whether he will be elected speaker
of the next house. Fear is enter
tanned that small plurality in the
district, combined with the cutlery
against him in the country may en-
danger his chances.
Union labor is strong in the dis
trict. They have Labor day parades
here with 5000 men in line The
deciding vote will be cast by them.
Gompers is said to have three or
ganizers in the district and he may
take the field in person. The work
of Gompers is being done very
quietly, and it is impossible to say
what proportion of the men will fall
into line with him. Two Of the
speakers on Labor day warned the
working men to keep out of party
politics, and one of them described
the experience of the miners in
Alabama with democratic gov
ernOr.
Gompers fired a broadside at
Cannon in his Labor day speech
and the Methodists opened fire
shortly afterward ON the Littlefield
bill. 1t is the latter issue that also
makes the prohibitionists particu-
larly hot against the speaker.
Cannon met the attack in a
speech delivered when he was
given home coming reception Re-
ferring to Gompers, he said: The
boss of labor came to Danville on
Labor day to preach my political
funeral sermon. He said he was
going to give Joe Cannon hell"
Then Cannon proceeded straight
away to return the compliment. He
spoke well of the bishops and then
added: But they got misinforma-
tion-they go off half cooked He
said their talk of his carlike power
was nonsense and that they were
troubled with hysteria.

A RECONCILIATION
MAY BE EFFECTED
One More Good Result That Follows
the Reading of The Republican.

The Republican does all sorts of
good things for its readers and the
latest is to start the negotiations for
bringing about n family reconciliation.
In Tuesday mornings paper was pub
lished the fact that Herman Fieber of
Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, a soldier
in the regular army. had written the
Phoenix chief of police in the hope of
locating his fathers brother, Constan-
tine Fieber who had not been heard
from directly for thirty years but who
was known 70 have been in Arizona
three years ago.
Tuesday afternoon Constantine Fie-
Der presented himself before Chief
Moore and pleaded guilty to being the
man wanted. breaking into tears as
he did so. The chief was very much
surprised for he had known the man
for many years but under another
name, and one which Fieber may con-
tinue to use as far as that goes for
he did not assume It to cover up any
dishonorable act. and for which rea-
son the assumed name is not here
made known.
Fieber told the officer that some
thirty years ago he and his brother
went to New York City together from
one of the nearby states west of there
While in New York they quarreled
about something and the brother told
him to go his way and he would do
the same. that henceforth they were to
be strangers. Constantine told his
brother he was agreeable to the plan
and left him, Immediately assuming
another name. He finally found him
self in Arizona many years ago and
has had n varied experience here, hav-
ing lived in several different counties
and having followed many avocations
He has had good jobs and bad ones
and sometimes no job at ALL has
made money and has often spent con-
siderable of it foolishly. Officer Moore
has known him for several years and
has often befriended him when he was
in straitened circumstances, but has
always been repaid for his benefac-
tons
Tuesday morning Fieber was in
Mesa City and picking up The Repub-
lican he saw the somewhat appealing
notice inspired by his nephew in the
army and the ties of consequently ex-
erted a stronger influence than usual
over him. He realized at once that
blood is thicker than water and decid-
ed to come to Phoenix. tell his story
to his friend the chief. who was adver-
Using for him and did not know it.
and ask him TO write to his relative
for him, which the officer of course
viii do.
1t is only another Of the little life
dramas with which the great west is
almost entirely composed. particularly
in the case of the older residents. AL
most every "old timer" has his story
If the world only knew it. and many
of them are much more tragic and
end more painfully. Fieber says he does
not know but believes there is prob
ably some family property left in
which he may have an heirship,
though he is not informed as to
whether his mother is living or dead.

CHARIVARI PARTY
ON THE SCENE TOO LATE
Nothing to Be Done But Congratulate
the Happy Bride and Groom.

On Tuesday night all the acquain-
tances and friends of d. W. Sparks.
in the second ward and some who are
not so very well acquainted with
him turned out to charivari him on
the occasion of his marriage.
About 9 o'clock a large concourse of
citizens on foot, in carriages or mo-
tor cars and on horseback turned out
to celebrate the happy event. They
appeared at the Sparks residence arm
ed with every sort of dissonant in
strument that had ever been in
vented for such OCCASIONS.
At the first blast of the horns and
Arizona republican. [volume] (Phoenix, Ariz.) 1890-1930, 1908-07-23

the first clatter of the cowbells, Mr..
Sparks appeared upon the porch and
when the din had subsidized and when
he had arranged his beard, he ad-
dressed the multitude, thanking his
callers for this mark of esteem and
neighborly feeling. He had hardly
expected such manifestation of
popular sentiment, seeing that the
wedding had been a private affair
and he was therefore all the more
overcome by the outpouring.
A request was made for the pres
ence of the bride and Mrs. Sparks
Joined her husband who again ex-
pressed his qualification at the pres
ence of his friends and well wishers.
Several went forward and shook the
hands of Mr.. Sparks and his bride
and wished them well in their jour
ney through life. There was a large
and eXpectant number in the rear of
the multitude to whom a charivari
is not merely an expression of good
feeling. To them it means cigars,
beer ice cream and such things On
this point, though il had not been
openly presented, Mr.. Sparks regret
ted that there was nothing in the
house to eat. There had been ice
cream, cake and other CONNECTIONS
but the wedding party had devoured
everything and what was
left of the ice cream had melted.
This announcement produced a SEN
sation of gloom and depression, es-
pecially in the younger, more thought
less and less sentimental contingent.
1t was given expression by a small
boy probably Z years old and little
for his age He broke the dense and
painful silence with, "Stung, just
simply stung"

enlargement in filling-in orders by jobbers
is noted, and a few Western points re-
port slightly more buying for fall deliv-

better tone IN the securities markets,

with very easy money, has led 10 a more
confident feeling as 70 the future
