CORRALLED THE BRIDE.
The Strange Wedding of Big Charley and
Meetutse Nance.

Pilots for stories have not all been
used, as some people assertm remarked
W. A. Jenning of Wyoming in the
Colonnade to a Philadelphia Press man.
"a friend of mine" he continued,
''who lives out in the cattle country of
the Big Horn basin was a witness in
1888 to one of the most remarkable
weddings of which l have ever heard.
AT that time a few settlers had gath
cred in and formed the nucleus of what
is now prosperous farming region,
but the sway of the cowboy was undis-
puted. The first wedding in that sec
ton on Owl creek was that of Big
Charley and Meetutse Nance, a native
sagebrush belle. The bride and groom
came seventy-five miles on horseback
to the squire's, and in exactly the same
fashion. When within a few miles of
the squire's home they met that Of
ficial, surrounded by a half a dozen
cowboys. Then the bride got restive
and nervous, declaring that she would
not marry any man on earth. But the
judge, the cowboys, and groom were
equal to the occasion. At short dis
tance stood corral.
Take her over to the corral, boys,
and put her in, said his honor.
''As Meetutse Nance heard this or
der she made wild break for the hills;
but her days of freedom were over.
She was quickly run down, and amid
volley of feminine sagebrush eloquence
the delighted boys started on lope
for the corral. Reaching this, Nance
leaped from her bronx and started like
scared deer for some adjacent brush;
but it was no go. However, she fought
vigorously, and his honor ordered:
'Hobble her, boys The boys were in
ecstasies. A pair of rawhide hobbies
were stripped from a cayuse's neck,
and their twist adjusted about the
sturdy ankles of the struggling bride.
She was then taken into the corral and
his honor, mounting the fence, babe the
groom take his place by her side and
catch on to her hand. This done, his
honor assumed the look of dignified i'm
portance called for by the occasion, and
said.
"Big Charlie and Meetutse Nance,
you come inter this corral single. l
now pronounce You couple. Big
Charlie, unhobble your wife"
But this Big Charley found difficult
to do and it was not until one of the
cowboys had gently cast his lariat over
the newly made wife that the husband
was able to turn the lady loose Then
the justice called his boys together,
and, saying, Come on, BOYS; we
han't got no business here now led
them away. One of the BOYS looked
back and the happy couple were busy
unpacking their camping outfit and
the honeymoon had evidently begun"

Russian Technical Schools,

Russia is organizing system of
technical schools of q very complete
form. The schools are of three classes,
lower and middle technical, and upper,
or, as they are called, trade schools.
The first consists of three divisions, for
mechanics, chemists, and builders re-
speetively. The second class is in
tended for assistant engineers and
architects, foremen builders, and agri-
cultural bailiffs.

The Scramble for Office.

Uncle Sam pays his 200, 600 employees,
including soldiers and sailors, an
average salary of 1926 apiece. The
average earnings of the plain, every
day citizen, who gets pay in proper
half that much, probably. This state
of affairs explains, perhaps, why about
26,000,000 male American citizens
make dead set for about 80, 600 offices
every four years. About 25, $50 600 are
disappointed every time, it is true, after
wasting great deal of money and
patience, but they have had a chance

printed circular, which was placed in
all the conspicuous places. Then I
started about to see how it was being
received, and, to my dismay, found
that there were too many other circu-
lars about for much attention to ba
paid to it. Clearly must get at the
people in another way. But how2 Look
ing about I soon found that the ma
jority of the inhabitants were in the
saloons. It was an odd thing to do,
but determined to 60 into the saloons
and speak to the men myself. SO l
started down the street.
The first saloon ! came to entered.
Several men looked ouriously at me as
l asked for the proprietor. l was
taken back into 9 most comforta-
bly, furnished room, where the pro-
prietor was. l introduced myself say
ing: 1 have come to pay you my re-
spects. Will you introduce me to these
gentlemen?'
"With great pleasure said he, and
minute later l was shaking hands
with the boys and talking to them.
Gentlemen said l, i am going to-
hold services in the town hall to-mor-
row morning and want to get the peo-
pie there. Will you help me7'
"Yes, SIR they answered. Bishop,
you can depend on us. Well see you
through And they did. Visited the
other saloons with almost identical re-
suits, and the following morning you
would have thought that the circus had
come to town from the crowds that
hocked to the service. I have never
preached to more reverent congre-
CATION than they were"

AFRAID TO BOLT.
The Iowa Deadlock May Last Through
the Summer.

Des Moines, Ia, Feb. 5.-If the
voters of Iowa keep on writing let
ters to their representatives in the
legislature, the present deadlock in
the house will last till the the crack
of doom. Every member has his
pockets full of communications from
his constituents, all telling him to
"stick" aud conveying in terms more
or less forcible the idea that unless
he "beats those republicans" or clay
out those democrats" as the politi
cal faith of the writer or recipient
may be. the member had better go
to Dakota or further when the ses-
sion is over, as his costituents would
have no use for him at home
All the members who went home
to spend Sunday received the same
sort of verbal advice from everybody
they met, and the consequence was
that when the house got together
Monday the deadlock was tighter
than ever.

KILLED HIS WIFE.
Then Rode Qnlckiy Into Town and
Surrendered.

Waco, Tex, Feb. 4.-One of the
most brutal murders that has takt n
place i'll this county occurred thi is
morning near McGregor, 26 miles
from Waco. About noon to -dav
Charley Goulding. an Industrious
farmer, came to McGregor and sur
rendered to the officers, saying he
had killed his wife. The circum-
ctances, as near as can be learned,
are as follows:
Goulding said he awoke about
o'clock this morning and saw his
wife approaching his bed with a
hammer raised as if to strike him.
He caught the weapon and struck
her a blow on the head, making q
confusion. He broke several chairs
in striking her, and afterwards chok.
ed her until she died.
A coroner's jury is investigating g
particulars of the tragedy. Gouldine
was brought to Waco this afternoon
for safe keeping in the Waco Jail
The officers had to ship him out O.
McGregor to prevent the infuriatee
citizens from compelling him to pa.
the penalty of hns crime.
He is a man of good reputation
and not addicted to drink. His wifi,
had often said he was insane. 4
Republic reporter visited him at the
Jail, but could get no answers to an,
questions. Goulding did not seen
