They expected that there would be a lack of enthusiasm on account of the prominence of the Bull Moose movement in Indiana, but they found that the delegates were enthusiastic and that the feeling was of the best. The convention was anything but a funeral. There was a lively Interest in the proceedings from start to finish. Watson's keynote speech was a matter of comment to those who heard it and it is expected that It will be generally distributed during the campaign. The convention was in control of the conservative element In the party and is said to have been one of the most harmonious that has ever been held.

The selection of Durbln was acceptable to the Lake county delegates." , The Lake county delegation, with its 29 votes, was a big factor in the situation.

Frorn reports among a number of local nimrods, it is stated that there are a large number of water fowl In this vicinity at the present time, which is something unusual for this time of the year.

DOCTORS' PICNIC

homes of members of the Lake County

MUST KEEP

ALLEYS CLEAN Every so often Chief of Police Peter Austgen issues strict orders to his men

to keep a sharp watch on the variou

alleyways in the city,' so as to see if

they are free from dirt and other germ

breeding rubbish. This morning theee same orders went into effect, and by tomorrow all the rear streets and alleys

will have undergone a thorough clean

ing.

According to Chief Austgen, the al leys are kept in good shape in Ham

mond and so far has had very littl

trouble. Of course there are the usual

few violaters, but Hammond as a whol

is far better than the ordinary city.

There is an ordinance governing th

leaving of rubbish, manure and other articles In alleyways, which states that it must be placed in boxes or cans and

be removed within six hours thereafter,

BLACK METEOR GOWN FOR AUGUST WEAR

L. O. T. M. Lodge Sued.

There Is an Interesting case in juage

Ames court today, In which Rebecca E.

Cole has commenced suit to recover

sick benefits from the Hammond Lodge No. 2 of the L. O. T. M. of the World.

Although the case only Involves

about $35, there are a large number of

witnesses and some time has been

spent in examining them.

There are several questions which

arise In the recovery of the sick bene

fit and considerable interest is being taken in the outcome. Some time ago Mrs. Cole was taken 111, but while she was sick, she was able to be up and

around and left the residence on sev

eral occasions. According to the by

laws of the order, no m amber can

claim sick benefits if they leave the

house as long as they are ailing.

Building Permits.

There was a noticeable drop in build

ing permits during the past week, very

few being taken out, the highest being only $8,400 for a veneer cottage on Sheffield avenue. There were a number of permits taken out for new foun

dations and other repair work.

mission to Charles Kummer a saloon

keeper at 270 South Hohman street who is in the fireproof limits, to build

a small frame addition to his wooden

building. John Kane opposed the resolution on the ground that it was giving him permission to violate the

ordinance, and that if the council pro

posed to pass it, the ordinance should

be repealed. He said that people in

his neighborhood had been made to live up to the ordinance and had to put

up fireproof garages, when It would have been more convenient for them to build frame buildings. The resolution waa adopted however with Councllmen Kahi, Cotton Hower, JCane, Lauer and Eastwood voting against it. Permission was given the county commissioners to occupy Harrison avenue In Robertsdale and Thornton avenue In Hammond, for the purpose of paving the same.
