The city council met on Saturday night In special session and transacted several Important Items of business connected with the city's welfare. The assessment roll of benefits and damages incident to the opening and extension of West street was adopted and the city clerk ordered to notify the affected property owners according to law, A resolution confirming preliminary resolution No. 89, ordering sidewalks on the north side of Parry court, was passed without a dissenting vote and the sidewalks ordered In. The matter of numbering houses and naming of streets was advanced another step and the city attorney given instructions to prepare ordinances complying with the recommendations of thes treet and alley committee ''regarding same. The rain yesterday came Just In time to spoil the ball game and the contest scheduled between Crown Point and the Marquettes of Chicago was postponed until some,futUre date. The weather man dealt the local club another hard financial blow in turning on the rain taps at that particular time, they being put to considerable expense incident to staging the game. The locals have played In hard luck during the entire season in a financial way and are praying for at least an even break during the balance of the ball year.

FIELD DAY BRINGS OUT PITIFULLY SMALL CROWD

The field day given under the auspices of the Associated Charities Saturday, at the Indiana Harbor base ball park, was characterized by the smauest crowd that has ever attended this annual event since the organization was formed. Less than fifty persons visited the park and the little 'band of devoted workers who gave of their time and iaDor to maice me event a success are uiscourageu ana aisgusted with tne lack of public spirit displayed. A number of them spoke freely thts morning regarding the matter declaring It nothing short of shameful, and a real disgrace to the city that a better crowd did not turn out. "Why." said one of the members of

the committee who managed the affair. All of the games were Interesting "we did not take in enough money to and the following were the prize wincover our expenses and the value of ners their names being accompanied the prizes given to the winners of the by the prizes they won and the donors

True the prizes cost our committee nothing, but how much better, had we! known what a fiasco the event was to be, had the business men to whose generosity we were Indebted for the; prizes, merely donated their equivolent in cash. It would have saved all the labor expended on the event and j we would have realized Just as much. lt seems a strange thing that If a member of a lodge Is In trouble every brother in that lodge will put his hand! Into his pocket and give freely for his relief, while the same men approached for general charity cannot find It In their hearts to give five cents. "Even the members of the organlzatlon under whose auspices the event was given, many of them, failed to lend the light of their countenance to the affair, and for my part I am through with the Associated Charities. If there Is not enough public spirit and confidence In East Chicago and Indiana Harbor to support the organization, or to give it the semblance of an approach to support, I see no reason in continuing Its existence. The lack of support offered is an insult to the committee and the organization." The program arranged for the event was one worthy of good support aside from the worthy object for which the event stood. There were baseball games, volley ball, clown and acrobatic stunts and athletic events of all kinds and prizes ofTered for all. The main event of the occasion, was of , course the baseball game between the business men and the professional men of the twin cities. The game was won after seven Innings by the professional men by a score of seven to four. The business men who were captained by W. A. Fusy, who also pitched, were handicapped by the abecence of Messrs. A. G. Lundquist and H. C. putledge, two of their star players, to be present. Dr. Frank Stephens of the Professionals proved the stumbling block to the business men, in tthe pitchers box. Doc pitched some ball and coupled with this so dazzling a spectacle did he present In his spotless white ducks, that it was all but Impossible for the game to proceed when he was In the box. Doc got a bad spot on his trousers before the game was through, but this served only to accentuate the

RENEWED CONFIDENCE IS FELT IN STEEL BUSINESS

Although there has not been an r.-,r.rrr,r,. inrr, in orders for the wf-ek ending today, there seems to be a feeling In the steel market that the lone-looked-for change has come

about. The opinion is current that farther west during the week which there will be some very heavy buylrig will total to no small amount. Chief .in the near future. This opinion has 'of the western structural orders which permeated the market because of tho.have recently been placed Is that sefact that the merchant bar business, J cured by the Steel corporation, which is considered a good barometer ( through the United States Steel Prodof the finished product, has shown a ucts Company, amounting to 3,000 tons great improvement.

Know tnai ineir prtsrni supply is nui sufficient for even that work which I they now have on their books, are on the verge of placing orders for new material. j It is contended by those who are i close to the real conditions that the 'money situation may also be attributed to the general feeling of renewed iconflednce, and this, together with the I reports of enormous crops, Is considerj ed a factor which will bring out many j unlooked-for inquiries. Successful flnancing in the East has been the cause of many new orders in that part of the country, and as this monetary prosperity comes West, it is expected that the steel interests here will feel its effect. A decided improvement in railroad buying has been manifest during the week, and business from this source is now being expected by the steel producers, whereas a few weeks ago the carriers were not even considered as being likely buyers for the remainder of the year. Reconstruction and extension work along the lines of many of the railroads is now in progress, since these corporations have found it possible to secure the necessary funds with which to carry out some of the many plans which they have on their books. The New York Central lines are proparing an estimate of their rail requirements for 1914, and it is expected that a formal Inquiry for about 150,000 tons will be issued shortly. It will probably be among the first of the larger roads to prepare against next year. An inquiry has been issued by

GENERAL RAINS BREAK DROUGHT Contmae4 ffora Pag oil Buffalo reports rain whl?h fell practically without cessation tor 40 hours, thoroughly soaking everything and minimizing the danger of fires In tlmi ber and fields. Good Rata Im Iowa. Iowa correspondents say light ralna fell Saturday night and this morning; over a large portion of western) and central Iowa, with local showers, light in character in the eastern portion off the state. The rain fell slowly and was not accompanied by wind, so it will be of great benefit. Nebraska received fair rainfall last night over the district between Omaha and Shelton, and prospects tonight are. for more rain over the corn belt. Eastern Kansas and western Mis sourl sweltered under temperatures of 100 and higher today, but there are ex cellent prospects for rain. Showers fell in western Kansas In spots from the Colorado line east to Hoistington. but were not heavy enough to be of much' benefit. In Wichita and Leavenworth) prayers for rain were offered in the churches today. INDIANA TO HAVE EARLY UPHEAVAL "Continued from Ta eat) to the Postoffice Department when an appointment is to be made. -The department can appoint any one of the three, and in nine cases out of ten there will be at least one Democrat among the three. If it should happen, however, that all three are Republicans or Progressives the department can reject all three and call for new certifications and a name after being rejected a certain number of times goes off of the eligible list. "To The Victor," Ete. In other words, everything is "set" in the postal service for a pretty thorough application of the old Jacksonlan principle that "to the victor belongs the spoils." It can be stated with absolute certainty that Postmaster General Burleson will not grieve If every Republican is turned out of office and a Democrat put In his place. The Indtana spoilsmen are finding an opportunity to crow over their less fortunate brethren In other states where the upheaval in fourth-class offices will be long deferred. For example, Ohio has been placed In group No. 11, which means that the longedfor changes will not take place till next year is well advanced. KATIE IS SORRY. THEY ALWAYS ARE Katie Zeman, a fifteen year od wife, who is now sorry that her mother didn't spank her and prevent her from getting married five months ago, today came into the Gary police court with the tale of a blasted romance. Her husband, George Zeman, 24 years old, Fifteenth avenue and Jefferson street, an employe in the merchant mill of the Gary steel works, she says told her to pack her things and get out. Katie went straight to her ma. Annie Lientz, Fourteenth avenue anl Washington street, a husky Slavonian woman. Mrs. Lientz marched Annie up to Capt. Newman and he assisted them in getting a warrant out for the recalcitrant hubby. Mrs. Lientz told the captain that she was 45 and that she had been married a third of a century. ON HER KITCHEN STOVE It is interesting to note that the most successful remedy for woman's ills was originally prepared nearly forty years ago by Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkharn of Lynn, Maas., by steeping roots and herbs on her kitchen stove and supplie to friends and neighbors without cost. Its fame spread; the demand grew; until now many tons of roots and herbs are used each year .in order to supply this famous remedy which has proved such a marvelous success in controlling diseases of women. Merit alone could have stood this test of

time.
