BUILDING IS
NEAR RENTED NOW
Hammond Doctors Will Swoop Down
on Office Building and Make a
Second Columbus Memorial Build
ing Out of 1t for Expensive Of
fee Suites When Completed.

Anthony Taper has definitely de-
cided to build a fine three-story office
building on his lot mt the corner of
Holman and sibley streets, and work
will be begun on the building June
L, 1900.
The building will cost in the neigh
borhood of $4,000 and will, excepting
the Hammond building, be the finest

next spring.
He has practically rented the whole
building or has assurances of renting
IT all Tt is understood that practi-
cally all of the doctors in the city have
decided to secure quarters in the build
ing and it will be similar to the Colum-
bus Memorial building in Chicago in
this respect.
DR. Shanklin, DR.. G. l. Smith and DIR.
Oberlin have secured the right to a
first choice of the floor spaee in the
building and will divide this space into
office rooms to suit themselves. They
viii have as modern and up -to-date
office rooms as can be found in the city.
Bank Rents Mnin Floor.
The Citizens German National bank
will occupy the main floor of the build
ing and will have one of the finest
banking establishments in the city.
The third floor will either be used for
a hall or will be cut up into offices as
the demand for them is created.
But Mr.. Taper is going farther than
that He intends to tear out the fronts
of the buildings he now owns between
the corner and the building occupied
by the South Shore Gas & Electric
company's offices and will make the
fronts of all of the buildings CORE
spond to that building.
That will give the whole south hall
of the block between State and Sibley
streets on the east side of Holman
street the appearance of being one
large block.
Mr. Taper realizes that the shacks

SEWAGE PROBLEM
IS BEING DISCUSSED
Many Prominent Men Take
Up Big Question at
Mayors Dinner.
0UT-OF-TOWN GUESTS THERE
Luncheon Was Held at Hotel Carle-
ton This Afternoon and Was
Well Attended.
0UT-OF-T0WN GUESTS THERE

The sewage problem of the Calumet
region extending from Michigan City
TO the Illinois state line is at last up
to a body of determined men who
arc willing to solve 1t.
The initial step toward the solution
was taken today Mt n mayors meet
ing, which had been called together by
Mayor Becker at the Hotel Carleton.
1t was attended by city officials
from the various cities and private citi-
zens who are interested in the solu-
ton of the problem. Prominent among
those who were not city officials were:
C. W. Hotchkiss. president of the In
diana Harbor railroad. Mr.. Hotchkiss
is the champion of the drainage dis
trict, and at the meeting this after
noon offered his view of the solution
of the problem
Wants Legislature to Act.
Mr.. Hotchkiss would take the mai
ter into the legislature of Indiana and
go about it in the same manner that
Chicago used when it created its drain
age district. The men who gathered
at the dinner table for this was the
means that Mayor Becker used in get
ting them together, were already par
TALLY acquainted with the movement
that Mr.. Hotchkiss promises will re-
lieve this district, and which is prac-
tically the same as the one advocated
by THE TINES.
The question was discussed from
many sides Maps and plans We're sup
piled, showing that some earnest think
ing had already been done on the sub
ject. The movement has caused Mich
igan City to sit up and take notice.
With a hope held out to it that it may
be included in the district it hurried
to the conference to learn what could
be done in the way of giving it relief
from its greatest drawback. In the
way of disposing OF sewage it is
worse condition than Hammond
Hammond at least has a river sluggish
as it is into which to empty it's sew
age. Michigan City has no relief Its
sewer outlets and drinking water in
takes in Lake Michigan are neighbors
These matters and many more import
ant phases were brought up and thor
oughly discussed.
The Guests at the Luncheon.
The out Of town guests were: c.
W. Hotchkiss of Chicago, president OF
the Indiana Harbor railroad; William
McMaster of Chicago. connected with

Two of the men who were injured In
the cutting scrape Mt the Standard steel
Car settlement are in a dangerous con-
dition and 1t is possible that one or
both of them may die.

started out a rampage, has been

have an operation performed on the In
jured mans skull.
Taken to HospitaI.N
Jomokowski will be taken to St
Margarets hospital and the extent OF
his injuries will be determined. The
prisoner seems to be alert this morn
ing but it was thought best to have
the operation performed Immediately
and not run the risk of his becoming
insane as the result of pressure of bone
on the brain.
1t appears that as soon as Jomo-
kowski had succeeded in slashing every
one in sight he tried to escape. A
whole crowd of men took after him and
one of them shot at him with a revolv-
er. At the firing of the shot he fell to
the ground and in a few minutes there
were ten men on top of him, hammer
ing away at his head with beer bottles
In this manner he was knocked
senseless and was carried to the saloon
which he had covered with other mems
blood to await the coming Of the police
DIR. B. w. Chidlaw took care of An
ton Lasker who had a five inch cash
in the left side of his neck. The jugu-
lar vein was exposed by the terrible
cash in Lasker's neck and if the cut
had been hairs breadth longer or
the pressure of the knife had been a
fraction of an ounce heavier, Lasker' s
iugular vein would have been severed
and the police would have had a murd-
er case TO deal With instead Of one of
assault with intent to kill
Injuries Not so Serious
The injuries of the other men are
not so serious and they will recover
without any difficulty. Lasker was ad
vised by DR.. Chidlaw to go to the hos
pital and have the wound in his neck
properly cared for but he said that he
wanted to go home and so the doctor
let him have his own way.
The whole fight started when Joe
Jomokowski became drunk in the sa
loon of Blazack Notik and fell from his
chair while in a stupor. He struck his
nose on the floor and thought some one
hit him and knocked him down. That
was his sole reason for attempting the
lives of half dozen people.
