STATE STREET GETS NEW THEATER. (Continued from pare L) State of Michigan, in which the at tractions are booked through the West em Managers' Vaudeville association, vim neaaquarters at the Majestic the ater in Chicago. fT. . xne nouse will be modern in every respect, ground floor with balcony and gduerj making the seat capacity 1,200 People. It will be finished in old gold, white and red and will be" complete in every respect. -the new theatre will be open dally and will give the theater-iror nt Hammond and the Calumet region a nrsi-ciass place of amusement where they can feel safe in taking their wies and children at all times. Mr. Butterfield Is expected In the city Aug. warn an arrangements will be completed. The above information was received oy the editor of The Times this morn ing and comes directly from W. S. But terfield, the general manager of the Uijou Theatrical Enterprise company Jiiere.is.no. question as to Its au thenticity. r or some time This Times has been aware or tne fact that . negotiations have been, pending for the erection of Hammond's finest theater. The site of the new play house is to be on East State street on the north side of the street on the property now owned by ur. x. E. Ben The site of the new theater will be where the blacksmith shop of Charles Hensick, 233 State street, now stands. It will have a frontage of over fifty ieet and will be the most attractive theater that has ye tbeen built in the Calumet region.The building, which will be erected. win be devoted exclusively to the the ater, and will be of attractive design, r-ians were prepared by the ReedBump Construction company and by a Chicago architect, and the plans which were finally accepted are as fine an arrangement of a theater as could be devised. The building will run up to a height of two stories and will be of the style of architecture which has been adopted Tor building which are devoted exclusively to theatrical purposes. . Arrangement of Theater. On the main floor there will be a wide entrance which will lead to a handsome foyer. In addition to the main entrance there will be two entrances on either side of the main entrance which will lead to the galleries. The fact that these gallery entrances are wide and open directly onto the street will Insure the quick emptying of the theater at all times and will mlminlze the danger of a stampeed In case of fire. There will be provided a smoking room for men and a retiring room for women. These will be as up-to-date, complete and comfortable as money can make them, and will be convenience that is- not provided in any of the local theaters at the present time. . , - ' . w In it Interior decorations the new theater will be the most, beautiful in this section of the country -and the comfort of the patrons is considered such an importan matter that the rows of seats are to be set far enough apart to allow the people to have three inches more "knee room" than they have in any of the other theaters. Credit to Dr. Bell. Dr. Bell has been working on the proposition to locate a theater on this site for several months. At times it looked as though the deal could not be put through, but finally all of the plans have -ben made, the deal has been properly financed and all that remains is to go ahead and build the theater. With the success of this theater assured the business men on State street are looking forward to a great boom in their direction. They realize that a theater running every night in the week will be a great magnet for the attraction of trade, and it is expected that people will come to Hammond from every city in the region to find amusement and pleasure. A great deal of credit is being given Dr. T. Edwin Bell, who has at last succeeded in locating the theater in this city and it will be a monument to his enterprise. The other cities which have theaters in the Bijou Theatrical Enterprise company are Kalamazoo, Battle Creek, Jackson, Flint and Port Huron, Mich., and in Michigan City, Ind. SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENTS.

A few months ago the dispensers oi poslam. the new discovery for the cur of eczema, decided to allow the druggists of the country to handle it. Previous to that time It could only be obtained direct from the laboratories. Since this change in the method ot distribution, poslam has met with tlx most phenomenal success of anythlnf introduced to the drug trade in the las: 80 years. All leading druggists, including J. W. Weis in Hammond, are now carrying the special 50-cent size recently adopted, also the $2 Jar. This great success la not surprising when it is remembered that, in eczema eases, poslam stops th itching with first application, proceeds to heal immediately, and cures chronic cases In p few weeks. In minor skin troubles such as pimples, blackheads, acne herpes, blotches, rah, etc. results show aftr an overnight application.
