away. and the party Is said to be in
good shape. The republicans of the
thirteenth district are arranging for
district love feast, and 1t is thought
that after this is held there will be
some news as 70 the plans for next
years campaign.
No call has yet been issued for
meeting of the republican state COM
mittee, but 1t is said that it will be
forthcoming within short time. The
meeting will be for the purpose of
making plans for a reorganization of
the committee. Under the law the
committee fixes the time when the
counties shall elect delegates to the
district convention, which is to elect a
district chairman. After the district
chairmen are elected they meet in this
city for organization, and for the cleo
ton of a chairman. 1t is understood
that the state committee will be re-
organized in January, and If this is
done the preliminary meeting of the
committee will have to be held soon.
Little is heard about the election of
state chairman, because the greater
part OF the talk up to this time. of
late. has been about the love feast,
which will not now be held
Considerable interest is being mani
tested in the reorganization of the
democratic state committee, which is
to be made in short time. The pri
maries in the counties for the election
of delegates to the district conventions
will be held throughout the state next
Friday. The district conventions will
be held on Jan. 5. and the new members
of the committee will meet here on Jan.
5 for the election of a state chairman.
Up to date the race for chairman seems
to lie between Stokes Jackson, the pres
| ent state chairman. and Pete Foley of
Terre Haute, with the chances all in
favor of Foley. There is much dissat-
! isfaction with Jackson, and 1t is not
believed that he will be able to heal up
| the troubles. 1t is well-known that
! Governor Marshall does not favor jack
son, although he has not made any
public declaration along that line. Most
anybody else would suit the governor
as we'll as jackson, and 1t is under
stood that Foley would be especially
satisfactory. This is one of the reasons
why Foley looks so strong as a candf-
date for state chairman.
Since the word has come from Wash
| ington that Speaker Cannon will re-
tire from the speakership in 1911, there
| is a strong belief that the next speaker
of the house will be Congress man
| Crumpacker Of the tenth Indiana dis
trict He is one of the old members OF
| the house, and he stands high in the
councils of the party at Washington
He is heather radical nor an insurg-
ent nor a conservative. and for this
reason it is pointed out that he would
be an acceptable speaker to all sides
of the party. Another strong point In
his behalf that is being pointed out
here is that Crumpacker can, stay in
congress as long as he pleases, and II
once elected speaker he would be in
position to hold the place and thus
lead his party in the lower house OF
/ congress for as many years as he would
care to do so-just like Cannon It Is
believed that Crumpacker stands
good show for the place.

Gated ana that ended gambling at
Dearborn Park.
Shortly afterwards. the Chicago pro-
motors having become sick of their
deal, decided to sell out. They offered
the building and the grounds to Peter
w. Meyn and George Lawrence for
very low figure. The Hammond man
realizing that the building had cost
$4,000 and that the land was worth
something, bought the property.
BIG WHITE ELEPHANT.
Since that time the property has
been white elephant on their hands.
There is no wagon road leading to the
property and it was impossible to
think of wrecking the building with
the idea of saving the lumber for there
was no means of hauling it away.
Mr.. Meyn and Mr.. Lawrence were
compelled to pay out $3.50 IN a year
and a half to a Waterman to look
after the building. Later they got
tired of meeting this expense and de-
cided to discharge the watchman.
In few months every window in
the place had been stolen by the for
eigners and others who lived in the
neighborhood and worked In Gary. In
fact, everything that was of value
about the building that could be stolen
was taken away
This winter Mr.. Meyn proposed to
wait until the ice on the river was
frozen enough to warrant his driving
a team of horses on it and then he ex-
pected to wreck the building and sell
the lumber Although the building
cost So, 200, the owners would have
been gald to have taken $500 for it at
any time.
RECEIVE MYSTERIOUS OFFER.
About two weeks ago man who
gave his name as Gately called Mr..
Meyn up on the telephone and asked
if he wanted to sell Dearborn Park.
Mr. Meyn said he would be only too
glad to get rid of it.
From that time on Mr.. Meyn began
to hear from a number of Chicago
men regarding the property. Gately
was found to be a fictitious name and
B. r. Hyman, a Chicago printer, 10
Gated at 121 Plymouth place. seemed
to have charge of the negotiations.
Finally when the deal for the sale
was closed the check for the first in
stallment of $1,000 on the purchase
price of the property was signed by
Russell McGirr of Chicago. Bud White
also seemed to be interested in the ne
| gotiations.
| Attorney w. j. McAleer of Ham
mond was retained by Mr.. Meyn to
close up the deal.
1t is believed that part of the un-
derstanding is that Dearborn Park is
| to be reopened and is to run without
molestation from either of the factions
| In this long drawn out war.
Dearborn Park is now located in the
city of Gary and the matter will be
under the jurisdiction of the Gary po-
lice. The developments of the future
promise to be interesting.

A decisive fight may develop in

Gary is crying for reorganization as

by County Ed. Simon. Mayor Becker
may or may not be heart and soul

not with Ed Simon, there being a po-
litical feud between these two The

have the upper hand over Ed Simon
in Hammond, but the latter still has
considerable reserve strength in the
balance of the county, provided the
voters go to meeting on New Years

Not Out After Ii.
The name of Ed Simon is frequently
mentioned as a candidate for the Tenth
district but he is not an avowed candi-
date, but like good democrat, he
would not refuse it if it were handed
to him just in the right manner. So
If his friends decide to make him enter
the race the battle will lay between
him and the insurgents, headed by Tom
Knots and backed by Mayor Becker.
Unless he will have to buck the Tenth
district mayors combination, his
friends look for him to make not only
to make a good showing but to carry
away the victory.
With the mayors combination out of
the race, it is as much Ed Simon's vic
tory as anybody's provided he decides
to become an eleventh hour candidate

How Hair Grows.

A single hair, which can support
a weight of two ounces, is so elactic
that it may be stretched to one-third
of its entire length and then regain
its former size and condition. DR..
Pincus has measured the growth of
hair by cutting off circles about one
inch in diameter from the heads OF
healthy mel, and so comparing the
growth of the patches with that Of
the rest of the hair. He found that
the growth rate generally became
slower after cutting; that in some
cases the hair on the patches grew
at the same rate as the rest, but that
it never grew any faster.
The ordinary length Of the hair
on the head ranges between twenty
two inches and about forty-fve
inches, the latter being considered
unusually long 1t has been calcu-
lated that the hair of the beard
grows at the rate of one line and a
half a week; this will give length
of six and half incnes in the course
of a year. For a man eighty years
of age, who has been a clean shaver
from early maturity, no less than
twenty-seven feet of beard must
have fallen before the edge of the
razor
