Representing himself as a govern ment employe, an unknown man went Into Whltaker and Granger's livery barn yesterday morning about 10:30 ,4 o'clock, hired a horse and buggy and has not been seen or heard of since. Flas.hlng a Moose lodge pin which he wore on the lapel of bis coat, the horse thief said he was well known, being a member of Chicago lodge number 260. Never suspecting him the liverymen hitched up the horse and the man drove away. When he did not return last night the men at the barn grew suspicious and notified the police this morning. Descriptions of the horse and buggy have been sent to the neighboring towns but few clews of importance has been learned. It is now the opinion, that when the horse thief drove direct Into Chicago where he will attempt to sell the outfit at some horse sale. The unknown man appeared to be a very smooth talker and claimed he. wanted the outfit to do some work with in Hammond. Description of man: 25 to 80 years old; height about 5 feet 4 inches weight 135 to 145 pounds; medium build; light complexion; light brown ftair; wore a black stiff hat; black shoes; light coat; brown trousers, and gray overcoat. Dark bay horse, 990 pounds, small white spot on forehead. In good condl Hon. Buggy, red running gear, top, black body, brown cloth cushions. Building Permits.

TIMES' BUREAU AT THE STATE CAPITAL. Indianapolis, Ind., Dec. 4. Democratic members of the house in the coming legislature are doing an enormous lot of jockeying for positions on desirable committees for the session. About this time of the year they begin to scheme around for the best annolnt- i ments and this atrUr for la-M crops out In the race for the speakership. There are now nearly a dozen i candidates for speaker. Of course, some of them do not expect to be elected, but It would not be at all surprising to find some of the more formidable candidates holding places on the most desirable and important committees when the committee list for the house is announced by the speaker. This appears to be perfectly regular and legitimate. It is the only way the member of the bouse has to make a campaign for the committee appoint ment where he thinks he can do the most good or where he feels that he is best fitted to perform his duties. There Is, of course, a possibility that this lofty purpose may not actuate every ', man that starts out to be a candidate j for speaker, but it is the purpose that ! most of them have In view. j Thrt havn heen nM in TiintnrT ! where men sought places on committees In order that they might make th session profitable to themselves, but It Is not believed that this is the case with any of the men now In the race for the speakership. An unscrupulous member might scneme arouna untu ne got an appoint- i ment as cl member nf the rommltte nr ' railroads, the committee on corpora- j tlons. one of the ludlclarv committees i nr .nm nthr ramnitta. whieh will i have much of the Important work to do. ; Opportunities for holding up corporatlons and others seeking favorable legislation often stare men In the face In such positions, and It requires a strong, honest, straightforward man to resist all of them and to keep out their entanglements. It oftlmes happens that a man that wants a position of this kind starts after it by becoming a candidate for speaker. He can line up a few votes for himself and then use these votes as trading stock with the man that is elected speaker. In return for these votes he might be promised that he would get the committee appointment that he wished. But all of the men now after the Townsend & Godfrey's addition. 150 State street, 50x50x24, P. W. Meyn, j owner; J. Homer, contractor. a,tuu. Lot 21, bloe k5.

Various other' engagements kept most of the members away, and those who did gather at the club rooms held merely an Informal session." Fifty Join New Class. The opening of a course for electrical workers in the Hammond hgh school brought fifty applicants together last night for the first session. The . students are all men who work at th trade, but who are anxious to get more of the theory of elect ricfty. In order that thone who started In may not be delayed by late comers, the application list will be closed next Thursday night. W. H. Henderson, principal of the night school, left this morning for Philadelphia to attend the session of the National Industrial association. Funeral Services. Funeral services over the late Burton S. Hutson. 119 Fayette street, will be held from the family residence Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The Rev. F. O.

speakership appear to be in earnest. They are building, their fences as best they can, and, all say they will stick to the end of the fight. Up to this time Homer L. Cook, Rep

resentative from Marlon county, has the lead in the contest for the speaker ship, and it begins to look like the others cannot bead him oft. He Is said have the support of Thomas TagBart and tne re8t of th machine poll"clan8 - DUl ne "aB "lB ""'Purl "l many of the antl-organlzatloa leaders. and thus he is sure of help from all sides. He has never been tied up with any faction In the party, and all are friendly to him. John Jsenbarger, of Wabash, another candidate, was in this city . yesterday spreading the news of his candidacy, and later he went to the shrine at French Lick, where. It seems, they all go to consult the night priest of the party. They all seem to think this la necessary. If Mark Storen. of Scottsburg. is a candidate for speaker, wheh he says ho Is not. he will be a formidable can didate, because he Is close to the state organization. In fact, he is a part of It. But Storen has written letters saying that he Is not a candidate. There is talk of Storen for the appoint ment as United States Marshal, but whether he will get this place remains I to be seen. The board of state buildings and grounds, which has charge of the state j house, has re-appolnted Thomas F. Colbert of this city custodian of the I state house, . and Colbert, in turn has ! ra-annnlnted all of the fnrre which h has had there during the last two years. This beard consists of the governor, secretary Of state and audltor of state. The appointment, there fore. Is good for fw years., because the auditor and secretary have been reelected, and they could out-vote Gov- ' ernor Ralston if he should take a no tlon to try to- oust Colbert after he takes office. But Ralston ,1s not ex pected to do anything of the kind. Charges are being prepared to be filed against Albert J. Beverldge and several other progressive leaders to oust them from membership In the Marlon club in this city. The charges will be filed this week. The. Marlon club Is purely a' republican organization, and the charges will say that Beverldge and the others are no longer republicans because they Joined a new party and worked for the defeat of the republican ticket. state of Western Australia to the opposite side of the Island was a 2,500mile Journey by b.at and rail, taking seven days. ' . . The Sydney Sun of Nov. 23 has a two. column wrlteup of Zanders, including mention of his bouts at Gary and Indiana Harbor last year. May See Kllbane. There Is some talk among Hammond promoters of matching Christy Zanders, Ernie's brother, with Johnny Kllbane at Hammond or Gary. Both boys -will make a 122-pound weight.
