As they who compose the daily murder classics are won't to say: "Mystery surrounds the disappearance of Miss , the popular south side girl from her home on August ." Fill In the blanks with Information that is authentic and you will have the announcement of an engagement In which one of the seven following young ladles is a principal: Miss Marguerite Hoffman, Miss Adele Mertz, Alice Bump, Florence Thomas, Kdith
Burns and Marie Wills. Foregathering In the home of Miss Wills on Truman avenue these seven bachelor girls celebrated the coming marriage of one of their number at a five course dinner. That much they freely admitted hut further they were non-comittant. Circumstantial evidence pointed to one who by her silence all but incriminated herself. An evening of Indoor Burns, Thomas.

DINNER TARTV FOIl CHILDREN. ' One" of the wiliest, women I ever knew, although I didn't .realise It then ,nH young mother who ul to have state dinner parties 4 for the children of her own family, regularly onit a month. No out- 4 d aider were Invited on them oeea- d d alona, and all the children were d brought to the table. The beat linen, china and allver 4 were uaed, and everything; wna d aerved moat punctiliously, and In d d an up-to-date manner, aays a writer In Mother' Magazine. I n- d usual dlabea were brought Into the d menu and great rare was taken d d that each child ahould behave as d he would In the presence of at ran-
iter, and not carelessly as he was d d sometimes Inclined to do at home. At the time I thought Mrs. B. a very foolish wontnn to take upon
hei-xelf all this extra work and trouble, when be dally life seemed d d already full to overflowing, and I 4 told her so. d
"Maybe I am foolish," she re- d
piled, "but I Just won't have my
d children going out to other peo- 4 pie's .houses and staring at the pretty china and cut glass as d d though they had never seen such 4 things; or nalng the wong forks 4t and spoons to their own embar- d 4 rassment or, at III worse, taking d a bath from the linger right here d d at home, and I think the comfort 4 I get out of it in future years p will make up to me fully for the d extra effort It la costing me now." And after all she Is right. Fiam- 4 pie is stronger than precept, and although It costs us mothers ex- d trn time and trouble, it Is the only way In rearing children, for d preaching and practice, la order d to accomplish anything, must go d hand-ln-hand. 4
folowed the procuring of the permit with a ceremony. Mr. Klndel Is employed as a lineman by the Northern Indiana Gas and Light company. WILL VISIT NEW YORK. Dave Lederer, haberdasher and merchant taiior. will leave his business in the hands of fate and his clerks to. visit New York City. His wife will accompany him. After two weeks in the city of two many caliph's Iederer wll return followed shortly by the niftiest In men's furnishings. A tho
motto or rsew loric is "ye were a
stranger and we took you In good and plenty." Lederer is prepared to foot gigantic hotel bills and pay $10 to see a show. MATRIMONY INTENDED. From the city of Lansing in Michigan comes word to the contemplated marriage of Miss Luella Ouelts of thereabouts to Theodore Blocker a Hammond man. Parents of the young lady annoimoe- the affair for a. date In, the near future. - ' '". CHURCH NOTES. George W, Muckley, financial genius of the Disciples of Christ, spoke at the Calumet avenue Christian church yesterday morning. Mr. Muckley dropped into Hammond unexpectedly to visit the Cecil Sharp congregation where he is beloved. The pastor insisted that Mr. Muckley speak in his place. After a forty minute address on his favorite topic, chuch extension, Muckley departed for a southbound Monon. He is
on a tour of the state's pleading for a
million dollars. It is probable that this task will keep him busy for some time. He was given nearly a hundred dolars yesterday. HOUSE PARTY IN MICHIGAN.
A house party of the week-end variety was rudely interrupted by the
raging elements at New Bualo, Mich.,
yesterday. Four young ladies of Hammond, the Misses Esther Schroeder, Grace Mathews and Gladys and Hazel
Younger were staying over Sunday at the home of Miss Alice Harper.. The
severe storm which passed over Ham
mond with threatening turmoil hit the
village of New Buffalo like a load of
brick. The streets were flooded.
houses wrecked and damage visited on things in general. Lightning struck
a house near the Harper home. As
rains were stalled the Hammond girls
arrived home late this forenoon. HEAT DOESN'T FEAZH PASTOR.
Spiritual advisers in Hammond ig
nored the enervating heat of yesterday.
In certain church of the city audiences that were already melted by the heat Into a conglomerate mass received fiery
messages. Pastors here claim for their
parlshoners that they are ever faith
ful in spite of heat and storm, and the followers cannot but admit that their
leaders are always on the Job.
Cecil Sharp, at tho Christian church,
removed his coat to administer some
"sharp shots surely sent." Rev. Swltzer
at the Methodist church soundly condemned the "deml-mond! costumes" and
"vulgar fashions." Father Barrett used an editorial in Thb Times for a commendation of these same much-
bered fashions.
Rev. Adams of the Baptist church began a series of sermons on "Profit,
Priest and King."

THRESHING DINNERS ARE THING OF PAST
Farmers Form Companies
and Hire Machine Owner to Do Work,
The "good old-fashioned threshing dinners" are passing In Indiana, and no longer do crowds follow the separators, expecting to get a good feed and $3 per day each for their work. Neighbors form companies of twelve to twenty, elect a captain who employs a thresher. No unnecessary time is lost In moving from place to place with the machine, as they are taken In rotation as the machines come to their farms. The captain sends his teams ahead as they complete on Job, and they have full loads of wheat when the machines
are set In the new place and ready for work. In some localities the thresher furnishes all the hands and boards them, hiring a tent, and cook for that purpose, leaving nothing for the farmer's wives and daughters. AVhere the machine owner does not furnish all the hands and board them, the practice now is for the hands to be boarded by the person on whose farm the work is being done, and the neighborhood hands either take their dinner or go home for It. When all the wheat in a company Is threshed, the captain calls a meeting of the members when the work of equalizing the work is accomplished
Dy giving tnose wiin small amounts a difference In cash for the extra work and usually this Is followed by a company gathering-, when several gallons
of ice cream and a good supply ol watermelons are sampled.
One of the most delightful reunions held in East Chicago in many a day.
took place at the residence of Mrs. J. E. Evans, 4717 Baring avenue, whon Mrs. Evans entertained for a company of old schoolmates gathered from the four corners of these United States. The same crowd has not met before in fifteen years and talk of girlish pranks of schoolday years, mingled with conversation concerning present aims and occupation, al lintensely Interesting to those present. The guests included Mesdarnes Howard Easter of Cata, South Dakota; E. L. Morris of Providence, R. I.; A. W. Wood of Birmingham, Ala.; Hugh Lawrence of Terre Haute; E. C. Clark of Chicago; Arthur Miller of Napinee, Ind.; Misses Bertha Hanson, Bee Hanson and Maud Smith and Mrs. Arthur Matias all of Hammond; Mrs. Robert Freeman, Mrs. H. K. Groves and Mrs. C. D. Falmer of East Chicago. Most of the out of towners happened to be visiting in this vicinity so the happy thought struck Mrs. Evans that here would be an opportunity which might not come once again in a lifetime, for the old crowd to get together. The hostess had the assistance of Mrs. Falmer and Mrs. Groves and the entertainment took the form of a tea. A delicious two course luncheon was served and the house was elaborately decorated with flowers, pink and white roses forming the chief floral feature. The table had a center piece of pink
roses.. The hostess received her friends in a lingerie gown of sheer
lawn lace and embroidery, Mrs. Palmer
were blue and white voile and Mrs. Groves white lingerie.

STORM SCARES LAKE CO. PEOPLE
The storm that caused so much
damage In Michigan and Northern In
diana late yesterday resulted in one
death at Gary and damage to various parts of the city and its environs by
lightning bolts. John Soltis, 2 years old, an employe
of the coke ovens department, Illinois Steel company, late in the day was instantly killed when a bolt of lightning struck structural work. Beyond a
searing mark on his neck there were
no other disfigurations on the mans
body. All efforts to resuscitate him were fruitless. A little while afterward there was a
blinding flash at Aetna. Lightning
struck the ground Just outside the South Shore Interurban shed. Those in the vicinity fled In terror. Roads to the east of the city were deluged with water and were almost impassable. During the tenure of the Btorm In Gary yesterday not a drop fell In South Chicago thirteen miles away.

E. G. Kemper of Burlington, la., Puts Up New Style Cottage in City.
E. G. Kemper, of Burlington, la., the Inventor of the collapsible cement forms and the firt man to build a double wall concrete house, has erected a five-room cottage on his plan of buildings at the corner of Ftlmore street and Fifth avenue. Mr. Kemper, with his process of construction, has gotten entirely away from the damp and musty dwelling. The idea of this building is to kep an air chamber In between the two outside walls of the house, thus insuring a dry residence at all times. For mis purpose Mr. Kemper has invented and patented a collapsible set of forms, which, when the concrete Is filled around, wftl make a wall two and one-half inches trick with an air chamber of three Inches. This Is Mr. Kemper's first house In this part of the country, but he has buit several warehouses and stations in the south to say nothing of the large number of private dwelling houses he has erected. The present dwelling is, without a doubt, one of the most attractive and most substantial in Fll-
