There are plenty of wild geese and prairie

pretty lively. The cattle have also to be
protected from thieves, and to this end
each cowboy carries revolver. Almost

Eloped with the Other Man.

MITCHELL, Oak, June 21.-A high
ly sensational elopement has broken
up Mitchell society, The principal
character is Miss Nettie Barnard who
came to this place from Manchester,
Iowa, in the spring Of 1882. She was
a charming young woman and q tai
ented vocalist. Among her suitors in
this place was prominent young
lawyer, whose affections were appre-
ciated and an engagement resulted.
The intended husband built an ele-
CANT residence and furnished it
throughout to the lady's liking The
day was named and arrangements
made for an elaborate wedding The
tickle songstress was playing double
game and on the eve of the marrige
fled to the Green Mountains Of Yer
mont with Mark Ward, of Kimball, a
member of the last Dakota Legisla-
ture. The elopement was arranged
with the knowledge and consent Of
the young lady's parents, who seemed
to have preferred legislator to a
plain lawyer for son-in-law.

A Bright Outlook at Pittsburg.

PITTsBURG, June 21.--It is predict
ed that before the end of present
week every large iron mill in this dis
trict will be in operation. On Satur-
day twenty-five, or more than one
half the mills i'll the two divisions OF
the Pitsburg district, were in opera
ton. Five more will be running to-
morrow and three more on Tuesday.
while those remaining will follow In
rapid succession. Some of the mills
are rushed with orders, especially
those engaged in the manufacture OF
structural iron. Tie iron trouble in
Pittsburg is regarded as virtually set
tied and the Amalgamated officials
are now turning their attention to the
less fortunate members in the West.
A secret meeting was held at Wheel
ing last night, but with what resulst
is not known. The officials and
friends Of the Amalgamated Associa-
ton are confident that the Western
firms will soon sign the scale and
wheel into line.

The New Postage Lnw.

WASHINGTON, June 22.-On the first
day OF July next the change in the
rate OF letter postage authorized by
the appropriation bill of the last con-
gress will go into operation.
The effect OF this law will be to in
crease the standard weigh OF domes-
tic tirst-class matter from half an
an ounce That is to say, on and af-
ter the first of July, all domestic first
class matter sent through the mails,
including drop letters at carrier of
fees, must be charged with postage
at the rate of two cents per ouncce or
fraction thereof, instead of two cents
per half ounce or fraction thereof, as
at present. Drop letters, ut other
than letter carrier Offices, to be charg-
ed at the rate of one cent per ounce or
fraction. This change in the stand
ard OF weight will also apply to first
class matter addressed to Canada, but
not to matter addressed to other coun-
tries The same law also reduces the
rate OF postage from two cents per
pound to one cent per pound on all
publications of second-class newspa-
pers and periodicals when sent by
publishers and from the Offices of pub
lication, including sample copies, Oh
when sent from news agencies to act
ual subscribers thereto or other news
agents. Private individuals mailing
such matter pay at the rate OF one
cent for four ounces. The revenue
derived from postage ON newspapers
and periodicals last year was nearly
two million dollars, and this reduction
will, it is thought, cause decrease il
the recespts Of $950,OOO. The increas,
in weight of frst-class matter will no
reduce the revenue.

Male Vanity.

1t was at a ball, and the subject un-
der discussion was vanity. A lady
maintained that men were also given
somewhat to vanity.
"The men are ten times more vain
than the ladies'" she remarked
That's impossible" said several
gentlemen.
The subject changed, and few
minutes later the lady remarked:
"The handsomest man in the room

We Don't Want the Dolphin.

The Dolphin is one of the best boats
in the world to tie up to the wharf
for repairs If she had been made for
that special purpose she could not
have fulfilled her mission better. 1t
is indeed sad, as has been suggested
by some Of the republicans, to intro
duce politics into affairs of this kind,
but it must be admitted that they are
practical politics"
Mr.. Roach is to be blamed only so
far as he is responsible. But how far
that responsibility goes is yet to be
determined. It is evident that the
part of the vessel over which he had
entire control is faulty to degree.
Wherever bad or careless workman
ship is found there Mr.. Roach will be
and should be held to a strict account
ability. For such things no excuse is
possible. The contract called for first
class work, and if that kind of work
has not been done Mr.. Roach must,
tell the reason why.
But how about the advisory Board?
What have they done or failed to do?
There are blunders and stupidities
from stem IN storm in fhn Df1,bin
Who committed them or allowed
them to be committed? These are

asked for by large number of good

war record. He entered the army as
a private and worked himself up by
his own exertions to the rank of gen.
eral. Another reason urged was that
he was in very necessitous condi-
ton. Although he is rather old, he is
