Il MOST LOGICAL SITE FOR
THE NEW CITY HALL

What is termed the most logical
site for the city hall, which is be-
ing so much talked about at pres
ent, is proposed in letter received
by City Clerk Fleming today. The
proposed site is known as the Mer-
riam ground and lies between How
ard and Mill and First avenue and
the N. P. tracks. 1t is contended
that 1t is the most central location
that could be picked, that it is but
two blocks from Howard and River
side, which is liable to be the bust
ness center for some time to come
yet, and that location is contiguous
TO all the main car lines.
The ground could be purchased at

SOUTH BEND, Ind, July 25.-
Rioting has broken out here as re-
suit of the shooting of Louis Freel
in the Grand Trunk strike, and
troops may be sent here. Freel, a
car repairer, was shot late yester-
day and is in a critical condition
today. One report that he was dead
gained circulation among the strik-
ers and their sympathizers and a
renewal of the trouble was threat
ened this morning. Afterwards it
was found that the rumor was un-
founded. The men, however, are in
an ugly mood and the situation is

OF all dumb brutes the horse Is the

Of man. Il has been his doclie and

1t has eased and aided him IN the dull
business OF getting a living. It has
played a greater part in human pro-
gress than many a race Of men.
Until man had made the horse his
seryitor and ally, the thing that we

his reach. The mere labor Of getting
his daily bread consumed all Of his
energies. But when the first plow
horse threw its weight forward a new
era dawned for humanity. Thereafter
man began to have leisure to plan and
dream. Life became to him less a
matter of muscle and more a matter
OF mind. 1t was then that progress
really began.
The horse appeals very little to the
theatrical sense. II is a silent. patti

the dog. It does not dash into raging
torrents to save its masters life; 1t

The bread which Indiana scattered
on the waters has begun to return to
her. More than five years ago the
state fish and game commission began
systematically to stock the lakes and
streams Of that state with fish. Util-
izing the many lakes in its northern
part as breeding grounds. the com
mission succeeded in securing several
million fish of desirable quality. These
we're then distributed about the vari'
GUS water courses and lakes Of the
state.
AS a result 1t ls now estimated that
about $4,000 900 is annually spent in
Indiana by outsiders who go there to
fish. II is quite likely that as much
more is spent there by Indianians
who previously went elsewhere for
their sport. The cost of stocking the
lakes was comparatively small. The
handsome returns show that the
money was well expended.-Chicago
