FIGHT STEEL POOL.
WORKERS THREATEN TO TIE UP
EVERY MILL.

Advisory Board of Amalgamated Associa-
tion Meets at Pittsburg to Discuss Ques-
tion of Ordering General Strike
Pittsburg, April 1.-THE close of
the second day of the strike at the w.
Devices Wood :plant of the American
Sheet Steel company at Mckeesport
shows Il condition OF affairs that fore
BODIES a stubborn fight, involving the
possible shut down of every union
plant in the country controlled by the
company. The fight is being made by
the Amalgamated association for the
recognition of unionism, and Presi-
dent Shaffer'S announcement that all
of the company's mills would be called
out may receive sanction at the meet
ing of the advisory board today.
Secretary Jarrett, in charge of the
labor bureau of the company, will be
present at this meeting to present the
company's side of the matter and use
every endeavor to avert a general
strike. If the statement credited to
the company, that the McKeesport
plant will be closed indefinitely rather
than recognize the union is adhered to.
President Shaffer's attitude will de-
mand that the entire strength of the
Amalgamated association be pitted
against the sheet steel company as a
whole. The status of the strike IS
that only two departments of the mill
are in operation, the steel mill or fin
ishing department and the hammer
shop. The lnobling department was
working yesterday. but its workmen
to the number of 125 joined the strik-
erS.

Two weeks ago we advertised that we had at
the first of January One Thousand Dollars worth
more OF goods than the two other stocks put to-
gether. Our source of information was the re.
turned assessors books. Last week the Frisky
Kids jumped in the air and hoered their heads
off with lot of loafer talk that amounted to
nothing. What we said in ad true
preaching Any who will take the trouble
to investigate will find it as heretofore stated.
What made US talk Of the difference of amount
given the assessor the remembrance of the
amount given January 1900. At that time Gas
the people of this vicinity will remember we
closed out almost our entire stock at half price
sale but we still had at the first of January at
conservative invoice Three Thousand Dollars
worth of merchandise and yet not enough goods
to do clothing business, as it would entirely be
impossible to conduct clothing business with that
amount of stock. The situation looked so conf
cal to us that we with practically not enough
goods to do business WITH had paid taxes on
Three Thousand Dollars in 1900 and here some

properness give very little more and shout to beat

The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires con stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting direct ly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprie- tors have so much faith in its curative powers, that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testi- moniais.

THE WRONG BOTTLE.
Why One Chicago Young womnn's Hands Are Bzistered to O
 Lobster Hue.

Grace is afflicted with a sensitive skin, and when cold weather arrives uses up more bottles of soothing lo- tion for her poor. chapped hands than would stock small shop. The last thing before she goes to sleep she coddles her white digits with liberal dose of the liquid that best suits them. She did this the other night and. says the Chicago Daily News, as she rubbed it in" observed that it took long time to dry. Final ly she gave it up. She had a most uncomfortable night. Whenever she moved the sheets stuck to her hands and she fought them off much after the fashion of cat standing on four pieces of sticky fly paper. Once her hair got tangled round her left hand. and it nearly came out by the roots before she loosened it. This thor oughly awoke her, and she got up and lighted the gas. She had the most remarkable-looking pair of hands in Cook county. This was not altogether surprising, when she found she had used the bottle of furniture polish for lotion. And, not content to let bad state of affairs alone. she put on kerosene to take off the pol ish. The kerosene has blistered both hands to lobster hue, and she has three card parties on hand, and is go- ing to act as bridesmaid within a week

SENSIBLE WOMEN UNPOPULAR
They Earn the Anirnosify of Members of Their Own Sex Because They
 Are Not FashionabLs.

Of late it has come to be regarded as misfortune for a woman to be sensible, says the Chicago Chronicle. She is not in the fashion. and there fore might as well be out of the world. One of these sensible women had cook whom she cherished above rubies-cherished to such an extent, indeed, that sometimes she was moved to hustle out to the kitchen and de- clare that Kate looked pale and was in need of instant rest. Whereupon Katie was bundled off upstairs and milady herself would finish washing the dishes or making the cake.
 After four years of such humane treatment Mrs. Cook walked off with out a word of warning one day and her employer, descending from her stilts and becoming just an ordinary person, wept and declared the un- grateful one "a mean old thing"
 The sensible woman is fearfully hard on romances. She picks the prettiest love story in the world so to pieces that it looks like even less than 30 cents when she gets through with it.
 Each bit of sentiment she dissects with the aid of her merciless prac- tical sense and points out how it is founded on selfishness and will grad ually grow into indifference. There is fearful reason in all she says that makes deep impression on her nearer and perhaps leads that young woman to desperate and foolish deeds or renunciation.
 Once the sensible woman entered Q house of sorrow. A young girl lay dying there and her family were gath cred at her bedside, when the prac- tical woman came to. the door and called out one of the weeping ones. Marie" she said, in her brisk tones, 'it is evident Jennie can last but a short time. Don't you think I'd bet ter have the drawing-room swept so that she may be laid out in it?"

NEWS OF sAcAToN.
Pima Indian School Going Into the Brass
 Band Business.

The sacaton correspondent of the Native American has the following in- teresting items:
 The Pima school has received set of instruments for it's brass band. Several young men who have been mem bers of bands while atten ding distant schools have volunteered their services for the purpose of playing and meet regularly for practice. Good music will therefore be furnished by the Sacaton band without delay. An organization of younger boys belong ing to the school is being instructed by the acting disciplinarian, Earl A. Whitman. He reports that rapid pro- gress is being made. The advent of the instruments caused considerable enthusiasm among the pupils and is apprecia ted by all.
 Rain and cloudy weather during the past few days cannot but be very hope ful to the Pima Indians. Wheat got good start from the December rains and was needing rain or irrigation badly when the recent showers came. While it is too early to predict with much degree of certainty, it seems just now as if a wheat crop might be an- ticipated this year upon the reserva- tion.
 Soon after Major Hadley's return from his trip to Phoenix he was taken quite ill and is confined to bis rooms. It is to be hoped that he may soon be well again.
 Tennis playing seems to be a favorite means of of recreation for some of the school and agency people. It is fine sport and very beneficial exercise. Southern Arizona has an ideal climate for this game during the greater DOT tion of the year.
 The Pima school boys take great 1 pleasure in base ball. The pupils have to thank employees and others for at h. letic materials. The girls hope to be able to play basket ball soon.
 The large girls sitting room is very tastefully furnished and makes cosy retreat. The agency dwelling has been reshingled and the interior is being renovated by painting, kalsomining and paper hanging.
 1 Mrs. D. Il. Cook has been severe sufferer for many months. She has been afflicted with rheumatism, a broken arm that did not mend prop erly, and other complications. She has the sympathy of the community
 in her aftiietions.
