Everybody Has to Work In
Guiding F'ather-Police
After Vags.

The latest West Hammond reform
that is being enforced by the village
police. is TO arrest every one who is
not working unless he can give
suitable account of himself. This cru
sade against the loafers and would-be
toughs was started last night when
Andrew McMonagle who halls from
the stockyards district was arrested
and booked on a charge of vagrancy.
Andrew has been holding forth in
the peaceful little village for the last
two weeks. and has not been working.
The police asked him TO go to work.
Andrew replied that he was not ac-
cCstomed TO work and the result was
the OFFERS Okroy and Johnson arrested
the man and hauled him TO the station.

LUMBER COMPANY
FOR HAMMOND
Beckman and w. H. Gostlin
Back of Project-To
Capitalize at $4,000.

Owing to the extensive building op-
erations going on in this city, it has
been found advisable by a few Ham
mond business men to organize a new
lumber company which will be known
as the Home Lumber company, cap
italized at $4,000. j. n. Beckman and
son, II. c. Beckman, together with
Postmaster Gostlin. are back of the
project and will meet in the near fu-
ture to elect the officials of the new
concern.
The location of the yards and of
fees has been decided upon but as the
deal has not yet been sonsummated,
they refuse to state where it will be
All Of the $4,000 stock has been sub
scribed and there seems to be nothing
in the way of pushing the plans to
completion. 1t is understood that the
erection of the office and other build
ings will be begun just as soon as the
deal for the land is closed.
Those who are behind the project are
planning to take advantage of the
great building boom which is now in
Hammond and will probably continue
for many months to come The amount
of building material used in this city
during the last six months has been
nothing short of marvellous and it is
thought the demand is steadily in
creasing. Therefore the time was con
sidered ripe to launch another lumber
enterprise. making three in all now in

RIVAL SHOW MEN
DRAW BIG CROWDS
Vaudeville And Five Cent
Theatre Compete; Fight
For Business.

The rivalry between Brooks vaude-
Vile show and the five cent theatre is
growing fierce and it is amusing to
stand on the street corner in the even
ing when things begin to warm up and
watch the fun.
Last evening the Scotch bagpiper
would come out of the five cent the
atre show and blow his pipe while
all eyes We're on him. The small boys
gathered around and he was the cen
ter of attraction.
Brooks got wind of the story that
the bagpiper was going to do stunts
in the evening and fearing that the
crowds would be unduely attracted in
the direction of the rival amusement
place he hurriedly improvised a band
and soon there were things doing on
his side of the street.
The crowd, lead by the small boys,
gathered around the band and the
"Hoot Mon" was left to blow his pipe
in peace. The Scotchman went back
to the show on the inside of the the
atre only to reappear in a few min
utes later and begin his strange music
again.
Brooks yelled his head off with the
aid of the megaphone and the barker
in the five cent theatre did the same
In fact it was hard for the crowds to
decide which show was the best that
they saw.
Both Brooks and the five cent theatre
have good shows and both are showing
to capacity crowds every evening 50
the competition is evidently good for
of an entirely different nature than
the show in the five cent theatre and it
would naturally be thought that they
would not be competitors but they are
both after the crowds and there is
where the conflict comes.
In the meanwhile if the public is
looking for entertainment it had bet
ter patronize both of them.

1t was the same old story. Two little

into the house to get them while the

AS the child came running out OF

match toward the boy in a spirit OF
mischievousness while he was bending
over the oil can. IT fell directly into

HIT BY CRANE; DIES INSTANTLY
William Totten, Electrician, Meets Death in Steel Mills
at South Chicago.

South Chicago. Aug. 1.-The Illinois
Steel Works. was the scene OF a fatal
accident this morning when William
Totten. met his death in agonizing
form.
Totten Is an electrician BY trade and
in the pursuit Of his occupation with
the steel company, had occasion TO
climb upon a runway upon which
heavy crane is propelled Under the
rules OF the Steel company nobody is
allowed TO mount the runway which
is some twenty five or thirty feet above
the ground. without permission from
the operator. Totten, thinking that
during the brief moment he was OBJ

be in no danger, siezed an opportunity
when the crane was turned the other
way, and mounted the runway The

WHOOP|NG COUGH
EPIDEMIC THREATE TENED
Lansing, Just Released from
Measles Clutches, Now
Has Another Scare
Especial to Lake County Times)

Lansing. ILL.,. Aug. 1.-The little
village of Lansing, south Of Hammond,
is in the throes of a whooping cough
epidemic and one death is reported this
morning.
Walter Feark, aged 6, died at 2:30
this morning from the disease after
suffering for the last week. The funeral
services will be held at the German
Lutheran church at Lansing Sunday
afternoon at o'clock. This is the first
fatality.
Only a few weeks ago the measles
invaded Lansing and seven deaths were
recorded as a result of the invasion.
Now the whooping cough is making
TIE rounds and several cases are re-
ported today. Some of the children
who are hardly over the measles have
been attacked by the whooping cough.
and it is predicted if good care is not
taken of the children more deaths can
be expected.
The case of the little Feark boy was
a most pathetic one. He had a
severe case of measles and had barely
recovered from this disease when he
was attacked by the whooping cough
which caused his death.

got out Of the place he was given a

for any satirica1 remarks about his cul-

was called hore meat soup. he took Of
fense. The offense was violent IN the
extreme and he landed a couple Of soc
dolagers on the "snoot" of the offender.

police station and swore out a warrant
for the cook and he now languishes

he was warranted in defense Of his
art, and whether unfavorable remarks
about cooking do not constitute cause

TWO WRECKS

Rolling Stock Damaged

South Chicago. Aug. 1.-Two wrecks
occurred on the B. & o. railroad in
South Chicago within a few hours of
each other, and while there was con-
siderable damage to rolling stocks no
harm came to human life.
The first wreck happened last night
at Ninetieth street, when an engine and
three cars ran into an open switch. The
second occurred this morning at Nine
ty-fifth street when cars that were be-
ing switched about, ran into four stand
ing sand cars. The latter were piled
up into one demolished heap, delaying
traffic for the entire day.
South of these tracks stood South
Chicagos meat supply for next Sunday
and it was only by good fortune that
they were switched there early this
morning or they would have been
wrecked instead of the sand cars. In
that event South Chicago would have
been without it's meat supply for next
Sunday as the meat market men re-
ceive their largest shipment on Thurs
day, put it in the cooler and sell it on
Saturday to be used on Sunday.

Or They Will Be When Extra Shift

Hard to Get.

The officials of the Standard Steel
Car company are gradually increas-
ing the output of the Hammond plant
until it is expected that within a short
time the plant viii be running to its
full capacity.
Today the order went out TO put
on a night shift and large number
of men viii have to be hired to do
this extra work. While the men now
employed number in the neighborhood
Of thousand. it is thought that this
Will be increased to 1900 Immediately
and in the future will be doubled.
The greatest difficulty now is getting
the number and kind of men the com
pany wants. In the first place there
are not many men available and in the
second place the men who are available
are not always the best workingmen.
Capacity To BE Fifty Cars Day.
Men are being hired generally and
the best of them are being retained.
The hiring and wedding out process
will continue until the force has
reached a high degree of efficiency.
The capacity of the plant is now
about twenty five cars a day and this
will be increased to fifty when the
night shift is put on and will be
doubled when the plant runs to its full
capacity.
The progress that has been made SO
far is very satisfactory and soon Ham
mond's biggest manufacturing concern
Will be supplying the railroad world
