THE PRODUCT

Otto Knoerzer, president of the
Champion Potato Machinery company,
has purchased controlling interest in
the Jones Dishwashing company. which
was organized in this city some time
ago, and will take up the manufacture
of this article in his plant in Ham
mond.
A number of improvements have been
made in the machine, which makes it
superior to those which have been sold
in this city heretofore. So confident
is Knoerzer in the new machine that
he will sell them on thirty days free

in all parts of the country. A neat
model of the machine has been made

HURIy TO LECTURE BEFORE
MEMS CLUB ON TUESDAY

year they expect to have an exhibit
more complete than the one which was
shown this week.
While in Hammond DR. King has at
tempted to impress upon his audiences
primarily that tuberculosis is the
problem Of the age, not only in this
country, but throughout the civilized
world; that it is positively preventa-
BILE; that it is durable in its earlier
stages; that Indiana climate is not
conducive to consumption and that the
disease can be cured in Indiana as well
as elsewhere; that education along the
proper line is the first step necessary
for the wiping ont of the plague.
MIR. Tucker Has Message.
Mr.. Tucker, he state food inspector,
in his adultered food exhibit had
message of equal Importance. Good
wholesome food he said was one of the
first requisites for good health He
showed what the state board of health
and the pure food had accomplished. He
showed what still remained to be done.
He urged his hearers to make sure that
they get what they ask for because
the unscrupulous dealer is still taking
every advantage despite the pure food
law.
DR. King and Mr.. Tucker will give
their exhibit at Rensselaer, next week
Much sympathy is expressed for the
family and the unfortunate woman. She
will probably be returned to the asylum

err in Chicago restaurants at SO per,
and Frances Agnew, his common law
wife of IA summers, who eloped with
him to Hammond last Wednesday. came
to the >partingssof their ways twenty
four hours later in the Hammond po
lice station. Technically they are ar
rested for holding up Mrs. Fred Rich
ardson of 1146 Harrison avenue. Ham

gun. But Chief Ausfgen, in a father
ly way, has decided to turn the kids"
over to their respective parents in Chi
cago. where they can renew their
quaintance with papa's slipper in the
woodshed.
Frances, who in her ignorance,
drained the dregs of the forbidden cup
within twenty-four hours. is s'sore" on
Stanley. But he, still imbued with the
idea of making her happy. says he
is willing to eat fire for her
Get Police "Sweating."
Stanley, not knowing the effects of
a police Sweating" can't understand
why Frances did not adhere to the orig
ina1 story, they had agreed upon to tell
in case they got into trouble. The facts
in their case are that Stanley, restau-
rant waiter, only f21 years old, who
likes to dress in the fashion of the
stage cowboy, and Frances Agnew, one
of thirteen children, decided that they
would get married. Last year Stan
ley frst paid his attentions to Fran
ces' older sister, but she gave him
~ai<f ls~seas gem erlter and sthesasns is-
guided youth taoH up with tile younger
sister. Last Tuesday they presented
themselves at the home of the girls
aunt, saying they were married and
that they expected to stay with the
aunt for short time.
Tries to Rob Cripple.
In the meantime, according to the
girls confession, Stanley attempted to
rob crippled friend of $500. Having
failed in this they came to Hammond
last Wednesday. and spent the night
in local boarding house. Yesterday
morning they sailed forthwith, but a
single penny to their name. Stanley
bought paper for this. Stanley then
decided upon desperate course. Hav-
ing reached the south end of town they
planned to hold up a grocery store. but
this being impractical the Richardson
residence was chosen. Stanley pointed
his gun at Mrs. Richardson demanded
something to eat for himself and the
girl, and Mrs. Richardson prepared a
repast for them. The woman sent her
little girl to the neighbors to summon
the police. Mr.. Richardson returned
in the meantime and took the gun
away away from Stanley, and the
couple was held there until the police
arrived At the station they told their
hard luck story of having come from
Texas, and being on their way to Chi
cago to get married and that being
without money they were forced ts
take desperate steps.
