paigners are only beginning to get busy
now with the fatal hour only twenty
days off. Their tickets have not yet
been filed, and the candidates them
selves are not very sure just what la

whitney and Hunter Candidates.
The leading candidates Of course. are
out for the presidency of the village
board. The two men opposing each
other are C. W. Whitney, now a mem
Der of the village board as trustee. and
A. w Hunter. Thus far everything
has been running along smoothly in
both camps and no paramount issues
have been placed alongside OF any
candidate. The reason given for the
delay in fling the names for the party
ticket with the clerk is due to the
change in the Illinois election law The
law provides that wherever the primar-
les are omitted, as has been the case
in Burnham, each side must file a new
party name with the village clerk, but
this must not be done NOR than TWEEN

MAKES DECIDED HIT
Home Talent Production
Will Be Put on at a
Chicago Theater.

The Struggle for Cold made great
hit at Towle's Opera House last even
ing. The extensive advertising that
was given the show through the fact
that it is a local talent production at
tracted a great deal of attention, and
had it not been for the fact that here
was counter attraction in sthe way of
the Wabash College Glee club the
chances are that there would have been
even a better house.
The casa OF the fstruggie for Gold
company was exceptionally strong, and
it is the unanimous opinion of those
who saw the show last evening. and
are competent to critieise, that the
company is as strong as many of those
which are now travefing on the road
in other melo-dramas.
The company is to be congratulated
on the fact that it was able to draw
such a good house and please the spec
tators after they came II is said that
the company now plans to put on the
Struggle for Cold in one of the small

real estate transfer that has ever been
executed in Lake county. whereby the
East Chicago company conveyed a

magnitude. and which will probably
take rank among transactions of its
character as third in point of value.
This time the Mccormick estate is
the purchaser and the property involved
is valued at in the neighborhood Of
half million dollars. The transfer. as
in the case of the former tract, was
made by the East Chicago company and
the property transferred embraces
eighty-eight acres. All of it has a
frontage on the canal Forty-eight
acres adjoins the Palmer tract on the
southwest and the remaining forty
acres are across the big ditch ada

The exact price of the property is not
made public, but a we'll defined idea is
abroad that the same price was paid
for the acreage. per acre, as was paid
for the Palmer tract.
