ILL HEALTH
'NECESSITETES
DEPARTURE

Hammond may lose one of its best
known citizens in z. F. Kunert, whose
failing health compels him to seek an
other climate. Mr.. Kunert is advertis-
ing his property in Hammond for sale,
as he hopes to locate somewhere in the
west permanently. His fine business
that he has built up in the Fayette
street garage and his other business
interests make it a matter of regret
to him to leave Hammond, but he
values his health above any financial
returns
Mr.. Kunert's health has not been of
the best for some years, but of late it
has been breaking down rapidly, and
going at the rate it has been 1t would
be only a matter Of few months
until he would be totally incapacitated.
The purchase of the Fayette street
garage would open a fine business op-
portunity for any man, as it has been
a paying proposition from the begin
ming. 1t Is located on the most desira-
bic lot on the street. the whole prop
erty having a frontage on Fayette
street and Russell street.

Wonderful Cure Wrought
in Mrs. Gustave Bleck
After Weeks of Suffering
From Uusually Fatal Ali
ment-Family Rejoice.

Mrs Gustave Bleck, S36 Clark street,
Hammond. has recovered from an at
tack of tetanus. This fact might not
seem unusual until it is known that
out of every 100 persons who become
victims Of this terrible disease ninety
of them die.
The case is therefore of great inter-
est to the medical fraternity and to the
public atl arge. Mrs. Bleck stepped on
a rusty nail several weeks ago.
On the seventh day after the accident
she developed unmistakable symptoms
Of tetanus. Later her Jaws became
set and the muscles Of the body be-
came as rigid as a board.
For several weeks she was in the
most terrible agony that could be imag-
ined. The doctor who attended her and
who insists that his name be left out
of the account, Immediately began the
injection of the anti-tetanfc serum.
Was $4,000 Units of Serum.
In all there were 25,O00 units of this
serum injected into the body of the
patient and gradually she began to
show signs of recovery. For several
weeks she lowered between life and
death with the chances against her
recovery.
She has now passed the danger stage
and is up and around the house. al
though she has not yet regained hel
strength. Mrs. Bleck is Al years of age
and her recovery, while not phenomen-
al, is considered remarkable.
The same doctor who had this case
also has the case of the son of Pro
fessor Linzeman, who was striken witt
tetanus and recovered. This case was
taken by him about two years ago.
At the time Mrs. Bleck was in the
worst condition, there was not a muscle
IN her body that was normal. In fact
they were made so stiff by the disease
that they were as hard as though they
We're frozen.
Mrs. Bleck and her family are elated
over the fact of her recovery and are
exceedingly lavish in their praises Of
the doctor who pulled her through.

There were several amusing incidents
in connection with the work which tend
to relieve the monotony. Every once in
a while Mr.. Surprise comes across a
foreigner who refuses to renounce the
potentate of his country.
He found seven of these last week.

HAMMOND

Hammond is to get live wire in the
person of Attorney r. w. Ross of Nun
Gle. Ind. who was one of the delegates
to the Federated Commercial Clubs at

way to Muncie and liked the prospects

BIG BOOM
IN SOUTH
HOMEWOOD
Recent Sales Cause
Satisfaction Among Mem
bers of Syndicate Which
Controls the Subdivision
Prices to Soar Soon.

The syndicate members who own the
South Homewood addition are very
much pleased at the number of sales
that have been made recently. Ten lots
have been sold in the past week, and
it is expected that the whole sub
division will be cleaned up this fall.
Dr. H. c. Groman purchased four lots
on Charlotte street, w. o. Lamborn
bought two on Charlotte street, Morris
Bros. & Koch bought two on this street
and Dr. George E. Miller bought two on
Detroit street.
This cleans up all of the Charlotte
street frontage, and in view of the fact
that W. H. GostIin has sold all of the
frontage that was owned by Gostlin,
Meyn & Co., the property on this street
is now off the market.
The lots in the South Homewood ad-
dition have been selling for $500 less
per so feet than in any other portion
Of Homewood, and this probably ac-
counts for the fact that there have
been SO many sales of late.
Rise in Value Expected.
1t is expected that as soon as the
few remaining lots in this sub division
are sold the price viii at once jump up
to the average price that is being asked
over the district.
As long as the syndicate holds prop
erty at the low figure it is asking the
price is kept down, but the minute the
last few lots are sold the supply Of
cheap lots will have been exhausted
and the price will go soaring.
These have been features that made
the market in this property active
and it is expected that the remaining
lots on Detroit street will be sold
quickly. number of new houses arc
being erected on this subdivision.

It MAY Be
PROCLAIMED
A HOLIDAY.
Mayor Becker Favors Lend
ing City Administrations
Civic Prestige to Ham
mond's Silver Jubilee if
Affair Is General.

Although no definite plans have been
made for the celebration of Hammond'a
25th anniversary as a city. the project
is growing rapidly in the hands of the
civic boosters. The law does not allow
the city to make any appropriation for
such celebration, but Mayor Becker
this morning expressed himself in favor
of lending the city administrators civ.
&c prestige If the affair promises to be
general He intimated that he would
not be adverse to issuing a proclama-
tion declaring the day a holiday as far
as Hammond is concerned.
Celebration for whole City.
OF the various plans that have been
proposed, the one providing for cele-
bration in which the whole city is to
participate is the one most urged now.
The plans would include the closing of
all Industrial and business places in
order to make the proposed parade for
the morning a success. It has been
further suggested to make Harrison or
Central parks the central gathering
place for the populace. where the pa
rade is to end. and where there will
be exercises of a public nature. big
open air luncheon. to be served free is
another feature that is being talked
OF in connection. with band concerts
and speechmaking the afternoon is to
be passed, and it is hoped that private
organizations, together with the local
theaters. will furnish amusement for
the evening in the way of dances and
balls and shows.
All Societies to Participate.
Although members of the Hammond
Business Mems association are taking a
deep personal interest in the promotion.
1t has not reached that state where the
organization would undertake to pro-
| mote the affair alone 1t is argued that
1t is to be a city celebration, in which
all bodies and organiza tions are to take
prominent part and that the glory
| should be, divided. For the same rea-
son 1t is hoped that all lodges and or
ganized societies will take part in the
parade.
Congressman E. D. Crumpacker has
been approached on the subject. to
learn whether he would make an ad-
dress in Hammond. and said that he
would certainly appreciate the honor of
congratulating the Hammond people on
their city's birthday The promoters
will also try to get in touch with 9TH
er prominent men who are to be in
Hammond on that day

Work at the plant has been slack

notified to hold themselves in readiness

be resumed in few days.
At the local plant nothing was

NEW CITY HALL UP
TO NEXT MAYOR
Building Project a Matter
for New Administration
to Wrestle With.
STRUCTURE MUST Be BUILT
Remodeling of Old One for Police
Headquarters, Leaves No Room
for Other Officials.

Hammonds new city hall IS a project
which will be planned and completed
under the administration Of the next
mayor Of Hammond The remodeling
of the old structure with a view of fur
nishing police headquarters the last
possible accommodation for the city
officials in the present building.
Being In the thick Of the campaign.
Mayor Becker is not building any air
castles at present which he would re-
duce to city hall building later. but
he has long ago admitted the need Of
a new building. The only plan to
which he has given expression is that
Hammond's new city hail should be an
office building strictly. without having
ii deprecated by housing horses in it
for a fire department. or prisoners in
connection with city jail II the police
department were housed there. Mayor
Becker has never given expression to
his preference as TO where the city hall
should be located. knowing that it
would precipitate a stampede OF prop
erty owners to unload their property or
subject the administration to a lot Of
wire pulling
The sentiment in Hammond seems
10 be that the city should have city
hall. costing not less than $4,000, and
the probabilities are that the cost Will
not fall below those figures
