tWo-story frame residence build

Gated on the river bank below the
Wheeling iron and steel plant, at Ben
wood, was totally destroyed by fire
yesterday afternoon and the loss
amounts to about thousand dollars.
The building caught fire about one
O'Clock, presumably from sparks from
railroad engine, and burned to the
ground In about an hour An alarm
was Immediately given and many vol
unteer firemen responded promptly
from various parts of the town. How
ever it was some time before a stream
of water could be gotten on the blaze,
as the water mains were found to be
dry and the local water supply COM
pany had to be notified by telephone
to turn on the water. During this de-
lay in getting a supply of water the
flames rapidly gained Roadway and it
was soon seen that the building was
doomed to destruction. The firemen
also turned their attention to property
in the vicinity endangered by the heat,
and accomplished some good work by
throwing buckets of water which they
secured at the steel works. The Henry
Schlipner property nearby caught fire
several different times, but was only
slightly damaged. The Harding prop
erty, which was an old land mark.

years, was occupied by August KEN

A GOOD COMPLEXION
Depends ON Good Digestion.


This is almost an axiom although
usually we are apt to think that
cosmetics, face powders, lotions,
fancy soaps, etc, are the secrets
for securing clear complexion.
But all these are simply superfic-
ial assistants.
1t is impossible to have a good
complexion unless the digestive
organs perform their work prop
erly, unless the stomach by prop
erly digesting the food taken into
it furnishes an abundance of pure
blood, a good complexion is is
possible.
dies are using Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, because they promptly
cure any stomach trouble and they
have found out that perfect diges-
ton means perfect complex
ion and one that does not re-
quire cosmetics and powders to
enhance its beauty.
Many ladies diet themselves or
deny themselves many articles of
food solely in order to keep their
compilations clear. When Stuart's
Dyspepsia tablets are used no
such dieting is necessary, take
these tablets and eat all the good
wholesome food you want and you
need have no fear OF indigestion
nor the sallow, dull complexion
which nine women out of ten
have, solely because they are suff-
ering from some form of indiges-
ton.
Bear in mind that beauty pro-
ceeds from good health, good
health results from perfect diges-
ton and we have advanced the
best argument to induce every man
and woman to give this splendid
remedy a trial. &
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can be
found in drug stores and costs
but so cents per package.
If there is any arrangement of
the stomach of bowels they will
remove it and the resultant effects
are, good digestion, good health
and a clear, bright complexion.

MANY employees OFT Duty |
THE LA BELLE IRON WORKS AND
TIN PLANT ON THE SOUTH SIDE
WERE PARTLY THROWN IDLE
Yesterday Morning by Strike of
the Firemen of the Iron Conn
pany-Men Not In Favor of the
Force Being Decreased While
Some of the Boilers are OF ON
Account of Repairs.

Nearly every department of the La
Belle iron works and the American Tin
Plate Company's plant on the South
Side were closed down yesterday MORN
ing and hundreds of men and boys are
off duty as a result of a disagreement
between the firemen and the iron COM
pany.
1t Is learned that there are eight
firemen, four for each turn, in the en-
ploy of the La Belle Iron Company,
who work at fourteen boilers which are
used to furnish steam for both the
iron works and the tin plant. Early
in the week four OF the boilers were
closed down SO that some much need
ed repairs might be made to the fur
naces, and as has been customary when
this department is not on in 1ull one
OF the fremen was laid off on each
turn. The firemen notified tie COM
pany Monday evening Of their desire
to have the fireman who had been laid
off on each turn taken on during the
partial idleness of the plant, as there
was too much work for three men, and
yesterday morning about 10 o'clock,
upon being refused recognition, Went
out on a strike. 1t is reported that
Dne of the firemen, who considered the
demands as unjust, returned to work
shortly after the strike had been IL
Rugurated, and together with water
tender, supplied sufficient amount OF
steam to keep three of the ten tin mills
in operation during the day In the
iron works the only department on
during the day was the tack factory,
which is supplied with steam from a
separate boiler.
In speaking of the strike yesterday
afternoon one of the firemen stated
that the men took such action because
they considered the work too much
for three men in such warm weather,
and intend to remain out until their
request is granted.
1t was rumored that the firemen also
demanded full pay while off duty dur
ing idleness at the plant at any time
for repairs, but one OF the officials OF
the iron company said last evening
that question of wages was not in
volved in the present difficulty, as the
firemen's demand for an increase in
wages had been granted short time
ago. He also said that the only de-
partments which were at once affected
by the strike were the tin mills and
the nail factory and one of the two
plate mills of the iron works, which
will continue work as usual and in
which over three hundred men and
boys are employed. 1t is to be hoped
that the difficulty at the iron works,
which is to be regretted, will be salts
factorily adjusted in few days.

extremely painful nature by an acct
dent, while he was engaged in his
work at the Riverside mill yesterday
morning about four o'clock. He was
walking over a trestle in the stock
house and in some manner lost his
footing and was precipitated to the
ground, distance of about twenty
feet. He was severely shaken up and
rendered unconscious. He also re-
ceived bad scalp wound and had his
right hip bruised. The employees in
this department at once ran to the I'M
fortunate mans assistance and he was
taken to the Emergency hospital,
where he received the necessary medi-
cal aid. Later he was removed to his
home. The attending physician stated
while Mr.. Lotus was badly hurt, the
propects are very encouraging, and
that with care he will recover.
