Miss Ada Coates Married.

Miss Ada M. Coates, foster
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. w. A.
Porter of Wilhelm, La, was mar.
ried to Mr.. G@nmill of Selma,
La, on Monday. Mr.. Gammill
came down on Sunday and was a
guest at the Porter home that
day. Mrs. Porter and daughter,
Miss Coates, then returned with
him to Alexandria that night, and
the young couple were married
in the course of the morning at
the parsonage of the Christian
Church by the Rev. Geo. A. Rey-
nolds. They had been met at the
station by a party of his friends,
and an automobile ride over the
city preceded the pretty little
marriage. Later in the day, they
left for Selma, La, where they
will reside. Mr.. Gammill had
prepared an inviting home for his
bride and they 60 to housekeep-
ing Immediately. Mr.. Gammill
is a skilled mechanic in the en-
plOy of the Grant Parish Land
and Lumber Co., and is an ,es.
Unable young man. He and his
bride have known each other
since she first went to teach at
Selma, three years ago. Her
friends in this parish know that
she is deserving of every happi.
ness, being a girl of great
warmth and sincerity of charac-
ter, conscientious in the perform.
ance of duty, and of noble pur-
pose in life. The True Democrat

extends best wishes that she
realize all happiness and pros,
perity.

Give Books.

Supt. A. M. Hendon makes
an appeal to the charitable for
contributions to be applied to
buying school books for children,
whose parents are unable to pur.
chase them. He says he could
use as much as fifty dollars in
this way. 1t has occurred to us
that donations of books, also
might be made use of by him for
a similar purpose, provided of
course that the text. bOOks were
those prescribed for study in the
schools at present. In families,
where there are no younger
children to whom the books used
by an older child, can descend,
there could be no objection to
pass these on to other children
who need them. We suggest
that parents and children, if m.
able to contribute money, see if
they have not one book to pass
on, first erasing all names and
primate marks, so as to make the
book, or books, as nearly new as
possible.

YOU Gan
SETTLE ALL
BETS NOW

If the Gary municipal election is not
contested in the courts today those
who made bets on the result of the cleo
ton may as well pay over the money
today. Today. the time limit Of ten
days in which an election can be con-
tested, expires and there Is little prob
ability but what the present office hold
ers will ride through on their ma
Jorities without molestation.
Many of those who wagered on the
election have been deferring settle
ment until the time for a contest on the
election had expired. in the hopes that
the fact that the ballots were burned
and other irregularity at the polls
would influence them to have the YER
dict altered or to have a new election
altogether.
It was limited yesterday that there
would be case filed at Crown Point in
which an attempt would be made to
knock out the election and hold it
again. This attempt, it was said. would
be made by the Crolius men. 1t is a
well-known fact that John A. Brennan
is averse to anything of this kind.
If nothing Is done in the courts to-
day, tonight or tomorrow will be settle
up time in Gary.

No CONTESTS

Up until 10 o'clock this morning
there had been no contest cases filed
in the Lake superior or the circuit
court A new phase of the matter was
sprung this morning, however. by at
torneys who state that the ten days
period allowed for the filing of con-
tests dates from the time that the
officials count of the returns were made
which would make only a week, which
has elapsed since the election commits
sioners made the count
It is understood on good authority
that Joseph Cothery. who was defeated
for city clerk by three votes by his
democratic opponent, Harry Moose,
would make a contest. on this ques-
ton Cothery has had nothing to say
except that he had not decided upon
any course TO pursue as yet, and could
not announce whether or not the con-
test would be made.

Monroe Schock from his home in Fir

barn in the rear of Tom AIauger's resi-
dence, next dior. There was also a
tongue of fame which leaped out Just
at this time and Mr. Schock lost no
time in calling up the fire department
and notifying them that there was fire
in Tom Mauger's barn.
Assistant Chief Jim Doherty and his
men responded in short order, but be-
fore they reached the scene of the blaze
it had gained considerable Roadway. and
the contents, including a large guam
tity of hay, grain and rope. etc. to-
gether with a number of chickens were
consumed. The barn itself was Quilted
and the roof badly charred and the loss
on the barn and its contents is esti-
mated to be about $3.50, while the in
surance amounts to $500
III luck seems to be following Tom
Mauger of late. He has had a great
dea of sickness in his family which
has put him under considerable ex-
pense, and the fire yesterday is the last
of a series of mishaps OF which he is
the victim.

Little Eunice Hubbard had been sent
from st. Paul last Monday to go to
Keota to spend the winter at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. John Conklin.
The child did not arrive at Keota, and
finally Mr.. Conklin set out to investi-
gate, and found the little one at Keo-
kuk, from whence he took her home.
The story caught the eye of many
readers, among them Conductor wash
burn, who brought the little girl down
successor here. He recalled the fact
that the child's ticket was bought 'o-
Keokuk, and that her baggage was
checked for that place. She did try
to make the conductor understand that
she wanted Keota, but he thought
that she must be mistaken Conductor
Moulton, who took the little passenger
to Keokuk, also saw the item, and
also stopped to relate how he did his
duty in the matter and delivered the
little girl at Keokuk, as per her tic

worried at Keokuk because no one was
there to meet her Evidently some
one had made mirt.lke at the other
