 The Pittsburgh Telegraph considered the subject too sacred for prose, so dropping into poetry produced the fol- lowing ballad next best to John Gill; pins ride:
 A far-off Ariz)na man
 Decided he n,st wed And have for bride a Pittsburgh girl,
 At least that's what he said. So to our Mayor Deihl he wrote,
 And begged him to assist In putting two more names upon
 Sly Cupid's lenghthy list. The mayor thought twas work enough
 To run this big town, But still he didn't like to turn
 The distant stranger down. At last he summoned all his clerks,
 And they devised plan To get girl they thought would suit
 This Arizona man. They put the mans appeal in print
 And spre ad 1t far and wide, So every girl could have chance
 To be a happy bride. But when the facts had been proclaimed
 In town and far beyond The mayor said he greatly feared
 That no girl would respond. Next day to his surprise he saw
 Replies come pouring in Each postman bringing letters stacked
 From hands up to his chin. And with replies came photographs,
 Some showing cutest curls; But. strange to say, most of them came
 From Allegheny girls. The limit for replies expired.
 And then the task began. For 1t was hard to make a choice
 From those who sought the man. But finally the mayor picked
 One he thought suited best, And soon her photograph and te
 Were speeding to the west. Now, whether she's Pittsburgh girl
 Or Allegheny belle Is something that the mayor says
 At present he won't tell. But he is sure that she will suit
 The Arizona man. And that he'll come to claim, his bride
 As quickly as he can. The secret can't be long withheld,
 For there'll be no names missed When eager eyes still closer scan
 The marriage license list. In time the wedding day will come.
 And when the knot is tied Our mayor ought to be the first
 To kiss the blushing bride.

A MUNICIPAL SELECTION
Of a Bride For Phoenix Mine
 Owner.

Robert Stevens who is said to be en- gagged in the mining industry. making Phoenix his headquarters, appears to have been making an improper, If not unlawful. use of the United States mails. The story is tod in the follow ing article from the Tiitsburg Commer- cial Gazette, which accounted It to be of such unusual importance that It put head over 1t half as wide as a page and almost one-fourth as long:
 When Robert Stevens. mine owner, of Phoenix, Arizona, emerges from the mountains and hurries back to his home in Phoenix, he will find in hls mall the address and picture of a young lady who wants to marry him and who in the judgment of Mayor w.. J. Dlehl is best qualified to discharge the duties of wife to MT. Stevens. and with whom he has reason to believe the Arizona mine owner will be satis- fled. The letter and photograph started on their trip to Arizona at noon today. Mir. Stevens is expected to take m mediate action. There will likely be . wedding soon.
 After Mayor Dlehl had announced several weeks ago that he had re ceived letter from Robert stevens, ol Phoenix. Arizona, asking the assistance of the chief executive of this city in getting him wife in Pittsburgh. there were numerous answers from young women. Letters with and without photographs poured into the o1ice or the mayor, but strange to say, none oI them were from Pittsburgh womfn' There were many letters from Ale gheny and some from as far away as West Virginia. but none of them were from young Pittsburgh women. The mayor had originally intended to for ward all the letters to the PnoehiN man. but finally decided that he would select one from the list and send IL to the miner with the recommendation that he look no further for wife.
 Tine selection was made through the assistance of Mayors Clerks John C.. Henry and w. c. Wright. who were called into the conference, as the may or thought their wide and varied cNpe- rience would be of great deal of value in coming to a decision. The young lady who was selected received the votes of the three members of tho con ference. The package was made up this morning and mailed at room.

HE WAS SLEEPIN' so SWEET There was an incident in the late legislative visit to Jerome which has been unintentionally omitted from the record. The first morning out mem- Der observed that all his brother legis- lators had their shoes brilliantly pol ished. while his own were coated with Salt River valley alkali dust. He in quired of one of them where the job had been done. The reply was that the porter had probably done it. though it had occurred in the night. After inquiry in other quarters the leg islator went to the porter and in quired why he had been overlooked in ,the general shoe reformation. Have done anything to you or to the railroad company to which you take exceptions? Or do look like a hayseed whose eyes ought not to be subjected to the unac- customed dazzlery of shoe shine?" The .1porter replied that he had no opinion on either subject, but he said, Boss, if youse kickin' cause yo shoes aint shined, I'll tell you how it Was. When I comes aroun' dis mornin' yo was sleepin' so sweet I hated to wake yo up. The other gentlemen took their shoes off when they went to bed an put 'em down on the floor where they was handy to git" %

STEEL BARONS UNDAUNT[D| |
Decision of 5000 Joliet Men to Join
the Strikers Has No Apparent
Effect on the Situation.
NOW A LONG DRAWN OUT FIsHT.
Union Men Are Greatly Cheered and De-
clare That All the Mill Employees VIII
Walk Out Rather Than Lose the Mark
OF bnionism. But Their Optimistic Pro-
gramme Yet Remains to Be Carried Out.

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 17.-The re-
versal of front by the 5000 men of
Joliet, ILL.,, who decided to strike, has
cheered the steel strikers more than
any other event of the week and their
hopes again seem high. 1t has ended
for the time being all talk of peace by
compromise and given the fight the as
pect of prolonged one. The strikers
declare in their enthusiasm that they
will force the Milwaukee men to Join
with them and that in the end the
Chicago steel workers rather than lose
the mark of unionism will finally re-
consider their action and swing into
line. This optimistic programme re-
mains to be carried out, however. The
loss at Joliet has had no apparent eff
feet upon the men who are directing
the field operations of the steel cor
poration. One of them remarked
when he heard the news from Joliet:
well, it seems to be settling down to
long, drawn-out fight and guess we
can win at that sort of game"
There are no developments in the
situation in western Pennsylvania,
Ohio or West Virginia. McKeesport
and Wheeling continue silent while
here in Pittsburg and vicinity no ef-
fort was made to add to the force at
the mills which are working either
partly or in full with non-union men.
The steel corporation is preparing
to reopen the steel works at Monnes-
sen. White men are being brought
up from the south and it is expected
by Monday start will be made there.
Every precaution to guard the non
union men is being taken as it is
the strikers and their sympathizerS
cannot be held in check by their lead
ers.

RICHEST MAN IN IOWA.
Edwin II. Manning, Who Is Dead at KeO-
sauqua. Left an Estate Valued at
Three Million Dollars.

keosauqua, Ia, Aug. 17.-Edwin II.
Manning, the wealthiest man in the
state of Iowa, died at his home here
at six o'clock Friday morning, at the
age of Sc years. His estate is valued
at $3,000,OO0. Three years ago Mr..
Manning's mind gave way and since
that time he has been as helpless as
child. His wife and oldest son, with
the help of old and trusted employees,
attended to his business affairs.
Mr.. Manning went into a country
grocery store in Pennsylvania with an
uncle when he was a young man. Six
ty-five years ago they moved to Jack
son county, Mo, and bought land
Slavery was so obnoxious to them that
the next year after their arrival they
went to Iowa, laid out Keosauqua and
opened general store. His goods
were sent from New York by ocean
to New Orleans and thence up the
Mississippi river. Mr.. Manning
opened up several trading posts on
the Des Moines river. He bought pro-
duce from the farmers and built Hat
boats every spring on which he
shipped his purchases down the river
10 New Orleans.

A REBUKE FROM BRYAN.
The Nebraskan Grieved Because the
President Didn't Officially Rec
ognize Mrs. Kruger's Death.
COMPARED TO EMPRESS FREDERICK.
The Wife of Paul Kruger, MIR. Bryan Says.
Possessed just as Noble Qualities as the
German EmperOr's Mother and She
Made Sacrifices Which the Former Was
Never Called Upon to Make.

Lincoln, Neb., Aug Nv. j. Bry.
an makes this comment on President
Mckinley's message of sympathy to
the German emperor on the death of
the Empress Frederick:
1T is true that the mother of the
German emperor possessed noble
qualities.' These did endear her mem
ory to the American people, exactly
as the memory Of any good woman is
endeared to any good people. But
The wife of Paul Kruger possessed
noble qualities She made sacrifices
which the good mother of the Ger
man emperor was never called upon
TO make. She showed heroic devotion
TO her husband and to her country
which the good mother of the Ger
man emperor never had an opportu-
nifty to display. She died a prisoner
of war held a prisoner of war by the
representatives of an empire, and her
life was sacrificed because of her de-
votion to the principles which in the
past we have been fond of calling
American principles
And yet the president of this re-
public has no word of comfort to give
the president of the South African
republic; he has no word of consola-
ton to offer to the stricken people of
the South African republic; he has no
tribute to pay to the noble qualities
OF one of the most heroic figures in
the history of the world, for the wife
of Paul Kruger was an heroic figure"

WORK OF YEARS uNDoNE.
Heat and Drought Has Killed Millions OF
Fish in Missouri Streams That Had
Been Carefully Guarded.

Sedalia, Mo-, Aug. 1.-THE drought
has played havoc with the fish in the
Petit Saline. popular fishing stream
running through Pettis and Cooper
counties. Millions of fish have been
killed by the terrific heat. The Petit
Saline is dry in many places and the
deeper pools are filled with fish, many
of them dead. Boys and countrymen
scoop the fish up and fill barrels, send
ing them to the nearest towns to
market. A fine lake near Smithton,
which has been stocked with fish and
carefully guarded against seiners, has
gone dry and the bottom is mass of
decaying fish. Many private lakes in
Pettis and Saline counties have dried
up and the work of years has been

A SUMMARY OF KANSAS EVENTS.
Queer verdict &C; ce,t scott.

A jury of prominent men in q JUS
tees court at Fort Scott found that
Rev. Price, presiding elder cf the
Methodist church in that district, was
guilty of malicious prosecution in a
liquor case and acquitted the defend
ant and assessed the costs against the
clergyman. The defendant in the case
was the keeper of saloon that has
been running wide open and several
witnesses readily admitted having
bought liquor at the place. Rev. Price
had bought some for the purpose of
getting direct testimony. The verdict
is the result of bitter fight for and
against open saloons.
