kee and 5000 tons of steel products at Joliet.
 Through the closing down of the Joliet rod mills the wire trade is for the first time affected, at least locally. To both these steel plants must be added three of the steel works of the National Com pany, the Bellaire, Mingo Junction and Keesport plants of the National Tube Company.
 Some of the blast furnaces have al- ready been banked or thrown out, and more are likely to folloy. The heavy cutting down of consumption of pig iron on the parts of the works of the United States Steel Corporation, of course, tells heavily on the chances of sales on the part of outside merchant furnaces of the Mahoning and Shenango valleys, and Bessemer pig is weak as consequence.
 '"rhe tube industry has been that most seriously affected by the latest devel- opments.n ow that the works in the Pittsburg and Wheeling districts, the most important of all are idle.
 Consumers are seriously embarrassed nthe lines affected, notably in tin plates, sheets. bars and tubes, and larger premimus are being paid for prompt delivery.
 "The loss of revenue which the United States Steel corporation suffers through the closing of some of their most profit able branches must be serious and a considerable part of the business is gone beyond recovery"

The negro admits-his thievery, but claims that stealing with him is disease that he can't help. He has already served long term in the mines for larceny and made his escape. During the period of his lib- erty he was coralled by the Selma police for having stolen number of quilts. pill lows and the like, and after fiworking on the streets for ninety days, was sent back to the mines. He served out the remainder of his time and came back to Selma only to begin again taking property that belonged to others
 It is estimated that the negro has stolen lately over hundred chickens from the little neighborheod just across Valley Creek. He says that when he works out his time for this offense he guasses he will steal again. as 1t is disease with him. Mayor Mcleod will endeavar to cure him of his ailment.

Two Mules and a Horse Killed By
 Lightning In Peculiar Manner.

Florence, August 2z.-Cspecial.)- )-During a severe thunderstorm yesterday, two mules and a horse met peculiar death by lightning at the plantation of Henry Smith in Colbert's reserve. this county. The animals were standing in a yard with their heads over a wire fence, but near no trees or buildings. when a bolt struck near where they were standing, and all shree animals dropped dead. A COW was standing in the lot some distance from the horses and at the end of the wire fence, and was also killed. The electric bolt was conducted by the wire fence, which electrocuted the four animals. The loss was severe as the animals were all fine stock. While the case is unusual in this section, 1t is a very common one on the cattle ranges of the west, and at times a whole bunch of stock Is killed by a bolt conveyed from a distance. Wire fences should be grounded at stated in tervais to prevent accidents of this kind

The pure milk question is becoming
Of such Importance that it has been
taken up by the courts. Several cases
have occurred in Iowa under law of
that state prohibiting the addition of
water or any other substance to milk
offered for sale. The courts hold
that the law is constitutional. They
ieclare further that if the sub
stances mixed in the milk are not
ieleterious, even if they are used
only to preserve its sweetness and
without intent to defraud, the dealer
who is guilty of Offering the sophis-
ticated milk for sale must pay the
penalties of the law. Statutes
against the sale of impure or even di-
iuted mixtures as milk cannot be too
rigid and cannot be too rigidly en-
forced.
