- . A PLEASANT MEETING. A very pleasant meeting of the members of. the N. N. Embroidery club took place last evening at the home of the

f ry detail. The. bridal company entered the parlor, unattended, at the appointed hour, where they were met by the Hfv. Claus, who pronounced the ceremony. The ring ceremony was used. The service took place beffcre an altar banked with palms and brrual flowers. The home was very prettily decorated for the ceremony, carrying out a dainty color scheme. From the chandeliers in the parlors of the home were suspended hanging backets of ferns and flowers. Immense bunches of pink roses and pink and white sweet peas were used in conspicuous places in the parlors, and added much to the attractiveness of the roonu. After the ceremony a daintily arranged., course wedding supper was served in the diningroom, where the

same pretty color scheme prevailed Emily and Bertha Ebert.

The tables were arranged with bunches of sweet peas. Mr. and Mrs. Rohde will not leave on a wedding trip, but will remain at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. B. J. Smalley, 305 Soutli Hohnian street, for the present. The at-home cards read after June 1. when they will receive their many friends. The announcement of the marriage will come as a surprise to many friends of the families on account of the quietness of the ceremony, but they will receive the congratulations and best wishes of many people in Hammond and throughout Lake county, where they are well known. The bride is the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. B. J. Smalley, and has made her home in Hammond for many y ars. She attended the Hammond high school, and until very recently held a position in the treasurer's office in the city hall. She is very popular in society circles in Hammond. The groom is the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. John L Rohde of this city. He was graduated from the Hammond high school in the class of 1906 and later attended Armour Institute in Chicago. He recently took an interest with his father in the flour and feed business in West State street. Mr. Rohde is known throughout the county on account of his active work in athletes during his high school years, when he was a member of the basket ball, track and football teams. He has a wide acquaintance of friends in business and social circles, who are congratulating them today at their home.

States. Instead he handed his card to Illustrious Potentate H. E. Sharrer of

Oak Temple, Hammond, and will hereafter be identified with this organiza

tion.

dianapolis, who brought the dispensation. Imperial Potentate E. I. Alderman of Cedar Rapids, who has been a friend of the Hammond Shriners from the

very start, were made honorary members of the local shrine.

bill, on the pretense of giving Ham

mond home rule when in fact he want

ed to appoint the police commisloners

for the purpose of strengthening his political machine, A. F. Knotts was hit

ting such licks in the interest of Horn mond's bill that he was the consterna

tion of the Gary men and was recog

nized by both the Hammond republi

cans and the democrats, who fought side by side for that bill, as one of the

most efficient fighters at the state capital.

Rrpublicuiia Must Ilnve n Fighter. The Hammond republicans have been

casting over the field. They realize

that the man who defeats Iawrence Becker or the candidate of the democratic party selects will have to be a

fighter. They name over the men who have been suggested from time to time, and only when they come to the name of A. F. Knotts do they arrive at the

conclusion that the will fill the bill in this respect.

From the conversations of scores of

republicans, it Is clear that they do not want a man who will say "Yes, the democratic administration lias given us a fair admlnlstraton, but we want you to vote for a man who gave and wll give us a better one."

What the republicans of Hammond

want Is a candidate who will rip the

present city administration up the back and down again. Point out the lack of

progressivenees. show where false econ

omies have In reality been gross ex

travagances, show how the police department, which Becker did not con

trol, has been denied everything it asked, while the fire department, which Becker did control, has been given everything it asked.

Hlehord Sclinnf Wnn Acceptable. The republicans are ready to rally

around any man who will get out and

fight. They would have made IIck Schaaf their nominee in a minute of he had but signified his intention of being a candidate. Many of them are saying, "Knotts is the only man who will Srlve us the scrap we want; who will beard the democratic lion In his den.', They don't want the municipal campaign to be any more, of a compromise than the county campaign was. Kvery bodys knows that Pick Schaaf did not compromise on a single vote. The office of mayor is open to any

man who will redeem Hammond from democracy, and the average republican is aware of the fact that there are very few men who dare undertake the responsibility. It is suggested in some quarters that Mr. Knotts might be assailed on his street car franchise record, but a comparison, paragraph for paragraph, of the franchise that Mayor I!eck-r recently gave to his political friends will instantly quiet any argument along this line and besides the character of the service and the proposed extensions on the present street railway, they say, compares very favorably to the service that the Gary Interurban line is giving in Gary, and consequently the service that the people of Hammond may expect here.

Tired of Standing; Still. Above all, the friends of the exmayor say that the people of Hammond are tired of stagnation. The people on the North side have rebelled against

It and have repeatedly denounced the present administration. The people of the East side have rebelled against the delay in opening the Columbian avenue bridge and the people of the South side have been assessed to death for a widened street that is the greatest
