The races this year will be better than ever before, and as the bills state, "At previous fairs the racing department has been a great feature. The golden Jubilee races will be faster than ever. A large entry is now assured." One of the features of the fair will be' a grand stock parade. '"Lake county," as the advertisements state, "stands pre-eminently on the highest pinnacle in the breeding of high class live stock.

A tank of water four feet deep and four feet wide will be covered with several gallons of gasoline. This will be ignited and then Diavolo will dive into it. How he will get out of the tank without burning his hide will have to be figured out by those who see the stunt. Many Fine Features. In addition to this great feature the Carson brothers, acrobatic champions, will 'do some mystifying acts. Alvo's aerial bar experts will be another attraction of a similar nature. Wheeler and Rosey, comedy bicycle and unicyclists, will do some daring and funny stunts on wheels. Barnie Young and his concert band will provide music for the fair and this feature is not the least of the many others which will go to make the fair this year one of the most remarkable that has ever been held in this county.

BRYAN'S NAME GETS BLACKBALL (Continued from page 1.1 ber of members since the charter was closed. The organization has been prospering from the time of its Inception, bui the growth and its activity in the past few months has been un paralleled. It is thought that their great success with the opening of the Gary harbor had much to do with the desire for the business men of the region to become members. PLENTY OF MONEY LEFT. The remarkable fact about the cele bration is that after all of bills for the advertising of the fete has been paid for, the club will still have in their treasury nearly $1,000, which shows remarkable healthy financial condition There was $734 in the treasury before the celebration and at that tin; so many desired to Join that the expenses will be more than paid for. This re port opened the eyes of the members who did not realize themselves how their financial condition stood. Homer J. Carr, chairman of the en tertainment committee, made the re port for his committee on the celebra tion, after which a vote of thanks was offered to Mr. Carr and President Cap tain Norton for the efforts to make the event a success. THANKS HAMMOND MEN A vote of thanks was also given to the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern railroad for the use of their coaches, and to the C, L. S. & E. for transport ing them to their destination: also to A. M. Turner and John E.

Hegeivisch and the East Side roused from their sleep last night by the reverberatinK sound of an explosion which as, watt found later, was due to dynamite having been touched off under the partially completed Ken sington & Eastern railroad bridge over the Calumet river at One iaundred and Thirty-third street. The cement and iron structure. which was only half completed, is a total wreck today, with huge pieces of cement and large pieces of bent Iron lying about in great confusion. Non-l'nlon Men Employed. The bridge was being erected for the Kensington & Eastern railroad by the American Bridge company, which is said to have employed non-union men. The dastardly work of seeting off dynamite under the structure 1 thought to have been the work of some one unfriendly toward non-union men No other good cause can be given why the structure should have been destroyed. Two night watchmen who were in little shanties close to the bridge were hurled from their bunks, while their sheds fell together. The men themselves landed several feet away from their sleeping places but fortunately they were uninjured with the exception of a bad scare and a few scratches. One of the men, Ado'.ph Bernhardt lives at 359 Moss avenue, in Pullman. Tho--other, Thomas O'Connor, lives at 6Q4 East Seventy-second street. Both men agree that they saw nothing suspicious. At 12 o'clock they made the rounds and found everything quiet. They retired to their bunks for a nap when at 1:30 this morning they were hurled bodily from their beds Make Invention! Ion. When they got their w;its together they got up on their feet and called for each other. Fearing another ex plosion, they were afraid to move about for a time. After a time, however, they laid aside their fears and made an investigation, with no results or without rinding the perpetrator of the crime. The bridge which was destroyed is of the bascule type and was a hand some structure, though still incom plete. Massive cement piles formed the abuttments, and heavy iron work Joined them. The bridge spans the Grand Calumet river at One Hundred and Thirty-third street, near Hegewisch. Bridjce of Bascule Type. The bridge which was destroyed las night Is part of the construction work that the Kensington & Eastern Railroad company is doing toward building a line from. Kensington to the state line to connect with the Chicago, Lake Shore & South Bend interurban railroad. The police of South Chicago have been notified of the deed and detectives are working on the case now and hope to land the responsible parties. One Thing Certain When the late Francois Coppee -was elected to the academy, he told his friend, Theodore de Banville, that he wished he were in, too. Banville declined to canvass. "Suppose your nomination were brought one fine morning on a silver salver." "I don't know what I should do with the nomination," said Banville, "but I should certainly keep the salver."

- , ' 1 ' I 10 HELP 1 Gary Banks Seek to Relieve Them of Cashing Their Pay Checks. The members of the Merchant's asso ciation of Gary, met last night and took up the matter of providing a means for the worklngmen to cash their checks in the banks on pay day, thereby relieving them of the responsibility of cashing checks. E. C. Simpson, cashier of the First National Bank and J. W. Hay, cashier of the Gary State Bank, appeared be fore the members of the association and listened to their proposition to have the banks kept open on the even ing on pay day. The pay days occur on the 10th and 24th of each month and on the evening of these days It was suggested that If the banks would keep open from 5:30 to 7:30 p. m., it would give the work lngmen a chance to get their money. Would Facilitate Matters. They would then be in a position to do their trading at the various stores in town with greater facility and it is figured that there would be more money saved if the workingman could deposit part of his earnings as soon as he got them. The matter will be tak?n up by the officials of the banks In Gary and it Is probable that some arrangement of this kind will be made. It would be an advantage all around In the opinion of the merchants and would be a great help to those who deal with the worktngmen. .The matter of a labor day celebration was taken up and the executive committee of the association was authorized to confer with the representn.tlv-s of the labor unions with the idea of determining what the merchants can do to make the celebration a success. 52,000 T0JS0F BAILS Illinois Central Places Order With Steel Company at South Chicago. The receipt of specifications by the United States Steel corporation from the Illinois Central railroad company for 52,000 tons of rails was the central figure of last week's transactions. This tonnage will be distributed between the mills of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Bailroad company and the Illinois Steel company, 42,000 tons of open hearth being awarded to the former, and 10,000 tons of Bessemer to the Illinois Steel company. No new orders for steam rails of noteworthy tonnage have been ordered since the first of this month but everything looks like the month of August would be a prosperous one, considering the existing conditions. The tonnage of light rails booked for last month was exceeded that of all pievious months this year. Little new business in spikes and bolts is reported by the steel corporation officials. Specifications against recent con tracts are being literally furnished. Luminous Fish.

(Special) It is said that property owners adjacent to the county jail property on East street will petition the commis sioners, who are holding an extra session today, to. change the frontage of the new barn to be built there. The structure is to be built facing north, as the plans show, and the property owners will endeavor to persuade the commissioners to , face the front to the east, '.hereby' enhancing as much as possible the unsightly structure that is a detriment to the residence property. The property owners along East street are highly indignant on account of the barns that are built along the street line on that thoroughfare. and It is said a petition will be made to the town board for an ordinance prohibiting the further construction

A VERY B0LDBUR6LARY Intruder is Scared Away by a Woman's Screams Is Arrested. One of the boldest burglaries of the season occurred yesterday afternoon when Mike Hayes, whose address is unknown, entered the home of Miss Katie Murphy, 8703 Buffalo avenue, and stole a small watch and but for the fact that Miss Murphy caught him in the act he would probably haveimade a still larger haul, as It was she heard the man prowling in the rear of her home and running inthe room discovered the man, she ran out through the front door screaming for help. Officers Tracy and Lynch were detailed on the case and succeeded in landing their man who was about to enter a saloon on Buffalo avenue. Hayes was taken to the station where he was booked upon a charge of burglary. He refused to admit that he was in the Murphy home but as the watch was found in one of his pockets and Miss Murphy positively identifies him there is little chance but what he is the right man. Hayes will be given a hearing this morning before Municipal Judge Torrison. Many Work at Night. Careful estimation shows that in New York city there are 251,000 nigh workers.
