Gary News

Mr. Taylor, of New Carlisle, Ind. has made arrangements to come to our city this week and start a men's furnishing store. The location is to be on Prospect avenue, where the other business houses have been loMr. Taylor expects to put in a full line and expects to take care of that class of trade as it grows until when we are a full fledged city he will have one of the best of its kind in Northern Indiana. " F. K. Warne has now completed his building, having built on the rear portion of the store a large addition for himself and family. The store is now well fitted up and will be ento take care of the business as it grows. Mr. Warne reports a good trade, and emphatically declares that he could not be hired to return to Hammond. He has a splendid stock of groceries and meats and all who deal with him speak well of his line and the service he gives. Grading has now begun on Fifth avenue. Frank Wilder secured the work and has some forty teams at work there now. He left Saturday evening for Argus, Ind., to buy hay and feed for the teams, finding it cheaper to do this than to depend on local buyers. The barber shop is now running overtime. The barbers, being Chicago men, have put in the regulation prices, which it is understood the tonsorial artists from Hammond into raise a howl about. But in a couple of years we'll allow them to come over and ply their trade here and we have a sneaking notion that they.ll jump at the chance. Our friend, McLain, the Harvard man, has secured a valuable addition to his collection of furniture. It is an elegant solid oak bed, hand carved and hand polished. To say that the neighbors are envious is putting it mildly indeed. He is contemplating several other acquisitions of the same rare nature. One of the neighbors remarked on the side, we suspect it was out of jealousy, that the springs are pretty stiff, and he wouldn't care to sleep on the bed. To say the least, we are cosmopoliEven Hammond is not so much so. Poles, Hungarians, Germans, Swedes, Slavs, Jews and a large numof Yankees comprise our populaMr. Wilder has secured the services of Ed. Farrell as cook. You will rethat this is the name of the man that was murdered north of here a few days ago. This is of course, not the same man, but is a refugee from the earthquake at 'Frisco. The livEd has gained nearly as much notoriety as his dead namesake by the apalling stories he tells of the redisaster on the coast, which swept away all his belongings. Two car loads of ties arrived Satfor the dinkey road, and are being used for the extension of the track across the "swale." The following visitors were over from Hammond yesterday: Fred Newell, Raymond Wheeler, Hiram Buckner, John Groat, David Berry Jr. and Sr., the senior being the formeditor of the East Chicago News took in the sand and sights here SatTwo concrete mixers have been inon the north side for mixing the concrete that is being used in the foundations of the furnaces there. They are running full capacity and others are to be put in as soon as they can be shipped in. They are enormous machines doing the work of a large number of men and doing it much better than when the mixing is done by hand. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Robinson of Medaryville are visiting Mr. and Mrs. T. E. Knotts. Mrs. Robinson is a sisof Mrs. Knotts and expects to resome little time. Mr. Robinson returned to Medaryville this mornThe commission, making Mr. Knotts postmaster, arrived Saturday and we are now awaiting the arrival of the furniture and supplies. When these are installed in the temporary building, the 500 people now here will be easier to reach than at pres- Mr. and Mrs. Cox of Robertsdale spent Friday and Saturday in Gary and promised to return for a longer visit. Two new families have moved in from Kouts, the men having teams that are working for Mr. Wilder. Mrs. Frank Brink of Buffalo, N. Y. visited us Saturday. The Krug construction company

has three camps full of negroes. They are used for the track laying for the dinkey road and are a peaceable crowd. A large collection of musicinstruments was brought out yesand from their camps along the river could be heard their singand playing, coming to us pleasacross the river.

Superintendent Wirt of Bluffton, a well known educator, visited us Saturday. He is interested in our development and remarked that it ought to be possible to build one of the finest city school systems in Inright here in Gary. That this will be done is evident from Saturaccount of the intentions touchour schools. The Lake Shore has now equipped the local office with tickets, etc., and Saturday's business almost swamped the agent who was sent here as an excuse. The poor fellow sold 85 tickets in 20 minutes. When the train pulled in 120 passengers had to board the train without tickets, maka total of over 200 that boarded one train. The suburban service soon to be inaugurated will relieve this congested condition. The orange peeler is now in the slip ready to begin work this mornThis will be the beginning of the end of straightening the river. It will make a cut of twenty feet, and after this is done the sand pumps will be put in, and the channel will then be ready for the waters of the Grand Calumet. Nash & Dowdell of Chicago secured the contract for putting in the sewers on the north side. There is to be 6,000 feet of 6-foot concrete sewer, the largest contract of its kind ever let in Lake county. The last statehowever, is superfluous, as all the contracts to be let out there will be the largest ever let in Lake county, if not in the country. Another steam shovel has been brought in. It will be used in the construction of the sewers on the north side first and then for the exfor some of the plants. John O. Bowers, referee in bankfrom Hammond, made extenexplorations in and around the city yesterday. He is said to be betposted than any other attorney in Hammond on north end property and rumor would have it that he has dean avaricious appetite for stray pieces of property in our neighThis, however, cannot be true, for he is classed by Judge Anof the federal courts at Inas one of the best referees in Indiana.

CURES RHEUMATISM

Nation

is good food-food for brain, food for brawn, food that is strengthening, that gives energy and courage. Without a proper appreciation of this great fundamental truth no nation can rise to greatness. As an article of food, soda crackers are being used more and more every day, as is attested by the sale of nearly 400,000,000 packages of Uneeda Biscuit, which have come to be recogas the most perfect soda cracker the world has ever known. And so Uneeda Biscuit will soon be on every table at every meal, giving life, health and strength to the American people, thus in very truth becoming the backbone of the nation.
