The Jury found for the plaintiff and gave him a Judgment for $600. He had sued for J20.000. The fracture w.as first set by Laws, it is alleged, and Dr. Washburn was later called and a Chicago specialist brought In by the latter and the fracture re-set, but it was too late to remedy all the damage that had been done.
t'p to The Minute Sports. (Times' correspondent at track, 3:30 p. m.) , Badly shaken by the grind of a long race the one-lung Anti-deep sewer machine is being driven to" the very limit by that celebrated speed-monger Old Man Kill-Joy and his mechanician I'm Aginlt. The betting is 2 to 1 in favor of that powerful racer backed by the Chamber of Commerce, city officials, real estate and business men. There is little doubt that before another of the fourteen twenty-four laps have passed that the old wheezer will begin to creak and groan. A little
after that and it will fall apart allow

meeting. The Idea to which it is dedicated is esentially his. He stated today that he believed the question of cost to be the fundamental objection to the deep sewer. An effort la to be made to settle once and for all this problem in the minds of all fair-minded citizens. At least one out-of-town authority will speak. "The idea of the meeting," said Mr. Woods, "is to avoid big talk and technicalities and get down to plain English. Some people have said it is to cost so-and-so and others thla-and-
ihat. The question of cost is the big issue and it is for the good of every property owner in Hammond that the
meeting is called."

By the good will of other Protestant churches in Hammond Sharp is being greatly aided in his effort to have a thousand and two hundred at Sunday school. If in proportion to the energy extended people respond as they did last week the enrollment at 9:30 should be not less than 1,500. Practically every one eligible to a Bible school has received post cards by this time inviting them to attend. As Sharp considers to be under that head, the mail carriers in the city have been somewhat overburdened this week. As it stands now Hammond has a larger Sunday school than any church in Chicago and many another big city. The high water mark for Indiana was reached last week when Hammond caught up with the school it is contest with.

THE OTHER SIDE OF
THE SEWER QUESTION
Hammond, Ind., May 31. Editor Times: As a remonstrator against the deep sewer, I wish to say in self-de
fense that most of the signers I have talked with are in favor of the sewer on any kind of an equitable plan, but no man can advance the argument that the plan of placing a sewer in a paved

ten feet wide and twenty feet deep.

We can not expect any benefit on the

ANOTHER AFTER THE .HONOR
CHARGES HOT
SUBSTANTIATED
Charges preferred by Fred Jacobson
last Monday against Edward Freely of
285 Hickory street, to the effect that
the latter was guilty of contributing
to the delinquency of Jacobson's 5 and
7-year-old children, have not been suf
ficiently substantiated by Jacobson to warrant Deputy Prosecutor Ralph Ross
and Deputy I. I. Modjeska to take any action to place Freely under arrest.
The charges that Jacobson made have
become public property, and as re
sult Freely, against whom the unprov-
en charges have been made to the prosecutor, appears as the injured party. Those who know Freely vouch for his good character.
It appears that Jacobson and Freely
stand in the relation of landlord and
tenant, and that there has been some
difficulty between them on this score
before the recent charges.

Many a bitter war between two towns has resulted from less of a dispute than this over a ball game. In the west a ball club is the highest fraternity in the town and ranks above the commercial club. The Decoration day game between Lowell and Hammond promises to live in the memories of both teams. Up to the fifth It stood 5 to 0 in favor of Hammond. Helmbach claims that the interference of spectators and police aided Lowell to make 16 runs in o few innings.

REVIVAL MEETINGS
CONTINUE AT TENT
The series of meetings which hav
been held in the ten on Hoffman an
Cedar street for the past two week
will continue during the week com
merfclng on Sunday, June 1. Since his
coming to Hammond Rev. Meeker has
gained a hearing which has increased nightly. He gives a forceful presentation of Christian truth. He is fearless as he depicts the consequency of sin.
Although conservative in his methods
and not sensational. Logical and supported by the best diction, his discourses show the work of a master mind. The illustrations and personal incidents related by Mr. Meeker have set in unusually clear relief, the great central points he wished to standout. In consequence of Ihis faculty of making truth transparent, many will long remember some of these sermons. The testimony meeting of Tuesday night and the memorial service of Friday night secured the largest attendance. On Friday night Miss Ferris and Miss Fuller contributed vocal numbers. The evangelists addres was taken from the martial verses in Paul's
John Jonas, who is sorely puzzled
over the matter of a deep sewer, is to be given a chance to investigate It from

He will be told the total costs for all assessments by staying for an after
meeting at about 9 o'clock, at which City Engineer Pete Lyons will answer

HEADACHE. (Advertising Story No. 18.) Headaches are so numerous and bo common that it is practically impos
sible to innumerate all the different
causes. Probably stomach and di gestive trouble gives rise to headache as often as any other cause. Next, perhaps, is the inmimerable nerv
ous complaint. Women suffering with
pelvic troubles are often chronic com
plainers. Eye strain give3 rise to
headache in both children and adults
There is no end of the toxic conditions whether from inactive kidney, or an
ingorged liver or a constipated bowel. And so we might enumerate other causes, but this is enough to show how futile it is to take headache tablets, to simply allay the pain and nervousness without first inquiring into and removing the cause. If af
flicted I invite you to call for a free examination, when a careful examination into the condition of your system will doubtless reveal the cause of your suffering. I also treat all curable cases of men and women, liver, kidney and bladder troubles, skin, venerlal and rectal ailments. Consultation free. DR. LEEDY
