 The picture. which. of course, treats of a religious subject, is painted on can vas some seven feet in height by five feet wide.

 When the light is turned out, a trans formation takes place The original pic ture disappears, and an entirely new sub iect takes it's place. Instead of the Sa- viour appealing to his flock appears the scene of the oruciixion. Tn the center oi the canvas stands the Cross of Mount Calvary as 1t was after the great trag- edy. As the eyes got accustomed to the absence of light the figure of Mary weep ing apears. and on the opposite side a Roman centurion with his spear. Bit by bit the canvas fills up until quite a score of figures may be clearly discerned. while the cross and tho nanimate Saviour stand out bodly against the eastern sky, where the dawn is just breaking. II is possible soon to count the uplifted hands of the waiting crowd in the middle dls- tance

EDDIE SAYS AMERICAN COLLECTORS ARE BEST

They are in- spired by high ideals genuine artistic en- thusiasm, and d rare sense of discrimna- ton. l was simply amazed at the devel- opment which has taken place during the past decade. It was only a few years ago that America possessed only handful of Rembrandts Now there are nearly a hundred. l saw four genuine Rafaes and any number of superb Nandycks. The most inspiring feature of the enthusiasm Of American collectors Is their intention of beaueathng their treasures to the na- ton Tn nearly every case, particularly in that of MT.

SPEEDERS HAVE
NOW REFORMED

That the war against automobile
speeders has been effective is shown
by the fact that during the past
month not an arrest has been made by
the Hammond police.
Before the speed signs were placed
on all roads leading into the city auto
mobile speeders paid attention to
the uniform law of eight miles an
hour in the city limits, and instead
burned up the thoroughfares at a
high rate of speed
Captain Hanlon and his trusty mo-
torcycle then began a crusade and on
the first Sunday rounded up total
of twelve automobilists. Most of those
arrested were Illinois people and when
1t became known among themselves
that they could not violate the Indi-
ana speed law they greatly reduced
their speed and result the police
are having no trouble whatever. Even
IN Hammond the auto owners are TAX
ing precautions and are living up to
the eight hour speed law.

Hundreds from This LOCAL.
ty Saw 1912 Republican
National Convention and
Agree It's Like Will Never
Be Seen Again.

If you have any unused tickets to
the 1912 republican national conven-
ton treasure them very highly because
four years hence they may come in
handy.
They will, if the experience of DR.. H.
E. Sharrer. of Hammond counts for
anything. Unable to dig up a 1912
ticket, the nervy doctor grew desper-
ate and in his peregrinations stumbled
upon a 1908 convention ticket With
the pastehoard in his vest pocket and
do-or-die air. Sharrer arrived at the
Coliseum and the doorkeeper tore off
the stub and bowed the Hammond man
into the hall. The ticket was for a
rear seat. but in less than twenty min
utes DIR. Sharrer had wormed his way
onto the speakers platform, not far
from Senator Root. Had the conven-
ton lasted a few minutes longer DR..
Sharrer would probably have been in
the speakers box nominating some
body for second vice president
1t Is estimated that fully one thous-
and Lake county people attended the
sessions 1T one time or another Pete
Lyons sat as a delegate in the Texas
delegation. DIR. T. w. Oberlin had the
novel experience of being ordered into
the Coliseum by bHrly cop because he
was blocking up alley door way.

ty-first street
The complaint relates that the In

large tract of land and carried forward
the erection and construction of it's
said plant on said tract looking toward
the general consummation of a com
plete and general plan for the erection
and construction of a large steel mill.
The land on which the plant is To-
Gated is said to be worth $4,000. an
acre. II is related that the dismember-
ment OF the plant would be of incalcu-
liable damage.
1t is related that the plant cost
$500, 600 and that If One Hundred and
Forty-frst street were to be opened
1t would damage the company to the
extent of 100000.
1t states that a remonstrance was
fled June 10, 1912. and that the remon-
STRANGE of the company was overruled

set for trial Boyer appeared in court
with no counsel and asked for change
of venue to another township and the
Justice sent the case to Judge Emanuel
at Cedar Lake, which was tried in the
afternoon. Mr.. Boyer's own statement
and that of Ave witnesses convicted
him. The state was represented by
Attorney j. w. Belshaw. The defend
ant was found guilty and fined s25.

amounted to over $50, which amount he
did not have. The judges heart soft
