Rather Sarcastic.

Michigan City Dispatch: There is one Tipton county Sunday school teacher who thought Michigan City too tough a place to visit since it voted against option will not come here or go anywhere else with his school.

A violent electrical and thunder storm swept over Hanging Grove, one in the forenoon and one in the afternoon, that left a trail of destruction. Lightning struck C. W. Bussell’s barn, killed one black mare and knocked down a coming three year old colt, but it is thought the latter will recover, but it laid unconscious for a couple of hours, that it could hardly be seen to breathe. Lucklyjthe barn was not set on fire, but several of the rafters were torn out, shingles torn oft, etc. Arthur Williamson had two young calves killed during the afternoon session of the storm. In both cases the property was covered with insurance, but has not been adjusted as yet.

Hicks Says August Weather Will Be Full of Storms.

Parson Hicks, in his weather pronostication for August, starts the ball rolling with the reactionary storm period on July 31st, and August Ist. These storms will be decided thunder gusts and will be followed by cooler weather. A record storm period is central on the 6th covering from the 3rd to the Bth and marked mid-summer storms bringing severe thunder storms and violent gusts of wind will happen to many localities. A reactionary storm period is central on the 11th and 12th, these storms will be largely rainless and blustering. Beginning on the 15th and extending up to the 20th is another regular storm period and beginning of the autuipnal equinox. At this time we will begin to reach the climax of summer heat and any ominous storm clouds that may arise should be a warning that should not go unheeded. In earthquake belts in the various parts of the globe there will be a considerable shaking up. Following the 21st .a prolonged spell of cloudy days is promised with drizzling rains. On the 25th the temperature will again rise and summer storms will follow that will last until the 28th. August ends in a regular storm period covering six days and will be noted for cyclonic disturbances and great tidal waves. It is probable that these storms will not reach as far north as the middle states but such a thing may be expected. From Hicks’ outline August will not be a month of unmitigated heat and drouth but then we can expect “all signs to fail” In dry weather.

Gary’s Mayor Orders the “Blind Pigs” to Close.

Chicago, Aug. I.—As the result of a clash between state and city officials over the suppression of vice and lawlessness at Gary, Ind., that “model town” tomorrow practically will be under martial rule. Deputy sheriffs under command of Sheriff Thomas Hunter, of Lake county, will take charge of the situation over the head bf Mayor T. E. Knotts and his police department unless that official carries out his declaration that he will at once check the notorious liquor lawlessness. t> While the “blind pigs” were running wide open tonight, Mayor Knotts announced that neither troops nor deputy sheriffs w’ould be necessary to close up the illegal saloons and disorderly houses of Gary. He declared that in the-future he intended to enforce the law to the letter and that before the day was over every “blind pig” would be closed and deserted. “There’s nothing to this talk of troops and deputies,” said the mayor. “I’m capable of running this town myself and if they want everything closed up tight I will give them what they desire. After this I’m putting on the screws tight and those who do not observe the law will go to jail. Nobody will be excepted and I want it understood right now that I mean what I say.” Following the announcement of Governor Marshall of Indiana that he would send the state militia to Gary if the officials of that town did not take immediate steps to stamp out the border lawlessness, Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Hodges declared that he would have several hundred deputy sheriffs sworn in if necessary to close up the “blind pigs” and other illegal places which have been flourishing in the city. Prosecutor Hodges openly charged Mayor Knotts with failing to perform his duty as the chief executive of the city. He also said that more than 100 "blind pigs” were operating unchecked in Gary, At least fifty of these, he said, were selling liquor without even a government license. The federal authorities will be asked to investigate the alleged Violation of the revenue laws. “I am taking my stand with the better element of Gary behind me,” said Mr. Hodges. “This week will see the end of ‘blind pigs’ and other disorderly places, and we will not wait for Mayor Knotts to take the initative.”

Entire Town Is Built of Concrete In Washington.

At Metaline, Wash., there are fortyeight buildings and every one of them down to the smallest outbuilding, is made either from molded cement and concrete or from concrete blocks. The building of the town began last March, when Henry Jones erected a store, which is now the postofflce, of concrete. The materials were easily and cheaply obtained, and as fast as new settlers arrived concrete buildings sprang up. A new school house, with steeple, is made from concrete. Two churches are being constructed, and the town’s water supply is hoarded up in a tank made of concrete blocks, standing on solid concrete piles. The water supply, while adequate for a small city, will not be needed for fire protection, for the little place is as fireproof as pig iron at the bottom of the river. The building up of a solid concrete community, in the state where the heaviest stand of virgin timber abounds is a novelty, but the little town of Metaline is proud of its distinction. < i

An Illinois Town Is Base Ball Mad.

Moro, 111., is the most base ball mad village in the world. Now the preachers have become fans, as the result of a truce with Manager Fritz Boettger, of the Moro Maroons. The town’s two preachers wanted Sunday base ball stopped. Manager Bottger changed his big games to Saturday afternoon, and the preachers are always on the sidelines, shouting encouragement to the Maroons when they play the Staunton Braves or any other nearbush teams that thrive thereabouts. Bottger wants the two ministers td z be his battery some afternoon, and they say they’ll accept the offer. The car department of the Southern railway shops at Princeton, Ind., which has been running light nearly two years, is recruiting to its full force and full time, preparing for a rushing fall business. Increases of forces are being made all along the line.

Who Is This Man That Is Supposed to Belong Here.

Lafayette Courier. A man representing himself as John Thompson and stating he lived upon the fgrm owned by William Myers near Raccoon, tried to pass a bogus check at Indianapolis Wednesday for |SOO drawn on the Indiana National bank at Indianapolis. The institution refused to honor the note and later received a telephone communication from the capital city saying the piece of paper was no good and that Thompson was without a deposit in their institution. Other important information was told in the dispatch. The telegram said a man came into their place of business several days ago under the same name and tried to cash a draft for |5,000, drawn on the Marchants’ National bank* of Lafayette. As soon as the check was honored Thompson went out and bought an auto. The company selling the machine refused to recognize the payment and the stranger took the money, but the banker failed to see him again. It was learned late? that Thompson was without deposit in the Murdock institution. The officers are on the trail of the accused and have found that his name is Wilson instead >of Thompson and he resides near Rensselaer.,They expect to land the stranger soon. ' This man going under the name of Thompson was a former “visitor to the West Side and arranged with Frank Clemens for the purchasing of the Kalberer home. While here he represented himself the same as at Greencastle. Freedom for J. Howard Phillips, embezzler of the Terre Haute National bank’s funds, was obtained when a 15,000 bond was furnished for his appearance before Judge Anderson la 1 the federal court next October.

Boy City Notes From ! ’ Boy City Dally News.

(Friday, July 30.) Boy City. There is a land of reaT fun Down at Winona Lake, It’s full of noise as well as boys— It’s the place that takes the cake. Of course, if you are in a stew When there’s a boy aroun’, The best thing you can ever do Is to keep shy of our town. For when we feel we’ve got to squeal Or whistle, yell or whoop, We simply just have got to bust And you’d best “fly de coop.” ,A real boy’s a real joy, If you know how to take him; But if you don’t and what’s more won’t He’ll be just what you make him. In Boyville we are trying to see If we can’t act like you, Be honest, square, upright and fair In everything we do. . So then if you drink, smoke or chew And don’t want us such things to try, Just be a man and then we can Pass all such evil habits by. —H. A. Pershing. At 2:30 o’clock prompt yesterday afternoon Mayor Clark threw the first ball over the plate that started the Boy City Base Ball League going for the season of 1909. The band was Out and rendered several selections during the contest. The contestants yesterday were the teams from Chicago and Rensselaer and both nines put up an interesting game full of life and vigor. The final count was 7 to 4, with Rensselaer taking the long end of the score. The losing team has three more chances, so it is not out of the running for the pennant. Harrold Clark, of Rensselaer, joined the camp from that place yesterday. He pitched for the Rensselaer nine yesterday and twirled a fine game. He is a heady ball player and altogether he is a good all-around man on the diamond. Tomorrow morning the Band nine and the Chicago boys will cross bats at 9:30 o’clock, and in the afternoon Rensselaer and Union Mijls will be the opponents. The following schedule has been arranged: July 29, 2:30 p. m., Chicago vs. Rensselaer. July 30, 9:30 a, m., Band ys. Chicago. July 30, 2:30 p. m., Rensselaer vs. Union Mills. July 31, 9:30 a. m., Band vs. Union Mills. August 2, 9:30 a. m., Chicago vs. Union Mills. August 2, 2:30 p. m., Rensselaer vs. Band. Today will decide the fate of the two political parties, whether they will win success or meet defeat. Neither party need feel it a disgrace to lose, if it has fought fair and square and did its best at all times. Since neither the Land or Water party of the first year were recognized, it became necessary to choose entirely new issues, with the result that either candidate for mayor could run on his opponent’s platform with very little difficulty, making the contest one of personalties rather than of live issues. This afternoon the officers will be elected for the coming year and every citizen should think well before he casts his vote whether or not he is acting for the best interests of Boy City without regard for personal issues. The question which should present itself to all should be, “How can I do the most good for Boy City”— and having once settled this question, we hope that every boy in camp will

have" spirit enough in him to do what he thinks right. Manager Collisson, of Boy City, has been congratulated many times on the manly young citizens of his city. They attended the Damrosch concert last night, and it was not noticeable that a party of over a hundred boys was in attendance, so quiet and gentlemanly was their conduct. Prof. W. H. Collisson, director of Boy City, will entertain the leaders of the different camps of Boy City today at dinner at his cottage, the Cricket.
