republicans are beginning to take con-
siderable interest in the matter of
whom shall be the party nominee this

Considerable interest has been shown
among the politicians in the announce
ment that Charles Arthur Carlisle of
South Bend may be candidate for the
nomination for governor. He Is well
known in business circles throughout
the state. and it is pointed out that
this fould give him wide and effective
strength. He is counted as one of the
most substantial republicans in the
state, and leaders Of the party are say
ing that he would be strong candi-
date.
The popularity of Carlisle. it Is
pointed out by some of his friends, Is
shown by the fact that this is the third
time that he has been urged to take the
nomination for governor. Several

date in two campaigns, but he turned

Hammond. which is coming to the
front as city of churches, will with
in reasonable time have a temple for
the Reform Jewish worshipers. The
congregation will secure a suitable site
with a view of building a temple on 1t.
costing in the neighborhood of $4,000.
The building lot on Rimbach avenue,
west of Ann street owned by the Ham
mond Womans club. is looked upon
with favor by many members of the
congregation, but if this is not availa-
BILE an effort will be made to find an
other site. which is centrally located.
There will be no question about
financing the project, as the congrega-
ton is in earnest, and quite a number
of it's members are well-to-do.
At the present time the congregation
has about thirty families. but with the
completion of the synagogue. 1t is ex-
pected that it will be increased by 9TH
er families located in the surrounding
cities.
The reform Jewish people now main
tain a regular Sunday school which is
conducted at weis hall. Here the con-
gregation also gathers to worship on
holidays and special occasions.
The building OF a temple has been
planned long time. At hrst II was
thought best to purchase lot and erect
merely small building. sufficiently
~ large enough for the present, but
upon consideration, it was decided
to build a temple large enough to meet
the demands of the region for a long
time to come.

TO BE CITY
BEAUTIFUL

Hammond's business district on Hoh-
man street from Michigan avenue
south to Douglas street, and on. State
street.. from SohT street west 10 Morton
court, IS TO have the ornamental lamp
post system. provided the property
owners on these thoroughfares ap-
prove the bids for the installation to
be received by the board of public
works
In order to bring the agitation for
this improved lighting system to a
focus the board of public works decid-
ed to ask for bids on 17S ornamental
iron five clustered posts. Taking in
consideration the narrowness of the
streets, the board and those who are
favoring the lighting system decided to
ask for as thin a pole as possible, and
one that does not require much space.
These poles are to be set seventy FIVE
feet apart. the understanding being
that the city would erect and main
tain and furnish the light for four
post at each street intersection Tn
der this arrangement the business dis
trict would get twice as much light at
the city's expense than it is getting
under the present plans.
With the bids in hand the board pro-
poses to call a mass meeting of all in
terested property owners for full dis
cussion of the project. The board will
then be able to give definite figures.
and the consensus OF opinion of prop
erty owners can be had.
In the event the system is adopted.
the property owners on state street
propose TO widen their sidewalks on
each side of the street between Hoh-
man street and oakley avenue, or pos
sibly as far east as Sohl street
