ton schemes. From this time on he
was alternately successful and unsuc-
cessful until his fortune was finally
estimated to be over 100000.
He organized the Hammond Corn
Syrup works which later burned down.
He built the Lakeside Nail Mills for
the manufacture of steel wire nails al
a cost of $350.00o and after the business
had proven to be failure he sold the
plan to Gable and O'Donnell for $50, 900.
This was his first great loss The
plant afterwards burned to the ground.
Next he associated himself with
Postmaster William H. Gostlin, who
came to Hammond at about that time,
in the building of the Hammond Dis
tilHng Co. The Hammond Milling Co.
and a bonded ware house were built
on the present site of the Simplex
plant. These plants all burned down.

| Towle then went into the manufac-
| ture of buggies and organized the
Hammond Buggy Co. This plant final

| $4,000.
There were innumerab1e other small
er enterprises in which Towle was in
| terested. He built the Central block,
which still stands. and conducted a
general merchandise business in it.
The postoffice was also located in this
| building when Towle was postmaster.
He built the present Towle block in
which TowIe's opera house is located.
He laid out Hammond's first cemetery,
| Oak HILL and the Towle estate now
| owns this property.
He built three skating Kinks and fire
destroyed all three OF them. In the
early days there was considerable
shipping on the Calumet river and
| Towle built a nextensive system of
/ docks and dredged the river. He was
determined to make Hammond a great
city at any cost
BUILT MANY RAILROADS.
At various times he was interested
in railroad building enterprises. He
and James n. Young went out to
Kansas and promoted and built a rail
road connecting two trunk lines and
TowIe made $4,000 out of this pro-
ject when the road was finally sold
out to one of the connecting lines.
The fact is not generally known
that Towle financed and built the
Calumet Terminal railroad which was
later sold out to the Wisconsin Cen
trail He also built what was Their

over to the East Chicago authorities.
One of the three who was arrested

LET LARGE CONTRACT.

One of the largest industrial
contracts since the advent of the
Indiana Steel company has been
awarded by the American Sheet
& Tin Plate company to the
FOrter- Miller Engineering COM
pany, Hurtxie building, Pitts
burg. The contract is for sixty
furnaces of all type aud sizes
to be built in the new Gary
plant.
The contract is an important
one, and includes all the fur
naces to be used In the process
of the manufacture of the, tin
plate products. Work Is to be
started at once, and Ii is expect
ed the furnaces will be COM
pleted and ready for operation

scheme and Towle's money the city of
East Chicago was born. Towle him
self attended to the Incorporation of
the town. General Terrence is gener-
ally given the credit for the founding
of East Chicago but it was Towle's
money and his ability as a promoter
which resulted in the carrying out of
the scheme.
Towle married Miss Irene Dow of
Detroit and they had six children as
the fruit of their marriage. Three girls.
Cora. Birdie and Ida, are all dead, and
the three boys. Morton. George and
Fred, survive. Mrs. Towle died about
four years ago and since that time M.
NJ Towle's health failed rapidly.
Last fall he showed signs of losing
his mind. and it was later decided TO
! take him to LONGTIME where he could
receive the necessary care and atten-
tfon that such a patient requires. In
recent months he lost his mind and did
not recognize the members of his own
/ family.
GostIin Pay~ Tribute.
| William H. Gostlin. who was closely
| associated with him in a business way
! for years, said today: The death OF
| Towle is a personal loss to me. He
was not only the founder but the build
er of Hammond. Without Towle Ham
mond would never have been the city
| 1t is. He was the friend of hundreds
| of people in Hammond who never went
| to him in need and found his purse
closed. The conditions under which he
/ died make his demise all the sadder. II
| Is to be regretted that a man who
did so much for Hammond could not
| have retained his faculties and lived
to see the contamination of his Dreams

Chicago. Jan. lit was made per.
fectly plain TO verybody in Judge
Fakes court at the Harrison street
police station yesterday just Why
George III. Bernhammer. known pro
fessionally as George Whiting. when
he wrote that celebrated lyric classic.
My Wife's Gone to the Country"
took pains to add at the end OF his
somewhat personal announcement the
self-congrafulatory ejaculation. "Hur-
ray. Hurray."
Stsid married folk have wondered
about this a good deal. They have
the old-fashioned notion that the
country is n bad place for ones wife
when one is I'm town. They couldn't
figure out why George Was SO happy.
Well. Mrs. George, known on tho
stage as Trixie Harris. is back in Chi
cago. That explains it all What she
did to George in Judge Fakes court
yesterday was a good aud sufficient
plenty for his wishing she had stayed
in the country all the rest Of her life
George FIess with Erma.
1t may be added that. now that Mrs
George is back. George himself has
gone. He has gone and with him a
young woman named Erma. Mrs.
George doesn't know where George
and Erma have gone. but she IL moral
ly certain they haven't gone to the
country. She thinks they are In New
York.
When Mrs. Bernhammer left home
for the country last summer Bernham-
mer grasped q pen and in q frenzy OF
joy indited the following immortal
immortal lines:
My wife's gone to the country,
Murray, Murray.
She thought 1t best: I need q rest:
That's why she went away.
She took her children with her.
Murray. Murray!
don't care what becomes OF me.
My wife's gone away.
Apparently, George didn't One Of
his first acts no describes himself a.
wollows:
He went into the parlor and tore down
from the wall
A sign that read God Bless our Home"
and threw it In the hall.
Also, he confesses:
He called on pretty Mollie. . girl he
used to know,
The servant said, "She left the house
about an hour ago.
But il you'll leave your name. sir. or
write little note,
I'll give it to her when she comes" and
this Is what he wrote:
Whereupon he wrote. My wife's
gone to the country" etc.

Shoppers in the vicinity of Second avenue and Main street yeterday af- ternoon were somewhat surprised to see an attractively gowned young lady ly writing in small book and us ing her knee as desk.
 Investigation proved that the young lady was one of the energetic candi- dates in the contest for the Graphic trips and securing a subscription on the street with no convenient place to write the receipt for the subscriber she had utilized the curb. stone as a business office for the time being. While the Graphic man was watching her write the receipt, which meant several thousand votes, a number of friends of the lady in question saun- tered up intending on seeing what their fair friend was about When they saw she had her book out and inquired why she was sitting on the curb they also got busy with their purses and check books with the re- suit that before the candidate got to her feet she had secured several sub ,scriptions which represented a good many thousand votes.
 During the time the lady was seat ed on the curb there was an interest ed crowd of lady shoppers and busi- ness men watching her write receipts and there is no question but that she received good campaign advertising.
 Contest Rolls Along.
 The contest is rolling along towards the end when the votes will be count ed for the last time and the winners announced. All in the race are busy and are out after the elusive vote and subscription.
 The standings of the candidates are increasing by leaps and bounds, one

 These ladies names appeared for ,tac first time Tuesday morning anl now they have several thousands of votes to their credit.
