fore Judge Harry B. Tuthin of the su-
perior court at Valparaiso.
This means that the case will soon
be terminated. possibly by Christmas
but more likely the early part of next
week, this depending on how long the
lawyers take to sum up the evidence
and argue the case. Today the court
will be occupied in hearing the EVIL
dence in rebuttal which will be intro
duced by the drys.
This Will give Thursday and Friday
for the arguing of the case. and as
over 200 witnesses have testified in the
case this may not be sufficient time
for the four leading lawyers to COM
plete the summing of the evidence. 1t
is certain, however, that the case will
be left in the hands of Judge TuthilI
until the first of next week
At the close Of the trial of this ia
nous case the saloonmen are more con-
fident than ever that they have proven

claim that the method of securing the
signers to a great extent was under
false pretense. which has been creep
ing into the evidence and will have
some. influence in deciding the case.

DAN DUMONO HAS
MARRIED AGAIN

Lowell, Ind, Dec ga Rensselaer,
paper has the following interesting
story of well-known Lowell family.
Thirty eigh years ago Daniel W.
Drummond became resident Of Walk
err township. Jasper county. bringing
a wife and two children. son and
daughter, from Lowell, Ind. The wife
was formerly Miss Dickson, and of a
well-to-do family. Hard times seem
to have created stormy times for Dan,
and after a few years of unpleasant
family relations he disappeared, leav-
ing his entire family. Perhaps fifteen
years or more elapsed before he was
heard of. He had then secured di-
vorce from Wife No. and had mar
ried a lady of southern birth who
claimed to be an authoress of consid-
cradle means.
AT this time Dan became a Chris
tan preacher and travelled a great deal
and made his home in various states
from Ohio to California. After about
ten or twelve years Of married life
wife No. 2 died. Dan then went over
into Canada where he took up home
stead and secured a widow of consid-
cradle wealth for wife No. 8.
This wife died about eighteen
months ago. and Dan, having already
sold his homestead for $4,000, came
back to the states.
During the early fall he visited his

Solo, Bethlehem" Miss Mabel Mickey.
These ladies are among the very first
of East Chicago's musical talent and
they thoroughly justified their reputa-
ton
In part two the work of the quartet
certainly gave evidence of q high order
of musical Interpretation. Each one a
soloist of marked ability. their re-
spective parts gave opportunity for an
expires sion that would have secured
favor in an audience of highly cul-
tured musical critics. Our city is for
tunate in having the privilege of such
musical talent in our very midst.
The chorus responded promptly and
expressively to the work of the leader
Mrs. Evans, who showed an unusually
high quality OF leadership. For an
organization of this kind they sup
ported the parts of the soloists most
admirably.
The spirit of the whole occasion was
fitting introduction to the sentiment
and pleasures of the week of Christ
mas.

East Chicago, Ind, Dec. 22.-Seldom
in the history of musical events in
East Chicago has there been rendered a
program equal to that given in the NJ.

The occasion was furnished by the
Methodist Choral society who, under
the direction of Mrs. F. L. Evans, gave

The society was assisted by the East

i. S. STEEL CO. OFFERS
ANOTHER MELON To employees

New York. Dec. 22.-The finance
committee of the United States Steel
corporation has voted to offer the en-
ployes of the corporation another op-
portunity OF subscribing to it's pre-
ferred stock at 125 a share.
In addition a bonus of 100000 in
common and preferred soon will be di-
vided among the employees.
Each employee will have the privilege
of taking his share of the melon in
common stock at 80 or in preferred
at 124, or a proportion of both.
This is the highest price at which
the preferred has been offered to the
employees since the company's profit
sharing plan went into effect in 1903.
The subscription price of the stock last

year was $40 share. Today it closed
on the stock market at 124H.
Since the profit sharing plan was in
stftuted the employees have subscribed
in all for $4,000 shares of common and
1913. 493 shares of preferred. for which
they have paid $17,475.o0o.
At present prices their investment
shows paper profit of 1895. 900.
The decision of the finance commit
tee Is of interest as rejecting the
company's attitude against the recent
declaration of war against the COM
pany by the American Federation of
Labor, which declared the Steel cor
poration its greatest enemy.

which will take place on Jan. s, at
which time the leading democrats OF
