at the Chautauqua, and the old soldiers were all
admitted free. The plan proved very successful
Mr.. c. E. Hudson of Greenvile college arrived
this week to act as assistant superintendent for
Glenn Merry. With his help Superintendent
Merry hopes to be able to do even better work
than he is doing now. There is an urgent demand
Olney was well pleased with this years talent
NEWTON, ILL, June 1.-The Chautauqua at this
place, which closed Sunday night, was well at
tended. Mr. Regan's political exposures took so
well that even some of the draymen in town, who
had been hauling liquor which has been shipped
in, now refuse to handle it any longer as result
of Mr.. Regan's address. Superintendent Good
win, who is himself an able chalk taker, gave one
afternoon entertainment, the meeting being espe-
cally for young people The high school students
attended in body, and the tent was crowded

local people say that much good has been accom-

ROBINSON, ILL.,, June Last year the Chau-
tauqua struck Robinson just about the time that
Robinson struck oil AT that time the town was
booming and there was plenty of money in cir

one of the best in the state, nearly 500 season
tickets being disposed of. But this year the panic
and several other causes conspired to keep the
Chautauqua from reaching the mark set last
year Nevertheless, the assembly was a good
one, well attended, and the people say they
well pleased, and much good has been done the
cause throughout this county.
MARSHALL, ILL, June Everybody here is tell

was one of the hot beds in the local option
fight, and as result the financial strain upon the
temperance people very great. This kept the
Chautauqua from being greater success than it
was, although this years assembly was also
good one. The people say Mr.. Regain made many
votes while here.
CASEY, ILL.,, June This is one of the oil
towns which was visited by the Chautauqua last
year when it was at the height of its success.
Although the financial situation was not so bright

.B|CKNELL WINS GUESS
Hammond Man Proves to
Be Great Political
Prognosticator.

Henry Bicknell of Hammond was the
political prognosticator who proved his
ability to tell the majorities which the
heads of the national, state and county
tickets would receive
Along about two weeks before cleo
tion County Chairman f. Richard Schaaf
announced that he would give box
of cigars to the man who would come
the nearest guessing the majorities
which the heads of the various tickets
would receive.
Mr.. Bicknelrs guess was that Taft
would receive $500 majority in Lake
county Crumpacker would receive g.
900 and James E. Watson would re
ceive $500
Mr.. Taft's majority was 4.076. Mr..
Crumpacker's was 3,036, and Mr.. Wat
sons was 2,517. In other words, while
Mr. Bicknell was $40 off on the presi-
dent, he was only 36 votes off on Mr.
Crumpacker and only II off on Mr.
Watson.
Mr.. BicknelIs guess was really a re
markable one, and hereafter he will be
looked upon as the weather vane OF
the republican party in Lake county.

DIRECTORIES ARE READY
New Changes Made in Chi

panv's Book.

The new telephone directories for this
region are off the press in THE TINES

distribution next week.
The directory is the best and most
complete ever put out in Hammond and
is certainly a credit to the printer and
the telephone company both. Every
number up-to-date is included in the
book. and a few changes of important
numbers have been made. Among these
is the number for the police department
which heretofore has been Sc and the

THEATRE IS CLOSED
Hammond Theatrical Hus-
tier Will Wait For
Better Times.

Brooks theater is thing of the
pest. Harvey Brooks decided to close
up the place today and will go out
the business. 1t is not known just what
he will do. as he was out of the city
this afternoon and could not be inter
viewed, but those who know Mr.. Brooks
say that he will take care of him
self.
When Mr.. Mr.. Brooks first managed
the opera house he made great sue
cess of it. He then sold out and en-
tered other lines of the theatrical bust
ness. Later on he came back to Ham
mond and repurchased the lease to the
theater.
He came at an inopportune time
however, as the industrial depression
reduced his crowds so that he could
not make it pay. He struggled along
against adversity until yesterday he
was compelled to give up the place
A few nights ago he advertised a
show but there were not more than
three of those he hired who came out
from Chicago to keep the engagement
and the few of his patrons who came to
the show that evening were turned
away.
Mr.. Brooks has been known as one
of the most aggressive business men in
the city. He is hustler from the word
go" and that he did not make good
this time was not his own fault
Mr.. Brooks has a great many friends
in the city who wish him we'll. in what
ever he undertakes and they are sure
that if he gets an even break in his
new undertaking he will be able to
make a success of 1t.
The owners of the Brooks theate1
have not yet decided what they will dc
with it. They have several PROPOSE
tions which they are considering and
they will make an announcement OF
their plans later on.

LOSES HIS LIFE
FOR DOLLAR BET
Charles Wisinski Laid Away
to Rest After Drinking
10 Whiskies.

Charles wisinski of 324 One Hundred
and Fifty fourth place. West Ham
mond> was buried today. A mourning
wife, a child and a few friends follow
ed in the procession of the unfortunate
mans funeral.
Wisinski, who is only "a years old,
last Wednesday night entered the sa-
loon of Frank Zamaituk on One Hun
dred and Fifty-first street, and finding
an acquaintance there, John Machin-
kowski, offered to drink fifteen glasses
of whiskey in succession, If Machin-
kowski would pay him 81. Machin-
kowski took the bet. and Wisinski
deliberately began pouring the whiskey
ir a big glass measuring it off with a
regular whiskey glass.
The large glass held only eleven
small glasses and Wisinski set out
about to empty it. He accomplished
this while the saloonkeeper and several
looked on When he emptied the glass
he asked for the four remaining glasses
but they were refused to him. Soon
he fell into a stupor and Machinkows-
XII the man who offered him the dollar
dragged him into another room where
he left him In the morning the man
was found to be dead.
An inquest was held last Thursday
afternoon but it was continued until
November -.
Considerable feeling has been stirred
up against the saloonkeeper who per
mitted this to happen in his place and
there is an agitation on foot now to
have his license revoked.
Wisinski is said to have had only
S15 when he died and that he left his
family without insurance. He was en-
ployed at the Stein Hirsch works and
had cashed his check of s15 that day.

HAS CITY FAILED
IN ITS BARGAINS
Hitch In Appropriations Will Delay
the Opening of the Bridge and
Presidents That Locality Regret
0ccurrence-City of Hammond
Stands to Lose $1,000 By Oversight
of City Officials.

By the LIST of December the CoIumbia
avenue bridge over the Calumet river,
which was constructed by the county at
a cost of $4,000, will be completed and
yet it will not be opened to fraffic for
an indefinite period account of the
failure of the Hammond city officials
to keep their part of the bargin.
At the time the appropriation for
the bridge was made it was understood
that the city of Hammond should pay
$500 toward its construction The orig
inal cost of the bridge. however, was
increased to such an extent that the
county council was compelled to make
additional appropriations.
Agreement Is Taken Up.
1t was then agreed between the men,
bers Of the county council and s-the
city officials of Hasn1nond that the
city would take upon itself the cost
of constructing the approaches to the
new bridge.
The work of building the bridge has
gone ahead satisfactorily, and the resi-
dents, both north and south of the riv-
er. who feel the necessity of having the
bridge opened, have been anxiously
watching its progress. They wondered
why the city was not doing its share
and now that the bridge is about COM
pleted it appears that it will be an
other year before it can be used for the
reason that the approaches are not in.
Business men point to the fact that
the county has made an appropriation
of $4,000, which will be positively use
less for a year for the simple reason
that Columbia avenue has not been
opened through to the bridge and the
approaches are not in.
Amounts to $1,000.
AT per cent the interest on s25,-
600 for one year would be $500. This
makes it very apparent that the coun-
ty and the city of Hammond are to
lose 81 500 through the failure of the
city to avail itself of the new bridge.
This does not take into considera-
ton the loss to the property owners in
the vicinity who had expected that the
bridge would be open this winter and
they would be able to offer their prop
erty at greatly increased figure in the
spring.
1t is Fine Structure.
The engineers in charge of the con-
struction of the Calumet avenue bridge
say that it is. with the exception Of the
| Nickel Plate and Erie railroad bridge.
/ the best bridge on the Calumet river in
this region. The abutments are Ill Of
| reinforced concrete and they are set
| deep enough to permit the dredging
| of the river to depth of twenty
feet.
But so far as getting any benefit
from the expenditure is concerned the
people of Hammond viii have to wait
until the city officials get ready to
put in the approaches ando pen up the
/ street.
That may be next spring or it may be
a year from that time judging by the
delays that have been so noticeable
in other undertakings which have been
under city control.

INDIANA REPUBLICAN
LEADERS PRAISE HIM
It Is Generally Conceded That
Through Mr.. Schaaf's Efforts In
diana's State Republican Ticket
Was Saved and Electoral Vote for
Taft Cirched.

Richard Schaaf, jr., of Hammond, Is
retarv of state two years hence. This
is the decision of the leaders of the
party who recently met at Indianapolis
after the election and decided ON the
reorganization OF the party to meet
the changed political conditions which
resulted from the defeat of james E.
Watson last Tuesday.
The nomination of Mr.. Schaaf for
this important office is to be the re-
ward he VIII receive for saving In
diana's electoral vote for President
Elect Taft and for saving the political
heads to most of the state ticket.
II is now conceded at the state capt.
eoI that had 1t not been for the splendid
work of County Chairman Richard
sschaaf in Lake county there would have
been very little that could have been
saved out of the wreckage which
srotIld havse sszssvue rs state in the trail
OF the democratic victory.
Republican Leaders Agree.
The information was brought to
Hammond by DR.. E. T. Bell, who re-
turned day or two ago from Indian
apolis. The republican leaders in In
dianapolis are clever enough to see
that in two years the population of
Lake county will have increased to
spch an extent that outside of Marion
county there will not be a county in
the state which will be more important.
They recognize the fact that Richard
Schaaf is not only popular among the
leaders in state politics. but he is also
popular among the people of Lake
county.
They know that the nomination of
a Lake county man on the state ticket
and especially a man like Richard
Schaaf, would meet with the approval
of the voters of the county and would
insure their hearty support of the en-
tire state ticket
In this manner the republicans will
retain control of Lake county and 1t
can be made a permanently republican
county.
Nigh Get Chairmanship.
Should Richard Schaaf be nominated
for the office of secretary of state, it
is possible that he would be given the
responsibilities of state chairman as
well.
Mr. Schaaf has been frequently men
toned as the man for the position by
leaders al over the state and as Fred
Sims, who was just elected as secre-
tary of state was also given the re-
sponsibilities of state chairman, 1t is
possible that the same thing will be
done to Mr.. Schaaf.
The Hammond republicans are de-
lighted at the prospect. 1t will mean
the establishment of center of politi-
cal activity in Hammond and Lake
county. It will mean that a great many
of the political plums will come this
way and the whole party will benefit
As to Richard Schaaf himself. when
he was acquainted with the fact that he
was slated for one of the greatest Of
fees in the state, he was visibly pleased
There was no false modesty about
his reception of the good news. But
Schaaf did not take the credit all him
self. That is what the Lake county
boys have done for me-" was his opin-
ion of the matter and the Lake county
boys are pleased over the prospects OF
his being the ne7t secretary of state as
he was

CRUMPACKER MAY
NOW GO UP HIGHER
Election Causes Indiana to
Lose Several Chairman
ships in House.

Washington Nov 6.-After March 4
Indiana will cease to exert a potent in
fiuence in the national house of repre-
sentatives. In the reorganization of the
body Representative Crumpacker of
the tenth district will be the only mem
Der from the state who will be entitled
to a committee craftsmanship. He is
now at the head of the committee on
census, and 1t is assumed that he will
be continued in that position. which
takes on added Importance as the date
for taking the census approaches.
BY the shakeup the state loses the
craftsmanship of the committee on post
Offices and post roads held by Mr.. Over
street, and the craftsmanship of the
committee on printing, held by Mr.. Ian
dis.
If Cannon is reelected speaker. it is
altogether likely that he will add Mr..
Crumpacker to the committee on ways
and means and thus give the state a
part in the work of revising the tariff
next spring.
Responsibility on Beveridge.
After March 4 Senator Beveridge will
have the distribution of all the fed
eral patronage in Indiana with the ex-
CepIlon OF the preSldentlal po6tmaSterS
in the sixth and tenth districts. Among
the places which the new president is
to fll on the recommendation of the
one republican senator from the state
are United States district attorney
United States marshal. collectors Of in
ternal revenue for the two districts,
collector of customs and United States
pension agent.
The office of United States attorney
will be vacant soon after the new presi-
dent comes into office If not before
that time and the terms of the other
federal officers in the state expire al
