BIG SURPRISE

Tired of having her husband to sup
port in addition to herself, Mrs. Louis
Klosterman, TO Ash street, last even
ing caused his arrest, and this morn
ing Judge Mcmahon committed him to
the county jail for a period of six
months, in addition to assessing a fine
of So against him. Klosterman pleaded
guilty to the charge of wife abandon
ment, and had nothing to say when
the woman told the story of their un-
happy married life.
She said that her husband, who is a
strong able-bodied man, had failed to
give her decent support for the last
six years, that instead of supporting
her she would have to support him. In
addition to this he would take what lit
tie money he could find around the
house and spend It in the saloons
1t was evident that the woman took
the step only as a last resort. but the
cup of her misery seemed to be full, and
she took what she considered a desper-
ate step.
Judge Mcmahon in accordance with
his policy toward men who abuse and
neglect their wives and families, gave
Klosterman a severe sentence.

Henry Davidson Gets New
Information at Indian
apolis This Week.
Especial to TIE T1mEs.l


Whiting, Ind, Dec. 4. = Henry
Davidson, Of Whiting, treasurer of
the Indiana Public Improvements as
sociation, points out that unless the
supreme court Of the state reverses
its decision regarding the three-mile
road law, it will be three years be-
fore there can be any public improve
ments in this state.
The fact was brought out in talk
he had with Frank Wild, of A. F..
Void & Co., bond brokers of Indian
apolis. In view of the fact that the
contracts for roads are let one year
and built the next year there will be
no new roads built in 1910.
The new legislature will meet in
january 1911. and after it passes a
new law to take the place of the old
one it will be necessary to have 1t
taken TO the supreme court and tested
before be bond buyers win consent to
loan money on proposed roads.
In other words it will take a year
anda half to have the matter cleared
up in the supreme court of the state.
PAPERS WITHHOLD NEWS.
It is said that there can not even be
road repairs for a year and half.
However. 1T is said that the bond buy
ers and the contractors are confident
that the supreme court viii reverse
itself There will be in the neighbor-
hood of ten test cases filed to cover

WAITING FOR HAMMOND
TO MAKE ITS 1ST. MOVE
Whole Project of Paving
State Line St. Depends
on Officials.
A LEADER IS WANTED
People in Both Places Are Impa-
tient at the Continuous
Delay.

West Hammond is waiting for Ham
mond TO make a move in the plan to
pave State Line street. The West
Hammond officials have given the prof.
ect their emphatic stamp of approval
by ordering blue prints prepared show
ing just how the street will be cut
through to P1ummer avenue and just
what the assessments of damages and
benefits will be.
In fact. West Hammond has gone
just as far as It can until Hammond
makes a move. The whole project now
depends upon the Hammond Officials.
There seems to be very little oppo-
sition to the plan to open the street.
and most of the property owners be-
lieve that it viii be a great thing for
both the people of Hammond and the
people of the neighboring village.
The opening and paving of this
street would give both of these com
munities an important north and south
thoroughfare and would add greatly to
the value of property between Holman
street and the state line
Leader Needed.
It will have a tendency to make state
street. Sibley street and Piummer av-
enue good business streets and will
take a great deal of the heavy traffic
or from Holman street. The people
of Hammond and West Hammond are
very impatient at the delay in making
this Improvement as they fear that this
plan will have the same fate as 9TH
ers. and that the whole matter will
end in talk and nothing more.
The situation seems to need a deter
mined man who will act as q leader
for the rest or the property owners
and see the matter through at any cost
West Hammond is ready and the peo.
pie over there are saying. Hammond
it is your move"

Absolution.

fetal Organ.
OPTIC GOES As SECURITY

August Schneider of Hammond part
ed with his glass eye in an effort to
secure absolution from Catholic
priest at Fort Wayne. 1t might be
added that Schneider is laboring under
some queer delusions.
He called at Judge Prest's court and
stated that a number of years ago he
had been employed by the G. II. Ham
mond Co. in this city. He says that
he was paid off at the rate of $3.50 a
day when he should have received s1.75.
He tried to secure the services of one
of the attorneys in the office to sue the
G. H. Hammond Co. but none of them
would take the case. Judge Prest
stepped out of the court room, and
while he was gone the stranger put
in call for the priest at Fort Wayne.
The call came in and Schneider asked
for absolution from the priest The
priest told him that he would have to
go to Fort Wayne. Schneidex asked
him if he could not come to Ham
mond.

When the man finished Judge Prest
found that the call had come to 81.
He asked Schneider to pay for it and
Schneider said that he did not have any
money
He went through his pockets and
produced a jackknife, an harmonica. a
plug of chewing tobacco. a box of pills
and package of Bull Durham smoking
tobacco
Judge Prest told him that those ar
ticies would not pay for, the call and
that-he would have to pony up the
money. 1t was then that Schneider
took out his glass eye and left that as
/ security for the 81 telephone toll
And now the boys have the joke OF
Judge Prest. He has 81 toll to pay
and has only a glass eve to show for

SITUATION
Switchmen in Calumet Re-
gion Take Little Interest
in Possible Strike-Ham-
mond Men Discuss the
Possibilities.

There is very little interest being
taken in the switchmen's strike in
Hammond Notwithstanding the fact
that there are in the neighborhood Of
800 switchmen who live in this city and
work for the various railroads in this
locality
The local organization. however, did
send two representatives, Patrick
Geary and Joe Bush, to Chicago to
confer with the unions there regard
ing the situation in the middle west.
OF the 800 switchmen in this locality
it is said that at least rs or so per
cent of them are union men. The rest
are non-union men. One of the men
talking of the situation today said:
AT the present time the scale for
men working days is 30 cents an hour
for switchmen and s5 cents for fore
men. The rate for those working
nights is "a cents an hour for switch
men and 81 cents an hour for fore
men.
Not Dissatisfied Here.
we don't know anything about the
situation" he continued. l have not
heard of any dissatisfaction among the
local men, although of course, the 6
cents increase which is being asked for
in other parts of the country would
be acceptable"
Among the business men of Ham
mond the opinion is expressed that it
would be hard blow to the city If the
railroads in this locality should be
tied up. The city is now on the verge
of the most prosperous period in its
history and everything should be done
to avoid labor troubles at this time.
They point out the fact that there is
sure to be plenty of work in the fu-

try. For the woman who wants
something different, this medieval
costume will undoubtedly be the
choice. This is a tight-6tting garment
from above the bust to below the hips.
The fitted PORTION is rather short in
the back, and curves gradually down
in front, where it is sometimes If
rounded outline while in other mod
els it ends in deep point. The full
skirt is attached 10 this fitted bodice.
In other models the fitted effect is
produced by rather plain draperv.
The great value Of this medieval
costume to the average woman will
be that it points the way to a gradual
lengthening of the waistline, of which
we shall, undoubtedly, see better and
greater expression in the coming au-
tumn.
The plain tailored shirtwaist. wheth-
er of linen or some of the plain white
cotton materials is first choice for the
coming summer season, The vogue
Of the Gibson plait at the shoulders
is quite evident, but other waists will
have the simple tucks, either in groups
or equidistant, both in front and back
When these tucks are made in groups
the plain space between the tuckiny
is filed with hand work, the solid em.
broidery in satin stitch being favor
ite. The same idea is carried out on
the collar if it is made attached to the
waist.
These waists open in front, the reg

rows and sometimes four are favored
OF course there are buttonholes for
but one set. Sometimes the waists
will be much worn. The lace will
match the color of the suit and to
make it harmonic more 6ttingly, it
will be made up with bands or straps
of the cloth, The point is to have
some of the material of the coat and
skirt appear on the waist in some form
or other. The sleeves should have a
little of the heavier material as a fin

The strictly tailored waist has the
regulation shlrtwaist sleeve, which is
exceedingly scant, with the plain stuff
fastened with link buttons, For dres
sier waists the tucked sleeve is gener-
ally chosen One may suit the fancy
