Science has today furnished proofs
that all the purifying that your blood

must be done by your kidneys.
They are the most important organs,
because they filter and purify the blood
The kidneys strain or filter out the i'm
purities in the blood-that is their
work.
When your blood is impure. nothing
can purify it but your kidneys
To overcome these troubles take Dr.

THEY WILL MEET TONIGHT |
Young Republican Club Will
Arrange to Go to Indi-
ana Harbor.

The first meeting of the Young Mems
Republican club which has been held
since the election of officers, several
weeks ago will be held in the Superior
ceurt room of the court house this
evening at o'clock
There is much to be accomplished by
the young republicans of Hammond in
the few weeks of the campaign which
main and a large amount of that work
will be outlined this evening.
The meeting at Indiana Harbor at
which United States Senator Hemen-
way will speak and which will be at

There has been proposed a huge meet

CRUSADE AGAINST
ENGLISH SPARROW
Thousands of Birds Roost in
Trees Near Central
School Grounds.
CAP. AUSTGEN IND HIS GUN
Dispose of a Peck of Live Fighters
In Short Order Last
Evening.
Evening.

Now that the dog killing season ir
over, the Hammond police have had
their attention directed TO another pest.
the English sparrow. SO many of
these little feathered creatures have
been making their homes I'm the trees
In he school house yard, that they have
become a regular nuisance.
In fact the English sparrow became
such a pest that a meeting of the board
of education was held at which the
problem of its determination was dis
cussed.
The board members then conferred
with the police and it was decided to
see If they could not be induced to
leave their roosting place by shooting
them every evening.
Last night Captain Austgen took a
shotgun and after loading some shells
with number eight shot, he fired into
the trees. He let one barrel go and
then the other and the result of the
two shots was thirty-nine birds.
Many Birds Killed.
The sparrows then left the trees in
great flock, which seemed like a
cloud and the officer waited until they
had circled around and had settled in
the trees again.
\ The next time the officer shot, TWEEN
ty-nine birds fell to the ground and
they were scooped up into basket. In
all there was just peck of he birds
which fell as the result of the officers
three shots.
Otto Negele. who is the proprietor
of the drug store just across from the
school house yard, took he birds to his
bachelor quarters where he expects to
subsist on the dainty sparrow flesh for
some time to come.
At least hat is what he says he is
going to do with them. The killing of
the birds Will go on as long as they
persist in roosting in the tall elms OF
the school house yard and if they go
down to Pat Reilley's populars or over
to Brennan's trees on Ann street, ii
may be necessary to route them out OF
there.
The sparrow pest is becoming nuis-
ance in Hammond. Their nests are
built in places where the protruding
straw makes a bad appearance and
most people will be glad to see them
driven out

EIGHT LAWYERS
ATTEND THE COURT
Over Five Hundred Gases
Are Set For Trial at
This Term of Court.

To make trip to the court room
and lobbies of the Lake superior court
is a revelation. 1t would appear that
there is not a lawyer in the county
who was not in attendance at court
this morning. One lawyer said that he
counted the attorneys who were in the
court room at one this morning and
was surprised to discover that there
were sixty-nine attorneys in the place.
They kept coming and going and one
estimate has it that there are eighty
out-of- town lawyers in the city. The
court was engaged this morning in
setting the docket. The number of
cases which will have to be taken up
this term is simply appalling.
There are eighty -four criminal cases
on the docket, there has been 216 jury
cases set for this term and 325 court
cases. 1t is doubtful IL there is an
other court in Indiana. outside of In
dianapolis, where the Judge is faced
with such a task.
Reiter Systemizes His Work.
As an indication of the increased
amount of business which is being done
here there were only 1913 jury cases last
term and 266 court cases and every
body thought that last term was a
phenomenal one.
Judge Reiter plunged into his work
of the term with a real relish. He
has systematized his work so that he
can shuttle it off in large quantities
without apparent effort.
In fact Judge Reiter seems to be
the logical man for the place and his
business-Iike methods and the facility
with which the work of the court is
done, has won for him the commenda-
ton of every lawyer in he county.
Down in County Clerk Shortridges
office there is an unusual hustle. Law
yers are rushing in and out at all
times and Mr. Shortridge is fortunate
in having an efficient deputy In Carl
Ames and an assistant in Miss Hansen.
The wheels of justice are moving.

HAMMOND DISTRICT
HAS NEW OFFICIALS.

greatest honor that the Bishop had in
his power to give"
ID NJ Wood, while making his re-
port on the second day of the confer
ence, called attention to these things
III manner far better than we can do
without the figures at hand. He told of
the magnificent work that is being done
by the great industrial corporations of
the country, in that district. He told
of the hundreds of millions of dollars
that are being spent there in the eree-
tion of permanent plants. He said that
the population was rapidly increasing
and that the needs of the church there
were greater than in any other dis
trict. He mentioned the fact that 1s
of the superintendent of large indus
tries had their residences at Hammond
and that from that place directed the
work of thousands of men and the ex-
penditure of millions of dollars. He
said that, speaking from the experience
of six years of work in the district, it
needed, not to be consolidated with an
other district but to remain as it was
and to have the services OF the most
able and efficient man of the confer
ence.
Wood Favored Briggs.
A significant fact is that Wood, the
superintendent who made the report,
from the very first. favored the ap-
pointment of A. T. Briggs as his sue
'cessor. We can infer only that Mr..
Briggs was in his mind the best man
for the place.
In the conference just closed, there
was good prospect for the Ham
mond district and perhaps one other
being done away with, leaving four or
three districts. where there are now
five. Some measure of this kind will
undoubtedly be taken at some confer
ence in the near future. The terms of
two Of the superintendent expire next
year, and in the present situation it is
very likely that Mr.. Briggs will be the
one to have his territory enlarged with
a corresponding increase in salary.
The superintendent will live at Ham
mond, which is but 20 miles from the
heart of Chicago, and not half that far
from its edge Hammond is the center
of an intricate network of steam and
electric railroads.
Metropolitan City.
The very spirit of the city is that of
American life of today; and the man
that is sent to live there and be at
the head of the ever progressive Meth
odist church, has the greatest oppor-
tunity of the conference. and, we really
believe, there is no work in NJ Z.
churh in in the state that ranks with
this in Importance.
Mr.. Briggs realizes all these facts,
and he feels that the bishop honored

The levy last year was $2.70 and the
city administration is satisfied that the
cut has been made this year is worth
while and that it would have been
larger had the county commissioner
provided an appropriation for the build
ing approaches at the Calumet avenue
bridge, like it provided an appropria-
tion for the Gary bridge.
The levy for next year is based on
a valuation amounting to s7,S62,315.
The levy for next year. compared
with this year has been reduced on
bonds and interest by 80 cents, as has
also that for water works purposes.
The levy last year for street lighting
purposes was 25 cents while this year
it is only 81 cents. The levy for library
purposes has been reduced by l cent,
The old levy of 81 cents for judg-
ments and fines has been wiped out

him in placing him in that position.
His only regret is that his work will
necessarily take him away from home
much of the time. For the sake of his
four daughters, who are just at an
age to need the care, he would have
been content to have accepted a less
important place.
He goes TO his new work, therefore.
not only with the greatest opportunity
Indiana Methodism has to present. but
with the loyal support of the ministers
whose work he will supervise.

ARE PLATFORMS BINDING

AS a matter of fact, the platforms
of leading parties never actually ex-
press the views of the voters, and are
always very imperfect and haggling
compromises. When it comes to actual
opinions upon public affairs there is not
in the whole world a more discordant
body than the Democratic party of the
United States,-not even the Repub-
lcan party of the United States! The
Democratic party consists of three
great elements, namely % the solid
South, that holds together for sectional
reasons, caring not whit for the sa-
cred platform that Mr.. Bryan extols so
highly, and furnishing most of the
Democratic electoral votes; (2) the
Western and Northern radicals and old
line Democrats, who take the party SER
iously, and have in the main some convic-
tons along the line of the platform, and
