Indianapolis, Aug. 13.. Captain Charles E. Ilujrgins, of the "United States Signal corps, appeared here after an absence of five years on the sea just in time to find that his old sweetheart, Miss F.essie Thompson, was to be married in a few hours to W. II. Connette. She immediately telephoned to Connette that she would not marry him, and arrangements to meet the sailor were made. Believing that the ycung woman was not serious in her announcement, Connette obtained a license and informed his sweetheart of the fact shortly after noon, less than three hours before the ceremony was to take place. Had Been Separated by a Quarrel. The young woman was steadfast in her determination to break the engagement, even at that late hour, however, and the word "void' was written

in large letters upon one page of the marriage license book at the court

house. It seems that a quarrel sepa

Thompson several years ago. lie declared that he would leave Indianapo

did, it would be with another girl as

his bride. He went back to the navy

Thompson admits that she wrote the first letter. After many exchanges of

New Party in Russia That Might

the One That Is Badly NeedecL St. Tetersburg, Aug. 13. A manifesto signed by Count Heyden, Prince Nicholas Lvoff and Michael Stakovich, and Issued cn behalf of the "Party of Tacific Regeneration," says: "The members of the late parliament who have held aloof from the aims of the party of popular freedom have decided

to unite on the basis of a common

programme, their mam object being the creation of a constitutional monarchical state. The regeneration of

Bussia is dependent upon a strong

monarchical power, popular representation and freedom based on the rights and equality of all before the law.

"All nationalities must enjoy equal

political rights and citizenship of the

highest power, and must form a strong constitutional government which.

without arbitrariness but unswervingly destroying the old order of things, must carry into effect the liberties proclaimed by the emperor's manifesto of Oct. ::o. 100.".

"Regarding the agrarian question

this party considers it necessary and

will not hesitate to demand compulsory expropriation of an amount of

private property necessary to create

permanent peasant holdings. This parliamentary group is the enemy of violence and arbitrariness, wheresoever they may emanate. Only through the law can the people's needs be satisfied."

THE NELSON-GANS FIGHT

Preliminary Bet Made to Decide One

of the Privileges of the Umpire.

Goldfield. New, Aug. 13. Nelson and Gans have made a bet which will

decide whether the referee shall be al lowed to touch the men in the break

away or not. Gans wagers $100 that Referee McGuigan used his hands at least once in separating the principals in the Nclson-MeGovern tight at Philadelphia last month. Decision is left

with "Tod" Dorgan, of New York.

If he declares Gans' contention Is

right the article allowing the referee

that privilege will prevail in the Gans.

Nelson fight. Otherwise the referee

may not use his hands. The referee

MYSTERIOUS SHOOTINGS

Two Cases in Which the Shooter Lies

IiOW and the Ones Shot Are Both Dead. Terre Haute, Ind., Aug. 13. Within two days two small boys have died near here from gunshot wounds received mysteriously and which they were not able, owing to prolonged un

consciousness, to tuny explain, lue 'i-year-old son of Bernardo Trucca was found on the porch with a gunshot wound.

Once in the three weeks he lingered he was conscious for a short time and muttered something about another boy accidentally shooting him. The coroner is investigating. Harry Morris. S years old, son of a farmer south of the city, died from a wound received July 21. Frank Kauffman, another boy, says that he.

The Present Ruler. Once on a time the people bowed To kings an3 princes and the sort Of titled and bejeweled crowd Of codgers that you meet at court. But it is very different now; We recognize as truly great And make our best and choicest bow Unto the man who pays the freight. To royalty we do not bend The knee when It is passing: by Or on its smallest wish attend, For we have other fish to fry. Its favor doesn't saw much wood. For it is somewhat out of date; We spend our time in being eood Unto the man who pays the freight. A duke looks pretty in a frame Or to a rich and silly girl Who wants to use an ancient nam To help her In the social whirl. But to the lady who Is wise He isn't such a heavy weight Or for her purposes a prize Beside the man who pays the freight. The rare and sometimes yellow cash Or even tainted dollar bills

That buy at least their weight in hash

And easily the coal bin fills Is what converses pleasantly And reconciles us to our fate. And so we crook the willing knee Unto the man who pays the freight.

Tne Great Amount of Material quired to Meet the Demand

"One of the most generally accepted

but mistaken ideas that are entertained by the people of this country," said a traveling representative of a foreign manufactory of gut strings, "is that

strings used on musical instruments are manufactured from catgut. If that were true the cats in this world would

na-ve oeen exterminated mauv years

ago in supplying the market with ma

terial for musical instrument strings

"The fact is that thev are manufac

tured from the intestines of sheep, and In obtaining enough raw material even from these animals the manufacturers at times find difficulty. "The only string made from the intestines of the feline is that used for surgical purposes for sewing up wounds. One would be amazed to know that there are millions of musical instrument strings used in North

America alone, and just think where the tabbies would be if they had to ; supply the consumption. j "Another amazing thing Is that there j are over 700 different grades of musical Instrument strings. The demand for j strings in North America is increasing j every year, especially in the south and j

in Mexico. There are more guitar strings sold in Mexico than any other kind, but through the south the banjo string is still popular, despite the fact that every year has marked a flight but gradual falling off in the demand." Kansas City Journal.

Good Job to Lose. Just giving an offhand opinion with

out knowing all of the facts in the case we should be inclined to say that

the job of tax collector in Russia dur

ing the present summer would not be

nearly so desirable a one as acting as president of the steel trust. His chances for collecting a choice

assortment of ancient vegetables, noisome eggs pud battered tin cans would be altogether too good to suit us. In the present temper of the people they would be ready to hand him almost anything but money, and the number and variety of jagged edged words they would try out u him would be enough to frighten a person not used to them. Somebody has to be collector, but we do not see how any one could afford to

take the job for a cent less than all the money that he took in, and then where would the czar come in for spending money?
