It is understood that the officials of the Nickel Plate railroad are beginning to take a great deal of pride in the appearance of their depot and right of way in Hammond. It has even come from a reliable source that the railroad is contemplating the planking of its right of way through the business district of Hammond 3ust as the Michigan Central railroad is doing. Another improvement that is contemplated is the removal of the old car opposite the depot and the elimination of some of the old sheds which now Stand on the railroad's right of way. " It has also been suggested that the side track, which extends across Sibley street and Oakley avenue and causes automobilists and others a few additional bumps when they drive over the tracks, could easily be removed and could be 'cut in" on the main line at a point just beyond Oakley avenue. If these things could be accomplished it would be a great stroke for the city beautiful, it would add wonderfully to the appearance of the part of the city which is now the crossing point of so many railroads. Furthermore it would be a good example to such retrograde railroads as the Monon and Erie and might spur them into an appreciation of the advantages of making a better appearance in Hammond. ' If ' the officials of the Nickel Plate railroad have the matter of making these improvements under consideration, it is time that the Hammond Business Men's association was fulfilling its mission in helping the project along. In Gary the civic committee of the Commercial club would have had an Interview wit hthe officials of the road long ago. There would have been a delegation of salve artists that could not be duplicated and who would have njnHo tniiirti'it i a nriTaict until snms answpr was received.
It i3 Just thi3 sort of work that will make the Hammond Business Men's association a factor in the community, and if this organization doesn't do its duty along this line the work will have to be taken up by another similar or
ganization. One demonstration of what
mean a great deal to the city of Hammond.

Washington, D. C, June 2. Former United States Senator K. Jones of Arkansas died at his residence here at 5:30 yesterday afternoon after an Illness of a few hours, aged 69. One Friday Senator Jones returned from a visit to his daughter, Mrs. Leonora Carrlgan, in Arkansas and Sunday night was apparently enjoying good health. Complaining slightly yesterday morning, he remained In bed and at 5:30 in the afternoon died, the immediate cause of death being heart failure. Senator Jones is survived by his wife and three children, Mrs. Carlgan of Arkansas, Miss Sue Jones and James K. Jones, Jr., of this city. James KImbrough Jones was born in Marshall county, Mississippi, Sept. 20, 1839. His parents moved to Arkansas when he was a boy. They were well to do and owned negroes. Senator Jones led two democratic presidential campaigns. He Is a confederate vetertan. The record of Senator Jones on the trust issue was the chief factor in his defeat. While managing the Bryan campaigns of 1896 and 1900 and publicly attacking combinations of capital as foes of the working people he was one of the chief stockholders in the round bale cotton trust. It was said his holdings In this concern amounted to $1,000,000. . -
Trustee Schaafs Township Among the features at the North township school commencement exerciser which were held at Hessville was the address of Township Trustee Richard Schaaf which was at the same time a goodbye for him. He spoke as follows: Members of the class of '08, ladies and gentlemen: Your presence hero toninght shows that you are interested in education. I am glad to see so many here on this, the fourth annual commencement of the North township schools. Teahcers, parents, friends, pupils, enJoy to the utmost this occasion, for it is the worthy reward of eight years' work In the common schools. Caleb Mills said: "The hope of our country lies in the common schoo!s." I have not the time for a lengthy statement of the advantages offered in this state for the education of its people. The education of children is a common interest to us here tonight. Conditions in almost every phase of life have changed vastly In recent years. The schools have greatly improved. There has been Improvement in all lines of our rural Bchool education. We have better trained teachers and better equipped school houses The question of the character of our public school houses is in fact, a more serious one than people think. We beautify our homes; successful business men have respectable places of business. Why then should not the school grounds be places of beauty, comfort and cleanliness? We know, that Ignorance is not a good thing. We do not like It especially in the community in which we live. We do not object to any taxation whiQh goes for the upbuilding of the school. We feel that that shows our civilization for the uncivilized, the savage pays no taxes and applied nu age pays no taxes and has no school system. The money raised for schools by fair taxes and aplled properly is for the safety of our country. Every child in the United States should be educated. We ought to be glad that Indiana has a compulsory education law and that our state ranks among the first in public school education. . A majority of the great men and women of our country have come from the rural schools, I would like to submit the following patrons take more interest in the schools; that they visit the schools and get acquainted with the teachera. It gives me pleasure this evening to congratulate these young people who have Just completed the work of the common school's of North township. I want to suggest to them that they do not let this end their schooling. In this age of competition, there is great need of bright, educated men
Dies Suddenly.
Address to North Graduates and women. The future citizens must be intelligent to win a successful place in the world. In the business, social and all conditions of life, the leaders are those who know. In order to gain success, we must not let our opportunity slip, but grasp them quickly. Let us remember that -a lazy person does not win, only he who makes use of his opportunities and does things well no matter how small his taks may be, or what it may be, so if it fall to you to plough the field, make the furrows straight. If it be to weigh out groceries or measure cloth, be accurate. Should it be to cook the meals, have them well done. It may be to serve in public life, if so, be just Members of the class of 08, let your ideals be high and then reach high. Be not satisfied with what you now have, but go on with perfection. The goal has not been reached. Do not think with what you have learned that you can conquer the world. You still have much to learn. Yes, we never get through learning. Be determined to get the best Keep on with your studies, go to the high schools and colleges if possible, the university. If you have to earn every cent to carry you through, sacrifice your time and energy, but get a thorough education. Your survey of life is yet very limited. You are yet children upon the shore gathering little pebbles of truth, but before you is the boundless and fathomless ocean of opportunity and possibility and as the golden light of the tun plays upon its waves, it beckons you to enter this great sea and find the priceless treasures it holds In it3 bosom. In life we are variously busied. The school boy and girl get a little glimpse of life. But with an understanding heart and a seeing eye as we look at life, we are to give our best to the world. In grammar we meet tedious rules. In arithmetic, tables and formuals, in geography we study the face of the globe, in history we learn the movements of armies, hear the roar of the cannon," see the flash of the sabre, we learn of the achievements of statesmanship, and arbitration, of the rise and fall of Empires All of these ought to be sources of inspiration to us. Therefore, go out determined to add your share to the world's achievements, let manhood be your flower and truth be your morning star. At this occasion, my friends, I must bid you farewelL Four years it has been my privilege to be among you. You have been kind to me. Numerous have been the benefits that have come to me, while I was among you. With gratitude for your many kindnesses, do I close by term. I bid you ail Godspeed and a successful career.
