Hamburger Man's Hard Luck Tale. "Six sandwiches for a nickel , mis ter. " That's what one Indy owner of n lunch stand on tlie south side called I to a returning Innd rush visitor Inst L night. The visitor either did not be lieve the cnll of the womnn or , like the rest of the registration passen gers coming through Norfolk , hnd fill ed his stomach with entnbles from n heavily loaded hnsket which he car ried with him on the train , or had 1 purchased several of the railroad's - box lunches. "I just yelled that to them for fun , " . explained the lady. "They wouldn't buy anything , anyway. " The lunch stands are making no money out of what they expected to be a land rush. There were eighteen lunch stands on the south side near the Northwestern right-of-way and five of them have given up the propo ) sition so there are thirteen left. Next week they expect three more good days and hope to "Just break even. " A News representative called on - most of the lunch stands yesterday nnd wns met with shaking heads and answers of "nothing doing" when he inquired how business was. , "There is no land rush , " says one owner. An evening passenger train from the registration points had just ; , arrived with about 400 passengers bill the stands were deserted. "You don'l call that a land rush do you ? " askei the lunch stand owner. Bake Fifty Pies ; Sell Two. Two ladles who own one of the stands on the south side will lose . money. When they put in their sup plies to feed the hungry landseeken they baked fifty pies. Two of these ' pies have been sold. The others wen either given away or thrown into the [ y. scrap heap. These two ladies alse ; purchased over $12 worth of mea which had to be thrown away. Anoth er owner of a lunch stand on tin south side bought $60 worth of men nnd this could not be sold. It nls wns thrown awny. Another mm bought n barrel of sausage and liai to throw it away. Similar tales an : told at other lunch stnnds. Only few of the south side stnnds nre doim nny kind of business. The location 01 tlie south side seems to have no in fluence on the Inndseekers nnd ii some cnses those in nn obscure locn Ik tlon get ns much business as thos of who are located closer to the depot. ig The stnnds locnted nenr the city de pot of the Northwestern get mor 10 business than those on the south side but owners of these tell the snm stories. 2k On the south side the thirtee lie lunch stnnds complete for service cos lo over $1,000 , estimated at a low figur ud averaging $30 for the stand nnd $4 for the first supplies , and not incliu ing the electric lights with whlc Pt they nre equipped. It is not believe es any of these stnnds have yet tnke he in enough money to cover their fin ch cost. The stnnds near the city dope or were more expensive. The Wild nf- Barnhart stand cost over $100 and a its average of $15 per day Is taken ii fir- The Stnnton-Sires stnnd cost $60 nn firas as averages $8 per day. Poling & M ire Cormick have a stnnd worth $100 n It erngiiig $10 per dny ; Fred Domnisee rat - cost $75 nnd nvernges $8 ; Gill's stnn at- cost about $25 , averages $5 n dn while Joseph Pluhncek hns a tent wll Ity the cost for Installment about $8 nr iw- receipts running up as high as $1 Usho per elay. It is estimated that the t ho tal cost of the city depot stands on- $400 and the average receipts are $1 ; ay- per dny. re- ata Council Talks of Bad Crossing. led Although Inst night's meeting of tl me city council wns scheduled to be 'as special meeting , the councilmen mai an adjourned meeting of it and aft the the rendvertlslng for bids for sew Jnl- district No. 25 wns disposed of , t\ enr important mntters were brought 1 ies- fore the council nnd thoroughly d M ! ' cussed. One was the question of the extremely dangerous railroad crossing on North Fourth street nnd the other was the mysterious disappearance of tunny gallons of water from the standpipe - pipe during the night Councilman Verges brought up the bnd crossing matter and when ho men tioned It he brought out n protest from the south side councilman. "Say , Barnhart , " said the council man , turning to the city attorney , "Can't we do something toward hav ing the railroad company give us a better crossing on North Fourth street or have them put up bells or some kind of warning ? There Is going to be something happen there pretty HOOD and It will cost the road more money than If they guard against It. " "Oh , you don't want any bells , " Interrupted - terrupted Councilman Koerber from the Fourth ward. "They are n nuis ance. " May Get Alarm Signals. "I don't see why they are a nuis ance , " said the city attorney. "That crossing Is a bad one. " Then the city attorney pointed out that other towns much smaller than Norfolk have sig nals over their railroad crossings and that because the North Fourth street crossing Is very dangerous , the rail road company should Install an alarm signal. Other councilmen said that the North Fourth street crossing was dangerous In many ways. Cars ate allowed to block the street so long that one councilman by actual figure has waited from fifteen to twenty minutes more than twenty times during the year before ho could get across , he said. Another council man declared the cars are so placed that an approaching train cannot be seen nnd an accident is Imminent. The placing of another railroad track across Norfolk avenue and the insanitary condition of the stockyards In the northwest part of town were discussed. These matters were turned over to the city attorney to Investigate nnd he assured the council that something would bo done at once. Where Does the Water Go ? Between tlie hours of S and 12 p. m. , a mysterious leak has been discovered In the city's water system. Investi gation shows that nobody uses any eniantity of water during those hours and that at 8 p. m. the standpipe Is filled with eight to ninety feet of wa ter , yet it is impossible for the pump in the water station to keep up the pressure. During these night hours more water disappears than during the entire day and the council is at a loss to fathom the mystery. Armed Guards In Strike. Sedalia , Mo. , Oct. 10.
