CLEANINGGUN
Was John Bostick, and Result Is Serious. Whila.John Bostick, an employ of the? Indiana Steel company, Gary, -was cleaning' his revolver in a shackJn the vicinfty of Eighteenth avenue and
Massachusetts street, the gun was dis
charged and the bullet entered hleg
of his cousin, Joseph Holnclk, who was in the place at the time. Holncik was taken to Mercy -hospital, a- the bullet was removed by Dr. Hosmer, and as the case was plainly an accident, no arrests were made. Many Gary people have remarked that from the number of accidents which have occurred, while the residents of the city were cleaning revolvers, the population of tie city must blunder armsmost-ofthe time.
Sell 32 Lots-
Godwin& Reiner, 723 Broadway, sold thirty-two lots yesterday to Gary and oota Bend, investors. The lots were located in the first and second Oak Park additions and the consideration was $6,i00. The real estate firm of Godwin & Reiner will soon begin the erection of an office building: on Broadway, be
tween Twelfth and Thirteenth avenues They expect to occupy it by May 1st.
The members of this firm report that
the condition of the realty market
is-very much improved, and it is ex
pected that there will be a real boom
in'-Gary before many months have past.
Several Changes Made.
There were several changes in the
officers of the Gary Knig-hts of Co
lujnhus as the result of the resigna
tion, of Hugh E. Corbett. At the meeting: last evening Mr. Hugh E. Corbett resigned as financial secretary. Ijeo S. Callahan resigned as trustee and took Mr. Corbett's place. Mr. John McCaffey was then elected trustee. The plans for the dedication of the new Catholic church in Gary were talked over at the meeting. It is understood, that the bishop is coming, and the Knights of Columbus will act as an escort for the bishop when he comes to town. The dedication of the church will take place on Easter' Sunday.
Hammond Man Builds. Excavations have been started on Broadway, between Sixth and Seventh avenue, for another building to be erected by John O. Bowers of Hammond, who is now constructing the Ohio building, between Fifth and Sixth avenues. The second building will be three stories in hetghth, and constructed with brick and stone trimmings. After this building is constructed there will be but two vacant lots on the wast side cZ Broadway, between Sixth and Seventh avenues. We deliver the Furniture and Carpets to your door, no extra charge no waiting and at Chicago bargain prices. Spiegel's, South Chicago's leading fur

From this time on it would be well to be prepared for a pang of hoboes
coming in any night and taking pos session of your house.
By-Installing a wireless. message machine in the Gary 5-cent theaters-there is no reason why they should not
chronicle the world's events and still prove an extra attraction. Just when coffee thinks-ithas, good grounds fen: complaint, the egg drops in -and settles the whole business. Ten thousand foreigners landed in New York last Saturday. Even if they do pat all come to Gary, it-will become time before Lake county politicians get In their deadly work. Gary is to have letter carriers by June 15. It is now high time to think up for some other excuse for taking you to. the postoffioe for theletteryou did not expect to get. The cases may becme so numerous in time to come in Lake county that the Judges in the courts will have to set blind tiger days the same as they now have divorce days. To the men irwGary-who-wlsh to at

must do-somethlngOTore deeperate-than

In another month or two you will
be wondering why a fly wouldn'.tirather

wandering around in the butter. If at this time you have dodgedthe assessor, don't think just because, you have moved to Gary a few months ago that you are not on his list.

loonkeepers will petition the commis

action will be taken in regard to th
matter remains to be seen, but it is
tnought there is no relief in slsrht fo
the saloon men of Gary. If the remon
strance holds out it will be just a year
oeiore any license will be granted by
iub commissioners. As It is, saloon keepers are loath to deposit their II cense fee with the county commission ers and take the chances of not- hav
ing it returned to them. The chances
are that it will be a dejected lot o men who will return to Gary nex
week after being in session with the
commissioners.

Hundreds of People Be

of persons in Indiana Harbor and East Chicago were Inconvenienced yesterday by the completed suspension of traffic between these points by the interurban railway, caused by the derailing of a
car at the switch at Harbor Junction.
Ihe car ran off the track at 10:33 a.
m. and it was exactly five minutes of three in the afternoon before it was
replaced and East Chicago and Indiana
Harbor once more got into communica
tion with each other.
In the meantime ,a few of tha ill-
fated passengers and others who took the Gary car to the junction under thr
impression that while there was nothing doing between the Junction and
East Chicago, cards were operating be

1udT Skins of Children Soothed by a
3Iild Liquid Compound.
Have you ever tried a few drops of
an oil of wintergreen compound for skin trouble? It seems to be about the only safe and sure cure for eczema
salt rheum, tetter, ringworm and kindred diseases.
The liquid is so mild that it is used
with wonderful soothing effect on the tender skin of infants.
To prove efficacious, the oil of wint
ergreen must be mixed with thymol ami glycerine, as in the Prescription of Dr. D. D. Dennis, the eminent skin spe
cialist. The compound is known n
D. D. Prescription. Used with D. D. D. Soap it appears to be infallible.
A. J. Brand, 112S Joliet street Xew
Orleans, La., writes:
"About five years ago when my
daughter was about three months old
she had eczema very badly. Her neck
was one solid mass of sores anri n-o
tried everything possible to relieve her, but to no purpose. The doctor we' called said that he could cure her, but that it would take at least two years to do 60, and on account of her asre we surely thought that her pain would kill her. We began using D. D. D. Prescription and after using two bottles she was as well and happy a child as you can see and with no mark or scar on her skin. -My youngest daughter, now two years old, started the same way with a sore neck about six months ago. We did not lose any time in applying D. D. D.. and it needd only a few applications to heal her neck. I also use D. D. D. after shaving with beneficial results."

railroad companies are possessed of
