' ELL-AM Absolutely Removes Indigestion. One package proves it 25c at all druggist. a FROM Mayor Callahan of East Chicago, returned last night from Indianapolis where ha was ir. conference with Governor Goodrich. Conscription Agent Eschhach and the attorney general in regard Vi tV .2 crcce'!ve quota assigned to this oity for c ! 'ion. Tbf t. ayor f :n l that bis suapici were couf.rmo In that the city had no rred-t whau-yer for soldiers that enlisted through recruiting sergeants at Indiana Harbor. The total number credited to the city was 115. white it should have been as high as 315 to say the least. Mr. Eschbach at once appreciated the situation and saw its injustice. After a conference, the state officials decided to wire Washington at once and see if the proper credits could not yet be placed upon the books. No answer has yet been received. It is said upon good authority, that there will be another draft in ninety days. If this proves true, the situation here In East Chicago can be corrected before that time so that the city as such. wilT not be o,ver-drafted. This 'situation Is a direct result of the ambiguity that exists as a result of a separate name being" given and recognised for one part of the city. Provost ?.Ia-ha! Crowler at Washington, t? wI.-ti tha vii.gn.at from Ind'anapoiia was sent, Is a l.usy man these days and It is not believed that he will cause all records pertaining to this county to be changed because of this error.

In the foreign quarter in the south side where 30.000 human beings are packed In a few hundred acres of sand wastes' that have hardly a bit of greenery because .many of the resi dents cannot afford to buy water supplied from Lake Michigan by the steel trust's water works they went through a living hell last night. The heat of the day kept up during the night, arising from the sand and the cement pavements. Throughout the night sleep was broken by the cries of babies and the moans of exhausted steel workers. All this suffering might be ameliorated in a degree If Wall street would only let the people of Gary have access to at least 100 acres of their seven miles of lake frontage In Gary. ERUPTIONS
