DEPARTMENT 51 HID UAMI run iimiin Fred Heintz in Partnership With T. W. Englehart Will Start Emporium. All indications point to the fact that Hammond, will, in the near future, have another modern, up-to-date department store. It will not be owned and 'operated by the A. M. Kothehild company, of Chicago, as was at first reported, but it is an enterprise backed by a Hammond business man in partnership with an employe of the above named company. The report became current last night that A. M. Rothchild was in Hammond recently for the purpose of securing a location for the store, but as Mr. Rothschild has been dead for a number of years this Is not likely.. The man who did visit Hammond, however, was T. W. Englehart, manager of the clothing department of the A. M. Rothchild company of Chicago. Mr. Englehart, will, it is learned, be in partnership with Fred Heintz, construct on the present site of the Heintz block an entirely new building which will be modern and commodious. This it is intended to do as soon as the leases of the occupants of the present store rooms expire. Englehart is one of the best known clothing men in Chicago and has had years of experience in that business. T. M. Moody of New York, has, been engaged to do the buying for the new firm, in the east. The partners did not wish to disclose further particulars in regard to the new enterprise, but people can look forward to something happening as soon as the location referred to can be secured. Mr. Englehart stated this morning that he would not sever his connection with the Rothchild company In the event of his becoming interested in the Hammond store. He also said that he is the party who is about to start a store at Gary, which several people thought was connected with the Rothchild company. UNIDENTIFIED MAN KILLED BY JUMPING FROM TRAIN. Accident Happens at Heewioh Companion of Demi Usui Also Injured, Hut Latter Leaves Some Hefore Aame Can He Learned. While attempting to jump off the 6:32 Lake Shore train going to Chicago last night, an unknown man was killed at Hegewisch and his companion is said to have been injured. The two men boarded the train at Hammond, and as tiegewiscn is not a regular stop they jumped off while the train was moving at high speed. The first man succeeded in alighting, althought it is said he was slightly in jured and when the other man jumped he struck his head on the steps and fell under the train, crushing his head to a jelly. Tie train crew saw the accident and the train was stopped, awaiting the ar rival or an ambulance which took the dead man to Korthau's morgue where the inquest will be held this afternoon. When the ambulance arrived the companion of the dead man had decamped and so far the authorities have been unable to find any trace of him. Both men were Hungarians or Italians and from the,ir appearance are supposed to be laborers at the Western Steel Car & Foundry company's plant at Hegewisch. A number of Hammond people were on the train and saw the man killed. The train was going at the rate of twenty-five or thirty miles an hour. "HARBOR" POSTOFFICE MADE SECOND CLASS. Inspector Who Recommended Elevation of Oilier A1h Fnvorn Free Delivery Hailroadx Mould Chanxe anie of Indiana Harbor to Eut Chicago. The Indiana Harbor postoffice has been made a second class office and is now the only office of this class in Lake county. It is in fact the second office in the county, Hammond being the only city which overshadows it. It is said the postoffice inspector who recommended that the office be made second class also recommended that the city be given free delivery. He is said to approve of the plan to have the delivery made from Indiana Harbor and to establish a sub station in East Chicago to take care of the business in that section of the city. A proposition that is being considered by the railroads is that of changing the name of Indiana Harbor to East Chicago in order that there will be less confusion in the matter of freight rates. The people of Indiana Harbor will object to this, however, on the ground that most people think East Chicago is in Illinois. - MRS. MAL0 STOPPED BY MASHER, Mrs. Frank Malo reported to the po lice today that she had been stopped on the street last night about 9 o'clock bv a well-dressed man, height about 6 feet, smooth face, good-looking, dressed in a brown suit and wore a brown hat. If the police locate the man they will make an example of him to other mashers who, in spite of the fact that the police have repeatedly warned them insist uron stopping women on the streets. Several cases have come under the thenotice of the police, but so far they have been unable to catch any of them CONTINUE CONDEMNATION CASE. The condemnation case of the Chica go. Cincinnati & Louisville road vs. George Rlckards, which was to come up In the Porter county circuit court yesterday, was continued until the fall term.

BATLING WINS HEGEWiSGH

K Twenty Acres to be Pro vided in Which People May Rusticate. Batling Nelson has won another fight. He knocked out the South Fark board in the first round. The purse is a park for the hamlet of Hegewisch. famous as the home of the Durable Dane and for once having had a dry goods box for a police station. Hegewisch denned is an island, occupied by the "Batler" and his folks, several other persons and a few saioons, entirely surrounded by railroads. The public spirited citizens, among them Mr. Nelson, grew tired of climbing track elevations ; and penetrating a labrynth of saloons-every time they wanted to get out of the suburb, and this led to a retltion for a park to serve as a pleasure ground and also as an attractive entrance and exit from the town. "Batling" Nelson signed articles to meet the public park board and fight for the park. He went Into training and entered the ring at 132 pounds at 3 o'clock. After a few minutes of fierce going Governor Deneen threw a sponge into the ring," and Nelson carried home a twenty-acre pasture in which his descendants will gambol years hence. The good people of Hegewisch may name the tract "Nelson Park" in honor of their first citizen.. MEETS DEATH IN THE YARDS. ii. L. Ilobaugh, a Switchman Killed While Trying to Save Himself I-'rom Collision net ween Trains. While attempting to avoid a collision between two strings' of box cars last night at the Gibson yards, II. L. Hobaugh, a switchman, was crushed to death near the foot of "the hump." The man had been given charge of some freight oars which were pushed off the hump for distribution in the yards. He did not realize in the darkness how fast his cars were moving and was unable to judge the distance to the cars on the siding to which he hadbeen switched. When within a few feet of them, he ran to the edge of the car and jumped off. Instead of, in the darkness, however, he sprang directly in front of the car. The wheels passed over both of his legs, cutting them off at the hips. A special train was made up at once and the injured man brought to Hammond, where an ambulance was in waiting. He died before this city was reached. Hobaugh's address was 1299 Ninetythird street, Chicago, but he is thought to have formerly lived at Peru. So far as is known he has no wife or family. chaege evading creditors. Saloonkeeper Alleged to Have Sold Property to Avoid I'ajinjj Ills Debts. L. C. Coleman, who runs the saloon in the Huehn block, was arrested yesterday afternoon on a warrant served by Officer Shine, charged with fraudu lently disposing of his property to avoid creditors. Coleman was before Judge McMahon yesterday and the case was continued until June 17. Coleman gave bonds for $100 and was released. John Collins, who claims he bought Coleman's place some time ago, was also arrested for selling liquor without a license. Collins also gave bonds for appearance for trial the 17th. I he two cases throughout are or a complex nature. If Collins did buy the saloon, the license was never trans ferred. The result is that he is liable for selling liquors without a license. Coleman's partner, Greenwood, was also arrested in connection with the case. and was released under $100 peace bonds last night. RAILROAD MAGNATE HERE. President W. H. Kaniff and General Passenger . Agent Blair of the Nickel Plate honored Hammond with a visit for about two minutes this morning while on their way to Gibson. It is understood that their trip. in the presi dent s special car was for the purpose of inpsecting the new double track sys tem being installed in the loop of the suburban service from Chicago to Hammond. The double track has now been" laid as far as Hammond on the section running here direct from Chi cago so that it will' only be a matter of a few weeks until the improvement will be completed. MOVING DAY ON H0MAN STREET. Airs, i-rouis JtvnucKei, wno lives ai u Hohman street, reported to the police this afternoon that some woman was trying to throw all of her household goods outdoors and she wanted them to arrest the woman. Chief Rimbach advised Mrs. Knuckel to find Prose cuting Attorney noone and take out a warrant for the woman's arrest. Mrs. Knuckel proceeded to carry out the chief's advice and within a few minutes she was hot on the trial of the prose cuting attorney. HORSE REVEALS HIS TRUE CHARACTER. The plot of William Christy, bailiff of South Chicago and first baseman of the Hammond Regulars was foiled, and exposed this afternoon on Superior avenue in South Chicago as he was about to demonstrate the gentle quali ties of a horse about to be sold to gether with a store at auction, the horse seemed to object to the proceed ings, and being satisfied with its pres ent owners, ended the deal by running away. The horse was a bronco and it is said to be an elephant on the hands of whoever happens to own him. The prospective buyers refused to make the rurchase. The occupants were badly shaken up, but not seriously in

This great medical authority describes the action and use of the best medicines recognized in the pharmacopeias of the United States, Great Britain, and Germany, with numerous reference to others. In discussing the properties of Life Root, this best of au thorities explains the wonderful action of this medicine on the delicate menstrual organism of women. The remedy favors an increased discharge when the menses are too scanty and painful, and regulates the menstrual function when irregular or too profuse. Notice that the effect is to regulate and restore normal functions of these organs no matter whether the trouble he suppressed menstruation or its opposite, profuse. This medicinal plant.

One afternoon they at tended a crowded performance at the circus. "Uncle Constantine," asked his niece, "did you ever see such a num. ber of people gathered together be fore?" "Well," said the old man slow ly, as his eye ran critically over the thousands that filled the garden, "I don't know as I ever did In a buildin'. but I have to a bush-meetin'!'

It might be noted that thera have already been nearly half a million votes cast for the various candidates. There are doubtless several -of the candidates who have not yet cast soma of their votes and as the contest neara a close these will doubtless ba cast la a bunch. Judging by the progress of the contest so far there should be In tha neighborhood of a million votes cast before the contest closes. This not a big estimate when It Is shown that one condldate. Miss Anna Blaumlre of Lake Station, has already secured 61,000 votes, or over one-tenth of the number that la already cast. In fact Miss Blaumire's canvass, considering the fact that she Is working In a territory with a comparatively small population. Is remarkable. The spurt that Miss Grey has taken In the three weeks that she has been In the contest la also an Indication of the fact that it la never too late to enter the contest If the contestant Is determined to win. Miss Nora Rellley of Hammond, who has been In the contest since the beginning, is making a fine race and will doubtless be one of the five to make the trip from Hammond. In Whiting and Robertsdale It Is still Miss Nellie Hennephin of Whiting, versus Miss Katherlne Bader of Whit ing and the race Is one of the closest ones In the contest. In East Chicago, Miss Gertrude Cole Is Btlll leading by a good margin, but she Is closely followed by Miss Felicia Ordner of Indiana Harbor. In all of the other districts, with the exception of Crown Point, there have been great gains during the past few days and the candidates all seem to realize that the time for the final spurt has come. The standing of the candidates will be found on the fourth page. Society in Kansas.
