Iron and Steel Scars;
Mills Behind in Deliveries

The Iron Age in its weekly trade
review to-day says:
Prices of pig iron, semi1nished
steel and of a number of finished prod
ucts have advanced in the past week,
and with mills falling farther behind
in deliveries premiums for early ship
ment are appearing. Domestic de-
mand, while not given as much pub
licity as foreign orders, is of more i'm
portance in some lines than has been
credited.
Leading steel companies look for a
continuance of the present rate of
operations through the year and are
counting upon its projection some dis
tance into 1915, having ceased to bor-
row trouble over the results of a sud
den ending of the war.
THE heavy demand for large steel
rounds is still easily the leading fea-
ture. France has placed a good part
of the 10000 tons recently pending
paying 2.35c to two important COM
panies, and has been negotiating for
5000 tons additional Probably
200, 900 tons more Is involved in esti-
mates now before the trade.
1T is becoming more evident that
the railroads in their later buying for
this year will have to compete for mill
capacity with the buyers of munitions
Rails cannot now be had for early de-
livery. In the past week 10000 tons
was placed, of which $4,000 tons
which goes to Alabama cannot be de-
livered until October. At Chicago a
western road has bought II, 900 tons
of tie plates and the price there has
advanced from $27 to S28"

DEMOCRATS AIM
TO HIDE TROUBLE
EContinued From First Page. !

other year is in a division of Re-
publican strength and having fallen
into the trap once Republicans are
not likely to be deceived SO soon
again. -.--
Throughout the State the "reorgan-
ization" faction of. the Democracy,
which has been in control for two
years, has been discredited and the
rank and file OF the party are turning
10 new leadership. Here the dis
Satisfaction among the rank and file
OF Democrats is general and hundreds
of stalwarts of that party have
proffered their support to the many
excellent Republicans who have con-
sented to stand for the several offices
to be filled at the November election
Under the present primary system
there is bound to be more or less
play for position, but the mass of the
voters, having discharged their duties
in the primaries will elect the Re-
publican candidates by overwhelming
matorities. AS previously observed
the efforts of the Democratic machine
are now directed toward disruption
OF the Republican strength through
stories of personal antagonism and
friction among leaders. There never
has been a campaign anywhere that
hat not involved differences of opinion
regarding the makeup of ticket,
but the bosses of the Democratic ma
chine In this city and county have
failed lamentably in accomplishing
their purpose to upset the reunion of
the Republican forces. Aside from a
few disgruntled persons who are
with the Republican party when it is
with them and against 1t when they
are not in favor the Democratic ma
chine Is having no help outside its
own camp. Truth to tell, this same
machine Is finding ample field for its
energies In holding together enough
of its followers to make a decent
showing in the campaign this year.
Designation of all Republican
voters as "gangsters' by the organ
the inevitable effect of disgusting
hundreds of decent Republicans who
are not stampeded by every yell for
help from the Democratic camp.
After the period of filing nominations
expires next Tuesday the voters of all
| parties will have an opportunity to
sift the list of candidates and choose
those in their judgment who are best
qualified to perform the duties of the
several city and county offices to be
| filed this year. Until that time the
| field is open to all who care to enter
the arena. Meanwhile the Democratic
bosses are doing their level best tc
concoct some kind of a fusion scheme
that will enable them to present 6

forces of the city and county.

JESS WILLARD WITH
WILD WEST SHOW
Ranch lO1 VIII Reach City Early
Tomorrow Morning; Special
Pavilion For Champion

Tomorrow will be a busy day in
Harrisburg. for Miller Bros. & Ar
lington's 1O1 Ranch Wild West show
and Jess willard. the cowboy worlds
champion. will be here.
The big show will arrive at an
early hour, and as expeditiously as
possible the long trains will be un-
loaded and the paraphernalia trans
ferred to the exhibition grounds in
Seneca tsreet, where the Wild West
camp is to be erected. 1t goes with
out saying that there will be big
crowd on hand to see the unloading
of the show and to watch the always
interesting operation of installing the
exhibition on the '1ot." There are,
it is said, more than fifty big and
little tents in the Wild West camp,
and in combination they constitute a
veritable city of canvas. One of the
tents that will probably excite espe-
cial interest will be the Jess Willard
Pavilion" where the champion makes
his headquarters on the grounds.
BY 10 o'clock tomorrow morning
the Wild West city will be in busy,
active operation; the flags will be fly
ing; the red-lemonade man of form
er days, who has reformed his ways
and now tempts the thirsty public
with certified soda pop and ice cream
cones, will be ready for business; the
Indians, painted and feather-be-N
decked, will be on their ponies, wait
ing for the bugle to give the signal
for the parade: the cowboys will be
hurriedly getting into their chaps; /;
the cowgirls will be putting the last
feminine touches to their picturesque
costumes; the long-haired overland
stagecoach driver will be having all
kinds of trouble trying to keep his
six army mules from starting down.
town ahead of schedule time, and
Jos. C. Miller, the ranchman and
White Chief of the Poncas, will be
ready to give the word that will start
mile of Wild West people, horses,
ponies, burros, long horned steers,
buffaloes, tableau-floats and other
parade features on their hike to the
business section of the city. The line
will leave the grounds about 1890.
The afternoon performance takes
place at 2.15 and the night show at
S.15. A strenuous program is prom
ised. There will be reproductions of
scenes during the historic days of the
old West, when horse-stealing was a
crime more heinous than murder;
battles between Indians and white
settlers; a buffalo hunt, showing the
Indian method of stalking the wild
bison; rough riding by daring cow
punchers and cowgirls; crack shoot
ing, roping, broncho busting, and 9TH
er exhilarating events.
The management announces that
less Willard, who was cowboy before
he became the worlds heavyweight
champion, will positively and active
ly appear in several of the Wild West
numbers. Later, with sparring part
ner, he will illustrate the famous 26th
round, in which Jack johnson went
down to defeat. The desire to see the

be universal
