Five Bands Have Been Secured to Aid in Making Labor Day Celebration One of Biggest City Ever Held in Its History.

WORK OUT SOME IAL Five Thousand Visitors Are Expected On That Day and the United States Steel Corporation Is Working Hand in Hand With the Labor Organizations. The plana for the Labor Day celebration at Gary are progressing; nicely. Five bands have been secured and everything points to one of the best celebrations that labor has ever held in this region. The merchants in Gery are entering Into the spirit of the occasion and all of the larger mercantile establishments have promised to have floats In the parade. Some original ideas have been worked out and it is expected that the parade will be the most unique and interesting that has ever been seen in Lake county. People Have Taken Hold. The people of Oary have taken hold of the Labor Day celebration in the Fame thorough manner that has characterized them in everything else that has been done In Gary. Captain II. S. Norton, who is close to to th3 railroads which run through Gary, has taken up the matter of secrring excursion trains and is practically assured that there will be special rates on all of the principal roads. It is hoped that there will be 5.000 strangers in Gary on Mnday the seventh of September and from present indications the number of visitors will be enormous. There will not only be a large number of people from Hammond, Whiting and East Chicago but the cities of Crown Point. Chesterton, Hobart and Valparaiso are expected to take this opportunity to visit the new steel city. City In Gala Attire. All of the stores on Broadway will be decorated for the occasion and the whole city will be in gala attire. That the building of Oary, in which thousands of laboring men have been employed, has progressed thus ,far without a single labor disturbance of any consequence indicates that capital and labor in Gary are co-operating for their mutual benefit and the fact that a great

success is of special significance. Handbills and large posters announcing the Gary Labor Day celebration have been posted the length and bredth of the region and in a few days the bills announcing the program of events wil1 be distributed. One speaker has been secured, and

arrangements are being made for oth-lp,enty of fresh pure oxegen may be crs. There will not be a single Quift;taken ,nto the lunRS wlth every res. moment during the entire day.

that nearly every member will go to Gary and the sentiment in favor of the celebration there is so strong that some of the locals have agreed to fine every members $5 who fails to attend. Sonth Chicago There. Pome of the crafts in the Trades and Labor council will also go to Gary and in addition it is expected that there will be a large representation from South Chicago and other cities in this vicinity. There is the best of feeling existing among the promoters of the Gary project and the whole idea seems to be to make the celebration one which will be long rmembered. Captain H. S. Norton of the Gary Ind eompany has ordered a gang of men to clean off section ten in Gary, where the celebration is to be held and the work of making it brilliant with electric lights will begin shortly. The lights are to be furnished free of charge by the Gary Heat, Light & Water company, a subsidiary company of the Gary Land company. Gnnien and Music ! Plenty. There will be games and music all over town and refreshments will be served on the grounds. The fact that there are so many fine restaurants and hotels in Gary will insure all of the out of town visitors a chance to get a square meal. No stone will be left unturned to provide the thousands of visitors with accomodations and amusement. The Gary union men are enthusiastic over the prospects and all they are now asking for is favorable weather. The transportation facilities .from Hammond to Gary will be greatly improved when the Chicago. Lake Shore & South Bend interurban begins running on a regular schedule and many of the unions will use this line, to get to Gary. Definite announcement is wno made that the republicans will open their state campaign at Ft. Wayne, Aug, 26, when James E. Watson, candidate for governor, iwlll deliver the party keynote.

Some Startling Figures.

The monthly bulletin for June of the State Board of Health offers much food for reflection if not positive grounds for fear. Who of us would believe a report of this sort except it came backed as does this by unquestioned authority and cold, convincing statistics? The white plague is indeed with us, and the figures of its inroads on the health of the Hoosier folks is startling in the extreme. Give this matter your attention for a month: Consumption sent to the graveyard of this state, during the month of June, just passed more victims than did small pox, influenza, spinal meningitis, pheumonia, whooping cough, scarlet fever, croup, diphtheria and typhoid fever 'combined. Just 110 more than all the "What to do about it? "Well, physicians of the highest ability and in every portion of the country are urging upon the people an apparently simple remedy.

Templin telegraphed to Indianapolis and asked the state board of health to provide a dairy inspector. He informed them that all of the expenses of his investigation would be paid by the city of Gary, of which Dr. Templin is the health officer. Dr. Templin received information that 'one of the dairymen in the country districts, south of Gary, called at the store of r Gary druggist and pur chased a quantity of formaldehyde. Dr. Templin says that some of the farmers in that section have the most unsanitary dairies imaginable. There is no way in which the milk cans can be thoroughly steralized and many of them are filthy when the milk is put into them. He is also of the opinion that there are a number of tubercular cows from which milk is taken and sold. It is understood that a veterinary, attached to the state board of health, will visit the milk dealers in and about Gary and make an examination of the cattle. Dr. Templin also got into communication with the Chicago health officials and will learn all they know about the unsanitary conditions which exist in Lake county dairies. In the end Dr. Templin hopes that he will be able to clean up the dairies in the neighborhood of Gary and make .lit ;lol very uncomfortable for the violators of the law.

Mrs. Elsie Sprumk of Chicago has decided that she is not married to John Schmitt and has asked the Circuit Court to dissolve the matrimonial bonds, "If any exist," between them. Mrs. Sprumk says she has discovered that the marriage contract she entered into with Schmitt is invalid because of her failure to comply with the Illinois statute forbidding the remarriage within a year of persons divorced. April 26, 190". she was divorced from Mathias Sprumk and July 3, 1907, she went with Schmitt to Hammond, where they were "pretendedly married" before a Justice of the peace. In September, she says, she learned that the ceremony was In valid and since that time has not lived with Schmitt. Superstitions of Great Minds. Many celebrities have been superstitious to an extreme degree. Caesar never mounted his chariot without first uttering a magic formula as a preventive against disaster. Lord Bacon and Sir Thomas Browne, believed in witchcraft, Richelieu consulted an astrologer, Bismarck was superstitious about Friday and about sitting thirteen at a table. Actors are proverbially superstitious. Rachel and Mars believed their success assured if they met a funeral just before appearing on the stage.

Have You Ever Noticed It?

There is some reason in a sign, "Spit on the floor if you do it at home," and, "It is a violation of the city ordinances to spit on the 'floor of this street ear," when there is a cuspidor available, but the admonition to be careful where you expectorate is not very effective when you have to go to the door or poke your head out of a street car window in order to accomplish your purpose. The Chicag, Lake Shore & South Bend Interurban emphasizes the completeness of its equipment when it provides cuspidors for its patrons. Even the railroads, which are usually insistent upon having their passengers go to the vestibuled ends of the car, pull up the piattorm and spit into the outdoor which is rushing by, utterly fail to provide a substitute. Should Provide Cunpfdor. A notice in one of the metropolitan papers is to the effect that one of the railroads has made arrangements to have Its cars thoroughly sterilized at the end of every run. That is a good idea, but it would be better if they provided cuspidors for their patrons and kept the floors clean in the first place. It is hard to imagine a more unusual tary place than the average street car. Time and again women enter the cars of the local line and have to keep their skirts off the floor to keep them from becoming soiled in a flood of filth. PBEPABESJOR COURT Judge V. S. Reiter Returns to Hammond For September Campaign. Judge Virgil S. R.eiter has returned to Hammond to prepare for the opening of court the second? of September, and incidentally to nurse that little campaign he had on just at the present time. The judge has been hearing stories of the increasing activity in a political way and he comes back to get into the game. Mr. Reiter is feeling fine after his little outing and is now in the best of health. The enormous amount of business which was done in the Lake superior court, with Judge Reiter on the bench, was a severe tax on his nervous energy, but now that he has had a complete rest he feels as fit as a fiddle. He is ready for the campaign and began talking politics almost as soon as he returned. He is pleased with the reports he has received so far. State of Ohio, City of Toledo, Lucas Cnuntv. SS: Frank J.

1 CP paid to the government $70,000 in cash $30,000 in duty charges on the smuggled goods and $40,000 half of the appraised value of the articles as a penalty for making a false valuation. There are very "few men, for they are the principal offenders, who would not spit in a cuspidor if one were con veniently at hand. But it is too much of a tax on the average man's initiative to ask him to step to the street car door to expectorate. Sew Road Sets Example. The Chicago, Lake Shore & South Bend interurban has taken the proper step and its example should be followed by the other lines. And if there should be a man who, from lack of training or from his own shiftless inclinations, should still persist in making these new and beautiful cars the spitum-covered cattle cars that people have been used to in this region, he should be dangled at the end of a rope at the end of the fastest car on the road.

Second Day of Crown Point Fair, Though the Weather Threatened, Has Larger Crowd Than Any Second Day in History of Fair.

ES VERY EXGirtHG Attractions for Today and Tommorw Assure an Enormous Attendance at the Golden Jubilee of the Lake County Fair Many New Features This Year. Special to The Time.) Crown Point, Ind., Oug. 20. iThe sec ond day of the Golden Jubilee Fair, according to the management, ended last evening with a record breaking attendance. "While the crowd was not as large as it might have been, on ac count of the threatening weather, the officers of the society are well satis fied with the attendance for Wednesday, visitors there yesterday, breaking all previous records for the last fifty years for attendance on that day of the week. This year marks the first year to hold a Wednesday evening session, and a big crowd turned out last night to see the free attractions, consisting of music by Barnie Young's celebrated band. Band Makes a Hit. Young's endeavors in that line ara meeting with the congratulations of every visitor to the fair and the management are receiving much praise in obtaining the popular Hammond sonductor and his band to furnish the music for the occasion. The work of the aerial gymnasts and trick bicycle riders who gave their first free performance as advertised, by tn. management, yesterday afternoon and evening, was well received by the visit ors and their difficult and daring feats are not to be seen outside of the high est class vaudeville houses, and it is worth the price and time spent to see these attractions alone providing no others were given. Diavolo's Wonderful Feat. Diavolo, who is well named, amazed the crowd afternoon and evening by his daring dive from a height of 100 feet into a four foot deep tank that is blaving with fire, and his daring feat was cheered to the echo by the crowVJ. Pain's fireworks, the last free at traction on the day's bill of amuse ments, proved to be better than the management advertised, and the beauti ful set pieces, rockets, candles, and other pyrotlchnical displays were the best ever seen in the country. Each evening the display is increased in magnitude and Thursday and Friday evenings' bill in this line will be worth going the county's length to see. Racea Were Good One. According to the racing experts who have followed the racing game from year to year, at the lake county fair. yesterday's races were the best that were ever speeded on the half miie track, on the first racing day of the fair. The 3:00 trot and 2:35 pace, which were the matinee performance of the speed events during the fair, were made in fast time by as "classy" a bunch of horses that ever cantered under the wire. In the 2:35 pace for the purse of $300, light starters were in the field, Waneta,. owned by Ed Fields of Chicago, showed her mettle by chin ing the wire first in three straight heats, with Almeta Oh So, keeping her warm in the same numbtr of heats. Nancy S. was third in this race. The results of the 2:35 pace: Waneta, (Field) 1, 1, 1. Almeta Oh So, (Smith) 2, 2, 2. Nancy S. (Edwards) 5, 3, 3. Blue Bell, (Stafford) 3, 4. 4. The Fiddler, (Sturgen) 4, 5, 5. Time 2:20i, 2:20, 2:23Vi. In the 3:00 trot, Dorothy, owned by II. Decker of LaPorte, wou her race in 1, 2, 3 order, with Myrtle Garnett a second, running her heats ln 4, . 2. Eagle Flight was third in this race. The result of the 3:00 trot. Dorothy, (Tine) 1, 1, 1.

The Ice magnate was breakfasting on his yacht in the cool, wind-swept harbor. "Queer people, the poor," said his on. How they must stint themselves. A sweatshop worker dropped in at the office yesterday said his two babies were sick and paid for a week's Ice In advance." "He could pay In advance, eh?" mused the magnate over his champagne-drenched grapefruit. "Then wire headquarters to put up prices twenty per cent at once."
