BACK FROM C0MI10H

Tailenders Were the Guests of the Cowboy Mayor of Omaha. Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Wlsnieswski and Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Healy returned yesterday from Denver. Colo., where they have been attending the democratic convention and both gentlemen have many amusing incidents to relate rewarding their trip to the western city. In all twenty-five democrate attended the convention, but the crowd did not return together, some coming last Friday and others stringing along since then. Mr. Wisnieswski said yesterday that yesterdays party completed the troupe of South Chicago people who were at the convention. Speaking of the trip Mr. Healy said he had enjoyed himself immensely and hoped to be in a porlsitn to make the trip again and that before many months elapsed. Although he was very much taken up with the country, he said he was glad to get back to South Chicago. A feature of the local crowd's trip to the convention was a banquet given in their honor by Jim Dahlman, the cowboy mayor of Omaha, Xeb. Both couple stopped off at Omaha on the return trip and were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Dalhman, who entertained them. Dahlman is now mayor of Omaha and is seeking the nomination for governor on the democratic ticket. According to the local democrats he is about the most genial fellow in the West. TRAIN ROBBER IS SHOT Said He Had to Steal to Keep the Wolf From the Boor. Joe "Wensvski, 28 years old. was shot and seriously wounded yesterday by Herbert Borrnan, a detective employed by the Pennsylvania Railroad company. The shooting followed a burglary In one of the Pennsylvania railroad cars near Grand Crossing, where AVensvskl secured several articles of clothing. Officer Uorma n saw the young man climbing out of the car with his arms full of merchandise and called to him to stop. Wensvski refused and continued to run down the tracks, dodging between cars as the opportunity presented itself. Officer Borman fired several shots in the air, thinking that the man would stop, but when he refused to halt Borman took steady aim and tired three times, one of the bullets taking effect in the man's left side. The injured man was removed to the county hospital where he is under the care of physicians. After probing for several minutes the physician failed to locate the bullet and unless it Is found by today there is immediate danger of blood puisoning. Wensvski told the police he was compelled to steal the clothes that his wife and baby might be properly clothed. The Pennsylvania road has been losing a large amount of merchandise and other articles while in transit and re cently the detectives were given orders t apprehend these men at all hazards.

That Is the Third of the Series Questions Asked. sf This is said to have really happened in a New York public school, and to have nearly cost the "innocent bystander," which happened in this case to be the boys' teacher, her license, her position, and goodness knows what all. One of the members of the board at that time, who spoke with a elight brogue, visited a schoolroom and save out this problem: "If half a gill costs a half a mill, what will a pint cost?" On the back seat a little frecklefaced boy with one front tooth missing scribbled away like mad, then folded his hands and sat up. "Ah," said the board member, "there is a bright little boy who has finished the problem already. Bring me your paper, my little man, and let me see what you have said." The boy came, and "here is what he wrote:" "If a brick hit a Mick, what would fcappa to the brick?"

LAWYERS AT GARY

ARE AMBITIOUS Bar Association Will Begin an Investigation as to Business Done. BRETDH-MARTiN FUSS CLOSED Legal Body of Gary Wants to Have a Superior Court of Its Own Soon. The Bar association of Gary has decided to begin at once an investigation which will reveal the amount of business which Gary sends to the Lake superior court, with the purpose in view of determining whether that amount of business is sufficient to warrant the attorneys in going before the legislature to secure an independent court in Gary. A committee consisting of C. V. Ridgley, H. I". McCracken and E. G. Ballard was appointed to go over the bar docket In Hammond and see what part of the business done by that court comes from the new steel city. .May Appeal to Legislature. If the report of the committee shows that a large proportion of the cases on the docket come from the new steel city an appeal will made to the legislature for a court, this fall. The Gary attorneys realize that the docket at Hammond is overcrowded at the present time and that a change will have to be made. If t lie congestion is relieved by Instituting a continuous court at Crown Point it will eliminate Gary from the consideration for some time to come. The committee which is making the investigation has been asked to make its report as soon as possible, so that a bill can be prepared and be presented to the legislature early in the next session. Kliver to Offer Bill. William H. Kliver, the republican nominee for representative, is from Gary, and as his election is believed by the Gary attorneys to be assured, he will probably be entrusted with Gary's pet measure and will be asked to do all in his power to secure its passage. The matter of the conspiracy charges which were hastily preferred by cer tain members ot the Oary Bar association against Attorneys Harris and Bretsch and Chief of Police Martin were officially disposed of at the meeting last night, and the incident may now be called closed. HOI GUILTY" Whiting Man Refuses to be Classed With Temperance Agitators. Whiting, July 16. (Special) The remonstrance in the Second ward has caused an upheaval which, during the past few days, has caused Messrs. R. Baunigartner and Axel Raiding, whose names were mentioned in connection with circulating the remonstrance, considerable annoyance. Probably no other two men in Whiting have experienced how unpopular a man can become if he is known as an agitator. The fact is, however, that Mr. Raiding claims to be just as innocent of circulating a remonstrance as Mr. Baumgarten was. and any connection made between Mr. Raiding and the temperence agitators is an injustice to him. ifr. Kaiding's position has always been known to his friends and they know that he would not work against the city's interest as he has been accused of. It was from the people that Mr. Raiding was not well acquainted with, that he bumped up against the false accusation of having circulated the petition. Mr. Raiding is employed In the Standard Oil company's office and there holds the respect and esteem of his superiors and fellow workers. NEAR-RIOT TAKES PLACE AT EMERSON SCHOOL TODAY. Gray Folic Are Summoned to Quell a I-nbor Disturbance. Because a gang of twelve foreigners who were put at work at the Emerson school building this morning at Gary to take the places of twelve discharged negroes, trouble was narrowly averted. The colored men started to clean up with the foreigners and a hurry call was sent out for Chief Martin and his men, who upon their arrival, dispersed the negroes without further trougle. MISSISSIPPI CHAUTAUQUA. Crystal Springs, Miss., July 16. With the largest attendance ever recorded early in the season, the Mississippi Chautauqua assembly Is ready for its formal opening this evening. The assembly will continue for a period of ten days. The program is replete with interesting and instructive features. The speakers to be heard include Dr. S. C. Caldwell, Dr. George Summer, Dr. John A. Rrice, Rev. Arthur Gringle, on. Harris Dickson. Dr. J. B. Hutton, and Dr. A. L. Phillips.

RETAIL MERCHANT ASSOCIATION STARTED Gary Business Men Gather Last Night to Discuss Important Business.

PEOPLE TO TRADE AT HOME Will Meet Wednesday Night Elect Permanent Officers and Adopt By-Laws. to The retail merchants of Gary have decided to organize a Retail Merchants' association, notwithstanding the fact that there is already a live Commercial club in Gary which is looking after the civic welfare of the city. The retail merchants met in the shoe store of C. K. Schmidt, at the corner of Fifth avenue and Broadway last evening. The decision to form the association was made after those present had talked over the probable benefits that such an organization would be to the merchants. Temporary Officer Elected. H. H. Highlands was made temporary chairman and C. K. Schmidt was made temporary secretary. A committee was appointed to draw up a constitution and by-laws and this committee will report at a meeting which will be called to order next Wednesday. Wednesday the permanent officers will also be elected. There were thirty-seven members present at the, meeting last evening and the greatest of enthusiasm was manifested. The number of business houses have now Increased in Gary to such an extent that it is necessary for the business men to get together on some kind of a working agreement. The matter of regulating the closing hour will be one of the important matters discussed and also the matter of clerk hire and preventing the overdoing of the practice of soliciting the merchants for charity contributions. "Trade In finry" the Slogan. The matter of Inducing the people of this city to trade in Gary instead of Chicago will also bo an important matter which will come up for consideration at the coming meetings. It is the hope of the Gary merchants that the new association will be a big factor in the business and commercial life of the city. They are determined to avoid the narrow mlndedness and self-interest which frequently characterizes an organization of this kind and they look forward to a bright future. NOTABLES TO BE AT QUEBEC. Quebec, July 16. A list of distln guished guests who are to be In this city during the coming week on the occasion of the great celebration of the tercentenary of the founding of Quebec, would read like pages extracted from the "Almaanch de Gotha" and the "Statesman's Year Book." First and foremost, of course, will be the prince of Wales, who will be accompanied by a brilliant staff, so that none of the pomp and ceremony of the British court will be missing. After his royal highness, the most popular visitor to Quebec will probably be General Ird Roberts, the hero of the Boer war and probably the most popular man in the British army. The lTnited States will be officially represetned by a party headed by Vice President Charles W. Fairbanks and which will include a number of prominent army and naval officers. The government of the French republic will be represented by Vice Admiral .Taureguiberry ; I. S. Herbertte, councillor of state, and J. De Doynes consul-general in Canada. Other visitors of note will include Karl Dudley, the duke of Norfolk, Earl Ranfurly, Sir Alfred Iyttleton. the marchioness of Donegal, lird Jx)vat. and Sir Henry de Villiers. The prominent officials and other men of note from all the provinces of Canada have been invited to attend the celebration and hundreds of them have accepted the Invitation. Military organizations from every part of the Dominion will be in attendance and there will also be present a number of semimilitary and civic organizations from the Fnited States. A special detachment of the northwestern mounted police will stive as a bodyguard to the prince of Wales during his visit to the city. Warships belonging to the navies of Great Britain. France and the United States will fill the harbor of Quebec during the celebration. Several of the warships have already reached there and others are expected before the end of the week. The crowd during the week will be by far the largest that has ever assembled in any city in Canada. All of the hotel accommodations were reserved weeks ago and the boarding houses likewise have booked all of the guests they can accommodate. But the hotels and boarding houses will take care of only a small proportion of the celebration visitors. Private residences will accommodate hundreds and countless others will be quartered in the tented city, which will be one of the unique features of the celebration. As on all such occasions it is expected that the city will be the meeea for pickpockets and other varitles of criminals who aro always attracted where the crowd is largest. The local authorities are taking every precaution to protect the visitors from these gentry. The local police and detective force wfll be more than doubled nevt week and will have the assistance of leading detectives from Montreal, New 4Tork, Chicago and other large cities.

VICTORY COSTS

I! i Mrs. Charles E. Ill as Result Huddleson of Shock After Entering House. SENSATION IN EVICTION CASE Steel Company's Watchmen Are Are Arrested and Placed Under $50 Bond3. Charles E. Duddleson, the ousted tenant of one of the Gary Land company's houses, who by a ruse regained possession still holds the fort. It was understood vesterdav that Huddleson would in turn be arrested like the steel j company watchman, as a trespasser, but the sudden illness of Huddleson's wife apparently made that plan useless. It is not likely therefor in the light of the recent developments that any more rash means will be resorted to by either of the parties involved. Watchmen Are Arretted. The steel company watchmen who were arrested are: Pontus Heintz, AVil11am Douglass, Arba Blake, Richard El wood, William M. Long and Bertram F. Bowser. All of the above were placed under $")0 bonds signed by John A. Brennan, the druggist. The cases were then brought before Judge Fitzgerald, before whom a change of venue was taken to Judge Westergreen of Miller. The charge of tresspass, will then anull the case which is now pending before Judge Reiland at East Chicago. In the encounter yesterday when Mrs. Huddleson broke the window of the house with the corner of a screen, she seriously strained herself and has been confined to her bed since that time. Bertram Bowser also had a narrow escape from the falling glass and suffered somewhat from the shock, but aside from this there are no other casualties reported from the afray. 0ECI0E ONJE COURSE Lowell and Crown Point Business Men Hold Meeting Last Night.

AFTER THEJD HOMEY Police Send For United States Officer to Investigate Conditions at Gary. The police of Gary are determined to ferret out the "shovers of the queer" in the city. Ten more phoney halfdollars were rounded up yesterday among the business men, and the authorities are confident that someone In Gary is both making the "queer" and passing it. A United States marshal was summoned today from Indianapolis to follow up some clues that have been obtained. The police here believe that the bills which have been raised from $1 to $10 are also the work of counterfeiters. JOIX THE AnMT WHO HAVE THIED TIMES WAST ADS AD HAVE V FOUND THEM WASTING.
