Mra Rodney was an easy mark for
the old gentleman because he knew 80

Miss Rodney had not been gone long

To understand Mrs Rodney's feel.

William j. Bryan, Charles A. Towne,
James X. Jones, chairman of the Demo

Wetmore of ST. Louis, the tobacco mer-
chant, and j. j. Hogan, a Democratic
politician of La Crosse, Wis, will en-
joy an outing at Minocqua Wis, fish
ing resort on the Chicago, Milwaukee
& ST. Paul railway.
National Committeeman w. j. Stone
has been invited to join the party, but
has declined owing to the fact that the

his attention at that time as counsel.
The party will be the guests of Col.
Wetmore at his summer cottage at

Wisconsin gathering will be simply an

The ST. Louis Strike.

AT st. Louis the employees of the Street
Car Company have been on strike for
over two weeks, some forty or fifty
persons have been killed and wounded;
there has been some destruction of
property and the public has been greatly
ineommoded by being deprived of their
customary means of transit The stu
alton is the usual one which the Ameri-
can public has grown accustomed TO,
namely complaint by the employees
of being underpaid, "a complaint which
is in all likelihood just offers to the
Street Railway Company TO arbitrate,
pressure brought by the leading citizens
to induce the company 10 arbitrate,
and high-handed domineering refusal
of the company to submit the question
