TlielNeN Reporter.

We took a new reporter on trial
yesterday. He went out to hunt for
items, and after being away all day
returned with the following, which
he said was the best he could do.
Yesterday We saw a sight which
froze our blood With horror. 4 cab
man, driving down Clark street at a
rapid pace, was very near running
over a nurse and two children. There
would have been one of the most
heartrending eatastrophes ever re-
corded had not the nurse, with won
derful forethought, left the children
at home before she went out, and
proyidentially stepped into a chem
lists shop Just before the cab passed.
Then, too, the eabman, Just before
reaching the crossing, thought of
something he had forgotten and,
turning around. drove in the opposite
direction. Had 1t not been for this
wonderful concurrence of favoringci cir
eumstanees doting father, q loving
mother, and affectionate brothers and
sisters would have been plunged Into
deepest woe and most unuIIerable
funeral expenses"

CITY LETTER CARRIERS
ARE NOT REQUIRED

Owing to a misunderstanding on the
part OF the public concerning postal
regulations no doubt many people from
time to time criticise mail carriers for
what is mistakenly considered lack of
accommodation or neglect of duty For
example, there are persons who expect
a carrier to come to their doors to get
letters or other mail. No carrier is
permitted to do this unless he has mail
TO deliver at that door 1t is strictly
against the regulations for a carrier
to go out of his way or stop and wait

GRIPPE PREVALENT
How to Regain Strength After a
Severe Attack.

With so much grippe prevalent this
winter a few words of advice regard
ing its cause and treatment will not
be out of place.
Grippe is an infestious disease cas-
lily taken when the system is in a tired
or rundown condition.
The best means of prevention are to
keep the blood In good healthy con-
dition, and If the system gets into a
weak, rundown condition, take vinol,
our delicious cod liver and iron tonic
A lady from Long Banch, N j., says:
Grippe left me in a nervous weaken
ed rundown. condition. After taking
three bottles of vinol am better and
stronger than I have been for years.
and I cheerfully recommend vinol to
all who have suffered from the grippe
and need strength" (Name furnished
on request.)

Scene of Previous Mysteries.
This is not the first time that a mys-
terry has been staged in East Gary. In
1908, when the village was known as
Lake Station, the headIess body OF one
of it's well known citizens was found
in a nearby woods. He had shot his
head Off The sexton decided to inter
the remains In a grave already occu-
pied, and proceeded to exhume the first
body. He had not dug very deep until
he found the uncoffined body of beau
tiful young woman.
Although detectives worked on the
case for months they go not further
than these theories: 1. e. That the girl
had been slain on a Michigan Central
railway sleeper and was taken from
the train and buried; 2, That she was the
victim of an itinerant preacher who had
conducted revival services in the town
ship; 8, That she had been murdered in
Chicago and her body brought to the
lonely spot for interment.
In 1903 another murder occurred near
East CARY and in January 1919 the
remains of another murder victim was
found In all three instances no cap
lures were ever effected

PIums or Sour Grapes?

The above question is becoming
quite vital to the faithful demo-
Gratis who have had a very pleas
ant period of anticipation since the
fifth of November. There was nc
question at first, only a feast of
plums was in sight. Some members
of the party, those in the United
States senate in particular, still
hold a vision of plums. They are
preventing the confirmation of the
apparently believe they can keep
this seasons crop of political plums
in cold storage and have them in
addition to the regular crop of
plums for democratic consumption
during the Ides of March. But
there are indications of something
of crop of sour grapes in the po-
litical field. Here is the answer the
president elect gave to the labor
leaders of New Jersey who called
upon Governor Wilson to have him
appoint a democrat as labor COM
missioner of that state in place of
Lewis T. Bryant, republican, who
is now holding the place, but whose
term is about to expire:-"As the
responsible appointing officer,
am bound to consider the name OF
a man who has made good as Col
onel Bryant has. Colonel Bryant
has made good, and am bound to
consider his claims. / would be
ashamed of myself if 1 did not"
Continuing his speech to the
delegation which waited upon him.
Governor Wilson said:
