'The quality of kerosene oil which hrfs been sold to the long suffering people of this community for the past month or six weeks is an cut- rage pure and simple. People who pay the'r good money for what, tiny are told is kerosene oil find it one half or two-thirds water or some thing ether than oil. This writer has had enough trouble with the stuff to make him chary of form-, ing any New Year's resolutions about evil speaking. We do not intend by th ;se remarks to reflect on the merchants. It is not their fault if the oil is bad but the concern that sells such stuff should be hounded from the State." The aboye was clipped from the Statesville Landmark. We are troubled with the same existing evil in our little city, having heard much complaint about the bad oil. See to it, merchants. Dead Against Dancing:. Pana, 111., Jan. 3. Rev.

"One of the funniest experiences I remember of my boyhood times was that of a couple in a neighbors hood who ran away and got mari r.ed," said Newt Moore at the Union depot last evening. After the bridal tour was over the couple went to the jouug lady's home to make pece with the old folks. The young lady'i father met them at the door, and, taking his daughter by the arm thrush ber in to a room and locked her np, and gathering up the shot gun ordered his eon-in-law off the place and threatened his life if he ever returns ed. The you og man went home and sat down and did some hard think ing. Finally he sent word to the young lady's mother to come and get ner daughtei's clothes and every thing that belongtd to her. She did bo, and the young man held his mather-inlaw as a prisoner and hostage for the return of hi3 wife. He, too, took a shot gun end stood guard. The second day after the father of the young lady came oyer to negotiate a surrender of prisoners. As soon as he came in sight he waved his white handkerchief in token or a truce. The result was a mutual exchange of prisoners. The youns: man made such a good impression upon his mothen in-la during htr captivity that all differences were patched np and the hatchet was buried."

TROUBLE AT HOMESTEAD. But it is Believed That the Striker Will Resume Work To-Day HomeBread, Pa , Jan. '6 - -The trouble last night at the Homestend steel works of th i Carnegie Company was cauied more particularly on ac count of a number of Hud ariann having been assigned to that depart ment than it was by the reduced wage scale. The .repular crew in the 11 inch mill refused to work at the Hungarians and quit. The fact remains, however, that one of tbe men was able to earn bnt 60 cents, another 72 cents for their day' work. This was because the mill was not worked to its capacity and not on account of fault in the wage scale. This morning the 150 men comprising the day crew in 18 inch also quit work. Superintendent Schwab met the strikers, and after guaranteeing cer tain wages for the rest of the week, whether or not the mill was worked to its capacity, the men returned to work. It is understood that the same proposition was submitted to the men who quit work last bight and that all probability they will go to work tonight. There are no indications that the trouble will involve other departments of the plant. MAD WITH THE WFATHE CUREAU. Florida Orange Growers Complain That They Were Kot Warned or the Freeze.
