and rolled products. The industry as a
whole was operating scarcely Go per cent
of capacity. but the subsidiaries of the.
steel corporation had about 6I per cent
of ingot capacity active. Indications

companies blew out seven blast furnaces
this week and more merchants furnaces
are preparing for suspensions.

Business Outlook Uncertain.

The general business situation appears
to be in an uncertain state at this time.
Important interests who have recently
made nationwide observations found
that in nearly all lines of trade there was
a halting disposition and growing hesi-
fancy with regard to business expansion.
This situation appeared not to be confined
to any particular locality. but embraced
the whole country. On the other hand,
it was found by those who have traversed
the crop sections of the country that
never at this time Of the year has the
winter wheat crop appeared to be in
such a perfect and healthy condition.
western iron and steel trade continues
to drag. and the leading interests state
there is little hope of improvement from
any section until decision in connection
with the long pending freight rate in
crease has been rendered. In spite Of the
dullncss and dragging disposition of the
trade, those who have made a close study
Of conditions regard the market as In a
temporary state. and with the rendering
of the rate decision there will undoubt-
edly be a marked Improvement in the
trade whether or not it favors the rail-
roads, w. S. COUSINS.

Railroads Report Danger of Shortage
Gone.

Sioux City, Aug. 18.-The rail
roads are prepared to move the bum
per grain crops. While the car sur
plus has decreased somewhat during
the last month, ear reports indicate
that during the last week the mum
Der of idle cars has increased.
The attitude of farmers in holding
back their wheat for higher prices
has increased the a surplus more
than anything else. On July Is the
car surplus in Iowa, Minnesota and
the Dakotas was given as 1887.
That many ears were ready for use in
moving the grain. The last two weeks
of July brought some shipping of
grain. There were extra large move
ments from the Kansas wheat belt,
which assisted in decreasing the sur
plus in this territory.
However, the number of cars put
in use in this territory during the
two weeks ending August l was less
than 1000, and on August l there
were 1866 cars ready for grain
shipments. While no report has yet
been received showing conditions in
this territory since August i, rail Of
ficials are of the opinion that the sur
plus has increased.
The total decrease in surplus cars
in the United States during the two
weeks ending August j was 10000
cars. The box car surplus alone de-
creased 3 $500. The eastern rail
roads reported a decrease in surplus
from $4,000 to 1900, while the
Canadian roads reported a large in
crease in surplus box cars.
The general tendency to withhold
grain for awhile will give the west
ern railroads an opportunity to In
crease the car surplus, preparatory
to the grain movement. The eastern
roads have offered some of their cars
for use in the western grain move
ment, and, with the Canadian supply
TO draw from, If it becomes necessary,
rail officials contend that the car sit
uation is not critical.

SORRY HE DID 1T
Gave Whiskey to Federal Official on
Indian Reservation.

Aberdeen, Aug. 1S.-United States
Marshal William Healey arrived in
Aberdeen from west of the river,
bringing with him a very much cha
grined person named James Kinney,
section foreman on the Milwaukee
railroad at Trail City. Kinney was
riding on a Milwaukee train, passing
through Zeibach county, in the In
dian country, where the sale or pos
session of liquor is prohibited by the
government. He had a bottle of whis-
key with him, and being in a liberal
mood passed the bottle around among
his fellow passengers. One OF the
men to whom he offered a drink was
United States Commissioner +. X.
Roach. Roach filed a complaint
against Kinney for introducing liquor
on a reservation, contiscated the bot
tie as evidence, and Kinney was
brought to the Brown county jail TO
await the next term of federal district
court.

THRASHER FINED
For Failing to Comply With State
Insurance Law.

Milbank, Aug. 18.-The first per-
son to be arrested in South Dakota
this season on the charge of violating
the state law which requires thrash
ermen to provide themselves with a
bond, guaranteeing farmers against
loss Of grain through fires set by
thrashing engines, is p. j. Farber, a
thrasher living in Grant county. The
defendant entered a plea of guilty
and paid a fine and costs amounting
to SIS. His excuse was that other
thrashermen were running rigs with
out having taken out the insurance
bond. The state law requiring thrash
ers to secure bonds not only protects
the farmer for whom a thresher Is
doing work, but also protects every.
one living along the highways owe
which thrashing outfits travel. The
tendency of the law has been to make
owners of t%hrashing rigs much NOR
careful about starting fires by sparks
from their engines.

Supposed to Have Been Killed b,
Tramps Near Roscoe.

Roscoe, Aug. 1S.-The dead body
of John Pranauskar, a Bulgarian,
aged 80 to 35 years, was found yes
terday beside a barley stack near this
city. 1t was evident that he had been
robbed and murdered. A bullet had
entered his head at one eye and
emerged at the back of the head. He
carried a large grip, which had been
ransacked and also had a money
belt about his body which had been
slashed open. 1t is supposed that the
murdered man had been doing the
hobo stunt with some companions,
that the others had discovered he was
carrying money, and that they con-
spired to kill and rob him. The body
evidently had lain in the field several
days before being found.

PRETTY OMAHA GIRLS
HELD BY POLICE FOR Compile.
ITY IN HOLD-UP AND
ROBBERY.

Omaha, Aug. 1S.-Two pretty.
young women, both under % years
of age. are being detained in the
matron's department at police head
quarters for alleged completely in a
daring holdup on the road to Willard
Monday night. II. G. Sample, a farm
er from near Syracuse, Neb., whose
every possession was taken from him,
is chartered at the station. He has
fled complaint against the girls and
the police are now seeking two men
supposed to be accomplices.
Samples story is that on Monday
afternoon he met the two young
women when he sat down at the same
table in a crowded downtown restau-
rant. An acquaintanceship sprung up
over the passing of various table
utensils, and they took in moving
picture shows a~fterward. He met
them again in the evening and they
suggested a buggy ride. On the road
to Willard, in a particularly lonely
spot, two masked and armed men
suddenly sprang out and stopped
the rig. One bandit kept the three
covered with his weapon while the
other searched the man, taking $40,
a watch and a railroad ticket back TO
Syracuse. The girls were searched
also, but most of their valuables were
overlooked"
Sample tried to notify the police,
but the girls, apparently fearful of
trouble, insisted upon waiting until
they got back to Omaha. BY that
time il was decided that it would be
best for Sample to say nothing, since
it was improbable that the police
could get the money back anyway.
The girls loaned him railroad fare TO
go back home.
At the depot Sample told his story
% a railroad man who laughed and
advised that the police be notified.
Detectives Fleming and Murphy ar
rested the girls and they We're identi-
led by Sample. They described
themselves as Leila McCauley and
Alice Wilson, both of 705 " North
Eighteenth street. One of the girls,
he police say, was suspected in a
/ robbery a month ago, but escaped.
/ The girls, in tears, denied knowing
| he identity of the robbers, but the
| police are holding them anyway. One
| Of the girls is a ~stenographer EN-
| )loved in a local hotel and the other
| s a clerk in a downtown department
tore. Except for the case of

vas thought to be concerned, the pc
ice say the girls have no police rec.
ord. but on the contrary, appear IL
