City
Officials Measure the
Depth of Water at Calumet Avenue Bridge.
A party composed of Adam Kbert.
Jphn Rohde and City Kngineer Peter J. Lyons made a trip to the Calumet
avenue bridge this afternoon to meas
ure the depth of water and slusii
which has settled at that point. It was found that the water is just as deep at that point as it is at the Hohman street bridge and averaging from 3 to 4 V feet. It was found that slush was thickest at a point 100 feet

running for a distance of 300 feet,
which lies directly opposite the Calu
met park.
A petition will be handed In at the
council tomorrow night to dredge the river at this point. The Great Lakes
Dredge and Dock company have agreed to do the work at a cost which will come to nearly $25 a day. The slush
will then be used to fill in the Calumet park which will be one-third cheaper
than hauling it into the park. The
matter will be brought up before the council meeting and it will be acted
upon.
Motor boat owners who use the riv
er near the Calumet avenue bridge de
clare the river has been lowered at this point and are unable to get through on account of the muck. But a test showed that a good sized tug
was able to pass through and that the
river had not been lowered to any extent.

Old Settler Dead. Peter Vander Wall, for five years
resident of Lansing, 111., died at his home there this morning at 6 o'clock
after a short Illness. The funeral wll
he held from the family residence a
1 o'clock and at 2 o'clock services will
he held at the Holland church. Inter
ment will be made at the
cemetery. Mr. Vander Wall was 79 years " old and had only been sick a short time. He is survived by a wife and five children. He is well known here and was a retired farmer at Lansing.
ast night when the house of C. Con-
well, 3926 Hemlock street was entered and robbed of $310 which was taken
from under the matress of a bed In which three persons were sleeping. A
watch was also taken from under Mrs,
Conwell's pillow. Although the entire
house had been ransacked apparently in an effort to locate the hidden cash, not
one of the members of the family could
recall having heard a sound during the night. This gave rise to the belief thai
the burglars had made use of some
drug to keep the inmates from awaken
ing, but there were no outward evi
dences of chloroform or anything of
that nature having been employed.
The thieves overlooked one package
of money entirely, and failed to get all
that the one they did secure, contained
about $200 of the latter having been
found scattered on the floor when Mrs
Conwell awakened this morning.
The Conwells had hidden under the
mattress in all $800 which had been put away In two packages. It was the large of these, one containing $500 which the burglars got hold of, leaving
the package containing $300 where it had been placed by Mr. Conwell, entirely undisturbed.
The bed in which the money had been
hidden Is occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Conwell and their baby. It is believed that when the money was withdrawn
from under the matress, one of the
sleepers stirred, and that in their haste
to get away the burglars dropped the $200 found on the floor next morning.
In order to get the watch from under Mrs. Conwell's pillow, the thief had to lean over both Mr. Conwell and the
baby. The watch by the way, was not stolen after all. having been thrown on the kitchen floor by the burglars before they made their get-away. Their exit
must have been through the rear door, as this was found open. One of the
front windows was also found unlatch
ed. and the police have no means of ascertaining whether the Intruders
found their way Into the house by
means of this window or the back door,
When Mrs. Conwell awoke this
morning In response to an alarm that had been set for 4 o'clock she found the house In ths utmost confusion. All of the contents of the bureau drawers had been removed, and the papers strewn all over the floor. After making sure of the extent of their losses Mr. Con-
M. 1 well notified the police. Sergeant
I Hughes and Officer Harry Nangle re
sponded to the call, but they could find no clew that might afford them aid in
tracing the identity of the miscreants.
Arrested for Drunk. William Bush was arrested this morning by Officer Borchert at the corner of State and Jlohman streets for drunkenness. He will be held at the station and will be tried before Judge Barnett tomorrow morning.
No Catalogue. The monthly report for the Hammond postofflce last month shows the receipts to be $6,693.65 as compared with $10,S99.75 for the same month last year. The receipts this- month are not below the average, but a large catalogue business was taken care of in the month of September last year and that makes the difference.
Fall ,is here In every way Including the weather. The show windows are displaying fall goods. The coal wagon is replacing the ice wagon on ' the
streets, while In the country the farmer Is getting ready for the winter. But the weather, the only true indication that a season is at hand, is not what
Uke county people are wont to see at this time of the year. It has rained seventeen days out of the thirty of last month, and along comes the cheering news that the dreay weather was to continue. A cold rain Is reported to have fallen from Milwaukee to El Paso, and from Pittsburgh to the Rock mountains. No frost has as yet been reported In Lake County, but the first one is expected daily. While the weather Is disagreeable at present. Lake county people still have Indian summer the grandcat of all seasons to look forward to.
DECISION SOON EXPECTED It Is expected that a decision will be rendered in the injunction proceeding to restrain the trustees of the village of West Hammond from entering into a contract with the Interstate Electrical company, some time today or tomorrow. There have been no developments of Importance In the village In
the past few days.

office." said Mr. O'Rourke, "I realize the responsibility connected with the office. I hope I shall have the confidence of the people, particularly those having a grievance in matters pertaining to weights, measures and Impure foods.
A BRAND NEW MTADDEN Mr. and Mrs. Edward McFadden, 599 South Hohman street, are rejoicing in the arrival of a son, who put In "his appearance early yesterday morning. The proud father (the mother Is no less proud) in telling ofhls extraordinary boy said: "He shook hands all round, and said he felt good. Having made a bet with me about his weight he walked to the scales and tipped thorn at 9 pounds. He then took a little exercise and excused himself in order to retire,
saying he was not used to keeping late
May Go Into Business. Will Lash, formerly head clerk in the grocery department of the Lion store, has given up his position and Is now contemplating going Into business
for himself. The latter step has, however, not yet been definitely decided
on. Mr. Lash has had a flattring offer to go into business at Sprinfield, 111., but the many friends of Mr. and Mrs. lash hope that they will decide to remain in Hammond.
Yom Kippur Today. In every Jewish family in Hammond today the feast of Yom Kippur, the most sacred holiday of the Jewish year, was observed.

The sacred holiday began last night at sunset and ends with sunset tonight..

LAKE FREIGHT SHIPPING
FALLS 0FF10 PER CENT
A loss of more than 10 per cent In the
domestic freight tonnage shipped be
tween ports on the Great Lakes during August of the present year Is shown by
the monthly figures of lake shipments,
just made public by the Bureau of Sta
tlstics of the Department of Commerce
and Iibor, These shipments totaled

13.066,118 short tons in August, 1910
and 12,543.077 short tons in August
1909. Amounting

ly to exceed 72,500,000 short tons.

the nine months of the present yea
aggregated 4a..S4.386 short tons, or about 19 per cent less than In 1910. Of
