Postponed Matter of
New depot.
OPENS UP AN OFFICE
Information Given Out That Pacific
Express Representative Will
Act as Agent.

Information was given out today
that Charles Heimbach, who is now
the representatives of the Pacific Ex-
press company, with offices in Kolb's
drug store, is to be the agent for the
Chicago, Cincinnati and Louisville
railroad, is to sell the tickets for the
company at his down town office and is
also to act as the Hammond baggage
master for the company.
This would indicate that for time
at least the depot which the railroad
promised the city of Hammond in re-
turn for the franchise right TO cross
certain streets is not to be built
The road has been in operation for
some time and the people of Hammond
and the south side especially, have been
looking forward to some signs of act
ivity that would indicate that the rail-
road was to begin the erection of its
depot.
There were a great many people who
suffered strenuous objections to the
railroads passing through this, the
residence district of the city, and
were only persuaded to withdraw
their objections when they were
promised that a new and attractive
depot was to be built at the point
where the railroad crosses Holman
street.
Wait in Vain.
When the road was finally built
through the city, the people waited
patiently for the first signs of the
building of the depot. There were
none and it now appears that the
building of this station has been post
| poned indefinitely.
Complaints are numerous and the
residents of the district are outraged

up with the same disgraceful con
ditions that have prevailed in Ham

| OF course there is not much traffic
originates in this city so far, and this
may be given as a reason for the delay
| in building the depot here. However
the Homewood people point to the fact
that when the agreement was made

DO in Hammond was not made a con
| sideration.
They also point to the fact that tn,

road has built depots in such place.

Alexander Comstoek Promotes One for

The hustling city of Waterbury is rapidly forging to the front in metro politan aspect, as far as amusement is concerned. Waterbury Is the only city in the state of any consequence that does not have pleasure park where people can go to on a warm day to hear good music, enjoy such adjuncts IS merry go-rounds, shoot the chutes, and hundreds of other forms of amuse- ments that usually accompanies place of this character.
 An enegetic theatrical manager, Alexander Comstock, who has control- led many theaters in New York, Chica- go, St Louis, besides having been the first manager of such important stars as Richard Mansfield. Lew Dockstader Mrs. Leslie Carter together with other we'll known people of stellar promin- ence, has about completed arrange ments to use the top of two of the tall- est buildings in the Brass City for a roof garden. The performance to be given in this open air theater that will have no covering but the starry skies, will be of the very highest order. The programme will consist of part songs, glees, quartettes, with at least three important operatic soloists, that have been heard during the past year in grand opera in New York, and the orchestra will be made up entirely of guitars vlolins, oellos and harps.
 This aerial roof garden will be decor ated entirely in japanese style, vari- colored electric lights, trailing vines of apple blossom, favorite flower in the land of the Mikado, and all the attend ants will be Japanese, and no intoxi- cants will be sold.
 Comstock, by the way, is the man who was few years ago enterprising enough to pay William Jennings Bryan $1,0O0 a night for series of fifty lec- lures.

First they obtained the use OF a
piece of vacant land on Jackson road,
which was then an open grass plot.
Then an appeal was made by the COM

at Washington for free seeds, which
were promptly sent. The committee
sent circular letter to about fifteen OF
the enterprising business men Of New

garden school and asking them IL they
were sufficiently interested in the ex-

The response was quick, and at the
end of a week we had the required

What One Man Is Doing TO improve

One of the most progressive town
officials in the south Is Samuel Lam

Mr.. Lancaster thinks there is no place
like Jackson, and he wants others to
think so, too, and he is doing every
thing I'm his power to make it one of
the prettiest towns in the country 1t
is due in d great measure to his eff
forts that good roads are being built in
Madison county. But road building is
not all that has engroSSed the big brain
of Sam Lancaster, says Il writer III
Breeders Gazette. AS manager of
the waterwOrks he saw a chance to do
things. Jackson had no park, and near
the waterw0rkS there was needed a
raised roadway. Sam Lancaster made
the fill, and before any one knew what
he was up to he had built a fine lake
on the site whence came the earth for
the fill. Smaller lakes near by came,
then drives, bridges, boats, lilies (mar-
velous lilies), banks of flowers, trees.

came out Of that old sink hole. And

saw that Sam Lancaster had actually
parked and fenced a part Of his
right of way Now travellers on that
railway will pass by and say, Jack
