ON DECK FOR BIGELEBRATION Indiana Harbor Will Let no Grass Grow Under Her Feet.

BOOSTER CLUB STARTS THINGS Athletic Events To Be the Leading Features of a Lengthy Program. Indiana Karbor, May 29. (Special.) The spirit of '76 is rampant in Indiana Harbor, with Memorial day only a day away and elaborate plana are already under way to make the coming celebration of July 4 a "Glorious Fourth" in every sense of the word. The great day this year will witness a program of events that will make all its predecessors pale into inslgnficance, and if Indiana Harbor can bring it about that city will be the center of activities not only for local patritism but for the patriotism of the cities of the whole of northern Indiana. The plans were set on foot Wednesday night at the regular meeting .tif the Boosters' club. Yesterday, however, saw the semi-perfection of what was started the night before and by tomorrow night it is expected that all of the important details will have been decided upon Athletic Events Galore. There are to be ball games, races of various kinds, a parade, fireworks by the cartload and all that goes to make up a characteristic Fourth of July in a live town, bhief Higglns and a squad of police officers will lead the parade which is to be one of the finest ever pulled off in Indiana Harbor if the Boosters' plans are carried out, and various sums are to be put up for the contestants in the various events. The Boosters, inspired by the pedestrian achievements of "Our John" Kamradt, as the local gas man has been fondly called since he won the walking contest from the Harbor to Gary on the day of the democratic convention, has issued a challenge to J. W. Ryerson, manager of the South Bend gas plant to match Kamradt against him for $100. Chance to Make Good. Ryerson, it appears, has been making a loud talk about what he can do in the walking game, and the Boosters propose to give him a chance to make good. Ryerson weighs- 250 pounds according to Boosters who claim to know his weight, and If the challenge is accepted this contest will be the big event of the day. "Our John" in the meantime says if he has the opportunity to walk against Ryer son, he will make South Bend ashamed that they ever had a gas man. The walk will probably be from the Chicago, postoffice to the postoffice at India, n Harbor. Butivhile this looms up as the most important event of the day in case it takes place, it is by no means the only thing of importance in the line of contests. The hose races constitute another event of interest. Robertsdale, Hammond, Whiting, Gary, Hobart, Valparaiso and Crown Point will be asked to send their departments to participate in this event and while the "sports" will make more of the walking contest, the hose races will be equally popular with the people at large. Cash Prizes Offered. Three cash prizes of $30, $20 and $10 each will be offered as an inducement to the departments of the various towns to participate. The races will start from Michigan avenue and Guthrie street, the distances to be arranged later. The baseball park will be in shape by July 4 and $25 is to be offered to the winner of the game. The local team Is to play, but as yet the second team has not been found. Two committees have already been appointed in connection with the day's festivities. The promotional committee consists of D. Stickles, Max Salmon, W. W. Moberly, 3. I Eisler, E. T. Higgins. The finance committee, which is arranging for the prizes for pedestrians and other matches in which cash prizes are offered, as well as for the financing of the other details of the day, is composed of Mayor De Briae, Chief of Police Higgins, Mack Foland, Max Salmon, W. I. Schutz, Frank Barker and Leo Ordner. NEW SKtN REMEDY. Creates Big: Stlrj Drug: Stores Crowded With Sufferers.

Darr, a student from South Bend, Ind., was going through Whiting on a wheel with his suit case attached to the front of it, yesterday morning, when he was placed under arrest by Officer Vacha for riding on the sidewalk. He was taken to the station and when questioned by Chief of Police Lawler, said he was just out of college and was en route to Chicago in search of employment. After hearing his story the chief relented, telling him to continue his journey, and wished him much success in his endeavor. and also praising him for his ambition. The young man, who was a typical college lad wearing a light suit and cap, thanked him for his kindness and started off not sadder but wiser by his experience. People cannot be blamed for riding on the sidewalks with bicycles when the condition of One Hundred and Nineteenth street is taken into consideration, it being almost impossible to ride on it with a bicycle owing to the deep holes.

HEARLY EVERYBODY IH LAWSUIT ARRESTED

Spectacular Assault and Battery Case Tried at Gray Yesterday. WOMAN SLAPS CONTRACTOR Seven Persons Are Arrested and Four of Them Fined as Eesult of Act. An assault and battery case, that resembled a riot more than anything' else, was tried before Judge Fitzgerald yesterday. Out of the one case of assault there developed seven cases in all of every conceivable charge. The whole affair resembled a game in which the parties chose sides and winner was the one who could have the most arrested and fined. The captain on one side was James E. Grimes and the other side was led by Mrs. Kate Bankus, wife of a Gary contractor. The first case on the docket was that of the woman who took occasion to slap Grimes in the face and the latter resented by having her arrested. Mr. Grimes is street contractor for the city and was engaged in trying to eject a butcher and his team from the newly paved Madison street. The woman interfered, a quarrel resulted and the woman assayed to Blap Mr. Grimes in the face. Her arrest resulted and she was fined $25.90 by Judge Fitzgerald. Before the case was finished it consumed the entire day, during which seven persons were arested and four of them fined. Wan Like a Ball Game. The score of the game by innings was as follows: First Battery Attorneys Gallion and Flagg. Grimes to bat. Mrs. Bankus pitched a fooler to Grimes who was unable to duck it and the ball caught him on the side of the jaw. Grimes was pushed around the bags until he scored on a decided hit by one of the witnesses, E. E. Cummings, and Umpire Fitzgerald called him safe and fined Pitcher Bankus $29.90. The butcher was then brought into the game, and was caught out by backstop Grimes on a foul. Umpire Fitzgerald fined Mr. George Waytomski, the sum of $15.90. And so the game progressed inning by inning. The only other feature was when shortstop Cummings, in the last of the sixth, sacrificed with his evidence, three players declared safe and Cummings had to be fined $12.90. New York, May 30., June is here again, the month for weddings, and which is thought by many to be the prettiest time of the yea-. The styles in bridal gowns have not changed much of any since the April weddings. , Satin of soft, supple variety called satin ondoyont or satin antique is still! chosen by this year's bride. There are some exceptons, however, for one most exquisite wedding gown was made of heavy satin in plain, almost severe lines, but it depended entirely upon some very costly lace as its adornment. A perfect model for a bridal gown was seen in white satin ondoyant and embroidered in white floss. It was cut in princess style, semi-fitting to give the hlpless effect and it seemed to hang from the shoulders where were bretelle exgentions outlined with seedpearls. The deep yolk was of princess filet lace and was edged with a band of embroidered satin. The underbodice and sleeves were of embroidered white chlffort. The stock collar of medium height was bound with satin. The train was cut in a separate section which fell gracefully from the was made of fine white Brussels net cut in Empire style and handsomely embroidered in floss silk and silver. It was worn over a fitted princess slip of white messaline. A wide bertha of embroidered net extended over the shoulders and formed a watteau train in the back. There are numerous arrangements of a bridal veil and this year the most artistic effects are shown. Lace veils are magnificent but some people do not care for them because they are so heavy. Brussels applique covered with embroidered dots is the favorite lace for these veils. Fine tulle sometimes edged with beautiful lace makes a very attractive veil. It is caught in a chou with orange blossoms and is fastened just at the left side of the coiffure while a wreath of a half-whealh of the bios some is placed on the tulle. In most instances the flowers are caught to the veil Instead of the hair, but at the same time they are arranged to fall over the pompadour. This year there are so many elaborate lingerie, silk and semi-transparent gowns to be worn that a separate coat must be had to wear with them when a wrap is needed. There are coats of lace and of embroidery and a combination of two or more kinds of lace. Very attractive are the ones of coarse-meshed' net appliqued with taffeta or soutache in a Greek key design and bordered with heavy lace. The half-length coats for afternoon, carriage and evening use, are made of heavy lace such as Venise, Irish and Italian. They are seen in loose Empire lines with flowing elbow sleeves in one with the coat. Some borders of medallions in all-oved embroidered linen with the scalloped edges falling over accordian plaited chiffon cordage loops and cabachons. The thin fabrics for summer are bewitchingly pretty. Stripes are always attractive and some are two-toned while others are a plain delicate hairline on , a white ground. There are muslins of pink, blue or lavendar and white stripes perhaps an eighth of an tnch wide and those with black hair lines or blue and brown combined. jFlures and circles are equally as charming, the latter sometimes forming, a border in graduated sizes.

POLICE AREGRIT1G1ZED South Chicago Doctor Says That Supposed Mad Dogs Should be Saved.

"The animal was shot by the police after a chase." Mad-dog item. The police were criticised today by Dr. Antonio Logario, head of the ChicagoPasteur institute, for their energy in slaying dogs that have bitten children and others. He said that patrolmen, largely through ignorance, obstruct the cure of victims of vicious dogs by killing the animals when properly they should be kept alive for observation with reference to the case of the patient. "A south side man came in here yesterday with his child, who had been bitten by the family dog," said Dr. Lagorio. VThis man appreciated the necessity of studying the condition of the canine assailant in order to insure the safety of his child. He didn't want the dog killed and intended to keep it chained up until it could be turned over to a veterinary surgeon. But his plan failed. A policeman heard that the dog had bitten a child and beI came full of 'mad-dxg' ardor. He went to thiB man's back yard, got the dog, led it to the police 3tation and shot it. That is only one example of police ignorance." The "epidemic" of hydrophobia has shown no increase during, the last week, according to Dr. Lagorio. IILL BUILD A GRURGR The Presbyterians located in Gary, believing in their own strength and the future growth of the city, have decided to erect a $50,000 church in Gary, the edifice to be located on Madison street Until these plans are carried out, however, the Presbyterians will be housed in a temporary church which is to cost $10,000, or enough to build a very nice permanent church for a city like Gary. The members of the church - held a meeting last night at which time the above plans were adopted. Rev. Frederick A. Hamilton of Grand Rapids has, been appointed pastor of the Gary church. Work on the temporary church building will begin at once. The Presbyterians have been energetic in getting a foot hold in Gary and have met with considerable success. The fact that their temporary church building will cost $10,000 is proof that they intend jto be strongly intrenched in the new city. very dainty muslin in a pongee tone had small flowers in white and dark brown centers all over the surface. A lovely dotted Swiss showed a border of hand embroidered dots in brown forming a Greek key design. Three graduated rows completed the border. A very important accessory in this season's wardrobe is the belt and it should be chosen with much thought which will show good taste. There is such a variety of them shown and one must have a belt to match each costume, hat, gloves or shoes. The plain leather belt with a smart buckle is very modish and can be worn with many suits. The dresden belts are very dainty to wear with light frocks and with the linen dresses the embroidered linen belts are the correct styles. The small embroidered bags matching the belts will be popular again this summer. The topic that follows the belt is purse and bags for they so often match the color of the belt. There are not many of these accessories shown that are absolutely new and yet there is a slight change in the shape or the fittings and perhaps in the color. However, one style that Is among the latest is a perfectly square bag with a strap at the top through which the hand may be slipped, instead of the usual handles. Bags and purses are being made of white leather to be carried through the summer months. Many shades of blue can be found in the moroccos, nnri venbeautiful are the shades of briwn, in cluding biscuit and pongee tones. There is a new fad in jewerly this season that bids fair to be quite popular. The studs and sleeve links must not be the only things to match, but there are little finger rings exactly me same, inese sets will be worn with morning frocks and the rings will be placed on on other than the little finger. They are plain and heavy bands set with a precious or semiprecious stone which is oval in shape and is rather deeply set. Nearly all the colored gems are seen such as rubies, emeralds and sapphires. Then the blouse studs are email with the stones set in either gold or silver, and when the latter is used it is treated to give a dull, old effect, because Just at present antique Jewelry or repro ductions or the same is very fashionable. FLORENCE FAIRBANKS. MES. THOMAS ATKINSON IS DEAD AT HOSPITAL. Mrs. Thomas Atkinson of 317 Indiana avenue, died this morning at St. Margaret's hospital, a victim of consumption. The deceased is 22 years old and leaves a husband, a two-year-old daughter. While the funeral arrangements have not yet been definitely made it Is thought burial will take place next Saturday morning in Greenwood cemetery after funeral services have been held at All Saints church. True Poetic Art. After reading four stanzas full of cunningly hidden meaning and considering the fact that the poet got $50 from the publisher of the magazine, it's unnecessary to search the encyclopedia for a definition of "the true poetic touch."

HEADQUARTERS AREJQW OPEN Republicans Begin to Drop in to See Chairman Dick Schaaf.

QUARTERS WELL EQUIPPED Eepuuiican Official Is Now "On the Job" All the Time Party Workers Coming In. Republican county central committeeman, Richard Schaaf, is now well settled in his headquarters over the Commercial bank and if the massive oak furniture with which the office is already equipped is any criterion by which the rest of the furnishings may be judged, it is safe to say that there will not be another city the size of Hammond in the state which will have as fine headquarters. Mr. Schaaf has purchased the new furniture with his own money and will simply loan it to the republican party until after the election in the fall. There is a large roll-topped desk, a typewriter desk where a typewriter is available to the party workers at all times, a handsome hatrack and umbrella holder. The floor is neatly covered with linoleum and in the near future signs will be erected which will bear the inscription, "Republican Headquarters." Mr. Schaaf will spend all of his time in the headquarters. In other words, he expects to be on the job all of the time from now on. Already the party workers from various parts of the county have learned where they can find him and the journey to the fountain head has begun. It is in these headquarters where the party councils will -be. held and where an effort will be made to decide the political fate of the county. In addition to the headquarters here, there will be another large room rented later on for the storing of campaign equipment. All over the county in every city and town of'any size, there will be other headquarters opened and Mr. Schaaf will put trusted lieutenants in charge. These will be in constant communication with the main office here in Hammond and from this office the campaign will be conducted. Richard Schaaf is taking a remarkable Interest in the coming campaign and his head is full of splendid ideas which are being executed and will be executed later on. Crowded Solitude.
