MOTHERS GRATITUDE TO oBLIG-

The Tonopah Sun tells of California
editor TO whom at the time OF the
wreck Of the steamer Columbia came a
woman whose son was on the ship
She was half -crazed with anxiety and
she begged the editor to find out II he
could whether the boy had been saved
or lost.
The editor telegraphed tor informa-
tion and asked to have the answer
marked collect !. He also ran big
story on the first page Of the paper
with the yoong man name in circus
poster type.
Unfortunately one of the initials was
printed wrong. The mother called the
editor on the telephone and asked
What's the matter with you news

pity you can I do things right once in
while.
And that is all the thanks the editor

The Iron Market.

The Iron Age says The principal
anxiety of producers Of iron and steel
is that of collections. and these appear
to be the more unsatisfactory the closer
the buyer Is 60 railroad interests. The
financial situation is dominating the
industry, yet there are surprisingly
few cancellations deliveries Of mater
ial are brisk and many cases Of urging
shipment are cited The current con-
sumption is still very heavy and pro
misses 10 continue so for many months
TO come, but in those branches OF the
trade which haye-enjoyed the greatest
advances there is a deadlock betw cen
buyers and sellers over the prices for
future delivery
The markets are decidedly weak.
Some Southern nIa aayo reduced
their seeking prices SO at the fur
mace for the balance OF the tnlrd quar-
ter. and 10 $40. 80 for the fourth quar-
ter. but we cannot learn of any trans
actions Of consequence.
The experience Of one of the larger
rail mills which makes scale OF
prices varying with the percentage OF
discard and also with phosphorus con
tent is that the railroads generally are
willing to pay for quality
A moderate amount Of new business
has been booked by the structural
mills In the lighter lines Of rolling
mill products the new business is not
large. aud the WORKS are catching up
on deliveries SO that the last Of the
premiums are disappearing No serious

business for which the sessle - TO be
held will be specified in the call. which

principal reason for holding the special

governor. The proposed amendment
will be that these officials shall be
nominated by plurality vote.
Another important measure to be
considered will be a bill providing for
the nomination OF United States
senators by direct vote Of the people

strongly opposed by some members Of
the legislature and it is thought that

fore it is finally passed

duced providing for a new appropria

session the school will be without AN
