But, at the same time. l feel that 1 Mr. Mccoy will lose some votes in this city. through me. that he would otherwise have gotton and which he is certainly entitled to. For that reason am compelled to ask my friends to work all the harder for him. and knowing that you are my friend and that you feel kindly dis posed to Mr. Me, thought it best to explain this thing to you and urge you to do everything you con sistently can for the old man.
 There are few men in town, Lon. that lost little money on my cleo ton, and for that reason they are sore. In other words. they are good winners. but d. poor looSeis know, Lon. that you are not in sympathy with that kind of move ment, and hence will not encourage 1t. 1 do not blame a rnan for voting against me or my friend, but 1 do kick, Lon. when men get to be so nar- TOW minded that they will try to defeat a good man and one who has never nistreated any one. and is as true as steel to his friends, for the simple reason that ther want to get me fired, aud take the bread and meat out of the mouths of my wife and child.
 do not believe, Lon, old man. that you will give your aid to any such scheme. and if you can find it consistent to say a good word for MT. Me, and thereby help me, I promise you 10 return the compli- ment at any and all times. Ali Task you to do is to call on me when 1 can serve you.
 Now. Lon. I wish you would ans wer this letter immediately and let me know how you feel about it, and how your part of the county is so far as Mir Me. is concerned.
 Awaiting your reply and. hoping to see you real soon, with best wishes to yourself and dear family.
 Believe me, your friend sincerely.

"L-ON, OLD MANI
SAY A GOOD WORD FOR BIY BOSS AND
 HELP ME.
The Pathetic Appeal of City Clerk Bloom Who Wants
 to Hold Two Jobs.

City Clerk Bloom, flushed with the success of his recent victory in the city election. whose majority was only three votes. is branching out into county politics. For two years Mir. Bloom has held two pubic offices, that of City Clerk and ! Deputy Circuit Clerk under H. 4. Mccoy, and he knows a private snap when he has it. Neither is lie going to give up the aforesaid priv ate snap without an effort Buck has all of a sudden developed into a great politician. He has also de- veloped into a great letter writer during political campaigns at least, and at the present rate will soon acquire the sweet sobriquet of "Buck the Penman" But in one case at least he failed to add the famous postesripts of famous statesman, viz: Burn this letter. , For one of Bucks letters has fallen into our hands, and kno wing the appreciation of the public for the humorous, we need make no apology for publishing it. Bucks heart is iii dire distress His boss has an op- ponent. and therefore the City Clerk is scared lest he should lose his other job. Therefore. he is writing letters to the country brethren inqairing about their battles and the dear familyn His pleas for his boss are pathetic. They are soul-stirring. and even now as we pen these few lines our eyes are moved to tears out of sheer sy1npa- thy. But to the letter. Without further comment. and simply as an item Of news which we know will interest and entertain as well as move the readers heart to pity. we produce one of Bucks brilliant letters below, which is as follows:

 My DEAR LON:-You will no doubt be surprised to hear from me at this time, but 1 feel that yon are my friend and that when you can do so, YOU will do me a favor, as 1 would you. My position is this. ever since the city election, which l won fairly and squarely, but by a close margin as you have seen, some of the younger class Of boys in this city have got it in for ne, and for that reason are trying to take their re- venge out on Mir. Nc. l will say. however, that there are but few of these kind Of people and they are not the best politicians on earth, see?

uous objection of the Scharff family to the match. The couple were married at Springfield. H., aud re- turned to St. Louis three days later, when they were apparently forgiven by the brides parents. They then went to Pine Bluff, Ark They lived there until last December, when Mrs Altheimer came to St. Louis on a visit to her parents. Her husband followed few days later, and they decided to permanently live here. They stopped at the Scharf residence while making ar engagements to 20 to housekeeping. l As mutual friend of the parties concerned said last night, there never was a happier couple than Mir. and Mrs. Altheimer, in spite of the fact that in the Scharff home, below the surface, it could be seen that the family had not quite for gotten the elopement and its attend ing circumstances.
 Yesterday three weeks ago Mir. Altheimer, as usual, left for his bus mess about s o'clock in the morSing, kissing his wife goodbye. Return turning at o'clock in the afternoon, he was met in the front hall by MT. A. Scharff, his father-in-law, who ordered him from the house, telling him not to show his face there again. As can be imagined, the young man was thunderstruck, as he did not know what to make of his father-in- laws action. He asked to See his wife. but was told that his wife would have nothing more to do with him, He begged for all explanations, and it is pfobable he would have forced his way to where his wife was, only he noticed there were. some strange men in the parlor and thought it best not to create a scene. He earnestly and repeatedly asked to see his wife, and at last Mrs. Altheimer was sent for. She came to the front door and declared that her father was acting for her in the matter.
 Dazed and bewildered by the mys- terious action of his wife, Mr. Altheiner says he left the house. Before leaving MT. Scharff handed him the engagement and wedding rings which the young man had given his wife.
 Mr. Altheimer waited 9 week, hoping that his wife would send him some word of explanation, but he was disappointed. He wrote to his father, and Col. Altheimer came to
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1896-04-26

St. Louis about ten days ago Through mutual friends he tried to effect a reconciliation, but was un- successful.
 Col. Altheiner left for his home last Monday. The young husband re- mained ia St. Louis. Mr. Althei- mer has almost daily sent word to the Scharff family that he wants to see his child, Virginia, who is but months old, but the privilege is de nied him.
 Mr. Altheimer would not discuss the affair further than to say: "It is all a mystery to me. I dearly love my wife, and I am confident she still loves me. hope for a reconciliation, and I believe it will come, as 1 can see no reason why my wife wants legal separation. We never had So much as a cross word between us since the day we were married. l can not imagine what charges my wife may allege in her contemplated divorce petition. 1 have tried to be, and I believe I have been, a model husband. Of course her family may bring up some trumped-up charge against me, but will disprove anything of that sort should the question be brought to an issue. I still cling to the hope, however, that my wife will follow the dictates of her heart and conscience and give up the present plan
 A visit was made to the Scharff's residence yesterday. Mrs, Althei- mer, who is considered one of the most beautiful young women in St. Louis, acknowledged that she will sue her husband for divorce. She seemed to treat the matter rather lightly, and said Yes, I have en- gagged counsel and will shortly file suit My husband and have been separated for three weeks, l do not desire notoriety, and l must ask to be excused from an interview I refase to say what charges I intend to make in my petition 7
 Mrs. Altheimer was interrupted here by her father, who told her not to commit herself any further.
 Mr. Scharff said that no state- ment would be made by the family until after the fling of the divorce petition.
