Last week the news was widely herald
ed over Bellaire and around that the big
Bellare steel works had started up IN
part and on Monday would resume in full,
with bright prospects for a steady run.
The people who had been congratulating
themselves upon the benehccnt effects Of
McKinleys election attributed the re-
sumption OF this big industry Of Beilaire
as "a positive evidence of the return Of
confidence and an era of Mckinley good
times Men in Bellaire who had appar-
emily lost all hope of ever receiving steady
employment and were making prepara-
lions to leave for other places TO secure
work, had their hopes revived and de-
cided to remain at home and get their
share OF the expected prosperity the
word comes as a "deadener' now that the
hopes which We're resurrected by the news
of the visit Of the advance agent is
doomed to disappointment Instead of
running all winter the Bel'aire steel plant
will shut down to-day again. after run
ming just for one week I'm a few depart

not boom. The best that this industry
can do is to run a few days at time to
