what cooperation they may expect

they posses under the pure food law.
Mr. Friedman's active and fearless

FOUR CITIES
WILL UNITE
North Township has Common Interest
in Harbor Plans of Tremen-
dous Importance

Tremendous interest in the de-
velopment of the Indiana Harbor
canal and the Calumet river was
aroused and feeling of neighborly
common interest was engendered at
the joint meeting of East Chicago, In
diana Harbor and Hammond business
men in the Lake Superior court house
last evening.
1t became apparent before the
meeting was over that the four cities
in North township have a common in
terest in the development of their
waterways and that this common in
terest will result in closer relations
is certain.
Probably the most interesting de-
velopment of the evening was the facts
! made public in the speech of Mayor
Beaumont Parks of Whiting. Mr..
Parks said that the Standard Oil COM
pany had secured an option on a piece
of land at the junction of the Indiana
Harbor canal and the West Branch
which connects with Lake George upon
which it proposes to erect large docks
and pumps for filling tank boatsr.

Threats Made by Engaged Taxpayers.
City Left Without Police Protection

Four policemen were needed in the
village hall in West Hammond last
evening to protect the lives of the
board of trustees at a special meeting
which was held last evening.
Threats were made on the part of
the citizens that they would take the
entire board out and tar and feather it.
but the police officers overaweds them
by threats of wholesale arrests.
1t Was n stormy Session.
1t was the stormiest meeting that
the corrupt village board of West
Hammond ever had, and it is wonder
wonder that there were not number
OF bloody fights before the meeting
adjourned.
Captain Barnie Johnson left the en-
tire village without police protection
from 9 o'clock at night entil 1880 in the
morning SO that he might protect the
village trustees from injury.
There is no question that the citi-
xens of the village were looking for
trouble. The village hall was packed

Peterson Chi arles a. Blank and Hawart
E. Carleson were elected school trds :
tees of Miller. These trustees at once
made a demand on Trustee Barnes for
a deed to the two story brick school

Barnes refused to relinquish posses

come necessary for the school trustees
to bring suit in court to Have the prop

1t is alleged in the complaint that
following the election of the schoo!
trustees they were entitled to posses
sion of the school property in Miller
and that it was the duty of Trustee
Barnes to execute a deed to the proper
ty to the school trustees of Miller.

CONTRACTS

The Hammond Pure Ice company.
whose controlling stock changed hands
recently is doing splendidly since the
Reorganization. The plant is running
nearly at Sful capacity, and manufac-
lures enough of a surplus TO warrant
the company taking contracts for car
loads of ice. Some of the ice is being
shipped to Indiana points, while some
also goes to Indiana cities.
The local management is pretty much
in the hands of Charles Randall, but
G. M. Poland of East Chicago, who,
with f. w. Wickey, bought the con-

the plant every day for general su-
perintendency. He also is a principal
stockholder and superintendent in the

SAVING THEIR WINDOWS.

1t used to be the custom of brides
on their wedding trip to leave their
signatures as reminders of their
honeymoon on the mirrors and win
dows of the rooms they occupied in
hotels, but the CUSTOM, according to
hotel keepers, has been given up, at
least so far as experiences 60 in this
city, which probably entertains more
newlyweds than any other city in the
country, says the New York Sun.
Nowadays the hotels don't think
it necessary to have a special warn
ing against the DETACHMENT of their
property by the brides. A remind
er Of the custom still fingers about
the old Astor house, however. There
the visitor will still find conspicuous
ly displayed in the notice to guests

ANCESTORS CT NAPOLEON
Great Emperor Of France Was Do
scended on Beth sides Frcu Dis
tinguished Italian Families.

On the paternal side he was de-
scended from one of the most Illus
trious families Of Florence. Civil
@dissension occasioned many Of the
noble families 70 emigrate from time
to time, among whom was the an
cestor Of that branch of the Bona
parte family from which Napoleon
was descended.
When the island Of Corsica be-
came subject to France, Carolo b.
naparte, the father of Napoleon.
whose profession was the law, was
chosen to represent the nobility Of
the country. He afterward received
the appointment of "procureur de
roi," or kings attorney general, at
Ajaccio. Napoleon was educated at
the Ecole Royale Militaire at Paris,
an institution founded by Louis XIV.
for the education of the sons of noble
families with small fortunes for the
military service; and his eldest sis
ter was educated at the academy of
st. Cyr, which was a foundation for
the education of young ladies of
noble family.
On the maternal side the descent
of Bonaparte is still more distin-
guished. The family of Ramolini,
to which his mother Madame Bona
parte, belonged, is one Of the most
ancient in the republic Of Genoa, and
allied not only to all the principal
families Of that republic, but to the
families of most of the great poten-
tates of Europe.
