CEILING
IS PUT IN

For several weeks the work of put
ting in the Skyros marble fixtures in
the Citizens German National bank has
been going on. The few people who
have watched the worAingmen have
marveled at the manner in which the
marble is put together.
Skyros marble is very expensive and
is the most beautiful marble that has
ever been seen in this city. 1t is high
ly colored and almost resembles onyx.
Each piece is cut out ready for
mounting and is the exact dimensions
required. The pieces are numbered so
that the workingmen know exactly
where they belong.
The men who are working in it are
experts and come from Cleveland, O..
especially to work on this job. The
pieces are set in dental plaster OF
Paris and are fastened together with
little wires. The work is very tedious
and laborious, but after it is finished
it is marvel of beauty.

NORTH SIDE
RESIDENTS
MEETING
Secretary Markey Presents
Request to Board Of Edu-
cation Asking That Irving
School Yard Be Beauti-
fed. :


The North Side Improvement associa-
tion held meeting at the Irting school
house last evening and transacted con-
siderable business of Importance. In
spite of the inclement weather there
was a large attendance.
Secretary ]. E. MarKey was requested
to again present request to the board
of education asking them to improve
the grounds of the Irving school.
The surroundings of the school build
ing, instead of being such as to in
spire the people of the city with the
city beautifuP' idea, are ugly and un-
attractive one school yard is covered
with cinders instead of grass and pre-
sents a most unattractive appearance.
The residents of the north side claim
that on several occasions they have
presented the matter of improving the
Irving school property to the board of
education and nothing has been done.
They say the school yard is low and
swampy and is a disgrace to the city"
They point to the fact that steps are
being taken to improve the Wallace
school which has only been built a
year or two, and the Irving school has
been built a. long time and nothing
has been done. They do not think that
just because the north side is not as
attractive as the south side that the
board should neglect to Improve the
appearance of the school yard
The north siders also claim that the
city has adopted the practice of dump
ing garbage in the alley between Cedar
and Pine streets, south OF Chicago ave
nue. They object most strenuously
to this practice and have made a de-
mand on the city that ii be stopped.
1t has been decided to hold meet
j ings alternately in the Irving and
| Lincoln schools during the months OF
! April May and June, and by holding
! them once in two weeks there will be
a meeting a month in each building
| The meetings are held more frequently
! in the spring for the reason that there
| are more improvements made at this
| time of the year.

CITIZEN
ENTERS A
COMPLAINT
West Hammond Dragged
into the Limelight in an
Unenviable Manner; I'm
warranted Charges Made
Against A. Keldenich.

West Hammond, because it fiaunts it's
vice conditions directly into the face of
the authorities, has again drawn the
undesirable limelight upon it. The
present condition of affairs has existed
for some time. but when the president
of the village, John B. Hessier, and
Barney Johnson. the chic of police. were
told about it by reporters, they said
gambling would be stopped at once, and
that other vice would be suppressed.
A citizen of West Hammond in let
ter to the Chicago Tribune makes the
following complaint about conditions in
West Hammond:
sincere Letter.
Editor of The Tribune-As I have
been a reader of your valued paper for
some years, and believe you are in fa-
vor of law enforcement. I though I
would write you about conditions in
West Hammond, Cook county, Ill. This
town is unfortunate In many ways.
and especially so in the number of dis
orderly houses and gambling. Con
Moore runs what is known as Moore's
hotel on Plummer avenue. This place
is one of the worst in Hammond. In
fact. Moore is out on bonds now for
harboring girls under 6 years old. He
keeps girls there all the time and
charges them three or four prices for
their board, room and clothes.
Now Mr.. Editor, 1 saw in your
paper some time ago that you were
willing to lend helping hand to crush
out places of this kind. In West Ham
mond honest people are afraid Of open
ing their mouths for fear of being
siugged, or worse, at the hands of Con

CONVENTION
APRIL Is
Delegates to Be Nominated

Candidates Are Few.

City Atty. John A. Gavit of Ham

will issue a call in the near future for
a county convention to select delegates
from Lake County to go to the demo-
cratic state convention at Indianapolis
on April 27th. and 2sth.
The county convention for this pur-
pose will in all probability be held in
Hammond on Monday April 25th.
The county convention for the nomi
nation of candidates on the democratic
ticket has not yet been set. nor was
the county chairman ready to make
any announcements in this matter. He
intimated however that this conven-

MAY SOON
Be Bull I
Dan Enright District Agent
of Michigan Central, Says
That Work of Construct
ing Freight Offices May
Begin Shortly.

Dan Enright, the district agent of
the Michigan Central railroad, is now
very hopeful that the work of con-
strucfing the new brick freight office
in this city will begin in the near fu-
ture.
The friendly attitude of the people Of
Hammond toward the Michigan Cen
trail railroad is due to the improve
ments that this road has made in
Hammond in the way of a new de-
pot and parks along its right of way,
and has resulted in the swapping of
the local office with business.
The old freight office is entirely in
adequate, and it has become positively
necessary that improvements and ex-
tensions be made. 1t is understood that
the new freight office will be the larg-
est local freight house in the region.
1t will have one room equipped with
heating apparatus so that fruits and
apples, which are shipped in from
Michigan points, may be kept in the
winter time without danger of freez-
ing.
Cost To Be $4,000.
There will be new and modern Of
fee with all of the facilities lfor
handling the enormous business that
comes to the railroad in this city. The
freight sheds will be of brick and will
not be Objectionable in appearance
They will extend along the right OF
way for several hundred feet and viii
cost $4,000 or $4,000 to build.
Mr. Enright would not be surprised
If the work on the new freight house.
began in a few weeks. and it will no
take long to complete them. The plan:
for the new holdings have alread.
been drawn.
When the Michigan Central has it.
nSw facilities it is probable that it vii
get IS to so per cent of the business
that comes in and goes out of thi
city. The people feel that the Michi
gan Central has been friendly to Ham
| mond and they accordingly bill thei
| goods via the reliable old Michigan
| Central railway.
