a man who had been standing on the
tracks watching the train approach,
suddenly dart forward. amid throw
himself in front of the train. The man
was knocked down and his head com

WATCH THE HAND
OF THE CLOCK!
200 Mark Will Be Reached
in Commercial Club Cam
paign Before Night.

The hand of the clock will be moved
forward tonight. The membership to
the Commercial club has increased to
nearly 200. SO that the hand Of the
clock will be moved to that point
New members are being signed up
every hour. and in spite of the fact
that the campaign has become a de-
sultory one rather than the organized
effort of the first few days \
This is due to the fact that the bust
ness men who are interested in it are
exceedingly busy men and cannot af-
ford to give the campaign so much of
their time as they did at first.
But they are backing the proposition
with every bit of time they can spare
4and with no small amount of money.
On Monday the date of the organiza-
ton meeting will be announced and
preparations will be made for holding
the first regular meeting.
The list of members printed yester-
day attracted lot of attention and in
dicated to a large number of people
the fact that the personnel of the club
is Of exceedingly high order The pass
ing of the 200-mark means that the
club will have s2.40o a year with which
to conduct its affairs.
This fact, taken together with the
fact that the membership will surely
reach 900 inside of another month
means that for the first time in the
history of Hammond that city will have
a real business organization that viii
represent its civic interests.
