MARATHON RACE At
EAST CHICAGOFEB.2 q
Lake County Will Get a
Taste of New Popular
Sport.
At THE LEWIS SKATING RINK
Korler, Hobart Star, Says Place Is an
Excellent One for Training
Entries Now Open.
(snecial to THE T1MEsN

East Chicago, Ind, Feb. 1o.-Are you
read?
Get on your marks. Get set. Co! !
Lake county %sprinters. young and old.
and in fact anyone who has a good lot
of wind and q pair of rubber soled
shoes have al opportunity to try a real
Marathon. Lake county is to enter the
list of Observation-Disclosures cities and on
W~ashington's birthday-Feb. 22-the
Lewis rink will be in readiness for the
event.
Manager Lewis decided upon the ac-
ceptance of the novel entertainment
yesterday afternoon, after watching
Kohler. the Hobart star, run several
miles around the rink floor. Kohler
was highly pleased with the rink as
training quarters and is becoming more
and more confident that he will be able
to make good in the Riverview races
on Friday night. Kohler will no doubt
enter for the Lewis rink event on the
22nd and while he is somewhat above
the usual in running ability, there are
plenty of youngsters in Lake county
who can make good on the endurance
question, for Marathoning is due entire
ly to ability to judge the pace of the
opponent and ability to stick to It,"
The race at the Lewis rink, as now
proposed by Manager Lewis. will be
for sixteen miles, although the stretch
may be changed to include a twenty
five mile dash.
Entries Now Open.
Entries for the race may be made
either through THE TIMES or direct to
Manager Lewis. The only restriction
placed upon any runner is that he
must be an neutrality-suspicious. under
the rules of the A. A. u, which gov
ems all amateur athletic sports. An
effort will be made to secure entries
from Hammond. Whiting, Crown Point
and Gary and Manager Lewis is con-
fdent hat at least two entries should
be secured from each city. High school
students are to be made especially wei
come and as the date is near the open
ing of the spring training season, no
better start could be made by the
s%printers as an opener for the field
meet training campaigns.

since he became governor Friends Of
the governor say that he cannot punish
a man before a crime is committed,
and that after a prize fight has been
held. If any are held, no one seems to
be willing TO give any information
about it.
One question that is still unsettled
in the light of the governors declara-
ton. is that OF what constitutes a
prize fight. Mayor Bookwalter Of this
city said yesterday that the contests
which are held in this city are not
prize fights. but boxing contests. and
that there is no law to prohibit them.

BRICK BATS
ENDANGER LIVES
East Chicago Druggist May
Get Out an In
junction.
MRS. GOODFR|END INJURED
Sidney veaco, Who Occupies Old
Postofice Building, Seeking
Another Location.

East Chicago Ind, Feb. 10.-The dis
mantling of the old postofice building
has resulted in one injury, and on the
grounds that the falling of bricks about
his store annoys his customers. Sidney
Veaco, East C~hicago's popular young
druggist, may bring injunction pro-
ceedings against the owners of the
building The accident, while not seri-
Gus. might have been fatal, and while
not serious. might have been fatal, and
while her arm was not broken by the
blow, Mrs. Ans. Goodfriend of One
Hundred and Forty-Fifth street, is suf-
fering painful bruises. She was struck
on her arm by q brick falling from the
third floor of the building, a distance
of about fifty feet and it was by the
narrowest margain that she escaped a
fearful blow on the head. Mrs. Good
friend was emphatic in her ~denuncia-
ton of the contractors for not placing
ratings around the building and short
ly after her narrow escape large boards
were placed in front of the scaffold
work on Chicago avenue.
Looking for Another Site.
Sidney Veaco is still occupying his
former stand in the post-ofice build
inf. Although proceedings have been
filed against him in a Hammond justice
court demanding the surrender of the
property, Mr.. Veaco has employed COM
petent counsel and by securing changes
of venue and continuance has been
able to retain his location. He is per-
fectly willing to move, however, as
soon as he can get a good location, and
until he does move he does move, de-
clares that he does not propoes to have
the lives of his customers endangered
by falling brick-work. The filing of in
junction proceedings would ~undoubted-
Iy mean the delaying of building opera
ton for at least several weeks. The
addition in the rear of the building is
almost completed, a force of men work
ing every day in the erection of the
walls. The 1aborers have also demaged
the interior of the build to such an ex-
tent that it has been necessary for Mr..
Veaco TO brace up the ceilings and side
walls with large timbers. During storms
rain pour in through apertures made by
the contractors and Mr.. Veaco declares
that he will make the building owners
pay for every cent worth of goods dam
aged.

HOMEMADE QUININEt HAIR
TONIC

The high cost of a good quinine hair
tonic prevents thousands of men and
women from using such a preparation
daily on the hair. This has resulted in
the study and investigation of the SUBJ
ject by some bright men and women
who use quinine hair tonic regularly
but who do not care to pay for the ,ex-
pensive ready-made tones. They find.
that by simply mixing one ounce OF
Beta-Quinol with half pint of water
and half a pint of alcohol that they can
make more than a full pint of a quinine
hair tonic of better quality and more
beneficial to the hair than any of tne
widely advertised brands. A tonic made
as described here will help the hair to-
become beautiful, glossy, long and
abundant. 1t tends to prevent dandruf.
and falling hair and keep the scalp in a.
healthy condition. This homemade.
tonic is used by women who have most
beautiful hair and plenty of it, as well
as those whose hair and scalp are NOT
in perfect condition The Beta Quinol
and alcohol can be procured at any
drug store for Is cents or 80 cents and
they will make more and better HAIR
tonic than you could buy for 81 in a..
manufactured state.

Former Residents of This County
Found Western Town.
The town of Jireh, in Wyoming,
which was founded by colonists from
this county. Is thriving, according to
information received by the Times
Republican. Jireh is situated on a
plateau in the rain belt, and farming
has been carried on successfully for
twenty years by the pioneers of that
state. During the past season oats on
the sod went forty bushels per acre,
and the potatoes are said to have been
the finest ever seen by the former Mar
shall county colonists. Oats sell at
$50, and potatoes at $3.50 per swt.
There are seven Marshall county
families in the Jireh settlement. The
heads of these families are r. 8. Grant,
and George H. Grant. of Rhodes;
George Dalzell and T. G.. Coffin. from
the eastern part Of the county; P. L.
Ford, A. Ford, and Harry Haas, of Lee
Grand. T. S. Grant has been in the
west six years, George Dalzell for about
three years, and the others joined their
friends last summer.
