FOR MAYOR QUITE EARLY Now that J. Glenn Harris has an nounced himself for mayor of Gary, the local cigar man has gone him one better.

Considerable excitement and worry was caused yesterday afternoon among the friends and neighbors of the Goldbergs, who live at Washington street and Twenty-third avenue, in Gary.

About 10 o'clock in the evening the child returned home, happy and gay, still laughing about the good time that she had had after school. In the even ing she and her friends went to the Gaiety theater, where they spent the evening.

Cedar Lake Man Acts in Queer Manner, and His Cap Is Found in Empty Boat Near Armour Ice House. (Special to THE Times.) Crown Point, Ind., Sot, 10. Cedar Lake and It vicinity la raking Its brains and pondering; over the mysterious disappearance of one of Its citizens and farmers. Yesterday afternoon Charles Buboli, a farmer, living near Al Taylor's place, called at John Stillson's and requested that they rent htm a boat. Stillson did not hnve any boats at the time and so informed Bubol. Is Not Seen Since. That was the last seen of him. Nothing was thought of his disap pearance until last evening when his family reported that he had not re turned home at the usual time, and a search was instituted for the missing man. This morning searchers followed his tracks to the lake shore, where the appearance of the sand shows that Bubolz boarded a boat and rowed across the lake. Near the Armour ice house a boat was found, containing a cap of Bubolz's and a bottle containing whisky. No further trace of the miss ing man has been found and It is feared that he has committed suicide. Was Seen With Wire. Inhabitants around the lake claim that Bubolz was seen carrying a piece of barbed wire about six feet in length. It is thought that he may probably have used this to weight himself down if his intentions -were to commit sui cide. Meanwhile a search is being con tinued for the missing man and the lake will probably be dragged in an effort to locate him. Bubolz was about 58 years of age and was married, and in prosperous circumstances. BURNS DITCH IS SURE GO NOW. (Continued from Pice One.) times. It Is the greatest ditch project that has ever been undertaken In northern Indiana and will do more to add to taxable values than anything that has yet taken place, excepting only the building of Gary. The commission is to meet on Nov, 31 for the purpose of making a report on the best method to be pursued in the digging of this great drainage canal. The assessment will also be fixed, so that each landowner will know Just what he is to be assessed for the improvement. Much Speculation. There is a great deal of speculation as to the probable effect that the diversion of all of the water from such a large drainage area into Lake Michigan will have on the river between Black Oak and the forks, where it empties into the Grand Calumet river. The people of Gary are especially pleased that the project should fail to be blocked by the few landowners who opposed it. It means that the territory south of Gary, which is now worse than useless, will become cftie of the Garden spots of the region. The drainage of the whole territory in the vicinity of Gary will improve the sanitary conditions there and will make the whole neighborhood more habitable. Sentimentally, it is regretted that what was at one time the greatest hunting ground in the vicinity of Chicago is to be drained the year around, and that corn fields will replace the rice fields where the wild ducks have been feeding in years past. But the fact is realized that it would have to come sooner or later, and the huntsmen accept the inevitable with good grace. Delphi, Ind., Nov. . "Wheelbarrow election bpts" were paid in this city last Saturday afternoon in the presence of a large crowd. The first one was between Arthur Robinson, weight 240, and F. E. Heiland, weight 120, two members of the Delphi band. Robin son the winner, bet on Taft, while Hei land bet on Bj-yan, and wheeled Robinson about the public square. Frank Browne, county recorder, bet with Harry Gipson that Congressman Landls would carry this district by 1,000. Landis was defeated and Browne wheeled Gibson around the square, headed by the band. The third bet was between I. H. Orr, of the firm of Lytle & Orr Co., and Charley Sharpe, and was the same as the first one, Orr betting on Bryan. Denver, Nov. 9. Though there is much talk of plans afoot to oust Samuel Gompers from the presidency of the American Federation of Labor during the sessions of the twenty-eighth annual convention, whicn began here today, It is principally gossip. Leaders of the federation declare their ignor ance of any organized opposition to President Gompers. Mr. Gompers him self waveB the subject aside by saying that the federation will select the man best equipped to lead it to further successes, and declares that, should he be retired, he will still remain a worker in the ranks. He admits there is opposition, but asserts that it is confined to localities only. The cities seeking the next convention are St. Louis, Toronto, Detroit, Mobile, Tampa and Washington.

Sparrow as a Songster, It is a cifrious fact that, though the house-sparrow does not naturally sing, yet hand-reared house-sparrows have been made, by association with bull finches, to acquire the song of that bird a truly astonishing instance of hidden or latent capacity. The Reform of Society. It is a mistake to imagine that hu man society can be reformed by mere organization; for the church at least, treatment in the mass can never take the place of treatment of the individual. You must have that personal effort, the one life bending down to lift up the other. Exchange. Limit to Power of Will. In the moral world there Is nothing Impossible if we bring a thorough will to do it. Man can do everything with himself, but he must not attempt to do too much with others.

HE ME NW AY SAYS VICTORY TUESDAY WAS IMPOSSIBLE, Senator Hemenway, who is in In dianapolis, made the following expression yesterday in regard to the election: "Conditions were such in this state that it was impossible for us to win. This was demonstrated by the fact that the congressional and local tickets were defeated in eleven congressional dis tricts. "I am very grateful to the people for their confidence in the past. This is the first time In a long public career that I have met defeat. I am much gratified by the fact that my own county, although democratic, elected a republican member of the legislature. "I find some satisfaction in the fact that after eight years of service in the house I went to the head of Its greatest committee, and that during my short service In the senate I have secured assignments to important com mittee and. In all probability, would have become chairman of the appropriations committee of the senate if I had been returned. Of course, I feel thankful for the recognition I have received in public life, and I can truthfully say I have made every effort to be of benefit to the people I represented. "On March 4, next I shall go out of office with nothing but gratitude for the honors conferred upon me, and with no ill wil Howard any of the people of my state.'
