THE OUTLOOK.
The Iron Trade. Reviews Resume Of the weel
in Iron Circles.

The Iron Trade, Reviews Resume Of the Week
in Iron Circles.
1t hns been evident in the past ten
days that the pace OF production in iron
and steel is in advance OF current de-
mand. The uncertain factor in the
problem OF prices is the extent of the
accumulated orders that hayesupported
the operations Of furnaces, steel works
and iron mills FOR month or more.
New demand since the passage OF the
tariff bill has not aggregated enough, nor
has il been Of the character TO warrant
the belief that strong revival is in
progress. With n producing capacity in
iron and steel built and gauged for pros
perity il must not be expected that there
will be an immediate expansion OF buying
from the shrunken volume OF year OF
depression TO a volume that will fill all
the wrinkled folds oi the furnace, con-
verting and rolling mills. IL is generally
conceded that the output Of most mills
in the past month will exceed three
iourths OF the average rate in the first
hall OF 1898.

BASE BALL.
Sol Peters, Of Iron Mountain, Wins Close Gam,
for Florence.

Sol Peters, Of Iron Mountain, Wins Close Game
for Florence.
Sol Peters, OF Iron Mountain, played n
game OF base ball for the Florence team
at the Crystal Falls driving park on Sun
day last. Sol oiIiciated in the umpire's
box and the Florence ball tossers orna-
mented the fields ut intervals, like warts
on toad's back. They could not play
ball, rs was first in evidence at the close
OF the seventh inning, when the score
card did not contain the record OF II
single run to their credit, while the Crys-
tai Falls boys had sent four men across
home plate. Ia the first hall OF the
eighth, Crystal Falls promptly retired
three men, but Sol would not "stand
the pressure" and finished the inning
himself, allowing Florence to score
five runs before giving Crystal Falls
a chance ut the bat. Five men were
put out by Crystal Falls in this
inning, as aiterward admitted 10y leading
members Of the Florence team. 1t is
therefore not strange that the Falls boys
played IA shabby game toward the close
OF that exhausting session. In the first
hall OF the ninth Charlie Gallagher, OF
Crystal Falls, succeeded Sol ~ umpire.
Gallagher played good ball too, but he did
not reach the field early enough TO win the
game for Crystal Falls. At the close OF
this very rotten game, the score stood
five to four in favor OF Sol Peters, not OF
Florence, because Sol does not live in
Florence. He does not even visit friends
there and long ago ceased 10 sing those
old, familiar tunes, 'some Day I'll Wan
der b acl Again, "I'm Going Home, etc.

TWO OPINIONS.

One Affects Hawkers and Pedders--other
School Commissioners.
In nm opinion handed down recently,
the nttofney-general holds that pcddlers
and hawkers who purchase licenses OF
the state treasurer and operate IN the
upper peninsula, may still be required by
the local authorities to pay IA further
license under n special act passed by the
legislature number Of years ago.
County school commissioners who
have school registers or other devices
for sale TO teachers and school boards,
are informed in an opinion by the attor-
ney-general, issued recently, that they
are doing an illegal business. The only
way in which commissioners can conduct
such a business or in other words, dis
pose oi their interest in such business, Is
TO make u bona fldc sale TO n third

COMBS-At her late home in Tionesta
township, Forest Co., Pa, June 10,
1894, Mrs. Mary Ann Combs, aged 81
years and 20 days.
The subject of the above notice was
born in Armstrong county, May II, 1913,
her maiden name being Merchant. De-
cember 30, 1868, she was united in mar
riage with Lyman S. Combs. May Is,
1861, she united with the German Re.
formed Church, in which faith she lived
and died. Death came suddenly, paral-
ysis being the cause, but the grim mes
senger did not find her unprepared. She
leaves to mourn her death, a husband
and five children, to whom she was a
loving wife and fond mother, while the
community sustains the loss of kind
and generous neighbor.
The bereaved friends wish to return
their sincere thanks to those who assist
ed them during their atfliction.

A small yellow worm about an inch
long, and resembling the black-thou-

decayed timber, has appeared in corn

that crop. 1t is thought to be a worm
that thrives only in extremely dry sea-
