FROM NEIGHBORING TOWN- AND C!T " . i

NEWS OF THE CENTER TOWNSHIP WENT FAR ASTRAY. Republican Organisation May Be Continued in Fntnre. The Center township republican club will meet at their headquarters tonight for a business meeting and to discuss the results of the recent election. It is possible that a permanent and active organization may be made of the club, and instead of disbanding they will probably continue their activities for the republican cause. The recent election has shown that Center township has gone far astray from the republican fold, and an earnest effort will be made to get the renegades back into the marching line before another election. Center township might as well get oft the political map as to continue the work recently done at the election, and although Center has not been favored with a candidate recently, it is high time, politically speaking, that they "get right" if they expect to be so favored in the future. Entertains For Bride-Elect. Mrs. John Daily entertains this evening for Miss Ora Farley at the Hayward home on Main street. The function Is given in honor )f the approach ing marriage of Miss Farley to Mr. Will Ellwanger of Chicago on the 21st of this month. Installing trie Machinery.

COUNTY SEAT

Harrison Park, Hammond, a week, from tomorrow. This Can't Be True. A good story is told on a certain Crown Point democrat who is a loyal adherent of Fred Carter. In discussing the voting of the previous day the Crown Point democrat told his friends how he supported Carter in his race for Iheriff, and they asked him if he voted for Carter. "Voted for Carter," said the Crown Point democrat, "you bet your life and voted for Carter, fact s, that is all I cared to vote at all for. Why in order not to make any mistake so that my vote might be lost for Carter I stamped the eagle so hard she screamed. You bet your life, I voted for Carter." And they let him think he did. Mrs. Eunice Youche .at her home on Main and South streets will entertain a party of ladies at a bride's shower and musicale on Saturday. The function is given in honor of the approaching marriage of Miss Ray Rockwell to Victor Dyer of Hammond. A feature of the affair will be a musical program in which members of the Thomas' orchestra of Chicago will participate. A Ham mond caterer will serve refreshments. Old couples 70 years young and young couples 70 years old come daily to the clerk's office for marriage licenses without an appreciable let-up, and all of them seem to leave town happy, for how long no one knows. There is quite a contest on over the trusteeship of Winfleld township, in which Stewart won over Claussen by a vote of one. Claussen and his friends claim the vote to be illegal, it being cast by a man employed at the county farm. There is quite a little discussion over the matter by the friends of both men and the end of the affair is not in "sight. The certainty of Marshall's election has quieted the political "gab-fests" in Crown Point, and things have resumed their normal tenor of going. The defeat of Watson is deplored by hundreds of loyal supporters who nearly idolize Jimmy in Crown Point, and although they are compelled to bow to the will of the majority, there are many who remember Marsnall's speech made in Crown Point and will wait the next two years with interest to see if the democratic candidate will ful fill his pledges. Had Watson had the vote of the women in Indiana there is not a question of a doubt, but what he would have received an overwhelm ing majority. As nearly all received the defeat of Watson with expressions of regret. At the best it is only a temporary democrat; victory, the reaction bound to come at a later date will probably make many think a defeat preferable. Its high time that activity was resumed in landing the interurban line from Crown Point to Gary, and those in charge can make a hit with the population of both towns by pushing the matter to a successful completion. Recent developments have shown that an interurban line between the two towns would be of inestimable value to both communities, and would be hailed with satisfaction by everyone. Sheriff-Elect Tom Grant was in town from Lowell yesterday, accepting congratulations on his success at the recent election. Grant has not named his deputies as yet and probably will not until nearer time to take his office. The picture show and 6-cent theater continues to draw good crowds each night and the promoters, while not realizing a fortune each night, make enough to call the business a paying venture. The saloonkeepers at Cedar Lake are beginning to "sit up and take notice," and the refusal of licenses to two of the proprietors there has gotten most Read this Carefully An Acorn Challenges Any Stove on Earth This is what we call a genuine Acorn, hot air circulating flue, base burner; its weight is one-quarter of a ton; the hot air flut. is four square inches, larger than the largest flue in any stove on the narket, consequently it will give more heat and consumes less fuel han any other stove on earth.

FACULTY RISES JMfl WRATH Whiting High School .Contretemps Results in Cancelling of Gary Game.

PROF, HOLIDAY SAYS "NOAdventure of Sophomores Is Not at All to Their Liking and Still Less to the "Fac." (Special to The Times.. Whiting, Ind., Nov. 6. The Whiting high school students have been taking liberties during the past few days. which have terminated more seriously han the students had anticipated, be ing the cause of the Whiting and Gary football game on next . Saturday to be cancelled. On last Tuesday the seniors did not show up at school, hav ing made up the day before that the day would be spent in taking in the sights of Gary, and especially to visit the Gary high school. Spurred on by the seniors taking this liberty the sop homores decided they, too, would take a vacation, so instead of coming back, after the morning recess the entire class went to Robertsdale park. Professor W. W. Holliday was very angry when the sophomores failed to appear, and started out on a searcl . Not being able to locate them he returned to school. In the afternoon the truants, all returned, but were much surprised when, after being giv en a severe lecture by Professor Holliday, the entire class was sent home. This was much more than they expect ed, so to have something to do all walked to East Chicago. When they reached this place all were about worn out after the morning"s rampage in addition to this walk, and it was here the trouble began. Very, few of the fifteen had money to ride back hpme. so various ways and means were devised to raise the car fare for the crowd. They all managed, however, to ride home much tired by their day" adventures. When they went to school the next morning another .lecture was awaiting them. It was then they were informed by Professor Holliday that the sophomore class were barred from all athletics for the year. Whether he will relent or not remains to be seen, but at any rate the game with Gary for which great preparations were being made has been cancelled, as several of the best players were members of the class which is now in the limelight. - ; ' The cancelling of this game has caused the remaining classes much regret, as this would have been the first football game to be played in Whiting this season.
