MANY PLANTS IDLE.
Readjustment Still in Progress in the
Iron Trade.

Cleveland, O., Nov. 5.-The Iron Trade
Review saws:
The news of the week gives plenty
of indications of the process of read
justing values which is in progress
throughout the iron trade. Many blast
furnaces and steel works have been
put on the idle list. More furnaces will
go out when raw materials on hand
have been worked up. Pig iron has de-
clined further in the week; coke is
lower; the pool price on steel billets has
been cut. and in connection with some
forms of finished material on which
agreements have existed the only open
question is as to the date of announce
ments of new prices. Foreign business
leads in interest. Some good export
sales of plates and steel bars have been
mace, but no authentic statement of
tonnage IS given oIt. The ma terial
goes largely to Great Britain. The bar
business is understood to be under
negotiation.
I, In the cast concessions on structural
material are regarded as possible.
Much depends on the billet meeting in
New York today. Independent inter
ests have sold steel at 81 a ton below
the pool price. and the amount of steel
marketed at cut prices has given rise
to reports of concessions by concerns

COMING DRAMATIC EVENTS.

Alexander the Great" which will be
presented by Louis James and F'reder-
lex Warde tonight, is an attractive til
tie for play. Managers Wagenhals and
Kemper have evidently increased their
reputation for lavish attention to scenic
equipment in Alexander the Great"
There are six elaborate sets, and they
have made a feature of the scene above
the clouds, where the great commander
imagined he had arrived at the end of
the world. The scene is laid among
the mountain peaks with frowning
chaSmS seen through the jutting crags.
The encamDment is seen to be situated
among the Clouds which move hither
and thither with the wind. terrific
electric storm adds terror to the al
ready dramatic situation brought about
by the plot of the play, and as this
abates, the clouds begin to rise, snow
and sleet descend. this developing into
a binding blizzard. The storm eventual
" subsidies and the exhausted army is
cheered by a beautiful sunrise, such as
can only be seen in mountain heights.
Every mechanical contrivance which
could enhance the realism of this scene
has been utilized. Other scenes, such
as the one showing the siege of the town
of MALTA with all the implements OF
warfare and that depicting the splen-
dor and mysteries of the great Egyptian
Temple of Ammon are only less elabor-
ate.

HOLDUP FRUSTRATED.
Party to a Conspiracy Gives the Plot
Away.

New York, Nov. 5.-An alleged plot
which might have resulted in the death
of Samuel Lewis. a clothing manufac-
turer in Mercer street has been disclos-
ed by information which reached Dis
trict Attorney Jerome a few days ago.
Edward Deveau, employe of private de-
tective agency, said to be native of
Nova Scotia. is under arrest on charges
of attempt to commit grand larceny, as
sault and robbery. Miss Ella Egan, a
handsome young stenographer also is in
the hands of the police. She is being
held in the house of detention as a wit
ness, charged with having knowledge of
the plot
Several days ago Walter Nelson call
ed upon the district attorney and de-
clared he had informal ton of plot to
rob Mr.. Lewis. Nelson said he was en-
ployed by a private detective concern
and that Deveaus, a clerk in the office
had tried to hire him to assault Lewis
Agents of the district attorney took the
matter in charge. Nelson was Instructed
to accept the proposikic1. He managed
so well that one of the county detectives
was taken into the scheme. 1t appears,
according to Nelson. that Miss Eagan,
Deveau's sweetheart, was employed by
Lewis, She told Deyeau that the manu-
facturer frequently remained in his Of
flee until late in the evening and then
walked down from the top floor through
a dark stairway with large sums of
money 1t was planned to strike him
down with a piece of lead pipe. Mel
son says he was instructed to hit hard
and if he had done so with the weapon
Deveau furnished, Lewis certainly would
have been killed. The scheme was put
into operation. Nelson and the county
detective, who was posing as an expert
criminal, entered the Mercer street build
ing while Deveau remained outside on
| the watch. Other police agents were Sc
| GREETED in a building opposite and when
| Deveau had taken his post he was ar
rested He refused to discuss the affair

H. E. Huntington has built and is to
build in California with the Southern
Pacific may never take place, but dat
ing from today E. H. Hartman and
Kuhn, Loeb & Co., of the Southern Pa

Pacific Electric railway of H. E. Hunt
ington and 1. w. Hellman in Southern
California. They are also to be close
partners of Huntington in the electric
systems he aims to build out from

basis the lines of the Southern Pacific
wherever they come into competition
with the Huntington electric lines are
to work in harmony. In the San

lines is to be built and the Hartman

OLD AND NEW WAY
Hyomei the Latest Scientific Discov-
cry for the Cure of Catarrh.

The discovery of Hyomei has wrought
a wonderful change in the treatment OF
catarrh.
Prior to three years ago the medicines
ordinarily employed in the cure of this
disease were nauseating drugs and
worthless tonics. In some instances
they benefited, but the Improvement
was not lasting.
With Hyomei you take into the air
passages of the throat and head bal
samic air that goes to the ninutest
cells, effeetually killing all germs and
microbes of eatarrh. It enters the blood
with the oxygen, killing the germs in
the blood. and restores health to the
whole system. Many astonishing tes-
timonials have been received from
those who have been cured by Hyomel.
A complete outfit costs but $1.OO, and
includes an inhaler, dropper and suffi-
cient Hyonei for several weeks treat
me:lt-
Perhaps the strongest evidence that
can be given to dos1bters. is the fact
that Geo. w. Stansdeld, druggist, 632
Kansas avenue, has so much faith IN
Hyomei that he sells every package I'M
der a positive guarantee to refund the
money if it does not cure.
Now is the time to begin the use OF
Hyomei.
