A GUEST.

Senator Bowser To Start New Daily Paper at Gary.

State Senator Bowser, editor of the Chesterton Tribune, is going to establish a republican daily newspaper in Gary, and Incidentally “get even” with some of the men who are charged with having "thrown him down” for renomination, says the Gary Post. The most remarkable feature of the announcement is that Frank N. Gavit, who was nominated for senator to succeed Editor Bowser, is friendly to the newspaper project. Senator Bowser—also Editor Bowser—was in Gary last week and spent several hours in consultation with politicians, business men—and others who are both business men and politicians. He returned to Chesterton in the evening after having made tho statement to several persons that he intended to start another daily paper in Gary in a few weeks. He did not state whether he-intended to take the Chesterton Tribune plant to that city or whether he was going to install 0 new plant. Senator Bowser is said io be financially able to do many thingp and if it is true that he has the back itig of the president of the Gary & lnterurban traction company there la no reason why he may not do all the things he says he is going to do.

Suits made to order at reasonable prices. Clothes cleaned, pressed and repaired. Also ladies’ garments pressed. Dry cleaning a specialty. All work guaranteed first-class.

Impressions of a Visitor Who Spent the Fourth in Rensselaer.

Some weeks since, a family in Chicago were discussing the question “Where to spend the Fourth?” Preparations were being made for an extensive celebration along unique lines in the city that seemed to say, “remain at home for this celebration,” but the call of early days was not to be denied, so the decision was made to seek the scenes of childhood days—-the open country—where the pure air and sunlight of the Giver of all good was to be found in all their abundance—.with - cut-money and without price. Then came the question, “Where?” The decision was soon reached that the old Hoosier State held first claim and that the little city of Rensselaer should be the objective point. Saturday afternoon found us on the train speeding ..oward the objective place. For many miles out of Chicago the eyes were wearied by about as Godforsaken a stretch of country as lies out of doors, but when within a few miles of our destination, the character of the country changed, and soon we were in God’s country again. This feeling was fully verified wheV u? alighting from the train, we found ourselves in a gem of a little city nestling among the great forest of beautiful shade trees of man’s planting, but nourished to perfection by such clear, crystal air and sunshine that is but too rarely found in this mundane sphere. First impressions were amply verified as we became better acquainted with the city and its open-hearted people.

Then came the Fourth, with an oldfashioned celebration that carried our minds back to a similar celebration held in a county-seat in eastern Indiana in our boyhood days. We missed the greased pig, greased pole and bag race of former days, but in their place, daylight fireworks, aerial performance, minstrel show, automobile parade very acceptably took their place. The usual country delegation were on the streets by thousands, and their gay attire, happy, animated faces breathed the very atmosphere of good cheer—truly a happy throng who had, for a day, thrown aside the dull cares of everyday life, and were enjoying to the full, the innocent joys of the gala day. The inevitable balloon was much in evidence near the sunset hour, and a successful ascension and parachute drop added to the thrills and the joys of the great throng. We are informed that the daring young man, who so jauntily rode the trapeze up with the balloon and came down in such a fine manner, swinging beneath the great umbrella, is a resident of Rensselaer. But the great event of the day was the ceremonies attending the unveiling of the life-size statue erected to the memory of Gen. Milroy, who so gallantly marched his regiment, the 9th Ind. Vol. Inf., into the Civil War, and at the close of the war, returned to civil life with the mark of Brigadier General. A long line of the old vets of the 9th were present to remind the younger generation of the sacrifices and heroic deeds of our forefathers that we might be, and remain, one nation and a united people. May the heritage thus given be one of our cherished possessions. Good wishes for the well being of good old Rensselaer is the wish of one who has spent a very pleasant day

with her.

Fourteen People Killed as Result of Big Fight

Fourteen persons were killed and scores were injured, many seriously, in fights and race riots as a result of the victory of Jack Johnson over James Jeffries The majority of those killed and injured are negroes. Clashes occurred In Chicago and every other city of size in the United States, from New York to Los Angeles, and from Detroit to the Gulf. Several southern towns were patrolled by troops early Tuesday, and calls for the militia were sent out by others The mob spirit seemed to rise whereever a negro cheered for Johnson after the fight, or permitted his exultation over the victory to grow to an extent that made it offensive.

Negros were chased through the streets of the cities of the south and north. In Uvaldia, Ga, three negroes were killed and five seriously hurt. One was killed and four hurt in Cincinnati.

In New York one had his head fractured by a piece of lead pipe and will die. Only the bravery of a white prevented him from being beaten to death a few doors from Central Park West. Two were killed and another fatally wounded at Mounds. 111. Another was slain at Omaha

Two negros were killed and a third seriously wounded at Emoke, La. Two negroes were shot and killed In Little Rock, Ark. At Roanoke, Va., a white man was probably fatally hurt in an encounter with six negroes. In riots at Shreveport, La., one white man, L. E. Roberts, conductor of an Iron Mountain train, and two negroes were killed. A negro woman was dying early Tuesday of wounds. Negroes were reported to have taken possession of Keystone, W. Va. One man has been killed. .Trpops were sent for. Eight negroes were taken to hospitals to have their injuries treated in Los Angeles, Jeffries’ home town. A negro beaten by a mob in Columbus, 0., was reported dying early Tuesday.
