Gary Real Estate Board, at One of Series of Lunch eons Yesterday Discussed Prohl firms Vital to the Town Mayor Attends. CIVIC AND OFFICIAL . BOOIESJRMOHIZE Sentiment Is Experienced in Favor of Extending Corporation Territory Southward Annexation Would Bring Toleston Gun Club's Grounds Under Control of City. Another of the series of luncheons held by the Gary real estate board took place yesterday afternoon in their rooms in the Gary hotel. Aside from the social feature of the meeting sev eral matters of interest were discussed by the members, of vital interest, to. themselves and the town. The luncheon was enthusiastic In spite of the comparatively small attendance and much good was accomplished. FttsKerald Presides. President William H. Fitzgerald called the meeting at 1 o'clock and dinner was served at once. Immediately after the matter of public improvements was taken up, and the board was favored with a talk on the subject by Mayor Knotts, from the viewpoint of the city officials. Mr. Knotts pointed out why certain improvements were made, explained the advantage of them, the quality, and other interesting facts concerning the improvements. These remarks were followed up by other members of the organization on the subject, and all of them seemed satisfied with the public improvements that have been made. It was also the consensus of opinion that the board should -fake a more active interest in matters of city administration so that they might express their views in the matter, as well as lend their ideas on various matters under consideration. Annexation Question. The next order of business was the annexation of ceMain property south of the Calumet river. Property owner's in that section, including T. W. Englehardt, T. E. Knotts, Louis Meketinskl and "others, spoke in favor of the annexation. Their object in ad ding the strip to Gary, it seemed, was to place the land of the Toleston Gun club under the jurisdiction of the city j so that they would be able to condemn it for the widening of Broadway south of the river, and secure the necessary property to widen the street to the width of the proposed street. Petitions Expected. This movement, which has been agitated for some time, has come up before the board for the past two meetings and nothing officially has been done about it, to determine the sense of the board. It is likely, however, that a petition will be presented to the town board in the near future by the property owners of the south end, asking that the town make application to the county commissioners for the additional territory. Both Trustee Caldwell and Mayor Knotts seem in favor of the movement at the present time, so that if the petition is presented, it seems sure of passage through the town board at the present time. Have Little Chance. In the long run idola have no chance In this country, whether they be heathen or popular. N. Y. Mail.

Its discovery one year ago, posl&nv Che new skin remedy, has, In lta extraordinary accomplishments, exceeded the most sanguine expectations of the eminent specialist who gave it to the world. It has cured thousands of cases of eczema and eradicated facial and other diefhjuTement of years' standing. The terrible Itching attending eorema is stopped with the first application, giving proof of its curative properties at the' very outset. In less serious skin affections, such as pimples, rash, herpes, bl&okheada, acne, barber's Itch, etc, results show after an avemight application only a small quantity being required to effeot a cure.

Splendid Time and So Does Mr. Krill.

East Chicago, Ind., Aug. 11. (Special.) The farewell social session given Saturday night to Brother Pete Krill, who left Sunday for Fort Wayne, was a grand success. The table was arranged in the shape of a T. The toastmaster, William Hale, sat the the lower end, with G. ,M. Foland, the present exalted ruler, facing him, and the past exalted rulers on either side of Mr. Foland. It is sufficient to understand that the Elks were giving the afTair, to know that the table was loaded down with everything appetizing and delicious. Mr. Hale made an Ideal toastmaster. Mose Silverman, on behalf of a number of Mr. Krill's friends, presented him a number of his friends go around him and convinced ing was as pai leg as it was to be very wrong for him to continue. The point being well taken. Mack said he would make a speech instead. Everybody pleased. Mack makes a good speech. Other speakers who testified to the high esteem in which Mr. Krill always had been and always would be held by them, were John J. Sullivan, J. D. Williams, George W. Lewis, William J. Jenkins, Jack Evans and others. There were fifty present, among whom were twelve or fifteen personal inenaa ui jur.

Should Taft be elected, according to Mr. Ross, he will have the senate and the house with him. He will be able to use the big stick of nublic oninion with much greater effectiveness. There will be a certainty that there will be advanced legislation and the Interests MY. Ross says that while the odds are in favor of Taft s election there are many things which make the outcome this fall very uncertain. "There is not a man in the rnited States today who has the great personal following that Bryan has." To illustrate." said Mr. Ross. "The other day the Press Club of Chicago was entertaining a literary light at a banquet in their club rooms. Bryan, who is a member of the club, walked In uninvited and unannounced. The members of the Press club include both republicans and democrats and yet when that man entered the banquet hall his personality was so great that it dominated the whole gathering. He made an extemporaneous speech. at the invitation of the members, which showed him to be a master of the Eng lish language and the prepared ad dress of the guest of honor was fiat in comparison. MAS DIFFERENT FOLLOWING. Roosevelt has a large following but it Is not the personality of the man that attracts. Roosevelt personally is rath er repellant than attractive but he is the idol of the people because his Ideas and his policies are those which appeal o the common people. Bryan s personality and the fact In spite of two defeats he is still the peerless leader of his party, the oppo sition of the interests to a progressive republican policy are going to cut a big figure In the coming campaign and the result, in my mind, is still in doubt." Mr. Ross is a republican. RAILROAD HAS ITS FIRST ACCIDENT.

Dr- T- B- Templln of the Gary board of health is getting after the manufacturers of pop whose bottling works have been found to be in an unsanl , .... A most flagrant violation of the pure food low resulted in the arrest of Ike Rosen of the Gary Bottling works, last Saturday. Dr. Templin found that Ro sen was using surface water In the manufacture of his pop, and that the shop was not only a filthy place, but the battles were not properly steril ized before they were used. Canes Continued. The case came up for trial yester day, but it was continued until Thursday. The preliminary hearing was be fore Judge Huber. Dr. Templin will. in the meantime, have an analysis of the pop made by the chemists of the state board of health, and this will be relied upon to prove the unsanitary conditions under which the red soda Is manufactured. Only recently A. Wenber, who was the proprietor of another Gary bottling works, was notified that he would be arrested if he did not improve the senltatlon around his plant, and he preferred to go out of business.

It was a red-hot day la July that the colonel was riding horseback along a highway and found a man dead beside the road. He hurried on to the nearest house and found that the owner was one of the county coroners. The man rallied four or five neighbors and proceeded to view the body, and they were not five minutes in returning a verdict of sunstroke. "But there was no medical examina tion of the body, protested the colonel. "No, but you see work is driving with us and we can't spare the time to fool around," answered the coroner. "But I don't think he died of sunstroke." "No? Then we'll change the verdict to froze to death and let it go at that!" A Motor 8ervile. With sMght modification the boy's criticism in his essay on the horse might be applied to the motor-omnibus namely, that "the horse is a noble animal, but he does not always do so." The motor-omnibus Is the servant of vast numbers of people, but it is sometimes allowed to behave in a manner which is objectionable.

Fast Chicago, Ind., Aug. 11. "You are drunk; better go home and sober up." "You are drunk, too; you better go home and sober up," were some of the pyrotechnics that were displayed at the Fast Chicago council meeting last night. The remarks about sobriety were passed between City Attorney J. D. Kennedy and Alderman Wleklinski. The council used up all the evening from 8 o'clock until 11:30 to accept a final estimate of the city engineer for the Alder street main sewer. The es timate was placed at $260,280. The council, having been in such a shape that no other business could be trans acted, a postponed meeting will be held this evening to give the property own ers a chance to file a remonstrance. Results from Argument. The reparte between the city attor ney and Alderman Wleklinski was the outgrowth of an argument in which both won. The ownership of Aldls avenue In Indiana Harbor was being discussed and Attorney Kennedy gave it as his opinion that the city owned the street in fee simple. To this Wleklinski ob jected, saying that the attorney had given a different opinion some time ago about the street. Wleklinski was ruled out of "order by Mayor De Brlae, but the alderman paid no attention to the mayor and his rul ings. Since the alderman would not sit down he was left to talk while the council continued with its busi ness. Application for the vacancy on the school board were filed, the following applications having been made: Dr. A. G. Schlieker, Richard Howel, F. J. Fife and William Jeppson.
