The testimony of IA ghost would not
now count for much in a court of law, but
the day has been when ii has sufficed to
a man. II is stated tina: the original
dispositions are in the Bodleian library of a
most remarkable case of this character.

posed to have been sent away for her good
by a substantial farmer. Some time after

wounds. and telling him that she had been
murdered by the farmer and an accom-
plice. Her body. the apparition said. had
been buried in Il spot which she ucscrInsd'
and she begged the man to whom she
appeared to bring her murderers TO jus

in the place mentioned and the men were
brought to trial. The sensational char

LET'S MEET
AND UNITY
Dedication of the Federal
Building Fit Occasion for
Getting Together.
B BUSINESS MEN SAY
April ] Suggested as Right Time For
Joining Lake County Cities in
One Municipality.

Almalgamation day April first. That
is the plan that has been suggested by
several of the business men of Ham
mond and East Chicago to celebrate the
dedicating of Hammond's fine new
federal building.
1t is proposed that all of the bust
ness houses in both cities declare a
half holiday in honor Of the occasion
and orators of national fame be Sc
cured as speakers OF the day.
In the evening a banquet could be
held at which various phases of the re-
lationship of the three cities could be
discussed by the representatives from
the cities concerned and it is believed
that the day would be productive OF
much good in bringing about better
understanding between the people of
the two communities whether actual
amalgamation resulted or not.
The United States federal building is
not only to be occupied by the local
post office but 1t is also the home of the
United States district court for the
district of Indiana and will be the head
quarters of the internal revenue en-
ployes and all Of the other federal off,
GERS.
This being true the people of East
Chicago and Indiana Harbor have what
might be called a part ownership In the
building and are interested in its COM
pletion. This is why the promoters OF
the idea of an amalgamation day think
1T would be a good opportunity for the
business men of the two communities
to get together.
Make 1t Holiday.
1t has been a long time since Ham
mond has had a gala day and with the
Standard Steel Car company nearing
completion about this time there would
be plenty cause for jollif1cation.
1t is also understood that East Chi
cago is working on some new industries
that together with the ones that are al
ready building win mean great boom
for this city. With great prosperity
present and prospective for both cities
it is believed that the occasion would
be a memorable one.
Several years ago the business men
of Hammond had a banquet which was
attended by the business men of this
city and several invited guests from
Chicago and other near by places and
to this day it is remembered as the
most elaborate and dignified affair that
has ever been held In this city
It is believed that If another such
affair could be held at this time witt
the people of East Chicago, Indiana
Harbor and Hammond as the partic-
| ipants a big step would be taker
towards a better understanding.
With Hammond and East Chicago
rubbing shoulders in the very hearts
of this marvellous Calumet region ant
with a splendid future in store for botf
cities there is no reason why they
should not work together for good Of
! both.

HAMMOND SEEKS NO FAvORs
Peter Meyn Says Town Needs to Offer
No Bonus to Enduce Industries
to Locate.

1T is no longer necessary for the
people of Hammond to give land and
a bonus to secure industries and If a
million dollar concern was willing to
locate in Hammond tomorrow provid-
ing the city would give them five acres
of land, 1 for one would not be willing
that it should be done"
1t was in this manner that Peter w.
Meyn Of the real estate firm of Gostlin,
Meyn & Co. secuted the idea that the
business men of this city would give
the Clayton Plow Works a site for that
plant that 1t is said they would like to
build here.
The time has arrived when the ad-
vantages of Hammond for industries
are so great that instead of seeking
factories it is expected that from now
on sites will be eagerly sought by the
officials of concerns who have the fore
sight to see in Hammond a western
PittSburg.

TEACHERS WILL ASK FOR
MATERIAL INCREASE IN PAY.
Although there is Enough Money in the

Especial to Lake County Times.

Especial to Lake County Times.)
Indianapolis. Ind, Dec. 24.-The teach
ers of the State will go into the next
legislature and ask for real increase
in their pay. They have done this be-
fore; and some good has resulted. They
go in this year with stronger and bet
ter organized backing than ever before.
The report of the state Educational
Commission showed that the bonus of
the present low wages was on the diff
ferent communities themselves. They
might pay a higher wage to the teach
er even under the present laws. but
they have not? They are now paying
little higher than the minimum that
they must pay. So the teachers are
going to strike at the heart of the mat
ter by getting this minimum raised.
And they are asking for a real advance
in the minimum.
There are three grades of teachers.
according to the present classification
one grade gets as a minimum salary
21s times the grade he makes upon the
examination: this is daily wage; those
Of next class get 21a times their grade;
and those OF the highest class get IA
times their grade as a daily wage.
These are the minimum salaries that
communities must pay.
The new proposition raised all of
these-the lowest to 21k times the
grade; the second to times the grade;
and the third to 3 ~ times the grade.
And when the fact that highest grade
teachers under the. proposed law viii
have to set at least $50 q month. it will
be realized that this innocent looking
increase makes considerable differ
ence.

Having enjoyed the rest Of yester<
day Hammond shoppers threw them
selves into the final rush today for
their Christmas shopping. It has
been the last day and everybody. es-
pecially the workingmen who had been
putting off their buying as long as
possible got out to secure their pres
ents. Making a rough estimate OF
things that were bought today in the
stores this seemed to be the useful
present day"
Another feature Of the day was the
buying Of victuals, especially in the
meat line. II was a common sight on
the streets to see men walking along
carrying under their arms a goose.
turkey or a nice rooster. There surely

became louder and toward 4 o'clock IN
the afternoon there began creeping
over the city the spirit OF Christmas
eve. Friends meeting and parting
greeted each other with Merry
Christmas" The shoppers became
more excited. seeing their time wane
and still undecided as to what to get.

have been the best one presented here
this year. The chorus left nothing to
wish for those who enjoy dancing and
singing. Fred Mace as the umpire,
however, was the star attraction and
was as comical in Hammond as he had
been in Chicago on the many times that
he appeared there.

costume pleased especially those who
are interested in the game. The at

The working of this principle of success is readily
