Daughters Of Rebekah Join Odd
Fellows in Event Which Is
Society Affair. =

Lowell, Ind, April 25.-(SpeciaD-Th
Lowell lodge of Odd Fellows, No. 245,
celebrated the S9th anniversary of the
birth of Odd Fellowship in this country
in very fitting manner at their hall
last night, and, despite heavy rain
storm in the early part of the evening
there was an immense crowd of Odd
Fellows and their families and invited
guests present, and the occasion proved
one of the social events of the season
The Daughters of Rebekah joined with
the brothers in providing a fine supper
and contributed to a splendid program
that was given. The meeting was an
open one and was called to order at
Sis by Bro. Paul Ellis, master of cere-
monies. The program was opened by
a selection by the NJ. c. Wiley band,
which ranks next to Barney Young's in
Lake county. The opening address was
made by Bro. Henry Worley, trustee
of Cedar Creek township, which was
followed by Miss Beulah Death in a
humorous reading, and she in turn was
followed by Master George Brooks in
another humorous selection. After an
other selection by the band the ad-
dress of the evening was delivered by
Hon. S. c. Dwyer, and was masterful
exhortation on Odd Fellowship. It was
an oratorical effect that would rank
with the best, and it was received with
great applause. The band closed the
program. there was given the honor of
leading the guests to the banquet hall,
where a sumptuous feast was served.
The rest of the evening was given to
sociability and a more enjoyable event
than this occasion could not be con-
|ceived. Odd Fellowship has taken quite
a squirt in Lowell and in few years
judging from its present condition, will
lead all fraternal orders in Lowell

Determine Cause of
McNeil's Death.

Late yesterday afternoon the inquest
vas held over the remains Of c. B.

soon as she received notice of her hus-
bands death She was joined at his
boarding place by her two sisters, Mrs.
J. F. Williams and Mrs. McElfresh, both

GRAB Up FRANCHISE
WHILE VILLAGE SLEEPS
West Hammond Citizens Are Amazed to Read in The
Times That the Electric Railway Franchise
is Ready for Passage.

While the people of West Hammond
have been sIumbering their village Of

cessary steps toward awarding the ex-
elusive right to their streets for trac-
tfOn purposes, to the Chicago and In
teIurban Railway company, of which
practically nothing is known by the
residents of the village.
The meagre information THE TIMES
was able to secure last evening from
the office of a Chicago law firm was to
the effect that the franchise was to
have been granted last evening, but it
was learned today that the franchise
was passed to its second reading April
10, to its third last Saturday at a spe-
cial meeting, and will come up for final
passage next Monday.
A prominent West Hammond business

in the affairs of the village for the past
few years. was asked what he knew
about the franchise, yesterday.
He said he was surprised to find that
franchise was even under considera-
ticn until he so read in THE TIMES, and
determined to investigate the matter
This morning it was discovered at the
village hall in West Hammond that
the franchise has not only been passed
once, but has been passed twice, and
today the business men of the village
are narveHng that the matter could

Johnny Patton Elected This
Week But %, and Very
Prominent.
LEADS THE PEOPLES PARTY
Patton Will Get Many Improve
ments for the Enterprising
Villagers.

Johnnie Patton, the new peoples
party president of Burnham, is prob
ably the youngest man holding that
office In the state of Illinois. He is
but s. years old and his recent victory
over George Mills is all the more re-
markabIe because of his youth.
Burnham, like Milwaukee, has a
zens party. which repres ented the op-
position, did not get look in" at the
election. Patton was confident of vic
tory from the start and it is now
proven that he was right in his claim
that Mills did not have a show
Patton is we'll known in Hammond
as well as in his home town of Burn
ham and his many friends over this
district are delighted to know that
he has proven his ability to bring home
the bacon.
Patton is prominent in Masonic cir
cles. He is a member of the Memphis
Commandery and is also a Shriner.
The sporting fraternity of Hegewisch
and Burnham are pleased with his
election for it is known that Patton
is liberal in his ideas about those
things.
Mr.. Patton is well aware of the re-
sponsibility which is attached to the
administration of his new office and
he is determined to make a record for
himself and bring about improvements

SCRAP IN CALUMET TP.
Spirited Fight Between
Walter Gibson and Dan
Fitzpatrick.

All over Calumet township there
will be mass convention for the pur-
pose of selecting delegates to the con-
vention which will nominate demo-
cratic candidates for the Office of town
ship assessor and trustee.
Meetings will be held in Gary, Toles-
ton, Ross and Griffith. In Gary there
will be fight between Walter Gibson
and Dan Fitzgerald, who are both can
didates for assessor. for the three dele
gate votes which have been allotten to
the new steel city.
1t is understood that Gibson has
been at work in the south end trying
to interest the foaters and voters in
his campaign and it is possible that
he may get a Gary delegate vote.
However, 1t will be necessary for
Fitzgerald to not only retain all three
of the votes in Gary but to get one in
Griffith or Ross besides Gibson will
have to retain both of his Tolleston
votes and get two besides to win and
no attempts to phophsey the autcome
of the fight.
Frank Borman is the only candidate

Passes all roads which pass through

secured a franchise in West Hammond.

this morning that he had no idea how

was back Of the deal The president is
supposed to be c. w Miller but no one
knows who is C. ". Miller.
The city attorney. according to this
official, was asked by the town board

reported that the company is all right
Whatever that means The franchise
this company has practically secured
does not require it to begin to operate
the line for a period of two and one
half years and it is expected that in
tkis time the franchise will be an ex-
ceedingly. marketable document
The news that the franchise of the
Chicago and Interurban company had
practically passed, caused consterna-
ticn among the business men of West
Hammond who have half an idea that
they ought to be let in on a deal of
the kind and at least be advised as to
what is being done.
1t is understood that petition is
being circulated in West Hammond to-
day asking that the matter be delayed
until the people over there can see what
they are giving away. and one busi-
ness man informed the reporter for
THE TIMES that it is possible the board
will be enjoined from passing the fran
chise if it does not appear that they
can be induced to put 1t over until the
next regular meeting.
