Especial to THE TINES. /,

Indiana Harbor, Dec 21.-One of the
most eDterprising and ambitious under
takings that ever originated in this
region was started yesterday in Indi-
ana Harbor, when the Commercial club
of Indiana Harbor and East Chicago
adopted resolutions advocating the or
ganization of n association to work for
ganization of an associa ton to work for
canal with Indiana Harbor as the
northern terminus.
Project Big One.
The project is fathered by W. C.
Dickey, who gave a ringing talk re-
garding the feasibility of the under
taking, and showed an abundance OF
reasons why Indiana Harbor was the
logical starting point of the proposed
waterway. and why the Tippecanoe, the
Wabash and the Ohio should be arteries
through which the canal sould proceed
on its way to the gulf of Mexico.
Mr.. Dickey's talk was by no means

severe attack of brain fever re
suited in destroying Otto's eyesight
and the best of medical skill sough,
was powerless to restore to him his
sight, and he was doomed to pass the
remainder of his life in darkness. Ir
spite of this great misfortune, he
was never known to murmur or com
plain on account of his fate, but was
always cheerful and jolly and all who
formed his acquaintance were mum
bered as his friends. Having musica
talent, he took a course in music dur
ing his stay at the blind institute at
Vinton, Iowa, and in a short while
became a very able pianist. He grad
uated in music while at this college
and upon his return home he gave in
structions in music. Many of the now
young men and women in this locality
have received their musical instruc
tons from him. About five years age
rheumatic trouble forced him to give
up his musical work, and about two
and half years ago this ailment left
him total invalid, unable to walk OF
use his hands, and he had to rely on
full relatives. But in all his suffering
and helplessness he was cheerful and
bore up under all with a remarkable
spirit of patience. The day previous
to his death he was taken from the
home of his brother, n. P. Larson, to
the old homestead, where his brother,
Andrew and family reside, to be cared
for by them for some time. On Sat
urday morning early he called his
brother, Andrew, to his bedside and
after a short time. he breathed his
last and his soul was released from
its earthly house; his body forever
freed from the disease that had racked
it and given it long hours of intense
pain and suffering. The visions of his
loved ones and the sights of this
earth had been denied him during his
existence, but now for time ever
more he will behold the celestial beau
ties. Several times he had expressed
himself as ready and willing to die
and that he had made his peace with
God. Why this affliction and suffering
should be his lot is question asked
by many of his friends, but while the
divine plan in many instances is I'M
eXplainable to us, this case should be
for all an example to appreciate the
use of our sight and good health and
return to the Divine Ruler, thankful
for being spared from such Affections
At his death he was 4S years of age.
He leaves five brothers: Peter, Frank
Gust, Andrew, Charles and one sister,
Mrs. Chas. Carlson, and number of
other relatives and many friends, who
have been saddened by his death. The
funeral took place on Monday after
noon from the old homestead. f. L.
Johnson conducted the funeral serv-
ices. which were attended by large
number of relatives and friends. His
remains were laid to rest in the Kiron
cemetery. Another brother and friend
has gone from our midst to await us
on the other shore. His memory will
linger with his many friends and ac-
quaintances.
