It was said Saturday that the entire structure will be completed within the next week or ten days. It is planned to pour- the concrete flood gate today or tomorrow.

Ahead of Schedule. While officials of the company thought it would take five weeks to finish the dam, the construction gang engaged on the work surprised them and is completing it far ahead of schedule, as it 'appears now that it will take only three weeks. Work was resumed on the structure two weeks ago after arrangements were made with owners of the land above the dam. "If the city could build its dam as fast as we have built this one, the city would have a big lake by Christmas," A. E.

Staley said Saturday in discussing the rapid progress that has been made on the temporary structure that will impound a supply of water for the starch works as well as the city of Decatur. "We will close the dam some time this week and begin to impound a supply oi water." We will see then whether we will have to leave the gates open or whether there will be enotigh water below the dam to supply the city until we have the river full up to the top of the dam." Work Dny nnd Night. Workmen have been engaged on the dam day and night. The structure is made of sheet piling and heavy timbers. Two rows of sheet piling about 10 feet apart with rip rap between them will hold the water- in the river up to a height of 605 feet above the level of the sea, which is about 10 feet higher than the present water level at that point.

The dam will remain in place until the city completes its big structure. Kidnaper's Appeal to Accomplices Futile PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 7. More than 24 hours have-passed since Aug-usto Pasquale, known as "The Crank" made his appeal to his supposed accomplices to return thirteen months old Blakely Coughlin who was kidnaped two months ago, but up to tonight there had been no response. Pasquale now declares that the man who actually stole the baby is a Russian Pole.

"The other fellow and I got the $12,000 Coughlin left at Swedeland," Pasquale is reported to. have said, according to the police. "We wanted to return the baby, but the woman refused. She had become attached to the child and wanted to keep him." Pasquale also admitted, it was said, that the $12,000 was divided among the abductor, the woman and himself.

Pasquale was today identified by Mrs. William H. Yost who said she saw him carrying a baby through Willow Grove, on the morning after the kidnaping. Automobile Ring in Chicago Exposed CHICAGO, Aug. 7.

The dust had become so. obnoxious that motorists were staying off the roads to a great extent and it was for, this reason that rain was so badly wanted. There were light showers over Macon and adjoining counties early Saturday morning which did little but settle the dust.

Near Monticello and Bement there was a heavy shower Friday evening and this was followed by another shower Saturday morning. Roads in that direction were muddy for a time Saturday morning but soon dried up enough for motor traffic. With no more rain roads will be passable In all directions out of Decatur with an hour's sunshine. Heavier to East. In and around Hammond there was a good shower Saturday morning which settled the dust and made the roads slippery for an hour.

There was only a slight sprinkle Saturday night and roads in that direction are reported to be in excellent travelling condition. Dust is settled around Moweaqua, where there was a light shower Saturday night. The hardest rain was to the north and around Clinton the roads were rather slippery Saturday night. There was a light rain near Mechan-icsburg Saturday night but toward Springfield to the west the rainfall was heavier. Around Pana and Shelbyville there was a good shower Saturday which made the roads muddy for a short time but roads were passable Saturday night in that direction.

With the roads in. excellent condition today mortorists are expected to be out in force, as they will not be' bothered by flying clouds of dust after the rains of Saturday. Numerous trips are planned by motorists to the countryside as the atmosphere has been cooled to such an extent as to make country motoring pleasureable.

Governor THIEF CAUGHT BY ACCIDENT Culprit Brought into Po lice Station for Hitting Boy with Auto Following the airost of Joseph Oglesby, 1912 North Clinton street. Saturday evening on a charge of reckless driving after he had collided with a bicycle at Water and Washington streets, he was identified as the mar. who had stolen a tire from the automobile of William F. Montgomery Saturday evening by the fact that he had three fingers missing from his right hand. Police say that Oglesby confessed to the theft of the -tire atfer it was found strapped to the side of his car.

Knocked Boy Down. Joe Tonley, colored, was riding the bicycle which was struck at South Water and Washington streets and he was so severely bruised that it required the services of a physician to dress bis injuries. Members of the department saw the accident and as they say Oglesby was driving recklessly they arrested him and brought him to headquarters to face that charge. As he stepped from his car at the police station the police saw that he had fingers missing from his right hand, and as they had a report that such a man had stolen a tire from Mr. Montgomery's cat, suspicion centered on Oglesby at once.

The missing tire was found and Oglesby then faced a charge of grand larceny in addition to the charge of. reckless driving. He was placed in. 'jail to await the actioD of the court. "Saw Tire Taken.

When the tire was stolen it was an Mr. Montgomery car on State street, back of the Baptist church. He had just purchased the tire and had gone to a garage to buy a chain ar.d lock with whicn to secure it from thctt. When he returned it was gone. Persons near there had seen a man with three fingers off his right removing the tire from the back of the car and he had been seen roiling it down the street.

He had left it and had gone for his car, then time back for the tire. Although the matter was reported to the police department, they had no definite clue on which to work anil it was because of his reckless driving ancf subsequent accident that Oslesby was apprehended. The bicycle on which Conley was riding was a new one and it was damaged beyond repair. Tne boy suffered badly Lkinned knees and hands and was bruised considerably about the body UNION CHEMICAL COMPANY ELECTS Officers for tiie Decatur Union Chemical were elected in a meet-ins of the directors Saturday nignt. js follows: President Dr.

Said one member: "We believe that we are not far wrong in saying that fully 75 per cent of the value of the assessable property, in Decatur is represented in the returns that have been made. While we have no knowl edge of the revisions that have been made, we feel certain that when the envelopes are opened we will find that the tax returns have been in creased by at least 100.000." Arrangements have been made to submit the revised returns to the board of review Tuesday and In order to have as many returns as possible ready for submission the committee will accept returns up until 5 o'clock Monday afternoon.

SALE OF CEMETERY LOTS SUBJECT FOR SERIOUS THOUGHT Suggests That We Make Provisions Now for the Best When Needed Most.

The sale of lots in Decatur'e newest and most modern park burial place, beautiful Uraceland cemetery, opens up new vistas of thought, and, to the minds of most of us. brings questions which have hitherto been given little or no consideration. In the contemplation of the of this new cemetery, one is confronted by such question as these: Is it not the better part of wisdom while the vigor of health is coursing through our veins, while prosperous and successful efforts carry us to their benificent fruit to give thought as to how and when and where we shall rest when that sleep shall come to us? And should we not give thought to the possible adversities of life that for some unseen cause seem to inject themselves into our being at moments when we are least concerned, even to the extent of having our dear ones carried away away forever when least looked for? Knowing these possible realities-should we not make such provisions when least needed that ours may have the best when needed most? Facts About Graceland Cemetery. Graceland cemetery occupies an ideal location in the 1900 block on North Oakland just north of Grand avenue. It is a spot easy of access, and by nature rendered admirably suitable for the sacred purpose to which it is dedicated.

Landscape architects have been engaged and are Vorking on the land, scaping, shrubbery and tree planting. A lake is to be built in the center of the tract, which will add much to the park-like attractiveness. An important feature also will be the chapel which has been planned, and which It is the intention to locate at the east end of Section K. A receiving vault will be built in connection with the chapel. A public mausoleum is to be located east of the lake between the stately oak trees.

An attractive brick office and waiting room will be built near the entrance. $1 Down and $1 a Week. These are the very easy terms upon which lots in Graceland cemetery may be purchased.

Art Kramer of Decatur gave his vaudeville stunts, consisting of tight rope walking and juggling. The Miller airplane from Assumption made flights during the day. tol. linker There. Among the old time characters who were present was Colonel W.

J. Baker of Bolivia, now 93 years of age. Mr. Baker is the oldest Elk in the state. He had with him a clipping giving an account of his meeting Joe Cannon at the Elks' convention.

Colonel Baker was more than proud of it, and it was with a feeling of pride that he exhibited it to his hundreds of friends. Weather was ideal for a gathering of so many people, but the gray clouds and rain came as near spoil ing the affair as it ever has. Roads were in splendid condition, the heavy dust having been settled. When the picnic was instituted years, ago by the Farmers' Alliance the grove was filled with horses ana rigs. Such is not the case now, for more than 500 autos were parked among the trees, and the old faithful family horses which used to plod along to the picnic in the morning and home again at night, have pass ed out of existence.

Successful, as all the Morganvilie picnics are, much credit is due to U. Montgomery of Mt. Auburn, chairman of the association and master of ceremonies, and W. H. Clower of Osbernville, secretary-treasurer.
