SURPRISE FOR STRIKERS.
Employees Of Mill Listed as Likely to
Run Ready to Go out.

Pittsburg, July 1S-The most i'm
portant Of all the news regarding the
steel workers strike that reached
Pittsburg today was the action Of
the men employed in the Duncansville
plant of the American Steel Hoop
company. A telegram was received
by President Shaffer from the men
this morning asking if they should
strike. The message was a surprise
for the Amalgamated people, as they
were not looking for this news so soon.
President Shaffer answered telling
the men not to come out unless they
were organized. If organized they
should strike, for they were needed. In
the afternoon telegram was received
from Duncansville asking that an or
ganizer be sent to. them at once. In
compliance with this request, Vice
President John Pierce started for
Duncansville this evening, to COM
plete the organization. A meeting is
expected to be held tonight. Duncans-
vile plant is on the list of Hoop
plants to remain at work and the
Amalgamated association officials say
if they are successful in closing this
plant they will be masters of the sit
uation as far as the Steel Hoop COM
pany is concerned at least. No re-
port has been received as yet from
the organizers who went to Wander
grift to do missionary work at the
big plant at that point. 1t may be
several days before definite results
will follow.
The storm center of the great
strike was today moved from Pitts
burg to Wellsville. News that the
Wellsyille plant of the American
Sheet Steel company was now in
shape to run full and that men would
be imported from Vandegrift. Pa,

Seattle, July 18-The steamer Roam;

brought particulars Of terrible food
on Fish river which occurred on June
15, causing the loss of ever 1000.
The food swept down Fish river, de-
molishing buildings, sweeping away
stores and houses and carrying gen,

damage was almost entirely confined
to Council City, where every building
but one, the Dauntless hotel, was de-

log cabin and although the cabin was
destroyed, it contained ice and thus
saved the hotel. The people are liv-

Crete to Be Restored to Greece.

The European powers have asked
Office as high commissioner Of the is
land Of Crete after the expiration of his
present three years term, and the
prince has of course consented. AS
there appears to be no time limit on his
incumbency the request practically
amounts to the annexation of the island
to the Hellenic kingdom. AS the powers
evidently want Greece to have the is
land Turkey is powerless to prevent it,
and there is likely to be little if any
trouble in the eventual actual transfer
of sovereignty. Crete is wholly Greek
island, though about a quarter Of the
inhabitants speaking the Greek tongue
are Mussulmans. The island was prac-
tically given to Greece by the powers
as compensation for the loss Of the
Thessalian territory taken by the Turks
as the result Of the war of 1897.
Turkey has lately shown signs of be-
ing worse "sick man" than ever. TIA
ly bankers for a part of Albania, and
Austria and Montenegro banker for the
rest, while Bulgaria. menaces Turkish
Macedonia, and the Greeks are again
expecting the cession of Thessaly and
Epirus.
The attitude Of the powers toward
Greece in the matter of Crete gives en-
couragement to her hope for the resto-
ration of her lost territory on the pen
insula 1t is not altogether improba-
BILE that something of the former glories
and prestige of the Hellenic court may
be revived.

The Epworth League.

The fifth international convention of
The Epworth league, recently held in
San Francisco and attended by thou
sands Of energetic and enthusiastic
Christian young men and women, was
a notable event In the religious world
and cannot fail to have most beneficial
results. Particularly notable in it's pro-
gramme of exercises was the promi-
hence given to the moral and social in
terests of religion feature which has
been observable in other recent con-
ventions of similar societies, by such
topics as 1.-THE Young Christian as
Citizen" "Civic Righteousness" 1.-THE
City and It's Perils," ''The Problem of
the Poor" 1.-THE Church and the News
paper" ETC. Missionary and benevo-
lent work, including systematic benev-
olence, formed another leading group
Of subjects, in connection with which
there was large exhibit of missionary
and educational work.
The Epworth league, which ranks
next in numbers among similar organi-
cations of young people to the unde
nominational Society Of Christian En-
deayor, was formed in 1889 by the con-
solidation of various small societies
previously existing. It's chapters now
extend from Norway to Malaysia, in a
score of foreign lands, and spread
through four great branches of Metho-
dism in the United States and Canada
There are now 10000 "senior" chapters
Of the league and 1900 Junior"
leagues, the former Increasing by
thousand chapters annually. Like 9th
er religious societies of young people,
both UNCONVENTIONAL and undenomina-
tional, the Epworth league is a great
force for good in the world.

has "embalmed" the milk, rendering it
nOnnutritious in all cases and poison
Gus in many. This is perhaps Of no in
terest to people who get their supply of
milk at first hand, but there are many
persons to whom it will furnish use

themselves that their milk is $50 good

not sour in a thunderstorm will usually
find il test is applied that it has been

Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the larg-
est sale of any medicine in the civilized
world. Your mothers and grandmothers
never thought of using anything else for
Indigestion and Biliousness. Doctors
were scarce, and they seldom heard of
Appendicitis, Nervous Prostitution or
Heart failure, etc. They used August
Flower to clean out the system and stop
fermentation of undigested food, regu-
late the action of the liver. stimulate
the nervous and organic action OF the
system, and that is all they took when
feeling dull or bad with headaches and
other aches. You only need few doses
of Green's August Flower, IN liquid
form, to make you satisfied there is moth
ing serious the matter with you. Get

900 in cash, for which it received credit
by the bank, but which appeared on
the books Of the firm as a deposit Of
$4,000.
Another mistake Of the bookkeeper
was the failure to credit the firm for
$34 900 Of warehouse receipts deposited
in the bank early in April. The de-
posit of these receipts is the same as
deposit of cash, and the failure to ac-
count for them caused reduction of
the working capital of the firm by that
additional amount
