Mrs. Martin, nee Kbert, is the daughter of a prosperous farmer living south of Lowell.

R. F. Nowak, who was appointed some time ago as the local representative of the Bartholomae & Roesing Brewing and Malting company spent Saturday here with Manager Seibz.

The regular services were held yesterday In the different churches, the Congregational people holding theirs in the Broadway theater and the Interdemoninational work in the Central school building. Rev. Deuel held services in the evening. He and Mrs. Deuel are arranging to move down the early part of this week. They will occupy temporary quarters in South Gary. The pest house in the west part of town, south of the Lake Shore tracks, is again in use, this time as an isolation hospital with a case of typhoid fever that developed into diphtheria. Dr. Packard is attending the case under Health Officer Walsh. Adams, the man who attended the small pox patient several months ago, is serving as nurse until some one else can be secured. The sick man is a foreigner, without friends or relatives and was taken from one of the shacks in Camp Row on the soutli bank of the river, west of Broadway. The case of the sick stranger and numerous other cases in different parts of town are bringing home more and more to the people here the urgent need of a hospital. Drs. Walsh & Templin as health officer and local surgeons for several railroads are seriously handicapped in the handling of their work as are also the other doctors, without some place to take their sick and injured. It is very inconvenient and at times dangerous to have to remove the patients' to Hammond or Chicago and steps should be taken to take care of this crying need.
