FIFTY THOUSAND OUT
Strike of the Steel Workers Involves the
Hoop Trust.
UNION MEN ARE TO WALK OUT.
Contain Them-Some Mills Looked for
Action - To Others 1t Comes az a
Surprise.

PITTSBURG, July President T
J. Shaffer of the Amalgamated Asso-
citation of Iron and Tin Workers will
| this morning issue an order calling
cut all union employees of the various
mills of the American Steel Hoop
company, known as the hoop trust. 1t
! is estimated that $4,000 men will be
subject to the call, which, in connec-
tion with the big strike of the Ameri-
can Sheet Steel company ordered by
President Shaffer on Saturday, will af-
ect $4,000 men.
President Shaffer said tonight: ''The
impression that only the mills of the
American Sheet Steel company are af-
fected by the decision of Saturday is
mistake. The workmen of all mills
in the American Steel Hoop company
are interested and will be officially no.
titled this morning that the scale has
not been signed and that they will
quit work. The to the we'll organized
mills this notice will be no surprise
for the men who have watched the
situation carefully, but what is known
as open mills where union men have
been allowed to work side by side with
the non-union is where we have to
move. Union men must walk out of
these open mills in the hoop trust.
"The open mills to be notified are
one at Hollidaysburg, Pa, three at
Pittsburg and one at Monessen. The
organized mills which will close on our
call are the Upper and Lower mills at
Youngstown, O.; Pomeroy, O.; Sharon,
Pa; Girard, Pa; Warren, Pa; Green
vile, Pa. This, believe, will bring
the number of men affected up to 50,-
600. 1t is a matter of regret that the
issue has been forced, but it now looks
as thought it will be a fight to the
death"
Continuing, Mr.. Shaffer said: "The
Amalgamated association is not un-
prepared for it. We have not had a
general strike for many years, and in
that time we have not been idle. We
have funds and will use them. Right
here l want to correct an impression
which has been given out that no ben
efts will be paid strikers until two
months have elapsed. The Amalga- |
mated association will begin at once
to take care of it's people"
Mr.. Shaffer concluded his talk by
saying: 81 will say now what 1 said
to Mr.. Smith, general manager of the |
steel company in the conference. l |
said if it is to be a strike we will
make 1t one to be remembered. The
officials now dealing with us have but
little idea of the extent to which this
strike will go, once it is on"

NEBRASKA SOLD WAR HORSES.
Two Thousand Of Them GalIop for Eng
Iish Army Against the Beers.

LINCOLN, Neb., July During
the last two years Nebraska farmers
and stockmen have sold to England
over 1000 horses for service in the war
in South Africa. The price paid has
varied from $50 to $50, but the gen
eral average has been $35 per head.
Most of these horses came from the
western part Of the state and were
sold at South Omaha or Kansas City,
where the English purchasing agents
maintained headquarters. There is
still good demand for the tough an
imals known as war horses" The
dealing just now is inactive, but it is
said that the purchasing season will
soon open and that there Will be a
ready market for all horses that can
be supplied.
When England began purchasing
horses in America the agents demand
ed young, thoroughbred animals and
the price paid sometimes went as high
as $100, but they took only animals
that were selected with great care,
and were sound in every bone and
fiber. The extravangance Of these op-
erations was soon demonstrated and
the English agents in America were in
structed to be less particular in select
ing the animals. Horses are extreme
ly sensitive to climatic changes and
conditions and it was found that even
the best American horses could sur
vive only about six weeks OF active
service in the South African war.
The agents began experiment with
common stock and it was found that
the ordinary plains or range horses
from Nebraska, Wyoming, Montana or
other western territory could do just
as effective work and live as long in
South Africa as the high-priced thor
Oughbred horse.

Better Than "ChrIsttan science.

Jetmore, Kans., July 1st-Mrs. Anna
Jones Freeman, daughter of Mr.. G. G.
Jones of Burdett, and one of the most
popular ladies in Hodgeman County
has been a martyr to headache for
years. 1t has made her life a continual
misery to her. She suffered pains in
the small of the back, and had every
symptom of Kidney and Urinary Trou-
BILE.
Today she is as well as any lady in
the state.
This remarkable change was due en-
tirely to remedy recently introduced
here. 1t is called Dodd's Kidney Pills,
and many people claim it to be an in
fallible cure for Kidney Diseases,
Rheumatism and Heart Trouble.
Mrs. Freeman heard of Dodd's Kid
ney Pills, and almost with the first
dose, she grew better. In a week, her
headaches and other pains had gone,
and she had left behind her all her
illness and days of misery.
A medicine that can do for any one
what Dodd's Kidney Pills have done
for this lady, is very sure soon to be
universally used, and already the de-
mand for these pills has increased
wonderfully in Pawnee and Hodge
man Counties, where the particulars Of
Mrs. Freeman's S case and it's cure are
known.

Trade With Switzerland and Exports of
Manufactured Goods Increasing.

Ira0e WlCn SWltZeElanO anu Exports OF
Manufactured Goods Increasing.
WASHINGTON, July 1.-One of the
most interesting extracts from the vol
ume entitled Commercial Relations
of the United States for 1900" was
made public Saturday by Frederick
Emory, chief of the bureau of foreign
commerce, dealing with United States
trade in Switzerland. Consul Clifford,
stationed at Basel, says Switzeriand's
trade figures are especially noteworthy
as showing that this diminutve repub-
lie, about half as large as the state Of
Maine and which would be swallowed
up in big Texas, is commercially the
most highly developed part of the
world. Not even industrious Holland
or Belgium, says the consul, can dis
play the astonishing figures of $3.50 of
foreign commerce for every unit of its
population of barely 100000 reached
by Switzerland. These remarkable re-
suits have been attained by country
without seaports, without coal or iron
in fact, without any considerable
quantity of raw material for the man
ufactures it has to sell.
According to Consul Morgan at
Aarau, Switzerland is almost wholly

Hoe. Metals Feel"

Can metals feel? Recently at the
Royal Institution, Professor Jagadis
Chunder Bose proved that they can,
in much the same way as animate be-
ings. He struck a piece Of copper,
pinched piece Of zinc, gave it poison
and administered an antidote, ana
threw light upon an artificial retina.
In each case the electrical emotion, as
registered by the galvanometer, was
painful to witness. AS the London
Mail suggests in telling the story
there is an opening for society 1or
the prevention of cruelty to metals.

Constitutional Convention to Discuss 1t
This Week.

In1S week.
HAVANA, July During the COM
ing week the constitutional convention
will discuss the electoral law. The
project submitted by the commission
provides only for the election of COLI
gressmen, governors, state representa-
tives, mayors and councilmen. No
agreement has been reached as to
whether the president and senators
shall be chosen by popular vote.
The discussion of the electoral lew
will probably open up an argument
by the conservatives against a federal
republic with many provincial officers
as entailing heavy expenditures. The
conservatives will oppose granting ab-
solute autonomy to the provinces and
municipalities. An effort will be made
to change the constitution and to in
vest the central government with ap-
pointive and veto power.
Universal suffrage seems to be 4
popular movement, but the general
opinion is that it will be impossible
to get the congress to change the form
o. voting.
Governor General Wood is improv-
ing, but his physicians advise him to
desist from public duties for some
time. He received the cabinet secre-
taries yesterday and today.

UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA,
LINCOLN, Neb.-The past week has
been warm, with heavy showers in
the northern counties. The daily
mean temperature has averaged one
degree above normal in eastern coun-
ties and two degrees in western.
The rainfall of the week was heavy
in the central and northeastern coun-
ties, generally ranging from one to
three inches bu- in a few instances
reaching nearly six inches. In the
southern and southwestern counties
the rainfall was light, being generally
less than half an inch.
Winter wheat has ripened rapidly
and harvesting has commenced in
southern counties. A few reports in
dicate that the heads are rGther short,
but well filed with plump berry.
Oats have improved in northern coun-
ties, but continue to indicate a small
crop in southern. Spring wheat is
generally doing we'll. Corn has grown
well, but is backward and needs warm
weather, and in southern counties
NOR rain. In the northern counties
rain has delayed cultivation, md corn
is generally getting weedy. Consider
able alfalfa hay was dana ged in west
ern counties by rain while curing. In
southern counties the dr. weather has
damaged grass in pastures and mead
dows, but in the northern counties the
prospect is for an exceptionally heavy
hay crop, and the pastures and range
are unusually fine. Peaches promise
a good crop.

American duty against British paraf-
fine manufactured from Russian naph-

fact that article 626 had never pre-

also that Mr.. Gage did not mention

; LINCOLN, Neb., July III can
say positively that the prospects for

ably be the largest in the history of

tion, but trifie late in growth Ter
ritory in the immediate vicinity of
Lincoln has been dry recently, but
all other sections of the state have
had good rains and l was unable to
find any corn that had been killed by
drouth.''
This reassuring information was
given by Charles T. Neal, a grain
dealer of Lincoln, who had just re-
turned from an extensive trip over
the state. He visited nearly all of
the grain growing counties and gath
cred opinions relative to grain from
the best posted men in each commu-
nifty, besides making personal inves-
LEGATIONS.
I'm some sections corn has been
delayed by lack of moisture, but the
damage has not been extensive" con-
tinued Mr.. Neal. "Just at this time
corn does not need much rain and
unless the dry season is protracted
and accompanied by hot winds the
cereal will get along well without
great deal of moisture"
