THE TRIES. 3
MAGICIAN BEST EVER SEEN IN HAIfMD
Fredrik the Great proved to be an exceedingly clever magician at the Orpheum last night. For two hours he entertained an Intensely Interested audience with his slight-of-hand performances and his wonderful illusions. It would be difficult to describe all of his tricks, many of which were new, but a few of them deserve special mention. The Asiatic trunk mystery was probably the most interesting. All evening a trunk had been suspended from the balcony on a heavy rope. Finally Miss Georgia Felker, the magician's assistant, was placed in the mouth of a cannon and apparently shot into space. Then the trunk was lowered to the Ftage, and after it was opened it was discovered that there was a smaller trunk inside of it. This was opened and In a remarkably small space Miss Felker. the assistant, was found. Other tricks were the conversion of two glasses of sawdust into real coffee and cream; the production of doaTHE DAY IN HAMMOND Will Take Part in ParadeThe Hammond Newsboys' association at its meeting In Huehn's hall decided to take part in the Labor day parade.)

Three rings were borrowed from people In the audience. Apparently they were pounded to pieces to be used as bullets in a revolver, the tevolver was then fired a; a wooden box that had been hanging to a chain on the Etage all evening. The box was then opened, and after several smaller boxes had been removed, one from inside , the other, the rings were found tied to a rose and in perfect condition. The trick was an exceeding clever one. It was a common occurrence to remove live animals from incredibly small spaces and other tricks of equal cleverness, but too numerous to men tion were shown. Fredrik tha Great is a finished artist. He is without question one of the greatest In the world. The evening's entertainment was appreciated by all who saw It. ringside, including Wolgast who will be in Clabby's corner, and Packey McFarland In Gibbons' corner. Jimmy has started active training and wants to be in fine shape when he leaves for Australia next month. Arrested on Serious Charge. A. warrant was sworn out in Judge Ames' court yesterday morning for the arrest of Kobar Vlaso. charged with the unlawful and felonious purpose of extorting-$ from the complaining wit ness, Steve Tudor. Tudor appeared before Judge Ames and said that Vlaso came to him and asked him to pay six dollars which he owed for a board bill or he would serve a warrant for his arrest which Vlaso claimed he had in his pocket. It was learned that Vlaso did not have a warrant, and Tudor was lnlnformed to cause his arrest. Smith Found Guilty. Steve Smith, who was arrested yes terday morning on a warrant for provo cation, was found guilty In Judge Ames' court last night and fined f 1 and costs, amounting to $12.15. Smith had Arthur Howard, the com-' plaining witness arrested In Judge Presfs court yesterday morning for assault and battery, who was fined $1 and costs.

Sheriff Wood and Deputy Lindall came home empty handed last night fro mtheir hunt for the thief who stole the John Wisnoek horse. The Lake county officers joined In the quest, but with their efforts the culprit was not located. He was seen In Hammond in the earl morning and was traced until well into Chicago, but the trail was then lost. The thief is but a boy and. no doubt, he will be taken sooner or later. Valpo Vidette.

WEIRD TALES FROM
HOBARTJTOWNSHIP Ever since Hobart announced its intention of annexing sixteen more square miles strange things have Been going on in all parts of Hobart township. Here are a few of them: THE JUDGE 'AND THE SNAKES. Miller, Ind., Aug. 30i A strange snake tale is told wherein the vil lage judge. William Westergren, is the central figure. A couple of night's ago Judge Westergren's sons brought home a nice four-foot water snake. Wishing to present it to friends in Gary the judge, fed the reptile and placed it in a 5 box over night. Bright and tarty the next morning the judge got up and went out to feed the snake her breakfast. What did he see? Mrs. Snake now had a family of 42 little ones. As the Judge approached, following their usual habits, the little snakes ran to their mother, who opened her mouth. Then each and every one of the 42 snakes, who were in line, one by one, scrambled inside of the mother snake. Judge Westergren said It took three minutes for the swallowing process. The Judge then hid behind a tree and, seeing no danger, the baby snakes emerged from the mother snake as fast as they went In. A TALE FORM AETNA. Aetna, Ind.. Aug. 30. A hen hawk early yesterday tried to pluck a diamond stud from the B'nlrt bosom of Walter Edwards. It is supposed the bird thought it was dealing with a glow-worm. Edwards tried to beat off the bird with his hands, but failed and then Jonah, a pet game rooster, flew to its master's aid and pecked out the hawk's eyes. The battle between the two ani mals was a lerrinc one, and lor a time it seemed that the hawk would put the game rooster out of business. SIXGILAR DOIXGS IV HOBART. Hobart, Ind., Aug. 30. A little brown dog, shut out for half an hour on the second floor ledge of the opera house, 18 feet above the street, frantically sought escape. Espying a large and heavily trimmed hat below, whose owner was waiting for a street car, the canine jumped. It landed squarely on the millinery without striking any hat pins, then again jumped to the ground and scampered off. The hat was ruined, and the hat's owner was scared almost to death. fear the outcome of this game as he has fortified his pitching staff for the coming week. Helin has secured the services of Harvey Shelby. Three-I League product. Shelby has been the star pitcher on the Decatur club who are now fighting for the pennant. Shelby is a big right-hander and will finish the season with Whiting, he be ing compelled to stay In Chicago owing to Illness in his family. Monday afternoon the East Chicago bunch will invade Whiting and they will be out for defeat, looking for re venge for the defeat Helin handed to them a few weeks ago when they lost their first game to Whiting or the sea son. Adds to Its Yards. The Indiana Harbor Belt railroad, is adding to its yards at Blue Island. The addition is being made to take care of the increasing buisness of the compa ny. No . other improvements are being made and it is believed that expenses will be kept as low as possible this year. 7.000 TON A DAY IS 0. S. STEEL New Blast Furnaces Will Be Started to Meet Record Demands. Orders are being received by the United States Steel Corporation at the rate of over 7, 000 J yons per day more than for the same period of 1910. Thl shows that the corporation's market Is in no Immediate danger. Orders per diem are well in excess of 32,000 tons. Blast furnaces of the company are producing about 72 per cent of capacity and steel mills 77 per cent. It is probable that the company will light several additional blast furnaces to take care of Increased steel rolling. The company's stocks of -pig iron are low. Rail orders are being placed slowfy but In sufficient quantity to gradually increased earaings. Unfilled tonnage on the - American Bridge Company's books is now 15 per cent larger than at any time since the organization of the corporation. There Is positively no price cutting by this company, according to an official. The American Steel & Wire Co., an other subsidiary of United States Steel, reports orders coming in at the rate of about 7,000 tons a day. This 1 better than any August for the past three years and a gradual Increase over the past few weeks. The company's plants are operating between 75 and 78 per cent of capacity. Representative W. O. Stanley of Ken tucky, chairman of the Steel Investigating Committee o fthe House, said !n Chicago yesterday. "If the United States Steel Corpora tion gives us Information as Judge Gary offered it, it will be only a matter of a few months after the committee's hearing is reopened on October 1'3 until we complete our investigation. But If it Interposes objections to turn-

BATHING EAR IS NAME OF NEWLY WUND WORRY Eastern Doctors Say Too Much Diving Produces Affliction. It is declared that eastern specialists have decided that a peculiar affliction of the ear that seems to be prevalent particularly among persons who have indulged In ocean or lake bathing Is the result of too much diving. It is a fact that an unusual number of boya and young men have been similarly, afflicted this season, but the local doctors had not regarded the un usual number as anything moje than probable coincidence. One 13-year-old boy was seriously affected for ten days or two weeks. What Dlaeaae In. A Philadelphia dispatch says that patients by the hundreds have sought remedial services In that city alone. In that city Dr. E. B. Gleason was besieged by so many patients who invariably stated they had just returned from seashore outings that he communicated with professional friends at various water resort's, with the result that it was decided the ear affliction was the result of excessive diving. "Bathing ear," Dr. Gleason says, "is caused by the beating of the water into the earsof persons who have unusually large cavities In helr ears. The water seeps into the orifice of the ear, and if It happens to be laden with water bacteria it is followed by earache, headache and often a stubborn discharge." . If you would avoid "bathing ear. therefore, the physician says, dive seldom, and when you do dive avoid the Englishman's habit of wagging your head beneath the waves, STIEGLITZ PARK.
