son why the contestants contended
that the saloon case was an equity &C
ton 'just because the clerk happened
to select yellow folder or red folder
to put the petitions in" He said the
vets should not be deprived of their
rights because the Jacket" of the
papers was of one particular color. The
attorney maintained that they desired
to appeal the saloon case only on that
part Of the verdict inswhich they be-
lieved the court erred.
II we are wrong in appealing the
case only on the Mongerson evidence"
said Attorney J. j. Smith, "all the op-
supreme court and they will tell us
to furnish the balance of the evidence.
If we are wrong the appeal will be
stopped right at the start 1t seems
to me that we are taking all the
chances"
A few cases bearing out the conten-
ton that the saloon action was an
equity matter were then cited by Attor-
ney G. l.. Gillies.
Judge Anderson ruled that there was
no question but that the case was one
of special proceedings, saying that the
supreme court heard the Waterloo
case on error and the Oskaloosa case
On the entire evidence. "The bone Of
contention, 1t seems to me-" said the
court, sis who will pay for the trans
cript of the entire evidence. believe

transcript Of evidence to the clerk Of

The proponents were given ninety
days in which to file transcript with
the clerk Of the district court.

to walk about the house / was left with
frightful hacking cough. which no
medicine / had taken could alleviate.
1t was at this time March, 1902, that I
started taking Eckman's Alternative In
short time my cough was gone and
was pronounced we'll. Since that
time | have had two slight attacks
of pneumonia and j have resorted to
no other medicine to effect a recov-
cry. / cannot speak too highly for the

HUMANE
SOCIETY'S
SESSION

That the public generally is being
convinced that the Lake County HUI
name society of Hammond is filing
a need in Hammonu was evidenced at
the regular monthly meeting last
night. when a number of applications
were received for membership
In order to further broaden its scope
and effectiveness. the organization vot-
ed TO have lieutenants in outlying city
and country districts appointed who
shall be clothed with police power.
The resignation of Isaac Stanford.
former humane officer, which had been
pending for some time. was accepted
last night. after it was thoroughly un-
derstood that his work along another
line takes him out of the ely.
1t was also decided last night tina

SECRETARY BAUER
BACK FROM TRIP
Manufacturer Tries to Find
Available Substitute for
Coal in East.

After spending a week visiting va
rious big manufacturing plants in diff
ferent Indiana cities were for the pur-
pose of learning how these plants solve
their fuel question. Carl f. Bauer Of
the Simplex returned to Hammond last
night.
The Simplex. like other big estab-
lishments, where intense heat is used
in manufacturing processes, is trying
to find a substitute for fuel oil which
the Standard Oil company has practic-
ally withdrawn from the market by
putting a prohibitive price on it. In
Pennsylvania some time ago Mr.. Bauer
found that the plants were using pow
dered coal with much success. but on
his Indiana trip he was greatly im-
pressed with the success of certain
kind of heating gas. which the manu-
facting plants are able to provide for
themselves at a very moderate cost.
In going over Indiana Mr.. Bauer saw
much of the havoc wrought by the re-
Gently foods and he says some places
are the very picture of desolation as a
result of the high water.

known men of affairs were members of

The class including adults and chill
dren numbered twentythree of which

seryance by the congregation, and each
service brought out a record breaking
attendance Special music was sung.
and the church was beautifully and APP
propriate decorated.
At the morning service, Bishop White
delivered the sermon and al the even
ing service, at which confirmation was
administered he addressed the class.

More assurance was given the Ham
mond city administration last night
that city market can be made a big
success in Hammond. AlI the leading
farmers In the vicinity of Highlands
gathered at the public school there to
hold an informal discussion of the prof.
ect with the city's representatives.
Marketmaster r J. ORourke and
City Attorney John a. Gavit were at
the meeting. Mayor Smaliey, who had
also firmly planned on going, was de-
tained at home. however. by the arriv-
al of his sister from Panama
Want Daily Market.
Like at the Saxony meeting several
weeks ago Marketmaster O'Rourke
outlined the citys proposition to the
farmers. They We're so enthusiastic
about the prospects that they insist
ed on having daily market Like
their neighbors at Saxony. the farm
ers at Highlands wanted to know
whether the city would attempt to fix
the prices. Marketnaster o'Rourke as
sured them that the city had no such
intention, but that 1t would not permit
permit a combination among the farm
ers to maintain artificial prices
They proved themselves an alert and
progressive set of farmers in their dis
cussions. They are in fact big pro-
ducers. and have in the past sent their
products to the South Water street
market, or sold them to the sailing sta
lions al Highlands or Schrumville.
Grocers Too Want Market.
From the discussions that were had
last night. the Highlands farmers are
convinced that the principal of. the
city market is correct. They figure
that they can command a better price
on the Hammond public market than
if they sold TO the commission mer-
chants at South Water street or to the
sailing stations and that the Hammond
| merchants could sill buy cheaper from,

every side to plant large variety. as
this plan is to the advantage of both
! the producer and the consumer.
