RURNHAM WILL
GET CHI. WATER
Village Board of Trustees
Will Open Bids at Even
ing Session.

Burnham, Ill. March 23.-Burnham is
to be supplied with water by Chicago.
At the regular meeting of the Chicago
city council an ordinance was passed by
common consent whereby the big city
is to furnish the village with water at
a rate of seven cents a gallon. The
ordinance was called up yesterday
evening by Alderman Bennett, chair
man of the finance committee. and be-
cause of the fact that there was no OPP
position to it. 1t was possible to pass it
last night instead of waiting for it IN
til next Monday evening, the time for
which it was set
The village board of trustees will
open bids this evening at its regular
session for the construction of a $4,000
pumping station which will be To-
ca ted on Howard avenue, eighty five
feet from the Chicago city limits.
Taxpayers Confer with City Officials.
1t will be remembered that some time
ago the appellate court reversed the
decision of-1he lower court. the latter
having held Chicago is compelled to
furnish the city with water under the
agreements of the sanitary district act.
The court of appeals made its ruling
on the fact that Burnham at the time
was not ready and in a position to use
the water which Chicago must furnish
Since then, however. water pipe has
been laid, and Burnham is about ready
to use lake water instead of open well
water. After the ruling of the appel
late court a numbe rof citizens and
others interested. principally G. NJ
Nichols, got busy with Mayor Busse and
Commissioner Hanberg. which resulted
! in the passage of the ordinance last
night.

CALLS HALT ON
THE SERIES

President B. B. Johnson Of the
American league yesterday called
halt on the exhibition games between
the Senators and Tigers at San An
tonic. Texas He wired President Ma
vim of the Detroiters and President
Noyes of the Washingtons to have the
series stopped at once.
These teams are breaking the league
rules by playing anti-season games,
said President Johnson. But 1 do not
blame the presidents. for it is the man
ayers who should have kept the teams
apart. Such games spoil the regular
championship season. 1t is not out of
the way for our teams to play spring
games with squads Of other leagues,
but it Is prohibited among themselves.
Such a thing has not happened be-
fore in our league as this series be-
tween Washington and Detroit since
1901.

SOMEBODY SW|PED
HER MONEY SHE SAYS
Little Things Have Been Missing for
a Long Time, Consequently She
Makes Investigation Parents
Take it as an Implication Upon
Their Hopefuls.

A large number of the parents of
schoI children at Garys little sister
town of Miller are wrought up over
the reported actions on the part of
a teacher in the public schools of that
place
The teacher is Miss Title Triebess,
an instructress in the intermediate
room in the Miller public schools. There
are thirty pupils in Miss Triebess' room
and they are as bright set OF ureh-
ems as one can find in the average
country school. But now, even the
pupils, who once loved their teacher
so we'll, have a feeling for her that is
hard to analyze. Parents of the school
children have held mass meetings at
their homes during the past few days
in an attempt to decide what action
should be taken, and it all came about
in this way:
For some time past certain articles,
such as pencils, erasers, money. ap-
pies etc, have been missing from Miss
Triebess' room. This occurred, it seems,
during the lunch hour, at noon. Most of
the children live some distance from
the school and do not go home for
their dinner As these certain articles
were 1OulAQ l1ASSAlSs 81 l4C oAOAS 6ONHy
every EFFORT was made to find the pu-
pill VINO was committing the petty
thefts. But he could not be located.
Last Thursday morning Miss Trie-
bess accidentally left her pocketbook
on her desk during the noon hour 1t
contained small amount of money.
Upon returning to the school after her
dinner. Miss rTiebess found her mon
ey was gone. Angered by the loss OF
the pocketbook. Miss Triebess decided
on instant action.
When school was called after the
noon recess she began a search about
the room. Into desks and school books
she pried and then she started on the
pupils. Their clothing and even the
young girls hair was gone through, but
but nothing was found. John Freder-
iekson, a boy larger than the rest OF
the pupils, was not searched. but
he is said to have been directly accused
before the whole school and charged
with taking the money. This was Wig
orously denied by the boy. who, al
though indignant. offered to let th'
teacher search him.
Frederickson went home to his pa
rents in the evening. as did the res
of the pupils and told the story of thu
afternoons proceedings. The story RAJ
the gauntlet of the town gossips, anC
it was soon the property Of the who'll
town. On Friday and Saturday meet
ings were held at the homes of parent
to decide what course should be takel
on the teacher, who should dare t
insult their children in this manner
The matter will be probably be takel
before the county superintendent, o
the next meeting of the township
teachers institute before the trustee
At the present time the citizens ar
consulting attorneys upon what cours
should be taken.

ARRESTED FOR FORGERY
Foreigner Cashes Money
Order Sent to Another
in Gary.

Frank Iskric was arrested in Gary
last evening at his shack. 500 Virginia
street, on charges of having forged a
United States money order. He ad-
mitted the forgery to Chief Martin
who has notified the postal authorities
into whose custody he will be given.
According to Iskric's story, he went
to the postoffice several months ago
to inquire for his own mail and by
mistake a letter addressed to Marco
Like containing a money order for
SO was given him. He promptly signed
the later's name to it and cashed it.
The real owner, having waited long
time for the money order. made in
quiries as to the Whereabouts of the
order and was informed that it had
been sent him. Then the investigation
followed which resulted in the arrest OF

DO THE RAILROADS HELP?

We hear great deal from rail
road men and their friends about
what building new railroad mileage
does for the country through which
it passes. Not so often are We sup
piled with concrete figures to prove
just how much the help amounts to.
But in Texas we have numerous
examples. Take for instance, the
town of Hamilton. Its cotton receipts
in 1907. before the railroad, We're
1000 bales. For 1908. after the rail
road came, they We're u 5000 bales
Down at Brady, in 1900, before
the railroad, they got $500 bales
and were quite proud of it. This
year. with the railroad, they have
handled something like $1,000 bales
and aren't through yet
1t would be pretty hard to CON
vince a citizen OF either Brady or
Hamilton that the railroads didn't
have something to do with this

or course the railroads hauled
things besides cotton. They hauled
farm implements to work the cotton
fields, they hauled dry goods to
clothe and groceries to feed the
workers in the fields The merchants
as well as the farmers, got their
share of the increased business.
In Hamiltou's case the increase OF
cotton sold in one year amounting
TO nearly 100000, is a concrete
