(SpeClai TO IHE llMES.J
Dyer Ind. May 27-This town was
somewhat stirred up Saturday evening
when a report was current to the ef-
feet that Albert Klein, who is in the
service of the NJ. c. railway
pairer at Maynard, was struck by a
train while on his way home a
speeder. As it was Mr.. Klein had
overlifted himself while replacing a
barrel of salt in a car, and while rid
ing home on his speeder became vio-
lently i'll and managed in the nick of
time to throw himself off the track, at
the same time pulling the machine
partially off before an approaching
train. The train was brought to a
standstill after the speeder was struck.
The crew picked up Mr.. Klein, who
was unconscious, thinking he had been
struck by some train, and took him to
Ross from whence he was brought
home on a later train. He was still
in a semi conscious state when he ar
rived. Although still confined to his
bed he is resting easily.

be the first presentation of Little Lost
Sister," dramatization of a rumshop,
a wicked cabaret performance. a south
side dive and also white slavery cpl
sode at the Hammond theater on Deco
ration day. Friday. May 80.
The production will without a doubt
surpass many exhibitions that are
notable for their thrills and sensations
The realism of the production of these
tragedies will most likely astound the
beholder
Arthur Pegler. one of the lurid writ
ers on a Chicago newspaper staff, has
put the story IN dramatic form and a
company has been rehearsing it for the
past two weeks. Herbert Hayes, a Pa
cific coast actor. who recently has been
starring with the SAKE Stock company
in Milwaukee, is one of the leading
players Edward Wynn, we'll known
stock actor. is also in the cast.
A E. Rickson. former manager OF
the Crown theater of Chicago, who is
producing the play, stated that after

sented in several play houses in Chi
cago, New York. Los Angeles and At

Morphine Fails to Relieve.
This is case where physicians
should be allowed to intervene" said
one who is acquainted with the cir
cumstances I'VE are more humane to
a dog than we are to this man and this
woman"
The suffering of Ewing has become
SO acute that he now takes more than q
hundred grains of morphine a day. bur
even this does not relieve him. Two
or three times the young wife. over
come by her duties. has taken NOR
phine to obtain rest, and the dose has
been nearly too much for her. This
has led to reports of her attempted
suicide.

WHAT A CITY BUILDER SAID.

1T appears to me that turning down
the deep sewer will put the board of
public works in a bad light with the
Schlesinger company. Most people have
not thought that the remonstrances
were of sufficient strength to defeat
the project and for that reason have
not taken any action."-Peter w. Meyn.
A FINANCIER's VIEWPOINT.
Il am surprised at the number of
people who have come out against the
deep sewer. AS the owner of a great
deal of property on the north side that
has been assessed and re-assessed for
inadequate sewers, / heartily indorse II.
We have had the opportunity to locate
important industries here that have
gone elsewhere partly because of poor
sewage-A. NJ Turner.
A CITY OFFICIALS REMARKS.
The board of public works is in the
service of the people. and as far as I
am concerned the majority shall rule.
Twenty petitions were sent out in IA
vor of the deep sewer and / doubt If
they hold 800 names If the majority
demonstrate against the deep sewer, l.

John VI. Rohde, president of the board
of public works.
A MANUFACTURER'S PLEA.
Tenants have notified me that their
Easements are flooded with two feet OF
water on the north side tonight. J. f.
kuhlman, street commissioner, tells me
there is nothing the matter with the
sewer except the fact that the Calu-
met river is flowing into ii. I never

REAL ESTATE MANS VIEW.
There is bound to be a big business
district north of the river. and the
! question as to where 1t is to be located

JOY Riders Were 'Pinched.

Spinning wildly down Stony Island
avenue, Chicago, in a large touring
devoid of license, a quartet of we'll
known Hammond men, apparently on
a joy ride, were placed under arrest
by officers of the Englewood station
last Saturday night in Chicago. After
securing the names and residence of
the men the captain called the Ham

ing informed that they have clear
record in Hammond he released them
