SOME STORIES
AROUND TOWN

Roy Diuguid, of $500 Broadway.
captured a most peculiar bug last
night. 1t is fully two inches long
mas six long legs, and is covered by
a notified grey shell. hinged in
front, with it's head hung low, and
the two hard horns, one on the end
of the shell just above the nose and
the other at the hinged joint, giviDs
the bug more the appearance OF a
rhinoceros than of an insect. When
fighting, it pinches its prey between
the horns. 1 =
A most unusual event In plant life
in this latitude is the growth OF wa
ter hyacinth at present in Wallace
park lake. This plant is quite com
especially some years ago
in southern waters, notably in Flor
ida but is seldom seen except in
these semi-tropical regions. and how
II has become propagated in the wa
tiers of Wallace laks is mys-
terry. The water hyacinth at one
time occupied a great deal of the at
tention OF the United States govern
ment scientists, as the growth in the
st. John and some other southern
rivers was so heavy as to seriously
impede navigation. The experts after
some years of experiment finally
found a way TO check the growth and
the plant has of late years seldom
been heard of as a navigation obsta
Gle. II is a wonderful clarifier of the
water II inhabits and the tide lake
at the park is now so transparent
that one can see the bottom and the
numerous fish swimming about at al
most any place in it. The hyacinth
also bears beautiful flowers but it Is
doubtful that the season here Is
long enough to allow the blooms 10
develop. However, II is likely that
these plants will soon be cleared from
the park lake. as a much further de-
velopment will provee a detriment to
boating, and is also a deterrent to
bathers.

Whiting. Ind, April 20, 1909.
Editor THE TIMES,
Hammond. Ind,
Dear Sir:-I write to give expression
to my great Indignation at the unfair
way you are treating the blind tiger

closed. is especially irritating, but is
only one of a long series of attempts
on your part to bolster up a losing
cause by Misrepresentation I can
not understand your advocacy of the
saloon, unless your perso-al habits. Of
which I am unacquaintec. are the con-
trolling influences. You write as if
your brains were WOODY. As far as I
can determine by examining the ad-
vertising pages. the saloon gives your
paper little or no support. The gro
GERS, bakers, coal and coke men, real
estate dealers. wallpaper merchants
and other men in business of like char
acter who fill your columns with ad-
vertising. certainly have right to ex-
pect your opposition to an institution
that gathers in so much money that
ought TO go for the goods they have
for sale.
The above mentioned editorial would
lead one not acquainted with the facts
to believe that a blind tiger" never
did any business in a town or county
until it went dry" If you know any
thing about 1he situation you are
aware that Gary, for instance. has been
infested with blind tigers" from the
/ beginning of its existence. Why have
/ you waited until the township voted
\ dry to point them out? You say of
ficers of the law profess their inabil-
4 ity to cope with them. You know
very well why said officers do not dc
any coping. 1t will not be very long
before successors are elected who are
better copers. You desire the people
to ask themselves which they would
/ prefer. "a law-abiding, taxpaying sa
