THURSDAY EVENING—ST: LOUIS—DECEMBER 14, 1899 PRICE} Im St. Deuts, One Cent. Outside &t. Leuis.ffwe Venta. PAGES, TO THE PUBLIC. The publishers of the POST-DISPATCH, Republic, Globe-Democrat and Star, in ex- Dianation of the failure of the Post-Dis- Patch and Star to appear until 8 o'clock _ last evening, submit the eubjoined state- ment of facts. The important principle of arbitration between employer and employe was involved, and in support of that prin- Ciple the publishers feel that no sacrifice Was too great. A strike of the pressmen employed in the pressrooms of the Republic, Globe '‘Demo- crat, Post-Dispatch and Star, inaugurated at noon yesterday, terminated last evening at 8 o’clock, when the evening papers af- fected issued. The failure of the two afternoon papers to appear was the result of an agreement between the four newspapers named to in- definitely cease publication rather than ac- cede to a peremptory demand of the press- meén, who had just repudiated an agreement arrived at by arbitration, according to the terms of which the decision of the arbi- trators was to have been final and binding upon all parties. The arbitration had been conducted by Mr, Chas. H. Huttig, president of the Third National’ Bank, on behalf of the publishers, and Mr. M. J. Gill of the Glassblowers’ Union, at present a delegate to the Amer- ican Federation of Labor, in session at De- troit, on behalf of the pressmen. The pressmen of St. Louis organized early in 1898, and presented certain de- mands to the publishers of 8t. Louis, These were not agreed to, and the matter was referred to arbitration, the President of the International Pressmen’s Union and Mr. George D. Barnard of St. Louis acting as arbitrators at that time. A contract, embodying the decision of these arbitra- tors, was duly signed and became effective in April, 1898. ‘Eight months thereafter the Pressmen’s Union served notice on the publishers that changes in the existing contract were de- sired. According to the provisions of that contract the subject was taken up by a conference committee, which ultimately | disagreed, sending the questions under fur- : ther provision of the contract to the arbi- ' , ee Ree Bete te) trators first named. In addition to the contract amedatsient that the finding of the arbitrators should be final and binding upon both, a special agreement, confirming this understanding, was formally signed June 8, 1899. Under paane conditions the matters went to arbi- tration. On last Saturday evening the arbitrators announced their decision, which embodied all clauses and provisions of a new con- tract, operative for three years. ‘I'nis deci- sion was a compromise between the de- mands and expectations of both parties. On last Monday the Pressmen’s Union served notice on the publishers absolutely repudiating the decision of the arbitra- tors. Accompanying this repudiation of the ar- bitrators’ decision was a new contract, which the pressmen demanded should be signed by noon yesterday, under threat of @ walk-out. A meeting of the publishers of the above- named papers was called and an agree- ment entered into to indefinitely cease pub- lication rather than accede to this demand, This action involved the interests of the local Typographical and all the other allied unions engaged in newspaper production, and brought the question to the attention of President Connolly and Scale Chairman Jackson of the local Typographical Union. After obtaining a statmement of the case from the publishers, they applied to the Pressmen’s Union and reported the facts to President Donnelly of the International Typographical Union, asking him to consult with the president of the International Pressmen’'s Union, with a view to the pro- tection of the local Typographical interests. This conference was held in Detroit, re- sulting in telegraphic instructions from the president of the Typographical Union to the local officers to withhold all support or encouragement from the striking pressmen and urging the local typographers to assist in securing obedience to the orders of the president of the International Pressmen’s Union. The matter was subsequently settled by peremptory orders from President Bowman to the striking pressmen to return to work in the various offices, without conditions other than those prevailing prior to their most recent demands, pending his arrival and investigation of their conduct. The whole question hinges on the right of the pressmen to repudiate the decision of an arbitration which they, with the pub- lishers, had previously agreed to accept as final and binding. No other question than that is now in issue. THE POST-DISPATCH. THE REPUBLIC. THE GLOBE-DEMOCRAT. THE 'STAR. . TOPSY’S IN TOWN. Song’ Giver Free With the Next Sunday Post- Dispatch. HIS LEVEL BEST.

But perhaps Mark Twain !s like a bright fellow who held me up the other day for the purpose of making a few brief remarks. ‘“These people make me sick,”’ he declared, “who come around about 12 times a week to tell me that my stuff is good. Of course I wrote it! Why don’t they tell me eomething new? A collection of excellent short stories con- cerning men and women you know will be a pleasing feature of the next Sunday Post-Dispatch. That same issue will contain many things of especial interest to the ladies. For example, it will contain directions from an expert as to how a woman can wash her hair to the best advantage and at the same time preserve the scalp from ‘all harm—a very difficult thing for any woman to do, as any woman will tell you. It will also present a halftone picture .of Anna Held’s truly wonderful rose petal gown, with a full description of the mate- i gials used and its especially fine points. St. Louis beauties will be presented in a group of striking halftones, such as you jhave scen recently in the pages of the ,Bunday Post-Dispatch. | In addition to this will be produced pio- tures of several charming girls who are | Savorites in the society of South 8t.

Nothing so commonplace @s the end of the world. A woman over in Louisville has been telling the people that they must prepare to leave this mun- dane sphere before next February, but that warning has no terrors for the 80,000,000 people hereinbefore meritioned. The event which they dread is of mightier import than a simple matter of leaving this world. Would you know more? Read the next Gunday Post-Dispatch.

Distinguished writers have contributed the y following articles to the next Sunday Post- Dispatch: “The Divine Mission of Christ,”’ by Cardi- nal Gibbons. “Are Tearful Women Tyrants?” by Dr. George F. Shrady. “‘New York’s Barrier Against the Bubonic Piague,’’ by Alvah H. Doty, Health Off- cer of New York City. “How I Made My First $100," by James C, Fargo, president of the American Ex- press Ca, “Does it pay to reform men? This is the question propounded and an- swered by a St. Louts philanthropist. And how do you suppose he has answered it? He says NO! “What the fallen ones need is the phys!- cian; not the preacher,’’ he says. ‘“‘When you reform a man in asense you kill him.” But that is not half of what he says. This man, who has devoted his own time and money to the uplifting of the unfor- tunate, and who has established a remarka- ble institution in St. Louis in connection with ‘this work, has reached the conclusion. after years of effort, that it does not pay, from a physical standpoint, to convert drunkards and outcasts. Men can be reformed—oh, yes; and many of them stay reformed. This fact this en- thusiast has demonstrated. But there are Other sides of the question to be considered, and this he will do tn the next Sunday Post- Dispatch. In St. Louls there is at present a great missionary—a man who for 4 years has labored among a tribe of the fiercest canni- bals on earth. He has published at least one book, which you will find at the .Mercantile Library, Just about the time he arrived here the newspapers reported that his son, whom he left in the South Sea Islands, had been taken prisoner by these cannibals, and that one of his fellow-workers had been mur- dered by them. At this moment the son may be dead. There is no means of know- ing for many days to come. This aged missiondry once had a thrill- ing experience, which will be strikingly illustrated in the next Sunday Post-Dis- patch. The gavages had eet fire to his fénce, intending to burn his house. He rushed out to extinguish the flames. At the same time he called out to the cannibals: “Unless you help me stop this fire, my God, Jehovah, will punish you all!” Just then a terrible storm camé up, with thunder and lightning, and the savages nearly broke their necks getting to the fire. The house was saved. See the next Sunday Post-Dispatch. BIACNABATO 1S TAKEN. Mountain Stronghold of Filipinos Sur- renders to Lieut. nold. MANDLA, Dee. 14, 11:30 a m.-A detach- ment of Col.

City Institutions Thronged With Un- fortunates—Two Persons Rescued From Snowdrifts During the Night. The indications for Thursday night are for a respite from more snow, with colder weather, which will continue throughout Friday. Since the first flakes sifted down on St. Louis at noon Wednesday no less than 4 inches of snow have fallen, a heavy pre- cipitation, although by no means uncom- mon for this season of the year. By night- fall, Dr. Hyatt, the forecast official, ex- pects the snow to cease. He anticipates a drop in temperature of about 10 or 12 degrees. “I don’t care to risk my judgment be- vond Friday evening,”’ sald Dr. Hyatt Thursday morning, “but until that time I look for cold, fair weather.” The prasent snowstorm, according to Dr. Hyatt, is not of the home-made va- riety. It comes from the north and north- east, where it has been actively engaged in whitening the landscape. St. Louis is getting the tag-end of the storm, for there has been no fall of snow on the other side of the Ohio River. The thermometer focled a great many people Thursday morning. There was 4 strong wind to swirl the tiny snowftakes into the faces of those persons who were foreed to spend time outdoors, and ir their discomfort they almest forgot to get cold. In reality the mercury was hanging close to the 2 pcint all morning, a degree of cold which ordinarily mekes people shiver and grumble. In Nebraska the mercury dropped to 20 degrees below zero Thursday morning and: the prevailing conditions are that all of ‘Missouri will get a taste of the severe weather. ALL TRAINS WERE LATE. On Arrival the Cars Were Completely Clothed in White Mantles. Trains of eight of the great railroad sys- tems runnitg inte St. Louis were: from five minutes to five hours l&te in arriving at Union Station Thursday morning, on account of the heavy fall of snow of the aest before. he lines affected lay in every direction about St. Louis, showing that the storm was not confined to any particular section-— Bast, West, North and South—all suffered alike. When the belated trains finally backed into the shed at Union Station they pre- sented ghostly appearances. Tops and sides of cars were covered with snow which had been frozen into a solid mass and glistened brilliantly. Only the windows and the plat- forms were uncovered. Bach of the delayed trains had been in the storm for from eight to ten hours, They suffered little inconvenience until midnight. Then the flakes began to drift upon the rails and make them as slippery as though they had been oiled. Streams of sand Were aoeres upon them, but they did little good. great drive wheels of the engines would whirl for a minute with all their ower and the train would only move a ew feet. It was tortuous going after these difficulties were encountered. But the en- _——- kept at their work, and succeeded n pulling through. There was not much drift about the snow and the arriving passengers of the belated -trains say the only inconvenience they ex- periescer was in belng compelled to travel SioWly. The Missouri, Kansas & Texas trains suffered more from the storm and experi- enced the most aggravating delays. All trains from the South were liate. The first due in St. Louis in the morning was six hours behind the schedule time. It nar. rowly escaped being tied up in a drift in Southern Missouri. The Baltimore & Ohio road was almost as much inconvenienced as the. Missouri, Kansas & Texas. Ite trains from New York backed into the station four hours after they were due. The two Chicago trains on the Chicago & Alton line were 30 minutes late. The Frisco train from Galveston and Texas points was one hour and 60 minutes late. The train of the same line from Kansas and other Western points was one hour ard 10 minutes late. They ran into the same snow belt that the Mis- souri, Kansas & Texas encountered § in Southern ‘Missouri. The Wabash train from Kaneéas City to Bt. Louis could not make headway past Mober- ly, and it was divided into two sections there, each being pulled on to St. Louis by a separate engine. The Omaha train of the same line was one hour and 15 minutes late. The Illinols Central, known as the Dixie Flyer, and making Southern points, was 30 minutes late, and the Missour! Pa- cific trains from Western and Southwestern points were from 6 to % minutes behind their schedules. AT HOSPITAL AND DISPENSARY. A Woman and a Man Rescued From Under Snow Drifts. The blizzard brought its quota of un- fortunates to the City Hospital Wednesday night. ‘Mest of them went there volun- t@ily, bui some Were taken there just in time to prevent them from succumbing to the cold. The ill-clad, Ul-shod poor had their first taste of real winter weather and those of them who had mo homes gought refuge in the noe hayen for the unfortu- nate. Before midnight applicants began fo appear at the front gate of the hospital, Each had some real or simulated ailment and none who really needed shelter were turned away. All night long others of the city’s poor, too weak from hunger or too benumbed with cold to walk to the hospital, gravi- tated toward the City Dispensarv. That was merely a halfway point on the route of their weary pilgrimage, for their mecca was the hospital with warm rooms and comfortable cots and meng’) nurses, Ranged about the dimiwv lighted reception room they sat patiently waiting their turns to see the physicians, their saviors, who had the power to give them the precious —— which would admit them to the ospital. Their eyes danced with dealigit as they contemplated the redness of the big roundhouse stove that sent its warmtu even to the humbjest petitioner in the farihest corner of the room. There were men and women there who had never asked for charity before Who were passing from the state of shabby gentility to that of plain shabbiness, from the state of hunger to that of starvation. ‘There were women thcire who asked for their children, not for themeelves, the boon of 1 warmth and shelter and wholesome food. ~ CONTINUED ON PAGER THRE _ « GEN Sarin he on is eal % a bigs we re lee 2 aed S we *“* — , &.-. * ae The Post-Dispatch Was Corre- y spondent Gets Away From the Boers.

Threatened to Kill Herself and Had Told Her Neighbors She Would Die on December 13, Which She Did. Mrs. Mary Schlindwetn of 2002 South Gec- ond street died from bullet wounds at her home Wednesday night. The police have not determined whether she committed eui- cide or was murdered, Her husband was arrested Thursday morning. If Mrs. Schlindwein did not commit sul- cide, she at least threatened to and made eldborate and original arite-mortem ar- rangéements. Ghe was 42 years old. Her husband lacks three months of being halt that age. The question of suicide or murder rests on the exact number and character of the wounds. The report of the police of the Third District, in which the tragedy oc- curred, differs from te finding of the morgue superintendent. The report stated there were only two Dbuilet wounds. The morgue attaches found three distinct wounds, but two of these may Have been caused ‘by one bullet. The husband was arrested shortly after the shooting and released by Capt. Young on his own statement of the affair. Act- ing Chief Pickel ordered hise re~arrest Thursday morning, and he was held. About six months ago iMrs. Schlindwein shot her husband in the arm. She waé fined $100. She and Schlindwein were mar- ried shortly after this episode. iMrs. Schlindwein made her first threat of self-destruction (Monday. She repeated the threat to various persons severa! times since them, and made preparations for her burial. She made a verbal will in the pre- sence of her husband and Flora Evans, an old friend. She named the day on which her death should occur and selected one of her pall- bearers. And the day ehe named was Dec. 13. on which day she died. Sc hlindwetin’s story, which is cofroborated in part by the statements of other persons, was told by him to the Post-Dispatch Thursdey morning after his arrest. My wife committed suicide,’ he said, ow hy she did it 1 do not Know, unless it was because she was so much older than I. She always thought people made fun of us. She was jealous, too. You know she shot me last summer because she found me anothe r woman. “She began last gee te, make threats that she would kill herself. I did not think ehe meant it, and ‘joshed’ her about It. She said she ‘would never live till the 14th of the month. She said the 13th was a good day to die on. “She went to Louis Sauer’s saloon at 2000 South Second street Tuesday and got $10 which Sauer was keeping for her. She told Sauer she was going to kill herself, and that she did not want me to have the money after she was dead. ‘“Yeaste rday—Wednesd: iy—she and I visited Flora Evans at 618 South Third street. We stayed there for dinner. My wif& told Flora, who is an old friend of hers, that she was going to commit suicide. They went up on Broadway and had their pic- tures taken. After they came back, while we were at the dinner table, my wife said the. pictures were to be distributed after her death. She said one was for me, an- other.for Flora, third was to be sent to Will Steineman, a soldier in the Philippines, and one was to be given to Louls Sauer'’s wife. “She told Flora how she wanted to be buried. She said Flora was to prepare yg for the funeral. She said she wanted to be dressed in white. Everything, includ- ing the, slippers, Was to be white. ‘A picture of me was to be placed in the coffin on herleft side near her heart, and a picture of the soldier wae to go on the other side. She used to go with the Soldier before she married me, and it seems that she still loved him. She wanted her snake breastpin nut on her, too “She drank some whisky while we were at Flora’s house, and she was feeling the liquor when int) te home. ‘She kept talking about suicide all the time. In the evening, after we reached home, Charlie Petschler came im to visit us. GShe had told me that she wanted Charlie for one of her pall bearers. I told Charlie about it, in a joke, and asked h'a if he had a black suit to wear at the funeral. Charlie laughed about ft, and so did Il. My write laughed, too, but she said it was no joke, and that she was certainly going to kill herself. Charlie did not stay long. He did not think she was in earnest, and he said some- thing funny about the suicide when he was going out. I went into the yard about 8 o'clock. While I was out of the house I heard two shots. I ran to the house. The door was optn and my wife was stretched on the floor, just inside the door. The door was open. here was a pistol on the floor near her. “I ran upstairs and called Charitle Petsch- ler and Julius Scherer. They went down with me Mre. Schlindwein was dead when the three men reached her side. Two wounds were visible, one in the chest, the other in the per There were two empty cartridge shells in the revolver. The police of the Third District made an investigation. Scherer and Petschier, who were in the room above where Mrs. Schlindwein was found, stated that thew heard two reports so close together that they sounded almost as one. Quiet fol- lowed the shots for the space of two or three minutes. Schlindwein burst into their room and cried, “She has done what she said she would.” Louis Sawer, the saloonkeeper, and Flora Evans corroborated Schlindwein’s state- ment of what his wife said to them. Capt. Young reported the case as a sul- cide, and sent the body to the Morgue. When Chief Pickel received the + ‘Mor report Thursday morning, stating a there were three bullet wounds, he evaare’ another eoNye ange | and the arrest of Sichtindwein, Capt. Young’s second inves- tigation did not change his opinion that Mrs. Schlindwein committed suicide.

WASHINGTON, -Dee, 14.—Gen. Piet Jou- bert, commander-in-chief of the Transvaal army, was not connected with the Union army during the civil war; nor was he a Colonel in any regiment of the Confederate service. His name does not appear upon the muster rolls of either side in the war of the rebellion, and it is determined beyond peradventure that he never served under his own Name in either side in the war Brigadier-General F. C. Ainswerth, in between the States. charge of the war records of the Govern- ment, has conclusively decided this mooted point. Gen. Ainsworth said to-day: “In compliance with the request of the Post-Dispatch, I have had a careful ex- amination made of the records of the war of the rebellion. We have searched the muster rolls of both the Union and Confed- erate armies, Joubert’s name does not ap- pear. As we have the lists of both sides, it is conclusive, therefore, that the Boer General never served under his own name in either army. “Before the Post-Dispatch made its re- quest for information I had been told by Pennsylvania correspondents that Joubert Was in the Union army as Colonel of a Pennsylvania regiment. I did not believe the story, but made no examination. Yesterday and to-day, however, I have had all the roils examined. Piet Joubert never served in either army. = BRITISH LOST 87 | MEN AT MAGERSFONTEING = =. Major-Jeneral, METHUEN MAY BE CUT OFF. The Greatest Disaster and Severest Battle of the War.

LONDON, Dec. 14.—Methuen lost 871 men, killed, wounded and missing at the battle of Magersfontein, near Modder River, Tues- day. He was repulsed, driven back and his men passed all of Monday night in dig- ging trenches to protect the army from an expected attack by the Boers.

It is reckoned that Methuen fought the battle with 8000 men, against 12,000 Boers. Thus Methuven’s loss was 11 per cant of his force in the field, This is thé percentage of loss at the famous battle of Sadona, in 1866. It is predicted to-day that Gen.

In the latter city the men will join an Irish regiment being formed to go to the assist- ance of the Boers. The recruits from this country come lar ly from Chicago, New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Cleveland and other cities. ‘Five hundred more Irishmen will follow to Paris in a couple of weeks. Plans have alread been. made for the en- tire regiment of 1000 to reach the scene of the fighting. Maj. William J. Gleason, one of the best- known Irish-Americans in this city, said: “This movement has been on foot among | three In two weeks another party from | the Irish in about weeks. here will leave for New York to enlist in the service.

FRANKFORT, Ky., Dec. 14.—Nearly all the members 8f the Democratic Campaign and State Central Committees arrived to- day. Thetr conference began at noon. Without exception they are in favor of making a contest before the Legislature to oust the Republican Governor and Lieutenant-Governor, and say that not to contest would be a virtual indorsement of tissue ballots and soldiers at the poll’ Resolutions urging the contest will likely be adopted by the committee this after- noon. It s€emes to be the feeling that the contest will surely be made. _————_— MERCURY WILL HOVER NEAR 0. CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE. _ Those who obtained perm'ts did not have to walk to the hospital.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14,—Congressman Bartholdt has secured important official data in the War Department to-day, which apparently strengthens very materially his contention that the War Department can- not grant a permit for important action of any character in regard to the navigable waters of the United States without special authority from Congress. Mr. Bartholdt has discovered proof that this view i shared by the chief of army engineers, Gen. Wilson, and has been stated by hi as applicable especially to the Chica Drainage Canal. Gen. Wilkon in his last report after pointing out the dangers in opening the sewer, including probability that it would lower lake levels, and referring to the con- ditions of the temporary permit granted by Secretary of War Alger, said: “The question has been témporarily, aud, as an experiment, settled by t conditional permut, but owing to its great- importance it would @ r that its uitimate settle- ment shou have the attention of Con- gress."’ “From all that-can be learned, the Drain- age Canal Company had about determined to throw open the canal without further authority than that obtained in the Alger ermh.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.—President Mc- Kinley has never been to a play in Wash- ington since this inauguration. The last play he witnessed was “A Black Sheep,’’ in the Canton Opera House, in which he is a stock- holder. Every management here places the best boxes in the house at his disposal, and he is generally represented by Mrs. Mc- Kinley and friends, the mistress of the White House being fond of the theater. Buechre is the White House amusement after dinner, when there are ne state func- tions oor receptions.

HAVANA, Dec. 14.—Gen. Brooke received an official dispatch to-day that he would lhe relieved by Gen. Woods. Until that time he had refused to credit the report. Gen. Brooke feels hurt and takes the President's complimentary illusions as perfunctory. He 6: d it was just one year ago to-day that he had been qssigned to duty in command of Cubans, and that he had put in a year of hard work and hed sought to carry out the plans of the Administration. He did not understand that action in relieving him meant a change of polfcy. Regarding his persona] plans, Gen. Brooke said: “I have become accustomed to life in the ropes and shall not endanger my health Ry re, directly north in wh -winter. hen I rea Washington it will depend somewhat on weather conditions. yf .

Gen. ooke adheres to his protest against the further reduction .of military forces on the island. ition of the other commanders in ‘Cuba to Gen. Woods’ promotion is tempered by a feeling that they may endanger their own prospect, It is accepted in Havana that the department commanders will tbe re- tired. Gen. J. H. Wilson, in command of Matanzas and Santa Clara, recently de- clared himself as not wanting to go on the retired list. He eaid he wanted to icontinue in active service. ' Gen. Fitzhugh Lee is not so particular and will EOC retirement gratefully. Gen. luudiow’s status is somewhat different. It is his ambition to have the credit of making Havana a model city and the belief of army officers in the city is that he will ewallow + pegs ming +e de and try to get ajong under Wood rather than re- linguish double pay, go back to the engin- eer corps and abandon the hope of a briga- dier generalship. The position of Gen, Chaffee, Brooke’s chief of staff, is undetermined. One report is that he will be transferred to Santiago. ‘The Cuba factions which have opposed (en.

They usually walk from the Capl- tol down Pennsylvania avenue to Four- teenth street. There Justice Harlan takes the car for his home on Columbia Heights, the others continuing the walk to their re- spective homes. These are the big four of the Supreme Bench, their combined weight being nearly one thousand pounds.

THEY ARE THE BEST. 000000000000 F Just as Easy to Form as Any Other. We do not deliberately form our pet habits, but they are unconsciously ac- quired and grow as we grow, aud by the time we learn they are hurting us, we find them too strong to be easily broken. Then, why not form a good habit. a habit which will counteract the many bad ones, in. other words contract the un- fashionable habit of being always well. ~The best health habit to get into is to have and kee vigorous stomach; if you have a healthy. digestion you can drink our beloved coffee, smoke your favorite end of tobacco, with little or no harm: the mischiei begins when these things are forced upon the faithful stomach, without any assistance. Form the habit of taking after meals some harmless but efficient digestive |? which will relieve the stomach of so much eXtra work. . Nature furnishes us with such diges- tives and when they are combined in such a pleasant pteparation as Stuart’s Dys- pepsia Tablets, they give the overworked stomach just the necessary assistance to secure perfect digestion without any of the harmful effects of cathartics and simi- lar drugs. oereceocoos $66666600060800660606660660066 OOO i Ladies’ and ure Linen Exm- ed Initial Hand 4reds of the newest At 50c on the Dollar rice ; t- PeOTeS ORY SE LW OERNENCEG CRUE bt cat mee ae stripes, Misses’ Furs, Muff Gloves—Lined Kid, with Se gee a Fur new stripes, with or Oe |\— or China Seal, with $1.4 49 75 Misses’ Fur Sets, New ene in box, 39¢ te Shirte—Fine 2 _ “ ‘Foreman. | state Board of Coal Mine Examiners 3 ‘“ALPHUS, Bacar on the disaster and the mine’s condition.» | Reinstated. —The ‘Marble, Mantel and - “One witness said the men frequently ably the compan prob- nstated ia y would avoid suite by a the Build Trades Cou _— a the mine when the bosses were | geners) settlement to the amount of $10 000 had dec! a ie abide ra recent The ut Superintendent Davis denies any offer the Council, but final surrendered, “Gov.

The habit of taking Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets after meals is as necessary to the weak stomach as food itself, and indeed to get the benefit from food eaten, noth- iagw better and certainly nothing saler can be used. Many families consider Stuart’s Tablets as essential in the house as knives and forks. They consist entirely of natural diges- tive principles without the effect or char- acteristics of drugs; they have no cathar- tic action, but simply go to work on the food eaten and digest it. Take into account your bad habits and expense they entail and then invest cents in a box of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets and see if your digestion for the “hext month is not yastly improved. = Ask the clerk in any drug store the ame ne most successful and popular and l ole States Senator from Nebraska.

About # Gt, Louisans accompanied Mr, C. W. .Beehler Wednesday to Kimmswick, Mo.,. 18 milies from St. Louis on the Iron Moun- tain Railroad. Carriages were waiting at the station and the tourists were taken another mils and a half to the spot where the bones of mastodons and other prehistoric animals have cig found. were: Prof. Ben ese in At agg ned 4 tant euperintendent of pub- “os Ohisha y and E. yt oo BA ng 8 minent osition in the story hall of the British Museum xg ntic skeleton of a strange ani- whic ed as the “skeleton la catalo in Jefferson pe ar, foun A.’ k of this meager annou , interesting story, and one whi oh wil ape Des! , pecullass7 o &. Poviaans who have sited the famous English institution and een the queer skeleton. Dr. Koch, a Ger- +. Man student of natural history, is responsi- ble for the presence of the mastodon's skeleton. When he found the bones in Jef- ferson County, Mo., during a visit to ere ica nearly 70 years ago, there was 60 little geners. information of the prehistoric ages hat the doctor, either in mischief or for other reasons, took grave liberties with the bones. For instance, he lengthened the backbone so artistically that none but an expert could distinguish the deception, and in articulating the nes he made one tusk to point upwards and the other to point downwards, The effect can easily be im- agined a it is no wonder the Missouri mastodon is ‘pointed out as one of the “king-pin curigs” in the whole building. There are other mastodonse, ae inf more of them in ie County, the’ judg- ment of Prof. C. W. Beehler is to be ac- cepted as weighty. Prof. Beehler’s own con- victions are so firm that he has secured control of the Jefferson County land and organized a company to ‘‘work’’ the de- posits, just as a man would form a com- pany to develop a gold mine. The con- cern is to be known as the Humboldt Px- ploration Co., and in its Ist of stockholders will be found the names of mapy wealthy St. , Loulsans who raed come to Prof. Beeh- ler’s ‘way of thinkin Prof. Beehler’s esti- mate of the extent of the prehistoric depos- its, expressed in words which al can understand regardless of limited knowledge of natural science, is that “there are 500 carloads of bones of the mastodons, pre- historic ox, Irish elk, horse, bear and alli- gator only a few feet beneath the surface of Jefferson “Count ty.’ The particular tract of land contafning these deposits is owned at present by Fritz Miller, farmer. It ts about one mile w#at of Montesana, and is also ‘situated near Kimmesewick, at which railroad station on the Iron Mountain Railway one must alight to go to the deposits. This property was formerly in possession of a farmer named Palner. He was the owner of # at the time Dr. Koch chanced to be in St. Louis during his tour of the -United States. It seems that Farmer Palmer. while culti- vating his ground one day, “siruck a -F.. the Hkes of which be nor none of his neighbors. had ga seen before. Some vuessed it to trifi ot&®ers thought it a freakieh bit of mineral and all pronounced it “any cold thing,” excep: what it really was. Dr. Kovh heard of the farmer’s wonderful discovery and he went to Kimmeswick to investigate. As soon as he saw the cause of all the worry he recognized it as the tusk of a mastoduon He arranged with the farmer for further investigation and was rewerded with nearly all the bones of a complete skeleton. The German eclentist took the bones with ‘him to Europe. Those which he lacked he pecoened with artificial’ ones of a composi- ae of his own making. The hig skeieton of the North American mestodon wag ex- hfited in Berlin and Paris, and for the time being was the talk of all the learned European men of science. In Bre r time and after customary proceedings the skele- ton of the Missouri maetoton was pur- chased for the British Museum, In the meaftitime, and ever since Prof. Koch's discovery, the. tillers of the soii of Palmer's farm bh&ve gone on finding queer things in the ground. They have taken out tuske 18 and ® feet long and 14 and 18 inches in diameter. They have found teeth and bones of strange animals which have so far defied experts to identify them. Large consignments of these bones have been shipped to Eastern colleges and museums, but beyond the opinion that they were the testh of some carniverous animal no one has been @ble to trace thelr origin. ' Two years ago, Prof. Beehler of 1615 North yurteenth street, St. Louts, became interested in the Kimmeswick deposits, and he has devoted his time almost entirely @ince to investigations of them. The de- -—=ponit from which the specimens in his pos- _ Session at present were taken covers an ‘area of about 140 iby 800 feet, and !s about ‘8 feet under the gurface. There ig no | dowbt of the genuinenees of the bones; the ‘loniy q: estion is, to what animals did they long? Prof. Beehler’s company will try answer the question. Several propositions have ‘heen made from Eetaise pe rs to purchase the Miller farm, fout Prof. Bechler will hear to none of them. |He thinks the treasures should remain in the museums and educational institutions of St. Louis. The result of Wednesday's visit was the Organization of a stock .company for the _ pu e of excavating to considerable | dep and robbing mother earth of the | prehistoric treasures she holds.

Mr. Benjamin was married in Litchfield, ' |TIL, Oct. 20, 1890, and came to St. Louis to oO was ha for only a Pare iene hn tin July, kos Mrs. e 7 amin left her husband and little son, who had been born Feb. 5, 1893. A month later the family wae reunited, but eariy in 189 the wife left again and Mr. benjamin laced the child in charge of hig mother. | ive months jater Mrs. benjamin returned a 15c grade—Friday ito St. Louls and sent a note to Mr. Benje- ‘'min to meet her at the house of a friend, | signing the friend’s name to the note, By this means she diecovered that Mr. Benja- min was not at home. She then went to “tthe house and persuaded ‘the child's grand- mother to allow her to take him out for a walk, promising to purchase candy for him ,at a nearby drug store. The grandmother -jyielded, and Mrs. Benjamin fled with the child to lilinois. She was iocated at Litchfield and Mr. ‘Benjamin, who, it is said, was greatly at- tached to her, wrote a number of letters ‘appealing to her to disclose the hiding Piece she had chosen for the son. It is algo stated by Mr, Benjamin’s friends that he sent the wife $700 between the time of the _ ehild’s disappearance and May, 1899. - Mang of the letters which passed between ‘hijsband and wife were read in court and - tthe father’s pleading for a knowledge of his “'ehild’'s whereabouts moved those in the ' eourtroom to tears. Although she had in most letters reiterated a promise to tell him at some future time the place she had chosen for the chi.d's abode, she died at her mother’s home in St. Louis on May 2 last with the secret locked in her Dreast. After her death a trunk which she had always kept safely lockéd was opened by her mother, and then the discovery of the child’s home was made. Mr. Benjamin was _not in the city at the time and not until ‘Oct. 27 did he learn of his mother-in-law’'s discovery. She showed him the letter which she had found in his wife’s trunk, written by James A. Barton of Winchester, IIl., to whose custody the wife had given the child through the Children’s Home Society of Illinois. Benjamin went to see Barton immediately ‘and explained the child’s history and that ‘it had been stolen from him by its mother. Barton was at first moved by the father’s epedipgs and agreed to surrender the boy, Mrs. Barton wept so copieusly at the — And, incidentally, note a few amous for for they'll go fast at this hapa special price of.........+.- bcones Ladies’ Red Felt Juliets— For trimmed, for JACKETS —Chotce of these choice style , NECK oeenes oe ae iH 0 og teh mo 4 ly boucle, soft fi ff | Ladies’ Felt Julicts beaver or tan avert ted call are full lined— fit the neck—made with furon B = = Fy es and i Size ot pillow tope-worth Too 3 ¢ : | —In black or cardinal— ll h f ble sh finished with six tails and two head all are short. fashionable shapes— a splendid $2.50 quality— = than Sebo — .

He Is Charged With Using the Mails to Deceive—Inspectors In- dentally Inqtired Into ‘His History. ——a Dr. Horace Libya, proprietor of the “Bachelor,” a monthly pudli¢ation designed to instruct young men in the art of correct dress, was rearreste@@hursday morning by Deputy United States: Marshal Watson on the charge of misusing the mails. The second warrant is similar to the firet one issue in that it specifies the doctor has inserféd in various newspapers through- out the country an advertisement calculat- ed to deceive the unwary. Substantiaty the advertisement calls for ung men, who are wanted to do copying, nm return f@r which they are guaranteed a@ salary of $15 a2 week. In order to secure the position it is required that they send rd cents for a sample edition of the ‘“‘Bache- or a On the occasion of Dr. Lloyd's former ar- rest it was charged that several hundred ‘persons had muiled the sum mentioned, but failed to see the ‘“‘Bachelor,”’ nor were they recompensed with an “easy position at home,”’ by which they might work at their leisure and earn $15 weekly. The defendant at the time waived a pre- Mminary examination and the doctor was released on $1000 bond. Among other things the Government of- ficers claimed that the ‘“‘Bachelor’ had not been published for six months, though on the day the doctor was taken into - tod some 5000 proghta poh ch the owner sai éefi run oO Nee The Postoffice inspectors, under the di- rection of Chief Postoffice Inspector Dice, did not cease their investigations. In fact they were anxious to know just who Dr. Lioyd was, and to that end they started correspondence with officials stationed weést of St. Louls, where the doctor was e+e to have aene rerio located, he inquiry develop that r. Lloyd was formerly a resident of Kansas City where, it was alleged] he was associated with a lottery. That was eight years ago, but Uncle Sam’s servants are experts on ancient history, and after a short while they were fully conversant with Dr. Lioyd’s Kansas City record. It is said he lived in sumptuous quarters at the Mid- land Hotel and was regermeé a® quite wealthy. To several of the guests he an- nounced that he was studying medicine at the Kansas City Medical College. In an- other part of the town was a large place copies were had “just ‘fitted up something after a modern bank. There was an elegant suite of rooms, with private offices and private apartments for the accommodation of privileged visitors. This was one of young Lloyd's trysting aces. "Ge morning Kansas City awoke to the fact that Lioyd and his associates were not eo ducting their concern with regard to the welfare of their patrons. ‘he lottery paraphernalia, the expensive Office fixtures and the handsome men who were engineering the scheme were arrested, tried and convictd. Dr. Lloyd escaped with a technical fine of $1 and ¢osts. ut that was the last seen of him in Kansas City. ‘Whither he went no one knew and soon the Government agents lost track of him. Three years ago, according to his own statement, he settied in St. uls. It was not until recently that he assumed charge of the Bachelor. Dr. Lloyd is probably 36 years old. He is a fashion plate, though his Magazine cuts of new styles have the ap- ance of being antiquated, All sorts of deas about how to wear your clothes /are elaborately expounded in the magazine. There are no suggestions for women, but the men are told how they should treat them and how they should dress when vis- iting ‘“‘their. best girl.’ All this valuable advice seems to have been given to young men who were seeking positions with smal! compensation, The doctor told Commissioner Gray that he had no intention of persisti in a vio- lation: of the law and was dumfounded when the Marshal called at his office in the comery bufiding. Thursday morning. “Why,’’ he eaid, “I can’t afford to be subjected to this inconvenience, because I am a busy man. I am the president and neral] manager of a coal company and fientified with a benevolent association, and can’t afford to lose my valuable time.” “Well,” said the Commissioner, dryly, ‘‘I suppose you have brought this trouble on yourself.” “No, I thought I was doing everything to euit the Government.’ Our subscribers are getting their money's worth.”’ ‘“‘Hiow are they making $15 a week?’ “By writing for subscribers.

It is agreed by all unbiased citizens that the filtration of Our water supply should be accomplished before the opening of the World's Fair. It is agrecd that no mistake should be made in the method and operated by the city as a part of the Waterworks. But the bill devised by the Board of Public Improvements, with the approval of Water Commissioner Holman and other Competent engineers, for the purpose of securing these ob- jects and of guarding against mistakes, has been defeated in the Council. e The only alternative—the letting of a contract to private parties without test—involves the three-fold menace of a mig- take, a boodle ‘oh and the loss of the city’s title. to the Water- ‘works. Will the people of St. Louis submit without protest to a sit- uation of this kind? és ~~ » » Uncle Samuel cannot do better than to give heed to the words of Mr. Peck and bestow upon the great Louisiana Pur- chase Exposition a full measure of appropriation.

Workers Desire to Benefit by Increased Price of Tin Plate. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Dec. MU.—TWwo years ago tin-plate was 82.50 a box. To- day it is $5.30, and another advance of 10 er cent will be made within two .weeks. This rapid increase has caused new plants at Wheeling, W. Va.; Washington, Pa.; Rogers, Pa.; Muskegon, M.ch., and others are promised at Pittsburg, Denver and San Francisco. All of these are indepen- dent concerns. Sixty per cent of the tin- plate workmen are in Indiana, and are preparing to advance the wage scale.

They Run Things to Suit Themselves and Now Appear to Be in Per- manent Command. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Dec. 14.—Once more _ the strength of Andrew Freedman in the Na- tional League of baseball clubs has been proved. The suit of New York against Brooklyn for the services of Wrigley was won by him before the Board of Directors. Brook- lyn is to be fined at least $1500. This decision has not been given out by the directors and is supposed to be secret. It will come before the League at its first regular meeting to-day, and wil] be rati- fled by a vote of 9to 1. Brooklyn and New York, of course, have no vote, and Balti- more’s ballot will be cast for the Super- bas. The combination, headed by Brush and Freedman, is by far the most powerful ever formed in the annals of the National League, and only the unanimous vote clause in the natinnal agreement prevents Brook- lyn and Baltimore from being kicked out. T rhe allied magnates log-rollied much last evening, and it is not likely that the ap- parentiy impossible reduction of the cir- cuit to eight clubs wiil be accomplished by some surprising strategical move. “I will bet ro F ug Remnery od that the reduction is made,"’ resident Barney Dreyfuss, of Pittsburg, to the Post-Dispatch reporter, “I knOW what I am talking about, and some people are in the dark. “We intend to see this thing through to the very last,’’ said Mr. Von der Horst of Baltimore @nd Brooklyn. “These fellows who think they are so strong can’t move a wheel without we say so, and we will never consent unless our price is paid for the Baltimore Club. They are four-flushing and we have four aces. Buck Ewing, late manager of the Cincin- nati team, called on President Freedman yesterday at the latter’s request and on the recommendation of John T. Brush. It had been agreed that he was to be manag-~ of the rejuvenated-to-be New York Cluc. “T want you to manage my club," said Mr. Freedman. “You haven’ t a club now. Yon'll have to get one,” replied Ewing. “No, sir; I will not move a wheel until syndicate ball has been abolished and the League uced to _— clubs. When that is done I will pet into the team and buy the best p.ayers > e had; but at pres- ent you will have to do the best you can with men at hand.’ “Il guess not,” replied Ewing. ‘I'll loaf a year in preference to managing a dead one.”’ “Well, we can’t do business,”’ said Freed- man, Capt. A. C. Anson of Chicago is much in | evidence in the lobby of the Fifth Avenue tel. He is one of the prime movers in the new American Association. & THE HOCKEY PLAYERS. Pat Kiely, who played cover point on the seven from the St. Louis University Alum- ni against the team representing the St. Louis Amateur Athletic Association at the lce Palace Wednesday night, ie without @ doubt one of the cleverest hockey players ever seen in these parts.
