As a result of the fight at Alva be-
tween Rev. Ross, pastor of the M.
E. church, and Gene Hardwick, a
saloon keeper after trying it fist and
skull for awhile each one went his
way to choose his weapon for future
fight. The saloon keeper bought a
revolver and the preacher news
paper. The citizens are scared to
distraction. They do not know

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF Figs, manufactured bv the
CALIFORNIA FIe SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. II
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub.
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIe SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
remember the full name of the Company
printed on the front of every package.

NothIng Materially New 0ovoIopsd Yoster-
dAy-A Needing Of Local Dtrsstors.
There was nothing materially new in
the strike situation yesterday.
During the afternoon the local Direc-
tors of the Company, with the excep-
ton of Mr.. Stone, who had not re-
turned from New York city, assembled
at the Fort Henry Club. and discussed
various matters from Company
standpoint. Diligent enquiry failed to
|evolve anything material as result of
this conference, however, even officers
of the Company saying they were ig
norant of what transpired. President
Conderman is not in the city, despite
all rumors to the contrary, and he is
not expected even on Saturday, from
what can be learned. The Company is
running its cars with the usual regular
ity, but passengers are fewer than
week ago. Everybody is waiting for
something to turn up.
Meanwhile the authorities and leaders
of the labor organizations are perfect
ing the arrangements for Saturdays
labor demonstration, and it promises to
be one of the biggest things ever seen
in this city. Large delegations are ex-
pected from all the surrounding towns,
and several thousand men will probably
be in line. The route of the parade
and various collateral details have al
ready been published. In day or two
additional information as to the COM
position of the column, etc., will be
available
Candor compels the statement that
there is no present prospect of settle
ment of the differences between the
Company and the men, although it is
the universal hope that some speedy
means of arriving at an adjustment
will be found. Mayor Sweeney and
others are working to that end, but can
only report progress.

is Mr.. B. X. McAIechen, who was seen
yesterday. He said that the reason
why separate ordinance was not
printed in readiness for Tuesdays
Council meeting was a lack of time, as
it was desired that the measure should
be promptly brought to the attention
of Council, and as the Company he
represented asked for nothing more
than had been granted the Consumers
Company, the ordinance of that Com
pany was deemed sufficient, with the
simple change in the name. Mr. Nc
Mechen said further that his Company
was prepared to go into business in
earnest, to give modern and efficient
light, at even less cost than private
plants could be maintained for, and
that if the franchise was granted by
Council work would be promptly I'M
dertaken and carried out in good
faith.

returned home about six weeks ago.
She was an estimable lady and was
loved by all who knew her. She was
devoted member of the Catholic Church,
and the funeral services will take place
at the Church of the Immaculate
Conception. The interment will be at

gradually lessened. At length the
groups of men who stood about dis
cussing the affair began to dispense,
and it was not long until only small
aggregation of citizens remained.
The entire police force was put on
guard in the vicinity of the city
building, and they are deserving of
considerable credit for the manner in
which they handled the crowd. A
large delegation of boys gathered
around Immediately after the arrest,
and became very noisy in their demon
STATIONS, suggesting most anything
for.revenge. They were soon dispersed
by the police.
About 80 o'clock a number of
boys assembled in front of the city
hall and there were some demonstra-
lions as one of the cars passed by.
The deputies who were abroad entered
the crowd, and Henry Loring was
taken into custody by Chief Deputy
Law. The crowd attempted to in
terfere in the arrest and for a few
moments it looked as though
A CLASH
might ensue between the strike SYM
pathizers and the deputies. The latter
promptly drew their revolvers and the
crowd drew back. The prisoner was
placed on the car and taken to the
Ohio county Jail, the commitment
being made out by Deputy Law.
Shortly after the arrest of the two
car men largesforce of deputies were
taken to Benwood from the barns.
During the evening the cars passing
through the city were well guarded,
five deputies being stationed on the
rear and front platforms of each car.
After s: 80 o'clock no cars were run to
Benwood from the barns. At 1920
O'Clock last night the streets were
practically deserted and it was evident
that the more considerable citizens had
prevailed upon the more angry in
dividuals to refrain from using any
violence in the matter, and to let the
law take its course. The lookup was
guarded during the night by two of
the officers
One of the eye-witnesses to the sad
affair was the mother of the victim,
