number of new subscribers secured,
and we have every reason to believe
that the $35 Diamond Ring will keep
the subscription department of the
Plain Dealer decidedly busy.
Now is the time for every candidate
to go over the field previously covered
in the last contest for new subscribers.
Some who were not tready just then may
be ready now. Those who were not in
terested then, may be now. That per-
son who told you no then, may have
changed his opinion and give you a
subscription now.
Remember it is hustle and not a
lucky chance that will win you this ele-
giant ring, and 300 votes on every new
subscriber added will help nightly in
capturing the big prize-t Piano. But
don't forget the renewals and back
subscriptions in the hustle for new
names. Everything helps win the big
prize and back subscription is almost
as good as new one for that purpose
and two renewals will equal new one.
The ring has been ordered through
P. A. Clemmer and will be on exhi-
bition in his jewelry window as soon as
it arrives. Mr.. Clemmer guarantees
US that the diamond in this ring will
be the biggest and best that the money
will buy, and that the ring and setting
will be first class and up-to-date in
every respect.

Pleasant Lodge Event.

The local court of the c. o. F. had a
busy day on Sunday last, the occasion
being the visit to Cresco of degree
team of the order, headed by State
Chief Ranger o. Conner, of New Hamp-
ton, for the purpose of comforting the
second degree on class of about 20,
most of whom are comparatively
recent additions to the order. Those
composing the team, in addition to the
Chief Ranger, were, Maurice Condor,
A. Kubish, S. T.Whalen, John Meyers,
P. j. McGrane and Mr.. Jeffords.
In the morning the entire member
ship of the order attended mass at St.
Joseph's church. In the afternoon the
degree work was performed. In the
evening the order attended vespers and
benediction at the Church of the AS
sumption and banquet was served ir
the w. o. w. hall. D. A. Lyons offic-
lated as toast master and responses
were made by Messrs. O'Connor and
Condor, Rev. Loosebrock and others.
This order is making a rapid growth
in Cresco, the local camp now having
a membership of about rs, as against
20 less than two years ago.

A Serious Accident.

James Linderman was very seriously
injured by blast on the sewer exca-
vation work on Elm street last Friday.
A charge of dynamite was exploded to
blow out ledge of rock in hole in
about the center of the streets at the
intersection of Elm and Peck streets
and Linderman had taken refuge back
of tree east of the M. E. church and
about rs feet distant from the hole.
The charge threw up considerable rock
and one piece weighing a little over
four pounds was thrown so high that it
came down from above in almost or
quite a straight line, hitting Linder-
man on the top of the head. 1t re-
bounded and struck Squire Towne, who
was standing beside Linderman, on
his shoulder, bruising it badly.
Medical aid was summoned and Drs.
Hess and Roome discovered that the
skull was cracked, and that Linderman
was in a serious condition. After a
temporary dressing of the wound, he
was taken to the hospital. Linderman
was conscious soon after the accident
and asked to be taken home, but it was
thought best to take him to the hospit-
al that he might receive attention
under the most favorable circumstances.
He is conscious most of the time and
seems quite improved this morning,
but the injury is so serious that some
time may elapse before his recovery
can be assured.
Mr.. Linderman has been resident
of Cresco only short time and is il
poor financial circumstances, with ,
family of several children to support.

THE TOTAL VOTE

Another contest period has ended and
the Ladies' Gold Watch has been won
by Gertrude Haubrick. Yesterday
morning Messrs. Tillson, Thomas and
Farnsworth counted the ballots cast on
back subscription money and we have
their signed statement that Gertrude
Haubrick received 5000 votes for the
Plain Dealer watch, being more than
any other one received"
Grace Patterson was second in this
contest and had she been so fortunate
as to have received all the votes
PROMISED her, the award of the
watch might have been different. Now,
we don't think that any one promises
any of the candidates and at the same
time intend to fail to make good that
promise, but they simply forget, and
the word "forget" in this contest may
spell disappointment to some little girl.
If you have promised to help some one
of the contestants, do it soon, for the
end of the contest is not far off and

your candidate needs it now, as every
one of the leaders are straining every
nerve and sparing no effort to
make as good a showing as possible at
every publication of the total vote.
Remember, it is votes that count-not
promises, and cash payments get the
votes.
Grace Patterson still leads on the
total vote, and the order of the contes-
tants stands as before with the eXcep-
tion that Gertrude Haubrick and Nancy
Frost exchange places. This is due
more to locality than effort, for the
former has been able to secure an ex-
traordinary large number of votes on
back subscriptions, while Miss Frost's
territory naturally restricts her in Sc
curing this class of subscription pay
ments. The other candidates all make
gains and are earnestly at work.

The reason that Chief Martin believed
that they ought to have been robbed
was the fact every night all of the

he police have no means whatever of
ascertaining whether or not there is
anyone in the station at the time.

been definitely determined upon for the
opening of the new bank on Seventh

per which Mr.. Knots was to start
also will not appear on the streets of

the litigation which is now pending
over the equipment of the old North

AS far as the bank is concerned, Mr..
Knots is ready to start any time that
he sees fit, for the building is now
practically complete and ready for the
installing of the fixtures. The store

practically completed and the firm will
be ready to move in as soon as the

Indiana Harbor, Ind, April 27.-
Mayor Lemuel barrow of Laporte Ind.
was in town Saturday inspecting the
Indiana Harbor street paving, especial

says there is a lot of paving to be done
in his city this spring and summer.
and the city has had the Westrumite

ly that he considered 1t we'll worth
while to look into the same and as
certain its merits, if it possess s any,
or its weakness where such exist.
The executive made many inquiries
regarding the pavement but did not
express himself as to the impression
he had gained from his various inter
views. The visit to the Harbor. it was
declared, was without Significance 9TH

question.

INTO
STRONG ARM
Of THELAW
Four Young Gary Fellows
Fail to Recognize Ser
geant Catey in Plain
Clothes, and Are Landed
in City Bastile.

Four young men, Andry Pryle, %
years old: Walter B. Moore. %; Edward
Foy "a, and Elmer Barrett. %, all liv-
ing at the Delaware hotel in Gary, got
themselves into serious trouble last
night when they tried to put one over
on Police Sergeant Catey
Last night about IL o'clock the four
young men, who had been drinking
considerably, were found near the Wa
bash tracks on Broadway. where they
were conducting themselves in dis
orderly manner Sergeant Catey, who
was in plain clothes, passed the men
a short time before and told them to
go to their homes Walking down
the street a short distance. the police
officer watched the quartet. who con-
tinued to use profane language and
insult people as they passed BY.
Sergeant Catey then walked back to
the men and told them if they did not
go home he would place them under
arrest. Edward Foy. who stands
feet 4 inches in height and has every
appearance of being young giant
told the sergeant to mind his own
business, or words to that effect. The
officer walked up to the man and just
as he did so Foy put his hand TO his
hip pocket as if he was going.t to draw
a revolver. But he didn't have time
even II he had had revolver. for Ser
geant Catey planted a blow between
Foys eyes that staged the would-bt
Hercules until he saw Thousand
stars. BY this time Officers Mulcahes
and Marquardt, who happened to b.
near at the time, appeared on tht
scene and the men were placed unde
arrest and brought to the police sta
ton. where they were booked on
charge Of disorderly conduct. Thei
trials will come up before Judge Fitz
gerald in the police court this morn
ing.
