go to work this morning.
According to the riveers. they were

ing to the workmen's version, failed
to do that and complaint was made

that two of their number had been
dismissed as result of the question
at issue they decided to stay away from

HAMMOND PEDOIER
ARRESTED IN WHITING
City Police There Gather in
Diamond Bros. Man For
Short-weighting.
Especial to THE TIMES. }

Whiting, Ind, July 30.-Another case
of short measure was brought to light
on Thursday when Chief Lawler ar
rested the fruit peddler employed by
Diamond Bros, of Sibley street in
Hammond.
The man on the Diamond Bros
wagon had sold Mrs. Thomas Moylan
of Center street a bushel of potatoes
Mrs. Moylan thought they looked like
small bushel so the attention of the
police was called to the matter. Chief
Lawler took the potatoes to the Penn
sylvania depot and found that the
potatoes instead of weighing so lbs
as they should have. they tipped the
scale at 81 IL pounds. The basket
was then weighed and this alone was
pounds, making the weight of the
potatoes AS IL pounds instead of the
sixty pounds which Mrs. Moylan had
paid for.
The arrest of the man followed and
he was taxed s1.00 and costs, amount
ing to $1,000 which he paid and was
released.
This is the second case of this kind
within a few weeks and it is not sur
prising to think they can afford to sell
cheaper than local merchants when a
game of this kind is worked.

The greatest radium mine, that near
Joachimsthal, 2 miles northwest of
Carlsbad, has distinguished itself by
product Of half an ounce of radum bro

promises to develop a great radium cure.
The mine once supplied silver but for
half a century has been worked by the
Austrian Government for pitchblends,

Yields one gram of radium bromide.
Metallic radium is never seen, only the
bromide and chloride being,known. For
extracting the gram of bromide, ZOO
pounds OF chemicals and 10000 pounds
Of water are employed and a thousand
cry ;tallzations and reductions may be
made, each requiring from a few hours
to several days. The l3 grams of ra-
dium bromide lately sent to Vienna
have been valued at more than half
million dollars. In a new investigation,
director Joseph Step, of the radium
factory, has found that the radoactivity
of the mine waters is quite extraordi
nary, and scores of times greater than
that of most of the Carlsbad, Marienbad
and Franzensbad springs. The water =
believed to have important curative
powers-contains radioactive gas, which
soon evaporates on exposure.
For high speed machines-like tur-
bines, dynamos and internal combustion
motors-proper oiling is of great impor-
tance, and has been given much atten-
ton. Lubication under pressure has
given excellent recent results, a resin

Political prophets are now busy com pairing the effect of the si.oadon follow ing the election in Maine with that which exists in Tennessee upon Alabama poli- ties. Many republicans are boldly claim ing that the threatened break in Ten nessee is a signal fdf break in all the southern states.
 On the other hand, the democrats are rejoicing in the Maine victory, and be- leve that the enthusiasm which 1t has aroused will bring out the biggest dem ocratic vote in the history of Alabama.
 Insurgent republicans defeated their party in Maine. Insurgent democrats have gone over to the republicans in Tennessee.
 In Alabama there seems to be very lit tie insurging The democratic party is sailing along smoothly with a local op- tionist and a prohibitionist leading its ticket and not the least sign of insurrec- ton anywhere.
 Old Alabama democrats refused to split on the rock of prohibition. While Ten nessee prohibitionists split after the breach caused by the death of Senator Carmack. and republican anti-prohib- tionists in Maine grew tired of the pro
