No GREAT CHANGE
IN STEEL STRIKE
BOTH SIDES SEEM TO HAVE
MARKED TINE.
Officials Continue to Announce Op-
Grafton of Plants While Union
Men Discount Production.

Pittsburgh, Oct. Conditions in
the steel workers strike in the Pitts
burgh district were without marked
change today. No additional plants
were reported to have started up and
the strikers did not announce any ma
terial additions to their ranks. The
works that resumed yesterday in the
Donora-Monessen field after an idle
ness of two weeks, were reported as
having continued operations today
while strike headquarters received
word from organizers that some men
are in the various works, but there is
little if any productions.
All the big plants of the Carnegie
Steel company in this district, which
the strikers failed to shut down when
the walkout began, are continuing
to operate. The company reports that
men are slowly but steadily reporting
for their old jobs.
The executive council of the fedora
ton of labor met behind closed doors
to discuss the strike situation. Com
plants against the state police and
deputy sheriffs are under discussion,
it was said.
The meeting gave rise to report
that the council might consider the
question of a general strike. When
asked as to the possibility Of the strik
spreading beyond the steeel industry
w. B. Rubin, counsel for the steel
workers, said that unless the law
lessness of the state police and other
authorities stops and the workers get
justice, Pittsburgh will probably see
one of the greatest strikes in its his
tory"
Chicago, Oct. 7-Quiet prevailed to-
day throughout the Indiana zone of
the Chicago steel strike district with
federal and state troops in control of
the situation.

An effort by several hundred SYM
pathizers to hold a meeting in one Of

was broken UP by troops without vio-
lence or arrests. The crowd scattered
upon being warned by officers in
command of the troops.
Several arrests were made during
the day on charges Of carrying con-

Washington, Oct. 6-President
Wilson continued his progress toward
recovery today, his physicians report

There was no indication that the
President would be permitted to re-
sumo duties of his office at any time
soon, although it was said he might
be able to give attention to some Of
ficial matters later>in the week.
At cabinet meeting at the White
House, over which Secretary Lansing
presided, DR.. Grayson advised that
one but the most pressing business be
referred to the President. Afterward
Secretary Tumulty announced that a
session around the cabinet table had
revealed little in various departments
that required immediate attention,
Among the many messages of sym
pathy which kept the White House
wires busy during the day was one
from Pope Benedict saying he prayed
for the Presidents speedy recovery.

DO YOU BELIEVE IN DREAMS?
Dillon May Says He is Convinced
That Dreams Come True.

One of the easiest ways in the
world to break up gathering, wheth.
er on the streets or in the drawing
room, is to begin to tell of sorae-
thing-you dreamed "a few nights
since" AS a rule people do not like
to hear other peoples dreams. They
do not attach much importance to
them. But there is a Dillon man who
is convinced that there is something
in dreams. He thinks the spirit comes
to one at night in the form Of a
dream. 1t came about in this way:
Mr.. Tarlton, electrician at the light
plant, had been having trouble With
one of the engines. He could not 10
cate the trouble, although he and
other expert machinist worked over
the engine day and night. 1t was
getting on his nerves, so to speak,
and he was at his rows end, when
a few nights ago, he dreamed that
he walked into the engine room and
placed his hand On the very spot that
had been giving him trouble. He
awoke at once and the dream was SO
vivid he could not get it out Of his
mind. He got up and looked at his
watch; it was 2 o'clock in the morn
ing. He tried to dismiss the matter
from his mind, but it clung to him
and he could not go back to sleep.
Getting up he slipped on his clothes
and went down to the power house.
He walked up to the engine, took
a wrench and made a few turns on
the bolt that he had dreamed was
the seat of the trouble and the en-
gine began to behave beautifully
The knock" that had been giving
trouble for several days disappeared
and he says the engine began to run
like new. At last accounts the engine
was still running like creased light
ning'' and Mr.. Tarlton says his trou-
bles are over. Do you believe in
dreams?

LANDS GRANTED BY
 WASHINGTON APPLIED FOR

A right to enter on public land, handed down by President George Washington, figured in an application of 40 acres of public land in Arizona made to the United States land office in Phoenix last week by Claude N. Nichols as Intermediary assignee of William Gerard.
 It was set forth that right to take up section of public land was award ed Joseph Gerard and his heirs for patriotic service rendered by him in carrying a message from Fort Wash ington (Cincinnati, in 1792, to hostile Indians in what was then called north. west territory, and that congress, in an act passed in 1855, approved the ruling fin accordance with the spirit of the inducements authorized by President Washington to be held out to such persons as would consent to carry the messages"
 It was claimed that Gerard was killed in 1792 and that his heirs, Will liam Gerard, Rachael Blue and R. A. P. Gerard had benefited by the award though none of the land had been taken up in this state. The forty acres on which application was made are in Greenlee county.

THE PURITY OF NATURAL ICE

The common remark that natural ice is not so pure as the manufactured kind is somewhat of a fallacy. Prac- tically 99 per cent of all the impuri- ties are cast off by aature in the pro- cess of freezing. The remainder of the impurities that are included in the ice die in transportation. Some times, of course, even in a healthy flowing stream, Nature slips up and a germ does get locked up in an ice crystal, but. this is usually the finish of the troublesome germ, for though the cold does not often kill him, the fact that he cannot roam about and search for food brings on starvation. Some germs die quickly, others live a week, while laboratory tests show that the typhoid germ lives longest it's maximum limit of life while frozen in ice being placed at three months. Since natural ice is usually stored at least ninety days before it is shipped to market, the matter of it's purity need not be doubted. Many tests on natural ice have shown that it is far more pure than the city water of most communities.
