No great effort was made for q
proper celebration Of the national
anniversary in Jasper-but . good
time was provided for all who love
a sylvan retreat in the woods, with
sweet harmony OF music, and q
good dancing floor, and the enjoy
ment Of as pretty body OF water
towering about 10 acres as can be
found in Indiana. 1t was the pub
lie opening Of Lake Calumet as q
picnic resort by its owners. The
company has leased for term OF
years ten acres of forest, reaching
the highway west Of the lake, and
as it is on gradually sloping hill,
liz will be an ideal place for large
gatherings and public speakings.
III is about mile north OF the court
house.
The dancing pavilion is a sub
stantial frame building about 6O by
IS feet extending over the waters OF
the lake, and covered with q metal
roof, so in case OF a rain it would
not interfere with dancing after get
ting there. Festooned with bunt-
ling and flags it presented hand
some appearance.
On the lake there is a boat twelve
feet wide by twenty-five feet long,
propelled by two large side wheels.
and capable of carrying 20 or 80
people at trip. An island and in
let at the east end Of the lake is
called the PHILIPPINES, though the
harbor is not yet as good a one as
in Dewey's capture. The trip is
made from q landing near the dane
ing floor to the PHILIPPINES and re-
turn, and on Wednesday the craft
was commanded by Capt. Mat.
Schmitt, with purser Albert unch
as second; Kunkel and Hettich en-
gineers, and Knapp as greaser,
while some young man acted as
signal blower on a tin horn, to
avoid collisions. The boat was we'll
patronized and furnished q pleas
ant cool ride. Half a dozen skiffs
are also on the lake, and when they
were all out at once, with flags and
horns, and gaily dressed ladies, 1t
presented pretty scene.
The lake has received two sup
plies Of fish from the U. 5. fish
commission, and it is said the little
fellows are doing finely and by next
year will be good catches. The
Commission will furnish 10000
more spawn next week, Of perch,
bass and trout.
Hacks ran between the town and
lake all day, and till late at night
and the young people enjoyed the
outing.

The Kansas City Convention.

The gold bug marplots and trail
tors, led by Dave Hill Of NewYork,
succeeded in their efforts to get the
Kansas City Convention in SQUAD
BILE, which will probably result in a
split in the party, and the trium-
plant election Of Nc Kinley in Nov.

posed by Bryan's friends that was
the object Of Hill in getting himself

In view Of the alleged histories"
by ambitious takers at meetings on
the 4th,-the following from the
Indianapolis Sentinel is pertinent;
"We regret to note that some OF
our contemporaries which are boom
ing the Fourth Of July historical
celebrations have revived the explo-
ded theory that Vincennes was es-
tablished in 1902. There is not a
particle ofhistorical authority for the
statement. 1t was founded origi-
nally on conjecture, and has been
completely disposed OF by documen-
tary evidence. 1t has been shown
that Judge Law, and other early
writer's who fixed the date 1902 were
confusing post Vincennes with a
post at the mouth OF Inc Ohio river
at the site Of Cairo, Ill. The con-
temporary documents have very full
accounts of all the French establish
ments in the western country, but in
meme of them is there any mention
Of any post at vincennes for quar-
ter Of a century after 1902. The
original order for the establishment
Of the post has been found in the
French archives OF marine, and is
dated September, 1926. This illus
trates the evil Of historical celebra-
tons on hurrah basis. They re-
suit in work hastily prepared for the
occasion and frequently erroneous,
The teaching Of history is valuable
thing in its way, and for the same
reasons the teaching Of history tina,
is incorrect is damaging to evtry
body"

Ellis Clark Dead.


Ellis Clark, a well known citizen of
this city, died yesterday afternoon
about one thirty. He was thirty-1ve
years of age and leaves a wife and six
children. The Oldest is about nine
years old, the youngest being
born yesterday morning The husband
passed away a few hours later. An
effort was made to keep the sad news
from the wife, but failed. Mrs. Clark
is in very critical condition and this
with the death of her husband makes
it most sad case, in which the be-
reaved family and friends have the
sympathy Of the entire community.
Mr. Clark was only taken sick last
Wednesday with pneumonia, and his
sudden death was caused by his weak
physical condition, caused by sickness
some years ago, in which it became
necessary to perform an operation, re-
moving six ribs and one lung, and ow-
ing to this and the disease, helped to
hasten his end. He had many friends
and was the late Democratic nominee
for city marshal last spring, and made
a very creditable run. He was good
citizen and will be missed in this city.
He was always staunch Democrat and
very willing worker for his party.
The funeral will take place Wednesday
from st. Mary's church at nine o'clock.
The interment will be in st. Mary's
cemetry.
A young child of Chas. Schuback, of
