what It may, it has shown how sadly we are In need of some fire fighting appratus We sincerely hope ths.t the board of trustees will realize this and provide for the necessary volunteer fire department. No doubt we( have the men to- do this. It Is difficult to estimate the loss that would have occurred had this building stood In the Immediate vicinity of others. It undoubtedly would have been great.

REALIZES $250 FROM THE BENEFIT BAZAAR.

Friend of Public Library Rejoice at Big Success of Meeting. The benefit bazaar for the public library last night was a decided success from every standpoint and the committees in charge of the affair were well paid, for their efforts, as . everything was bought and the different tables cleared of their contents. Over $250 was realized from the sale of articles made and donated by the friends of the library, and the above amount Insures a fine addition of books to the library, which till be purchased in the near future or as soon as the book committee makes out a suitable list.

Funeral of L .H. Letz. The funeral of Louis Holland Letz occurred yesterday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock from the Lutheran church, the edifice being packed by the friends of the deceased man who came, to pay their last respects to one of Crown Point's progressive and talented business men. After an appropriate sermon, depicting the many sided virtues of the man and father, was read by Bev. Both, the remains were laid away

to rest in the family lot at the Crown Point oemeterv. beside those of - his

wife, who died some years ago.

There is quite a. litle talk of stag

lng a home talent play at Central Music hall, either that or a minstrel show, Past experience has shown that Crown

Point has plenty of good material to put on a production of this kind and

that they are always a paying venture, The county commissioners met yes

terday on matters connected wlth 'the

final settittfnent for the court house improvements, but owing to the absence of the contractor, Mr. Furnes of Chicago, the operations were seriously delayed. It is said that the -bill for extras is quite a little in excess of the

calculations of the commissioners and

that a good many of the sub-contrac

tors are yet unpaid by the original company and it is possible that a legal tangle may ensue before the affairs are

satisfactorily adjusted. It has become so customary for ev ery city, town and hamlet to want a 3ii

perior court or so, that probably if you put your ear to the ground you may be able to hear the people of Creston loudly calling for a superior court, a new court house, one or two additional judges and a continuous session of the whole concern with extra pay for Sunday. - Charles Elting has commenced moving' the lronse where he recently lived to the lot in the rear of the Ingersoll property on Court street. It is reported that Mrs. Hart will commence the erection of the finest dwelling in Crown Point on the property she recently purchased of Mr. Elting, the work to be commenced in the spring. Crown Point real estate is back to about its normal price and it is said

will never go any lower, tout in the

event ol the Crown Point-Gary Inter

urban road being completed next spring

it is thought that the price will stead-

.ily advance.

Mrs. Burns of Chicago is visiting at

the Mrs. Hart s on court street for a

few days. . . - '

, It is said that there are at least ten prospective customers for automobiles next spring, which if true, will send

the number of machines beyond the

half hundred mark in Crown Point.

The merchants report the holiday trade as being somewhat lighter 'this year than last, but that it is steadily

improving and may come up to -the

mark as Christmas . approaches.

The plasterers are now at work on

coming spring. Whoever thought that

that Toleston could ever become any
