'Prepa'ations Going Foiward Foren-
Attack on Domokos.
MOSLEMS‘ CONCENTRATING.
A Turkish Fortress In Epirus Captured by
the Greek Troops—Sultan Is Appar- .
ently In No Great Hurry to
Grant an Armistice.
Athens, May 15.-——Advices received to-
day from the headquarters of the Greek
army at.Domokos announce that the
Turkish forces are executing move-
ments which are believed to foreshad-
ow an attack upon the Greek position.
It is reported that the Turkish left
wing has evacuated Almyros and is
moving toward Pharsalos, to the right
rear of that place, and is is further
stated that General Smolentz, com-
manding the Greek right wing, has re-
occupied Almyros and has restored tel-
egraphic communication with the Greek
headquarters. Unless
movement of the Turks is the result of
the action of the powers it is believed
to indicate that the Turkish command-
er in chief, Edhem Pasha, is again con-
centrating his troops preparatory to
making a general attack upon the main
Greek stronghold.
Turks Occupy Villages.
Constantinople, May 15.—Official dis-
patches received here from Larissa,
dated yesterday, say that the Turkish
divisions which are marching upon Do-
mokos, the Greek headquarters, have
occupied the villages of Hadjiomar,
Bekriler, Karalar, runar and Vardali. .
Vardali is only about 51/2 miles north of
Domokos, and Bekriler is situated
about 7% miles north of Domokos and
a little to the westward of Vardali. The
Turkish forces should be before Domo-
kos today. ‘
Eleven Greek sailing vessels which,
with their crews, have been captured
by Turkish war vessels have been
hireughtinto the Dardanelles.
Turkish Occupation of Thessaly.
St. Petersburg, May 15.—It was semi-
officially announced today that in well
informed Russian‘quarters, evidently
meaning the foreign office here, the be-
lief prevails that it will be difficult, if
not impossible, to prevent the forces of
the sultan of Turkey from continuing
the occupation of Thessaly after peace
between Turkey and Greece is con-
eluded. This is an intimation, though
possibly only intended as a test of
apinion, that Russia may not be 0p-
posed to the permanent administration,
if not annexation, of Thessaly to the
Turkish empire.
T? . ._.__.__
Greeks Take Nicopolis.
Paris, May 15.—A dispatch from Ath-
ens announces that the Greeks have
captured Nicopolis, the site of the
Turkish fortress on the peninsula upon
which Prevesa is situated. Eighty
Turks were killed in the engagement.
The Greek troops have reoccupied _Su-
lflra, Without opposition.
"" Sultan In No Hurry.
Constantinople, May 15.—The Turkish
government, in its reply to the note of
the embassadors of the powers offering
mediation between Turkey and Greece,
says the sultan will be in a position to
discuss mediation after the great Bai-
ram festival, which began yesterday
and ends Sunday night.

curred belong to J. Craig McLanahan.

injured and returned this morning.

NoRWALK SPEAKS.
And in No Uncertain Tone—People
Mean What They Say.
A great work is going on in Norwalk.
Quietly, steadily and successfully a
powerful force is exerting itself for the
good of the people.
When it is was announced that the
great medicine, .-. California Catarrh
Cure, which is, without question, the
,_ greatest remedy for catarrhal trouble
ever compounded, was to be offered to
Norwalk, the number of people who
turned out and admitted themselves.
victims of this obstinate and hitherto
incurable disease, was astonishing.
They came in scores, and unhesitating-
ly announced that they suffered, and
had for years hopelessly suffered, from
hawking, hemmiug, bad breath, slime
in the throat, dropping of ofi'ensive
matter into the throat, headaches, gag-
ging, choking, nausea, stuffed feeling,
and increasing deafness. They had
catarrh in every form, from acute at-
tacks that can be cured in a week, to
the worst cases of chronic catarrh, the
most persistent disease in the world,
that yields to, nothing but California.
Catarrh Cure. ~
Already its wonderful cures are be-
ing talked of in N orwalk.
One of the people who. got a bottle of
CalifOI'nia Catarrh Cure at R. H. Plais-
ted’s on that memorable 18th of Decemif
ber, was Mr. D. C. Craft, 11 East ave-
nue, East N orwalk. He had long been
troubled with a very annoying form of
catarrh; he tried the great medicine,
and we have the result in his own
words. He says; “I find that Cali-
fornia Catarrh Cure has relieved me
very much. It keeps my head and
throat much clearer than they have
been for a long time, and the relief is
wonderful. Anyone suifering from ca-
tarrh in any form will surely find it an
excellent remedy. It relieves at once,
and I believe the result is permanent.”
California Catarrh Cure is sold by all
dealers for 500., three times as much
for onerdollar. . In case of hay fever
California Catarrh Cure gives immedi-
aterelief, and if used in season it will
entirely prevent the malady.
A WHOPPER OF A WHEEL.
'Twould Take Seven Men Standing on One
Anotlicr’s Head to Reach its 7013.
The largest flywheel in this country
used for mechanical purposes is forty
pounds. It would take seven men of
average height standing on each oth-
er‘s heads to reach the top of the
wheel. Four hundred horse-power is
required to move this monster. When
the full power is on, a point upon the
circumference of the wheel travels at
the rate of five and one-third miles
every minute.
The wheel in question is a part of
the enormous plant of the Ohio ,Steel
Company, at Youngstown, in the Buck-
eye State, and was built by ‘William
Todd & 00., of the same place. It is
of; cast iron, the rim being three-inch
thick plates bolted together. The en-
gine driving this wheel has a cylinder
measuring forty-six inches in diameter
and sixty inches in length.
This engine is one of three used to
generate the power required to mill
the steel. The other two have fly
.wlieels weighing only 144,000 pounds
each. In addition there are a number
of smaller engines, the total horse-
power of which aggregates the respect-
able total of 3,200.
The Ohio Steel Company's works are
considered the largest and most com-
plete in this country, and cost $5.000,-
000 to construct. The money needed
the late Governor Todd, of Ohio, and
by other Ohio-an capitalists, including
Senator Mark Hanna.
The output of the plant is about 2,-
000 tons of steel rails and billets a day.
It requires 200 tons of coke, 200 tons
of coal, 50 tons of limestone and about
2,000 tons of pig iron every twenty-
four hours. ~
there,’the payroll being about $75,000
a month. Most of the men live in cot-
tages near or on the work grounds.
One of the most lute-resting features
is the automatic coal feeder. By means
of this no stokers are needed, the coal
being brought to the furnaces and fed
regularly by machinery. In this way
one man can attend to all the twenty
b0ilers.4New York Journal.
Woollv Hair No More. .1-
It IS now the fashion among Afro-
American belles to have the kiukiucss
in their hair ironed out. This ‘pecu-
liar mark of their race is a thing of
which they are no longer proud.
St. Louis boasts at least two experts
in the art of straightening colored hair.
,They charge high prices and do a
flourishing business. Among their
wealthy customers are the wives and
daughters of Pullman car porters. It
is a weary process, and results are
slow in coming.
