He is in the guise of a wealthy wine merchant and bears tne name of August Koch. His scheme to defraud the unwary is simply colossal. It is a promise to pay something for nothing. Mr. och works the game his so-called business interests. that for pastime he has assumed sistant general managership of the Hon- duras National Lottery Co., and in that capacity he is soliciting patronage for the concern. As an incentive to boom the lottery busi- ness he has distributed among various par- ties what are claimed to be bogus con- tracts which call for enormous sums of money on a small investment. The amounts are to be paid on the l4th day of October, ust one week following the lottery drawing n Honduras, Central America. To his alleged dupes Koch represents that he can manipulate the lottery so that the money accruing to another State will go to St. Louis and accordingly to those with whom he has agreements here. His method of ‘‘fixing”’ the wheel of fort- une is cleverly conceived and plausibly de- -scribed, It is believed that hundreds of guliible persons have fallen into the neat confidence trap laid by Mr. August Koch. Among those he has enénared, or thinks he has. is Tony Logamarsino of 2009 Franklin avenue.

He had money and spent it freely. After our acquaintance became more intimate he sub- mitted a propasition to make me a rich man. He told me I was foolish to work so hard when money could be made with- out lifting a finger. He explained that the Honduras lottery business was on the wane in this city and he wanted to build it up. was to get people interested in the for- tunes to be made and sell lottery tickets, He wanted me to give up advance money, but I told him I was broke. Then he asked me if I knew some women and others who wanted to make a pile. “The way Koch was to arrange the win- nings for us was this: He would be pres- ent in Honduras Oct. 8, when the drawing occurred. As customary, the man who re- volved the big wheel at the sound of a bell would be blindfolded. A second man stood on the other side of the wheel, while his position as the manager of the concern would be in the center. “Without any difficulty he could, he said, divert the winning number from New Jer- sey to St. Louis. Koch was to handle the tickets for us. I brought Koch to my home once or twice, but my wife didn’t like his looks. She didn’t know who he was at the time. I was a detective for two years and soon came to the conclusion that Koch was a faker, pure and simple., Still, I paid him not a cént and decided to see him as far as | his scheme was genuine. I was of the opin- ion that possibly he was drumming busi- | hess for the lottery.”’ ; William Blanchard liyes at 3019 Easton 0 BAITL WITH WHITECAPS Will Hoagland of Tuckahoe Drove Back Assassins.

JOPLIN, Mo., Sept. 23.—Great excitement prevails in the vicinity of Tuckahoe, a mining camp north of Joplin, over an at- tempt made yesterday morning to blow up the residence of Reed Hoagland, a well known mine operator. Wednesday morn- ing Hoagland found a note pinned to his door warning him to leave the country. He came to Joplin Wednesday night, leaving at his home his mother, his brother, Will Hoagland, and wife, and a 12-year-old brother, About 2 o’clock in the morning the family was awakened by noises outside the! house and a voice at the front door demanded that Reed Hoagland come outside. The terrified family gathered in a back room and Will Hoagland, with two 32-caliber revolvers, prepared to fight. Soon a terrific explosion wrecked the front part of the house and through the shattered windows and doors the assassins on the outside poured in a murderous fire. A terrific battle raged for severa] minutes. Will Hoagland, stationed in the door of an inner room, answered the fire from the outside-With his pistols, his little brother loading as fast as he emptied his weapons. His fire was so persistent that the at- tacking party withdrew and Hoagland gave the alarm to his neighbors. Examination disclosed that at least one of the assassins had been shot as there were blood stains on the front porch. arene were put on the track but failed. The police, however, made three arrests, the suspects being miners named Collier, Coffer and Goforth.

Mr. Logamarisino was presented with a elip of paper the size of a bank note, signed by that he is to receive $10,000 Oct. 14 next, without fail. One-half-that sum is to be turned over to Krieg in lieu of hia interest in the transaction. On the opposite side of the note Is a receipt acknowledging $475 from the persons named thereon. It is dated Sept. 16. Another paper reads: Received from A. Logamarisino $25, paid on ac- count. AUGUST KOCH, Assistant General Agent. Asa matter of fact neither Krieg nor his friend thas paid a dollar into the Kocn treasury. But they are expected to “pony up” in a few days to derive the benefits accruing from their bonanza opportunity. On the other hand, if they procure suffi- cient patronage for Mr. -och, the con- tracts are still valid. Under similar circumstances Koch Is in- debted to Robert Hudson, living on Bacon street, to the extent of $600. And to help along the good thing, Koch guarantees William Blanchard, salesman for the Al- bert G. Meyer Commission Co., §8000, pro- vided he will plank down $200 spot cash. The agreement with Logamarisino reads as follows: We promise to pay, on the 14th day or before October, 1808, to Mr. Antonlo Logamarisino & Co.. the amount of ten thousand dollars ($10,000) tn United States money, paid through the Adaims Ex ress (o.. by two witnesses, at A.

Mr. August Koch is authority for the Statement that the Honduras Lottery will be established in the United States within a year. He informed Mr. Logamarisino that three-quarters of a million dollars would be expended to buy up the United States and that a quarter of a million dol- lars would go to President McKinley for | signing the bill. Detectives Tracey and Tucker arrested Koch in Michael Krieg’s saloon, 10 Frank- lin avenue, shortly after 1 o'clock Friday afternoon. A note signed by William Blanchard was found in the prisoner's possession. It con- tained a_ marked $5 bill which Blanchard begged Koch to accept as evidence of his good faith in acquiescing to the big con- tract. Koch pocketed the money without a word and then invited the barkeeper to have a drink. Blanchard was to meet Koch at the hour mentioned, but pleaded pressure of business as an excuse for his absence. = August Koch roomed at 701 North Fif- teenth street and dined at the Planters’ Ho- tel. Hfe has lived at the number given for about five weeks. The landlady there «aid: “Mr. Koch was a peculiar man, although I knew nothing whatever of his business connections.

The Post-Dispatch has received the firet picture sent to this country of Louis Lu- cheni, who assassinated the Empress of Austria. It is also the first photograph, so far as ‘6 known, ever taken of the Anar- chist and murderer. ‘Ihe man’s name has appeared as Luc- chesi, Lucchini, Luccesi and in other ways, but the Swiss authorities evidently havea concluded that his proper name is Luchent, for it is so written on the offic’al photo- graph just from Geneva. It was taken by From the Photograph Taken by the the police authorities immediately after the assassination.

Indeed, every feature of the man’s face sets him down for what he is and although he prates in the well-worn anarchistic argument, it 1s easily to be read in his face that a dis- tempered mentality and contorted nature are more responsible for his miserable po- | sition than the theories he espoused, lzicheni’s career bears out the story of his face.

Be- tween a criminal, like him, murderer that he would be, with the blood of his own brother on his hand, and a boy who is all a mother could desire like William--the in- nocent victim—I must choose. “The mother’s love is strong for any off- spring, wayward, black sheep or not. But deeds of blood against his own family wash away even a mother’s love, and so I say as I would of any man who attempted to murder me or mine, ‘May he be hanged.’ ” William, Whose voice can scarce be raised above a whisper, owing to the bullet in his lung, replied: a hope they hang him to the first tree.” The shooting of Will is not Noble’s onlv offense against us and it is not for that alone that I wish he were dead,”’ the mother said. “It is for these gray hairs in my head; the grave his father fills down by the creck; the shame he has cast upon the family name; the hours and days and weeks of anguish I have spent in thought of his misdeeds; the money wrested from his father’s hard-earned store that he has spent with dissolute women; the brand of the felon that the penitentiary has left an him; for these things, followed by @ cow- ardly attempt to assassinate his own brother, that I make this unmotherly prayer.’ Since the shooting, which occurred on March 2, last, the brother Wiil and his mother have lived in constant dread of 4 return of the would-be assassin.

While pronouncing the malediction, pray- ing God to deliver her first born to an ig- nominious death, the mother’s voice was firm and clear; the words made it sound harsh. She raised her right hand above her head in physical token that she knew the power she invoked. The thing said, her mouth closed in a set expression: her eves shone almost vindictively under the yellow rays of an oil lamp; the son William, who was his brother’s victim, dropped his head and murmured an almost inaudible amen: a neighbor boy who was in the room stood by in open-mouthed terror; two Great Danes which have guarded the house trom an- other visit by Noble set up a doleful bay. 2g. whigh accentuated the dramatic in the SURPRISED HIS’ FRIENDS Charles H.

FRANCE DARK IN SHADOW OF A POSSIBLE DICTATA EVIDENCE ACCUMULATES THAT PRESIDENT FAURE MEANS TO STRIKE DOWN THE EXISTING REPUBLIC. MILITARY COUP D’ETAT MAY BE NEAR AT HAND. Arbitrary Imprisonment of Col. Piquart in Contempt of the Cab- inet Only Ons o. the Grave Indications cf Approach- ing Usurpation. PARIS, Sept. 23.—Everything tends to confirm the opinion that Gen. Zurlinden, in ordering the military tria) of Col. Picquart, acted entirely upon understanding witi President Faure, and as the days go by the danger of a coup d’etat calculated to make the Président military dictator of France seems more imminent. ~~ The Temps declares that the Cabinet had Previously refused to sanction Gen, Zr- linden’s proposal to prosecute Col. Pic- quart and that Gen. Zurlinden, therefore, waited until he had resumed the military governofship of Paris, when he acted upon his own authority, carrying out his own order which was made just before his re- tirement from the office of Minister of War. No one believes that Gen. Zurlinden con- ceived himself this bold piece of trickery, or that he has ventured to carry it out on his own account. He is the creature of President Faure, who induced Premier Brisson to trust him with the port- folio that M. Cavaignac resigned. President Faure has practically defied the Cabinet, which owes its position not to his favor, but to a legislative majority. The transfer of Col. Picquart from civil to mili- tary custody, in defiance of the wishes of the administration, and the Premier's action in repudiating this transfer of the Cotonel on behalf of the Cabinet, is merely the beginning of what promises to be a fierce fight between the Cabinet, with Parliament and the nation behind it, and President Faure, with the commenders of the army at hig back. A mob, which had been howling outside La Sante prisen, rushed toward Picquart as he emerged yesterday, when taken tg Cherche Midi, the military prison, shaking their fists and shouting, some for and some against him. A similar mob waited at the Cherche Midi. A detachment of military, in both cases, protected Picquart, A majority of the papers denounce thls military coup with varying degrees of severity. M. Clemenceau, in the Aurore, war a _-. 4 charges Brisson with cowardice or imbecil- ity and couples President Faure’s name a with that of Gen. Zurlinden tn the alleged plot to suppress the truth and defy jus- tice. M. lemenceau dwells strongly on the Mauvaises’ chances in the Cherche Midi prison and credits the ex-War Minlis- ter with the remark: “If Gen. Mercier had not been so soft y peal he would have had Dreyfus mur- aered. Another paper, the Droits de L’Homme, abuses M. Faure with the greatest viru- lence and accuses him of employing M. Brisson to make a coup d’etat. It points hold all the strong posts. Gen. Zurlinden comes forward as the de- fender of the army, the prosecutor of its supposed calumniators and the resolute op- ponent of a revision of the case. From this to an appeal to the public in the line of the establishment of a dictatorship there is no wide step. The Soleil says that owing to yesterday's events, the Cabinet. at an informal con- ference, discussed Gen. Zurlinden’s action, and the Fronde even asserts that the Pre- mier, M. Brisson, disavows the measures taken against Picquart, which, he says, were instituted without the knowledge of the Cabinet. The Matin affirms that it has authentic information that the name of Dreyfus was never once mentioned in the mass of docu- ments brought against him. It adds that the only serious document is the so-called bordereau. The documents in the cas®@ it appears, consist entirely of fragments of letters referring to everything except Dreyfus, and the whole matter, the Matin adds, “‘con- stitutes such a fairy tale that no sober- minded person would dream of accepting If the prisoner of Devil's Island gets a new trial, Picquart occupies the position of the instrument that has made a breach in the wall shutting out the light of truth. If, on the other hand, the decision of the commission now examining the case is that there is no case for a new trial, Picquart will be shown to have acted in a criminally careless way and will be responsible for the recent disorders, - DAYS OF THE PIONEER ——— TOPIC OF THE CELEBRATION OF THE DE SOTO CON- FERENCE. CHARACTERS OF THE MINISTERS To-Day’s Session Taken Up Chiefly With Examinations and Elec- tions to Deacons’ Orders. Special to the Post-Dispatch. DE SOTO, Mo., Sept. 23.—The semi-cen- tennia] celebratioa of the 50th anniversary of the Methodist Episcopal conference was held in the Opera House last night. The house was packed and many were unable to gain admission. Among the old veter- an ministers who told of thrilling and amusing incidents of the pioneers’ days in the church were the following, who have reached the age of three score and ten: Rev. J. C. Berryman, Rev. F. M. Finney, D. D., Rev. W. M. Prottsman, J. A. Russell, EF. E. Aspley, W. S.. Woedward, Je R. Edle- man, 8S. Richmond. The morning session was devoted to fin- ishing up the examination and passing upon the characters of the ministers in the conference and the election to the order of deacons Rev. Willis Carlysle, Thomas H. Clayton, Harry Jenkinsson, James M. King and C. S. Rentson, and electing the following elders: Rev. W. A. Humphrey, A. R. Williams, C. M. Davenport, Fred- erick Kaker, Richard Wilkinson and A. e Safford. Dr. F. M. Finney of St. Louis presented a resolution from the State Board of Char- ities, signed by Gov. Stephens, recommend- ing that conference set apart some Sunday in October for preaching upon prison re- form, which was received and recommend- ed by the conference. This afternoon at 3 o’clock the ladies of the Foreign and Home Missionary Society meet in_ session in the Fourth Street Church. To-night there will be a mass-meeting in the Craw- ford Opera House in the interest of edu- cation. Bishop Candler will address the meeting. So far during the sessions not the slightest discord’has taken place, and the very best of feeling is manifested by all the delegates present. BABE WITH TWO MOTHERS, Police Believe Neither Has Any Claim to It, but the Facts Are Puzzling. Solomon once decided a baby contest ina way that gave him a reputation for wisdom that has shone through centuries, but if the old Hebrew King were in St. Louis it might tax even his astute old mind to decide a question of maternity that is puzzling the authorities. One baby is lost and its fate is veiled in the darkest mystery. Detectives confess themselves baffled. Another baby has been found and where it came from is as much of a mystery as the fate of the other. The mother of the lost were | thought the other was hers, but she couldn’t prove her claim, while the woman who has the gecond child cannot clearly estabiish her right to its possession.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.—A very peremp_ tory message of instruction has been sent to the Cuban military commission and by them made the basis of a note to the Spanish commissioners. The authorities in Washington will not make public the terms of the note, but its general tenor jg that the United States will not be satisfied with any further delay in the evacuation of Cuba. It is to the effect that the terms or the protoco) called for the immediate evacuation of Cuba and that panish sOVv- ereignty must be relinquished. © Ameri- can commissioners have informed that the evacuation of Cuba Cannot be dge- layed, ’ NO WOMEN ADMITTED.

And the men who do all these things form a won- derful band of devotees, who have built up a great and beneficent institution. “Fhey do all these things as well as women do them, because they have vowed to live only for the good of their fellow-creatures.

For awhile Friday it appeared there would be some interesting testimony brought out in Judge Talty’s division of the Circult Court, but before the affair could be carried that far the whole mat- ter was left to the court to decide upon his own information. William A. Alderson appeared as attor- ney for Judge Thomas A. Russell and pre- sented a motion asking for an allowance of $20 for Judge Russell for services as attorney for the receiver of the North End Building and Loan Association. The receiver, Mark R. Chartrand, satd that Judge Russell had never represented him as attorney and had never been au- thorized to act as receiver’s attorney. Mr. Alderson was for having Judge Rus- sell testify as to what he had done, but upon_suggestion the idea was abandoned, especially as Mr. Chartrand seemed de- sirous of going into the matter. There has been quite a controversy over the attorney business in the case, and Judge Russell has insisted all along that the State Supervisor of Building and Loan Associations was the proper person for receiver, and that the Supervisor’s attor- neys were the only proper persons to rep- resent the receiver. . Mr. Chartrand will fight the allowance. Judge Talty took the motion @s sub- mitted and said he would decide what to do later. HUNTING THE MONEY SHARKS.

Horses and There Were Floral Offerings of Peautiful De- sign From North and South. Special to the Post-Dispatch. RICHMOND, Va., Sept. 23.—The body of Miss ‘‘Winnie” Davis arrived here this morning and was met at the railway sta- tion by Lee Camp, Confederate Veterans, and escorted to St. Paul's Church. It lay in state until the funeral under a guard of honor from Lee Camp. There was a great gathering of people at the funtral. Col. Willtam Preston John- ston arrived from New Orleans last night, and was one of the pall-bearers. Delega- tions from al] parts of the South poured into the city. Admittance to the church was by letter and 150%) of them had been issued. Gen. John B. Gordon, on account of his ontoonses condition, was unable to at- end. Gen. Fitzhugh Lee sent this telegram: “Please say to the Committee of Arrange- ments that the Secretary of War has of- ficially informed me of his purpose to in- spect this corps within the next three days, and I will, therefore, be prevented from discharging the sad duties of pall-bearep at Miss Winnie Davis’ funeral.” j A South Carolina delegation brought flowers and a palmetto tree. At the last reunion of Confederates Miss Davis wore a palmetto scarf as a compliment to that State. The church is the one where Jefferson Davis and family worshipped during the war. It was there that Mr. Davis received the news of Lee’s surrender. The funeral procession was one of the most imposing ever seen here. Veterans and military turned out in great numbérs. Every car- riage for hire in the city had been en- gaged. The florists here never did such a busjness. Telegraphic orders came for de- signs from North and South. The body was buried in the north sec- tion of Davis Circle, about 10 feet from the grave of Mr. Davis. The hearse was drawn by four white horses and thé mili- tary escort consisted of the Richmond Howitzers, three coentpanies from the First Regiment, three from the Second and one from the Third. The services at the church were conducted by Rev. Dr. Hartley Car- michael, the rector, and Rev. Dr. D. M. Hoge, pastor of the Second Presbyterian Church, and there were reserved seats near _ bier for all the other ministers in the city. The trip from Narragansett Pler, or more properly from the Rockingham Hotel there, was remarkable. A large delegation of the Grand Army of the Republic escorted the body from the hotel .to the bg har how thoroughly the animosities engendere by the civil war have been buried. Up to the moment of departure messages of con- dolence continued to arrive for Mrs. Davis. In the special car were Mrs. Jefferson Davis and her daughter, Mrs. James Addi- son Hayes, Mrs. Joseph Pulitzer and Clar- ence Cary. At the stations on the route a few people would gather about the car, but there was no demonstration until Mott Haven was reached. There a committee of the South- ern Society of New York was waiting to escort the mourning car to Jersey ity. Mrs. Jefferson Davis received them in the car. At Jersey City a guard of honor from the Confederate Veteran Camp of Ken- tucky was waiting. The guard was led by Maj. Edward Owen, Lieutenant-Command- er of the camp. There were many beauti- ful floral offerings waiting at Jersey City to be placed on the train. Among them two wreath of white roses, orchids, pinks and lilies of the valley from Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Pulitzer, Half an hour after the train left Jersey City Maj. Owen was told that Mrs. Davis wished to see him. Like the meeting with the members of the Southern Society in New York, it proved a painful. ordeal for Mrs. Davia and her daughter. But she showed remarkable for- titude. It was when she greeted Maj. Owen that she broke down.

The journey to Washington was without incident. When the train arrived at the Pennsyivania station there was a guard from the Confederate Veterans’ Associg- tion of Washington waiting and a commit- _tee from the Stonewall Jackson Camp of Daughters of the Confederacy. Mrs. E. W. Eyres and Miss Fairfax brought with them a- beautiful wreath of flowers from receive the veterans. There was no demonstration at the ste- tion, but many flowers arrived.

An interesting contention involving the ownership of a patent eye salve and the complications resulting from borrowing money on the trademark and formula, is to be heard by Judge Withrow Saturday. In 1873 Willam T. Blow got a patent on the T. L. Stephens Chemical Eye Salve and made a great deal of money out of !t. At his death the formula and trade mark were inherited by his widow, and his two sons, Wm. T. Blow, Jr., and Benjamin &. Blow. Some time later the sum o was borrowed from Edwin Curd mortgage given on the salve patent. $8,000 of the money has been paid but there is a large sum still due. In the meantime Mr. Curd made a gen- eral assignment and the assignee, E. N. Tuttle, filed an application for a receiver for the salve business and for an injune- tion restraining the owners from epPos- ing of oy of the stock or property.” Fudge fithrow appointed Beverly A. Dyer receiver and made an order forbid- ding any of the Blows from disposing of their stock. Since that order wWas the plaintiff claims that Benjamin FP. Blow has assigned his etock to Attorney 8. H.

F. CODY (BUFFALO BILL). Chief Incidents in His Career as Scout, Hunter, Indian Fighter and Showman. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Sept. 23.—Col. Will- fam F. Cody (Buffalo iBll) has been taken very ill here and has been removed from his private car to St. Joseph’s Hospital. He is suffering from typhoid fever and his physicians say his condition is serlous. He has been ailing for 10 days. Cody is now an old man, up in the sixties, and although he has always been rugged and free from ordinary ills, his friends are much alarmed over this attack. Buffalo Bill is a native of Iowa, born in a log cabin in Scott County. When he was 10 years old his parents moved to Western Kansas and his father established @ trading post. Here for the first time ‘lit- tle Bill saw the typical Westerner, the man of sombrero, buckskin and moccasins, profuse hair and a dozen notches on each of his dozen pistols—nine times out of 10 a blustering ruffian, all bark and no Dite, but with a swageer fit to impress a boy. Bill was awed and delighted, and his 10- year-old brain was filled with the ambition to be one of these great men. From that moment he never cut his hair. Those were days of excitement to the healthy boys—learning from the Kickapoos to shoot with bow and arrow, attending Savage barbecues, spending days on his pony, following for miles the “prairie echooners” of Russell & Majors, and finally participating in the riots after the enabling act, when, for the first time, Northern sentiment clashed with Southern spirit over the negro, and marauders of each party gnercilessly killed their opponents. In one | Bill again shooting buffaloes for amuse- ment. In 1868 he was made chief of scouts under Gen. Sheridan in the war against the Dog Soldier Indians, and he did invaluable service as a guide over regions utterly un- known to the military. During four years he remained at Fort McPherson, where he arranged buffalo hunts for many visiting Easterners—foreigners, too, among them the Grand Duke Alexis. New York men who met Bill found him so different from the rough frontiersman imagined by them that they were charmed, and in 1872 he came to New York at the in- vitation of August Belmont and others. Metropolitan life was sure to make an im- pression on such a character, but the change would have been no more than the adding of a little polish had he not one night chanced to see in front of a theater a big placard, “J. B. Studley, in His Great Impersonation of Buffalo Bill, the Scout of the Plains.”’ Amused, but interested, Bill entered the playhouse; saw a bad replica of himself by an otherwise good actor; glowed with de- light at the enthusiasm of the audience, and presently fell to thinking over the certainty that where the imitation was so successful the original would be received with im- mense acclaim. To think was, truly, to act. The following s¢tason he started out ina play, taking as his leading man an old Western friend, ‘‘Texas Jack’’ Omohun- dro. There were Indians in the piece, of course, and stage coaches and an abducted maiden. Claptran, yes; but, ah, the pow- der! Wherever Bill went youth flocked to the theater and inhaled the battle-smoke as if it were incense, while Bill, seen HOW HE GOT HIS NAME. of these forays the elder Cody was killed. In such a country, amid such surround- , a boy ages quickly. Cer. with his mother dependent upon him, became a man, and he went to work for Russell & Majors as herder, then messen- ger, wagonmaster, pony-express rider and tage driver. 4 He was but 11 years old when, being with a freight train conveying cattle for Albert Sidney Johnston's army, he took part in an Indian fight—and killed his first man. In this was the beginning of his celebrity, for he was chronicled widely as the youngest of Indian slayers. It was a life that made ruffians out of well-bred men; yet this woods boys, amid savage reds and worse whites, retained the gentleness that he robably inherited from his mother, and t was his delight in his periods of rest to return to her, bringing the money he had earned at the cost of so much per- eonal privation. She died in 1862. The rebell'on had fired the soul of Kansas, and Rill, moved partly by patriotism, partly by the wish to leave the scene of his fresh grief, sought service in Tennessee and Mississippi as a private n the Seventh Kansas, the “Jayhawkers. ill was at once madea scout, and capacity became the pride of Smith's corps. Going to St. Louts in 1865, he met and married Louisa Fredrici. Under the pleas- ant woke of matrimony Bill tried to give up the old, wild life and to settle down into a staid man of commerce Hike fixat essay in this direction was the conducting of the Golden Rule Hotel at Salt Creek Valley. He prospered, but instinct and he struggied, wa- e frontier bontiface; At 14 years Bill | through the haze, rose in their eyes to the position of a god! A sagacious comedian. with aspirations to management, whom many people now know as Nate Salsbury, saw the money making possibilities of Bills aggregation of cowboys, red men and gunpowder. They ef- fected a partnership. The result is the Wild West. This human panorama has made Bill known to half the werld; has caused the Prince of Wales 10 greet him almost as a chum; has led him to clink glasses with kings—he, the uneducated child of the prairie.

Widow and four HIS LIFE IN DANGER, EMPEROR OF CHINA FEARS HE WILL BE ASSASSINATED. EMPRESS IN A CONSPIRACY. She Wants to Place Prince Kung’s Grandson on tn Throne ani Re- store Li Hung Chang to Power. LONDON, Sept. 23.—According to special dispatches received from Pekin, members of the European community there believe the life of the Emperor of China is in dan- ger. The Dowager Empress desires to piace _ Prince Kung’s grandson on the throne. The | Emperor realizes the strength of the con- / spiracy against him and | guards at the palace to be strengthened. ' The Dowager Empress has assumed charge has ordered the attend all see all before government. She will meetings and audiences, approve all edicts of the Cabinet memorials and they are issued, The Fmperor is 27, lean, undersized and unhealthy. His features are Tartar as con- tradistinguished from Chinese; the reign- ing family being Tartar. He assumed the government in 1887, His chief official titie, among many others, is Kuansu. He has been the most secluded monarch-op earth When he appears in public, which is very rarely, matting is hung up in front of all the houses and strips of cloth are stretched across the alleys and side stsé¢ets through which the imperial procession must pass. He is invariably accompanied by a vast retinue of soldiers and an army of court- iers, and the man who peeps around the corner or has his eyes fastened to a hole in the matting is'liable to be blinded by a bullet or an arrow. When he is at home he is carefully hidden away in the center of a big Tartar city (which is the center of the Chinese-city) at Pekin, and is ap- proached through three sets of walls—an impossible task for a European visitor—ve- fore the visitor reaches the building in which he is kept guarded by eunuchs, Though he is generally credited with the possession of a very ugly temper, which in- cites him to smash the bric-a-brac of his apartments, when he cannot have his own way, his efforts at ruling have gone no [fur- ther than to do what he was told to do. He has been kept in order—ancestor wor- ship being a strong point in the Celestial moral code—by the old Empress Dowager. who has practically run the g6tate show, and who is influenced sometimes by whim work- ing through a thin leaven of diluted states- manlike feeling. and sometimes by palace intrigue. Kuang-Su—which means the Illustrious Succession—has been under the old lady's thumb since he was 4 years of age, when he was chosen to succeed Tung-chi. She su- pervised his education. She picked out his wives for him, Of course she took her own friends when she selected his wives, and ehe has him so hemmed about with her of- ficials and girls that if he had a will of his own he wouldn’t know how to use it. The Empress Dowager, who has bossed the Tsung-l-Yamen fora generation, is now 66 years old. She was the secondary wife of the Emperor Hsien Fung. She was at the head of the empire during a greater part of the Taeping rebellion. She managed its af- fairs during its wars with France and she has had more than one taste of Russian di- plomacy. She has a mind of her own, and all of the Chinese respect and fear her. She is even more secluded than the Emperor, and when she receives her officials and the Cabinet ministers her practice {ts to sit be- hind a screen while they talk at her through it—unless she has something strong to say to them. The Empreas js the friend of Li Hung Chang. It was the first of August thatthe Dowager Empress had superseded her nenh- ew. Li Hung Chang was at once given full power and practically superseded the For- eign Office. A few days later the Emperor apparently got the upper hand again: Li Hung Chang was ousted and English In- fluence again predominated over Russian. The overthrow of the Emperor probably means the recall of Li Hung Chane to power and Russian influence in the as- cendancy. ST. LOUIS M. F CONFERENCE.

Foster of Hartford and Charles A. Plumb await further developments. Plumb, so the Stratford Postmaster says, asked at the eneral delivery office yesterday afternoon or a letter addressed to Miss Emma Gil. There is a letter in the post-office bearing that rame,. but the Postmaster refused to let it go out of his possession. When B- telephoned to Hartford, and then took the next train from this city for that place. He was not gone half an hour before Superin- tendent Birmingsem went to his house in Stratford. The New Haven police were in- structed by wire to apprehend the man, but the train had just pulled out of the station there when they received the mes- sage.

It would be better for this country if New Jersey were really a foreign land, as the jesters frequently make it. The charter it has granted the gigantic steel combination known as the Federal Steel Co.“authorizes mining of all kinds, manufacturing of all kinds, transportation of all kinds on land and water, buiiding of all kinds, including houses, ships, cars, factories, engines, railroads, etc.. and buying and selling and mortgaging of all kinds, including land and the business of other corporations, firms or persons.” This is liberal If the trust sees anything in any part of the country which it wants, let it apply to New Jersey, and authority to tahe it will be promptly granted. The resources of New Jersey are strictly limited. Mosquitoes and trusts— the two great bloodsuckers—seem to be about all the State has to show. But these two are comprehensive. The pre- eminence of the State is assured. —— eo Let the Mexicans be greeted with Spanish courtesy, in- formed with American sincerity. SS — TOTTEN’S WARNING. We are in the iron age, the age of machinery, of the pon- derous locomotive and the ironclad. We are also in the iron age morally. The fron of the machine seems to have entered into the soul of man. Prof. Totten warns the world that this fron age is suddenly to come to an end in March of next year. “It means,” he Says, “the end of man’s haphazard, irresponsible methods and system. The ‘iron crown’ will be knocked off mortal brows, and with an ‘iron rod’ immortal hands will thence- forth direct such human affairs as may survive the crisis.” Like all prophets, Prof. Totten at one moment uses ordi- nary language, and in the next sentence employs figurative expressions. We understand him when he says that “hap- hazard, irresponsible methods” will cease. That would mean arbitration instead of international and industrial warfare: it would mean calculation and estimate in matters of produc- tion instead of ruess-work; and a fair division of the product according to merit instead of the enrichment of gamblers at the expense of the toilers. It would mean that the trusts would either ceuse, or be managed for the benefit of all con- cerned, including the consunfer. : That were a consummation devoutly to be desired. But what does Prof. Totten mean by “immortal hands” ruling with a rod of tron? Can this signify that the world will be governed by intelligence and affection, wielding the rod of scientific power? We leave this to the theologian. In any event, there is nothing alarming in Prof. Totten’s pre- dictions, On the contrary, the tenor of them. is decidedly cheering to the law-abiding man who agrees with the poet that “Order is Heaven’s first law.” The Post-Dispatch first suggested the nime of “Dewey Islands” for the Philippines, and it is now telegraphed from Washington that many Serators and Representatives favor the change. If the islands are to be American, no name could be more appropriate, commemorating as it would one of the most remarkable naval victories in all history. &-&. i i ] REPUBLICANS FRIGHTENED. The Republicans are thoroughly frightemed. Algerism is a heavy burden to carry at any time, but when the elections are coming on is sure to be fatal. That is the view of Mr. Babcock, Chairman of the Congres- sional Committee. Campaign contributions are withheld be- cause men who “invest’’ in politics fear that there is “no money in it” on the Republican side this year. The President, as usual, is non-committal, but the report goes that he means to stand by his Secretary of War. There is the clew to the situation. If he sticks to Alger it is because he must. Alger and Alger’s backers own the party and the Administration. They, too, have “invested” in the Government, and they are making a desperate attempt to save their hides and their dividends. It remains to be seen whether Mr. McKinley's obligations to Mr. Hanna have been fully discharged. But it does seem, to disinterested observers, that the President of the United States should be relieved of Mr. McKinley's obligations. Are they to be one of the “fixed charges” of the Government? Republicans are deeply interested in this question. - ha hp. den If taxdodging were to cease for a single vear we should have on hand a big fund for the Workhouse and our other neglected institutions. = S = i ELECTRIC LIGHT FACTS. When the Municipal Assembly meets, the public will look for a submission-by the Board of Public Improvements of a lighting ordinance. That such an ordinance should not pro- vide for a long-term contract is proved by the following facts and figures: 7 Sixteen years ago the price of incandescent lamps was $1 each; now it is about 18 cents. In 1884 a 100-kilowatt dynamo was the biggest made; now such generators of current are built up to 4600-kilowatt capacity. The cost per kilowatt of current per hour has fallen in the same time from 75 cents to about 1 cent. Carbons cost 6 cents apiece in 1884; now they are worth about 2 cents apiece.

You know h's character and can judge for yourself whether he is likely to trifle with you. But I don’t believe he is doing that.

BROOKS The theosophist would explain this ex- perience by stating that your astral body left your material body temporarily, and that the lower consciousness which was left behind protested against this, knowing of your earthly duties, about which the astral part was less concerned. The the- osophist doctrine of an astra] body is not new, being practically the same as that of the Apostle Paul, whe states that on one occasion he had an experience, “whether in the body or out of the body” he could not tell, “God knowet!?,” during which he visited the third heaven and heard things unutterable. Paul says also: “There is a natural body and there is a spiritual body.” According to the most modern scientific theory, expounded by Hudson in “The Law of Psychie Phenomena,” your subconscious mind, which, is governed largely by sug- gestion and takes unerring note of the pas. sage of time, became aware that you were 7 Interpreted by Moura's Grandson, phantasm of yourself which see to be outside the body, made you aware the fact that it was time to get up.

Yesterday we were at the Exposition and beckoned to a little boy, who was selling lunches, when the watchman drove him away, so I went hungry. Injustice in Battery A. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Why is it that fifteen men have been selected to guard camp, and those same fifteen men compelled to remain on duty at Jefferson Barracks until the 20th of No- vember while the remainder are on fur- lough. It was understood that Battery A was to have a sixty-day furlough, but where is the furlough for those men who are compelled to remain in camp for the whole length of time. What is right for one is right for all, and since a guard must be kept in camp, it is only just that al] take their turn at an unpleasant work which is the duty of one as much as another. Capt. Rumbold has certainly acted very unjustly- and arbl- trarily and I trust the Post-Dispatch (which is ever ready to champion the cause of justice and right), will take this matter up, and see that these few falth- ful men are not imposed upon.

In view of Superintendent Soldan’s state- ment that ‘“‘all books are absolutely free, in first four grades,’’ made through your paper I would like to know how many schoo gations have been served as I have, viz.: My little girl carried her old books to school and came home the second day with a @e- mand for 49 cents for new books, from her teacher. Fifteen cents Was subsequently returned, but 25 cents and her old books retained. To-day a demand came from her teacher for 25 cents for drawing and copy- ing books. This last may be leg timate, but, considering first transaction, am not cer- tain, and would like information as to whether IT am being systematically ‘“‘done.” St. Louis, PATER.

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch.

But imagine the great change in reading a Washington dispatch In your paper the next day stating that an outlay of $257.20 was intended for the Peace Commie«ton ana their coterie for 90 days. It is bold, flagrant high-handed robbery, and the honest, toll- ing taxpayers of this patriotic nation will not submit to such an outrage. Is it Han- naism or straight McKinleyism?

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Will you tell us if there is any good reason for the manner in which passen- ers are transferred at Grand avenue and lorissant? Coming from the cemetery, instead of stopping for pasesngers at Flo- rissant, they proceed around the turn into Grand avenue, often delaying passengers just long énough to lose the car on the connecting line, and compelling one to cross the tracks through mud, or dust, to get on the Grand avenue car. It seems a very unnecessary proceeding, and is cone demned by all who have to make the change. RAND AVENUE. St. Louls. Too Close a Cut. + To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch.

THE DEAL ALL BUT FIXED UP. its Completion Mzans That Either De- troit or Indianapolis Will Take the Forest City’s Place. It is now pretty nearly a sure hting that the Cleveland team will be in St. Louis next serson. The deal has all but been fixed up. Indianapolis or Detroit will take Cleve- “land's place in the big League. The above statements are made by Cin- cinnati and Indianapolis parties who are very close to the League there. Nothing on earth would please St. Louis patrons of the game better than to see just Such .a plan as that suggested carried out. The deal would give st. Louis a good teum and make this point a paying one for all visitors. It would also add a live city to the circuit in place of a dead one. Either Detroit or Indianapolis would rove a great. improvement over Cleve- and, Detroit is a splendid bas@wal] city and has as finely equipped and well Jocated a baseball park as any city in America. Indianapolis too is all right and in the League would prove a profitable stopping place for all the clubs. The St. Louis Brow ns played a ten-inning fame with the Brooklyns yesterday after- noon. It was a pitchers’ battle from start to finish. Hughey was in the box for St. Louis and McKenna for Brooklyn. Al- though the Trolley Dodgers muade just twice as many hits as the Browns they failed to score more runs. The St. Louis team played a great game of ball vesterday, and with a little luck will land to-day’s game from the Brooklynites. Suliivan Played the second bag again vesterday. Quinn is still unable to play. The final ecore yesterday was 3 to 34. The Orioles won the two games of the double-header from the Orphans yesterday. By winning these two games they have equaled a record made by themselves at the first of the season, that of winning 12 straight games. Both games yesterday were played in a drizzling rain. The first one Was a walk-over for the Orioles, who won as they pleased. The second game was won in the fourth inning, when they banged Out a single and two doubles and with Thornton’s error scored three runs. Kitson and Hughes were the Baltimore pitchers and Phvle and Woods were the box artists for Chicago. The scores were 15 to 6 and 8 to 1, “I was once on the point of being a Cin- cinnati Red.

Chaff About the Big and Little Pugil- ists of the Country. Jim Cronin, the leader of the Democracy in the First Ward received a letter from Ead- ward F. Burke of Springfield, Mo., yester- day. He wants a couple of boxers to go to Springfield next week to box there dur- ing the Springfield Fair. Here is a chance for some of the St. Louis boxers who are in town and idle. Charley Daly, once the daddy of all ae local lightweights, has recovered from ht recent illness and is back attending to business. Gov. Mount of Indlana has deciared him- gelf. He says that under no circumstances will he allow the Corbett-McCoy mill to be brought off at Roby, Ind. Dan Stuart is in New York and says he ves be a bidder for the McCoy-Corbett mill. Jim Corbett has sent a telegram to the New York newspapers. It reads: “If Buf- falo can't pull off the fight I will accept the largest purse offered.” Jack ge sey’s old opponent, George La Blanche 1e marine,”’ is in the Franklin County Hospital, at Greenfield, M: Ang sut- fering from serious injuries to his head and left leg. He was picked up in the Hoosaec Tunnel -last Monday, having fallen from a freight train. He is penniless and friend- less, and says he wants to get to San Francisco, where his mother and sister, to whom he gave $8000 of his winnings, now reside. As the officials of the Hawthorne Ath- letic Club have come to the conclusion that there is no possible chance of them bring- ing off the fight between Kid McCoy and Jim Corbett in their clubhouse at Cheek- towago, Buffalo, on October 15, they are trying in every possible way to get permis- sion from either Tom O'Rourke or the of- ficials of the Greater New York Athletic Club to pull off the fight in their clubs, in order to realize money already spent on the venture. The statement made by Billy Gray, manager of McCoy, and also one of the officials of the Hawthorne Athletic Club, on Monday night, that Corbett and McCoy were under contract to fight under the auspices of the Hawthorne Club, its proof enough tha he and his associates would like to lease either the Lenox Ath- letic Club or the Greater New York Ath- aoe Club at Coney Island to pull off the v0 Belleville Clerks at Springfield. Sunday's game at Springfield, Ill... be- tween the Reds of that city and the Relle- ville Clerks gives promise of being a battle royal, This will be the deciding game of the series, each club having won two ames. This will ‘settle beyond the sem- lance of a doubt who are the real amateur champions of Missouri and Illinois.

Zhe St. Louis Theroughbreds Made Their Presence Felt at Newport, Ft. Erie and Harlem Yesterday. There will be two interesting stake events on Saturday’s programme at Gravesend. There is a 2-year-old stake to be disposed of there then as well as the Ocean View handicap, a race of one mile and a six- teenth for 3-year-olds. The Algeria is for 2-yearolds that have not won $1,000 up to the time of entry, and there is nothing superlative about the lot eligible. The best included are Armement, Leande, Sanford, Claroba, Kinlty Mack, Alpen, Lindsey, Duke of Middleburg, Prestidigi- tatrice and Cormorant. It should be an easy thing for the Cana- dian colt Martimas. ‘lerk of Scales Vosburg will have a very mixed lot to weigh for the Ocean View handicap, and it will take a lumping big »0st to stop that really fine race mare, riar Sweet, from adding another to her long list of triumphs. St. Louis thoroughbreds made their pres- ence felt again yesterday at the Newport, Hariem and Fort Erie tracks. At Newport, Fireside, Sir Blaze and Miss Bramble captured three out of the six con- tests scheduled for decision. At Harlem Found and Dr. Marks each took a race, and at Fort Erie Ed Farrell won the featured event of the programme, Nosey scored in the Sea Breeze Stake at Gravesend, in which Lennex, as antici- pated, ran a very much improved race. There will be no racing at the Coney Island track to-day. Friday’s are barred in the Brooklyn Jockey Club calendar.

Many of Them Will Go From Here to Take Part in Omaha Tournament. The local foot-racing enthusiasts have | been favored this summer by visits from the fastest professional foot-runners known to the game. Several fast-run races have been brought off since the advent of these ‘‘pros’’ in the ‘Mound City. [Thomas Sharpe’ Robinson of Fairbury, lll., who is looked upon as the speediest man in the ‘business, beat Colin George of Cleburne, Tex., on the Pastime 22-yard Holland, the 16-State amateur champion in this division, who but recently turned pro ran ‘his first professional foot race with Colin George on the 7th of the month at -the Pastime course, 9 yards, for a purse of $200, each man backing himself to the extent of $100, There will be an exodus of this pecullar talent to Omaha, where all the leading cin- ; der-path lights will assemble to compete | in the big and little men sweepstakes to be | held there in the near future.

LOUIS IN OCTOBER. REFEREE’S BREEZY GOSSIP. Scmething About the Races, Missouri Division Affairs and Items of Interest to Wheel Riders. v The race meet to be hei here Oct. 8 will equal in importance the biggest events at the nationad meet at Indianapolis last month. St. Louis has been awarded the five-mile championship event, which will count 60 points for the winner. An idea of the importance of a 60-point race can be gained by a simple explanation of the championship rule of the League of American Wheelmen. A championship ev _ is run at every national circuit meet. winner of these races scores 6 points and the next four men less in proportion. The | distances of the championship events are | quarter, third, half, one, two and five ' miles, the points being the same for all races, These six distances are assigned to a national meet, but to increase the impor ance of the races at the annual pathe et the number of points to be counted is largely increased. There the winners score 60 points. the second man 40, the third 30, the fourth W and the fifth 10. Thus it will be seen that the fifth man in a 60-point race will score more than the winner of one of the regular events. At the end of the season all scores are added up and the one having the highest is declared the profes- sional champion of the United States. Wow as the promoters of the national meet ran but three of the sixty-point races, the other three were assigned to ot ther cities, and St. Louis captured the five-mile event, In this we are particularly fortu- ' nate. As the race will be run in-heats until | all the poor ones are weeded out, until the race is narrowed down to five contestants, it will afford lively speculation as to the winner, i nee The chief importance of the race, to my is the fact that it is the last of the great events of the season, and will, with- | out doubt, be the decisive one. Five men have scores of over 100, and the three lead- pers are close together. None of them could afford to risk missing the meet, and |; with the marks as close as they are, the | chances are that St. Louis will see the | making of the champion of 1898. | mind. If any one of the leaders:in the cham- pionship race want to quit riding they can do so by’ passing St. Louis on Oct. 8 The scores are in such a condition, that each one fears to leave the others whenever a 6-point race is to be run and they would as soon receive a year’s suspension as to be absent from a 60-pointer. Bald is in the caught by McFarland or Taylor in lesser | event, and should either of them or Kim- ball or Cooper win a 60-pointer at Phila- a second position. So you see it will take no coaxing to get them here, though $225 is to be put up in prizes for the cham- pionship race alone. it is narrowed down to five men what : grand affair it would be to see Bald, Mc- Farland, Taylor, Kimball, Cooper and Gardiner fighting it out for their lives! As at present outlined, I undérstand that | the programme will look like this: Five mile championship—P irst prize, $150; second, $50; third, $25 One-half | mile handicap, professional— First prize, $69; second, $30; third, $15. Two mile handicap, professional—First prize, $60: second, $30; third, $15. One mile open, amateur—Values, first prize, $25; second, $15; third, $19. One mile handicap, amateur—Values, first prize, $25; second, $15; third, $10. It is posible that a tandem race or even a multicycle event will be put on in place of one of the professional races.

Surely they would have no reason to do so. ty the way, I understand that the Fair Grounds Association is making vigorous efforts to have the Racing Board lift the ban from its track. The Fair Grounds were put on “the list of those to whom sanctions are refused,” by the L. A. W. in 1895 for running uneanctioned Sunday ra ‘es. There was considerable trouble over Tut the time afid a eomnpromise was made by which the grounds remained 1n good st: and- ing under a promise that there would be no more Sunday racing. But the management was changed and the agreement was net kept, so Chairman Mott put his bad mark against its name. Sunday races were n- tinued until the alliance between the Ye U7. and the L. A. W. was made and the | they ceased. Of course the Fair “Grounds could hardly |} get up an unsanctione d meet now, for there are scarcely any outlaw ride rs here who can push a bicycle, but, even oe a as the repentance comes, [ trust that t in Racing Board will consider the matt i carefully and rei instate the track.

There will be a most important series of baseball games played between the Heinies and Willies, the firet game to take place on Saturday afternoon, and the others on Oct. 1 and &. In 1894, some few members of the defunct Olympic Amateur Athletic Club got to- gether and organized the Superior Athletic Club. Their motive was to promote atn- letics on ‘the South Side. Among its members were nine whose first name was William and it struck them that it would be a novelty to have them all on one side and the members with other names on the opposite side. The others were called the Heinies simply to distinguish them from the Willies. In the fall of each vear the teams have a game of baseball and in the spring a football game, the winners being cham- |pions until the following year. At the last regular meeting of the club it was decided to play a series of three games, the winners to be the champions for the ensuing year. To make it more in- teresting the losers must pay for the re- freshments, not a small item by any means | (if the He ‘inies lose), considering the carac- ity of the Willies. There ‘s excitement galore at the club- ‘house when the boys get arguing about he merits of their respective teams, as’! | there is great rivalry among them. Capt. Heinie Lange three times every week and them run five miles, to get them in condl- peed Capt. Lange is @ regular glutton for | work. Billy Lange, the famous South St. Louis Turner, who made such an excellent ghow- ing at the Hamburg Turnfest, is a mem. | ber of this club and the Willies are espe- cially proud of him, as he is one of their stars. Both teams have been training hard for ithis series of three games and they prom- ise to be as hard-fought contests as have been seen in St. Louis in many a day. THE PROFESSIONAL CYCLISTS. This Month They Will Form a Little Organization of Their Own. On the 26th of this month the majority of the professional racing men of this country, among whom are Arthur Gardiner, Eddie Bald, Tom Cooper, Major Taylor, H. B. Freeman, O. 8S. Kimball and many lesser lights, will hold a meeting at Trenton, N. 'J., during the national meet, and will take the first decisive steps toward a secession from the League. | At this meeting a committee cf three will | be appointed who will act as 1epresenia- tives of the racing men in a conference to be held with the track owners of the coun- try in order to bring about a new racing organization. The professional riders now stand firmly together, and have determined to act, and act quickly. As nearly all the track own- ers have grievances against the L. A. W.., this movement will be easy of accomplisn- ment, and the beginning sf next rai ing season will see the professionals riding under an organization whose legislati ve duties will be to @urther their interesis, - "= The Little Ballplayers. The Deweys will play the Toddys Sun- day morning at South Side Park. The game will be called at 9:30. ching / Seal Humors Cuticura Works Wonders in Cleansing the Scalp-and Re- storing the Hair.

ROBBED OF MONEY BY TWO WOMEN. LUCKILY HE SENT $2000 HOME BEFORE HE FELL AMONG THIEVES. STOCK AND MET A STRANGE MAN. SOLD HIS Deccyed Into a Saloon, His Drink Drugged and ‘Himself Locked in a Hotel, With His Monsy Gone. John H. Brown, a farmer from Sanga- mon County, Ill., who counts his wealth by the hundreds of thousands, tottered into the Central Police Station shortly after daylight Friday morning and told = start- ling story. -Farmer Brown had been drugged, robbe] and imprisoned, he said. & >» Wav elily aazea from the effects of the poisonous drug when he reached police headquarte's. A little second-story room at the Victor Hotel, Fifteenth and Chestnut streets, was the scene of the robbery, so Brown de- clares. He told such cers Were sent to the they arrested Jessie Sanders and Emma Powell. The police sought = information from Henry Johnson, cie:K at the Victor Hotel. He was uncivil in his replies and he Was arrested and taken to the Four Courts along with the women. The .trio were locked in the holdover. Brown identified Jessie women who robbed him. As Brown sit in Capt. Reynolds’ office relating his story he presented the unique spectacle of a rich man without money enough to buy a breakfast. In fact, he didn’t even have a penny with which to buy a- paper, for the robbers rifled his pock- ets, taking everything, even to a few trink- ets that were valuable only as Keepsakes. The booty amounted to $s. Luckily for Faimer Brown, he sent $2000 to his home just before he fell into the clutches of the robbers. Brown arrived at East St. Louis early Thursday morning with a car load of live stock. He made a sale and tucked the pro- ceeds deep down in his pockets. He in- ended returning home on one of the even ng trains, but late in the afternoon he met @ man who claimed to be prominent in railroad circle, and who 6uggested a “‘lil- tle trip cross the river.’’ Brown is not of the unsophisticated type. Me has traveled more or less and felt able to look out for himself in any crowd. So he crussed the river. On Chestnut street the alleged rail- road man disappeared, leaving Brown in a galoon, the location of which he cannot ex- actly remember. There he met two women, eupposed to be Jessie Sanders and kmima Powell. The women took a drink with Brown. He noticed the liquor had a queer taste and he soon became deathly sick. One of the women, believed to be Jessie Sanders, suggested that Brown go toa a straight story thet offi- Victor Hotel, where Sanders as the hotel, ~"*T'l]) phow you the way,” she said. They went to the Victor Hotel, where Brown Was assisted to a room. The woman said she would care for him, and if he con- tinued tll she would call a doctor, Brown re- membered nothing further of what hap- ened until daybreak Friday morning, when e awoke. He looked about and wondered Where he was. His pockets were turned wrong side out. The woman was zone. So was his money. He sprang out of bed and half reeling, Feached the door. It was locked from the outside. The farmer pounded vigorously on thin pine door. There was no response. He pounded still louder and made a noise that died in echo a block away, It then dawned upcn him that he was a Prisoner. Just when he was on the point of break- ing down the door, an employe of the hotel released him. He _ straightway went to the Four Courts. The accused trio deny Brown is pected at his home, and he says i never have allowed the woman to any him to a hotel had he not been the influence of the drugged liquor. as not drunk and his appearance in- stes that he is a well bead gentleman. will probably not remain in the city Ing enough to prosecute the case. re ee eee - The Cake Walkers.

Mt. i6 North Broadway REFUSES Td Vernon, ee a me GIVE HIS NAME: Dapper Young Fellow Puz- zling the City Detectives. WORKED A STRANGER IN GUisk OF A MASON. SUSPECTED OF BEING THE MAN WHO ELOPED WITH MISS YANCEY. MUCH MONEY AND JEWELRY ON H!S PERSON. Police Now Searching for the Young Woman From iansas in Hope of Identifying the Prisoner. A dapper young fellow, neatly dressed, and in general appearance much like a yrosperous commercial man, is behind the bars of the Central Station holdover. He is, so far, a mystery. He refuses to tell his name. The police are guessing. That the mysterious individual is a con- fidence man Chief Desmond is positive. What other charges may be registered re- mains to be seen. The dapper young man is abduction. It is believed he is the man who, under the name of J. W. Johnson, eloped from Wichita, Kan., three days ago with Kate Yancey, the daughter of a wealthy farmcr and bank director, living near Grenola, Kkan, It is Known that the elopers bought tickets from Wichita to St. Louls and the description of Johnson tallies exactly with the appearance of the mysterious man who is now behind the bars. Chief Desmond is keeping the wires hot between Wichita and St. Louis and definite results are expected soon. . _ The mystery was arrested on a Mound City ‘car in front of the Moser Hotel on Pine street, Thursday morning, charged with working a confidence game on J. W. Hunter, a stranger registered at the South- ern Hotel, Hunter says he met the man in front of the Planters. He gave the name of E., J. Burns and said he was a Mason of high degree, Mr. Hunter is a Mason and a cas- ual acquaintance was soon struck up. To- gether they walked to Carmody’s saloon, where the mysterious man used his secret society influence to borrow $3. He then tried to increase the loan, but Mr. Hunter by means of mystic symbols, tested his newly found friend and discovered the fal- sity of his claims to Masonic honors. Hun- ter then tried to recover his $3, but the man ran out, jumped on a car and tried to get away, when he was arrested. At the Central Station the prisoner doe- nied the name of Burns and insolently told the police to find out his identity as best they could. A search of his pockets revealed papers bearing the follwing names: George W. lee, Edward Sampson, E. J. Armstrong, EK. J. Burns, He says none of them be- long to him. A casual search revealed only a few dol- lars in small change in the prisoner's pock. ets, but later the police found $80 and sev- eral rings and watches, tucked away Ina stocking which was pinned to his under- clothing The laundry mark on the prisoner's co}- lar and cuffs fs *‘*Roach,”’ but he also de- nies that name. : Detectives are now searching the city to find the Yancey girl, who is supposed to be in hiding here somewhere. Miss Yan- eey’s father {is expected to arrive here from Kansas Saturday morning. The ten- der age of the girl makes it possib'e to charge abduction against the man who induced her to leave her home. A special to the Post-Dispatch Wichita says the father went in of the elopers with a-mob. He posse and pursued from Grenola to Wich- ita, where he lost the trail. Subsequenily he learned that tickets were purchased for St. Louls and that the couple boarded the EKast-bound ‘Frisco train. : HIT HIM WITH A WEIGHT. Herman Barosh Had a Fight in a Grocery tore.

M&S. M’CREADY DENIES HER MOTHE®’S STATEMENT. CONTRADICTORY ALLEGATIONS THAT SERVE TO MYSTIFY THE CASE. BENTON FAMILY DO NOT KNOW THE STRANGE WOMAN. Protability That the Identification Made by the New Orleans Doctor Will Prove te Be Correct. Mrs. John McCready of 2124 Forest ave- nue, Benton, now denies that the mysterious insane woman at the County Asylum, Nash- ville, Tenn., her sister, This. denial is made in face of the fact that Mrs. McCready’s mother, Mrs. Mar- garet Murphy, sent a telegram to Chairman McCool of the Asylum Commissioners, say- ing that the insane woman was her daugh- ter, Madge Murphy ,and requesting him to hold her until further notice There are several rather mysterious feat- ures about the case. Chief among them is is that Mrs. Murphy suddenly left the home of her daughter, Mrs. McCready, at Benton, either Thurs- day evening or Friday morning. Another peculiar fact that although there is a telegraph office at Benton, within a few squares of the McCready home, the telegrams sent to Nashville were filed at Howard Station, two miles this side ot Benton. A third peculiarity is the very apparent and rather clumsy efforts of Mr. and Mrs. McCready to conceal the facts of their con- nection with the woman at Nashville. The Nashville end of the case is briefly as follows: A handsome woman was incur- cerated in the asvlum there under the name of Mrs. Brown. Thursday afternoon Chair- man McCool of the Asylum Board received the following telegram from Howard Sta- tion: HOWARD, Louls, Sept. 22.—H. J. McCool, Chairman, Nashviile, Tenn.: Lady now confined in asylum is Madge Murphy. Hold her until advised by me, her mother, Mrs. Margaret Murphy. he woman's trunk was returned New Orleans to Nashville and seemed to bear out Mrs. Murphy’s identification. On the end was painted ‘“M. M., St. Louis.” In the trunk were a large quantity of hand- some clothing and a number of letters and photographs. The letters were signed, “Mrs. Macge Daniels, New Orleans, La.”’ A letter was received from Dr. Dyer of New Orleans saying the insane woman was a patient of his and offering to pay for her expenses to New Orleans. Here is a double identification, one doctor in New Orleans and another Mrs. Murphy of Howard's Station. That Mrs. Murphy sent the telegram uoted from Howard § there can, be no doubt. As to whether she sent any more messages the operator there declines to Say. He told the reporter Mrs. Murphy was a woman of 60 years and that she could he found at the restaurant at Benton. There the waitress in charge said Mrs. Murphy was the mother of Mrs. McCready, the proprietress of the resWaurant, and that sne couid be found at Mrs. McCready’s home, 2124 Forest avenue, in Benton. There a tall, black-haired man, wearing the uniform of a conductor on the St. Louis and Meramec River Railroad, came to the door. He said no Mrs. Murphy lived there. In answer to many more questions he reluctantly admitted that Mrs. Murphy was his wife’s mother and that she was at their home Thursday. “She's gone to East St. Louis.”’ he said. At this juncture his wife came to the door. Together they denied that the Nashville was related to them. When asked to explain Mrs. telegram quoted, they denied edge of it.- “Day before yesterday,’ said Cready, “‘a telegram came here, addressed to Mrs. Murphy. It was from Nashville and told about this woman. Mrs. Murphy has a daughter who travels around a good deal, and we thought it might possibly be she. so we telegraphed for a description. When the description came it didn't tally with Mrs. Murphy's daughter, so we let {ft drop. We afterwards learned that the tel- egram was intended for a person living tn Renton. Mo.. another town somewhere in this State. That's all we Know about the matter.” Mr. McCready the telegrams were instead of Benton. iS St. from by a by woman at Murphy's any knowl- Mr. Mc- to explain why sent from Howard Mrs. MeCré@ady was asked to show the telegram giving a de- scription of the Nashville woman, but de- cliened, with some show of spirit, although she admitted that it did not concern her.

Every Point Will Be Guarded, and There Will Be a Strong Extra De- tail of Officers of the Law. Chief of Police Campbeil and Chief Des- mond of the detective department are working with energy to clear St. Louis of robbers before and during the fall festivi- ties, so that protection can be guaranteed to citizens and visitors. Already confidence men and robbers of every description are flocking to St. Louis and as rapidly as they appear, they are arrested and thrown into the holdover on the charge of idling, when no more serious charge can be placed against them. Under the plans outlined by Chief Des- mond, crime is bound to be reduced to the minimum, and visitors may go about tne city with safety. The chief, who is always on duty, even under ordinary circumstances, will length- en his working hours and shorten his time for sleep. He knows, on sight, nearly every crook of any importance in the Uni- ted States and while the festivities are on, Chief Desmond will be here, there and every wnere, The jocal force will be augmented by a detail of detectives from New York, Chl- cago, San Francisco, Philadelphia and all of the more prominent cities. This precau- tion will make St. Louis a very undesir- able place for crooks. Chief Desmond wih have men stationed at the hotels, depots and all other places where thieves and confidence men are most likely to undertake operations. Every place will be guarded, and it is the am- bition of Chief Desmond to give St. Louts the best protection ever known since the fall festivities were inaugurated. Many of the police patrolmen in outly- ing districts will be transferred to the central part of the city for special duty. They will wear citizens’ clothing. Sufficient temporary addition will be made to the police force go that the residence district will be guarded, and if the precau- tion Chief Campbell has given the citizens is observed, there will be comparatively little opportunity for burglars to operate. AFTER JOHN M. CLARK. Saloon Keeper Camnv Says the Boy Gave Him a Bad Check. John D. Camp, a saloonkeeper at 3101 North Grand avenue, appeared at the Four Courts Friday morning and tried to get a warrant for the arrest of John M. Clark, son of John F. Clark, a basket manufac- turer at 306 Commercial street. Camp said that young Clark owed him a emall bill and on Sept. 10 Clark came to his saloon and presented a check for $10. Camp said he cashed it, giving the ry 38 and keeping $2 for the debt, which the boy, he says, told him to do. Yesterday the check, which was drawn on the Third Na- tional Bank, was returned marked no good. The check was signed John F., say ane b Son and Camp said he knew Mr. ‘ Clark to be fully able meet a $10 check and cashed it without any hesitation. The firm name is simply J. F. Clark Basket Co. When Camp found out that the check was no good he said he called on Mr. Clark and related the story. Camp «eaid Mr. Clark told him he was confident there was a mistake in the story. as his son, John M. Clark, was out of the city and had been for some time, Camp was told by Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Johnson that he would issue the warrant, but Camp asked for time, saying there would be a lot of time wasted in the prosecution. Mr. John F. Clark is a re- epected and prominent business man. ——— ee RETURNED FROM LEIPSIC. Mrs. Nellie A. Parcell Talks Interest- ingly of Her Experience. Nellie Allen Parcell of 4110 Delmar well-known music teacher and organist, has just returned from Leipsic, Germany, Where she has spent a year etudying music under Barth and Joachim.

Dr. Von Phul is with the St. Louis colony at the University. “St. Louisans are good patrons of Barth and Joachim. These two command the highest prices.’’ Mrs. Parcell speaks entertainingly of the various feelings in Germany regarding the war. “At first our army was ridiculed, particu- larly the militia, but as the War progressed a the papers changed their opinions and wlicies,”’ : Lillian Russell, Mrs. Parcell saya, is making quite a hit—artistically and finan- clally—in Berlin.

Chief of Police, Two Captains and Two Sergeants Will Now Pass on Charges Against Patrolmen. In the future the trial of patrolmen and probationery patrolmen, against whom charges may have been preferred, will be conducted on new lines. The Board of Police Commisioners, who have heretofore heard all such trials, will have no part in future trials. Instead a regular trial commission, consisting of the Chief of Police, two police captains and two sergeants, will be appointed to conduct all trials of the patrolmen and probationary patrolmen. Charges against sergeants, captains, and other police offi- clals wil! be heard by the Board of Police Commissioners, as has been the custom heretofore. This innovation, it is thought in police circles, will prove more satisfactory than the present system. A trial will be con- ducted on the same lines as is a court- martial in the regular army. The officials comprising the trial commission will be selected by the Police Commissioners and their finding will be final. The Chief, captains and sergeants’ being in closer touch with the patrolmen than the Com- missioners possibly can be, will be in a better position to pass readily on the mer- its of the case, Then it is claimed that the commissioners have other and more important duties to transact, and as the trials consume much time they will be enabled to give more time to matters in the Police Department that require their attention. It has often been contended that in the hearing of these charges against patrol- men politics is an important factor. It has been said that a man with “a pull” could violate the rules with impunity and escape with a whitewashing. Politics will not en- ter into the appointment of the trial com- mission and a patrolman’s political influ- ence will do him no good before the com- mission composed of the Chief, the Cap- tains and the Sergeants.

Prof. Waterhouse Is Enthusiastic Over the Omaha Exposition. Prof. S. Waterhouse, one of the State Commissioners to the Transmississipp! Exposition at Omaha, is enthusiastic over the success of the big show. In speaking of it he said: “The Omaha Exposition ts neither & uni- versal nor even a national fair. But as a representation of the resources and ‘lization of a new and partially settled section it is @ brilliant success. It is full of beautiful and instructive sights. The money contributed to the Transmississipp!l Exposition will be a profitable investment. Already the cost of installation has been aid. and the greater attendance in the atter days of the exhibition will bring large returns. With two exceptions, this is the only great exposition that has ever achieved financial success. This fact is alike creditable and gratifying to its man- agers,”’ Meramec Schkcol Meeting. An important meeting of the patrons, taxpayers and citizens of the Meramec Schoo} District will be held this we a at 8 o'clock at the school building, and it is earnestly requested that a large attendance appear SHE SUSPECTED A PLOT. urs. Morgmiller Starved for Seven Days in Fear of Poison. For seven days Mrs. Amelia Morgmiller has not tasted food. Possessed of an in- sane idea that her relatives were plotting against her life, she declared she would Starve to death rather than eat anything as long as they were near. Her unfortunate mental condition was aggravated by her attempt to starve her- self and Friday morning she became vio- lent. She is now at the City Hospital. Mrs. Morgmiller lives at 1521 Menard street, with her husband and children, She is 40 years old. She was sent to the St. Vincent's Insane Asylum once, but was discharged a few months ago as cured, A few weeks ago her old mental ailment recurred in mild form, and a week ago she became possessed of the delusion that the food set before her was poisoned. She refused to eat it and the more members of the family pleaded with her the more deep-seated .became her conviction that they wanted to poison her. The ravages of starvation caused her to become worse day by day and Friday morning she became very violent. Going out in front vf the house she opened a wild tirade against her husband and children. It was necessary to call a policeman to bring her under control. She continued to rave and it was de- rs best to gend her to the City Hospi- tal, Mrs. Morgmiller’s husband is Charles Morgmiller. He is employed at Cupplcs'’ Station. ST. LOUIS COUNTY DAY. Suburbanites Attend the Exposition in Large Numbers. Friday is a combination of St. Louls County Day and society night at the Ex- position. It is a wide jump from war to society, but it was taken over night. Thursday Gen. Shafter was the hero. Sou-* sa’s military programme was a lively and inspiring one. Wher the band played. ‘There'll Be a Hot Time,” and ‘“‘The Stars and Stripes Forever,” the audience could’ easily imagine itself on the firing line at Santiago with the hum of Mausers in the alr. Arrangements have been completed for th: entertainment of Battery A Saturday night. The boys will meet at Fourth and Ol.ve streets at 6:30 o’clock and will march to the Exposition escorted by the Auxiliary Association end a large number of other citizens.

Clabby May Not Leave the City Hospital Alive. Andrew J. Clabby was removed to the City Hospital Thursday night. He is suf- fering from nephritis and will probably never leave the hospital alive. Clabby was not always the wreck he is now. Once he stood high tn social and po- litical circles. He had a pleasant home, was surrounded by a happy family, was Clerk of the Criminal Court and was pros- veerous. Now he ie an outcast. Money, 1onor and self-respect are all gone. The family who once loved and honored him ave cast him from them. The estrange- ment occurred many years ago, and now iergaand does not even know where they ve. Whisky and a desire to be a “good fel- low’ is responsible for Clabby'’a downfall. After he started on the down grade he ob- tained a position as gateman at the old City Hospital. His unreliable habits lost him that place, and for several years he hee done nothing but loaf around the bar-roome of North 8t. Louis. He had a room at 610 North Broadway. THREE BOYS MISSING.

Cars 32 and 66, red line, the latter an ex<- tra run by Motorman C. Boston, were west- ward bound. From Compton avenue the grade is steep to Grand avenue, especially from Louisiana avenue west. At this cor- ner stands a fire-engine house, and in stopping there motormen always leave lots of space in case of a run by the Fire De- partment. Car No. 22 slackened its speed to permit several passengers to alight. Boston kept right on going, however, and in a moment had struck the rear platform ahead of him with such force as to throw the big car off the track. Superintendent ” W. Baumhoff, who lives near by, saw the accident from his front doorstep. He sus- pended Boston and put another man in his place. No one was hurt, but the platform was battered.

The couple were married in an extremeiy quiet manner at St. Boniface Chureh on Wednesday. Mr. Schlanger is 74 years old and his bride is 72.

BATTERY E MAY ARRIVE ANY TIME. HUMPHREYS HAS BEEN JOINED BY H1S WIFE AND DAUGHTER. COL. BATTERY A CAMP IS ALMOST DESERTED. Everything Is Running Smoothly at the Post Now anc New Arrivals Can Be Properly Looked After Immediately. Col. Humphrey will take care of Battery TE at Jefferson Barracks and make them as comfortable as any of the other regu- Jars quartered there. At first it was feared that the old barracks would not be accept- able, but the Colonel found no fault with them after a thorough Inspection and re- turned to headquarters Friday morning in a particularly happy mood. This feeling of exhilaration wag not altogether attributable to smoothing out the little military difficulty, for the genial Colonel’s estimable wife and daughter joined him Wednesday night. While the old warrior was fighting his country’s battles in the mud and fever of southern Cuba Mrs. and Miss Humphreys were reading of his valiant exploits by the a of Lake Michigan at thelr summer Villa. With the arrival of the Twelfth at Jef- ferson Barracks the cottage was closed and the loyal women hastened to greet the returned hero. Col, Humphreys found on his desk a telegram from Lieutenant-Colonel Smith suying that according to his advices the battery would reach the Barracks about 1 o'clock. Everything has been arranged tor them so there was nothing to do but spre¢d the glad news. The commandant could not tell Friday morning whether the artillerymen would occupy the quarters once held by Grant and Sheridan, when they commanded here, or go into camp. This will be left to the pleasure of the commanding officer. Mayor Ziegenhein was notified of the coming of the Capron Battery and imme- diately arnmanged for its participation in the regulars’ feast at the barracks mess hall Saturday. Sergt. Horte, in charge of the hall, had not received any of the provisions Friday morning, but had engaged all the help he will need in the kitchen. The menu will consist of roast beef, roast pork, roast veal, broiled mutton, potatoes, Sliced tomatoes, cantaloupe, fruits, home- made cake, beer. Each soldier will also receive a boutonniere, a pipe and tobacco. The hall will be handsomely decorated with American flags and bunting. The decora- tions will be put in place Saturday morn- ing. Friday morning the guard in the new camp of the First Regiment were engaged in policing the company streets. All the tents are up and all regimental property has been moved over from the old site. Lieut. O'Keefe was the officer in charge. Maj. Hereford said the health of the guard was excellent, considering the out- door work that has been done this week in the driving rain. Many times the men were wet to the skin. To guard against cold and other ailments the Major lined tne boys up and gave them a liberal dose of quinine and whisky. Many refused the former until they learned ‘‘no medicine—no other,’ then they submitted quietly for the ‘‘other’s” sake, Maj. Hereford Friday raised his hospital flag on a tall staff. It is the only ensign fiving on the hill. The Major expects to-take his holiday next week when Lieut. Welch will return from his visit to relatives in Kentucky. Sergt. Biltz, hospital steward, has gone to his home in Concordia, Mo. His place is being filled by Dr. Oswald Cosby. The doctor will in a few days be examined for a position in the regular army hospital corps. Over in the battery things are dead. Séergt. Bob McDonald has thoroughly po- liced the camp and the boys have nothing to do but loll around in the tents and swap campaign stories. George Fatum, the much advertised cook of the battery has announced to his com- rades that he intends applying for a sim- ilar job in the regular army. DOMESTIC SCIENCE. Ar. Interesting Lesson in a Branch of Woman’s Work for Girls. Sewing is a domestic science taught tn the public schools which the Post-Dispatch will present to its readers on the coming Sunday. The cooking lessons’ described last Sunday excited no end of interest, and it is not unlikely that many readers of the Post-Dispatch learned the first time of the domestic science feature of our public echool curricu.um. The knowledge of how to sew is as important to women as the knowledge of cooking. In the St. Louis ublic schools little girls begin to learn ow to sew before they begin to learn their A, B, C's. It is an interesting feature of latter-day public education, and it will be exhaustively treated in next Sunday’s Post- Dispatch. WANTS BIG. DAMAGES. Idiss Lenno Cline Asks 3100,000 for False Imprisonment. A sult for $100,000 damages has been filed by Miss Lenno Cline against Benjamin J. Straues, Simon Straues and Adolph Sam- ish, composing the milinery firm of 8S. Strauss & Co. In her Dill of compl@int Miss Cline says that on Sept. 14, 1898, while she was in the employ of the defendants as a milliner, they “wrongfully, unlawfully and mali- ciously, with Intent to injure the plaintiff,” caused her to be violently seized and ar- rested by the police as a@ common crim- inal. ¥ Then the petition says: She saye that by reason of all these acts her name was brought into much publicity and injured by it. Since the occurrence she says ehe has been unable to secure em- p.oyment. jhe asks for $25.000 actual damages and $75,000 punitive or exemplary damages. ’ Democratic Meetin g.

The railroad people say Battery E, First United States Ligh: Artillery, known as Capron’s Battery, will not reach St. Louls before 10 o'clock to-night. An Associated Press Dispatch from Cleve- land, O., Friday says: “Battery E of the First United States Light Artillery, which was commanded dur- ing its service at El Caney and Santiago by the late Capt. Allyn Capron, passed through Cleveland at 2:10 o’clock this morn- ing on its way from Montauk Point to Jef- ferson Barracks, Missouri. “The battery occupied a special train of 13 cars and carried its ful} equipment. 1nere were no soldiers seriously sick. The battery arrived over the Lake Shore and left over the Big Four.”’ The Big Four officials here got no news of the Battery until noon, when they heard that the special train was expected to leave Indianapolis at 3 p. m. This means that it will be fully 10 o’clock before the train arrives. It will not enter Union Station, but will stop in the yards, where a committee head- ed by the Mayor will welcome the artillery- men. Capt. Allyn Capron, the late commander of the Battery, died last Sunday tn Florida, of fever contracted in Cuba, where he and his battery did valiant service. His son, Capt. Ailyn K,. Capron of the Rough Riders, was killed at La Quasina. Another son in the service of the Govern- ment died during the war with Spain. The Battery took an active part in the battles of El Caney and San Juan, and in fact did more work around Santiago than any other artillery command.

The doctors say her mind is gone, physical infirmities have fastened upon her, and her end is near. The once beautiful and brillant woman, who was welcomed in the best social circtes of Missouri, will close her days in a mad house. No more will the forlorn little woman, unsteady of step and faltering in speech, be noticed on the down-town streets or around the gloomy Four Cour’s building, which place she frequently visited after shame MYRTLE GILLETTE. and disgrace came to her and wrecked her life. ‘Myrtle Gillette first sprang into notoriety two years ago last August when J. B. Tucker, a supposed!y wealthy stockman, committed suicide in his room at the Lin- dell Hotel. Then it was that th lives that Tucker and Myrtle Gillette hua been leading were exposed to the world. The man’s punishment and end was the more merciful. One swift stroke with Aa razor and his life weat out. Death relieved him almost instantly. With the woman it was different. since her sin had found her out she has suffered a thousand deaths. She lives in the past that was pure and honorable until she met Tucker and loved him. Another time she struggles to escape from the dreadful yvis- oe that condure themselves before her. er Tavings and sufferin ) imes ae’ yaa ee yrtle Gillette’s girlhood home was !® Kansas City. Her people stood high and she Was given all the advantages of educa- tion. She was sent East and there finished | her education. She was beautiful, talented and bright. The best homes in Kansas City were open to her and in St. Louis she phad many friends. A number of years ago she met Tucker. He was wealthy and feil in love with her at first sight. He concealed from her the fact that he had a wife and children. He taught her to love him. When she did learn that he was married she loved him so well that she would not give him up. They left Kansas City together. She toid her people that she was going to Boston to visit friends, Tucker left home on a business trip. They came to St. Louis and registered at the Planters’, Tucker bought her everything she expressed a wish for. Carriage drives were a part of each day’s programme, though they were careful to avoid any of Miss Gillette’s acquaintances. At the hotel they were known as Mr. and Mrs. Tucker. Her dresses were stylish and handsome and the distinguished appearing couple were much admired. But, reverses came to Tucker. His neg- lected\ business failed. Money became scarce\. He was forced to leave the Plan- ters’. When his bill assumed proportions at the Lind@ll and he saw no way of settling and swruin jand disgrace stared him in the face, he-®as not brave enough to face the situation. He killed himself in the wom- an’s prezence. The horrible sight unsettled her mind. For days she was a maniac. She finally re- covered, took her effects and dropped out of sight. The tragedy in the hotel room was ever before her and she sought to shut it from view by losing herself in morphine. It only brought more hideous phantoms. Then she began drinking. Her brothers tried to reclaim her, but in vain. She went to the bottom and became a drunkard and a police court character. Two years of the pace that kilis has brought her to death’s door. The doctors say she will never recover. TWO SETS OF DRUGGISTS. Wholesalers and Retailers to Meet Here at the Same Time.

Arrangements have been made for a meeting of the Wholesale Druggists As- sociation and the Proprietary Druggiste As- sociation of America, to meet in the South- ern Hotel on Oct, 17, 18 and 19. On the same days at the Planters Hotel about 300 retail druggists will meet and organize a national association for _— protection of he interests of the retailers. , “hie resalioce will make an attack upon the wholesalers, it is said.

Two Favorite Daughters Will Also Have a Share in the Two Shops and His Brother Has Arrived. Litigation may grow out of the settling of the estate of Joseph A. Gubser, barber, who dropped dead in his shop at 6518 Wal- nut street, Monday night. Gubser left two daughters by his first wife, from whom he was divorced about three years ago. He charged in his peti- tion that she was insanely jealous. Mrs. Gubser No. 1 is a middle-aged woman anid now conducts a restaurant at No. Lil South Second street. These two giris, Maggie and Minnie, live with her. Maggie, a bright girl of eleven years, with biack eyes and vivacious manners, was her father’s pet. As late as last Sunday, the day before he died, her father attended her communion 6ervices at the Old Cathe- dral. In the evening, he participated in festivities held in honor of the girl, over the restaurant conducted by his divorced wife. Gubser provided for Maggie and gave her many. presents. Mrs. Gubser No. 2, who was Miss Mil- lie Ringshausen, who is only 20 vears old, will claim the property left by the de- ceased, which includes insurance in the Woodmen of the World and two barber shops. she has an infant son, Willie. Mr. Gubser’s brother reached St. Louis from New York Thurday, the day after the funeral and will secure counsel] for hfs Sister-in-law if a will is found and con- tested. Mrs, Gubser No, 1 attended the funeral services at the Ringshausen home, No, 105 South Jefferson avenue, Wednesday, taking her two daughters with her. She found fault with the arrangements, saying that Mr. Gubser had always expressed a wish to be buried from a Catholic Church. She complained that no candles had been placed about the corpse. Mourners alended with her not to make a scene, and she subsided somewhat, Dean C. M. Davia of Christ Church Cathedral officiated at the home. After the short prayer service and as the casket was about to be closed, the young widow, bendirg over the corpse, moaned: “O, what will my Wiille do? His papa is dead.” : Mrs. Gubser No heard: “and what will my two children do?” There were no ‘further scenes between 1 said loud enough to be | BABE WITH TWO MOTHERS, Police Believe Neitber Has Any Claim to It, but the Facts Are Puzzling. Solomon once decided a baby contest In a way that gave him a reputation for wisdom that has shone through centuries, but if the old Hebrew King were in St, Louis It might tax even his astute old mind to decide a question of maternity that is puzzling the authorities. One baby is lost and its fate is veiled in the darkest mystery. Detectives confess themselves baffled. Another baby has been found and where it came from is as much of a myetery as the fate of the other. The mother of the lost baby thought the other was hers, but she couldn’t prove her claim, while the woman who has the second child cannot clearly establish her right to its possession.

Women who have suffered severely and been relieved of their ills by Mrs. Pinkham's advice and medicine aro constantly urging publication of their statements for the benefit of othtr wo- men. Here are two such letters: Mrs. Lizzix Bevery, 258 Merrimac St., Lowell, Mass., writes: ‘‘It affords me great pleasure to tell allsuffering women of the benefit I have received from taking Lydia BE.

Y.. writes: ‘I took cold at the time my baby was born, causing me to have miik legs, and was sick in bed for eight weeks. Doctors did me no good, I surely thought I would die. I was al- so troubled with falling of the womb. I could not eat, had faint spells as often as ten times a day. One day a lady came to see me and told me of the benefit she had derived from taking Lydia E. Pinkham's medicine, and ad- vised me totry it. 1 did so, and had taken only half a bottle before I was able to sit in a chair. After taking three bottles I could do my own work. iA Officer.— How is it you Recrutt.— 1 chew Battle get in any other way. OFFiCcCe Ir have such sound teeth ?

The McKinley administration {s becom- ing frightened over the Congressional sit- uation, and is issuing appeals over the country, asking local leaders to make all contests secondary to those in the Con- gressional districts. The situation in St. Louis is such as to arouse the gravest fears for the safety of Congressmen Pearce and Joy, and the leaders here have received an appeal, pre- sumably through National Committeeman Kerens, asking that if necessary every~+ thing be sacrificed to secure the re-election of these gentlemen. Of the success ol Congressman Bartholdt nobody has any doubt, but of the other two the most far- seeing Republicans are very doubtful. Especially is this true at this time in the case of Maj. Pearce. The revolt of the negroes, whose candidate, Dr. Scott, swears he will stay in the race to the end, and the disaffection among the white Repub- licans, and particularly those who have been closely identified with Mr. Filley, has aroused the gravest fears, In the case of Mr. Joy, his most fre- quently talked of opponent {s ex-Mayor EL. A. Noonan. Pat O'Malley is also a can- didate for the Democratic nomination. The Democratic leaders in the district have promised to carry it if Noonan is nomi- nated. The most exciting political canvass in the city is that in the Thirty-second Séna- torlal District. The most prominent can- didates for the Democratic nomination are John W. Dravene, James J. Butler and Thomas Ward. It was thought until Mr. Drabelle en- tered the race that Butler had a walk- over, but Drabelle’s friends now claim that Butler is not their most dangerous rivai. They say the fight lies between Dra- belle and Ward. It was rumored Monday that Ward might withdraw at the last moment and throw his strength to Butler, but Drabelle’s friends say this will help their candidate, instead of hurting him. SAID TO BE AT LARGE. A Lunatic Reported to Be Wandering About Carondelet. Carondelet policemen have been warned that a crazy man ig at large tn their dis- trict. The news has spread. Women and children are itn terror. They bar the doors and windows at night end in daylight they keep a constant vigil. The unfortunate ia Rev. R. D.

Mrs. Susan Carroll and her sister, Mra. Albert Willmer of 218 South Beaumont street, were fined $10 each by Judge Pea- body Friday morning. A. J. Ryan of 2806 Eugenia street, son of . ex-Justice Jeremiah Ryan, was the prose- cuting witness. All of the parties connected with the suit were eminently respectable, and their ap- pearance in police court attracted much attention. Ex-Gov. Charles P. Johnson was retained by Ryan to prosecute, From the evidence it appeePxd that the tvens, father and son, a few years ago, were interested in a building and loan ags- sociation. Among the investors solicited by them were Mrs. Carroll and Mrs. Will- mer. The association proved a financtal piqued at losing their money, taunted them upon the public streets, A. Ryan teatified that annoying that he their conduct had them afe- was so rested. GOT MARRIED AT LAST. Clnton Bramley and Miss Costley Wedded at Carlinville.

Her destination is supposed to be the Pacific Ocean and the Oregon will go with her. The voyage will hardly be made in as good time as the Oregon made her famous run. There is not the incentive for speed there was then, so there will not be such a vast con- sumption of coal. The ships will make about 10 or 11 knots an hour. In such voyages vessels keep about 400 yards apart. We will not go around the Horn, as sailing vessels have to, but through the Strait of Magellan. This route is about one week quicker than the other and saves many hardships, but it is not practicable for sailing vessels of any size. The Strait be- ing landlocked there are no storms in it. We will have warm weather throughout the trip, as it is the beginning of summer south of the equator. “Capt. Silas Terry succeeds Capt. Robley D. Evans as Commander of the Iowa, and will take her to the Pacific. The principal duty of the navigator on board ship is to determine the position of the vessel. This is done at $ a. m., noon and 4p. m., and as many more times. as the Captain orders it.” Lieut. Schuetze was transferred from the Marblehead to the Iowa last April, just in time to participate in all the sea fighting that was done against Spain in the waters of the Atlaatic. “The Iowa is the only vessel in the navy that was in all the fights,” said the Lieu- tenant, ‘‘and the only battleship that made the entire circuit of Cuba. She participated in eight bombardments and helped destroy Cervera’s fleet at Santiago. ° “The result of that fight demonstrated what naval men knew all along, that our big fighting ships were immensely superior to the best Spanish cruisers. The Vizcaya and the other vessels of her class were fine ships, but they did not compare with the Iowa, Oregon and our other battleships. They were about equal to the New York or Brooklyn. “The American ships were better manned and were better fought. If the Spanish vessels had been in charge of Americans some of them would have escaped or some of the attacking squadron would have been desrtoyed. “I don’t believe Cervera ever doubted the result, but he was ordered to come out of the harbor and he came. The Spaniards began firing as soon as we did, or sooner and they made it hot, -too, for a little while. But they couldn’t stand the tre- mendous shower of steel we gave them. They were destroyed by our secondary bat- teries. In a short time after the fight opened the enemy’s ships were on fire and their guns were silenced, “The lowa was srtuck by three big shells close to the water line, but was not injured, I think the shells came from the Christobal Colon. I was on the bridge by the conning tower with Capt. “vans throughout the fight. He was perfectly cool and handled the ship as calmly as though she were on review. “The small machine guns were not: used during the fight. They would have been of no service. “One great mistake the Spanish made was having so much woodwork on their ships. The lowa was stripped of every particle of wood as soon as war was de- clared. Everything about her rs steel ex- cept the furniture and that is non-com- bustible. The other American ships were treated in the same way as far as was yossible,”’ . Lieut. Schuetze has been in the navy 2 years, He is 46 years old and unmarried, > SOUSKS TELEPATHY Leader Develops Marvelous Power in a Peculiar Line. Band Everyone hae heard of telepathy, the new phsychological science of thought commu- nication. But not everyone has seen an illustration of how far it is possible for brains to communicate without material means of communication, or what use has been made of our knowledge of the faculty. Very few people have seen a man of pro- nounced telepathic power. John Phillip Sousa is a telepathist. With- out articulation, telegraph or telephone he can communicate intelligence to the brains of other men. Poseibly this faculty is nat- ural with Mr. Sousa. Or what is more probable his years of experience as a leader of men has developed the power to its won- derful penetration and strength. You are interested in this. Everyone fs. Telepathy is a new science, and its achieve- ments are new and interestin triumphs. Everyone will want to read of the power of the great musician’a brain; will want to know how he communicates his thoughts to the brains of others.

JOHN HICKEY, AGED 8 YEARS, MORTALLY WOUNDED BY A BOY OF 9 YEARS. DAVE BLUMENFELD’S PISTOL. Shocking Tragedy, About Which All the Young Participants Tell Different Stories. The boyish feud which may culminate in the death of John Vincent Hickey, an 8- year-old lad, has brought sorrow to two families and caused the police to make re- newed efforts to stop the pernicious prae- tice among boys of carrying pistols. David Blumenfeld, 9 years old, fired the shot that has sent young Hickey to the City Hospital perhaps mortally wounded. All night Blumenfeld cried in his cell in the police station at Seventh and Carr streets. He is 3 feet 6 inches high and frail looking. Friday he refused the bread and sausage diet offered him and begged that hie mother be sent to him so that he could get food sanctioned by his religion. Blumenfeld is repentant and tells a story of self-defense in these words: “I was going home from the store at 1022 Franklin avenue, where I work, Wednes- day night between 7 and 8 o'clock when I met a lot of fellows at Seventh and Biddle streets. They always hang around there to make the boys who pass give up money. They search the small boys. They wanted me to give up my mouth harp. I told them I would not. Then they all crowded ground me and one hit me in the jaw. You @n see what a big jaw I have. “Well, I began to get scared and ulled a seven shooter that I used on the Fourth of July. I did not know it was loaded, I yelled back at them. "Get away or I'll shoot.’ “ "Stop, you sheeny,’ they cried, and ran at me. hen I pulled the trigger. “The boy that I hit fell and then I first knew the thing was loaded. He shouted ‘Catch me,’ to ey of the gang and fell over. The minute I saw what I had done I threw the pistol down. “*l wouldn’t have moved that trigger for anything if I had known what woul have happened. I would be afraid of killing my- self if I carried a loaded pistol. I've played theater sometimes, and that’s why I kept it. us $1 to spare. We earn $1 a week each. I stopped the Jefferson School so I could work. My papa peddles old clothes and don't make much. aged 10, of 1214 North Charles Bunting, Seventh street, one of the crowd in the He says: fight, gives a different version. “Dave came along while us boys were playing. Some were playing a. game in which we cross the street often. Some were playing marbles. Dave said: ‘I want some of those chinies.’ He meant the marbles. We wouldn’t give up any. Then he said, ‘I'll fix you,’ and pulled his gun. My broth- er Tom started to take it away, but he shot Hickey before we could do anything. Dr. Rohlfing took the pistol and wrapped it up. CWe never hit the boy with a club. He had that swollen cheek a long time. A fire engine ran. over him once.’’ Young Hickey told Dr. Sutter that his crowd and Dave's crowd were playing. For a joke they started to hold Dave up. Then he fired. The bullet entered the boy's chest, and an X-ray operation will be performed, as the bullet has not yet been located. Young Blumenberg had a remarkable es- cape from death several months ago near his home, 711 Biddle street. While going to a grocery a fire engine passed him. He did not see the hook and ladder truck fol- lowing closely behind. The shaft struck his rib., breaking them, then the horses trampled on him. His right arm was broken and he was contused all over. Hickey’s father, now dead, was a ship- ping clerk at the Anheuser-Busch brewery. Mrs. Hickey is a scrubwoman at the Grand Restaurant. and has just moved into No. 1204 North Seventh street. Her second hus- band, named English, is a molder at Buck's foundry. ei } e We are assured on emple authority that Civilized man cannot live without cooks.

Dr..J. C. Armstrong. in his report of the home, has made euch a recommendation and the association hae taken so kindly to the project that $5000 has already en pledged. The Home is eald to sadly need money, as it has beds and rooms vacant because there are no funds to feed a greater num- ber of children than are now in the insti- tution, Reports from the Baptist Hospital and the Baptist Sanitarium show an increase in p& tients and in receipts.
