ENVOYS CAME FROM HIM. ADMITS THAT HIS CAUSE Is A HOPELESS ONE. A Belief at Manila That the Present Ne- gotiations Are Used as a Cloak to Strengthen the Hands of the Filipinos. MANILA, May 3, 8 p. m.—The F'lipino envoys, Major Manuel Arguelles and Lieut. Jose Bernal, have abandoned the pretense under which they came to Gen. Otis that they represented Gen. Antonio Luna, and to-day they announced openly that they came as representatives of Aguina!do him- self, The two emissaries used all their wiles to secure a reply from Gen. Otis to the letter from Senor Mabini, Aguinaldo’s Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs in the Filipino Cabinet, which they esented to Gen. Otis on yesterday, Dut nh. Otis refused to make any reply, on the ground that to do so would be equiva- lent to a recognition of the so-called guv- ernment of the Filipinos. Major Arguelles said that Aguinaldo knew that he would be overpowered in time, but that he would be able to continue the fight . for months, and that he would do so unless he were given what Major Arguelles termed ace with dignity. he conference to- lasted two hours he Filipinos asked for a truce of three t to enable Aguinaldo to- summon thé ‘Congress and consult with the insur- gent leaders or others of the islands. The envoys admitted the contention of Gen. Otis et Aguinaldo has little control over af- rs outside of the Island of Luzon. the question of the release of Spanish prisoners in the hands of the Filipinos Ar- uelles said that he considered them as ng in the same catesery with American prisoners, the United States being the suc- céesor of n m dominion over the island and acquiring by treaty all Spanish rights and obligations. After the close of the conference with Gen. Otis the Filipino envoys had a con- sultatlor® with the United States Philip- pine Commissioners. Many American oficers believe that the negotiations were intended to cover the maseing of insurgents at cortain points and ive them time to strengthen their posi- ions. Mr. Schurman, the president of the United States Philippine (‘ommiss‘on,’ ex- presses the opjnion that the interviews with the Filipino representatives will con- vince them that the Amer:can authorities mean to give the Filipinos a good govern- ment, and not one of the Snanizgh sort. ———. - J.

THE OLD STORY WITH NEW VARI- ATIONS IN CALIFORNIA. -_ Poor Girl Becomes an Old Man’s Daizl- ing, While His Heirs Pout and a Discarded Lover Sues for $20,000 Damages. * Special to the Post-Dispatch. SANTA BARBARA, Cal., May 3.—It was love at first sight, and as soon as their vows of undy'ng constancy had been ex- /changed Donald ~Conneil, farmhand, and Louisa Ketzler, kitchenmaid, drove to the Ceunty Courthouse apd got their marriage license. But the license was never ueed, for to- day Miss Ketzler, pretty and only ®, is the bride of Millionaire Benjamin Douglas, aged 84, and Connell fs: the plaintiff in an action against -her for breach of promise, claiming $20,000 damages. The octogenarian millionaire is named in the legal paperg as the one who destroyed the farmhand's happiness. — The Douglas establishment is one of the largest in town.. Mr. Douglas.was one of the founders. of a leading commercial agency, and retired years ago with several millions in cash to cnjoy life’s sunset. He turwed the great business over to his brother-in4taw, and came here to live with his married daughter, Mrs. Charles Fay, and her husband. Connell and Louisa Ketzgler were servants in his employ. Connell was a fine gardener, and Louisa th@ prettiest, most chliging k‘t- chen maid in the county. It was a year ago that the marriage li- cense was procured, the ring bought, the Rev. A. H. Carrier, pastor of the First Pres- byterlan Church, engaged to tie the Knot and friends invited to the ceremony. But the Fays objected. They told Lou.sa they should hate to lose so good a girl.. So Louisa thought tt over. The Fays were de- lighted. So was old Mr. Douglas, whose only heir was Mrs. Fay. At his request Louisa returned the ring to Connell. All went well t'll a’ few days ago, when the Fays were upset to learn that the octo- genarian widower was a devotee at the shrine of the plump, rosk kitchenmaid. They hired a lawyer to see. if there were not some way to restra'n the aged man. The lawyer said there wasn't. ‘Then the Faye discharged the girl and sent the old gent to a remote hamlet, Los Olivos, hoping to cure him of his _ love. Louisa went to San Francisco. Old Mr. Douglas tired of his lonely sur- roundings and came home, At the same time Louisa sought.Santa Barbara’s soft climate. The Fays were away: It was just the chance. The old géntleman drove to the Courthouse this time, got a license, came home, met Louisa and with her went to the ‘home of one of her humble friends. There they were marricd. The Fays heard the astounding news when they got home that night. | Mr. and Mrs. Douglas took a short wed- ding trip through Southern Cal#Hfornia, and when they returned found the Fays gone, bag and baggage. ome Poor Connell was in the saddest plight of all, heart. So now he sues. But Mrs. Douglas is safely installed in the big mansion, even if a lawyer has put in, as evidence, her love letters, her portrait, the unused marriage license and several love tokens, TRIED TO KILL WIFE AND SELF ___CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE. said to a reporter, “and I don’t.know who to suspect.” When informed tha the istol. from which the shots were fired belonged to him he said: “Yes; that’s true.

SUBJECT: “WOMAN’S RIGHTS.” She Is Writing a Bock and Has Daily Offers of Marriage and Theatri- cal Engagements. Special to the Post-Dispatch. CANTON, O., May 3.—Mrs. Anna E. George has definitely decided to take to the platform. Her first lecture will be given at Bittsburg May 9 on the subject of ‘‘Woman’s Rights.”’ The subject will not, however, be fol- lowed closely. She will exercise the right of a woman to ta‘k on what she pleases, and will give a resume of her life, sketch- ing all portions briefly. Her object in dwelling on her life and experiences {is three-fold: To attract at- tention, to arouse interest in an autobi- ogranphical vork which she is preparing, and to warn wives, mothers and daughters everywhere to be on their guard so as to preserve inviolate the sanctity of the home. She says she believes every woman should marry and have a happy home, | “I thoroughly believe in woman's rights,’ said she... “I see no reason why women should rot be allowed to vote on all ques- tions. Surely they are capable of exer- cizing this right and of doing at least as well as the men. “Women should be given equal privileges with men in the professions, and for their services should receive as much pay as men. It is not right to bar women from places of usefulness where they can do at least as well as men. “T would like to see woman take such a etand for her rights that she would be more indenendent, and would be fitted not only to care for terscelf. but I ‘think look after her home in a better way. “It seems to me women ought to be chosen to sit on juries. Why would it not be a good pian to have half men and half woren on a jury? I hel'eve the women would weigh a question carefully and give justice. “Women ought to be regarded with more sacredness. Home ties should he guarded jealously. and in order to do this -women should fit themselves for their station in the best posstib*e way.” Mrs. George has begun to compile and write matter for her book. She proposes in this to set forth in plain terms some of tre mistakes she made-and to emnhasize the necessity of watchfulness on the part of the women of the: land. Two other writers are working on his- tories of her life. A Canton firm has been ordered to nublish an edition of 1000 as soon as possible, to foliow this with a second edition of 15.000. Mrs. George is now’ negotiating with O., J. Hockett, New York. to close a contract of ® or 3 'tectures in Eastern cities, prin- cinally in New York. She realizes much depends on the Pitts- bure lecture, and will do hard work from now until the time to deliver her speech. Offers to go on the stdge and of mar- riage continue to come to her, The former she answers and declines. The latter she declines without answering. WILL FIGHT THE TRUST.

Willis, formerly City Works Commissioner of Brooklyn, and Wm, appropriation bill when it came up in the Sena- tor Farris offered an amendment striking out 17 items aggregating $15,000. Senator Morton, in supporting the amendment, said heads of State departments and State insti- tutions had repeatedly been warned that they must not exceed their appropriations. They had disregarded the warnings and had spent more than their allowancés, expect- “og, the State to come to their rescue. ese deficiencies had constantly in- creased and he thought it was time to call a halt.

ONLY ONE BILL NOT YET PASSED. CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE, a law on this subject, embodying the prin- ciples and remedies embodied in the Wha- ley bill. The public mind is all directed toward the enactment and enforcement of anti-trust laws. The State of Missouri, oceupy ing as prominent a position as it does in the Union, cannot affard to not have on its statute books ample remedies to protect its citizens in pursuing any legit- imate calling they may wish to follow to procure a livelihood for themselves and families, free from restraints and boycotts and imposition by trusts and combines. “The recent decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States show clearly that by reason of limited powers of the Federal Government, it is unable to con- trol these commercial vampires. The sov- ereign states, alone —— aii the re- served nowers of the poorse, ave the au- thority to regulate and control these mat- ters. “A system adapted to unduly increase the wealth of the rich and unjustly diminish the resources of the masses, is.a national evil. This trust system will wipe out commercial freedom and enact in its place commercial slavery of the masses. Person- al freedom and human liberty cannot long exist where commercial slavery reigns sgu- preme, “In conclusion, I urge you to promptly pass the needed legislation on this ques- tion. LON V.

PROMINENT WESTERN RAILRO PROMOTER ARRESTED. NUMEROUS FRAUDS CHARGED. Described by His Accuser as President of Numberless Imaginary Roads : and Copper Mines. NEW YORK, May 3.—Daniel Nossmore, formerly a prosperous ship owner of this city. has caused the arrest of William Bai- levy, who !s described by his accuser as president of numberiless imaginary rail- roads and copper mines in the West and the debtor of railroad magnates, banks and trust companies in this city. Daniel Nosstnore, who declares he had been victimized for ten years, has carried the order for the man’s arrest in his pock- ets since last February. When nearly pen- niless the former ship owner was joined in the hunt by Mr. Evans, lately superinten- dent of construction on one of Bailey's railroads. Mr. Evans says he represents workmen who were employed in constructing the Ta- coma & Columbia Railroad, Washington, Four series of bonds were issued on the railroad, but according to Mr. Evans the workmen were never paid. Mr. Evans also carried a warrant in his pocket for Bal- ley’s arrest. Buliey was Jocked up in_the Center strect police court prison, His arrest re- veals what is described as a gigantic scheme to swindle speculators in this vi- cirity. It began 12 years uguv when _fal- ley induced Judge laire of the Court of Common Pleas of vereey City and Dan- ie! Nossmore to put up forty certificutes of a Texas land company, valued at 3), in return for shares in one of Bailey's enterprises. Six thousand dollars was also placed in the Park Bank by Mr. Nossmore to pay & mortgage on the railroad. According to the complaints against him, Balley subse- auéntly issued four series of bonds on the Tacoma & Columbia River Railroad Com- pany, which was floated by him under dif- ferent names. It was also known as the Tacoma & Lake Park Rat.roed, of which Bailey was the president. He bought the road from the Lake Park Improvement Company in 1892. It is lHttle more than ll miles long and has 4 pound rails. Upon li miles it is asserted $250,000 worth of bonds were izsued. Subsequently 1800 feet of track were laid and another mortgage issued, it is said. bonds for $250.00 more being Iis- sued. All these bonds are now afloat.

ADULTERATION IS WIDESPREAD. BREAD OFTEN MADE OF SAWDUST AND ALUM. So Skillful Have Become the Manu- facturers That Nothing Short of a Chemical Analysis Can Expose Their Rascality. CHICAGO, May 3.—The Pure Food Com- mission appointed by tle United States Senate to investigate adulteration of food and drink, is all here with the exception of Senator Wetmore of Rhode Island, who is detained on account of illness. Besides Senator Mason of Illinois, who is chairman of the commission, the party consists of United States Senator Harris of Kansas; C. K. Lowe, clerk of the commis- sion; Charles E. Phelps, official stenog- rapher, and Dr. H. W. Wiley, chief chem- ist of the Agricultural Department at Washington. The trick of adulterating food-stuffs so that they will pass muster as pure with the average housewife has been reduced to an art and nothing short of a chemical an- alysis will, in most cases, expose the ras- cality of unprincipied dealers. The evil has been lessened by rigorous legal measures to this extent: While at one time the adul- tefants were positively injurious to health as well as fradulent to the purchaser, they are now for the most part harmless, the introduction of cheap and injurious mater- ials serving only the questionable purpose of increasing the profits at the expense of the customer. To begin with the “staff of life,”’ bread. It isa fact that bread can be made to look wholesome and attractive to the eye while it contains so little nourishment as to be almost incapable of supporting life. The flour used in this kind of bread is adul- terated usually with maize, or Indian corn, It was once the custom to use potato- flour as anadulterant of wheat-fiour and even saw-dust, finely ground, has been mixed with the genuine flour. It was dis- covered that alum.gave the bread a deli- cate white color and increased the size of the loaf, so that the housewife who .got bread made from alum-adulterated flour thought she was.getting a finer loaf of a larger size than the one she got from the honest baker. This adulterant proved so injurious to health that the authorities made a persistent attack on it and forced a discontinuance of its use. But beware of baking powders bought from unscrupu- lous dealers, for alum is still used in these. Another ingredient used in bread-making which lends itself readily to adulteration is yeast. Potato-flour is mixed with it, and serves also as an adulterant for such foods as oatmeal, tapioca and sago. Oatmeal is frequently adulterated with barley. or maize starch. Butter is a source of con- tinual trouble to the health authorities, for it is easy to ‘‘doctor” butter so that it looKs and tastes like the best made, while in reality it is almost worthless. The quan- tity of water in good butter is usually about 10 per cent or even less, but some of the butter sold to-day contains as much us 30, and even 35 per cent of water. Of course, if water can be sold for the same price per pound as biftter, the vendor is Quite willling to sell it. Butter adulteration is now confined al- most entirely to the admixture with mar- garine, a larger quantity of water than is necessary, and the addition of borax asa sreservative. When borax is added ¢o old utter it can be sold as fresh butter. Borax, like alum, is injurious to health, and should never be used in human food. Margarine is a mixture of animal fats, which, when carefully prepared, bears a close resem- blance to cows’ milk. There is nothing harmful about good margarine. The anly harm done in its use is the fraud per- petrated on the publio by selling a cheap adulterant as butter. It ts on record that a& case came before the authorities recent- ly where a charge was made of adulterating margarine with paraffin wax. Lard is adulterated in a scientific man- mer with the harder parts of cottonseed fat, known as cottonseed stearine. and beef fat. The analyst can readily detect these adulterations. If the lard is dissolved in ether and kept in a cool place it falls to the bottom of the vessel in the form of crystals. Beef fat crystals are very differ- pe Ag flee agen ek a — under the micro- an read distin s those of lard. 4 Sepaematareen Milk, which of all thi food should ng@s used as human be pure, is the most freque adulterated. It is so easy to add ater te milk. Milk under the microscope consists of a liquid with a number of round floating particles, which are globules of fat. Milk from which the cream has been taken and water: added is eeen under the microscope to contain very few of these globules of a = “ed 4 much liquid. a is rarely tampered with, } ~ thorities exercise very close Ew Bae and adulterated cargoes are refused ad- mission into the country.

The Kind You Have Always Bought MAY ADVIS FRANCHISE TAX Governor’s Implied Threat Seares the Senate. BEER BILL VETO EXPECTED. THEN A SPECIAL MESSAGE MAY BE LOOKED FOR. r In Fear of This Action Senators Will Call at the Executive Mansion in a Body to Ask Signature to the Farris Measure. ‘ Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., May 3.—Gov. Stephens is considering the advisability of sending to the Legislature a special mes- sage advising the enactment of a good franchise tax measure. .By so doing he would turn the tables on the Democratic Senators, who thought they had cornered him by passing the beer bill. Since the beer bill passed they have made no move toward passing a franchise tax bill, Now the Governor has almost decided to advise the passage of such a measure, and if he then vetoes the beer bill, as he is very likely to do, to use a slang phrase, it will be “up to” the Senate. “TIT am thinking of sending such a mes- sage to the Legislature,’ said the Governor this morning. “I have not done so before because I hoped the Senate would act on one of the ‘bills before it. I belleve that 90 per cent of the people favor such a tax. New York has just enacted a law of the kind and Kentucky has had one a good. many years. I recommended such a meas- ure in my message at the openeng of the Legislature. I had been watching it close- ly and ~% a~ the Senate would act. If it eee not may send in a message urging action. That will at least put the adminis- tration on the right side of the record, whether the Senate chooses to follow my advice or not.’’ The Senators who pinned their faith to the beer bill as a revenue producer are almost in a panic over the likelihood of a veto. They have decided to go in a body to the Governor and — to him not to veto the bill. They ll probably do this this morning. They are threatening all sorts of dire revenge if he does veto the bill, but it is not easy to see what they can do. Their position will be especially hard if the Governor couples a veto with a recommendation for a frdnchise tax bill, the thing of all others they don’t wish to vote for. Senator Young, chairman of the Senate Committee on eine ys which has had the Fitzgerald franchise tax bill for a month, has at last decided to call a meet- ing of the committee for =e purpose of con- sidering this and the Hall franchise tax bill. Now that the Legislature is confronted with the probability of the Governor vetoing the beer inspection bill, and a consequent loss of a good revenue ruiser, attention has been turned to these franchise bills. It is a bitter pill for the Democrats of the Sen- ate to have to take up franchise tax legis- lation after all. They thought the hills had been put to sleep for two years ai least in Senator Young’s committee room, but the necessity for revenue may force their awakening. It is now being intimated that the organ- ized railroad lobby assisted in the passage of the beer bill in order to divert attention from the franchise bills and to render their passage unnocessary. A franchise bill was recommended for passage by a House Committee vesterday, which is simplicity itself. It was introduced by Mr. Sullivan. It follows: “Section 1. Every street railway compa- ny, telephone company, electric light corn- pany, electric power company, gas com- pany, waterworks company, ferry com- pany, bridge company, conduit company, shall, in addition to the other taxes im- posed by law, annually pay to the State a tax of 15 cents on each $100 valuation of its franchises in this State for State rurposes, and 10 cents on each $10 of such valuation for the payment of the State indebtedness; and a local tax thereon to the county, city, incorporated town or village, taxing district or school district wherein its franchises may be exercised, said tax to be collected as other taxes are collected for like pur- oses.”" This bili is much shorter than any other presented to the Legislature. But it is stated by a prominent State officer that even as long a bill as this is not neces- sary. He says the taxation of franchises could be provided for in ‘the revision of the revenue by the insertion of half a dozen lines enjoining upon the State Board of Equalization and local assessors the duty of assessing them on an equality with other property. SEEMS A USELESS APPENDAGE. Calendar Committee of the House Com- mits a Gross Error. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., May 3.—Mem- bers of the House who believe the calen- dar committee is a useless appendage, have discovered an absurdity in the work of the committee, which certainly indicates the grossest carelessness, and may result in the discharge of the committee. Monday the committee recommended the indefinite postponement of a lot of bills. Among the number were 502 and 503. Half an hour later the Governor returned 03 with his approval, and it was discovere:|! that 502 had passed the House and was in the Senate. The committee had attempted to indefinitely postpone two bills which the House had passed some time before. When the calendar committee discovered its mistake the report was hastily re- called and a néw report presented, from which these two bills were omitted. But the mistake had been noticed bv others, and yesterday Mr. Hall moved that a re- port of the committee be tabled and the committee discharged. The Speaker chose to hear only the first part of the motion, and put only that part, but the House un- derstood it all, and the calendar commit- tee may wake up some morning and dis- cover that it no longer exists. EASY ON THE CORPORATIONS. Revised Law as Proposed Relieves Them of Merchants’ Tax. Special to the Poat-Dispatch JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., May 3.—It has been discovered that the revision of the chapter on merchants’ licenses contains no reference to corporations jin its provis- visions. Senator Hohenschild had charge of this and his excuse is that he followed the old law, which is silent about corpora- tions. Under the law, ae it now stands, corporations would he exempt from mer- chants’ license taxes. The bill will be amended in the House. ON THE BEER BILL. Senators Will Present Arguments Cp- posing Veto by the Governor. Special to the Post-Dispatch.

Jeff Pollard Put the Power in Steph- ens’ Hands and Brady and Spauld- ing Bowed to His Will. Special to the Post-Dispatch. - JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., May 3.—Gov. Stephens turned down Nick Griffin, Sec- retary of the Democratic City Executive Committee, hard in the appointment under the law creating the new justices courts in St. Louis. It seems that Justice Spaulding and Ben Brady, who promoted the measure, promised Griffin the appointment as clerk at $100 a month. ‘ They could safely do that. when they thought the Court of Appeals would have the appointment-of justices and constables unde@ the act. But Jeff Pollard knocked out this carefully laid plan by having the bill amended so as to give the Governor the appointment. After the bill had passed the Governor told Spaulding.and Brady he understood they intended to appoint Griffin, They said they did “That won't do,-gentlemen,’’ he said. “I won't stand for it. I will not issue com- missions to you except on your solemn promise that you will not appoint Grif- fin.’ They gave the promise. ‘“‘Now, have you any other choice?’ asked the Governor. They had no choice, to Griffin. “Then, if you have no choice,’’’ said the Governor, ‘I will make a suggestion.’ He suggested a young man named Paris Wolfe, who lives at California, who has been. a clerk in the House and is a dis- tant relative of the Governor’s family. Wolfe will be appointed. His appointment has already caused great discontent among the St. Louis members and politicians, who resent the selection of @ man from the country for a city position. SHE FIGHTS THE CIGARETTE. Mrs. F. H. Ingalls Forces the Orchard , Committee to Take Action. Special to the Powt-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., May 3.—Mr1s. F. H. Ingalls of St. Louis inaugurated a spirited anti-cigarette war this morning and incidentally went after Senator Or- chard with a sharp stick. An anti-cigarette bill passed by the House has been before Orchard’s Committee on Criminal Juris- rudence a month or more. All efforts of ts friends to dislodge it were unavailing. ‘Mrs. Ingalls is a zealous enemy of the cigarette and she determined to try heroic measures. This morning she secured the signatures of a majority of the members of the committee to an agreement demand- ing that the bill be reported favorably at once. She secured the signatures not only of the members of the committee, but of all the Representatives in the House from Orchard's district. When Senator Orchard was apprised of her campaign, he laughed and said she seemed to be running the committee and, therefore, the matter was out of his hands. Mrs. Ingalls smiled. REAPS A PROFIT OF $40,000. New York Bank’s Share of Spain's $20,000,000 Transaction. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, May 3.—The National City Bank officially confirmed the Post-Dis- patch’s announcement thatit is to carry out the payment of the $20,000,000 to Spain. The four drafts have been deposited with the bank by Ambassador Cambon, and two of them, for $10,000,000, will pass through the clearing house and be presented at the sub-treasury for payment some day this week, perhaps to-day. In the meantime the Deutsche Bank of Berlin has notified the Spanish Government that the equivalent of the $20,000,000 in for- eign exchange is now lying to the credit of the crown and can be drawn against it at once by the Spanish Minister of Finance. While the exchange transaction is secret it is estimated that the profit to the Na- tional City Bank by the transaction will be about $40,000. Cc. Schumacher, of C. Schumacher & Co., who are the leading authority on foreign exchange in Wall street, was asked these questions regarding the transaction: What profit would Spain have made by buying $20,000,000 exchange, say, two weeks ago? At the rate prevailing to-day she lose? Mr. Schumacher replied: ‘Answer to first question, 1 cent per pound, $40,000; answer to the second ques- tion, 1 cent per pound, $40,000.’’ The price of exchange has been advanced in anticipation of the payment, It was quoted at 4.83 about six weeks ago, which would have given Spain a very handsome profit on the transaction. having pledged it what would Fortunes | Made daily in the Carthage-Joplin district.

B. NUGENT & BRO. . DRY GOODS Co. Broadway, Washington Av. and St. Charles St. AUS, BILL ' > STREET CONSOLIDATION MEAS- URE DRAWN BY PRIEST. _—_— Special to the Post-Dispatch. JHBFFERSON CITY, Mo., May 3.—The de- sire of the Brown Bros, Syndicate, which now owns the Lindell Railway Co., that the Legislature passed the revised Dill drawn by Judge H. S. Priest, allowing street railways to consolidate by purchas- ing other lines, is partially explained by the fact that the Lindell Railway Co. is now a defendant before the Supreme Court in a suit instituted by the Attorney-Genera] to declare its charter null and void, because it bought another line. This suit is pending, and if the Legisla- ture could be induced to legalize the pur- chase of other lines, the ground for it would be removed and Brown Bros. wouid be at liberty to consolidate all their re- cently acquired street railway properties into one system. They could also put to more profitable use the Central Traction franchise by building the connecting lines it authorizes, thus binding together and making homogeneous the Lindell, Missouri and Scuilin lines. Opposition to the billis growing. Senator Fields is one of its strongest opponents, He says the Legislature by the passxge of such an act would legalize the worst sort of a trust—a transportation monopoly —and would fasten upon the people a burden which they might never be able to remove. Another feature of the bill which is de- clared to be vicious is the section which permits a majority cf ihe snarehoiders to issue preferred stock, The oid iaw ex- pressiy provides that preferred stock may be issued only with the consent of @i the shareholders. Section 17 of this bill says: cAnY railroad company organized under the provisions of this act, or accepting the provisions thereof, mav_ issue preferred stock for such amount and upon such terms and conditions as the Board of Dtrectors may prescribe, by and with the consent of the shareholders of such company ex- pressed at a regular or special meeiing of such stockholders called upon 20 days’ pub- lished notice or 20 days’ writ:en notice to each registered stockholder addressed tw him at the last known address.’’ LITTLE GRAIN IS UNLOADED. Labor Situation in Buffalo Not in the Least Improved. BUFFALA, N. Y., May 3.—So far as the unloading of grain is concerned there is no improvement in the labor situation this morning. It is estimated that over 6,000,000 bushels of grain are now afloat in the harbor and not more than 1,250,000 bushels have been elevated thus far. Henry C. Barter, general secretary and treasurer of the International Longshoremen’s Associa- tion, is here for the purpose of inquiring into the trouble. He called on Contracior Connors, and the latter served notice on him calling upon him to furnish 300 grain shoveiers to assist in un.oading the veaseis here.

The nervous system is the fountain irom which flows the very Essence of life, and which preserves through- out all the years of our lives that personality and individuality that makes each one of us what we are. When the nerves become irritated or exhausted from sickness or strain, when the brain has been weakened from overwork, loss of sleep, or any cause whatever, derangements of the nerve centers follow, and such mani- festations as sick headache, loss of appetite, flatulency, sour stomach, dyspepsia, nervousness, irritability, follow as anaturalresult. Dr. Miles’ Restorative Nervine is fully compe- tent to correct all such disordered conditions of the nerve centers. It gives the tortured nerves a rest and permits them: to recover their tone and steadiness.

POST-DISPATO FOR THE PAST EIGHT MONTHS HAS CARRIEO 24% More.Paid Locaf Advertising * THAN BOTH THE OTHER EVENING PAPERS COMBINED. WHY? BECAUSE IT IS THE SHOPPER'S RECOGNIZED GUIDE, CCC TO THE BATTLE IS ON. In affirming the validity of the section of the anti-trust law which frees the purchaser of any trust commodity from lia- bility for payment the St. Louis Court of Appeals has thrown a bomb in the trust camp. The fighting has begun. In addition to the affirmation of the validity of the law the court added an important opinion to the effect that the trusts cannot nide behind incorporation. In the words of the decision, ‘“‘A combination which is illegal under the anti-trust law cannot be operated under the cloak of a corporation by its constituent members or governing bodies.” This decision apparently knocks out the attempt to evade anti-trust laws by the consolidation and incorporation of the trust concerns. It reaches the heart of the combine. It also strikes the root of business credit, so far as trusts and com- bine corporations are concerned. It will be interesting to rote the effect. The measures di- rected against trust monopolies are more or less experimental and their ultimate effects cannot always be predicted. Will the trusts be abie to force purchasers to terms by which they will be able to avoid losses under this law and continue to do business in the State? But the thing of greatest import in the decision.is the car- rying out by the court of the most radical and damaging pro- vision of the anti-trust act of 1891 in the spirit and intent of the law. The trust issue is made acute. The battle is on in Missouri and must be fought out. Now that the Court of Appéals has sustained the law and pulled the mask from the combine corporations the way is opened to smash all forms of combines. What will Attorney- General Crow do with his opportunity? The eyes of the Amer- lcan people are on Missouri in this contest. The people of St. Louls have reason to be proud of the record they have made in raising the World’s Fair fund to its pres- ent figures. But they cannot afford to rest on their oars now. A supreme effort must be made to complete the fund within the next week or ten days. Otherwise the good effect will be lost. Many promised subscriptions will be withdrawn through subscribers becoming discouraged. The entire scheme depends upon the raising of the remainder of the fund. Is any St. Louisan so lacking in spirit to fail to stand by this great project, or to reap its benefits without having done his part in its inception? We do not believe there are any such. Business interests and individuals who have not subscribed should do so at once. The country is watching St. Louis. Rep- Utation and success depend on the patriotic action of citizens Vithin the next few days. — — — SEE THE WILD FLOWERS. It was a very happy idea of the Engelmann Botanical Club of St. Louis to give an exhibit of the wild flowers of Missouri next Suturday. We have grand shows of chrysanthemums and garden beau- ties, but except in the matter of size, the spring flowers now dotting fleld and forest can vie with these in every particular. Indeed, as is well known, most wild flowers are more perfect and interesting than many cultivated blossoms. The flower Whose delicate stamens have been changed into a disorderly bunch of shapeless petals by cultivation may make a fine show, but it is a monstrosity from the botanist’s point of view. The unspoiled wild flowers will always hold their own in a com- parison. Children are especially fond of wild flowers, and the school children should be given an opportunity to enjoy the u exhibition. joy the unique _. 7” = = _ si an 4 There is not a bit of waste in a subscription to the World's Fair, Every dollar works a benefit. = = = ———— a ae THE SOURCE:OF GERMAN ILL-FEELING. Assurances given by the German Foreign Office, published in Sunday's Post-Dispatch, opght to go far to dissipate any @pprehension of trouble between the two countries. The tone is distinctly pacific and conciliatory. At the same time the extracts from well informed German newspepers which accompany this interview, point to a singu- lar condition of affairs in Berlin. The charge is made that the Emperor himself, ignoring the officials of the Foreign Of- ‘fice and Navy I’epartment, sent the instructions to Admira} Von Diedrichs which encouraged that officer to act the boor after the battle uf Manila Bay, one year ago. If this is true. the real source of danger is revealed. The Eiaperor does his own thinking, and, it is said, often takes the most serious questions out of the hands of his Ministers, How- ever wise and prudent he may be in the actual conduct of af- fairs, confusion is sure to arise if his Ministers are thus com- delled to work in the dark.

SSE ——— WHO ARE THE TRAITORS ? The State Senate has sent to engrossment the revised chapter of the act relating to street railroads, containing the new provision authorizing the consolidation of street railway lines in this State. : If this iniquitous measure to legalize a great street railroad combine becomes law the Senators who vote for it cannot plead ignorance of its nature and purpose, nor of the conspiracy to incorporate it into the laws of Missouri. Every move on the part of the street railroad combine now waiting an oppurtunity to gobble the street railroad properties in St. Louls and other Missouri cities has been exposed by the Post-Dispatch. The effort to amend the corporation law was exposed and defeated. Finding an open fight impracticable, the conspirators at- tempted to sneak the authorization through the Revision Com- mittee. They found assistants in the Joint*Committee on Private Corporations, who, after hearing the attorneys of the street railroad combine, approved the measure, incorporated it in the street railroad chapter and sent it to the Revision Comniittee to be favorably reported. The Senate has ordered the engrossment of the chapter as changed by the committee. The Pest-Dispatch does not propose that there shall be any misunderstanding about this measure. It is a trust scheme, designed and sneaked into the bill far the sole purpose of en- abling the street car combine to be perfected under the au- thorization of Missouri laws. “ Not only will it give legal protection to g monstrous and oppressive combine, but it will result in the centralization jn the hands of the managers of the street railroads of vast political power in the cities of the State. The trust magnates will hold ‘the balance of the power at the ballot box and will organize the municipal governments -in théir own interests and in the interests of allied corporations. “They will form a powerful nucleus for the corruption and control of voters, political machines and municipal governments. The power of thigs.combine will be used not only to oppress the people of the cities, but against any political party in the State or nation which attempts to protect the people. The passage of this bill as it stands would be a betrayal on the part of the Democratic majority in the State Legislature of the people of the cities and of the Democratic party. It would turn its anti-trust legislation into a farce and a pretence. Attorney-General Griggs, for the Republicans, has turned over anti-trust work to the States. Will Missouri answer this challenge by passing a trust-enabling act? We shall see who of the Legislators posing as anti-trust champions will prove trust allies and tools by voting for this measure in aid and promotion of a combine. The Post-Dispatch will take special care to fix responsibility for the treachery, should the consolidation provision be embodied in the statutes. It is thought that the Porto Rico board appointed by the President will recommend the granting of franchises, and as the granting will be done by Alger, the discredited Secretary of War will be for a time a very powerful person. Mr. Mc- Kinley considers himself so popular that no amount of power and honors conferred by him upon incompetent or corrupt of- ficials can affect his standing. The educated “treason” of Chicago seems to be even worse thas the New England article. No patriot, however, need fear for the country. There are no more loyal people anywhere than our American “traitors.’’ The cry of ‘“‘treason” is a diaph- anous political dodge, raised to cover maladministration. The country is entirely safe from everybody but the grabbers who are organizing trusts. An example of enlightened enterprise on the part of State officials is furnished by the action of the Michigan State Board of Health, which is ertgaged in widely advertising Michigan's health resorts. When State officers are alive to the State’s interests, the people are encouraged and the conditions of life are improved. In making an appropriation for Buffalo's fair, the Missouri Legislature has acted wisely. Buffalo is one of the most pro- gressive cities in America and is sure to return the favor in good shape in 1903. Besides, Missouri can make an exhibit at Buffalo that will redound to her own credit. -Judge Adams’ opinion,ythat the intelligent offender deserves less leniency than the one who is ignorant and in a bad en- vironment wili be generally approved.

Agriculture, mining, art and com- merce may all be given a decided advance, and the State brought to deserved recogni- tfon by the success of the proposed interna- tional exposition. Every farm and every RR gaa ach eb | town in the State should give to St. Louis moral and financial re-enforcement to her noble and praiseworthy efforts to make the tea aaa greatest in the history of the worad.

It was the scene of a series of the most mysterious robberies that baffled the keeriest sleuthhounds of the detective forces.” ” Just as I entered the parlor I heard my English friend relating the above to his little champion, who was listening to nis words just as I have often pictured Desdemona listening to the recitals of the love-mad Moor. “That sounds like a possible romance, I said to myself as I pricked up my ears like a warhorse at the first sound of the bugle’s call, and I sat demurely down and took out pencil and paper. We were stopping at a boarding house in the mountains of Tennessee, and we had all. become like one large family and said what we liked to each other in our playful way. “Resume your story, doctor,” sweetly. And the big maw immediately obeyed. Love is a wonderful mystery. “Every day some man or woman would find himself or herself relieved of a val- uable watch, or brooch, or bracelet, or money, and not the slightest clew could be found to the robbery. The most noted de- tectives were oontinually baffled and the mystery grew deeper and darker. “Finally a young man presented himself to the head-of the detective forces and of- fered his services to ferret out the seeming- ly fathomless mystery. The young man was tall and angular, and awkward. But he bad a head like Napoleon Bonaparte’s, and the head o the detective force, in sheer desperation over all the other failures, told the young man he might try his hand. ‘At that time the best English farmers dressed like the caricatures of ‘John Bull: and Fielding, the new detective, conceived the {dea of acting the roie of a well-to-do she said d | farmer, with pockets full of money, and DR. GILBERT'S FISH STORY. | anxious to paint the town red. “There was one drawback to his clever scheme; for Fielding was tall and thin, while the typical John Bull was just the opposite. However, with the aid of a pil- low or two and various other parapher- nalia he soon had himself rigged ‘to the Queen's taste’—big stomach, loose pockets with flap unbuttoned and hanging loose; rattling his money with hig,left hand while he walked along gaping at the houses, and whistling a tune that savored strongly of rusticity. _ “Suddenly he felt a slight tremor near his right-hand pocket, which was flaring temptingly open. “The tremor was so very slight that only the most ‘sensitive nerves could have de- tected it. He pretended not to notice any- thing and continued to lounge along un- ceremoniously and _ =indifferently, never quivering even the muscle of an eyelid, un- til he knew the hand was well in—then he clapped his own over it, whipped out a revolver, shoved it into the face of his captive, and said sternly, ‘Surrender, my man; I’ve got you now.’ “But his ‘man’ had no notion of ylelding so readily. He gave one quick, sudden jerk in the desperate hope of freeing his imprisoned hand. But the jerk was in- stantly followed by a sharp scream of pain, as he felt what seemed to him like barbed arrows plercing the tender flesh of his white hand that was soft and dainty as a woman's, “The robber proved to be a descendant of one of Europe’s titled families. He had been mingling with the best element at Bath. “All the women, with their usual enthu- siasm and lack of prudence—where a hand- some, dashing, fascinating man is con- cerned—haad received him into their most ex- clusive circles with smiles of welcome. “He was tried, proven to be one of the world's most notorious robbers, convicted and sentenced. The capture created a sen- sation. the like of which Bath has never since known.’—New Orleans Times-Demo- craw | ‘tee e 4 tg os : a5 | OS CL NED.

The recent actions of the Germans at Samoa are emply sufficient to convince any one but those who suppyessed the ‘Remem- ber the Maine” crackers,. etc., that that country and its Government are ly far from being friehdly. If Samoa is not ample proof, what about the action of the high-class German gentleman and office toward the officers of our Oregon at RM lately? Give us all the truth about the war. Too much has been suppressed already. If we had a few more Capt. Joseph B. Coghilans and Gen. Nelson A. Mileses and less Algers and Eagans there is no doubt but that we would be better off.

So far they have been wonderfully lucky, winning simply by their pitchers holdin the opposition down and through no goo hitting of their own. When they meet teams that can pile up a few runs they will have to do likewise or suffer the consequences. The next four days the St. Louis team pears at Cincinnati and it will have to race up in its hitting if it wants to win all or half of its games from that club. The statement that Burkett had quit the Gt. Louis team to attend the bedside of his sick mother, it appears, was without foundation and the best hitter on the team, it is said, will be with it in Wednesday's opening game at Cincinnati. The attendance at the games in Cleve- land shows that base ball has reached the end of its rope in the Forest City, and that in a very little while that-town will be wiped off the baseball map. An attend- ance of 0 per day will not pay ground rent and advertising bills, to say nothing of the salaries of the players. Pat yeherey 9 Otumwa team, which is made up mostly of 8t.

Bob Douglas and Joe Frede to Furnish the Curtain Raiser to the Die- ters-Neist Contest. — An Associated Press dispatch from Den- ver this morning indicates that the Fitz- Jeffries fight may be brought off in Den- ver. It reads: “Denver, Colo., May 8.—Manager Otto C. Floto of the Colorado Athletic Association says thatthe Fitzsimmons-Jeffries fight will takeplace in Denver. He offered a purse of $25,000 this morning, and received a dis- patch from the principals requesting him to go to New York to arrange the details. Bob Fitzsimmons and Jim Jeffries are this morning homeless. They were to have fought before the Co- ney Island Athletic Club on May &. On Tuesday the Board of Police Com- missioners of New York refused to grant this club a license to bring off this fight }and this morning the two big men of the pugilistic world are out in the cold. Smart people think the refusal to grant the license was made in the interest of Tom O’Rourke, who is trying to force the big fellows to fight before his club. The refuea] of the commissioners to grant the Coney I*land Athletic Club a licensee really means that Fitz and Jeffries must fight some other place than New York. It also means that perhaps the fight will be deciared off and will not take place at all, for Fitzsimmons is in that position that he will not fight unless there is a large sum of money in sight and it is hard to gee where that money can be found, now that they are barred from meeting in the metropolis. Despite the action of the commissioners, however, the two men appear to be going right ahead with the.r training. The champion has hired a handsome cottage at Bath Beach for his quarters, and has had the barn adjoining the house fitted up as a gymnasium for indoor exercise. itz was offered big inducements to train at Bergen Beach, but preferred a more quiet section. Jeffries is at Asbury Park with Tommy Ryan, Billy Delaney and his brother, Jack, ———— him. Ryan laughs at the idea of McCoy chal- maeing the winner of the big fight. “He should challenge me first.”’ says Ryan, ‘if he wants a fight and wants it quick.” Considerable local interest is felt in the 20-round mill to take place in the West End Club’s arena on Wednesday night. The principals are Al Neist and Cotton Dieters, who have a large following locally. There will be only one curtain raiser on Wednesday evening and that will be the six-round go to a decision of Asher and Kaufman. The first bout will take place at promptly 8:30 the Neist-Dieters mill directly after- wards. President Haughton promises there will be no tedious delays th!s time and that both mills will be brought off prompt- ly on time The West End Club on Tuesday morning closed the best match it has perhaps ever made. It is nothing more nor less than a 2-round go between Morris Rauch, the champion bantam of Chicago, and Clarence Forbes. They will mill at 112 pounds. Mr. Haughton closed the match by wire Wed- nesday. Rauch is the bantam who fought such great fights with Frankie Noel and Forbes is said to be just as great a pugilist as the little Chicago man. The mill between Gus Ruhlin and Peter Maher, the heavyweights, which took place before the Broadway Club, New ork, Tuesday night, was declared ai draw. Maher weighed 181 pounds and Ruhlin 190. As soon as the referee called them together for instructions, Maher sized up his op- ponent and, as he retired to his corner, he said: ‘‘l've got an easy thing.’ But it did not prove am easy thing. Ruhlin gas as good as was sent from the ‘beginning and at the end the bout was declared a draw. Beginning the nineteenth round Ruhlin er out of his corner like a kangaroo, ut Maher evaded his rush. Ruhlin then ducked into a left-hand hook, which bled his right eye. In the twentieth round Maher led, but failed to land. Ruhlin landed a right on the head and Maher countered on the stomach. Ruhlin ‘tried a left hand for the head, but missed anda Maher got under, countering on the wind. He waa willing to rush matters, but Ruhlin stood off his rushes and the referee decided the bout a draw. Maher was nine pounds the lighter of the two. He was the odds-on favorite at 100 to 6.

Twenty minutes later they ran it off and Frelinghuysen won.

Schreiber and all the other St. Louis turtmen who have heen racing their horses there are expected to leave the coast on Wednesday night. There are arrivals daily at the Fair Grounds from all sections, and by Saturday night stabling room there wili be at a premium. ‘“T think this St. Touls meeting will be the greatest we have ever had,’ sald Louls Cella, Tuesday. “I have just come from ‘Memphis, and all who were there talkei as though they intended racing their horses here this summer. é “With the Southern and Western, «the native and a few Eastern horses th: racing material will be away ahead of anything we have ever had here and the meeting in consequence will be rhe -reatest St. Louisans have ever seen treated to.” Cella, Adler and Tilles have bought up the field book privilege xt the Fair Grcunds and they will also put on one or two books in the big ring. Sam Adler one of the members of the firm, will go East and book on the Eastern tracks during the summer, while his part- ners will look after things at home. There are two great races on the card for this week. The Kertucky Derby will be run on Thursday, the opening day_of the Loulsville Jockey Club’s meeting. The probable starters at this writing are Cor- sine, Manuel, His Lordship and Mazo. This will make the fleld a very small one, Con- ley will ride Mazo, Tara] will have the mount on Manuel, N. Turner in booked to ee His Lordship and Burns will ride Cor- sine. The best time made by the Derby can- didates to date Is as follows: Corsine, 2:15; Manuel], 2:10%: His Lordship, 2:12; Fontain- bleu, 2:15:44: Mazo, 2:13%; False Lead, 2:144. Corsine is expected to cut off several sec- cnds in the race, but whether he can beat the fleet Manuel is doubtful, The winner will have to make the distance in less than 2:09 if the track is good. Fontainbleu fin- isheadl very tired in his !ast trial and wiil hardly start. Mazo will be heavily backed unless he falls down at the last moment. His Loristip’s owner, Mrs. McClelland, thinks he is good to show. Corsine is said to have been leg weary at the Snish of his trial Monday, but there are many who think the Corrigan colt !s going to beat Manuel, thotigh all admit that it is going to be a pretty race between these two. The opening of tre Morris Park meeting on Saturday will be even a bigger event than the opening at Louisville ursday. The features on _the opening day there will be the Juvenile Stakes, for 2-year-olds, with $2000 added; the Metrepolitan Handicap, for 3-year-olds and upward, with $3400 added, and the New York Steeplechase, for 4-year- olds and upward, with @ added. The Ju- venile will be run over the last five fur- longs of the Withers Cuurse, the Metro- a ag over the Withers mile and the New ork Steeplechase over a two-mile course, through the fleld. In the Juvenile turfmen will have a view of the first company of stake 2-year-olds seen this season, and in the steeplechase they will see some of the ae for cross-country championship onors. It is in the Metropolitan Handicap that the greatest interest wi!ll center. Many of the horses named for it already have made a good record, while others are of brilliant promise. Then to the Metropolitan horse- men frequently look for a fine line on the Krocklyn, Suburban and Brighton handi- caps, Which will be run hater in the season Retter field than will go to the post for this Metropolitan seldom has been started in it The list of probable starters, with the Weirhts they will carry ard the jockeys who will ride them, is as follows: Horse, Age and Jockey.

Every one of them has given a good account of him- self in public as well as private. Some of them have had a couple of races. All of them are as fit as their trainers can make them, Unless there is a dark horse—and a dark horse of the deepest dye—among the list of eligible starters, the n who ce forward to seeing a horse race of the first water in this Metropolitan will not be 4.s- appointed. Of the merite of the different horses and the probable running and result of the race more will be said on the morn- ing of the opening day, Saturday. With ‘the Amateurs. with W.

A Chouteau Avenue Cigar Maker Had Great Difficulty in His Efforts to Distance His Pursuer. A plump, fair woman, about 30 years old, whose features were’ almost concealed by @ sun bonnet, .stood on Ewing avenue, west of Chouteau, for half an hour Tuesday She was evidently waiting for somebody. At 6 o'clock Robert F. Leiner, a cigar- maker, who, with his brother. rns a fac- tory at 2907 Chouteau avenue, came on the gecene. He was going to 2758 Rutger street, were he lives with his wife. The woman in the sun bonnet noted the approach of Leiner. When he gof within ‘gtriking distance she drew a cowhide from the folds of her dress and with a “you lit- tle wretch,” struck Leiner with it. ‘Leiner is a short, stout man and doesn't look Mike a sprinter, but he very quvicklv developed notable ability in that line. He followed by ‘the woman, who showered blows on his peed. back and shoulders as fast and as rd as she could. “TI thought it was somebody beating a horse till I locked out and saw a woman Whipping a man,” said the woman who the meat market orm the corner of ng avenue and La Salle street. As iner drew away from the woman with the whip a crowd of boys who were ying ball in the street concluded that he a thief and they pelted him with bats and stones. None of the blows he received were heavy mough to stop him and he finally dashed through the gate of his home, still pursued by the boys. The woman who opened the battle had been distanced and had given up the chase. Leiner said Wednesday: “I have this to gay—I have nothing to say till the proper time then will say what I have + %? to say. “When will that be?” “T have nothing to say whatever, except I have stated already.” . _ People who live in the vicinity of Leiner’s ohn Cameron, who formerly lived out on = John ¢ say that his aesailant was Mrs. Pre oe, as ‘othe a 2s A on. a ot} 7 a % pton avenue, but whose present address do not know.

ABOUT TO LOSE HIS POSITION. He Had Traveled Fifteen Years for the Simmons Hardware Co., but Had Grown Negligent. R. W. Morton of Cape Girardeau, Mo., salesman for the Simmons Hardware Co., shot himself through the head in a rooin tn the Terminal Hotel Tuesday afternoon. The body was found about 7 o’clock Tues- day evening, but life had been extinct sev- eral hours. It was a plain case of delib- erate suicide. Morton had been working for the Sim- mons Company for 12 or 15 years. He was reputed to be a fine salesman, but careless as to details, such as posting prices, an- swering correspondence and adjusting aif- ferences with customers. This conduct went on until the company summoned him iest week to come in, bring nals samples and explain himself. This was equivalent to a discharge. Morton went to Cape Girardeau Sunday, and passed the day with his family. He reached the Terminal Hotel Monday, and the chief clerk, M. Noble, his close friend, noticed that his usual! joviality had given away to sullenness. Nobie assigned Morton to a room, to which Morton went late Monday : night. The chambermaid woke him when she entered about 1 o’clock Tuesday afternoon, but he turned over and went to sleep again. She was the last person to see him alive. About 6 o’clock Tuesday evening the chambermaid tried to open Morton's door, but found it bolted on the inside. She be- came alarmed and called a bell boy, and he called Noble, the clerk. Noble climbed to the transom, broke the glass, opened the door and fell over the body of Morton, which lay on the floor in front 2f the dresser, the right hand still clutching the revolver from which he had fired the shot that ended his life. There was a builet hole in his head. Morton’s suicide had been carefully and deliberately planned. He had undressed to his underclothing, placed himself be- fore the mirror and put the revolver a his head, coolly and carefully. On the ded he left a bundle containing his catalogues and samples, and a letter addressed to the Simmons Company. Thess had not been re- celved by the Simmons Company at noon Wednesday. In the dead man’s pockets were $2. The body was taken to the Morgue and turned over to the Coroner. Morton was about 4 years old and his wife and three children live in Cape Girar- deau, where his father-in-law Leon J. Al- bert, is cashier of the Sturdevant Bank. Mr. Albert is expected here Wednesday. Regarding the suicide and the events just preceeding it, Saunders Norvell. Third Vice-President of the Simmons Harware Co., said Wednesday morning: ‘‘Mr. Morton’s work had not been satis- factory in that he had disregarded orders, failed to advance prices and. been careless in obeying instructions from here. We wrote him to come in and bring all samples and catalogues with him. He answered that he would be in. Monday. The first knowledge of hts movements thereafter was the notice of hig suicide, conveyed to me last night. “The only reason I can assign for his action is the knowledge that his work was unsatisfactory and that he had probably lost his place Therecan be no possibility of a financial shortage, as he only made a few collections and these were added to his expense money. We haven't had any ex- pense account yet, but it cannot check up more than a few dollars either way. That theory of his suicide is untenable.” “We cannot understand why he com- mitted suicide. As far as we know there was nothing in his contact with us to jus- tify his doing so. His family has our sincerest sympathy. We never heard that he drank, gambled or had any bad habits, but he had always been very careless in his clerical part of his work.’ NOT GUILTY OF AN ASSAULT. Attorney Fowler’s Assailant Dis- charged by a Jury. A jury in Judge Klein’s court Tuesday found Andrew M. Leslie not guilty om the charge of assautling A. C. Fowler with intent to kill. The assault occurred in an elevator in the Bank of Commerce Building last winter while the elevator was crowded with pas- sengers. Leslie used a pen knife and made an unexpectec lunge at Fewler, who is an attorney, and sank the blade in his neck. For awhile it was expected the wound would prove fatal, as the blade severed nine arteries. It was testified to that Fowler, as the attorney for Leslie, had been given a sum of money to use for a certain purpose and there was a dispute as to the disposition of the money. The jury was out only a few — before finding a verdict of mot guilty. ASSAULTED A PEANUT VENDER. William Bruenning Arrested on a Serious Charge. A warrant charging asauit to kill was issued Wednesday by Col. Johnson, against William Bruenning, 20 years old, living at 1112 Franklin avenue. In company with other young men Bruenning, on the evening of April 30, purchased some peanuts from an Italian vender named Kerkor Artine, having a stand at BPighteenth and Wash- ington avenue, and failed to pay for them. When Artine asked for his money, it is charged that Bruenning struck him in the head with a stone, fracturing his skull and seriously injuring him. Artine ts lying in re City Hospital, where he is expected to e. Bruenning was -arrested late Tuesday night by Officer Richard O’Connell as he was hiding in a hay loft in the rear of 1711 Biddle street. ABOUT WHISKY AND CARDS. Federal Authorities. F. G.

Many valuable prizes w ll be awarded the competiterg -=-tl] be numerous. 4 husband of her life miserable Scherer says all these an Government Inspection Needed to Con- demn Whiskey That is Bad as Well as to Approve That Which is Good. It has often been observed by those who come from the mother country that it is a great pity that no governmenta! supervision is exercised over the keepers of saloons, so that they should be com- pelled to sell genuins and pure spirits. We say, then let the Government appoint in- spectors, whose duty it shall be to go into every saloon and test by scientific methods the Mquors that are sold there. It is true that the Government has set its seal of approval upon good whiskey, in recognizing and taxing Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey as a Medicine, but let it also seek out and punish those who sell poison under the name of whiskey. Keep Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey in the house and then you are sure of having that which the Government says is all right. ~« COUNTERFEITER SENTENCED in the Penitentiary for His Crimes. Frank Gibson, the alleged ringleader of the gang of counterfeiters rounded up by the Federal authorities in St. Louis a few months ago, was sentenced to three years in the penitentiary in the United States Dis- trict Court Wednesday morning. He pleaded guilty. The indictment speci- fied that Gibson manufactured spurious nickels, dimes and quarters and circulated them at various stores throughout the city. Gibson is 60 years old and lived on Schoo: street. When the prisoner acknowledged his gu:lt Judge Adams asked: ‘‘Have you any- thing to say why the severest penalty should not ‘be imposed?” ‘‘No reason, your honor,’’ was the reply, “except that I am old and can’t stand long confinement.”’ “I will make the sentence three years,”’ remarked the Judge, ‘“‘because I want to impress upon those who may be inclined to follow in your footsteps that the laws of this government cannot be violated with impunity and that its mo must not be tampcred with. There are too many coun- terfeiters in Missouri. In fact, it is the worst State in the Union for this class of eriminal offenders.”’ Gibson, it is said, got newsboys to circu- late his spurious coins, One of them trailed him to his house one night and virtually unearthed the counterfeiting plot. He was arrested at his home by Policeman Thomas McNeil and John T. Sullivan of the Fourth Il¥istrict and a complete outfit for counter- feiting confiscated THROWN HEAVILY BY A CORK John Campbell’s Right Leg Broken When. He Fell on the Pave- ment. John Campbell of 2801 North Broadway owes his double-fractured leg to a plain, or- dinary cork, such as would fit the neck of an ounce bottle. Campbell is a laborer and was on his way to work Wednesday morning when the aeel- dent occurred. At Broadway and Brooklyn street, as he stepped from the pavement to the gutter, the edge of his left hee] struck the cork. It rolled under the pres- sure sufficient to destroy Campbell's equi- librium. He fell heavily to the street and sustained a compound fracture of his right leg. Dr. Hughes set the bones at the City Dis- pensary and sent Campbell to the City Hos- pital. ALL THE CREWS ESCAPED. Three Schooners Stranded on the Beach by a Gale Which Swept Cape Cod. HIGHLAND LIGHT, Mass., May 3.—As the result of foggy weather and a brisk northeasterly gale, three schooners lay stranded on Cape Cod this morning. Their crews escaped. The large three-masted schooner Alice B. Phillipps of New Haven went ashore at 2 o’clock near Race Point. The schooner Rol@rt Byron is. on the beach at Crow Hiuil, just west of Race Point Life Saving Station. Both schooners are well upon e shore. The three-masted schooner Helena, from a Maine port for the South with a cargo of fish scraps, struck on Peaked Hill Bars. She was in a bad position this morning, especially as the force of the gale and sea was increasing. The life savers of the Race Point and Peaked Hill Bars stations have gone to the wrecks.

Judge Zachritz began to take evidence Wednesday in the case of Maggie Collins against the German-American Mutual Life Insurance Co. The plaintiff is seeking to recover on life insurance policy for $1000 held by her mother, Anastasia Collins. The defendant admits that the policy was issued to Mrs. Collins, but claims she did not answer truly as to her age, saying F. G. Petrie Is ‘n Trouble With the. ' several depositions taken in County Tip- that she was 59, when she was really 71. It is contended that this alleged falsehood vitiates the policy. The defendant will introduce in evidence perary, Ireland, tending to prove that Mrs, Collins was 71 years old when the policy was issued. ‘Copies of the records of a church there, giving the date of Mrs. Col- lins’ birth will also be introduced. The plaintiff says the insurance company has procured the wrong records and has con- fused her mother with another person. Buss 9 ; Se et yo Rc) tee Sk A Sy rm all pte .

Mrs. Uhl, the national president, re- sponded and read her biennial atidress. She deplored the fact that the govern: ment, while maintaining institugons for the training of some particular faculties, maintained none for the training of the ear. She thought there should be national conservatories and schools of opera, which would keep students at home instead o them a. compelled to go abroad for training. he regretted that music had ta go unaided except or the efforts of a few individuals. Not until the people in genera took the same interest in music and art as they did in the more material sources of en- joyment would music and art come to its own. She conceived the object of the Federa- tion to be to cultivate and encourage a taste for the highest music and bring it within the reach of the paces and the advantages of the membership in the Fed- eration to be in the permanent good to be attained by stimulating the organization of new clubs and strengthening those al- ready orgagized. She ‘thought the tours of —— opera companies did unutterable harm by caus- ing the people of American cities to be sat- isfied with these occasional] feasts and dull- ing thelr initiative toward permanent re-| sults, in the way of having their own operas and orchestras. She considered the ‘“‘American concert’’ an abomination because it afforded no basis of comparison and was a direct bid for leniency. American music must and would take its place. It must crave comparison with the best in art, not the best in Amer- ca.

HIS INVENTION PROVED FATAL. Investigation of the Death of Maj. C. S. Smith and Five.Helpers. WASHINGTON, May 3.—Investigation of the explosion at the Dupont Powder Works, by which Captain S. E. Stuart of the army and five civilians lost their lives, is being made by Major C. S. Smith, under instruc- tions fromm the War Department. The deaths of all who were with Captain Stuart at the time of the explosion make it diffi- cult to get at the cause, but the facts show that the army officer was killed by his own invention. It s been the practice of the department to place wet gun cotton in zinc cases and load them into “ogy Y oa but Captain Stuart conceived the idea of ressing the gun cotton Into the shel! by a ydraulic rammer. He obtained the neces- sary appliances and began to Joad an 8-inch shell with a charge of gun ootton, when the explosion occurred. HIS NEW SOFA WAS BURNED. James Logan Is Puzzled Over This Fire in His House. James Logan bought a new sofa Tuesday afternoon, He paid $25 for it and placed it in the front room upstairs at his residence, 2025 O'Fallon street. Just how that new sofa could catch fire is not known, but that Is just what hap- pened. A citizen passing the house at 10:30 o'clock Tuesday night gaw the blaze and promptly notified Mr. Logan. They ran up- stairs and Mr. Logan saw his new and handsome piece of furniture burning flerce- ly. It was doomed. A front window was hoisted and the sofa was thrown out on the street, where it was torn to pleces and devoured by the flames BARKEEPER DISAPPEARED.

THEATER AUDITOR HAD A FIT. \ He Paid an Involuntary Compliment to a Thrilling Scene, An involuntary and distressing tribute was paid to Blanche Bates and James O'Neill Tuesday night by a man who occupied a seat in the parquette about four rows from the stage. It was the finale of the scene in Miladi's apartments, where D’Artagnan escapes through the window and Miladi grovels on the floor, screaming and cursing in impo- tent rage. It is a strong scene, calculated to give the most phlegmatic person a thrill. It’s effect on the man referred to was startling. He was attacked by epilepsy. He was seized by several persons and held until attaches of the house removed him to the lobby. It was not a violent fit and he recovered in a few minutes 7 to get in a carriage with two ladies and go away. His companions said he was subject to such attacks and that the excitement of the play had proved too much for him. They declined to tell his name. PROF. PIEPER FOR PRESIDENT.

It was the original intention of the B ag a moters of the enterprise that it should be held only from April 2% till May 2.

Big Ora Phelps, who, the police say, is one of the cleverest confidence men in St. Louis, was arrested Wednesday morning. Phelps was dressed in the garb of a farmer, and was acting the part so well that for a-while “Big Ora’’ had the sym- pathy of the police, and they rushed to his rescue. The arrest occurred In that place where SO Many other confidence men have been arrested—‘'Doc" Sweeny’s saloon, at Efghth and Walnut streets. Because of the re- cent ‘“‘gun plays’’ that have been brought off there, the puiice have dubbed the place “Morro Castle.” and effects of the recent bombardment are plainly visible. Early Wednesday morning Patrolmen Lawton and McMullen were cruising around in the vicinity of ‘‘Morro Castle,” when they saw Charles McKenna, an al- ~ confidence man, talking with & man who, if appearances counted for aught, was from the backwoods. The police en- tered Sweeney's place to arrest McKenna, t was some minutes before Phelps’ dis- guise was penetrated. He was the farmer from the ground u save for a’pair of stylish trousers, an only a few inches of these were visib’e. On his feet were a pair of heavy brogans that were guiltless of any blacking. Then a few inches of the trousers could be seen. A long linen duster of the olden time hung limp from his shoulders. The pockets were ed and he was munching i“ apple while talking to the other man. n his head was an old, battered ‘white hat, with the brim hanging down in places that partialiy concealed his face. Ora had not shaved Wednesday morning, nor for several mornings before that. The stubby red beard that covered his face was in keeping with the costume he adopted. Ora’s face is not a handsome one. He has big gray cyes, that apnear to be as honest as the day is long. Chief Des- mond says appearances are often deceit- ful. Ora has large teeth, and they are not set even. Neither are they white. One of the big front teeth has disappeared. Ora has not had a false tooth placed there in its stead. When the police entered, Ora started out, but the officers, thinking he was a pros- Rctve victim, wanted him for a witness. hey called, and Ora started to walk briskly away. Big Barney Reagan, a po- liceman who knows a .thing or two. pene- trated Ora’s disguise, and throwing wu both hands. began pausing. He dn’t command Phelps to stop, but Ora knew enough not to attempt to get away. He didn’t try to play the farmer any more, and both he and McKenna were taken to the holdover on general principles.

SHE MAKES AN AFFIDAVIT. THE GOVERNOR ASKS JUDGE ZACHRITZ’S OPINION. He Replies That He Puts No Faith in Her Story and the Executive Re- fuses to Extend Clem- ency. Nettie Taylor Wednesday morning filed an affidavit with Gov. Stephens in which } she confesses to being guilty of the mur- der for which Thomas W. Shackelford is to be hanged Thursday morning, unless ex- ecutive cleinency is again extended him. The fact that such an affidavit had been filed was kept secret untill questions were asked about it. Joseph Smith, a colored barber, went to Jefferson City with the affidavit, which was made in the presence of Orrick Bishop, vol- untarily, Smith says. The affidavit reads: “Honored Sir: 1 am constrained to ap- peal for mercy in behalf of Thomas Shackelford, convicted of the murder of my husband, and with whom I was in- dicted and of which crime I was acquitted. I cannot bear the thought that he should perish while I walk the streets a free wo- man. I took advantage of his youth and inexperience and beguiled him into a scheme which was my own invention, and it was my hand and my hand alone which accomplished the terrible deed, and in truth and in justice, he is innocent, and should. not suffer dreadful and shameful death while I am free. “Shackelford had no quarrel with my husband; he had no interest in the insur- ance money, would’ have reaped no benefit from the death but what might have chosen to give him, and I know that he made the statements testified against him (made in my presence and exacted from him in an effort to extort a confession from me also) under great stress, threats and promises, and which greatly agitated and confused, and under the hope and be- lief that if he told all and fastened the guilt upon me, he should escape the pen- alty. beg and pray for his life. God move your excellency to save him from death. NETTIE TAYLOR.” Mr. Smith has also a letter from Dr. Nie- tert, former post-mortem physician, in which the doctor states that no analysis of Taylor’s stomach was made. He says the stomach and bowels were sealed in jars, but the jars were found empty when the city chemist went to make the analysis. When questioned concerning what action he would take in view of these develop- ments the Governor said that he had tele- graphed Judge Zachritz, who tried the case, and that he would be guided by the repiy. Gov. Stephens received an answer from Judge Zachritz at 1:30 o’clock this after- noon. The Judge said he belfeved Shackel- ford guilty and could not recommend clemency. ‘‘As things etands now,” said the Gov- ernor, “I don’t see how I can interfere. I attach no importance to Nettie Taylor's confession, She is beyond the reach of the law in the case, except on a charge of perjury. As a general thing confessions from women of that character aré not worth much. ‘ ‘Tt is very hard to e¢onvict of murdér in the first degree in this State, and when a conviction is secured there is. strong ground for the belief that the man is guilty, I don’t think I can interfere in this case.” Judge Zachr‘tz said to a Post-Dispatch revorter Wednesday afternoon: “T have reviewed the case within the last week and am convinced that Shackelford and Nettie Taylor are guilty of the murder, and have so informed the Governor.” TWO WILLS NOT ACCEPTED Judge Henderson Rejected the Tesia- ments of Timothy Ryan and Bertha M. Hoffman. Judge W. W. ‘Henderson refused to admit the will of the late Timothy Ryan to pro- bate Wednesday because the witnesses tes- tified that the testator was drunk when he a ge it and did not know what he signed. he will was dated April 4, and was witnessed by Clara A. Jones and Dennis ‘Nugent. The testater seve $ each to his daughters, Elizabeth and ‘Margaret, and the remainder of his estate to ‘Mary Ellen Ryan, a third daughter. His widow was not named in the will. Miss Jones said Ryan was drunk when the will was made and could not possibly have known what he was dcing. Nugent said he did not know whether the will was Hyan’s, as he had never heard him acknowl. ge it. He claimed he signed it because Mary Fillen Ryan, the chief beneficiary, asked him to do-so. He said Ryan was drunk when he witnessed the document. The will of the late Bertha M. Hoffman was declared unfit for probate by Judge Henderson Wednesday, because over two- thirds of it had been lost and the signa- tures of the witnesses had been torn away. The will was found among Mrs. Hoffman effects after her death, but none of her family knew when, or under what circum- stances, she made it. The document was badly mutilated and several pages .could rot found. $1.00—Round Trip—$1.00. Vie Air Line to Centralia, Mt. Vernon, Fairfield, Mt. Carmel, Ill., and Princeton, Ind., Sunday, May 7.

PRISONER IS UNCONCERNED. —_—_—_—_—_— FRANK CALLAWAY’S OPINION OF HANGING. Shackelford Has Hope of Reprieve, but Asserts He Is Fully Prepared for His Death, When It Comes. ————— Probably the most unconcerned prisoner in the St. Louis Jail Wednesday morn-.ng was Thoras Shackelford, who is doomed to die on the gallows at sunrise Thursday morning unless Gov. Stephens should grant a@ reprieve or respite. A telegram from Jefferson City Wednes- day says Gov. Stephens said this morning that he had taken no action in the Shack- elford case and did not expect to. He said he had informed the condemned man’s friends that if they would produce peti- tions in his behalf from the trial Judge and Prosecuting Attorney he would consider the application for clemency. No such petli- tions have been produced and unless they are, the Governor will let the law take its course. Shackelford slept soundly all Tuesday night and was late about rising. He took great pains with his toilet and sat down between the two guards in front of his cell and chatted as unconcernedly as though the day of his death were far off. During the exercise hour he was ap- proached by many of the prisoners, who greeted him in an awe-stricken manner. The man’s responses were cheerful and his invariable reply as to how he felt was: EP. 3. eeling first-rate this morning—never tter.”’ “O, I don’t know what Gov. Stephens is he my to do about my case,’’ he said. “‘No iving man can tell that. Of course I don’t give up hope yet, No man can give up hope in this world without giving up some hope for the future life. And no mat- ter what may happen I know that all my sins are forgiven and I have a free pardon from the Great Judge. Just then the sun burst through the vault- ed glass roof of the jail and a stream of sunlight shone in the man’s eyes. “Kind of blinding, ain't it?’ he said. ‘Yes, the chances are that this is the last time I will 6ee the sun climb up over the roof here and shine on the floor. But while there is life there is hope.”’ Frank Callaway, awaiting trial on the oharge of wife-murder, thinks that Shackel- ford will break odwn. “I believe he will break down and have to be carried to the gallows,’’@hie said. “Of course I don’t know, but that’s my opinion. I don‘t see how he has stood it as long as he has. “If by any chance I should stand in the same place this negro does, I would never be hanged. I could-not stand such a trial. I would execute myseif. I did not study medicine and gurgery for nothing. These carotid arteries in my neck couid be opened, even though I hed no knife, and once »vpen the power of the most skiliful surgeon is unavailing. No, I hanged, though I think there is no danger of my ever being sentenced.” Shackelford is under sentenced for the poisoning of George Taylor. Shackelford and Taylor were ciose’ friends. Nettle Taylor, the poisoned man’s wife, is the direct cause of the tragedy. She and Taylor were not living together, though they were on good terms. The quarrel] that separated them appeared over and the breach about healed. The man lived at 1505 Pine street. The woman lived at 24 Targee street. Shackel- ford and Nettie Taylor were on exception- ally good terms. On Nov. 2, 1887, Taylor went to his wife’s house on Targee street. Shackelford was there. Mrs. Taylor pre- ared some coffee and it was given to aylor. He drank of it and did not notice that the others did not drink. He. be- came sick and five days later he died. The postmortem examination reveald that his death was caused by arsenic. The coffee ot in which the coffee was made was ound, and it was shown that it contained arsenic. Shackelford and Nettie Taylor were both arrested. They were granted separate trials. The woman was found not guilty. Shackelford was convicted.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been considered the next thing to incurable. The usual symptoms are a full or bloatin sensation after eating, accompanied with sour or watery risings, a formation of gases causing a pentents on the heart and lungs, and difficult breathing; head- aches, fickle appetite, nervousness and a general played out, languid feeling. There is often a foul taste in the mouth, coated tongue and if the interior of the stomach could be seen it would show a slimy, inflamed condition. The cure for this common and obstin- ate trouble is found in a_ treatment which causes the food to he readily, thoroughly digested before it has time to ferment and irritate the delicate mu- cous surface of the stomach. To secure prompt and healthy digestion is the one necessary thing to do and when. normal digestion is secured the catarrhal condi- tion will have disappeared. According to Dr. Harlanson the safest and best treatment is to use after each meal a tablet, composed of Diastase, Aseptic, Pepsin, a little Nux, Golden Seal and fruit acids. These tablets can now be found at all drug stores under the name of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets, and not being a patent medicine can be used with perfect safety and assurance that healthy appetite will follow their — use after meals. r. N. J. Booher of 2710 Dearborn street, Chicago, Ill., says: “Catarrh is a local condition resulting from a neglect- ed cold in the head, whereby the linin membrance of the nose becomes inflame and the poisonous discharge therefrom passing backward into the throat reaches the stomach, thus propusing catarrh of the stomach. Medical authorities pre- scribed for me for three years for catarrh of the stomach without cure, but to-day I am the happiest of men after using only one box of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tab- lets. 1 cannot find appropriate words to express my good fee ing. I have flesh, appetite and sound rest from their use. tuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest as well as the simplest and most conven- ient remedy for any form of indigestion, catarrh of the stomach, biliousness, sour stomach, heartburn and bloating after meals.
