To say nothing of the very modest prices that prevail in my establishment. Allow me to say here that every article sold by me has the ring of quality in it. It matters not whether it is a 50c article or a $200.00 article in each case you 'will get full measure of quality. In silverware, watches, toilet sets, etc., engraving plays a leading role. You would'nt think of having a hundred dollar watch engraved by a tinsmith neither would you think of having your glorious white diamond mounted by an umbrella mender. You want quality goods fashioned by skilled workmen that's the point I wish to impress upon you when you buy of me you get the better grade
at a saving.

No one can say what will happen tomorrow. Insure today; tomorrow may bring sorrow. Storm and flood have just taken thousands of lives. Those who carried life insurance leave in their policies an asset worth 100 cents on the dollar. The property they owned it has been swept away. How much is it worth today?. A policy in NORTHERN STATES LIFE INSURANCE CO. is the safest investment vou can make. It cannot shrink thru stonn and flood. Home Offices Citizen's National Bank Building. Hammond, Indiana.

Newspaper Man Found on
Beach Is Believed to Have Been Murdered.
(Special to Thb Times.) Whiting:, Ind., March 2S. According" to the verdict of Deputy Coroner Shanklin of Hammond, the man whose body was found on the shore of Lake Michigan yesterday morning had evidently met with foul play. The body Is at Baran's morgue, where It will be held until tomorrow to await further identification, and it was here Dr. Shanklin held the inquest yesterday. In the man's pocket was found a memorandum book which contained the information that nls name was Mike Kiss. His birthplace Is Dunkobar. Austria, and the date of his birth is Aug. 15, 1888.' His vocation, according to the memorandum book was a reporter for a Croatlon newspaper. Kiss had two ugly gashes on his head, one back of his right ear and one over his temple. The wounds appear to be stabs from a knife, as his nose is also badly smashed. As the man had no valuables on his person, but was apparently well dressed, indications are that it was a case of murder.
The victim weighed 185 pounds and was 5 feet 8 inches in height. He wore a blue suit, gray sweater Jacket, black overcoat and new shoes. The body was found yesterday morning by J. Sarnok, who was walking along the beach. The body was badly decomposed. "
the ordinance published, the character
of the ordinance, and oier defects in
the $500 ordinance.
The attorneys for the anti-saloon league refused to make reply to the court's ruling and simply excepted to the ruling so that the appeal might be perfected. The case was started by Attorneys Harris and Ressler of Gary, who concluded that the interests of their clients, who were about to lose their licenses, might best be protected by attacking the validity of the ordinance.
MOTOR BOATS NOT NEEDED John M. Stinson who was designated to get a supply of gasoline launches for use at the flood points, stated today that every member of the Hammond Motor club had volunteered to aid in the work of rescue and to take his boat to the scene of th eflood if necessary. This would have provided a fleet of at least a score of launches. Men to man them would also have been provided. With these assurances he then telephoned to the mayor of South Bend, who has been aiding in the work of rescue, and placed the entire fleet of boats at his disposal. He then learned that the flood has receded so that boats are of no longer value. All of the families who were marooned have been recued. He learned that food and clothing are among the things most necessary. Had the boats been needed it would have been necessary to send them to Huntington and . then motored thirty miles to the scene of the floods.
pocketbook containing a sum of $7. Following his discharge at the Wecatur restaurant, on State street, yesterday afternoon, where he was employed as a porter, Fetton entered the living rooms above the restaurant and stole a pocketbook from one of the employes.

(Special to Thb Times.)
Crown Point, Ind., March 27. The county council ended its sessions here
; yesterday after making a number of
important appropriations. Among these was the appropriation of $75,000 for a
; bridge across the canal at One Hun
dred and Forty-first street, in East
Chicago.
East Chicago also asked for an ap
propriation for a bridge over the canal at One Hundred and Fifty-first street, but this request was denied and only the $75,000 for the One Hundred and Forty-first street bridge was granted. Superintendent Johns of the Interstate Iron & Steel Co. was present at the commissioners meeting and opposed the making of the appropriation. He said that the matter of the opfning of One Hundred and Forty-first street is still in the courts. The appropriation was made, however, knowing that if the litigation over the opening of this street is adverse that, the bonds will not be sold and the appropriation will not be available. Nineteenth thousand dollars was appropriated to take care of some extras at the poor farm that had been authorized by the county commissioners. This is expected to be the last appropriation that will have to be made for this institution. Ten thousand dollars was appropriated for the improvement of the fair ground. The money will be used to build fences, lay out drives and for landscape gardening. Fifteen thousand dollars was appropriated for a detention home for children and the money "is to be spent for grounds and a home by Judge William C. McMahon of the Lake county juvenile court.
Sues for Damages. A suit for $40,000 damacrcs fas started against the Illinois Steel company of Gary by Fred Schlarf through his attorneys, Moran & Dyer. The suit is the result of an accident that is alleged to have occurred May 6, 1912. The alleged cause of the accident was an explosion of gas in a tunnel in the plant of the company, which explosion is said to be due to the negligence of a fellow employe in leaving a valve open after drawing off the water from a gas pipe. It is related that there were numerous open fires and that these ignited the gas and caused the explosion. The plaintiff was unconscious for twelve hours and was taken for dead, according to the complaint. He declares that he was in the hospital for five months, and that he Is 42 years of age. Kruse and Peden are associated with Moran & Dyer In the case.
Accused of Theft. The Hammond police are making a city-wide search today for Arthur Fetton, who is wanted for stealing a
