Whiting, July Goods to the value
of over a hundred dollars were recov-
cred by the police Saturday at the
home Of B. J. Chizamowski, 231 Chap

six. after he had removed from the

preliminary hearinv.
Chizamowski has been employed as
a clerk at the Niedbalski store in
South Bend. for the past three or four
months and during that time the pro-
prietor has been puzzled to account
for the disappearance of a large guam
tity of drugs and patent medicines. Re
marks made by him to fellow clezls

brag that he could beat a cash register

PUT GANG OF MEN
TO WORK ON SITE

That the new $25o,o0O Lake Shore
and B. & 0. union station in Gary is to
be a reality is evidenced by the fact
that half a hundred men are now en-
gagged in excavating and starting the
concrete foundations.
The depot is to be located on the site
of the present wooden building which
now serves the purpose of a station.
1t is located between the track eleva-
tions of the two roads and lies between
the steel plant and Third avenue.
Gary people welcome the starting of
work on the structure. as it has been
promised for such long time and as
nothing tangible was done toward be-
ginning it except drawing the plans,
many thought that it would not be
built until far in the rosy future.
While the railroads had intended to
build a depot here, it was their inten-
ton to build a small station. How
ever. in September, 1906, when the plans
were shown to Judge Gary, chairman
of the steel corporation. he said: Why
gentlemen, your depot should be built
to accommodate a population of quarter
of million. for such a number Gary
will have by 1915" The railroad en-
gineers accordingly changed their plans
and the larger station will be the re-
suit

;. Provide means of carrying of
surface water in the whole district, and
would make marsh lands more vaIu-
able
with these manifold advantages to be
gained Mr.. GostIin is of the opinion
that the drainage problem is easily the
most important one with which the
whole district has to deal.
He believes that It is a problem for
immediate consideration, for the fol-
lowing reasons:
/. The army engineers have recent
ly approved of the project and have
recommended that the Chicago drain
age district appropriate 81, 900 600 for
the immediate construction of the
canal
?. When the time comes to make the
appropriation the Chicago drainage dis
trict will insist that the Calumet re-
gion in Indiana be taxed it's proportion
ate share of the expense and II will be
necessary to have a bill passed by the
next legislature creating a drainage
district which will include all Of the
territory drained by the Calumet riv-
ers and their tributaries.

coed to the Strengthening and dredging

prevent delays.

the project at once, so that the people

Mr.. Gostlin points out that the East
Chicago company Is now bound by CON
tract to dig the Indiana Harbor canal
through to the Calumet river, and is
progressing at a rapid rate with this
improvement. This has an important
bearing on the whole project. as it will

.SOME INTELLIGENT DOGS WITH
THE GENTRY SHOWS COMING

music has been changed on him. but
in spite of that fact the intelligent anil
nal has never been misled.
There is quite a little human inter-
est about this particular dogs entry
into the show world. Seven years ago
Gentry Brothers were exhibiting in
Chicago One night a store near the
lot caught fire. In 1t was Collie, his
mother and three other little dogs. In
the fire the mother dog and the other
puppies were surocated. Collie, how
ever. was rescued in time
He was adopted by Gentry Brothers
that night and ever since he has been
making rapid strides to canine aris
tocracy. Collie is but one Of the scores
Of attractions with Gentry Brothers
shows. With all the others he will be
in Hammond Sunday during the engage
ment of Gentry Brothers shows, at
the E. J. & f. tracks and Holman
street The price Of admission for the
Hammond engagement has been re-
duced to 25 and 35 cents.

WECATER MAKES GOOD

The "Wecater" restaurant, which

with the rush Of patronage today at

but Proprietor Becker is delivering the

when the business men heard that the
''Wecater" was filing the long-felt
want, they focked to it in large num-
bers.
Mr.. Becker said today: I'VE are not
merely trying to make a good showing
at the start; we expect to continue TO
please the people. I have been aware
of the fact that the people would pat
ronize an up-to-date place. and my
only problem was to convince them

For ages mankind has known that a
dog understands the human voice, but
it remained for Gentry Brothers shows
to discover the fact that some dogs
have an ear for music. With Gentry
Brothers shows, which will be in this
city next Sunday, is a collie dog that
answers to that name.
This animal is declared by Gentry
Brothers to be one Of the most intelli-
gent creatures they have owned in their
quarter century in the show business.
The dog is left alone on a platform.
Around him are half dozen flags, each
one representing a nation.
Gentry Brothers band then selects
the national hymns and in turn plays
them. The dog listens intently to the
first few strains. Then he crosses the
platform and takes from among the
flags the one corresponding TO that
national air.
ColIies ability to recognize music has
often been questioned, but never once
has the dog failed in his task. The

featured is a lawn sprinkler. invent
ed by John B. Gorrell. who is also one
OF the large stockholders in the enter

This sprinkler, the officers claim, will
be the cheapest, most durable and the
best adapted for lawn watering OF any
device on the market.

struction Of the plant. It is probable
that it will be located in Gary, al
though this city has not been definite

said to be bidding for the location of
the mandatory
While their actions in those matters
are pending, however, they will not be
able. as orders are being received ev-
cry day for the new sprinklers, and
evenin now they are used extensively
about Gary. Several of those in this
city who have tried out the device have
pronounced it the best they have ever
seen and have written testimonials to
that effect. These orders are turned
over to a Chicago company. which is
now prepared to handle the product
until the new plant is constructed
Many catering offers have been re-
ceived by the promoters for the sale
of the device. Several have tried to
buy the sprinkler outright, while a
manufacturing company offered a roy
atty on the patent and made the asser-
ton that they could dispose of at least
100000 of them.

terprise are: John b, Gorren, the in

They claimed that they desired to
take the body to South Bend, where it
could be directly under the care of the
companys physicians. thereby totally
ignoring DR.. T J. Toner, who is the
physician for this section of the line.
DR.. Toner was absent from the city,
however. when the hospital authorities
attempted to reach him. and 1t is be-
lieved from this fact that they pur-
posely attempted to take advantage Of
his absence to spirit the patient out Of
the city. DR. Harry Walsh, who was
treating Moore in the absence of DR..
Toner, was called and he Joined in the
