OH! YOU BEEF TRUST"
SLATED FOR TOWLES
Towle Management Says It
Has Secured Strong
Burlesquers.

For the benefit of the baldheads
Manderbeck of the Towle Opera House
announces that he has booked two of
the best burlesque shows in the coun-
try. He says that either of these shows
is as good as any musical comedy that
ever played in thi city.
The DuckIingso will appear in this
city next Wednesday, and are said
to be very good as burlesque shows
go. The city has been flooded with a
lot of highly colored Autographs and
the show seems to be arousing a great
deal of comment among those who are
usually the patrons of these shows.
THE Beef Trust" is the suggestive
name Of another burlesque show which
will come to this city week from
tomorrow. Watson's Beef Trust is said
to be a burlesque of unusually high
character. Packed houses are promised
for both of these attractions.

FAIL TO CLEAN WALKS
Many Householders Allow
Snow to Remain in
Front of Homes.

That people in Hammond utterly
disregard the rights of their neighbors
is practically demonstrated these days
by the snow nuisance on the sidewalks
The rotten" snow on the walks today
afforded good opportunity for the
cleaning, but in many places, some Of
them even being in the business dis
trict. the snow was permitted to lay
undisturbed to form a crut of ice when
the weather grows colder or more snow
falls.
Srteet Commissioner Kuhlman has
put the snow cleaning ordinance UP
to the police, and there are plenty of
people who would like to see the de-
partment make an example of some of
these violators of the city ordinance .
1t is said that even one or two of the
city officials are permitting the snow
to remain on the sidewalk in front of
their places.
The condition of the cross walks in
Hammond is about as bad as it could
possibly be. and in places where the
sewers have not been opened there are
several inches of water standing in the
guttrs.

Despite the bad weather hundreds of
people participated in the last rites,
and many more lined the streets TO
catch a last glimpse of the funeral of

Rev. Well breaches Sermon.
The Rev. Well of the Evangelical
Friedens church conducted the funeral
services and preached a touching SER
mon at the hall. He asked his listen
ers not to judge the deceased by his
act. for the reason that he was tempor-
arily demented Instead, he asked that
he should be remembered for his good
deeds. and pointed out many virtues of
the deceased.
The bad weather interfered material
y with the funeral 1t is customary for
band to head the procession, but this
was impossible yesterday owing to the
condition of the streets. Twenty one
cabs were in the procession and but for
the weather many more would have
turned out.
The following acted as pallbearers,
having been close friends of Mr.. Kunz-
man: William Kuhn, L. Devorak. Rob-
ert Werley, Fred Dietrich, William

Assn. Will Hold Inter
esting Session.
TO CONSIDER STREET OPENING

Are Invited To Be Present
at Session.

A great deal of interest is being
aroused over the meeting which is
planned by the Hammond Business
Mems association for next Thursday.

and extension of certain streets in the
city of Hammond will be taken up.
In every part of the city there are
streets which the residents of the
neighborhood would like to see opened
or extended The city officials are to
be asked to be present, and it Is
thought that great deal along this
line can be accomplished if the people
will come out to the meeting and ex-
press their views as to what is want
ed.
The meeting is open to every citi-
zen of Hammond regardless of whether
or not he is a member of the associa-
ton, and it is understood that the
officials are willing to act on any. sug-
gestion that seems to meet the com
mendation of the people who would be
affected.

ASKS $1,000
FOR HURTS
FROM FALL

Through her attorney, W. ]. McAleer,
Lizzie Ruben has brought suit against
the city of Hammond and William Ahl-
born, Of the William Ahlborn Construc-
tion company, to recover damages for
an injury she is alleged to have re-
ceived when she fell over a hose on
Walter street.
She alleges in her complaint that on
Nov l she was walking along Walter
street, between Fayette street and
Thornton avenue, after dark when she
fell over a line of hose which was
stretched across the walk and which
she could not see because there were
no warning lights to indicate its pres
ence.
She alleges that the hose had been
there two weeks and that there was
plenty of time in which to indicate it's
presence by means of warning lights.
The claims that she fell with great
force upon her face and. being a woman
of large proportions was so badly in
jured that she will never recove rfrom
the effects of the fall.
She claims that on Nov. "a she pre-
sented her claims for damages to the
city clerk, but that no action had been
taken by the city or the defendant COM
pany to indemnify her
Therefore she asks that the court
award her damages to the amount of
s5, 900.

.FORGER SWINDLES
TWO BUSINESS MEN
Uses Name of Paxton Lum-
ber Company to Mulct
Merchants.
GIVES NAME OF ]. SULLIVAN
Works Old Trick After Banks Are
Closed and Escapes With
Small Sums.

The name of the Paxton Lumber COM
pany was used by a young, smooth
faced fellow last Saturday to pass
forged checks on Hammond furniture
dealer and meat dealer. The forger
gave his name as ]. Sullivan and or
dered the furniture and meat market
purchases to be sent to 252 Michigan
avenue. 1t was late Saturday night,
and the merchants had no way of as
certaining whether the check was
forged or not. Inquiry at the Offices
of the Paxton Lumber company showed
that their name had been forged.
Enough time had elapsed for the forger
to make his escape. especially since
the merchants did not take the troule
to notify the department.
Hammond merchants were warned
some time ago to be very careful in
cashing checks, especially for strangers
and after banking hours. Several weeks
ago a fellow passed forged checks on
a coal dealer and grocery man.
In both of the cases of last Saturday
the amounts, out of which the mer-
chants were bilked. were below s12.

Be 7 IDEA
FOR HOMES
IS GROWING
J. A. Aubrey, Druggist
Thinks Nonresident North
Side Property Owners
Would Build If Shown
That Houses Would Rent.

The Betz idea for the building OF
homes in Hammond has been received
with considerable interest all over the
city, and while it is not yet entirely
endorsed by some north siders 1t may
bring about even better things than Mr.
Betz, who suggested the two-room cot
tage plan, and others, had expected.
]. A. Aubrey, the north side drug
gist. is an exponent of what might be-
termed the enlarged Betz idea Speak
ing of thu project to supply hundreds
Of homes for Hammond laborers on the
two-room plan, Mr.. Aubrey said this
morning:
Capitalists Want to BE shown.
I am satisfied that by concerted eff
fort outside capital can be easily in-i
terested to put up something better
than two-room cottages
Much of the north side vacant prop
erty Is owned by outside capitalists,
who only want the assurance that there
is a demand for five and six-room cot
tages and they would be ready to build
the cottages by the score. These men
are not as well acquainted with the
situation in Hammond as we are our
selves but If the matter is laid before
them in the proper manner they could
De lnduced 10 erect plenIy OIL cottages
for sale and for rent.
L myself have bought four lots. en-
Adams street, and unless my plans mis-
carry 1 intend to erect four cottages
next spring. They will range in price
from $1,000 to $500 I am satisfied
that can either sell or rent them, for
there has not been vacant cottage on
the north side for a long time.
Enlarged Idea More Acceptable.
The idea of providing cottages In
stead Of two-room houses is more ac-
ceptable to the north side people. be-
cause It would insure better class Of
people. 1t seems to me that only the
very poorest class would start out in
the two-room cottages. I have spoken
to a number Of people who own land on
the north side, but who do not live here.
One man who resides in Pennsylvania
says he would not hesitate a minute
could he be assured that his cottages
would rent. Under those circumstances
it seems to me that we could easily
show this man that he would be maxi
ing a good investment"

BUYS TICKETS FOR
ALL HIS EMPLOYEES
Carl Bauer So Pleased With
D'Urbano That He
"sets EN- Up"

Musicians Play for Large Audience
As They Never Played
Before.

''It is a shame that musical at
traction like Luigi D'Urbano's band is
not better patronized," was what Carl
Bauer had to say to Manager Mander-
beck of the Towle Opera House after
he had sat for an hour and listened
to the music that the band produced
Friday evening, and he forthwith drew
a check for sixty two tickets and gave
them to his employees at the plant of
the Simplex Railway Appliance COM
pany
This was the way that Mr.. Bauer
took to show his appreciation Of what
Manager Manderbeck had done in book
ing such fine attraction for Hammond.
On Saturday night, as a result of Mr..
Bauer's generosity and the fact that
the people had at last awakened to the
fact that they were missing really
great attraction, the house was COM
fortably filed.
And the musicians seemed to think
that at last they were being appreci-
ated and played as they had never
played before.

under the auspices of the Ladies So

cess. Professor Williams lecture
throughout is illustrated by expert

the country. Probably the most anus

his electrical alarm clock. The alarm
is set for whatever hour the owner
wishes to get up, and. at that precise
moment it goes off, a few minutes
later the clock turns on the lights and
starts the fire in the stove. and II
there is still nothing doing in the get

dumps the occupants on to the floor.
He shows how different lights are
made. the workings of the X-ray, how
