BAD FIRE
MENACES
The CITY
Forest Blaze Near Gary Re
suits in Splendid Work or
Immense Damage Would
Have Been Done to Many
Buildings.

The worst forest fire that has yet
threatened Gary started yesterday
morning and was not extinguished un-
til after the Gary chemical outfit and
dozens of people had worked from the
middle of the morning until after )
o'clock in an effort TO stop the progress
Of the flames and save their homes
All of the methods which are resort
ed to by the fighters of fires in the
northern woods and on the prairies
were adopted at Gary, and it is esti-
mated that at least fifteen buildings
were saved by the intelligent and
faithful work of the firefghters.
Whole Families Fight Fire.
Whole families including the chill
dren, got out in the smoke and dirt
and fought to save their homes. Some
of them beat the fire out with damp
ened blankets and others started small
back fires" and stopped the progress
of the flames in this manner.
The fires ragged the fiercest in the
neighborhood of Lincoln park and Glen
Park, and it was in this vicinity that
the flames threatened great damage to
the isolated homes Of the people who
live the re. In some cases it is said
that the flames were as high a a mans
head and in several cases it was posi-
lively dangerous to get in the path of
them.
The frefghters had to be cautioned
all the time to be careful not to let
their clothes get on fire. BY evening
the fire was well in control, and it is
believed that the greatest danger is
now over

However, this block of FIVE" scheme
is not to be confined to indianapolis.
1t is now being worked in every city
where there is a saloon, including the
cities of Lake county. The brewers
have given their followers instruc-
tions to proceed as quietly as possible,
but it is known beyond question that
every member of the liquor trade de-
pendant for the brewery has been told
that he must have five republican votes
at his command and that he must have
them at the polls on election dav

DEMOCRATS
HAVE NEW
SCHEME
Brewery Trust Expects to
Work Blocks of Five"
Scheme to Defeat Election
of James E. Watson and
Republican Legislature.

Indianapolis, Oct. 1.-THE plan of
the liquor interests to defeat the re-
publican state and Legislative tickets
in Indiana is becoming well de-
velOped that it is apparent to out
sitiers who have been wondering what
course thew would pursue.
1t was learned today from a thor
oughiy reliable source that the brew
ers have called upon their friends
throughout the entire state to deliver
their friends to the democratic state
ticket and for the democratic candi-
dates for the legislature. Each brew
cry saloonkeeper. for instance is ex-
pected to deliver five republican votes
against James E. Watson and against
the republican legislative candidates
of his own district; in fact, the liquor
| interests have planned a block of
five" scheme, by which they hope to
completely upset the republican party
on Nov 8.
They Must All Work.
Not only is every brewery saloon
keeper to deliver five republican votes,
but every bartender, every porter. every
brewery wagon driver, every brewery
employe. in fact everyone connected
with the liquor traffic is to be called
upon to deliver five republicans. If
the brewers can get their friends to
come through in this way they feel
that they can overwhelmingly defeat
the republican ticket
They have extended their plan in
Indianapolis to the negro saloonkeep-
ers they are working it in this way:
For instance, negro porter is told
that he must go out among his friends
and say to them that unless the repub-
lican ticket is defeated and the county
/ local option law is repealed he will
lose his job.
In Indianapolis, where there are over
1000 negro voters, the brewers hope
to create a lot of trouble for the re-
publicans There are probably. fifty
saloons owned by the brewers and OPP
Grated by negro political bosses. The
brewers have called upon these ne
groes to disrupt the republican party
and to deliver enough votes to them
| to defeat the state and legislative
tickets in this county.
Easy to Carry Out There.
The plan of the brewers IS easy to
carry out here because they control at
least So per cent Of all the saloons.
In fact. IS per cent of the saloon

rHE ART or ADvERTrsTNc.

Who knows the whole story about advertising3 Any one who thinks he does is likely to be one of those wfi o know the least. Advertising is an art, and some~of those who have studied 1t must feel that they are simply fin the Kindergarten class.
 To be sure, there are "experts'' and some of them know the science of pur- chasing publicity and preparing copy very well. They know that 1t is fool ish to advertise an article unless the distribution and other auxiliary work is properly done. They know that 1t Is foolish to crowd their copy and they know the value of "the true ring;" but where is the expert who Knows 1t all?. The importance of this whole quesaion of publicity to the customer Is growing on the manufacturers. He sees his com petitor or some man in another line turning the trick of publicity and he sits up and thinka. He is gradually reaiizing that localized. crystaiized publicity in the home Is what pays best and that he can only get that through the daily newspaper. Many
 manufacturers secure local daily news paper advertising through or by CO., operation with their local agents or re- taiiers in different cities and towns but campaigns of that sort are neces- sarily spasmodic or uneven. The man. ufacturer who has the courage to map out his own campaign and goes ahead is the one who wins out. He buys the publicity wisely and he realizes on 1t.

WILL HOUSTON PAY?
DECLINES TO BEAR HENRY CoUN-
 TITS INDEBTEDNESS
sfxty-seyenth Geographical Division of sfate Goes to Supreme Court win Appeal Against Sharing in
 paymeufn

The history of the formation of Houston, the gixty-seventh County of Alabama, was again brought into the limelight yesterday morning when an appeal was submitted to the Supreme Court of the case In which Henry Coun- ty is suing Houston County for the lat ter's alleged share of Henry County's bonded indebtedness. This indebted ness amounts to sio,ooo and the bonds representing 1t mature variously from 1910 to 1914.
 Houston County was created by cull- ing certain territory from the counties of Dale, Henry and Geneva In February, 1903. under the constitutional provis- ion for such a procedure. Houston's s founders lopped big chunk of the
 land of Henry County. The law Is that when one county Is formed from others
 it shall bear Its proportionate share of the indebtedness prevailing at the time in those old counties. Henry Is now
 claiming that Houston should be made
 to pay something between s6.7oo and
 S6, 800 of the $i0,000 bonded indebted
 ness that the former owes and owed at
 the time Henry was deprived of the ter- ritory to form Houston.
 This pro rata share of the indebted ness Is computed on the basis of the relative property valuation for taxa
 ton in the piece of territory taken
 away. from Henry county.
 Houston refuses to pay q cent to re- tire the sf0.0o0 of bonds maturing in
 the near future. The basis of It's con-
 tention is that at the time of the for
 nation of Houston County Henry had
 in It's treasury surplus of stA00o. To
 this the property valuations of what
 was once part of Henry and Is now .
 part of Houston County contributed 2
 iust share of the revenues. For this
 reason, there being more money in the treasury than was owed. Houston
 claims that 1t is not liable for cent.
 that the indebtedness maturing in isi0-
 1914 must be met solely out of the
 funds in the Henry County treasury.
 The arguments and briefs present
 some interesting questions on which
 probably the Supreme Court will pass
 for the first time. The Henry County Circuit Court and the Henry County Chancery Court. to which the suit was presented. did not pass on the merits of the case. These courts differed as to whether 1t was matter for law or an equity court to determine.
 Thomas M. Espy was in Montgomery yesterday to submit the Houston Coun- ty side of the case.

ON RAGING KAW.
Topeka Motor Fleet Starts for
Lawrence.
Commodore w. L. Ball Is in
Command.
WILL STAY ALL NIGHT.
Return Is to Be Made on Sun
day.
WILL STAY ALL NIGHT
Lawrence BOatmen Expect to
Meet the Visitors.

Eight boats from the Topeka Motor
boat fleet will leave their moorings at
che city park this morning at o'clock
on their journey to Lawrence where
the excursionists will remain until
Sunday morning when the trip home
will be commenced. Vice Commodore
w. L. Ball is in charge of the fleet and
will act as pilot while Rear Admiral
Or. A. NJ. Edison will bring up the
rear and see that none Of the craft be-
come lost or lodged on sand bars.
At the present river reading, 1913
feet no trouble is anticipated from
shallow water or sand bars, but Com
modore Edison will trail in the rear
of the fleet so as to be in position to
lend first aid in case of an accident.
Commodore Ball who will have
charge of the fleet expects that the go
ing trip will be made in from three to
four hours, which means an average
speed of something like twelve miles
an hour.
The rate of speed on the return trip
will be less as the current is strong
owing to the depth of the Kaw at this
time and the members of the party
expect that a rate of about five miles
an hour will be made. A party of
Lawrence motor boat enthusiasts will
meet the Topeka fleet few miles this
side of that city and a luncheon will
be served at Burman's grove.
The fleet presented beautiful sight
as all of the boats are new and mod
ern and equipped with canopy tops
and side curtains making them water
proof in case showers are encountered
No two of them are alike in build or
equipment, one being equipped with a
two horse power motor while the most
powerful one has an eight horse
power engine and is a much larger
boat than her sister craft of two horse
power.
Several of the boats are so new that
they have not as yet been christened
which accounts for the lack of names
for some of them. The following
compose the fleet and party: W. l.
Ball and party. E. F. Dean and F. L

1t is terrible thing to become
blase, Ennui is more to be dreaded
than smallpox. When life loses its
freshness and sweetness, and there is
no more newness or joy in it, a per-
son has come to a sorry, sorry pass.
Yet that is what is constantly happen
ing to men and women whose ambi-
lions are material and temporary. The
explanation for the freakiSh per-
formances of so-called society is
that they are the desperate efforts of
jaded and mentally impoverished peo-
pie to achieve a new sensation. Go
to the New York horse show, as
have done. and study the faces there:
the bubbling springs of joy seem to
have all dried up. The countenances
of these devotees of fashion show
WEAKNESS and strain and discomfort.
By way of contrast, observe the faces
of a convention of Christian workers:
see the shining peace and joy which
betokens that all is well in the heart.
The secret of perennial happiness and
freshness and interest Is with the
spiritually minded. 1t is the ever
fresh every morning and new every
evening"
A fair test of love is this: In the
hours of release from the-tension of
care and work, when the mind is
free, do my thoughts turn instantly
and unconsciously to those persons or
things love? Beyond question they
do; and If my thoughts thus turn to
money or self-pleasing or reputation,
then I may know that 1 love these
things above family or friends or
God. David's soul instinctively sought
Jehovah. He said:
ct remember thee upon my bed,
And mediate upon thee in the night
watches"
What do we think about when we
toss sleeplessly upon our beds? Do
the cares of the day still haunt u.s. or
