Trust Driven To. Gas City
No Christmas Snow Balls
Good News From New Castle

The Steel Trust, with all it's boast
Fling of normal" production, strike
is over" etc. - which announcements
have been faithfully presented to the
public daily by the newspapers, HAS
BEEN DRIVEN TO START THE
GAS CITY PLANT.
T Now this does not sound as, badly
as it really means. To understand to
just what point the trust has been
driven by the strike, it must be
known that the Gas City plant is
the HIGHEST OPERATING COST
plant owned by the Trust. The mode
Of production there is SO ancient and
out-of-date, that the plant has worked
BUT ONE MONTH IN FOBR> YEARS
This is conclusive proof that the pro-
duction there, even at non-tfnion
wages and under non-union condi-
tions; was SO much greater than
higher wages and union conditions
in other plants, that during all the
time the other plants have been given
the preference and the Gas City plant
kept idle.
The attempt to operate the Gas
City plant cannot but be considered
in the light of a victory for the strik-
ing mill men.
I, CHRISTMAS DINNERS.
The. strikers did not have Snow
balls for Christmas. Everywhere
they had good old fashioned Christ
mas dinner! In Martins Ferry the
boys rugged up Christmas tree"
decorating it with tin cans and SINH
lar refuse, and labeled it presented
BY the Trust. In Sharon and Ches-
ter, mass Christmas dinners were
enjoyed, and the following report
from the Elweod Call-Leader shows
the kind of spread INDUCED in at
Elwood.
What was probably one of the larg-
est and most elaborate dinners given
in the city for a number of years,
was served by the local strikers at
the Eagles hall on West Main street
Saturday evening. 1t is stated that
nearly two thousand persons were
fed, including the children, and that
after all was over there was enough
food left to keep fifty families with
a goodly store~of edibles for several
weeks Women and men were seen
going to the large hall all day carry
ing baskets of turkey, goose, duck
and chicken and many different kinds
of cake. Al table fifteen feet long
was piled with good things to eat to
a height Of three feet from its sur
face, and other tables were heaped
with cake.
Over four Kundred children were
fed. after which the three local five
cent theatres gave free show for
them at six O'Clock each play house
taking one-third/of the young citi-
zens. After xhe, children had been
served the older people had their
chance, and they soon disposed of
large amount of Christmas turkey
and cake. Several prominent bust
ness men were in attendance. H. F.
Weilkie delivered a short address
WHICH was enjoyed by all. !
Great preparations had been made
by the strikers. for @the event, and
they feel. that all their efforts we're
met with success. 1t was large at
fair, and the management was COM
PEELED to serve the dinner on large
scale. In order to keep up with the
people at the tables, the women were
forced to pile large quantities of cake
on trays in order to serve alldin a
satisfactory manner.
Taking it as whole, the affair was
an. immense success and the strikers
are to be congratulated.

Baptsts Stand
For Union Labor

The Illinois Baptist State Conven
ton, which was in session at Gales
burg last week. placed its lf ssuarell
on record as favoring all the worthy

work. The platfor madopted by the
convention is as follows:

kE1cHELL WHIPPED PAPkE
The Michigan Kid Conquered His
Former Rival, Being Given the
Decision in Twenty Rounds.

San Francisco, Cal, July 6@Stan-
ley Ketchel Of Michigan is still the
worlds middle weight champion. In
a desperate, gruelling battle, during
which the champion was constantly
on the aggressive, h, was awarded the
decision over Billy Papke of Illinois,
at the end of the twentieth round, the
scheduled number. Ketchel broke his
left thumb also was d~islocated. Ref
cree Roche gave the decision to
Ketchel on his aggressive work and
the fact that he landed oftener and
cleaner. Ketchel forced the fighting
from the tap o fthe initial gong, and
with the exception of the third en-
joyed a clean lead in the first half Of
the battle. In the eleventh Ketchel
landed time and again with ponder
GUS lefts and try as as he would he
could not find a vital place. Both men
were bleeding freely at this stage of
the battle.
Papke in particular was spouting
| blood from his mouth and nose until
the center of the ring resembled a
SHAMELESS.
The feature Of the fight was the ex-
IRENE viciousness with which both
men fought and the apparent hatred
that lurked behind every punch.

Regiments Goes to Philippines.

Spokane, WASH, July 7.-Lieuten-
ant Colonel Lea Febiger, command
ant at Fl. George Wright, three miles
west of Spokane, has received advices
from the war department that the en-
tire Third regiment infantry will be
dispatched to Tarang, on the island
of Mindanao in the Philippines, and,
as a consequence, there is much re-
joicing among the officers and men,
who We're first advised they would be
stationed for a. period of service OF a
desolate island in the Pacific. The
date for breaking camp at this post
has not yet been announced, but it is
expected to be some time in July,
when the people of Spokane will en-
terrain the soldiers at a farewell re-
ception and dance. The regiment is
the Oldest in the service. 1t was or
ganized in 1893 and was at one time
commanded by Mad Anthony
Wayne. 1t has see service in every
war since its organization and has
figured in putting down Indian upris-

The Pastor Gets Active.

.|r
Camas, Wash, July REV. M. X.
Huston, pastor of First Methodist
church, has made formal application
to the council, asking for the appoints
ment of town marshal, so that he can
enforce the Sunday closing laws
against saloons and stop several 9TH
er eyasions of the law. He promises to
obtain convictions of the violators if
clothed with police authority. The
application Will be considered at the
July meeting of the councilmen and it
is expected there will be a battle,
since it is reported that a few of the
town fathers do not look with favor
upon the PASTORS petition. The sa-
loonists declare in terms more em-
phatic than polite that the minister
is eligible for membership in the But
tinski and the Ananias clubs and they
are willing to prove 1T by presenting
their case to five or seven disinterest-
ed men. Mr.. Huston says he is ready
to enforce the law and take chances
as to the consequences.

Making Ice Cream in Tin Box

This is the true story of an ingen-
ious young matron who had to be eco
nomiaal in her housekeeping, but
whose pride was in her dainty table
and excellent meals. She had mas
tered almost everything in the way
of sensible economies. but confessed
that she still had to learn how to
make deserts which would look
sumptuous, but would be cheap. At
last she hit on a plan.
She had a half gallon tin pail and
a little round tin box in which marsh
mallows are sold. She saved half of
the cream from the mornings quart
of milk, for two days, leaving it, of
course, in the icebox where it would
not sour. Then with a common egg
beater she whipped this until it rose
to nearly a pint of delicious foamy
stuff, ready to be made into any
thing good.
After the whipped cream was
sweetened it was tiavored-some-
times with a banana pounded into
pulp and sweetened to taste-some-
times with a dozen strawberries left
from breakfast-sometimes with
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. with a heap
ing teaspoonful of chopped and
mashed canned peach. The cream
and the fruit We're all beaten togeth-
err and then acked into the round tin
box, which had first been lined with
parafin paper. The cover was put
on tight.
Then the little til pail was lined
with newspaper and a big double
handful of crushed ice and salt put
in it. On this the little tin box was
placed, and more crushed ice and salt
packed around and above, and 9
layer of newspaper on top, and ther

LET The BRAKEMAN GO
Jesse Hendricks Was Released After
an Examination on charge Of
Numbering His wife.

1t will be remembered that jesse
Hendricks a brakeman on the Mil
waukee road, between Running Water
and Marion, was arrested charged
with the murder Of his wife on May
80. On that date Mrs. Hendricks
committed suicide after some trouble
with her husband about playing bali
on Sunday. There was nobody pre-
sent but Hendricks when the wife.
killed herself and shortly afterward
rumors were started that there was
strong possibility that Hendricks had
a hand in his wife's death. The tafk
continued for three weeks after the
death Of the woman and finally a war
rant vas isseud for the arrest Of Hem
bricks. A month or six weeks after
the suicide he was arrested one morn
ing on passing through Tyndall, and
his examination was held the latter
part of last week.
When the testimony commenced to
come in the greatest share of 1t was
merely hearsay and no evidence could
be produced to substantiate the the
DRY that Hendricks killed his wife
Twenty witnesses were examined.
and the undertaken who prepared the
body of Mrs. Hendricks stated that
there was not the slightest founda-;
ton for the murder theory, ass ~
the surrounding circumstances wera-
against that idea. Mr.. Hendricks was
dismissed.
The states attorney was forced to
make the arrest Of Hendricks. I'M
mediately after the suicide he made
some Investigations and reached the
conclusion that there was nothing In
the affair which could be attached
to Hendricks. Finally a petition WA
circulated at Running Water urging
the states attorney to arrest the hus-
band, and on that petition alone he
was forced to issue the warrant.
