Attorney Newton Hembroff, who re-

nee m Indiana Harbor. has sold his
residence at rs Carroll street to T. w
Tracey of the New York Central lines.

Indiana Harbor.
The property brought $4,000. which is
considered an exceedingly good price
for it, The house is an eight-room
frame building, with all of the modern
conveniences.
Before the death of Judge T. NJ c.
Hembron of Indiana Harbor 1t was
not thought necessary for Newton

that city. Since his demise. however

visable
Mr. and Mrs. NJ. Hover lived with
their daughter, Mrs Newton Hembroff
and it is not known what their plans
will be as result of the sale of the
Eproperty. NJ Hover is city council
man in Hammond, and should he leave

more to do with bringing a high class

SCENERY At IOWlES
IS BEING REPA|nTEO
Milwaukee Scenic Artist
Makes Scenery Look
Like New.

All of the permanent scenery in the
Towle Opera House Is being repainted
by carl Benedicki of Milwaukee and
formerly of Vienna. This will give
the stage an appearance of -newness
that will make it much more attractive.
Considering the difficulties under
which he is working, the results that
are being achieved by this skillful
Viennese are astonishing. He is able
to paint curtain folds that in the glare
of the spotlight look exactly like rich
velour.
No one would suspect that stage set
tings have names, but they have. The
center door fancy" is one of the at
tractive scenes and is painted to look
like Circassian walnut.
The chamber room is to be exceed
ingly attractive and will have the APP
pearance of being beautifully decor
ated room. The ''tamara" is a scene
which tanks either side of the stage
and is a permanent fixture.
This is the scene that has the ap-
pearance of being a beautiful curtain
of velour. Usually these curtains are
painted from scaffolding, but with the
lack of facilities in the local opera
house it was necessary for Benedicki to
lay them on the floor and paint them
there. This added to the difficulties and
made the results more remarkable.

Window decoration in Hammond has
come to mean more than the mere
throwing of goods into a window, and
that will be demonstrated when the
windows of the White Store are final
ly exposed to the view of the public.
There is real artistic ability shown
in everything that goes into the make
up of these windows. One of the fea-
lures is to be what is known as Gre
clan drapes.' something that is new to
the people of Hammond and is seen in
windows only in New York and Chi
cago.
There will be other things in these
windows that will attract attention.
and Manager Cohen says that when the
curtains are taken down and the ids
play is finally shown to the public il
will have something to talk about.

Incidentally the spring sale of goods
at the White Store is to be an event in
local mercantile circles. Every person
who makes the purchase of 81 worth
of goods is to be given a beautiful

TO MANI
Hammond Postoffice Shown
to Be a Remarkable Busi-

of February Over Preced-

At the suggestion Of the postoffce
department certain statistics have been
prepared showing the amount OF mail
that is being delivered by each car
rier in the city of Hammond.
To the ordinary observer a carriers
job is about the softest thing imagina-
ble but one carrier actually deliv-
cred 121 pounds of mail in one day.
and one of the carriers, according to
the report, delivered 1898 separate
pieces of mail in a day.
The report will probably be conclu-
sive proof to the department that the
city of Hammond is in great need of
more carriers. The average carrier
travels fourteen miles in day and one
carrier made 525 stops in a single day
These statistics will probably not
only be used by the postoffice depart
ment, but will be used to a certain
extent in re-routing the city. The fol-
