But not to be outdone, the Longs came back strong In the second and third contests, winning the deciding two games. Charley thinks he has something on his old rival Porta this morning and It walking around town wearing one of those smiles that won't come off. "We turned that trick Just as I said we would." said Charley this morning, "and If Ports thinks he has anything on us they will have to show me and we will be waiting for them again." Although the scores were not very high some good pin work was done, which wag enjoyed by a good-sized crowd. The last game was interesting and hotly contested, as the Long delegation only pulled out with three pins to the good. Both teams scored over the 800 mark, the Longs making 814. while the Portzs got 811. Ports All Stars. ' 1st. 2d. 8d.

Style not always Durability It is always possible to obtain stylish and pretty piano cases at the expense of durability and tone. But piano buyers are learning that it is a grave mistake to sacrifice durability and tone just for case beauty. To get the best results it is necessary to get the best piano. In buying a STRAUBE you are buying a piano that has been tested and tried and found up to the standard. Beautiful in case, design; durable in workmanship and material. And tone is the one predominating quality above everything else in the STRAUBE piano. All our pianos sold on the

HESSVILLE MAN DIES.

Ernest Fay Hulber, one of the well-

nown and respected young men of

Hessville, died at the home of his par'

ents there yesterday morning at 11

o'clock following- an illness of nearly

three weeks.

The funeral arrangements have not

been completed and will be announced

later.

His father, N. a Hulber. is a well

known railroad man, being employed

on the C, I. S. as an engineer.

Hulber is 21 years old and leaves a

large circle of friends who will mourn

the news of his death. He was em

ployed as a bollermaker apprentice and

was beloved by an nis leuow . asso

elates. Besides his father and mother he Is survived by a brother and three

sisters.

If you want to see Eva Tangway

shoved on the back seat with the bun

dles. If you want to see a couple of girls with enough energy for six. If you want to see a dance which reveals the grace of awkwardness; you must see the McConnell sisters at the Orpheum in their eccentric dances. They are the best team ever seen in Hammond on any stage.

There is no way of describing what

they do. You have simply to watch them do It. It has been estimated that the energy they expend in their fifteen minute turn would run all of the street cars on the Green line for that length of time.

This may or may not be so, but the

act is worth the money, and it has brought down the house every time It has been seen here The girls are comely and shapely -and are unquestionably the hit of the bill.

Romona Ortes, the Spanish wire

walker, has a good act. and has'- won the approval of the audience. In fact, the whole bill is a strenuous one. Devine and Williams, the traveling sales

man and the female drummer, get in some heavy work In their clever act. Theodore Fuller Smith has a musical

novelty.

Beginning with next week the 'Flower of the Kanch," with the comapny that expected to appear in Hammond at

regular 50. 75 and 1 prices will be

seen at the Orpheum for 10 and 20 cents. Can you beat It?

A large crowd assembled at the First Christian church last evening to hear Evangelist Snodgrass speak , on the subject, "The Lifting Up." It was one of the most powerful addresses yet delivered. The evangelist is calling calling things by their right names, and last night he rebuked sin in scathing terms. He has a way of expressing himself peculiarly his own and while in the very plainest of terms, yet

in that earnest and sincerity that wins men. Rev. Snodgrass holds his audiences spellbound from first to last. Many times last evening the audience was taken down with the wit and humor of the speaker. "While the sermons are filled with the deepest of thought and logic, the evangelist has no trouble In holding his audiences by the use of his apt illustrations and witty statements. At the invitation last evening three came forward to confess their faith in Christ. A great service Is expected tonight. The sermon subject will be "Seven Devils of Hammond." - This lecture is one of the very best of the series and there ought to be 1,500 people out to hear it. The quartet will sing the old song. "The Church In the Wildwood.' Be there at 7:30 to hear the first song.
