day, February 25th, you can get pass
age TO Lansing and return for one fare
for the round trip. The State Round
up Farmers Institute occurs the last
three days OF February, at the Agri-
cultural College. The program is a
novel one, In the forenoons the crowd
is divided into three sections. The
women go to the Woman's Building
where for three days instruction is Civ
en- in domestic art, cooking and sew
ing; the fruit men have section by
themselves each forenoon, with a pro-
gram that would do juctice to any fruit
convention. In the general farm sect
ion a drill is given every day in stock
judging, taking up horses on Tuesday
cattle on Wednesday, and sheep and
swine on Thursday; the best talent
available is secured for training the
people attending, in the art OF judging
live stock. Every day at nine O'Clock
instruction is given on veterinary top
les, and at ten on stock feeding. The
afternoons and evenings are given ur
to more general topics. The Institute
is thus in itself college education In
brief. No farmer who can possibly
leave his business can afford to mis-:
this opportunity.
Programs will be sent to all who re-
quest them.

SOUGHT TO MARRY.
John Lynch Was Angered Because
Miss Courtney Refused to
Marry Him.

Because she refused to marry him, John
Lynch lunged at Miss Julia Courtney with
q knife. She threw her arm up and parted

Yesterday afternoon he knocked at the
door of her room. She called to him to en-

MAKE THEIR FIGHT
ON one Big PLANT,
Strikers Hope to Close Mills at Du-
quesne Before Many
Hours.
NIGHT FORCE BADLY CRIPPLED.
If This Mill Is Closed Other Large
Plants Will Have to Cease
Operations for Lack
of Material.
NIGHT FORCE BADLY CRIPPLED.

P%ittsburg. Pa. Sept. 1.-The principal In
terest in strike matters to-day was cen
tered in the Duquesne plant. where it was
| expected the strikers would make a de-
! clded move toward closing down the entire
works. The report from there tonight says
the situation Is critical. .
The two boss meters and all the first hep
ers went to work as usual this morning
and all twelve %urnaces were charged. On
ly one second helper went in and all ladle
men stayed out. The strikers made a
thorough house-to-house canvass Of open
hearth men all day.
At 4 o'clock. the time for helpers and
ladle men to go on, pickets were on duty
on the streets and turned back three ladle
men. The night turn is badly crippled. but
men were brought from the Ressemer de-
partment to help out and the mill Is running
the strikers say that not a man will re-
port tomorrow.
Mills Must Shut Down.
II the open hearth Is shut down the 40
inch mill must also shut down. This mill
supplies Monessen, Vandergrift and tin
mills. hence the movement 10 important to
the strikers. Mill officials admit to-day
that a strike is on. but say no serious re-
suits will follow.
Thirty coal and iron police were brought
from Braddock and the night and day
borough police with other extras are on
duty. Everything. SO far has been con-
Quoted In an orderly manner.
Still HOpeu for q Settlement.
President Simon Burns. whose reputed
interview with President C. NJ. Schwab In
New York over the long distance telephone
Is generally believed, said to-day that he
had not heard anything new from New
York. He remained absolutely. noncommit-
tai regarding his plans for bringing about
peace. but he is hopeful an, evidently be-
Meves that some solution Of the present Sc
rious predicament of the Amalgamated As
ISOLATION will ultimately be found.
Will Keep Up Picket Duty.
Reports from the other plants show an
unchanged condition. It is given out that
the officials of the strikers will not permit
any relaxation Of the picket duty to-mor-
row. in spite Of the special ceremonies go
ing on in the interest of organized. labor.
The force Of pickets will be maintained in
every vicinity. and all mills will be kept
continually under the eyes of the strikers,
who will be able to act promptly should
%nonunton men arrive at any hour of the
day or night. 1t has been generally be-
lleved that the corporation would taxi adj
vantage Of Labor Day to rush In a larger
force Of nonunionists than usual and this
has been provided for.
