DOUBT THE STORY. , Lake county lawyers who were present in the Lake superior court this morning were not inclined to believe the story which appeared in a Gary paper Saturday stating that William Daly of .Valparaiso had been appointed the judge of the Porter circuit court at that place. They are not skeptical regarding the selection of Paly, but do not think that the appointment baa yet been made. W. B. Van Home of Kaat Chicago, who came up from Indianapolis whTre he has been in touch with things generally, has not heard of the appointment. Judge Kopelke 111. ' Judge Johannes Kopelke is ill and has sent word to the clerk of the court at Hammond that he will not hold court until Wednesday. He expects, J however, to be able to be present then. E IS (Special to The Times.) Whiting, Ind- March 3. Frank Wellette employed in the Standard Oil Car Works was very seriously injured last Saturday evening and has lost his j arm as a result. Wellette was flipping a moving oil car ,and his arm was , caught between the bumpers. The ' member was crushed and the bone crunched so that amputation was necessary. He was removed to his home in Wilcox addition after Dr Hosklns had dressed his arm. FLAMES WRECK DAVIDSON HOME 1 City of Whiting Has a Bis- , astrous Blaze Last Saturday. ' Special to The Times.) Whiting, Ind., March 3. The homo of Henry P. Davidson, 224 Laporte avenuo was nearly destroyed by fire last Saturday afternoon and the damage will amount to nearly $3,000, of which amount J500 will be on the furniture. The blaze was due to an overheated furnace and the fire started between the outer and Inner walls. The lsso was covered by insurance. The fine collection of curios and relics collected by Madame Davidson during her travels was nearly all saved. It is the most beautiful collections of its Kind in the state. Madame Davidson had beeq years in making1 the collection from all parts-of Europe and it is priceless to her, covering her' thirteen seasons abroad. Both the Whiting and , Robertsdale departments were called to subdue the flames. Mr. Davidson In speaking of the fire said he was thankful to think PATENT MEDICINES AT CUT PRICES SUMMERS PHARMACY Merchandising Druggists Snipper

it had not started in the night, for he feared that In that event, there would have been a loss of life, as before it would have been discovered the "fire would have gained such a great headway. Everything in the basement and 'everything in the attic was charred. The fire in the other parts of the house ;was not so great.

The Davidsons will begin having their home repaired as soon as the damages have been adjusted and for the present they are residing with friends. CUBBY TO TREAD THE STAGE 1W Jimmy Clabby has a new vocation, in other words, he will make his debut behind the footlights some time during the next two weeks. Thfifafternoon the popular bonifloe and coming welterweight champion of the world, journeyed to Chicago, where he will sign up for a week's theatrical engagement With a number of other pronounced champions, such as Luther MeCarty, Johnny Coulson and Johnny Kllbane. Clabby will take part in a one act sltetch entitled "In Our Training Quar ters." The act wil1 consist of throwing the medicine ball, punching the bag, skipping the rope, sparring and other forms of training which make champions of the roped arena According to the late&t report, they will open thefr sketch at Toledo anl will play in such cities as Columbus Youngstown and other Ohio fight towns Only one night stands will be booked Clabby announced this morning that ho is positive that he will sign up fo- at least a week's engagement and will be able to give further details later. Since decisively defeating Freddie Hicks of Detroit at the Hammond the atre last Thursday night, Clabby has gained considerable recognition and country-wide fame. Hicks, who held Eddie McGoorty to a good draw somo months ago, acknowledges that Ctably is one of the greatest fighters in his class today, and it will be but a be but e welt short time until he is hailed thtf welterweight champion of the world. "With out exception Clabby Is the hardest man I ever went up against," said Hicks, following the ten-round tilt. "He has an awful punch In either hand and in my opinon can hit 25 per cent harder than McGoorty." "MISS NOBODY FROM STAR LAND An opulent frolic of mirth, music and beauty. "Miss Nobody from Starland," the notable Mort H. Singer musical comedy, will be the enticing attraction at the Hammond theater on Sunday evening, March 9. As one critic aptly describes this clever offering, "The music pleases the ear; the costumes delight the eye; the chorus satisfies In appearance and activity; the'fun never drops Jji to wearisome talk. srtt -rntAt be a good show." Olive Vail, the clever prima donna, appears in the title role, supported by an excellent cast of well known principals and a lar&e choru. Grill Room Thrown Open. The grillroom at the Hotel Mee was thrown open to the public last night and the inviting menu that was served attracted a large crowd of guests. Meals are served any time during the day on the European' plan and arrangements are being made to make a specialty of theater parties.

MUSICIANS WORK HARD

Those who have noticed remarkable Improvement in the work of the orchestra at the Orpheum theatre, in Hammond, will be Interested to know that Hammond never h act a theatrical orchestra that spent so much, time in practice and an effort to improve Itself aa the one which Is now, playing at the Orpheum.

Is Studyunder George Bass of the Ctilcago Symphony orchestra. His work shows a decided improvement over what it was at the beginning. Fred ThelUrian, the player o,f the clarionet, is studying regularly with J. Scheures of the Chicago Symphony orchestra. He is making great headway, and there is a noticeable improvement in his work. " Jacob Pitrer the trap drummer, con court house clock, children could be sen scrambling into their respective homes and few could be seen on the streets after that hour. The police are well satisfied and after the ordinance is systemized children under the age of 1C years, will know their place Is at home after o'clock. Funeral Services.

sidered the best in northern. Indiana, does not think, that he is beyond learning. He is a pupil of Charles Fisher- of the LaSalle theatre, Chica go. , He has just purchased a set of kettle drums that cost-?200 and has very complete outfit. Fred H. Leverens, the cornet player, has had nine years' experience in Ham mond, but he spends much of his time practicing. He is regarded as a very excellent musician. So while the Orpheum orchestra Is the best that Hammond ever had and frequently is one of the principal features of the program, its members are conscientiously trying to make it even better and are spending much of their weekly earnings in taking lessons from the best teachers in Chicago. The efforts that this aggregation are making to please the people deserve recognition and the many rounds of generous applause that greet the overtures make therri thnk that their work Is well worth while. family residence Saturday evening at . 10 o'clock following an illness of nearj ly two weeks, eath was due to scarJet fever.

Carl Bauer and Thomas Shea, of the Simplex, visited a number . of important factories in Pennsylvania . last week with a view of learning whet suecess these plans are bavins in the

use of powdered coal instead of fuel oil. j ' Since the Standard Oil company, withdre wits fuel oil from the market in order to manufacture motor spirits ' from it, manufacturers have been com- j pelled to find a substitute which would

give the same Intense heat that fuel oil provides. Powdered coal seemingly provides the solution, and it will very likely be used for some processes at the Simplex. THE DAY IN CONGRESS SKIS ATE.

JURIES FAIL TO AGREE The jury in the case of Paul Glaser vs. the Fidelity & Casualty Insurance Company could not agree on the prop ositlon that there was any insurance coming on account of the alleged loss by Glaser of silverware and other val uables bu burglary. The Vote is reported to have been six to five in favor of the defendant at one time and seven to four at another. At no time were there more than five men convinced that Glaser 'deserved the Insurance that he claimed. The jury was out for nearly 24 hours and there was never any hope for a verdict. But one man oscillated in his opinion of the case after the first -vote. The jury in the case of Evans vs. Bourkardt and Schuts, In which dam ages are claimed on account of an acci dent in the Orpheum theatre building the jury disagreed. Most of the time the vote is said to have stood six to six and there was ne chance for an agreement. This Is a great blow to the plaintiff who had expected a large verdict. It is understood that the fact that the principal defendant was a woman who would be ruined In the case of large damages, ha dlts effect with the jury.

ADVERTISING STORY NO. 1 It is my purpose to run In tills pa per for the next few days a series of adrertieing stories. They will be short It will only take a few minutes of your time to read them and whether you are afflicted and con-r template a risit to the doctor soon or not, the stories may prove of more interest to you than you might expect from an advertisement. Perhaps you are awVe, perhaps you are not aware that, by some it is claimed that medical advertising Is UU; ethical. Well, I refer you to your dic tionary for the word ethics. I think you will find no reference to medical advertising; and after a careful study of the word, you will agree with me that a medical advertisement Is just as ethical as any other piece of lit erature, providing it tells no untruth. Elbert Hubbard salds: . "The only man that has no right to advertise is the man that cannot make good." Concerning my advertising stones that will appear from time to time, I invite your strictest scrutiny and criticism. If they do not jingle true, you are entitled to distrust them. We are all forced to choose our friends, upon our own Judgent." We must make our own selection of the merchants that we would patronize. So you, if in need of a doctor, must make your own se lection. If the advertising stories ring false, no one can blame you for being distrustful and avoiding their author. These stories will concern every day topics such as stomach and digestive troubles, perhaps skin diseases, rheumatism and-nervous complaints, etc., etc. I also treat eye, ear, nose and throat troubles and invite your pat ronage whenever you are in need of a doctor. I do not profess infallibility. all I can promise you Is, that I will honestly do the very best that I can, when I am intrusted with a case to treatIn limiting my practice to . office work, I have sought to equip my office with a stock of the purest drags obtainable and the most efceient treat ment devices that money will buy; and since I have given the best years of my life to the study and treatment of this class of diseases by these devices, I am honest in saying that I believe I am in a position to give you the very best treatment obtainaWe.
