VIII Be Crown Points Librarian at
Salary of $40 Month.

At meeting Of the Crown Point
library board, Wednesday evening
Miss Marie Hansen, of Hammond, who
has had two years of library experience
and was schooled with that object in
view, was given the position for a
year at a salary Of $40 per month. and
during the time the board hopes to
have some home lady substitute fitted
to take the position. They feel the job
belongs at home, but were advised by
the state library board TO get an ex-
perienced person to start with, and
their choice is thought 10 be good
one. II takes q long training for one
TO fill the position well, and especially
at the commencement when there is
| much 10 do.

THE LAKE COUNTY TIMES prints above
q list of the winners of the great con-
test which closed Monday morning at
ten o'clock The party of young la
dies who will make this trip have
proved themselves well worthy of the
honor of representing Hammond at
the Jamestown Exposition and the
party that this paper is sending out
is one of which it is very proud.
While the young women who win
are delighted over their prospects it
is to be regretted that some Of the
contestants are bitterly disappointed.
IN some cases they have cause for
disappointment for when they thought
they were secure in their positions
they awoke to find that some other
young woman had been working while
they slept and had beaten them by a
small margin.
This was especially true in two
cases The nearest competitor to Miss
Johnson who was last in the list Of
Hammond candidates was Miss Louise
Sfebert. While Miss Johnson was sec
ond in the list during part Of the con-
test and seemed as sure of going as
any of the contestants it was found
that a great many votes had been held
back by the others and Miss johnson
dropped to fifth place, only defeating
Miss Siebert by 175 votes.
Perhaps the best illustration of the
uncertainties OF a contest of this kind
is the case of Miss Matilda Miller OF
st. John who has lead the contest since
beginning She worked hard to win and
when she thought that victory was
within reach Miss Estella Keilmar
came in with a big deluge of votes
and won the contest in that district

Wife, Daughter and Sister of
DR.. Bremen Of Lowell
Kidnapped?
WERE SEEN BY A BOY
Strange Man in Big White Machine
Picked Up Party at Cedar Lake
Strange Mystery.

Cedar Lake and Lowell residents
have perplexing mystery on their
hands. and for a time yesterday il was
thought that a posse would have TO be
formed to search the surrounding
country for a trace OF the wife. child
and sister of DR. Bremen, a prominent
resident of Lowell. The two women
and the child disappeared Monday. and
ii was said that they were taken
aboard a big automobile by a stranger
and whisked off towards Crown Point.
W hen the party did not return TO their
home on Monday night and Tuesday
morning, DIR. Bremen was nearly be-
side himself with anxiety and went 10
the lake where he stopped every auto
mobile passing and inquired whether
OF not the occupants had seen the
party or not
Mrs. Bremen with her child and sis
ter left their home in Lowell. Monday
morning to go berrying along the road
to Cedar Lake. They We're last seen
about 2 o'clock when a small boy re-
ported that a stranger in huge white
automobile stopped the party and ask
e6 them to take a ride. The boy said
that they got into the automobile and
rode away towards Crown Point
Several hours later the boy said that
the strange and mysterious automibile
returned without the women and the
driver again stopped and this time
asked the boy if he did not want q
ride. The lad was frightened at the
nan and told him he did not want tc
ride. That apparently was the last
seen of the strange automobilist.
When the darkness came on and tn,
party did not return DIR. Bremen be
came alarmed and searched with hi
l.fEsanAs the zaiefafsss4sN sNzlsere tlse part,
were last seen but without avail. Th
matter then went over until yesterda,
but a thorough search and many In
quires failed to bring them any ligh
on the mystery.
Yesterday afternoon, Bailiff Franl
Shine and Chief of Police Higgins wer
coming from Cedar Lake in an auto
mobile after a business trip, when the.
were hailed by DR.. Bremen who aske
them if they had seen any machin
answering to the description. TIL
strange story was then told to the tw
men and a description of the aut
| furnished.
A TINES reporter was unable to fin
any one at home at the Bremen home
stead. A neighbor reported that Mrs
Bremen returned late last night an
that early this morning, with her hus
band, she again departed. 1t was sal
that she came from Chicago, but thi
could not be verified. 1t was no
known whether the child or the siste
returned.

Another case was that of Anna Don
er of South Deering who has looked
Hk%a winner from the start However,
she did not expect the opposition that
suddenly developed only a few weeks
ago when Miss Lillian Doe entered the
field from Hegewisch and captured the
prize when 1t seemed just within reach.
Without exaggeration it may be said
that there has been nothing in the way
of a voting contest that has attracted
the attention of the people of this dis
trict to such an extent as has this one.
The interest which was aroused may
be imagined when it is known that
there We're so Irresistible young ladies
within the confines Of one small county
and all determined rS take advantage
of the LAKE COUNTY TIMES offer.
They secured the county from one
end to the other and there was not a
friend of the young women from the
maiden ladies 70 tie susceptible old
bachelors who clfd not cheerful1y aid
them in their endeavor.
A million and quarter of votes was
the result and hundreds of subscrib-
ers were added to the lists of thou
sands who are already taking the
paper.
1t was a daring undertaking, this

There was also the chaperon and the

and the sunny locks disentangled Lily
presented a dainty appearance. Mrs.
Hastings took the child over to the po
lice station where she was cared for
more comfortably then she had been
presumably for weeks before. She ad-
mitted to having known the pangs of
hunger and suffered from the cold on
many a chill night when after all was
dark she had sought her cheerless
couch in the most convenient place she
could find.
The police were unable to locate the
child's mother. but succeeded in finding
the father, who, touched by the hard
ships she had been subjected to, vowed
he would take care of her to the best
of his ability.

OF a special parcel post system on

originating on rural route or at

thereof at a rate of 5 cent, for the

This will be a great boon to farm
ers, who have not the conveniences
for obtaining the necessaries of life
such as residents in cities enjoy.
A special parcel post on rural routes
will facilitate consumption and
thereby increase the business of the
county merchant. Increased trade
for the country merchant means in
creased orders for those from whom

The Minister'S Son was the offer
ing at the opera house last night, be-
ing presented to a small but apprec1a-
tive audience. The play was written
by w. b. Patton who starred several
years in the role of Simon Ray. In
the Minister'S Son" the author has
given us a story of surprising merit
with perfect wholesomness, with eX-
quisite delicacy, with entire ndeiltY'
with truest pathos and with freshest
humor. He has delneated character
| has analvzed motives and emotions
and has portrayed life without sin
! gle word or action that could ever
suggest offense All the ditteren
parts We're handled in capable man
ner.
