UMRATH MOVES
OFFICE EFFECTS HERE

Theodore Umrath. president of the
Liberty Cow Mixer company. which
will put high grade sanitary milking
machines on the market, was in Ham
mond yesterday again to close the deal
which he is making with number of
Hammond business men for locating
here. Two wagons were sent to Chi
cago today to bring out his Office fur
niture, which for the time being will
be installed in the Stewart Machinery
building.
Otto Knoerzer, president Of the In
ventors Council, which was largely in
strumental in getting this infant indus
try into Hammond has taken charge
of the local field in the way of raising
the necessary $4,000 which are to be
subscribed stock at par He himself
has invested $1,000 in the project. and
so fast is the balance being spoken for
that he believes it will all be bought
up by Wednesday Of next week In
vestments can be made with almost
any amount and anybody wishing OF do
so should communicate with Mr.. Knoer-
ger at once in order Hammond people
may have the first advantage.
While Mr.. Umraths milking machine
is not the only one on the market, it
is nevertheless so good that it is
thought 1t will soon out-distance the
others, because it is less complicated,
and, cons quently, more easily kept in
a sanitary condition

FINDS KEEP
SAKE AFTER
YEARSLOSS

Attorney w NJ. Dunn yesterday re-
covered a valuable pin one year after
he had lost it to the day, and exactly
eight years after the death Of his par
ents who had given him the valuable
piece of jewelry. The finding of the
pin was one Of the strangest coirsci-
dences that has been brought to light
in the Steel City OF this character.
A year ago yesterday the pin, con-
tanning a number of valuable opals.
was lost and Dunn got the impression
that in some manner 1t had been stol-
en-. The jewel was a gift of his father
seven years before It was lost and Mr..
Dunn felt his loss very keenly.
Yesterday the attorney ventured into
a tailor shop on business, and was sur
prised to find one of the taiIors wear
ing his long lost pin. Upon question
ing. it was found that the tailor had
purchased the pin for five cents from
the person who had originally found
it. The tailor, having no idea OF the
value of the jewel was easily induced
to dispose of it for a quarter without
any argument to who was the rightful
owner. Mr.. Dunn considers himself
one of the luckiest men in the city, and
that the coincidence in dates was re-
markable.

culated about town yesterday, Indianap-

from the conference just what the bust
ness men wanted and that they would
come to some amicable agreement in
the matter of new depors.
The officials of all of the railroads
represented were called upon to tell
their tale of woe, and explained that
there were many other places where
the roads could more probably spend
their money than on Hammond depots
One of the Monon officials said that
the people waited fifteen minutes at
the railroad station and then rode four
hours on the train, and his railroad was
trying to improve its service first and
Its depots afterward
Some one asked If it took four hours
to go to Chicago on the Monon. and
then the crowd had another good laugh

of the Erie road said that the Ham

condition, and he would recommend that

Sim Unobtrusive.
J. ]. Sim of the Wabash was very
reticent about the matter until his un-
obtrusiveness attracted the attention OF
Chairman Wood, and he was asked to
tell a tale of woe for the Wabash.
Mr. Sim very adroitly explained that
the Wabash was merely a tenant in
Hammond and was at the present time
using the depot Of the Chicago Termi-
nal Transfer Railway company. That
was the best excuse Of all. but Mr.
Wood did not see it that way
He asked Mr. Sim If he did not think
the Wabash railroad could take the
matter up with the lessor and see il
more adequate facilities could not be
provided. Mr.. Sim promised to take
the matter up.
Chairman E. F. Johnson stated the
position Of the business men regarding
the matter, and said that he believed
Hammond on the twenty fifth anniver-
sary of its incorporation ought to have
better depot facilities than it has been
compelled to put up with for the past
quarter Of a century
Track Elevation TaboOed.
Right at the very start Chairman
Wood forestalIed any attempt Of the
officials of the railroads TO refer to
the prospects of track elevation by way
Of evading the demands Of the present
1t was generally conceded that track
elevation will not come for a good many
years
w. B. Conkey was among those who
spoke and stated how he and his fam
lily refused TO use the Monon and Erie
railroads to Chicago because of the
poor depot facilities and the filthy cpH-
ditions which surrounded them.
Mayor Becker stated that it had been
the policy of the city administration
not to grant the railroads a single con-
cession until they built adequate sta
| tions, and he promised to stand by that
policy
After the conference was over Mr..
Wood and members of the Hammond
Business Mems association made an in
spection of the depots all over the city.
1t was found that the local railroad
agents had seen to it. in the past week,
that the depots were put in the best
possible conditions, but their reasons
for doing this were, of course, appar-
ent.
Johnston Pleased.
| Secretary E. T. Johnston of the Ham
mond Business Mems association, said
today: Chairman Wood told the rail-
road officials that they had better take
UP the matter with their respective Of
fees and see what could be done.
He intimated that he would much
rather they would come to some agree
ment. but also indicated Enthusiastically
that something would have to be done
I am very much pleased with what has
| been accomplished and 1 feel confident
that the railroads will be aroused to the
necessity of doing something for Ham
mond in the near future"

WHATW WORRIED WIFE
MR.. sPRIGaSWoRTH WAS ALTO
GETHEK TOO HEALTHY.
His Affectlonate Better Half Had
Somewhat Peculiar Reasons for
Wanting Doctor to Look Him
Over at Once.

Doctor" said Mrs. Spriggsworth, 81
wish you would come and see my hus-
band as soon as you can do so con-
veniently. I've been urging him to call
on you at your office, but l just can't
get him started. I'm awfully worried
about him."
Il will try to stop and see him this
afternoon. Is he in bed?"
"Oh, no. No, he's not in bed, and per-
haps you better come in the evening
or early in the morning, because you
won't find him at home in the after
noon"
Very we'll, I'll come tonight. What
seems to be the trouble? Has he
caught bad cold?"
mo, he hasn't any more of a cold
than 1t is common for most people to
have at this time of the year. I really
don't know what is the matter with
him. / think you ought to give him a
thorough examination"
I'm sorry to hear that his health Is
not good. thought when saw him a
few days ago that he was looking re-
markably well. When did you begin to
notice that he was not feeling right?"
why, he claims that there is nothing
the matter with him, but, of course,
there must be-"
Does he appear to be bothered by
Indigestion"
mo, he has always been very free
from anything of that kind. You see, he
manages to get q good deal of outdoor
exercise"
That's good. A man who takes plenty
of outdoor exercise really ought to
have little use for doctor. Perhaps
the trouble is with his eyes. Does he
complain of having headaches?"
"No, he never has them at ALL"
well, does he seem to be run down
physically"
mot noticeably So"
"Is he unusually nervous or irrita-
ble?"
"Oh, no, not at ALL Really, do you
know, sometimes believe he can't have
nerve in his body He is always so
placid. Nothing ever seems to disturb
him In the least"
"A very curious case, indeed. What
has caused you to think ought to ex-
anime him?"
"Why, he hasn't been in bed day
or taken a drop of medicine for about
fifteen years, and can't get 1t out of
my head that he ought to see doctor
before he gets down sick. 1t may be
that an operation of some kind now
would save him an awfully hard time
later on."-Chicago Record-Herald.
