Mississippi Valley Transportation Go.
 Active in the South.

Baton Rouge.-The Mississippi Val ley Transportation Co, with head quartrs at St. Louis has placed it's prospectus in the hands of Governor Sanders, and 1t is interesting to note what the company proposes to do in developing traffic on the Father, of Waters and all navigable trlbuta- rIes.
 The company will build docks cost ing $50,000 at Baton Rouge and Oth- CT points along the river for the con venience in handling immense freight orders.
 A representative of the company called attention to the fact that half the iron supply of the country is To- cated south of Mason and Dixons S Line, and that the development of immense coal beds yet untouched will make shipping heavy in the years to come. The immensity of the cot ton crop was mentioned, and the lum- Der industry is constantly growing in relation to the northern markets.

Washington, D. C.-The capture of Rama by forces of President Zelaya is reported in Managua. ac- cording to dispatches received at the state department. It is said also that the Zelayan army, ill beginning the action, violated the armistic with the Estrada forces.

 It is reasonably certain that Knox will not change his plans for the pun ishment of Zelaya and the reparation to be demanded for the execution of Groce and Cannon. It is probable that Senor Creel will propose @ successor to Zelaya, with the hope that he will be agreeable to the United States.

Educatinq Our Farmers.

The general acceptance Ill Afkan- sas of the value of practical educa- ton and demonstration in scientific farming and agricultural methods, is being evidenced in may ways.
 The four thousand farms upon which demonstration crops were grown in 1909 under the direction ot state Agent J. A. Evans of the Uni ted States Department of Agriculture, and his twenty-seven local agents, produced a yield of from 50 per cent to 100 per cent above adjacent crops of the same class.
 The contest attidaVitS of the Boys Corn Clubs showed that yield as high as 10S bushels of corn to the acre has been produced in 1909.
 The Farmers Institute work by the College of Agriculture, under direc- tion of Prof. Geo. A. Cole, is doing much to popularize specific agricul- tural training.
 The last Legislature passed an act providing that elementary agricul- ture and horticulture be added to the common school course of study in March, 1910, and also the appro7 priation of $160,000 for the estab- lishment of four agricultural schools.

HAMMOND DOGS ON
ANOTHER MAN HUNT
Daring Robbery at Monterey
Brings Call for Aid
From Hammond.

Messrs. Sumpher & Cummings of
the Calumet Detective agency received
word this morning to take the first
train for Monterey Ind, where the
hardware and clothing store of Barber
& Co. was robbed of nearly a wagon
load of goods.
The robbery was discovered early this
morning, and the Monterey police at
once roped off the space around the
store where the burglars worked. so
that the tracks of the robbers would
not be mutilated or covered up.
Strumpher and Cummings went to
Monterey on the Monon train, which
leaves this city at 1850, and at once
began their operation. 1t is believed
that. in view of the fact that the po-
lice took precautions to rope off the
store, the chances of following the rob
bels to their hiding place will be good.
This is one of the holdest robberies
that have ever occurred in the little
Indiana town, and the populace is very
much excited over the affair.

TO
SURVIVE
Meantime Paraphernalia Is
Turned to Wall to Await
Adjournment.

The professional gambling shops in
Gary have been closed up tighter than
a drum. The closing up OF these places
has not resulted from any particular
activity on the part of the city admin
is tration. but because. as one gambler
expressed it to a friend, You know the
grand jury will meet again on the 22d
of this month and we are laying low
until that time"
Several of the followers of the roul-
lette wheel were surprised some nights
ago when in the midst of the excite
ment and the clamor of the chips Chief
Martin walked into the places and or
dered all of the money separating
devices turned to the wall This order
was complied with Immediately, as all
Of them seemed to know the reason
why.
There is no one but who does not
expect to see the gambling parapher-
MALTA put back in service the latter
part of this month. It was believed
that the purpose of the prosecuting at
torney in adjourning the session of the
grand jury June 1 was to collect more
evidence against the gamblers for use
when they again meet later in the
month. and the gamblers did not pro-
pose to give them the opportunity.

TEACHERS WILL
Be OF THE ABLEST
Plans of Teachers for Spending Va
cations Announced, and Varied Are
Their Projects for Spending the
Time Until School Opens Up Again
Next Fall.

A six weeks course for a summer
high school is a possibility for Ham
mond if the plans now under consid-
Grafton materialize. 1t is to be a pri-
vate project of f. D. McElroy, princi-
pal of the Hammond high school, Wal
ter Alice. teacher in science and ply
sizes. and Miss Matilda Etchorn, teach
er in German. The promoters will not
know definitely what shape their plans
Will take until next week, but they
have had much encourag cement, for
there seems to be a demand for just
such a thing in Hammond now.
The three teachers who are consid-
ering this plan are counted among the
ablest of the high school corps, and
should they undertake the course they
will undoubtedly be successful.
The plans of the various memberg
of the high school faculty as to how
they will spend their summer vaca-
tion vary. most of them seeking to
connect some profitable work with their
vacations.
Supt. Mcdaniel Remains I'm Hammond.
Superintendent c. NJ. Mcdaniel will
remain in the harness all summer to
put in some hard licks in arranging
| the course of study for next fall. He
viii allow himself three days, how
! ever. next week, which time he will
spend at Wabash college during its
! commencement exercises, he being one
of the trustees of that institution.
In arranging the course for next
| year, Professor Mcdaniel will keep an
! eye to the needs of Hammond, being
| guided rather by its necessities than
by the plan laid down by the state
board OF education. The excellent re-
suits that superintendent Mcdaniel has
attained in Hammond is proof of the
past good courses but like an enter
prising superintendent. Mr.. Mcdaniel
| always sees room for Improvement to
meet the needs of the city.
Where the Others Put In the Summer.
Prof Clyde Alice, assistant teacher
in biology in the high school, will
spend the greater part of the sum.
mer in Chicago university to follow
his favorite study there.

high school, will attend some Indian
apolis business college during the sum-
mer months.
Miss Mary Ibach, assistant teacher
in German and English, will spend the

MISS REILLEY SELLS OUT

A change in ownership in which, es-
pecially the ladies of Hammond, are
interested went into effect this morn
ing when the millinery store of Miss
Kitty Reilley. on the second floor of
the Hammond building. was taken over
by Mrs. z. Van Der Weele. Failing
health on the part of Miss Reilley nee
essitated the change, which. it is hoped
will work out to the advantage of
both.
Miss Reilley left this morning for

Mrs Van Der Weele is well and fa-
vorably known to the patrons of the
store. she having been connected with
it for more than a year.
Since its establishment in the Ham

continually in popularity. and Mrs. Van
Der Weele will undoubtedly retain this
for her place.
Miss Jennie Sheffield who has been
in the store since its beginning and is
consequently experienced in all its
lines. will remain with Mrs. Van Der
