rlinols steel company shuts Do

Chicago, Jan by closing down the
shops last night for an indefinite period
the Illinois Steel company stole march
on 1000 employees who had planned to
begin the new year by the inauguration
of general strike. The works closed
yesterday by the company include the
mills at Joliet and South Chicago and
the Union mills at Thirty-frst street
and Ashland avenue. The men say at
the present low price of iron and the
low ratio at which the sliding scale Is
low fixed they do not receive living
wages. The reason given by the COM
pany for the shutting down Of the works
was to allow extensive repairs be-
ing made.

saves q Fortune.

Monterey, Tenn, (Special)-One OF
our prominent citizens here, Col. James
e, Jones, secretary and treasurer OF the
Cumberland Mountain Coal Co, Is on
the high road to make his fortune, and
attributes the fact to his recent cure
from the tobacco habit. He was an
inveterate user Of tobacco for many
years consuming SO much as to make
serious inroads on both his purse and
his health. One box of No-To-Bac COM
pletely cured him, and he gained seven
pounds in less than two weeks. Within
three days after starting to use No-To-
Bac the desire for tobacco was entirely
gone. Col Jones says to all tobacco
users that No-To-Bac will do as recon-"
mended and is worth by far more than
its weight In gold.

Republicans Will Carry

Will Nominate Strong Candl-

A Meeting TO Call City Convention to
Se Held "Wednesday.

A meeting Of the Republican: city COM
mittee has Deen called for, WedDesdsy y
night OF this week to fix the date of the
city convention.
The cbairman OF the city committee
said today that the Repu blican party OF
Providence was never on a better footing
than at the present time. Good work has
been done and Is being done in all the
wards and thsrs is every reason TO be-
by good msjority.
1t would be an insult to the party to in
'inuate that there will be no city ticket.
The Ropu bl cans Of Providence are not cast
down by one defeat, especially when that
defeat wcs the result OF a mistake and af-
terwsrds regretted by those whose short
sightedness made 1t possible.
A year ago the Repu blican city ticket
was.defegted by. the votes OF Republicans
themselves, who listened to and believed
stories atout their party which were
utterly false and in many instances
malicious. 1t was not long after inagura-
tion day that the aDsurdity OF the state
ments made in.the reform campaign De-
came apparent and almost every day OF
the ex .stence of the present city govern
ment has hsd either its positive mistake
or else admission on the part Of ths
"Goo-Goo" members that they didn't
know what they wers talking about.
And now the Repuo oIicans who were led
astiay by gaudy statements of the evil
that had been ana still gaudier promises
of the good that would be, are sorry for
their mistake and are only two anxious
for the opportunity to redeem themselves
on November 3.
The Repu blicans will nominate man for
Mayor who will he a Republican and a
cand idate who will dare to declare him
sslf on national issues and for the gold
standardf a candidate who will not be
afraid to commit himself because of the
effect 1t might have on some voter with
Populistic tendencies but who would
otherwise support the reguiar ticket.
The city campaign is to be on strictly
party lines. A man must be a Republican
or Democrat, or else in tho non descrirt
column of Socialists, Populists, Prohi-
pitionists and loud-mo outhed reformers
who would die of broken hearts IL
everything in this world was really ns
they pretend to want 1t and nothing left
for them to have indignation meetings
about.
City Treasurer ID. L. ID. Granger is
very apt to get the nomination (: ON both
parties
The meeting OF the Republican state
central committee is called for tomorrow
forenoon.
Chairman Dorney will call meeting
of the Democratic city committee for
next Friday evening.
