The Ginger Jar

Some of Tom Knott's Hammond friends are asking how It Is that he is not figuring very prominently in the Gary celebration tomorrow. J. E. Fitzgerald will be the proudest man In Hammond tomorrow when John W. Kern gets in that White Steamer. John Kane has now permitted four council - meetings to pass by without getting up and raising a holler about something or another.. And he doesn't look a bit sick either. Jake Teitleman is after John Papp's poalP as far as the Standard Steel Car district goes. With Papp in the coun il and on the eve of the board of public works' decision to pave Morton avenue Teitleman appears in the coun cil to ask for the pavement. It is easy to be seen who of the two can step up to the Standard Steel Car voter tonight and say, "I delivered the goods." That the Gary Commercial club is non-political and that it was after a vice president or something very near to it is evidenced that it first tried to induce Fairbanks to be present tomor row and now feels honored In the pres ence of Mr. Kern. At two o'clock this afternoon Col. Meyer's last chance as a democratic andidate for the Tenth congressional district disappeared for another two years. Tom Swanton is exercising Lela Patchen daily. It is very rarely, however, that he lets her out on the Hammond streets but like in the olden days money makes the mare go es pecially in the morning before the streets are occupied.

Henry Schneider left today for a week's vacation and there is none around now to defend them so ardently as Henry did Oscar Krinblll has one satisfaction about those voting machines much as he would like to see them in the county. He 'expected the opposition. Which of the two leading parties is going to take it upon itself to have opposed the introduction of voting ma chines which are bound to come to Lake county anyhow POLICE COURT NEWS. LOSES HER DUCKS.

McMahon and asked him to issue a search warrant in order that an .officer might go over the premises of saiil Hollowitz and locate the hen and the ducks. HERMAN FINDS WHEEL.

To filter the blood is the kidneys' duty. When they fail to do this the kid neys are sick. Backache and many kidney ills follow; Urinary troubles, diabetes. Doan's Kidney Pills cure them all. Hammond people endorse our claim. Xfrs. J. "W. Addy of 307 Indiana avenue, Hammond, says: "Why will women suffer from kidney disease and other allied troubles when they can obtain such a grand remedy as Doan's Kidney Pills. Perhaps they were like myself. I felt weak and miserable for a long time but never stopped to ask myself the question, "Are my kidneys the cause of my trouble? I went right on suffering until at last I had to seek relief. I gave every remedy I thought would help me. a trial, but without being benefitted In the least. Finally I heard about Doan's Kidney Pills and how many rases of kidney diseases they had cured, after doctors had failed. I decided to try them and procured a box at Bicknell & Co's. drug store. I Improved soon after I began taking them, and before I had finished the contents of one box the benefit I had received was unmistakable. I used In all three boxes and by that time I was cured. I advise all suffering as I did to try Doan's Kidney PII1." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, New York, sole agents for the United States.
