HAMMOND MEN
NOT IN FIRST LIST
However, They Have Hopes;
Anton Taper Tells In
teresting Travel Tale.

The names of the first 100 winners
in the Rosebur reservation drawing
in Mellette and Bennett counties were
announced this morning in the Chi
cago papers, and although Anton Tap
per and party who registered from
Hammond were not included in the first
winners. they still have hopes, a there
are still 1900 chances left.
Mr.. Taper told q very interesting
story of the life of the Indians and in
habitants of the Rosebud reservation
this morning. and 1t was evident that
Mr.. Taper and party enjoyed their
trip even if they miss the chance of
being a winner
Southern South Dakota is very dry"
said Mr.. Taper, and the crops are
very light and what there is now is
almost burned up. One place where
we visited potatoes are selling for s1.3O
a bushel, and as there was only a car
they did not last very long.
Il believe the worst place 1 ever
visited in my life was a place called
Bad Mans Lands, which is $50 miles
long and four miles wide and the land
is composed of nothing but solid clay
and is practically good for nothing, 1
called this the DEVILS country
Mr. Taper visited a lot of the Indian
camps and told of the uncleanly man.
ner in which they lived. saying that he
thought they were the most uncleanly
race that ever lived
Something never knew or saw
before is that the Indians eat and relish
dogs which they raise like we do chick
ems, just to eat.
when they kill a dog the squaw
ties a rope around its neck and chokes
him to death. They then hold the dead
animal over blazing fire and scorch
off the hair, when this is done they
put it in pan with hide. inwards and
all, and when the dog is cooked it is
ready for a delicious meal.
The first thing that they teach the
Indians in school is to be c1eanly and
they surely need it, Each has his own
drinking cup and separate towel"

Hammond is very much in need of in

districts to the south of the city
Attorney Dunn of Gary was in Ham

and a corps of surveyors will arrive in
Hammond today on their way to Gary.
He will come in on the Monon and will
then proceed to Gary for the purpose
of seeing what can be done to secure
the passage of the franchise in the
Gary council.

obstacles. as a result of the Castleman

ERIE HOTEL IS

Syndicate Is to Close up Eat

Erie Railway.

Lack of business is given by f.
Brown, manager of the Erie railroad
hotel, which is suspend business on or
before the last of November, as the
reason for the change. The entire sys-
tenn of hotels and restaurants operated
by a syndicate along the Erie road
will be closed at the same time.
The local hotel was one of the few
paying businesses in the circuit. Muir
ply Bros, the New York proprietors,
are said to blame the poor accommoda-

are characteristic of the Erie for their
decreasing business. Next to the Santa

fore Judge Ames Monday afternoon and

there he failed to send her money for
her support.
The couple were recently married
by Judge Ames after serious charges
were preferred against the sband by
his wife. If Zumbula fails to support
his wife in the following two weeks a

DEMANDING RESIGNATION OF PROSPECTIVE
 APPOINTEES BEFORE ANNOUNCING THEIR
 APPOINTMENTS IS CERTAINLY "GOING SOME

It must be that the appointing
 ,ower of the present city administra- ton lacks confidence in some of those 1t elects to name for respon- sible positions in the municipal gov ernment. Certainly great change has taken place over former days and we doubt very much indeed if the change Is going to prove for the best interests of the city. Imagine self-respecting men stepping up to the captains desk. dressed in their Sun
 day best, receiving the royal salute and then squatting and sign their own death warrant" To ask a man to accept office, with the understand ing. that before he gets the appoint ment, he must file a written resigna- s ton to be used at the whim of the appointor. rather smacks of that new political fodder called nervine. If this isn't providing the boss of the shtr with bludgeon, to inflict such castigation as he or his advisors may from time to time deem necessary, we don't know what is. MT. Bo- dine sells newspapers and notions in a modest little store in East Bridge port. As a huckster of periodicals most people will smilingly assent that he has had abundant opportunity to faniliarize himself with the art of street cleaning. What becomes os all this talk of special efficiency in department heads. Is there any thing in selling postage stamps and shoe strings that especially fits a man for the task of keeping the streets of a big city free rom dirt? This has been one of MT. Bodine's side linea Is it not reasonable to sup pose that the new superintendent Of streets had promise that, he would be taken care of providing he would remove himself from the city clerk contest in order that the ruling pow CTS might arrange things to suit their own ideas? Isn't Mitchell, the man who had the hardihood to accept the nomination which Bodine originally coveted, the logical candidate for su- perintendent of streets? Didn't Mitchell draw $175 from the bank

He then attempted suicide by cutting his throat

and hand it over like nice, docile | little man and ask no questions. And then didn't those who were on the receiving end of the $175 proceed to see that some one else got a run for Mitchell's money? Mitchell, the storekeeper. is certainly as we'll fitted for the berth, as Bodine, the store keeper. Maybe Mitchell Is made of sterner stuff and that like most red blooded men, he would decline the proffer when it was made known that he must first resign. The new school of local political ethics which re- quires a prospective incumbent of of fee to resign before he is appointed will bear watching. It is certainly some departure from the rules laid down by the fathers. It ought to at tract to city offices a fine array of public servants with vertebraes of the chocolate eclair variety. It would be interesting to know how many of the prospective appointees under the hCW iCSAAiC AoNC oOOh OA oC1 Ch Io submit written resignations before being added to the city's pay roll. Who knows but that the practice is general here?
 The distinguished importation who has been induced to retire from one of the big public service corporations to work for a city, that is dominat- ed by these same interests, and who has not as yet acquired a residence here has been heralded far and wide as an eminent engineer. As a mat ter of fact there arc a number of civil engineers in this city, native to the soil, as we'll, if not better equip ped than he, to take up the duties of city engineer. Some of these young men are sons of old Bridgeport fam flies whose fathers have paid toward the cost of running the municipality. Their misfortune is that they did not succeed in getting in with some rail- road and thereby earn a reputation such as would appeal to owners of public service utilities. Had they done so they would have been made eligible and there would be no fur ther thought of their qualifications.

DEMOCRATIC
 OUTLOOK FOR 1912

The present session of Congress, it must be admitted, will have much to do with the chances of success of the Democrats in the national cam paign next year. Not in twenty years has the party been able to pre- sent such an appearance of solidarity
 Uppermost in it's councils to-day are men who command the respect of the country. The trend of conservative business interests is distinctly away from the Republicans. Taft. hail. genial. jolly soul that he is seems to have not measured up to the expecta- tions- The "irresistable combine" as Hanna used to term the organized business interests of the land seem to be distrustful of him. His honesty no man questions. Indeed he has many lovable qualities of mind and heart that make for friendships. But the making of presidents is no long CT determined, as 1t may have been, to some extent, in other days, upon the power of the machine backed by an unlimited assortment of the blocks of f1ve.'' Taft has much with which to contend from within the badly disagreeing if not ,disor- ganized ranks of his own party. The east, the home of conservatism seems not especially in a mood to worry much as to his political fate. New England leaders, a power in former days, no longer dictate the policy of the party and through the party the policies of the nation. Aldrich is gone; so is Frye. Lodge and Crane have lost prestige because of the twice victorious hosts of the Democ- racy in the Bay State. Mclean in no
