Prosperity Has Arrived.

Prosperity has arrived. accord
ing to a statement just issued by
the bureau of statistics of the de-
partment of commerce and labor.
During September the business
sof the country and the move
ment OF railway freight cars
reached proportions which ex-
celled those of the same month
last year.
These improved conditions
are most pronounced in the coal
and iron trades. The movement
of lumber also was somewhat
heavier. From Virginia and the
Carolinas the shipment OF lum-
Der increased Sc per cent over
September OF last year.
There was considerable
slump in the receipts of grain
and -four at the, four leading sea
ports, and the receipts of grain
at fifteen OF the principal interi-
or markets likewise were below
the aggregate for September,
1908. A similar condition is I'M
covered in the shipment OF
packing house products from
Chicago, the chief slump being
in canned meats, which show a
relative loss over the correspond
ing figures of 1908 of approx
mately As per cent.
The report shows that the
September total OF cars handled
was 1898 ,003, or almost 10 per
cent in excess of the correspond
ing month in last year.

PARALLEL DISCOVERIES.
DISCOVERIES Cook and Peary Not
the First to Wrangle-Some
Simultaneous Discoveries

lhere are numerous parallels
for simultaneous discovery of
great scientific principles. Oar
win and Alfred Russell Wallace
were practically coinc;dental in
their announcement OF the the
DRY OF evolution. but it was Oar
win that reaped the highest re-
wards of the worlds honors.
Fulton's name has been cele-
brtteh as the inventor of the
steamboat. but the discovery was
made simultaneously with that
OF John tevens. of New York,
who really antedated Fulton.
and steamed the Phoenix
which was completed the same
year that witnessed the building
OF the historic Clermont-by sea
o the Delaware.
If Fulton and LIVINGSTONE had
not had monopoly of the Hud-
son for steamboats, under the law
OF New York, it is more than
probable that Stevens and the
Phoenix would be honored in
stead OF the Clermont and Fulton
and it would now be a Hudson
Stevens celebration.
Samuel F. b. Morse is honor
ed as the discoverer of the cleo
trio telegraph, but a German,
Steinheil, had made revolution
airy progress in the same direc-
ton and demonstrated that the
earth may be used as part of a
telegraph cicurit. 2sMorse's sys-
tenn however, was adopted by the
Germans themselves and Stein
heil's discoveries went for
naught.
The simultaneous announce
ment OF the double discovery OF
the moth pole seems to complete
a remarkably interesting series of
historical and scientific parallels.

WARSAW MAN
IS DROWNED
LOSES LIFE IN CHAPMAN
LAKE LATE WEDNES-
DAY NIGHT.
Prominent Young Warsaw Cit
izen, Well Known in Ply
mouth browns.

Wallace Bash, of Warsaw,
was drowned in Chapman lake,
four miles west of Warsaw, at
eleven o'clock Wednesday night.
Well known in Plymouth, popu-
lar in the extreme, wealthy and
with everything that he could
wish OF material things of this
life, Basins life was suddenly
ended ednesday night.
With two companions, w. K.
Crist and Will Didell, both OF
Warsaw, Bash went to Chapman
lake Wednesday to do some fish
ing. The three men went out
in the lake which is small, about
the size of Winona lake, to set
trout line and suddenly discov-
cred the boat filling with water.
They had taken a leaky boat and
the water soon began coming IN
over the rear end. The boat was
turned toward the shore but it
was soon seen that they could
not reach it with the boat, and
Didell jumped out to Tighten the
load. Bias could not swim
stroke. Crist slowly worked the
boat 'shorewards, but when only
few feet from the line OF the
shore and in water barely SIX
feet deep, Bash suddenly sank
without word 1t is imagined
he was taken with cramps.
Crist OWNS a cottage at Chap
man lake, where the young men.
stopped when at the lake. 1t was
while Crist was rowing that the
boat ttg gan to hll wit,l water.
Bash got at the rear end and
Crist at the front and seeing that
.1e boat would not hold three,
when filled with water, Diedell
started for the Shore to get an
ther boat and rescue the others.
Both Crist and Didell called to
Bash several times and each time
re latter replied that he was
alright, getting along fine. BY
the time Didell reached the boat
with another one Bash was gone.
Neither OF the men knew just
wren he let go.
Both Crist and Didell were
exhausted from their efforts and
ould make no immediate search
or the body. but sent word to
N'i-sav f5r help a5 soon as pos
lie 1t was impossible to find
he body during the night, but a
syStenlatic dragging 81 that part
IF the lake where the drowning
occurred brought the body to
he surface about. ten o'clock on
Thursday morning.

Grief Caused Death.

Grief over the tragic death OF
her son Eugene, when he drown
ed in the St. Joseph river while
bathing, is assigned as the direct
cause of the death of Mrs. Jacob
B. Oeker, residing near Osceola.
The illness of Mrs. Ocker dated
from the time OF her sons drown
ne and constant brooding is held
as the cause.

WAS A JOLT
TO LIQUOR
SEEN BY REV. SHUMAKER
IN THE INDIANA ELEC-
TIONS.
Deplores Results in Evansville
and Terre Haute, But Rejoices
Over Fort Wayne.

Indianapolis, Nov. 4-Rev. F..
S. Shumaker, superintendent OF
the Indiana Anti-Saloon league,
had something to say today in
regard to the results of the mu-
nicipal elections in Indiana. The
elections, as a whole, furnished
good deal bf satisfaction TO
the anti-Saloon league.
Analysing the election returns
Mr.. Shumaker said:
The results of Tuesdays cleo
tons in many parts of the state
are very gratifying to friends OF
good government The victory
in Fort Wayne over the forces
led by Steve Fleming Is one OF
no small consequence.
Il think every one recognizes
that the brewers got black eye
here in Indianapolis. Personally
Mr.. Gauss is a fine man, but vot-
ers were afraid to trust him be
cause of backing given him by
the brewers. Never in the his
tory of Indianapolis have the cit
liens of the capital city elected a
better set OF councilmen and the
election OF Mr.. Collins as police
Judge is a distinct recognition OF
one whose fitness for the place
is all that could be desired.
I'm Marion and Kokomo the.
results were very gratifying.
"Of course we deplore the de-
feat of Mayor Nolan in Evans
vile and the fact that the brew
ers won a signal victory in Terre
Haute.
"Without designing to criticize
the Citizens independents league
OF Terre Haute, | believe that the
results there show that eTorts
set forth to secure the nornina-
ton of decent candidates in the
PRIMARIES are usually productive
OF more satisfactory results. The
citizens independent league
worked herodcally against great
odds and all credit is due the
members OF the league for the
strong campaign which they
made, but had the energies .
the law abiding citizens in Terre
Haute been aroused before the
primaries were held, as they
were afterward, one OF the old
parties undoubtedly would have
secured the nomination OF a
clean candidate who would have
been elected"

ever
The opening of Lassen's pavilion
really marks the opening of the resort,

Question That Bothers Tax
payers Is "Who Is to Com

To Be Done?"

AS a result OF the misunderstand-
ing between the members of the Lake
county council and the Hammond city
administration the people in the seat
ern portion of Hammond will be COM
PEELED to go Indefinitely without using
the Columbia avenue bridge. which has
been completed by the county for near
ly a year at a cost of $50, 900.
When the county council agreed to
the appropriation by which the build
ing of the Columbia avenue bridge was
made possible, it was with the under
standing that the city would build the
approaches.
They Did Their Part.
The members of the county council
did their part, and the people who live
In the vicinity of the bridge have been
looking forward to the opening Of traf-
fic, which it is expected will greatly
increase the value of property in the
neighborhood.
But now, according to county Off
eials, the opening of the bridge will be
indefinitely postponed because the
Hammond city administration refuses
to do its part. The property owners
near the bridge point out that they
will now have to wait until September.
when the county council meets again,
before they can even look for a settle
ment of the trouble and in the mean
time it is costing the county at the rate
of $1,000 a year for interest on the
investment that is of positively no use
TO the county on account of the lack
of approaches.
"Oh Lord, How LOngs"
Many of the property owners in the
neighborhood of this bridge who
worked to secure the appropriation.
are now saying, "Oh, Lord. how long2'
and any talks about administration
economy are being laughed at in the
face of this loss of $500 a year in in
terest, to say nothing of the fact that
the development of the neighborhood
is being retarded and the people who
have to walk around instead of going
the shorter way are ineonvenienced.
Members Of the board of public works
of Hammond, who were questioned re-
garding the matter today, say that the
delay in completing the bridge and its
approaches does not lie with the city,
but that Hammond stands ready to ap-
| propriate $500. according to law and
maintain the bridge when it is com
| pleted. The board understood that the
county council would take action last
Tuesday, and as far as it knows now
nothing may be done until next Sep
