Hand-knitted petticoats are also seen in
this soft wholesome wool, in which all
garments have a ragged, homemade air.
The skirts are made to fit tightly about the
waist, where they are drawn in with rib
bons, and to hang with frill suggestion at
the bottom.
Except for the sleeves, the underbodies
are almost ShapeleSS, ribbons also holding

The Extra Wraps.
Throat mufflers, knitted sweaters, leg

that the dancing boy filings off on cold days,

wash clothes. his fur or velvet-trimmed
overcoat covers them completely.

Sterilize Water.
From Success.

The sterilization of all water used in
and about the house, whether for drink
ing or not is advocated by French
hygienic expert, M. Mellere. Boiling
will do it, but an addition of one two
hundredth part of hydrogen peroxide
will accomplish the same result, as will
also the permanganates in about the
same proportion. Tincture of iodine may
be used for drinking water in the proper
ton of four drops to an ordinary carafe.
There is a Slight taste of iodine, but it is
not injurious to health. The sterilization,
however, lasts for only half an hour

Been Accomplished Don't

Charles T. Harrison, the United
States road expert who has had charge
Of the building OF the model road on
| the West Side, has received orders
sfrom Washington to pull up stakes
here and move to Arkansas. This
means that there will be no more road
built here under the direction of the
government. This county court will
have charge of whatever is done 10
the future.
Mr.. Harrison will make all arrange
ments to move all the machinery,
This Will require ten days or two
weeks. Then he will leave for Bates
vile, Arkansas, where the govern
ment has undertaken to build some
road. Later, he will have charge of
similar work at Fort Smith, Sebartian
county Ark.
Mr.. Harrison Is ordered away at
this time because he has been here
much longer now than the bureau at
Washington can afford to furnish a
a man De says the work was drag
geo along in most unsatisfactory
manner, chiefly on account of the de-
lay in getting material. What has
been done, is done well, but more
would have been accomplished had
the material been furnished.
AS IL is, one quarter of a mile has
been finished, end is a triumph of
road building. The whole stretch
from Riverside to Granville has been
graded and is ready for the stone. The
road has been widened, and II properly
finished, will be In every way eqlal
TO what has already been done.
The big road roller has been offered
to the County County for $4,000 This
roller was furnised by the manufac-
turers free OF charge, simply as an ad-
yertisemenS. Last June, 1t was Of
fered to the court for the regular sell
ing price Of $4,000. The court would
not buy at that time, but gave some
intimation that it would later. Judge
Harner favored the proposition, and
II was understood that Mr.. Core did
also. Jennewine was out and out
against 1t.
In August, the roller was refused.
Mr.. Core had experienced change Of
heart, saying bis constituents were
opposed to 1t. Mr. Sheetz, the agent
came back at this term, and offered
the roller for $2,750. Mr.. Gore still
objected to bnylng and Sheetz offered
the machine for $1,000.
A Pittsbnrg frm has an option on
1t for ~, $50, but rather than ship 1t
away and give the good roads move
ment black eye, 1t was offered to
the court for $3.50 less. This was also
refused.
Mr.. HaraeI thinks IL great mis-
take not to buy the roller. One will
be needed, II the West Side road Is
finished, and II will cost nearly twice
as much as it can be bought for now.

Thursday evening an attempt was
made to land dozen glass workers
in the Seneca factory. The men
were captured by strikers and left
the protection of their guards and
went with the strikers.
A car was attached to the train
which arrives here at six fifteen
from Pittsburg. News ofits coming
had been wired to the strikers here
and delegation vent to Point
Marion to intercept the men and
induce them to leave the employers
and join with the strikers.
1t is stated that a scrap took
place between some of the committee
who went to Point Marion and some
of those in charge of the strike
breakers. No names can be secured
as to the parties engaged.
The car door was broken and there
was lively time. On arriving in
Seneca a still liyelier time was ex
perienced.
1t had been intended to place the
car on the factory siding and back
1T into the factory but the siding
had been filled with cars short
time before the train arrived and
this was impossible to be done.
A wait of about twenty minutes
was made and during this time a
large crowd collected. They broke
windows in the cars and with
whoops and yelis tried to reach the
men in the car in spite Of the guards
aud the police.
Finally as it became evident that
it would be useless to disembark the
passengers at this point the conduc-
tor gave signal to go ahead.
Many Of the crowd surrounding
the train boarded it and came to
town. Arriving at the station there
was more disorder and the men with
the deputies came up on Front street
to take street car.
Before this had reached the fac
tory all OF the men who were brought
in had been induced to get out and
go with the strikers
There were turbulent scenes all
along Front street and Beechurst
and the deputies who went TO the
factory were followed to the COM
pany's line by hooting crowd.
No arrests were made by the
police who stated that they were
powerless in the lace of so many
people and that they did not want
to precipltate riot.
The men who were brought in
came from Corning, New York. 1t
is alleged By the factory people that
they were non union while the
strikers say the men had been
informed that there was no strike
here but men were wanted for new
factory.
Eleven guards accompanied them
to town but they could do nothing
when the first break was made. The
men left the guards and went with
the strikers who were jubilant over
the result of the effort to get them
away from the factory and keep
them from working.
Small delegations OF workmen
have been arriving Tor several days
and they have all been taken in tow
by the strikers and after joining the
union have been sent out of town.
1t is whispered that warrants will
be sworn out for some of those
engaged in the riotous demonstration
|of last evening. An injunction
prohibiting interference with the
guards or their charges will probably
be applied for.
The factory people are more than
ever determined to run non union
and the stikers are encouraged with
the success of their efforts to prevent
this being done.
After the excitement had died
down on Beechurst racket on High
