With ha West Hammond primary election less than two months awav.

there is considerable talk as to whom will make the race lor the various offices on the ticket" Practically the entire reform administration will stand for re-election on its record of progress and good government. It believes that it is entitled to continued confidence, and with possibiy one or two exceptions, .the entire ticket will go before the people again. Mayor K. M.

Two professional burglars were cap

tured by the Hammond police early

this morning after having broken Into

the grocery store of Henry Burk, 692 South Hohman street, wnere they stole

102 pennies and a basket of g s.

They gave their names as Ge' ' ,-x.

vulge anytning relating to e pja,iast life. Chief Austgen Is leaet wjtr slieve that one of. them is a mat n,vanted

criminal.

Early this morning M gh3chmidt,

who resides over his plumb.ng establishment at 690 Hohman street, was

awakened by some one walking in

Burk's grocery store, next door. He reported the matter to the police, and

upon Investigating Captain Rlmbach and Officer Law found that the , front

door had been pried open, but the bur

glars had made their getaway.

Desk Sergeant See at once. notified

the entire police force and a short time latter Officers Stelow and Mojeskl located the two men north of the Hohman street bridge, where they were

placed under arrest, and taken to the

central station. Upon searching the

two men burglar tools. Including jim

mies, keys, various contrivances for

opening doors, a file and other articles

were found on their persons.' Besides

the pennies and basket of groceries, which they secured in Burk's store, two pairs -of new socks, three pairs of

ladies' gloves, and two ties were found.

which Is evident that the pair are

wanted In some other city for burglary.

This morning George Cox, the oldest

of the two men, refused to be ques

tioned by the police. He sulked and

was silent, while his accomplice talked

more freely. He said that he had met his pal, George Cox, In Tennessee, and with him had railroaded to Hammond.

"Although .he of ten. talked to me of

burglarizing places,", said the younger Cox,., "I was never implicated In any

robbery, .until ,,w? reached Hammond.

The balmy, spring-like weather which is being enjoyed at the national capital has been the means of bringing out to the parks and drives the equestriennes of Washington society. Seldom has the District of Columbia enjoyed such an open season, and everyone able to do so Is taking advantage of it. One of the most daring equestriennes seen about the capital is Miss Dasha Allen, daughter of Major Henry T. Allen, U. S.

AUDITOR LOSES MONEY AS OFFICER HOW

With Only $7,500 Salary Co. Auditor Has 7 Clerks To Pay Out of It.

That Auditor-elect Ed Simon will be

the poorest paid county official in Lake

county, unless the legislature makes

provision for an increase in his salary, is generally admitted by county offi

cials and those in touch with the work in that office. The total salary, fees, etc., which are now given Auditor Johnson amount to exactly $8,100 per annum. Out of this Mr. Johnson has to pay salaries for seven clerks and a stenographer. When they are paid there is little left for the auditor. There are times in the year when more than seven clerks are needed. Auditor Johnson some weeks has paid out for clerical hire $17 to $25 per week more than his salary amounts to. There is no question but what with the rapidly increasing population, new business, etc., that by the time Mr. Simon goes out of office he will be needing twelve clerks, and W. A. Dehorlty, head of the state board of accounts.

says that the audltorship of Lake county is the hardest work and poorest pay of any office in the entire state. There is a bill in the legislature now to increase the salaries of the auditors, but it has not come out of the committee room, and Mr. Simon has been urged to introduce a bill providing for Lake county alone.

The small-pox situation in East Chicago is just the same as it was several days ago, and the fact that there have been no new. cases since Sunday has led the health officials to hope that

This young lady is reputed to b a member of a well-known Washington family and by reason of parental objection refuses to allow her identity to become known. Her folks don't want her to take part in the great suffrage demonstration at the national capital on March 3. She will do so, but in order that no one may know that she is in the procession she will ride heavily veiled. Some of the suffrage lenders-have said that she is closely related to two wellknown members of congress, but beyond that admission they will say nothing.
