A POOR HORSE SALE. v Yesterday's horse sale and market proved to be the poorest sale of the year and a poor crowd of buyers and ' farmers was present. The absence of the usual- crowd Is credited to the fact J that most of the farmers and those ' usually attending the sale were busy in the hay and oat fields. Very few horses were sold, but those brought to town were readily picked up by the buyers at good prices. Cli'CT'S 3OT COMING. The Robinson company circus, whose itinerary some time ago billed them to show at Crown Point during this month have cancelled the date and Crown Point In all likelihood will miss Its annual circus this year. Conflicting dates and other circus companies making Lake county ahead of the Robertson company's date here is given as the reason for the failure of the circus to show here. GREAT WISCONSIN LAND OPENING 130.8OO Aere la Sawyrr Cnmtr, Wla -o ln, Released for Settlement. S0.50 TO 20 PER ACRE AND EAST TERMS. Yielding to the urgent and Unceasing demands of homeseekers, the lumber Interests have, at last released for settlement an enorjrious acreage of rich undeveloped land in the heart of Wisconsin's great dairying and big cropproducing section. The American Immigration Company of Chippewa Falls, wis., has secured this great body of land and is offering remarkable Inducements to settlers and Investors. The land is equal in productive power te land that commands $100 to 1180 per acre In Iowa, Illinois or Ohio. The company Is selling off this land at the remarkably low valuation of $6.50 to $20 per acre. The terms are one-fourth to onethird cash and the balance In ten years. This Is an opportunity unparalleled In recent years. A man with a few hundred dollars and a determination to win can get one of thrt-e splendid farms and be Independent In a few years. There Is timber to be cleared away, but much of It is valuable hardwood, which can be turned Into money at the nearby sawmills. The timber can thus be made te pay for the land and provide lumber for farm buildings and fences. Settlers in the Round Lake country have tre advantages of ?ool markets, railroad facilities, telephone and mall service, schools, churches and good neighbors. It is a country of abundant rainfall and the purest of water. Hundreds are headed for the Round Lake country, Sawye- County, determined to get a fresh start in a new country, where every man has a "ground floor opportunity."

TEAMING CONTRACTOR BUYS HEW LOCnllOIl J. F. McPherson of Indiana Harbor, Must Provide 'For Future. (Special to The Times.) Indiana Harbor. July 20. John F. McPherson, at present located In Fir street, has purchased three quarters of an acre just South of the Monathan tract on the Indiana Harbor Belt rail road between One Hundred and Thirtyninth street an dOne Hundred and Forty-first strtet. The purchase price was $1,500. Mr. McPherson intends to build on his new property and transfer his teaming business to this locality. Mr. McPherson is about the biggest teaming contractor In this neck of the woods and his business is growing to such an extent that he believes it worth his while to be located on a railroad which will make it possible for him to move his equipment from his barns to any of the towns hereabouts wherein he may be called upon to do business. As he has a great deal of business In outside cities, notably In Hammond, Whiting and Gary, it will save him much time and labor to be able to put his teams and wagons and other equipment on board a train to be transferred to the sce of his operations. Alongside the McPherson property, adjoining it on the south, John Janke has purchased for $1,200 a half acre of ground and to this he will remove his concrete block manufacturing industry which at present is in Block avenue near Washington street. Both these lots were sold to their new owners by C. A. Westberg of the East Chicago company.

ALL TOGETHER FOR THE STATE REPUBLICAN TICKET

Indianapolis, July 20. "All together for the Republican ticket," Is the slogan in Indiana. James E. Watson, In his speech at Boonville, gave new emphasis to this declaration of party unly, when he said that he would wkrk for the success of the whole -ticket. Mr. Watson put at rest the Democratic story of Republican apathy, and declared it to be his purpose to stand by his party majority and to do the majority's will, whether that will was expressed In state convention or legislative caucus. Mr. Watson expressed the desire that every Republican be given a right to his own opinions, and reserved a right to hold and express his own views. Mr. Watson has been looked to In the past or campaign oratory of a high order. Hla popularity hasc made him strong as a campaigner. Many Indiana Republicans will be glad to know that the party is to have Mr. Watson's services as usual this year. The activity of James A. Hemenway; former United States senator, and his participation in the First district convention endorsement of Senator Beveridge, gives confirmation to the encouraging report that Mr. Hemenway is to take off his coat for the Republican ticket in Indiana this year as In the past. t Charles B. Land is, former congress man from the Ninth district, called at state Republican headquarters a day or two ago to talk over the political outlook. Mr. Landis is preparing to make Republican campaign speeches in Indiana and elsewhere, this year. Speaking of party prospects, Mr. Landis said: "We believe we are going to elect E. E. Neal to congress in the Ninth this year. Carrol county is in good shape. We expect Howard and Hamilton to do especially good work this year. Republicans may not all agree on schedules. No set of men can get together and fix all the schedules In a tariff bill to suit all Republicans, or to suit all Democrats. We always frave tried to come as near as possible to the point COLORED PEOPLE Tl HAVE PARK Within a short while two blocks of land on the Gary-Tolleston border in the vicinity of Twenty-fourth and Main street will be "Settled by a colony of colored people. The place will probably be called "Play fair park" after a slEiHar colony In the east. It Is exptcted that Booker T. Washington will dedicate the place. The noted educator in company with three Gary a few weeks ago and as a result wealthy colored people have decided to invest in south end property. When the dedication takes place Thomas -". Swann, chairman of the committee in charge says that Congressman Madden, R. R. McCormlck, a.nd Bishop Blackwell of Chicago and Senator Shively of South Btnd will be present and an invitation has been extended to Gov. Marshall. Only respectable people will be allowed to purchase lots in the park. A Philadelphia philanthropist has donated sufficient money for a church, and a small 'library. No saloons will be allowed on the property.

S INCREASING As an instance of the manner In which the larger corporations having Inttrests in Gary regard the city, it is satisfactory to note that Armour and company are already seeking to extend their property Interests here. The company has already a handsome and commodious plant on Broadway near the Wabash tracks. The present building Is in every way large enough for the present needs of the company, but the company, apparently realizing that Gary's growth is assured. Is endeavoring to increase Its holdings here. The Times is in receipt of information from Chicago to this effect. When questioned concerning the matter, the local manager of the Armour company stated that he knew nothing of the matter and that the premises at present occupied by the company vare ten years ahead of the city." The Armour company, however, is seeking to gain a lot Immediately In the rear of its present building and another fronting on the Wabash railroad. This would probably give them a railroad frontage of about ninty feet. All the property they have their eyes upon Is adjoining their building and would make room for a very large plant.

of satisfying all elements. I find the farmers up our way are leaning strongly to the Republican side. They like

prosperity. They are afraid of Demo cratic uncertainty." Fred A. Sims,, secretary of state., and former acting st ate chairman, says: "I talked to two farmers from Clinton county recently. Both were Republicans. Both declared they were strong for Roosevelt; both desiring the reelection of Senator Beveridge. because they believe he is most always right, always tries to be exactly square, and because he has done and is able to do good service for the people. These two farmers said they had been waiting for President Taft to show his caliber, and they had decided, since his recent legislative victories, that the president Is dependable and able to carry on the people's fight to success. Further, the farmers from Clinton county declared they, were well pleased with the times, and loath to admit that Democratic outcry against good prices for farm products was a just or reasonable outcry. They told of three democratic farmer neighbors in their township who have declared their purpose to vote the republican ticket this year. There is no doubt about It," said Mr. Sims, "the farmers are with us. And we get the same sort of reports from the workingmen." George W. Williams, Knlghtstown, a republican of long standing and wldee acquaintance, says that conditions In Henry county and surrounding counties are better than he has ever seen them. Mr. Williams has been in business forty years, and he has seen democratic and republican times. He declares that the farmers are buying good goods and are living better than they ere did before. "The average farm lad of 10 Is better clothed, and at more expense than his father was at 21,55 says Mr. Williams. "I do not believe the farmers, whether of one party or another, wish to change these conditions," adds the Knlghtstown merchant. SENSATION EXPECTED TO M Some sensational developments are expected tomorrow 'morning when-the steel plant padded pay roll cases come up for a preliminary hearing in the mayor's court. Foreman Walter Thomas and Timekeepers John Caldwell and Charles Bloomhuff, who were arrested and charged with conspiracy to commit grand larceny, will be arraigned in the city court. Bloomhuff and Caldwell secured bail yesterday and were released upon bonds of $1,000. Both of the accused timekeepers are said to have denied their complicity in the case, and they threaten damage suits against the company. They were arrested in the steel plant after General Auditor McNammee swore to the affidavits. Other Involved. It is the general talk in the steel plant that others are Involved in the payroll frauds, and it is declared that some of the officials higher up may be caught in the dragnet. In any event every possible clue is being run' down and time slips, time clocks and pay checks are being scrutinized with miscrea"ical care. When Thomas was arrested after some foreign workmen made the complaint, the steel company's police department Were given the first inkling of any frauds. As a result many employes were shadowed and the two arrests followed. Previous Payroll Frauds. Last year David Pitzele, a timekeeper, was detected in payroll frauds and he Is now serving an Indeterminate sentence of two to fourteen years in the Jeffersonville reformatory. Pitzele's scheme was to carry "dead" men on the payroll. Either himself or an accomplice would cash the checks and keep the proceeds. KEEP THE KiDNEYS WELL Health is Worth.

Owners of ant' esDecially in East Chicago and' Indiana Harbor, will rejoice that the lateral sewer on Chicago avenue connecting with the One Hundred and Forty-eight strtet sewer, has been completed. Nor will the motorists be alone in their rejoicing. The street car com pany crews and every man who drives a team between the two cities, will join in the chorus of acclaim, for the over a single track during the time the sewer was under construction, and every teamster and his team have been Inconvenienced for several weeks, while the building of the sewer was In progress F. G. Proudfoot, who has'been rushing the work with all possible speed ever since It was commenced, will be as glad as any body to bid farewell to the job. He expects by Monday to have not only the materials taken from the ditch returned to Its place, but a number of car loads of crushed stone to be spread upon the roadway, making the street in really better shape than It was J-efore it was torn up. The street was torn up from the C. I. and S. railfoad to the canal which represents a considerable stretch of roadway, especially as It Is the main artery of travel between East Chicago and Indiana Harbor. ' In the mean time the Green Engineer. Ing company, the Linde Air Products company, the United States Reduction company and all that nest of manufactories tributary to the sewer, are sounding paeans of praise as they now are provided with sewer connections.
