A CHRISTMAS TREE
FOR HIS GRANDCHILD

A little youngster enjoys some
advantage in being born in the
holiday time while the enthusiasm
of parents and admiring relatives
is at fever pitch. This at least
proved to be the case with the lit
tie son of Mr.. and Mrs. Simpson,
born early last week.
His very enthusiastic grandpa
Chris Malatsta. gave a Christmas
tree in honor of the new pros
pective voter at his home on
Christmas night. There were q
few gifts for the happy parents
but that tree wasn't intended fol
the parents-not by a jugful. II
was for the latest Simpson, and ths
way that tree was bowed dowl
with silver spoons, silver cups and
all sorts OF valuable stun was ;
caution. The young man vii
never have to buy anything 70
his silver wedding when that even
duly arrives.

4 HIGH JINkS,
CHRISTMAS TREE
and DANCING

If any one ever had any doubts
that the Elks were the ''best peo-
pie on earth the high jinks and
good time given by Tonopah lodge
No. 1862 on Christmas night would
have dissipated that doubt entire
ly. For those who attended that
high jinks had the time of their
lives.
Some 800 Elks and their friends
were in attendance, and after Ex-
1alted Ruler H. C. Schmidt had ex-
tended a welcome to all in the
hall, he introduced Harry Epstine
as the master of ceremonies who
would superintend the high iinks
part of the show.
Epstine did his part in his us
ual graceful and witty manner. The
gift from the Christmas tree as
he handed it down-and the tree
was only intended to add to the
fun--made the recipient of a 10
cent doll feel that he was to the
good with a legacy from the Har-
riman millions. And as the tree
was gradually stripped the mirth
increased.
All the Elks in the hall were
| fined for all sorts of derelictions,
and even the invited guests had it
handed to them in the same way,
but Puddy Grimes and Ed Malley
ehivalrously paid the latter tax.
After some recitations and rep
artee, during which Mrs. Corkhill
brought down the house by heI
rendition of "St. Peter at the
Gate" and Messrs. Voss and Ia
tro evoked encores by their mu
steal selections, the crowd devoted
themselves to the light fantastic
and adjourned only when the "wee
sma hours arrived and after al
present had voted that the Elk
were all that their initials oi
the order imply.

FOUR NEW
MEDICOS
ARRIVE

New doctors are coming to Hammond
so fast that the medical fraternity here
are wondering at the invasion of this
city. In the past month four new doc
tors have arrived in town with the in
tention of locating here and taking up
the practice of medicine.
These doctors win have to at once
begin their education as to who the
deadbeats are. and the local doctors are
figuring that this part of their work
will occupy them temporarily.
As soon as a new doctor comes to
town all of the deadbeats offer him
their patronage and he begins to think
that he is in clover until he finds that
it Is about as hard to get blood out of
a turnip as it is to get these people
to pay their doctor.
Nevertheless the new doctors are
here and already they are cutting some
ice. The fact that they are coming in
punches indicates their faith in this
city, but considering the fact that even
the old practitioners are finding the
people of Hammond so healthy that
there is nothing doing. is an indication
that the starvation period for the new
ones is likely to be prolonged.
The new doctors who have arrived
are DR.. ellison, DIR. Mertz of Fort
Wayne Ind: DR.. Hoffman and DIR. Bak-
er, a female physician.

TIMES BUREAU,

indianapolis, Ind, July "A petit
tion was filed in the federal court here
yesterday asking for the appointment
of a co-receiver for the Chicago. Gin
cinnati & Louisville railroad, of which
Jaames P. Goodrich, republican state
chairman. is the receiver. The petit
tion was filed by the Old Colony Trust
company. 1t sets up that the road is
falling behind and that a large deficit
has accrued Under the receivership. and
that the financial condition would be
much better If the road were operated
by some experienced railroad man.
Goodrich has never before had any
experience in the management of rail-
road properties. Opposition developed
at once to the appointment of a CO.
receiver. 1t was pointed out that a
large part of the deficit was caused by
the wiping out of old debts that were
standing when the receiver took
charge, and that to appoint a core
ceiver now would make additional ex-
pense for the road to bear. Judge
Anderson has the matter under ad-
