage-earners,
throughout the state, show an i'm
provement that should be most
pleasingas indicated in themselves,
many of whom have written let
tiers expressive of their views upon
certain public questions, viz:
Child labor in the mills, compul-
sorry education and immigration.
The preponderance of sentiment
is averse to child labor and unre-
stricted immigration and favor

pulsory school law"

WEAK KIDNEYS MAKE
WEAK BODIES
Kidney Diseases Cause Half the Com
mon Aches and Ills of Ham
mond People.

AS one weak link weakens chain, so
weak kidneys weaken the whole body
and hasten the final breaking down.
Overwork, strains. colds and other
causes, injure the kidneys, and when
their activity is lessened the whole
body suffers from the excess of uric
poison circulated in the blood.
Aches and pains and languor and
urinary ills come, and there is an ever
increasing tendency towards diabetes
and fatal Bright's disease. There is no
real help for the sufferer except kid
ney help
Doan's Kidney Pills act directly on
the kidneys and cure every kidney i'll.
Hammond cures are the proof.
Mrs. c. Wise. of 407 Indiana avenue,
Hammond, Ind, says: II was told by a
friend that Doan's Kidney Pills were a
fine remedy for kidney trouble and on
her suggestion, I purchased a box at
Bicknell & Co.'S drug store. I began
taking them as directed and in a couple
of days could see that l was being
benefited. The pain in my back was
less severe, the kidneys were more reg
ular in action and felt much stronger.
After a weeks use the pain had entirely
disappeared from my back and this en-
couraged me. I continued untid en-

JOE LONGS COLTS
ARE WALLOPED.
Hammond Base Ball Team Wins First
Match of Season at Harrison
Park.

The new Hammond base ball team
was given a practice game at Harrison
park yesterday when they met the Joe
Long Colts The game was a walkaway
for the older and more experienced
players and the score was Is to T.
There was a large crowd in attend
ance and although the game was a
poor one as an exhibition of semi
professional ball it served to demon
strate the class of the team which is to
represent Hammond this year.
There is no question that Hammond's
representative in the national game
this year will be up to the old standard
and will be credit to the city.

along the right of way in back of the
depot and adds greatly to the neat APP
pearanee of the building as a whole.
The structure is rooted with slate
and the projecting shelters are sup
ported with iron pillars. In the wait
ing rooms for both men and women are
clean, commodious and sanitary lava
toris which are in striking contrast to
the filthy ones which are provided by
the other railroads of the city. They
are to be provided with towels and
soap and in themselves will be a boon
to the travelling public.

A baggage room has been provided
which will be in charge of Edward Cox
woh will look after the wants of the
patrons of the road in a manner equal
to that in vogue in the larger cities.
Perhaps the happiest man in Ham
mond is Agent H. w. Duffner. He
came to Hammond eighteen years ago
as an operator. Later on he succeeded
Charles Jordan as agent of the road
and has since been in charge of the
Hammond office. He was one of the
occupants of the little freight car
which did sevice as a depot in those
days and was sufficient to accommodate
all of the passengers who cared to
take the local to Chicago or valpa-
raise. The other trains did not stop
here then.
Has Been Efficient Servant.
During ALI of the years which in
tervened, Duffner has been an efficient
public servant as well as a trusted en-
ploye of the railroad and now that he
has moved into his new business home
he is receiving the hearty congratula-
tions of his friends.

HEARD IN THE CHURCHES
Hammond Church Goers
Are Edited by Fine
Sermons.

The freedom of man as found in
Christianity was the theme of the ser
mon delivered by the Rev. J. Eugene
Snook of the Presbyterian church, yes
tcrday morning at the regular Sunday
morning services
Rev. Shook, after he told his audi
ence that all people are endowed with
a free will but that the Christian free
dom lies in the life which is lead ac-
cordlng to the lines laid down by Chris
t.anity.
"A true love for God" said Rev.
Shook. will guide a man so, that his
desires for freedom. which he knows he
can ejoy, will at all times be in accord
ance with the principles of Christiani-
ty."
Quoting the St. John 1s verses. Is to
20, the Rev. Theodore Claus in his
sermon in the morning at St ,Paul's
German Lutheran church, rehearsed the
trials and trfbulations of the apostles
as they had been foretold by Christ
himself and pointing to the joy and
glory that came to the apostles for
their steadfastness. Rev. Claus en-
countered his audience to hear like
they, their trials and tribulations in
the same spirit in which the apostles
did and that therefore they would be
entitled to the same measure of glory
with which the apostles Were crowned
At the Christian Church.
| Facts and theories about Christian
fly was the sermon subject at the
Christian church last night by the
pastor. Rev. c. ]. Sharp. The speakers
in numerous examples outlined the diff
ferences between facts and theories and
held the theories responsible. for so
much division about the principles of
Christianity. The facts as he outlined
them were based on the love of God
for mankind who sacrificed his own son
as the Sayious. and continuing in his
arguments said there was no further
need to seek for theories
The Rev. w. F. Switzer of the First
Methodist church had a sermon for the
business men of Hammond. His subject
The conversion of business man, Fac
! chaeus" was the example. The speaker
urged his hearers to be like the ner-
] chant of the old testament who. despite
Fae fact that he was prosperous, realized
that there is more in life than merely
making money and consequently sought
/ out Christ to learn what he was teach

eursory talk on the Lords Supper
was giN n yesterday afternoon by the
Rev. F. III. Elliott of the Pine Street
church. Communion services were held
at the church upon which occasion Rev.
Elliott made his talk
At the Episcopal Church.
Rev. Charles A. Smith of the Episco-
pal church comparing the church year
with the time shortly after the Resur-
rection Of Christ, in his sermon yester-
day morning said that the principle
/ topic then now in the church year
was the resurrection; that the resur-
rection is one of the truths on which
christianity is founded and that it is
as vital today as it was then.
The speaker urged his listeners to
adhere to this fundamental truth des-
pite alleged discoveries and researches
that have been made and are being
made in the realms of science to ex-
plain the resurrection on a scientific
theory.
