AS for Moncharmin, he had not the
strength left to utter word.
Richard repeated. for the commits
sary and the compact crowd which
had followed him into the office OBJ
served an impressive silence.
why do you ask II Christine Daae
is here. M. lie commissaire?"
Because she has to be found" de-
clared the commissary of police SOL
emnly.
What do you mean. she has to be
found? Has she disappeared?
In the middle of the performance!

This is extraordinary"
Isn't It? And what is quite as ex-
traordinary is that you should first

in his hands and muttering. What

And he pulled a few hairs out OF
his mustache without even knowing
what he was doing

Yes, she was carried of in the

was invoking the aid OF the angels:
an angel"
And | am sure that she was!"
Everybody looked round. young
man, pale and trembling with excite
ment, repeated:

Sure OF what?" asked Mifroid.
THAT Christine Daae was carried

was carried Off by an angel; an an
gel of the opera. no doubt?"
Yes, monsieur. by an angel OF the
opera; and will tell you where he
lives when we are alone"
You are right, monsieur."
And the commissary of police, IN
viting Raoul to take a chair. cleared
the room Of all the rest. excepting
the managers.
Then Raoul spoke:

PURCHASING MACHINERY
FOR NEW FACTORY HERE

w. B. Storms Of this city left Mon
day for Chicago and indianapolis
where he will proceed TO purchase n
secure necessary machinery and other
p-araphernalia for the equipping OF a
modern plant for the manufacturing
of a new type of curtain stretcher. Mr..
Storms secured a patent on the stretch
er several years ago., but this IS his
first step toward the manufacture of
his idea. He will probably occupy the
old Mogle shoe manufacturing plant
on the north side. All details for the
opening of the oncern here have been
completed and the company will start
the manufacture of the curtain
stretcher within the next few weeks or
as soon as the machinery can be IN
stalled. 1t is probable that but a few
men will be employed at the start, but
Fl the concern makes a success after
the product has been placed on the
market, larger quarters will have TO
be secured, which will mean the EN-
ployment of many men.

The following communication from

terry conditions:
To the Members of the Common Coun-
ell OF the City of Mishawaka-
Gentlemen:
AS mayor of the city of Mishawaka
and as a citizen of h community, L
most earnestly direct your attention TO
an important municipal and civic need
OF Mishawaka, namely, the necessity
for the city providing for adequate
facilities for burial purposes.
1t has been long realized that the
present cemetery, located on the north
side Of the city is wholly inadequate
for the city's growing needs. The
undersigned is convinced that this
need should be met, and the problem
thereof solved by the municipality act
ing independently and alone, III need
be; II possible be cooperating with
public spirited persons or orSan1za-
lions. or both, to the accomplishment
OF the end in view.
In nc event, however, should the
city delay the matter until need for a
cemetery shall become so pressing that
our only relief shall be al the hands
OF private interests Offering TO supply
this need to the public IN the way that
has frequently been done in other
communities. With the brief Sugges-
tons herein submitted. L ask the coun-
Gil TO make any further suggestion n
recommendations 10 the end that GEM
etery ground be provided TOR the
community upon acceptable terms u
without further delay.
1 respectfully submit the PROPOSE
ton to your honorable body for your
most careful consideration.

PROGRESS CHAMBER
IS MOVING RAPIDLY
List of New SignerS Continually
Growing on Charter of the
MiShaWaka Chamber of
Progress.

Another meeting, full Of pep, was
inaugurated By the Mishawaka Cham
Der Of Progress Monday night when
h members OF the organization met
IN large numbers in the dining hall
at the MiShaWaka hotel. The meeting
was an interesting one throughout,
owing probably to the large numbers
present who took a decided interest in
h proceedings last night. At each
meeting Of the newly formed O~rganiza-
ton the proposition seems Ia be TAX
ing on a more promising aspect of be-
coming a most successful progressive
movement for the interest OF Misha-
waka.
Several talks were given by various
members OF the organization Monday
evening in regard TO securing factory
interests to this city. Many prominent
workers Of the club nave been work
ing II the past two weeks looking
up statistics and other interesting mat
ter to be mailed out for the purpose
OF advertising Mishawaka's wonderful
facilities. The fact hat this city has
good shipping facilities and good wa
ter sites where water power could
easily be secured by the various fac
tories who might consider Mishawaka
a a possible locating place, is an in
ducement in itself which al hardly
be overlooked. There are Inducements
which the men who nave been work
ing on this end Of the self boosters
committee have discovered, and which
will be added TO the list Of prepared
matter to be gotten out at a later
date. Later on it is expected that
the organization Will take this matter
up with more strength but at the
present the affairs Of the club are too
merO TO warrant such action, and
the men feel that it is not well to
a too many fingers In the pie
which might spoil its baking.
ChautauQua Representatives were
present at the meeting and it is posi-
BILE that the organization will sign up
with one OF them before another meet
ing. II was stated by n OF the.prOm-
inent members Of the chamber that
the directors would endeavOr to secure
enough signers on a petition which
would guarantee the cost of the chau-
tauqua before they would sign any
contracts which would bring n to
this city for next spring. In this way
there would be no responsibility on the
organization should a Chautauqua not
be a success in this city. if one should
be held here.
Over 800 members have now sign
ed on the charter which will probably
be closed soon. IT is thought though
thai the charter will be left open for
at least another two weeks as il is
hoped hat the 1000 members can
be induced TO sign before it is sent to
the state capital.
A meeting of the board OF directors
was held after the general organiZa-
ton meeting but closed too late for
the morning edition.

OLD PUMPING STATION
is NOW A HAS BEEN
New Plant to Be Given Real
Test and Workout With Old
Plant Completely Shut Down
= City Metering Making
Progress.

Monday evening the old water
works plant at the foot of church st.
was shut down until further needed
by a larger demand of MishaWaka res
idents for water. The new plant in
the east end recently completed Will
be given its real test from now on.
City Water and Electric Superintend-
ent =. +. Crabill stated Tuesday morn
ing that he felt that the plant was
well able now to take are of the wa
ter needs OF the city. A close tab has
been kept for several weeks on the
various meters and gauges at the new
plant, and they show hat everything
is in tip-tOp shape. The wells have
now ceased TO cause any trouble at
the plant and the trouble with the
screens mas been entirely overcome.
The fires in the boilers in the old
plant are being kept up in case Of
emergency and in obedience to the re-
laws. The capacity Of the new plant
at the present time far the
needs Of the city and on Monday
pumped over 1000. 600 gallons more
water than was necessary.
The water works department has
been installing the meters for several
weeks and a large number ave been
placed about the city. The water
pumped Monday amounted TO over
10000 600 gallons, but was nearly one
half the requirements Of a city of this
size, according to statistics gathered
from other water works departments
Of various cities in this state.
