CAN'T SCARE HIM!

The Northern Indiana. Has company is making some htMilway with its pian to supply a'.l of the smaller towns in the Calumet district with gas and electricity. Tt secured a contract In New Chicago, the other day, and the board of county the use of the highways between th use of th fhithwiya between Hammond and Highlands. This is an indication of the faith the company has in the Calumet district. The Northern Indiana (las & Electric company and the Chicago Telephone company are the only public utilities which seem to be willing to anticipate the future and extend '.heir operations accordingly. The street railway companies Insist on making one line pay so much per car hour and per car mile before they will spend any additional money. The Northern Indiana (las & Electric Company, however, has ppent over

$250,000 in the past year and eontemp:ates the expenditure of $750,000 in the coming yea- for the purpose of beins prepared for the development that is surely to foliow the building of the I'.aldwin Locomntlve works and the Northwestern Iron company in the Calumet district. No municipality or no small company could undertake these large improvements and extensions without having the actual business to warrant it. During the past two years the entire plant and equipment of the Northern Indiana Cus & Electric company has been ri -habilit ited and there Is no concern, public or private, which is Riving the service that is being given by this company. This has ail t een accomplished under the efficient management of W. D. Ray and his sub-managers Allan Graham, R. I. Petcrmar, William II. Crawford and A. E. Oltz.

Heart Trouble and Complications Bring Sudden End to Pioneer Resident of Hammond; Leaves Widow and Two Sons.

Old residents of Hammond will be " surpr'lfeta 'tO"T?Ttth df-thP'stidden-tfeatti of George A. A. Mason, age 63 year3, at his home 46 Rimbaeh avenue, Hammond. Mr. Mason was taken ill Wednesday evening and suffered a relapse last niariit. He did at 12:15 today. Thu cause of. his death is thought to be heart trouble with complications. Within the last few- days Mason has been seen on th streets in apparent p:ood health and his Illness and death will be a surprise to his friends and acquaintances. Mason came to Hammond with the O. H. Hammond Company between 35 and 40 years a?". He has seen the city Rrow from a struselinu village to tha city of its present proportions. Maion came from I"--troit and with the exception of a short time d'jrlnar which he lived in Kensington he has been a resident of Hamond. He has always been actively interested in politic. For the last four or five years Mason has been encased jn the manufacture an 1 sale of water fi'.ters. Mason Is better known by tlw residents of Hammond of twenty years ago than lie is by th present residents of the city. He Js survived by his wife, a most estimable and worthy woman and by his two sons. Kddie Mason f Ha'iirnond and Charles Mason, or Seattle. He also had a brother in Chicago and a sifter in Malison. Wis-.

A melon levee is the latest social diversion in Hammond city hall circles, havintr its origin in the city market which is conducted on the vacant lot in the rear of the city hali on Tuesdays" Thursdays and Saturdays of each week. The offices of City Clerk Duelke and City Engineer Lyons, overlook the market, and thus far the attaches of the various offices hate been unable to resist the temptation of the luscious fruits which come into the market by the wagron load. The city rlerk'B office tafclo- acwK-crs -ts " a- serr'tn taUie "and here everybody in the building helps himself to the jrenerous slices that are cut. Market Dujr Place Today. Although only a. week old, the city market this morning- was more of a success than ever today. Farmers encouraged by the number of persistent shoppers and the latter induced by the bis variety of warden truck offered at prices which eliminate the middleman's profit, came into the market In goodly numbers. and for several hours the place presented a lively scene In which bargains were snapped up right and left at a brisk rate. The ladies of the Pine Street Persbyterian church, had a bigger variety of homemade delicacies than ever. Their stock also included baked beans and potatoe salad, all of which found ready buyers.

SprinEf chickens went

fast.

ACCEPTS PETITION.

The board of public works yesterday morning- accepted a petition for a sewer and walks in Moss avenue. The inspoetor's bond for the Johnson street pavement was accepted. The matter of awarding the contract for the Jack, son street and Madison street pavement was laid over until October IS. The primary assessment roll f.-.r the I--wt3 street pavement was placed on fr.c, .T. Wolf and Theodore AMcndnrf were appointed inspectors respectively for the Ken wood-Za!iau ad 1 it ion sewer a nd the Wiicov striet sewer.

as did

also the smaller vegetables. Housewives came armed with big market baskets and shopping bags. Many of them were accompanied by boys of school atre. who took the pupplies home in little wagons. Shoppers Kind bis: variety. One farmer had an excellent brand of strained honey which he sold for fsfty cents a quart. He also had honey in cumbs which he sold for fifteen and twenty cents a comb. There was a bi;r supply of celery on the market, and bier heads of , lettuce were sold tlireo and four heals for a nickel. One farmer promise! to be in the market next week with a big supply of potatoes which he would sell at sixty-five cents a bushel. One farmer had a load of cantaloupes which went fast. Some fine tomatoes were offered at reasonable prices, as were also rabha pre, rhubarb, kohl-rabi, cucumbers, and many other garden products. It has been learned that some of the farmers refuse to come into market because they believe they would have to pay rent for their stand. This is a mistaken impression as the farmers have free access of their waeron space. The market will be continued as Ions: as the farmers have something to sell.

A cable message from the Montenegrian minister of war to the Garv reservists calling them to their colors

for war with Turkey turned the Montenegrian colony into an armed camp this afternoon. The word, which had been awaited with eagerness for days, arrived at last, and was received with a shout of gladness from the hundreds of foreigners who crowded into the headquarters. It means first of all that they are to go back to their native country, and then to take up arms against the ancient enemy. Nothing could be more welcome to them. Most of the foreigners are in light marching order, having neither kith nor kin nor property interests here to detain them. Few are United States citizens.

There was a meeting of the Hammond city council and the

of local improvements in West Hammond this altornoon to take up the question of repairing the Wentworth avenue sewer. This sewer was built by John J.
