MAY BRING SHOWS TO HAMMOND

Eagles Figure on Getting the Reiss Carnival from East Chicago. Finding the Natt Reiss carnival, row showing: for the Moose in Kast Chicago to be "a clean worth combination of shows," an agency of the . Etigles in Hammond is busy making: arrangements to have the fair come to this city on the ISth to remain for a length of time not yet decided upon. Henry ' Eisner, representing the Eagle lodge, 1 one of the men who are negotiating for the use of the O. H. Hammond field that was formerly the H. A. A. ball park. This tract of ground is located opposite the Hotel Carelton and the Michigan Central freight depot. AVIH Illuminate Planmtr. In order to encourage people to make the trip down Plummer off Hoh"man street to the grounds the Eagles will Illuminate that street at their own expense if the show comes. There is no doubt but what everything will mature as planned if the park can be secured. Before considering the offer of the Reiss people William Eisner wired to various towns where they had shown and received replies very flattering to the carnival. At Brasil, Ind., he learned that they were the best crowd that had ever made that town and that the lodge under whose auspices they showed profited to the extent of 600 by their stay. Tho Eagles will advertise the carnival as soon as definite arrangements have been made. J. E. Hill, one of the promoters with the Reiss shows was In Hammond last night and stated that he favors the" bringing of the carnival to the city. He said that the Reiss fair has been employed by the Shriners at various towns and is known as a highly respectable company. Don't forget August 16.

Sheridan of Frankfort, referee In bankruptcy for this district, who was appointed special master by Judge Anderson to submit findings in the Involuntary bankruptcy proceedings involving the Interstate Construcstruction company of Hammond, sat in the case yesterday to hear additional evidence and oral arguments. The session was ended at 5 o'clock and it is expected that he will submit his findings to Judge Anderson within a few days. The William Dee company of Chicago Is the principal petitioner, charging that the company had made the First National bank and the Citizens German National bank of Hammond preferred creditors in violation of the bankruptcy law. The First National bank was represented by Attorneys Whlnery and Wilson, the Citizens bank by Attorney J. K. Stinson, and the costruction compay by Attorney J. F. Rellly. r About People Some Chats Wilh Folks On Things of Interest A veteran of a thousand scoops, II. R. W. Smith of Hammond, a retired newspaper man, is the dean of this city's Fourth Estate. A half century of service in the metropolitan field has furnished him with a fund of experience that but few In the United State have. Enjoying a rest In his declining years the editor reads the best in literature, entertains with reminiscences and is respected and revered by all. Yet he Is hardly content for the pressure that at times is almost unbearable to the newspaper man is at the same time hla salvation and Smith would lpve to be back in the harness though he is now Independent. Trained under the greatest of the great." Pullitser, Lane, Medlll, and lat ter taking his place with them, he Is thoroughly a Journalist. The power Is still there but the pressure has gone, a blessing which at times he reflects is not altogether desirable. In every profession it Is the stflhe. The men at the top of the ladder are not content when they are above the multitude and on a pedestial. They wish that more rounds were provided for them. Mr. Smith has spent his life in Journalism which he considers the greatest business in the world and in that line'he climbed by dint of industry and marked ability to the top. Jin Cincinnati they will tell you that the Hammond man Is author of the famous Enquirer's style of headlines, the most unique in the country. He has covered every assignment from a Are to the Inauguration of a president, his stories have been copied, praised and forgotten as the greatest newspaper stories are. He has created public sentiment in a city like New York, a feat that governors generally fail in doing, and has thought nothing of it. Day after day, as reporter, special writer and editor, he has provided the millions on and around Manhattan isle with their dally brain food, for New TIME ISJE TEST The Testimony- of Hammond People Stands the Test. The test of time is what tells the tale. The public soon finds out when misrepresentations are made, and merit alone will stand the test of time. Hammond people appreciate merit, and many months ago local citizens publicly endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills; they do so still. Would a citizen make the statement whlnh follows unless convinced that the article was just as represented? Below Is testimony such as the sufferers from kidney Ills Is looking for. Mrs. James Hartline, 820 Pine St., Hammond, Ind., says: "I am never without a box of Doan's Kidney Pills In the house, as I consider them the best kidney medicine I have ever used. You may continue to publish the statement I gave, recommending them some years ago. One of my family took Doan's Kidney Pills when suffering from pain in his back and ! trouble with the kidney secretions. This remedy acted beneficially and soon- brought relief."

GREAT WORK BEING

ED W. B. Conkey, head of America's largest publishing house, and Frank Esshom, dean of Denver editors, are exchanging compliments these days. Mr. Conkey finds in Esshom's biography of the Latter Day Saint s church a 'remarkable and unique volume and j frankly admires the organisation of talent that is preparing it for the press. In return Mr. Esshom sees in the Conkey plant the best equipped and most scientifically managed printing establishment in the country. As evidence of this he brought his work to Hammond after inspecting the big publishing houses of the United States and let the contract at an advanced rate. Want Conkey Says. "Mr. Esshom has assembled twentyfive editors from the leading Denver and Utah papers, as well as the Chicago dailies," said Mr. Conkey this morning. "We have 250 skilled workmen on the Job. The order is so large that a great part or the composition Is done at our Chicago plant where we have 26 linotype machines. You must know that 1,800 pages containing 8,000 Illustrations is quite a volume." Without encouragement the Job came to Conkey's. After an inspection of the plant Editor Esshom talked business. Up to that time he had not been in a great hurry to place the work which had taken him six years to compile. But he was easily satisfied that the Hammond establishment Is the logical place. Twf7-Mv a Work. Out of forty editorial candidates who were accepted fifteen were eliminated and the rest are at work now in the Conkey plant. Approach Editor Esshom and introduce yourself as a genealogist and you will be hired on Yorkers live for the theatre and the newspaper.' His 'career has been notable and he Is known from one end of the country to the other by veteran newspapermen like himself. The youngsters forget though. They' have no respect for precedent. Last ' year's star may today be a desk man. his identity lost, and the rise and fall In the game Is little thought of. But when a man continues to stay on top as did Mr. Smith it is thought remarkable. "The Times," he said, "is thoroughly a gooa iitBpaper nom . man's standpoint as well as the public view. It covers Lake county like the dew and I read It each night for the ' - - In the small town a newspaperman has is more identity and a great deal ore 'J1 .morrow to the man he got ye.term to day s story from.'

ELSNER HAS HIS HANDS FULL William Eisner, the clothier, will lave Saturday for a two-week fishing excursion on Kltnger lake in northern Michigan. He has the names of sixty men who he haa promised to provide with fish that are to be caught on the trip. Eisner says that he can fulfill all orders and any one desiring to be presented with baas', croppies or pickerel are requested to leave their name and address in his place of business on State street, west of Hohman. "Mr. Eisner," the sporting editor re

marks, "Is an optimist." The sporting editor has gone a-fUhing himself. Aubry In East. Edward A. Aubry, 232 Michigan avenue, it, with his wife at the home of her parents in Rochester, N. Y.

On a complaint charging him with dunning a house of ill-fame, Antone Uxables, an East Hammond saloonkeeper, is being tried this afternoon befoufi Judge Ames. Only part of the evidence has been heard and on account of the large number of witnesses who are to testify a decision is not expected today. Attorney John A. Gavit is appearing for the defense. Joe's Retribution. Joe Hunt, who lives with his widowed mother In 703 Oakley avenue, has learned the principles of retribution as it Is taught to us in paper backs and at the ten, twenty and thirty-cent melodrama. He shot Rodman Hardeety, 7-year-old son of Mrs. Julia Hardesty, 704 Oakley avenue. As the weapon he used was an air rifle and the wound the steel beads made happened to be on the other's leg, nothing serious, developed. But a little while after that Joe broke his arm while cranking a Golden Bros." motor truck. He is only 10 and a trifle light for automobiling. Now something tells him that he Is being punished for shooting his play- ) fellow and he Is making overtures for ' a happy reunion. At the time of the firing he was across tne street ana probably took Rodman for an Indian or a bull moose. - But Rodman's mother can't . see It through a 10-year-old boy'a eyes. Building Looms Up. From State and Hohman streets the new Otto Knoerzer building on the southwest side of the Broken Corner looms up, though half completer!, In fine style. It gives the others a metropolitan aspect that is aided and abetted by the Hotel Mee and its electric sign. If an electric sign Is placed on the Knoerzer block It will be a great chance for an advertiser. Work on the new building is being rushed and it Is expected that the walls will be complete soon and the roof placed on in a hurry. It will be ready for occupancy In the fall.

GIRLS SHOULD BE TAUGHT ART NEEDLE WORK An embroidered piece should be washed by Itself In an earthen bowl to avoid the possibilities of rust or other stain. Take fairly hot water and make a light suds of Ivory or any other pure soap. Wash quickly. If the linen is soiled, rub that portion between the hands. Rinse thoroughly in clean water and lay the piece fiat between two dry towels or thick linen cloths. Roll up in these so that no part of the embroidery can touch any other part of the same linen, and wring or twist so that the dry linen will absorb the moisture. Leave In this condition until the material Is absolutely dry. Lay the piece face down upon a well-padded Ironing board, spread clean, white cloth over the embroidery and iron quickly and lightly with a hot Iron, being careful not to press too heavily upon the em broidered portion. A hot Iron placed upon embroideries in which silk is wet will produce a steam, which will ruin the embroidery To remove scorch from linen, put two ounces of Fuller's earth Into a saucepan, add a half ounce of white soap, the Juice of two large onions, and one cupful of vinegar. Boil together for a few minutes, strain into a Jar and keep covered for future use. spread on the scorched parts with a knife and allow it to dry on.
