Hammond has a real ambulance at last, not a combination wagon to haul haul tho dead and injured, the rough boxes and what not, but a regulation wagon, which, owlnar to Its modernness is, a boon to sick people who must bo transported from one plane to another. Tho honor of giving Hammond thi3 up-to-date vehicle falls to Undertaker Nicholas Emmerlinfr, who la recognized as one of the most progressive undertakers in thLs part of the state. The accompanying picture will give an Idea of the accommodation which the ambulance affords, although it does not show the interior, which is after all the real making of an ambulance. The new Emmerling ambulance, which represents a litle fortune in expense, was made to order, the makers the Rock Falls Manufacturing company at Sterling, 111. having had nothing which quite suited the fastidious taste of Mr. Emmerling. The body of the wagon is of a special design, the sides being nicely moulded and paneled with one ventilator on each side and an inside slide to close it. The body is hung low, a thing which can only bo appreciated by a real sick person. A partition behind the driver's seat has a sliding sash. A door on each side, with a wide door and step in the rear, are important features. The doors on the sides and in the rear are fitted with drop sashes and have coach locks. Tho speaking tube for tho driver is another feature added for the patient's comfort. The light from the two side windows is softened by gray shirred curtains. The body of the wagon is white, while the windows are decorated with the lied Cross emblem. The arar.gemnt of the ambulance is the best possible in the interior. It is fitted with a patent ambulance chair which may be easily folded in such a manner as to form a cot. This combination chair or cot can be hung from the ceilng by coil springs and straps s arranged to work as guides to prevent side motions. Ther are also side seats far the attendants, who accompany the patient in thea mbulance. These seats inside may be folded down. An inside drawer for medicine, instruments and bandages slides under the driver's seat. As a first aid to the injured this little, feature cannot be beaten. The most convincing feature about the wagon as to its up to dateness is the fact that it is equipped with electric lights. Four six-car.dle power lamps are distributed as follows: One on eeach side of the driver, one on the ceiling of the ambulance, and one in the rear which has several feet of cord attached to it In order that it may be carr'ed Inside. The storage bateries are kept under the seat. Air. Emmerling will retain his combination ambulance for all the rough work, and will devote the new wagon entirely to the pick and the injured.

THE CITY

HAS A CLEW.

Hammond Man Is on Trail of Dastard.

Further investigation by F. C. Miller as to the person who shot and killed one of his fino hunting dogs and wounded another, has led to a clew which promises development, lie Is not yet ready to prefer charges, hut he Is satisfied that the helpless animals, which were muzzled at the time, were the victims of spitework against him. The dogs got out of his yard last Sunday, and one of the animals was found near Concordia cemetery.

DEATH OF JOHN GRACE

of Terre Jlaute and G. V. Henries of Mount Vernon aa well. When the time came to hold the democratic legislative caucus to nominate a man for the senate, Slack did not show up with the strength thatihe had expected or that people gave him credit with having at his, back. He was not able to muster more than about fifteen votes at his highest tide, and eventually most of these got away from him and went to Shlvely. For a time it was understood that the Slack vote would go to Kern, and had it done so Kern would have been nominated. "While it was never

given out definitely that such was the

case, it was the general belief that some kind of an understanding was reached between the Kern forces and the Slack forces by which they were to combine to preventithe nomination of Shively, who was backed by the brewing interests. Up to that tim-e Slack had always fought the brewing interests and the Influence of Tom Taggart, who heads the brewery , forces in the party-in this state. Thus'he had Incurred the enmity of Taggart, and it was given out that it was to be a fight between alack and Taggart for supremacy. Slack ran so strong in the race for the nomination for governor last year that he gave the brewing forces an awful scare and forced their candidate, S. M. . Ralston of Ijebanon, to retire from the race when lie was in the lead on the balloting in the convention and Slack was second. Then the Ralston forces went to Marshall and nominated him. Following the caucus there were all

kinds of citarges of double-crossing made by the Kern forces. Kern, for a time, threatened to Issue a statement setting forth at length the perfiidy which

he said had been practiced against him and to name the men who did.it, but he changed his mind and the statement was never issued. Just how the Slack votes was supposed to be running as the anti-brewery candidate was never satisfactorily explained. All any one knew about it was that it happened that way. Of course. Kern also had the (Opposition of Senator Steve Fleming'of Fort Wayne, and nothing ever pleased Fleming more than did the defeat. of Kern, for they are bitter political enemies. Whether Fleming succeeded in dragging some of the Slack votes into the Shlvely ramp has never'become knofwn, though Fleming was working all 'the time for Hoffman. So the situation at the. finish ofthe senatorial fight was a badimix-up. Bad blood had been stirred up in theparty

ranks bad feeling that Is likeiyixo last for a long time. Further surprise was added to the situation later when Slack appeared

at the legislature and became a quiet lobbyist for some of the tilings that the brewery wing of the democratic party wished to have puUthrough. He did not use a brass band in doingthis, but his work was nevertheless effective. There is a suspicion .among ; the politicians that Slack is trimming' his sails for the nomnation for United States senator in 1912 in case the democrats carry the legislature. It is also suspected that he will not have the same kind of opposition from the brewterles next time that he had the last time, and fresh fuel is added to the fire of this belief by the fact that he and Judge Shea were in Washington at the same time and that both attended the inference of Indiana democratic con

gressmen. This Is the reason why their

IT HEEDS A GLEANING

Cots Doing Well. Speaking- about the hot weather there is nothing- like it to boost tlie stock of the tent cots, a little summer luxury manufactured right here in Hammond, by the Knterprise Bed company. This is the first year that they have been on the market, and the reports from the factory are very encouraging. Thousands of them have already gone out all over the country, and where they are being used they earn praise and endorsement, arid here they have recived a hearty reception. The tent cot is to simple that the Enterprise company can afford to put them on tlie market at a very low cost.

Lowell Paper Comments on Times Anti-Vice Crusade.

Says the Ijoweil Souvenir: 'The Times is going after Gary's 'red light' district strong, having sent reporters through the numerous dives to Investigate them. If it Is as bad as stated it would seem that it needs a cleaning. It seems too bad that there must be a 'higher power' than the police power In a city, and that viola

tions of the law are permitted to flourish. The Tom Knotts administration Is strongly criticised in this connec

tion."

John W. Kern has never said. "wheth

for United States senator next year. It is said, however, that he believes ajplan Is being framed up to keep the nomination away from him In case hedecides to become a candidate, , and that this meeting of Shea and Slack in

Washington 13 regarded as proof of

this. The word from Washington is that

all of the democratic members of congress from Indiana will be candidates again next year and that more hard work is to be done in this state than in any other In the Union in the

effort to tioid the eleven districts which the democrats now have. In doing this the organization will also try to elect a majority of the legislature in order to make sure of another senator, and this is the feature of the situation that is said to be of special interest to Slack.

TIMKS' HI Ki: l AT TIIK STATE CAPITAL. Indianapolis, Ind., July 2S. A choice ibt of poiitieil gossip lias been started in democratic circles by the visit to Washington of Jula;e Joseph Shea of Seymour, Ind.. and I ICrt Slack of Franklin. Ind., at the same time. This

information of itself might not cause

any excitement were It not for the fact that Judge Shea went east a few weeks ago with Crawford Fairbanks, the Terre Unite brewer. Judge Sh.-i! and Fairbanks went east together in Fairbanks' automobile. They went directly to New York, and it is only in the last few days that Shea has gont to Washington. When they got to New York Senator Shively went up from Washington to meet Judge Shea and together Shea and Shlvely went to Manhattan Feach for a week. Whether Fairbanks was with them there has not jet become known here. A few days ago Shea p.nii Shlvely- went on to Washington, and about the same time Siack met them there at least, he arrived in Washington about the same time. The dispatches from Washington tell about a meeting that was held in the rooms of Congressman Lincoln Dixon or Fourth Indiana district Monday

nigt, which was atter.eded by all of the eleven democratic? congressmen from Indiana, at which campaign plans for next year in Indiana were talked over. Slii-a was there and so was Slack, and Senator Shively also attended. Some of the fellows who keep a close eye on politics say that it is peculiar that Slack and Shea should both arrive in Washington at the same timejust in time to attend the democratic

caucus of Indiana congressmen. The

name of Fairbanks does not figure in the dispatches, so if ho is in Washington with them he is in the background. It is said, however, that lie has not yet returned home from the east. It will be remembered that Slack was

last winter against Shively. Siack was regarded as the one candidate in the race who was running in opposition to the brewery interests, and tlie one man whom the breweries especially wished to beat. It will be remembered also that

Judge Shea was the campaign manager j for Shlvely during that race and that ' he did a mighty good job of it, too, for

he landed his man Jn the senatorial chair, defeating not only Siack, but John W. Kern of this city, Edward G. Hoffman of Fort Wayne, John E. Lamb
