Committees have already been selected to help the local committees and the two cities have also contributed to help swell the Hammond fund. The advertising committee of the local aerie has been busy too and is enlisting the aid of the business men of Hammond. Souvenir cards are being issued to all the business men who contribute to the fund. The cards have the signature of the president of the lodge and its secretary, and also the stamp of the lodge. The cards themselves are large enough to be framed. Attorney D. E. Boone, of Hammond, is being boomed as state president and already has most of the northern cities in the state working for him. It was Mr. Boone whose oratory succeeded in getting the convention while in session at South Bend, to vote for Hammond as the next convention city. Will Do It Up IlUcht. Ever since Hammond had been selected the local lodge of the Eagles

have been making preparations to do the thing up right. Arrangements have

been made at the hotels for the accommodation of the delegates there, as well as in the private homes of the local Eagles. Several projects for entertainment are still hanging fire, among them is that of running a special train to Gary to see "the sights" there. A parade will be formed in Hammond when the hundreds of delegates will fall into line and march through the streets of Hammond. Fort Wayne will spend a special train to Hammond and Knox will send a large delegation, headed by a band. The Hammond lodge is divided into various committees who are all working hard for the success of the convention, not only for the convention Itself, but also for the good of Hammond and Lake county.

II lipji COLLIDE Parkside Scene of Serious Accident Injuring Drivers and Killing Horse.

Indiana Harbor has cause to rejoice over the bright outlook for the future of the Inland Steel mills and present improved conditions. The construction work that was dropped last October when the "hard times" struck the country, has been resumed today, including the men at work on the new structures, there are employed at the big plant 1,000 men, which is about twice as many as were working there two months ago. Superintendent Lees declared this morning that there would be additional men taken on this week, which will still further increase the working force but just what number he was expecting to hire, he would not state. , The fact that the work has been resumed on the vast improvements begun last summer, the Indiana Harborites argue, speaks volumes for the future and must indicate that the steel company has reason to believe that times will soon pick up, as of course it is not to the Interest of any large concern to erect valuable buildings and install expensive machinery to merely lie idle. Superintendent Lees, however, is conservative td a degree, in accordance with the policy of the Inland people, and is not making any loud talk of what the company expects or has in view. The work in progress, however, speaks for itself. The improvements under way are most extensive. Including a mammoth boiler house, a pump house, new "continuous" mill and a blooming mill. The buildings represent a vast outlay and when completed will make room for a considerably larger force than

has ever been employed at the big

plant.

The resumption of work on these buildings was begun three of four weeks ago, but so quietly that nobody

realized what important operations

were in the wind, nor augured any

thing from it. Gradually, however, the force was increased, until now there is

a swarm of workmen employed on the buildings and there is every prospect that the work will be pushed to completion at an early date.

Parkside was the scene of a serious accident yesterday afternoon In which two people were badly hurt. Henry Henry Beardslee, who was driving a grocery wagon had Just turned the corner of Seventy-fifth street and

Woodlawn avenue when his wagon collided with aother delivery wagon In charge of John Miller, the result was

that both wagons were overturned and

one of the horses was most instanly

killed. When the rubbish had been cleared away, Miller was picked up

unconscious and Beardslee was unable to move, having fractured his collar bone. Both the young men were removed to the hospital where they are being cared for.

The horse's death was caused by the

shaft from one of the wagons running

into it.

Within a few minutes a large crowd

gathered and released the other horses

from the broken wagon and attended to the injured men.

Just how the accident occurred has

not yet been determined as both of the drivers refuse to discuss the matter.
