team winning by score of Ga to s,
while the second team defeated their
opponents 35 to IL. Despite the fact
that the score appears rather one-sided
the games were very interesting. Luck
seemed to be against East Chicago as
the players made a number of fine
shots which under ordinary circum-
stances would have scored. but time

Indianapolis. Ind, Dec. 31.--Since the
question of whom the Democrats shall
nominate for Governor in 1912 has
entered into the fight for tht office OF

session of the Legislature the Demo-
Gratis are in a deep sweat. and the
prospects seem to be good now for the

the race before the Democratic party
caucus is htld. This is g. complication
that had not been expected to arise.
but it is here and 1t is staring the
Democrats In the face.
There can be no doubt but that the
leading candidates in the speakership
fight in the last week have been Adam
E. Wise. OF Plymouth, and Albert }.
Venneman, OF Evansville. All of the
rest of the candidates were merelp
running with no chance of success. 1t
looked like Wise and venneman would
have to fight it out between themselves.
The way the thing framed up showed
that Taggart and his crowd had got in
behind Wise and that they were try
ing to put him over. 1t was not a case
of Wise getting In at the head of tha
Taggart procession. 1t was a case III
hind Wise, whether Wise wished it SO

part of the anti-Taggart element had

1t was learned that Taggart's follow

LAND COMPANIES MAKE
UP THE DIFFERENCE


East Chicago, Ind, Dec. 31.-The last
impeachment in the way of paving Chi
cago avenue and the other streets
whose improvement is to be undertak-
en- by the county, has been removed.
The East Chicago company and the
Calumet Kennedy have come to the
front and agreed to make up the diff
ference between what the county re-
quires for the sale of the bonds and
what the highest bidders will give for
them.
The total that these land companies
will be obliged to pay will be about
$2,150. Some of this has already been
paid and the bonds for the improve
ments which the latter cover, sold, and
the rest will be turned over In due
course to the purchasers of the bonds
The East Chicago company a few
days ago issued a check for $3.50. as a
bonus on the Chicago avenue improve
ment bonds from Barring avenue to
Holman street, to Julian Youche OF
Crown Point, the purchaser of the pa
per, while the Calumet Kennedy COM

Gifted because of the philanthropic
spirit OF the sisters of st. Francis. who

In round numbers, 1,400 patients were
received at st. Margarets hospital in
the year 1910. This number is nearly
double that CT former years, because
of the addition which was opened last
year.
Benefactors Are Many.
With a gratitude that is equalled
only by their charity, the sisters of the
hospital today again take occasion to
extend their heartfelt thanks to their
hundreds of friends in Lake county.
The year has not been without it's
hardships and struggles for the good
women who are at the helm OF the ship.
1t was all the more trying because of
the increased responsibility placed on
them because of the large hospital, but
the end of the year finds the work
well done, and the outlook for the year
1911 encouraging. What success has
been attained the sisters generously at
tribute to re friends of the institution.
They have been numerous as the rec
ords of the hospital will show, some
OF them are unknown to the sisters
and others again will remain unknown
to the public because of the wish of
the benefactor.

In asking THE TIMES to give public
expression to their gratitude the sis

physicians and surgeons, the priests
and ministers, the various lodges and
organizations who have aided the in
