Pinkham's Vegetable Compound; they keep on buying it, and they will continue to buy It just as long as it proves such a wonderful success in curing female ills. Enormous quantities of roots and herbs are used annually in making this good oldfashioned remedy and the test of time bag proved its merit. Adv.

CITIZENS TICKET WINS POINT (Continued from page one.) city clerk went to Judge Kopelke on a change of venue from Judge McMahan in the circuit court, a temporary restraining order against Snyder having been obtained from Judge Mcila-

man "oat Friday. The temporary restraining order provided that Snyder should appoint none other than Moore to represent the progressive party and incidentally also the citizens' party, because of the fusion. The board of election commissioners, therefore, will consist of City Clerk Snyder, a democrat; J. H. Smith, the choice of the democratic party, and Ross Moore. The law says that the clerk shall appoint commissioners from the parties which cast the highest vote in the state in the last general election. Under the present conditions that would apply to the democratic and progressive parties. The city clerk, however, took the position that inasmuch as the progressives had no separate ticket in the field that therefore the law would not be applicable In the city of Gary for the coming election. Judge Kopelke held to the contrary. COMPLETED VERY SOON The completion of the dockage along the Indiana Harbor canal Is now matter of a short time, so far as thu East Chicago company's undertaking is concerned. There is over three miles of piling, seventeen thousand three hundred and six feet, to be xact. The Great Lakes Dredge and Dock company who have the contract, will drive the last pile this week and wiil then start at once on the task of putting the anchor rods. There is a double row of plies, thirty feet apart, one row driven along th bank and the other out into the water. The piles are to be connected with anchor rods, to hold the outside row and its sheeting in position. The space in between will then be filled In with sand fron the dredge. The pile driving and anchoring has been finished on parts of the west branch and the Michigan is now at work just East of Forsyth avenue, filling in. The Indiana Is at work west of Forsyth, on the same task. This dockage Is in front of all the property owned by the East Chicago company, both on the west branch and on the south branch from the forks to 141st street. A strip of fifty feet of concrete low dockage was also built at Calumet avenue, which Is practically the end of the canal. This dockage is built Just above the water level and is put In more in the nature of retaining wall, but It can also be used as a foundation of a freight dock on which either concrete or a wooden cap may be placed. This section of low dockage is located on the property that the city

E CLUB AFFAIR A smoker of the White Eagle Pleasure club at the White Eagle buffet la West Hammond began Saturday evening and broke up Sunday morning in a riot, thus creating a little of the local nthmosphere on which the State Line village built its reputation. Ok raj ttoelU It Lone-Handed. Chief of Police John Okraj, mounted on his noble stee-V a high geared bicycle, charged into a throng of fighting townsmen in a vacant lot beside the saloon. The air was blue with profanity, men were being trampled into the ground and panic reigned until the chief arrived. Going at a furious rate he hit the mob amidships scattering members of the White Eagle Pleasure club on both sides. One by one the chief unaided laid them low until he was ths only rioter left. With no more world's to conquer he peddled away. vj Jail to. Small o Arrests. It would have pleased the chief very much to have accomodated the club with a trip to the city cooler. Owing to the meager capacity of the jail this was impossible. The chief is democratic in bis administration of law and order and it did not appear fair to him to arrest ten or a dozen and let the balance go free. ( People in West Hammond are Inclined to speculate as to the brand of cigars consumed at smokers of the White Eagle Pleasure club. SUCCESSFUL COUNJY FAIR One of tJhe most successful church affairs eve held in East Chicago, was the "county fair" given under the auspices of the Woman's Guild of the Mission of the Good Shepherd at Odd Fellow's hall .Saturday .evening. The event including donations made to the "corner stone" which was a leature of the fair, realized a net profit of $230 to be devoted toward the erection of a church. Mrs. Paul Parkes Llewellyn was the chairman of the committee which managed the affair, and while she had good assistance from her associate sin the guild, it was due largely to her efforts that the fair was the splendid success it was. Had it not

Odd Fellows Hall had been transformed by the erection of booths elaborately decorated with autumn boughs, pumpkins, corn-stalks, and crepe paper in the hallowe'en colors. The cafeteria proved a money maker, this feature being presided over by Mrs. William Meade. Mrs. Grace Loucks had charge of the home bakery, Mrs. R. P. Hale of the candy, Mrs. Adam Hermansdorfer and Will Hale fortune tel lers, Mrs. George Crummy fancy work. Miss Helen Davis the children's booth. Mr. Starr Barnum of New Haven, had the weighing machine and A. G. Lundqulst of Indiana Harbor acted as auctioneer. Mr. George Ktandish was at the door and Mr. Lewellyn was general factotum. The kitchen was looked after by a number of women, who worked together, no person being specially appointed to have charge of thla featur Mr. Lundqulst made a splendid auctioneer, his part proving one of the main attractions of the evening. VICTIM OF FOOL DYING Paul Janish, an unfortunate victim of the man who didn't know the gun was loaded, is dying at the Gary Mercy hospital. Janish was shot by John Mershek while the latter was examining pistols. The first one he handled wasn't loaded and Mershek concluded that the second one wasn't. It was.
