ELKS TO
HAVE AN
ELECTION


There will be an election of officers
in the Elks lodge in Hammond next
Thursday. In view of the fact that
the clubs building project has reached
its present proportions there is a
widespread sentiment in favor of the
reelection of Attorney John F. Reil-
ly.
1t is Reilly, who has been the NOV
ing spirit in the building project. I'm
der his administration of the office OF
exalted ruler the building lot has been
paid for, and the way has been paved
for the organization of a building
committee and the sale of stock.
1t seems to be the concensus of
opinion that it would not be wise to
change horses While crossing a
stream. and Reilly will probably be
elected again.
The membership of the lodge has
grown to large proportions in the past
year, and it is hoped that the new
building will be completed in another
year.

VILLAGE
ELECTION

There is a lull in the interest that is
being taken in the West Hammond
primaries and election which will be
held on March Il and April 8, rcspec-
lively.
There seems to be little activity
among the candidates for the nominal
tions. So numerous are the candidates
that the whole matter seems to be
badly confused
There is hint that some dark
horses may be run in at the last min
ute. Only the names that were put on
the primary ticket last Monday can be
voted upon unless an independent
ticket is put in the field.
Miss Virginia Brooks is said
to be framing an independent
ticket, and that she and all of her
cohorts will work for the nomination
and election OF sucf1 ticket
There is also a rumor that a Sec
ond independent ticket will be put In
the field. If this is done the whole
election will be confused that many
undesirabies are expected to squeeze
through.

ERIC LUNO
LEAVES FOR

Eric Lund, the well-known Ham
mond contractor. leaves tonight for
North Dakota, where he has a valuable
piece of farm land. When Lund was
21 years of age he got the land from

from a neighboring land owner at $40
an acre. Lund will look over the land

MYSTERY

Conflicting Testimony Re-
garding Shooting of Well
Known Hammond Saloon
keeper = Dispute Arises
Over Number of Shots.

An alarming sinking spell last even
ing and anencouraging rally today
marked the progress of the condition
of George Schroeder, the Calumet av-
enue saloonkeeper who is confined to
his bed on account of two bullet
wounds in his head and subsequent
complications which resulted.
His condition has been such that it
has not been thought advisable to dis
cuss the shooting affair with him. lie
has volunteered no information except
ing what he gave the police shortly
after midnight Of Tuesday after the
shooting. There Is still the conflicting
testimony; his, to the effect that a
footpad fired two shots with results at
him and that he fired two at his as
sailant. and the statement of Miss
Cora Sherman that she heard distinct
ly three shots and the fact that three
empty shells We're found in his re-
volver. His statement that he was
robbed of money and the fact that the
police found more than SIS and his
watch in his clothes also adds to the
complication in arriving at an explain
alton.
His popularity with host of friends
was proven last night. and today by
the large number of inquiries to his
condition and the general regret be-
cause of it. The gunshot wounds that
he received are in themselves not IA
tai, but complications owing to very
weakened constitution make his con-
dition precarious

heard the three shots, is niece of w

Washington, March 2.-The legisla-
ton upon which depends a reappor-
tsonment of the state OF Indiana into
new congressional districts is in grave
peril Unless the situation clears up
wonderfully during the next day or
two the Indiana legislature will be
spared the necessity OF passing con-
gressional reapportionment legislation
or, in other words, it will have the
opportunity, because the legislature
can not proceed intelligertly with the
task of reapportioning the state until
it receives the congressional unit from
congress.

TO COVER THE FURNITURE
cretonne Slips Are Among the Pret.
tiest Things That Can Be Used
for This Purpose.

Few women realize how pretty and
practical are furniture covers made
from cretonne and other figured
material, or more housewives would
make use OF such slips in renovating
old and worn furniture. Incidentally,
these modern slips" can be made by
woman who has had any experience
In cutting patterns. l fnd that
models for chair covers, ETC., can be
best made by cutting design from
three-cent cambric and fitting 1t
snugly with pins to the furniture.
When the exact dimensions Of each
piece are complete in cambric these
trial slips" must be unpinned and
laid on the material from which the
slips" are to be constructed.
1t Is not necessary to bind the
seams in these slips. Indeed. in a
figured fabric the effect Of such seams
is undesirable. On plain, dun-colored
fabrics life is introduced by the use
Of red or blue braid on the seams.
With figured goods, French scanning
is best. 1t makes firm and neat
finish, and obviates the use OF an
other color.
In slip covers the frame OF the
furniture Is hidden by the material.
