Assessor William Black and County At

torney J. Frank Meeker left for the

capital yesterday morning bound on the same business. It is expected the

sessions at the capital will last at least two days. The Lake County Odd Fellows' association, who will picnic at the fair grounds on August 5, are making great preparations for an enjoyable day and have already prepared an excellent program for the day's pleasure. Crown Point people in general should lend the local lodge their assistance in extending the hand of good fellowship and hospitality to the visiting Odd Fellows. This is one of the many ways of boosting the city. The sky has been a good sight to

An Indiana HarborTar that was coming along at the time also waited. On came Carl, waving a friendly greeting to Judge Riley and the passengers on the car. "Never touched you!" he shouted, as he pursued his devious way. It was the bent axle and not Carl Anderson's condition that was responsible for the auto's course. The machine 1 put up for repairs, Jtut Carl says his only reason for taking such action is the fact that with the bent axle it requires too -much gasoline. He rather fancies the motion, a,nd It seems like considerable lord of creation to cause the autos he encounters to take

to the ditch and to hold up street car traffic while ho keeps on his merry way.

out and remedy the situation to a great extent and reduce the danger of rabies to a minimum. It is only these kind of dogs that roam the streets to any great degree, the valuable ones be"ing watched and kept at home. The ordinance If passed will also affect the country dogs. as not one of them can come visiting without being arrayed with the regulation muzzle. With some the measure meets with their entire approval, but to those who have pet flogs that are well cared for the idqa of muzzling them the entire year seems to be beyond reason, and many will deprive themselves of their "man's "faithful friend" rather than impose a muzzle on them the entire year. Yesterday's horse market was not up to standard and the crowd of farmers and buyers was below the average in numbers. Farmers are too busy at this time of the year to sell, horses or come to the sale, and yesterday's sale consisted mostly in the "swapping" of plugs and the sale of a few good ones. Possibly not over twenty head exchanged hands during the day. County Auditor Charles Johnson left last evening for Indianapolis, where

JOY RIDE CERTAINLY A WONDER

TIMES HI" RE A I", AT STATE CAPITAL. Indianapolis, Ind., July 18. A dls

patch from Washington, which was published here a few days ago has set some of the political tongues to wag

ging in regard to James P. Goodrich

of Winchester, as a possible candidate

The mason work on the Leroy school ! 'or the Republication nomination for

Goernor. Thisdlspatch said that Prosi

dent Taft's visit to this state on the third and fourth of July had given the president a better view of Goodrich

and had caused him to make favorable

comment on him.

It said that since the return of the Dresldent to Washington there had

men assisted in this, offering their commiserations, but Carl explained that a little thing like that needed no sympa-

uaruaauJuaa Xriends had spent theJ

day In Chicago. 'Nuff said. The friends were from Kast Chicago, but when Bast Chicago was reached on the return trip it was decided that it were a pity for goodfrlends to part when they were , having such a good time. They accordingly sised on their

way to the Harbor, where more good times were had. It was while driving back to Fast' w Chicago that the really high spots in

speaking from a high diving standpoint. , The shades at eve were descending. Carl and his machine and the three friends were careening down Michigan

avenue with all sail set. At Kennedy

and the steering gear momentarily got the better of the driver and took the

machine and its load onto the grounds of the American Steel Foundry company. Here it executed as neat a little summersault as ever a machine negotiated. ! Workmen from the foundry rushed to pick up the dead, but to their surprise when they reached the spot Anderson and two of his companions were busy righting the machine. The work-

The axle was nearly bent double, but that made no difference. The machine plowed ahead Just the same. Before reaching the road, however, Anderson discovered that one of his friends was missing. A search of the vicinity re

vealed the missing one in the weeds.

lngton politicians about Goodrich us a candidate for Governor, and that the talk was growing. Nobody seems to have consulted Goodrich in regard to the matter before it was published, for it Is known , that on many occasions

Goodrich has said that he was out of

He had been asleep when the auto politics and that he would not take any

turned over and when found inquired "where he was at." On being given the necessary explanation he returned to the car, where he stuck until Euclid avenue and 137th street was reached. Anderson was within the speed limit at this point, but Just within it, and on a sudden turn the man shot out into the middle of the road. Once more he was gathered tenderly up and replaced In the Anderson machine, and following this casualty Anderson managed to reach Kast Chicago In safety, dellved his various loads at their several doors, and start back for the Harbor. ' It -was near the "canal that Walter Riley and his colored porter noticed a strange apparition approaching them, it looked like an auto, but If an auto, it seemed to be laboring in a heavy

sea. Anyhow It took up the entire

road. It clgzagged this way and that,

first one side of the road and then on

the car tracks and back again.

"See what's a-comin'," yelled Riley's porter, and sprang from the car. Judge

Riley, being a careful driver and not

nomination for any office. One many

who says he talked with Goodrich since the publication of the Washington dispatch says that Goodrich told him he was not and would not be a candidate for the nomination, regardless of what people might say about it. And it is

belleed that this expresses exactly fiia

feeling in the matter. Goodrich has served his time In the political game and

deseres to be allowed to retire and de

vote his time to his own business if he wishes to do so. For ten years he was state chairman, and he never lost an election until the one of 1908, and nobody has eer blamed that defeat to him or his work. Indiana would have gone Democratic that year no matter who was In charge of the campaign. It was in the air. N Republican In Indiana has a better record as a party man than Goodrich. He has stood fast for the interests of the party at all times. He has neer been so closely allied with any faction as to make him really a faction man. Both sides like him. He Is one of the old line fellows who has the good will of the Beeridge element.

While he was not especially active in

the campaign last year, he did more work than some of the others. He did not refuse to do anything that he was

asked to do. On Beveral occasions. It is known. State Chairman Lee called on Goodrich to take charge of certain parts of the organization work, aim

not once did he fall to make good. It is known that on one occasion Goodrich had planned a trip to a lake with his family and 'was all ready to go when Lee asked . him, to go out in the state and do some organization work. Goodrich called off his trip and did the

work. It Is known, too, that some of the others who were called on did not do the work. Some of them did not

een show up around the state head

quarters during the entire campaign.

All of these things have made Good

rich popular with the Beeridge fellows

and they have not Injured his standing

with the others. So, In case he should decide to become a candidate for the nomination fpr governor he would have

the same opposition to contend wltn

that would confront some of the otehrs.

The fact is, howeer, that there art

no avowed candidates for the Republican nomination at this time. Several men are being talked about, but none

of them has come out with an announcement that he is a candidate.

Former Governor Durbln wants to be

governor so bad he can taste it, so It is understood by those who watch, the game, but he has not entered the race

in a formal manner. If he does ne

will make the others trot some. One j

of his strongest supporters is Col. W. I W. Huffman, of Anderson, who travels

over the state in business, and Huffman told a friend the other day that Durbln would be a candidate and that he was willing to bet that Durbln would be

nominated. But this is as near to an

announcement as has been made.

Then there is William !. Taylor, of

this city. Mr. Taylor was (attorney

general while Durbln was governor,

and he was a good one, too. Taylor has elements of strength that are not

possessed by any other man thus far

mentioned. He Is especially strong

with the laboring people. He waa a railroad fireman for a number of years

and he knows what It means to shovel

coal into a big locomotive over a hundred mile run and go home tired out. He is on friendly terms with the leaders in organized labor throughout the state. Taylor also is a good organizer.

He knows "the political game. He has not ben a factional man In the party, and it is believed that he would be satisfactory as a candidate to al elements. Hugh T. Miller, of Columbus, former Lieutenant Goernor, also is looming up as a strong posibility for the nomination. He is regarded as one of the cleanest, straightest men in political life In the state. He is strictly high grade. He has never made any pretense at being a practical politician. a- this Is in his favor, but he is well Known all over the state, and if he announces his candadcy he will give somebody a horse race.

Charles A. Bookwalter, former mayor of Indianapolis, has not made any public announcement that he is not a can

didate for the nomination for governor,

but it Is known that he has no such intention. There was a strong boom in. the air for him a short time ago. and if he Had announced himself he could hae landed on his feet. In all proDabr.lty. But it is known tnat he has said that he will not be a candidate, and

that puts him out.

Just what running qualities Charles F. GHhams, former congressman from the Twelfth district, would hae a sa

candidate for the nomination for governor is not known, because he is not

well known over the state. News has reached here that he Is considering tne

idea of getting Into the race, but no

definite announcement has been made.

Up to this time, therefore, it is still

an open race in which any good man

can enter and be on the ground floor.

But it is likely that some of the asplrnnts will be getting busy before long and that they will soon be entering

their names on the list of candidates.

said When he recognized Mr. Wun:er as "Senator. Slack." According to this story L. Krt Slack of Franklin, former state senator and a former candidate for the democratic nomination for governor. United States senator, etc., etc., etc., conceived the idea of tryir.g to get the state bar association to iro on record on the constitution question. He talked around among some of the lawyers whf were known to be friendly to the proposition, and the result was, according to the story that is being told, that Slack prepared the resolution and handed it to Wurzer for the latter to introduce. It is said that President Ketcham knew of this and that this was why he used a little carcastn in recognizing Wurzer as "Senator Slack." Evidently he wished to give the real author of the resolution full recognition. When the story leaked out here it caused some merriment, for there is no doubt that the proposed constitution was in worse shape after the Incident than before. It would have been much 'better for the thing if it had never been mentioned in the meeting than for it to be forced to the front and then squelched as It was in this case. The story is being told, not by democrats, but by republicans who happened to be there. The democrats who are In favor of the proposed new constitution are not saying a word. Judge Kemster, of the circuit court of Marion county, before whom the

case is pending to prevent the election

Wlldermuth of Wlldermuth 8t Carnduff. eneral counsel for- the traction company, conferred with Mr. Seaman at his Chicago office. Tfee visit of the Gary official was to get a promise from Mr. Seaman that he would pave Broadway' center from the Little Calumet river to Forty-third avenue. He also agreed to remove the sand constructions near the southern terminus of the division and to resume construction by " the end of the month. Most of the Boardway division track has been laid but there seems to be some hitch in the- electrical department of the road. Whether It Is -the Inability of Seaman to make a contract for power is not known. The company has been also hampered for lack of funds.

( on Saving and Gas

ECONOMY does not consist in not spending money; it means getting full value for the money you do spend. Some people think that when the income is cut down it is time not to spend anything. They don't stop to think that by spending a modest sum then it is possible to save a great deal in the end. That is not only a theory, it is a condition when applied to the Gas Range. And it is particularly applicable when the ' attractive terms upon which Gas Ranges may be bought are understood. At no one time is the outlay burdensome and the total cost is small. The actual saving in money, year in and year out, on the part of housewives who cook with Gas will be made plain if you ask any one of them. If there were no other reasons than economy for installing a Gas Range now that one would be sufficient. But there are two other very strong reasons, Comfort and Convenience, to both of which the women of a househld are entitled. , - Ranges on "display at all of our offices.

Indianapolis, Ind., July 18. A good

many people are laughing over an in

cident that happened at the recent meeting of the state bar association at Winona Lake in connection with the

effort that was made to get the asso

elation to Indorse .the Tom Marshall

constitution. It will be remembered that Attorney Wurser of South Bend Introduced a resolution In the meeting Indorsing the proposed constitu

tion, i

It was noticed at the time that W. A.

Ketcham of this city, former attorney

general of the state and president o

the state bar association, looked at

Wurzer when the latter arose and ask ed for recognition.

"Senator Slack," said Ketcham In giving Mr. Wurzer the floor with his

resolution.

There was a broad smile on the

faces of Rome of the lawyers present,

but nearly everybody thought it bad

been merely a slip of the tongue on th

part of Ketcham and that he intended

to say: "Mr. Wurzer."

Wurzer Introduced his resolution and

there was a warm discussion of the

questlbn of the propriety of the asso elation voting on the proposition. Fi

nally Charles W. Miller of this city.

formerly of Goshen and also a former

attorney general, made a motion to the effect that the association should not

take a vote on the constitution ques

tion or In any manner express itself

either for or against the proposition.

Miller's motion was carried and the as

nociation adjourned without commit

ting Itself on the matter.

But since then the story has been

, told that Mr. Ketcham jneaat whatbe

As there is very little grading to be

ed, and it Is expected the line will be completed early in November. Just as rapidly as laborers finish their work at other points they will be employed on this contract. The over-

MAN FOUND DEAD

Arth-r Whiteside, a former resident of Roselawn, was found dead alongside the Monon track at the depot platform in Thayer. He had -evidently attempted to board a passing freight train and fell and lost his life. A deep wound on the side of the head and a bruised thigh told the story of his death. The remains were taken to the home of his parents, at Hendersonvine, North Carolina, for burial. His age was 20 years. Reanslear Republican.

For centuries It was known to th rreat men of medical science that If Nature has provided a certain, yet simple remedy for Rheumatism, Gout and Blood Diseases, the hope of those so afflicted lay in the use of sulphur. And now Nature has given up her secret. A great chemist has succeeded in making sulphur as soluble as sugar or salt. Heretofore sulphur could be MifwM taken with great benefit even though Insoluble, but now it can be absorbed directly into the blood and thus accomplish wonderfully curative results. 6UL.FOSOL Is the name of this new vltallser of the blood, this expeller of uric acid and other bleodHalats and conqueror of Rheumatism and Gout.
