The city pumping station has been having serious difficulty In pumping enough water during the hot, dry weather of the last few weeks. This has resulted mainly from the wanton waste of the water by many of the patrons. In many cases water has been allowed to run night and day from hose, notwithstanding the city ordinance making it unlawful to use the water for sprinkling purposes, except during certain hours. In case of a fire during this hot weather, the department would experience considerable difficulty in finding enough water to fight the The «»ity council is discussing how to prevent the misuse of the water privilege, and may decide to prosecute some of the violaters of the ordinance unless the waste ceases.

Harvest hands like good strong coffee. Get Starr’s home roasted and you will be sure to please them.

Automobile Turns Turtle While on Way to Ade Dance.

The Mrs. M. B. Alter automobile turned turtle while on the way to the Ade dance Monday night, and three of the passengers received injuries of a slight nature. The accident happened just before the car reached Ade. The car contained the driver, Hugh Kirk, Merle Porter, Belle Laßue and Edna Hauter. The night was dark from the approaching storm and* the lamps had gone out a few minutes before the accident happened. The car came to a turn In the road and the driver, thinking the turn was in the opposite direction, turned the wrong way. He saw his mistake before the car struck the fence, and In turning suddenly to avoid running into the fence, the car was overturned It was a covered car, and this no doubfl. prevented more serious accident. The only injury suffered by the car was the breaking of the glass in front. Help came out from Ade and the car was righted and proceeded on to its destination. Mr. Porter had a finger dislocated and elbow scratched; Miss Hauter had her arm bruised, and Miss Laßue received a black eye. The accident happened about nine o’clock.

Garland Finishes Sixteenth in State Rifle Competition.

Captain Geo. H. Healey and Sergeants Jerry B. Garland-and Don P. Warren returned this morning from the Fort Benjamin Harrison rifle range, where they have been for the past eleven days, the former as a range officer, Garland as a rifleman and Warren in charge of the rifltf pit detail. Garland done some very remarkable shooting and was only 9 points behind making the team that will represent Indiana at the national match at Camp Perry, Ohio. After making the third regimental team, Garland was one of 90 to shoot for the state team and then the 28th man in the 36 high to enter the elimination match for the Selection of the highest 24. He Just got in as the 24th man in this shoot and entered the final contest for the selection of the team of 15. He finished as the 16th man, only 9 points behind the 15th place. Monday in the expert’s match he ran a skirmish of ’93 points, which is only 7 short of the possible score and is the next highest skirmish made in Indiana this year. Sergeant Haynes, of Franklin, an old rifleman, made one skirmish of 94 points. 1 In the 800 yard tyro match Garland was fifth with a score of 47 out of a possible 50, and in the expert’s match he was sixth with a, total of 381 out of a possible 400, making an expert’s straight score at every range from 200 to 1,000 yards. His firing was regarded the most brilliant of any first year rifleman in the state and his total score in the expert’s match this year was 8 points higher than the score made last year by Lieutenant Basil Middleton, of Connorsville, who was the winner in 1909. There is every reason to expect that Garland will be one of the best riflemen in Indiana in 1911, when he hopes to win the governor’s medal, which is competed for annually. Sergeant John B. Gangloff, who has generally exceeded Garland in the local matches, got a bad start in the regimental match this year and did not remain for the state competition, although he was only 17th map in the regiment. Corporal Harrison Timmons was twentieth in the same match. Both are first-class riflemen and can figure in future competitions with practice.

Refuses to Obey Grandmother; Has Him Before Judge Hanley.

John Peterson, the young son of Beech Peterson, was before Judge Hanley this afternoon on complaint of his grandmother, Mrs. Richeson. The boy’s mother is dead and he" has been making his home with his grandmother during the absence of Mr. Peterson in Kansas City. The grandmother complained that the boy would not mind her and asked to have the court take him in charge under the juvenile court law. The sheriff found the boy climbing a tree to escape him and took him in charge. The case was continued until July 21st and the clerk was instructed to communicate with his father in the meantime, explaining the circumstances to him, and advising him to look after his son. The boy is no worse than hundreds of others and all he seems to lack is a home with proper surroundings. Mr. Peterson has been in Kansas City for some time working at his trade of painting. Some 'time ago he was knocked down by an automobile and has not yet fully recovered from his injuries.

Tobacco Trust Raises Prices Three to Four Cents a Pound.

Tobacco merchants have been notified that the price of all varieties of smoking and chewing tobaccos had gone up three and four cents a'pound on wholesale lots. This will probably mean an even larger increase to the retail trade. Package smoking tobaccos that contained one and two-third ounces to the five cent package are’now to have but an ounce and a. half. This means about one more package will be necessary to make a pound than under the old plan. The cause of the increase is given out as the new internal revenue law, which went into effect July Ist, adding two cents additional revenue to the pound, making an increase of four or five cents a pound to the consumer.

General “Clean Up” Follows The Newark Lynching.

Newark, Ohio, July 11.—Before he had been in office an hour this evening, J. N. Ankle, the vice-mayor elevated to the office of chief executive of Newark, following the suspention of Mayor Herbert Atherton by Governor Hhrmon, had< summarily removed Chief of Police Zergeibel and Police Captain Robert Bell. He gave as his grounds for the removal the non-enforcement of the county option law which resulted in the. lynching of Detective Carl Etherington Friday night. He appointed in their stead Charles Hindel, a former deputy sheriff, as chief, and patrolman Charles S. Wank as captain. He gave them orders to commence the immediate enforcement of all laws to the letter. As soon as the new police officials had assumed office they caused the arrest of a second negro, who fs held in connection with the Friday riots. Vance Mopre, of Zanesville, is alleged to have struck Carl Etherington, the raider, who was lynched, Just prior to the fatal shooting of William Howard. Moore is the second colored rioter arrested, Levi Valentine, a colored mjate, having been arrested in the afternoon.

Mayor Atherton upon a receipt of a telegram from Governor Harmon late this afternoon, immediately over his office to Ankel. He will of course put up a defense, he declared. “I have a witness who will testify that the local raiders refused to file charges against the speak easies' with me because they do not want me to have the credit of cleaning up the town. I will not step down tamely.”

Another Book By Mrs. Margaret Hill McCarter.

Mrs. Margaret Hill McCarter, a former teacher in the Rensselaer public schools before her marriage, is to publish another book this fall, which is to be her crowning effort\as an authoress. The title of the book is io be “The Price of the Prairie.” This is a story of Kansas, and the conflict of the whites and Indians, culminating 1n... the famous Osage massacre, which is most ’graphically described. Combined with the thrilling story of frontier strife is a gentle, love story and some remarkably poetic descriptions of the glamour and shiiar.ier of the plains before the coming of civilization blotted it out. While the story is primarily fiction it is based on historical events and into it are woven such famous characters as Gen. Phil Sheridan, Gen. Custer, Col. Forsythe, Lieut. Fred Beecher and many others.

Hunter’s Paradise to Be Platted Into Town Lots.

Orders were given Monday to plat 1,700 acres belonging to the Tolleston Gun club, of Chicago, near Gary, into 16,000 city lots. The land, originally purchased for |17,000, is now, through the building of Gary, valued at $2,000,000. It is owned by wealthy Chicagoans and was at one time a hunting paradise. Many bloody battles were fought between club watchmen and poachers. Five lives were lost in this way. The big club house was in bygone days the scene of brilliant social gatherings from Chicago at spring and fall shootings. Wolves, pelicans and wildcats were shot in the perserves in former days.
