men in Effort to Control
the Blaze.

BY a fire of unknown origin the old
Columbia avenue grandstand, some
time ago remodeled, was completely
destroyed between midnight and 4
o'clock this morning. The structure,
now the property of the Standard Steel
Car company, was unused. low esti-
mate of the property loss was 1000.
The company refuses to state whether
or not this loss was covered by insur-
ance.
For hours fire companies No. 1 and 4
fought the flames in an unremitting ef-
fort to prevent spreading of the con-
fiagration to the surrounding buildings
They were successful, for, although
the exterior of nearby company houses
were scorched by the blaze and the
glass fronts of saloons upon the oppo
site side of the avenue were broken BY
the intense heat. the fire was confined
to its starting place.

SHE'S COMING BACK,

Not Satisfied With Her Es-
cape From Mob Reform
er Will Return.
WILL STAY HERE A WEEK
J. S. Pollard Justifes the Temperance
Workers Harangue On Monon
Depot Platform.
WILL STAY HERE A WEEK

Not being satisfied with a fortunate
escape from an enraged mob of Ger
mans and neer-Germans, Mrs. Carrie
A. Nation. one of the most notorious of
American women. will return to Ham
mond for weeks stay in September.
During this visit Carrie will have am
pie time to talk about all nationali-
ties and If she finds a cause may get
in overtime with her hatchet.
BY a little explanation I. G. Pollard
head of the temperance movement in
Hammond. changed the aspect of Mrs.
Carrie Nations speech upon the Monon
platform Saturday morning, from a
seemingly uncal1ed for abuse to an out
burst of righteous Indignation Mr.
Pollard and wife and Mrs. William
Keller of South Hammond say that the
man whom Mrs. Nation addressed had
just previous to her outburst said
Get out of my road, you old slob."
DO you think that Mrs. Nation was
so blinded by her anger that she die
not realize the serious nature of hel
statements?" was asked Mr.. Pollard.
Il do not" he answered. emphatical-
ly. In the first place Mrs. Nation does
not let the devil stir her. she stir:
him. Every word she said was mean
the last that there were exceptions Il
the men she had mentioned, but tha
they were not the rule. She spoke il
moderation, but the people only ex
pected her extremes"
However, there are those who sa,
that while Mrs. Nation may have beer
justified in her abuse of the man wht
called forth the criticism, she was to,
sweeping in her statements when sh,
included an entire race in her maledic
| tions.
