TEA CUPS 1

HERE IS NO ROOM FOR ME" Old Song Being Lived by Members of Royal Chef Company. That Hammond needs another up to date hotel was plainly shown this morning when the "Royal Chef" company arrived in Hammond sixty members strong, and after making the rounds of every hotel in the city were only able to find accommodations for thirty of their company, the remainder of tho party being compelled to go on to Chicago where they could secure accommodations for the day and evenings. For some time there has been talk of erecting another modern and up to date hotel in Hammond, but thus far the project has not been begun. These conditions have been existing here for some time to such an extent that traveling men often will not take a chance on staying in Hammond over night and make their arrangements to go back to tho city for the evening, as they are not sure whether they can secure a place to sleep here or not. Only last week two New York sales men who were In Hammond tried every place in turn and as they were unable to get rooms they were compelled to take the 12:30 Lake Shore suburban train in to Chicago for the night. Several capitalists have had the matter of giving Hammond another hotel under consideration for some time, an dif they knew the actual existing conditions many believe there would be no hesitation on their part to go ahead with the project. The office force of the local freight offices of the Michigan Central will compose a theatre party to see "The Royal Chef" at Towle's opera house this evening. Miss Beckie Muenlch is spending a few days with Mrs. li. Wiscounty of Robertsdale. Mr. and Mrs. Michael Leeney are re joicing over the arrival of a twelve pound baby girl who came to their home, 827 Hickory street, yesterday. "The Royal Chef" company came to Hammond from Michigan City this morning over the Michigan Central, arriving here on train No. 27, due at 9:55. Attorney TV. J. McAleer will leave to morrow evening for Canton, New Phil adelphia and Zanesvllle, O., where he will take depositions and from there go to Ills former home in Medford, Can., to spend a few days with rela tives. Attorney Schuyler Hubbell of Goshen was here today trying a case in the Lake county superior court. GENIAL DOINGS 111 1ST HAMMOND Two More Men CheerfullySlugged While Peaceably on Their Way. Another one of those common every day happenings came to light this morning when Judge Flynn gave ont the Information that Stein Sczypanski appeared before him yesterday and swore out a warrant for the arrest of Joseph During and John Cictor, who he says waylaid him on the evening of March 27, and beat him into a state of unconsciousness and made their escape. He charges that both men had some grievance against him and as he was going to his home on the night of the 27th, both men Jumped on him as he was passing an alley. The reason he gives for not taking the matter before the court before is that the men have been out of town and he wanted to wait until they had returned. The trial will come up this evening before Judge Flynn at the village hall. According to reports from TVest Hammond there was another Just such a case last night on the west side, some unknown man was set upon by two toughs but the fellow, whoever he was, put the two thugs to the bad, turning and giving them one of the worst beatings they ever received. After he had put them to rout he quietly resumed his way going towards Hammond as though nothing out of the ordinary had happened. The truth of the story is vouched for by one af the youngsters of the village who says he saw the affair but did not know the identity of any of the men. THUGS OUT ON MIL. John Kolyeczski and Charles Simavowski, the two young Ilegewisch thugs whe held up N. Liezer, a Chicago traveling man last week, have obtained their bonds of $75 each and are now staying in Ilegewisch awaiting their trial which will come up tither the last of this month of the last of next in the Cook county criminal court. The name of the Ilegewisch man who went their bonds could not be learned out he la known to be a Polish saloon-

THE CITY

FOR THE SAKE

OF CdPARISO Note How Duluth Takes Steel Co.'s Establishment of Branch. PEOPLE All REJOICE Fact That Plant Is Small Beside Calumet Region's Undertakings, Cause for Rumination. In view of the fact that the United States Steel corporation has selected tho Calumet region as the future center of the Iron and steel industry of the United States the people of this vicinity will bo interested in knowing that this concern has decided to establish another large plant at Duluth, Minn. Although the Duluth plant is not to cost any more than the Standard Steel Car company and will not employ as many men, the people of that wide awake northwestern city are seeing visions of a greater Duluth that will equal Chicago in size. For the purpose of comparing Duluth's estimate . - (juuu lUi L U lit; wun mat of the Calumet region in which there is many times the amount of money being spent and as many times as great activity, the following is printed from the Duluth News-Tribune: "New York, April 1. The United States Steel corporation has today decided to establish an iron and steel plant at Duluth. The plans are not yet fully developed, but they probably will include a blast furnace, six openhearth furnaces, blooming mill, rail and shape mill, two bar mills, by-product coke ovens, coal docks, shops, cement plant, etc., etc., and will involve something like $3,000,000 or $6,000,000. The members of the finance committee were unanimous. We think they were Influenced by the fact that Duluth seems to be a good location for a plant of this kind, and the further fact that public sentiment in Minnesota has always been favorable toward the steel interests. AVliat Steel Plant Means to Duluth. "It will make Duluth within ten years the largest city in the northwest and the first in rank of wealth. "Chicago fifty years ago did not have 20,000 population; it now has more than 2,000,000. Duluth will equal its growth In half the length of time. "Duluth at once becomes one of the great centers of the steel industry, as one of the chief points of the United States Steel corporation for the man ufacture of its products . "It will bring more than 2,000 high priced, skilled laboring men, which it self will add 10,000 to the city's popu lation. "It will result in the bringing here of many smaller industries using iron and steel as their chief materials in manufacture. "It will mean the settlement of the entire county to furnish the necessary food supplies, and the making of St Louis county one of the great agricultural districts in the state. It will bring here more railroads and will effect a readjustment of freight rates enabling Duluth's industries to reach a widely extended territory. "It will result in Duluth's rapid growth as a wholesale and jobbing center and add all lines of trade to its list of distributers. "It will insure the immediat edevel opment of the remaining water power controlled by the Great Northern Powe rcompany, the first 30,000 horse pow er being already contracted for. "It will bring an enormous invest ment in new homea to house the new population and will give work at high wages to thousands more workmen. It will rapidly increase the value of real estate and extended the resi dence district, crowning the hill tops with homes and extending back over the plateau. "It will mean years of unexampled prosperity and place Duluth beyond the influence of any era of retrenchment that may effect the rest of the coun try." JOHN CAMPAIN'S BRIDE TO COME Florica DIco Wlrea Ardent Suitor She Will Start t Sunday. John Campain of Indiana Harbor the persistent suitor who has been carrying on an arduous courtship by correspondence with Florica DIco who lives 4,000 miles away in Austria-Hungary, is atl ast assured that his fiancee will come to America to marry him. Last night he received a cablegram from Florica in which eho Etated that she would leave her home next Sun day, and she Is expected to arrive in New York on the following Sunday. John Campain Is making great prep arations for the coming of his bride, He recently ordered an expensive suit and he is about to begin the building of a home in which he and his bride will live. The trans-Atlantia courtschlp of John Campain is attracting the attention of the whole city of Indiana Harbor, where Campain is employed In the Indiana Harbor State bank. The people have followed his case with through all Its various phases. They have sympathized writh him when it seemed as though the girl had gone back on him, and rejoiced when they heard thats he would come after all. It is possible that the whole town will turn out to welcome Campain when he and his bride return from New York, and all over the county the readers of this papr will b interested.

These did their dirty best, as they say in Ivansas, to thwart the lovers after the chauffeur had obligingly mis taken his road and chose the one turn ing to, the left instead of turning to the right where the road leading to Hammond and Whiting diverges. Af ter traversing a mile of more of the wrong road the chauffeur discovered his mistake. Simultaneously the ma chine discovered the tacks. There was a loud report and two tires flattened out in less time than It takes to tell it. But the lovers fainted not. Neither idi tho best man nor the matron of honor. They hiked back to the fork in the road, where they boarded a street car and shortly after arrived in Ham mond. Here they connected with an old friend of the bridegroom and his best man who conducted the party to the parsonage of the Methodist church wrhere Rev. Lewis Smith did the rest.
