FOR GARFIELD PARK
BOARD OF WORKS ASKS AUTHORITY
TO PURCHASE TEN ACRES.
To BE Used as an Entrance to Gar
field Park-Specia1 Meeting
of Council.

At the special meeting of the Council last
night a communication was received from
the Board of Works asking for authority
to purchase ten acres of ground for an en-
trance to Garfield Park from c. f. Balls at
1900. 1t is proposed to build a broad drive
way from Shelby street into the east side
of the park 1t is understood if this is done
the street car company will continue the
Shelby-street line down to that point. Coun-
Gilman knight has been active in urging
this proposition and recently headed large
delegation of petitioners that called on the
board to urge that the ground for an en-
trance be purchased.
An ordinance appropriating $500 to the use
of the Board of Safety was passed. The
money is to be used for paying for meals
for prisoners at the station house.
Mr.. Little introduced a new ordinance re-
curing secondhand dealers to procure an
annual license to- conduct their business at
a fee of $25 a year a penalty of 800 is at
tached for failing to procure such a license.
Mr.. Higgins introduced an ordinance estah-
fishing a name for the first street south of
Palmer street from Meridian to Union
street. 1t is to be known as Karcher street
The ordinance requiring the j., M. & /.
road to station fiagman at the Raymond
street crossing was passed. Mr.. Higgins,
chairman of the committee that had the
measure in charge, wished to have the
passage of the ordinance delayed, as the
representative of the company who called
on Mr.. Higgins represented that expert
ments were being made with alarm bells
and asked that few weeks time be given
the company in which to thoroughly test
the device. Mr. Higgins voted for tbs. ordi-
nance when Mr.. Knight called it up saying
that he had simply promised the conpany's
representative to ask for delay. as he re-
garded the request as reasonable.

ODD FELLOWS PICNIC.
The Annual Event Took Place at Gar
field Park Yesterday.

Several hundred Odd Fellows took their
families and friends to Garfield Park yes
terday for the annual picnic Some made
themselves comfortable in green shady
places on the hill, where pleasant breeze
was blowing. while the more enthusiastic
gathered about the track, where the field
sports were held. An extensive programme
had been prepared, and from early in the
morning when the first members of the or
der began to arrive until late last night
when the younger element had finished
dancing all had a good time. The When
band furnished music and two teams played
a game of ball in the afternoon Fifteen
field events filled the greater part of the
afternoon. Everything from the hundred
yard dash to the chase for the creased pig
and the watermelon contest was remem-
bered. The baby show brought several
entries, and the greatest disappointments
OF the day were to some of the proud
mothers whose babies failed to rank as high
BILE exception of the ladies' throwing match
created more amusement than any of the
afternoon was the boys scramble shoe race
for sons of Odd Fellows. Each boy who
entered removed and unlaced his shoes to
the last holes. The shoes were then col
lected and thrown promiscuously in a pile
lined up one hundred feet away and al
lowed to make a dash for their shoes Such
a scramble is seldom seen. 1t was worse
than football game. First one boy and
then another would emerge from the pile
and begin putting on his shoes at a pace
to surprise the mothers who had made per-
haps strenuous efforts to get those same
shoes on promptly earlier in the day. Homer
Harvey, who lives at the corner of Hoyt
avenue and Spruce street, was the winner
of this event and carried off a fine new cap.

STAMP ACT RULINGS.
Decisions Affecting Merchandise and
Other Brokers.

WASHINGTON, July 27.-The commits
sioner of internal revenue has held that
merchandise brokers are not required to
stamp both buyers and sellers contracts
under the new act. The original note or
memorandum of sale is alone held to be
subject to the tax, and, further, that a mere
memorandum accompanying an offer to pur-
chase is subject to the tax only when the
offer is accepted. Merchandise brokers are
held to be commercial brokers, and as such
are subject to the special tax provided for
in Section 2 of the new revenue act.
The commissioner also has held that mer-
chants, warehouse men, auctioneers and
cattle brokers who receive goods, produce
Of any kind or live stock are not commercial
brokers within the meaning Of Section of
the new revenue act and therefore are not
subject to a special tax.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, July 27.-Samuel
r. Hamill, of this city. was nominated for
Congress by the Democrats of the Fifth
district this afternoon on the first ballot,
his only opponent being Austin w. Knight,
a young lawyer of Brazil. Both John A.
wintermood and A. ]. Johnson. of Vermil-
lion county. had withdrawn in his favor.
and the supporters of Prof. John Clark
Ridpath, now editor of the Arena, in Bos-
ton. were restrained from presenting his
name by recent letter Mr.. ]. N. Pierce
had received from him. On the ballot Knight
received p votes from Clay, 16 from Putnam
and from Parke, making total of 40, to
IS for Hamill. but before the ballot was
announced the nomination was made unani-
nous on motion of p. T. Luther of Clay
county. Former Governor Matthews was
chairman of the convention and made
short speech, in which he said it was the
Democratic party that had Saved the
President from his own vacillation" and
pushed forward the war. He said that the
new questions of foreign territory would
not relegate to obscurity the great domestic
question. The silver question would not be
settled until by an untrarmeled decision by
the people, which, he said, was not rem
dered in 1896 by reason of intimidation and
corruption. He eulogized Bryan as a leader
in peace and in war; and when he spoke of
him as the leader in 1900 there was the
heartiest applause of the day.
The platform reaffirmed the national plat
form of 1896 and the state platform of this
year. After it's adoption Duncan Puett, of
Parke county, read the long letter from
DIR. Ridpath in which he insisted his name
should not be presented and urged that
Populists and all others vote for the cam
didate of the convention. While waiting for
Mr.. Hamill the convention was addressed
briefly by Edwin Taylor, of Evansville,
candidate for the Appellate Court. and
former Congressman c. C, Matson, of
Greencastle Mr.. Hamill made a brief
speech. The candidate was born in Sullivan
county, is counted as one of the younger
men in the party, is successful lawyer
and for many years was the law partner of

DRILL AND GOSSIP
A FavOrite Pastime at Camp Mount
YESTERDAY.


Yesterday was dull day at Camp Mount.
Nothing was done except drill and gossip
about the probable time the regiment would
move to the front There is, despite rumors
to the contrary no one in camp who has
the faintest idea as to the actual time of
departure or where the regiment will go.
Some time ago Jacksonville was mentioned
as the probable destination of the regiment.
Since that time there have been no develop
ments, so far as the War Department is
concerned. The Washington authorities
control the movements of the regiments abb
solutely, and it is impossible for any of the
officers in authority in the regiment to fore
cast their action.
Chaplain Biederwolf yesterday reported all
the money raised for the purchase of the
new assembly tent for the regiment. The
fun,,s have been raised by subscriptions
froI.l the several towns which sent COM
panies TO the regiment. and the response to
the requests of the chaplain for the money
has been both prompt and liberal The tent
will not be erected in Camp Mount. AS soon
as the camp has been arranged under cam
vas the line officers will have mess by them
selves. At present all hands eat together,
except the staff officers.

No More LimbIess Veterans.
Chicago TrihIlna

One of the most remarkable facts to be
noted in connection with the effects of the
new small caliber bullets is the almost total
absence of cases requiring amputation.
The heaps Of severed limbs that formed a
horrible feature Of the surgeons quarters
during the civil war will not appear in the
present war. Out of ga wounded men who
have been brought to New York on the
Olivette not one had to undergo amputa-
ton. The Mauser bullets make dreadful
gaping flesh wounds at close range. but at
ordinary range they either kill or leave a
comparatively slight wound. During the
civil war the death rate in cases of wounds
perforating the abdominal cavity was near
ly 80 per cent. One of the surgeons in
charge of the men wounded at Santiago
says the percentage of fatalities from this
cause will be less than 3 per cent. in the
present war. There is no counting on a
Mauser bullet 1t may pass through one
man and scarcely injure him, yet 1t may
hideously mutilate the man next to him.
On the whole, however, the small caliber
rifle bullets are more humane than the big
musket bullets used in the civil war.

what MIR. Emory Smith said.

WASHINGTON, July 27--The attention of
Postmaster General Emory Smith was
called to-day to a dispatch in which it was
said that correspondent of a Russian
paper remarked to him that THE rumor of
an Anglo-American understanding had of
Tended old friends and that the postmas-
ter general made the following reply: I'VE
are sure that old friends will not betray
tray them. AS for England the majority
here share your sentiments towards her."
respondent had completely misunderstood
what he said. The gentleman both spoke
and understood English very poorly and this
of what was said. The postmaster general
in conversation indicated that the United
States desired the friendship of Russia and
felt friendly to Russia, but he did not go
into any further discussion of the question.
