Today at 10 O'clock the south bound

So heavy is this shipment of mail
that it was necessary for the postoffice
department to send the local office a
carload of empty mail sacks
When Conkey got the Macy order he
was compelled to show conclusively
that the Hammond postoffice could
handle the mail. The fact was shown
that Hammond has the best mail facili-
ties of any city in this locality and,
Furthermore, that the local office could
handle 1t.
Postmaster William H Gostlin has
been working night and day in order to
get the mail out, and this morning his
hands were all bunged up from han
ding the mail sacks. However. the To-
cal office made a record for itself for
the representative of the r. II. Macy
Co. who was here looking after the
mailing of the catalogues. stated that
he never saw his catalogues handled
better
The w. B. Conkey Co. has a number
OF other large orders for catalogues
on hand. This order required $4,000
worth of stamps which is half of the
normal annual receipts of the loca
postoffce. Another order for s27, 00t
worth of stamps is about to be re.
ceived from the Conkey company, which
will make the annual receipts of the
local postoffice double what they have
ever been before.

TIMES BUREAU,
AT STATE CAPITAL.


Indianapolis. Ind, August 24.-Form-
err Governor Winfield T. Durbin, of
Anderson, has rendered to Republican
state Chairman Lee his services in the
campaign after the first day of October
He would get into the campaign before
that date were. it not for the fact that
his business affairs require his atten
ton up to that date.
This interesting piece of news be-
came known here yesterday afternoon
when Chairman Lee went to Anderson
for conference with Col. Durbin on
political matters.
The tender of his services by Col.
Durbin was made some time ago,
though nothing was said about it.
When Chairman Lee undertook the
plan for the whirlwind campaign of
county organization meetings which
were held two weeks ago he invited a
large number of leading Republicans
from all over the state to assist in the
work. He did not pay any attention
to whether they were classed as regu-
lars, stand patters or insurgents. All
thought of factionalism was eliminat-
ed from the work and the only consid-
Grafton was to get Republicans. Col
Durbin was one of the men invited tc
i
work and Col. Durbin told the state
chairman that he would be pleased tc
do anything that he could along that
or any other line, but that he was sc
tied up at that time that he could MOI
possibly devote the time TO the work
He told Chairman Lee, however. tina
after the first of October he would bt
at his disposal for organization work OF
any other work in the campaign and
that he would be glad to render an!
service he was called on to render.
There is no man in the state tina
more thoroughly understands the gam
of organizing for campaign than Col
Durbin, and his ability in this direc
ton has always been recognized. Their
! has not been a campaign in Indiana il
many years in which he has not beel
found in the front rank of the Republi
cans working for the ticket. He is a
we'll known as any man in the state
/, He is prominent in the business world
being one of the successful manufac
turers and bankers of Anderson, an
one of the leaders in the Indiana Manu-
facturers Bureau.

COAL FAMINE IS
IMMINENT IN GARY

coal famine-the bituminous va
riety-is imminent in Gary if the Illi
nois coal miners continue their strike
much longer. The coal diggers have
done no work since last April and seem
to be near no agreement with the
mine operators.
According to Major John McFadden,
president of the Gary Coay company,
has sufficient Illinois coal on hand to
last him until Oct. IT, He states that
that every year 1t is customary for
Chicago to have 10000 600 tons of the
Illinois lump stored up, but there is
none on hand this year.
Already Illinois has reached a price
of Sa.25 per ton. which is 40 cents
higher than last year. John ]. Nyhoff,

Public May Hear All But One Talk.
Thursday afternoon when Mrs. Ma
ton is to address a Hammond audience
for the first time, only members of the
Nazareen church will be present. The
rest of her appearances however will
be in open meetings to which the gen
eral public will be admitted. The sub
ject that lies nearest her heart and
through which she has attained her
notoriety is the temperance question.
This will be the principal subject of
her discourse although general topics
of a religious nature will be treated.
Saturday evening after her final talk
Mrs Nation will leave upon a cross
continental jaunt through the west
which will be of the same character
as her former tours.
Mrs. Nation stayed last night and

COMPANY
HAS HARD
SHEDDING

The Continental wireless Telephone
and Telegraph company is understood
to be having hard shedding here in the
way OF securing stock subscriptions.
Most of those approached point to the
fact that they can make real estate in
vestments that will net them 10 to 20
per cent, and they do not see any
use in taking chances on something
the utility of which has not been dem
onstrated.
There have been a few sales of stock
however. and in one case a man turned

He says that he does not believe that
the government officials understand
just how bad the service is between the
