from the surgeon in charge of the
pressed fear that the disease was
prevalent there. DR.. Wyman imme-
diately availed himself of the presence

directed that he proceed at once to
Hampton and make a careful examina-

Men Who Employ Union Men the Ones
Who Are Suffering.
Chicago, July 31.-A strange anomoly
of the strike situation is that the man
ufacturers who employ union brick
makers have done nothing to offend,
but still it is their yards that have
been shut down, while the non-union
yards, whose offense is in not employ
ing exclusively men with union cards,
are running full force and are incon-
venienced in no way by the strike. The
non-union manufacturers declare that
they will pay no attention to the
strikers, but will go on making brick
and ship them or store them. AS long
as their men are satisfied and are re-
ceiving practically the same wages as
the union scale they claim that the
union has no grounds upon which to
interfere.
Refusal of the north side manufac-
turers to attend the conference Satur-
day called by the masons and builders
in relation 10 the strike dispelled any
hope of a speedy adjustment of the
tangle. which has led to cessation
of nearly all building operations in the

Reward for Return.

Reward for Return.
Houghton, Mich, July 31.-Joseph,
the 1O-year-old son of Charles Ruelle,
disappeared last Friday afternoon. His
father believing that the lad has been
stolen has offered a reward of $500 for
his safe return or information TO his
recovery. When last seen the boy, who
has dark eyes and complexion, with
small and rather sharp features, was
dressed in blue striped calico waist
with dark knee breeches, black stock
ings and shoes and a dark cap.
