HAMMOND. Ind. Anril 1.

Hammond. Ind. April 10.
Frank G. Beastrom, who was almost
instantly killed yesterday when be was
caught in a drive belt at the plant of
the Illinois Brick company at Bernice,
III. will be buried tomorrow afternoon
at 2 o'clock.
Beastrom was supervising the work
on what is called mud mixing ma
chine, which turns out the clay before
it is pressed into bricks. He noticed
a considerable amount of clay cling
ing to the belt, which carries the clay
into the mixer. He was telling his
men to get something to clean the belt
off with. when his arm was suddenly
drawn into the belt near the pulley.
The force of the pulley and the sud-
den shock. jerked his arm and part of
his shoulder from his body. He was
picked up and died eight minutes, later.
The funeral will be held from the
home at O'Clock tomorrow afternoon,
and interment will take place at Oak
Glen cemetery.
In respect and sympathy for the be-
reaved family ,the head officials will

PRACTICE
HAS NEARLY
Fatal END
Bicyclist INDUCES in Com
mon Usage and Meets
With Accident Which Re-
suits in But Slight Injury
to- Rider.
Hammond, Ind, April 10.


An accident which might easily have
resulted fatally occurred on South Hob
man street in Hammond last night
when Contractor j. II. McClay was driv-
ing his automobile towards home.
A. H. Rohrer was in the car with Nc
Clay and the Hammond contractor was
driving along at moderate rate of
speed when he happened to glance
backward and noticed the face of boy
In close proximity to the car.
The boy was riding a bicycle and had
hold of the mud guard at the rear of
McClay's car. When McCIay looked
around the boy lost control OF his
wheel and the pedal struck the spokes
of the rear .v;--eI of the automobile.
Thrors. twenty Feet.
The result was that the boy and
bicycle were thrown half way across
the street to the curb and had the boys
head struck the concrete curb and it
came near doing the accident might
have been fatal
The wheel was badly damaged bu:
the boy was able to get up and ap-
parently was not very badly injured.
The accident was a very fortunate one
in that there was no loss of life.
An idea may be had of the force with
which the spokes OF the wheel struck
the pedal of the bicycle from the fact
that one spoke was nearly cut in two
and great chunks of wood were torn
out of half dozen other spokes.
| Contractor McClay says that this
should be a warning to bicycle riders
not to catch hold of automobiles and
the street cars the dangers of acct
dent are very great

New Orleans Futures.

New Orleans, May 25.-Cotton futures
opened steady, to points down on
the old crop months and 2 to down
on the new. The lower opening was
due to poor cables. Bulls were good
bidders on the call and first prices were
the lowest in the early trading. The
weather map was called unfavorable as
it did not show a speck Of rain any
where in the cotton country. The fore
cast of continued dry weather added to
the uneasiness over droughty conditions
in some portions Of the belt. On the
weather situation, the market showed q
tendency TO recover and at the end Of
the first half-hour Of trading, stood 1
to points under yesterdays close
In spite Of the dry weather prevail

counts received during the morning were

that the crop was doing well, and was

COTTON MARKET
RULES LOWER
BY Associated Press.

New York, May 25.-The cotton mar
ket opened barely steady at a decline of
6012 points on the old crop and I'm
changed to five points lower on the
new under liquidation. Offerings were
very well absorbed around the initial
figure and the market ruled steady for
the first few minutes, but the old crop
selling continued and the market became
weak and unsettled during the middle
of the morning. Stop loss orders were
uncovered when July got down to 1875
and that position broke to 1882, while
August sold off to 1907 or to a loss of
about 90 or "a points. The new crop
was relatively steady, selling only or
5*points net lower.
One of the leading bull brokers who
had been selling around the opening
prices, turned buyer at 1852 for July,
and the market rallied about 10 points
in consequence.
Prices at midday were about to IA
points under the closing figures OF yes
terday. Selling of the old crop months
was attributed to the rumors of some
what easier tendency in southern spot
markets and there was also some gossip
to the effect that leading spot interests
had withdrawn from the bull compaign.
Spot quiet.
The market was very quiet during
the early afternoon and no further fea-
ture developed with prices ruling about
506 points net lower; new crop posi-
tons remaining relatively steady.

ENTHUSIASM. .... q

Following up the suggestion made

route for the national highway from
Moultrie by Triton to Pensacola, that
a bridge be built across Bscambia
river at a suitable place as was told
of in Tuesday mornings Journal the
Pensacola Commercial Association.
represented by President w. X. Hyer,
Jr., Secretary G. A. Waterman, and
Charles A Dexter, Of the board of d.
rectors carried several of the county
commissioners to look over proposed
sites for the brideg as selected by
the scout. party. Members of the
board of county commissioners In the
party were Joseph 1. Johnson, chair
man, Peter Mcclellan, Arthur w. Davis
and NJ. o. Baggett. Several automo-
biles had been rendered the CONNER
cial Association for the use upon this
occasion and a number Of Pensacola
citizens, Mayor Reilly and Alderman
Concannon and a Journal representa-
tive composed the party that looked
over the proposed sites.
The county commissioners seemed
very enthusiastic over the matter and
promised to give it thought and dis
cussion, and if possible to cooperate
with the Santa Rosa county commits
sioners and build the bridge.
The Commercial Association is eager
that the county commissioners take
the matter up Immediately, for il will
add greatly to the success of the
highway that is to come to Pensa-
cola.
If the bridge is built at the points
looked at yesterday 1t will make the
distance from Milton to Pensacola
about twenty-five miles and will open
up one Of the best sections of farming
lands in Santa Rosa county that is
now practically cut off from the
markets. Citizens in both counties are
willing to. cooperate with the county
commissioners and help build the
roads and bridge, three prominent ones
signifying their willingness to give
five hundred dollars each to this
end.
A joint meeting between the county
commissioners of the two counties and
the Commercial Association and the
city officials of Milton will probably
be called in a few days to discuss the
bridge proposition.
