SCORE OF PERSONS WOUNDED
Wild Riot at Pressed steel Car Plant
In schoenville, Pa, Whose En-

Many Arrests Made.

Pittsburg, Pa.--one state trooper,
one deputy sheriff and five for.
eigners were shot and killed in a wild
riot at the Pressed Steel Car plant
in Schoenville, whose employees are
now on strike. At least score of
persons were seriously wounded, ten
fatally.
The riot scene was practically in
describable. Mounted state troopers
galloped indiscriminately through the
streets with riot maces drawn crack.
ing the heads of all persons lettering
in the vicinity of the mill. Deputy
sheriffs and troopers broke in the
doors of houses, suspected of being
the retreat of strikers, and wholesale
arrests were made. During the early
stages of the rioting women were con-
spicuous. Some of them were armed,
others effectively used clubs and
stones. These women, all foreigners,
insane with rage, were mainly respon.
sible for melting the men to extreme
measures.
Shortly before $3.50 o'clock at night
mob of men gathered about the
Schoenville entrance to the Pressed
Steel Car works and without warning
made concerted attack upon the big
swinging gates of the stockade. The
attack was resisted by state troopers
and deputy sheriffs who used riot
maces. In the melee Harry Exler, a
deputy sheriff, aged so, was shot and
instantly killed by bullet fred, it is
said, by an alleged strike sympathizer
In an effort to arrest the man picked
out of the crowd as the one who did
the shooting, State Trooper Smith
was instantly killed by a revolver bull
let. Two other troopers on foot were
also shot and killed, falling into the
arms of their comrades.
For the first time since the incep
tion of the strike the state troopers
then opened volley fire on the mob
Six strikers fell at the first round
Three of them are reported fatally
shot The members of the mob then
opened fire with rifles. Two mounted
troopers. dropped from their horses
fatally shot. They were taken to the
Ohio Valley hospital in a dying con
dition. AS an ambulance made its
way from the car plant to the hos
pital carrying wounded troopers the
vehicle was attacked and the driver
forced to flee for his life. The fright
ened team of horses attached to the
ambulance plunged wildly in and
about the crowd. Two men were
trampled under the horses hoofs.

EXECUTIONS NUMEROUS
1893 We're Put to Death in Russia
the Past Year.

One thousand and thirty eight per-
sons were condemned to death through
out European Russia during the first
nine monts of the present year and All
OF them were executed, according to
official figures made public today.
No attempt was made by the gov
eminent to- conceal the figures, but
such comment certainly would be OBJ
posed by the censor.
Were the concentrations only those
of ordinary criminals, the large num-
Der would suggest no more than con-
dition of extraordinary lawlessness
throughout the czar's domain.
The fact is, that capital punishment
is never inflicted IN Russia by the CT
vii courts and that even the most bru-
tai murderers escape with terms in
Siberia.

The Next Attraction.

So famous has already become
"Little Johnny Jones'', George M.
Cohan's music melodrama, that it
goes without saying that the interest
of our local theatre-goin public is at
a high pitch of expectancy over the
approaching engagement of this
notable attraction at the Turner
Theatre next Sunday evening.
No production of musical kind
was made last season that created such
a food of favorable criticisms.
Everybody spoke of Little Johnny
jones' as the most original, the most
thoroughly American, and the most
clever entertainment of the kind that
has been witnessed for many years,
and it has stamped George M. Cohan
as one of the most gifted authors and
composers who is now supplying the
stage with entertainment. The same
beautiful and stupendous production
that made Little Johnny Jones" one
of the notable attractions of last sea-
son will be seen in this city. The
scenery is spoken of as realistic and
beautiful and includes three full stage
sets ofenormous size and massiveness.
The wardrobe is also promised as
being very beautiful, while many con-
slider it the most extravagantly gowned
show in America. The cast includes
many we'll known names, while the
ensemble is considered the best in
America. The company numbers more
than fifty people and is one of the
largest and most expensive on tour
this season. For this production Mr..
Cohan has composed over twenty
musical numbers, and in the hands
OF one of the strongest singing orga-
nizations in America it is said to be
one of the most delightful features of
''Little Johnny jones', called by
many musical melodrama, inasmuch
as it depicts the adventures of an
American jockey who goes to England
to ride the races, and who falls the
victim of a plot and meets with all
kinds of narrowing experiences. Mr..
Cohan is said to have displayed much
originality in the development of his
story and has given to the stage
probably the most sensational features
ever witnessed in musical comedy.
For the proper presentation of the
play three massive and gorgeous
stage settings are necessary, which
for naturalness and realism are said
to equal any of the most pretentious
dramatic productions.

HUTCHINSON M. D. Besides being
pleasant to drink and wholesome SUBJ
stitute for alcoholic beverages, great
claims are made for buttermilk as an
aid to health. Buttermilk contains
large hosts of tactical bacilli. These
bacilli, while entirely harmless to the
human system, wage bitter warfare
upon the bacilli that are harmful to hui
manity. Wherever the tactical bacilli
meet he enemy that is common to them
and to mankind, there is a fight, and if
the friendly brcilli are plentiful enough,
they win. Their victory means death
to the harmful germs. Bacilli of dis
eases to which flesh is heir find lodg-
ment in the digestive tract, and breed
until they set up disease. The lacteai
baciIIi, found in buttermilk and also in
sour milk, throw down the gage of bat
tie and if given the chance will elimi-
nate the enemy. This is the theory,
and it has the backing Of science. One
of the greatest scientists in the world
ascribes the phenomenally long life of
the jewellers in certain European sec
tions to the fact that sour milk is a
staple Of their diet. From this has been
drawn, perhaps. hastily, the conclusion
that cultivation Of tactical bacilli fur
nishes the key to long life.

Timber Decay Costs Millions.

Millions of feet of timber and
finished lumber rot every year in rail-
road ties, bridges, trestles, piles, farm
buildings, fences, poles, and mine.
props. The lumber consuming pub.
lie of the United States pays perhaps
thirty to forty million dollars year
to make good the losses from wood
decay.
These great drains are a source of
more and more concern each year.
Chemists and engineers who have to,
do with the uses of wood are working
increasingly on the problem. The u.
S. Forest Service has men who devote.
their whole time to it. The Importance.
of the problem can not be overesti-
mated. Millions of dollars are annu--
ally saved by preservative treatment
of timbers, but much yet remains to-
be learned.
Wood decay is caused by fungus, a
vegetable growth sometimes so small
that it can be seen only with the mi
croscope. Its roots or branches, like
minute hairs, force their way into the
wood tissues and absorb or eat away
the solid parts. The collapse which
results is called decay. Timber is.
artifcially preserved by forcing into
its cells and pores certain substances
which prevent the growth of fungi.
AS long as this substance is present
in sufficient quantity, the germs of de-
cay the threads and spores of fungus
can not enter, and the wood is pre-
served. This often means doubling
and sometimes trebling the life of the
timber.
The United States government con-
siders the investiga tions of the preser-
vative treatment of timber OF such i'm
portance that the business of one office
OF the United States Forest Service,
that of Wood Preserv ation, with new
headquarters at Madison, Wis, is.
given over entirely to the work of ex-
periments in cooperation with rail-
road companies and other corpora
lions and individuals in prolonging
the life Of railroad ties, mine props,
bridge timbers, fence posts and trans-
mission poles.
The frightening of the life Of timber.
means the saving of thousands of dol-
lars annually through doing away
with the heavy expense of labor and
cost of material for renewals.
