Volfva is coming to whack sinners in

Mr. Voliva has made good as a leader

Germs that doing a thriving bust

so hard this man. He takes his
gloves off in handling sins of the day
and with bare fists. so to speak, he
strikes right and left. Sinners in Zion

endeavored to pollute it and drag
down its standard have received the
mist scathing and merciless rebukes
at his hands. The F. B. Coik Electri-

DEMISE Of LAW
SCHOOL TAKES PLACE
Hundreds of Stockholders in Lake and
Porter Counties Lose
Their Money

He has been working like Trojan
to prevent the dissolution of the COM
pany and the dissipation of its assets
but Receiver Surprise says that here
is no hope,
ASSETS SMALL.
1T is not expected that the real estate
of the Lincoln-Jefferson College of Law
viii bring more than $4,000 cash as
there is a $4,000 mortgage on it and
the whole property will not sell for
more than $4,000. 1t represents an
investment of $4,000.
Four of the sets Of plates are tied IN
for all they are worth and will not add
to the assets of the company for the
manufacturers of them are holding
them to secure their claims against the
company.
The resident school of the Lincoln
Jefferson College of Law will be con-
tinued until the end of the term and
then some steps may be taken to per-
petuate it as Hammond institution
for It is even now paying all of It's
expenses.
Scores of letters have been received
from both resident and correspondence
students of the Calumet Institute ex-
pressing regret that the school will be
compelled to close.
CHICAGO BANKS HIT.
They claim to have benefited greatly
by the courses and many of them are
now successful men in the lines of ac-
tfvity they have taken up. This indi-
Gates that the basic idea was correct
but the management of the company
was too expansive.
Chicago banks will be hit to the
amount of s25.0O0 on loans they have
made upon $4,000 worth of leases on
students courses 1t appears that tn
stead of selling the courses that the
Calumet institute leased them. These
leases called for the payment of SO
much every month.
The fact has become generally known
that the Calumet institute has gone IN
to bankruptcy so the students who are
taking these courses under lease are
falling down on their payments. If the
courses could be continued for a while
longer much money could be realized
from this source but this seems Inn
possible. So the Chicago trust COM
panies and banks which accepted this
paper will get little or nothing on their
security.

HAMMOND
MAN DEFENDS
THE SCHOOLS.

The charge that the public schools of
the Calumet region are unsafe, as made
by Insurance Engineering, a New York
publication. is ridiculous. according to
statement by John F. Krost. presi-
dent of the Hammond school board of
education.
They are OF their Alsase.% said the
Hammond official why, only recent
IL we had the state inspector up here,
and he complimented US. saying that
ours were among the safest schools in
the state. Every one of our schools is
insured for so per cent of its value,
and that figure speaks for itself what
the fire insurance companies think of
our fire protection. All are equipped
with fre-escapes and the children are
well drilled. I do not know what the
object of the New York publication is
in making such sweeping charges to
the effect that nearly all schools in the
middle west are fire traps"

DID HAMMOND
CROOKS VISIT
RENSSELAER,

Rensselaer, is wondering whether it
was paid visit on Tuesday night by
the same two fellows who robbed the
Mormon station In Hammond of $S0
The Hammond Monon office notified it's
various offices along the line to be on
the lookout for two fellows who might
hit any town as blind passengers. 1t
seems two men who boarded the $50
south bound Monon at South Hammond
and riding on the roof of the cars, got
off at Rensselaer,. At any rate the
town marshal tipped off by the Ham
mond office was looking for them and
instructed the men at the Rensselaer,
light plant to keep the street lights
burning all night. About one o'clock
two masked men appeared at the light
ing plant and ordered the engineer
there to shut off the street lights which
he did. having been forced to do so at
the point of a gun. This set the Rers-
selaer people to wondering whether
somebody played a joke on the town. or
whether they had to deal with des-
peradoes.

PERSEVERANCE,
REWARDS OIL
PROSPECTOR

Fred Mott. Jr.. who has Broadway
Jones" backed on the boards for looks
arrived in Hammond from Chelsea
Okla. where he has been interested in
the properties of the Hammond OIL Co.
which recently opened up a well with
$50 barrels of natural flow
There is great excitement in Chelsea
over the development OF the new well
that is owned by the Hammond syndi-
cate. The papers of that section are
full of the reports concerning it.
1t appears that the Hammond and
Crown Point members of the syndicate
called off the drillers after they had
gone 100 feet without striking oil.
Louis Holman. however. had faith in
the well and had II dug 20 feet deeper,
twas then that OIL was struck.
The leases that the Hammond syndi-
cate has on the property will make an
enormous sum of money for them all
However. the credit for the find belongs
TO Louis Holman.
Fred Mott. Jr., has but little to say
about the new well and the prospects
of the new company except to admit
that the prospects are very bright He
says that after all there is no place like
Hammond in which to live.
Iftd MOlt, ST.. SAID that the Work
of erecting tanks to take care of the
flow of oil is progressing rapidly. Four
ESQ barrel thanks have been taken TO
the fields and a 1000 barrel tank is in
the process of construction
T. E. Bell and w. j. McAleer went
to Chelsea today to look over their in
terests in the syndicate. Fred Mott
Sr.. and W Fl. Gostin, Sr.. were both
there last week

NO ICE FAMINE
IN REGION.

Ice will be higher in many parts of
the United States this summer on ac-
count of the mild winter, but in the
Calumet region the price will remain
at $3.50 a tbn. This announcement
was made yesterday by John S. Field
chairman of the board of directors of
the Consumers company, which con-
trolls the prices in Chicago and vicinity.
Reports have been received that ice
is selling for s12 ton in Keokuk, Ia.
and that the price in other cities has
been materially advanced
1t is explained that the local supply
has been little affected by the mild
winter because the Wisconsin crop was
almost normal. There is much artificial
ice sold in here also, and the weather
has no effect on this commodity.
