governor Of Iloilo calling upon him to
surrender within time stated and
warning him not to make demonstra-
ton in the interval. The natives imme-
diately moved their guns and

the cruiser Charleston began dropping

was stationed. Fully a score of them
were taken to the hospital. ~
Among the incidents of the day it is
cited that Privates Hartley and Fitch

GONE TO CALIFORNIA.
Foot Ball Team Expects to win but
would not be surprised at defeat.

The foot ball team has gone to
California where they will to morrow
afternoon meet the team of the Nor
NAL at that place. The Normal
team is very strong this year and
have improved greatly since they
met Waynesburg early in the season
when that team was at its best.
They held Waynesburg to one touch
down
They expect to win the game but
will have hard tussle from the
very start. 1t would not be very
great surprise to see the Normanites
win the contest The list of cripples
on the University team has
kept it in very poor condition and
the fact that it has had no place to
practice has hurt it. 1t is TO be
hoped that next year it will be al
lowed TO use the athletic field for
the purpose of practicing.

The industrial developments in
the southern section of Fayette eonn-
w bid fair to make that quarter a
region of unsurpassed activity. The
American Steel and Wire company
have five hundred men at work at
their three plants, the Keener, Mos
er and Brown run. At the latter
plant two shafts are being sunk af
fording outlets at the most available
points. The Illinois Steel company's
plant on the Campbell and Brown
farms is being pushed to completion
by an additional force of men. 1t is
said the latter plant will be called
"Footedale" in honor of G. III. Foote,
a prominent official of the company.
Satisfactory progress is being made
at the Fitzgerald plant near New
Salem. w M. Lardin, prominent
business man of German township,
while in Uniontown this week dis
cussed the outlook for additional
transportation facilities. Mr.. Lar
din stated that three railroads would
cross his farm, as the surveys were

is the 2. IL L. +. extension from the

branch at New Haven. Mr.. Lardir
stated that the Lake Erie company
wanted to buy his farm which is
near Masontown, but be refused te
sell. The Lardin property is very
valuable, the mansion house being
one of the finest in the county Mon
day last was pay day at the works
of the Beaver Stone company and

pay at the latter for the past month

of $500. The citizens of that sec

the outlook for coal development
such as the comfy has never before
known
