Recovering From the Effects of the Chloroform, the Dog Slowly and Wearily Dug Its Way Back to Life and Air. A bel !'wo weeks ago Mr. Ferd English of Easton avenue took a last look at his pet dog and then laid him to rest in an im- bromptu burying ground near the house. Not a few of the neighbors witnessed ihe interment, which was attended with impos- ing ceremonies. The women wept softiy and tne children cried aloud, for “Barney” was the pride and glory of vhe neighbornood. ofr. English says that on just Tuesday night Barney ceme back to life. He had 3331 kicked the covering off his grave and ran to the English homestead, where he whined an hour for admittance, When. the door was opened he bounded into the room anil barked a j ‘th: family. The long subterrAnean made him unusually socidble. Mrs. Pneglish could not’ belicve her eyes and when Barney ran towards her she screamed and almost fainted. Mr. English says the dog presented a ghastly picture. It was terribly emaciated wnd the body was covered with mud, while the left eye was closed. It was apparent. that poor Barney had been buried alive. Barney’s resurrection wus not credited by his old-time friends, inti] a personal investig tion. Then there was kreat rejoicing.

When Mr. Ergiish conveyed the startling information to the clerks they laughed. - “Why, Mr. English,”’ said one of the lady stenographers, “how can you tell such e dreadful story?’ To have his word disputed was more than Mr. English could stand, though the more he contended he was telling the truth the more emphatically his fellow-employes pronounced the wondrous tale a fine fabri- cation. Mr. English bet a box of cigars he was stating the plain, unvarnished truth. Mr. Moe G. Wiener was delegated a com- mittee of one to ascertain the facts. He visited 5331 Easton avenue and there met Mrs. English, who went into details re- garding the marvelous reincarnation of Barney. In a littie while Barney appeared, wagging his tail and swishing his bod around as if to indicate that a little euch said Mr. Wie- wouldn’t hurt him. “So that's the creature?’’ ner, pattirg Barney on the back. The dog’s head was cut in three or four places and he was limping on one leg. “Looks as though he’s been through some- thing,” remarked Wiener. Thereupon he adjourned to the vacant lot. where Bar- ney’s grave was thoroughly inspected. It was to have been about three feet deep. The mound had caved in when Barnev made his energetic ascent. Some of the neighbors were then summoned. Then de- positions were taken by Referee Wiener at the grave. Barney was the chef wit- ness. His thin, pain-racked body was mute evidence of the siege he had undergone. “Now, will you believe it?” said Mr. Eng- lish, when Wiener returned to the store with his report. “Yes, it's one on us,’’ was Mr. Wiener’'s Kee dog is not only certain it will get He is a water tricks than the but it ‘ts pretty is 13 months old. spaniel, and knows more average circus canine. “If Barney recovers, “T intend to keep him.

A piece of carpet Was wrapped around his bodv. although I will say, the clay was not packed tightiy over the supposed corpse. “We hated to part with Barney, but we thought he would go mad with the fits. “If for nothing else, I think we shall hola Barney as a curiosity.

Anna Fell in Love With Deichmann, and the Couple Disappeared on Isselhardt’s Wed- ding Day. Cupid made a sad job of it when he un- dertook to bring together for life two Belle- Ville young men ard two Baidwin, IIL, girls. He assorted them wrong. Two of them dis- covered the mistake before it was too late and rectified it to the extent of saving their own happiness, though in doing so they ‘blasted that of the other two. The two young men were friends. The girls were sisters. Both sisters were en- gaged to the young men. One was to have been married Tuesday. The other eloped with her sister’s flance on the wedding day, leaving her affianced to comfort the de- serted sister. The girls are Misses Anna and Lena Spitz, |daughters of a well-to-do farmer living ;}mear Baldwin. The young men are Fred /Diechmann and Eugene Isselharadt. The young ladies, who are both very pretty ard above the average in intelli- 'gence, have been making their homes in t. Louis for some time. Here they became acquainted with Isse’hardt and Diechmann. ‘Both live in Belleville, but through visit- ing friends in St. Louis, became acquainted with the girls. _. Deichmann paid ardent court to Miss Lena. As an accepted suitor he accom- |}panied her severa!] times to her home at Baldwin, and was regarded from the first as a prospective son-in-law by the o'd folks. Although no such announcement had been formally made, they were regarded as en- gaged. In the meantime Isseihardt, who is a bricklayer, in good circumstances, had been laying siege to the fair Anna's heart, with such persistency that she finally ca- pitulated and premised to become his bride. ' The wedding day was eet for Tuesday, July 18, ard Isselhardt rented and furnished a cottage in Belleville for his bride-to-be. Strangely, Mies Anna had never met is- selhardt’s friend,. Deichmann, and Issel- hardt had never met the sister of his af- | fianced. : The wedding was to take place at Belle- ville. and Deichmann the groomsman, Isselhardt and Anna went to Belleville a few days ago to assist in the preparations for the wedding. Monday Deichmann and Lena went over. Notwithstanding the circumstances and the troth which each had pledged, Anna and Deichmann fell in love at first sight. Anna realized that what she had felt for Isselhardt had only been high regard. Deichmann was so infatuated with Anna that he swept aside considerations of hon- or and at the first opportunity poured out a feryent declaration of love and impor- tuned’ Miss Spitz to leave Ieselhardt and elope with him to some place where they could enjoy, undisturbed, the love which fate had revealed to them before it was too late. She yielded with little reluctance to his Solicitations. Packing up a few articles . of apparel she and Deichmann _ slipped away from the house Tuesday morning be- fore anybody else was” astir and took an early car for St. Louis. When search notes was made it was found that two had been left by the girl, one for the. jilted lover and one for her siSter. The note to her -ister read: Dear Sister--I know you will be very angry at » me for what I have done, but I just couldn't help ‘but love him, and we have gone away and will be too far away to find wben you get this note. The note to the jilted lover was written in a eramped, unnatural hand, as if the writer was laboring under great mental excitement when it was written. It was as follows: fe love each other and are going to some place where we can be with each other forever. Eugene, I want you to forget me, for I have been untrue t» you and am not worthy to be remembered. If you love me | am sorry for you, and appeal to ' Your love to condone my offense, for you could then hnow how hard it is to love and can under- stand why I have gone with Mr. De'chmann: I thought I loved yon. but when I saw him I felt that life would not be wortb living without him. hepe you will forgive me and forget me. Don't try to follow us. for we will be many miles away before this note reaches you. Good- by, and may God biess you, is my earnest wish. ANNA As soon as the sister and lover received the notes they went down to the home of the parents and notified them of what had eccurred. The father and mother are highly respected Germans and are almost pros- trated over the girl’s elopement. Lena, when interviewed, said she had nothing to say, and affected an air of in- difference of speech, which the tense, drawn expression of her mouth and the dullness of her eyes belied. Woman-like, she has no words of condemnation for her recreant lover, but blames her sister for the whole transaction. ‘] don't care a particle if they did run away,’ she said, “but I am sorry that Mr. Suouparst has allowed himself to be duped er. STOCKMAN KEEN’ ADVENTURE Drank a Bottle of Beer and When He Recovered Consciousness Had a Scalp Wound and No Money. ww Robert Keens, a wealthy young stockman of Keens Station, Ill., would like to know what happened to him after he drank a glass of beer in a saloon near Seventh and St. Charles streets Wednesday night.

Then | , Which was for one bot- | There is a new story out about the Sloan- | Edwardes-Boeck marriage episode. It was; | given currency in Boston Wednesday and! it adds another chapter to this already sensational case. The Boston story comes from the young couple, William M. Sioan of Buffalo and _ his wife, who was Miss Rose Edwardes, bride-to-be of George Boeck of St. Louls. It will be remembered that on the eve of the wedding Miss Edwardes eloped with Mr. Sloan, one of the prospective attend- ants, thereby causing a nine-day’s sensa- itlon in the town of beans and Browning. Mr. S.oan’s parents propmily disinherited him. Neither did Mrs, Edwardes approve | of the elopement, and altogether true love's course has run anything but smooth for the pair. But the Sioans are reported now to be’ living happily together at Marb,ehead, and , to be so far recovered from tneir first | ecstacies that they can deny some ngs | and affirm others of the many toid of them. In the first piace, the pair takes exceP- tion to some of Mrs, Bdwardes’ utter- ances. Both assert that Mrs. Edwardes four years ago, picked out Boeck, then a Boston student, as ser daugaiers fucure husband. ‘They met, Boeck finally Pro- posed and was accepted. Then he returned to St. Louis. Soon aiier, Sloan appeared, He had rooms in the Edwardes home; he enjoyed Miss Roses company; they went out to- gether; they sat long on the steps in tne moonlight; they grew in each other's af- fections, Mrs. Edwardes objected; her 38-inch Striped Pierola Cloth (4% yards Pattern.

Young Sloan said that if he married he would be disinherited. He knew he would, hecause ‘his father was a very determined man, but he would no: care for that if he eoutd have Rose. And the girl assured him that she did not care for the money, if they could marry Without disgracing the family. They discussed the possibility that Rose might marry Boeck and live with him for two or three years, then get a divorce and return to her true love, as the case was a desperate — and it was becoming more 30 every Gay. They finally came to that understanding, though it almost broke their hearts. They agreed that it woud be better for trings to take their course; that Rose could marry George Boeck and g0 to St. Louis to live. and try to forget that she had ever seen Sloan.

He is here now, tanned and hearty looking “Rosh!” he says. “The statement {s too ridiculous to be considered for a moment. It is not even worthy of a denial.

What Gen. Alger has been to the McKin- ley Administration Assistant Chief John N. Pickel is to the St. Louis Police De- partment. That he will be eliminated in the pending reorganization of the depart- ment is belleved by every one at police headquarters. Two police captains are being considered for the place now held by Picket. Pickel is at loggerheads with nearly évery one In the department. He had not been in his present position a week before he ordered the release of a drunken Deputy Sheriff, who was airested because he went into a resort in North St. Louis, shot out ail of the lights and drove the inmates out into the street. Pickel was severely reprimanded by Chief Campbell tor this. Then sume of his we.rd theories have made vhe work of the poiice laughed at. It will be remembe.ed that when Mark Murphy was murcered Pickel had the eyes of the dead man photographed on the theory that the murderer's likeness would be pictured there.

Only-a comparatively small number of them are in use in a few of the greatest cities, and to the vast majority of the people they are still curiosities.

In the frank and full expression of his views with regard to the World's Fair in yesterday’s Post-Dispatch Mr. J. W. Van Cleave gave an unequivocal indorsement of the project. A\l- though opposed to the Fair at first, because he was afraid St. Louis might not be able to reach the highest standard of achievement, he has no doubts of the great benefits of a suc- cessful World's Fair. His views on this point are summed up in the following: THERE 18 NU CALCULATING THE BENEFITS THAT A WORLD'S FAIR IN 190% WOULD HAVE UPON THE BUSINESS INTERESTS OF ST. LOUIS. IN MY OPINION. IT WOULD ADD 50 PER CENT TO THE POPULATION, THE COMMERCE AND THE WEALTH OF THE CITY AS A PERMANENT RESULT. IN MY OPINION, IT WOULD ATRACT TO THE CITY OF ST, LOUIS FOREIGN RELATIONS THAT ARE NOT EN- JOYED TO-DAY. IT WOULD PLACE US IN TOUCH WITH THE FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL CENTERS OF THE WORLD AND PLACE US ABROAD IN THE SAME FIELD THAT WE OCCUPY AT HOME, THE MOST SUBSTANTIAL CITY UPON THIS CONTINENT. IT WOULD MAKE ST. LOUIS EXCHANGE A COMMODITY IN THE BANKS OF THE WORLD. But Mr. Van Cleave clearly pointed at the conditions neces- sary to the achievement of the highest success. He believes it will be difficult unless all St. Louis men and St. Louis in- terests are united in its support. He thinks the Fair move- ment hampered by the indifference of St. Louisang who are @ble to give it effective support, and who should stand shoul- der to shoulder with those now bearing the burden of the great undertaking. Mr. Van Cleave's fear of the effect of indifference or oppo- sition merely emphasizes the point insisted upon by the Post- Dispatch, that the best results can only be obtained by the bermonious co-operation of all St. Louisans and all St. Louis interests. St. Louis is in the World’s Fair boat. The question now for each St. Louisan is, Shall I pull with other St. Louisans or be dead weight or an obstacle in their way? It is a question of loyalty and civic patriotism. Brilliant victory will be the Tesult of a pull all together. ' eure the highest success.

Lp ili, i FUNSTON'S PAD BREAK If Consul Wildman of Hong Kong is‘to be believed Gen. Funston is a traitor. Mr. Wildman reports that the dashing Kansan spoke in fa- vor of “less gunpowder and more diplomacy” in the Philip- pines. He added however that if the Filipinos couldn’t be per- suaded to lay down their arms, the Government should send 100,000 men and make short work of it. Then followed this treasonable utterance: “Strange as it may seem, I am almost a ‘peace-at-any price’ man. When life and property can be saved, it ie almost a crime not to follow that rule, whatever the circum- Stances .be arguing against it. I am a Repubiican, but I am an anti-expansionist, though not a bitter one. Big syndicates and capitalists will be greatly benefited by the retention of these islands, but outside of a few exceptional] individual cases I can see no advantage in their possession by the United States. The islands are so thickly populated and labor so cheap, there certainly is no inducement for the American laborer ’”’ The men who govern the government will have to look after this young soldier. If the truth is told so prodigally there is danger that the syndicates will be disappointed in their hope of benefit. The people must be made to believe that this Philip- pine business 1s pure patriotism, without any alloy of interest. To have this Kansan blurt out the truth is disgusting. If it becomes known that the men who join the army and go to the Orient, will fight, not for their country but for the syndicates, they may object. Funston should be silenced. = = A teamster says: “I am of the opinion that the flying ma- chine will have been perfected before the automobile can be adapted readily to the uses of heavy hauling, and by that time most of us will have saved.enough money to buy a flying ma- chine and keep up with the procession.” It behooves the teamsters, however, to take care of themselves. The flying machine may come to us much sooner than we think. We should like to see perfect highways and every teamster the owner o¢ an auto. il ais iitisinlcitininiiliaiaatt It looks very much as if the Democratic National Conven- tion wil} be held in Kansas City, and St. Louis is very well pleased that it should be so.

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. If the World’s Fair had no other beneficial effect than to stimulate’ the authorities of St. Louis into improving our streets this in itself would be suffi- cient compensation for the expenditure of much of the large amounts of money which unquestionably the buildings for this great enterprise will require. Our city is situated in one of the most extensive and fertile valleys in the world, with natural beauties of landscape which vital statistics show that not many cities in the world can equal it in the salubrit can not be surpassed, whose of climate and which is demonstrated by the fact that in proportion to our popu- lation we have more active, energetic old men and women than many other cities in the United States. bright light burning in the shade. Yet with all these natural @dvantages St. Louis is like a The brilliancy of its advantages was unknown outside a limited circle until the enterprising, energetic men who have initiated the holding of a World’s Fair brought it before the public. Posterity will concede to those gentlemen the credit of showing to the out- side world the hidden wealth of our luxuriant valley so rich in all the essentials to the welfare of mankind and so abundant that they are practically inexhaust- ible. Such an enterprise as they are developing deserves not alone the moral but the material support of every citizen of this great republic, and we say to them God speed their noble work.

Linn, vice-president and general manager cf the Cherokee Oil and Gas Co., is much dissatisfied over the recent ruling of the Secretary of the Interior in regard to leaseholds in the Indian Territory. Mr. Linn explains that his concern after. ex- pending a small fortune on the prospecting and development of the oil fields is now so restricted by the new decision that it will + Ambossitie to work the property with It seems the com: any secured the leases from the Cherokee Nation and when Secre- tary Bliss issued an “order to have all leases made with the Interior Department direct, he allowed those existing prior to the order to stand. But Secretary Hitchcock, ft is alleged, limited the number of leaseholds to such an extent that work could only be carried on at a loss. Accordingly the com- pany has engaged prominent legal talent and will fight the decision in th the courts. SECOND INSTITUTE OF NUNS. Lectures for the Benefit of Those Who Teach in Convents.

Miss Emma Newman, on her way from Wheeling, W. Va., to Denver, met aboard the Baltimore & Ohio train a very pleas- ant stranger. They sat together, talked together and enjoyed each other’s society. At St. Louis, where a change was to be made from the Baltimore & Ohio to the Denver train, the kind stranger helped her with her valise and other luggage and then took her ticket cept, DWELLINGS FOR RENT. 14 words or less, 10 ) cents.

DANGERS OF PACE-MAKING Fred Hellméts of Cases of Carondelet Thrown _ From His Wheel and His Com- panions Rode Over Him. —_—_—_—_—_—. Fred Hellmers of Carondelet fell’ from his bicycle on Manchester road Wednesday afternoon and was probably fatally injured. His skull was fractured and Dr. Mays, who treated him, says he has internal in- juries. Hellmers and two friends, Hugo Kautner and George Smith, went to Meramec High- lands Wednesday to epend the day. All are expert bicyclists and rode to their out- ing. When the time came to return home they determined to try for a record from the Highlands to Carondelet, a distance of 2% miles. They thought that, by constant hard riding, they could ‘cover the distance in two hours. Each took his turn in setting the pace for the others. Hellmers was performing this duty on Manchester road when he ar- rived at a muddy place. He attempted to cross it without decreasing his speed, but his wheel had hardly touched the mud be- fore it slipped and threw the rider. Hell- mers fell into a stone tter, his head striking first. The blow r&éndered him un- conscious and he was unable to get out of the way of Kautner and Smith, who were riding at him at full speed. They passed over him, inflicting internal injuries. Hellmers was picked up and carried to a neighboring house, where medi atten- tion ‘was procured. for him promptly, but his physician says there is little hope of his recovery. MRS. HOLLADAY WILL RETIRE She Is Released From Jail and Has Determined Never Again to Ap- pear on the Stage. As was tcld in the late editions of Wednesday’s Post-Dispatch, Assistant Prosecuting Attorney, Johnson has declined to issue a warrant for the arrest of Mrs. Annie Holladay, who killed Louis W. Hol- laday, hér husband, Friday night. Mr. Johnson decided, after reading the testimony introduced at the coroner’s in- quest, that there were no grounds for a prosecution. His refusal to {issue the war- rant was the removal of every bar to Mrs. Holladay’s freedom, and she was released. The evidence in ‘the case will probably be given to the October grandjury, but there is little probability that an indictment will follow. Mrs. Holladay says she will not return to the stage, but will remain in private life, trying to live down the notoriety which the killing of her husband has brought to her.

Manujaciurers Claim “IT IS A CENEROUSLY Coop MATERIAL IS. SCARCE GENERAL TRADE IS THUS GREAT- LY HAMPERED. VALUES CONTINUE FIRM. Complaints of Delays on Deliveries of Old Low Price Contracts Are Still Frequent. NEW YORK, July 2.—Discussing trade conditions, the Iron Age says to-day: Every market reports deals with the story of the scarcity of material and the advanc- ing tendency in prices for delivery during the next four or six months. Values are exceedingly firm for the balance of this year, and the possibility of higher prices is being faced. Complaints of deiays in de- liveries continue frequent, practical.y so far as old low-priced contracts are con- cerned. Some large concerns report that they are beginn.ng to catch up a little. Some consumers are beginning to face the question of supply of material for the first half of next year. The conviction seems general that it is safest to cover for any contracts taken, but thus far the quan- tities involved seem to be moderate. There has been some buying of pig iron for 1900, but so far as we can ascertain, good, sound concerns are having prices named to them cons.derably below those now prevailing. , This insures to the makers a very hand- some profit on a part of their tonnage. A comparison of prices shows that since July, 1898, values on nearly the whole list of raw and finished materials have just about doubled, and in some cases the rise has gone beyond that, LAW RECOGNIZES NO SPIRIT Nebraska Commissioner Rules That Disembodied Spirits Cannot Be Materialized.

Portion of the Denver Railroad Bed Washed Away, and Rumors of Another Cloudburst. Special to the Post-Dispatch. DALLAS, Tex., July 20.—Meager reports have reached here from Childress and other points in the Panhandle of a disastrous storm in that section yesterday afternoon. The tremendous downpour of Tuesday in the Panhandle counties, northwest of Ver- non, resulted in a big rise in the Pease River and the Red River, both of which are crossed by the Fort Worth & Denver Railroad. Traffic has been stopped across Red River by a portion of the Denver road being washed away at that point. The Pease River was on a tremendous boom and there was much apprehension felt in the Fort Worth & Denver official circles because of the treacherous stream, The Denver train did not reach Fort Worth for Dallas and other connections last night. W. H. Mills of the Denver roaa made the fololwing statement: ‘About 75 feet of the approach to the Red River bridge has been washed out, delaying the Denver train due last night, which was held at Clarendon, and the northbound train, which left Fort Worth at 9:45 yester- day morning, is at Childress. The water is reported falling rapidly, and if no further rain falls we expect to make necessary re- pairs to cross trains by to-morrow noon, The storm spread over a dozen or more counties, with Childress apparently as a central point. There are rumors here of a serious disaster from a cloudburst. Rail- way traffic and telegraphic communication will have to be restored before details can be had. The Fort Worth & Denver Railway telegraph line, the only one in that section, is badly crippled beyond Childress, and the telephone lines do not extend that far into the Panhandle.
