GROWTH OF CITY.
Indiana Harbor Secures Another
Factory to Employ 1900 Men
and Cost Over a Million.

Mr.. ]. r. Losey of this city
has furnished the Tribune a copy
of the Sentinel of Indiana Har-
Dor. An account is contained OF
the securing of another factory
The McClintic- Marshall Con
struction Co., which is to be To-
Gated there, and which when
completed will employ 1900 men.
Mr.. Losey OWNS two lots, in the
vicinity of the new factory site,
one a business, and one a resi-
dence lot. Before the location of
the new factory, the lots had
doubled in value. and will prob
ably quadruple Mr.. Losey's in
vestment for him.
The ground purchased for the
location of the factory consists of
so acres, for which $4,000 per
acre has been paid.
Indiana Harbor is a city seven
years old, has a population of 49,
600. has 20 railroads, ship canal
a lake harDor, and a constant an
nexation of factories and indus
tries. This booming Indiana
town, promises soon to develop
into greatness.

TERM EXPIRES JAN. 8, 1910.
New Officers Elected November
End Will Then Take Their
Places.

The terms of the present in
cumbents of city offices will ex-
pire on the first Monday in jan
uary, 1910. This will be on the
3d. The statute enacted in 1905,
increasing the terms OF officials
from two to four years was so
framed that officials elected in
November OF 1905 took Office at
the expiration of the terms OF
those then in Office. These terms
ended the first Monday in Sep
tember of 1906, at which time
the mayors, clerks and treasurers
began the terms for which they
were elected in 1905. The result
was that none of these terms was
for more than three years and
four months.

sold at fair at Boston, the pro-
ceeds going into a fund for the
care OF the wounded soldiers of
the civil war. Two such fairs
were held in Brooklyn, one OF
which, in 1864, netted 100000.
In the same year the United
States Sanitary Commission"
stamps ere sold, realizing $780,
600.
So, in looking around for a le-
gltimate means Of raising funds
with which to assist the various
organizations throughout the
United States devoted to the
cause, in their hard uphill fight
against tuberculosis, the Red
Cross re-discoverd the stamp.
In 1903, the Red Cross Christ
mas stamps were designed by the
we'll known artist, Howard Pyle,
and their sale brought $40, 900.
This money was used to employ
visiting nurses to aid the tuber-
culosis poor to institute day
camps where persons suffering
from the white plague could live
out OF doors; to carry on Tie edu-
cational work in crowded, con-
gested, tenement districts, seek
ing to better sanitary conditions
and suppress possible contagion,
and to assist in providing needy
persons suffering from the dread
disease with the proper nourish-
ment.
During the forthcoming Christ
mas season it is hoped that So
100000 stamps may be sold.
Thirty million have been ordered
as starter.
The 1909 stamp will be printed
in two colors-holly leaves and
scroll work in green, and tho
crosses and holly berries, red. 1t
will be sold by branch Red Cross
Societies throughout the country
ard this year the same oonces-
sion will probably be given.

the floors OF the Auditors and
Recorders rooms, downstairs. In
fact there were only two dry
rooms in the court house Tues
day and these were the Clerks
and Treasurer's rooms.
The condition of the rooms up
stairs, is almost a sad sight. Pools
of water stand in the Surveyors,

the ceilings above these rooms
there was a constant fall of water

the drip, and fall of water from
the ceiling. In the Judges room,
a constantly fed pool stood on
the linoleum which covers the
floor. The law library was parti-
ally protected in this room, being
contained in book cases, but
these oaken cases were much
damaged by the water and damp
ness.
The carpet which lies on the
jury stand in the court room. is
saturated with water, of which
there is an abundance falling on
the judges bench, and over the
body of the COURT room.
The County Surveyor under

flowing drain, which empties out
of the front door of his room, in
to the hall upstairs.
In the rooms of the Auditor
and Recorder downstairs, tubs
and buckets are scattered over
the floor. covering the spots OF
the heaviest fall, but the water
is covering their floors and the
1ampness, pervades the entire

mate the damage which will be
done to the records, in the audi

National guard will be held next
summer at Fort BENJAMIN Har
rison, north of indianapolis This
is now assured by orders going
out to the Indiana guards and
the Plymouth |. N. G. company
expects maneuvers of more eiab-
crate nature than those of two
years ago, when such were un-
usally complete. AS result OF
recent criticisms of the hardshipS
the summer maneuvers in Mas
sachusetts on the militia forces
which participated with the reg
ulars in the attack on Boston,
Colonel E. NJ. Weaver, chief OF
the militia division, is preparing
special instructions to national
guard medical officers, directing
that more stringent medical ex-
animation be required of recruit
entering the militia. He takes
the stand that no mihtiaman not
physically able to stand the
strain of the war game should
be allowed to participate in fu-
t,,-a ,,,o,,a,,yarS
These instructions will apply
to the Indiana companies of mil
itia. Too often, it has been
found, social or political standing
had more to do with a recruit
getting into certain militia
company than hrs physical or
military fitness. AS result many
members are undersized and a
large number are in too poor con-
dition to go out for season OF
hard work in the field.
The authorities also have heM
that when militia companies are
called upon for maneuvers, par
ticularly with the regular forces,
every man going ont for this
duty must pass another examin-
alton. In this way only picked
men will be allowed to serve.
General Oliver has strong faith
in the present method of train
ing for the national guard. "The
war department" he said. "has
not the slightest intention of
varying its plan for the general
education of the national guard
in connection with the army in
Joint camps and maeuvers in al
ternate years, there is no ques-
tion but that the recent maneu-
vers have been invaluable. and
simply because certain hardships
may have been suffered through
their own ignorance by some OF
the men of the militia there is
certainly no reason for interfer-
ing with or changing, in any way
the well-settled policy which has
been determined upon by the de-
partment.

Fought Against Operation.
The injured man when rushed
to the St. Joseph hositapl, wa;
prepared at once for the operat-
ing room. He acted in an ugly
mood the entire time until put
under the influence of chloroform
against which he fought.
DR.. Rubsam, assisted by Drs
Miller and Palmer performed the
operation which required over an
hour. Byquick work on the part
OF the Sisters Sutherlin was
ready for the operating table
within a few minutes after arriv-
ing there and his case was given
attention in a verv short time.
He succumbed to the anaesthetic
in five minutes despite his efforts
against it. He refused to breathe
deeply which made it hard for
the physicians to get him under
the influence.
DO as you are told, Bill, urg-
ed DR.. Miller, land you will soon
be on the road to Wellville."
Yes" answered Bill, 81 will
be on the road to Hellville." With
that he started struggling and
the services of four men were
required to hold him on the table.
During the operation it was nee
essary to give twice the amount
of chloroform necessary for an
ordinary man.
Wound a Bad One.
Examination of the intestines
developed that the curt extended
at least two inches in depth. The
perltOneum was slashed at the
opening of the wound and the
colon, one.of the vital parts OF
the intestines, was slightly cut.
Had the instrument which did
the cutting, continued the slight
est in its course the intestines
would have been laid open. AS
it was the blood issued forth in
the abdomen causing the injury
to be serious. Stitches were taken
in the colon and several stitches
were required to close up the per-
itoneum A drainage tube was
placed in the mans abdomen to
allow poisonous substances to
pass from the intestines and if
possible avert a case of periton-
tits.
Not Buggy Shaft, Doctors Say.
All the surgeons on the case
were agreed that the wound in
Sutl1erlin's side was not inflict-
ed by a broken shaft as was testi-
fed to by all the witnesses to
the fray. They declare that it
must have been done by sharp
instrument of some Kind.
Sutherlin's wife was at home
on the farm near Royal Center
when the accident occurred and
she was notified OF her husband S
condition at once. She was
brought to this city to be at the
bedside. Sutherlin has two
small children boy and girl.

DEMOCRATIC FACTION
X X X X
Argos Writer Has Second
Article in Reflector Siz-
ing Up the Situation in
the Court House Injunc-
ton Case.
(Argos Rehector)

Y
| did not write my article on
the court house, published in the
Reflector two weeks ago with
any expectation that the editor OF
the Plymouth Democrat would
agree with me and hence am not
disappointed at all. He still how
ever continues the useless pro-
test that it is not factional fight.
OF course nobody believes him.
Everybody remembers that the
fight originated a few years age
when ex. president Bryan was to
make a speech in Plymouth, and
the difference came, up between
O'Keefe and Met5ker as to which
should rank first in the obse-
quies, and it has been kept up
ever since, and now at the ex-
pense OF the taxpayers. But
Metsker protests that there is a
vital principal at stake but he
does not explain what it is. There
Is no evidence up to date that the
people would get less for their
money on the O'Keefe bid than
the Ness bid. Low price does
not as rule mean, cheaper, III
fact it might prove the worst bid
OF the lot. 1t is for this reason
that the authorities reserve the
right to reject any or all bids,
and in this case they rejected
the bid of MIR. Ness and they had
the legal right to do SO. If they
did not have the right to reject
any bid | should like to have
some one tell me what in the
name OF heavens they are there
for, they are certainly not orna-
mental. If the editor of the Dem
ocrat wanted to buy a horse or
a, farm and make out specitlca-
tions for the kind of a horse or
farm he wanted would be take
the lowest bid and ask no ques-
tons? From his vital princi-
PAL theory he certainly would,
but would it be business sense !?
This letting contracts by bids
would be the greatest humbug
on earth if the commissioners did
not have the right to reject bids
and their Judgment should be
hnal. Government by injunction
should never be resorted to by
the Democratic party. 1t has been
condemned by them in every
platform they have made in the
past dozen years. In this case
like the Fulton County court
house it is likely to prove a costly
experiment and the taxpayers
must pay the fiddler.
Again the editor thinks |
would suffer an injustice rather
titan contend for my rights.
Wrong again. But | would not
vote for an officer unless | had
confidence in him enough~to be-
lieve he had sense enough to dis
criminate between a low poor bid
and higher good one, at least |
should hardly carry his name and
recommend him to the voters in
a paper over which | had control.
But the best Joker in his article
is that he feels satisfied that they
will get the decision because !
am no lawyer. Professionally he
is right, but read some and am
capable of digesting what I read
and right there is where | have
the advantage OF the editor of
the Democrat.
