george Herbert, Who Also Staged
Chimes of Normandy In Ham,
mOnd, In Lafayette.

THE Fair Cold" George AIDES
clever playlet, written expressly for
Purdue university. has claim on
Hammonds interest for more reasons
than the one that there are many Pur-

reasons is that the play will be pro-

Herberts, who is we'll known in this
city, having put on the boards here
the Mikado and the Chimes Of Nor
mandy and other productions.
The new play is said to be written
in George AIDES happiest vein and to
be teeming with local hits which are
comical not only by reas nof their
locality but because they are irresist-
IDLY funny per Sc The Fair COED is
the last of her kind at the university
and the idol of 1000 other students.
This offers unlimited scope for AIDES

WHITING SALOONKEEPERS
THROW DOWN THE GAGE
Employ Hammond Attorney to Plead
Before the County Commissioners.

The whiting saloonkeepers are not
going to let the temperance agitators
who last week gained a majority in the
third ward for dry district, carry off
the victory without a battle.
Using the same methods that the
"drys" used in gaining signatures rem
resentative of the saloonkeepers made
a house to house canvass in the third
ward last Saturday and yesterday, for
the purpose of gaining revocations of
powers of attorney granted to Messrs.
Miller and Stowell representatives Of
the temperance element They claim
to have secured enough signatures to
reduce the majority of signatures given
last week, to a minority
Otto Bader, a saloonkeeper of the
district. and Attorney John A. Gavit. of
Hammond went to Crown Point TODAY
where the board of county commission
ers was in session to plead the cause
of the saloonkeepers. Neither of the
representatives would state definitely
however, whether enough signatures
had been secured to restrain the tenn
perance people.
The saloon keepers IN going about
for signatures yesterday, say that in
numerous instances they came across
cases where people gave power of at
torney to the "drys" without realizing
just what they were doing. In some
instances it was found that the wives
signed the cards without the knowledge
of their husbands and the saloonkeep-
ers say that these same husbands re-
voked the power of attorney granted
by their wives.

REV. SWITZER SHOWS ERROR
IN CHRISTIAN SCIENCE.
MAKES DfspassiOnate Analysis of Teach
ings of New Religious Cult.

The sermon of Rev. VIM F. Switzer,
the pastor Of the local Methodist church
on the subject of Christian Science, was
one or the most interesting that has re-
Gently been preached from a local pull
pit
Ihere was a large crowd present and
many people not regular attendants Of
the church went on purpose to hear
what they expected to be an expose of
the new religion.
There was nothing sensational about
Rev. Switzer's remarks Rather his talk
was dispassionate analysis of the
teachings of the new cult. Mr.. Switzer
was exceedingly logical and his talk
was based on the following premises
He took issue with the Christian
Scientists on the principal propositions.
First, the denial of the personality of
man and God, and secondly, the reality
of things
By a most thoroughly thought out
line of argument, the logic of which
was exceptionally fine, Rev. Switzer
demonstrated that God is a person and
ne showed that to accept the Christian
scientists belief Is to deny the truth Of
the scriptures.
Regarding the Christian Scientists
clalm that, mind is all, matter is moth
ing" Rev. Switzer said that Jesus talk
ed the great language of reality and
as an example he pointed out how
Jesus demonstrated the reality of
things by causing doubling Thomas to
thrust his hand in the nail holes in his
hand and in the spear wound in his
side.
He said that all things did not have
the same kind of reality and that the
form of things change but we are made
conscious for the time being of the
reality of things.
Mr. Switzer defended his attack on
Christian Science on the ground that
1t was his duty to warn his parishioners
of the fallacy of these strange and.mis-
leading beliefs.

INQUEST FAILS TO CLEAR
UP CAUSE OF DEATH
COroner's Verdict in Case of John Davis
of HarbOr, Leaves Doubt.

Coroner Shanklin this morning held
an inquest over the remains of John
Davis who died yesterday. the cause of
death being in dispute. AS Davis had
met with an accident some time ago in
the Inland Steel company's mills, the
question had been raised as to whether
this was in any sense responsible for
the demise. Davis was the older of
accident policy for $1,000 made out by
the Continental Casualty company, and
this was a factor in the determination
to hold an inquest. The verdict was
to the effect tina death was due to pneu-
monia, which might, or might not have
been secondary cause. The body
showed marks of violence, which proved
the previous injury suffered.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
= ~~~~~A~~~~~>~~,

Rulo Minard is sick at st. Margaret
hospital with styphoid fever.
There is another vacant seat in the
sophmore class, since Robert Nellie has
left, and another pupil was added to the
freshman class yesterday morning.
Maybe Hammond won't make some
noise yelling at the oratorical this
year. They did not do so we'll last year
for two reasons, one was that Ham
mond did not sing until last, and they
did not dare yell, this year they sing
first; the other was that there were so
many people mixed in with them. This
year it will be fixed so no one will
get anywhere but the gallery. They
have a number of new yells to add to
what they had last year, which were
all good ones. Hammond has more and
better yells than any other high school
in the country.

FEDERAL ELY MAY
RESUME DEVELOPMENT
President Says This Is Probable
Here on Company Business.

w. J. Craig. vice president of the
Federal Ely Copper Co., arrived from
Salt Lake last evening and will re.
main in the district for several days
While here he will give attention to
important matters in connection with
his company.
Mr.. Craig said last evening that
there is possibility of resumption OF
work on the property of the Federal
Ely in the near future, or at least as
soon as general conditions have inn
proved. The money situation is be-
coming better steadily and it will
only be matter of short time when
financial interests will take hold with
vigor in development of promising
properties in Nevada and especially
in the Ely district.
The Federal Ely property is one
of much promise and development
work so far has been encouraging.
Work accomplished Is principally in
two excellent shafts and discoveries
made indicate that with the further
prosecution of development valua-
BILE mine will be opened.
