OVER THE

POSTS MAKE SET GAIXS. That the G. A. R Posts of Indiana fcave made an aggregate net gain in membership of 12 In the last six months In spite of the inroads made by death is shown by the semi-annual report of the Indiana department G. A. R., which has Just been completed by O. J. It. Fesler, assistant adjutant general. The total net gain during the two semi-annual periods previously to the last one. which apded June 30, was only thirty. 'The department is In excellent condition," said Colonel Fesler, "and all the posts are doing well, with promises for even greater gains during the lxjxt period." During the last six months as shown by the report, there were 298 deaths in the G. A. R. ranks. The number of deaths each year is increasing. During the first period of 1905 there were only 196 deaths. Ths number of deaths in the last period of 1907 was 300. The number of losses by suspension during the last six months was 253. The number of losses from this source in the previous period was 402. Comparison of these figures is encouraging, because it shows that the O. A. R. men are more prompt in paying their dues and, apparently, are taking more interest than usual in the organization. Most of the suspensions are a result of the non-payment of dues. IN HONOR OF MR. GOST1.IX. The members of the University Club and a few friends gathered in the Club rooms last evening, where they enjoyed a smoker and Dutch lunch in honor of Harvey Gostlin.

F 8 WOLF E A RE If Tradesmen Believe if People Are Offered Inducements They Will Buy. IS RECORD-BREAKING DAY Sale at Bis Store Is Attracting a Great Deal of Attention in Town and Vicinity. Kaufmann & Wolf, of the Lion Store are of the opinion that the people or Hammond have money in their pockets and if there are only inducements enough offered they will go down in their stockings and get the money with which to make purchases. This has been proven conclusively in the great closing out sale of manufac turers' surplus stock, which has been going on this week and will be con tinued until Saturday. It is a remarkable fact that the Lion Store did a bigger business yesterday than it had done in any single day this year. That is remarkable considering the fact that the so-called hard times been stifling trade for the past six months. It Ia a 111k Sale. The great sale, which is now on, ap plies to all departments and if the sales of the first few days keep up the rest of the week, it will be a record-breaker Yesterday in the afternoon the store was so crowded with bargain seekers that it was almost impossible to move about. The opening day was a success from every point of view. Mr. Wolf says that it shows the peo pie have money yet and that they can be induced to spend it if they are shown bargains that are sufficiently attractive. Sale Attracts Many. The big store Is attracting hun dreds of people to Hammond who would not come here were it not for the fact that they can do better here than they can anywhere else in the region out side of Hammond. With the promise of the factories opening up this fall and in view or the fact that a great many men have al ready been put to work, Mr. Kaufmann thinks that the prospects are indeed very promising.

It pictures scenes and people In the south, not in an ideal way, but aa every ona knows them to be. It holds, so to speak, the mirror up to nature, and if, in its closing scenes, it makes one cry Just a little bit, it Is because of that touch of hu man nature that is placed there so deft ly that one forgets that he is looking on a mimic stage. Every one who ap predates the good that the theater can do. will like Miss Poynter's play. It is all clean and wholesome; its atmos phere is refreshing, and there is nothing suggestive in the story that it unfords. It humor is crisp, q,uaint and occasionally cracks like a whip. Its rugged epigrams are delightful and its bits of homely philosophy are remembered and laughed at over the and over again. The presentation of the play Jat the Towle opera house commencing next Sunday will introduce a carefully selected company. The engagement promises to be a record breaker. NEW MILLINERY SHOP TO OPEN. 911 km Mary S punier Will Locate at State Stmt After Sept. 1. .Ml) Miss Mary Kpanier, September, will start on the first of in the millinery business at 249 State street and will have ona of the finest and nicest stocked millinery parlors In the city.

General McDonald in very optimistic re garding the future of that factory region. Value of a Smile. A pretty smile may make one's fortune. Few women realize the value of a smile. MoBt smiles are useless. The smile that counts is one that charms men, and that will secure favors here and service there, and go twice as far as a tip or a command. This smile has radiance. Is produced by the eyes as well as by the lips. and. above all, is never mechanical. Strand Magazine. A Word from Joeh Wise. "Tho' corporations ain't got no souls, they're seldom on their uppers."

The Ginger Jar

The county jail is being built with a view to pretect prisoners in case of a riot. Let ua hope that it is a wasted expenditure of money. The fact that the oil in the soup burned last Sunday morning, speaks quite well for the kind of soup that the Gary hotel serves. Even if the small sized blaze did throw the guests into a panic. Let um hope that they arc breaking the news to Mr. Kern gently. He is g4xing along in years and to over whelm him with information of which he was ignorant, might put him out of the running. Yea, Mr. Wlnirfleld, we are anxious ly waiting to see the Interior of your new opera house. To hear some of the admirers of Laura Fay talk, one might believe that W. J. McAleer owns only a one-tenth interest in the mare. In other word, the publisher of The Calumet Region Railway Guide. Mr. Woods would like to tell the public when and where to get off at. Sam Abalman is out after the Irish vote now. Ho is wearing a green neck tie as a part of the scheme. . notification committee ought to be appointed to warn the muskellunge of the Wisconsin waters that Col. Meyers and Doc Kelly will be up there shortly. Our bny-nway-from-home people might sit up and take notice after that little deal of underbidding the Chicago people have been ruled off by E. C.

At an informal reception to Harvey Gost lin of the University Club, the various wedding marches were repeated for the benefit of the honored guest. It was all done to get him used to it. The vialtinK Iaitheran ministers have the key . to th city today. Hammond certainly bids them "Welcome." Ia life worth living f It certainly is when one leaves as many friends as the late Oscar Mallett. The Street Car Company has begun to paint its guy poles through the city of Hammond. , Isn't that a rather sudden move after the agreement was onlydrawn up two weeks ago? At any rate It is very unusual. While they are having their political pow wow in Indianapolis, Lake county need not feel lonesome.. For haven't we some of the republican big guns right, in our own county these days? The Lake County Fair. Association took in about $6,000 during the past week. .With these figures in hand we can all get busy now and figure it out where It came from and where it goes to, and if there is not enough campaign material left, rub it into the as sociation, for not having made more. DETECTIVE RECOVERING ter After His Dangerous Accident on Saturday. Peter Young, who was found injured in the Erie stine line yards last Sat urday evening, is still unable to ex plain how the accident from which he is suffering now befell him. The old man spends most of his time Bleeping and since he was taken to the hospi tal he has spoken very rarely. He is rational, however, when awake, but does not volunteer conversation. When his wife asked him this morning while he was awake what had befell him he answered that he did not know, and added that his arm pained him. His arm was broken in the accident which is believed was due to Mr. Toung stepping into the path of a train. He was employed by the Erie Railroad company as night watchman. His con dition is Improving and unless com plications set In no serious results are feared. WILL STOP AT VALPO FOE HAMMOND PATE0NS. Mckel IMiHe Hallrotwl Decides to Ac eoinuiorfate Knlr Ylxltora.

POLICE COURT NEWS Police Are Bothered. police are in a quandary as to to do with the horde of boy The. what thieves who swarm over into Hammond from West Hammond and steal everything they can lay their hands on. Today the youngsters became so bold that several boys ranging between 6 and 10 years of age. actually broke into the residence of Henry C. Zoll in 111 East Ogdin street by smashing a window glass and took a saw, a hammer, a monkey wrench and several other small tools. When the officer brought the youngulers to the police station It looked as though he had the leaders of a kinder garten in tow while the rest of the class followed him to the station. The boys who were arrested for breaking Into the house were Walter BilUhl of 23 Condit street and Mike Wachewirz of 517 State Line street. The boys are said to have all of the criminal instincts of a hardened criminal and the police are considering the matter of having them taken away from their parents. Lads Steal Tools.
