The Strikers Outwitted.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Aug. 17.-Taking
advantage Of the suspension of march
ing, n number of men went to work
during the morning at the Oak Hill
mine. They were gotten in by strategy.
and the strikers were outwitted.
Agents of the company have been at
work among the strikers for over a
week, and although they have induced
some to- return, the result has been
disappointing. 1t was thought enough
men could be procured to run the mine
in full. The agents worked hard, but
found about one-half of the men in
full sympathy with the demand of 90
cents, while the remainder were afraid

SCIENTIFIC MEN
In Washington Eager to Clean Reliable

In Washington Eager to Clean Reliable
Information From the Andree Polar Ex-
petition.
New YORK, Aug. ia special to
The Herald from Washington says:
Scientific men in Washington are
greatly interested in Andree's polar
expedition, and are eager to CLEAN
from any reliable quarter information
concerning him. Prof. VIM. Hardness,
of the Naval Observatory, in discussing
the story, said in an interview:
Il have no reason to doubt that An
dree may have reached as far as 80 de-
grees north latitude. There is nothing
SO remarkable in that. Nansen, for
instance, went as far, or further; but 1
am inclined to think the Christiana
story is unreliable. I will not say
that it is impossible for a carrier
pigeon to cover the 600 or 500
miles indicated over icy seas, but it
would be only one chance in a thou
sand if the bird took a direct route,
and if its vagaries were very extended
it would die before long for lack of
food. Under the best possible chances
a bird perhaps might cover the distance
in from II to 20 hours, resting on the
floating ice en- route.
lone strong reason for doubt is that
the latitude and longitude of the place
where the pigeon is reported to have
been shot are not given in the dis
patches, and that is so contrary to nau-
teal custom as to give rise to suspicion.
Then, granting the pigeon was
found and shot and the alleged
letter obtained, it seems very improb-
able that captain SO well acquainted
and so much interested in Andree's
plans as this one is said to be should
refuse to give the letter into hands that
would carry it directly to civilization,
but carry it with him further into the
Arctic region. He would naturally
have been glad to give any such i'm
portant news to the world as quickly
as possible"

THE CONTRIBUTIONS
To the Needy Miners of the Brazil District
Are Falling OFF.


BRAZIL, Ind, Aug. 19.-The contri-
buttons to the needy miners of this dis
trict are falling off in a most distress
ing manner. Coming from all parts of
the state and all sources outside of this
city, only six dollars was received Tues
day to feed the $500 hungry and dis
tressed. Wednesday was the regular
distribution day at the commissary,
but so little was received that it was de-
cided to not open the commissary at
all. This city is still donating liberal
ly, but is unable to look after the en-
tire number.
The plant of the Central Iron & Steel
Co., of this city, has reopened, giving
employment to between 800 and 400
men. The mill is using West Virginia
coal, and the efforts of the miners to
stop it have been fruitless.

The Fact That the Disease is Durable

DUBUQUE. Ia, Aug. 1S.-The fact that
hog cholera is durable has again been
demonstrated on the farm of the Du-
buque Fruit and Produce Co.. near this
city, where, under the direction of Di-
vision Freight Agent Clemens, of the
Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul rail-
road, "a out of 90 sick hogs were treated

that the hogs had a genuine attack
OF cholera at the time the treatment
was commenced. Last year 5000, 900
hogs died in Iowa of this disease. The
agents of the Chicago, Milwaukee & st.
Paul Railroad Co. have been using
their remedy for over year and have
succeeded in saving fully 80 per cent.
of the hogs treated along the line of
their road. This has enabled the farm

well known that the sale of hogs brings
to the farmer all the profit he gets

There is dissatisfaction with bust
ness, commercial and industrial con-
ditions all over the country. The blame
is laid primarily on the government,
where outside of the ruinous financial
policy of the late national administra-
ton it does not belong. The reason
is found in a natural condition, that
the result of the tendency to spend
more than is earned and to grow more
than there is a profitable market for.
These conditions will make trouble
anywhere.
