Mrs. W. ti. Nowles is visiting in Gary this week with her daughter, Mrs. Lawson Meyers. Mrs. Charles Rishling entertained the Ladies oi the G. A. R. at her home in the northeast part of town, yesterday afternoon. Ludd, the 14-year-old son of Geo. Iliff of south of town, was thrown from a horse Wednesday and broke an arm above the elbow. Mrs. Francis Ham of the west part of town, had quite a bad attack of heart trouble Thursday night, but was reported better yesterday. Yesterday’s markets: Corn, 67c; oats, 43c; wheat, $1; rye, 75c. The prices one year ago were: Corn, 64c; oats, 35c; wheat, 75c; rye, 55c. An extra special in cotton blankets for $1.35. This is a large blanket of good weight, an exceptionally good one for the price. Get a pair at ROWLES & PARKER’S. “Uncle” Stewart Hammond passed his . 87th milestone last Sunday, and the occasion was fittingly celebrated at the home of his granddaughter, Mrs. Ivan Carsen, his son, J. P. Hammond, and daughters, Mrs. Marion I. Adams and Mrs. Clint Brown, and families and other relatives and friends being present. Mr. Hammond is holding his own quite well and is apparently good for several years yet.

Babcock & Hopkins have been engaged for the past couple of weeks in rebuilding their elevator which was destroyed by fire several months ago. The engine was not damaged to any extent by the fire and it has been started up and works all right. A new smokestack has been erected and the building now going on is of a temporary character and on a small scale, but it will be done with a view to utilizing it in the thorough rebuilding of the elevator next season. George W. flopkins moved into hjs fine new home yesterday, and Mrs. West and family has moved into the property vacated by George, on the corner of Washington and River streets. Mr. Hopkins has been delayed somewhat in completing his house because of the non-arrival of the doors and a large French window. However, he has closed up temporarily, the opening for the front door and the window and is occupying the house, but he hopes the doors and window will arrive before zero weather comes.

Mrs; A. P. Burton has recently recovered from a South Halstead street pawnshop in Chicago, the gold watch which was stolen from their home here during the recent carnival. She sent a description of the watch to the Chicago police and it was located and returned to her, she paying $2 charges that was against same. Jt was highly valued as a keepsake, it having been presented to her'by an aunt. Art Kanne and Elizur Sage, who also had watches stolen on the same night, are said to be trying to locate their timepieces in the same manner. It will be remembered that a few nights after the houses were entered , here, several residences at Monticello were also robbed and a watch taken at one of the latter places was later recohered from- a Chicago pawnshop, so it 1? evident that the same b’«nch of theives operated in both places.
