Puzzle of Domicile.

lived in four different counties and

yet moved his residence only once.

That seems a puzzle, but it is quite

simple. He was born and reared in

himself in Harnett. Afterward he moved to Moore county, and when the county of Lee was formed a few

months ago he found that he was re

at such a program. They did not want to see the day turned into a debauch

and they refused to support the Ham

mond men or provide them with the

grounds.

'Loveridge and Evans were not to be

defeated in their purposes, however, for they went south of Gary and se

cured a strip- of ground where they proposed to hold the picnic anyway. "When the investigating committee

found how things had been bawled up they started to interviewing the business men of the city. It was not long before they discovered that the Gary business men would do everything in

their power to help the labor unions make a success of the Labor Day celebration, if it should be properly con

ducted.

"The delegates from the Building Trade council went about repairing the damage which had already been done. In a short time the business men had donated nearly $500 f or , the celebration. "The Gary Iand company donated the use of section 10, which is located right

in Gary at Thirteenth street and Broadway. It agreed to light the grounds free of charge and to pay $50 towards the success of the undertaking.

MANY LIBERAL DOTATIONS. "The Gary Commercial club gave $100, the Gary Business Men's association, $50 and the saloon men who were very angry at the stand Loveridge

and Evans had taken, donated $100. There were many other donations promised." It also developed that Loveridge and Evans had antagonized everybody they met until they were personae non gratae in Gary. They accused Captain H. S. Norton of being unfair to the unions, when Norton built 595 houses

in Gary and hired union labor on every one of them. Not only that, but Norton has never refused to remove a man whom the unions asked him to remove because he was unfair. Several small meetings were held

among the union men of Gary In which Loveridge and Evans denounced William H. Kllver, the republican candidate for joint representative, as being not worthy of the support of the Lake county unions'! GARY rNIONISTS ANGRY. This greatly angered the Gary union men for they have the greatest re

spect for Mr. Kllver and point not only to the fact that he is square, but had the honor of being the first international president of the Carpenter's union. Last night the fight came out in the joint meeting of the Building Trades and Labor councils. It was a bitter fight, but the element in the unions which stands for fair and square deal

ing and honesty in unionism won out and only a fragment of the union men in this city will go to "Pat's Park."

Not only will the twenty-two unions in the Building Trades go to the Gary, but there will be a number of the locals in the Trades and Labor council and twenty ' Chicago locals which will go to Gary.

Decatur, 111., Aug. 12. In Macon county the republicans nominated Preston T. Hicks for surveyor, giving him a majority of 1,501 over George

V. Loring, who had held the office for thirty-nine years and was regarded as unbeatable. And thereby hangs a tale of new

political methods, the efficacy of advertising, and another demonstration that all the world loves a lover. Early in the campaign a local news

paper published a story to the effect

that Mr. Hicks' marriage this fall depended upon his scoring a victory at

the polls. After the story had been absorbed by the voters, Mr. Hicks'

f riendsflooded the county with neatly printed cards which bore in large letters, "Boost Hicks," and following in

smaller type was the line, "You know why.". There were other placards of similar portent, and their effect on the voters is shown in Mr. Hicks' big

majority. He will shortly marry Miss Freida Ruebsamen. She did say that she would not marry Mr. Hicks unless

he waa victorious, but It was said "only in fun." The nomination in this county is considered equivalent to an election.
