GERSBACH WINS SATURDAY FLIGHT Next Saturday Will See Final Play in the Cup Handicap.
Quite a few golfers dropped out of the cup handicap at the Hammond Country Club last Saturday afternoon and only. 19 made the third round In the day's play. The hlsh wind made the Ions: play very difficult and accurate driving- was almost an Impossibility. Indeed several of the players did most of their work In the roug-h. slicina; and pulling: being very common. Otto Oersbach who brought In a gross card of 63 took first in the sweepstakes with a 18 handicap. Fred Mott was second and V. G. McAleer had to be content with third. Next Saturday will see the final flig-ht In this handicap so as to have the decks clear for the play on Labor day. The scoring-; 19 folows:

Brooks to come to her saloon. Then when Miss Brooks refused she wanted permission to go to her house. Miss Brooks refused to permit her to see her at all. What Bee Burke could want with Miss Brooks is a matter of speculation.
The doughty West Hammond reformer
said that she would not take any chances on meeting any of the resort-
keepers there for fear that something might be framed up to discredit her.

WOSCZTXSKI. Arrested at midnight, charged with soliciting a bribe. Haled before Judge Frank Green. Placed under a bond of $5.-000.
GEORGE ROSEXBAUM. Arrested on warrant sworn out in Bvanston charged with offering a bribe to Alderman Otto Planer. Is released at once- on $500 bonds.
In one case the defendant was compelledto furnish the -maximum bond and- in the other the minimum. Mayor K. M. Woscynskl is mad as a hornet today. He says that this plainly indicates that the sympathy is with the
lawless elemenet of the village. j The arrest of Rosenbaum was one of the first of a series of assaults that are to be made by the reform mayor against - the dlvekeepers. The mayor is going to give them all such a big taste of the arresting game that they will be busy providing bondsmen. Some of the more ignorant people of West Hammond think Utat Just because a man is arrested that there is a probability of guilt. That Is why Mayor , Woscxynski was arrested. And the bond was made as big as possible to emphasize the enormity of the crime. Now Mayor Wosczynski is going to have a little arresting done on his own account. So is Miss Brooks. They are going, tou arrest everybody that has been connected with the old regime just so they can get a case against them that will hold water. And they expect to be able to get convictions. There will be no bluff about It like the case of the arrest of the mayor. They are going to make it so hot for the dlvekeepers that thfy
An enrollment of nearly 500 pupils is looked for this year In All Saints paro. chial school in Hammond. Announcement of the opening of school on Tuesday, Sept. 3rd, was made yesterday by the Rev. Father Barrett. In anticipation of an increased attendance an ad
ditional room will be opened this year
in the former church building, which is mainly used for hall purposes now.
Twelve sisters of St. Mary's of the
Woods arrived last week in prepara
tion of the school work, the number
this year being Increased by one. Sis
ter M. Alodia, who is considered to be
one of the most capable sisters in the
whole order as an executrix and teach
er, is with the sisters again this year as the superior, this being the third time that she has been assigned to Hammond. She left Hammond seven
years ago, and her reaurn. she found some remarkable change, both in the city and In the school. She is enthusiastic about the work here, and the
patrons of the school are delighted to
have her back again. Only three of the eleven sisters who were here last year
returneed for the work this year, these three having respectively had charge of the high school, the primary department and the fifth and sixth grade
boys.
The high school for the girls opens its fifth year next week, having graduated its first class last year. A substantial increase In the attendance Is
looked for there. The graduates are given th same recognition without an examination in the state schools that the graduates in the public school re-
ceiveeL
. The sisters of All Saints this year will again have music classes, and those ' of the boys and girls desiring to take a course must make their ap
plications this week.
All 'Saints schools ranks among the
very best In the Fort Wayne diocese
for efficiency and scholarship,' and the
t enviable record that the school has at
tained through the indefatigable "work
of Father Barrett and the Sisters of St,
Mary's of the Woods is not to be low
ered this year. The prospects for a
good year are excellent.
Bears routed the bulls at the city
hall last week and building permit stock sank out of sight. The demand
for homes in the city ia said to be
greater than ever before, but the mar
ket is rotten at present.

spec-tor Cole thought ha discerned I

lar as a boom. Having had this vision of future prosperity he made the pre
diction this morning that September
will be a lively month for the building
trades men and that permit stock will
soar. '

Two New Divorce Cases.
Two divorce cases and
separate maintenance were filed In the Lake superior court at Hammond Sat

Alice Wlllard seeks separate main
tenance from her husband. The couple
was married Dec. 15. 1899, and sepa

support. The case was filed by Mc

STEEL DEMAND VERY HEAVY Demand for steel products was so heavy this week that Chicago producers have found it necessary to refuse
to -book orders for delivery before the end of the year. The mills are so congested now that it will take until that time to clear the field for next year business. In tome cases specifications already received are so large In volume that shipment will not be made until February or March, and no further contracts for 1913 are being considered. This condition has been profitable to independent producers who are able to make shipments in the next two
months, and some of them are getting handsome prices above the market figure.

This has beea especially true of structural material, railroads not being so seriously affected. As yet three has not been much difficulty in getting cars and rail orders are being handled satisfactorily. Among the large purchases of rails this week have been 75,000 tons by the Northwestern and 40,000 tons by the Burlington, while the Atchison and St. Paul railroads ha'e practically closed for 50,000 tons each. Inquiries Include 25,000 tons for the Harrlman lines.
15,000 tons for the Northern Pacific and 15,000 to 20,000 tons for the Great Northern. The Argentine & Northeastern railway has awarded 12,000 tons of rails to the United States feceel Products company. The Canadian Pacific has placed additional orders for 5,000 cars with Canadian builders.. The steel will be furnished by the United States Steel corporation. Plates and shapes have gone up In
prices this week, many of the dealers
having made material advance in their quotations. Large contracts were let, particularly to the American Bridge company, for work in the east. The tonnage booked in this department has been as heavy as in other branchea of the trade and contracts for work in winter are, being held up on this account. There is a shortage of store material in a large number of shapes and sixes, and there is an uncertainty of delivery which is hampering small contracting to a great extent. Contracts amounting to 11,246 tons were let during the week. An order for 2,668 tons from the Chicago, Milwaukee and St., Paul railroad for use on the Sage Creek viaduct was taken by the American Bridge company.
