THE movement to organize a Calumet Business men's association has been started at the psychological moment, The residents of Hammond. East Chicago, Whiting and Indiana Harbor are at last beginning to realize that their interests are mutual. Hammond citizens were the original advocates of the idea of uniting the cities of Northern Lake county but the proposition was never very warmly received and so no progress was made. Public opinion in regard to this matter has changed considerably in the last few years as the cities in the Calumet region have been growing closer together and now there are dozens of men who favor this union where there was one before. One of the factors that has brought about this change of sentiment is the spectacle that the East Chicago aldermen are making of their city. The idea of getting closer together by the formation of a business men's fi.-.m-Lition does not imply a desire on the part of those who support the movement to bring about the union of the cities in question. The prime motive is to secure the industrial advancement of this region by n-'-ov raging harmony and cooperation among its business men. When t ndt ant.-iiri's of such cooperation ,'.'!: to be realized it will sooner or l,i fr be K-cn that interests of one tbesi citfs is identical with that of 'he others and a single municipal ;-'vernment will be the logical outThe ! i:-i:T-s fli'ui of Hammond should not be slow In accepting the huondly advances of their, neighborng cities. We are all in the Caluin family.

WITH THE EDITORS.

When M. Gorky assumes to chide ; Americans for certain conditions that exist In the congested quarters of; our greatest city he should remember the brutish surroundings and still more brutal bringing up of the Russian children who know only filth and vice, and whose parents want nothing else for them. These conditions in Russia are chiefly the result of choice. In this country they are the result of certain local and narrow surroundings. Here aspiration is above and out of all this, but there aspiration is to make it even worse and more unlike the human. Elkhart Review. Marion Puller, formerly senator from North Carolina, has a very poor opinion of William .1. Bryan as a doer of things. He believes that the Nebraskan is long on talk and that his ability ends there. Mr. Butler, while not taking the Bryan boom very seriously, speaks as follows: "Bryan lacks nerve, the democratic party lacks cohesion and organization. For these reasons Bryan, if elected, and backed by a democratic house and senate will accomplish nothing." While Mr. Butler allows himself to go rather far in his presuming, even to the extent of foreseeing a possible democratic victory, he does so in order to commend in highest terms the ability of President Roosevelt. He says that Bryan under similar conditions to those which Roosevelt has experienced would be unable to carry out his promises. The ex-senator brings out 'the force and character of the Roosevelt type in comparison with the Bryan style. The latter while given the credit for being sincere is not accounted the strength of purpose to put his ideas or words in effect. This character sketch that is what it really amounts to of Bryan is of decided interest just at present when he is so much in the public eye. The comparison by so clear an observer is decidedly interesting. It brings out the strength of the president and lack of that same force on the part of the talkative Nebraskan. South Bend Tribune. Between Trains "Music is as free as lake water in Hammond," said the representative of a Cleveland machinery house who has been covering this territory for his firm and making his headquarters in Hammond. "I have been here all alone for the last three weeks and I feel grateful to the various noise making devices. They have caused me to forget my other troubles. A fellow can get everything he wants in the music line from 'II Trovatore' to 'So Long Mary and from a tin whistle to a brass band in a ramble from Signor Morelli's fruit stand to the Palace of Sweets. You side step a hand organ only to be hit by a piano. You try to duck away from that only to be hit by a phonograph loaded with raucous ragtime. On Satruday after noon it's a battle royal of discords. That's the time the bass drum and the bull bugle get in their work. There is no getting away from them unless you tear to the lake front and then there is a chance of getting into something stronger. I've got to give it to Hammond as a musical center. 1 never saw or heard anything like it." A Lapovte man always carries in his pocket a love letter his wife wrote him when they were young. When she goes through his pockets after night and finds the letter, her conscience drags her down and she puts the letter back and seeks no farther. RAILROAD HOI J. B. Barnes, superintendent of mo tive power and car department of the Wabash, has recently completed a new invention which is now being tested. It is a "skimmer" for boilers and it is said that it will make a saving of a quarter of a million dollars annually to the Wabash road. By using a skimmer an engine boiler does not have to be washed so frequently. Ordinarily an engine boiler is cleaned on an average o: three or four times a month. When equipped with a skimmer it needs but one washing in that time. The test 'is being made on an engine on the Peru division, and the results noted are encouraging. It will mean a saving of $33.66 by one engine in one month and a saving of $20,190 by the 600 engines which the Wabash will soon have in service. The skimmer is something entirely new. With it the sediment in the water is run into it by the steam pressure and passed on to the valve and then forced out. Subscribe for the Lake County Times.

SasI Uncanny Vision in Lonely Road Frightens Auto Party. Sight of the Spook and the Stopping of the Machine a Mere Coincidence. Al Wagner and his party of friends claim to have had the experience of seeing a ghost. Wagner and a party of friends arrived in Hammond last night, heing on their way home from a cross-country tour in their automobile. In the machine were two men including Mr. Wagner, and three women. It was on the road between Schererville and Highlands, a fine piece of macadam, but lonely in the night time, that the party underwent the ordeal of seeing, speaking and passing a ghost. Mr. Wagner is a strong man. one whose appearance shows that he is afraid of nothing, but in telling of his experience and that of his friends he said: "I don't remember the time when I was afraid of anything; I may not have been afraid last night but the feeling that overtook me and my friends is indescribable. I tried hard not to show it and if the people with me failed to see it, it was because they were under the - same spell. "Turning the road at Schererville that goes north, wre met not a soul. Only a rabbit crossed our track here and there. Along many spots the road is lined with big wdllow trees. We had just passed a farm that was made lonlier by the lack of a dog's bark, when Mr. Reynolds suddenly grasped my arm with such a vehemence that I almost lost control of the steering wheel, and said to me In a hoarse voice. 'Al, look!' Just then the women in the rear of the car gave a scream and I turned partly around to see . the . cause of alarm. Then the Engine Stops. "Suddenly the machinery beneath gave away and without applying the brake we came to a standstill. It had all hapened in a few seconds. Reynolds was still looking into the sky. Nobody seemed to notice that the machinery had given out. I told them that something was wrong with the machine and Reynolds again took hold of my arm and said, in a hoarse voice: 'That's what done it, Al Then I followed his eyes and at last saw the cause of the fear and the trouble with my machine. Upon my life, sir, we were only a few hundred feet from the ghost that seemed to have his throne in one of the large wilow trees. His size to me seemed to be immense. All kinds of feelings overcame me. 'Did he stop my ma chine,' I inwardly asked myself. 1 should have laughed at myself for seeing a ghost, but I could not get away from it. My companions evidently saw the same thing. We were still in the machine and nobody moving. Had I wanted to move I could not. Keynoms nau me dv tne arm and my wife put her hand on my shoulder and held me down. "The huge vision in the throne tree still remained. I don't know who spoke first. Nobody made an at tempt to find out what the ghost wanted of us. I gave an order for everybody to look the other wav while I looked after the machine nis haa the desired result; the ladies tongues were unlosened and all the funy things they said that fs they appear funny now. I soon had my machinery in order and went to the rear of the machine to consult witn my party. I asked them. 'Do you believe in ghosts?' 'Never did,' answered Reynolds, 'but 1 think that one is all right.' 'What do you think we should do-' asked my wife. I suggested that we turn aorund again, k-ck at the ghost for a minute and then turn in the oposite direction. Of course All Were Brave. ':We turned around and this time he moved. His features were indistinct, still I thought I could see his mouth open. Just then a stronger

to me, however, seemed like several hours. "Of course on our way to Hammend there was no end to remarks of bravery and what each one would have done had the "ghost" approached." Mr. Reynolds handed the reporter a black cigar, saying, 'smoke this on me, and don't believe Wagner; hes kidding, and for heavens sake, don't put the story in the paper, we would never hear the end of it when we reached our home in Iowa." CHILD'S PLAY TABLE. CAN BE TURNED FROM SAND BOX. TABLE TO Invented by a Clever Klntlersnrtner It Is Utile More Than Four Feet Lone, Two and Half High and of Lenser Width. An ingenious play table for children which has been adopted by many kin dergartens in this country and even in Germany is the recent invention of Miss Frances A. Greenlaw, a young THE TliAT TABLE. kindergarten teacher of Marinette, Wis. It saves space and time, serves as well in an ordinary nursery ns in the schoolroom and amuses the little folk by its very capacity of transformation. The table is a little more than four feet long, two and a half feet high and of lesser width. The varnished top is ruled in squares, helpful in dressmak ing, plaiting colored papers, designing and exercises In measurement. When the small students weary of such lessons, the top is tipped over on its hinges, oft regardless of the dolls that crash headlong to earth, and a large box of white sea sand is disclosed. This sight usually evokes the enthusiastic mariner's song, and then the children ply their spades in the hope of finding pearls or sunken ships. The wise teacher sees that there is something new to be found each time. But the possibilities of the sand box are endless. Houses are built on the beach to the accompaniment of the carpenter's song, the forester sings and plants a grove of evergreens, the farmer builds his dwelling far inland, and the mother hangs out her clothes on the toothpick poles. The sand box is so much fun that it is a question PLAT TABLE AS SASD EOX. whether the students will ever be will ing to hare the top restored and go ; back to the common toils of drcssmak- ; ing and designing. j Miss Greenlaw is a most enthusias- i tic kindergartner. Having a practical ; knowledge of carpentry, she not only ; invented the play table, but built the j first full size models herself. Her implements were saw, plane, turning lathe and a hammer, which never mis- ; took the wielder's thumb for a nail. wnen men are friends there is no need of justice, but when they are just they still-need friendship. Aristotle. Deafness Cannot fce Cured ; by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ea: There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tabe. When this tube is inflamed you havs a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflame! condition of the mucous surfaces.
