SKAT FOR THE
SKAT PLAYERS
Tournament Will Be Held
on February 28 at Carl
Helms Hall.

Skat players in Hammond are look
ing forward to Sunday afternoon. Feb.
2Sth. when a tournament will be held
at Carl Helms hall, in West Hammond.
The invitations will be sent out soon,
but anybody who knows how to play
this scientific game will be admitted.
There will be three prizes awarded.
This viii be one of the last games OF
the season in Hammond. There has
been some talk of organizing the play
ers in Hammond to a skat club and
forming a league with other northern
Indiana cities, but little encourage
ment was given the movement. Ham
mond has about thirty able skat play
ers. and whenever a tournament is
called at least two thirds Of these re-
sponded, 1t is evident that Hammond
could put strong team in the field.
but the season is so far advanced that
the matter would hardly be consid-
cred at this time. Teams from Michi-
gan City and and South Bend played
in a tournament last Thursday even
il.g at Michigan City.

CONTRACT WILL Be LET
Hammond Brewing Com
pany Will Close. Big
Deal Saturday.

Next Saturday will be an important
day in the history Of West Hammond's $
infant industry. the Hammond Brew
ing company, in that the contract will
be let for the construction of the build
ing.
The various contractors who are bid
ding on this job have the privilege of
making any changes or corrections in
their bids up to the time they are
opened. This is thought to be in fair
ness to them. as the time which has
elapsed between the time when the
bids were first asked for and the time
they are to be opened has been sufi-
cient to have made possible some al
terations in the prices of materials.
The meeting will be held at the Of
flee of f. A. Kinkade in West Ham
mond and will probably be attended by
all of the directors and many of the
stockholders of the new company.

Stanisland Lubaski was suddenly

that Teophil Stesanski. the uncle OF
the bride had died suddenly at the
table where the wedding dinner was
being served.
The uncle of the bride was happy
with the rest of the guests and kept
his surrounding in an uproar of
laughter with his wit and jollity. At
once he became quiet and leaned for
ward against the table. At first his
strange action went unn0ticed, but
soon some one addressed him and re-
ceiving no answer, they thought him
asleep. Attempting to rouse him they
found him to be dead. CONSERVATION

Hammond and Gary Court
Bills Almost Violate the
Speed Limit in Going
Through the House-Up
to Governor Now.
TIMES BUREAU
AT STATE CAPITOL.

Indianapolis, Ind, Feb. 1s-The
house passed three court bills yester-
day. 1t cleaned it's calender of all of
the court bills that have been max
ing trouble. 1t gave Hammond an ad
ditional judge of the superior court,
gave Gary an entirely new superior
court, gave Howard and Upton coun-
ties each a separate circuit court and
placed Grant and Delaware counties in
the same superior court district.
Looked Like a Farce.
The Hammond-Gary fight turned out
to be practically a farce, after all. For
weeks it waged fiercely and armies of
lobbyists from each city came to town
to root for one or the other of the
court bills. They jumped on each other
and called names and did other things
that are not found in any standard
work on polite manners. They were
not going to allow each others bill to
pass. No sir. Hammond had to have
a court and Gary none, said Hammond.
Gary must have a court and Hammond
shall have none, said Gary. And the
people generally looked on and said it
was a beautiful scrap.
Wickey the Mediator.
But Representative wickey came
along with the proposition early in
the game that Hammond and Gary
both get what they wanted. Wickey'
proposition was spurned at first
Neither side would listen to him. They
were going to have it their own way
or not at all Gary is nothing but q

They Are All Friends Now.
But Wickey stuck to his origina
proposition and began to win favor

until they were actually on speaking
terms again. and now and then Ham
mond and a Gary booster would go ou
and take a drink together. The frs
thing we knew they had each othei
around the neck and were as friendl!
as two cities could get. Each was foi
! the other. Wickey's proposition wa
working. 1t continued to work unit
yesterday, and when the vote on tn
two bills was taken it showed tina
Hammond had an additional Judge AM
Gary had a new court. Wickey jus
smiled.
Some Very Base Hints.
There are some people who are bas
enough to hint that during all of /
Hammond and Gary were not mad a
each other at all. 1t is even hinte
that the two towns just farmed up on
and handed it to the legislature b.
making that body believe they wer

If this suspicion is true 1T is only jus
to the two towns to say they did i

TO APPEAR ON THREE
DIFFERENT OCCASIONS
Tsuton characteristics Will Be Dis
played in Native Manner and
Tongue on Towle Opera House
Stage Early in April-President
F. G. Miller Receives Word.

The enterprising Hammond Saenger-
bun Fidelia and its wide-awake presi-
dent, F. c. Miller, who livened things
UP considerably in Hammond since the
consolidation of the two societies. have
ventured upon a social undertaking.
which. seemingly is daring in its in
ception, but which will undoubtedly be
handsomely rewarded.
F. c. Miller, the president of the So
ciety, this morning received a letter
from the management of the Pabst The
ater Ensembles of Milwaukee stating
that this most famous German Stock
company, east of New York would
appear in Hammond on three different
nights, under the auspices of the Ham
mond Saengerbund-F -Fidelia. Their first
appearance will be. late in March or
early in April They will appear
again on a night in the following
week and once more thereafter.
VIII Be Popular In Hammond.
This arrangement is only possible
because this famous stock company
comes to Powers theater. in Chicago,
every Sunday night. On the other nights
they play regularly in Milwaukee.
Their plays are all given in the Ger
man language, and there will be no
change from this in Hammond.
Their program for their three nights
in Hammond is as follows:
"OnkeI Bernicke" Schwank, NIT Ge-
sang-Von Gustave Kadeburg.
"Tante Regina" Lustspiel in vier
Akten-Von A. Paul.
Water und Sohn." Sihauspiel in drei
akten-von A. Paul
The coming of the German players
was made possible largely through
the efforts of F. c. Miller, and he is
today receiving the congratulations OF
the members of the society for the sue
cess
That the plays will be popular ir
Hammond seems assured from the
amount of interest that both Ger.
mans and non Germans are taking il
them There are Germans in Hammond
who have gone to Powers theater reg
ularly on Sunday nights, and there ar,
many more including nom Germans
who intended going. Now that tha
they will have the opportunity il
Hammond will not miss the occasion.

The E. G. Minas Company's
Achievements in Ham
mond Business World to
Be Properly Commemor-
ated by a Big Sale.
18TH ANNIVERSARY
SALE BEGINS FRIDAY
Twenty-seven Departments in The
Big Store viii Vie With Each
Other in Special Sales and Price
Cutting That Will Mark a Big
Business Achievement.

Nineteen years in business I'm Ham-
mOnd! That is the enviabIe record of
E. C. Minas of this city, whose cOm-
pany, named after him, will celebrate
this anniversary tomorrow.
To commemorate the occasion fit
tingly, the E. c. Minas company has
inaugurated a big anniversary sale.
which begins tomorrow and ends on
Saturday evening, Feb. 27. Each one
of the twenty-seven departments of the
big East State street store is offering
special sales and the price figure 19
will be conspicuous on many articles
A beautiful Colonial table tumbler will
be given away as a souvenir with each
81 purchase. This souvenir is of near
cut glass and is an elegant decoration
for any sideboard
The big E. C. Minas department store
on East State street as 1t stands there
today, is a monument to Mr.. Minas'
success as business man, created
through his industry. coupled with in
tegrity and the spirit of square deal.
Mr.. Minas has been one of the men
to whom State street owes much, and
who has been one of its most ardent
boosters, until today it rivals with
Holman street for honors.
Pluck and Optimism Win.
The beginning of Mr.. Minas in Ham
mond was anything but prosperous.
Beset on all sides by drawbacks and
handicaps, there was little then that
eYinced the future merchant prince of
Hammond. Pluck, optimism and busi-
ness ability won, however, and the
success that he deserved from the be-
ginning came finally, but not unex-
pectedly.
Mr. Minas is imbued with a civic
pride that is exemplary. He is in
hearty sympathy with anything that
stands for the advancement of the city
and in the counsels of the men to
whom Hammond looks up to when
some grave question confronts, he is
an important figure.
| With all this, however, he carries his
laurels gracefully. He works hard and
spends much of his time intoxicating
business principles, founded on integ-
rity, among his clerks. Mr.. Minas' ad-
vertising campaign has also enabled
him to reach his present pinnacle.
The anniversary sale, beginning to-
morrow, will be a practical demon
stration of what the z. C. Minas store
can do and will do for its patrons. The

| and post around the city is novel

SHOOTS
COMPANION

C. R. Wells, % years old, of Gary.
was accidently shot in the head last
night, at 7:30 o'clock. by a companion
and lifelong friend, Peter l. Paul The
shooting was the elimination of a
hunting trip throughout the day, in
which both of them had enjoyed a
pleasant day. On the way back they
stopped at the Binzenhof buffet where
they had a few drinks, and had no
sooner stepped out than the shooting
occurred.
The fact that the gun which shot
Wells was pointed directly at him led
the police to believe at first that an
attempted murder had been committed,
but after a careful investigation they
came to the conclusion that it was a
pure accident. Both of the young men
are employed in the steel mills and had
come to this city from St. Louis to-
gether with three other companions.
