It is therefore with poor grace that
the officials of this railroad come in with a, claim for such large damages. It does not show the proper spirit of
gratitude. It shows that It does not

their right, not to say their privilege.

$17,000 IN TEN DAYS. "Billy" Sunday the noted ranter and alleged revivalist got $17,000 cash for a ten days meeting in Wheeling, West, Va. recently. We will cheerfully wager a pound of new potatoes that $17,000 is more
money than all the rest of the Godfearing, good-doing, half-starved preachers of Wheeling get in a whole year and How that Sunday has stripped the town of $17,000 they probably will starve the rest of the year.
TEE FISST OF MAY.
The first of May! There is a merry freshness in the sound calling to our minds a thousand thoughts of all that is pleasant in nature and beautiful In her most delightful form. What man is there, over whose mind a bright spring morning does not exercise a magic influence carrying him back to the days of hi? childish sports, and conjuring up before him the old green field with its gently waving trees, where the birds sang as he has never heard them
sing since where the butterfly fluttered far more gaily than he ever
sees bim now, in all his rambllngs where the sky seemed bluer, and the
sun shone more brightly where the
air blew more freshly over greener
grass, and sweeter-smelling flowers where everything wore a richer and more brilliant hue than it is ever
dressed in now! Such are the deep feelings of childhood, and such are
the impressions which every lovely object 8 tamps upon the heart! The hardy traveler wanders through tbs maze of thick and pathless woods, where the sun's rays never shone.

CALUMET AVENUE REDEEMED. Calumet avenue was Hammond's laBt opportunity to provide Itself a broad long thoroughfare that could compare with Broadway in Gary and Chicago avenue in East Chicago. Be
cause of its geographical location it
promises to become a new and Important business cents. For a time there was some ques
tion whether or not the proposed widening of the street could he
brought about. There was the un-
progresslve element on the street which refused to stand for progress.
It was feared that they might endanger the whole project. But the meeting Monday night re
vealed the fact that Calumet avenue property owners are going to insist that the improvement be carried out. The great majority of them told the
board to go ahead. Some said they were willing to stand for even larger
assessments to see the project sue ceed. ,
Never in the history of Hammond
has there been such a splendid de
monstration of street pride. Calu met avenue is going to do what Hoh
man street refused to do twerAy
years ago. It is going to he the only
wide business street in the city.. In
a few years it is going to have a deep sewer system.
Five business blocks are to .be
erected on Calumet avenue this year
and the number will be doubled next year. As soon as the question as to whether or not the improvement will stand is settled there will be a boom
in values such as has never bee a
known before.
The first thing the people of Ham
mond know Calumet avenue will take
on an Importance that will make it a
rival of State and Hohman streets. And the property owners on the
street have shown that they deserve
the future that is in store for them.
The few kickers will be eliminat
ed. Some one ought to buy their
property and get them off from the
street. Men with such tramped
views do not deserve to be located among the live ones. In the mean
time Calumet avenue has redeemed Itself. It has proven Itself worthy of the $8,600 appropriation which the city has made to aid the project. In this connection It should be noted that the Indiana Harbor Belt railroad is asking for $10,000 damages. It Is the Indiana Harbor Belt railroad , that cut Hammond's northeast side In twain. . Streets were closed for Its benefit. Columbia avenue was ruined to make the Gibson
