His present whereabouts is also known. The great murder mystery, of more than ten years standing, which had its begin- | ming in the finding of the body of murdered .Anna Wiess, a Jefferson City domestic, on Union boulevard, near Page avenue, June 27, 1889, has been solved. Confessions are in the hands of the po- lice—signed statements—charging the mur- der to a man who is now a respected mem- ber of a little town not a day's journey by rail from St. Louis. Circuit Attorney Eg- gers has in his possession copies of the Same statements. Chief of Police Campbell declares that he and every official who has worked on the mystery is morally certain of the iden- tity of the murderer. a drawn as to whether the chief believes the man implicated in the confession is guilty and cannot be arrested because of “insuf- ficient proof."’ Under these conditions, !t would be unjust to print the name of the man who is charged. Mrs. Eleanora Lohrman, now living in St. Louis, who made a contradictory state- ment to the police while under arrest, Dec. 25, 1897, charging Thomas Stockton, an ex- convict, with complicity in the murder, is one of the persons who made the new Statement to the police.

At Chieveley Station, four miles south of OColenso, the train was , derailed, being caught in a trap laid by the Boers. When the train was brought to a standstill the Boers opened fire upon it from strong posi- tions with nine-pounders and Maxims.

CHURCHILL'S LAST CABLE. A eS RE Boers Promised to Be With the British and Kept Their e af Word. Following is the last cablegram received from Lieut. Churehbill before his capture while gallantly attempting to pierce the Boer lines and make his way into Lady- smith. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. Copyrighted, 1899, by Press Publishing Co. ESTCOURT, Natal, Nov. 13.—About 500 Boers have arrived at Chievely station. They blew up the railway line there with dynamite, retiring on seeing a mounted infantry patrol and other patrolling parties. The Boers are reported to-day to be south of the Tugela River, which runs through Colenso. Reports from Weenen (about 20 miles northeast of Estcourt) indicate that it is possible that an attack is intended to be made upon this place. (This undoubtedly refers to the movement of Gen. Schalkburger’s commando, which has been reported as advancing from the Transvaal through Zululand upon the capital of Natal in the rear of the British troops penned up in Ladysmith). The troops here are. sleeping in their boots and the utmost vigilance is maintained, but general confidence prevails that in the Open country any Dutch attack can be repulsed. The situation is much clearer throughout Natal. Further efforts to signal Ladysmith failed. but the Boer helio acknowl- edged them, saying: “Will be with you to-morrow.” The British shorter.

The most successful author of the year Is a St. Loulsan. The book which made him famous was written In one of the big office buildings of this city. His relatives thought he was loafing. One of them who read the original manuscript thought it was a pretty fair story, as stories go, and he was the most surprised man in seven States when the young man suddenly rose to fame and fortune. Other men who knew the writer gaped with astonishment, and ex- claimed to their friends: “Why, I knew him!’’ Then everybody salaamed and wrote the author a letter of congratulation, urging him to call when he returned to St. Louis. Some of them even bought his book. ‘Twas ever thus. A prophet is not without honor save in his own country, and an au- thor is never recognized in his own town- ship.

It is probable that the British at Estcourt will find it the best strategy to fall back on the Mool River or Pietermaritzburg before Estcourt, like Ladysmith, becomes isolated from Durban, the base. The Boers are seemingly swarming south of Colenso. While a large force has come from the netghborhood of Ladysmith, a much larger foree has arrived from else- where, and will probably turn out to be The Boers, evi- dently, are straining every nerve and bring- ing up every man to reduce Ladysmith be- ing the manager to convey their admiration for the brave man. There are rumors of another disaster to an Estcourt train, and it is reported that 25 volunteers who formed the escort are missing. There ts mo confirmation of those reports. In the meantime the bombardment of Ladysmith continues, as far as is known, but there are reports from the Continent of its capture by the Boers. A dispatch from Estcourt dated the 16th says of the armored train disaster at Chieveley: ‘The Red Cross train has returned, but without bringing in the dead and wounded, The Boers declined to give any information as to names of elther killed or tnjured, re- ferring the inquirers to the Pretoria press for all information.

She begged him to get out of town at once. Edward Kirk, her sons and a woman named Maggie Monahan were in the house. All saw the man, Mrs. Loir- man asserts, and all knew him. Miss Monahan gave him a bottle of whisky. He asked Mrs. Lohrman for a clean suit of underwear, which she gave him. He went away just before prouneas to leave town. Next Mrs. Lohrman saw the story of the Wiess murder in the newspapers. recognized the picture of Anna Wiess as a lIfkeness of the girl that was in the pa gy in front of her house the evening rertore. The murderer returned to the Lohrman house that evening. During the day De- tective Tim Kavanaugh had been there, in- quiring of Mrs. Lohrman for the tail man with gray trousera who had been seen about there eome days before. Mrs. Lohrman told the murderer that the police knew of his gullt and were hunting for him. She told him about the detective. The murderer was drunk and boastful. Mrs. Lohrman induced him to go with. her to the saloon of a mutual friend on Franklin avenue. She told the saloon keeper that the man was in serious trouble and asked him to assist her in persuading the man to leave town. She did not tell the saloon keeper what the trouble was. The murderer listened to the advice of his friends and left town that night. He did not return again for two weeks, and then staved only a few hours, He re- turned that time to see wheiher the police were still looking for him. daylight, evening Anna She The police never inquired for him after the visit of Detective Monahan to her house, Kavanaugh is dead, Mrs. Lohrman says, and shedoes not know what information he was working on except that a tall man wear- ing gray trousers iad been e6een In a buggy with a girl answering the description of Anna Wiess The murderer returned to St. Louis again within the next year. During that visit Mrs. Lohrman begged him to go away from St. Louls and stay away. He was on @a spree and boastful. She reminded him of his former crime and told him that if he continued drinking he might commit. an- other and not escape 60 easily. He said: “Well, why not if there’e money in it?’” Some years after the murder the mur- derer became wealthy. About the same time Mrs. Lohrman’s father died and left her little or nothing. She was acquainted with the murderer's improved financial con- dition. He frequently sent her money through an attorney. She says he paid the expenses of moving her family to Kansas City, and later paid her expenses when she moved to Chicago. The man never told ‘her the detalls of the murder, why he committed it or how. She did not question him, being burdened with enough of it The knowledge of his other crimes, burglaries and the like, did not bother her. but she did not wish to know any more than was forced upon her during that midnight ride about the murder. At times she believed that he had com- mitted the murder for hire, judging by his remark about there being money in such crimea. Again she believed he did not intend to kill the girl, but beat her to force submission to his wishes. In this hypothe- sis it was easily understood what he wanted Mrs. Lohrman to go out there for. She was to see what was the matter with the girl and revive her, if possibile necessarily any cecnneéc- tion between Anna Wiess and the money displayed by the man at Mrs. Lohrman’s house. He was a “good” crook whe had frequently displayed money before, As the murderer prospered Mrs. Lohr- man went down in the world. Her sons made trouble and expense for her The murderer was not libera! with her, but she was not of the kind who give information to the police ,and she Kept her secret It was not until she wrote the murderer a let- ter which he returned with a footnote to the effect that he would return any fur- ther communication unopened that she turned against him. She wrote to his father, detailing all she knew about the murder of Anna Whless. The father’s knowledge of the crime is what moved the old man to will his prop- erty to the eon, so Mrs. Lohrman = de- ciares, Still she did not inform on the murderer. Between him and the police she was asked to choose, and—the police were not her friends. Her conscience did not begin to bother her until her son George was killed in a uarry near Alton. She belteved, and still does, that George was murdered. Stil] she did not inform on the murderer of Anna VW less. Mrs. Lohrman's son Carl was stabbed by a crook in August, 1887. While Carl was on his deathbed he had a physician write to the murderer of Anna Wiess asking the latter come to his asaistance. The murder- er did not come. Carl would not te}! his mother’the real reason for wanting to see the man. Carl Was naturally secretive. He did not reveal the name of the man who stabbed him until he was dying. After Carl's death Mrs. Lohrman began There was not to keenly feel the pangs of conscience. | Whatever olse may be said against her, it i > a ba Our New Store iS MEETING WITH POPULAR APPROVAL.

LONDON, Nov. 17.—The rumors of Gen. Joubert’s death receives no credence here, as the War Offfice has reports that he was still in command on Wednesday last. In the opinion of military men Joubert’s death would produce an important effectsupon the Boer plan of attack. A younger and more impulsive General would take the place of a more cautious commander and order an assault upon Gen, White's position. Gen. Joubert has been at once a most resourceful Generali and the noblest patriot on the Boer side. One story from Estcourt reports a Boer repulse on Wednesday, as follows: “A Boer contingent of 300 men came south of Frere on Wednesday and two companies of mounted troops, Imperial Light Horse and Natal carbineers, en ed them eight miles from Estcourt. The ers occupied a strong position on a kopje. The carbineers worked round on their right. and drove the enemy back, whereupon the Imperial Light Horse opened a br fire at a medium rangs, killing several. One man of the Im- perial Light Horse was wounded.” Another dispatch from the same point says that a missionary, a native, but a re- liable man, who arrived from Ladysmith, reports that a fight took place there on Friday, Nov. 10, He says that volunteers went out in the early morning and drew the enemy from their positions on to a flat, where the regu- lar troops, under Sir George White, out- flanked the Boers, administering a crushing defeat and inflicting at loss. More than 30 Kaffirs, the missionary says, were employed by the Boers to bury their dead, and two trains, each drawn by two engines, carried away the wounded. This story, though told by a missionary »ut in the class of other “Kaffirgrams’ i given little credence. is ane FREIGHT RATES TO THE COAST. Interstate Commission Heard More Testimony and Adjourned.

A DEEPLY SPIRITUAL NATURE. AMMENSE INFLUENCE [EXERTED OVER OTHERS. Ths Eminent Nebraskan’s Future as Disclosed by a Palmist Who Reads His Destiny in His Hand. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Nov. 17.—Bfyan's hand has been read by a New York palmist. She found versatility the chief acteristic. Accuracy, executive ability and commanding power all found in the lines. A large fieid waiting for him. Here how she did it: An amateur disciple of Chero, I had long looked forwatd to the time when IL might read the lines of the palm ofjsome celebrity. An opportunity came recenfly when I took a train at Chicago for Florida. William J. Bryan was one of the two other pas- Sengers on the PulJman, and to my re- quest that he allow me to read his hand, he replied: “Certainly. All the astrologers in the country have cast my horoscope, but no one bas ever read my hand.”’ Mr. Bryan, at my suggestion, put his left hand, the hand of fate. It is a beautiful hand. as you know if you ever heard Mr. Bryan speak and have studied his gestuges Then I read it to him thus: “It is the type palmists called mixed—the hand itself square, the fingers varying, one square, one conic, one psychic. You are wonderfully versatile. In one and the Same hour you are inspirational, logical, Scientific. You would be perfectly at home in the’ physical laboratory, and you might have been an astronomer. “These two fingers—the first and second— are pre-eminently practical. They mean ac- curacy, system, order, punctuality, exec- utive ability and extraordinary command- ing power. The wide space between the first and second fingers indicates an unsel- fish spirit, consideration for others. The third finger tells the story of a nature deeply @piritual, reverent, and seeing in every human being the image of God. ‘The owner of that hand holds audiences at his beck and call. And look, Mr. teryan, at the little finger. Mr. Gladstone's was like it. You have an immense power of influencing others by writing and speaking, The finger is that of a scholar and a philosopher—the easy, brilliant talker, too, equally at home on = astatistics, po.itical economy, Kant or Shakspeare.” “Any tragedies lying around?” Bryan. “Do you want me to look for a Pres!i- fential wreck with a microscope? We don't have to look for tragedies. Every house Is fair till the roof be lifted, Emerson says.” Then I resumed my palmistry. as follows: “The thumb is fine—it individualizes, it Is long, firm, sloping; it eives dign.ty and in- tellectual force, a proper caution, strength leader's char- is out asked Mr. Indieate Power and Men's and Men's Casco Calf Lace and Congress, all satyles and sizes, $1.50 values; To-mor- $| 00 *-* eeeves ’ row.. and Imperial Kid (Caps, Kerseys, Boys’ Winter Plush, Ladies’ lace Shoe, 3% to 8, reg- ular $2 values; $1.45 To-morrow Men's Calf Lace Shoes, eon toe hand-sewed:; competitors’ price $3.50; To-mor- row and made and such as sold at $1, at 48c Shoes, ail olbers Infants’ Soft colors and sizes; sell 40c;: To- morrow (hildren’s Storm bers, sizes 6 to 10; ers sel! at 35c; To-morrow Ladies’ Rubbers, To-morrow Men's to &, >Trow Ladies’ Warm Lined Felt Slippers, leather soles: others sell To-mer- row Children’s Vici Kid But- ton Shoes, sizes 6 to &; regular 7ic value; To-morrow Misses’(hrome Kid Lace Shoes, regular price $1; To-mor- Youths’ Satin Calf Lace Shoes, world beaters: To-mor- row Boys’ Satin Calf Lace Rub- oth- Black.

The Biblical Story Outdone by Louis Schwengeler and Miss Francika Oberfoell, Who Were Mar- ried Friday. The Biblical story of how Jacob waited 14 years for Rachel was outdone Friday by a pretty romance that had its culmina- tion in Justice Walker's office at Tenth and Olive streets. After 17 years of patient fidelity to vows of love made in a little cottage in the most picturesque section of Baden, Germany, Louis Schwengeler of Granite City, IIL, and Miss Francika Oberfoell, just arrived from the Fatherland, were made husband and wife. : Schwengeler is an employe of the Nied- ringhaus Iron Works. He has lived in St. Louis and neighboring towns for 16 years. He sailed for America 17 years ago last September. He was then 22 years old. His life had not been a success in his native land and, when the great black ship that was to earry him to a new country to try his fortunes slipped its moorings and shot out into the sea he was almost penniless, for it took the greater part of his INittie savings to pay his passage. But he had a hope that made him strong and kept his courage up—a hope that some day he might make pretty Francika Ober- foell his wife.

His skull had been crushed anda bullet hole tn his head told of murder, while a heavy chain -which was tied around his neck and a heavy sack of rocks tied to his knees indicated the means used to dispose of his body. It had evidently been in the water two weeks. In one pocket was found a letter written at Butler. Mo., on Sept. 18, by Leopold Ed- linger, and addressed to ‘‘Dear Brother-in- Law.’ A blank check on the Bank of Rockville, Mo., was also found. The let- ter spoke of a payment on a farm and may have contained a remittance. A merchant in this city claims to have seen the deceased in his store about two weeks ago, when he and another man who wae traveling overland stopped at his store to buy provisions. The man told the mer- chant he was a stranger to the fellow with whom he was traveling: that he had been overtaken by him on the road from Pitts- burg. He had the money and paid the ill. The officers are communicating with the authorities at Butler:and Rockville. Doc- tors testify that the skull must have been fractured by blows with an instrument like an ax, and that the rocks were tied to the legs with barbed wire stolen from a fence near by. MRS.

The pillow upon which he lay was crimson, and on the floor beneat him was a pool of blood and brains. — Mr. Moore was evidently killed while he slept. The cries of Elijah alarmed the household. The little children awoke Mrs. Moore, who rushed to the room, saw her dead husband and ran screaming into the ard. The near neighbors came and Dr. aioden of Dexter and Sheriff “vans were summoned. The doctor found that Mr. Moore had been dead when found for three hours. The charge of shot entered the face between the face and right eye near the cheek bone and the force of the charge almost parted the lower and upper part of the face.

MORE CASES OF FEVER DR. STARKLOFF THINKS THE SIT. UATION IMPROVED. BUT HE IS GREATLY PUZZLED. He Is Also Handicapped in the Work of Fumigation Because of Insuf- ficient Number of Men. Fifteen new cases of typhoid fever were reported to the City Health Department before 11 o'clock Friday morning. At that hour there were no rerorts from the far-out West End districts, where the fever has been raging. The majority of the 15 were west of Garrison and south of Easton avenues. Health Commissioner Starkloff returned to duty Friday. He was surprised at the spread of typhoid. After looking over City Health Officer Francis’ reports for the last week, Dr. Starkloff ventured the vpinion CAaASes in THIS ~ DISTAICT +MAP SHOWING WHERE TYPHOID FEVER IS THE HBPAVIE?:T. that the genera! situation was slightly im- proved. “I think things look a littie better,’ he said, ‘“‘though Mr. Francis tells m~- there are other reports to come in.

Forty-six cases in one day —what do you think of that? “It is certainly mystifying why there should be so much fever in the West End and so little In the South End.

Those who participate: in the scrimmage in which Allen was hurt last Saturday afternoon testified that they were too much accupied in forcing the play to note how Individuals were faring. Those not in the play saw nothing but a general mix-up, then Allen stretched upon the field —— the mass of humanity was untan- gled. Coach Charles F. Roby said Allen was a good player and was generally found where the fight was thickest. He did not think Saturday’s game was unnecessarily rough. He admitted the play was hard, but saw no indication of fouling. D. E. Smallwood, a player, said when the men piled off him after the down he saw Allen on the ground near him. He called for him to get up. Allen, he said, attempt- ed to rise, saying that somebody had kicked him. Then he became unconscious.

CNLY A FEW LEONIDS SEEN. Paris and London Astronomers Went Above Clouds by Balloon. Dr. P. J. See, one of the most advanced astronomers in the Government service, Says the shower of Leonids has been an- nounced one year too soon, and that the great dispi‘ay will occur in the middle of Novesnber, 1900. “After the most careful observations, made with the best instriiments of the Gov- ernment,’ he said, “I am thoroughly con vinced that the passage is two years instead of-one year. The meteoric shower has not been as heavy this time as there was good scientific reason for believing it would be. That is because we have not vet struck the thick part of the tail. “By my calculations this collision will occur in the middie of November. 1900. Then the resultant display of burning meteors will be as brilliant as the one ob- served by Humboldt in Venezuela In 1799. “The present visitation is a counterpart of that of 1833. At that time there were displays in two vears, that of 1832 being afout as feeble as the present has been, und that of the succeeding year being near- ly a striking as the one recorded by Hum- a) : At no point of observation did the dis- play come up to the expectations of scien- tists.

W hile the trip was highly successful and the young woman won great admiration by her exhibition of nerve, her observations were unsatistactory. Rikhofs’ ascent reached a height of 1000 meters. One hundred Leonids. twenty of which were of the first magnitude, were ob- served from the balloon. The descent was made near the village of Plessis. St Op- portune, Department of the Pure. A dispatch from Paris quotes M. Camille Flammarion as follows: ‘Ae had calculated, the shower ot shooting stars was not very abundant.

~ FROM HER FOOT Post-Dispatch Secures Nettie Weindorff’s Release. THE GRAND JURY HAS ACTED. WREED AFTER BEING HELD A PRISONER THREE MONTHS. ' Sequel to a Remarkable Case in Which Official Oarelessness Caused a Young Woman Great Suffering. Nettie Weindorff is free. the grandjury. The strap that has held her & prisoner at the City Hospital for seven weeks was removed Friday morn- ing. It was a treat for Nettie to walk through the hospital ward unfettered. Her face was wreathed in smiles, and its expression bespoke the happiness she felt. For the first time since her incarcera- Exonerated by ean iil afford; s impaired and her qrances for obtaining employment made To her those fifteen weeks, which the executors of the law required to deliberate on the merits of her case, have seemed an age. She is 18, but she appears much oid- e. Her siege of sickness has told upon Her cheeks are pale and wan and her ise reduced to W. usband, who is 4 years old, is a rtd Ati fellow,. but is devoid of sympa- thy for the one who had been hie help- mate five years. He is bitter against his delicate young wife and says he is deter- mined to have her rearrested. When the police began their en inquiry into the case they overlooked the reason that prompted Welndorft's presence at the Vandeveere house. They did not ascertain that the husband and wife had been estranged and because of his alleged ill-treatment of her Mrs. Weindorff had re- fused to lve with him longer. On that night, when it is claimed the watch and chain were stolen, he had come to seck a reconcillation. Since March they had lived apart. and Weindorff had taken possession of the baby boy. It was for the sake of the child that Nettle considered the reunion and told her husband she would give her decision in a few days. It is inferred from the manner in which the police charged them that Weindorff and his Wife were in collueion. The circum- stances clearly indicated otherwise, and when Mr. Vandeveere learned this, through an article published tn the Post-Dispatch soon after Nettie’s arrest, his mind changed and he became assured gility of any wrongdoing. “I would rather do anything than steal,” said Nettle, “and my husband knows I had no hand tn that offense. He is trying to injure me now, because after the let- tersehe has written me he knows I will not live with him again. He has made my life miserable enough and I am willing to go out In the world and earn my own liv- ing.’ —— -—— NETTIE WEINDORFF. Sketched by a Post-Dispatch Artist at the City Hospital. ema re t—i ee tion, three months ago, she was allowed to wander at will and the air of freedom seemed to inepire her with new life. For the moment her sufferings were forgotten, and she talked enthusiastically of the plans she had formed for the future. Nettle was informed of the decision soon after it was reached Thurs- day afternoon. Her foot was dangling from the cot, and the strap that bound it left a deep imprint on the skin. “Free!” exclaimed Nettie, when the an- Mmouncement was made. ‘Is it possible they have at last done me justice?’ Goon recovering her composure, she said: “I am free because the Post-Dispatch helped me. I don't know how to express my thanks. Day after day I have waited fora trial of my case. I knew I was inno- cent and could prove so. But the officials kept putting me off, and it appeared as though they were determined to keep me in n.*’ Nettie Weindorff and her husband were jointly charged with th® theft of a gold watch and chain from a residence at 245 Morganford road, where Nettie was em- loyed as a servant. The police suspected ettie because she was supposed to have been the one familiar with the premises, but there was no evidence showing that she had a’‘ded in the alleged larceny. That she was implicated was merely a supposition. Apparently the authorities did not pursue their investigations; had they done so they would have found extenuating circumstan- ces leading to the conclusion that the ung woman was fInnocent. Nor did her ge ever receive consideration. When the prosecuting witness, Leo Van- eveere, went tothe Four Courts and asked or her release he says he was turnel away. On three different occasions he tried to see her at the City Hospital, but with- out success. Nettie Weindorff was not allowed to com- municate with the outer world. But al- most every week, often two and § three times a week, her husband, locked in the Bt. Louis jail, sent her threatening let- ters. He was aware that his wife, from whom he was separated, did not propose to shield him and he warned her of the consequences if she persisted in her deter- mination. Nettie Weindorff, poor and friendless, was assailed from all sides. The division nurse, Miss Rufus, referred to her as “the pris- oner."" Not onee, Nettie declares, did they address her by her name. The guard wae ordered to shackle the pris- oner to a chalr in the morning, and to watch the prisoner carefully at night. At the City Hospital she was thrown among colored women, and though she protested, her com- plaint went unheeded. Among those who believed tn Nettle Weln- dorff's A momne ood was Mrs. Wagstaff of 43% Beck avenue. She recommended Nettie to Mr. Vandeveere’sa family, who lved only é if a block from her. She was familiar with the roan wife's atruggie for existence. and she was k been betrayed. She, too, was a visitor at .the hospital, but her requests to interview Neitie were denied. All Nettle asked was a hearing. The Post- Dispateh of Tuesday presented the facts, showing the suffering she had undergone, and the weary days she had passed waiting for the authorities to act. It was shown that her appeals for a trial had beon ignored, though she had watlted fifteen weeks. Asaistant Circuit Attorney Hodgdon told the Post-Dispatch that Prosecution would not be dropped, that a@n attachment would be tesued against the rosecuting Witness and he would be forced © testify. He added that Vandeveere’s whereabouts were unknown and that until he was found Nettie Weindorff could not relea . he Post-Dispatch of Thursday published letters m ys, Wagstaff, to the effect she had seen Vandeveere and that he to have the authorities liberate the pessener.

The persistent demand for living wages has behind it the home, with wife and children to be provided for. If a ma- jority of the workers wére unmarried and likely to continue 50, Wages would fall materially. Much misery undoubtedly results from marriages among the poor. But the prohibition of such marriages would cause much greater misery, combined with immorality. Instead of advocating laws interfering with the natural re- lations of human beings, the wise course is to work for such economic conditions that no one nced be kept from marrying by the fear of poverty. = _ The heroic conduct of Lieut. Winston Churchill, South Afri- can correspondent of the New York World and St. Louis Post- Dispatch, illustrates the mode of modern newsgathering. Iieut. Churchill had no sooner landed than he made his way to the front, where news. was making. When the armored train on which he attempted to establish communication with Ladysmith was attacked he showed himself a gallant soldier as well as an energetic correspondent. This is the type of man developed by modern conditions. Intelligent, alert, brave, the newepaper man is the eye of his country. He has a public duty to perform, and he does it as a matter of course, without regard to the difficulties in the way, which he has a habit of surmounting. ideut. Churchill is reported missing, but whether he has met a soldier’s death or is a prisoner among the Boers is not yet known. His last message to the Post- Dispatch foreshadowed a British disaster. No definite infor- mation has since been received. '-—- = FATAL FOOTBALL The death of a student of the Christian Brothers’ College from injuries inflicted in a game of football raises a question of growing importance. The Post-Dispaetch believes that accidents will happen in the best regulated sports, and that occasional injuries con- stitute no argument against athletics. But so many accidents have occurred in football that it may well be questioned whether the game, as now played, is not too dangerous. In St. Louls several young men have suffered serious injuries which can be accounted for only by supposing that modern football is too rough for legitimate athletics. It is said that experts. young men who know how to play the game as it should be played, do not suffer. Perhaps so. But in order to become experts they must undergo a training thet has just proved fatal to young Allen. We do not wish to discourage athletics, or any physical exercise calculated to develop manliness and muscle. But’ let the line be drawn when life is endangered. — >> i a 4 The release of Nettie Weinberg, after several weeks’ con- finement in jail and hospital without warrant of right or justice, does not reflect any credit upon the police and prose- cuting officers. They appear to have thought the case not important enough to give it attention until the Post-Dis- patch published the facts and demanded her discharge. It was not necessary to repeat the demand. She was discharged at once. Why was not this simple act of justice done at the proper time? hippy ~~ SS THE SPRIGHTLY SAVAGE. The destruction of Aguinaldo and his army, announced as about to be'accomplished, has been postponed. The delay is caused by the escape of the Filipino who has a natural aver- sion to being destroyed. Gen. Otis seems to have forgotten the first ingredient in the recipe for crushing naked savages—first catch your savage, This the General has not done. Worse still, nobody knows where the Filipino is. He was about to be caught, but did not keep the appointment Otis made for him. The game of hide and seek is diverting, but unprofitable. Are conditions in the Philippines such that effective opera- tions are impossible or is the American commander unequal to the sprightly sport? >> _ i me 4 American gocds can be sold in Asia whether we hold the Philippines or not.

It is plain to me now, and with reverence I humbly bow to the generosity of the Post-Dispatch in pub- lishing a ‘“‘Lover’s Quarrel,’’ and “Adivice for True Hearts TJ'iorn by Mutual Misunder- standing.”’ In her article, ‘*‘Pansy’’ begged all sweet- hearts to lay aside pride, depicting its falsity and foolishness. ‘“‘Pansy’s’’ article, for my heart was lacer- ated and bleeding with woeful distress and the hellish demons of jealousy were holding high carnival around the portals of my help adoring her, with myself heading the | was true. |ardent rapture of a I read and reread | lias the | tenderness. consolation of knowing that she loved me, 'and love’s melody oft julled my soul to | sweet repose. \fire anc ww” How ITwo Fond Hearts “Pansy's” Were Reconciled Good Offices. soul.

They came with this white lilac from Monsieur Allard.’’ Madame put by her sac unopened. Eula- lie, a tall, well-built girl, with handsome regular features, dressed as richly as would be becoming in a demoiselle a marier, opened the one that bore her name daintily embroidered on it, took out a eweet, and then began to arrange the lilac. Gabrielle found it difficult to unite the gold-stranded string around the neck of the sac, and went to her work basket at the other end of the room for a knitting needle. There were signs of excitement in the agreeable but not pretty face of the girl, who, in- deed, had nothing but a fine pair of eyes and look of good nature to atone for heavy features, coloriess face, and dull hair. Her short, rather squab figure was little aided by hér somewhat unfashionable frock. A minute later she was really pretty—for a moment—as her eyes eagerly gazed at a letter that she drew out of the bag. She uttered a little ery, and then ran for- ward. “Oh. but look here, auntie; look at this!”’ Suddenly an air of dismay came over her. “Tt can't be for me,’ she continued; “‘it must be for you, Eulalie.”’ The aunt read the letter, or rather, note aloud: Mademoiselle: I take this opportunity of tell- ing you what you must have guessed—that I love you.

Goudinet, “will be delighted, and I suppose,” she added quizzically, “that the blush in your cheek, Gabrielle. may be taken as a sign of ac- quiesence?”’ The blush burnt deeper. “Come.” said Eulalie, “while mamma is talking to father about it, I'll make you look as smart as possible. We haven't too much time, for [ expect your’’—and she paused maliciously—"‘pretendu wll be here at 6 o'clock.” At 4:45 o'clock M. Allard was announced, The salon was half full of members of the Goudinet family, for it was the birthday of M. Goudinet as well as New Year's Day. No one knew the secret, since M. Goudinet determined to contrive a little poetic coupe de theater for the benefit of the family. Everybody was whispering about the un- wonted prettiness of Gabrielle. Eulalie had not come down; ehe had taken so much time arranging Gabrielle that she was late over her own tollet. M. Allard entered; a good-looking fellow, dressed in English style, with a manly air and a nervous manner. M.

Goudinet and I accede to his request.”’ The radiant look In the young man’s face was delightful to see. The girl leaned against her aunt for support. ‘Come here, my dear,” called M. Goudl- net; ‘‘come here.” ‘Mme, Goudinet led her forward. For the first time during the Allard saw her. Ih a second his eyes searched the whole room. ‘The color fled from his face; he gazed at the girl as if he were a man gazing at death. ‘‘Monsieur Allard, my dear nephew,” sald M. Goudinet, joining the hands of the two young people, “émbrassez votre flancee.”’ There was a long pause—thrillingiy long. The man was gazing at the girl's face, a strange look in hie. She raised her eyes, the beautiful'eyes, her one charm, eyes then brilliant with happiness and affection. He bent forward to kiss her forehead. Sudden- ly she started, giving a cry of pain. “Oh, you have hurt my hand, monsieur; you have pressed it so hard!” He tried to stammer an excuse. Her eyes were fixed on his face. Ere he had uttered two words she interrupted: ‘ ‘“‘Moneieur Allard, was there no mistake? Was the latter in the right sac? Was it meant for me?’ He gasped and stuttered. “What does this mean?” scene M. asked M. Goud- “Unele, it means there is a mistake. I saw ‘in his eyes that he does not love me.”’ “What does this mean?" said M. Goudinet sharply to the young man. “There wes a mistake,” said the young man mourntuily. ““;oodness knows how it happened! The letter was meant for your daughter.’ : ‘“*“Well, but—"’ Interposed M.. Goudinet. “But,”’ continued the young man with dig- nity, “when I saw what a mistake there was, and the fault was mine; when I guessed, too, I hope fatuously, that Mlle. Gabrielle had some liking for me, and know she was willing to accept me, I deter- mined, as a true Frenchman, to take the happiness offered to me, even if it were not that which I sought, and carry the se- cret of my mistake to the grave.” kiverybody was profoundly moved—the ladies, all of them, to tears. “T am still ready,”’ said the voung man with trembiing voice; but Gabrielle inter- rupted him. “I know what I lose,” said the poor girl, the words forcing themselves painfully from her; “but I will not be ungenerous.

Putnam's Sons, childhood has come into a new treasure. The volume is so dainty that it seems to exude a eweetness of its own, and the etories within its bind- inds (tales of Nature's own fairy doings) are full of pretty imagery and of talk that informs while it entertains. In his intro- duction to the book Senator Chauncey M.

Pluctuations of the Most Active Stocks Indicate a Heolthy Advance in the Business World. During the first four days of this week @here was a steady advance in the stock market that has sent prices up till the holder of almost every security listed on the New York Stock Exchange is much the ficher. The advance has been made in the face of what the most conservative have termed a bad bank statement, that of last Baturday, and has been steady in spite of all rumors, flurries and reports of a bear nature.. It is seemingly a healthy ad- vances, and it includes nearly every stook on the list, industrials, grangers, coalers, | @teel, everything. he amount of money this represents to the holders of securities is almost beyond estimate.

The fegular bull movement that comes every ear at this time is one; the lack of dis- urbance jn the business world is another; the heavy demand for steel and iron has undoubtedly sent the steel stocks up; the alk of gold imports and the action of the easury Depariment in offering to buy honds—all these things have been buil ents.

Maurice Meehan, who went to the Morgan County (111.) Poor Farm against the wishes of his wife and son, John, of Bast St. Louis, has fallen heir to $20,000, left by the death of a son who had been missing 20 years. The $20,000 is in cash. In addition to this the son leaves his father inter- ests in three mining claims which are sald to be valuable, and a large transportation company in Alaska, William Meehan, by whose death Maurice Meehan is made rich, was last_heard of in 1879. He was then living at Louisiana, Mo. When the rush to the Black Hills in Dakota began young Meehan was in the number of prospectors. Since that time nothing had been heard from him until attorneys in San Francisco began the eearch for his relatives. He met death at the hands of hostile Indians in May, 1899. The father, Maurice Meehan, is a cripple, having only one arm. He has been a resi- Gent of East St. Louls many years. There is not a dark office in the Mermod & Jacoard Building, Broadway and Locust.

BOY FOUND A STRADIVARIUS His Father Refused the $500 Reward, but the Owner of the Violin Will Educate the Lucky Lad.° Through Henry Dausch, the 15-year-)ld son of John A. Dausch of No. %8 De Kalb street, the Stradivarius violin which was stolen from the home of John Dessberger, who resides near Affton, in Bt. Louis Coun- ty, has been recovered. The violin was stolen last Friday, and was purchased by a Franklin avenue pawn- broker Wednesday from a woman who said she had a sick child and needed money. Young Dausch happened along in quest of a violin, and bought it from the pawnbroker for $12. His father discovered that it was the In- strument which had been stolen, an account of which he had read in the newspapers, and returned it to its owner Thursday. A reward-.of $00 had been offered by Mr. Dess- berger for the recovery of the violin, and Mr. Dausch was offered a check for that amount, which he refused. Mr. Dessberger, however, Will look after the boy’s musical education as a return for being instrumental in restoring the violin to its owner.

Greensfelder of Central, St. Louis County, Mo., a well-known Repub- ican, has maltiled to influential persons a copy of the “‘Rules and Reeulations of the Re- pean Primary Election, held July W, 1888. n Gasconade County, Mo.,"" and has asked thoughtful consideration of it. “For the true expression of the popular will of cliizens of this republic,”’ says Mr (;reensfelder, “‘the best plan is none too Kood No doubt objections can be ralsed |and defeets pointed out in the Gasconade County plan.
