There was a general strike among the printers in this city commencing this morning. The price heretofore paid is 20 cents for flay work and 2ft cents for night work. The price now asked Is 2% cents for day work and 30 rents for night work. .«»»,***••»» i«*

•DEATH'S LAKE."

The road went from the river bridge is a death trap. It is worth ones life to travel over it of a dark night.

It is dangerous even in the glare of midday. At night the? danger increases with he a a

Many accidents have occurred along this narrow passage to destruction. It has not been a yeAr since Dr. Link, in hurrying to the bedside of a patient, was thrown from the top of the grade twenty or thirty feet below, breaking his arm.

The Dr. got well. Nothing was said. The road was not fixed. Time passed on. Last week two ladies met their death at the same place. Death's sorrow entered, and at the same time drove joy and hap piness antl sunshine from two households. Where there was a few moments before, life, full of blooming youHi anil blossomiug Joy. there came and stooil withering death.

The whole community was pah* with horror. For years to come, when the grass grows green over their graves, the tears of friends and rotative* which fall upon the vines and flowers, trailing and blooming above them, will turn to curses upon those who are to blame.

In the ears of those who are at fault, the broken sobs of sorrow and grief of husband, mother, father, friends and relatives should ring forever.

Two deaths at the same timo Is certainly sufficient notice of the condition of this road. It is ft shame and disgrace to ho country.

It criminal neglect. Some one is at fault. That fault, has ripened into murder. It must be fixed. It must be widened and fenced. It will never be safe until this is done. The NKWH will never cease calling attention to it until it made safe. At present it i* the road to broken limbs and mangled bodies. It is the mad to eternity. It is deaths lane.

THAT ROAD.

Por years the National mad west of the river bridge has l»een unsafe for travel. The trouble Is that the grade is entirely too

narrow.

It Is some twenty or thirty

feet high and not much more than half so wide on top. With a little expense ft fence could be erected ou each side which would lesson the dange. If it cannot 1M? fenced as to prevent danger, then it should IK* made twin* as wide as It »s There is now scarcely room for heavily loaded wagons to pass each other. Of dark night* a passage over St Is always attended with danger "The truth of this assertion is well attested by the terrible accident which occurred only last week. Other and sertous accidents have occurred frequently along its line. It is the duty of Mime one to have it put in a safe condition. The County Commissioners should attend to this* and without delay, for the county is legally liable in action for every cent of damage that is sustained by reason of Its present unsafe condition. It will, we apprehend, be cheaper for the county to take hold of this matter and put thb* road in good and «afc condition than to have an indefinite numtxT of law suits brought against U,

"In some things women are silly tand ridiculous!" Here John Harding laid down the magazine article he had leea readiug and which had for its theme the appareutly inexhaustible one—the follies and shortcomings of the sex to which h€ had alludedV

Mrs. Harding glanced from the bow nhe was fashioning to the solemn face of the speaker. "In tome things? That is encouraging surely I've kuown sudi quantities of men that were silly and ridiculous in sc many. What is it now, I wonder?"

Loftily oblivious to the quiet sarcasm in these words, Mr. Harding continued: "Just look at the way they dress, foi instance." "Oh of common

"No matter who it was written by it is sound sense, every word of it-." I wish you would %tudy that article, Mary it would do you an immense doal of good. I don't mean to say that you haven't sense in a good many things, which surprises me nil tho more that you should show so little in the way you dress."

Mrs. Harding's red cheeks grew still redder. "John Harding!" "There, now, Mary, don't fly into a passion because I tell you the truth, all for your own good. Just look nt tJie trimming on the skirt of your dress, for instance according to all artistic rules, the line shopld be unbroken, from waist to feet, and here it is cut up and destroyed in half-a-dozen places?"
