COULDN'T TUMBLE WHEN HE WAS FOR BIG BILL TAFT.

Hody Guard of President-Elect TeU of a Amusing Incident Which Occurred In Gary. In relating his experience of the trip which he took with William Howard Taft while he was campaigning through the west one of Mr. Taft's body guard related the following incident which happened at Gary and which many who attended the big Taft meeting at the Gary skating rink will remember. The story is as follows: "In a skating rink in an Indiana town at a meeting a young man perched himself on one of the beams close to the ceiling and fell asleep waiting for Mr. Taft's arrival. When Mr. Taft stepped upon Jhe platform the man sleeping on the beam awoke with a star, swayed forward and only by seizing the beam accidentally did he save himself from falling upon the heads of the people In the audience. " 'That was a narrow shave you had!' shouted a man from the audience to the man on the beam. " 'I couldn't tumble, for I'm with Taft retorted the young fellow, and the crowd cheered." ADAMS ST. PAVEMENT BEGUN, The' pavement has now been started cn Adams street in the first subdivi sion by the Gary Land company. The grading has all been completed and the remainder of the work is being pushed rapidly. STRUCTURAL IRON FOR PUMPING STATION ARRIVES The iron has now arrived for the construction of the pumping station in Gary and the work is progressing rap idly. The work was almost stopped while the contractors, Schmidt Brothers, were waiting for the structural iron. The concrete foundation is now in place and the remainder of the work CONSIDERABLE EXCITEMENT IN GARY SKATING RINK. I.ady Faint While In Cnslna nnd Fnyslclan Is Called. Considerable excitement was caused in the Casino at Gary last evening when Mrs. Cook, the wife of one of the steel comDanv enmloves. fainted- while she was skating and fell to the floor. Tha skating was stopped as quickly as possible and the unconscious woman was taken out of the hall. It was learned later that she is subject to fainting spells and that she happened to be a Tictlm of one of those attacks while she was skating. The sick woman was taken to a Gary doctor where she was restored to- con scjousness. . , ' '. CHIEF MARTIN MAKES A GREAT RECORD. Gary Police Head Ioe Thing With His Young Cannon Yesterday.

HEARD Bt RUBE.

Gary did not have such a hard time making up her mind as did Maryland. It is reported that confidence has so far returned In Gary that a number of laborers are building additions to their dinner pails. If it takes thirty second to button a woman's waist In Gary now long will it take before the paving on Broad,way is finished. It is now Landlord Norton if you please. As it is said there is some counterfelt $5 bills in circulation In Chicago it would be well for Gary people to demand $20 bills In change when visit ing In the city. Indiana threatens to retaliate by electing Kern to the senate. Any kind of whiskers will do there. Chicago Daily News. Tes, and Mr. Taggarfs little mustacherino stands a good show. In the course of a few months Gary will have two fine a churches as can be found In northern Indiana. Also a city fire and police station. Gary policemen can fight fire just as well as they can fight burglars. Four more saloons have gone out of business in Gary and yet the town seems to be well supplied. The demand for rooming houses Is just as great as It ever was. There was another slight boom in building permits yesterday and today. Daddy Kliver haB a smile these days that covers all of his face. Footballically speaking Gary is without a team this year. Never mind, pingpong will soon be the rage again. There may be some young men in Gary who can button a shirt-waist in short order, but what would the result be if they had to use pins as is the custom In some cases. Gary republicans are talking serious ly now of giving Taft 5,000 majority at 1912 election. There are some men. in Gary with a lot of money, who are a great help to themselves. For hotels and good service Gary can give any city in the northern part of the state a few lessons. GARY BRIEFS. Dr. Rogers of Morocco, in Newton county, was in Gary today visiting Attorney Clarence Bretsch and Representative-Elect William H. Kliver. Dr. Rogers is a prominent republican in the county where Messrs. Bretsch and Kliver spoke and was the chairman of the Morocco meeting. He complimented both men on their work In that county. President Tom Knotts' sister is visiting him for a few days at his resi dence on Washington and Seventh av enues. The Binzen fiats on Sixth avenue and Jefferson street are now nearing com pletion and they will be ready for occupancy by the middle of this month The flat building is the finest that has been built in the city, and is a beauti ful structure. The carpenters are now doing the finishing work. Work is now practically completed on the new cement sidewalk around the. Gary hotel on Sixth avenue. The new Improvement benefits the street and the hotel to a great extent. Teh corner of Sixth avenue and Broadway has all of its improvements in now and makes one of the finest corners in the city. One lone prisoner took the autO' mobile trip to the county seat today he being unable to raise the necessary $11, the costs and the fine levied, for becoming intoxicated. Judge P. L. Fitzgerald went to Crown Point today on business. When seen last night Dr. Nieukirk denied the rumor which was circulated to the effect that he was a candidate for mayor. The case of E. G. Smith vs. Pontious Heintz, who a few days ago handed Mr. Smith a few of his fifty-seven varieties on the end of the nose, was venued from Judge Townsley's court, where it came up for trial. Mr. Edward Brons, who recently went to Minnesota where he was married, returned to this city with his wife and has taken up his residence at the Vic toria hotel. Air. Brons is proprietor of a cigar store on Sixth avenue. The engineers who have been working on the survey of the sight of the American Bridge works in this city say they will be through with their work in a few days, and will return to their homes in Pittsburg.

No doubt, if you yourself don't know, of many ffiafvelbvis cures of Stomach, Liver, Blood and Skin affections that have been made by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, for it has a most successful record of over 40 years, i These GURES embrace also many bad cases of Weak Lungs, lingering Coughs, Bronchial, Throat and Lung affections, some of which, no doubt, would have run into Consumption, had they been neglected or badly treated. We don't mean to say that the "Golden Medical Discovery" will cure Consumption when fully seated, but it will strengthen weak lungs, improve digestion, and make pure, rich, red blood thereby overcoming and casting out disease'producing bacteria and giving robust, vigorous health.

Among the men who did a great deal for the election of W. H. Taft was W. C. Brown, first vice president of the New York Central lines, who is well known at Gibson where he has often been. Mr. Brown says now: "The country is entering upon a per iod of even greater prosperity than we have yet known. The morning after election I sent more than 100 telegrams releasing orders for supplies and equip ment for the New York Central lines alone, aggregating, in cost 131,000,000. I placed these orders some time ago and made each contingent on the election of Mr. Taft, because 'our company be lieved that should v the election go against Taft the money and commercial markets of the country would be too seriously disturbed to warrant us entering upon anything so extensive. I can say positively that other railroads of this country have either already done so or will within a few days re lease orders like these of our3 that will aggregate $240,000,000 for equipmtlit and for material that will go into i ailroad building, extensions and improve ments of rolling stock. "I can tell you also that enough or ders have been placed with the gigantic steel industries of this country to keep them working for a whole year at their maximum, if they should not receive another order. All this means just one thing, namely, that the great est period of railroad extension work we ever yet had is upon us. In every department of commerce and business the country is sure to progress over and beyond the point it had attained in the fall of 1907, when temporary lack of confidence and the approach of the national campaign conspired to check business and we are now entering upon a period of even greater prosperity and business activity than we have ever known before."

TO LEAVE THE Charles H. Martin and Family Will Move to California. (Special to The Times.) Indiana Harbor, Ind., Nov. 7. Residents of Indiana Harbor will be surprised to learn of the intention of Charles H. Martin, the genial Michigan avenue baker, to move his family to J California in the near future. The building now used for bakery purposes has been leased to Messrs. Hoffman and Kiessling, of this city, who will use the rear portion of the structure for Ku 1 rTt mimnB.a of. ihft nvAna Will be maintained, and the products sold at a new store to be opened In the Coliscum nnk bunding. The restaurant section of the Martin building will be transformed into a thoroughly modern ice cream parlor, to be operated by the gentlemen now conducting the parlor in the Clirte opera house building. They wil lcontlnue the management of both places as long as the public of Indiana Harbor pat ronizes their efforts sufficient to war rant such an undertaking. The change In management will be affected about the lSth of this month and Mr. Martin expects to move his family to the far western state within the following three weeks. Mr. Martin has ben one of the- progressive business men' who have assisted In the building of the Harbor city, and his departure to the new field will be noted with regret by his many friends In this locality. Mrs. Martin and her daughter, Miss Emily, have ben prominent in the social affairs of the city and will be sadly missed in the functions i that necessitate he presence of prompt and willing workers such as they. Metal polishers, buffers, platers and brass and silver workers' unions of Boston have already begun their preparations for the international convention of their organization, which will be held there next August. It i3 the plan of the St. Louis (Mo.) labor unions to build a magnificent temple of labor, in which all the labor organizations of that city will have headquarters and which will contain a hall so large that it will accommodate conventions. Steps are being taken by members of the Minneapolis (Minn.) Horseshoers' union for the establishment of a class to study the make-up of a horse's foot and its best treatment in shoeing, the class to run through the winter. A competent veterinarian will be employed for the lectures. The feeling in England is that the cotton mill strike will not last long, for the cardroom workers are expected soon to take a second ballot and agree to the 5 per cent reduction in wages, which already has been accepted by the spinners belonging to the general organization. The Boston Sheet Metal Workers' union and the respective employers have renewed for another year the $3.60-eight-hour agreement. The only changes made were those definitely providing for various job and shop matters and rules that had been in dispute, and which were insisted upon by the union. District No. 15, of the International Association of Machinists, which takes in New York and vicinity, Jersey City and Newark, has decided to ask the convention of the American Federation of Labor when it meets in Denver on Nov. 9 to consider applying for perj mission to put an agent representing j the American Federation of Labor on i Ellis Island to look after the inter1 ests of the unions and to see that the t contract labor laws are not evaded. Swansea carpenters and joiners have made a demand for an advance in wages of a penny an hour. As conciliation boards now rule the rates of wages in the British building trade, the matter will doubtless be settled by conciliation or arbitration without the extremity of a strike. Daily Thought. Never bear more than one trouble at a time. Some people bear three kinds all they ever had, all they hare now, and all they expect to have.
