Gary News

McLain is in Chicago today purchasing additional supplies for Mr. Hay. Mrs. Frederiksen left this morning for a several day's visit in Chicago. Mrs. Huber and Mrs. Specter were in Chicago on business for their respective places, yesterday. Mr. Groth, the successor of Valiant & Groth, has put up a new sign in front of his quarters calling attention to their restaurant service. The platform for another tent has been built on the north side of the postoffice building and the tent is expected today. i Mrs. T. E. Knotts spent the day in Hammond yesterday. This was her first visit to Hammond since they moved here, the first week in May. ' The men's furnishing store is now well under way and Mr. Goldberg expects to have it completed by tomorrow. The floor is laid and most of the siding is on. The flooring is now laid and the place ready for the erection of the hospital tent which Dr. Jones is going to have. It will stand just to the west of his present quarters on Euclid avenue. Over a half mile of siding has been put in along the Indiana Harbor line within the last two days and a short line of second switch track has been laid. This will be extended as soon as the grading is completed. A two-inch pipe has been run from the tea-pot north of the river to the 12,000 gallon tank' on the hill just south of the U. & O. tracks. Water is now forced into this tank for the steam shovel instead of by means of the hose which has been used hitherto. I Mr. Specter has purchased an elegant saddle, bridle, blankets and other necessaries for Mrs. Specter. Part of her errand to Chicago yesterday was to secure her habit, which Is in keeping with the other things. By next week they expect to have the . . The saddle is furnished with safety stirrups and is of the best make throughout. A large number of men walk pver to Tollestou very evening where bad booze is handed but at all times of the day and night, Sundays and other days. When they have spent all their money they are kicked out, generally so drunken that they are unable to care for themselves. It is safe to say that if saloons were allowed here, a police force twice as large as that of Hammond could not cope with the situation and it is to I be hoped that the officials will follow out their original decision to make this a "dry" district. Although fairly sober after the two mile walk through the sand, the disturbance created by the drunks is anything but pleasant. Hobo Lookout Avas the scene of a Blight disturbance yesterday morning. It is located a short distance from the Lake Shore depot on the west side of Broadway, north of the track on a large knoll. The Weary Willies that top here generally assemble there to do their cooking and sleeping. Early yesterday morning there were three of them encamped there. The smaller one of the three on rising missed $3 which he claimed to have had, and promptly accused the largest member of having taken it. The largest member resented the charge, whereupon the little fellow picked up a convenient club of generous dimensions and knocked him down. The larger one drew a knife but another blow from the club changed his mind as to the use he was going to make of it. By this time a large crowd was gathering and a rumor that the police were ' coming, caused the fighters to hastily leave. The E'oriiiR at Gin. Strong glass plates are bored through by means of rotating brass tubes of the necessary diameter, which are filled with water during boring. To the water there Is added finely pulverized emery. It is said that thinner glass can be perforated with holes in on easier manner by pressing a disk of wet clay upon the glass and making a hole through the clay of the widths desired, so that at that spot the glass Is laid bare. Then molten lead is poured into the hole, and lead and glass drop down at once. This method Is Pasd upon the quick local heating of the glass, whereby it obtains a circular crack, the outline of which corresponds to the outline of the hole made in the clay. The cutting of glass tubes, cylinders, etc., in factories is based upon the same principle. Times' Want Ads. Bring Results

LIBRARY OPENS

fj 1.UHITIH ni linn Gift of Andrew Carnegie Is Thrown Open to the Public. STRUCTURE COSTS 820,000 il City Now Has Elegant Public Library With All Conveniences Other Whiting News. Yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock the new library was opened to the public. The building is one of which Whiting citizens may well be proud and they should show their appreciation by taking advantage of their opportunity to get good books. Judging from the first days' work the prospects are very good. On Jan. 9, 1905, Andrew Carnegie offered $13,000 for a library. The total cost of the building was $20,000 and bonds for $5,000 were issued to cover the balance. The Standard Oil company, donated two lots to the city on which the building is located. Temporary rooms were secured and the Peterson block and the necessities were secured. On March, 22, 1905, the library was opened to the public with 900 books ready for circulation. The corner stone of the new library was laid on Dec. 2, '05, with appropriate services. Since the first opening the books on the shelves have increased rapidly until there are now 2031 volumes in the library. This number does, not look very large in the new building but it is the intention of the board and librarian to increase the number as rapidly as possible. The new building is of pressed brick with stone trimmings and a green tiled roof. It is of Romanesque style of architecture with a tower by each side. It is a one story building and the basement will be finished with birch and will contain a gentleman's reading room, where smoking will be permitted, the lecture room, the unpacking room and the store room. The main floor is finished with sycamore. It contains the delivery, the children's reading room and the adults reading room, stock room, board room, reference room and work room. The decorations are in greens and creams with a very pretty Greek border. The building is heated by steam and lighted by electricity and gas. The floors are carpeted with cork except the vestibule and delivery room which contain rubber tiling. Mrs. Geo. Hay of Sheridan avenue is on the sick list. Christ Etter has been entertaining his brother and niece this week. Miss Mildred Scholz of Grand Rapids, Mich, is visiting Miss Irma Kraut of Sheridan avenue. Win, Stewart has been suffering from a very painful abscess on his chin. It was lanced by Dr. Putnam and it is hoped it will now cause him no more serious trouble. Several of Whiting's boiler-makers left this morning for Shelby, Ind., to erect tanks for the Graver's Tank company. The s trike of the boiler-makers at the Standard is not yet settled and it is becoming a very serious proposition. There are now 7S men out. Police-Boiler-makers. The ball game between the boilermakers and the police occurred yesterday afternoon at the ball grounds in front of the Wolf Lake club house. The score was IS to 3 in favor of the police. The trial of the boys who broke into the store room where the goods of Gus Good were stored occurred-yes-terday. The boys parents were put under bonds and they are to appear before the circuit court at Crown Point in September. Aot of 3Inoh Account. The lord chief justice of England used to sing in the choir of a parish church. A woman once asked the verger to point out Sir Richard Webster as be then was. The verger replied. "Well, ma'am, that's the vicar and them's the curates and I'm the verger, but as for the choir, as long as they does their dooty we don't Inquire into their hautecedents I"

Our town is still on the go upwards. At present a new cement walk is being put in front of Josr Peschel's hardware store. Keep it up. Every littlq helps. Today, Tuesday, was a very quiet day here at Dyer. The humidity of the atmosphere, was so great, that only those people who had to, ventured from underneath the shade. Christ Bruchhauser, from Chicago agent for the Katholishen jug "end freund" made a canvassing trip through our town Tuesday. lie got quite a few subscribers to the paper. Our pencil made a bad slip last Monday and wrote Albert Peacock instead of Roy Peacock. We beg that gentleman's pardon and promise to do better after this as we have since bought a new 'pencil. On his way home from Sschererville on his "bike" Tony Kaiser came near running -over a sleeping woodchuek. , Still the animal woke up in time to avoid an accident, and hurriedly made for the woods. Tony followed it for a short distance and dispatched it with a club. It is reported that John Spanier from Merrillville is very sick. He was at Dyer Sunday, and from here he went to Henry Keilman, Jr. While there a sudden sick spell attacked him. All his children were sent for as the worst was expected. it. --."John News.

The table is a regulation size and the best of its kind. The St. John creamery closed its doors yesterday for further business. The stockholders had agreed to continue business until the ISth of this month but found it advisable to close earlier on account of slack business. Nearly all the milk in the surrounding country is shipped to Chicago and the suburbs. The Dyer creamery also receives a small amount of it on account of the proximity of that creamery to the farmers. In its prime, t the St. John creamery put out a No. 1 butter and j it was reieived as eagerly as the best ion the market. One of the remarkable games of the year so far was that between Decatur and Davenport in which after a seventeen-inning pitches' battle the score was 0 to 0.

They will see the sights of St. Louis before4 returning home. Many of our farmers on going to their buggies after the circus Monday found themselves victims of the light-fingered gentry, who always go with a show. Several coats, vests, ladies' wraps, etc.. were stolen. Bernie Nichols, one of the victims says he has got an overcoat left and the next time he goes to a circus he will wear it all buttoned up, if it's a hundred in the shade. It is announced that there will be no more ball games at Oakland park this season. After deducting the park association of 20 per cent and paying a large sum for an imported battery at each game the ball teams found their account on the wrong side of the ledger, so they decided to quit. The boys have several games away from home. Miss Flora McGill who. Is en route from Washington, D. C.r' to her home in Chicago, stopped o:T here last Saturday for a three weeks' visit with Mrs. Dan Lynch, her cousin, and husband, and her brother, Charles McGill, near Hebron.

She sang in Lowell at the dedication of the Three Creeks monument, and during her recent visit in Washington sang in the Presbyterian choir, and our informant tells us that she has been engaged to sing at the G. A. R. encampment to be held by the Lake County brigade in Lowell, August 23. Mr. and Mrs. George W.

Mr. Loyd still enjoys the art of fingering a few of his old-fashioned two steps on the piano, while his companion sits beside him, sewing and reading all the leading topics of the day without the aid of glasses. It is a joy to be in the company of this remarkable couple. A team being worked by three of Cass Pinkerton's little boys on the Brannon farm southeast of Lowell, took fright at an Indiana Harbor railroad train and ran away. They ran over a post pile, upsetting the wagon and throwing the boys out. Two of the. boys escaped without much injury but Dewey, his 7-year-old son, was taken to the house with his right arm broken and his face and body cut up in pretty bad shape.
