ton Approaches.

AT meeting of the West Hammond
democrats held at the White Eagle
hall on the south side last Sunday.
Trustee Henry WlekIinski called the
meeting to order and announced the
purpose of the meeting was to select
a candidate for the presidency of the
village. After debating on the ques-
ton for about an hour it finally was
decided to put up Jacob Czasewich.
who was at one time village presi-
dent.
Trustee Wleklinski, who had charge
of the meeting declared that ever since
the village had been incorporated there
had been wholesale Doodle and graft
ing going on and that the only way
to stop it was to select candidates who
! will work in the interest of the village
and the people.
Joseph Goyke, the village treasurer,
was also present and made speech on
the political situation in the village
that was approved by those present.
The south end democrats are divided

ination on the democratic ticket as
follows: Peter Max, Jacob Czasewich,
Frank Green, NJ. J. Sonnenberg, Max
Stankwish, John Kowalski, George
Lukoswich and Frank Mistbmoch.

TOWLE OPERA HOUSE.

In the building of Swell Elegant
Jones'" the scenes of which are laid
in an Indiana resort Martinsville, near
indianapolis, there has been a happy
combination of the Kendall way of hui
NOR, sane and interesting story, attrac-
tive stage pictures with wholesome
comedy, and the interpolated mono
logues of Mr.. Kendall, have proven so
distinctly popular that they have
scored one of the biggest hits of the
show. The story told in Swell Ele-
giant Jones' and the locality allows for
the introduction of some of the most
quantity drawn characters ever intro
duced in a rural comedy and these
provide effective foils for Mr.. Kendall
besides providing liberal share of the
comedy. There are no overdrawn OF
heavy situations and problems but the
play throughout sparkles with bright
wit and comedy, keen repartee, home
ly philosophy and sharp witticism. Al

SCIENTIFIC SLAB FOR A. HUDIG
Unclaimed Corpse of LabOrer Gees to
Valparaiso Medical School.

A. Hudig, the stranger, who was &C
cidentally killed last Saturday by a
Michigan Central train, is one of the
few in this section whose remains will
find no rest not even in a potters field.
They were received yesterday morn
ing at the Valparaiso university in the
school of anatomy. here they will be
embalmed to keep for any length of
time. partly for Identification, but prin-
cipally for the dissection.
From a scrap of paper found in his
clothes, it might be taken that his
name is "Hudig" and that his home is
in Newburgh, n. Y, but nobody there
seemingly can identify him.
While there is law in Indiana Civ
ing schools of anatomy the right to
claim any unclaimed body for dissec-
ton, still this prerogative has not often
been used by the schools at least not
in Lake county, and Hudig is one Of
the few who have been taken to VAL
paraiso.

INDIANA HARBOR
STORK IS BUSY
Leaves Three Girl Babies In
Different Places at the
Same Time.

How can the stork leave three ba-
bies in different places at the same
time is the problem that is puzzling
the people of Indiana Harbor at the
present time.
For time it looked as though some
one had put up job on the doctors,
for trouble broke out in three different
parts of the city at the same time and
the only thing possible to do under
the circumstances was to turn in a
general alarm for be it remembered
that the number of doctors in the city
is limited.
The homes where the arrivals were
welcomed are all the homes of well
known people, too, and that makes the
coincidence of their arrival all the
more interesting.
Another matter of note is the fact
that all of the arrivals were girls.
Eugene Bennatte, one of the popular
BARRIERS at the Harbor begun his first
day as a father. Just at the time
when he expected to be the center of
attraction as a preventer of race sui
eide, he was met by Fred Gastel, the
former teller of the Indiana Harbor
State bank, who informed him of the
glad news that he had an arrival in
his home in the person of a baby girl
These two young men were doing
the Alphonso and CASTOR stunt to de-
termine who should buy the cigars
when Leslie Maxwell rushed around the
corner and insisted upon buying on
the spot.
Finally when they had settled the
argument as to whom should have
the pleasure of setting them up" they
all asked in the same breath, Girls
or boys?" and answered in the next

WOMEN TO HELP K. OF C.
Ladies Auxiliary Formed in Hammond
to Help Local Council.

The Knights of Columbus ladies
auxiliary was organized yesterday af-
ternoon under the auspices of the
trustees Of the Unity council. It is
Hammonds youngest organization, but
none ever had brighter outlook than
has this one. It has twenty-three
charter members, including some of
the foremost women of Hammond, and
officers were elected in due form at
yesterdays session. They will take
care of the first years business.
A ladies auxiliary has always been
one of the pet wishes of the members
of Unity council and during the past
year no effort was spared to bring
about it's organization. Although only
twenty tsrong it promises to
grow rapidly as every X. c. has some
near relative who he wants to see a
member of the organization.
The auxiliary meeting yesterday af-
ternoon was held in the K. c. lodge
room in Weis hall. The object of the
ladies auxiliary is just what it's name
implies, a help to Unity council.
The officers elected are as follows
President, Mrs. J. McGarry; vice
president, Mrs. H. W. LOBBY; secretary
Mrs. John Heiser; treasurer, Mrs. Den
mis- Dineen; guard, Mrs. L. Long.
The next meeting will be held March

ELKS HEAD FOR ELKS CLUB.

Lew Palmer who returned to Ham
mond recently from an extended the
atrical tour, brought with hi ma SPLEEN
did elk head which he donated to the
local lodge Of Elks, OF which he is a
member. 1t is the same head that
decorated the Elk's building in Denver
last summer when the Elks of the
United States gathered there for their
annual meeting and at the time was
much commented on for its beauty
and perfectness. The massive antlers
have fourteen prongs which are wired
for electric lights, which make the
head all the more resplendent when
the lights are burning on the ends
The head has already been set up in
the ldoge rooms and if possible electric
connections will be made by this even
ing for this evenins session OF the
lodge.

BIG DEAL IN DIRT.
Five Hundred Dollars Per Acre Paid
Outside of the Boom Belt.

real estate transfer involving $780,
600 was completed yesterday, the land
in the deal being lots 10 and II in sec
ton 16 township 36 southeast of Toles-
ton. S. NJ St. Clair and Selma Kohn
Of Chicago, are the seller and buyer
respectively.
At a first glance this looks like an
enormous price even for the booming
district of Gary and Toleston, but it is
brought within the average when 1t is
understood that one of the lots in
question comprises 20 acres thus max
ing the average price $500 and acre
This, however, is a higher price than
the average that is being paid for
acreage in this section.
A transfer in the extreme southwest
part of the county was made by A B
Scrogins, to E. NJ. Brown of 255 acres
lying in sections S6 and % in township
80. The consideration was sl1,745.
