Ilughie started out for the Manitou islands and had a hard time getting there. He left Chicago on the Missouri, which took him as far north as Manistee. From there he took a small mail steamer to Frankfort, and then had to charter a launch to take him to Manitou. He arrived there at about one thirty in the morning and every one on the island was asleep, and, as he was pretty tired he started hunting around for a place to sleep. After a short search he found an empty cottage, and with two empty beds In it. It all looked good to him, so he climbed into one and his partner into the other. At about S o'clock in the morning a man came around and woke the two sleepers from their dreams, and asked them where they were from. They told him their story and he replied that the cottage was there for that very purpose, and asked them if they would like to have breakfast. Luck was surely coming their way so they ate what they wanted and left the island shortly after. That is1 what one would call real hospitality, but it is not found around this part of the country.

West Hammond citizens together with those in South Chicago are using their best efforts to have the road from the Michigan Central railroad tracks, leading to the Holy Cross cemetery, improved. The distance is about three-quarters of a mile and when it will be in a better condition it will save the people from South Chicago and especially the undertakers, about three miles round about way. Our county commissioners are opposed to any plan of improvement n cur village. Thus far if anybodj from West Hammond desired to accompany or to visit any departed friend at the cemetery, he had to wade in deep snow in winter or in deep sand or mud in spring time. Our young West Hammond musicians made a display of their ability yesterday afternoon on our streets. Prof. Pugh may well be congratulated for what he has accomplished in such a short tifie with such crude material. If the boys would only regularly attend for two years more years at least, the regular lessons and strictly obey their teacher in everything, we might have our own band in West Hammond and would not be obliged to go to South Chicago or even Chicago for music. But still there are always some who would like to be fine readers or even artists, but who are too lazy and impatient to get acquainted with the most necessary: "A. B. C." Learn to creep before you run! St. John News. Geo. Miller of Hammond was a visitor here over Sunday. George Austgen of Hammond visited here yesterday.

KAUFMANN & WOLF, HAMMOND, IND. OUR GREAT

Manufacturers'

COMMENCES

at 9 o'clock sharp. It is one of ibe great yearly trade events that the pnblic 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

never let the opportunity slip by. It pays them to lay away the goods until the next year's season, so phenomenal are

the bargains and the saviegs in For your own will feel thankful
