BAY VIEW FIRES ARE DRAWN
Milwaukee Steel Workers Prepare
for Long ldIeness.
BIG STRIKE ON IN EARNEST,
Mr.. Tighe Was Sharply Questioned at
Milwaukee by MIR. Hickey, Leader of
the Anti-Strike Forces-New DimcuIty
In the East.

Milwaukee, Aug. 2O.-The Bay View
were drawn Sunday, and when they will
be started again is something on which
no one, men or officials, dare to haz-
ard guess. 1t is clear, however, that
all feel that months of idleness are be-
fore them. The men are preparing to
vacation and others will wait quietly
for further developments. 1t trans
pires that Assistant Secretary Tighe
was not successful in answering the
charge made by the Bay View men
that the strike was unconstitutional
and had to succumb to the sharp ques-
tioning of ]. ID. Hickey. who led. the
anti-strike forces. Mr.. Hickey held the
floor for over an hour hurting pointed
questions at President Shaffer's repre-
sentative, until finally Mr.. Tighe said
that it was useless for him to attempt
to argue with Mr. Hickey, who was
one of the best posted men on the con-
stitutional law of the association. Had
constitutional question alone been
at stake there would have been no
strike, but Mr.. Tighe brought the men
out on two propositions. The first was
that if they took any action except
to vote to obey the order of President
Shaffer they would not be in a posi-
ton to claim work as union men any
where in the country nor would they
have an opportunity to appear before
any convention of the association. The
second was that If they went out it
meant that several mills in the east
which had been waiting to see what
the western men did would follow
them. Among these mills Mr.. Tighe
named the Duquesne mill, which he
said was ready to strike provided the
western men stood with the associa-
ton. With these propositions before
them the men by a three-fourths vote,
which was afterward made unanimous,
decided to strike.

WATER PURIFIED BY OZONE.

Moscow's Successful Plan for Keeping
Down Infectious Disease Germs.
A new method of sterilizing a city's
water supply is being successfully OPP
Grated in Russia and it was described
at the annual meeting of the American
Association of Waterworks Engineers
recently held in New York, in a paper
forwarded by Nicholas Simin, chief en-
gineer of the city of Moscow where
the system has been adopted and ac-
cording to NJ. Simin is universally
commended. The plan is to sterilize
the water by the introduction of ozon-
lied air and it is contended on its be-
half that it destroys all the bacteria
in the water and makes it at compare
lively small cost absolutely safe for
drinking purposes, So far, the system
has not been adopted outside Russia,
but NJ. Simin contends that in this
country conditions are more favorable
than anywhere else for its adoption,
and he advocates it's introduction here
as tending to solve all problems in re-
gard to contaminated water supplies.
The system is based upon the prin-
ciples that ozone burns all organic
matter with which it comes into con-
tact in water, including bacteria and
their vital products, that with water
which has been freed previously of
suspended matter the destruction of
the bacteria is equally efficient no mat
ter how great may be the number, and
that the pathogenic bacteria are
among the first to be destroyed. The
publication of the water in this way
is simply a development of and an i'm
provement upon the ordinary aeration
of water by means of atmospheric air.
The air, before coming in contact with
the water, is subjected to a series of
electrical discharges which convert the
oxygen from diatomic oxygen to tria-
tonic oxygen which is ozone and is
remarkable for its power of oxidizing
organic matter including the bacteria
in water The cost is put at $6.25 for
each million gallons, or in large plants
even less. Extensive experiments in
the system have been made in France.
Germany, Holland and Belgium. The
necessary removal of suspended mat
ter is accomplished by using small
quantity Of coagulant for mere clarifi-
cation, NJ. Simin says. Oxonization
oxidizes not only the bacteria, but all
organic matter. The water is rendered
colorless, sparkling and ordorless. 1t

course, is beneficial.-New York Sun.

campaigns with varying success. Re-
Gently its members have obtained con-

situation was greatly complicated by
a Colombian army appearing upon the

the anti-church element as interfer-

PLANTATION was made officially by the
Colombian government that the boun.

The Ecuadorean government has never

BUFFALO. MODEL CITY.
It's Water system a Wonder to Experts
From Other Towns.

It's Water system a Wonder to Experts
From other Towns.
To persons interested in municipal
government one of the sights of the
Pan-American Exposition at Buffalo is
the city of Buffalo itself, which has
the reputation among municipal ex
perts of being one of the best gov
ened cities in the world. 1t has 4.00O,-
900 square yards of asphalt pavement,
almost as much as New York itself,
its system of parks and boulevards is
scarcely surpassed in the world and its
other public utilities are not equalled
in a town of its size. Most of all,
however, Buffalo's water system is
agreed by experts to be a wonder. It's
plant is valued at $9,000,000; the
water supply, coming from an intake
in the middle of the Niagara River
within a mile of Lake Erie, Is mex
haustible, and in the center of the city
is kept a vast distributing reservoir.
which alone has capacity of 49,
100000 gallons. Water comes to Buff
falo from the river through two great
tunnels, both hewn out of the solid
rock. The pumping station which
controls the supply is the largest In
the world. 1t has $3.50 horse power,
driving through the mains daily 49,,
100000 gallons. which is almost equal
10 the flow of the River Thames. Buff
falo owns and operates its own water
plant Although the population of
Boston is twice that of Buffalo, twice
as much water is consumed in Buff
falo. as in Boston, and the cost and
revenue of the Boston water plant are
four times those of Bartholomew
York Sun.

The Success Of Failure.

BY SARA LINDSAY COLEMAN.
Copyright, 1901, by Daily Story Pub. Coz
She was a tiny creature. 1t seemed
precocious for her to be twenty years
old; her hair curled wilfully on her
neck and brow; in the dark-lashed
gray eyes, in the hooking red mouth,
a charm, rare, perverse, charm that
transcribed beauty lurked. She rode
slowly up the mountain trail. On
every side strange flowers shone,
MOSES covered fallen logs; in the IN
terstices of broken rock great pines
grew; a stream in its seward rush
leaped and swirled over It's rocky Deo'
Lost in a mesh of thought she was
brought back to the mountain trail
by sharp blow on her face that dis
lodged her hat. Her steed, a mule,
went on in spite of the desperate pull
on his mouth. She felt herself being
lifted from the saddle, her eyes STOOD
out, her face blanched with pain, I'M
less something stopped the mule
course the low-lying limb OF a tree
that had caught her hair threatened
to place her in very uncomfortable
position for the party had gone on
and there was no help in shouting dis
lance.
"Absalom, Absalom," a laughing
voice called, 81 am coming" and down
the mountain path man came run
ming at full speed. He threw the
mule back and released the girl from
her painful position.
In radiant good humor with himself
and all the world he looked up at her
with laughing eyes.
1t was her fate to be seen by him
at a disadvantage. There are people
who always see one at ones best, but
the Professor came on the scene when
Miss Peyton was least DESTROYS OF
spectators. Not two hours before she
had plunged from a rock into the Pro-
fessors long arms and he had laughed
and said he knew she would fall just
there so he had waited to save her
few bruises. The afternoon before
when the male members of the camp
ing party were fishing, she, at the en-
treaty Of the girls who knew her repu-
tation for such adventures, had climb
ed to the top of an apple tree, gone
out on the limbs and tossed apples to
the hungry girls, and in an endeavor
to descend swiftly, warned by them
that the men were approaching, had
caught her dress which refused TO
tear, and hung in mid-air to be
rescued by the Professor.
Are you all right?" The Profess
sor's laughter had changed to solicit
tude
yes" The haughtiness in her
voice was born of humiliation.
The Professor led the mule up the
mountain side, breathless task. In
spite of the young woman's protest he
clung on to the bride. Finding con-
versation a failure he relapsed into
silence.

STEEL MEN FROM THE SOUTH.
Train Load of Non-Union Workers Reach
Monessen, Pa.


Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 20.-A party OF
strike breakers brought up from the
south by special train have been safe
ly delivered in the steel mill at Mones-
sen and the United States Steel corpo-
ration expects to add that plant to the
number running partly or full with
non-union men within the next twen-
ty-four hours. The Carnegie proper
ties have also resumed without a
break in the forces operating them,
and that fact, Joined with a promise of
any early start at Monessen, leads the
steel officials here to take a hopeful
view of the situation. The strikers
claim that men enough to start the
Monessen mills cannot be OF sained and
that they have not yet shown their
hand at Duquesne and the other Car.
negie plants, but promise that later de-
velopments will indicate their strength
to better advantage. A report from
McKeesport says at least forty officers
are patrolling the grounds that sur
round the big Duquesne works 1t has
been reported generally throughout the
valley that $50 men have gone on
strike in the converting mill. Meth.
ing definite can be learned, but the
officers seem to be much worried and
there is a great deal of excitement in
and around the works. 1t is claimed
that five lodges of the Amalgamated as.
ISOLATION have been organized in the
different departments of the works.
There is talk of the possibility of an
extension of the strike to other trades.
The structural iron workers and brick.
layers are becoming directly interested
through the question of handling ma
terial made by the United States Steel
corporation. The strike leaders say
that they have the absolute promise OF
support from those two trades, and
that they will refuse to handle non.
