Wheeler has purchased the Summer's lot directly south of the Summers homestead on Main street for a consideration of $1,100, with improvements. The lot has a 68 feet frontage and runs back to Court street in depth. It is Mr. Wheeler's intention to erect a handsome dwelling of the colonial style on the lot In the near future, for which he has already accepted plans. When completed the stricture will add greatly to the appearance of that section of town.

The fact is significant food - for thought or thought for food, and the shades of the Star's former Hebron correspondent could but know of this, he would have the laugh on the "editor." Andrew Sauerman entertained a number of his gentlemen friends at a stag party Thursday evening and all those present reported a fine time and that Mr, Sauerman is a prince of a host. What's the matter with Hicks? No, not that one. The weather prophet, we mean.

The five cent theater showing at Central Music hall, has introduced a new feature to their, entertainment this .week In the way of a short vaude-

ville act at the close of each moving performance. The recent 'rains are doing inestimable damage to the farmers,. The country is flooded round about, . and any corn planted has rotted out.

GARY NEWS

Club to Hold. Meeting. George Manlove, president of the Republican club of Gary announces that a meeting of the club will be held Monday evening in which the organization willfbe perfected. In order to insure a larga attendance a committee composed of Clarence Bretsch, J. A. Brennen and Joseph Cothrey was appointed to make an effort to get the members out. There will probably be nothing of any great importance done beside the perfection of the organization. Smith Uses a Crowbar. Again the Smith building comes to the front in the trouble line this time the proprietor E. G. Smith, had one of his tenants, William Luxon, arrested for breaking down his front door. Mr. Luxton rents a portion of one of the front store rooms and asked that he be given a key to the front door, so that he could open the store when be wished. This was refused and he broke in yesterday morning with a crow bar. The warrant for his arrest was then issued. Contract Is Transferred. At a meeting of the school board yesterday afternoon in the office of the superintendent, the contract for the construction of the new Emerson building was transfered from the Standard Construction of Chicago to E. C. Gerhard of St. Louis whose- bid for the construction was $191,777. The reason of the change was that the Standard Construction failed to sign up their contract in the specified time. The company which is to erect the structure bid almost as low as the Standard company and are considered reliable. They have also had much experience In the construction of buildings in St. LquIs designed by the great Itner, who drew the plans for the local building. Mrs. George O'Donnel, wife of the proprietor of the Gary hotel, left yesterday for a trip to visit friends and relatives at her former home in Cleveland, O. J. A.

There are many rare flowers in this vicinity which Mr. Jones is anxious to make a study of, and he has taken several trips to Miller for that purpose. The poll committee of the Republican club began work this week in getting their six months poll for the November election. The committee in charge is Judge C. C. Huber, George Manlove and Clyde Hunter, Those who will assist them are Captain H. M. Hill, of the In diana Steel company; W. M. Dunn, M. M. Duchich, F. J. Canning, W. H. Kllver and S. Booher. The work will be a tedious one, but they expect to have it completed early next week. Attorney Clarence Bretsch was in Chicago today on business. O. C. Holmes was in Chicago today on business. Several tools valued at about $50 were stolen Wednesday morning from William Burch, a carpenter, employed on the Walter S. Ross residence. The tools were taken from the building during the absence of the workmen. The matter was reported to the police. Officer William Miller of the local police force will go to Chicago tomorrow where his physician will be able to put in place his artificial eye. Mr. Miller was the hero of the famous Ser vian riot in which he lost the sight of his right eye. The case against Jack Arnold, who was arrested for assault and battery on the person of Mrs. William Pfuff of Hosford Park, was dismissed by Judge Townsley today for lack of evi dence. There were twenty-five wit nesses in the case. The unidentified murdered man who was iouna Tuesday in the sand pit southeast of Gary, was burled by Undertaker Jones today in potter's field at Toleston. This probably ends an other of the insolvable mysteries with which the local police have had to deal witn in the past few months. There was no possible chance to get a clew in this last case unless the identity of the man could be established. The nearest approach to an identification was a member of the police force thought he had seen him in the city.

Q TOWN AND CIT

case was heard and many heated arguments took place between the members of the two factions represented in the large crowd present from the county line. The county commissioners requested the advisory board of the Warring township to provide sufficient and satisfactory school facilities either by means of the new school house desired to be -built in the south end by one faction or by a satisfactory transfer arrangement with Wheeler high school as desired by another faction. The commissioners decided that unless the two factions would get together on one of the two plans proposed and make satisfactory arrangements they would grant the result of a large number of voters by dividing the township for school purposes ; and annex the north end to Union. The entire session Wednesday was devqted to the hearing of the objections of remonstrators to the granting or a liquor license to Chas. Tjuppnau to op erate a saloon in the Third ward which is the only ward not voted dry by remonstrators, but which w.as recently voted a residence ward by the city council which prohibited the operation of saloons therein. The session was brought to a close in order that the County Attorney Grant trumpii-iici, might investigate further some legal points at issue. Today's session has been devoted mainly to hearing evidence In the case of the remonstrators against Peter Kruse, who wants a license to operate a saloon in the residence ward. The remonstrators declare that Mr. Kruse has been guilty of assisting in the operation of a gambling house and that he consequently is not legally compe tent to secure a license.
