Whiting, Ind, July 8. James
Arundel Jr., aged years, of Sheri-
dan avenue was spending Saturday
evening with his mother at the home of
his grandmother. Mrs. Thomas Moylan,
of Center street. While the older peo-
pie were enjoying themselves in the
house, little James was out in the yard
playing around The Moylands have
in their possession a beautiful, large
dog. This dog is always tied. but the
little fellow, going into the dog yard,
attempted to take a bone away from
him, which he was chewing. The dog
was naturally angered, and took an aw-
full bite at his tormentor's ear.
The child ran screaming into the
house with the blood streaming from
his ear and excited the entire house
hold. James was taken to the office Of
DR. Doolittle, where the wound was
cautsrized, and It is hoped that nothing
serious will be the result

resulting from diphtheria-
The 2-months-oId child of Mrs. Itlow,
living at the corner of Eleventh ave-
nue. and Broadway, died on Saturday
morning. The funeral took place yes

The deaths from diphtheria occurred
in the home of Peter Tomashaw at 1918
Jefferson street, when two children
died as the result. Their ages are l
and years. About three weeks ago
the children were taken sick with the
measles. According to a local physi-
clans, pneumonia then developed, and
owing TO the lack Of proper care, the
two children were later stricken with
diphtheria. The house has been quar-
antined for the past week and every
effort has been made to prevent the

Although the day dawned cold and a

SOUTH SHORE
CUTS INTO
RECEIPTS
Interurban Gives Strong
Competition to the Steam
Roads; Latter Contem-
plate Elimination or Some
Suburban Trains.

It is said on good authority that the
passenger traffic business done by the
South Shore interurban line between
Gary, East Chicago, Indiana Harbor,
Hammond and Chicago, where an hour
~ schedule is in operation, has cut into
the receipts of the steam roads to such
an extent that they are contemplating
taking off of several of the suburban
trains in this region.
station on one of the railroads in
this region claimed that their receipts
for one month had fallen off $500 be-
cause of the competition of the electric
line They claim that If this condition
continues that several of the trains will
have to be taken off because of lack of
business.
The complaint of the steam roads
demonstrates plainly that the public
appreciates the frequent service of the
electric line and that they enjoy that
mode of travel. Not only have they al
most monopolized the business of these
cities, but they have worked up a new
field of patrons which the steam lines
have never appealed to.
Lake Shore Has Competition.
After the construction Of the network
OF electric lines over the country, such
as is now planned and in course OF
construction, it is believed that most
all of the interurban business will be
transferred from the steam to the cleo
trio roads.
The railroad which has been most
affected by the line is the Lake Shore
which heretofore has had by far the
best suburban service in the region. The
receipts of this road have consequently
been the most affected of any of the
steam roads 1t is said that they have
been considering taking off trains dur

there were only three minor injuries

TWENTY FOUR HOUR DANCERS
BATTLE WITH The POLICE

Indiana Harbor. July 6.-The Slavs of
Indiana Harbor turned out to honor IN
dependence day yesterday, by holding
a twenty-four hour dance
The event, which took place at the
Auditorium. started off with spirit and
gusto at IL a. m. and barring one
small incident it was social triumph.
1t had proceeded along the line on
which it was begun for two hours.
when it became the painful duty Of
the committee on arrangements to
throw out the orchestra. This might.
or might not be regarded as a damper,
according to the point Of view. In any
event. it was on with the dance i'm
mediately following the little inter
ruption. and the incident was closed
so far as the majority of the merry
makers were concerned.
1t Happened Thus.
Five hundred loyal Slavish patriots
of the land of their adoption had as
sembled at II o'clock at the Auditor
ium. A mixed brass and strong or
chestra had been hired from Chicago
for the occasion, and when they were
lined up there were eleven instru-
ments, all told. They had played from
IL o'clock until 1, when some of the
musicians tongues were perceptibly
hanging out. They played the Merry
| Widow waltz through without a break
and wiped the perspiration from their
brows. The dancers loosened their
strangle holds. but remained upon the
floor. They began to clap. Nothing
doing. They began to stamp their feet
| Nothing doing. Somebody yelled. GIVE
US some more OF the same dopew Still
nothing doing.
The arrangements committee walked
forward and asked the musicians how
about 1t.
