Ties Up Couple From
Sucker State.

1t was case of IF we can't get
married today we'll have to put it off
for an indefinite time" and so Judge
Prest very accommodatingly tied the
knot. The groom, Max F. Goede. is
a resident of Forest Park. while the
bride, Pearl R. Mahan. is from Joliet.
They both had heard of Judge Prest and
came to him to be married, thinking
that they could get their license here.
The Judge looked over his spectacles
and seeing the stunning bride, Tipped
the ashes from his cigar and asked for
the license. From the answer that he
received from the prospective groom,
Judge Prest realized that it was his
first marriage in Lake county, and in
kind words he gave the instructions as
to how to procure the necessary papers
An automobile was secured and the
couple taken to Crown Point They
came back in a short time and Judge
Prest completed the ceremony.

GOES INTO BUSINESS
Franklin Blackburn Gets
Stock in Hammond
Boiler Works.

Franklin Blackburn, the son of Joel
S. Blackmun. a local real estate dealer,
has purchased a one-half interest in
the Hammond boiler works and at a
recent meeting of the directors was
elected secretary and treasurer of the
company, while W. c. McEwen, for
merly in partnership with Oscar F.
Broms, who died, is now president of
the company.
There were one hundred shares of
the stock and Mr. Blaekmun purchased
fifty of them. The company is capital
lied at $4,000 and is engaged in the
business of making boilers. tanks sheet
metal smoke stacks and general repair
work
BY the agreement of the two owners
of the Hammond Boiler works Mr..
McEwen will have charge of the plant
and the getting out of the work while
Mr.. Blackmun will be in charge of the
office and will solicit new business.
Does Big Business.
The plant of the Hammond Boiler
works is located at Wilcox street and
the Calumet river and is one of the
smaller industries of the city which
has been growing rapidly and has with
StO0d the recent nara times surprising
ly well.
At the present time there are ten
men employed by the company and it
Is expected that the plant will be in
creased in size as the business de-
velops. Several of the local manu-
featuring companies of this city have
all of their repair work done by this
concern:
Mr.. Franklin Blackmun is well and
favorably known in this city where he
has been living for the past eighteen
years. He is well equipped with col
legiate and business education for the
work he has undertaken and his sue
cess in his new undertaking is a fore
gone conclusion.

HOLDS BRYAN FOE
Of LABOR UNIONS
Union Labor Man Asks Per
tinent Question Regard
ing Bryan's Paper.
cOMMONER HAS NO LABEL
Reason Why He Barred It From His
Pages Because of Southern
Democratic States.

More evidence of William Jennings
Bryan's hypocrisy in his attitude to-
ward organized labor was made public
yesterday through the republican ma
tional committee by A c.. Rankin, an
honorary member of the Iron Molders
union and former treasurer of the Fed
Grafton of Trade and Labor unions M.
Rankin calls attention to the efusal of
the candidate to give his journal, the
Commoner, a union label. and points out
the trickery of phraseology of the
democratic anti-inj junction plank, which
gives workingmen no protection not
enjoyed at present.
Union men, why does not Mr.. Bryan
print the union label on his paper, the
Commoner?' demands Mr.. Rankin.
He has been requested by resolution
of various unions to do so, and has not
given to the public his reason for re-
fusing to do so. There must be some
overpowering reason for his not grant
ing the unions this simple and fair
recognition of their cause. Practically
all the newspapers in the country that
employ union printers have the union
label conspicuously displayed. But
you will look in vain for the union
label on the Commoner. even on a sim
gle advertisement in it.
Sees Reason In the South.
No union man need be deceived as
to why Bryan barred the union Label
from the pages of his paper. He has
152 electoral votes chalked up on his
blackboards from the black or solid
democratic states in the south. The
Commoner has a large circulation al
over the south. In these southern
democratic states few labor laws have
been passed. Wealthy employers ir
| these states are extremely hostile tc
| labor unions and are doing all they
| can to prevent the organization Of
unions and to stamp out those now or.
ganized. Mr.. Bryan fears to print the
union label at the head of his editoria
| columns lest it would mean unfor
| givable affront to the anti-unicn senti
ment that prevails in the controlling
democratic element all over the south
ern states

SMOKER WAS A
BIG SUCCESS
Chopin. Hall Filled With
Clubmen Who Have
a Good Time.
FUN IS FAST AND FURIOUS
Amateurs Do Some Boxing Stunts
That Keep The Audience
Entertained.

The smoker given under the auspices
of the Young Mems Republican club,
in Chopin hall, was a great success.
Several hundred good republicans spent
the evening in the hall, being enter
tained by the singing, jigging and the
three boxing contests which were put
on during the evening.
Refreshments were served from lit
tie room just off the hall, and consisted
of roast beef sandwiches, celery, pick
les, crackers and coffee.
While the hall began to fill with re-
publicans as early as s o'clock in the
evening it was o'clock before the en-
tertainment began. "Scrubby' Tuttle
gave an exhibition of his jigging, which
was greatly appreciated by the crowd.
Fun Is Plentiful.
r. E. CARRIER sang two solos and was
encored repeatedly. DR.. j. A. Graham
sang several barrack room ditties and
made great hit with the boys. The
affair was an informal one and it was
anything to keep the fun going. Fred
Friedley made a splendid political
speech and was cheered to the echo
when he said that he had known Jim
Watson for % years and that he never
knew of single act of his that was
unfriendly to labor.
Ben Bell favored the company with
his matchless rendering of his own
poetical composition, The Grand Calu
met" During the evening band was
secured by Harvey Godfrey and rend-
| cred several selections.
| Owing to the thoughtfulness of Reece
Powell the crowd was entertained with
| four two minute rounds of pretty
sparring contest as has been seen
in this city for some time.

officials and the bout was fast and
scientific After the first contest San

who WAS former village clerk in West
Hammond, has been notified that he is
one of the successful drawers In the
Rosebud land drawing in south. The
good news reached the happy family
yesterday and soon 1t spread over the
village and today Mr.. Brehem is re-

six months after that will have to take
up his residence there for Ii months
at least. This he has already decided
to do. although he will not sell his

Mr.. Brehm, who is now in the con-

WORKS TO Be STARTED
Standard Steel Car District
Will Be Humming In
a Few Days.

According TO reports from the Stand
ard Steel car district. things there are
cooked and prmed TO start the wheels
going in few days.
Several large orders have been placed
with the company some time ago and
all that is OBTAINING the company now
from carrying them out, is the fact
that they are working on the sample
cars for each Of the orders. These are
expected to be completed in few
days.
All indications point to the prospect
that the wood car shops viii start with
a hum after the election. The COM
pany has an order for ten passenger
coaches. with prospects to build ninety
more in case the first ten prove salts

Work on the model car is now in prog

indianapolis. Oct %. - Republicans
and democrats now have their ears close
to the ground listening for rumblings.
They also have straws in the air to as
certain which way the wind is blowing.
Likewise they are seeking in a dozen
different other ways to catch indica-
tfons revealing the drift"
Both parties are talking long and
loudly about favorable conditions, but
not by their words but by their man
ners shall the leaders be known and
the manner of the managers would in
dicate that Watson and Bryan are gain
ing This is strange combination
Watson and Bryan-but conditions
beneath the surface seem to reveal a
tendency towards them.
Friends Are Happy.
Friends of Watson seem to get the
most joy out of the present situation.
They admit now that Jim" was in a
bad way up to week ago, but they
insist that the drift has changed and
that he is now gaining daily. Their
manner carries conviction with it. Be
it known that these same men never
admitted before that their candidate
was not in prime condition. At all
stages of the campaign they have de-
clared that Watson was in the lead by
long odds. But their words sounded
as If they had been uttered through
a hollow. tube The ring of conviction
and sincerity was missing Now. how
ever. there is jubilaney back of the
utterances.
Fear Brewers Hurt Them.
Tom Marshalrs friends "fear''-that
is their word-that the brewers ant
liquor dealers are hurting their candi
date They still insist that Tom" i:
ali right, that he is not brewery con
trolled and that he would make th'
best governor Indiana ever had. bu
they admit that the brewery backing
of Mrashal has hurt him and that con
tinued activity on the part of the Ii
quor dealers is likely yet to lick him.
The Bryan drift, while delighting th'
democrats. is not worrying the repub
licans. The latter insist that the suf
ficient gains for The Commoner t
carry the state are impossible. The.

FOOTBALL PLAYER HURT
Herbert Wilhelm Tackles
Dummy With Dis
astrous Results.

Tackling dummy on the football
field proved to be disastrous to Her
bert Wilhelm of 139 Doty street, one
of the high school boys, last night
The dummy gave way, with the re-
suit that the impetus threw the boy to
the ground. causing a fracture of his
righ collar bone. While not a serious
accident it was very painful and 1t
was a sympathetic bunch of football
players who helped the injured lad to
DR.. Groman's office, where the bone
was set.
His fracture had hardly been taken
care of when Rulo Minard came in.
chaperoned by another bunch of boys,
who sympathized with him for slfe hit
sprain that he sustained in his wrist
on the ball field.
