TOR AN INDUSTRIAL EXPOSITION.

Some time ago The Iake County Times suggested a Calumet industrial exposition to take the place of the annual county fair so far as the northern part of the county is concerned. Subsequent to this the Daughters of Liberty and the Women's Relief Corps decided upon a plan to build a large coliseum in Hammond for their own uses and also for tho purpose of having a convention hall and a large auditorium for use on other occasions. Why can't the two propositions be worked out together? If the city had a large building of this kind located near one of the parks where there would ba plenty of open land for use for various purposes, the coliseum could be used for the display of exhibitions anil the outside vacant property, could be used as an adjunct. Hammond is interested in the county fair because it is a Iake County fair, but it would be much more interested in a Calumet Industrial Exposition and perhaps the manufacturers and the enterprising promoters of the coliseum can get together. Next to being an important railroad center, it is of great advantage to a city to bo a great interurban center. Railroads connect a municipality with other great centers of population throughout the country while lnterurbans play an Important part in the building up of a community by affording perfect communication between cities of the immediate neighborhood. A city that becomes an interurban center will soon become the market place for the suburban population for a radius of CO miles or more. Fortunately It does not work to the disadvantage of the small dealer in these surrounding towns for the farmer is enabled to market his crops to so much better advantage that it more than makes up for the loss of trade. Gary is making a strong bid for the projected lines that are to be constructed in this vicinity and Chicago of course is the principal objective point for them all. So far the only interurban road that passes through this territory on the way to Chicago, is the Chicago Iake Shore and South Bend road. This line, however, is an air line arid in order to eliminate curves and cover the route In as short a time as possible it Is to be built through the Northern part of the city where it is of far less benefit to the city than it would be if It came through downtown. The latest interurban project which is to connect Chicago with Indianapolis provides for a line that will miss Hammond altogether and will pass through Harvey nine miles to the west of this city. It may not have been possible to have persuaded the officials of this line that it would be to their interests to tap the growing Calumet region, but it should have been tried and good results ruight have resulted. Hammond wants all of the lnterurbans it can get. This city is right on the way to Chicago from the great agricultural districts to the south and to be on the lines of traffic between the agricultural districts and the center will be of great benefit to the whole community. The suggestion that Hammond business men organize a commercial club Is a good one. There is some organization needed to give the business men an opportunity to get together and discuss the needs of the city. There is concerted action needed to make Hammond what it should aspire to be, the principal city of the Calumet region. As it is there is a business men's association, but it is an impotent organization that does not seem to be the factor that it should in shaping the affairs of a city like Hammond. You don't hear of a "Fifty Thousand Club" here. There has been no distinct movement for a "Hammond Beautiful." There are depot and park problems that apparently will never be settled. The matter of the widening of streets has been hushed to sleep. And to sum the matter up there are a thousand and one things that should be taken up by the citizens of Hammond regardless of whether they be business men or manufactures. IF THE CHECK INDICATOR invented by a South Chicago man is a success and comes Into general usage, the pio counter grafters will have brought home to them the force of the old saw "you can't have your pie and eat it too." HAVE YOU NOTICED how the Hammond business men are responding to tho call for houses by vacating their old homes and building new ones? Give us a thousand houses and the future of Hammond is assured. IT IS SAID THAT in Hungary if a man is foolish enough to marry two wives, he is legally compelled to live with both of them. Terhaps that Is why so many Hungarians come to America. A SEA SERPENT WAS seen la the Kankakee river. How foolish of it to not have made its debut at sonw fashionable summer resort It takes a summer girl to appreciate a sea serpent. "WHAT ARE WE GOING to do about it?" and "Oh Lord how long" might help some If they were directed against some of the eating houses in the city. A HAMMOND YOUNG MAN lost his bathing suit three times while on the way home from Chicago. It must have been his head that was in the swim. THE MOONSHINER'S DAUGHTER has just visited the city. If the moonshiner himself would get busy there might be a good story in it. THE BUSINESS JOURNALS say prosperity is here to stay. It has already pulled off its coat and hung its hat on the carpet in the Calumet region. GIBSON IS THE ALPHA of the Calumet region. The Gibsonities aspire to be tho alpha and omega. THE KAISER'S NEWEST playthings are a fleet of war baloons.

While the wedding pair were cake-walking down the aisle Miss Kutshot played the bridal march from Lohengrin. Before this she played "Waiting at the Church." which was decidedly appropriate for the bridal couple were fifteen minutes late. The bride's gown was of chiffon voile with corsage and shoulder medallons. The bridesmaid wore Copenhagen blue with lace Insertion. The matron of honor was handsomely gowned in a maroon empire with Elizabethian collar. The maids of honor wore white tafeta with cobwebby net corsages. A reception followed at the bride's home, 54 Bale Wire row. Among the guests were Mr. and Mrs. Rusty Riddle, Mr. and Mrs. Skuf Scanlon, Mr. and Mrs. Shad Shelby, Mr. and Mrs. Carl Kastoff, Mr. and Mrs. Angora Katz, Mr. and Mrs. Armand Kutshot, Mr. and Mrs. Winde Williams, Mr. and Mrs. Sid Slowtrack, Mr. and Mrs. Mat Mudd.

As the Hay Press previously said, the brid.; is "accomplished"' in the sense thats he can 000k, sew, remake her old clothes and trim her own hats. A feature was the wedding presents, some of which were surprisingly unique. The wedding gift of Mr. Angora Katz to the groom was an unpaid security debt of f 25 which the said party of the first part endorsed for the said party of the second part at the Farmers bank and had to make good.

Husk Chance and his team pulled away another ten inning game yesterday, and Husk himself was responsible for the victory by a long hit, scoring Artie Hoffman, making the score 7 to 6 in favor of the "Teddy Bears." At the end of the ninth inning the score stood 6 to 6 with the Trolley Dodgers having a shade on the Cubs. But in the fatal tenth the Cubs as usual started their batting bee. Hofman, who was first up was given a free pass by Bell, Sheckard advanced Artie with a sacrifice and with Hofman on second and Chance to bat, it was up to Husk to do the stunt and he did it, scoring Hofman. In the fourth Inning Jordon, the Trolley Dodgers' first baseman, picked out one of Overall's easy ones and swatted it out for a homer, which was the longest hit ever seep at the West Side park this year. The Nelson-Brltt fight is scheduled to be pulled off tonight at San Francisco and the fight fans over the United States are eagerly watching the result of the go. Should the fight be a fake It menus that the fighting game in the United States is a dead one. Britt is confident that he will put Nelson out and on the other hand those who have seen Nelson still have confidence in him and believe that Britt will last about eleven rounds. The betting odds are 6 to 10 in favor of the Batler, but it is expected they will drop before the fight begins. The White Sox broke even yesterday, taking the first game from Washington by a score of 4 to 2, and dropping the second, 6 to 4. The crippled Sox tried desperately to win the two games but fate was against 'them. It was an up and down day all around, and the 8,000 people that had gathered to witness the contest were treated to a very poor exhibition of ball. C. K. G. Billings, the millionaire amateur trotting driver, will re-enter the racing game. Billings is now at Cleveland. At the tracks Billings was looking after all good horses that were for sale, and that he will resume his former activity along this line seems assured. A rumor lias been started to the effect that the Canadian Amateur Athletic union and the Amateur Athletic union of the United, tatSsedhaonc union of the United States had consolidated and would govern all sports on the American continent. Clinton, the new franchise holder in the Three Eye league, played Bloomington a fifteen-inning game yesterday, losing by a score of 1 to 0. This is the longest game played in the Three Eye league this year. Old Cy Young allowed only three hits yesterday in the Cleveland-Boston game and these hits were well scattered. Boston had a walk-away and Old Cy showed the fans that his baseball arm was still as good as of old. The second day of the Cleveland Driving club will start today. Yesterday a large crowd of the sporting fraternity was present to see the races and the meet seems an assured success. The first day's racing of the Illinois valley racing circuit was held at Streater yesterday before a crowd of 8,000 members of the racing fraternity. Detroit won from the New York Americans yesterday by a score of 6 to 1. Killian pitched the star game for Detroit, helping out w-ith timely hits. due bill for $6, which the groom had owed so long that it was outlawed. Dr. Blowkey's gift was a cancelled account of $5 for veterinary services, whicli the groom had stood off for several years. Snide Herring's gift was a memoranda for $S which Mr. Blaine borrowed two years ago, promising to return I the loan the next day. Several hundj red days have passed since then, but Mr. Herring never saw the color, no, not even the tint, of his money. Sid Slowtrack wiped out a similar debt a loan of $3, which the groom had owed him for a year and a half. The debt is now off Sid's mind. Mr. Winde Williams made the groom a present of a store bill for $16, which was for a ready to wear suit of clothes, the same clothes Mr. Blaine did his courting in. The wedding gift of Tete Bevelstone, the jeweler, was a book account of $11 for the engagement ring Mr. Blaine had given Miss Iodoform. As Mr. Bevelstone couldn't collect the bill before Mr. Blaine's marriage, he didn't see much show for collecting it afterwards. Of course this class of wedding presents was somewhat mortifying to the groom, although he pretended to take it as a joke. It was also pretty tough on the bride, buts he could hardly expect that her husband's creditors would ! cough up cut glass and such, like ex pensive gifts. They were too deep in the hole already. Hill Like Plain Food. Mrs. Bill BSitzen entertained two dozen members of the Uplift club at the palatial Blitzen mansion in Terrace court "Wednesday evening. After inspecting the newly decorated house, including the bath room with its cupld ceiling, the company took luncheon in the orangery. The menu was cavalre sandwiches, cheese wafers, olives, ar.gel food, oranges and tea. While the company was daintlly munching these dishes in the orangery Mr. Blitzen was foundering on more substantial food in the kitchen ham and eggs, baked potatoes, corn bread, rhubard pie, tripe and other tropical fruits. Bill says: "No dainties for me in the orangery. Just give me plain food and plenty of it. and I'll be eatlsfied to eat In the kitchen or woodshed."

Indianapolis, July 31. The city authorities acting for Isidor Wulfson, inspector of weights and measures, in agreeing to a smaller fee for the inspection cf the Standard Oil company's gasoline and oil cans and submitting the proposition to the company, met with a rebuff. The company declined tho proposition. According to Wulfson the action, of the company was thd opening pun of a war which will now be waged to compel the trust t obey the city ordinance. Will Worry the Company. lie said notice would be given tho officials of the company that the regular inspection of the 00,000 or moro cans used daily by the company would have to be made and paid for, and that unless the ordinance was complied, with to the letter, the wagons of the company would be stopped and the drivers arrested. Wulfson advised that small dealers and consumers iu general prepare for an emergency by supplying themselves In advance of the threatened trouble. Has a Ixt of Cans. The city ordinance provides that dealers shall pay an inspection fee of 5 cents for a gallon can, 10 cents for two-gallon cans, etc., in the yearly inspection of weights and measures. There has been little if any objection to the ordinance on the part of any dealers exnppt the Standard Oil company. This company has about SO.oOO one-gallon cans, three-fourths of the number being In daily use. The company objected to the inspection because the large number of cans used by it made the payment of the inspection fee a burden. As a Matter of Course. Some time ago, according to Wulfson, the local manager of the company boasted to Wulfson and one of his deputies that if the company were compelled to pay the regular fee for tho inspection, that the company would Increase the price of oil and gasoline and thus compel the public to shoulder the burden of the expense. To prevent this It was proposed to inspect Standard Oil cans at 1 cent a gallon. The ieompnny offered $123 a year. And there it sticks.

Mrs. Ruth Clayton, the centenarian, who died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Catherine Lamb, at Philadelphia, this county, besides being 100 years old, was a remarkable woman in many ways.

The aged woman had given the other woman a severe beating. Von. In Germany "von" implies nobility, and all persons who belong to the nobility prefix "von" to their names without any exception. Persons who do not belong to the nobility cannot have the right to put "von" before their names. A man who ia knighted for some reason, however, has the same right to put "von" before hU family name as a person of ancient nobility. For Instance, when Alexander Humboldt was knighted he became Alexander von Humboldt. All his descendants, male and female, take the tax.

MACHINE IS FOR TAR Ohio Republican Conmittaa Declares the Secretary Ohio's Man For President. F0RAKER MEN FIGHT IN VAIN They Vote Against a "Tub-to-the-"Whale" Amendment. Taft Men Have the Power and Use It -Comment On the Action by Tuft's Manager and Foraker. Columbus, O., July 31. The candidacy of Secretary Taft for the Republican nomination for president has been indorsed by the Republican Btntt; committee by a vote of 15 to G. Tho Indorsement carried with it a declaration tli at the Republicans of Ohio aro opposed ''to the elimination from public life of Senators Foraker and Dick." Although beaten by a decisive vote, in all the preliminary contests the adherents of Senator Foraker In the committee refused to accept the olive branch extended by the Taft supporters, and when the resolution as amended was finally adopted no effort was made to make the action of the committee unanimous. Foraker Ijoses One Vote. The Indorsement of Secretary Taft's candidacy by the Republican state central committee was vigorously opposed by Senator Foraker, who had upon the eve of the meeting of the committee openly voiced his dissent to the proposition. The senior senator from Ohio controlled seven of the twenty-one members of the committee on all votes except that taken upon the adoption of tho resolution indorsing Taft. A. W. McDonald broke with the Foraker forces on the final ballot, which stood 15 to G. Chairman Rules Against Foraker. The Taft resolution was presented to the committee as soon as It had convened In the Neil House by N. P. Overturf, who made a brief speech in support of it C. R. McCoy, who led the Foraker forces, raised the point of order that the committee was not following the order of business set forth In the call for the meeting issued by Chairman Rrown. The chairman ruled that the point was not well taken, and McCoy appealed from the decision of the chair, which was sustained by a vote of 12 to 7, the members from tho First and Second districts (Hamilton county) refraining from voting. ACTION WAS 1 31 PORTA XT Gives Ohio to Taft, Saya Vorys Foraker Thinks Differently. It was at this stage of the proceedings that the amendment to the resolu tion declaring that the Republicans of Ohio are opposed "to the elimination from public life of Senators Foraker and Dick, whose services to the party and state have been distinguished by ability and wisdom and patriotism," was offered by W. II. Fhipps. Committeeman Gould, who Is warden of the Ohio penitentiary, endeavored to block action at this time by a motion to adjourn. On a roll call the motion was defeated 14 noes to 7 ayes. The Thipps' amendment was then put to a rote and adopted 11 to 10, all the Foraker members and three of the radical Taft supporters voting against it. The resolution as amended was then adopted by a vote of 1G to 5. A. I. Vorys, the manager of the Taft campaign, declared that the action of the committee was important la that it gave assurance to other states that Secretary Taft had the support of his party in Ohio, and would be backed

by the delegation from this Rtate tn the next national Republican convention. Cincinnati, July 31. When Senator Foraker learned of the action of tho Republican state committee he gnvo out the following statement: "I cannot add anything to what I said In my open letter publishr-d this morning. I wrote that letter foreseeing the result and feeling that it Mas my duty to give notice beforehand that I would, not be bound by any 6uch unauthorized action. The committee had no more right to speak on that subject for the Republicans of Ohio than any other twenty-ono Republican of the state might have had, and the action of the committee will not affect my course iu nny way. "The next state convention will have authority to speak, and by the action of that convention it will be the duty of every good Republican to abide. In the meanwhile we shall have our mu niclpal elections and the benefit of occurring events In the light of all which we shall no doubt be able to act Intelligently and satisfactorily." lie Deserved the Medal. Wichita, Kans., July 31. Captain A C. Kirk, Company F, Twentieth In fantry of the civil war, was found dead in bed here. Captain Kirk was one of the three men in Kansas who had a medal from congress for bravery during the war. He, single handed and at night, captured thirteen Confederates after the battle of Anne Creek, Virginia. lie was 70 yeais old. Uncle Sam's Ylffcle8 Plant. New York, July 31. The United States government Ins let a contract to the United State Steel Corporation for transmission towers which are to be used for wireless telegraph servicf In Alaska. The Married Woman's Sympathy. When a married woman meets a par tlcularly attractive, busy, contented spinster, she saya plaintively: "Poor Ada, or Virginia, or Emmeline! What a pity that she never married!" She cannot help it any moru than she can help the color of her hair. When Frederick fumbling dreadfully, by tho way slipped the ring upon her finger, he endowed her not only with all hia worldly goods, but also with an ineradicable pity for those upon whose hand the. yellow band has never gleamed. If he had taken to beating her the fob lowing week, had developed an unduo appetite for drink the next month and had deserted her the following year, she would still have looked with patronage upon me, unbeaten, untcqualnted with intoxication, undeserted. There is no wife so unhappy, bo neglected, bo trampled upon, that she has not in her own opinion some one still more pitiable to whom to condescend, and that is any unmarried woman, no matter how busy, how cheerful, how popular. Anne O'Hagan In Harper's Bazar. Lost and Won. "ne who judges peopl-j by thelsmoney," said a clergyman, "13 apt to fare like the man who gave a dollar to each of his little sons. '"Now, boys,' said the foolish man. 'I am going away for a week. Take this money and see how much you can make out of it in my absence. To him that does the best 111 give a fino present.' "On his return at the week's end ha called the boys to him. "'Well, George, how have you succeeded?' he asked the first-. "George proudly took $2 from his pocket.
