Fulfilling the democratic law, they will stay as long as there is anything to audit and then file their bills at the rate of $8 each per day, with traveling expenses.

COLORED CHAMP TO QUIT WINDY CITY

Jack Johnson Will Go to Russia t< Fight Pugilist*—Sells Case After License is Refused. Jack Johnson, whose escapades with white women have caused him to make many enemies, will leave Chicago soon to fight several pugilists in Russia. The brewery that stood sponsor for him, refused to procure a license for bis case and this had the effect of putting him out of business. He is reported to have sold the business for |25,000. It is quite probable that he will be held in Chicago for trial, as he has beep indicted by the grand jury for his exploits with white women. Within the last month several things have happened to Johnson. First his wife committed suicide. Then he was arrested for causing the delinquency of a white girl. Then he suffered a country-wide denunciation from the white and black races. Then the promotors of the Australian prize fighting game told him they did not want him and cancelled his proposed bouts. The final chapter came yesterday when he was forced to sell his saloon.

REMINGTONIANS WERE MYSTIFIED

Heard Voices But Could Hec No Sponsors Until Balloon Was Sighted 200 Feet in Air. i Remington Press. Early risers . Sunday morning and some who were not risers at all were greatly mystified by a voice in cold, terrible tones shouting “what town is this?” three times in succession, coming from apparently nowhere. Some of the evil doers about Remington mistook the voice for that of the Angel Gabriel, who they thought was about to blow his trumpet and wanted to be sure of his location, and they hid -themselves more securely under the covers. George Foos is probably the only person who saw the heavenly visitor and solved the mystery. He spotted the voice as coming from the clouds and soon got his eye on a large gray balloon floating slowiy over the town about 200 feet above the -earth. At first he thought it might be she missing balloon man of the horse show, just getting in to fill his appointment. Not so, however. It was just 'the Coon balloon, which left Indianapolis Saturday at 4 n. mv, and in the course of its flight covered over 500 miles, making almost a complete circuit of the state, and landed at Lynn, Pandolph county, at 10:52 Sunday morning.

GOLF PLAYERS ARE AFTER CEDAR LAKE

Tract For 9-Hole Course Being Negotiated For With Motion Officials Urging Scheme. Cedar Lake has seemed for a number of years to have gone almost to the bad. With frequent excursions from Chicago, dumping a class of people of doubtful- morals there for the dance halls and the saloons running wide open seven days in the week, it looked as though all chance of making the beautiful lake a respectable resort had vanished. Now, however, there is a scheme on foot to establish golf links there, which might be the starting point to reclaiming the place for better purposes. The Lake County Star says: Steps are already being taken to organize for a golf club at Cedar Lake, and It is believed it will be an easy matter with the assistance promised at Chicago, Gary, Hammond, Chicago Heights, East Chicago and other places to sell a hundred shares at SIOO per share. Many are favorable at the start. It will be a nine-hole course and be located on the Binyon land between the lake and school house. With the balance a shower bath and locker rooms will be built on the beach. It Is also expected that some cottages will be built for city people in the summer. It is the intention to make it a high class place, and it is expected to bring the lake back to a high standard. Some of the Monon officials have taken a leading part to put the scheme through.

Parrett returned this morning from Oxford, Ohio, where he attended a banquet Wednesday night at Miami college. He did not know the nature of it until he arrived there and then found that it was a bull moose That fact did not scare him away and he enjoyed the affair very much. The address of Judge Langford at the opera house last evening was a stirring republican speech and the audience, which was small, the night being very disagreeable, pronounced it a speech of great excellence. Mr. Langford is a live wire, and, although seventy years of age, he is filled with enthusiasm and he puts spice into his argument and had every one In the audience keyed up to a high pitch of enthusiasm. Glenn Baker, whose right foot was so frightfully mangled by a circular saw at B. D. McColly’s timber camp in Barkley township about two. weeks ago, had the foot amputated one day last week. It became impossible to save enough of the foot to be 6f service and the surgeons decided that it would he very much better to take the foot off just above the ankle. This was done and he is making very satisfactory recovery. Ain artificial foot can be adjusted later and the unfortunate young man will have a very serviceable limb. .

RACING TO START AGAIN SATURDAY

Directors Say That Ponies Will Race Saturday of This Week Unless Soldiers Stop Them. l • *1 Directors of the Mineral Springs racing association say that they Will resume races tomorrow unless the soldiers are there to stop them. A. F. Knotts, the president of the company and the active manager, is quoted as saying that if the governor sends troops to the track again the races will stop but that they will be resumed the moment the troops are withdrawn. He also said that as a special demonstration of humiliation for Governor Marshall he will pull off a “jackass” race and call It the Marshall handicap. There are said to be sixty horses in the stables at the track and the attitude of the race track owners, the horsemen and the Chicago gamblers, is very pugnacious. Another hitch that Knotts has to contend with is the rule of the interstate commerce commission that requires a notice of five days to be posted if special railroad rates are to be made. The races can not draw a Chicago crowd without special trains and special rates. Probably after a period of bluffing Knotts will settle down and be good.

Mrs. Sylvester Gray underwent f double operation at the Rensselaer Hospital yesterday. One operation was for appendicitis and the other for gallstones. One large stone was removed.

Marshall, democratic candidate for vice-president, asked that the big rally planned to take place in Chicago Thursday night be abandoned in respect to the memory of Vice-President Sherman, who, as the republican candidate for vicepresident, was the opponent of Governor Marshall.

TURKS FLEE AFTER DECISIVE DEFEAT

Bnlgarlans Route 200,000 Turks After IFour Days Battle and Wbr May Be Near End. i The war waged against Turkey may be near an end. The Turks were routed Thursday after a four days battle and 200,000 of them are reported to be retreating, after having suffered heavy losses. The war was started only about two weeks ago and the Balkan alliance seems to have quite completely outgeneraled the Turks and it is not improbable that the war will be brought to a close by the powers. Turkey is reported to be ready to sue for peace. The Bulgarian army is reported to be advancing on Constantinople and the powers doubtless want to stop the war in order to prevent the absorption of Turkey by Its foes, Bulgarians whp had come to the United States left in great numbers during the past week for their native country to bear arms against Turkey. It is probable that the war will be at a close before they reach there:
