HAMMOND MAN'S
BROTHER MORDEREO
The new filing system in the superior
courthouse, of which Miss Alice Bloss-
er, ia to have charge, was arranged to
day.
After today, lawyers will find the
pleadings in all the criminal, civil and probate cases on file on the second
floor, the steel cabinet having been
removed from the various courtrooms for this purpose. The system is in
tended to put an end to a practice un
der which lawyers were wont to carry
away affidavits, complaints, demurrers,
petitions, cross bills, jackets and all.
The three court judges have promised
the clerks that they will uphold them
ia the rules that they lay down
Accordingly a lawyer or a layman
instead of simply helping himself to the valuable records, must ask lor
them at Miss Blosser's window. In
the first place he must show an ap
pearance in the case, which is made a matter of record. Original copies will
not be given out under any circum
stances. A lawyer must give his re
eipt for the copy and is allowed to
have the latter only three days to
make his office copy. This time limit
ia aet to give other lawyers an oppor
tunity to get hold of the copy if there are more than one party to the de
fense. Miss Blosser will probably have
the "job" of breaking in the lawyers to the new system, but as she will be

who operate a string of stores throughout the state of Indiana, se
cured the lease of a room in the Cen
tral block, one door north of the Maine restaurant, and will plan to open up for business before the first of November. Mr. Friedman, their representative, was In Hammond looking over their new field the later part of last week, and as the American Clothing stores have proven popular in other cities Mr. Friedman ia of the opinion that the new clothing store will gain much favor in Hammond. The store will be the only one of its kind in the city and in fact this section of the region. Nothing but suits and overcoats will be placed on sale and the large stock will be thrown open for public inspection at a price of $9.99, no more or no less. Alterations were started on the interior of the store this morning and If plans do not fall through the new clothing company hope to open their
doors by October 25. Watch Thb Times
for the official date of the grand opening.

Singing a Feature.
The Deluxe Theatre has a feature
this week that is packing the house.
The Columbia Four, Hammond's star
quartette are singing classic and popu
lar songs. Everyone knows how
meritorious the quartet is.
A boy came forward Sunday night and sat down between a a woman and a man whose hair is turning gray. All were there to confess their sins. Three years ago when Dr. Scoville was here this boy begged and begged that he might go forward, but mamma said he was too young. Here is the prayer that he has whispered on bended knees every night for three years and three months, cold or hot, tired or troubled. It is his own: "In my heart is a little house where no one but Jesus can dwell. Dear, Mr. Lord keep me from sin so that I can in Heaven come, and bless Dr. Scoville." PRAYERS LIKE THAT GIVE DR. SCOVILLE THE POWER TO BRING MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN TO CHRIST THROUGH THE GOSPEL. Hear him tonight. The admission is free. The Rally Meetings close Friday. Mrs. Arlene Dux Scoville will sing tonight and Carrol E. Marty play his gold cornet. You are expected to be at the Calumet Avenue Christian church this evening at 7:30. Nine hundred were there last night, a record for Monday night. The church will be jammed tonight.
