COLLISION ON LAKE SHORE FATAL TWO DEAD, THREE DYING AND MANY PASSENGERS INJUHED Chkago, 8ept.;l4. Mrs. Esther Ho cos of Chicago, and on unidentified person, are dead, three are dying, and 40 seriously Injured us a result of the collision before midnight last' night between a theater and an excursion train on the' Lake Shore road at Ches terton, Ind. All the injured were on the excursion train, which was on the Mding waiting for vthe other train to pass. ' The locomotive of the theater train ploughed through the rear coach of the excursion train.

SOMETUINU MUST UJE UONK AT OXCK. . , With a normal Increase in school attendance, one year, fron today' will find students out In the streets unless prompt action' is taken In building a county high school In. this city, or some dispensation mde for a new building of some Sort. The terribly congested condition of the Central building "today, when schoor was called, ..cannot possibly be wllowed to occur again. It is the opinion baaed on sound reasoning of every teacher tn the BChbol, that to even attempt to open school next year under the present rrangements and facilities. Is out of the question. If every parent In :lh!s city would visit the Central school building, where several grades, and .the complete high school are housed, they would club themselves together and demand a new school building for Central purposes before another year rolls around; It Is simply foolishness to even think of opening another school year under conditions existing today. Thn time Is rife for Immediate' action. ; The Observer's word need not be taken for It; let the parent Investigate for himself. ST, All TO SUPREME COURT HAS OVERRULED DEMURRER.
