Alliance, May ga family by the
name of Klopfenstein, living within a
mile of Homework, is now affiict I'd
with smallpox. The wife was visiting
in Cleveland and contracted the disease
there. She came home and the house
was quarantined until it was thought
she had fully recovered and all dan
ger from contagion was removed Last
week the daughter was attacked by the
malady and is now in very serious
condition. There is great danger OF
the disease gaining foothold, as after
the quarantine was removed up and
until the daughter was confined to her
bed the family had circulated through
the community, unconscious of the
danger they had lurking with them
There is great excitement over the
situation and grave fears prevail that
other cases will develop within a few

expected.

Men interested in the coal mining in
dustry were surprised by the an
nouncement that NJ. A. Hanna & Co.
had obtained options that would give
them commanding control of the coal
of the Massillon district, says the
Cleveland Leader. Some of them think
that the announcement was premature,
as there are existing contracts to be
taken into consideration which will
make any immediate change in the
prices of Massillon coal to consumers
improbable.
Three years ago an attempt was made
to get control of the Massillon coal bus
mess, but 1t failed. The present trans
action is regarded as a renewal of that
effort, but some of the dealers are

has been successful. The Importance
of the transaction to the majority of
Clevelanders lies in the fact that about
60 per cent. of the bituminous house
coal burned in this city comes from the
Massillon mines. The purchase of the
! Massillon mines, or practically ali of
/ them, by NJ. A. Hanna & Co. would
! give that firm a command of the house
coal business of the city upon the
termination of present contracts, but
for the fact that there ere other coal
fields from which ii is thought coal
suitable for domestic use could be
brought to Cleveland to an even greater
extent than at present.
According to the dispatch from T0!-

Massillon coal mines now producing
There were said to be number Of un-
developed coal properties on which tha
firm did not succeed in closing options
The time these options have to run
is not announced. One of the signifi-
cant facts of the reported deal is that
the firm of Nj. A. Hanna & Co. is one
of those that have been prominent la
connection with the Pittsburg Goa
company. and the new deal may come
to be regarded as a Strengthening ot
the
POSITION OF THAT COMPANY.
The fact that President Joseph Ram

railroad. was prominent in completing
the deal for the options on the Goa

Church..

Des Moines. May 29.-By a vote OF
90 to 63 the general assembly of the
United Presbyterian church adopted
the judiciary committees report with
regard to an Interpretation of article
Is of the creed. The action of the
assembly is In effect to exclude mein-
bers of secret orders from admission
to the church. II is also interpreted
by some of the delegates to mean the
expulsion Of members Of the church
who now belong to the secret socie-
ties. The final discussion on the
question was long and heated. NJ. G.
McKittrick. Of Los Angeles. Cal. said
he would rather cut Oh his right
hand than to vote for the exclusion
of members Of secret societies al
ready in the church. ''If we let this
report 60 through as 1t is" said Rev.
DR.. McCreery, Of Pittsburg, heatedly,
I'VE are saying that men who have
been good members Of the United
Presbyterian church for years must
be turned out Of doors. want TO
tell you, fathers and brothers. that II
we pass this report without amend
ment we are going to make more trou-
BILE than the United Presbyterian
church has ever seen"
Favored Strong Action.
Some members Of the assembly who
are most violently opposed to secret
orders objected to the section of the
report of the committee which re-
moved the ban Of the church from
organizations which do not inculcate
Christless religion" r. G.. Camp
bell, who moved to strike out the sec.
ton OF the report, said this testimony
does not include such orders. and held
that labor unions should not be ap-
proved by the church. This idea was
strongly opposed.
The committee on ministerial relief
reported $4,000 in the permanent
endowment fund, an increase Of $79,-
$50 for the year. The assembly en-
dorsed recommendation by the
board increasing the maximum allow.
ance to retired ministers from 5000 to
$3.50 annually. and adopted a resolu.
tion urging better support Of the re.
