Joseph Mayer, aged 15 vears, fired fear shots at his father, Dr. Ignatius Mayer, at Twenty-first and Mirket streets, at noon Wednesday, with murderous intent.

Then he got his di- yorce, “But he has falled to discharge hia ob- ligation and that is why I am hunting him.” The doctor’s former wife is said to have been an heiress when he met her on a Steamer bound for New York. She married him and, sharing in his ambition, spent her money liberally for his advancement. His love grew cold when he prospered and he went away. She is reported to be living in want in id street, New York City, with four emall] children.

THE NEIGHBORHOCD TALKING ABOUT HER. Wcman Is Ladylike in Demeanor and Both Appear *c Be Anxiously Watching for Some One. While the people are wrought up over the Cabanne mystery, there comes another in the neighborhood of Thirgy-second and Washington avenue. The incident has been sustained past three weeks and has some curious features con- nected with it. There are two mysteries, In fact—a wom- an and a man. Some three weeks ago they were first seen standing talking on the corner of Compton and Washington avenues, They appeared there regularly for three or four days, sitting on the church steps, or stand- ing on the corner, deep in conversation, with their faces always turned north on Compton to Morgan. Suddenly they disappeared as they came and the inhabitants forgot the circum- stance. He offered no resistance and ac-|! hysician | Last Friday the interest was all revived by the sight of the “mystery in blue,” as the neighbors call her, reappearing at 7 o’clock if the morning. She stood at the church door all day and part of the time the young man kept her company. She always carries a newspaper or roll of paper in her hand and on several oc- easions she was seen to walk.up.Compton toward Morgan street, handing the young man the roll of paper befo™ going, and then returning in a few moments and walt- ing for him while he went away. Miss Holly of 3211 Washington avenue ‘T noticed the woman standing at the corner Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The woman always goes up Washington avenue when she leaves, and on rare occa- sions the young man goes with her. They seem lost in conversation, and take no notice of people or their surroundings. “The woman appears to be severai years older than the man. She looks 25 years and he about 21. She is always dressed precisely the same, in a blue lawn dress, trimmed with white lace, with white belt and sailor hat with blue veil around it. She has blacke hair and eyes and a bad fig- ure, being somewhat cea for her sgstat- ure, which is rather small, She is quiet and genteel in her demeanor. The young man always seems to be smoking cigar- ettes, and is dressed immaculately. Hig clothes are of good material and well kept. Both wear an air of mystery and anxiety, Whatever they are seeking, or wherever the mystcry lies, it is between Washin rton and Morgan on Comptan. No matter how interested they are in their talk, their gaze is always turned anxiously toward the north.” That the mysterious woman ia thorough- 7 human was shown by the fact that on Sunday night about 9 o'clock, just after she took her periodical trip to Morgan street, she came back and left him on the corner while she went into the drug store and treated hergeif to soda water. He gazed at her through the window from his corner, while she drank the soda; and he still gazed while she also paid for it, which shows that he is a mystery of the most mysterious kind.

SHOWERS WILL FALL, SAYS FRANKENFIELD. MERCURY LOWER TO-DAY, BUT THE HUMIDITY IS MORE EXCESSIVE. OTHER CITIES SUFFERED GREATLY YESTERDAY.

It is much cooler to-day than yesterday, and by this evening the decline in the temperature will be marked.’’—Forecaster Franken- field. The cool wave promised by Weather Wizard Frankenfield is arriving in St. Louis by degrees. At least ten of these had reached the city by mid-forenoon Wednes- day, and the breezes which blew cooled the hot brows of a grateful people. Mr. Frankenfield has returned from his trip to the North. It is a matter of per- sonal felicitat on with him that h\s arrival im the city was simultaneous with that of lower temperature, and the probability that he went up and brought the cold wave down may be taken for what it is wortn. The residue of the co6l wave, Mr. Frank- enfield says, will have arrived in the city by night. It will be accompanied by a con- siderable flight of clouds, and there will be a tendency .toward : through the night. Thursday will be fair. The sufferings to which Tuesday’sg hot sun subjected the people of St. Louis were not more severe than those of other cities. The maximum temperature here was $4 and Chicago, with all her boasted lake breezes and her nearness to the North Pole, was as hot to the very degree. At Cincinnati it was also 94. In New York the maximum temperature was 86, at New Orleans 92, at Galveston 90, at Omaha 82, at Salt Lake City 88, at St. Paul 72 and at Kansas City, which seems to have been the hub and core of the meiting monsoon of yesterday, it was as high as 96. The proportion of moisture tn the atmos- phere, Mr. Frankenfield says, is excep- tionally heavy. HE WAS NOT MATTIES. Oe Ninth Wrong Man Arrested as the Murderer of Senator Wall.

He circulated freely among the delegates. At the same time Wallace Love of Kansas City was at work for the sume office.

Col. Kerens = slip quietly around, scarcely attracting @ny at- tention ; But meanwhile, he was working and i; was but a few minutes until the St, Louls- wey, the attending the convention is Capt. Tom Jen- kins of Springfield. Capt. lom always hasan office of some kind. No matter whether the Filleyites or the Kerensites are on top in Springfleld, he manages to have some kind of a public place. For many yenrs he was City License Inspector, and he has not missed a Republican Convention, State or National, within the last 15 yeara., John Albus, Jr., of the Fourth District is one of the prominent figures in the con- vention. Albus gained distinction a few years ago by making the race for dele- gate to a National Republican Convention against the late A. C, Dawes, general pas- senger agent of the Burlington Ralilroad. At that time Albus was only a beardiless boy and Col, Lbawes was a power in Républican State politics. Everybody said Col. Dawes would be chosen. But the youthful Aibus fooled ‘em all and went to the National Convention in triumph. He is a brother of Joe Albus and the pair have for several] years been Filley’s chief lieutenants tarough the Fourth District and other parts of Northwest Missouri. Somebody remarked at the opening of the convention that it would not be complete without the presence of Gen, Billy Ryder. Just about that time the distinguished form of the General loomed up at the entrance to Music Hall , + An amusing incident occurred at the matn entrance to the convention hall when Col. Horacé Williams of Springfield, member of the State Central Committee, stood iook- ing in. A pert young doorkeeper asked Col. W illiame if he was guarding the door. Col. Villlams made no reply and walked away. unanimous | , He found the Sergeant-at-arms and report- tic doorkeeper'’s insolence. A few min- later the doorkeeper was hunting Col. ‘iliiams to make an apology. Hereafter will know Col. Willigms when he sees there is no denying that the elec- ion of Akin was due to Kerens-Ziegenheir nanipulation, there are politiclans who see mn it defeat for Kerens after all. inasmuch had to make a turn of some kind to : himself from being thrown down by Ziegenhein, who stood ready at any time to desert Morsey for the country candidate seeming to have more strength. tUnele Hienry wants to be Governor jn 1900. that is, he wants the Republican nomination and he t# very glad to cl mb in the coun- band wagon. Relations between Ker- and Ziegenhein are not likely to be al henceforth, as W rye happen- | iis have showh that the relat Onship be- , murderer “jij hlleve tween them Was not of a stable character. i Ziegenhein seems to have thrown Kerens down just as he did Filley, because he has concluded,’ with or without cause, that he is about as powerful as e.ther. and that he Ww muld better look out for Ziegenhein alone. The Kansas City to se aA common expression. on a unt of the way Wallace Love turned down. The Kansas Cityans refer the St. Loulsans as a “‘Dutch”’ dele@a. tion, and it was stated during recess that before the convention ends there will he fome caustic speeches, In which the Ger- element of Missouri Republicanism ored | ‘reis a negro at St. Joseph whose name is Jeremiah Grider. ard he is locally known bridegroom, kalsominer and politician.

This diversion is amusing and breaks the monotony of the ordinary hooting and yelling so eomnfon in conventions. Homer Parrott, a Delegate to the Obio Convention.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2&4.—The diamonds which it is believed “‘Dolly’’ Reynolds wore when she was murdered occupies the at- tention of the detectives. The Central office has not secured @ single clew which promised to clear up the mystery of the bludgeon, and so they let It drop temporarily, and the detectives devoted themselves to searching for the jewelry. Incidentally, they tried to learn some- thing more about the bogus check, al- though they have decided to wait until the experts in handwriting make their report before making any very determined effort to establish its connection with the tragedy. The report of Mr. Ames and Mr. Car- valho may show that the handwriting on the check is that of three different persons. To fhe unskilled eye this appears to be true. The name “Emma Reynolds” is to- tally different from the handwriting of “Dudley Gideon,”’ and neither bears any resemblance apparently to Dr. Kennedy's aignature on the back of the check. “he detectives have hoped that the dila- monds which were taken from ‘Dolly” Reynolds might be found in a pawnshop. They have impressed pawnbrokers particu- larly with the importance of reporting any diamonds of considerable size which may be offered as piedges, If Dr. Kennedy can be connected with the diamonds it would make the case against him look very black indeed. The natural inference. would be that robbery was the motive for killing the young woman. The Central Office men do not share the , doubts of Capt. McClusky and Capt. Price of the West Thirteenth Street Station. The detectives Delleve that Dr. Kennedey is the of “Dolly” Reynolds. hey be- that he carried the diamonds away with him when he left the Grand Hotel early Tuesday mornirg. They do not think he haa offered them for sale, because it would attract attention. They think he has | hidden them. On Wednesday and Thursday of last week they made a careful search of his office and his home at New Dorp. They were seeking anything which might shed light upon the tragedy, but they were searching for the missing gems particularily. They found no trace of them. Now they lean toward the theory that he buried the diamonds on his way home on Tuesday morning. It will be remembered that Dr. Kennedy said in his iast state- ment—the one the detectives believe—that he took the 3:40 boat for Clofton, and that he walked from there through to his home in New Dorp. (‘entra! office men followed the road they helleve Dr Ke nnedy passe! over on Tues- day mornirg. They looked for placea where the diamonds might bave been busted. They reasoned that they would be placed not very far from his house, where are a hun- dred admirable hiding places. So they threshed through the woods ali day lone. but not a single thing di@ they discover. The search was an utter failure. witl not give it up. If Dr. Kenredy’a connection with bludgeon or the dlamondse cannot be eatab- lished the case against him remains legally very weak. ee ee DEMOCRATS ORGANIZING.

She was taken Into custody at Stockton. Cal., last night, and brought here to-day. As soon as the proper legal papers arrive will be taken across the contl- nent to Delaware to answer to the charge of murder. So far make a she the accused woman declines to statement of what would be her defense. She said this morning: “I feel very well and am quite ready to go. 1 have gotten past ell the humiliation of the charge. I am ready to meet it.” Speaking of Dunning she called him “Jack.” “Poor, dear little Jack," she said, “how my heart goes out to him tn all this trouble. He is to be pitied... Dear little fel- low. OO, the trony of fate! Think what It would be if I should next meet Jack Dun- ning in a courtroom.” Mra. Botkin dwelt at length on Mr. Dun- ning'’s dissipated habits, muca so that ehe was finally asked if she would really care to link her life with a man so dissipat- ed, Mrs, Botkin started suddenly, exclalming: “Why, that thought never occurred to me. I could assert that in ( ourtroom, couldn't I?” “But then, again,” she sald hesitatingly, “what if iater en I should marry him? What if we should yet come together—-would Suspicion then be direcied at me more sirongly? Might not the strong arm of the law then be laid upon me, even after a lapse of time?” &O a Mr. Botkin etoutly asserts the Innocence of his wife. Detective Gibson, who assisted in the ar- rest of Mra, Kotkin, states that he has no warrant for the arrest of any othe? woman. lie thinks that Mrs. Botkin will break down and has taken precautions to prevent from committing sulcide. She was much agitated when told that she would have Stand trial on a charge of murder, eo0on recovered herself and said that charge would have to be proved.

Judge Thomas Jefferson Mackay, heart crusher and alleged bigamist, has fled from this city with his beautiful young wife a weeping prisoner. As told in yesterday's dispatches to the Post-Dispatch Mackey was once a prom- inent South Carolina jurist. His firat wife was divorced from him and his second, not yet divorced, wunts him arrested for aban- donment, after making away, as she al- leges, With $7000 belonging to her. He re- talbates by saying this wife is no wife, as she had a living husband when she married him. In establishing this claim he finds his only hope of escaping prison or a shot- gun, as it is said that Col. George Porter- field of Charleston, W. Va., father of the latest Mrs. Mackey, has given him a lim- ited number of days or at best freedom, in which to establish his innocence of bigamy. The prominence of the Porterfields, the Spottswoods, to one of whom the girl was engaged, and the probability of additional development, makes the affair of the Mack- eys interesting. Beautiful is not an extravagant term in which to refer to the present Mrs. Mackey. She was Katharine Porterfield, famed all over her native State for attractiveness. To-day she is cowed and shrinking, trem- bling before the gaze of Mackey, who ex- erts a Svengali influence over her that she cannot resist. When a Post-Dispatch re- porter saw them together she was all loy- alty to her husband, confirming al) his statements about her knowledge of his mar- riages before their wedding, expressing love and confidence in him. hey were then about to depurt for a more congenial clime, as an officer was expected any moment. The door had hardly closed on Mackey, who went in search of a cab, leaving his wife not a prisoner for the first time since theyweached New York. Instantly the girl confessed that she had not told the truth, but was he Ipless to talk differently In the presence of her husband, Said she: “It is not true that I knew Judge Mackey was already a margged man when 1 was bound to him. Wlgle I was boarding in Washington last J@ne he came to live at the same house. He began to pay court to me at once. He was the most devoted lover Il ever saw. Judge Mackey has spent his life in devotions to women. He knows how to captivate them. Without interrup- tion he cent me ftowers, candies, books, Eieteres, everything.

He flushed, and exploded with anger. ‘What, cdo you suspect me, I swear that I never had a wife before,” he exclaimed dramat- ie ally “He followed me to Charleston. After two weeks my mother said that elther I must marry Judge Mackey or that he must leave Cassilis, our home in Charleston. My slater, Mrs. Washington, erid: “ ‘Why don't you.marry the Judge, Kath- arine, or let him go.’ “So I gave up Mr. Spottswood. He was «a college student. He is now in San Francia- co.

Stephens’ new Police Commissioner told the Democratic City Central Committee that he favored appoint- ing to the police torce only’ Democrats who were approved by the ward and precinct committeemen he gave the Stephens administration in St. Louis a long push towards perdition. Three years ug¢o the people of St. Louis never dreamed of politics in the Police Department. The management had not been urtainted by scandals, but no Police Board dared make the police force an attac®ment to the party machine. Such an abuse of police power was never hinted at until Gov. Stephens obtained contrei of the board, ut the descent to the lower regions is easy and = rapid. From the domination of the personal pull and the assessment of patroimen for party purposes, it is an easy glide to the control of police appointments by party committeemen and ward workers. With this sten the degradation of the Police Department to the uses and aluses of polities will be complete. The condl- tion of the department when patrolmen secure and hold their places by favor of the lowest element in city politics may be imagined. Police Commissioner Hawes young and inexperienced, and perhaps does not realize the enormity or the inevitable consequences of the criminal blunder he proposes. There a limit to the patience of the people. The attempt t» turn the police force into a party machine Will result disastiously to the © -—poratic party. It will bring about a revolution in police management in St. Louts. The people will demand protection from partisan abuse of police power, They will have home rule or a bi-partisan board. is is ee eee ee eee The harmony in the Republigfan party which the organs are harping abou. seems, as Bil Nye said of Wagner's music, to be better thin it sounds. -_—- -+-~+-—#@ ADMIRAL AND VICE-ADMIRAL.

How long must American soldiers starve in sight of plenty? The heroes at Montauk Point who went to Cuba to fight for their country and were brought back stricken with pestilence after winning a great Victory are begging their bread. The reports which come from the Long Island camp are incredible, They would not be believed if they were not well Suthenticated from many sources. We are told that many of the soldiers “stand around the lunchroom of the railroad com- pany hear the station and watch their opportunity to pick up and @at the remnants of a sandwich or drain the few drops of milk that may be left ina glass.”’ This is atrocious.

In his letter to the New York World on the naval peace parade, ex-Secretary of the Navy Herbert wrote: “Santiago was not a strategic point. Its capture and the capture of 20,- 000 soldiers decided nothing. It was the completé. destruction of Spanish power on the high seas that settied the question.” Mr. Herbert tuuches the core of the lessons of the war. The result was a timely and practical demonstration of the truth of the theory of the dominant influence of sea power. With her navy destruyed Spain was powerless. It must always be so ina war between nations separated by seas. When the destinies of the world were decided on the conti- nent of EBurops, where the boundaries of nations were arbi- trary lines, armies determined the issue. We have clung blindly to European traditions. The big army as an instru- ment of international predominance has become a supersti- tion. We-forge: that the cénter of conflict has shifted to the New World, where the highways are on the water. We need no big standing army to maintain our own. We can have no contact with European nations except by water. We can accomplish every end, except, perhaps, those of actual conquest and subjugation, which can have no place in an American programme, by means of naval power. We need not fcar effective invasion with a navy to protect our coasts. A small military establishment for garrison duty and as a nucleus for an army of well-trained citizen soldiery, to be called upon in an emergency, is sufficient for our needs. The navy is not, like a standing army, a menace to the liber- ties of the people. It is effective only against enemies. There The increase should stop at a moderate figure. ooo The Post-Dispatch fought against the degradation of Jeffer- son Barracks to an inferior place among army posts. The probability that it will now be made a first-class post will be received by Post-Dispatch readers with satisfaction. No loca- tion in the entthie country offers greater advantages for a military post of the highest rank. standing army. LOVE YOUR ENEMIES The annals of war do not contain anything like the letter to the soldiers of the American Army from the 11,000 Spanish soldiers, prisoners of war at Santiago. About to en:bark for their native land, they send their “most cordial and sincere good wishes and farewell” to their foes of yesterday. They acknowledge the courtesy and kind- ness of the Americans, who have won their hearts and con- quered th@ir affections. This is most remarkable, but it is not the only pleasing in- cident of the war. Admiral Cervera’s generous treatment of Lieutenant Hobson and his men will never be forgotten. He gent a flag of truce to the American Admiral to assure him ofthe safety of the young hero and compliment the American nation for his splendid courage. When Cervera and jis offi- cers reached this country they were received rather as guests of the nation than prisoners. Everywhere they received the most kindly aitentions. Such courteous exchanges are not usual in war. Their effect will be far reaching and permanent. Americans and Spaniards understand each other better now. They will be friends hence- forth, for they know each other's good qualities. Thus war waged on sound principles works for permanent peace. -#oe- a8 Sooner or later representatives of every calling and condi- tion in life may find some .excellent advik nh the breezy articles of Ella Wheeler Wilcox, published daily in the Post- Dispatch.

The odds offered against the winner were #0 to 1, Since the day that Chaos cantered home for the $4,000 Futurity of 1889, there has never been such a complete collapse of pub- lic form as was seen at Sheepshead bay yesterday afternoon. On public form the Fleischmann entry, Dr. Eichberg and Sir Hubert; the Madden entry, Gienhelm, Scanneil and Rhinelander, and A. J. Joyner’s Autumn were cons.dered to have the race between them, and con- sequently carried the ducats of the 15,000 people who went down to the shore io see the great race. ; As a matter of history, not a single one of the six horse# named succeeded in break- ing into the money, which was divided in the following ratio among the following horses: Martimas, $37,130. High Degree, $4883. Mr. Clay, $2417. The betting prices against the trio were 40 to 1, 10 to 1, and W to 1, respectively. The bookmakers reaped a harvest and the talent was burnt so badly that it will for- swear the Futurity—until its next renewal | wal knock would be in 1899. to the record odds offered against the winner, there were other rec- ords smashed in the race for the Dblne rib- bon of the 2-year-old division. fhe /lic.d of 23 outnumbered any other that ever faced the flag for former Futurities, and the de- lay at the post, one hour and thirty-two minutes, beat any record established In addition in any country.

Infatuation for a woman is responsible for Edward Fink being behind prison bars. The influence she wielded over him made him forget honor and all else. It caused him to betray a position of trust and be- come a confessed thief in order that he might win smiles and approval from her. Now that he is in trouble and a term ot imprisonment is staring him in the face Zoe Livingstone, who is responsible for his downfall, calmly views her work, and if she has any regret it is carefully con- cealed. She speaks of him in the most matter of fact way, says carelessly that she is sorry he is in trouble and admits Zoe Livingstone will lose no sleep because of the ending of Fink's career. She will weave more webs and more moths will become entangled in the meshes. Fink was a bookkeeper for the Mermd- Jaccard Jewelry Co. He was arrested Tues- Gay night at his boarding house, 2113 Lo- cust street, by Private Detective Tom Fur- Fink to call. There were a number of tele- grams signed Ella. A reporter saw Fink in the holdover Wednesday morning. He was nervous, he said, having passed a sleepless night. “Yes, I am guilty, just as the manager for Mermod & Jaccard says I am,” Fink said. “I do not know how much I took. I do not know when I began taking things. It was love for a woman that prompted me to steal. ' “I am now 2 years old and came to th!s country from Austria eight years ago. My father is a wealthy grain merchant at Prague, Austria. I was well educated and was graduated, when I was 16. I could not get along with my people and came to the United States.

BAKER GIVES IMPORTANT TESTIMONY. fAYS BETTY THREATENED THAT HER BROTHER WOULD MURDER “JIM.” FIRST STORY TOLD BY AN EYE-WITNESS. Dramatic Scene When the Widow Pointed Her Hand at the Slayer of Her Husband—She Was Present at Shooting. Inquiry into the shooting that caused the death of James Baker of 505 Ridge avenue, Sunday evening, was begun before Deputy Coroner Lioyd at 10 o’clock. Wednesday morning. Baker was shot by Campbell Allgaier, a neighbor, after a quarrel. The case attracted great attention, and when the prisoner was brought up the police had to force an entrance into the Coroner's office. Mrs. Baker, the dead man’s widow, her usual paleness accentuated by the widow’s weeds, was present. She is a comely blonde, and the suffering of the last week has left deep circles under her eyes, and her mouth appears unnaturally drawn. She was accompanied by her sisters, Miss Irene Johnson, who has been her companion and shield against the public since the tragedy, and Clara Johnson, a 14-year-old miss of determined mien and unusual composure, Allgaier sat close to the witness stand during the session, an interested listener, Now and then he would speak to his attor- ney, Mr. Bass, suggesting a question or denying some part of the Bakers’ testi- mony. Mrs. Baker was the first witness. Her testimony was given in a low voice that was kept steady by an evident effort. She said on the evening of the shooting she was in the yard of her home with her husband and two sisters. It was about 10 o'clock, she thought, that she saw Alligaier approaching. Mr. Baker rose from beside her and went to the gate to meet Allgatier. “My husband met Mr. Allgaier at the gate,’ she said, “and they immediately be- gan talking about Miss Betty Allgaier. I distinctly heard her brother say, ‘I want you to stop talking about my-sister. ‘“‘My husband made some reply that I did not catch and then. tried to convince Mr. Allgaier that we were not trying to harm the girl or injure her reputation in the neighborhood. Jim tried to make him un- derstand that ehe was not only disturbing had no terrors for her. She was there to tell of the shooting of her brother-in-law, and she meant to tell it. After Dr. Lloyd led her past the name and address Miss Clara took the reins in ner own hands and spurned further coach- g. She said she was in the yard when All- gaier came up the street. t was she who told Baker of the visitor’s presence. Her testimony did not differ in the main from that of Mrs. Baker. She saw her brother-in-law leave Altll- gaier, heard him called back, -gaw him Start away the second time, saw the flashes of fire and was at the deathbed. Coroner Lloyd asked if there was a fight or heated quarrel when the men met. The girl declared there was not. The last words she said she heard before tlge shots came were, ‘“‘You’re not the man I want to talk to,” given in Baker’s voice as he turned to re-enter his gate. She knew of no previous threats. Miss Irene Johnson, the elder sister of the tected Mrs. Baker from annoyance from the public and at the same time kept the de- tailed story of the tragedy a secret, was next called. She was the fourth occupant of the yard and the third and last eye witness, She heard Baker tell Aligaier that his sis-@" was mistaken in her accusations, and Au.- gaier’s reply was that “he knew the John- sons were talking.’”’ These are the only words she says she heard. She believes two shots were all that were red, Mrs. Fannie E. Tidwell, the wife of Rev, A. T. Tidwell, lives at 57 Ridge avenue, next door to the Bakers. As she came up the street that night from church, she testi- fied, she saw Allgaier on his porch. A few she recognized Allgaier in dashed from Baker's eate. Rev. well said all this, too, adding that he heard Miss Betty Allgaier exclaim: “I am glad of it. I hope he will die."’ Harry N. Westcott of 039A Ridge avenue started to go out for a walk that night, he said, when his wife, knowing of the differ- ences between Miss Betty Allgaier and the Bakers, and recognizing Campbell All- gaier’s figure coming down the street, called him back. “She was-afraid there was going to be trouble,” said Westcott, “and I told her I would wait and see. Just about that time I saw two flashes and heard two shots, I rushed up the street and met Miss Jennie Johnson and Mrs. Baker. “Jim was standing in the yeard near the gate. I said to him: ‘Jim, what’s the mat- ter?’ He leans against the gate post and says: ‘I’m shot. Allgaier did it. Then I helped him into the house and ran for a doctor. After that I was too much ex- cited to know much of anything. Westcott admitted that he had heard of trouble between the Baker and Alligaier families over Miss jetty Allgaler, and somebody had told him_ that Mrs. Baker had once caused Campbell Allgaier’s arrest. Misses Mary Clifton and Ella Mason stop at 5057 Ridge avenue, the home of Dr. Tid- well. Both heard shots and say they saw Aligaier going hurriedly toward his home after it was over. They saw nothing of the actual deed. E. C. Cutwell of 5022 Ridge ayenue got there after the shooting. but had heard of trouble brewing between the families. John J. Shulte of 5044 Ridge avenue testi- fied that he was with Patrolman Thomas O’ Meara, the officer on that beat, one even- ing a few weeks ago when a stranger cameé up and asked, ‘“‘Have you seen Baker? “The officer told him he had not,’ sald Shulte. ‘“‘and the fellow said he was going to shoot him if he didn’t stop something that I did not understand. “When he was zone O'Meara told me that was Campbell Allgaier.”’ Shulte had not seen the stranger since and said he would not recognize him again. WwW. J. McBirney of 5048 Ridge avenue told - our peace but that of our neighbors as well. ‘“‘Aligaier made some response and my husband turned to leave. The other called him yo are —then Allgaier snot. “How many times?” asked Dr. Lloyd. “I think three shots were fired, but only two took effect.” a “Where was your husband? “He was coming in the gate.

Dr. W. B. Loftus, the next witness, was called to attend the wounded man. He said he found two wounds. One in the right arm and another—the fatal one—in the back, behind the sixth and seventh rib and two Inches to the right of the spinal column.

Mrs. MAry BOLLINGER, 1101 Marianna St., Chicago, lll., to Mrs. Pinkham: ‘‘IT have been troubled for the past two years with falling of the womb, leucorrhoea, pains over my body, sick headaches, backache, nervousness and weakness... I tried doctors and various remedies without relief. After taking two bottles of your Vegetable Com- pound, the relief I obtained was truly wonderful. I have now taken several more bottles of your famous medicine, and can say that Iam entirely cured.” Mrs. Henry Dorr, No. 806 Findley St., Cincinnati, Ohio, to Mrs. Pinkham: ‘‘For a long time I suffered with chronic inflammation of the womb, pain in abdomen and bearing-down feeling. Was very nervous at times, and so weak I was hardly able to do any- thing. Was subject to headaches, also troubled with leucorrhea. After doc- toring for many months with different physicians, and getting no relief, I had given up all hope of being well again when I read of the great good Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com- pound was doing. I decided immedi- ately to give ita trial. The result was simply past belief. After taking four bottles of Vegetable Compound and using three packages of Sanative Wash I can say I feel like a new woman. I RESERVES THE RIGH Now Being Given, To Withdraw, the Free Month Offer by Pub- lication—What These “Days of Grace,” Mean. In giving these “days of grace,” Doctors Copeland and Thompson reserve the right to withdraw the Free Month offer at any time by announcement in these col- umns. The time limit had to be waived by such an announcement to relieve the strain ,upon the offices. The unprece- dented crowding in of the people toward the close of the month could have been met in no other way. Doctor Copeland promised, by announcement in these col- umns, that a few “days of grace” would be given, and asked that the people wait until then and thus relieve the pressure upon physicians and offices. Obe- dient to the promise, these days of grace are being given now, and still the people are crowding in beyond all precedent or ex- pectation. DoctoreCopeland’s promise an- ticipated only a few days under this offer, and he is justified in reserving the right to withdraw it without definite time Imit by simple announcement. Until this an- nouncement, and during these “Days of Grace,’’ Doctor Copeland’s promise will be kept to the letter to all, and— All applying for treatment and all renewing treatment will receive one month’s medicine and treatment free— that is, during one whole month they will be treated and supplied with med- icine absolutely without pay or com- pensation of any kind. PARENTS GRATEFUL FOR THE CURE OF THEIR BOY’S DEAFNESS. CALEDONIA, Mo., July 19, 1898. This is to certify that our son, Will- lam J. Henderson, at the age of 6, was attacked with Scarlatina, which caused one of his ears to rise, followed with running of the ear and deafness in that ear. His head was very badly affected. At the least cold he would sneeze and cough, his head, nose and throat being all stopped up. As he was young, for several years we hoped he would outgrow It, but we finally con cluded he had Catarrh. We consulted our family physician, who treated him for awhile. He also took patent medicine, but with only temporary relief. At 12 years of age he was no better. Our friends advised us to consult a specialist. M>. W. R. Read of Bellview, Mo., had been cured of deafness by Doctor Copeland. Mr. Read was so deaf that before the cure he had to give up his store. and he advised us to write Doctor Copeland for treatment. We did so, and at the end of three months there was not much change, except our son had not hada severe cold since beginning the treatment, though it was midwinter. At the end of five months the trouble seemed to be gone and the treatment was discontinued, and now after another month there is no ques- tion but what he is cured. He is strong and hearty and in the best of health, thanks to the treatment of Doctor Cope- land. (Signed) G. G. HENDERSON. MRS. G. G. HENDERSON, REV. MR. MARTIN’S SEVERE BRONCHIAL TROUBLE. Rev. J. F.

They were brought to the Fourth District Station, where they gave their names as Pat French, John Jones, Frank Williams, William Sawyer, James Johnson, Frank Hudson, John Wilson, William Taylor, Hestor Stanford.,and Harry Edwards, The persons were charged with aiding and abetting a policy shop. After the officers had rounded up these men they went on the scent a second time and took possession of a veritable Monte Carlo at the residence of Henry Hetzel, 2816 Easton avenue. The men were arrested, Some of them were caught at poker, others at crapshooting, while a third coterie were engaged in fixing a “policy’’ blackboard for the next day's patronage. ‘Games of all kinds have been spreading along Easton avenue, and we have deter- mined to put a stop to them,” said the Captain, “Residents out there have com- . plained bitterly of negroes moving into the neighborhood and starting their infernal policy shops.

TEN IMPORTED WORKERS ESCORTED TO THE LIMITS. Officers Are Armed With Winchesters and Coburn Declares That, How- ever Unwilling, They Will Be Compiled to Obey. Special to the Post-Dispatch. PANA, Ill, Aug. %4.—Sheriff Coburn as- sembled his 125 deputies at the City Hall at 8 o'clock this morning, swore all of them in, gave them instructions and armed all of them with Winchesters, Ten negroes and Italians arrived in the city last night, but were escorted to the limits by a committee of miners and in- duced to leave town. The strikers are being reinforced hourly from over the State, and it is estimated that fully 3000 men will be here by Thurs- day morning. The miners are assembled near the track of the Illinois Central in large bodies awaiting arrival of the negroes, The special Illinois Central train arrived at Pana at 8:45 o’clock from Birmingham, Ala., with 200 negroes, The train was rushed through the city at 2% miles per hour to the Springside coal mine, outside the city limits, where the negroes were unloaded under guard of deputy sheriffs Several hundred miners were at TUnion Depot to meet the imported men and talk with them, but were refused the privilege by Sheriff Coburn. All grounds at Spring- side Mine are under heavy guard and no citizens are permitted to pass the lines on penalty of being shot. The strike leaders are in communication with Gov. Tanner and have asked him to inquire into the efficiency of the negroes and he has answered that he will send the State Mine Inspectors to examine them. Sheriff Coburn, in an authorized interview, says: “We apprehend no danger of any conse- Quence, but ere prepared if any rioting should occur; in any case, we foresee no bloodshed, and think the matter wil] be handled within the law. There may be some minor outbreaks, but nothing of any serious nature.”’ ; One hundred men have been deputized for duty. These deputies are made up of busi- ness and professional men in the city. There are many who waver, and in a local daily paper, Sheriff Coburn ingerted the following notice: “By the power invested in me, I, Ira Co- burn, Sheriff of Christian County, State of Illinois, hereby command all deputies to as- semble at the City Hall in Pana Wednesday morning at 8 o'clock sharp. No excuses will be accepted. By order of “IRA COBURN, Sheriff.” An indignation meeting was held last night in the City Hall Park. There was a ee crowd present.

Sheriff Coburn and a number of é4:puties were on hand to keep the peace and free that nothing was said or done to incite riot or violence. CC, C.

They wilt have all the miners of those dis- tricts here to-night. ‘Taylorville, Mowea- qua, Assumption, Sandoval and Coffeen miners are now said to be on their way here. An interview with the negroes devel- oped that there are many union labor men among them, and some say that they were induced to come here by the statement tbat they were to be taken to Chicago to work in steelworks. Shortly after the arrival of negroes, de- Spite the guards, the union miners suc- ceeded in Inducing a number to leave Spring- side camp, These negrocs met in session with the union miners at their hall and Stated publicly that they had been mis- led by Operators Overholt and Broehl, and declared their intention to return home. . The miners provided food for the nerroes as fast as they left the camp. Ignorant biacks, half frightened to death, were seen Shedding tears and Pleading to be per- mitted to pass the deputies’ lines and leave the city. The un‘on miners have agreed to pay the fare of the negroes to return hone to Alabama, and fully expect all to leave the city by Thursday night. “In view of the past, present. and pros- ective conditions, the acquisition of the andwich Islands was a naval necessity | and a commercial convenience. : “We should complete, own and control | the Nicaragua Canal and improve ail oiher avallabie means of rapid, world-wide com- munication so that our Ameri ‘an citizens armed with spelling books and the Golden Rule, can easily go into all the world, and | | eoespt and example preach the g£Oapel 0 liberty to every creature.”’ He advised insiatence upon the free ver Issue, eulogized Bryan, invelghed | against (rusts, opposed a larger kianding army, but declared for a greater navy A The resolutions adopted reaffirm the Cai- cago platform and say: “We particularly f{ndorse the lank therein deciaring for the fre« imited golnage of sliver and ratio of 16 to other nations. “We are proud of the patriotie peace and war of that great lead Bryan, and wy, for Presilent in ise he platform favors an thanks the minority in & f Mather SIAthow,”’ 9 SX also made by Brothers Rachere ney, Motan and Hoolan of Holy Name - Sr i\a by a grand } Councils of Active the Senior and Council.

SAVE DOCTOR BILLS Better Than Blood. Puri- fiers and Nerve Tonics Is the New Remedy for Dys- pepsia and Indigestion. Better, Because Peffect Diges- tion Makes Pure Blood and Strong Nerves.

Whether we eat to live ordive to eat, it js certain that the possession of 4 healthy stomach and sound digest:on go a long way toward making life desirable, successful, enjoyable. Beauty in women, strength, mental capacity, endurance in man, depend more upon vigorous digestion than upon any other one thing. The dyspeptic man is Irritable, fearful of the future. The dyspeptic woman is ner- vous, sallow, subject to headaches and des- pondency. And what fs the cause of theae’ common types of men and women? Simply, undi- gested food, nothing more nor less. The ap- petite being capricious, not enough fvod is eaten, and what is eaten, instead of being perfectly digested, remains {n the stomach for hours, a sour, fermenting mass, poison- ing the blood, a source of irritation to every nerve and.organ. No wonder people suffer from poor blood, shattered nerves, head- aches, palpitating hearts, irritable tempers and gloomy, discontented feelings. Now, what is the rational cure for this common conditions? Is it “blood purifiers” and “‘nerve tonics?’ By no means, because they don’t reach the seat of the trouble. Go to the fountain head, the stomach, get that in good, healthy working order, and pure blood, strong nerves, brignt eyes, clear color will-be the natural result. Why not? Where does blood, nerve, bone, sinew and flesh come from anyway, if not from the stomach, the food we eat and di- gest? To cure digestion, the one thing necessary is to give the stomach a rest or partial rest by the daily use for a time of some remedy which will digest food. There is a very excellent preparation of this kind, not a marvelous secret paten? medicine, but a pleasant, harmless combina- tion of vegetable essences, fruit salts, pure pepsin anu Golden Seal, sold by druggists under the name of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tab- lets, and nothing to equal it has yet been produced in the whole category of patent medicines. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is superior to them all, because when these tablets are used you know what you are taking into your stomach. No secret is made of their composition and physicians and chemists know that one grain of the digestive prin- ciple In Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets wil] ai- est 3000 times its own weight of wholesome ood. Dr. Johnson recommends them high- ly, not only as a cure for indigestion, put also because they increase flesh by increas- ing nutrition. Dr. Harlandson says to increase flesh, ap- petite and to secure healthy digestion I have found nothing so safe, so effectual as Stu- art's Dyspepsia Tablets. Mr. Jas. Benton of Rosston says: “I suffered five years with nervous dyspepsia and catarrh of the Stomach. Everything I ate seemed to sour on my stomach; could not enjoy a meal for fear of the distress afterward. My druggist advised Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets and I can now eat anything I want, have gained in flesh and good spirits and I know the ~ owe by, Gid it and I shall keep them within reach.’”’ One of the most remarkable cures ever made by these Tablets was in the case of Mrs. Sarah Skeels of Lynnviile, Io.. who had chronic dyspepsia for 25 years and Though Frederick Wedekind has passed the scriptural threescore and ten years, he does not let a little thing like age stand in the way of his love affairs. He has been married twice, and survives both wives with a family of four married children. Within the last four months Wedekind has made two determined attempts to take unto himself a third wife, and the fact pthat his second attempt, which was made to-day, was successful,was due to the busi- ness-like way in which he undertook the work, Mr. Wedekind lives at 1442 College avenue. Until a few months ago he was comforted by his children, who one by one married, leaving their father alone. Thoughts of his former marriage came to him in his loneliness, and he vowed he would not re- main a widower. ‘ Through the aid of a friend Mr. Wedekind was introduced to Mrs. Margaret Singer of 5417 Belleview avenue. She was 62 years old and as Wedeking did not consider a seniority of 8 years too much, he proposed to her and was accepted. On April 9 of this year the couple visited the marriage license office and secured a license. Mr. Wedekind admitted having married twice before and his bride-to-have been made a similar confession, blushingly. A few days passed around and there walked into the office a little man, bent by time, but neatly dressed in: black and wearing chin whiskers. He was Mr. Wedekind and had come to return the li- cense issued a few days before. In expla- nation he said that he wanted the cere- mony performed by a Justice of the Peace, to which his fiancee objected. He said he would not yield to her en- treaties to have the ceremony performed in any other way and that neither would she yield to his tenets, and the match was dis- solved. ° Then he said he went to work again to find a wife and was well pleased in one Mrs. Paulina Frantz of 719 Pope avenue, who has been married but.three times and has three married c*ildren. | Mrs. Frantz is 105 ars younger than Mrs. Singer, whose religious scruples threw the fourth matrimonial offer in her pathway, land is 18 years Mr. Wedekind’s junior. A li- cense for them to marry was issued Wednesday morning and the couple left for Justice Haughton’s court at Eighth and Chestnut streets, where the knot was tied. Before leaving. Mr. Wedekind said, between emiles that emphasized the wrinkies on his face: “IT was lonesome and wanted some one to be with mein my declining years. “We will not come back again to this marriage license office, for I am satisfied now and we will lead a quiet life at my home on Cottage avenue,”’ THREE AUGUST WEDDINGS St. Louisans to Be Married in Maine This Evening.

ADOLPH MADERA’ GLADLY INDORSES STUART’S DYSPEPSIA TABLETS TO EVERY SUFFERER. \ \\ MAN SR ADOLPH Hon. Adolph Madera, Chairman of the Education and Labor Committee of the Present House of Delegates, ex-member of the State Legislature for several consecu- tive terms, and probably the most noted public friend of the laboring man in St. Louis, is another prontinent citizen who knows by experience the value of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. Mr. Madera is one of that type of men who don’t know the meaning of the word rest. When he is not occupied with his own extensive cigar business he is forever at work in behalf of organized labor, in one way or another. His most recent achievement against heavy odds was the passage through the Munici- pal Assembly of the park music bill, by which the public concerts were ordered given in the evening, so that the laboring classes might enjoy them, instead of in the afternoon as formerly. This is only one of his many legislative actions in behalf of the people whom he specially represents in the councils of the city’s law makers, For twenty years Mr. Madera has been an active leader in every rational move- ment instituted in behalf of the working classes. He was one of the first manu- facturers in the eity to recognize union labor in St. Louls, and is a member of the most prominent labor organizations. His name was in everybody’s mouth last winter when he introduced in the House and pushed to passage the bffMyrequiring street railroad companies to protect their motorméen from the weather by building ‘ m4, “aS ‘ \\ ws \ pay, r MADERA, vestibules on the cars. For this work he received the thanks of every street car worker in the city. Personally Mr. Madera is known to more wage-earners than any other public man in St. Louis. He is recognized by them as a real friend, and they know that any statement he may make can be relied on implicitly. In speaking to a friend on the subject of dyspepsia, the other day, Mr. Madera said: “You know I’m a great smoker of cigars, especially when I’m up late or have a problem on my mind. I light one with the stump of another for hours at a time. The consequence is I suffer at times from in- tense nervous dyspepsia—the kind that’s commonly called ‘heart-burn.’ I tried a dozen or more different so-called remedies without success, and was really beginning to fear I'd have to let up on work for a while and go through a course of diet. But fortunately I struck a remedy which knocked the trouble out in the first round. One day a newspaper friend stopped me in the City Hall and said: ‘Madera, you don’t look well.’ ‘No,’ I replied, ‘I’m all knocked out with dyspepsia.’ The friend advised me to get a box of Stuart’s Dys- pepsia Tablets. I did so and took them according to directions, and in a week the trouble was gone. Now I keep the tablets on hand and take them after every hearty meal, or whenever I feel the need of them. They are certainly all that they claim to be, and can honestly recommend them to all sufferers from ‘heart-burn,’ or similar | stomach troubles.” FACTS WITH POINTS. lutely True. Mr. A..

Oh, What a Difference Between Two Great ve fo State Conventions. There are many points of difference be- tween a Democratic and Republican State convention, and this difference is particu- Jarly noticeable this year. The Republican convention is more than a third larger in numbers than was the Democratic conven- tion at Springfield, but there was more ginger in one district delegation in the Democratic convention than has been shown by all the 1019 delegates in the Re- publican convention. In the Democratic State convention there Was rot @2€ moment when things were not moving at a lively pace. From the mo- ment that Temporary Chairman Bland’s gavel fell until the shout which followed | the motion to adjourn sine die, there was no lack of entertainment. When no real business was before the convention there were rattling good speakers to keep the delegates amused. Such men as Congress- man De Armond, Chairman Benton, Cowherd of Kansas City, Dave Ball, J. Stone, James J. Butler, and half a dozen others were there and they made speeches early and often. Their speeches had snap and vigor. They caught the crowd. There were no moments when affairs dragged. There were good-natured battles over every point that arose. The convention itself had plenty of snap and dash and go to it. The band played nothing but lively musie, and when the air was familiar the conven- tion sang the chorus. Chairman Benton ruled the turbulent delegates with an iron hand, but his power was concealed under a eoft covering of wit and jolly good com- radeship, which never failed to quiet the most excited altercation.

Mr. Kerens did not profit by the fate that befell his ancient enemy, and he, too, read in a monotone a long essay on the Repub- lican party. And notwithstanding his ae- cendancy as a leader, the crowd got tired of him, too, and voiced its impatience more than once.

LOUISANS FOR CON- TRIBUTIONS. THEIR CONDITION PITIFUL. Dead and Dying Volunteers in the Hospitals at Hempton and the Government Doing Little Mrs. H. V. Lucas of 3837 Washington av- enue is in receipt of a letter from Mrs. Henry Kelly, a philanthropic and patriotic woman now at Hampton, Va., in which the urgent necessity of caring for sick soldiers is set forth. Mrs. Kelly requests Mrs. Lu- cas to refer the situation to the Post-Dis- patch in order thet the world may know of the suffering that prevails. Accompanying a note from Mrs, Lucas the Post-Dispatch has received Mrs. Kel- ly’s letter, sine a clipping from the New York Evening Post, in which F. M. Arm- strong of Hampton, Va., has a two-column article giving a graphic description of the condition of the American soldier to-day. Among other things Mr. Armstrong says: The time has arrived, as it seems to me, when silence ceases to be a virtue, and in spite of my agreement with you as to the in- advisability of washing our national dirty linen in public, I should be glad to’ put on record some of my personal observationsa..during the last few months, at the same time recognizing that a very different problem now coufronts those citizens who love their country mucb, but honor more. At this poiri, since last March, has been unfolded a panorama of war, which, in its be- ginping, was sufficiently dazzling to hide for the time its real meaning. Now our soldiers are returned to us without having struck a blow, maimed and incapaci- tated, not by the chances of war, but—Heaven forgive us all—as the victims of official incom- petepee, if not corruption. As an example of the treatment accord- ed soldiers returning from Santiago, Mr. Armstrong makes the following statement concerning the Breakwater and its lack of facilities for taking care of the sick and wounded: The hold of the Breakwater is about 125 feet long, 256 teet wide and 10 feet high. There were three tiers of bunks, she having been tted to carry troops to Cuba. Ventilation and ight came only through the hatchway and two port-holes in the bow, which could pot be opened except in perfectly calm weather. At midday it was so dark that the men’s faces could not be seen except by artificial light, and the condition of the air may be imagined. Into this hold were put about 100 men, sick and wounded. A»ove, in the staterooms, were put | 47 more of those who were considered the worst | cases. As it proved, however, many of the worst cases developed below. There were two surgeons on board; no nurses; six hospital attendants, one of whom knew something about his business, the others were entirely new t» 1t. They had absolutely noth- ing to eat except canned beef, sardines, bacon and hardtack; the coffee was undrinkable. The officers got, in addi @n, canned turtle soup, but the sick men, tociuding the typhoids, were fed exclusively on the articles above mentioned. Two of them died immediately after landing. Fortunately ice held out until the last day. The recovery from wounds is due to the antiseptic treatment used. This is not the time, nor fs it my place, to bring charges .against individuals, and, in- deed, it is bardly to be hoped that this easy- going nation of ours will immediately see the necesrity of calling to justice criminals who happen aiso to be office-bolders. For that we who know the facts will*probably have to walt, cheering ourselves in the meantime with the conviction that ‘‘though the mills of God grind slowly, yet they grind exceedingly small.”’ While we admit that the question of indl- vidual suffering muet, in this as in all wars, be made secondary, we still claim that the economic foundation upon which armies are built up is and must always be. of primary importance, and in the nature of things must take precedence of everything else, and here the evidence of bad business metbods are too flagrant to be passed over. If men are to be put in the field as efficient fighting- machines, they must be cared for as ma- chines arc cared for; that it, the conditions which are essential to health must be pro- vided, and that this has not been accom- plished during the present war is, I believe, officially admitted, while it is certainly known to all who have beep in a position to make personal observations. That the sanitary condition of an army is the Index to its efficiency is a very simple roposition, and its corollary is equally simple. f our Commissary and Medical departments have not been able so to control conditions as to keep the men in the field and ont of the hospital, then they have either undertaken something which they personally were unequal to handling, or they have been confronted by the impossible. Luckily for us, we fleshed our maiden swords wpon a puny antagonist, but if we had met a foeman worthy of our steel—what then? At the end of a three months’ war, to find ourselves with a practically bedridden army, the various departments of which are vying with each other in the endeavor to shirk re- esponsibility, is not an encouraging situation. Our troops have shown so conclusively o what stuff they are made that even the most expert apologist has, I think, not yet at- tempted to put the blame upon their much- enduring shoulders; but it is apparent that, as a nation, we have hardly learned the A B O of war-making. At one of two doors lies the responsibility for this—either our present sys- tem of government cannot be adapted to con- ditions essential to successful warfare, or those who have of late undertaken to ad- minister that system are not the men for the place. In her letter Mrs. Kelly says the Red Cross Society is doing all in its power for the relief of sick soldiers, but the task is too great and outside help is needed. Food, medicine and clothing are needed, and the patriotic women who are trying to care for the returned soldiers appeal for contribu- tions.
