peCted to Draw Big Throng on the

ANOTHER
OFFENSIVE
SPECTACLE

Considerable curiosity has been
aroused by the hypnotic sleeper who
has been. placed in the swindow In
Ruhstadts old store as an advertise
ment of the Gilpin's show which begins
week in this city tonight.
Such uncanny exhibitions are depre-
Gated by the people of Hammond who
have seen so many others of the kind
that have proven to be fakes. In one
case a woman who was placed in the
widow in the Bijou theater was taken
violently Ill and had to be removed.
1t was demonstrated then that she was
not under the so-called hypnotic spell.
The show is said to be a good one,
but such exhibitions are offensive to
he senses of the people of Hammond
and many of the business men of the
city are of the opinion that this feature
ought to be eliminated.

SMOKY HAZE
PAIL Of The
FOREST FIRE

The smoke of the great forest fires
that are raging over the country fills
the air in the Calumet region. Las
night the moon had peculiar appear
ance and shown with a subdued light
on account of the smoke in the air.
This is an annual occurrence in the
fall and is especially noticeable in this
section of the county when the forest
fires are raging. The wind does not
necessarily have to be from the direc-
ton in which the fires are burning for
the reason that the wind travels in
great cyclones across the country and
smoke which may be picked up by a
northerly wind in idaho and Montana
might be driven northward by the time
it was carried here.
