GARY NOW IN A HURRY
after the Horse Gets Out
in the Oats the Gate is
Kept Closed. :"

The bad fires of Sunday and Monday
have spurred the city officials of Gary
to action, and yesterday Mayor Knots
teIephoned to the company from which
the city recently purchased two chemi-
cal outfits and asked them to rush the
order to Gary as soon as possible.
The chemical engines were accord
ingly shipped by express at once and
they arrived in Gary today The pres
sure of the chemical engines is suffi-
cient to throw the liquid to the roof
of three-story dwelling, and this is
thought to be all that will be re-
quired in Gary for the time being.
1t is said that one-half of the fires
which have occurred in Gary recently
could have been extinguished with
these outfits If they had been on hand.
The chemical outfits are not claimed
to be effective after a fire has made
any great amount of Roadway, but
they are effective If a fire is discovered
at its inception.
To Extend Water Mains.
William Luscombe of the Gary Heat,
Light & Water company. said that the
water mains are now being laid south
of the Wabash tracks and soon all of
the territory between the Wabash and
Michigan Central railroads will be pro-
| tected.
| He said that owing to the fact that
| the sewers will not be completed I'M
| til the first of September the water
mains will not be extended to the en-
tire south side until the middle of Sep
TENDER.
He says that 1t would be unwise to
/ put the water in before the sewers are
laid, for there would be no way of TAX
ing care of the surplus water and it
would accumulate on the surface OF
the grounl and cause disease.

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS.

ST. Louis, Mo, Aug. 4.-The annual
national convention of the knights of
Columbus, one of the largest and most
representative organizations of Cath
olics. in America, began in this city to-
day with an attendance of several
thousand delegates and visitors. Prior
to assembling for the opening of the
convention the delegates marched to
the Cathedral, where pontifcial high
mass was celebrated by Bishop Burke
of St Joseph. Archbishop Glennon
presided and preached the sermon. The
business sessions of the convention
will continue until Friday.

Matter of Insurance on South Side
Also Occupies the Attention
of the Body.

The Gary Real Estate board held a
feast in the clubrooms of the Gary
Commercial club in the Gary hotel yes
terday afternoon, and the meeting was
great success. Since William Fitz-
gerald has become president of the or
ganization the board has been taking
up matters of public interest, and so
great is the interest in these sub
jects that the real estate board prom
ises to become big factor in the de-
velopment Of the city.
The luncheon which was served was
excellent and the members enjoyed
themselves in a social session before
the business of the organization was
taken up.
The matter of street Improvements
was taken up and the fact that in
many cases in Gary the assessments
for Improvements has exceeded the
value of the property improved. was
brought out.
Committee Is Appointed.
One of the matters which the real
estate board will take up in the future
will be that of making recommenda-
tions regarding these improvements.
A committee, consisting of Walter S.
Ross, Harry King and c. Jack Ward
was appointed to take up these mat
tiers of Improvements and report to
the board on the subject.
| They will report as TO the necessity
value and cost of all improvements
and the board will take up their report

made of all existing improvements SC

data upon which to base their action

The Golden Jubilee Celebration-the
celebration of the 50th anniversary of
the formation of the Lake County Fair
at Crown Points near at hand. The
finishing touches are being put Oh by
the management, and they are willing
to now go on record with the statement
that this celebration will be the grand
est thing of the kind ever brought to-
gether in Northern Indiana.
AS the gates swing open on Aug. is
the Lake County Fair will have reached
its 5Oth year of existence. 1t has
weathered through this long period-tt
has had its ups and downs as it were
1t has met reverses and enjoyed pros
perity, especially in the latter years. 1t
has, comparatively speaking, grown
from a little acorn to huge oak 1t
has made a long, hard fight with many
obstacles to overcome, yet the Lake
County Fair came out winner when
scores of others died and are forgotten.
For this reason, why not celebrate this
half century birthday In the most fit
ting style?
Entertainment To BE Doubled.
The management of the Golden Ju-
bilee Fair, feeling that extra effort
!
have to say the least, doubled the en-
tertainment for this great celebration
In fact it energies from the beaten
paths of the old fashioned county fair
into grand avenue of startling sensa-
lions and high class stock show.
/ The breeders of this section are also
| filled with the Golden Jubilee spirit and
promise one of the greatest displays of
stock ever shown outside of the big
stock shows. The proud Clydesdale and
the Percherons will be there lighting
for supremacy; the poultry show will
| be a crowning feature; the Herefords,
Shorthorns, Holsteins, Jerseys, etc, will
represent this part of the stock show
in great numbers. Though yet two
weeks away it is safe to say every
available stall and pen will be crowded
to its capacity. The Floral hall for the
ladies will also be dressed in Golden
Jubilee style, and women's fancy handi-
work in large numbers will be on exhi-
bition
Fair Continues For Four Days.
The fair will continue four days and
three nights-commenci Wednesday.
The grounds will be deliberately dec
Grated with electric lights. The great
est feature will be the night show The
management has expended nearly $4,000
in special free attractions, including

There were men who in 1896 thought
their business was jeopardized by a

men in the last twelve years have

under Republican rule, can only be

Bryan's Appeal to Conscience.


LF'rom speech at Indianapolis
This question should be settled now
We cannot afford to bequeath it as a
legacy of woe to a succeeding genera
ton. The conscience of the people is
already awakened, and the conscience
is the most potent force of which man
has knowledge. Where law makes one
righteous. conscience controls a hun
dred; where one is kept from wrong
doing by fear of prison doors, thou
sand are restrained by those invisible
walls which conscience rears about us
barriers which are stronger than
walls of granite 1t is upon the CON
science that human institutions rest
and without a stirring of the conscience
no great reform is possible. To a ma
tional conscience already aroused we
appeal. with the pledge that a Demo
cratic victory will mean the ringing out
of industrial despotism and the ringing
in of new era in which business will
be built upon its merits and in which
men will succeed, not in proportion to
the coercion they may be able to prae
tice, but IN proportion to their industry
their ability and their fidelity.

The City Clerkship regulation, as exposed
in City Council meeting Tuesday evening,
offers a splendid opportunity for a thorough
investigation Of City affairs. For a long
time it has been common rumor that our
city government is corrupt, one person it is
reported, haYing alleged that Camden and
Woodbury. are the most corrupt municipali-
ties in New Jersey. The city financial re-
ports for the year 1907 have not yet been
audited and advertised as required by law
it is known that many thousand dollars
have long been due the city on account of
paving; for two years the kind of financial
report the law requires has not been made
by the Board of Education. We seem to be
drifting along at loose ends, spending thous-
ands in improvement Of private property,
but not seeing to it that the Treasury is re-
imbursed.
There is law on the statute books that
thorough investigation Of municipal affairs
may be made by Supreme Court Judge on
petition OF twenty-five taxpayers Ii cor
porations seeking contracts here are held up
and made to deliver, the people pay; if ac-
counts are loosely kept, the people pay; if
our city has the name of being corrupt, the
city suffers.
Councilmen know what general rumor is,
and now that the year is about closing and
as some old members are going out and new
ones coming in, and one department.
is to be examined, we suggest thor
ough investigation ought to be made-not
by anvbody's friends, but by expert men
who go to the bottom and bring up what
they find.
Let Woodbury. start 1909 with clean bill
of municipal health.
