The Cleveland Iron Trade Review Resume oi
the Week in Iron Circles.

The Cleveland Iron Trade Review Resume Of
the Week in Iron Circles.
The week has been entirely without
precedent in the magnitude OF the bust
ness done and ia the forwardness OF the
movement. Naturally, the discussion
of ore prices Is on, and the price schedule
heretofore talked Of, based on a 81
vessel rate, will now undergo revision.
Inquiries from furnacemen are still
coming in, but No ore meeting Is prob
able for a few weeks at least. Esti-
mates from tho mines as TO probable
production in the 12.month following
the close OF navigation will be awaited
boioro the question OF next years bust
ness is taken up seriously. The events
OF the week have made $4.75 az base
more likely than So 80 for old range

Matt Hu1a Moves His Stock into the OIL
Green Bay House.

Matt Hurja Moves His Stock into the Old
Green Bay House.
The extensive mercantile business Of
Matt Hurja was this week removed
from the corner Of second street and
Superior Avenue To the old Green Bay
House which Mr.. Huria purchased last
summer and has been for a couple oi
months fitting up for occupancy as a
general store. The new quarters are
much larger than the building W hich Mr..
Hjura has been occupying and he will
be able to keep his wares under one roof
whereas heretofore he has been under
the necessity OF renting couple OF
warehouses apart from the main store.
The growth of Mr.. Hurja's business in
the last five years has been phenominal.
La 1891 he started business in "a modest
way on the corner OF Crystal Avenue
and ith street. His trade was confined
at that time principally to his own
people, the Finnish residents OF the city.
The hard times which came on soon
aiterward effected Mr.. Hurja's as well
as every other merchants business
in the place but instead OF being dis
couraged he kept right on hustling and
in lS95 had 80 increased his business
that he found it necessary tn move into
new quarters 30 he rented the old Koob
bakery building and moved his stock
into IL. In bis new stand his trade and
stock kept on growing. One by one.
departments were added to the BUSINESS
until today he carries n general mer-
chandse stock. His trade in by no
means confined to his own nationality
he having "a fair proportion oi the trade
OF all nationalites. Four delivery
teams are kept on the road and Il hall
dozen clerks kept busy all the time. The
growth OF Mr.. Huria's trade is n fine
monument 70 his industry and integrity
and he is looked upon by all classes as
one OF our best citizens and
husting business man. The DIAMOND
DRILL wishes him success in his new
quarters

There IL Is Again

Some wild eyed fakir is responsible for
the following item which appeared IN the
State Republican last Thursday even
ing;
81 he majority oi counties indebted
to the state have paid up. Three couu-
ties are still in Arrears. and there is II
disposition 10 quarrel with the auditor
general over the indebtedness, the
matter may soon be taken into tho
courts. Iron county is among the
counties in arrears, but ns there il no
dispute over the amount it is not prob
able that the collection will bo pressed
especially in view OF the fact that the
county is unable to raise the money.
Since the county deiuulted in the
payment OF bonds n few years ago its
credit has been impaired, and the state
would gain nothing by pressing suit
against it,"
| Iron County owes the state ak thous.
and dollars aud by the way the delin-
quent taxes have been coming In this
amount VIII Uc puiu ny Jun. ibl. ~
was for this reason that MIR. Humphrey
agreed with the board OF supervisors to
let the matter rest and not because oI
any difficulty in raising money. Iron
county never dciaulted in the payment
OF any bonds and it's outstanding war
rants, which at one time were quite
numerous owing to the non-payment Of
taxes, have all been taken care OF.

Special Dispatch to the Post-Inteliisencer.
WASHINGTON, Nov 2s.-Speaking as
the personal representative OF MS sister,
Mrs. Dewey, John r. Mclean tonight said !:
II have advised my sister. Mrs. Dewey,
to keep absolute silence with the public,
and know she will acquiesce in my wishes.
She has been very much overcome by the
unnecessary publicity, and today she and
the admiral are overwhelmed with. not
hundreds, but thousands, OF teiegrams Of
sympathy with the afflieton that has be-
fallen them In this furious and thought
less attack upon their domestic life.
Admiral Dewey's statement has had
great effect in accomplishing this revalson
OF sentiment. Necessarily the American
public has no reason TO doubt the probity
of the admiraIs public or private charac-
ter. Among the kilograms today was one
from Emery Mcmillan. of New York. TO
the effect that II any person desires a re-
turn OF his subscription 10 the Dewey
home fund. and IL the admiral would for
ward list OF the contributors to McMil-
ian. together with any letters or dispatches
requesting refunding Of the money Mr.
Mcmillan would Immediately reimburse all
applicants In full
Il also desire to say that nothing has
happened to us throughout our lives which
has caused such grief this public furore.
Mrs. Dewey was always the iioiized IA
yorite OF the family. We feel her grief
very keenly and propose 20 defend her
This trouble also has seriously affected our
aged mother who looked forward to the
coming Of Admiral Dewey with such pleas
ure and admiration. and who was so happy
In her daughters marriage"
