BY WORTHY FOEMEN
Hammond Indoor Team
Loses to Asmussons to
Tune of 6 to IL.

The Hammond indoor baseball team
was defeated by the Asmussons of Chi
cago, at the gymnasium of the club last
Saturday night, by the score of Il to 8.
The game was a great one from start
to finish and the Hammond team made
a good showing. The locals were able
to get four hits off the pitcher of the
visiting aggregation.
When it is remembered that the As
mussons are in a class with the Spauld-
ings, which is said to be the best indooy
baseball team in Chicago, the showing
Of the Hammond boys was creditable.
There was a fine crowd in attend
ance at the game, and the informal
dancing party after the game was en-
joyed by all.

The mysterious case in which an un-

the Indiana Steel company's bridge over
the Grand Calumet river, is still un-
solved and the victim is still unidenti-
fed. Undertaken c. p. Jones buried the
man yesterday in potters field. and it
is likely that the man never will be

the man met with an accident. 1t is
probable that he had been drinking.

Ed BLECKE MIGHTY
HUNTER" OF ST. JOHN
Nails Skin of Only Fox"
of Region to Barn
Door.
CAPTURED BY Willy PLOT
Gun Now Loaded for Coyote Of
Which Two Specimens Have
Been Seen to Prowl.

ST. John. Ind. Dec. 14.-Edward
Blecke, living southeast Of ST. John, is
decidedly the king of hunters just now
for this region. He has nailed the skin
of a fine fox to his barn door, having
shot the animal last Wednesday.
Those who know the difficulty of
finding Mr.. Reynard asleep appreci-
ate Mr.. Blecke's feat especially. when
it is remembered that this was the
best hunted fox for many miles around.
He was the only known fox in the
neighborhood, and Mr. BIecke takes
considerable pride in having secured
his skin
NOW Looking fer Coyotes.
After having followed him time and
again Mr.. Blecke gained sight Of him
as he sat on a hillside The hunter
made a large detour, so as 10 keep out
of the animals wind and also that he
might come upon him from the rear.
He succeeded in this, although he had
TO remain at quite a distance. After
firing at the fox for the first time he
saw him pump into the air. raising him
self about eight feet above the ground.
He kicked up the snow and the powder
smoke caused him to disappear tenn
porarily. Mr.. Blecke thought he had
killed him. but was surprised TO see.
after the snow and smoke had settled
that the sly old fellow was sneaking off
around the hill. He leveled his gun
gun once more at him and this time
killed him. He found him to be a
dandy"
Mr.. Blecke is now looking for two
coyotes which are said to be in the
neighborhood of Cedar Lake.

NAB COLLECTION BOX
(speclal to THE T1MEs. )

Whiting, Ind. Dec. 13.-Sanctimon-
ious thieves got busy on a sanctimon-
ious day and last evening about 5
o'clock gained entrance to the Sunday
school department of the Congrega-
tional church and. after turning things
topsy turvy robbed the collection box,
containing about s5, all in small
change. and made their es cape.
The theft was discovered last even
ing and it was shown that the parties
had gained entrance through a window.
1t is thought that the affair must have
been the work of boys, but the police
are working on the case and do not
think they will have a hard time run
ming down the guilty ones.

MUST PAY THEIR TAX
Many Delinquent Owners Of
Dogs Confess
Judgment.

A great many of those who have
been made defendants in the cases in
which Township Trustee John c. Beck
er is seeking to recover dog taxes, have
come In and confessed judgment.
1t is said that the majority of these
owners of dogs have mongrels that
they did not think were worth the tax.
They are compelled to pay it neverthe-
less and will be compelled to pay it in
the future unless they get rid Of their
dogs.
The suits revealed the fact that there
are great many very poor people in
the city who are finding it very diff
cult to raise the money to pay the
Judgment and costs.

Election Commissioners T. w. Engle-

in the contest of Cothery VS.. Moose.
The recount was in secret, except for
the presence. of County Clerk Short
ridge, the contestants and two voters
on each side. The commissioners will
probably report that they are unable
to make a recount of anything but the
protested ballots, owing to the fact that
the good ballots were burned
1t is understood that the burning OF
the good ballots is to be reported to
Judge McMahan. and it is possible that
the grand jury may be called to take
action against those who We're respon-

SMALL CHANGE FOR
DRY LAKE COUNTY
Rev. Hicks Believes State
Wide Prohibition Needed
for This Condition.
TALKS BEFORE SMALL CROWD
Anti-Saloon Workers Heard By Less
y Than 100 Persons-Bad
Weather to Blame.

That the Antl-Saloon League would
be unsuccessful in a contest IN Lake
county is the opinion of Rev. George E.
Hicks, superintendent of the South
Bend district.
Rev. Hicks was in Hammond yester-
day to speak in a general way on the
work of the ti-Saloon League. and
repeated this morning to The TIMES
that he did not come to wage war on
Lake county saloons particularly. He
said this morning that he believed that
Lake county would not become dry un-
less statewide prohibition is adopted.
By that he did not mean, however. that
Lake county did not have some very
earnest supporters of the cause. This
was proven by the collection that was
taken up at the two churches where he
spoke.

had Weather Interferes.

Bad weather Is given as the cause for
a decidedly small attendance yester-
day. Less than hundred people heard
the anti-saloon workers by actual
count, there having been thirty-two in
the audience at the Presbyterian church
in the morning and fifty at the Metho-
dist church in the evening. These
eighty-two people. however, contri-
buted, in round numbers S160 to the
cause.
While this was Mr.. Hicks first visit
to Hammond, it was not his first visit
in Lake county by any means. he hav-
ing been in the county a number of
times before to speak at Crown Point.

INSURANCE LONG IN FORCE
First introduced When Sea Voyages
Were Accompanied by Many
PeriIs.

The practice of insuring originated
from marine insurance, for merchants
sending goods by sea in early times
usually accompanied the ship them
selves, and were liable to capture by
Moorish or Turkish pirates. With a
view to providing the necessary ran
som to secure their release 1t became
customary before embarking to pay
an agreed premium to certain indivi-
duals called underwriters who were
willing to guarantee payment of the
ransom in the event of the merchant
being captured. From this beginning
the practice was gradually extended
to insuring the lives, first of mariners
and then of other persons.
In 1874 Queen Elizabeth granted a
patent to Richard Chandler under
which he established Chamber of
insurance In London with the object
OF regulating all contracts of insur-
ance, but this Chamber, with prob
ably all its records. was destroyed by
the great fire of 1866. The earliest
recorded life policy was issued ia June
IL, 1888, and provided that if a Ger.
tain William GIBBONS, shall die with
IN II months the underwriters would
pay 1888 6s. 3d., the premium being
at the rate of per cent.

BEAUTIFUL WOMEN
Bad Stomach Causes Unslahtiy Com
Observation-Disclosures G. Co.
Have Remedy.

Bad stomachs mean bad blood; bad
blood means sallow, unattractive skin.
Why? The stomach in healthy con-
dition separates the nutritious matter
from the food and gives it to tie
blood to supply the entire body with
nourishment
If the stomach is not in healthy
condition it does not separate from
the food the nutritious matter and 1t
passes off with the waste.
Thus tle blood is impoverished and
has not sufficient nourishment to sup
ply the muscles, skin and body gen
orally.
If you have belching of gas, dis
tress after eating, nausea, biliousness,
nervousness or foul breath, then your
stomach is wrong and you want the
best prescription for stomach troubles
the world has ever known.
You want Mona tablets. tae great
stomach remedy which Wilkinson &
Company guarantees to cure indiges-
ton, no matter of how long standing,
or money back.
Relieves stomach distress at once.
Mona is sold by leading druggists
everywhere and in Keokuk by Will
kinson & Co. for so cents a large box.

Elliott,s snike Buck

Although deer have been fairly plen-
tiful this year, many parties have
trekked miles back into the hills and
have returned to civilization with moth
ing more than a pleasant memory to
reward them for the hunt. Not so with
John B. Elliott. Mr.. Elliott, while
crossing Eaton's canyon this week
came upon deer tracks which he be-
lieved to be those of a large buck. The
sportsman carried nothing more deadly
than a 22-caliber rifle, but started after
the animal in the hope that a shot at
close range would bag the venison.
Mr.. Elliott had followed the deer but a
short distance when he heard the ami
NAL crashing through the brush. Ahead
of the spot where the deer was making
his way through the manzanitas and
buckthorn the hunter saw an open
space, and waited for the buck to put
in an appearance. If Mr.. Elliott had
known just what course the deer would
take he could not have figured the
proposition out with greater accuracy.
The buck, a fat spike, appeared in the
opening and was promptly shot by Mr..
Elliott. The first ball broke the deer's
back, while second secured the first
head of the season for the lucky hunter.

BELIEVE EXECUTIVE WILL
STOP FIGHTS IN NEW YORK
Battle st Fairmont A. C. Creates
CONSERVATION Among Fol-
lowers of Game

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-THE aban-
donment of the fight between Stanley
Ketchel and Sam Langford has Gre
ated CONSERVATION among the many
thousands of fight followers in New
York state and the scores of clubs
who have been producing well at
tended matches. 1t is now believed
that, If he so desires, Governor Hughes
is in a position to put an end to the
sport entirely. The Fairmont Athletic
club, which has scheduled the Ketchel-
Langford bout is said to be perfectly
limits as such an organization could
be, and it is feared that if such a
club cannot produce fight of any i'm
portance, then no other can.
The most bitterly disappointed man
over the stopping of the fight Is Stan
ley Ketchel himself He said he was
so anxious to meet and whip Lang
ford that he would waive any possible
fee and would fight for nothing. But
his manager, Willus Britt, vetoed this.
Ketchel and Langford will leave for
the west in a day or two, where
Ketchel will start hard training for
the fight with Jack Johnson.
81 would have whipped Langford
easily" said Ketchel, "and l am sorely
disappointed, because we had hard
time bringing Langford to terms. I
wanted to give him a good beating be-
fore I whipped Johnson, so that with
Johnson, would have cleaned up the
entire circuit of negro fighters"
