Thirty-two pages are taken up with industrial news of the Calumet region. Yesterday was the sixth anniversary of the birth of Gary. The rise of the steel city from the sand dunes, swamps, scrub pines, and jack oaks, to its present attainment, is now a matter of world-wide knowledge and is the marvel of the industrial world. The damp cold of Wednesday and Thursday proved too much for professional baseball players and most of the big league games were dispensed with. Indianapolis, of the American Association, has not won a game yet.The once famous Chicago Cubs are at the bottom of the National league and the mighty Pirates are next to thebottom. It looks like a great amount of early dope is going wrong and that some permanent hopes are to be shattered before the season is far advanced. .-

Encampment, which will be held at South Bend May 21-23. * Headquarters will be at the Oliver hotel. The parade has been set for Wednesday, May 22, at 2 o’clock, to"be in charge of David Strouse, of Rockville, chief of the staff, with J. W. Clemson, of Crawfordsville, as chief bugler. Camp fires will be held each evening. The annual election will be held at 8:30 o’clock Thursday evening, may 23. H. M. Trimble, national commander, will attend the encampment one day, but the exact date has not been determined. Music wijl be supplied by the band from the State Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Orphans’ Home* at Knights town. Commander Waugh has announced the appointment of Louis LaDauer of Valparaiso, and Jacob Sheffer, of Williamsport, as aides on the commander’s staff. / Robert Tota, of Chicago, and Richard Gilmore, who enlisted at Davenport, la., surrendered themselves to the police at Streator, 111., Wednesday, as deserters from the United' States Navy. They left their ship, the Franklin, in Portsmouth harbor seven days ago. - V-.-Assistant Station Agent Don Beam,, while working at the depot yesterday afternoon, let a trunk fall on the index finger of his right hand, inflicting a very painful wound. The first Joint of the finger was greatly'awelled and it was thought the bone had been crushed, but an examination by a local physician showed the bone to be intact. Aside from tearing ihe finger nail loose and causing Don,.to lose a whole sleep, nothing serious resulted. He will be forced to leave his work for a few days. It was John N. Burns, of Kentland, who was found dead in the lumber yard at Morocco last Sunday. The coroner rendered a verdict of death from heart failure but were strong indications of suicide. Burns was born near Medaryville 32 years ago and had lived with his brothers on the Isaac Speck farm since he was 5 years old. He seems to have been wandering around some and bumming his way oh the railroad and probably was disconsolate. A Barkley township lady, who modestly requested that her name -be not mentioned, recalls that the winter ago was almost identical through and that it followed a Very dry summer and was followed by a cold and wet spring. There was serious seed corn difficulty and -many farmers procured seed from Kansas and Nebraska and the Kansas seed produced a healthy stock but the corn did not mature. The Nebraska seed produced a smaller corn but it ripened much better.. The seed corn difficulty extended over a period of several years, owing to the fact that the corn did not ripen. Accotdjng to this lady’s recollection the ground dijj not warm up until late that year. She mentioned particularly that on the 12th of May a drizzling cold rain fell, again chilling the soil and retarding the planting of lady believes that it would be wise-to order seed corn from the north and prepare for a similar condition to that of thirty years ago. , k;. £ ■ Butter wrappers, any quantity, plain or printed, may be bad at the Republican office.

Good Sized Audience Enjoyes Entertainment at Church.

The hand concert and musical given last night at the M. E. church under the auspices of the M. E. Epwortb League, was a source of much enjoyment to t'aose who were fortunate enough to have attended. A good audience was in attendance and the program as rendered, which was composed mostly of selections by the boys’ band, was most pleasing. A selection from “Bright Eyes,” sung by Paul Miller, proved to be a feature of the evening and he finally responded to the generous encore with the chorus of “Melody of Love.” Another number which brought doVn the audience in a round of applause was the whistling of Don Wright, accompanied by the band in the short overture, “Folks up Willow Creek.” The recefots were very satisfactory, two-thirds of which went to the band, the other third to the M. E. Epworth League.

NO REASON FOR IT.

You Are Shown the Way Out. There can be no Just reason why any reader of this will continue to suffer the tortures of an aching back,, the annoyance of urinary disorders, the dangers of serious kidney ills when relief is so near at hand and the most positive* proof given that these ills can be cured. The following is convincing proof: Phillip Parcells, N. Illinois St, Monticello, Ind., says: “I can recommend Doan’s Kidney Pills as being a most effective remedy for kidney compfSlnt. I used two boxes of Doan’S Kidney Pills and the results were gratifying. Off and on during the past year, I was subject to attacks of backache and I also had trouble from too frequent passages of the kidney secretions. After experimenting with.various remedies and receiving no lasting benefit I ■ learned of Doan’s Kidney Pills. Their use cured me and I.have since recommended them to any other peo> pie who in turn have used them with saisfactory results.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.'
