THE PASSING OF THE CIVIL WAR HERO. ONE BY ONE" THE GALLANT heroes of the grim war that tore-the heart istrings of a whole nation asunder, are dropping out of the great march .of life. Fewer and fewer . become their depleted ranks. Tomorrow another Memorial Day . rolls around. The band of aging veterans who will wend 'their way down Hohman street tomorrow will number less than It did a year ago. .Time!" with his scythe has been busy, recruiting boys in blue for the eternal Bivonac. All honor to the gallant remnant living; all reverence to the patriot dead. These heroes of ours, cover them over with -beautiful flowers. May Heaven shine on the services all over Lake county tomorrow! May Memorial Day, 190S, be observed as never before. ' s .. . THE EXCESSIVE MODESTY OF MISS DRESSLER.
MISS MARIE DRESSLER. THE ACTRESS, must also be ranked among the sociologists. She has been comparing the English with the American audiences. 'In England," says this acuta observer, "one can do one's turn, take one's time, and come off the stake without losing one's breath. "When jl came off the stage in America my nerves, voice and limbs are all gone. In England, they never let a Joke pass if you hand 'em a good one." "We infer that by "limbs" Miss Dressier .means legs and arms. She Is surely not so prudish as to deny, as did the Queen of Spain, the existance of her legs. GO FLOWERS FOR THE LIVING; FEARS FOR THE DEAD.
WE READ A PRETTY STORY of
& few days to live. i . Her girl companions clubbed together and raised the money for an elaborate funeral wreath. Talking together at night, one of them said: "Poor Jenny, she'll never know what a beautiful wreath we put on her coffin she won't be able to see it." They all wept. Another spoke up: "Why shouldn't Jenny see it? The' doctor says as she can't last more than a day or two. Let's have it made and show it to her." The next day they took the wreath to the room of the sick girl. "Jenny, we're going to put this wreath on your coffin dear, and we thought perhaps you'd like to see it." Jenny's eyes brightened. "Oh! How beautiful! I'm so glad you've let mo see it." The wreath was hung against the wall at the 'foot of her bed and there her last hours were cheered. 'c-'- THE SHARP PRACTICES OF THE JUNK PEDDLER. FOR THE LAST TEN YEARS the police of Hammond have been driven ' to their wit's ends by the subtle machinations of the Junk peddler. He was not to be caught with chaff in his crooked practices. When quizzed .as to
the whereabouts of the stolen goods he
and remonstrances were works of art. The" police knew" that the Junk peddler was receiving stolen goods, but
It was Impossible to fasten crime on him, though three years ago, one band 'was broken up, one fled from Justice and some of the cases are still on the criminal -docket. ' . - Now the police have trapped another band of peddlers, and. whether a Jury will convict the defendants remains to be seen. The authorities are in possession of facts, though they, lack good proof, that would make some men who are in the public eye in this city tremble in their shoes, were the matter to be mae -public. Incidentally Junk ' peddlers in Hammond have led astray many a bright and promising, boy. They have artfully got him to become a thief by taking from him stolen property and giving him a few pennies for it. It is high timo that a crimp was put in the Junk peddler.

Honor the dead, the true and brave, Who gave their lives for freedom's sake. With sweetest flowers bedecked each grave. No call can now their slumbers wake. And we, who still are blest with life, Who shared their toil through many days And stood beside them in the strife, Will e'er their daring courage praise. And we, who lived in peace away From battle clouds and carnage dread, Will with the deepest reverence pay All honor to the noble dead. Twas not for power or self or ease, Nor for a monarch's pride and gain. Nor for a party's whim to please, These soldiers suffered death and pain, But for the highest, noblest cause, The dearest to a patriotic race Sweet freedom, justice, equal laws And in the world an honored place. They severed all the dearest ties That bind man to the loved at home To march beneath far distant skies, All fearless of what woes might come. There is no spot that we can claim ' More sacred than a patriot's mound, While stories of his well earned fame In memory's grateful ear resound. Raise up the flag they loved so well; Let music sound which stirred their heart And bugle notes through valley swell Ere from their resting place we part. But all our praise, rites and tears Do fail to pay the debt we owe, And monuments tnat honor rears Not half their valued service show. As long as spring renews her bloom. As long as patriots' song may live, As long as man loves country home, All honor to these heroes give. Perhaps their spirits from on high Observe the tribute that we pay And with a clear, celestial eye Behold our solemn rites today. Thank God, who blessed qur holy cause; Thank him who gave to us these men. And for our country's freedom laws Thank God with loving hearts. Amen! C. L. LocHman.

JOHN W. DYER John W. Dyer, cashier of the Commercial Bank of Hammond, and the youn,gest cavalryman of the civil war, said yesterday that ho did not know that his name was to be presented to the state convention of the G. A. R. at Crawfordsville next year, until after he had left Kokomo, where, largely through his. efforts, Rev. F. M. Elliott was elected to the office of state chaplain of that organlaztion. Some of his friends talked the matter over and the first thing he knew about his candidacy was when he saw his picture in an Indianapolis paper. Mr. Dyer has a great many friends all over the state which were made when he was a candidate for the office of state treasurer and these rallied at once to hfs support. Mr. Dyer was asked If he would accept the honor If It was conferred upon him. He said that while he was not seeking the oflloe and would, for the present at least, make no effort to further his candidacy, yet when the proper time comes, along about the time of the holding of the next state encampment, if it seems advisable to enter the race, he may do so. The office of state commander of the IN POLITICS The democratic caucus tonight at Merrillville will elect candidates for township offices for Ross township.

Lowell had an enthusiastic republican meeting last week, and it is though the republican ball will start rolling all along the line in a short time.

Crown Point Star. Tho orators who will deliver the nominating speeches for the various republican candidates for the presi dential nomination at Chicago will probably be as follows: Representative Burton of Ohio, for Secretary Taft; Representative J. Sloat Fassett of New York for Governor Hughes; Senator Albert J. Hopkins of Illinois for Speaker Cannon; Representative Cooper of Wisconsin for La Follette; Governor J. Frank Ilanly of Indiana for Vice President Fairbanks; Lieutenant Governor Robert S. Murphy of Pennsylvania for Senator Knox. In connection with the fact that Alton B. Parker, candidate for the presidency four years ago. will be a delegate to the democratic national convention in Denver, it is interesting to note that since the day when the people took away from congress tho power to nominate presidential and vice presidential candidates, substitulng the popular convention for the congress caucus, there has never been a case when a defeated candidate for the presidency ever sat as a delegate in a national convention. It is possible that some one named as a candidate in one of the side issue conventions, as General Weaver was by the greenbackers, may afterward have sat as a delegate in the convention of one of the two leading parties. Whoever mentions the leading newspaper of this region, mentions THE TIMES first.
OF HAMMOND. G. A. R. is purely honorary, but it is an Honor of which any man might well be proud. Mr. Dyer is one of the youngest of the veterans of the civil war and he is of the opinion that if there are any of the older men who desire the office it would be best for him to step aside and let them have the honor, while there is yet an opportunity. J. D. Alexander was the commander of the G. A. R. last year and is succeeded by by W. A. Ketcham, who was attorney general of Indiana the time Mr. Dyer was a candidate for treasurer. If things shape themselves around so that it would be advisable for Mr. Dyer to become a candidate for tho office of state commander, there is no question among his friends, who knor of his wide acquaintence over the state, . that lie will be a strong man. The local post of the G. A. R. may be relied upon to support his candidacy in the same loyal manner In which they supported the candidacy of Rev. F. M. Elliott and it Is possible that before another state encampment is over, Hammond may be the place of residence of two of the state officers of the Grand Army of the Republic.
