WOMAN.

Looking back thro' the vista of many
long years,
With all it's hardships, its joys and its
fears,
One glorious, illuminated, heavenly
blessing appears
IT'S woman!
Egotist or altruist, whichever thou
art,
AS cruel as sin or gentle thy heart,
Still the glory of living till now from
the start
IT'S woman!
The chivalry demands of one who is
Even measured division this side OF
the grave,
And true knightly valor is mighty to
IT'S woman!
Contemptibly liw is the man who will
use
His strength or position to harm OF
misuse
One needing his best, or his best kind
ness refuse
'Tis woman!
But heaven will at length determine
the right,
Give ample return for good done il
it's sight,
And when darkness comes it still
shall be light
'Tis woman!

from a romantic indianapolis girl:
Indianapolis Ind, Dec. 4, 1910.
My Dear Sir Will you please
send me a nice young cowboy
a girl 10 years old l live at
S15 Bradshaw street. l would like
to have a cowboy awful bad. Be

No old dried up cowboys need apply
1t will be noticed that a nice young
cowboy is wanted. pretty one. only,
will fill the bill. And Miss Woolt sure
ly struck a good patch" for cowboys
when she wrote to these parts.
She must have heard that the boys
shoot up the towns every Saturday
night. Some one must have told her
that in the wild and woolly north of
Indiana. where the Indians make fire.
quent raids and a person is likely to
be hugged by a grizzly bear. that there
are lots of brave and beautiful cow
boys.
So boys. saddle up the cayouse, throw
your riatta over the pommel. jump into
your chaps. adjust your shooting irons
and ride to Indianapolis, where you
will find the fair young maiden who is
waiting for you.
Mr. Rabe would go down himself,
but he is married and besides hasn't
had any experience with cows, except
to drink a glass of milk now and anon.

PUR1ELLE
IS COMING
TO THE CITY

When Eugene Purtelle read in THE
TIMES that the stockholders of his line
were coming to Hammond a week from
Saturday, Dec. II, to take up the propo-
sition of freezing him out and taking
-ver the franchises which have not
already expired, he came post haste to
this city and talked the matter over
with his attorney.
1t is understood that he will attend
the meeting a week from Saturday and
will try to smooth things over. He will
try to explain to the stockholders how
It is that he has been living in COM
fort and ease at the Chicago Beach
hotel, while nothing. has been done to-
wards building the line and the fran
chises in Hammond and Lake county
have been allowed to expire.
Purtelle looks prosperous and
healthy. but the people of Dyer and
st. John want to know what has be-
come of their dream of a traction line
and of the money that has been invest
ed in the Purtel1e venture. otherwise
known as the Northwestern Indiana
Traction company.

100 PER CENT
DIVIDEND

At the regular monthly meeting of
the officers and directors of the Cham
pion Potato Machinery company, in the
First National bank, last night, it was
found upon reviewing the years busi-
ness that the company could declare
100 per cent dividend for the year 1910.
While this is not the highest dividend
that the company has paid in the seven
years of its existence, 1T is one of the
highest. and with the bright future
plans that are in store more is prom
ised. 1t was decided to celebrate the
event by cutting the juicy melon by
giving banquet to the stockholders
and their wives on Wednesday. Est
1t was also decided last night that
the Champion Potato Machinery COM
pany should branch out in the manu-
facture of implements, and accordingly
a larger sized digger and a cultivator
will be put on the market 1t is the
intention OF the company to spread out
steadily and conservatively with the
idea of eventually being general i'm
plement factory.
The present factory is so built and
arranged that this can be done without
altering the buildings now in use and
all that Is necessary is to add TO them.
The directors of the company are as
follows: Otto Knoerzer, Leonard

HAMMOND
BUSINESS
MEN MEET


The Hammond Business Mems asso-
citation met for. a round table discus
sion of several matters of Importance
to the community at large. The COM
mittee on sanitation reported that it
is in favor of a state sanitary commits
sion, composed of three men who shall
have charge of the sanitary projects in
the state.
The question of the elimination of
the Chesapeake & Ohio tracks in this
city came up and Mayor Lawrence
Becker, who was present, stated that
he would take steps to have the rail-
road live up to its franchises in this
city
This means that the railroad will
have to build a depot here whether
or not the railroad operates over the
old tracks. 1t is possible that this
leverage may be used to induce the
Erie and Chesapeake & Ohio railroads
to build a depot here.
The mayor expressed himself be-
ing convinced that the railroad would
not eliminate its tracks in Hammond
without putting up a fight. 1t is es-
timated that the tracks that it is pro-
posed to eliminate have cost the rail
road $25o,0oo.

known Lake County attorneys and

dence in Gary has filed an action for

Shore & South Bend Electric railway
company

skirts of Gary. He claims that his
scalp was cut and confused and that
owing to the failure of the company

victims of the wreck he suffered great

After being out for only 20 minutes
the jury in the case of the State of In
diana VS. Dan McKeler brought ia a
verdict of guilty and except for the
fact that Attorney Joseph Conroy, Nc
Keller's counsel entered motion for
a new trial the commitment would
have been signed today.
1t is expected that the motion for a
new trial will be overruled and Conroy's s
move is believed to be no more than
the usual formality. In the meantime
Ferguson, McKelers partner in this
crime, is said to have made overtures
to the court regarding plea of guilty.
Furgeson's confession was a great
aid to the state in the conviction OF
McKeller 1t is on the ground that he
turned states evidence that he will
ask the clemency of the court.
In view of the fact that a motion for
a new trial in the McKe1ler case has been
made the commitment will not be issued
until the judge overrules the motion
if this be his action

BANKER WAS PLEASED
TO GET INFORMATION

President Lawrence Cox of the In
terstate National bank of Hegewisch
was pleased to learn today that his
bank had been the highest bidder out
of fifty-two Chicago banks for the
funds of the city of Chicago.
This will insure the Hegewisch bank
of it's share of the funds of the city.
and Lawrence Cox said today that he
would probably take $4,000 of the
funds.
Mr. Cox did not know that his bank
was the lowest bidder for these funds
until informed of the fact by a re-
porter for THE TIMES. The Interstate
National bank of Hegewisch bid per
cent on time deposits, while the fifty
four other banks bid IA per cent. The
Hegewisch bank did per cent on de-
mand deposits, which was the same as
the other banks

Thief IS GIVEN A HEAVY
SENTENCE IN SUPERIOR COURT

Incidentally the case has revealed the
fact that there are a number of people
who live in Hammond apparently as
respectable people who are nothing
short of thieves and receivers of stolen
property.
Whether or not his charge was Just
is not known but Attorney Joseqh. Con-
roy said in his reniarks~to the e5hry
that Mary Barnes. who resides over the
Bick laundry on Michigan avenue. had
been intimate with Furgeson for years
and that she conducted fence" in
which thieves in Hammond were able
to dispose of their booty.
Chief of police Peter Austgen stated
today that while the property stolen
from Mrs. Clyde was found in Mrs.
Barnes possession he believed that it
had come into her possession innocently.
He declared that Mrs. Barnes had told
him Furgesons real name and had ma
terially aided them in esta blishing the
guilt of McKeller.' Under these circum-
stances no action will be taken against
Mrs. Barnes.

Lawyers Gather in Court

Between Gary and Ham

The meeting of the Lake County Bar
Association last night did not mater
ialize. There was a large attendance
of lawyers from the cities of North
Township but Gary was represented by
but one man, Attorney H. F. McCracken.
and there were no representatives from

The meeting was called to order by
President A F. Knots of the Lake

had looked over the audience and dis
covered that there was only one Gary
lawyer present he suggested that a
North Township organization be per-
fected to look after the interests of tprs
part of the county.
Judge T. NJ C. Hembroff of Indiana

strong Gary delegation, the Insurg-
ents of the Society today pronounced
the operation a complete success
GARY PICKS THEM OFF.
AS result the Lake County Medical
Society has the following new officers:
President-Dr- E. E. Evans. Gary.
Vice President-Dr. G. E. Miller, Ham
mond.
Secretary y-Treasurer-Dr. c. A. De-
Long, Gary.
Censor-Dr George Miller, East Chi
cago.
The election brought to a climax
political situation in the Lake County
Medical Society which grew apace with
the time for the election of officers. The
issue in a nutshell was to wrest the
control of the organization from the
hands which had held it for years. This
was made possible by the number of pro-
fessional brethern that could be count
ed on from Gary. It should be under
stood however that the contest was
conducted in a spirit of friendly rivalry,
so friendly in fact that members of the
Old Guard today said that it was moth
ing more than a joke.
The wire pulling began about a
month ago, when DIR. w. F. Howat of
Hammond made it known that he would
put the name of DR.. T. w. Oberlin of
Hammond forward as a candidate. At
about the same time DR.. Oberlin an
nounced that he would propose the
name of DIR. H. A. Sharrer of Hammond.
This was the sign for the Insurgents to
get busy. and they did. The layout
last night was not inviting to Drs.
