The new company has been talked of for Scme time. It will use the Kinloch Tele- phone Co.'s poles, where poles are to be used.

An Unusual Scene at the Four Courts When the Well-Known Brewer ndertook to Report a Burglary. Fred W. Nolker, a son of William F. Nolker, the millionaire brewer and secre- tary of the St. Louis Brewing Association, with offices in the Wainwright building, went to the Four Courts Saturday morning to report a robbery. Assistant and Acting Chief of Detectives James H. Smith quarreled with Mr. Nolker and is alleged to have used force in eject- ing him from detective headquarters. Mr. Nolker lives at 447 Forest Park boulevard. Friday night burglars paid the Nelker residence a visit. All that they se- cured, so far as is known, was a pair of valuable Scotch terrier dogs. Barly Satur- day morning Mr. Nolker went to detective headquarters. He was met by a detective and was taken into the room where the rogues’ gallery is contained and where some of the detectives have desks. Mr. Nolker was left alone temporarily and while he was waiting Acting Chief Smith entered the room. He spied Mr. Nolker. He had a batch of papers in his hands, and stopping in front of the citizen he demanded in a gruff tone to know Mr. Nolker’s busi- ness. “I am being waited upon,” said Mr. Nol- ker in reply, though he was visibly affected by the police official’s manner. “Well, you will tell me your business or ou will he put out of here!"’ Smith is al- eged to have retorted, “Weill, suppose you put me out,"’ quietly replied ‘Mr. N ober. “Well, I will,” said Mr. ginith. Then he laid hands on Mr. Nolker and forced him out. The detective Mr. Nolker -had_ first ken to saw him and informed Mr. Smith of the occasion of the gentleman's visit. Then, it is said, Mr. Smith was anxious to apologize. Acting Chief Smith was seen by a .Post- Dispatch reporter in regard to the Nolker incident. # “Who says that this thing occurred’ asked Mr. Smith when the case was faid before him Rag Nolker is responsible for the state- ment Well. then he states that which is not true,” said the acting chief of detectives. “I did eee a’ man in the room adjoining here this morning.

TO BE DIGNIFIED. Wives and Daughters of the Members in the Gallery No Restraint Upon the Hilarity. There was fun and hilarity of several different kinds on the floor of the Mer- chants’ Exchange Saturday morning. The annual New Year's celebration was not planned that way, but it so turned out, It was intended that there should be en- tertainment devised with the special pur- pose of pleasing the wives and daughters of the members. The design was admirably carried out, but the men and the boys who had worked hard all year were not to be cheated out of their annual chance to have fun in their own way. And so it was that before the concert four footballs were produced and kicked around the hall and Tom Francis presented Mark Gautier, the orficial recorder, with a clock face attached to a log chain. While the music played the boys scrambled for dimes in the pit. There was a burlesque cakewalk led by big George Arnold, 6 feet 4 inc hes, and lit- tle Billy Hickman, 5 feet nothing. Fol- lowing them were prominent traders wear- ing messenger’s caps and broad smiles. All of this delighted the great crowd in the gallery and did not interfere with the ladies’ enjoyment of the concert. COTTON SEED MILL FIRE Consumers Oil Company’s Plant at Lit- tle Rock Damaged and 200 Men Out of Work. Special to the Post-Dispatch. LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Dec. 3:—Three large seed houses and one of the meal houses of the Consumer’s Oil Co.’s mill, together with their contents, consisting of 20 tons of meal and about 3000 tons of seed, were destroyed by fire at an early hour this morning. The total loss is $89,- 000. There was no insurance on the meal and seed, The Dbufldings, which were damaged to the extent of $20,000, were insured for $4,- 000. The main building, which contains all the machinery, was on y slightly injured. The Consumer's Oil Co. is composed of Chicago capitalists and the main office is in that city.

FIRST OFFERS WERE REJECTED AND OTHERS RECEIVED. Final Bid of a Chicago Firm Was Ac- cepted by the Creditors Present and the Firm Will Be Notified. The creditors of the Ryan & Clarkson Dry Goods Co. met William B. Thompson, the assignee, at the company’s establish- ment, Broadway and Washington avenue, Saturday morning. After ‘a statement of the condition of the firm, the trustee received bids for the stock. This precipitated a lively discus- sion, which finally ended in the rejection of all offers and a call for new bids. These were opened at noon. Representatives from the leading houses in St. Louis and Mr. Leah of Marshall Field Dry Goods Co., Chicago, were pres- ent and made a critical examination of the stock. They pronounced it well § se- lected and in every way desirable. This stiffened up the bidding, and it is probable that the creditors will receive over 80 cents ton the dollar, if not dollar for dollar. The assignment is considered one of the most honorable that has occurred in St. Louis in many years and enhances the business integrity of the firm’s members. The reoprt of the assignee showed the foliowing: Total sales from Feb. 1, 1899, to Dec 16,-when the doers were closed Gross profit (Or 18.8 per cent.) Liabilities $826,696 16 63,303 46 ASS Ss.

The following committee’ was pelestedy” canvass the bids: Jonathan Rice of Rice, Stix & Co., Mr. Leah, representing Mar- | shall Field, ‘and Thomas McKittrick. The trustee announced that the inventory pas Te nen g on first cost, freight not in- clu of the William Barr. Dry Goods Co. be accepted, provided the inventory should rove correct. Joseph Franklin, vice-pres- dent of the William Barr Dry Goods Co. suprised all by withdrawing his firm’s bid and asking its return. The trustee then asked for more bids. Th‘s was strongly combated by those who had submitted offers. D. Crawford in- creased his bid from 71 to 74 per cent. Mr. Leah said he would accept the inventory as announced by the trustee and pay §&l per cent for the stock. Charles Nugent protested that this was irregular and unjust and insisted on his bid of 72 per cent being the highest and asked its acceptance, At the end of an hour's discussion the trustee announced that he would reject all bids and receive new ones at 12:30 p. m. The Ryan & Clarkson stock of merchan- dise was bought at trustee’s sale at noon by Marshall Field & Co. of Chicago, on bid of 81 per cent of the inventory of $104, - 331.55 cash. The Chicago firm was the only Bidder. Mr. William B. Thompson said he would notify the members of the firm of Ryan & Clarkson by mai, immediately, of the re- sult of the sale. Until he obtains a reply it is not definitely known whether the bid will be accepted, About 50 creditors of the retiring firm gathered on the fourth floor of the Ryan & Clarkson Building at 12:45 o’clock. The hour announced for the receival of bids for the etock of goods, It was a small percentage of the creditors. When Trustee Thompson tossed a paper on the table in the center of the room and called for bids, he remarked: “I have one bid already; are there others?’ Mr. Stix of the Grand Leader asked Mr. Thompson if it was a fact that Marshall A a & Co. of Chicago had forwarded a y1¢ “They have,” was the trustee's quick re- og ty , s it sl per cent of the inventory?” - quired Mr. Stix. me Ae “IT don’t know,” said Trustee Thompson. “Are there other bids?’ he asked. Then there was a painful silence. “There being no other bids, I will read the one on hand,” said the trustee, Then the bid of Marshall Field & Co.. forwarded by Charles C. Lay, was read. It stated that the Chicago firm would pay $87,508.55 for the stock, the sale to be con- firmed or rejected in the usual form. On behalf of the creditors Mr. McKit- rick’s motion to accept the bid prevailed unanimously. Mr. Thompson said the sale included nothing but the stock of merchandise, the fixtures, etc., remaining on hand. “Mr. Louls B. Ely, representing the Ely estate, which owns the building, informs me that there will be no difficulty in ar- ranging for the unexpired lease of Ryan & Clarkson on the premises.” Trustee Thompson then called for an ex- pression from the members of the firm of yan & Clarkson as to whether the Chicago bid would be accepted, but there was no response. He said he would inform the firm in an official way immediately by mail. Mr. Burns asked if there wasn't a ssi- bility that the inventory might be Incor- rect. ‘"The purchaser is supposed to take that risk,’’ said the trustee, “‘but I am of the opinion that the codebase Of $104,331.55 is as correct as can be mad EXPOSITION COMPANY FAILURE Proceedings Brought by Laborers Re- sults in the Greater American Ex- position Co.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Dec. 30.—Gov. Stephens at noon to-day decided not to call a special session of the Missouri Legisla- ture. The Governor issues a statement assign- ing his reasons for this conclusion. In it, he says that he has received replies to his letter of inquiry from 100 Representatives and 2 Senators, all of these, with two ex- ceptions favor the enactment of a law taxing franchises. Thirty-five Representatives and five Sen- ators favor an extga session and 27 Repre- sentatives and 13 Senators oppose it. But a large majority of the legislators heard from are of opinion that no law could be eMacted at an extra session. For this reason, the Governor says, he has con- cluded not to call the Legislature together. in their replies to the Gov- ernor, were largely of the opinion that a franchise law could be passed at the next session, This sentiment, the Governor 6ays, also influenced him in this decision not to assemble the Legislature in extra session.

This ‘is the coldest day of the ason as far as it has progressed. Deputy Weather Observer Spencer believes the thermometer has touched the lowest point for this spell, next 24 hours it will of the tube. Mr. Spencer does not like to deal in prob- abilities or possibilities, so his prediction Saturday is for continued fair and cold weather. If warmer weather comes it will be the result of the ‘“‘low’’ which has been hovering for several days over the Southwest. This has shown considerable energy since Fri- day, while the “high’ over the central North geeems to have done its worst. This is shown by the facts that the temperature along the northern shore of the great lakes has risen from degrees bélow zero Fri- day to 20 degrees below Saturday. If the Sout reoeat low gets the upper hand, Mr. Spencer says we will have snow flur- ries turday night and wow! But this is only a bare probability, and Mr. Spencer will not etand for it as a prediction. THE WEATHER INDICATIONS.

Many hundreds of Burghers the British and have either bribed the’ field cornets (Boer recruiting officers) to omit them from the commando lists or are fighting under compulsion. For both these classes the continuance of the re- publics will be a terrible blow. As long as the independent flags float at Pretoria it is a national center of Dutch republican sentiment, producing ceaseless unrest. The cost of the war to the British will be enormous, but they will get their money's worth. The Boers are prepared to lose inde- pendence if defeated. They recognize the terms of the quarrel and said to me; “If we win we will spit you out of South Africa; if you win you will swallow fy My respect for the &ghting Burghers makes it very painful for me to contem- plate injuring their pride of race, but no other solution of the South African problem is practical or permanent than for Britain either to absorb the two re- publics or totaily abandon the colonies.

TRANSPORT SURGEON REPORTS. SICKNESS GENERAL TWO DAYS OUT OF HONOLULU. Doctor Says ‘“‘The Meat Was Not Fit for Dogs to Eat” and It Was Thrown Overboard After Arrival in Manila. Special to the Post-Dispatch. | SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 3.—One of the most startling stories in connection with the transport system between this port and Manila came to light to-day. Practically the entire Thirty-fifth Reg!i- ment,.

They re- veal the existence of widespread sentiment in this country that the hostilities ought not to proceed. The President is urged by the signers to take such action as will pro t an armistice and lead to the sub- mission of the issues between Great Brit- ain’ and the Transvaal to arditration. The depo are not definite as to the methods through which it shall be brought about, but they are importunate in the expression of a desire that the war shall be ended - without further sacrifice of life. “The volume of this prayer is such that it been given serious consideration by the esident. It has been discussesd by the Cabinet. There has been no difference of opinion as to the position and course vernment should take. The only question considered has been whether Rothe official and formal utterance should de in answer to the petitioners. “The President and his advisers talked over the matter thoroughly when the war and when there was the first rush petitions eg 3 that this government @ something to bring avout arbitration. was beyond doubt that a very large number of good citizens earnestly desired action. How to acknowledge the receipt of the petitions and to answer them was earefully discussed at the White House. Administration does not wish the signers to feel that their request has been ignored. The President is willing it should be known that he shares earnestly in the wish that the war might be brought to an end. At the same time, there does not appear to be any action this Government can take in the direction desired by so many citizens. The position of this Government remains just what it was when the message was sent to Congress. It is thought best, as ex- plained, that the country be reminded of the explanation of this Government’s at- titude as set forth in the message. Having in mind the petitions of citizens, the Presi- dent said to Congress: “This Government has maintained an at- titude of nevtrality in the unfortunate contest between Great Britain and the Boer States’of Africa. We have remained faith- ful to the precept of avoiding entangling alliances as to affairs not of our direct con- cern.”’ ‘Here follows what may be regarded as the direct answer to the petitions: “Had circumstances suggested that the parties to the quarrel would have welcomed any kindly expression of the hope of the American people that war might be avert- ed, good offices would have been gladly ten- dered.”’ The message proceeded: “The United States representative at Pre- toria was early instructed to see that all neutral American interests be respected by the combatants. This has been an easy task, in view of the positive declarations of both British and Boer authorities that the personal and property rights of our citizens should be observed. Upon the with- drawal of the British agent from Pre- toria the United States Consul was author- ized, upon the request of the British Gov- ernment, and with the assent of the South African and Orange Free State Govern- ments, to exercise the customary good of- fices of a neutral for the care of British in- terests. In the discharge of this function I. am happy to say that abundant oppor- tunity has been afforded to show the impar- tiality of this Government toward both the combatants.”’ Jt is stated that the members of the Cab- inet are a unit in supporting the President in his decision to decline to offer mediation.

MONEY IN A SATCHET DELIA BUESCHER WAS FAR FROM BEING A PAUPER PATIENT. SAVED HER WAGES FOR YEARS. Checks for Nearly $800 Found After She Had Passed Away at the City Hospital. When Delia Buescher went to the City Hospital to be cared for at the expense of the city she carried with her a fortune. Those who knew her best did not dream that the girl had a considerable store of money. To them she was simply a hard-working Lieutenant Oswald. The fire is supposed to have originated on the second floor, in the work room of Woo!l- ley & Co., wholesale woolens, at 220 and 222 Monroe street, and fanned by a fierce northwest wind spread so rapidiw that when the first fire companies arrived on the scene the whole south end of the building was a mass of flames. A second and then a third alarm was sent in, ‘but in spite of the tons of water thrown into the burning buildings by 38 engines and two fire tugs, the wind and the bitter cold so hindered the firemen that for a time the entire wholesale district was in danger. The flames quickly communicated to the building at 216 and 218 Monroe street, gradually spreading east to 212 and 214 Monroe, where its progress was finally checked. Immense brands were carried as far as Twelfth street, and the firemen were kept busy extinguishing small fires on the roofs of surrounding buildings. The principal losses are: Building at 220-222 Monroe street, loss $225,000; Edwards, Stanwood & Co., suc- cessors to Phelps, Dodge & Palmer. boots and shoe:, third and sixth floors, loss $200,- 000; Woolley & Co., first and second floors, woolen goods, loss $135,000: Schwartz & Kline, shirts, fourth floor, less $6000; John Harper. cloak manufacturer, fifth floor. loss $5000; building at 216-218 Monroe street, occupied by J.

The building at 217 Fifth avenue was damaged $ Besides these there were several] mit nor losses, caused by smoke and water. Figures on the insurance are not as yet obtainable, but it is probable that most of the losses are well covered. The escape from death of Capts. O’Con- nor, Evans and Carey and Firemen Pad- den, O’Hara and three others, who es- caped injury, was little short of miracu- lous. All of the men were working on the roof of the bullding at 216-218 Monroe street, and as the fire crept closer to the west side of the structure the men were gradutJly driven toward the middle of the roof. Sud- deniy the east wall of the building adjoin- ing fell with a terrific crash. An immense mass Of brick and timbers crushed into the roof where Cant. O’Connor and his men were at work. The roof tore away from the sides and fell with a crash to. the floor beneath, carrying Pipemen O'Hara and Padden down in the debris and leaving the others on the frail broken edge of the roof high above the flames. Capt. O’Connor. Lieut. Callahan and Pipemen Fountain and Horgan finally succeeded in rescuing the two unfortunate pipemen, and, crawling along the shaking walls, they made their way to a fire escape and descended safely to the ground. After the fire had been raging about an hour and a half the wal's began falling and several firemen were more or less injured, James Woolley go se- riously that he was taken to the hospital. he fire was one of the worst the fire de- partment has had to contend with in years. The cold was intense, the thermometer be- ing several degrees below zero, and a num- ber of firemen were severely frostbitten.

But can Eng- er adopt it? With an empire to care for full of vulnerable spots can she concentrate 250,000 men in one place without exposing herself to attack and defeat in others? Says Bacteriologist Jordan of the Chicago University: “It may be taken as axiomatic that the less the amount of sewage that goes into a water supply the less typhoid fever there will be in the community served by. that supply.” Could any stronger argument be offered against the con- J nag sores gg of St. Louis’ water supply by Chicago’ s ian oe able ? ———— © = =" == = MONEY OR FREEDOM. The trust monopolists are afraid of publicity. Attorney-General Monnett of Ohio was to lecture before the People’s Institute, Cooper Union, New York, on trusts. The invitation, enthusiastically extended, was suddenly can- celed with apologies. The Standard Oil Co. had recently become financially in- terested in the People’s Institute and the manager thought it unwise to risk the loss of the $500,000 said to be the amount of the Rockefeller subscription. The People’s Institute has been a place where public ques- tions could be discussed with perfect freedom. Men spoke their minds from that platform without fear or favor and their words carried weight. How much influence will the institute have .now? The Standard people wanted to “promote education among the masses.’”” That was the motive of their subscription. What kind of education can the masses expect if financial consid- erations prevent a hearing for all sides of controverted ques- tions? What is to be thought of the purposes of men who try to suppress free speech by sinister subscriptions of money to institutions of popular education? In making their money gifts conditional upon the control of speech and pen the rtrusts make the strongest possible argument against them- selves, Gov. Tanner is still explaining why he signed a bill to rob the people of Chicago of their streets. It is never a good thing for a Governor to approve the work of a corrupt Leg- islature. He is elected to veto boodle legislation, and when he fails to do it he is very likely to be reminded of the omission for the rest of his life. = = If Great Britain cuts off the transportation of food to the Transvaal she can hardly expect that British prisoners in the -hands of the Dutch wiil be well fed. The Cenfederates of our civil war had not enough food for their own soldiers, and Union prisoners therefore suffered, It is a kind of his- tory that repeats itself. The Common: Council of Boston has soniientuniene Uncle Paul Kruger and expresses the hope that the war will end with a complete victory for the Boers. It. would be well if other American cities were to speak up in this way. They need not refer to our own folly in the Philippines. a> 2 '-—- The fiub-dub about the Filipinos being greatly encouraged by American sentiment against the unrighteous war now in progress is uttered chiefly to draw attention from the stupid- ity of the management of the war in the island. It is cuckoo talk and is put out to offset the death list. The Washington Post writes a comforting article to show that those peovle who are advertising for situations are not out of employment, but only seeking a change of work. This is pleasing optimism, and perhaps there is some truth in it. hp hip Lip rr The spectacle of the Administration aiding a pet bank in dodging city taxes is quite as humiliating as anything that has occurred during Mr. McKinley’s very Singular manage- ment of the country’s affairs. A tremendous popular pressure will have to. be brought upon the present Congress if we are to have anything like honest legislation. It is hardly more than a mere machine of the Administration. p>. i te The Administration will do all that it can to favor Great Britain in the matter of seizures of American vessels alleged to be carrying supplies to the struggling republics of South Africa. The bubonic plague may reach the United States through Honolulu. Should it do so, it will serve to very much freshen our interest in our Hawaiian annex. = = ™ POST-DISPATCH SNAP SHOTS. Yes, honesty pays—its debts. The Standard Oil monopoly is sorts. Don’t sit up until midnight of to-morrow to argue the new century question. The Philippine schools must have taught the young idea how to scoot. Great Britain is not so much our friend as to permit Amer- lean supplies to reach the Boers. Missouri has an abundance of the finest copper, Missourl policeman is not superior to all others, Russia and Great Britain are ardently courting the United States. We might be happy with both the dear charmers away. Many rabbit tracks have recently been seen within the city limits. Is Bunny coming to town to get the Philippine news? ‘It was Gen. Burnside, not Burnsides, that crossed the Rap- pahannock and lost 14,000 men. Burnsides were not general at that time. The Englishman sitting at home and studying war mapa, with no news to guide him, is not feeling kindly toward the stupid news censorship in South Africa. Our growing city of Joplin appears in a morning paper as “Japan.” The morning papers have frequently shown their lack of education in the geography of Missouri. The statement in a Republican organ that if there is a superfluous man on the payrolls of the city he ought to be dropped, comes rather late. Is the devil sick again?

THE BEHEMOTH WAS NOT FRESH. The waiter in a San Francisco grillroom will admit to nothing that he does not kee in stock. If it be a request for a slice o the moon he will say ‘Yes, sir,’’ and go to fetch it, returning with the information that unfortunately he is ‘‘just out.’’ Rob- ert Louis Stevenson one day was explain- ing this trait to a friend at dinner, and to illustrate it called the waiter. “A double order of broiled behemoth,” he said. ‘Yes, sir,’’ replied the waiter; “will you have it rare or well dene?’ “Well, done,” said Stevenson. Pretty ‘soon the waiter re- turned. “I am very sorry, but we are just out,’ ’ he reported. ‘‘What! no more behe- moth? asked the novelist, in feigned as- tonishment. The waiter lowered his voice.

Some of the beauties of a transfer sys- tem that don’t transfer came under my notice to-day and yesterday. This after- noon I boarded a Broadway car at Saiis- bury street. I rode a block before the conductor collected my fare. I then rode a half block further and asked for a trans- fer to Union Station. The conductor said he could not give me one as I had asked for it too late. I told him I had only ridden a block and a haif on the car. He said he knew that, but he could not give a transfer unless asked for the moment the fare is paid. Just think of it! Thirty seconds after paying my fare I was too late to get 4 transfer. Yesierday a boy got on a north bound Broadway car at Cass avenue and paid his fare at ullanphy street. He rode two blocks before asking for a Baden transfer. The conductor said he could not give him one as he had asked for it too late. The boy probably had to walk to Baden, as it was the only nickel he had. I think “this is an outrage and shows what street car monopolies will do when they eat tag A in their power. St. uis. Another Voice From “Hog Wallow.” To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch.

What! he going tc take over a big string? Jumpers. His 2-year- olds might be going bad over there on ac- count of the trip, the weather and the training they do; you never can tell. There’s some good horses over there among the native bred, and don’t overlook it. An American horse going over tere has got to be a weight-carrier and have something left to stand the climate.” Skeets Martin says Sir Walde Griffith has first call on his services next year. He won something like 48 firsts in 138 mounts. According to the New York Herald Sloan says that he never saw William Waldorf Astor in London, and never heard the rich Englishman's name mentioned. Sloan was anxious to hear the Jatest news of the Transvaal war. He said there would be practically no Christmas in Dngland this year—that evervbody who could get away Wanted to enlist for the war and there were no doubts among Englishmen of the final result. He does not oe ye, pene how- ever, that the Transyaal war will seriously interfere with the track, particularly if the army catches tts second breath and gives the Boers one or two lickings. Sam Demgett has returned to Chicago from New Orleans for the holidays. He will g0 back to the Crescent City about the middie of next month and ride there until the Eastern season opens at Washington. At New Orleans Thursday a carefully worded and exhaustive ruling handed down by the board of stewards, the suspension of Jockey Shepperd, A. J. Wallace, owner. and the horse George Lee was continued indefinitely. This amounts to ruling off and is the result of the races of George € on Dec. 9 and Dec. 12. Barney Schreiber, the popular St. Louis turfman, has several promising youngsters entered in the early stakes at San Fran- cisco. Among them are Sebastiana, by imp. Foul Shot-Parolee; Sofola, by Balgowan- Spozia; Shotaway, by.imp. Foul Shot-Ot- tawa; Sarner, by Kingston-Park Ridge; Mrs. Brunnell, by Kingston-Daisy Wood- ruff, and Kingstelle, by Kingston-Estelle. The two last named have been timed quar- ters as good as :24 and are regarded highly by turfmen who have seen them at morning exercise, Although Democrat is the public favorite for the Derby, the English turf critics, whose judgment is worth consideration, do not fancy the American, and pretty gen- erally agree that Forfarshire and Diamond Jubilee, the latter owned by the Prince of Wales. will prove better than Democrat in their 3-year-old form. Forfarshire’s defeat of Democrat at Kempton Park has strengthened his following. Democrat is a wear-and-tear gelding, easily trained and thoroughly sound, which is in his favor, as Forfarshire is an unusually big colt, hard to train and likely to go wrong at any time. He improved rapidly during the au- tumn, however, and should he train on will be a seen second choice. Sloan will ride Democrat in the Derby,’and as he knows his mount’s peculiarities, this wil] help es- ance uate confidence in victory for the TWO DAYS’ COURSING.

Mr. Williams is one .¢ the hard workers of the division, and uss appointment. will be satisfactory to all. In fact, an effort was made to have him November, but he declined at that ~ime. Behind the appointment ig e fittle story that tells how the L. A, W. is left to take care of itself in this State and how small the interest now is compared with the live- ly times in 1895-96, At a meeting of the division held in Oc- tober three gentlemen were nominated for the office of chief consul. These were E. W. Pattison, W. M,. Butler and Mark Fil- ley. None of them were present at the meeting, and after the ballots were printed all declined to run. Not one of them knew he was nominated until the ballots were issued. Mr. J. K. Werner of St. Joseph was nominated for vice-consul and was the only candidate. When the ballots were counted Mr. Pat- tison was found to have been eleceted, but he promptly sent another declination, and every one thought that Mr. Werner would be the chief, as the rules provide for the succession Of the vice-consul when there is a vacancy in the chief office. But Mr. Werner will hold no office. Last week one of the oldtime hustlers of the division received a letter from the na- tional secretary, Abbot Bassett, stating that Mr. Pattison had resigned, and that Mr. Werner, who was elected ‘ vice-consul, was no. longer a League member, and hence could hold no office. Mr. Bassett asked that the old leaders get together and pick some good man for appointment. This was done and Mr, Williams’ name has been for- warded to headquarters. Mr. Williams will assume charge as soon as his commission reaches him and he will then have the appointment of a vice-con- sul. P Mr. Williams’ assistant és Mr. Schneider, the new secretary-treasurer, and the 400 League members in this State will look to them to help the division out of the hole it has eunk into. ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL. Several Games Scheduled for Sunday Afternoon. There are several good games of associa- tion football scheduled for Sunday after- noon. In the big association the strength- ened C. B. €s. will do their level best to head off the onward rush of the West Pnds. Those teams play at Athletic Park, while out on the College campus the re- organized Shamrocks and Cycling Club come together. On Sunday. at Handlan’s Park, the Lib- ertys and Lindels will battle for suprem- 4 are the two best teams in League and the game Sun- ,to be the best of the season. pt. of the Libertys said that he saw jast Sunday’s game between the Lindelig and Nationals and realizes the strength of the Lindells 7 ee _-~ his team nok peor, every nig an opes to come out victorious. But whichever team wins, ey will know that they have been inaf game. Murphy will keep goal for the Lindells unday. § Jean Dale will be back in his old position Sunday, playing full back for the Libertys. Besides the game between the Lindells and ys there will be a game between the es and Nationals at the same park. President Gillespie and Secretary Kinsella are working hard in the interest of the as- sociation, and after the holidays they will nnounce some great games between the . Louis and outside association teams. ™M. Courtney of the Libertys proved to be @ good allround man. In the absence of Burns he played a nice game in the forward line. Devanny showed wp well in the half backs. In Devanny, ah one Saurbrunn, Courtney and McMahon the Libertys have taken &a~)} a bunch who play as good in the forward line as in the back division. Awitz played a fine game in the goal nday against the strong Thistles, not al- wing them to squeeze one through. eeniciinth ‘ 4 In Kelly, Burns, Coyle, Ficel and Walsh the Libertys have the fastest forward line in the League. GOOD-BY TO DAVIDSONS. Crack Skaters Make Their Last Ap- pearance Here on Saturday Night. The Davidsons, John and Fannie, cham- pion trick and fancy ekaters of the world, tll make their last appearance before a t. Louis audience at the Ice Palace Sat- urday night. The Davidsons have made many friends in St. Louis and hope to return again. John Davidson met and defeated Tommy Richardeon and Al Jones in a one-mile handicap race at the Ice Palace Friday night. Sones, as usual, fell on the last lap, but this time he looked as though he had the race cinched when the accident 0oc- curred. * Davidson gave a big handicap to his op- ponents, and had it not been that he was game to the core he would not have won, The l4-year-old boys’ championship race will be decided at the Ice Palace this after- noon. At least 12 youths are expected to enter. Madison Turf Exchange Reopens.

FRANKFORT, Ky., Dec. 30.—A sharp re- ply to the address recently issued by Goe- bel leaders hag been made by the Re- publicans, in which Democratic charges of fraud are replied to specifically. The ad- dress, which is signed by Gov. Taylor; Chairman Barnett, Senator de Boe, Con- gressman Pugh and others, defends Gov. Bradley in calling out troops, says the charge that tissue ballots were wsed is flimsy, as Hke ballots were used in Demo-. cratic counties; that the Democrate set the precedent in use of the injunction, and conc.udes by saying: “The charge of corruption at the hands of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad is only a repetition of a slander worn thread- bare in the late campaign, and even if true, which is denied, does not involve the Re- wblican party, and was more t oft the corruption fund collected by lainants from the sources namied eply charges that intimidation was ted to in “Louisville and says: “Whe Mayor of Louisville arrogated to himgelf the wer to issue a proclamation clan wae the people from assembli at he polls, in open defiance of the provisions of the constitution, and 2348 extra police were appointed and used to intimidate and browbeat the freemen of that city. On the afternoon precedéng the election 87 election officers, who had been appointed to repre- sent the Republican party, were summarily dismissed, and a Jike number nepemine in their places who copld be reli upon to favor the Democratic conspirators, The firemen were turned loose. too, and did assist the police in the intimidation of voters, and in this way at least 10,000 per- s0ns who would have voted the Republican ticket were so alarmed that they did not attend the election. In addttion, voters were intimidated and many similar frauds perpetrated in Covington, Lexington and other cities of the Commonwealth, caus- ing a loss of not less than 6000 votes to the Republican ticket. “In some of the counties actual force was employed and voters were driven from the polls, and with a few exceptions frauds were committed in all of them. Every bal- lot that even bore a finger print voted for the Republicans was thrown out in the count. It can not be doubted that at least 40,000 votes were lost to the Repub- lican party by these unlawful and out- rageous tactics. Large sums of money col- lected from Democratic officials, saloons, poolrooms, gambling houses, breweries and other sources in and out of the State, were used to corrupt the voters of the State. Voters were hired to refrain from voting, to mutilate their ballots, or to vote the Goebel ticket. ‘Whole precincts that gave Republican majorities were thrown out, and the Goebel Democratic: committees and candidates inaugurated a saturnaHa of crime, eruption and force.” HEARING POSTPONED. Kentucky Election Contests to Be Heard February 6. FRANKFORT, Ky., Dec, 30.—The hear- ing of all the contests for State officers has been postponed until Feb. 6 by the State Board of Election Commissioners. The postponement will result in giving the courts time to decide whether the Gov- ernor or the Commissioners have the right to fill vacancies. The Staie capital is filled up with legis- lative and political leaders. Blackburn's friends are claiming he will be elected to the United States Senate. In the estimate several Populist members are placed on both sides. WOLFSOHN USED TWO NAMES. Insurance Papers and Promissory Note Signed Arthur and Aaron. A special message to the Post-Dispatch from Los Angeles indicates that the Ar- thur Wolfsohn who went to school in St. Louis and the Aaron Wolfsohn who was supposed to have committed suicide, are identical. The dispatch corroborates etatement made here that both names were used in the insurance policy and on the note which was given the agent in payment for it. The note was signed Ar- thur Wolfson or Aaron Wolfsohn. A further investigation of school records shows that Arthur Wolfsohn attended the St. Louls Medical College for one term in -1896. ‘Mrs. O’Neill’s maiden name ig said to have been Maggie Elliott. She is the wom- an who identified the supposed body of Wolfsohn. This name does not appear on the records of any of the educational! inati- tutions which were attended by Wolfsohn, though she hae stated that she went to school with him in St. Louis. “WHY, MAMMA, I’M BENNIE.” When Mrs. Pulliam Identified Her Husband the Policeman Let Him Go. “Mamma, don’t you Know me? “I'm Bennie!l’’ But for this passionate exclama tion, made by Benjamin Pulliam of 479 Morgan street, Mr, Pulliam might have been marched to a police station and locked climb into a . Kane of the Tenth District happened along and captured Pulliam in the act of going through the window. The poticeman would not believe the latch- but he did ring the bell to give key story, the prisoner a chance to identify himeelf. A feminine voice above stairs anewered the bell. But the voice said the latchkey story was suspicious. It was then that Mr. Pulliam identified himself as Bennie.

More harm than good comes of it. A man had better take the remote chance of being robbed than to take the chance of shooting a fellowman under sudden provocation and regretting it all the days of his life.. A man is better off without a revolver. “I do not think that burglars go about in the guise of beggars in order to get in- formation about residences, or that beg- ars are confederates or spies for burglars. urglars and beggars are two distinct classes. The burglar disdains association with the beggar. I suppose burglars pick out houses they intend to enter but I do not think that they bother much about the arrangement of the house until they get inside. They know that people al- most always sleep on the second’ floor. After they get into the first floor is time enough for them to familiarize themselves with the arrangement. “My district has been almost entirely free of burglaries since I have been out here. I do not think there is more of it in other parts of the city than is usual at this time of year. There will be burglaries as long as the world.stands, and the most efficient police force in the world cannot revent them entirely. The most that can e done is to reduce them to a minimum. This can be done by the police and de- tectives being vigilant, and I think it & being done. , “To enable the police to more easily rid ordinance might be passed, but the present one, which contains the ‘first clause,’ would be effective if the judges would enforce it in a common sense way and not construe it too favorably to the crooks.” WATCH THE CELLAR DOOR. Capt. Gillaspy Points Out a Burglar’s Favorite Entrance. Capt. C. G. Gillaspy, commanding the Tenth District, bounded by Delmar and Lindell boulevards on ‘the -south, Sarah Street on the east, Natural Bridge road on the north and Union boulevard on the west, said: “Householders should be careful to muké their windows and doors secure when they leave the house during the day and when they retire at night. I would especially em- phasize the need of locking up well] ‘when the house ‘s left during the day. A great many burglaries are committed during the y On acount of carelessness in this respect. Burglars are always going about on the alert for an opening. They want no better opening than a house which has ben left insecurely locked during the ab- sence of the family in the daytime. Par- ticular attention should be paid to lock- ing outside cellar or basement doors. It is | 7 nu , “ ' ¢ * . Ky ee Ge ke eS ae aah Pape ee ee ee iva 5 Foe, "a7 .

Burglars are prowlers. They go along through an alley, and if they find an alley gate open they~go into the back yard. | Then if the coast is clear they may at- tempt to.get into the house. If the alley gate is closed the¥ pass on till they find one which is open. Thé same is true of side gates. If © burejer otteenote to get around to the back of a’ house through the pass- age at the side and finds the gate locked he will not chance waking up the people by breaking it open. “If a burglar is found in the house I do not advise that an attempt be made to take him prigonér. That is better than he deserves. .My advice is to shoot him and then call an ambulance and send him to the Dispengary or the Morgue. That is the best way to puta stop to burglary. “To avoid highwaymen, persons who are on the streets late at night should keep a sharp watch. When they come to the mouth of an alley they should make a de- tour, and if a suspicious-looking person is -met he should watched closely. Highwaymen are usually cowards, and if they see that they are watched they are not nearly so likely to attempt robbery. I were attacked by highwaymen should resist, with a weapon tf I had one, and, if IT had none, with anything I could get hold of. If I couldn’t get hold of ony eae I would pit my strength against e'rs. “As a police official I would not advise anybody to carry weapons, but as a citi- zen I will say that I would defend my- self with whatever’ I happened to have about me at the time.” VIEWS OF CAPT. PHILLIPS. He Thinks Burglar Alarms and Wateh Dogs Good Things. Capt. E. J. Phillips, commanding the Sixth District, bound«d by Cora street, Tay- lor avenue, Mississippi River, Bircher road and Humboldt and Bremen avenues, said: “Citizens should be more careful about locking their houses. The doors and win- dows should be made secure. I would ad- vise the use of buyglar alarms wherever !t is possible. A good watch dog is not @ bad thing to have around the house, and especiallv on the inside. “If a burglar should manage to get in despite all these precautionary measures and the occupants of the house should dis- cover him, -the householder should use his coolest Ne Br NE and be guided by circum- stances. t is a question in my mind whether it is prudent for a citizen to tackle a burglar at all. It is very much like-the case of the bull butting an engine—we ad- mire his courage, but condemn his judg- ment. Burglays as a rule are cowards, but unless you get somé advantage it is not an unwise thing to let them alone. “T have no apres remedy for a citizen attacked by a highwayman. When he has been ordered to stand and deliver, he should keep his wits about him, and when he sees a chance to get the drop on the robbers he should do it. Whether citizens should go armed depends on the locality through which they are to travel, and whether they have good reason to suspect an attack. If a man’s business took him into the slums or out in the suburban sec- tion it might be of some advantage to carry a revolver, . “I do not think beggars should Be re- fused food on the theory that they are spies for burglars. A ‘beggar never gets into the house anyhow, and if one should appear to be taking close notice of the lock on the door an observant person would detect it.’’ REGULAR HOURS AND SOBRIETY. Capt. Gaffney Thinks They Will Pre- vent Highway Robberies. Capt, Patrick Gaffney, commanding the Ninth District, comprising the territory lying between Twenty-second and Sarah streets and Washington avenue and Natural ‘Bridge road, said: VHouseholders should be careful and see that windows are securely fastened. If they were more careful in this par- ticular there would be fewer burglaries. But house-breakers will get in sometimes anyhow. In that case, the householder should kilij the burglar if he can. “Ninety per cent of the burglars and highway robbers are rank cowards, but a man never knows when he may :meet the 10 per cent who are not cowards, so don’t know but that it is always policy to give up. That is, {In the case of the average citizen. Men who are good judges of human nature can generally tell a coward, but the great trouble is that most men lose their presence of mind when confronted by a robber. The way to prevent highway robberies is, keep sober and keep regular hours. A man is pretty safe anywhere if he will do that. & common thing when leaving the house to lock the door leading trom the first floor down into the cellar and leave the outside | cellar door unlocked. Once a burglar is in the cellar it is no trick for him, knowing that nobody is at home, to break open the door leading into the house, He can then go through the premises at his leisure. He need only watch for the return of the peo- le. When they come in at one entrance, e can slip out at another. It is my experience that a great many burglaries are due to the carelessness of householders. They cannot expect the po- lice to protect them éntirely from the ef- fects of their own negligence. If they will do their part the police will do theirs. “The more securely a house is locked, the less likelihood is there of it being entered by burglars. Burglars are not likely to break into‘ a house if they cannot do so without making a lot of noise. They will pass on to some other house which is not so securely lecked and which they can enter with less risk. If the rule was to lock houses securely, burglary would not be such a profitable. occupation, and it would substantially decrease. I have not much | faith in burglar alarms. Most burglars know how to prevent alarms from xiving waruin ne even id SS yd are not inter- | ead w ey generally do not wurk whet they are heeded. : : “My advice to a man who awakes and finds a burglar in his house is to shoot him if he can get the eg first. If the burglar is in the room ard gets the drop first, my advice to the householder is to lie still in bed. If I were ewakened by a‘ burglar in the house and he had not ‘en- tered my room, ‘I would take my revolver from under tny pillow, extinguish the light. and, taking an advantageous posit! lie in wait until the burglar came in s and then shoot nim. “A timid man or a’ muav not sure of his fim might kick a chair over to alarm the burglar and cause him to leave the house and then shoot at him as he was running away. “I would give substantially the same ad- vice in reference to ywaymen, Shoot | him if you can get the drop first and submit if he gets the drop. A man bas a right to defend his life and property when he is peaceably walkin I hold that he has a volver with waich to is passing along a lonely street he shoul carry the revolver in his outside coat pock- et and have his hand on it.

Beggars should not be turned away On the theory that they may be spies for burglars, Beggars do not act in that capacity.’’ BEWARE OF THE BEGGARS. Capt. Boyd Says They Should Be Watched After Dark. Capt. Sam Boyd, commanding the First District, bounded by the Mississippi River, Sharp avenue, the River des Peres and Osceola street, said:. “The State law gives every cilizen the right to carry a revolver. This authority may be abused, and when it is the offender is arrested on the charge of carrying con- cealed weapons. I don't believe that any save a responsible person should have a revolver in his possession, and certainly not unless he is tamillar with its use. ‘“['nder proper conditions the citizen should go armed. If attacked or even or- up his hands he would be justified in killing the thug. “tf a burglar entered my house I would not hesitate to do him all the injury that lay in my power, But there is an important fact to be considered, If a housebreaker or a footpad has what we call the ‘drop’ on you, that is, if he takes you unawares, leave him alone. In this, as in other situ- ations, discretion is the better part of Valor. “Lock up the house and put your valua- bles away before retiring. The chronic beggar is a thief at heart, He will re-+ céive alms and then perhaps walking through the yard pick up a. shovel or any- thing he can lay his hands on. I have ordered my men to arrest beggars. Never give to a beggar coming to your house True, there aré many deserv- but their. number is not so ‘Tinder the old ordinance which was de- clared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court we «ould prosecute persons in the police courts for petty pilfering, That and the eighth c'ause in the vagrancy act, which made « an offense ‘to assoplate with —_--—-— >> BURGLARS SHOULD BE KILLED. Capt. Lorenz Schroeder Advises ‘Get- ting the Drop” on Them. Capt, Lorenz H. Schroeder, commanding the Second: District, bounded by the river, Compton avenue, Osceola street and Chip- pewa ‘street, said: - “''fhere is no particular caution I can guggest which the householder should take people who come when we least a by don't i by’ bureler } ae . pean | celery. because thieves are & are ar ey at oy t one. | Rs, - erer — re due to + hve Me ae instance, a wee — te Is left open, which.ma usebreaket. doors cost.

Suspicious Persons, Says Capt. Reyn- olds, Should Be Tested. Capt. Peter Reynolds, commanding the Central District, bounded by the MiseissipP! River, Jefferson, Chouteau and Washing- ton avenues, said: hich ‘*T have carried a revolver 27 years, W “I is the length of my service on the St, Lou's Police Department, and I have had occa- hsion to use it but once. I have walked beats in tough localities, too, but I have foun that a person can, as a rule, accomplish more with thugs or thieves without a re- volver than with one. ' “A highwayman doesn’t announce his approach, and en he cries, “Throw up your hands!’ he generally means what he says. He is prepared usually to carry out his intentions at all hazards. “The house should be kept under lock and key at night and a thorough exemina- tion of the doors and windows made before the occupants retire. ‘“Reggars, we must remember, are hu- man beings, and should be accorded some charity. At the same time I would not give them food if they came to*fhy house at night, and under no circumstances would I allow them a night’s lodging. They should be made to do work about the house when they get anything to eat. That will prove a test of the sincerity of their ap- peal for aid. ; “IT do not believe any citizen, unless he has knowledge that his life is endangered. should go armed. To édvise this would mean the reckiess use of firearms, There is no necessity to my mind for persons carrying revolvers, becayse many would use them on slight provocation. “Robbers usually overate in pairs, When they stop you on the street one gener- ally stands in the rear while the second covers you with his revolver. If caught in such a dilemma I don’t see what one could do wisely but surrender.”’ Don’t Miss It. ‘You're Just the Same as Ever to Me,” a new song by Albert F.

Sad Story Told by the Entry on the City Hospital Records. John Ruyel was going home from the City Hospital to ‘his relatives in Ohio Sat- urday morning, but he received a silent summons and went elsewhere. He died just three hours before the time set for the beginning of his homeward journey. On the City Hospital record there is an entry which originally read “Cause of dis- charge—request of his sister.’’ The jatter ortion of this entry has been erased and discharge— t now reads: ‘Cause of death.’’ Rayel was taken to the City Hospital with malaria three months ago. Several daya ago his sister notified the hospital authorities that she would remove him and take him to his home in Ohio Satur- My Hair Doesnt Turn Gray “IT have used Ayer’s Hair Vigor for over thirty years and can testify to its wonderful merits.

If it does, and you dont quite like it, all you to do is to ose Ayer's Hair Vigor. There is this peculiar thing about our Hair Vigor: it's a hair food, not a dye.
