Notorious Divekeeper o
Gary Deserts His Old
Haunts.

Dave Johnson, the notorious Gary
negro, who was the keeper of one of
one of the worst dives in Gary and who,
since the expiration of his saloon IL
cense, IS said to have been running a
blind pig, has evidently given 1t up
as a bad job
Johnson, through the recent expos
ures in THE TINES, has had a gradual
falling off of business until he decided
to launch into some other business to
collect the nickels that at one time
clinked merrily over the bar. Yester-
day johnson moved his saloon fixtures
out of the building he had located in,
on Fifteenth and Washington streets,
and carted them away. nobody knows
where.
Now Dame Rumor says that David
is going into the scent theater bust
ness on Fifteenth and Broadway Da.-
vid could not be reached today. and
the chances are that he would have
given out very little information to a
TIMES man eE@n If he could.
Johnson employed lawyers to start
libel proceedings against THE TIMES al
one time, and their demands for re-
fractions were met with further ex-
poses OF Johnson's disreputable place.

WELL TO Be OPENED UP
Famous Spouter at East
Chicago to Be Rehabi-
litated.

East.Chicago, Ind, March 1S.-An eff
fort is betty made to rehabilftate the
famous original flowing artesian well
at the foot of Short street facing Ex-
change avenue. The well has appar-
entity been dry for the past ten years,
but NJ. F. Mccarthy, who owns the
property on which it stands. is Of the
opinion it is merely clogged up and
it is with a view of removing the OBJ
struction and causing it once more to
flow freely, that the pipe is now being
cleaned. Ben Price is doing the work
ready depth has been reached Of 1907
feet The pipe is said to extend a.
500 feet into the earth.
That the spring, which supplied the
once famous well, has not dried up. is
evidenced by the fact that the clean
ers have already succeeded in secur-
ing a sample of the water. and this
has been sent to indianapolis for
analysis.
1t is Mr.. McCarthy's intention to
bottle the water and sell it. If its
medicinal qualities are proved to be as
beneficial as they are supposed to be
The water is rich in minerals, and ii
is this fact which is supposed to be
responsible for the clogging of the
pipe.
The property, on which the vel
stands, was formerly supposed to be
city property, 1t having been the gener-
al opinion that it had been dedicated
to East Chicago for alley purposes
Mr.. Mccarthy, who owns a blacksmith
shop adjoining the well. discovered re
Gently, however, that this was not so
AS he had long been of the opinion
that the well should be revived, he a
once took steps to purchase the lot
which has since been transferred t.
| him.

Literary Society Organized.

The LOYAL Sons and Daughters
League, " literary society organized at
the colored Christian church. January
18th, by the writer, is getting on nicely.
Eight new members were received
Tuesday night.
This society was gotten up for the i'm
provement of our young people along
moral, musical, business and literary
lines.
We have three debates each month
besides the meetings for music and
business.
On next Tuesday night we will discuss
the subject: Resolved, That Parents
Should Educate their Girls in Prefer
ence to their Boys Much interest is
manifested in this subject already. We
would not forget to say that on last
Friday night the League surprised us
with storm Party" and brought us
many good things to eat. The League,
we understand, had the assistance of
some good white friends. We are truly
thankful to all who had any part in the
affair, both for the spirit which prompt
ed it, and the real worth of the gifts.

Something About a I2-Inch Gun.

The twelve-inch guns with which the
battleships of the United States navy
are now equipped, has a mouth foot
wide and length of fifty feet. 1t will
fire a shell through ten inches of steel
six miles from the gun. The projectile
we,ghes $40 pounds and the charge of
explosives 430 pounds. The monsters
weigh so tons and cost $50, 900. It takes
6 years tine TO construct them. When
a gun of this size is fired the recoil is as
great as if transatlantic liner were
stopped almost instantly. The explo-
sive force at the mouth OF the gun is
sufficient to move the weight of two
bartleships one foot. The projectile has
a speed of half mile second. Every
time the gun is fired it costs 81, $50, and
it can shoot away $4,000 worth of am
munition minute. With these guns q
battleship may lay out at sea and fire
into or beyond New York city. With
such monsters as these in broadside
the life of battleship in an engage
ment depends on which one shoots the
straightest and begins first.

ONCE 4 VAST INLAND LAKE.
This is ReY. BufVell SpurlOCk'S Theory
About BurkeS Garden.

Rev. Burwell Spurlock, who was prob
ably the ablest minister of the gospel in
this State during his day, but who died
several years ago in Wayne county,
once told an interesting story of flood
which had swept down the Ohio river at
some time, probably more than hun
dred years ago.
He stated that when his father came
to West Virginia he settled at Green
Bottom, eighteen miles above Hunting
ton, on the Ohio river. He erected his
cabin on the bank of the river short
distance from a small stream known as
Lower Pond Cut. He said this was
1880, and he was quite a small boy.
There were some huge elm trees stand
ing in the bottom and thirty feet from
the ground large drift log was lodged
In the big branches of these trees. IL
was his opinion that there had been q
flood that would exceed anything known
by probably twenty feet. His theory
was that what is known as Burkes Gar
den, in Tazewell county, Va, had once
been vast inland lake, and by some
cause its walls had given way and its
waters had rushed out into the New
River thence down the Kanawha and
Ohio rivers, sweeping everything be-
fore it. This must have occurred prior
to 1740, as he said the Oldest people liv-
ing at the time of his boyhood had heard
nothing about such thing. He stated
that there could be no doubt but what
the large log was lodged as above stated
by its being f1oated in among the branch
es by high water.
Rev. Mr.. Spurlock was once pastor of
church at Lexington, KY, and preach
ed frequently to Henry Clay, who so
greatly admired him that he presented
his name before the United States SEN
ate for election as chaplain of that body
and he lacked but two votes of being
elected.-Bluefeld Telegraph.

The Taft Cabinet.

President-elect Taft has about COM
pleted the makeup of his official family
according to dispatch sent out from
Philadelphia on Tuesday. The selection
of a person suitable to fill the position
of Secretary of the Treasury is still un-
settled, but it would seem that the hon.
or is to go either to Franklin McVeaeh
or Myron T. Herrick. With this excep-
ton the cabinet is complete, and will be
as follows:
Secretary of State-Philander C.
Knox, of Pennsylvania.
Attorney General-George w. Wick
ersham, of New York.
Postmaster General-Frank H. Hitch
cock, of Massachusetts.
Secretary of War;. M. Dickinson,
of Tennessee.
Secretary of the Navy-George Won
L. Meyer, of Massachusetts,.
Secretary of Commerce and Labor
Chas Nagle, of Missouri.
Secretary of the Interior-R. A. Bal
linger, of Washington.
Secretary of Agriculture-James VIII
son, of Iowa.
1t will be observed that in this list arr
five lawyers, than whom Mr. Taft be-
lieves there are none better in the coun.
try. 1t may be stated that this fact il
not mere coincidence, but is an &C.
complishment carefully planned.
