DR.. WILLETS HONORED
Accepts Position as Mem
ber of Faculty Of North
western Medical.

1t was learned today that Dr. A. J.
Willis, one of the most successful
of the Hammond physicians, has ac-
cepted position as a member of the
faculty of the Northwestern Medical
college and will in the near future give
up his residence in this city
Dr.. Willis came to Hammond some
thing over year ago from Lowell,
where he had a large country prac-
tfce. DR.. Willis had taken the place
OF several of the older doctors who
happened to die about the time he To-
Gated there and his work proved so
satisfactory that they were reluctant
to have him leave.
When DR.. Willis came to Hammond
he was welcomed by the medical fra
ternity and has since built up fine
practice. The many friends that the
doctor and his wife have made in this
city will regret exceedingly their Ieav-
ing the community
The doctor is to be congratulated
however, because of the honor which
has been bestowed on him and he will
doubtless find his new activities much
to his liking.
1t has not yet been learned in what
department the doctor will teach. but
it is understood that his post is to be
an important one

Sensational developments came out
today in the Parscouta case from whit
ing.
On Tuesday afternoon while the
court gave recess, a group OF the
women gathered around Colonel Le-
grand 7. Meyer.swho Was tlte attprney
for the trustees. and asked him to ar
range an interview for them with
Judge Reiter.
Why do you want an interview %
asked Colonel Meyer.
We want to tell the Judge" said
one of the women. that if he does
not oust Parscouta today that wen
ride him out on rail tonight"
Colonel Meyer. however, told them
of the futility OF influencing the judge
and asked them to await the outcome
of the trial, which they did
1t is safe to say that Judge Reiter
was not advised of the women's threat.
Unless the Rev. John Parscouta of
the Greek Catholic church of Whiting
moves lively his Pensioners will hale
him into court again for contempt of
court. There is already some talk of
proferring charges of perjury against
him.
Father Parscouta after Judge Reiter
issued temporary restraining orders
against him last Tuesday. pleaded with
his parishoners to remain at least an
other two weeks in the parish and
occupy the parsonage. His former
subjects, however. are relentless; they
want him to get out Immediately
How well Father Parscouta is liked
can be taken from his parishoners, ac-
tions. On Tuesday night the entire
congregation crowded into the little
church to hold thank offering. The
Rev. Valentine Balog oficiated.
Among those who attended the cele-
bration was Charles Greenwald af
Whiting. republican nominee for prose-
cutor. He happened to be on the street
when the services began when all at
once he was surrounded by a crowd
of the foreigners who insisted that he
attend the services. Charley saw no
other way out of it but to attend.

SIXTY RAILROAD MEN
LOSE THEIR HEADS
General Offices of Chicago,
Indiana and Southern
at Gibson Closed.
NEWS COMES AS A SURPRISE
Office Politics Thought To Be in a
Measure Responsible for
the Change.

The general offices of the Chicago
indiana and Southern railroad and the
hnuana HarbOr Belt railroad Mt Gibson
were shaken as by an earthquake yes
eerday and as result sixty employees
IN the counting department., Including
John Stewart, the auditor, have had
their official heads removed.
The auditing and counting depart
ments of the two railroads are to be
moved to Cleveland at once and it is
expected that the work of the local
office will be done by the employees of
the Lake Shore and Michigan South
ern railway company which is one of
the other important roads in the Van
derbilt system.
Ihe suddenness of the change was
one of the most remarkable things
about it. No one had even the slight
est lntimation that a change lad even
Deen suggested. The high officials
were as surprised as the lesser ones
with possibly the exception of e. RYAN.
the general superintendent of the roads.
The reason for the change has not
oeen announced but the impression pre-
Valls that 1t is a continuance Of the
pollcy or retrenchment. 1t is generally
believed that the officials of the com
pany became convinced that there was
no use of maintaining a separate set
OF accountants in Hammond when the
force In Cleveland could do the work
with the addition of few extra en-
ployes.
Then, too, it is understood that the
of1ee politics has had a great deal to
DO with the change. John Stewart. the
auditor, has been at outs with F. RYDER.
the general superintendent, for some
time There have been other officials
who have failed to hitch and it is be-
lieved that the contention which has
arisen from these causes is one of
the things that has determined the
officials of the company on their action
of yesterday.
Those employed in the traffic depart
ment will retain their positions and ii
is understood that they Will not be
compelled to follow in the footsteps Of
their less fortunate friends in the ac-
counting department.
The sixty employees who were LET
out are all we'll paid and it is under
stood that very few OF them will be
taken back in other capacities The
change is equal to the permanent shut
ting down of one of the Hammond in
dustries and is looked upon as one Of
the results of the recent panic

JOHNSTON'S HARD LUCK
West Hammond Officers
Oldest Child Dies and
Wife Follows.

The blows of fate are reigning hard
and fast upon Barney Johnston, the
West Hammond policeman.
Early this morning his wife died al
St Margaret's hospital. ten days after
the death of her 5-year-old son Bar
nard.
Mrs. Johnson, who is only SO wears
old, gave birth to a fourth son several
weeks ago. but ever since that happv
event in the Johnston family. the
mother never has been quite well. A
few days before her Oldest son was
taken severity i'll with spinal menin-
gifts and finally died. The mother was
in the hospital unable to see her diving
child or to attend his funeral at Mt.
OHvet
Consequently the remains were put
temporarily in a vault until the mother
should be we'll enough to attend the
funeral but the loss of her child was
too much for the sick mother to bear.
Early this morning she died.
The unhappy husband has the SYM
pathy of every one who knows him
The Johnston home, at 319 State street
was one of the happiest in West Ham
-mond, until death and sickness enter
ed two weeks ago
The deceased was at one time a mem
Der of All Saint Court, Woman's Cath
olic Order of Forresters, but recently
withdrew her membership. She joined
the Ladies Catholic Benevolent Aid So
ciety and was mepber of the All
Saints church.
Funeral arrangements have not been
definitely made, although it is ex
pected that interment will take place
next Saturday morning at Mt. Olivet.

A TREAT IN STORE
FOR THE PUBLIC

The Honolulu Drug Co.'S new store
is now fairly launched into the drug
and soda fountain trade. The Ala
media on her last trip brought them
their new Twentieth Century soda
fountain and it has been set up ready
for business. The fountain is the most
modern in Honolulu, and, aside from
being very handsome to look at, is
thoroughly sanitary and clearly.
Free soda, ice cream soda, ice cream
and sundaes will be dispensed all day
Wednesday to every one who makes a
purchase in the drug store from SC.
up. and the public is cordially invited
to take advantage of this offer, as the
new drug store wishes to commemorate
in a proper manner the opening of the
new fountain.
The Honolulu Drug Co. have fitted
up their store in a very handsome
manner and it is easily the most at
fredericksburg store of its kind in
the city. The location is very con-
venient, especially to ladies who are
shopping. The store is situated in the
Odd Fellows building, on Fort street,
just above King.
