in the Superior Court building under

Of 564 Indiana avenue.
The fact of his arrest was kent a
secret. and the reporters for the pa
pers were reuested to keen the story
quiet in order that the work of secur-
ing evidence against him might be
facilitated. Had not one of these re-
porters deliberately broken faith wi.h
the police department the evidence that
viii be presented against Christian Hill
who is alleged to have committed the
crime. might have been considerably
stronger
The facts of the case are that Chris
tan Hill, who has recently served a
term in the penitentiary. is now out on
parole. He is alleged to have ap-
preached Mr.. Floyd Boutwell, of eS41
Ewing avenue. South Chicago. and Miss
Mary Peters, who were sitting in the
grove along Calumet avenue, near the
Reld-Murdock plant, and after knock
ing Boutwell, into unconsciousness pro-

ley were accepted by the board of pub
lie works this morning, and provide for
six-foot brick pavement on sand

is to be laid on either side of the brick
pavement, this sidewalk to take the
place Of a curbing. Since the alley is
twelve feet wide. the hole of it will
be paved, and altogether it viii be a
very desirable thoroughfare when COM
pleted.
Bids will be opened on oct. 1 for
contracts providing for the laying of
sidewalks in Wilcox street and pave
ment in sohl street resolutions to the
effect having been adopted today.
The Ahlborn Construction company's

About the Foxy Ones.

Every day the republican ticket is
being made stronger than it was be-
fore. The announcement of Henry
Whitaker in the Second ward is the
principal development of the day. Ev-
erybody in town knows that Whitaker
is one of the wheel horses. of the par
ty.
He is the kind of party worker
who can go out and get the votes.
Whitaker is a Schaaf man, and it was
not until Schaaf came out and he saw
that 1t would not be a question of
sacrificing himself on the party altar
If he consented to run.
Mr.. Whitaker is one of the substan-
tial business men of the city. He has
made good in business way and has
a host of friends in Hammond. He
has already served two terms as alder
man of his ward and proved an honest
and efficient city official.
Whitaker a Worker.
With worker like Whitaker on the
ticket it may be reasonably assured
that large number of democratic or
doubtful votes will be brought to the
support of the ticket.

SKELETONS WITHIN
The REACH OF ALL
F. S. Betz Co. Imports Fine
Bunch of Bones From
Austria.

Would you like TO have nice little
skeleton to put into your closet?
II so apply to the +. s. Betz Co. Ham
mond. This company has just received
the information that four dozen male
and female skeletons are on the way
from Austria.
1t is not very often that a concern
gets enough skeletons to fill an or
binary graveyard in a single consign-
ment. But that IS the way F. S. Betz
buys things.
II he wants teeth he buys them by tht
hundred thousand, and if he wants
skeletons he buys them by the doz-
en-. Somewhere over in Austria Mr.
Betz ran onto good skeleton patch
and he Just bought all of the visible
supply.
But what in the name of Heck does
Betz want with four dozen human
skeletons? That is the question that
the laymen would naturally ask upon
hearing the news
Needed in schools.
The answer is easy In the scores
of medical schools in the country, and
even in some Of the more up-to-date
high schools in the teaching of physiol-
ogy, it is necessary to have the human
skeleton to teach the students the
names of the various bones.
The supply is so low. however. that
it is often extremely difficult to get
good skeleton 1t was therefore a
matter of good fortune when Betz ran
across a fine supply of human bones
and was able to purchase them at
reasonable figure 1t is not known
what the duty viii be on the consign-
ment.
It might be assumed. however. that
the United States is not very particu-
lar about protecting the skeleton in
dustry. and that Mr. Betz bones viii
be shipped in free OF duty.
As soon as the bones arrive they
Will be placed in the hands OF COM
petent workingmen, who will wire them
together SO that each bones will have
the same position as it does in the
human body during life.
If there are any spiritualists in
Hammond they had better get ready
for most any kind of psychical dem
onstration. In fact, there is likely to
be ghosts indigna ton meeting over
at the Betz factory in the course of
week or two.
