CLOUD, Sept. 17.—(Special.)— * dent Theodore Roosevelt has at least 7 one warm friend in St. Cloud, in the per son of Charles Bernick, deputy county treasurer. From 18S5 to 1891 Mr. Ber nick was employed on ranches mar Mo dora, N. a.)., and two years on the ranch owned by the now president. He hunted with him two seasons and had an oppor tunity to become thoroughly acquainted with President Roosevilt under far dif ferent circumstances than most people. in speaking of President Roosevelt, Mr. Bernick was loud in his praises of him, and told an amusing incident of the first time that the president came to his ranch for a round-up. It was In the spring of ISS« and Roosevelt told his foreman that' he had come out for the purpose of help ing in the round-up. He gave him notice ' that he was to be used the same as any of the cow-punchers and that he was to do the same work that they did. He wanted no favoritism shown because, he was the owner of the place. The fore man took him at his word and Roosevelt got up with the other men at 2 o'clock ii. the morning and rode twenty miles be fore sun up. He worked from that until •lark and then stood his two-hour watch during' the night when his turn came for such duty. By that act alone the presl-. dent made a friend of every man on the rancu and none of them has forgotten the. season spent with Roosevelt in the Pad Lands of North Dakota.

Eczema is caused by an acid humor in the blood coming in contact with the skin and producing great redness and in flammation ; little pustular eruptions form and discharge a thin, sticky fluid, which dries and scales off ; sometimes the skin is hard, dry and fissured. Eczema in any form is a tormenting, stubborn disease, and the itching and burning' at times are almost unbearable; the acid burning humor seems to ooze out and set the skin on fire. Salves, washes nor other exter nal applications do any real good, for as long as the poison remains in the blood it will keep the skin irritated. ?i77 _7 BAD FORM OF TETTER.

PLANTS OF THE STEEL TRUST ARE NOW NEARLY ALL RUNNING TIN PLATE WORKERS SORE Men ' I-:*!! ployed in Other Depart ments Are Generally ' Report ing fur Work »« Fast as Needed. PITTSBURG, Sept. 17.-After taking time to think it oyer President T. J. "Shaffer, of the Amalgamated association,, has announced that there will be no pub lic statement of the terms of the settle ment of the strike of. his organization with the United States Steel corporation. He has also decided to issue a circular giving the terms of the agreement on which the men were ordered to return to work and after all. the lodges have re ceived it, the circular will be made pub lic. Today the offices of the Amalgam mated association were more quiet and orderly-than they have been for some weeks. . -'7 r- -77';-77777:"' The majority of the strikers having re- j turned to work. The men who thus far have refused to do so ,were meeting their fellow workers and kept away from the organization. The general condition of the mills of the United States Steel corporation have improved during the past twenty-four hours in a wonderful manner. It was officially announced that nine of the twelve butt-weld furnaces and three of. the six lap-weld furnaces of the National Tube ' company in Me- Keesport were started today., The offi cials -of .the various plants have received applications for work from many more Of the strikers and are preparing to make a general start on Wednesday. Tne Con tinental, Elba- and Pennsylvania work's of the Tube company, started today. The American Tin Plate company reported that all of its active plants except those in Atlantic, Ind.. Joliet, 111., Johnstown, Pa., and Canal Dover have been placed I In operation. The last named will start - as soon as sufficient tin bars can be se cured to supply the needs of the plants. \ In addition to these four mills of the I Star plant and four mills of the Monon gahela plant are running, as well as eight mills on the Demmler plant and all of the Monessen plant. The Laughlin plant in Martins Ferity, with twenty three mills capacity, will be started with, ten mills tomorrow. The Newcastle and Shenango plants with an aggregate ' ca pacity of fifty mills started today with full crews. Both of the Kensington plants will be started tomorrow... The American Sheet Steel company to day started up its union plants as fol lows: The Aetna Standard plant, Mingo Junction, Cambridge," Ohio; New Phila delphia, Ohio; Muncie, Ind.; Piquet, Ohio; Niles, Ohio, and the Dresden, Ohio, plant will be started tomorrow. The Canal Dover plant of this company is operating. The stiikers at the mills still idle have been ordered to apply as Individuals for work during the week. There will be.no effort made to start the Canton, Ohio, sheet mills until after this week, owing to the funeral of President McKinley. All of the hoop plants are running full. The Newcastle plant of the National Steel company started in full today. This was the first plant called out after the general strike order was issued. The Na tional Steel plants in Bellaire and Mingo Junction are the only plants of that company now idle. . The Riverside plant of the National Tube company is the only plant of that company that is wholly idle. The manufacturers are confident that the strike among the men is practically cured for the present. A number of men have since their return admitted "that they went out against their will and their better judgment. The greatest trouble seems to be predicted in the plants of the American Tin Plate com pany that have been considered by Pres ident Shaffer as non-union. The men in those plants take their defeat very hard, and many had determined to remain idle or get other employment rather than go back unless their union is recognized. . \ It is probable that the Monongahela and Star mills and the Demmler mills in McKeesport will be the last to get started on full turns. All mills of the Carnegie Steel com pany and American Steel Hoop company, employing about 30,000 men, will be closed from 6 a. m. to 6 p. m. Thursday, the day of President McKinley's funeral. CONDITION OF THE CROPS. Weekly' Report of the Government Weather Bureau. WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.—The weather bureau, in its summary of crop condi tions for the week ended Sept. 18, says: Heavy rains have proved unfavorable in the Central and AA'est Gulf states, in portions of the Ohio valley and Tones see and in the upper Missouri valley, while crops have suffered from drought In the South Atlantic coast districts. East of the Rocky mountains the tem perature conditions have been favorable, except in the upper ■ Missouri valley, where it has been too cool, and frost** were of quite general occurrence, in some instances damaging, in the pleateu regions. Generally favorable conditions prevailed in the Pacific coast states. Cool, wet weather has checked the ma turing of corn in Nebraska and South Dakota, but in the central and eastern districts of the corn belt the crop is prac tically safe from frost, and cutting is well " advanced. Excessive rains in the central and western portions of the cot ton belt have caused serious injury to cotton ' and interfered with picking. Central and Eastern Texas and portions 'of Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi have received from two to ten inches of rain. Over the eastern half of the cot ton belt the rainfall has been moderate or very light, the coast districts receiv ing no appreciable amount, the staple has opened freely and picking has prog-' ressed rapidly. Reports of rust and shedding continue from the central and eastern districts. ! Except in Kentucky, where' heavy rains have interfered with the cutting of to bacco, this crop is largely secured, and the reports respecting it are generally favorable. All reports, excepting those from Kan sas, indicate an exceptionally light apple crop, and high winds of the past week have lessened the already unpromising prospects in Illinois and Indiana. In i Kansas an improvement in the condition of apples is reported. The abundant rains of the past week have put the soil in excellent condition for plowing and this work has been rap idly pushed, although retarded by exces sive moisture in some districts. .Consid erable seeding has been done, and early sowed wheat is coming nicely in Kan sas, Nebraska and Oklahoma.

In other days she has welcomed him with.cheers, with waving banners and triumphal arches. Tomorrow she will receive him in silence, with streets hung with solemn black, and with the wailing notes of dirges. All day long hundreds of men and women have labored in their task to arrange the decorations on the public buildings, on the fronts of commercial houses and over the windows and. por ticos of private residences. .At sunse tonight Canton was shrouded in black and so she will remain until the body of her best loved son has been committed to the vault in Westlawn cemetery. At frequent -intervals' during the day there have resounded from the pave ments the sound,of MARCHING FEET ! as a military or civic organization made its way into the city to be in readiness for the duties of tomorrow and of Thurs day. They are but the first wave of the human tide which is to come. From early morning until late in the evening there has been a constant procession of visitors moving along North Market street to the McKinley homea house easily distinguished from all others on the street in that it is the only on- not draped in black. There Is today no sign of mourning on the house, nor will there be until the 'dead president has been borne through its doorway on Wednes day night. Throughout the day the vis itors have stood in knots under the trees that line the walks in front or hung over the low iron fence talking low and in whispers, as if the illustrious d.a.l were already within its walls. . As far as lies within lis present power the local committees have completed their arrangements for the funeral.

Large detach ments of militia and police will! be pres ent to facilitate the handling and the movement of the crowds, and as the time allowed for the casket in the court house is considered none too long, every ■ effort will be made to expedite matters. The crowd will be formed in line, four abreast, at the south door of the court | •house, the line to extend Westward on West Tuscarawas street.

The casket will be placed in the re ceiving vault but before it is placed in side the casket will be rested upon sup ports standing upon the stone walk lead ing to the vault.

"Steady, men," said Gen. Randolph as they walked slowly out between the bronze doors with their precious burden.

Cowles, of the navy, accompanied him. MRS. M'KINLEY'S ARRIVAL. It was just before 8 o'clock when Mrs. McKinley was driven to the station. Fearing the tiring effect of the long walk from the carriage entrance to the car set apart for her next to the head of the train, a rolling chair had been provided for her. She declined this, however, and walked with surprising firmness to her place, assisted by Abner McKinley and Dr. Rixey. It was 8:10 o'clock when this section steamed away in the darkness, the first section having preceded it ten min utes. The observation car bearing the remains was flooded with light. Through its crystal sides could be seen the beau tifully draped casket with its mass of rare blossoms, so arranged that even as the train swept through the night the people in the country it passed through might gaze on the sight of the casket, with a soldier .standing grimly at the head and a sailor, carry his cutlass upon his shoulder, at the foot. A guard of soldiers and sailors occupied the plat forms and between them at the rear was a mammoth wreath, six feet in diameter, of rare orchids and laurels. Ten minutes later the third section of the train bearing the army and navy offi cers sped away and the national capital had performed its part in the funeral ceremonies. SOLDIER AND SAILOR GUARDING THE BODY Crowds Throng the Railway Sta ,7". tions to Catch a Last Glimpse of the Casket. ON BOARD THE FUNERAL TRAIN. Sept. 17.—Leaving Washington the long winding train bearing the remains of the martyred president plunged out into the dark night and hurried like a black streak on its mournful journey. - The curtains of the train were drawn as it pulled out of the station save only tor the - observation car in which the-corpse lay guarded by a soldier and sailor of the re public. That car alone was flooded with : light. The countless thousands extend ing from the station far out into the sub urbs of the national capital waiting patiently there in the drenching rain to pay their last farewell, had an oppor tunity to catch a last fleeting glimpse of the flag-covered casket as the train sped by. Several thousand people on the bridge over the the eastern branch of the Potomac straining for a last look, could be seen by the light strung along the bridge as the train moved under it. The funeral train was divided into three sections running ten minutes apart. A se&tion containing the Cuban committee and a number of officials of the govern ment preceded the funeral train proper, and: this in turn was preceded fifteen minutes by a pilot engine. The last Sec tion contained the guard of honor, headed by Maj. Gen. Brooke and Admiral Dewey. After clearing Washington all was dark ness. The train seemed to be running, through a tunnel so black was the night. Now and then the faces of a little mourn ful group," bareheaded at the side ot the track, could be seen by the light Incidentally In the City tnCnrfd.

"TO SAVE TIME IS TO LENGTHEN LIFE/* DO YOU VALUE LIFE? TMEN USE SAPOLIO 3 from the death chamber as the train flashed by and as the little villages be tween AVashington and Baltimore were passed the sound of tolling bells came faintly to the heavy hearted mourners aboard. As the train came out of the long tun nels leading to Baltimore, before reaching Union Station, thousands of silent forms could be seen and the dismal toiling of the bells could be heard. A clear drawn bogle call sounded a requiem. At Union station crowds packed the station. Hun dreds of people had gained access to the train shed and they gazed sorrowfully at the* casket while the locomotives were being shifted. The train which had ar rived at 9:34 p. m. pulled out for the west a few minutes later. Passing out of the station at Baltimore the track- was lined with people. Labor ers and handsomely dressed women stood side by side. Once or twice a quick flare from a photographer's flash light ex posed the whole train to view. At Park ton, just before the Maryland line was reached, a brief stop was made to at tach an extra engine to help the heavy .train up the grade at this point. Then for miles the train ran through the Dutch settlements of Pennsylvania. It was now after 10 o'clock, but many Dunkards and men uncovered, the wom en, in their quaint bonnets, were at the track. Others of these simple folk could be seen in the open doorways of then lighted farm houses. The Dunkards go to bed early usually, but it was appar ent that most of them had remained . awake to get a last look at this mournful funeral train. The lighted death cham ber in the rear car must have been an impressive spectacle; the bier in full view, the soldier, with bayenetted gun at salute, and the Jack Tar, with drawn cutlass, guarding the body. The twink ling of the light from that car was probably seen for miles through the darkness. York, Pa., was reached at 11:30 p. m. Ten thousand people were at the station.and along the track lead ing to it. The bells tolled dolefully as the* train passed. :"-,": The train slowed up, but did not stop at York, where the entire population seemed to have waited far into the night to see it pass. The dolorous tolling of the bells could be distinctly heard by those on board. Soon after leaving York all had retired aboard the trains and they sped along in the darkness. It was raining steadily, but neither rain nor the lateness of the hour kept the mourning people from being at the track to pay their final tribute of honor and respect to the departed president. Harrisburg was not reached until after -the midnight hour, but the crowd was enormous and the scene impressive. The train stopped several minutes while crews and engines were changed, and the multitude had an excellent oppor tunity to see the guarded casket, reveal ed as by a flood of day In the brilliantly lighted car. NEW RUSSIAN BATTLESHIP. Successful Builder's Trial Trip of the Retvizan. PHILADELPHIA. Sept.
