PRINCE OSCAR Value, VI all the 70.
mantle marriages that have occurred in
royal circles throughout Europe for the last
half century, none have excited as much
interest as this. Miss Munck was of
noble birth, but poor and an orphan,
and noted for her beauty. grace and charm
Ing manner She was the flvorite among
the maids Of honor of the Crown Princess
OF Sweden. Several years ago Prince o.
Car, who had just returned from a two
years trip around tho world met and
loved Miss Munck. His affection was re-
turned by tho lady, but the brave girl re-
fused to marry him, and it was not until
the Prince was in the position to tell her
that the Queen had been moved to give her
consent that she finally yielded. Still the
Kings sanction had to be obtained before
the IN rriage )uld be solemnized, and the
will OF the King was not SO easily moved as
that Of the Queen.
Long and vanly did Prince Oscar urge
that as his rother, the Crown Prince, al
ready had two sons his own chances of
ever asc ending the throne were practically
nil, and that. therefore, he ought to be al
lowed to abandon the privilege of royalty
and become private citizen. It was not
until the Queen and her court influence had
been brought into family circles that his
M. jesty gave his consent and yielded to the
mesalliance
The betrothal took place in the royal pal
ace at Stockholm on January 20 After the

STRIKE ON THE SANTA FE.

The Engineers and Firemen Suddenly
Grow Tired-The Entire System West
and South of Kansas City Tied-Up-The
Belt Line at Chicago Weakens.
KANSAS CITY. Mo-, March 16 The engls
noers and iremen on the vast system of
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad
went out on a strike at 4 O. clock yesterday
afternoon
Although the men are reticent it is be-
Heved that the order to strike came
from the headquarters of the Broth
erhood OF Locomotive Engineers It
is said that notices were sent out order
ing strikes on the Santa Fe, the Fort
Scott and the Missouri Pacific The strike
on the Fort Scott, it is said, will take place
at 10 o'clock tnis morning, and that on the
Missouri Pacific at o'clock this afternoon
The cause of the strike is generally thought
to be the action of the Santa Fe in hand
ling Burlington freight. March the engi-
neers and fire men had a conference with
the officials of the road on the subject.
This resulted in the serving of a
notice by the representatives of the
Brotherhood upon the company that after
Sunday, March II, the engineers and fire.
men would refuse to haul Chicago, Burling
ton 4 Quincy cars There was no notice of
strike or suspension of work, and no no.

veoped yesterday into n love feast
When the case was called in Judge
Gresham's court at 2 o'clock Writ
Dexter, in behalf of the Burlington
Company, said that, as the Belt Line
had raised its blockade and was now han.
ding Burlington freight he would not
press the motion. Mr. Osborne, for the
Western Indiana owners of the Bet
Line, remarked that they had commenced
to handle Burlington freight OF their
own accord before the petition was filed in
court Every thing was satisfactory and
Judge Gresham had only to acquiesce in
the agreement of counsel The motion was
postponed indefinitely without being dis
m sed.

from the agent of the Belt line informing

. Nasal Voices, Catarrh and False
. u Teeth"

A prominent English woman saws the
American women al have high, shrill. nasal
voices and false teeth.
Americans don't like the constant twit-
ting they get about this nasal twang and
yet it is a fact caused by our dry stimulat-
Ing atmosphere, and the universal presence
Of catarrhal difficulties
But why should so many of our women
have false teeth?
That is more of poser to the English. It
Is quite impossible to account for it except
on the theory of deranged stomach action
caused by imprudence in eating and by
want of regular exercise.
Both conditions are unnatural
Catarrhal troubles everywhere prevail
and end in cough and consumption, which
are promoted by mal-nutrition induced by
deranged stomach action. The condition is
modern one, one unknown to our ancestors
who prevented the catarrh cold, cough and
consumption by abundant and regular use
OF what is now known as Warmers Log
Cabin Cough and consumption Remedy and
Log Cabin Sarsaparilla, two old fashioned
standard remedies handed down from our
ancestors, and now exclusively put forth
under the strongest guarantees of purity
and efficacy by the world-famed makers Of
w ~ AASA olAC CuI0. 1ucSG Two ICmGOlcS
plentifully used as the spring and summer
seasons advance give positive assurance
OF freedom, both from catarrh and those
dreadful and, if neglected, inevitable conse-
quenccs, pneumonia, lung troubles and con-
sumption, which 50 generally and fatally
prevail among our people.
Comrade Eli Fisher, of Salem. Henry O..
Iowa, served four years in the late war and
contracted disease called consumption by
the doctors. He had frequent hemorrhages.
After using Warmers Log Cabin Cough and
Consumption remedy, he says, under date
of Jan. 10Th, 1883: II do not bleed at the
lungs any more, my cough does not bother
me, and do not have any more smother1ng
spells" Warmers Log Cabin Rose Cream
cured his wife Of catarrh and she is sisouud
and well.''
Of course we do not like to have our
women called nose takers and false teeth
owners, but these conditions can be readily
overcome in the manner Indicated
