WHAT THE SEMINOLE LAND & IN
VESTSiENT COMPANY HAS DONE.

| What the Seminole Land 6: Invest
ment Company has done to promote the
building of St Cloud into a delightful
and attractive town, up-to-date in every
respect. is unprecedented in the history
Of real estate enterprises. No other
company has ever done anything like as
| much. 1t is the astOnishment of all
who are cognizant of the facts. and the
company has received the greatest
praise from them for its liberality and
| farseeing provision. The determined
| plan of the company has been to make
a model town in which the veterans and
| their wives shall have all the possible
comforts of life and be as free as posi-
! BILE from the troubles and hardships in
Meg upon wild lands. Let us enumer-
ate what the company has done, which
is exceptional in the establishment of
colonies. 1t has built as pretty little
hotel of 20 rooms as can be found in
the United States. The building is of
white brick, up-to-date in every way
and provided with all the comforts that
can be found in any hotel in the coun-
try 1t has dug a we'll, 912 feet deep,
10 provide the colony with the purest
water that could be found. It has es-
tabliShed a poWer-hOuSe, water-works,
an electric-lighting plant and an ice
plant. The water-woris will supply alb
solutely pure water to every person in
the colony; the electric-light plant is
not only a great convenience to every
one, but it gives the town a look of
brightness, cheer and absolute modern
ness, which puts it far ahead of any of
it's competitors The company has es-
tablished a bank and built for il
model establishment, equipped with all
the latest appliances. 1t is one of the
decided ornaments of the town. The
company secured from the School Com
missioners an appropriation of $4,000
for a school building to which the
company added another $4,000, and the
building, which will be a model one,
will be ready for occupancy Dec. /. A
neat building for the post Office was
erected. with hall above for the meet
ing of fraternal orders. Land and ma
terials for building a hall were given
the G. A. r., and other help constantly
furnished. Land was given all the diff
ferent churches for buildings.
This is only the beginning of what
the company has in view for the inn
provement of st. Cloud to the point of
being a model town, that will not have
its superior in attractiveness anywhere
In the world. In the company's plans
are long pier out into the lake, more
fine hotels, an automobile boulevard
and a number of fine residences to add
to the beauty of the town and attract
visitors from the North during the VIM
ter season. The company confidently
expects that st. Cloud will become the
most attractive Winter resort in Flori-
Grams. and their wives will go down
there every Winter to enjoy the con-
genial society of their comrades, but
that people generally will find more at
st. Cloud to attract them there during
the Winter than they can find any Place
e1ss in Florida No one is more SAN
guine of the brilliant success of the Col
ohy than the Seminole Land & Invest
msft Company and The National Trib-
uhe, and none will do more TO bring
about this success.

1t is said that the returns indicate
that Representatives Calderhead and
Scott. of Kansas, were really beaten by
Democrats. They each of them had
larger Republican votes than they had
in their previous canvasseS. but enough
Democrats were allowed to vote to beat
them. Naturally, Democrats, if allowed.
will always vote to break down the
strongest Republicans and get them out
of the way, SO as to make their own
victory easier.

whose contributions to the local pa
pers on his experiences in the civil war
were received with much favor, has
been induced to put them into a pamph-
let. which has been gotten out in ex-
1920 Pa, and as he followed the flag
of that splendid regiment bravely and
faithfully he had experiences of the
most interesting and exciting character
extending to AppomattoX. Comrade
Gearhart writes well. and his book is
a decided addition to the literature of
the war.

II is hard to say which political party
IS in the worst condition. The Repub-
Ican Party. Of course. shows the most
serious offense. since it has much to
lose where the Democrats have very
little. The news from all over the solid
South is particularly dishcartening to
the Democrats. In Texas, which has
been, in the language of the old Demo-
cratic stump speakers. rOck-ribbed and
mountain-bu the dissension in
the party passes insurgentism. 1t is
open secession, with an Astonishing
number of the leading Democrats in
bitter and active opposition to Senator
Bailey and the same ;lenouncing him.

where apparently one-half of the Dem
ocratic Party, including the strongest
and best men, are out in open revolt
against Governor Patterson, and will
vote for anybody rather than for him.

President Taft has definitely shelved

very sensibIy seen that the advocates Of
greater economy by looping off alleged
inefficient clerks have not known ex-
sctly what they We're talking about and
were unprepared to furnish exact in
formation. Therefore. nothing viii be
done until this information is furnished,
and Prof. S. w. Gilman, of the Uni
versity Of Wisconsin, who has devoted
much time to studying economies in
State and National Government. will be
sent to Washington to investigate mat
ters here. We can hope to have some
thing from him more definite and sat
isfying than the hot air which has been
too prevalent. In year or two we
shall have formulated a definite retire
ment plan, which will be probably based
upon the same lines as those which the
railroads have now in successful opera

citation. This committee consists of At
torneys William J. WINERY. d. ]. Mo-

There will be another meeting of the
Bar association next Monday at 10
o'clock. which will be attended by a
large number of the members of the
Lake County Bar association. 1t is un-
derstood that the revised constitution
will contain some drastic provisions
which will make it a serious offense
for an attorney to solicit business and
do some of the other things that are
considered unethical.
The desire of the attorneys who were
crescent Is TO give the court better sup
port. The Lake superior court is Sc
crowded with business that 1t is impos-
sible for 1t to look closely into all mat
ters that are referred to it.
1t is hoped that the standing of the
members of the association can be SO
raised that when a lawyer states to the
court that bond is good or states
the law on question that the court
will be able to rely on his honesty and
integrity and take his word for it.
IT Is said that over half of the at
torneys in North township were present
at the meeting this morning, and there
was goodly representation from other
parts of the county The sentiment
was strongly in favor of reform meas
ures.

FOR PAPER

pended publication, may be rehabilitat-
ed in the near future IL the plans now

that two South Bend foreigners are in
communication with Mayor Becker, who
Is said to have sunk about $1,000 in
the plant. their idea being to take hold
of the proposition and publish the pa
per again.
Creditors last Saturday threw the
concern into the hands of the hands of
a receiver and James frost was APP
pointed to act in that capacity Should
the South Bend men be in earnest all
settlements will In all probability be
made out OF court.
1t is generally admitted that the pa
per would be quite a political asset to
Mayor Becker, not only for his future
aspirations in Hammond, but through
out the whole Tenth district. That he
has realized the possibilities of an or
taken from the fact that he has sunk
nearly $1,000 into the venture and that
he is still willing to see it continue.

1t Is believed to- be the desire of Mr..
Cobe to divert all of the interurban
traffic which comes to Hammond (the
interurban gateway to .Chicago)
through this straight and shorter route.
from the Hammond short line This
would make Hegewfsch the interurban

company is compelled to stick to the
old route of many turns it will be i'm
possible to use the line for this. pur-
pose.

a mass meeting to consider this. mat
ter. and the meeting will be held at the

solidation OF these franchises, with the
understanding that the said CONSOLE

fore Jan. 1, 1910, and

placed on Green Bay avenue, and
Whereas, The said Ira M. Cobe now
refuses to carry out the spirit of said
agreement with the people of the
Eighth ward and construct said line to
Hegewisch as agreed on with the peo-
pie of the Eighth ward when this fran
chise was obtained, therefore
BE it resolved that the people of the
Eighth ward, in mass meeting assem-
bled in Hegewisch on Jan. 81, 1910. and

HIGHER PRICES REIGN IN

increase in the cost of food, as shown
by the above comparison.
Too Many Consumers.
The reason that is generally given
for the increase is that there are so
per cent Of the nonproducers of food
stuffs in the cities and 40 per cent of
the producers of foodstuffs in the coun
try districts at the present time, while
a few years back there was so per cent
of the producers of foods tufts in the
country and only 40 per cent of the
population consuming it in the cities.
The trusts also have played their
part in the general increase in the cost
of living. The cost of ice, for instance.
was considerable lower when there
there were several small ice harvest +
ers at work. Now the Knickerbocker
Ice company has everything its own
way and the price of ice is high re-

but since the G. H. Hammond company

Packing company the price Of meats
has steadily increased, in spite of the
fact that the utilization of byproducts,
which were formerly wasted, now pays

Lake county is no exception to the
rest of the country in the increased cost
of living, and if anything prices here
are higher than they are in other cities

another car, coming from the east,

SOMEBODY BLUNOEREO;
CHILDREN JE0PARO|zEO
Teacher at Gibson School
and Her Charges Are
Affected.

Somebody Numbered, and a result
the health of the children attending the
Gibson school was jeopardized. For
two days the pupils and the teacher.
Miss Virginia Bradford drank the filthy
water of the Calumet river. All of
them were more or less affected by the
water which is contaminated by sew
age from the city and the various
manufacturing plants in the district.
The facts have only come to light.
There are no Hammond city water
connections, the only supply outside of
the surface well water coming from
the mains owned and operated by the
Indiana Harbor railroad. The water
comes directly from Lake Michigan and
the city of Hammond has an agreement
with the company by which the people
of Gibson furnished water from the
private mains. Recently, however, the
system was crippled owing to the slush
ice, and it was necessary 10 pump wat
err from the Calumet river. Order were
given to notify all the consumers at
Gibson, including the public school
there, but it seems that everybody ex-
cepting that institution received notice.
Il was only in a roundabout way that
the teacher learned of the situation
and Immediately shut off the water.
All the pupils and the teacher were
more or less indisposed. and the wonder
is that nothing more seriously has
resulted. The matter was brought to
the attention of DR. w. D. Weis secre-
tary of the board OF health, last, and
he Immediately investigated. The chief
clerk of the master of the pumping
station said this morning that all con-
sumers had been notified.

EVIDENCE:
CONFLICTING
IN RIOT CASE

Conflicting evidence and a doubt in
the courts mind that criminal intent
had been shown, Mike Beschini, the
young foreigner who was charged with
using a deadly weapon, a verdict of
not guilty was returned.
Beschini was arrested last Tuesday
in connection with the riot at the east
gate of the Standard Steel Car works
He was caught in the act of having
thrown a piece of ice into a crowd
of people who were coming from work.
He himself was one of the strikers and
when the police put him under arrest
they had to draw their guns and shoot
in order to form a passage way for
themselves and their prisoner. The
evidence showed that it was a small
piece of ice that the foreigner threw
and according to his side he threw it
in playful manner at one of his own
friends

FOREIGNER TRIES
TO KILL HIMSELF
f. Maty, Tired of Life, Sue
ceeds in Putting Bullet
in His Body.
IS IN CRITICAL CONDITION
Bought Revolver and Evidently
Intended For Some Time to
~-mmit Suicide.

+. Maty, a foreigner, 45 years old,
single, residing at 319 Gostlin street,
attempted to commit suicide yesterday
evening by shooting himself. He sue
ceeded in passing a bullet over his
heart region and now lies critically
i'll at st. Margaret's hospital.
Maty had little to say about his act,
and was in such condition that he
could not have said much if he had
wanted. The authorities had to speak
to him through an interpreter and in
that way they learned that the foreign
er was tired of living. He said that
he did not blame any one and that his
act was not due to drink.
Buys "A Revolver.
Maty made his home with Mr.. and
Mrs. John Fish, 319 Gostlin street. Fish
and his wife and John Kosbil another
man who stays at the Fish house. and
Louis Jumsam were almost eye-wit-
nesses to the deed. They saw the act
too late, however, to prevent it. Fish
himself is employed on the night shift
at the Hammond Glue works.
The police were summoned from = a
nearby phone. and Krebs & Burns am
bulance was dispatched to the scene to
take the injured man to the hospital.
Dr. Young was called in and gave the
dying man first medical aid 1t devel-
oped upon investigation that the man
had bought a revolver purposely to
commit suicide.
