Happenings of a Day in Lake County's Lively Capital
SHUCKS
From the Diary of Si. Lence
The city council met last evening: for the purpose of hearing the remonstrances against the building of concrete sidewalks recently ordered by resolution by the city. Several property owners Interested In the improvement appeared, some praying- that action be delayed In the matter, others claiming the improvement not necessary in their several instances. After considering the question the council decided that the preliminary resolu
tion should stand intact and by unanimous consent passed a confirmatory resolution ordering the work done in thirty days and instructed the city clerk to so notify the property owners. The question of the improvement of the Besor ditch was again taken up. Will J. Davis Jr. appearing before the council with letters from Mr. Underwood of the Erie railroad bearing out in substance the article appearing In The Times yesterday, Jn which the railroad agrees to the proposition of putting a culvert under and across Its right of way due north on Main street. The straightening of the BeBor and deepening of same for several rods at this point will be a considerable item of expense and the council debated the question as to the most feasible way of proceeding in the matter. Some of the members are in favor of making it a public water way and assessing the residents contiguous to its territory and whose property is drained by it, for all improvements which may be made. This plan, while feasible, would probably meet with serious opposition as the ditch is dry most of the year and not a running stream and the proposition of going down In their Jeans to pay for Improving the ditch would be considered anything but Justifiable to them. The matter was placed in the hands of the street and alley committee of the council for further investigation. The concert given by the Crown Point and Gary choruses at Central Music hall last evening was very poorly attended for so excellent an entertainment, the weather having much to do with the slimness of the crowd. The program was a fine one and deserved a far better attendance than was had. Following is the program as rendered at last evening's concert: a. Daybreak Gaul Chorus. a. Spring Song Pinsuti Ladies' Chorus. a. The Little Pink Rose C. J. Bond b. My Laddie.1 Francis Allltsen c. The Dream-Maker Man Nevin Miss Peterson. a. The Violet and the Bee Galdlcot b. The Arrow and the Song Hay Chorus. b. When Love Is Kind Stewart c. Rock-a-Bye Neidlinger Ladles' Chorus. a. Sunbeams Ronald b. Rose in the Bud Forester
c. Rockln in de Wind" Neidlinger Miss Peterson. The Song of the Vikings Fanning Mrs. Grant and Miss Ott, accompanists. The Crown Point baseball team will play the Griffith nine at Erie park next Sunday, and Manager Wagner predicts a spirited contest with the bunch from Griffith as they will greatly strengthen their lineup to give the county seat team a close game. As the Hammond team has disbanded it will be possible for the Griffith club to strengthen Its lineup with the old stars on the Hammond team and the local crew is prepared for a lineup against a formidable array at Sunday's game. Griffith . has been after a game with Crown Point during the entire season and as it waa an open date on Wagner's schedule he decided to give them the game, they having intimated that Crown Point was afraid to play them. They will bring down a big bunch of rooters. Benjamin F. Hays, who is spending considerable money in putting the Hayes East Park addition on the market in improved city lots, has awarded the contract for the building of concrete walks and curbs in the new subdivision to Contractor William Parry. Pettibone avenue will be the first street put through in the new subdivision and it will be curbed, paved and have sidewalks and sewers install
ed its entire length. Misses Proebe Westbay, Mary Bremer and Carrie Lets left on Monday for an extended vacation trip to Denver and other sightseeing points in the west. ,

Mrs. Leila Howell of Rockford, -111., will visit at the home of Mr. and Mrs. George Fisher on East street for a few days. "Billy" Blodgett. the famed scribe of the Indianapolis News, is in Crown Point trying to get a whin of the doings of the grand jury. Nothing has leaked, however, and so far most of Billy's news has been conjecture and Billy's aptitude in putting two and two together and making a column story out of it. Mrs. Edna Carney of Duluth, Minn., is visiting with Crown Point relatives this week. M. E. Dinwiddle is transacting business in Hammond and Gary today. A number from here attended the performance of Gentry Bros. shows at Hammond yesterday. Every contractor In Crown Point Is as busy as the proverbial bee at present, and signs look good for a continuation of the present activity in all lines of building and improvement until snow flies. A heavy demand has been made on the local electrc light concern for electric fans during the hot weather, that being about the only method of obtaining relief from the terrible heat of the last week.

So I have determined to send a copy of the prescription free of charge. In a plain, ordinary sealed envelope to any man who will write me for it. This prescription comes from a physician who has made a special study of men and I am convinced it is the surest-acting combination for the cure of deficient manhood and vigor failure ever put together.
