T largest amd brt equipped loeomettre works in the world are to be
constructed on property recently pnreaaaed at Gary by the American Lo

The plant wtll protade employment
for from 4000 to 6,000 men. The
deal trhoojgrh wblcb the locomotive
company secures title to 190 acres of land at Gary was completed yesterday.
The plot of ground on which the big
locomotive plant will be ereotl was
brought from the Gary Land company,
a subsidiary concern of the United States Steel corporation. None of the other plants of the American Locomotive company occupy more than sixty
acres.
Plans for the huge plant have already been drawn, and it was given
out by the company that the work cf
construction would begin immediately.
The land purchased adjoins that on which the new plant of the United States Steel corporation Is situated. It is understood that Interests of the two
big corporations are closely allied.
The site at Gary, twenty-four miles
from Chicago, where the largest num
ber of railroads converge at a single commercial center, is declared superior
to any other location in the country. The Chicago district is a large rail road center, and is rapidly develop
ing in manufacturing importance. It is a favorable location for securing
material for building locomotives.
The American Locomotive company now operates plants in Schenectady and Dunkirk. N. Y.: Pittsburg and
Scranton, Pa.; Richmond, Va.; Pater

means the company will eventually
abandon its other plants, with the ex
ception of that at Montreal, consoli
dating its manufacturing interests, for
the purposes of economy, at Gary. The Montreal plant will probably continue
to supply the Canada trade.
The Baldwin Locomotive company, the principal of the American Locomotive company, operate a plant at Philadelphia covering 150 acres. The news came to Chicago by way of New York yesterday afternoon.

Morris Weil of Gary has recently se
cured a very Important concession
rom the Chicago, Lake Shore and
South Bend railroad. The privilege
accorded to the Gary man Is that of
establishing lunch counters, news
tands and soda fountains at all of
the stations along the route from South
Bend to Chicago.
That this is an imporant acquisition
is shown by the fact that there have been many applicants from all parts of the country for the right to estab
lish the counters in the various depots
along the line. This business will un
questionably prove very profitable, es
pecially ln the summer when the de mand for ice cream will be greatest.
Mr. Weil will form a stock company
at once and put in his lunch counters
as soon as possible. The man whom
he has selected to have charge of the
Gary station is Thomas Magromos, who is the owner of the Olympic Candy
kitchen, which is the largest in the city. Magromos is also a member of
the stock company and it may be pos
sible that he will be given charge of
the operation of lunch counters in all
of the cities in which they will be es
tablished.
The places that the lunch counters
and soda fountains will be put in are:
South Bend, Michigan City, New Car lisle, Gary, Hammond and Tolleston.
The fact that the Cedar street man's

The Gary board of fire underwriters met yesterday afternoon ln the offices
of H. E. Johnson,, in the Gary building.
and among the other business trans acted resolutions- were passed thank

their efficient work in putting out the

An effort will be made in the near future, it is said, to have the insurance rates lowered in Gary, but according to reports from the state inspection

boy who disappeared with his youthfu
companion, Jesse Schoaler, has been
located ln Milwaukee, and his anixoua father, J. P. Gormley, who conducts a
livery barn ln Gary, went to Chicago this morning to meet his hopeful, he having been transported from Milwaukee to Chicago.
They left Gary last Tuesday morning, and after the police in the surrounding cities had been notified it did not take long to get trace of the youngsters, who suffered from "wanderlust" every one in a while. Nothing, however, has as yet been heard from Jesse Schoaler.
HOT AS MUCH MONEY
AS AT FIRST PLANNED
Present Outlook Is That Only About
$1,500 Will Be Raised as a Starter Dr. J. C. Watson Is Admitted to Membership of Organization Is Resident of Tolleston.
Two hundred dollars was appropri
ated yesterday afternoon by the Gary
Commercial club for the purpose of boosting the superior court question and bringing it before the legislature. This, will be placed in a general fund, which will consist of various amounts, to be appropriated by the organizations
represented in the citizens' general
committee. s
This Is the first organization to
make an appropriation, and they were
expected to make the largest donation
to the cause of any of the bodies represented. Even at the rate of $200 per
organization, the general committee
will not raise more than $1,200 to $1,500. This appears as if those connect
ed with the attempt to get a superior court for Gary had come to the conclusion that it does not require as much
money as they thought it would, and
the question is to have the plans
changed or was the expense over-esti
mated by the finance committee.
The report of the treasurer of the Commercial club, which was received
yesterday, shows that the organization
still has a balance in Its. treasury of $500. This amount is after the ex
penditure was made for the Junketing trip to South Bend and many other expenses, which have been incurred by
the association. The amount of $500, however, will be reduced by the appro, priation, which was made by the club yesterday. Another member, Dr. J. C. Watson, was taken Into the club yesterday. Dr. Watson is a resident of Tolleston.

To Melt Iron In a Moment. Heat a piece of Iron (a poker will do), to white heat, then apply to it a roll of sulphur. The iron will immediately melt and run into drops. This experiment is best performed over a wash bash of water, allowing the melted iron (really sulphide of iron), to drop into the water.

But I do get good and sore when they don't say anything about me."
Emerson was a notable sufferer from the vagaries of memory. His biographer relates that he met him one day in Boston, apparently at a loss for something, and asked him where he was going. "To dine," said Emerson, "with a very old and dear friend. I know where she lives, but I hope she won't ask me her name," and then he proceeded to describe her as "the mother of the wifv of the young man the tall man who speaks so well," and so on, until his interlocutor guessed to whom he was referring. Even the names of common objects
often failed him completely. On one occasion, when he wanted an umbrella, he said: "I can't tell its name, but I can tell its history. Strangers take it away." This failing of Emerson led to a pathetic scene when he attended Longfellow's funeral, and remarked as he gazed at the coffin: "He was a sweet and beautiful soul; but I have entirely forgotten his name."

Where then is progress? If any of you, withdrawing himself from externals, turns to his own will to exercise it and to improve it by labor, so as to make it conformable to nature, elevated, free, unrestrained, unimpeded, faithful, modest; and if he has learned that he who desires or avoids the things which are not in his power can neither be faithful nor free, but of necessity he must change with them and be tossed about with them as in a tempest, and of necessity must sub
ject himself to others who have the
power to procure or prevent what he desires or would avoid; finally, when he rises in the" morning, if he observes and keeps these rules, bathes a3 a man of fidelity, eats as a modest man; in like manner, if in every matter that occurs he works out his chief principles as the runner does with reference to running, and the trainer of the voice with reference to the voice this is the man who truly makes progress.
