INTEREST IN
CONTEST KEEN
Votes Are Coming in Fast
and Jamestown is Now
Chief Topic.
RACE IS STILL YOUNG
Some Candidates Have Changed
Places With Others in Fight
For Head of List

Every time the lists are published
the Lake County Times Jamestown Ex
position contest becomes more interest
ing and it is safe to say that major
ity Of the people in the county are in
terested in one candidate or another
Votes are being brought to the office
of the LAKE COUNTY TINES every day
and it is remarkable the wide spread
interest that is being shown by the
citizens of this city
Every time some one votes for a can
didate he or she at once becomes a
PARTISAN of that particular candidate
and eagerly watches the progress that
she is making.
To prove that the race is still young
and that there is as good a chance for
the young lady who starts now as
there is for those who have been in the
race for sometime it will be noted that
Miss Anna f. Grey the last young wo-
man to enter the race is now at the
top of the list. In just the same man
ner it is possible that any one of the
young ladies may take the lead pro-
viding their friends will work for them
and the girls will do a little hustling
at the same time
Miss Anna Blaumire of Lake Station
is still making a spectacular race and
now has over $4,000 votes to her credit
It seems almost certain that she will
make the trip and yet one of the in
teresting things about a contest of this
kind is its uncertainties.
But there are so many trips at the
disposal of various candidates how
ever, that it is hard to see how 6
young lady who really makes up hel
mind to make the journey and has grit
and determination to stick 20 her pur-
pose can fail to accomplish what she
sets out to do.
The Jamestown stamps We're received
at the local postoff1ce yesterday and are
beauties. They will be on sale during
the summer and will be a welcom,
change from the little pink piece o.
paper that are usually placed in the up
per left hand corner of an envelope.
Several Hammond people are plann
ing to take the trip to jamestown this
summer at their own expense and Their,
is no doubt that the reports that the!
will bring back of the beauties o
Hampton Roads and vicinity will great
ly increase the number of persons whl
will eventually take the trip.

MEET AFTER FIFTY
YEARS SEPARATION
Peter Hoist, an Ex-Miner,
Finds His Brother in
Hammond.

Peter Hoist, wealthy examiner now
connected with the United States mint
in San Francisco. arrived in Hammond
Sunday morning and started in search
of his brother. C. II. Hoist, whom he
had not seen for over fifty years.
After searching over the city during
the forenoon, he finally located his
brother. c. II. Hoist. who resides at II
Sibley street, and the meeting was one
that will not soon be forgotten.
Peter Hoist left Hamburg, Germany.
when he was fourteen years old and
came to the United States. He at once
proceeded to the west, there he cast
his lot with the miners and made a
stake and soon was rich man. For
over thirty years he never heard from
his brother or any of his relation and
they likewise We're at a loss to under
stand what had become of him.
c. II. Hoist who now lives in Ham
mond left Germany over twenty years
ago and never heard from his brother
until he came to the United States
when through a friend he got into
communication with him and for time
| the two corresponded but this gradu-
ally dropped and again the two broth
ers were lost from each other.
! Mr.. Hoist was granted leave OF
absence from his duties at the mint
and decided that ne would like to see
his brother. so securing ticket, he
started for Hammond where he located
him.
Peter Hoist is now sixty-ffve years
old and his brother, c. II. Hoist is
seventy-two.
The two brothers went to Chicago
this morning to see the great metrop-
oils and will not be back until lat,
this evening.
Mr.. Hoist will remain in Hammond
until June 20, when he will leave fol
his hame at Frisco.

Especial to Lake County Times.)
Indianapolis, Ind, May 2S.-The Rev
ID. r.. Lucas, secretary of the Morton
Monument commission said today that
the commission would ask President
Roosevelt to come to this city again
on July %, and deliver the address
dedicating the monument that is be-
ing completed to the memory Of Oliver
F. Morton. The request has not been
made as yet, SO Rev, Lucas does not
know what the president will do.
The arrangements are now being
made for that dedication, which will
take place on the east plaza Of the
state house. facing Market street. A
platform will be erected there, and
this event will be made another big
day for indianapolis.
So far as invitations go, Indianapolis
has done its full share recently. Presi-
dent Roosevelt will be here Thursday
President Cleveland has been invited
to attend the annual banquet of the
members of the Sigma Chi fraternity
at the Grand hotel next Friday. AND
now comes the second invitation t.
President Roosevelt.
1t is not expected that the presi
dent will be able to attend this un
yelling. The fact that ne will hav,
been here less than two months befor,
will probably serve as enough of al
excuse, too. DR.. Lucas thinks, how
ever, that there is some opportunit.
for getting him.

with its improved facilities for doing

OF a sufficient water supply at Summit
While this problem is being figured out

The abandonment OF the work at
