DR.. Bell, a well known citizen of
Hammond, was visitor at the state
house today. Concerning the con-
cago, a subject of interest TO north
western Indiana, he said: THE rail
roads ought to be forced to do their
part An incomplete harbor is now
being built from the lake to the rail
road tracks and the present canal will
be dredged south of the railroad tracks
and the next legislature will be asked
TO compel the railroads to construct
swinging bridges
In respect of the number of visitors
and receipts, last week was the banner
week of the Indiana soldiers and
sailors monument. There We're 3,400
visitors who paid 500 for visiting the
monument The monument was c,ksed
on Thursday out of respect to Presi-
dent Mckinley, or otherwise the ad
missions would have exceeded 1000.
The monument is continuing attrac-
ton. but il is doubtful whether it will
ever be self-sustaining.
Another Indiana consul at Zanzibar
is Ell route home, having given up his
job in disgust. This man is Charles
Martin county Republican committee.
In leaving his position he is following
the example of j. c. Billheimer. of
Washington, Dayiess county, and r.
L. Mansfield. of Marion, who found
the canabalStic environments of the
far away land more than they could
endure.
