LOTS OF MONEY
Has Henry County Expended During
The Past Year In bitches.

The ditch season has practically closed for
'92. Henry county this year has been very
fruitful in the establishment of watercourses,
the number far exceeding those of previous
late years. Neither have these great i'm
provements been made without great ex-
pense, but it is money well invested and it
needs but a wet siege of weather to demon
strate the great usefulness of the, new drain
age. The great amount of ditching this
year is due to the copiou' and protracted
rains during the spring months.
Following is a complete list of the bitches
established, the names given being those of
the principal petitioner and therefore the
names by which the several bitches are
designated.

WHEELS NHIZZING
Aud All Is Activity as the Carnegie Mills
ut Homestead.

ut Homestead.
HOMESTEAD, Pa, Nov. 24.-The ad-
visory board having been dissolved the
last official gathering to discuss strike
matters is at an end.
Ex-President Weihe, of the Amalga-
mated association, is quoted as stating
in connection with the Homestead
strike: mo other strike was so broad
in its influence, and men were never so
prosecuted in any other strike. On an
estimate of $1.40 per day for laborers
and S3 for skilled workmen, the 1900
strikers in Homestead, Lawrenceville
and Beaver Falls lost SEQ 900 daily, or
$4,000, 900 during the entire strike"
The strikers still continue to keep up
the rush for their old positions at the
steel works, and although many are
turned away Others are more fortunate
and are told to report for work next
Monday. The new men are leaving the
works in groups of five or six. Some
few are discharged, but the greater
number are leaving of their own accord
Every train leaving Munhall carries
away more than a dozen of the new
men who have become dissatisfied and
will seek employment elsewhere.
In the future the Carnegie company
will treat with its employees as individu-
ais. Each man employed is required to
sign an agreement in which he pledges
himself to refrain from belonging to
any labor organization, and to be gov
erned entirely by the rules and regula-
tions of the company. Each depart
ment superintendent is provided with
these blanks, and no one can be en-
ployed unless he signs the agreement.

TORONTO, Nov. 29.--At meeting of
the South Norfolk Liberal association
Saturday there was an almost unani-
nous expression Of opinion in favor of
the political union of Canada with the
United States. Following upon the res

town of Simcoe this event illustrates
the drift of public sentiment which it
would be useless to ignore or belittle.
Only encouragement approaching de-
spair could have led to such demon
stration as was made on Saturday.

And it has always been the
aim of this house to furnish

In the several departments

There are many reasons
why Saur & Balsley excel in
their line of business, among
which we note:
Their prescriptions are COM

Patent medicines, so help
full to many, are Of an endless

Their book and stationary
trade has always held its own
from the fact that they have
been fortunate in securing
just what you want. Books in

department at lowest prices,
And now that the Holidays
are approaching. the counters
will be replete with articles Of
beauty as well as usefulness.
The paint and oil depart
ment has long since reached
such a degree Of perfection
that it might properly be
termed a system. Any kind

by the explosion of Roselyte or dyna-
mite. He releases liquid carbolic acid
gas at high altitude. The intense cold
produced is bound to precipitate what

experiments which were begun last
Friday by General Dyrenfurth and
party, are very much discouraged with
the result of the first series of expert
ments, and have almost reached the
conclusion that the theory is not practi-
cable. Upon their request, however,
General Dyrenfurth will continue the
experiments until all explosives now on
hand are used up. Preparations have
been made for the extensive lombard
ment of the clouds, the firing to be kept
up continuously until the entire stock
of explosives gives out, it being the in
tention of Corral Dyrenfurth to make
it the grand final test of his theory.

Gloomy Outlook,

HOMESTEAD, Pa, Nov. 25.-The fail.
ure of a large number of the strikers to
secure employment in the Carnegie mill
has spread dismay in manner already
plainly noticeable. There were few ap-
plications Wednesday and these were
turned away. The disheartened appear
ance of the men as they turned home
ward through a binding snowstorm
made them objects of pity.
There are many families among the
strikers, while suffering from a
Scarcity of Provisions,
have not even fuel in their houses, and
much suffering is sure to result.
Next Saturday is the regular BIZ
monthly pay day at the mill, and it is
predicted that there will be a large
number of the new men
Laid OF for Causes,
or leaving of their own accord through
the return of the strikers, which might
make it uncomfortable for them to re-
main.
The force of the deputies was again
reduced Wednesday morning by six
men, leaving the force now in charge
of twelve men, including Chiefs Young
and Ritchie. It is said that their duties
will end by Saturday, when they will
be withdrawn.
HOMESTEAD, Pa, Nov. 26.-About a
dozen strikers applied at the Carnegie
mills Friday for employment. They re-
ceived very little encouragement. There
have been about 1,700 men thus far who
have applied for work, and less than 20
per cent. have been successful.
On Monday. the mills, which have
been running two turns Of twelve hours
each, will be put on three turns. This
will require about one-third more men.
Wages Reduced.
BEAVER FALLS, Pa, Nov. 24.-Many
of those who have regained their old
positions at the Carnegie mills here are
feeling much depressed over the notifi-
cation given that their wages would be
reduced. The boiler men, who former
ly received 1925 per day, must now
work for S1.69. The wages of the others
are cut in proportion. The assistant
boss roller on one of the turns refused
to go to work Tuesday. His wages be-
fore the strike were 50 per day, but
Tuesday he was notified that they
would be reduced to $4. The reduc-
ton has created considerable excite
ment.
