SHE DIDN,T LIKE HIS SUIT.
Why n Minneapolis Girl Rejected
Her CoIored Lover.

One of the saddest men in Minneapolis
Yesterday was Arthur B. OXIey, of Lodi, CAL
He came to this city last Saturday for the
purpose of meeting young lady, to whom
he has been engaged for five years. To his
CONSERVATION he discovered that she was no
longer in love with him and was going with
a young fellow from Marshall, MINI.
She ran away Thursday afternoon to Hud-
son, Wis, and was married to young man
from Marshall. Neither is over nineteen, so
Oxley claims. The Californian met her five
years ago, when she came out to his fruit
ranch with some cousins. He fell in love
with her and an engagement followed. They
kept up a correspondence until she came
back to Minnesota. She visited for time In
Winona, and then came to Minneapolis. fIe
constantly importuned her to marry him and
finally the date was set for last Thursday.
He sold off lot of fruit to pay the wedding
expenses and came to Minneapolis Saturday.
On arriving he called on his fiancee and was
treated coldly. His suit was an old one
the one he WORE as we'll as the one he was
pressing. She coldly advised him to go and
buy a new suit for the cermony and he at
once invested in complete outfit, not expen-
sve but durable. She saw him in the new
suit and, after going home, wrote him
formal note stating that her landlady pre-
ferred that he would not call there any more,

MAYOR PRATT AND HIS PARTY az
JUNKETERS RETURN TO MIN
NEAPoLIS.
BANoUETED IN COAST CITIES
UNTIL THEY PRACTICALLY FOR
GOT THAT THEY WE'RE STUDY
ING PAVING.
HOspitaIities of a Banquet Extended
to the st. Paul Gray Coats-Min-
neapOiis Matters,

Mayor Pratt and hts party of frisky
colts returned from the land of Canaan
at o'clock last evening over the
Great Northern line, all in an excellent
state of health except City Clerk Chas.
F. Haney, who. during the latter por-
ton Of the trip, has been incapacitated
with an attack of acute rheumatism.
Nevertheless Mr.. Haney has shown
great fortitude, although suffering
greatly, and has continued to manage
the details of the trip. With one or
two exceptions, every man on board
the car gained from two to ten pounds
of flesh, the increase being noticeable
daily during the sojourn in the orange
groves Of Los Angeles
The entire trip, consuming three
weeks, and covering nearly 1000 miles
of travel, passed off without a single
feature to mar the pleasure of the ex-
cursionists except the illness Of Mr..
Haney. A thousand acts Of Ilospi-
tally were crowded upon the tray
elers by the Warm-hearted Western
ers, who put no limit to their gen
erosity. Banquets were served at Seat
tie, Tacoma, Portland Los Angeles and
Santa Monica.
During the progress Of the, trip sew
eral jokes were played upon his honor.
For instance, he probably did not real
ize until he reached home last evening
that he had carried about twenty
pounds Of railroad iron from the union
depot to the bosom of his family. Some
Wag hid the iron in his satchel.
If the aldermen went out with any
organized idea of studying the paving
question, the fact did not materialize
during the outing. However there was
not one of the party who did not make
more or less inquiry on his own re-
sponsibility. The fact seems to be
we'll established, however, that Seattle
Portland, Tacoma, San Francisco and
Los Angeles are paying more for as
phalt pavement than Minneapolis has
been asked to pay. All of the above
cities have tried the two kinds of as
phalt produced in California, and have
declared the experiment very unsatis-
factory. --eA
This week the council will settle down
to work again, and the paving cues
ton will bob up like Banquo's ghost.

MAIL CARRIERS FRATERxIzE.
minneapolis Gray Coats Entertain
Their ST. Paul Rrethren.

Minneapolis Gray Coats Entertain
Their ST. Paul Brethren.
The Minneapolis mail carriers were
hosts to their St. Paul brothers last
evening, and the guests were royalty
entertained. The first part of the even
ing was given up to a well-arranged
programme of music and speeches. The
delegation numbered about ninety, and
arrived at Washington and Hennepin
avenues at SIS, where they were met
by the Minneapolis men. They were
then escorted to North Star hall, which
had been handsomely decorated with
flags and bunting in honor of the oc-
casion. The president of the Mime
apolis branch of the national associa-
ton made an address Of welcome, and
read regrets from Gov. Clough, Loren
Fletcher and Fred Snyder, in which
they expressed their sorrow at not be-
ing able to be present.
At the close Of the speeches the ban
quet hall doors were thrown wide and
the guests were escorted TO the tables,
during which time the Minneapolis
band rendered a spirited march.
Between the speeches the st. Paul
and Minneapolis letter carriers bands
gave several selections, and Thomas
Jones, of st. Paul, sang THE Deacon
Led Astray'' and put Me Off at Buff
falo." After all present had enjoyed
the ample repast, cigars were passed
and a half-hour passed in conversation
and a pleasant smoke, and the guests
. then departed for their home.

are natural strongholds. They are

At the height Of about 1900 feet the
mountains are almost inaccessible, but
the queens fighters Chamber UP their

In the very heart of the mountains
the queen has caused to be erected a
