NOT A WHEEL
WILL TURN
GREAT STRIKE OF THE STEEL
WORKERS BEGINS TO-DAY.
PlTTSBURG WILL BE A LIVELY
STRIKE CENTER.
TRIAL OF STRENGTH BETWEEN
EMPLOYERS AND EMPLOYEES.

Pittsburg. Pa, July l5.-From pres.
ent indications it looks probable that
President Skaters strike order, is
sued Saturday night TO the Amalgam-
ated Association members in the EN-
ploy of the American Steel Co., the
American Sheet Steel Co. and the
American Tin Plate Co. will be obeyed
and the great struggle between the
Amalgamated association and the steel
companies will be on in earnest to-
day. An effort will be made also to
close down some of the non-union
mills of the companies and to cripple
the rest. The Amalgamated people
are very sanguine of success.
Developments indicate that Pitts
burg is going to be a pretty lively
strike center. The most interest at
taches to the Painters mill on the
south side, and TO that OF Lindsay
McCutcheon in Allegheny. Both mills
are controlled by the American Sheet
Hoop Co. and have hitherto been ag
gressively non-union, and much de-
pended upon the action taken by the
both mills helu open meetings yester
day and both decided to strike today
The Painter mill employs about 400
men and the Lindsay & McCutcheOn
mill about 800.
President Shaffer was asked if he
had set a time when, if no settlement
having been effected, he would extend
the strike to all the subsidiary steel
- -
Corporation He said he must decline
to make public his plans at present
1t may, he said however, on the
strength of reliable information, that
the strike within its present limits is
intended merely as a show Of strength.
AT the conference last week the rep
resentatives of the steel corporation
were repeatedly warned that the as
ISOLATION was much stronger than
they knew. They were even told OF
the organization of mills of which
they had no knowledge But the steel
men would not believe that the asso-
citation was as strong as it was
claimed to be. Thus it is believed the
first purpose of the association to
show its strength by combining the
strike to three companies. When that
SHOW Oh SllCIlS III IDS DtNll llleNNNf NAA''N
ever il may prove to be, the associa-
ton expects the companies to ask for
another conference. The Amalgamated
association and the Federation of La
Dor two years ago formed a secret al
lance, it is claimed, when it was
agreed that the association, when on
strike, could also call out the steel
men of the Federation. The latter has
organizations in many mills whose
workmen are not eligible to member.
ship in the association.
Muskegon, Mich, July 15.-About
100 men will be thrown out of en-
ployment by the order which was re.
ceived here by the president of the
Amalgamated association of this city
to the effect that the members OF the
union employed at the MuskeSon
branch of the American Tin Plate Co.,
should strike this morning.

They Broke Even.

Rio Janeiro, July 16.-The Brazilian
chamber of deputies has confirmed the
report of the committee appointed to
consider the case of Rear Admiral Mel
10 and which was handed to the cham
Der July u, and in which the accusa-
tons against the admiral were de-
clared to be without foundation.
The chamber of deputies decided
that Admiral Mellos accusations
against President Campos SALES of
Brazil, by which the officer attempted
to justify his own conduct at the time
of his arrest last April, were ground
less.

the grandson of the late Rear Admiral
Craven, T. S. N, was committed by
Supreme Court Justice Dickman to

IN A BARREL
Man Goes Through the Niagara Rapids
SUCCESSFULLY

Niagara Falls, ~ Y, July l5.-About
make his fif'h successful voyage
through the whirlpool rapids in bar
rel yesterday afternoon The barrel
is of licust wood. oval shaped, except
that it has a fat head; il is about five
feet long, 10 inches in diameter at the
foot and 26 incnes at the head. With
its 100 pounds of ballast ii weighs 165
pounds. The start was made from the
Old Maid of the MIST landing below
the falls. The barrel was caught in
an eddy and circled about a little
above the Cantilever bridge for a
quarter Of an hour. The stronger cur
rent in the middle of the stream final
ly jerked it out of the eddy into the
foaming waters of the rapids. Pass
ing under the second bridge the bar
rel had narrow escape from being
dashed 10 pieces against the stone
abutmeuts of the bridge. The passage
the rapids was swift. 1t took
the barrel five minutes to reach the
euuy from the SldI lIuS punt anu ~
minutes to get out of it. but il took
only three and half minutes to pass
the rapids and the whirlpool,
a distance of about a mile At no time
during the passage through the rapids

In the epidemic of small pox which
has ragged through the state for the
past year, Mankato has been most for
tunate in keeping comparatively free
from it. In fact, there is scarcely a
city of any Importance in the state
that has been as fortunate. On two or
three different occasions the disease
appeared here, but the prompt action
of the authorities resulted in most
effectually stamping it out. While it
may be too much to say that the action
which the school board has previously
taken has not been the prime cause Of
helping to keep the city clear of the
loathsome disease, nevertheless it is 6
fact, that the vigilance it has maintain
ed in the past, has placed the city il

SHE'D AT AN AUTO.
New Horse Overturns the Noe
Carriage.
MIR. and Mrs. Noe Receive Painful lnju
les as Result of Being Thrown Out
While Driving.

A skittish horse and an automobile
caused a bad accident at the corner OF
Broad and Liberty streets at about five
o'clock Saturday afternoon. John G.
Noe was driving north on the street,
with his wife on the back seat in the
surrey, and A. C. Bennett was going
south with his automobile, accom-
panied by his wife and child. When
the automobile reached point in
front Of D. S. Evans residence ii
stopped, as the horse driven by Mr..
Noe was showing signs of fright. The
horse was then at Parry Wysong's cor
ner, nearly block away, and Mr..
Bennett remained stationary until the
horse had passed.
The horse was one that Mr.. Noe
had driven only about month, and ii
had always exhibited some fright when
passing an automobile. This time ii
acted badly, and as it went down the
street past the machine it got the sur
rey to swinging. When nearly block
past the automobile, at Liberty street,
the horse caused the carriage to give a
lurch which upset it, and Mr.. and
| Mrs. Noe were thrown out. The horse
went on and the surrey righted itself.
At R. D. aubbard's corner the animal
| broke loose from the carriage and
started for B. D. Pays barn, being
caught ne ar there.
Mr.. snd Mrs Noe were both injured,
but the latter's injuries were the most
serious. Her collar bone was broken,
her left knee was wrenched in pain
full manner, one hip was bruised, and
she was cut on the face and head.
Mr.. Noe received a cut on his fore
head, and bruises about the face, his
right wrist was sprained and his limbs
J were scratched and bruised. Neither
was rendered unconscious. Assistance
Immediately came and both were
taken into j. Fl. Greenwood resi-
| dence, the old Gleason place. Drs.
harrington and Webster soon arrived
, and Mr.. and Mrs. Noe were made as
comfortable as possible. In short
time, Mr.. Noe was able to walk to his
residence on Center street, and Mrs.
Noe was conveyed there on stretcher.
Mr.. Noe will be confined to the house
| for several weeks, and Mrs. Noe will
be laid up some time longer. The fact
that the latter is an invalid has caused
an especially vide feeling of sympathy
fer her. 1t is thought, however, that
her injuries will not aggravate hel
trouble.

Noe hope that they will recover

WILL AMEND FRANCHISE.

UAdUlC
ing the Mankato Gas ana EIoo.---
Light Co. permission to- string its
wires and extend it's gas mains across
the river was laid over until the next
meeting as not full attendance was
present. The clause which it is pro-
posed to strike out is that which says
that the franchise is,not to extend over
any definite period of time. The COM
pany considers that this could allow the
council to revoke the franchise at any
time without cause. The council is
understood to be Willing to amend the
franchise inssuch q, manner as to make
it satisfactory to the company, and
this will probably be done at the next
meeting.
An application was received from
M. G. johnson, asking that the alley
that runs by his property, the old can
ming factory, be- vacated. This was
laid on the table, for the council
thought chat if the alley is not valu-
able now it may be some day.
The street commissioner had his
annual report ready, but it was laid
over until the next meeting, when
large attendance is expected.

The Barber Asphalt Paving Co. Of

pave it's streets. and give a guarantee
to keep them in good repair for a
period of ten years free. of COST, the
paving on 5O-foot street to cost $40
per 25 feet of front, the same to be
