The Lake county directory, the most
complete compilation of names and
addresses that has ever been made in
Lake county. is off the presses and
ready for distribution today.
Not only is it a directory but it is
the greatest compendium of informa-
tion that has ever been gotten together
in this county 1t is at once the most
complete and the most accurate source
of information that has ever been made
available TO the business men of the
region.
The towns included in the directory
are Hammond. Whiting, East Chicago,
Indiana Harbor, Gary. Crown Point,
Hobart. North township. Tolleston,
Calumet township. Hobart township.

Cedar Creek West Creek, and Eagle
Creek.
The directory is profusely illustrated
and is the best prospectus of Lake
county ever issued. The book is well
bound and has so many features that
are superior to the old directories that
they will probably all be thrown into
the discard as soon as the new direct
ory is circulated.

hearty cooperation that it was pos

Eleventh Hour Opposition Was Unavailing. VOTES WERE CAST FOR
 SANFORD AND cRENSHAW StolIenwerck Will Win by Vote of
 4to 1. Sanford Led Late Comers--sstoiIen- wsrck's Friends Claim That False Reports That He Was Pro-
 hibitionist Hurt Him.

Tn the special elecetion yesterday, the action of the Democratic Executive Committee fas ratified by the election of Frank stollenwerck, Jr.. by a hand some majority. as Montgomery coun- tvs representative in the State Legis- lature to succeed Hon. R. T. Goodwin, who resigned.
 As the city represents the guage of the county in political affairs, there | is no doubt as to the election of MT i lStoilenwerck according to the final returns, which will not all be In be- fore tomorrow night. Out of a total of eo6. cast in the city beats, Stolen Iwerck received 449. John w. A. San- iford, Jr., his nearest opponent, got 133. and c. F. Crenshaw. 2s. One vote was cast for Gen. John W. A. Sanford an Beat Three.
 The opposition to Mir. Stollenwerck came somewhat as a surprise, no inti- nation of the probability of an inde- pendent candidate having been made. Early at the polls. however. there was started the canvassing of the opposi- tion lieutenants. The cause of San- ford was the strongest of any of the eleventh hour candidate. but his start was late, and Stollenwercks majority was heavy.
 Sanford votes were heaviest Tn Beat 6, where he nosed 6tollenwerck out of the lead by four votes. getting 3S to the others s4.
 c. E, crsnshaw received votes in nearly every precinct, but the total number was insignificant In Precinct 2, Cloverdale box. he was strongest, be- ing only four votes behind Stolen werck, with 1e to his opponents 20.
 In the city all of Stollenwerck's op- position was evident None of the country heats,so far as is known, cast a vote against the regular nominee. Three beats outside of the city, all that have been received so far were solid for him. The vote for him was heavy in the big city beats.
 The election is, in a way. unprece- dent. Not until the day of election was there a breath of pending opposition, and stolIenwerck evidently had a clear field Never before has 1t been re- corded that a candidate. two candi- dates in fact. entered the lists so late In the battle.
 The determination of the candidates. evidently. found its being Friday night Prohibition agitation found tis way into the conflict, and one of the rumors urged against Stollenwerck by his be- dated opponents was the claim that he represented the prohibition faction. or the Law and Order League. This was quickly denied by the friends who had gotten him in the race and who worked for him as being for local option.
 The opposition, late as 1t was in ma turing, Is responsible for the large vote. For though s06 Is not. by far, a fair representation of Montgomery. it stands for more votes than. 1t was at first thought. would be polledi The op- position brought the necessary in- gredient of excitement for interest in the race. Althouhg local option lead CTS vouched for MT. Stollenwerck. as not being a prohibitionist early rumors affected his vote.
 The vote as boiled by precincts. was:

 Frankfort, Ky. June 19--Reviewing three judgments involving large taxa ton brought on behalf of the Common wealth against the Southern Pacific Company which has its home office at Behrment. a suburb of Louisville, the Court of Appeals today reversed the judgment of the Jefferson County Court (Louisville) in one case, affirmed that court in another and reversed the Franklin County Court in the third.

 President.

Greenville, June 1s.-tspeciaL) )--The annual cinference of the Alabama Ep- worth League closed here last night, after one of the most pleasant and profitable meetings of its history. The past year has been of great good to the League, and all of the chapters had encouraging reports of their prog ress. The meeting was beneficial in many ways to all who had the pleas ure of being here as there were some fine speakers on the program, and they were most eagerly listened to. The peopde who had the pleasure of having the delegates were delighted with them and the conference has most cordial invitation to meet here again.
 The conference was called to order at :os yesterday afternoon and after some devotional moments, Rev. J. D. Hartzog of Mobile addressed 1t on some Hopeful Work Among the Hope less Classes" His address showed careful thought and was most inter- esting. The relations of the orphan age to the Leaguers was then taken up. The next half hour was devoted to group meetings. after which the cap- met had It's first meeting.
 Last nights meeting consisted of an address by pr. W. N. Ainsworth on "Power." Before the address the Com mittee on Nominations made several changes in the cabinet put before the League at the morning session, and they are these: The name of J. l.. Branna was withdrawn as President, and that of G. A. Grant of Montgom- cry substituted; the name of MT. Grant was withdrawn as First Vice-Presdent. and that of A. Abrams of Greensboro substituted; the name of Mir Abrams as Secretary was withdrawn and that of Miss Annie Mae Slaughter of Mo- bile was substituted. The names as last put before the League were ap- proved. The address on Power" by Dr. Ainsworth was truly the best, saved till last, as 1t was in every way the most deeply interesting and thor oughly enjoyed address made.
 The meeting in the afternoon was ad- iourned, about 5 o'clock, and the con- ference repaired to the park in front of the church and partook of . pink tea. For about an hour the lawns were dotted with laughing and happy groups.
 Most of the delegates left early this morning on the first trains going north and south. after many a goodbye to old and new friends and many wishes to see each other next year.

Losing Its Mission of Saving Souls,
 Says Minister.


 New York. June 1S..-During the ses- sion of the Grand Council of the Pan Presbyterian Alliance at the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church today, the Rev. A. F. Forrest of Glasgow, made the statement that the Salvation Army was losing It's mission of saving souls.
 Mfr. Forrest read paper entitled. ''The Down Town Church." in which he described the tendency of the churches in the business districts of the large cities to move into the resi- dential sections for the lack of larger congregations.
 Large audiences" he said, 'are not necessarily a sign of vigorous life of a church, and the efforts to attract them by various means often lead away from the real aim of the gospel. We see this best t-tn the Salvation Army, which, through the expansion to econ omic fields. has lost its mission of sav- ing souls."
 Several ministers immediately took exception to MT. Forests statement and defended the work of the Salvation Army.

 Keeper Cleared of Murder.
 Amsterdam, N. r., June 1S.-Frank Wenatto, a wealthy Amsterdam Ital- ian saloon keeper, who has been on trial at Fonda for the past four weeks for being accessory before the fact to the murder of William E. Macla- chlan of Cranes Hollow in July, 1907, was today acquitted by jury which handed up one of the most remarkable verdicts ever renoered in a homicide case. The document reads:
 'while in our minds and opinion, we as men, regard the defendant as guilty, yet after considering our oaths as tu- TOTS and carefully considering the ev- idence as placed before us, we cannot find sufficient evidence to convict, and therefore render verdict of not guilty"
 The jury was roundly scored by Jus tice Spencer. who declared that they apparently had failed to give full at- tention to the case, and in conclusion he ordered the clerk to remove their names from the list of available jurors for further service.
