'HEARD BY RUBE.
A certain Gary man was sent by his
wife the other day to match some lawn. Ho came back home the same evening with a small box of sand. No wonder some women want divorces. "We know of no more popular indoor sport for all the year around than not getting up early in the morning.

The enumeration of the school chil
dren of Gary, which is being taken by W. P. Ray, will be finished on Friday
of this week. Mr. Ray is having con siderable trouble in taking the enumer
atlon among the foreign settlement In Gary, and his duties have not been easy. Up to the present week Mr. Ray
has been taking the enumeration un
assisted, but in order to complete the work on time an assistant has been
engaged for the balance of the week. Completes Store. H. J. Fishel has completed his new store and flat building on Fifth avenue, near Broadway, and will occupy the upper flat of the building. The new structure is owned by Messrs. J. P. and H. J. Fishel, formerly of New Martlnsdale, W. Va., but who will now locate permanently in Gary, and engage in the contracting business.

Billy Leon, who will try for two falls
out of three, while the boxers In the preliminaries are Kid Clipper and George Coulon at 120; Kid Brown and
John Murphy at 135, and Pete Savoy
and Tom McGarry at 135 in a six-round
go. The battle royal will follow the
boxing bouts.
Mr. Grand Downer of Chicago is in
the city to remain two days. He will
leave about the middle of the week for South Bend.
The Masonic ball given by St- Luke's
lodge was a great success socially and
financially. The attendance was good, and every one present had a delightful
evening. A dance was given at Gregory hall, and was well attended. Mr. S. C. Pierson of Chicago spent Sunday in the city, the guest of Mr. J. Summervllle, returning In the afternoon. Mr. O. H. Martin went to Chicago yesterday. Colonel Mayo preached an interesting sermon to an appreciative audience at the First Baptist church Sunday morning. The words uttered were words of wisdom and helpfulness, and the heeding of these words will make the church grow, and the members shall be useful and strong. Five dollars and twelve cents was raised, and this amount will enable the officers to meet
lan indebtedness. Colonel Mayo preached
another helpful and interesting sermon at the evening service. Colonel Mayo
la one of the best friends that the col
ored people of Gary have, and they
appreciate very highly his true broth
erhood, his Christian Integrity, his
wholesome advise and his unstinted
helpfulness. In him we see a Gar rison, a Lovejoy and a true helper.
Mrs. Thomas Sheffey is spending the
week in Hammond.
Mr. William Davis arraigned and re
buked the dissention now existing be
tween the two churches in Gary, and suggested that a meeting be held at the First Baptist church tonight. The purpose of this meeting will be to bring
about a better feeling and a spirit of oneness among the colored people. It is
hoped that all people interested in the
welfare of the colored people and, espe
daily the Christian people, will be pres
ent at 7:30 o'clock.

reached him that the two men were traveling around the state doing political work, and that he understood that this was the cause of their being let out. It was reported that the men sent in their expense accounts to the government while they were- doing political work, but Neal says he never heard of that feature of the case. Anyhow, the men are to go back to work with their records cleared. A representative of the government went to Lawrencebvirg some time ago and investigated the case, and it was on his report that the reinstatements were made.

Colored Churches "Unite.
After a struggle for Individual existence, and after strife and needless
dissension, a meeting was held at the First Baptist church last night, at which the Messiah and First Baptist churches were united, and the two churches will hereafter worship on
South Washington street, as the First
Baptist Messiah church.
The pastors, officers and members of
the two colored churches met at the
First Baptist church last night for the purpose of bringing about a more friendly relations between the two churches. The opening was auspicious
and business-like. The entiro meeting was marked by Christian decorum and
an absence of partisanship. Consider
ing the strained relations that had ex
isted (strange to say among the two
sister churches) the procedure was good
and reflected level-headedness.
With Mr. J. H. Fredericks, acting as chairman, and Mrs. Nelson Ponyard as
secretary, it was at first decided that
the two churches be made one, and tha the deacons of the two churches con
stitute a committee to decide what the
new church shall be, but through th
timely ana diplomatic suggestions o
Colonel Mayo it was decided to settl
this matter at that sitting of the body
and the name of the new church is to
be the First Baptist Messiah churc
of Gary, Ind., and that the place
worship of the former First Baptis
church on South Washington street.
A church meeting for further busi
ness will be held Friday night.
Too much cannot be said for Mr. Wil liam Davis who unselfishly and un
biasly started this reform and to his
fearless Christian stand this unio
owes Its birth. Nor can too much
said for Colonel Mayo, who upon this
occasion, as in all other crises of the church and the colored people in general, have stood a friend, a helper and a brother. Without his timely advice the union might have yet been a possibility and not a reality. Nor can too much he said in behalf of the kind, wise, judicious deliberations of the pastors and brethren of the two churches, for without a willingness and a disposition to do the right thing the union would have been utterly impossible. After singing praise and thanks for the reconciliation, the meeting adjourned. It is hoped by everybody that there shall be one strong and powerful church for our people in Gary.

TIMKS llt'REAV, AT STATE C APITAL.
Indianapolis, Ind., April 27. Govern
or Marshall evidently does not intend
to monkey with anyone on the subject of prize fighting, but proposes to "go right to it." Yesterday he sent a let
ter to the prosecutor of St. Joseph county that was right to the point, and it Is understood that others are to follow to other prosecutors in counties where prize fights have been held, not
ably Lake county, where it is reported that fights have been held in Ham
mond.
In his letter to the St. Joseph coun
ty official the governor calls attention to the fact that newspaper accounts have reached him of prize fights that
have been held at South Bend. He
saj-s he wants the prostcutor to investi
gate the report, even If he has to call on the author of the newspaper articles to give information, and if he
finds that the law has been violated he is directed to prosecute the parties
to the transaction.
There was an air of directness in
the letter of the governor that could
not well be misunderstood. A letter
of similar nature was sent to the
prosecutor of Marion county last Saturday and the sports in this city are
looking for something to happen.
RinKfaam Makrs a Mad lirvak. Attorney General James Bingham went home to Muncie last Sunday and he had no more than "lit" in town than the drys In the county local option fight took him in tow and landed him in their headquarters, whore he told them how glad he was that Delaware county was going to hold an election
and that he hoped the drys would win. He took a great part in the fight during the time that he was there, and the drys took hope from the encouragement that he gave them. But the republican leaders are red hot because lie ever went to see the drys or took any part in the Delaware county fight. Bingham is a candidate for the nomination for governor in 1912 and the leaders are saying that by his activity in the local option compaign he has driven away from himself every liberal vote In th state. And moreover, the leaders of the party want to keep the liquor question out of polltics in the next campaign, for they have had enough of it and that it should now be left alone. "By going up to Muncie and making the break that he made Sunday, Bingham has put the party in a hole," said one prominent republican. "The party should not pay any attention to the liquor question next time. It has made all kinds of trouble for us already, and the longer it is drawn out the more
trouble we will have with it. If Bingham wants to be the prohibition candi
date for governor that is all right, but he should not seek now to make the republican party stand for the issue
again."
There is no doubt that Bingham will
draw to his support many dry votes in the state In his campaign for the
nomination for governor, but the gen
eral feeling seems to be that he will
lose the liberals, and that If he sue
ceeds in being nominated the party
will lose the entire liberal vote of the
state. That's what makes the party
leaders sore at him.
Wayne County Slakes Good Record. Wayne county is being congratulated
by the state board of health because
of the good that has been accomplished
in that county In the way of improving
the sanitary conditions of district school houses. Dr. J. E. King, the county health officer of Wayne county, according to the records of the state
board, has condemned eight schools as unsanitary, and as a result of his good work the townships are now preparing to build eight new buildings to take the places of those that were condemned. "Wayne county has the best record of any county in the state," said Dr. J. N .Hurty, secretary of the state board, yesterday. "We are hoping that other counties in the state will follow the lead of Wayne county and get rid of a lot of their unsanitary school houses. Dr. King has done great work over there."
rlAY HOLD CONTRACTOR
FOB SEWER CAVE-IN
The cave-in of the local sewer, between Broadway and Massachusetts streets near Fourteenth avenue, was
one of the subjects for discussion at the meeting of the town board this afternoon when an attempt was made to
find out exactly why the sewer at this
point caved in. The contractors who
built the sewer, Green & Sons, are still
partially under bond and if it is found to he defective, the Green company
will be made to replace It.
The repair of the sewer Is now well under way. Piles have been driven
around the broken portion of the sewer which prevents more sand and dirt
from caving in on the workmen. Now
that the excavation has been boarded.
work will start at once on the recon
struction of the local sewer. It is no
expected that as much trouble will b
encountered in the repair of this sewe
as was experienced with the one which
broke In the first subdivision a year
ago.
It is believed at the present tim
that the unusual water pressure at that
time was responsible for the cave-i
of the sewer rather than any particula
defect.
Inierton Reinstated. A. A. Phillips of Noblesvillo and A. Elliott of Falrmount, two former rtvenue office employes at Lawrenceburg,
who were let out last fall during the heat of the political campaign, have been notified from Washington that they have been reinstated in their positions. The word came as a surprise to the politicians of this city. Elam Neal, revenue collector for the sixth district, said that last year reports

When tired of their Pomeranian poodles, or their Angora cats, monkeys
and chameleons, the blase society women of New lork need not give up the
idea of keeping pets. Hope should not be abandoned, for there is still the Kinkajou. Besides having all the attributes and characteristics of the
aforementioned domestic animals, the Kinkajou has another strong recom
mendation namely: that it is rare and is therefore In no danger-of becoming the common pet of the hoi polloi. In fact, there Is only one In captivity at
the present time, so far as is known, and It is the particular pt of A. C. Taylor. Its name is Teddy. It was captured on the Isthmus of Panama by W. J. Ewen, of Sibley street, Hammond, formerly a machinist emplotyed on
the canal. It proved to be an easy convert to the ways of domesticity, re
sponding to its name, and following at the heel like the best trained dog. Teddy has the nicest possible table manners, and has learned to Know and use the proper utensils without makl ng any bad blunders, such as -msing tha salad fork on ice cream or the soup spoon for after dinner coffee, In size the animal corresponds to a cat, and in its native state lives in trees and eats fruits and vegetables.
