Cl'nAX ITCH IIRKAKS OUT.

An epidemic of Cuban Itch lies broken out in Crown Point and many individuals are t-uffering from it. It is said the first case can be traced back to. the time the soldiers camped here last September and it is the general belief that they brought it to town. sri.Kxnin snow at the chamj. Last night at tho Grand was one of the best all around vaudeville shows presented the-re in some time, the house was crowded and Manavor Brooks deserves credit as is evident by the S. It. O. sign being placed out again last night. Rosenda Bros., the blind musicians, who plays several novelty instruments are the feature of the show, being totally blind they must be led on and off the stage and the way they play is wonderful and holds the audience V spell bound. z The jolly Prices, colored people, have two very clever stunts, the first one being a sketch called, "Learlng To lie an Actor,, is brim ful of good comedy, and the song introduced, "Wouldn't That Bo a Dream" responded to three encores last night, and "I'll be Back In a Minute But IGot to Go Now" is another encore winner. Their second speciality is good, the Jokes being new and up-to-date and their double singing is very fine. Ray Baldwin, a Hammond boy, Is doing a clever stunt on the trapese, while the stage 13 being set for, the next specialties which are the Callahans, Irish comedians, who have an Irish comedy boxing school in which the lady is the superior, this act is extreme ly funny, they also present an act introducing a plantation scene, using a log cabin and gives one an Idea they are back to slavery days, where you see the darkeys dancing and hear their singing. Eliza Brooks is singing Dear Old Dixie and winning the same applause as usual. The moving pictures are the dog chasers and very funny. All in all the show is good and deserves a full house every night. UXCAU.EU FOIt LETTEKS. The following letters remain uncalled for at the Hammond postottiee for the week ending Dec. 3, 1906: Mr. B.

Miss Harriet Harrington. one of South Chicago's popular society girls was married in Hammond last Wednesday to Joseph L. Ben ham of Chicago Heights. How the romance between the young people came to climax diil not leak out until late yesterday. , It was an elopement on the part of the young woman and was effected under peculiar circumstances. The bridal couple when they came to Hammond for the ceremony, chose to avert suspicion by taking "mamma" along with them rather than run the risk of having her discover what was up and follow them with the possibility of delaying the game. 'Twis a desperate step but they "got away with it" which was very much to the point. The trio started for this city ostensibly on a pleasure trip. Mrs. Harrington was inveigled to go about and "see Hammond" and while she was thus occupied, the v. -. g pecple slipped quietly away to the clerk's office, procured a license and were later married by Rev. P. M. Wood of the Methodist church. The newly married pair will make their home in Chicago Heights where Mr. Benham is vXT-ploye-l as purchasjlng agent for the Hicks Car shop?

ILLUSTRATED SOXGS. MOVING PICTURES. NEXT SUNDAY LEMLEY'S MINSTRELS RAND AND ORCHESTRA. SPORTING NOTES The Burns-O'Brien battle at Los Angeles did nothing toward reviving talk of a return to the ring on the part of James J. Jeffries, the general opinion being that either O'Brien or Burns would be as a child in the hands of the big farmer. "I hanker after Just one more battle," said the big fellow today, "but the man I fight will have to be a good one. I don't like the looks of the present heavy-weights. They are not big enough. I don't need the money. All I want to do is to battle for the glory of America. No foreigner can take the title away from America without a fight as long as I can help it. Of course, if I get too old I will have sense enough to keep out of the ring." A fair sized crowd saw the favorites and outsiders split the card at the Fair Grounds today. Racing conditions were perfect, enabling the contenders to hang up fast time in the majority of events. Juggler, by winning the feature event of the day, the fourth on the card, hung up the best mile of the meeting covering the distance in 1:39-3-5. Notwithstanding what was looked on as a turkey win in the Thanksgiving day handicap, Juggler again was installed the favorite over St. Valentine. Dr. Spruil was the only one of the other four to receive serious attention as a possible winner. With little excuses for the Capo horse this time Juggler took his measure so easily as to leave no doubt he is the better horse. CLAUK III "THE CIKCUS RIDER." Antelope on African Stamps.
