SENATOR ELKINS NEAR TO DEATH rALDRICH'S WOUND IS DEEP MYSTERY

IN FOUKTI

Chicago, Oct. 22. After all the terrible suspense of all those long, weary innings, the Cubs finally snaked one from the Mackmen, and no one will dare to come Hp to Cap Chance and hand him any lemons tomorrow. The final score was: Cubs, 4; Athletics, 3. This in't such a bad town after all, and think of what it may be if the Cubs win tomorrow, and if they win the next day, and if well, let's stop. Draw the blind, the baby's bathing. Some bedlam in that ninth when the dying Cubs rallied and brought in a run tying the score, and when that winning notch was cut in the tenth you can imagine the rest.

Steps will be taken at the next meeting of the county commissioners in November for the construction and rebuilding of Ridge road, from Ham-

man street, Hammond, through Calu

met township, to the ast line of Ho-

bart township, a distance of eighteen

miles, making: it one of the longest

and finest boulevard roads in the coun ty.

The plans for the re-building of the road was started by T. W. Englehardt,

owner of the South Broadway and

Ridge road properties, who together with Trustee Becker of North town

ship and Trustee Louis Barnes of Ho- j bart iownship called upon County j

Attorney J. Frank Meeker at Crown Point this week and laid before him final plans. The plans and specifications of the proposed improvement were drawn by City Engineer A. P. Melton of the three township trustees there is no doubt that the improvement will be approved by the countj- com

missioners and work commenced this fall. As it is the roadway, which is one of the most important in the county, is sadly in need of repair, and besides raising . the property values all along the Ridge, it will be of great benefit, not only to OJary, but to Hammond and Hobart and the three townships in general. The road will be improved under the three-mile '' gravel road law. The roadway is now sixteen feet wide and the plans call for its widening to twenty-four feet. The specifications call for an 8-inch layer of limestone thoroughly rolled with another layer of fine stone and tarred dressing for building purposes. The road has been a direct route for

A city-wide money raising campaign for the Baptist church, the first one in the congregation's history, is about to be opened is on in fact. - No less than $10,000 is to be .raised, more if possible, during this time, in order that work on the proposed $30.000 new church may commence. The congregation already has an available fund of $10,000, which is now principally invested in property. This is the first time in the local church's history that it will go beyond the" confines of it's congregation to secure aid and support for the undertaking. The leaders of the movement feel that they -are warranted to the city as a whole, because. the city as a whole is to be benefitted by the improvement. In some Instances . other churches in Hammond have received very material aid from sources outside of the congregation, and the Baptist church has assurance of similar aid. Kcv. J. E. Sharp, the minister of the church, is now negotiating to secure the services of a famous man who combines in him the desirable qualifications of being a revivalist and money raiser. Rev. t?harp has made no official annt f r ement. as yet, of the coming, but will make it in the near future. The Ladies' Aid of the churcU hai already pledged itself to raise $500. and similar action has been taken by tho Sunday school. The executive commltthe young people of the church will j hold a meeting tomorrow night and : will in all probability take action on

the question of finances.
