IT was prettr coarse work at that, wasn't it? IF we had less willows and weeds we would have fewer mosquitoes. GOV. HANLY probably prefers to do his Chautauqua work in districts outside of his own. APPARENTLY there is no money in building a $90,000 sewer for less than ,$123,000. THE oyster season will open In 15 days. The lobster season we have with us always. A Few of our merchants have returned after a summer's jaunt through Europe to find a newspaper in their midst. IT is almost a shame to deprive some of our enterprising citizens of . such a juicy morsel as the West Hammond sewer. EAST CHICAGO is having the same kind of trouble with its intake as AVest Hammond i3 having with its outlet. THE goods which Mr. Markman promised to deliver seem to have been held up somewhere between Randolph street and the Cahrmet river. THE Globe "refinery" is In Illinois all right; but that doesn't make much difference to the people of Indiana when the wind Is in the West. WE are glad to note that the much reviled Calutnea Is all to the lotus lilies. "Full many a flower is born to blush unseen and waste its fragrance" on a distillery. THE process of law may keep Wert Hammond out of the sewer for several months but there is some consolation in the fact that it will continue to have the use of Its money. IF Roger Sullivan has his way William Jennings Bryan will have hard work landing the endorsement of the Illinois democrats. But. after all, what does it matter? IT'S all off with the cEce cat. Her light went out yesterday. However, we have ordered another from Crown Point. We continue to crave your indulgence. It may take more than twenty-four hours to get her hoiio. broken. WITH THE EDITORS. In Philadelphia the theory that criminality is due to malformation of the brain or of some portion of the nervous system that affects the brain Is bearing fruit in a society for the treatment of children before they develop serious tendencies toward evil. By and bye the faddists will take the infant from the cradle and perforin surgical operations to deter-

mine whether or not they are prone to sin. In other words, they believe in the old statement of creed that man is by nature evil, but they ascribe it to physical causes that control the soul. Elkhart Review.

Realty dealers are agreed that the building of interurban lines is an important factor in producing country life in Indiana. The demand for farm property has become great since the traction industries sprur.g up, and thi? demand is increasing each year. It was greater during the present season than ever before. Sections of the tute which were dis tinctly rural a few years ago are no-f dotted with handsome summer homes. Country life is taking on additional charms for those who work in the cities Real estate agents do not hesitate to declare that the electric road.s are working a general transformation in every locality where they are operating. Frankfort Crescent. Commencing tomorrow wild doves may be killed as game birds in this state. When game lovers learned that doves had been placed on the list of gamp birds they were amazed and wondered who was responsible for putting this gentle, half-tame bird at the mercy of the hunter. It is not known just who was the guilty one, but it got into the hill without the knowledge of the fish and game commission (the author of the bill) and the irony of it is that the bill passed only because of the hard work of the comission to get its bill through. An attempt will probably be made to correct this law in the next session of the legislature, and lovers of birds should join the lobby. Bedford Mall. Between Trains She was a lovely thing and much given to the expression of her feelings. As she nestled her head on his manly breast she said: "Oh, George! how loud your heart beats- And every beat is for your own Angeline, isn't it dear?" He looked uncomfortable. "Well, the fact is," he said, "that the engagement ring cost so much that I'm or obliged for the present to carry one of these dollar watches. That's what you hear." A Hammond doctor whose most troublesome patient was an elderly woman, practically on the free list received a sound raking from her one day for not coming the night before when summoned. "You can go to see your other patients at night, why can't you come when I send for you? Ain't my money as good as other people's." "I do not know, madam," was the reply, "I never saw any of it." A f imily much adicted to the ganvi of euchre went recently into mourning by the loss of the father. A discussion arose as to whether the deceased would have chosen to be burled or cremated. The decision was left to the eldest son, who. looking at his mother, said, "I leave it to you." to which the lady replied, "I make it spades." A fellow decidedly "up against it" approached a certain Scotchman in this city with the usual, "I'm out of money and must, get back to the city tonight to the bedside of my sick wife." The fellow asked for IT. cents and the Scotchman went into Millikan's to change a quarter and gave it to him. "I'll go right in," said the fellow and as the Scotchman went around the corner the man went right in to the Bank saloon. The state fair is to have an exhibit of one man milking thirty cows by electricity, in-can-descent. RA1LRQADN0TES Many interesting disclosures were made regarding the syndicate operation? which led to the consolidation of the Cincinati, Hamilton & Dayton. Perre Marquette and Chicago, Cincinnati & Louisville railroads at the hearing before a referee in the interests of William A. Bedford. Jr., and his associates. One of the interesting features of the hearing was the revelation that J. Pierpont Morgan paid a higher price than was supposed in buying the stock control of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton. He purchased the 65.0 0 shares held in a voting trust by the syndicate, and is credited with having bought 10.000 additional shares in the open market, thus obtaining 75,000 shares out of the total outstanding 80,000 shares. Mr. Morgan was credited with paying 160 for the stock which would have made the purchase price $12,000,000. The announcement railroad has been with steel passenger that the Erie experimenting ears for some

months and propose to b'uild a large number of steel passenger coaches has hastened the action on the part of officials of other roads' on the steel car question and several of the im-

1 portant roads are to take up the matter with the directors of their re spective roads at meetings to be held in New York next fall. MORE FIRE STATIONS SUGGESTED BY CHIEF. Ends of Town Badly in Want of Additional Fire Protection. If the recommendations of Peter Dilschneider, the chief of the fire department, are favorably acted upon by the city council, Hammond will have two branch stations in the outer districts of the city within a few months. The chief ha? for a long time realized the necessity of more fire protection on the south side and In the factory district on the north side. He claims that the city is so widely extended that it is impossible to cover it adequately from one station. As an illustration he points "to a possible emergency In which the department might be called over on the north side and be busy fighting a lire there, when a house in the i residence portion of the south side might catch fire and be destroyed before assistance could be rendered by the department. An actual case of this nature happened in a slightly different manner several months ago when the fire department received a call at a certain number on Hohman street. They made the run all the way to the intersection of Conkey avenue only to find that the call was north Hohman instead. By the time the winded horses had covered the distance to the fire on the north side where the Ahlendorf flats were being destroyed, the firemen were so anxious to accomplish all they could that "Pap" Green fell from the roof of the burning building and was severely injured. Of course, the location of the new departments will not be decided upon until the proposition assumes more tangible form, but it is generally understood that the places of greatest need are on South Hohman street, or near Hohman street on one of the side streets, such as Douglas, Ogden or Condit. The need of a branch department over on the north side where hundreds of thousands of dollars are invested in manufacturing plants is apparent to everyone, and this branch would be located so that it would be In the best position to protect the large concerns there. The chief will recommend that substantial buildings be built and the new departments will probably be equipped with a combination chemical and hose wagon. The council will make up the yearly budget at the first meeting in September and it is then that the ap propriations for the auxiliary departments will be asked for. WILLIAM B ANTON LOOSES $120 IN ONE POKER GAME. Billy Kozrran and George Showen Arrested and Warrants Still Out for ths Arrest of Frank Bough and Vcdyslav Hognochi as a Result. Two men have been arrested and a warrant is out for the third on the charge of gaming. Several days ago William Banton sat in a poker game poker and lost $120 before he left the tables. This morning he swore out a warrant against Vaofslav HognachI who was running the game and George Showen, Frank Bough and Billy Kozman against whom evidence had been secured for gambling. The police were our all mornint searching for the men and this afternoon they arrested George Showen and Billy Kozman. The other men are still at large. Mr. Banton claims that he was beaten out of the money in a game of poker. The bail of the men who have been arrested was fixed at $100 each. The gambling took place at what is known as Chopin hall, the headquarters of the Pleasure club, which hall is located in Paul B. Lininski's building across from the fire department on Hohman street. ITS EASY WHEN YOU SHIFT. Another couple showed up at the court house today which was evidently desirous of having their marriage kept quiet. Their names were Emerson Priest and Clara Pond. Mr. Priest and his best man appeared at the office first about 2 o'clock to inquire about the license and said that the bride-to-be and he were from Indianapolis. When told that they could not take out a license unless the bride lives either in the county or out of the state, they said they would see about it. The men returned with the bride and got their license saying that the groom was from Elgin, 111 and the bride from Springfield, 111. They were married by Judge McMahan.

E AT HOME:

Few people of Hammond seem to j realize what exceptional, opportuni- j ties for a day of a week's pleasure j is offered In the surrounding coun try at this season. The idea seems prevalent that on ly millionaires who can afford pal aces at the seashore may enjoy th' pleasures of a summer home. It it j safe to say that not more than or.e j of each hundred residents of hij city will be fortunate enough to tn-j joy a week's outing this season, and ; yet witihn five miles there- arej score? of places where the woods. ; meadows and watsr combine to of-j fer an ideal camping ground while the- only thing necessary to the project aside from cooking utensil and j a Htle bedding from the home, is! a small tent and a sunny dispo;ition. Camped between here an-;! Clark Station are fifteen or twenty families; the greater part of them from Chicago, and some will ;,er.d ; the whole season on the river. ! It' is a pleasure to watch the children, brwou and health', swimming, boating or picking water flowers. Few calls from the doctor come from such families. Back in the wood3 blackberries, chokeberries and blueberries are plentiful and there are few better fishing grounds in the state than the Calumet above East Chicago. No such signs warns one length on for a bite as "keep off the grass" against lying at full the bank while waiting and the air is quite different from that around Hammond's infant industries. Additional City The football rule books and fall sporting goods have arrived at Mil!!kan' and at Mees. C. F.

The man was driving around the corner when a street car came around and the horse became frightened and started to back into the car. The horsa was quieted, however, and led out of the corner. POLICE PICKUPS. Leo Flaherty was night on the charge arrested last cf drunkeness. J. P. Heardrlcy, who is employed in the gas office, reports his bicycle stolen. J. I-:.

Sharp and wife are conducting one of the most successful revivals ever he'd in this section of the country. The large tent is packed Sunday and week day evenings. The meetings have been running only eleven day? and there have been forty-five additions to the church, all men and women. The meetings will continue and bids fair to be one cf the greatest ever held in Lake county.

OOBSELF ! The Clark river too, is far differ ent from the one we know in ?ad of a vile and unused town. Instead of a vile and unused thing i iupen which to heap abuse and over which wc hurry in trolley cars, it lies broad and beautiful amid yellow flowers, dotted meadows and dark fieen woods, where robins and blue jays, add oug and color to the scene, i lame graL..-:, cat-tans, nines . and water hyacinths fringe the v U fa c. Ths- water is clean and warm iihtfu! place to bathe in. a ! perfect place to row, as there is little cui rent; in short, a delightful place to spend a da v. week or season restj ling and making love to nature, i The lillies within rowing distance j of Hair.moni are watched closely land gathered often by the small boys who wiii some day be presidents if jtan ana freckles are really a virtue. but the neve motor boat line now ; making tri-daily excursions from the Calumet avenue bridge to Clark, makes the' 'upper river" accessible vvlu-re there are thousands of the beautiful bkoras on every hand. Tht-y have thrived there unmolested for so many decades that now a rare sight rewards the. early morning pil grim to this land oi Hues. Looking clown the vanishing perspective of river, sky and woodland you see the spires of a town in the middle distance reflect the kiss of the morning sun as the river breaks into smiling ripples at the touch of the cool, sweet breeze that caresses the virgin lily jewels and the tall plume grass nods in graceful rhythe to the harmony of the breeze upon the reeds and rushes. Now, will you be good and take a day off or must nature vainly labor to please an unappreciative public another season. HERSCHEL. i Members. Christian Church' Kotice.

"A very close ipproximation can be made by weighing the entire amount of hair on a man's head and then weighing a single hair. The weight of the former divided by that of the latter will, cf course, give the desired number.. If you will pluck out a hair from your beard I can show you." A long and straggling one was accordingly detached, the refiner putting it on a scale which was inclosed in a glass case and graduated with extreme accuracy. "With little weights of alumin ium he piled up one arm until an equl- j poie was reached. The hair weighed j three kilograms. "If you reduce this j tr figurt1?," said the speaker, "it would j require $.000 hairs to weigh one ounce, and. supposing you have six ounces, you have 43,000 hairs."
