A HV7 PLAY AT TOriLE'SjPEOfl HOUSE DEALS WITH H'CANW, THE DEPOSED POLICE INSPECTOR, RECENTLY CONVICTED IN CHICAGO.

Graft Methods Exposed and Levy Imposed on Denizens of the Underworld.

With a splendid equipped acting organization W. F. Mann's ultra-sensational tale of civic debauchery and police scandal. "Shadowed by Three," takes its place as the first big production of the year to command remarkable attention. A dozen well known managers had shied away from it after reading the manuscript. "The public will never stand for it," they cried. Then along- came Mr. Mann, whose previous acute understanding of Just what the public will stand, and really want, has made him the present owner of a score of successful attractions. "The public will always stand for the truth," replied he.- Then, he took the play and produced it right in Chicago, where its very, scenes of thrilling half-world life had ben enacted in the courts during the McCann trial and where the protypes of the characters of the cast starred across the footlights from the parquet and shivered in silent shame. At the Towle Opera House Wednesday, Feb. 9. .

Good Business Done. Henry Bicknell, who will sell the tickets for the Gary & Interurban railroad until it can establish a permanent office in this city, reports that there has ben a big business done so far, Jn spite of the fact that the road is' only started on its new schedule. The most of the business that is done is betwen Hammond and the east gate of the Standard Steel Car company plant. Owing to the fact that the schedule of cars to Gary is very irregular there is very little traffic between Hammond and Gary at the present time.

Bessie R. HcKowaa has a grievance against her husband. She alleges that on the -7th of February, 1910, he unceremoniously kicked- her out of bed. Therefore she sought out Attorney Wm. H. Sickman and forthwith brought suit against him for a divorce. Whether or not there were any extenuating circumstances is not known. The weather reports on that date indicate that the weather was anything but warm, and whether or not the Judge will consider that being kicked out of bed on a cold night is sufficient cause for a divorce remains to be seen. Had the situation been further aggravated by the fact that the aggrieved spouse had stepped on a tack upon alighting on the floor there would be no question as to the outcome. The complaint, however, says nothing about tacks or cold feet. "The divorce complaint does state that the plaintiff's three-months-old baby was in bed at the time, and that it was greatly endangered by the violent acts of the father. The complaint states that the couple were married in Hammond on Oct. 15, 1885, and were separated on the 7th of February of this year. The plaintiff states that she and her husband have as the fruits of their marriage, nine children. The plaintiff asks for $7 a week and the custody of ehr children.

Roller then preached a very effective sermon on "Tekel; Thou Art Weighed in the Balance and Found Wanting." He 'partrayed the spendor of Beltshazzar's feast and the handwriting on the wall. The king's sin was in his refusal to heed warning, his irreverance and having passed the time repentance. Neglect to have a heart right with odG brought disaster at the Judgment hour. The sermon was simple, strong and convincing. Several persons made their first public confessions of submission to Jesus the Savior. The people were deeply impressed that everything is working together for a great meeting. The audiences are sure to grow. The people of Hammond are most cordially invited to be present tonight.

TO SPREAD THE3 GOSPEL. In addition to having the suggestions printed by the press of the county, they will be printed in pamphlet form and will be mailed to lawyers all over this part of the country and to the clients of the various Lake county lawyers. In this way it is hoped that the general public will be given a good idea of what they may expect from the lawyers of the county. The constitution provides for the holding of regular meetings, and it is proposed to have an annual banquet that will be an affair of great importance to the legal profession. .

Now that Dr. Millstone has donated his first year's salary to charity, kindly let us hear from M. L. Castleman. The path of a justice of the peace is not at all times a path of roses. If Borne use is not made of the confiscated beer stored in the city hall, is it not liable to become stale? Or is it not a fact Still many a man has kicked himself out of a good job. A little sunshine now and then is relished by the best of men. This thrilling grand jury story was cut off just at the point where the interest was the highest! One man has shot his wife because their flat was cold. There would be many Just cases of provocation if it was in Gary. , The democratic Post Is now lamenting the cause of one Senator Bowser of Chesterton. Strange is it not that the rabid democratic organ should take such an interest in republican politics. The beglnlng of Lent today will give the consumer another chance to get even with the packers. . Have you arranged your fishingtackle as yet, or are you still busy selecting your garden seeds? The Gary Coal company is offering coal at a ridiculously low price.

How often do you eat this food? A short time ago there appeared in the columns of one of the prominent magazines an article on building brain and muscle by the proper selection of the foods you eat. A good many people were surprised to find oatmeal placed at the top of the list of foods recommended; but if the article had appeared in an English or Scotch paper every reader would have expected to see first place given to good oatmeal. As a matter of fact Great Britian and Europe come to us for tremendous quantities of Quaker Oats because it represents tothem perfect food, being the richest i;i flavor and best in cleanliness and purity, of all oatmeals. Convenience and economy are served by the way it is packed regular packages 10c, and in hermetically sealed tins for hot climates. 55
