Of Interest to Gary People.

Considerable local interest is at
tached TO the following dispatch:
Bloomington. ILL.,, Aug. THE
last chapter in the famous Colonel
Thomas Smell litigation came yes
terday when Mabelle Smell Nc
Namara and husband of Kansas
City, filed a quitclaim deed which
conveys to Richard Smell forty
acres of land valued at $4,000,
decided by the late Thomas Smell
a short time previous to his death
and which, it was claimed by the
Smell heirs, was obtained through
undue influence. The case. which
was to come up at the November
term of the circuit court, by the
fling of the quitclaim deed, and
which promised to be sensational,
will be dismissed.
r F. Smell, president of the FRS
National Bank of Gary. is one of tn
heirs of his late grandfather, Colone
Smell. and it is said that his porto
will amount to $1,OO0,o0O. which he wi
invest in Gary.

No Murder Verdict.

The remains of Andrew Isich, Six

Isich, who was a steel plant workman,
was found floating in the Grand Calu

Wednesday,
AS he was fully clothed and there
was no apparent reason for his being
in that part of the city at that time of
the day Chief Emerson Bowser of the
steel corporation police and Chief Mar
tin of the city force were inclined to
view the case with suspicion. How :
ever, an examination of the body by
Deputy Coroner Gordon at Jones
morgue gave him no reasons TO sup
port such a theory, so he gave YER

DEATHS IN BOTH FAMILIES
IN THE SAME HOME

Sadness prevails in the home at S12
Tyler streets. 1t is occupied jointly by
two families that OF John Hickey and
John Dolan. Mrs. Dolan is Mr..
Hickey's sister.
In the Hickey and Dolan household
there were three children. One was a
baby girl. the Dolans also had another
child, James, who was four years old.
Then there was also another James, the
two and one-half year old boy of the
Hickeys.
The week before last the two little
cousins were taken sick with the
cholera infantum and they were both
removed to the Mercy hospital. In a
few days the little son of the Hickey 5
died, that was last Monday. and Sat-
urday his little PLAYMATE, the Dolan
child, sick and inconsolable, passed
away too.
Both families are heartbroken over
the loss of their little ones.

Ever since last winter hundreds of
men have been grading the land which
has been transformed from high sand
dunes, low marshes, trees and bushes
to a level plain. Structural steel work
on several buildings has been COM
p:eted and ards and yards Of concrete
foundations have been laid
The skeletons OF some of the steel
work now tower a good many feet in
the air and the gatlinggu noise OF
the pneumatic riveters in the hands OF
the structural iron workers tells that
all is busy at the new place. Emil

Secrets Of Good Advertising
Concentration All Important

An eight-nch advertisement in one newspaper
will bring much bigger results than two-inch adj
vertisement in four newspapers.
Don't skip around from newspaper to
other. Success in advertising comes from hammer
ing away at the same crowd.
Pick out the newspaper which has the kind of
readers you want for customers, and then stick IF
you want to make advertisement hit all you need
to do is talk to the reader of the newspaper you
talk across the counter the counter to a customer.
Simply talk. That IS all. Be sincere about it.
Let your words ring true. The people will listen.
They like it.
The fact that your advertisement appears con-
tinuousy in reputable newspaper stimulates pub
lie confidence. Your shop advances step by step in
the estimation of thousands of people who may be
months in getting around to make their first pur-
chase
Originality may be good, but advertisement
that sells goods, even if copied, is better.

power to check the disease but so far
all efforts have proven futile.
