the sundry OWL. Indian and agricultural
bills to the president, only to have them
rocket-vetoed while the general def
cheney failed of passage because the
house refused to subscribe to the $5o000O

tic reception accorded Speaker Reed ana
the unanimous standing vote Of thanks

Yesterday afternoon a committee rep
resenting the newly organized Country
Club went out into the country, via. the
one O'Clock Elm Grove motor, and spent
most of the afternoon in looking at
proposed sites for the club house, bicy-
Gle track, etc. The committee was
composed of Messrs. Hubbard, Russell,
Hamilton, Speidel, Paxton, Brown,
Hall and Bloch. Among the sites ex-
amined were portion of the Woods
estate, at Woodsdale, a site on the
Whitaker land, just east of Chicken
neck" hill, on the pike, the hilltop just
east Of Paxton's, also on the pike, a
piece OF ground on the hillside near Mt.

erty, opposite Wheeling Park, and the
land Immediately east of the park itself,
and which is owned by the Park Asso-
citation. Representatives of Wheeling
Park were present, and after confer
ence with the committee, agreed to SUBJ
nit proposition for thirteen, nine
teen or thirty acres, either sale or lease
by Monday evening.
w nile nothing was said during the
afternoon tending to prefer one piece
OF property over another. there was a
good deal Of satisfaction with the land
adjoining the park, both by reason of
its natural advantages, and its ease OF
access by either the pike or the Wheel

NEWS OF BELLAIRE.
The Strike Situation at the Bellaire
Steel Plant Labor and Free Silver
Democratic Neutrality-suspicious. Local
Items of Brief Mention.

1t was rumored yesterday on the
street that the management of the
Bellaire steel and iron works would
start the mill tomorrow. Efforts
were being made yesterday to have
the employees Of the blast furnace as
sumo the positions OF the strikers
Several Of the blast furnace employus
state that they were told to either ac-
cept the company's proposition or lose
their positions, whereupon they chose
the latter and were discharged. So far
as could be learned last night, only
seven of the blast furnace employees
have agreed to work in the striking
tonnage mems places. A few men
connected with the works were re-
ported to have been in Wheeling try
ing to secure men for the plant As to
the mill being started tomorrow it de-
ponds upon the securing of sufficient
number of men to take the strikers
places. In case the sufficient number
OF men is secured before tonight, the
employees Of the plant who have been
working on salary VIII be ordered 10
work according to the agreement
which exists between them and the
management. All sorts CT stories were
current on the streets last night, one
being to the effect that number of
men would be brought from Pittsburg,
but none of the reports could be veri-
fed
When the employees of the plant were
paid off Friday night the checks were
collected, which meant that the strik-
ers were discharged. A number of the
men were offered their old positions
yesterday, but they all declined, and
when interviewed last night stood as
firm as ever in their decision to strike
for a raise in the scale. Instead of
comforting with the steel workers
committee, the plan of talking with
each man singly and alone is being
| worked upon.

WHAT IS YOUR TRADE?
EacATrade or Occupation Has Its Special
Disease.


1t is well known among medical men
that certain diseases are more readily
developed in certain occupations than
IN others. That each occupation has
its attendant physical weakness. Engi-
Leers, railroad men and similar Occu-
pations will suffer moStiy from kidney
troubles and men who are often ex-
posed to the weather suffer from rheu-
matism. while clerks and professional
men, in fact, the army Of people whose
business keeps them INDOORS, are often
times great sufferers from piles and
constipation. In this connection the
following letter is of interest to people
whose occupation will not allow sutfi-
clent outdoor exercise.
Mr. A. F. Calhoun. notary public and
jeweler and matchmaker OF Circlegille,
w. Va, writes as follows:
/ have been a severe sufferer from
piles for years and had tried many
remedies with but little benefit, when
about three years ago | saw the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure advertised and sent for it.
l was badly afflicted when | got it,
but after only two applications the
piles disappeared and from that day to
this / have never felt a symptom of the
disease.
feel that cannot recommend them
too highly to sufferers from piles.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is free from
cocaine, opium or any mineral poison
absolutely safe, pleasant and painless;
sold by druggists at 80 cents per pack
age. If there is any constipation the
Pyramid Pills should be used with the
pile cure. The pills are 25 cents per
package.
Any druggist will tell you that the
Pyramid is the best known and most
| successful and popular pile cure ever
placed On the market and its reputa-
ton as safe and radical cure has only
resulted from the personal recommend
alton of people who have been cured OF
| this distressing ailment.
