Gary News

Mrs. Ripley and daughter Bardie, of Hammond, visited with Mrs. Chambers yesterday. Mr. Welsh, who is sick with pneumonia, made a change for the better yesterday. Minnie Strong, the little girl who broke her arm about a week ago, is doing well, although she favors the arm a great deal and will do so for Borne time. Mr. Fitzgerald is improving and the doctor thinks he will be able to avoid the operation which it was feared he would have to undergo. He was able to be around'' part of the day yesterday. The crowds grow larger every day that come here to visit. A large portion come out of curiosity, but many of the visitors are investigating with a view to locating here. The master mechanic from the tube mills at Lorraine, O., visited Mr. Gatens yesterday. He was much interested in the steel company's large undertaking and promised to come again. The stenographer's desk, several chairs, a filing case and sample of concerte blook, paving brick and tile arrived yesterday. They were plac ed in the west end of the postoffice building where Mr. A. F. Knotts is to have his office. The grade from the bridge to the edge of the swale where the brick foundations are being put in, is being widened daily. It is now being used for teams, making a convenient way of reaching the north side. It was completed up to grade several weeks ago, and the filling is now being done toward the east. Between four and five hundred carloads of sand are hauled out in the dump daily. A line of ties was strung yesterday for the dinkey track which will make the route of the sand trains out along the fill more direct. The rails will be laid today and by tomorrow the trains will be running over the new route. The present one is circuitious and on account of the sharp curves, hard for the engines to navigate. A temporary shed is being built just south of the Lake Shore switch track for storing cement and other materials to be used in the paving of Broadway and Fifth avenue. The mixer and one of the street rollers have arrived. It is expected that the preliminary work of setting up machinery, constructing sheds and getting in part of the material will be done so that the actual work of paving can begin next week. The corps of surveyors under Mr. Reynolds will occupy one of the rooms in the west end of the building with Mr. Knotts for some little time. They are running the lines for the railroads. The railroads, as before explained, are all to be elevated through our city, and the B. & O. and I. H. lines are to be moved from the north side to the south side. The latter two will run between the Lake Shore and the river and the lines that are being run are for the location of the roads. When moved a large union depot will be erected for use by the three roads and also by an interurban road. yer News. Bernard Thietl and Bernard Rietr.ian were seeii on our streets yesterday. Tony Kaiser and Theo. Kammer made a trip on their bicycles to Chicago Heights yesterday afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. John Trienen of Schererville were visitors in our town yesterday. William Liesenfelt of St. John passed through our town yesterday on his way to Chicago to visit with his brothers Mat and Frank Lieseufelt. one of our Miss Estella Keilman spending the summer months at college at Valparaiso. She will attend the Lake County Teacher's institute at Crown Point next week. Our D. Chevigny is wearing a broad smile that wont come off and he has good reason. He is the proud papa of a bright little baby boy. AIlo.v us to congratulate. Peanuts must be rather cheap. A nickel's worth passed among the members of a lawn partyt- last night was just enough to arouse their desire for "more." Don't fo-get to bring some again sometime.

St. John News, 11

Joseph Keilman from Dyer visited j friends here yesterday. j Mr. and Mrs. John Weis from Schererville spent Wednesday evening at St. John visiting relatives. Miss Anna Pearson from Chicago and Miss Anna Hoffman from Dyer were St. John visitors yesterday. Mrs. Mary Keilman from Chicago Heights, a former resident of St.John, is visiting relatives here.

R. left today for Monon to take up a position there as assistant signal inspector and James Elliott will succees him in the place here. A gang of workmen have removed the side-tracks and "Y" leading to the roundhouse about a mile north of town. Work is still going on in the yards, however, as they are used for a coal station. Between three and four hundred cars of coal are there which must all be rebilled to the coal dealers from here. The company has engaged Operator Hardigan for day work and A. S. Boyle as night operator. Tol eston Mr. Bacon sold four lots on Chicago road to Chicago parties. Gravel was broken yesterday for Harry Gordon's new saloon in Gary. F. W. Gabart of Whiting was in town yesterday and purchased two lots in East Tolleston, Mr. Castleman acting as agent. Indiana Harbor. Judge Ansley didn't go to the ball jame yesterday.

I. & S. R. R., left today fro a trip aoross the lakes. The C. I. & S. R. R. was fined the other day for violating the smoke ordinance in Chicago. This is the time of year when most people take two weeks vacation and then take six weeks to recover from the effects of it. Wm. Born, after selling ;out his restaurant a week ago, has now purchased a hotel in Michigan. From his success as a re:.;tauranter , we judge that Billie will make the hotel business just as much of a success. Dr. H. F. Welsh of Chicago is staying at Hotel Fitzgerald. lie served his interneship at the steel company's South Chicago hospital, so that the work that will come with the opening of the steel mills and furnaces will not be new to him. The engineers and switchmen of the I. R. R. R. haven't had many wrecks at Dolson this week. The men just got paid and are too busy spending their money. A soon as they get a little shy of cash, we understand they will build a few new railroads and wreck some more trains. Indiana Harbor is well in line with the rest of the country in being base ball crazy. Every evening there is a big scramble for the sporting extras when they come in. As both Chicago teams are on top in the big leagues now, the -interest is becoming more intense, but, generally j White Sox. If both teams win out at the end of the season, Indiana Ilarj bor will be well represented at the ! lost se;oh" amesi A representative of thp T .iwrpnro Co. of Chicago was in town yesterday trying to secure a contract to take a picture of Indiana Harbor from a balloon. He had some pictures to show and they were' very tine, but Indiana Harbor would probably rot look verv i good in a picture just, now until we get the bridges over the canal and then they can take a picture of our town.

After several meetings of the two local lodges of the Amalgamated Iron, Steel and Tin works, together with President McArdle and Vice President WTlliams of the Grand lodge and representative men of the Republic Iron & Steel Co., the differences which existed and through which the mill was shut down, were yesterday righted. The last meeting was held at 12 o'clcok yesterday in the office of the company and the questions at issue were discussed pro and con; just what concessions were made by both sides are not definitely known, but sufficient evidence is given that all parties were well satisfied with the terms of adjustment, by the fact that this morning work was resumed at the plant. The news that the mill would go on this morning was heralded over the town like "wild fire", and it was received with the greatest delight, not only by those employed, but by the entire public. For a time it was feared that the mill might be closed for a month or two, perhaps longer. This one plant alone employs from fifteen to sixteen hundred men, and a shut down for only a few days would work a hard ship upon the town in general. How ever esrious the trouble might have been, it was given immediate atten tion by all concerned and the plant was only closed for two days. This morning the furnaces were fired up and the men back at their work. Vitality A-plentr In Monastic Life, on, my mend, you may prate ol wasted lives and idleness and the para sites of the church and all that sort of thing, but I fear It is little you know about the vital forces that are feeding and sustaining and strengthening it every hour of the four and twenty. If I could show you the letters that came to me from that friar In the south of Europe, letters bubbling over with health and happiness and the sweetest resignation, and then show you a photo graph of a young man in tonsure and cowl, with the calmest, clearest eyes that ever looked out from under a placid brow; If you could have felt of his knotted biceps and known the grasp of his small but powerful hand and heard the peal of his hearty laughter for his spirit was bubbling over even there in his serene soil' o you would perhaps begin to mv and why the monastic lite, in epit s tranquillity, never stagnates anc the more you contend against the Bjlt of the religious orders the more they live and thrive. From ,"A Fin de Siecle Friar" la Nationaljklagazine.

WHOLESOME FOOD.

It Coats So More Titan th Ote Kind and Brings Good Results. "I have been making a series of visits this summer," remarked the popular girl, "and incidentally I have boea collecting ideas t help me when I set up housekeeping with Jack. Most of them are on the food question. I am perfectly amazed at the way most people live. The f.xd they buy is either the wrong kind or the wrong ijuantity. "Take the first family I stayed with. for Instance. They served the meanest, toughest little steaks it has ever "AIAVAT3 OVEB THE FnTTNO KETTLE. been my bad luck to eat They felt they could not afford a porterbousa cut and yet they bought enormous roasts of veal, pork or lamb, which bad to be served over and over again, until finally half went into the garbage can. Very frequently at , that house we have had a roast on Sunday; and had It reappear three times during the week. Now, what was the sense of that? Why not have bought a smaller roast and varied the monotony with some good steak or chops? I think for a small family to live od roasts Is absurd. "At house No. 2 the meat was varied, but it was always overdone. Therefore there was uo nourishment in it. They always had oatmeal for breakfast there and were ant to hava two etarchy vegetables for dinner. "House No. 3 had elaborate desserts, and the cook was always pending over the frying kettle. We had plenty of doughnuts and such greasy fare. "At house No. 4 they believed la simple fare, which meant that you had boiled eggs every single morning,witt toast and coffee until your stomaeb" ehrieked for a change, and they served for health's sake the toughest and greenest of lettuce, which was put on the table in a bowl fu ! of water, and you had to fifh it out and prepare your own dressing for it, with the result that scarcely any one touched it." LEONA CLIFFORD. SIMPLE EFFECTS. Combined With Pale Colors TheyAra the Proper Thine Bwect simplicity Is the keynote of the fashionable interior nowadays.
