Longing.

My soul today
Is far away,
Bat not on the
Vesuvian bay.
1t does not ride
Out there in pride.
It's looking for
A different tide,
For it is out
Somewhere about
The center of
The free lunch route.
Would l could chase
MY soul apace
And at the counter
Feed my face.
Would l were free
This hour to be
Down where the redhot
Waits for me.

THE IRON INDUSTRY.

CLEVELAND. Ohio. August 1.-The Iron
Trade Review today says:
There is a marked increase in inquiry for
pig iron in eastern markets. and buying
movement of some proportions has been
started in New York. but in the central
west the pig iron markets are listless
although prices show little change. 1t is
undo rstood that the corporation is willing
to take from 10000 to 1900 tons Of Besse-
mer pig iron at $50 valley furnace. There
is a scarcity Of Bessemer. but an ample
supply of basic is obta1nable.
Although the buying OF steel rails IL not
general. contracts for $1,000 tons have been
placed IN Chicago. Railroads are showing
more of a tendency to buy. and the mar
ket in track material Is stronger. especially
in spikes and bolts.
Lower prices for scrap are having eff
feet on bar iron. and the quotation Of 1.60
Pittsburg has been shaded. The present
tendency Is toward frmness. One concern
which has been we'll known for its tendency
to name low prices for bar iron has been
placed In the hands Of a receiver.

MRS. "oRCHARD" TO SUE.
Federation Attorneys Said to Have In
duced Orchard to Deny Confession.


BOISE. August IA story has been pub
lished here to the effect that Mrs. Albert
f. Horsley. wife OF Harry Orchard. has ar
ranged to bring suit against Dan Gardener,
to whom her husband sold his interest in
the famous Hercules mine, the contention
being that the deed was invalid. as 1t did
not bear her signature.
The most sensational feature Of the story
Is the statement that Jesse D. Root of
Butte. law partner Of Peter Breen, counsel
for Haywood In the recent trial. went to
Northumberland county. Ontario. and Sc
cured from Mrs. Horsey authority to bring
the action. Added to this Is story that
Peter Breen has had an interview with Or
chard and has induced him to agree to re-
pudiate his confession. and that Orchard
has employed the firm of Breen & Root to
defend him when his trial comes on.
The entire story is denied by representa-
ttves Of the state. but the fact that Mrs.
Horsley did not sign the deed might be
used as hook upon which to hang an &C
ton.
c. H. Meyer states he will not return to
Denver with Haywood. as he does not wish
to be present at any celebration before he
has been tried. He proposes to take a va
cation trip. but has not determined where
to go.
The Haywood party will leave for Denver
Friday.
barrow is still here It is understood a
change in the personnel of the attorneys
for the defense Is likely to be made. The
feud which has existed between barrow and
Richardson ever since the case began is
more pronounced than ever. and both have
said that one or the other will have to get
out. barrow feels confident Haywood's in
fluence will be thrown in his favor in set
ting the matter.

The sight an unusual one. as the

tire operation. and never once lost her
nerve. Mrs. Noyes had been brought to the
hospital in the morning. and at O. clock In
the afternoon the doctors performed the
operation.
The woman did not rally. although a
quantity Of blood was transfused into her
body and she expired at o'clock in the
evening. The opera ton lasted about twenty
minutes. and last night 1t was stated at the
hospital that Miss Breedon was doing spIen-
didly.
