Cleveland. Ohio, Jan. 1T is variously
estimated that fully 1o0CO employees re-

the result Of "a general resumption Of COM

probably 5000 to 1000 more men were
put to work in the northern part Of Ohio.
For the last three or four weeks IL was
expected that many factories that have
been shut down would reopen on January
6. Not only did many reopen, but many
resumed work with their usual number OF
employees. In other instances the working
force was increased. This was true both
in Cleveland and the surrounding towns.
It is generally believed that practically
every factory in this district viii be run

In Youngstown, Ohio alone IL is re-
ported that nearly 5000 men went back

LOCAL OPTION IN
CARROLL COUNTY

Carrollton, o., July 26.-The tenn
perance forces have issued a call for
a county convention to be held in the
court room at Carrollton on We'd
nesday, August 5, when an organi-
zation will be formed to bring about
an election in Carroll county in ac-
cordance with the provisions of the
Rose county local option law. 1t is
likely that the candidates for state
senator and representative will be in
vited to address the convention and
make known their views on the, tenn
perance question. 1t is the intention
of those in charge to have the petit
tions put in circulation the first Of
September, and they expect to have
the required number of signers by
September 8. when the county COM
missioners will meet. They state
that the election will be held in Oc-
tober, and the county will go dry by
a vote of two to one.

A QUEER PRANK

The home Of Mrs Sophia Roger,
who lives near Cairo. was the scene
Of an unusual trick by lightning yes
terday afternoon. A bolt struck the
chimney and passed down to the first
floor of the house and then spread out
through the floor. The carpet was
torn in twain and then the bolt shot
across the floor and the building was
badly damaged. There were a num-
ber of Mrs. Rogers friends at the
house and all of them were more or
less stunned. Mrs. John H. Krowl
was the most affected and for time
was unable to walk as the bolt had
passed over her foot and the muscles
of the leg were temporarily paralyzed.
None of those shocked were, however,
seriously or permanently injured.
