ArbOr DaY at The School Houses.

At an informal meeting of the town
council at which every member was
present. it was decided to set Friday,
Jan. 26th for the planting of
trees i'm and around the school yard
and every citizen and patron OF the
school is requested to assist in the
work, to the extent Of setting at least
one tree.
The plan is this. The ground will
be laid out and stake driven down
at each place where tree is to be
planted and numbered, after which a
plat will be made showing as near as
possible the exact location Of each
stake in relation to the school house
and outside line of the grounds. This
plat will be placed on exhibition at
the secretaries Office and anyone may
select the numbert they prefer, provided
that number has not been selected. A
list of the names OF those who select
and the number selected will be kept
among the records of the town ant
will also be inscribed ion good paper
and framed and hung in the schoo,
house. Each one selecting one O.
these numbers agrees to set there {
tree of the variety and size as speci
fed and should it die to replace i,
with one of like kind at the proper
time. For the sake of uniformity anG
to obtain. as we believe the best re-
suits, the board has decided that the
trees shall all be water oaks, not less
than ten nor more than twelve inches
in circumference. The pruning anG

from this life are his wife, son and
two sisters.
Bro. Ingle had been in failing health
forIseveral years, but until few weeks
ago had been able to 90 about. For
the past few weeks he was confined to
the house and spent most of the time
in his invalid chair, waking or Sleep
ing. He was patient with all his suf-
fering.s He realized his time was short
and was ready to 60 and be at rest.
Bro. Ingle was an old resident, we'll
known and much loved.
The funeral services were held at
the Methodist church, Wednesday,
Jan. 18th at2 p. M, conducted by
the pastor, Rev. E. r. Houck. The
large congregation that filled the
church evidenced the high esteem in
which the deceased was held. His
comrades of the G. A. r. attended
in body to pay their last tribute of
love to their brother departed.
The remains were laid to rest in the
cemetry just east of town. The many
friends will deeply sympathize with
the grief stricken family.

to reject any not coming up to the
above requirements, or that may
from any cause be unit. The plat
will be ready after Monday, 22nd and
those wishing numbers should make
their selections as early as possible.
There will be between 30 and 60 of
these trees and while we believe there
will be more requests than numbers,
if it should happen that they were not,
some other arrangements will be made
to have them set.

DICKENS CHARACTERS LIVE
UNDER LECTURERS TREATMENT
Second Entertainment of Course BE-
gun by Hammond Organization Holds
Audience SpeIIbOund-Pictures
Costumes Add to Vividnesa.

The second entertainment Of the lee
ture and entertainment course under
the auspices of the Hammond Lecture
association. was given yesterday even~
ing in Taper hall.
Prof. William Sterling BATHS held the
entire attention of his audience with
his Life Portrayals from Dickens" in
costume. His impersonation Of Charles
Dickens himself at the age OF hfty-s
reading a selection from Martin Chux-
zlewit" was especially good. His i'm
personation of the moral Pecksniff the
quaint goodhearted Captain Cutie
and Mrs. McStinger from 'Dombey and
Son" the 'umble but hypocritical Uriah
Heep. Peggotty, and Miccwber who
was ever hoping for something to turn
up" were most graphically given. The
witty and original Sam Weller, the
despicable and brutal Bill Skies and the
depraved Fagin from Oliver Twist,
Rogue Riderhood from Our Mutual
Friend" the poor old grandfather of
Little Nell from "Old Curiosity Shop
and the Noble Hearted Castaway''.
Sidney Carton from Tales of Two
Cities" were skillfully presented. The
fantastic costumes added to the vivid
ness Of the characters and gave them
living personality.

"Strike" Among Pupils
Brings Notoriety to
Miss Alma Savage
SAY SHE CALLS NAMES
Whiting Scholars Mutiny, But One
Stern Glance Tells Them
Where They're at.

Again the school teacher steps into
the limelight. this time in Whiting.
Not because of her beauty or her
charms. however but on the contrary
because she is disliked.
The pupils in the seventh grade in
the McGregor building. numbering
about forty. arose in a body yesterday
afternoon after they had decided on a
walkout because they had come to the
conclusion that their teacher. Miss
Savage, was simply intolerable. What
ever the merits OF the case may be
the timely appearance OF Miss Savage
prevented the walkout She did nos
make so much ado about IT. but merely
swept the room with a glance which
had the desired effect. Not even tha
boldest dared TO defy that look. ana
silently each one took his seat and
awaited the punishment that was sure
to follow. The punishment did come
after school hours when the entire
class was compelled to remain for half
an hour.
No special charge is made aglnst the
teacher by her pupils, unless it be the
general dislike that nearly every one
seems to have toward her. The SYM
pathy of the parents seems to be with
the children as many of them have
come home crying, telling Of seedlings
that they had received, which t.
considered unjust
Others came home and told OF hav-
ing been called Names" such as
Crocodile" idiot" etc.
Even the name of Miss Savage did
not seem TO make a good impression
on her pupils from the beginning.
There seemed to be something in Ii
that they dreaded.
superintendent J. Hall has taken no
steps in the matter. Miss Savage has
taken up her work again today and
proposes to continue until the end OF
the school term.

The house and bridges are built OF tree

south side. The paths in the park Will
be graveled next spring, when few
more finishing touches will be added.
The work is artistic throughout and

SPLENDID FUTURE IS
PREDICTED FOR DUNE PARK.
Steps on Foot for POstOffice-TaIk of
Digging n Canal and Building n
HnrbOr Is Revived.

The Chesterton Tribune foresees
great things for Dune and in this
weeks issue has the following:
There is something doing at Dune
Park. The site of this burg is owned
by the Kniokerbocker Ice company.
This concern has made a huge fortune
shipping the sandhills to Chicago and
vicinity for filling and building pur-
poses and now 1t begins to look as
though they intended to build a manu-
featuring city there Steps are now on
foot to establish a postof1ce at Dune
Park, and this week a gang Of sur
veyors are at work plating a townsite.
At least, this is the report that comes
from there by men who work at the
Park. For some time a plan has been
hanging fire which provides the digging
of a canal from the Calumet river at
this point to Lake Michigan, and in
view of the certainty of this being done
some day, the Knickerbockers have
made a huge cut through the sand

hills straight away from the Lake
Shore railroad to the lake. 1t is said
that the fall between the river and
the lake at this point is 10 feet. If
the waters of the Calumet were turned
into the lage at this point 1t would
create a fine harbor, and at the same
time relieve towns below of much of
the food waters and drain thousands
of acres OF land between Dune Park
and Michigan City A. F. Knots,
Peter Crumpacker, Charles C. Wicker
and a number of other land owners
are interested in the scheme, and we
also understand that the drainage com
mission of Chicago has an interest in
the proposed work. There is some
thing doing, but just what is now the
big question"
