COMET
UPSETS
PLANS

Owing to a mistake in the astronomi-
cal department of the University club
of Hammond the hours of the comet
dance were made between IL p. m. and
a. m. Since the notices were sent
out to the members 1T has been discov-
cred that the comet will be the bright
est between the hours of O'Clock and
II in the evening.
Consequently new notices have been
sent out to the members stating that
the dance will be held between the
hours of p. m. and / a. m. Incident
ally IL is expected that a larger num-
ber of the members will be able to take
advantage of the opportunity to be
present.
Astronomers say that the comet will
present the most beautiful spectacle of
all on Friday evening, the night of the
dance B. L. T. in the Chicago Tribune
this mornink took a little humorous
fling at the University club in the fol-
lowing:
Members of the University club of
Hammond, Ind, are to give a novel
function" May 20-nothing less than "a
4 o'clock breakfast at 4 a. M" Break
fast in the morning IS rather bizarre,
eh?"

MEN HAVE
GATHERING

There will be a meeting of the Ham
mond Business Mems association in the
parlors of the Majestic hotel tonight

tion will be taken tonight.
1t is also understood that the matter
of arranging mitigation meeting

Facetious Interviews With
Well Known Hammond
Men on Passing of Comet
Shows That There Was
Little Apprehension.

There seems to be a general feeling
of relief since the tail of the comet
swished over the earth and we have
awakened this morning to find the sun
still shining, and the urgent necessity
of again beginning the days routine
which some of rs feared might be sud
denly interrupted.
This feeling has lead to a number of
expressions from representative busi-
ness men of the city. A perusal of
these interviews show that they differ
according to the kind of binoculars
used in viewing the heavenly phe-
nomena.

WHY DOES
IT OCCUR?
Hammond Is Beginning to
Get Suspicious That Gray
Wolves Are Loose.

What's going on in the Hammond
city council?
Why is it that every interurban
franchise that is now before that
body is being held up in some mys-
terious manner? Why is it that
Hammond, which has every op-
portunity to become the interurban
center of the entire Calumet district
is rapidly coming to be known as a
city hostile to legitimate interurban
enterprise?
These are the questions that is be-
ing asked by John E. McGarry, the
Mems Association. and it is probable
that special indignation meeting of
the business men of Hammond will
be held for the purpose of finding
out just where this opposition arises.
Everywhere over the city the busi-
ness men, are aslxingAwhy 1t is that the
Hammond scity council refuses to act.
L
is possible that a demand may be made
upon the council to pass some of these
franchises or pay the penalty.

The whole proposition looks queer
A glance at the following list of fran
chise projects that have bumped the

acted by Rowdy Stu
dents in School.

Valparaiso, Ind, May 19.-Five
hundred students of Valparaiso Uni
versity went out into the neighboring
hills for comet party Monday night
and wound up, in the widest riot the
town has ever witnessed.
Several persons were injured and
the rioters had little regard for any
thing or anybody that came in their
way. They invaded girls rooms in
the dormatories and scattered lin
gerie all over the halls.
Thirty-five of the rioters were finally
arrested, these being the leaders. and
they were to have been arraigned be-
fore Mayor Spooner yesterday after
noon. but in an effort to hush the mat
ter in the interest of the university, and
to protect the students from the in
dignity that might attach to the result
Of a court trial. there was no prosecu-
tion and the matter will be Investigate
ed by H. B. Brown, president of the
college.

The roit was caused because the
freshmen and sophomores got too near
each other in the comet party. After
several severe combats the rioters pro-
ceeded to ransack the dormatories, res
gardless of who were the occupants.
Then they raided the Lyric and vau-
dette theaters, drove out the audiences,
terrorizing women and children and
forcing the shows to close. One wom-

Must Make Good.

I'VE must justify the confidence so
signally expressed" said Governor
Harmon, in his letter read al the jubi-
lat1on banquet of the National demo-
cratic club at New York a week ago
and this was the dominant note in
the communications and speeches of
Governors-elect Wilson, Dix and Foss.
Broken promises, If such these be,
will count as heavily against the demo
Gratis at the next as they weighed on
the republicans at the last election.
Victory came as Chairman Norman
Mack sagely remarked, because the
people were voting men out of office
not because they were voting us in !:
and they'll vote US out, too, unless we
make good"
Those who imagine that the election
amounted merely to a swap of bosses
had better guess again. The demo
Gratis must make good.

One day there are reports from Mex

pressed, order restored and that all is
quiet again. The next day comes

reports in regard to its results.

Lajunta and Pedernales, with heavy
losses on both sides.

some of the roads and even Mexican
officials have but little information as
TO the situation around Chihuahua.
The Mexican authorities are suppress
ing all reports of rebel victories and
magnifying the success of the govern
ment In controlling the situation.
So we are left to imagine and guess
what the real situation is. That it is
not one Of order and quiet or satisfac-
ton on the part of the Mexican gov
eminent is certain.
