Capt. James F.. Oyster. With seven more

board of education, was elected president
of that body yesterday afternoon to sue
coed W. V. Cox, who resigned from the

the rank of major and the board
elected him unanimously.
| The new president made a short speech

the board. and reminded the members
that in his former term president he
had always received it, He said there
was lot of work ahead, and mentioned

A letter from w. V. Cox was read to

the following:
THE fact that the board of education
is Independent has enabled you not only
to present the material needs of the
schools to the District officials who ex
pend the funds appropriated for the con-
struction and maintenance of school
properties, but has enabled you to insist
that these needs be cared for. AS re-.
suit the school buildings are in better
condition today than they have ever
| been. The only fault with the present
| arrangement is that the board of educa-
ton is not allotted definite and ample
funds for public school uses. with power

Splendid progress has been made on

with the work that has been done so
far. He expects that it will take some
time yet to complete the building, but

seen it. The work is completed as far
as the cornices, and the outlines of the

BET MADE
On FUTURE
LAND VALUE

Whether the Ben Hayes lot, just of
the superior court building. in Ham
mond, will sell for $4,000 within two
years, was a question raised by Ben
Hayes and Attorney ]. X. Stinson this
morn, hfteeen minutes after the ex-
sheriff of Crown Point had landed in
Hammond. The difference in opinoin
resulted in a bet with a SIS hat as the
stakes. Ben Hayes is very confident
that he will dispose of his property
at 10000 in two years time but j.
K. Stinson, who is by no means a pes
simist about property values in Ham
mond, doubts very much that the strip
of land will bring Hayes price in so
short a time. He would not say that
1T would not bring the price some time
in the future.
1t will be remembered that Otto
Knoerzer paid $4,000 for the Gostlin-
Meyn & Co. 25-foot lot at the corner
of Holman and Muenich court. less
than 100 feet south from the Hayes
proeprty. There may be a difference of
opinion as to the comparative value of
the two lots. The one is a corner
property, somewhat south. while the
other is inside property, but adjoining

CONTRACT
IS LET FOR
The BRIDGE

The contract for the temporary
bridge over the Grand Calumet river
a Holman street will in all probability
go to the Fitz- -Simmons-Co Connolly Co,
which also has the contract for the
erection of the new bridge. The COM
pany asks $3.50 for the temporary
structure, but will get s25 for all the
salvage that can be used from the old
bridge
In this way it is hoped to bring the
price below the bid made by Crowell
Bros. Of Crown Point. The contract
had not been definitely accepted this
noon, the engineers having reserved
the afternoon to value the material in
the old bridge.

The accident happened shortly after

In addition to his widow, Pickering
is survived by three children. The body
has been removed to Helwigs morgue.

BRADFORD
BUYS PAXTON
PROPERTY

An idea of the rapid increase in the
value of State street property may be
had from the fact that the twenty
eight feet which formerly belonged to
Jacob Kasper has been sold three times
at an increase each time.
Roscoe E. Woods first bought the
property for $500 on an option and
sold it to w. G. Paxton for s6.100. To-
day Paxton closed a deal for the sale
of this same property to ]. NJ. Brad
ford for s6.500.
This deal was made through Gostlin,
Meyn & Co., as Mr.. Paxton's agent. The
property is located on the north side
of State street, next to DR.. T. Edwin
Bells property.

THIS IS TIL:
SEASON Of
S|LL|NESS
Calumet Region Affected By
the Heat and Many Funny
Things Transpire In It's
Cities as Well as In Others
Of the Country.

The people of the Calumet region ara
daily giving evidences of the fact that
this is the silly season. The sillier
season might more adequately express
the idea.
During the winter months the aver
age person maintains his mental
equilibrium without much difficulty In
the spring the metamorphosis begins
and by summer time almost anything
may be expected from the victim Of
the silly season.
There has been a lot of talk about
the silly season, but the average per-
son has believed it to be myth. That
1t is a real psychological phenomena
is shown by the reports in the metro
politan newspapers of the seasonable
antics that people os this country
have performed.

In the Calumet region there have
been many indications that the silly
season is on. In Gary the bachelors
have been forced into matrimony on
account of the manner in whic< their
shirts are mangled at the laundry.
In Whiting a policeman passed off
a dead dog a butcher who thought
it was young pig. In Hammond
woman had her husband arrested be-
cause he was too attentive to her.
In Gary girl took a dose of iodine
because she saw her father put some
on a cut and thought it would be good
for what allied her. In Hammond one
woman had another arrested because
she claimed that her children had lice
in their heads.
Took Three ConstabIes.
few days ago it took one Whit
ing and two Hammond constables to
arrest a woman who had resisted the
serving of a writ of execution. A dig

being made up in order TO fool an
equally dignified attorney who thought
he had been assaulted. The joke was
carried out in the wee sma' hours of the
morning

beyond a doubt that the silly season
is having its effect on the people of this

There is no doubt that the insurgency

Charges Made in West Ham

To Be Cleared Up When
Martin Finneran Returns
From West Baden.

Martin Finneran is in West Baden,
and it was impossible to interview him
regarding the charges of mismanage-
ment that have been brought against
him by the auditing company which
has been examining the books he kept
when he was clerk of the village of
West Hammond.
However, Judge Frank Green, one of
his close friends, made a defense of
his conduct of the affairs of the office
of clerk, and expressed the opinion
that Finneran would be able to ex-
plain everything when he comes back
Judge Green said: The board of
public improvements took a mean ad-
vantage of Finneran while he was out
of the city, and at its last meeting
discharged him from this board I
understand that an effort will be made
next Thursday to have this action of
the board of public improvements con-
frmed.
VIII Explain ALL
1T am confident" continued Judge
Green, that Martin will be able to
square up the whole matter when he
gets back / knew that for several
months the books of the village clerk
have been in court and I understand
that when they were demanded by the
auditors that Finneran told where they
could be found.
It also understand that Martin kept
his notes of the meetings in the man
ner he did, for the reason that the
minute book was in court and he had
no other way of keeping the records.
