WORKMEN WANT NO STOCK.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Jan. 5.-Tne Opin-
ion prevailed in labor circles that the
proposal of the Carnegie Steel COM
pany to give the workmen another
chance to invest in stocks of the COM
pany, to be paid for out of their earn
ings, will meet with little favor among
the workmen. An extensive canvass
among the workmen was made today
and most of them said that they would
not avail themselves of the cOmpany's
offer.
mo money is the excuse given by
the Workmen, none of whom will allow
themselves to be quoted further for
fear of an afterclap. There has been
irregular work in the mills of the Car
negie Steel company in spite of the
stories sent out. Whatever work was
done was at a rate much smaller than
that which they mad received in pre-
vious years.
Within the past year their wages
have been cut from Is to II per cent,
and they fear that there will be further
price cutting. A majority of them have
decided to put their money in the
banks instead of making stock in
vestments.

HAVE BEGUN THE CANVASS
COMMITTEE WILL SOLICIT SUBJ
scRIPTiONs FOR YOUNG MEMS
CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION.
State Secretary Wilcox Will Direct
the Work-PIans Adopted at
Meeting Yesterday.

Under the direction of c. w. Wilcox,
state secretary of the Young Mems
Christian association, the work of rails
ing money for the purpose of establish
ing a Young Mems Christian associa-
ton in Walla Walla will be taKen up
at once, The plans for the campaign
were outlined yesterday afternoon by
Mr. Wilcox at a meeting of the citi-
zens committee and the canvass will
begin Immediately. Mr.. Wilcox will
remain in Walla Walla several weeks
and has established his office in the
Reynolds building.
Some time ago Mrs. Lettuce ]. Rey-
nolds offered to give her two-stOry
brick building on Main street, near
Second, to be used as a home for an
association. provided that 5000 was
raised to construct an addition to the
building, remodelling the structure and
furnishing it. OF the amount raised
$4,000 is to go to Mrs Reynolds and as
long as she lives she is to receive 1925
per month from the rentals of the
stores on the first floor.
At the meeting a form of a pledge
was adopted and this will be circulated
among the business men and the citi-
zens in general asking them to contrib
ute. The young men of the city will
also be asked to contribute $4,000 or
more toward the fund. 1t is believed
by the promoters of the proposition
that the desired amount can be raised
without difficulty and everybody is
asked to assist in securing the money.
The citizens committee is composed
of the following well known people OF
WaIla Walla: Gilbert Hunt, chair
man; E. l.. BruntOn, secretary; w. P.
Winans, treasurer; A. r. Burford, Max

filed with kind of terror. When she
saw that look in his eyes it seemed to her
he demanded so much-so much more
than she had to give.
Say no more now. Remember you have
known me but little over a MONTH" she
murmured.
"A month and two days" he replied al
most sadly. and then. striving to resume
his light and merry mood, he said. How
we'll you are looking tonight-better than
/ have ever seen you.
1t was the most direct compliment he
had ever paid her. and Miss Ledyard
flushed with pleasure.
II took a brisk walk this afternoon"
she said, though no doubt any improve
ment you may notice in my appearance is
due to the way my hair is dressed. My
maid returned from visit OF few weeks
in the country today. No one can dress
my hair as Lucy does it,.
Perhaps that is it, replied the pro-
lessor alphabetically. The charm of the
evening was broken. 1t seemed impossi-
BILE to recall it, and a little later the pro-
fessor rose to take his leave.
Good night" said Miss Ledyard as
their hands touched.
Good night" said the professor SOL
EMMY.
There was something which chilled
them both. It almost seemed as though
the leave taking was final.
The professor passed out into the hall,
the footman preceding him to the door.
When he had gone half the distance the

turned quickly. Miss Ledyard's maid,
Lucy, had just entered the hall from the
farther end and was going toward the
stairs.
The professor turned very pale: then,
striding up to Lucy, he demanded:

After a lengthy session, which at one
time looked as though there might be
an open rupture among the members
the republican county central COM
mittee at meeting held yesterday af-
ternoon in Sheriff Painters private
office unanimously endorsed DIR. Yam
cey c. Blalock for physician at the

about thirty other persons, who are
seeking jobs at the prison.
For warden A. F. KEGS received the
endorsement of every member of the
committee except one. That was Will

explanation of his refusal to endorse
KEGS. He said that as KEGS had al
ways fought him and all his friends
politically he could not consistently
support KEGS for the place. Therefore
he desires to go on record as being
neither against him nor as acquiescing
IN the endorsement, and he demanded

truthful version of a sill
~ and scandalous story
This malicious tale has been circulated
regarding man who, although young
is widely known as skilled scientist
and who is only less widely known as
q man of noble and unselfish impulses
because the circle of his intimates is
necessarily smaller than that which is
familiar with his achievements in the
domain of science
AS for the woman in the .case-O1
course, there being a scandal. it is I'M
necessary to quote the trite French
adageshe is so obscure, SO absolutely
unknOwn-of the thousands who have
made merry over the story scarce one
knew her last name-and, besides be
ing blameless, she is SO absurdly hap
py that it is hardly worth while tc
waste any sympathy upon her.
With Professor Babbage, though, il
is different matter. When in the col
umns Of society paper and yellow jour
nal a man of his celebrity is said tc
have been seen by his fiancee, who
opened door inopportunely (the place
being the hallway of her own house
which of course made it all the worse)
in the very act of kissing the hand OF
her maid-but why repeat the details
Of this cruelty misleading accusation
It is better to give them in sequence
from the beginning.
On the 9th Of September, 1901, then
it is well to be exact-three ladies were
sitting in the second story front room
Of the Women's Auxiliary Society Fol
Charitable Work, making fancy things
for coming church fair. They were
Miss Virginia Ledyard, Miss Florida
Smith and Mrs. Jack Harper. The two
latter were young and pretty women
Miss Ledyard could hardly be includ
ed in this category, although she was
five and thirty summers.
The three ladies had been chatting
earnestly as they stitched away or
their embroidered centerpieces
worsted shawls. doll clothes. and what
not which were intended for the fair
The talk had conferred principally
about Mrs Jack Harpers husband and
Miss Florida Smiths fiance.
The appearance of Miss Ledyard's
maid, Lucy. gave new turn to the
conversation. She had come with q
package of colored silks her mistress
had forgotten. Lucy was rather re
markably pretty girl. Soft and gentle
of voice, graceful and noiseless in
movement, she was altogether an at
tractive and quite refined young per
son.
Lucy" said Miss Ledyard after she
had opened the package of silks and
made sure that the shades she wanted
were all there, "as you leave please

"Very well, Miss Ledyard." And
Lucy went out.

Der of the committee, asked it to en-
dorse him for the position of state
clerk. He claimed that several weeks
ago that he had been promised the
place by a prominent politician of Ia
coma, but subsequently had learned
that the place had been parcelled out

He had telegraphed Governor elect

said Cadman, that 1 cannot get the
place, but 1 want the committee to en-

committee then gave Cadman their
unanimous endorsement

Blanket Endorsement
A list of names Of about thirty per-

approval without dissenting voice. In
the list was the name of j. C. Hilyman,

Philip Berry. The endorsement did
not carry with it any special position.

Real "Indian Summer"

Indian summer properly comes late
in November. The season gets it's
name from the time when the early
settlers first planted indian corn. This
corn was left on the stalk as long as
the stalk continued green. The crop
was gathered during Indian sum
mer," sometimes after snow had ar
rived The cold spell which usually
preceded Indian summer was called
"squaw winter"
