There has been considerable complaint about the street car service between Hammond and Indiana Harbor. The cars on the Hammond line do not make any attempt to run on time, and now that the sewer is being put in at Columbia avenue, one usually has to wait there fifteen or twenty minutes for a car.

We should think that as poor as the service is, the company could arrange for the cars to meet each other at the places where the sewers intersect.

0 at 9 o'clock sharp. It is one of ihe great yearly trade events that the public always welcomes with enthusiasm, the final wind-up of the season's left-over stocks of merchandise and the greatest sacrifice on the part of the manufacturers, who prefer the cash at any loss, rather than being compelled to carry their goods over into another season. It is small wonder therefore, that this sale always draws unusually large crowds to our store, unusual for this late time in the season, but people who once attended this event, will
never let the opportunity slip by. It pays them to lay away the gocds until the next year's season, so phenomenal are the bargains and the savings in prices. For your own benefit and you will feel thankful to us for saying so

Yesterday gave what the knockers and yellow ones in general thought was a good opportunity to howl about lawlessness and a reign of crinn1 in the new city. The facts of the matter that those who perpetrated the crime were outsiders, entire strangers to our city. The woman who was attacked had lived where the robbery occurred with her family for some length of time prior to the beginning of Gary. Had we not been here where help and medical ;id were readily reached, it is a certainty that the woman would never have lived to tell her story. The ready response by Dr. Jones and others who went to the aid of the family, proved the means of rescuing and reviving the woman and of getting the information to the authorities promptly.

Renin. The resin of the shoemaker and fiddler is obtained from different specie of the flr tree as the Scots fir, the larch and the balsam r of Canada. It is well known that a resinous juice exudes from these trees, which harden into solid tears. The dear juice itself, before it has di!?d up by coming to th surface, is known in commerce as turpentine and Is in the main composed of oil of turpentine and resin. When th juice is distilled, the oil comes over, and the resin remains behind. When' the distillation in carried on to dryness, common resiu is formed, but wheu water is mixed with It while yet fluid the resulting mass is the variety called yellow resin, which is more preferred for most purposes because it is more ductile than the former, owing probably to its containing some oil.
