SICKNESS

Is sometimes q slight ailment, but it is
SO often followed by serious sickness that
the wise heed its warning voice without
delay. At the first symptoms Of physical
discomfort or disturbance, the first lam
guid, wearied feeling-yes, even before
they appear it is the greatest wisdom to
take Hoods Sarsaparilla as a preventive
and cure. Loss Of appetite, dull head
aches, bilious turns and that tired feeling.
as well as blood eruptions, boils and
scrofulous or eczema symptoms, are all
promptly dispelled by Americas Greatest
Spring Medicine. A single bottle will do
you an immense amount Of real, practi-
cal good. Get it Today.

THE SCALE SIGNED.
THE WAGES AT THE LA BELLE
ADJUSTED LATE WEDNES-
DAY EVENING.
WILL BE ON IN FULL MONDAY
The Matter Settled satisfactorily to
Both Company and Employees.
Capt. Travis Seen Last Night-NiiI
No. 1 Started Yesterday.

Late Wednesday afternoon the wage
scale was signed by the LaBelle Iron
Company. All the trouble at the plant
has been settled and the mills will
start on in full Monday.
President Shaffer, of the A. A. of /.
S. & T. W., was in the city and attend
ed the conference on Tuesday and
Wednesday. When seen last night by
a representative of the Register, Cap
tain Travis stated: The scale
signed was satisfactory to both the
company and employees, but do not
know just what the advance is. The
hands at the furnaces will be paid on
a tonnage basis, according to the new
scale, and not so much a heat as be-
fore. Mill No. 1 was started yester-
day and all the others will be on in full
Monday. President Shaffer was here
attending the conference"
From another source it was stated
that the heaters would receive IA cents
and the rollers cents per ton in ad-
vance. And that the average advance
through the mill would be 10 per cent.
The outlook for the last half of the
year is very promising at the LaBelle,
and steady run is anticipated.

THOSE ANTI-BOER PAPERS.
Geological Survey Clerk Alleged to
Have Been Assaulted.

WASHINGTON, July 26.-To-day L. r..
Via, clerk in the Geological Surpey, who
has been furnishing the Democratic Con-
gressional Campaign Committee with it's
information regarding the anti-Boer docu-
ments, was set upon during the noon
hour by six employees of the Bureau of
Education. Mr.. Via, it is alleged, was
hustled about considerably and called all
manner of hard names until he defended
himself by striking out right and left.
He was threatened with immediate dis
charge, it is said.
AT the Democratic headquarters it was
charged that the documents arrived from
the headquarters of the South African
Imperial Association, No. 66 Victoria
street, London, in a large packing case.
They were distributed by three girls en-
ployed in the Bureau of Education, who
pasted on the address labels, assisted by
three colored and two white men, who
packed the addressed documents into mail
bags. Frank Morrison, Commissioner
Harris's messenger, it is said, superin-
tended the job. All these parties are en-
ployed by he government and it is
charged they were working at the distri-
button of these documents in Govern
ment time.

IRON AND STEEL MARKETS.
American Manufacturer Says There
Are Some Encouraging Signs.

American Manufactures Says There
Are Some Encouraging Signs.
PITTSBURG, Pa, July 26.-The Amer1-
lean Manufacturer will say tomorrow:
The markets are showing some changes
that are regarded as the advance move
ment i'll favor of a reaction, but the
changes are confined to the finished lines
and in those branches of business to the
smaller and more highly finished pro-
ducts. Prices are still moving downward,
but consumers are actively inquiring and
in many cases placing contracts. which is
better than for some weeks. The raw ma
terial markets are still sleeping, not
withstanding that prices are really be-
low cost of production and ready to drop
still lower If the prevailing offers do not
induce trade to come out of hiding. In
the case of Bessemer and the foundry
! irons there is no business and no prices
! that are quotable. Billets have been sold
as low as $40. That rate on billets must
mean not more than SIS for Bessemer
Whether it will go lower is serious
problem, as that is an improbable figure
for producers and furnaces are going out
each week. 1t is fair to say that to-day
the idle furnace capacity will reach GU
per cent. of the total productive capacity,
and more furnaces are booked to so out
of blast this week
There has been within the past few
days an unusually brisk demand for bars
at Chicago, sales running up TO 5000 or
10000 tons for shipments extending
throughout the next twelve months
Prices have been named at range which
is said to be below cost.

President Gary, of the Federal Steel
Company Says Iron Industries
Cannot Afford to be Idle.
CHICAGO, July pa conference of
steel and Bessemer pig iron interests
was held here to-day in the offices of
the Federal Steel Company, in compii-
ance with call issued by Presiden: Z.
h. Gary, of the Federal Steel Com
pany, President Schwab, Of the Car
negie Steel Company, and Joseph G.
Butler, Jr., representing the Bessemer
Furnace Association
At noon the conference, at which
practically all the steel and iron in-
terests OF the country were represented.
adjourned until 10 a. m. tomorrow.
The Post to-day says:
big steel and iron mills throughout
the country are not going to shut down
for they cannot affard to- They have
too many orders on hand" was the
statement made by E. H. Gary, presi-
dent of the Federal Steel Company
just previous to the meeting of the
presidents of the large steel companies
this afternoon.
Il have not heard of the proposition
ITO close all of the mills of the country
for a month. If such proposition has
been made, it never came from the
manufacturers. l will say positively
that none of the Federal Steel Com
pany's mills other than those which
are already closed, will be shut down.
AS | say, the times are too prosperous
and the mills cannot afford to close.
I'VE have met. Just as the railroad
presidents meet, to discuss rates, so
that fair schedules for roads and pa
irons may be obtained"

SHANGHAI, June 20, 1900.
"You see | am in Shanghai. Have

course, the newspapers have alarmed
you, and indeed there is plenty of cause
for alarm. Had 1t not poured rain Sat-
urday night and Sunday night in 500

one left to tell the story. On Saturday
we felt that they were ripe for an at
tack, but it poured sheets of rain on
Sunday, making 1t impossible to do
anything. Rain always cools off
Uhinaman for a while. We left for
Shanghai on Monday. One of the

There are a number of men-of-war
in the river and this city is well guard

ly think that there can be trouble, but
four of us with some of our Chinese
Christian refugees are getting off to
Japan next week to remain indefinite

fore leaving 500 Show for days we did
not dare allow ourselves to go fast
asleep, and one night we spent a good

shoot them down decently, it would
not be so bad, but to be sliced and
pitchforked and quartered alive is an
other thing. 1t is awful now, but

be awake, and just think of he joy OF
working then"
