Indiana Harbor, Ind Aug. 9.-The
trip taken by the city and county Of
fcials to view the improvements that
have been completed and are now in
progress in Indiana Harbor may be
productive of important results for the
Harbor. 1t is hoped that the outing
may be the means of interesting the
county officials in the necessity of two
new bridges, which the city hopes that
the county will take upon itself to
erect. These bridges are desired at the
15lst street crossing over the canal
and at Chicago avenue and the canal.
The subject was preached to the
county commissioners on the occasion
of the outing, and the places indicated
visited. and while the commissioners
did not commit themselves, they seem
ed favorably impressed with the fact
that the city and private enterprise
have done their full share toward pub
lie improvement. In that case 1t would
not be unreasonable to hope that the
county would shoulder a part of the
bridges in question.
The trip was an enjoyable one
throughout. What was at first plan
mel as a party of a dozen, was increas-
ed to sixteen. number of others who
had not originally intended to go, join
ing the party al the last minute The
officials met at the city hall in the
morning. and the first thing that wa:
done was to view the road that tn,
county is building at the south end O.
Forsyth avenue from 151st street IL

HIS WORD AGAINST
THAT OF A CLEAN man
Claims That He Saw the Reformer
Running Away From His Place at
Shortly Before Midnight and IN
mediately After Discovering the
Kerosene Soaked Paper.

A. A. Rodman one of the most eff
feCt1ve negro reformers in the city,
was arrested at o'clock by the Gary
police on a warrant charged with ar
son. The affidavit was sworn out by
the notorious Dave Johnson, who
claims that after discovering n fire in
his house he saw Rodman running
away.
Although Johnson claims to have two
others who will bear him out in the
fact that Rodman was seen to be leav-
ing his place just after the fire was
discovered. Rodman's friends assert
that the arrest was merely an attempt
to bluff and blackmail him into sub
mission.
There is no colored man of higher
reputation in the city than Alexander
Rodman, who has had much to do with
the driving out of the bad element from
the city and whose life and property
have been continually threatened be-
cause of his activity along these lines
ROdman Believed To BE Innocent.
Late last night Johnson claimed that
he discovered a fire under the rear
stars of his house and that as he went
out to investigate it he saw a mas

Two other men who happened to dis

also been secured to verify the state
ment.
1t is claimed that not only were pa
pers stuffed under the rear stairway
but that they We're soaked with kero
sene and that had not the blaze beer
discovered as soon as ii was the en-
tire building would have been de
stroyed. There is every indication
that an attempt was made to burr
down the Johnson place last night. bu
there is a great deal of question abou
the guilt of A. A. Rodman. The latter'i
friends point out other motives fol
other persons to have attempted (
burn this place down which look NOR
feasible.
When Rodman was arrested in hi
shack at 8 o'clock this morning h,
stoutly maintained his innocence, anC
claimed that he had not left his shacl
at Eleventh avenue and Broadway tina
evening. After he was taken to tn
police station he was able to give bon,
and was released pending his hearing
today or tomorrow.
Johnson and his witnesses about tn
notorious place claim that they fire
two shots at the fleeing man withou
bringing him to a halt. 1t is no
known whether the fire was extin
guished before or after they CAV

Hurt in Runaway.

DR.. f. d. Dewey figured in run
away yesterday which might have cost
him his life. but which fortunately.
owing to his presence of mind, resulted
only in a skinned ankle.
The doctor is having his buggy re-
paired, and is using only temporary
rig. When starting out yesterday,
about noon, he was anxious to make a
hurry up call so he made the horse
go pretty fast. While going at a good
pace the shaft of the buggy broke and
jabbed into the animal. The more the
driver would pull the lines the faster he
would go. When he came to oliver
street he turned down, which was about
the worst thing the horse could do,
for the new high school under construc-
ton has caused brick to be piled UP
for quite a distance and a greater part
of the thoroughfare to be blocked. The
doctor saw certain death staring him in
the face If that kept up very long, so,
getting upon the seat. he took one line
and headed the horse into the
telegraph pole and prepared to
jump just before it struck This he
did and received a skinned ankle, but
no injuries otherwise. The lines were
twisted around the post, but G. J. Bad

them undone, and when the broken
shaft was tied up the horse was al

DAY-DREAM A WASTE OF TIME
Precious Hours Lost to Those Who
Are Prone to Wait for the Mood
to Strike Them.

II you have a particular piece OF
work to do, get it done. Don't wait
for the mood to strike you.
Don't dream! There are more
precious hours wasted in day-dreams
than any OF us would care to think
about If we counted them.
The queer thing about day-dreams
is that so few of them ever amount to
ANYTHING. The dreamer is only semi.
conscious when building his air
castles, so as a rule they have no prac-
teal foundation.
While you are at work, keep your
mind on what you are doing, and do
not let 1t wander off to what you
would like to be doing. Only by keep
ing your mind on what you are doing
now can you bring 1t fresh and keen
to the things you like doing best when
the time for doing them comes. Think.
ing too much about even a great happi-
ness takes the ledge" of 1t.
The best time for day-dreams Is
after you have gone to bed.-New
York American.

No other medicine for woman's ills
has received such widespread and un-
qualified endorsement. No other med
icine we know of has such record
of cures of female ills as has Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
For more than 80 years it has been
curing female complaints such as
Inflammation liberation, local weak
nesses, fibroid tumors, Irregularities,
periodic pains, backache, indigestion
and nervous prostration, and it is
unequalled for carrying women safely
through the period of change of life.
