Supt. Kasper of Lake Front
Zoo Reports Five New
Wolf Cubs.

Five wolf cubs were born yester-
day at the lake front park zoo. and,
according to latest reports. mothers
and children are doing fine" The
mother wolf seemingly thinks more Of
the young ones than of any other lit
ter.
Joseph Kasper who is in charge of
the ZOO. will not keep any of the
cub wolves. and is only waiting for
somebody to come and help themselves
to a pet.
For a watchdog. a domesticated wolf
is unsurpassed said Mr.. Kasper this
morning "and anyone wanting such an
animal can have one by applying at the
park. The young animal. if reared
away from the mother will be one at
tached to the master and to nobody
else. A wolf in a house or business
place as a watchdog is unsurpassed.
1t will make short work of any bur
glar If one finds his way into a place,
he will not be disturbed in his opera
tion by a baying. bowling dog. The
wolf makes no noise and only snaps.
and will put burglar to fight sooner
than pack of dogs. The mother wolf
at the park is rather squeamish about
her young and we have had to isolate
her from the coyote. She won't even
bear to look at him, and consequently
we have had TO put up a board fense
to separate the two.

PLAN NEW SCHEME
Trades and Labor Council
Discuss Weekly Meetings.

Weekly meetings Of the Lake Coun-
ty Trades and Laor council may be
held hereafter The new bylaws pro-
posed at a special meeting last Sun
day are adopted, thus doing away with
the semi monthly meetings. 1t is
further proposed to hold two of these
meetings in Hammond, one in Gary
and one in East Chicago.
The amalgamation Of the northern
Lake county cities was alos informally
discussed, and many of the delegates
expressed a favorable opinion for the
amalgamation.
The business Of the Lake County
Trades and Labor council has grown
in such proportions. that 1t was thought
advisable by many TO hold more meet
ings than two q month, and also that
at least two Of these meetings should
be held in other cities than Harnnnond.

BUYS PRIVILEGES
FROM THE OWNER
St. John Spring Hill Grove" Water
Known for Miles Around for the
Curative Properties That It Pos
sesses and Springs Is a Landmark
In Lake County History.

DR.. ], T. Clark, of the Hammond
Pure Water Supply company believes
he has discovered a spring water which
he believes is superior to any spring
water that has yet been put on the
Hammond market and as result may
abandon the Knotts' mineral spring
water, which comes from a spring on
Spring Hill Grove, ST. John. DR.. Clark
was at St. John yesterday, where he Sc
cured an option from William Koehle.
the proprietor, for the privilege of the
water.
In the meantime he will have an ex-
pert make a chemical analysis of the
st. John water, and, if it is found to
be what it is represented to be, he will
put it on the Hammond market.
Is known for Miles Around.
The st. John spring, from which the
Spring Hill Grove takes its name, is
known for miles around OF late years
Spring Hill Grove has come to be
known as the most popular picnic place
in the country, and thousands of peo-
pie who attended the picnics. have wan
dered to the foot of the hill where
the spring is situated, and drank from
the cool fresh water. But even in
former years it was known as land
mark and in the early days Of the his
tory of st. John it was often the only
water place for miles around. The
hardships of the pioneers would have
been many times greater but for this
natural supply of water. There were
few wells and in times of drought
they went dry. while drive wells were
unknown. Not only was the houseold
supplied, but the cattle as we'll were
driven far distances in order that they
might quench their thirst.
Theodore Brinker was the first own
er of the spring. and latter sold it tc
August Koehle. The latter put pump
on the place and was largely responsi-
BILE for its popularity. He had the wat
er examined and was assured that il
was pure spring water.

Round.

Indianapolis, Ind, March 2. - ru-
NOR that Governor Marshall might call
a special session of the legisla ture to
enact laws that are still pending when

Earned Rest For His Health
Brother Who Bought Him Out Re-
ceives the Congratulations of His
Friends Today.

in Hammond today is Harry Weis, who
succeeds his brother, Joseph Weis, in
the drug business. The deal, by which
the younger man takes over the older

time

temporarily, and will take a well
earned rest after his seventeen years

he emphasized this morning that he will
lay off only temporarily. and that next
fall will in all probability find him
as busy as ever again, although not
along the same line.

many friends for making the business
venture.
Registered Pharmacist at 10.
Harry Weis was a registered phar-
macist at the age cS 10, he having been
graduated from the Chicago College of
Pharmacy of the University of Illinois.
He spent practically twelve years in
the drug business and is an old hand
in the game. Under his regime he
will continue to give the efficient serv-
ice. which the Weis' drug store has
given in the past.
Both Joseph and Harry first began
their career in the Schacher drug store.
Later Joseph opened a place at 1O1
West State street, which became
known by everyone who knew anything
of Hammond. Three years ago he
opened his new place, across the street,
where the business is now located.
Since going into the new place. the
drug store has been one of the largest
in the county and has enjoyed a good
patronage.

The assessors have until May Is in
which to complete their canvass.
Have New Questions.
The township assessors are provid-
ed with a new set of questions to pro-
pound to the farmers for statistical
purposes. The list was prepared by
j. l. Peetz, state statistician. The
questions differ from those asked in
the past in that they are based on the
farm, garden, stock and poultry prod
ucts for the year ending Jan. l, 1909,
instead of being based on estimates
made by the farmers on the acreage
proposed for the current year.
In preparing the list, Mr.. Peetz ex-
planned he has had regard for the fact
that heretofore the farmers have be-
lieved that the information they were
called upon to furnish has been used
by grain spectators, and that as q
result they have declined in great
many instances to give accurate esti-
mates of their proposed acreage. Con
ditions developed, according to Mr.
Peetz, which changed the Intentions o.
the farmers concerning acreage aft.

Information in March, which interferec

ing.
Only personal property will be tax
en- up this year. and the office ha!
been well supplied with blanks, which
were sent out last week.
From the Hammond office the asses
sor's reports will be sent to the coun
ty auditor, where the county council
men will assemble to fix the levy TO
the year 1910.
Hammond pays total tax of 1912
but Mr.. Escher would not venture
| guess whether this rate would be low
cred or so still higher for next year

HAMMOND OBJECTS
TO 4 COMPROMISE
Rumors Reach City That
Ambitious Lawyers at
Capital Are Busy.

The rumor spread over Hammond
rapidly this morning that the men who
have been fighting Hammond's court
fight at Indianapolis had agreed to
compromise with the Gary crowd by
which both the Hammond and the
Gary bills will be passed over the gov
ernor's veto.
AS nine out of every ten lawyers in
Hammond are unalterably opposed to
any measure of compromise, there were
a number OF angry lawyers in the city
wherever the story was given credence
The Hammond lawyers say they have
Gary beaten to frazzle and there is
positively no sense in a compromise.
They intimate that if Gary does not get
a court now 1t will never get one and
a compromise would be simply playing
into the enemy's hand only to be laugh
ed at after the bills finally go through
Ever since the meeting of the Lake
Country Bar association was McCrack-
enized and Gary pulled out saying that
it would show the Hammond crowd
where to get of, the Hammond attor-
neys say they would never compromise.
They would rather see both bills beat

Have Compromised,

Lately, however, there have been ru-
mors to the effect that the Gary and
Hammond men have compromised. The
reason for the compromise is said to
be the fact that some of the Ham
mond lawyers are really, at heart,
friendly to the Gary project, and then
there are several judgeships to be dis
tributed
As soon as Hammond heard the re-
port William J. Whinnery, who is
known to be opposed to a compro-
mise, was sent to the capital This
morning D. j. Moran, an anti-com-
promise, man. circulated a subscription
among the lawyers asking them to raise
enough money to pay the expenses of
Edward Simons to Indianapolis to take
hold of the fight to the last ditch"
The passage of the Gary bill in the
senate is pointed to as one of the ef-
fects of the compromise, as is the de-
cision of Bowser to let the Hammond
bill go through the senate. 1t is ex-
pected, however. that the compromise

be stopped when Winery and Simons
