MKUM'S DISCOVERY.
BY DEAN COLLINS.

Ok DEAN NOAAiSANos
Inkum Stebbins' keen proboscis
Smelt the smell Of putrid graft;
Inkum Stebbins' little muck-rake
Raked the question fore and aft
Fore and aft he shrewdly raked it,
With sharp, incisive pen,
Inkum Stebbins raked up U'Ren,
with an accent on the REM
Tell US. tell US, Inkum Stebbins,
What is this that you have found,
Scratching with your little muck-rake
On our graft-infested ground?
''Tis indeed rara avis"
Quoth the rabid raker then.
.Tis the one and only U'Ren,
please to accent on the REM
'Tis the sapient creator
OF the double headed brute,
With the asinine appearance
And the elephants to boot.
(Do not ask man to name 1t,
For, indeed, he really can't
A mere Elephass it may be,
Or wild Jackassophant)'
Hes the champion of the 'peepul,
And the foe of the machine,
And he strives to make the methods
Of the Legislature clean;
Let them send not to the Senate
He who thickest sings his pelf
Though to vindicate the people
I must sacrifice myself.
''The protection of the masses
Ever Is his chiefest care,
Even though his course may doom him
To the Senatorial chair;
He will save the simple voters
From the sharks that gather thick,
Though he has to dig eleven
Hundred bucks to do the trick"
Hail the grand, great-hearted black
smith
Inkum Stebbins bows to you,
Forger of the Otherendum,
And the Initiative tool
Great protector of the "peepul"
From the wiles of wicked men,
Honor be to noble U'Ren,

Especial to THE TIMEs)

East Chicago, Ind, Aug. ga
movement is on foot in this city for
the organization of a Civic Beauty
club" having for its purpose the car
rving out of the city's original plans
for the maintenance of city park.
The plot of ground in the center of the
city. formerly used as a concert park,
has been allowed to practically go to
ruin. A few dollars, spent judiciously,
in the placing of benches and settees
and the trimming of the plenteous
foliage would give the city a resting
place equal to any in the surrounding
cities.
a petition will be circulated by To-
cal man within a few days to which
every citizen will be requested to sign
his name. This will be addressed to
the council and request their co-opera-
ton in the making of a city beautiful'
in East Chicago. Several East Chicago
men of affairs have promised the do
nation of substantial sums of money
towards any labors of this nature
There is little doubt that it will meet
with the approval of the public in gen.
eral.

Introduces New Ordinance.
Attorney n. V Call at the meeting
Yesterday also introduced an ordinance
providing against the tapping of the
service pipes of the water company, or
interfering with the service in any
manner. He also provided for the pro-
lection of the fire plugs and other mat
tiers for the protection of both the COM
pany and the city. There was but one
objection raised by the city and that
was the necessity of having to go to
the water confpany's office for per-
nit any time that it is desired to alter
the plumbing no matter how trifiing
the Job. 1t was finally decided that
the permits must be obtained only when
the service is altered below the meter,
where the fiat rate is not in use.
Public Printing Contract.
The contract for the public printing
for the ensuing year was awarded to
the Gary Tribune. The bidding was
close and the successful paper won
out by a narrow margin. There Were

Three years ago Miss Kaufman suf-
fered with a complication of diseases
and was taken to the Illinois State Eye,
