Webster down for considerable of his

Youthful Musical Genius.

Rennes, sleepy Brittany town,
which is known in contemporary his
tory chiefly because the second Drey-
fus court-martial was held there, has
recently discovered In It's midst a
musical prodigy. A local professor
vouches for this discovery. Young
Rene Guillou is aged seven. He is not
only virtuoso on the piano; he is al
SO composer. He possesses ear to a
remarkable degree, and distinguishes
every note in symphonic music. Ac-
cording to the master, he hears music
inwardly. He composes for voices and
instruments without making use of
any instrument whatever, writing
down melody and accompaniment on
to the paper.

The MARKETS
The stock Market.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.]
NEW YORK, March 16.-Financial
America in it's issue Monday will say:
Conditions in the Wall street district
during the past week developed a sud
den and surprising change. In place
of the apathy and Indifference that
have prevailed since the first of the
year, there was a display of vigorous
outside interest that became more ex-
tensive as the week progressed and
entirely alleged the speculative situa-
ton. The moderate advances made
carried prices of many issues to the
highest range reached since before
the beginning of 1911. The coal strike
Jagged behind the rest of the list but
these issues were lower because of
almost certainty that the anthracite
coal companies would soon be forced
into such conflict with their miners
as is now in progress in Great Britain.

The Grain Market.
UNITED Press Leased Wire Service
CHICAGO, March 16.-The week
has been one of almost continuous
declines in the grain market. The
shrinking market is said to have been
due entirely to the disappointment Of
holders Of wheat commitments over
the failure of receipts to give any
indication that reserve stocks on the
farms were as small as they We're at
the corresponding period last year.
Current receipts are larger than a
year ago and the quantity of wheat
in sight is much heavier. Gable re.
ports had no effect on the American
markets. The weeks declines in May
wheat amounted to 3Ac and in July
2 cents.
Bulls in the corn trade are up
against the same kind of proposition
as those in wheat. Instead of beconl-
ing exhausted reserves are ample and
receipts are growing heavier. The
demand has grow lighter. The de-
clines in May corn for the week has
been ga and in July 2Isc.
Although receipts in oats were
larger this week than last week, il
is conceded the visible supply Of this
cereal is considerably less than last
year and bulls in this market did not
experience the difficulties of those in
other lines. May oats declined * and
July &c.
The provision trade see-sawed
through narrow range during the
week and prices today We're slightly
in advance of those of week ago
Slightly decreased receipts of hogs
gave some impetus to the trade.

A man who has just come back from

a few of the business men OF the
city will be lighting its streets.
1t is easier to induce the property
owner to pay his share of the cost
of installation. After that he knows
that he will not have to concern
himself about the proposition
1t is to the interests of the whole
community that the streets OF the
business district in Hammond he
lighted 1t is safe to say that the
poorly lighted streets of the city in
the past few months have cost the
merchants of Hammond thousands of
dollars in trade.
Were State and Holman street to
be brilliant white ways trade would
be attracted to the city from the four
points of the region. Some day the
business men and even the outlay
ing property owners will see the
great loss to the city through its
failure to lights it's business streets
at an earlier date.

John and Cedar Lake win have

sum total of the celebration in the
old fashioned way his year.
The noisy boisterous ourth In the
little towns is on the wane. The
young folks as they grow up are lost
in the maelstroms Of the big cities,
and are glad to return to the par
entail roof for a day of rest. In the
cities of northern Lake County the
heterogeneous populations, which,
but few yeras ago bowed reverently
to the emblems and insignia of aristo-
cracy, are not yet surcharged with
all the blessings of liberty, many OF
the residents still owing allegiance
to foreign governments, and conse-
quently they can hardly be expected
to enter into the spirit of the day
like a native born.
There was a time when every
town of any consequence had a good

CITY SHOULD BUY THE JUICE

There is only one way in which a
settlement of the prob
lem ornamental street lighting can
be settled in Hammond or any other
city. That Is on basis of the prop
erty owner paying for the installa-
ton while the city pays for the cur
rent
The reason for this is more obvious
in Hammond as a result of the ex-
perience that has already been had
with some of the Hammond mer-
chants. Hammond business men
may have a reputation for paying
their bills but the fact remains that
few of them let the majority pay
for the lighting of the streets under
the old system and the Northern In
diana Gas & Electric Company still
have over $500 coming to it from
business men who failed to keep
faith.
II the business men pay for the
current there will be the eternal and
everlasting question of making them
pay for it. Some way will have to
be devised to force the collections or
