SPELLING INDIAN woRns.

The Muskogee q. T.) Phenix. of last week has this to say about a matter which there are wide differences of opinion and practice, not merely as to the name referred to. but to many oth- CTS of Indian origin:
 Shall Muskogee be spelled with a K or c? This is the question which has been giving trouble to the Board of Geographic names at Washing Recently c. F.

Used to Experiment.

Chicago, Dec. 14.-Mrs Herman Bill
lilz, wife of the fortune teller charged
with the murder of six members Of
the vrzal family, was arraigned in the
Hyde Park municipal court today and
fight for her freedom was started
Her attorney, o. L. Koler, demanded
that she be given an immediate trial
and that any evidence against her be
prduced in order that the woman might
attempt to secure her freedom.
The police resisted every effort to
permit the woman to gain her release
on bonds. They asserted that she had
guilty knowledge of the deaths of the
Vrzal family and should be charged
with murder, as is her husband.
At the close of the hearing Mrs. Bill
lil1 was ordered released on bonds and an
attempt was also made to secure the
necessary surety.
Startling information came to In
spector Shippy at a late night con
ference with neighbors of Billik's.
These neighbors declared that the man
had kept dogs to experiment with.
They declared that the dogs slowly
sickened and died.
1t has also been discovered that Bill
lik pawned Vrzars watch in Cleveland,

HOORAY! HIP,
HIP HOORAY
Hammond Schools Will Not
Be Open Monday Pre-.
ceding Christmas.
QUESTION IS SETTLED
McDaniels Not Influenced by Outside
Superintendents Rulings In
This Matter.

The Hammond schools viii be.
CLOSED on Monday. Dec "a.
Since it has been announced from
various sections of the country that the
schools in the localities from which
the announcements came are to be open
the Monday preceding Christmas day,
there has been much speculation among
the pupils as to whether this deplorable
condition would be carried out with
reference to the Hammond schools.
Christmas. as everybody knows who
lives where there are children. falls on
Tuesday this year. The schools will
be closed on Saturday and Sunday the
week prior to the gladstone holiday.
as they are every week and IN the natur-
al order OF things 1t would seem that,
once closed on Friday the schools would
continue thus theneeforth until tho end
of the holiday vacation. However,
there has been a disposition on the
part of the autocrats of many of the
institutions where the young idea is
taught to shoot, to take cognizance OF
the existence of the Monday before
| Christmas and exclude 1t from the holi-
day Vacation. The edict has brought
gloom TO the hearts of thousands of
iiehHdren whose homes are at distance
krom the scene or their occupation, anu
who We're N hopes that they might
enjoy the added three days the final
closing of the school on Friday would
afford.
When the word first went abroad
among some Of the school children in
Hammond that Monday would be OBJ
served as a day for the pursuit Of
knowledge, there was CONSERVATION
and those who took stock began to
formulate ways and means of escaping
from the disagreeable duties on the
intervening day" There is no doubt
that colds and coughs and old fashion,
ed stomach ache would be epidemic
on that day, had superintendent Nc
Daniel seen fit to declare open school
on that occasion.
But superintendent Mcdaniel knew
and the children are gloating over their
ap dthe children are glooting over their
| less fortunate fellows in other cities.
I think it would be foolish to de-
| prive the teachers Of the extra three
days of their holiday to which the
single days school would amount in
the case of many Of them who live
at a distance and wish to spend their
vacation at home" he announced.
Then too, very little would be accom-
plished in the way of study If the
schools were to be kept open on the
single day intervening between the
double holiday of Saturday and sun
day and the greatest holiday of all,
Christmas. 1t is doubtful If either chill
dren or teachers could enter into the
spirit of work under the circumstances
and 1t looks to ne like an arbitrary
ruling which would only accomplish
the putting in Of one days time by
those affected. The teachers should be
considered, especially in this matter,
as 1t effects them more than it does
the children in a great many instances.

ADDRESSES TEACHERS
Series of Talks to Keep Instructors
in Touch With Educational
Progress.

l. S. Shirley. the field agent of the
wabash college. was the principal
speaker at the monthly teachers meet
ing this afternoon and took as his
subject Opportunities OF Teacher"
Mr.. shlrley's address was a masterful
one and the subject was one OF great
interest to those who had that op-
portunity of hearing 1t.
This was the second Of a series Of
talks that have been arranged by
Superintendent McDaniels for the pur-
pose of keeping the teachers IN touch
with the progress being made the
educational world.
The first OF these talks was Is Pro
fessor Lawrence McTurner. deputy
state superintendent who took as his
subject. Efficiency in School Work"
the second was as stated above and
the third is to be given in January by
L. a. Grover of the book firm OF Atkin-
son. Metzger & Grover. who is reputed
to be polished and scholarly talker.
Mr. Shirley was pastor OF the La
Grange, (Ind.) Presbyterian church be-
fore he took up the work for Wa
bash college and in his address en-
phasized the Importance Of the char
acter building as compared with the
intellectual development OF the child.
He said that it was equally important
that the child's school environment
and the influence of the teacher should
result in the moral and spiritual de-
velopment of the child as to make a
mental prodigy OF him.
Two other points that were touched
upon were the Importance of develop
ing a spirit of dependence on SELF in

MARKHAM AND MAX TO THE MAT
President of Neighboring Village and Former Henchman
Lock Horns-Demands Attorneys Resignation.

West Hammond wants more light.
1t wants that kind of light that will
show the villagers their way home
in the evening. The question should
have come up at the regular meeting
of the board last night. Instead there
came a far different light, it being on
the Doodle situation that is known to
exist there.
Peter Max, president of the viii
lage, and Samuel X. Markham. the
hired village attorney from Chicago,
have locked horns and for the first
time the clatter of the fight was heard
before the public. IT is now Peter
Maks one object to Gust Markham, and
at the session last night he handed in
his formal charges against him.
The trouble started some time ago
but 1t did not break out until last
night Who cut the bond of friend
ship has not been learned yet, but 1t
is said that one of the two must have
asked an awful price of the other to
bring about this open breach
The evenings session was intended
TO discuss a better lighting system for
the village, but instead the evening
was given over to squabbling and
Wieklinskl, preferring to discuss the
lighting question when Alderman Roh-
wedder should be present. made a mo-
tion to adjourn.
Some surprise was expressed that
Rohwedder should have been absent on
so important an occasion.
The cheese was cut last night when
Clerk Finneran read a letter which he
received some time ago from Mark
man. In the letter he told the clerk
that he had telephone conversation
with Peter Max regarding the bonds
given by Contractor Haley for the pro-
posed sewer but which, instead OF be-
ing in the hands of the clerk. were in
the hands of Peter Max. Clerk Fin
neran read the letter to the close and
in it Markham quoted Max as saying
Judge Walker can go to h" when
Markham said the bonds were to be
delivered by Judge Walkers order.
Ask for Explanation.
After the close of the letter one
board member wanted to know why
Max was In possession of the bonds
when they lawfully should be In the
clerks hands.
Before Max could answer Markham
was on his feet and quoted law on the
matter and said that Peter Max was
guilty of malfeasance in Office. Mark
man went on further to score Max on
general principles, when Max raped
for order and shouted at Markham:

Buys Six and Will Build
Three Hundred More
At Once.
MORRIS BUILDS TEN
Hammond Is Real Estate Crazy and
Mraket Is Active at Usually
Dull Time.

Although the month of December is
usually quiet one for the real estate
men, there was never greater activity
in Hammond during the busines sea
son than there is at the present time.
One Of the most startling announce
ments is the fact that the Standard
Steel Car company contemplates build
ing 800 residences in the eastern por-
tion of Hammond TO be occupied by
their employees. The officials of the car
company do not seem to have much
faith in the ability of the Hammond
people to provide houses for the army
of workmen who are about to invade
the town and are therefore taking the
initiative themselves.
1t is also understood that Morris and
LowenthaI who are now selling lots
on the Morris plat which lies
east of Columbia avenue and opposite
the race track are about TO let the con-
tract for the building of ten residences
which will be completed by spring and
as soon as they are sold 1t is under
stood that ten more are to be built.
Yesterday Gostlin, Meyn & Company
transacted the greatest amount of busi-
ness in the history Of the firm. In all
seven residences were SOlQ with q IOEaI
value over $4,000 SIX Of these We're
the brick houses which were built by
the Hammond investment company
some time ago.
This deal is the best possible proof
that it pays 10 build houses. The six
brick residences have Just been com
pleted at a cost of about $4,000 each and
were sold TO the Standard Steel Car
company for $4,000 each
/ The town is real estate crazy and
there is hardly a day passes that some
/ remarkable transaction does not take
place. The strangers who are coming
in from outside towns are the largest
purchasers and it now appears that the
people are accepting Billy Gostlin's
theory that It is best 10 sell at even
a smaller profit and keep turning over
ones money than to bury 1t In any one
piece of property. You'll never &C
broke accepting profits" says Billy.

who tried to walk away with that
certified check when the sewer con-
tract was let?"
What's that! What's that?" an
swered Markham. DO you mean to
accuse me?"
"Tll fix your clack. young fellow" an
swered Max, again rapping for order
and at the same time drawing a lengthy
document from the depths of his coat.
which document he handed to the clerk.
In the meantime the village clerk set
tied back in his chair muttering under
his breath: you - - thiefm
That was not the first time that there
had been cursing going on in the city
hall last evening.
Max now swung his club over Mark
man by having the latter's dismissal
order read. naming therein about a
dozen charges on which he should be
discharged, among the more prominent
ones being that he not only took money
but did not give the city the desired
services, and to put them all together,
that 1t is for the benefit of the vii
lage that he be ousted as a CRATER"
When the question came to vote
Wieklinski moved that it be tabled
until the next session.
Question About NIaks Bond.
Another hitch occurred when John
Yarck arose to ask about Peter Mak's
bond Before Max could answer,
Markham was on his feet explaining
that Max was not legally In Office
because he did not have his IS, 900
bonds that were required and that his
brother. Baldus, his former bondsman,
had signfied his intention to step out
as Peters bondsman. That 1t was up
to the board to oust Max or require
a new bond.
While Markham was prodding the
board against Max. John Mannon, who
was in the audience arose and asked
permission to speak. He did speak and
in no uncertain way He accused
Markham of double crossing" charg-
ing him with having stood by Max a
few weeks ago when his brother,
Baldus Max. wanted to retreat from me
bond, and that he is now arrayed
against the very man whom he tried
to uphold. Mannon wanted an ex-
PLANTATION for Markman's change IN
feeling. In the meantime Max sat in
his chair. saying nothing. Then when
order was again restored he once more
reached into the recesses of his coat
and drew forth another document This
time it was his new bond, signed by
Arnold b. Krzyzanowsl1i and John
Hessler.
