Steel Drmmd Continue. Notwithstanding that August is usually a dull month, the demand for steel continues unabaated, and orders, according to representatives of certain companies, exceed production. Many plants are far behind in deliveries and it looks as if the mills of the country will be kept in active operation for the remainder of the year. The tendency of steel prices is upward and substantial premiums are being obtained on certain grades of steel for future delivery. The pig iron production of the United States Steel corporation this month will probably a new high record. The output last month was greatly in excess of 1,000,0000 tons. The Chicago & Northwestern will build a belt line west from Ravlnia,

English cablegrams today say that
American iron and steel manufactur

cepted as an additional Indication that the Iron and steel trade are booming.

EGS BRICK
il HIS WIFE
YESTERD
(Special to The Times.)
East Chicago, Aug. 11. A warrant
was issued yesterday before Judge Wil
liam A. Reiland for the arrest of Wil
liam Lindert, who is charged with hav
ing thrown a brick through the front
window of his former wife's dwelling
in Forsyth avenue.
This is not the first time Mr. Lindert has been in similar trouble. About three months ago he appeared before Judge Reiland because he was con
stantly annoying Mrs. Augusta Lin
dert, who had secured a divorce from
him some time previously. On this oc
casion he was given a light fine by
the East Chicago megistrate, on the promise that he would let Mrs. Lin
dert alone In the future. But Mr. Linert fails to see why Mrs
Lindert, once his wife, Is not always his wife. He holds the decree she se
cured from him about a year ago as
not worth the paper it is written on.
She is still his wife, he maintains, and if he wants to throw bricks through
her window, he has a perfect husbandly
right to do so.
Mrs. Lindert is well connected in
Whiting, being a member of the old
and respected Harms family, who
were among the first settlers in the Oil City.
While fiery editorials are appearing the country over regarding the present uprising involving Bolivia, Chill and other South American republics
while scare heads splash front pages of the sensational presss with red ink and
scream blood-thlrstlngl v of riot and
revolution, little if anything has appeared concerning the American lega
tions In any of the countries concerned in the little unpleasantness.
What is doing down there at La Paz
anyway?
It Is not generally understood that
the American minister to Bolivia, which country seems to be the most strenuously engaged in the endeavor to rend itself as under, is an Indianian. Of course the personal friends of the diplo
mat himself are scanning eagerly all
bits of news published on this, to South
America generally, all absorbing topic,
and watching for any mention that may ho made of the effect these conditions
are having on the legation. But nothing has been found to tell whether the American mister Is dead or alive, has been captured by the enemy, or is himself hearing arms in the cause, one way or the other. James Stutesman is the name of the American minister to Bolivia, and rem, Ind., is the town from which he hails. But Peru is not the only town that claims the popular and amiable "Jim" Stutesman. Indianapolis believes in a sense that Jim belong to it, and throughout the length and breadth of the statt he has friends galore, all of whom admire and esteem him in the highest sense of the word. Xo one could ever be found who
called Mr. Stutesman "Mr." after they
had known him for more than two
weeks, and "James" Is a title which
knows him not, other than as a matter
of signature. He is referred to quite frequently as "the bald eagle of the
Wabash," for his bald head Is one of his distinguishing features. lie Is an
all around good fellow, a prince In gen
erosity and the soul of Joviality and
good nature. In spite of all this hi3 tastes have a decided leaning toward the literary. He Is the personal friend of many of the Hoosier state's most distinguished literati, George Ade and Booth Tarkington being numbered
among his warm admirers and friends
His intimacy with Booth Tarkington may be measured by the fact that when the Tarkington baby was born, he was summoned to Rome along with George Ade and others, where the in
fant was to bo christened, to act as its
god-father. Jim made the Journey, per
formed the office and returned in time
to receive his appointment as minister to Bolivia, which he was given under President Roosevelt. He left for the South America ncountry last September. Jim Stutesman is still a bachelor, and the wonder of his friends Is, how he
has escaped thus far, for it Is cer
tainly not for lack of popularity among
the fair sex. He is about 45 years of age, and has served his state as legislator and in other political capacities.
ruring his term in the legislature he was prominently spoken of for the
speakership, but the office never went to him. although he was an odds-on favorite with the people who were
watching th? fight.

TIMES BUREAU AT STATE CAPITA
Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 10. The next
legislature will be asked by the antisaloon league to pass a law which will
prohibit the shipping into dry coun
ties iquor from wet counties In the
state. And If the legislature next time
is anything like the last two have been
the anti-saloon league will get almost
anything It asks for.
The league has found great difficul
ty in keeping dry territory dry because
individuals in dry counties can now
send Into wet counties and have liq
uor shipped in to them for their own
use. And It Is safe to say that In ev
ery county in the state that has voted itself dry by remonstrance there are
people who are constantly receiving
booze" from the outside. Do a Mall Order Business. Breweries have flooded the dry coun
ties with letters offering to ship beer
in. The plan is for the purchaser to
send his order by mail for the beer and
to send along with the order the mon
ey to pay for it. Then the brewery ships in the beer and a drayman hired by the purchaser gets it at the freight depot and takes It to the place designated by the owner. Generally the delivery Is made at the home of the purchaser. So the man can have his beer,
Law Woes Xot Touch Clubs. This trouble has extended even so
far as to the many social clubs that have been and are being organized In the various dry counties. The club buys the booze In the same manner as the private individual buys it and It
Is drunk by the members of the club.
There is no law on the books now
that will prevent this kind of business. The league officers and attorneys have sought In vain for some way to overcome the business, but they have fail
ed. Now. they propose to go before
the legislature and ask that the local option law be amended so as to put a stop to the shipping in of liquor.
Of course, the Indiana legislature cannot pass any law that will stop the
shipping in of liquor from other states.
but it is said that the anti-saloon league and the other temperance forces in the country will go after congress at the next session and try to have a federal law passed that will put a stop to that also.

East Chicago, Aug. 11. Covered with bruises, her jaw bearing an ugly looking swelling and her face a mass of black and blue spots, Mrs. Mike
Lnevewlch, the wife of a Croatlon laborer, living at 4727 Melville avenue,
appeared before Mayor DeBraie yester
day. Her mission was to plead for the brutal husband who was responsible
for her condition.
The fact that the husband had been

(Special to The Time?..) Crown Toint, Ind., Aug. 11. The management of the Lake county fair promises special arrangements this year in the matter of train service for the big fair so that Hammond, Gary,
Kast Chicago and Indiana Harbor people can get back and forth in good
shape.
The last day of this month August
31 ushers in the "get ready day' of the Lake county fair, at the pretty fair Kround in Crown Folnt. It will con
tinue from Tuesday, August 31 to Fridav Sept. 3. As has been the custom
the past three years a night show will bo held on the last three evenings and the after dark entertainment this year will probably be the feature of the fair.
Three thousand dollars has been ex
pended in special free features being
twice the amount ever laid nut before in this direction. The feature of the whole fair from an amusement point of vley will be the night show on the lake called a "Xight in Venice," being produced by the Gregory Fyrotechnical company. Over half a hundred characters are used, and each evening the spectacle will be closed with the greatest show of fireworks ever displayed in northern Indiana. The other free attractions that appear both afternoon and evening are Chefalo, leaping the gap and looping the loop; Madam Schu-
and Arno in acts of oddities; Delano
Bros., in herculean gymnasts, and La-
toy Urns., comedy acrobats.
Harney Young a;ul his concert band will again appear in concerts and will
render some special Venetian music
eaeii evening during the Venetian spec
tacie. Another night feature worthy
of mention is one under charge of Su
perintendent Charles Bailey, who will
at the beginning of each night show
open the program with a show of all stock on th.' ground. The track will be lighted 'J" electricity for several hundred feet for this aecasion, and this feature added to all the other program will make it of three hours' duration. Karly reports say that all of Lake county's best stock, including horses, cattle, sheep, hogs and poultry, will
be on exhibition and the revision of the premium list will bring out all the new, up to date handiwork of the ladies' needles. In the raejng department the same may be said. The society is offering right good purses, and the outlook for
a nice week of raring looks flattering. The admission is 50 cents on Thursday and Friday, both day and night. On Wednesday the old price of 25 cents will be maintained. As is the custom, Thursday is school children's day, when all under 15 years of age are admitted free If accom-

"her man" go free.
