better health in that organ is obtained

Sister Superior of Hospital
Is Made Happy by Gift at
Hands of Business Men
Who Say, 1--WE Are Seven
and Glad to Give"

Among the real happy persons in
Hammond. made happy by unexpected
Christmas gifts, the sister superior of
the St. Margarets hospital probably
ranks pre-eminent.
A number of Hammond business men,
seven to be more exact, although they
do not want their names mentioned, en-
tered into a Christmas conspiracy and
decided that the old St. Margarets car
riage, which had rumbled up and down
the streets of Hammond for years,
should be replaced by a more up-to-
date vehicle, and they promptly bought
new carriage. Not satisfied with this
they stole" the old Dobbin from the
hospital barn and vested him with a
new uniform in the shape of a harness
Then hitching him to the new. rig. the
whole was sent by a messenger to the
hospital and the. sister superior in
vited to come to the door to look over
her gift for herself and the hospital.
The kind sister was too happy to
speak her pleasure. but her smile would
have undoubtedly handsomely repaid
the generous givers.

his loss of $50. which he sustained on
account of a faithless employe at the

was acting under instructions from the
sister superior. ook the valuables from
Rynearson's pocket and said that he
would place them in the safe keeping
of the sisters. Mr.. Rynearson says
that he had every reason to believe
that the man was acting in good faith.
He might have lost his watch tooi by
the same method had he not expressed
his desire to Hannig that he wanted
to keep it on his chair beside his bed.
After remaining another hour in the
hospital, Hannig packed his suitcase
and telling the sisters that he would
go out TO have his suit pressed. he

COL. MEYER
DISPLAYS HIS
MOOSE HEAD


Friends of Colonel LeGrand T.. Meyer
today had the first opportunity to see
what success he really had in the big
game line when he went on his Can
adian hunting trip to Canada last No
vember.
A finely mounted moosehead of big
bull that he shot in the Rainy Lake
district arrived this morning from the
taxidermist and was placed on exhibit
ton in the State street window of the
Palace of Sweets.
From tip to tip the antlers measure
sixty inches. and, according to Colonel
Meyers guide in the woods. this was
one Of the biggest moose that was ever
shot in that part of the country for
many years. The guide estimated that
he weighed about 1,40O pounds on the
the hoof
Colonel Meyers has another set of
antlers of moose, which was also killed
on his hunting trip. These measure
forty inches from tip to tip. He will
in all probability hang the big head ir

FIRE BREAKS OUT
IN TOWER HOUSE
And Jacob Diebold Remem-
bered How Hot Sherman
Said War Was.

The Nickel Pate railroad tower, just
outside the station, was a hot place
for Jacob Diebold, the night watchman,
last night. For a few minutes he
thought that a towerman's job was
equal to what General Sherman said
war was. 1t was nearly the real thing
for Jacob, for he had to fight the act
ual flames. When he saw that he could
not conquer them, he summed the fire
department. Fortunately Mr.. Diebold
was not injured, nor was much damage
done to the building. fact, there
would not have been much damage had
the whole thing burned down, but, as
I it was, only the roof of the building
was damaged.
The fire was caused by an over-heated
stove.

DROPPED HER CASE
Miss Camp of Riverside Re

Will Bring Action.

Miss Camp. the Riverside school
teacher, who was transferred to Rob-

cording to the attorney who is repre-
senting her.
She ceased her daily trips to the
school building at Thanksg giving and
returned to her home. Mr.. Stinson says,
however, that he intends to bring ac-
tion against the city schools of Ham
mond to recover the amount of her
wages.
When asked why suit had not been
filed, he said that there was no use of
suing for two or three months wages
when he could just as easily get judg-
ment for her salary for the rest of the
year.
Superintendent C. NJ Mcdaniel stated
today that he knew nothing more about
the case except that no suit has vet
been filed.

When Judge Frank D. Prest tied the
matrimonial knot which bound Ernest
]. Raunick and Maggie Bell. the bundle
weighed 400 pounds. Judge Prest says
that he has never had such a big we'd
ding in his court before in his life.

pie. Raunick halls from Berlin. Ger
many, and Maggie Bell is from Chica-
go.

ago and secured the marriage license

AZ years of age and have both been
married before.
