HAS
BRIDE HE ONCE
MOURNED AS ANOTHER'S
Texan Weds Woman Who Wed
Rival on Way to Marry Him,
and Then Cot a Divorce.
Wichita Falls, Tex.-Miek Pappas
neemingly is all tho happier for hav
ing had to nurse his anguish of soul
for several months. lie has tho bride
whom he mourned ns tho wife of
another, and the pretty cottage which
.as built by him and furnished under
the direction of his fiancee, but for all
these months has been desolate, is at
last Is the haven of his Joy.
The bride of Pappas baa but recent
ly been divorced Trom W. C. Buchheit,
a mechanic employed by the M. K. &
T. Railroad at Fort Worth.
Last Spring Pappas, who is a well-to-do
restaurant proprietor, and Mis
Eila Davis went to Forth Worth to
get married. They were accompanies
by a sister of the girl. There thrv
encountered Iluchhelt, a former ad
mirer of Miss Davis, Buchheit, in
tho presence of Pappas, allied Miss
Davis to marry him and she agreed.
With no more delay than was re
quired to obtain the license, the me
chanic and tho promised bride of Pap
r.ns were mado man and wifo hy a
-
ceremony performed publicly in the
Texas & Pacific Hallway station by
a maglatrate.
The Jilted man and the bride's sis
tt. stood on the outer edge of tho
throng witnessing the unusual pro
ceeding, the sister refusing to have
anything to do with tho marriage.
Shortly after tho unexpected wed
ding, Pappas filed suit against Mrs
Buchheit for the return of a diamond
ring he had purchased for his bride-to-be
ho had given her money to buy
TLese were surrendered and tho cou
pie went to housekeeping In furnished
rooms at Fort Worth. Report there
al the time was to the effect that
Pappas and the sister of the bride
would be married upon their return
here, but this did not take place.
The divorce to Mrs. Buchheit was
nhtalned early this month, on the
mound of cruelty, which the husband
did not contest.
As soon as Pappas learned .that
a divorce had been granted, he went
to Fort Worth on what he termed a
hnstneRB trio. He did not remain
long, and on tholr way back to thl
city the two were married at Fred
erlck, Ok. They now occupy the cot
tage which had been built and fur
nished for thorn prior to the contem
plated spring wedding.

Flooding of tho parks on top of the

the parks are higher than the Ride

Some of the playgrounds surround

Texas Cowboy Cured of Stomach
Trouble While at Work In
Meadows on Ranch.
Dalhart, Tex. According to Miko
Keating, a cowboy employed upon the
ranch of J. II. Boyce near her?, no
remedy can begin to compare with a
stroke of lightning for curing slomaeu
trouble and restoring a badly iiu
paired appetite.
Keating was standing hy a wire
fence upon tho ranch recently, when
a bolt came kiting along and knocked
him over. Iiu was unconscious for
several hours, and it was thought for
a time he was done for.
Finally he opened his eyes and look
ed about him and his first words
were:
"Say, you-all, got me something to
eat mighty quick, I'm just about starv
ing." Ir. the group around tho cot was
"cookie," who well remembered the
hard timo he had experienced for many
months in trying to supply Keating'
dainty appetite and not arouse tho
stomach pains of which tho cowboy
was eternally complaining.
"What'll you have a poached egs
and a piece of buttered toast?" In
quired cookie.
I want some real grub. Bring on a
stew ot meat, beans and as much
other fodder as you can stir up."
Keating ate the first big meal he
had been able L stow away for many
months, and. what in more, ho Is
keeping up the gait.

tho left nrmpit to his feet, with a
branch extending across his abdomen,

i STRIKE IS CALLED AS MEANS
OF WINNING. WAGE:
DISPUTE .
Ol'awa newspapers ace being "issued
und-r difficulties to-day as a result ot
a strike of the member:; of Ottawa Ty
pographical Union, which went into
effect last night at. 11:00, without
previous notice to the publishers.
The adjustment of a new wage scale
was taken' up between the employers
and members of the Ottawa : Typo
graphical Union several weeka ago.
The Union demanded an Increase in
wasen of $2.00 a. week for each, mem
ber and a corresponding increase for"
work that Is done by the piece. The
members of the Union took the posi
tion that the increase in the working
scale was necessitated by the high
cost of living, and the employing prin
ters on the other hand contended the
high cost of living affected them just
as much as the employes, and that all
grades of paper used In commercial
printing and print paper used fpr tho
newspaper had increased from 1P0 per
cent, in some instances, and to 200
per cent, and 300 per cent, in others.
The employers also claimed that
they have recently spent thousands
of dollars in improving their plants
and making working conditions -better
for their employes, and that a raise at
this time was unfair and inopportune.
Notwithstanding, however, an-offer
of twenty per cent, increase In the
working scale was mado by the em
p'.Qyers, but tho committee from the
Typographical Union claimed they had
no authority to make any compromise
or o delicti , cny toffer;p( arbitration
or change the scale in any particular.
The publishers requested that the com
mit: ee report bi;ck to their unioa nrt5
ask for authoiity to negotiate a nt
wage scab1, and that the employers
would be willing to meet this commit
tee at any time to make an adjustment
and to avoid any trouble. No notice
of the action of the union upon this re
iu't was received after a lapse of two
weeks, and without any notice whatev
er a strike was called last night.
The matter was immediately report
ed to Marsden Scott, president of the
International Typographical Union,
with headquarters at Indianapolis, and
the conditions leading up to the strike
were laid before him. lie was advised
that the employers w.ere willing to ne
gotiate a new wage scale with the
members of the Typographical Union
or upon failure to do so would submit
the dispute to arbitration.
This morning the employers propos
ed to the men that their differences be
left to an arbitration board for adjust
ment, the board's findings to date from
today, but the men declined arbitra
tion. Choice of Blessings.
The farmer wanted an almanac. The
peddler who laid those veracious chron
icles for sale was very obliging in ex
plaining their virtues. "I have hero
two dillerent almanacs from which you
may choose," he said. . "One of them
contain-: ihe ni'ist holidays, but the

UNEARTHS CIVIL WAR SHELL
Powder Taken From It Found ta B
Effective.
Duke, N. C Dr. F. R. Ruff has
mado a very" interesting find. A few
days ago he was driving past the
scene of the battle of Averasboro and
saw exposed and partly covered a
piece of Iron. He stopped and in
vestigated and discovered that it wa
a sholl used in the war between the
States.
The shell Is about four Inches la
diameter. The opening was stuffed
with something similar to paper.
This being removed, it was found
that the shell was loaded and tho
powder when particles ot it were
r-rread upon a panor and the match
applied, would burn.
