Still a Mystery.

As far a. the Hammond police de-
-partment are concerned the taxi-cab
which was found in the Wolf river on
Indiana boulevard, last Monday morn
ing, is still a mystery. The river near
the bridge where the auto plunged to

FEAST FOR JAPANESE BOYS
Annual Day Is Made Occasion Of
Much Merrymakine-kite Flying
Is Principal oastime.

In Japan there is an annual feast
day for boys, when each house that 10
the proud possessor of male children
hangs out strings of paper carp,
which, inflated by the breeze, become
most life-like monster fish. 1t was on
this feast day that we left Yokohama
for Kamakura, once the eastern cap
ital of Japan, now merely a quiet n
tie seaside village. AS this was such
an important occasion, the whole
world made holiday; some families
sauntered along the village street In
festive attire, mere man" strutting
conceitedly in front, while his dear
little womenkind shuffled along be-
bind, chattering merrily and half-hid-
den under immense umbrellas; others,
again, hurried to the sea shore to fly
their enormous humming kites, from
which the parents appeared to derive
quite as mvch enjoyment as the chill
dren. The loud hum emitted by the
soaring kite is caused by a piece of
thin bamboo, which Is stretched
tightly across from shoulder to shout
der This taut bamboo f1lament, not
only acts as a Aeolian harp, but
bends the whole kite so that its sur
face Is concave instead of being, as
in our kites, a plane. The noise,
when some three-score or so of these
monsters are in the air at the same
time, is deafening. The Jananese kite
has no tail. but is furnished with num-
erous long streamers. Great compe-
titions are held by the owners Of the
kites, and occasionally mimic battle
will be fought in the air, the rival fac-
tions endeavoring, by means OF pow
dered glass which has been previously
worked into definite length OF the
kite strings, to saw through a rivals
string, and so bring the vanquished
kite tumbling ANONYMOUSLY to the
ground.-Mrs. Ellen Beadnell In Wide

will take on more men and teams as
fast as they can get them. This COM
pany has laid the curbing and done
the grading from Court street to the
bridge on Superior street They have
also laid the curbing on W. Superior
street for the cement paving. The
George Lowrey Company, who have
the contract for the brick paving, are
using from thirty to forty men and
taking on new men every day. This
company has made excellent progress
in the grading on Superior street
west from the bridge. Much Of the
time eight teams have been engaged
in the work of grading and the hanl-
ing of brick. In connection with the
work Of paving, the city has had
gang of twenty men and three teams
at work relaying and repairing the
water mains and sewers. This work
is not yet completed but is progress
ing rapidly.
In the work on the new school
house there has been delay owing to
the slowness of the shipments Of
steel At the present time there are
thirty men employed besides several
teams. As the work progresses, there
will be a greater demand for men
At the sugar factory, there has also
been delay owing to the slowness of
the shipments of machinery The
foundations for the machinery are
practically completed. In addition to
the charging of the factory, the work
of raising the chimney from one
hundred twenty-five feet to one hun
dred sixty feet In order to do this
it is necessary to tear it down forty
feet and raise it from that point.
Over seventy men are employed at
the factory while many more are
needed.
The building that is. going on in
the city affords much additional work.
Besides the Redman store buildings,
there are ten new houses in the pro-
cess of erection There are also a
large number of residences being re-
paired and rebuilt. The great amount
of decorating and painting in the
city is keeping the painters and paper
hangers busy.
The conduit work is finished as far
as the laying Of the tile goes. The
pulling through and the connecting
of the cables is yet to be done. An
other new industry that has been
busy is the Consolidated Light and
Power Company in wiring of houses
and store buildings for electric lights
