CUMING TO THE TOWLE

Ten Cent Shows Inaugurate Finish Fight in Endeavor to Draw Crowds, and as Result Public Is Highly Entertained.

PRESS BARKERS AND FLOUTS INTO SERVICE

Managers Try to Outdo Each Other By Putting on Good Cards Majestic Precipitates Battle Derby, Lyric and Gem Follow Good Shows Anticipated in Future.

A theatrical war of largo proportions has been declared In Gary among- the

ten-cent theater people, and the chances are that the Broadway show houses will produce the bet line of vaudeville and moving pictures that has ever been seen hereabouts for the prlca. All four theaters Involved in the fight were whooping it up yesterday to a finish, and the public stood by giving judgment to the performances by the liberality of their patronage. "The other shows on Broadway are having their Inning tonight," said one theater manager, "but wait till you see my show next week. I will have the best performance on I ever gave, something high-priced and classy. I had my banner week last week and next week I intend to make them all take notico." Majestic Fire Klr (.im

The first gun of the battle was fired by the Majestic theater, which announced recently that they would give but one performance in the evening instead of two, and give not only a longer but a higher class production. They secured for their first production a minstrel company that proved immensely popular with those who saw it. The next to fall in line was the Derby theater with their "Hayco, the handcuff king." and the Lyric with their unusual "Indian" attraction. Commencing Friday the "Gem."

which was the original ten-cent theater in Gary, will offer as their headliner "The Great Neapolitan Trio," in a high class musical act, which, it is said, will be as great a drawing card as anything the theaters have ever had on before. It is probable that the other theaters have already arranged for their "come-back," or a show with which they can compete with that at the "Gem." Employ Barkers and Floats. For the first time in the history of the show business, yesterday "barkers" stood in front of the theaters on Broadway and made things noisy for blocks in the vicinity with their megaphone chatter. In the middle of the afternoon one of the theaters rigged up a float, representing their great attraction, and sent it up and down Broadway. A half hour later it was followed by a float from another theater, and

the efforts of the sentorian announcers

to wear each other out was marvelous

to see.

The public is rejoicing in the fight

as the quality of the shows has been Improved as never before. Thw managers are showing a keen interest in the battle and rejoice or lament as the tide of victory swings first to and then

away from thonr places of amusement

On the whole the patronaee of the th-

aters has been largely increased there.

Ex-Sheriff F .S. Carter Com municates With State Chemist Barnard.

Ex-Sheriff F. S. Carter is in receipt

of a letetr from Harry Everett Barnard, state chemist, in which he states that, the water from Carter and Clark's

it. John springs has been tested and

will make most excellent drinking water. After giving the composition of the water the report states: "It is an ex

cellent water. It is of unusual purity

In every respect, except the presence of lime salts, which causes very high hardness." As the water is not to be used for washing purposes, the fact that it is very hard does not impair it in the least. In fact, it adds the mineral quality that makes it a most excellent drinking water. Messrs. Carter and Clark are very much pleased with the analysis, and think they will be able to dispose of a large quantity of their water when the people compare it with the city water.

body had blundered, and friends

James Cullen, a Monon railroad engineer, at Lafayette, are hurrying to In

dianapolis to tell Governor Marshall that it is all a mistake. Governor

.ftiarsnall is out of the city, but the

friends and political backers of Cullen are leaving word for him so that he

will et it when he returned in about a week. The story has been going the rounds

to tne errect that Cullen stands a good

cnance of being appointed a member of the Indiana railroad commission to succeed W. J. Wood, whose term expires on May 1. Lasst Sunday an interview appeared in a Lafayette paper in which Cullen was quoted as saying that Marshall had offered him the place and that everything was ready for the appointment, except the issuing of the commission. Denie He Said It. As soon as this article annr i

the paper, Cullen's backers came trooping to this city to see the governor. They declare thatCullen never said it. Cullen talked with the reporter for the paper, hut he did not say what was charged up to him, they say. They feared that if the governor got sight of the article It would injure Cullen's chances of appointment. Cullen will probably be appointed, however. It is said that he has all of the qualities which Governor Marshall said in his campaign speeches he would require of a member of the railroad commission, and besides this

he has the backing of Dan Simms and J. Kirby Sisk, the democratc pooh-bahs of Lafayette. This is believed to make it almost a certainty that he will land the job, and that the announcement will be made as soon as Governor Marshall gets home.

The first case of what was supposed to be horse stealing that has taken place in Gary for some time, was found by the local police yesterday when Officer

The police of the surrounding towns were notified and they were asked to assist in finding the owner of the team. Paulson and Dawner both claim to live in Chicago. The former savs his home is at 222 East Twenty-fifth street Dawner lives at 3110 State street. Paulson this morning denied that he had stolen the team and said that he had owned It for several years in Chicago. It was learned today that Paulson was one of the passengers in the wreck on the Chicago, Lake Shore and gouth Bend interurban last Monday afternoon. He was only slightly bruised.

TENT COT A MONEYMAKER

Manufactue of Commodity May Make Hammond as Famous as Kalamazoo.

Mr. George Locklln of the Enterprise Bed company is very proud of the booklet he had Just received from the press, which describes the Enterprise tent-cot. The booklet is a catalogue de lux of sixteen pagers anor cover, and describes In detail the uses to which this remarkable tent-cot may be put. It is understood that Mr. Locklln plans a strenuous season of advertising this year, which Is expected to be a big business getter. His tent-cot is admitted to be one of the best things on the market and, now that the hunting, prospecting and camping season is

near, the sales will probably be very large.

The fact that Mr. Locklln nad a very ingenuous invention in his tent-cot was first made known through The Times. Since then the manufacture of this most unique and useful article has he-

come an increasingly important part of

the business of the Enterprise Bed

company.

Booklet Attractive. The little booklet, which Mr. Locklln has just had printed, consists of several chapters and many illustrations showing the uses to which the the tent-cot may be put. The various captions are as follows: "A Word About the Tent-Ccot," "To Hunters and Campers," "For the Fisherman," "Group of Campers Provided

with Tent-Cots," "Miners, Prospectors and Threshers," "A Storm-Proof Cover," "Take Your Siesta in a Tent-Cot," "Our Double Ttent-Cot," "The Tent-Cot for Consumptives," "Sleep on Tour Own Porch," "Don't Be Afraid of Night Air," "Home air as Good as Any," "Enterprise Tent-Cot for Invalids."

for the purpose of discussing the feasi

in Gary.

Although last right many of the members were of the opinion that the club would in no way interfere with the Masonic lodge, the majority ruled and it was decided that the club would exist no more after the next meeting.

At that time a big celebration will be given to mark the passing of the club. A special meeting will be called in the near fnture to make arrangements and to appoint committees for the affair. The Masonic social club has been in existence in Gary nearly two year and now has a membership of nearly 125. It has been one of Gary's most popular social organizations, and one from which many benefits and social enjoyments have been derived. When Gary was in its infancy, it might be said, the Gary Masonic social club gave dances and entertainments and offered other amusements to the citizens of Gary that could in no other way be obtained In a growing city such as tis. Its passing out of existence will be deeply regretted by everybody in Gary as well as every member of the club.

A STORY OF A SALE

This house has been established in business for thirteen years ' It has always carried large, popular. and attractive line. The buiness has been growing and we have prospered. This has been due to the fact that our goods and prices have appealed to horseowners and we have been succesful m holding their trade, when once secured.

When the panic struck the country, it found us loaded to the guards. This did not trouble us as we had a fat bank account.

(Special to Thb Times.) East Chicago, Ind.. April 15. This is a story with pathetic features but a good ending, and it deals with a family who, through misfortune, affliction and poverty were compelled to raffle off one of their dearest possessions only to have it returned to them with a polite note from the winner, stating that they could keep it, or raffle It off again, or in fact do what they chose with it, as Its return was without restruction. Edward Taste was a locomotive engineer, who lived with his family in Forsythe avenue. Three years ago his mind becameunbalanced and he was sent, after trial for sanity, to the asylum at Logansport. His family some time after left East Chicago and not long ago the former friends of the family in East Chicago received letters from Mrs, Taste statintr that shn

was forced to raise a little money for

immediate wants and that In order to do so she was about to raffle off her husband's valuable watch. Jack An-
