J. Nordale of the Nor dale bakery this morning. The fresh meat will consist of five big steers grown on, the Missouri slope, eight hogs, twelve or fourteen sheep and hundreds of turkeys, chick ens, ducks, pigeons, squabs, geese, etc. This morning a committee consist ing of National Committeeman Ken nedy, W. E. Hunt, P. H. Cummings and Senator Green went to Island park and selected the site for the big oven which is being dug today, under the direction of Senator Green who is an expert barbecue man. This site is about a block south of where the speakers stand will be and a little west of that point. It is Just at the edge of the grove at the extreme end of Island park. How Barbecue Roasted. This big oven is simply a gTeat pit about eight feet square alid feight feet deep. It will be completely lined with fire brick, stones or fire clay if the latter can be secured. Twenty four hours before the time set for the beginning of the roast this pit will be filled full of maple wood and by the time it is necessary to start the barbecue roasting the big oven will be practically full of live glowing embers from which all the smoke has been eradicated. Over the top of the pit will be placed a close iron grating and on this grating the carcasses will be placed. The steers will be placed on first and around them will be grouped the smaller carcasses of the hogs and sheep. The fowl will be packed on the outside of this and bushels of po tatoes will be interspersed through the whole mass. These potatoes brown in the fat from the roasting carcasses and it is raid by those who have eaten barbecued meat that when it is cooked right, it is the most de liciously flavored meat imaginable.

LABOR TURN8 ON GOMPER8 Terre Haute Union Resents Effort te Deliver it to Bryan. Terre Haute, Ind., Sept. 25.—Vice President Phillip Davis and Secretary S. T. Ingraham of the Central Labor union issued a statement repudiating the reiterated announcement that Samuel Qompers is to speak in Terre Haute under the auspices of the cen tral body of organized labor. They say the union has taken no action 1*1 viting him and that it is not likely to do so. Word was received th&t he would make two speeches in Indiana and that he wanted to come to Terre Haute. President demons wants him to come as a guest of the Central Labor union, but the majority of the sixty members are opposed to it. "We object to Mr. Gompers coming to Terre Haute as a guest of the cen tral Labor union to make a democratic speech," said Secretary Ingraham. "We do not think it is right that he should try to influence the vote of union men on local candidates." Vice President Davis said: "Mem-' be rs of the Central union are divided, on party lines, and for this reason it: is not Just that the union should in vite Mr. Gompers to make a demo cratic speech. Let him come at the instance of the democratic central committee," The letter of Gompers written im mediately after the nomination of' Bryan, advising unions to take action., indorsing the nominee, has never been voted on in the Central Labor union,' and it is said that the best informa-| tion is that nine times out ten the letter has been thrown in the wast© basket. The Iron and Steel Workers'! lodge of Terre Haute, one of the strongest of its kind, voted unani mously against the letter and deplored Gompers' effort to turn qnlon, labor over to one political party.

Kurtzman, 100« Third avenue south, had her right hand se verely burned this morning in putting out a fire which was started by the flaring of a gasoline stove. The gas range in the basement laun dry of the Kurtzman home was out of commission this morning and Mrs. Kurtzman lighted a gasoline stove which had not been used for some time. The stove did not work just right ahd finally the gasoline flared up to the ceiling and the room was filled with flame and smoke. Just over the stove was the gas meter, which is used for measuring the city gas and the flame melted one side off this meter and allowed the gas to escape and the gas also ignited. Mrs. Kurtzman at once ran upstairs and called the fire department when she saw that the flames threatened to be serious and then she* heroically re turned to the basement and with a pall succeeded in getting out the lire herself. In doing this, however, her right hand was severely burned and will cause her a.great deal of pain, al though it is not believed that a scar will be left. By the time the fire department ar rived Mrs. Kurtzman had the flre out and there was very little damage done. In our busy basement, at Mood/i. U Saturday Bargains.,. At A. Leonardi. Leonard, N.

The party left at 11 o'clock for Davenport. A refreshing rain on Thursday night relieved the long dry spell and man and nature looks and feels better for it.

She went from Leonard, west one mile and from there to the Barfus place. She will give a liberal reward to anyone finding and returning the watch to her.
