baby just beginning to walk. Chapman

the local lodge Will take up his de-
serted wife's cause.
The women who interested them
selves in Mrs. Chapman's condition
found her living in 81 musty basement
at 4e6 Sibley street. which the owner
of the building. Mr.. Lucas. allowed her
to use free of charge. giving her as
well the use of one room upstairs for
sleeping quarters.
The poor woman was weak and pale
from lack of food and her children had
the sickly, unhealthy look of persons
who live too much in a damp and un-
wholesome atmosphere. but Mrs. Chap
man and the little ones were thank
full indeed to have even the mean
abode afforded them by the bounty of

AHLBORN'
NARROW
ESCAPE

William Ahlborn, the contractor.
says that Erie train missed his car
by three feet at the Standard avenue
crossing of the c. & o. and Erie rail-
roads. The approach is hid from view
entirely" said Mr.. Ahlborn, 'and 1T is
case of trusting in God every time
you drive out over the switches on the
northbound track for emhankment
obstructs the most of the view and box
cars do the rest"
Mr.. Ahlborn's chauffeur is cauti-
Gus driver and at the approach from
the west brought the car almost to a
stop and listened as the railroads have
never thought enough of human life
to erect or place a watchman there.
The contractor listened also and sat
isfed that trains were approaching
said ''let her CO." The driver threw the
gas on harder than he intended and the
ear shot across the switches and over
the south-bound track. three feet ahead
of an Erie mogul going 35 miles an
hour. The noise of switch engines in
the C. & o. yard had evidently dead
ened the sound.

NO ARRESTS
ARE MADE

No arrests have been made and as
far as is known no clew has been
discovered leading to the identity of
the vandal who attempted to put the
Postal Telegraph office in Hammond
out of commission on Monday evening,
by burning off the insulation on the
wires in the office.
Sixty trunk lines leading from Chi
cago to New York pass through the
Hammond office, all the wires from
Hammond to Chicago being UNDER
ground. The repairs necessitated by
the damage were easily made and bus
mess in the office is continued with
out Interruption. A new switchboard

EXCHANGING
COMPLIMENTS

Mgrs Red" Van Sickle and Maurice
Hankinson are exchanging courtesies
prior to the departure of the latter for

Mr.. Hankinson. He gives patrons their
moneys worth
Mr.. Hankinson is good manager
and fine fellow said Van Sickle.
When l have time 1 go over and see
his show and he does the same Mrs.
Hankinson certainly enjoys amateur
nights and seldom misses them 1 re-
gret that they are leaving"
The best part of this Is that neither
party knew what the other said.
For competitors Hank and Van are

They were killed June % when an

struck in Oak Park by an 81" train.
Among the tWenty-One men held

After hearing evidence at the in

The jury found that the crossing
gates were not lowered and that
there was no fagman on duty to
warn the autoists. The company was
also scored for not stopping it's trains

AGENCY Or TRUST?

My Dear Mr.. Watson: l see in
the Weekly Jeffersonian, also in 9TH
er papers Hon. G. r. McCrarey, of
Ellaville, Ga, proposed a bill before
the next General Assembly of Geor-
gia reducing the price of school
books to actual cost of printing
them. If this bill should become a
law the children would get their
books so much cheaper than they are
getting them now, they would al
most say that they were getting
them free.
Mr.. Watson, | want to ask you for
some information in regard to what
you think of the teachers agency in
this and other States, as / suppose
they have them in other States. 1
know we have them in this State.
Why l ask this is because in my
opinion the Book Trust is not the
only nuisance that the people have
to contend with. A young lady or
young man can go to college and pre-
pare themselves for teachers, and it
makes no difference how we'll they
prepare they can not get first class
job without Joining the teachers
agency, the agency charges so much
for the job direct, and a commission
On each month during the term,
which they, the agency, gets for the
teachers. No doubt they get good
teachers as a general rule, but they
could put lot of poor teachers on
the pubic under their system, as the
teachers that join their agency pur-
chase their jobs, it may be perfectly
right to have those agencies in the
county, but they look tyranical to
me. Trusting this will find you and
yours we'll, I remain as ever,

as to make sure of larger circula-

In order to get all forces inter-
ested in the cause, working harmo-

that II you could give us a date be-
tween the 18th of August and 18th
OF September, preferably between
the 1st and 18th of September, in
Guiding Labor Day and the two Sun
days, we would stand better chance
OF securing q more desirable park,
