situation. In the first place, Miller is
a straight, regular ReDUbllcan and
always has been. In the second place he has never been Identified with any personal faction in the party, and thus
has gained and held the good will of all of them. In addition he is a strong
toperance advocate, a supporter of
county option, and this is the most im
portant of all considerations Just as this time, because there does not seem
to be a question of a doubt that the
Republican state platform will declare
in favor of the re-enactment of the
county option law.
Declined At First.
Miller all along had declined to get into the race for Governor on the greund that he had too much private
business to attend to and did not care
to sacrifice his own interests for poll
tics. Another reason that has been re
ported is that his family did not wish
him to become a candidate.
it is believed here, however, that these objections will be removed and
that Miller's name will go before the
convention. His friends and suppor ters are saying that if the county op
tlon people are strong enough to put a county option plank In the platform
they will be strong enough to control the nomination for Miller, and this is the view taken of it by many of the
politicians. Loekwood A Radical.
George B. Lockwood, of Marion, also
is a candidate for the nomination and
he la even a more radical county op
lion man than Miller, and yet Lock-
wood has announced that he will glad
ly step aside and throw his strength
to aimer In the convention if the laf ter will take the nomination. There
rore, in the light of recent develop
it loons more like Miller for
Governor than anyone else. Beveridge Dodging Honor.

Five men are mentioned for attorney-general, and out of the five the Bull moose will probably be able to get one to take the nomination. They
are L. N. Mace of Scottsburg, PerryBear of Madison, W. D. Headrlck of Indianapolis. Frank Snyder of Portland, and Phil Gould of Evansvllle. Mace was defeated for the republican nomination for prosecutor in
j Scott county. Bear was defeated for j the republican nomination for Judge i at Madison. Headrlck was defeated
for the republican nomination for prosecutor In Marion county. Snyder has been an insurgent for a long time. Gould is a regular republican and
county chairman of Vanderburg county. He. is not a bull moose at all and there is no intimation that he would accept such a nomination. Judge James B. Wilson of Bloomington is talked of for Judge of the supreme court from the first district. Wilson is not a Jbull moose, and his friends are angry over the connection of his name with this nomination. They declare that he is regular with his party. Theodore Shockney of Union City, and Henry U. Johnson of Richmond,

Following his attempt to settle a
quarrel between a number of Hessville
and East Chicago boys at Hessville
Saturday night. Henry Schoon, 28 years
old, of Hessville was seriously in
ured when he was shot in the abdomen
with a 22-callber rifle, the bullet pierc
ing the intestines in three different
places.
Angered because the East Chicago
boy had turned and shot him without
warning, Schoon gave chase for over two blocks, but being in much pain he
was compelled to stop. He walked back
to Thomas Gorman's saloon at Hessville, from where Dr. WeJa of Hammond
was called and rendered medical aid. Emmerllng's ambulance was summoned and Schoon was removed to St Margaret'et hospital, where It Is reported
that he has a good chance for recov
ery. An effort was made to And the
bullet, but as yet it has not been lo
cated.
Start a Man Host. The shooting caused a big commotion
among the residents of Hessville, who formed searching parties and worked
until early this morning, when six of the East Chicago lads had been placed
under arrest. As soon as they heard of
the shooting four motorcyclists, Bern

Chicago was arested on the charge of shooting school and this morning gave a full confession to the Hammond police. He is being held awaiting the
outcome of Schoon's condition, the case being filed in the superior court The other three East Chicago boys are: . Willie Smallman, 610 143rd street Mike Gragerlch, 142nd street. John Pepko, 610 143rd street
The account of the shooting, told by
the East Chicago boy is as folows: They were all together on their way
to the Little Calumet on a fishing trip
and when they came to Hessville they
stopped at Gorman's dance hall and
asked some small boys the way to the E. J. & E. bridge. It is said that the
Hessville boys then caled them some
names and one of the East Chicago lads
spoke up and said he could lick two of them If he wanted. The Hessville boys then went into the dance hall and
brought out Schoon, while the East
Chicago boys went on their way,
Schoon and the Hesville Jads followed
and Bchoon asked them who they were going to lick. At this the Oras boy and Schoon began to scufTle and Oras fired the gun the bullet striking him
in the stomach. Al the boys then scattered in differ
ent directions and made their get
away. Acording to reports Ora's repu
tatlon is anything but the best having been implicated in several escapades
in the past.
A Ghastly Spectacle.. An uncanny spectacle was witnessed

afternoon at 2:30 o'clock when horses
pulling a hearse became frightened and ran away. Only for the assistance of several men the funeral car would have upset and the coffin inside of it precipitated to the Btreet. A band

Hundreds of citisens in Indiana
Harbor and some of those living on the north side in East Chicago were interested shortly after 12 o'clock yesterday in watching a large balloon, which sailed maJestlcalTy over the Twin Cities. The balloon is supposed to have been one of the contestants in
the national elimination race which
started from Kansas City Saturday, and was probably either the "Million
Population J" of the St. Louis Aero club, or the Uncle Sam of the Kansas
City Aero club, no report having been
received from these two balloons up to late last night. As the Million
Population was supposed to have
passed ever Benton Harbor, Mich., yes
terday, the chances are that that was the balloon seen by Indiana Harbor
and East Chicago citisens as the one
they saw was going toward Benton
Harbor. Sight for Church Goers.

visitor made its' appearance, and therefor a larger number of people
than usual were on the street and had their attention attracted toward the object In the sky. Opinions differed
as to how high up the balloon was, but the general Impression seemed to be that it was sailing at a distance of from a half a mile to a mile from the earth. It was about fifteen minutes
from the time it was first discovered In Indiana Harbor until it was lost to
view.

Contrary to the recent expectations of steelmakers in the western district the volume of new buying of steel products is keeping up in heavy colume during July and local mills still aref orced to turn down a con
siderable tonnage which must go to other and less congested districts for manufacture. .This Is true espec
ially of the railroads, who have continued a fair demand for all the
classes of materials which enter into
their requirements, such as rails,
track fastenings, cars and locomotives.
Rail tonnages still are appearing, though in rather limited individual lots, most of them ranging below a few thousand tons in else. Local mills
have booked a few of these contrscts, where late delivery is called for, but the bulk is declined owing to the congested condition. Car Demand Continues. There are now estimated to be 80,000 .cars In the market where recently the estimate was only 20.000. The
railroads' decided demand for equip
ment is shown also by the course of
one road, which is said to be an example of many others. This road alone has ordered or is building In Its own shops 50 locomotives.
The constantly increasing difficulty
of getting deliveries on materials is holding prices firm and has given the market decidedly the apearance of a
seller's affair. Locally the price situation is pronounced very satisfactory.
There Is no complaint whatever aa to
prices from consumers, it is said, and
the primary consideration in the minds of all is the delivery question. Plate Mills Are Buay. Large orders placed by the car companies have resulted in steel-plate specifications which are greatly in excess of mill capacity. Plate mills now are booked to the limit of their5 capacity for the remainder of the year and are avoiding rather than looking for additional business. Some of the largest plate mills report they are operating at about 95 per cent capacity and are handicaped by labor shortage. This Is beginning to be a serious matter, as the men cannot be found-
referring, of course, to rough and unskilled labor. The extremely warm weather4 has also kept production down to some extent.

eager demand for. wire products, . In

Gary Gets Big Order. Sheet stel makers report heavy specifications. Inquiries aren ormal. There is a strong demand for tin and terne plate and a further advance In the prices of these products is expected to result from theincreased rush of business anticipated during the next month or two. New business in the structural market cannot secure delivery in less than four months. Continued improvement is noted in the fabricating plank, as consumers are willing to
offer premiums for prompt shipment and- no difficulty Is experienced in maintaining advanced prices. Some mills refuse to consider any considerble tonnage for the remainder of the year and are making no" contracts for
Consumption Can be Cured
But a few years ago. we were taught 1
that if a patient had consumDtlon that
his case was hopeless and. he must die. i
Today all is different. The medical j
journals and the dally papers are all ' enthusiasm about tuberculosis sanitar-!
iums and home treatment for consumption, and the medical profession 1 is at last united on the subject that'
consumption can be cured. But to :
cure consumption the utmost care and j rt
diligence must be exercised by both
the patient and the doctor. It is not
claimed that all cases of consumption I
can be cured. No honest, Intelligent person claims that. But that many
cases, well selected cases, those in the early stages and those cases that will diligently follow out the doctor's instructions are the cases that are benefited and ultimately cured. Space, time and discretion forbids that we should attempt to -outline a treatment here for thoBe cases. But one and all agree that the one essential in all these cases, is an unlimited quantity of fresh air, GOOD, RICH OZONE. And my purpose here is to announce my ozone treatment for consumption and many nervous troubles. Do not understand that I claim to cure consumption with ozone alone. It is but a necessary and essential adjunct to the regularly prescribed treatment for these home cases.
If there is any doubt in your mind j as to the cause of that little bit of j
cough, that tired, indolent feeling or any symptoms or condition you may not understand, Dr. Leedy, In suites 32 and 33, Rlmbach building, over Lion Store, Hammond, Ind., invites you to his office for free consultation.

of their effectiveness in the testimony
of this Hammond resident:
J. L. Davis, 167 Dearborn street. Hammond, Ind., says: "My kidneys were weak and disordered. The passages of the kidney secretions were
too frequent and caused me much pain. I had to get up two or three times at night on that account. I had shsrp pains across my loins and could hard
