She has just completed a legal battle for her rights in the courts, being beaten in the Bt. ‘Louis Circuit Court, but triumphing when ithe case was taken to the Court of Ap- | peals.

Oarsman, Missing. TT FAMOUS ALONG THE RIVER. RECEIVED AN INJURY FIFTEEN YEARS AGO. a & Disappeared From His Home at Ches- ter, Ill., and His Brother in St. Louis Is Searching for Him. A blow on the skull 15 years ago has sent Horace G. Barber, champion swimmer and oarsman of Chester, Ill, wandering, wth- out his reason and his pockets full of mon- ey, somewhere in this broad land. Frank Barber of Chester is in St. Louis searching for the lost brother. He called at the morgue and the City Hospital Saturday morning, but found no trace of the missing man. Horace Barber was last seen two days after he disappeared from Chester. An ac- quaintarce at Coulterville, Lll., saw him purchasing a ticket at that point for St. Louis. He did not accost Barber, but no- ticed that the man seemed to be laboring under suppressed emotions. Barber's eyts were flashing wildly and his other actions were so peculiar as to hold the attention of the person who afterward notified Frank Barber of the chance meet- ing and the direction his brother had taken. Horace Barber has not been seen ip Ches- ter since Aug. 12, the date of his disappear- ance. The family, which is in moderate cir- cumstances. has offered rewards for his re- covery, but beyond the information ob- tained ‘tn the clew from Coulterville, IIL, nothing has been heard of him. Prank Barber told the Post-Dispatch that the blov@hise brother had recetved on the head was a terrific one and fractured his skull, which was trephined. The brother said he did not wish to tell how the blow was received. It left his eyes in a state of semi-paralysis, which caused constant ak raga Frequently he dis- layed aberration, but in no serious degree. he family te convinced that the old wound has asserted some influence on the brain, causing the malady that is responsible for his condition.

His hair is of the same hue. The first two fingers of the left hand have been amputated near the knuckle anée there isa gy toy scar over the right eye and near the hair, the result of the wound on his head.

But he denied her request and also refused to prevent Sweeney from being locked up, while Miss Becklen went to a friend to borrow money to pay the fine. Miss Becklen went over to the cage. She held Sweeney's hand and assured m she would get the money to pay his fine. ‘Bear up, bravely, Johnnie, and don't let them lock you up,’ she said in parting.

RUMORED THAT OPERATORS HAVE AGREEMENT TO CLOSE. Men Complain of 300 Per Cent Profit on Powder, Unfair Docking for Trash, and the Arbitrary Weight of Ton. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Sept. 8—The na- tional board of the United "Mine Workers resumed its secret session at 8:30 o'clock today. Before the meeting the board mem- bers said that the situation had not changed during the night. No disposition has been manifested by the operators to meet any of ‘the demands made by the miners through |eithgr the national officers or the district officers in the anthracite region. The presidents of districts No. 1, 7 and 9 all anthracite—are at Hazleton, Pa., the center of the field, and, so far as is known in Indianapolis, no answer to the appeal issued last night by these three presidents— Thomas D. Nichols, John Fahy and Thomas Duffey—has been made by the operators. The utmost -secrecy attended the board meeting to-day. Before noon President Mitchell said: ‘“‘Nothing has been done. No strike order has been issued: It is highly probable that there will be no statement 1s- sued by cur board before this evening. The situation remains as it was last night. The fact that the board met one hour and a half earlier than # did yesterday morning is taken as an indication that grave prob- lems are to be solved to-day. The great strike order of 1897, which called out 110,- 000 miners, was issued on Sunday, July 4. It seems probable if the great anthracite strike is ordered the order will go into effect late Satirday night or Sunday morning. The board members ridicule the stories in circulation that a looby of business men from the East has been in Indianapolis, trying to prevent a strike order. Nobody has called on the board for such a purpgse. . WAITING FOR THE SIGNAL The Arbitration Offer Has Been Re- jected and Miners Are Ready -to Strike. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WILKESBARRE, Pa., Sept. 8.—It is ex- pected that all the 150,000 anthracite union mine workers will be ordered on strike to- day from the headuagqrters of the United Mine Workers in Indianapolis. The mine workers made a last effort to avert a strike by issuing a statement agree- ing to submit the case to honest arbitra- tion, but the offer only places the union on record, but accomplishes no other good. Miners are convinced that the only hope for an improvement in their condition is to strike. A rumor has gained general circulation that if a strike is declared by the national executive board all the operators in the region will close their collieries down for an indefinite period on Sunday night. Op- erators and superintendents profess ignor- ance of the alleged general understanding. Leaders are now working hard to get the miners together, Mass meetings will be held to-night and @n Sunday throughout the district. Minera will be exhorted to strike on Monday and.to be guided by the orders of the union offigjals. Reports from all over the region show in- creased fervor. In the Shamokin district, Mother Mary Jones is keeping up the en- hunting in the | hard at work. thusiasm of the men. At Hazleton district Presidents Fahey, Nichols and Duffy are Wyoming and Lackawanna districts are strong enough to look out for themselves. Monday will tell how well the work of the union officials has n done. The miners say they are compelled to buy from the operators powder at $2.75 a keg which others will sell for 90 cents a keg. They also assert that unfair and arbitrary docking is done for trash in the cars. In some districts,’ they assert, the operators have fixed upon pounds as the true |weight of a ton of coal. On the powder question the operators say | that the rate of wages was fixed on a basis of powder costing the miners $2.75 a keg. To. sell for less is —— to an increase in wages. Had powder gone up in price the miners would have expected to be charged | the same old price.

HAZLETON, Pa., SBept. 8&—Efforts are still being made here to bring about a set- tlement of the impending strike. John Fa- hey and Thomas Duffy, members of the ex- ecutive board of the three anthracite min- ing districts, are in conferénce behind closd dvors with Father Phijips, but they have nothing to give out forpublication. , Father Maloy of Audendried and General Superinterdent Richards and Division Had- esty of the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Coal Co. he!d a four hours’ consultation this morning, but refused absolutel to say what had heen done. It is surmised, how- ever, that the conference related to the set- tlement of any trouble which may arise at the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Co.'s collieries at Audenrted and Honeybrook. It was learned later that Father Maloy the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre with Man- ed upon the United Mine Workers, but Gene ager Richards refused to accept any such yroposal. The company will deal only with ts own men. The United Mine orkers are said tu be well organized at the coi- lierles controlled by this company. The re- fusal of the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre (Co. to recogrize the mine workers, with whose committee the officials conferred frequentiy during the strike here three years ago, and through whom the trouble at Audenried and Honeybrook was settied, is taken as an indicotion that the operators are now ee mate to oppose the union to the bit- er end.

This noti- fication is given because of the great com- mercial interests held by American citi- zens in Amoy and comes at a curiously un- pleasant moment, just when all energy is bent towards peace.

The tramp house was objected to as an undesirable neighbor. A meeting of the property owners In the neighborhood selected by Mr. Kretschmar for the location of his charred structure was held at the real estate exchange. H. L. Cornet was chairman of the meeting and Sidney Schiele was secretary. Among others present were James Cox, Moses N, 'a man hunt. They were after two big ne- ' groes who committed a fiendish crime late in the aftern at the farm of William Riggs, a mile n h of Godfrey. Riggs was out&n a cornfield Friday after- noon when two negroes walked into the corn. They appeared to be laborers, and asked Riggs if he had anything they could do. He replied that he had nothing, One of them then asked him if he had any money, and almost before Riggs realized that his visitors were desperadoes they were upon him. He struck one blow with his corn knife, but it fell upon an arm of one of his assailants. Riggs is 30 years of age, slight and a crip- ple in his right"leg. He went down before i which originally stood on i near porary position in their. midst. The halted house is an eight-room frame, King’s highway, the Suburban tracks.

All the houses in the neighborhood are built of brick or stone. Mr.Kretschmar says he has a permit from the mayor to remove the house. “My house, when rebuilt, is going to be a hand- some residence, and I expect to occupy it myself. I had no photograph of it before it was burned. In a book I found a pic- ture that looked very much like my house. I liked the design, and I intend to re- build my residence on that plan.

They have a married sister, who is the wife of Rev. Olin W. Rose of Sabula, lo. Mr. and Mrs. Rose have been at the farm several weeks making a visit, and they were there Friday afternoon. An hour after the assault upon Riggs his brother-in-law passed along the edge of the corn fleld and heard groans in the corn. He went in, found Riggs and heard his story. From that moment the Rev. Rose has been bereft of all moderation and gentleness. He is vengeance incarnate and proffering no quarter. He took his brother-in-law to the house and hurriedly brought a physician. Then he gave the alarm in the neighborhood and organized a posse of men. He rode to Alton, saw that descriptions of the men wanted were wired to the towns around, and begged of Chief of Police Volbracht that the negroes be turned over to-him and his posse if caught by the Alton police. v.

NEW CHINESE PROPOSITION President Formulating a Plan for tlie Final Settlement of the Troubles There. WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.—It is stated semif-officially that President McKinley, in seeking a middle ground which may be pur- sued by the allied powers in China, finds it necessary, not only to urge Russia to recede from its position, but to suggest a definite course for peace negotiations with the Manchu government. Important developments are expected as soon as the President can bring about an understand- ing, and none of the correspondence to- ward that end will be published until it can be announced that Russia has agreed to leave her quota of troops in the imperial city. A garrison is necessary there for the maintenance of order, and the imperial family and Chinese viceroys will feel safer with such protection in returning to nego- tiate for peace. As Russia is the only nation which has declared an intention to withdraw its min- ister and troops from Pekin, the efforts of the President would seem to be directed to- ward securing a’ modification of Russia’s intentions, which France now appears to be ready to follow. ° The suggestion of keeping a garrison in Pekin of numbers to be determined by the the City: | are not of Cleve- ' morgue keeper ot ' disappearance of Crowell the | : Hie is thofight to have strayed away while nic in Cleveland, June 17 of this vear. commanders of the allied troops points the | way, it is believed, for reconciling the wide- ly divergent views of Russia and Germany.

THE SEASON OF BARBECUES a el The season of barbecues has arrived, and if the weather is anyways cool it will soon be onened in good style. But it isn’t every one who knows how to conduct one, so the Sunday Post-Dispatch has gone to the trouble of getting up a perfect recipe by men who have had lots of experience. Barbecued beef is excellent, and it costs a good bit to provide it. It would seem that nothing could be better, and yet in the Sunday Post-Dispatch Prof. W. O. Atwater will show that the ‘poor have better food than the rich. : Speaking of food suggests appetites and appetites suggest outdoor resorts.

The original trouble occurred Feb. 20, 1899. It was on Sunday morning. Mr. Henshaw, who is a miner, was not at home, and his wife was alone in her apartments, where she still resides, at 3625 Morgan Ford road. Hague and his wife resided in the same house, which is owned by Jacob Weinrich, an employe of the Christy Fire ¢ lay Co., who lives on the adjoiniug property. Ex- actly what happened that morning all the neighbors say they forget. Mrs. Henshaw will not describe the incident at length. “He came upstairs and insulted me, she declared to the ‘Post-Dispatch Saturday. “That is all I have to say.” Ei “We made him move right after that, said a member of the Weinrich family. Hague moved to 3664 Olive, but he has now left there and is reported to reside on Arse- nal street near King’s highway. But Mr. Henshaw was not satisfied with having Hague move. He thought the best plan to punish Hague for’ his alleged mis- conduct was to prefer charges against him before the local branch of the Engineers Assoctation, to which he belonged, he being the engineer at the St. Louis Club, Hen- shaw figured that no publicity would attach to this proceeding. And nothing was said of the opeee out- side of the immediate neighborhood for a long time. Then, as the neighbors#had near- ly forgotten, the incident became a cause celebre in engineers’ circles, and finally be- came the subject of spirited debate at the national convention at Milwaukee, where it incidentally became public property. : When Branch No. 11 heard of Henshaw’'s charges, it expelled Hague. Then Hague appealed to National President Stone, who onderet Hague reinstated. The local branch appealed to the arbitration committee, which sustained President Stone. This gn- gered the St. Louisans, and in the c@rse of the convention Stone was roundly de- nounced for his position supporting Hague, and circulars were distributed abusing him in vigorous language. This brought the matter before the convention, and a major- ity of the delegates decided that the offend- ing »ranch should be suspended until its members apologized to Stone for the pecu- liar fight they had made upon him. Hague is in attendance at the Milwaukee convention. WORK AT HOPEFIELD POINT Revetment and Bank Paving Will be and Ample Protection Afforded. MEMPHIS, Tenn.,: Sept. 4—rfnergetic preparations are being made by the gov- ernment engineers for the revetment work at Hopefield Point. The work will be con- menced in a few days, or as s00Nn as cer- tain material which is necessary to the operations arrives. This'js the stone which will be used not only in the revetment work, but in the bank paving as well. ‘The’ magnitude and importance of the work at Hopefield Point is of the greatest magnitude, especially to the interests of Memphis. It’is not generally Known that in the past six years Hopefield Point has re- ceded 3000 feet, but such is a fact, and it is the aim of the government to check this cutting entirely. ° Since the first .revetment work was put in the point has not receded, and thus the formation of the bar which isolated so much valuable property from the river on this side was stopped. Since the point was first revetted the protrusion otf the bar Done work has been repaired and time to time, as the It is now in need of repairing and it is found necessary also to do some new work. For this purpose the Mississippi river commission has made a liberal allotment and ordered the work done. ‘ : Capt. E. E. Winslow, United States army engineer in charge of the first and sec- ond river improvement districts, has su- pervision of the work. Capt. Winslow said that the Hopefield Point work would be- gin within 10 days, or, possibly sooner. The reason that it ia not now In progress is be- cause the stone ordered has not arrived. This is expected at any time and when it arrives operations will begin. The revetment work wil] be extended about 500 yards around the point down stream and a large new-mattress will be sunk. Bank paving repair work will be done and the bank paving will be extended for about two miles up stream. It will re- quire only about _10 days to complete the revetment work when once operations are begun in earnest, but the bank paving work will go on throughout the low water sga- SOR. ) Capt. Winslow said that the practical benefit of the revetment work at the point would be found In the checking of the bar. The bar, he said, would doubtless grow in height, but would not extend outward from the Tennessee shore so long as the point was amply protected by mattresses and ree vetment work. An important order has been issued to the Choctaw, Oklahoma & Gulf Raltlroad tin connection with the revetment work. The road was instructed that it would have to discontinue the transfer boat, Gen. Pier- son, during the government operations at the point. The landing of the transfer steamer at Hopefield Point during the operations can- be used, as the work wotld be mate- rially interfered with. Capt. Winslow has accordingly notified the raflroad company that while the work is going on it cannot use the transfer boat. He said that the The original supplemented from exigencies required. more than 10 days. It will not be necessary to stop the boat until the mattresses are ready to be gunk.

Special to the Post-Dispate> ST. Jt ISP Mo., Sept. 8—Thomas Pike of Darlington is the most disappointed young man in the world today. He ran away from his home Tuesday with Mary Boddick, 15 years old, and they were mar- ried at Albany. Five hours after they were married the parents of the girl stole her from Pike and came to this city with her. Their intention is to take her to California, Young Pike and Sheriff Buckley of Gen- try County came to the city today to inter- cept the parents of the bride, but could not find them. They have disappeared, a noe trace of them has been found sincé ey arrived in the city in charge of the girl. -““T'll follow them to the end of the earth,” exclaimed Pike today, sorely ag tr gee at not finding his bride here. He had no warrant for the arrest of her parents, but was accompanied by the sheriff, and ex- pected to take his wife from her parents by foree if it was necessary. Boddick and his wife, with the girl a prisoner between them, were seen by ac- quaintances when they stepped from a train here. They placed the girl in a cab an were driven away from the station. Sheri Buckley is of the opinion that ey were driven into Kansas with their prisoner and boarded a train at some _ asatation there, bound for California. Pike has se@mt tele- grams to many places, trying to\find a trace of his missing bride and her captors. He intends to follow them as soon as -he learns the direction they have taken. The voung man has plenty of money and a de- termination to have the girl as his wife. ‘That's all he needs," said Sheriff Buck- ley. TRIO OF BAD BOYS PUNISHED Jchn McClusky Left to Tender Mercies of His Mother, and the Remain- ing Two Were Fined. John Donovan, Peter Long and John McCluskey, all under 14 years of age, were behind prison bars -Friday night, for the first time. . They were arrested in the afternoon near the Cote Brilliante School and locked tu at the Deer street station. It was charged they had thrown stones at the boys coming from the Cote Brilliante School and other- wise misbehaved themselves. All night they cried and between their sobs sought to convince the sergeant they were model boys. ‘We'll never to to the school any more,” little Donovan said. é ‘Mister, won't you send for my mamma?” pleaded Peter, while young. McCluskey chimed in with, “Please don't tell mine, or she'll come here and give me a lick- ing. : Eneuréay morning the juvenile offenders were transferred to the Dayton Street Po- lice Court. McCluskey told Judge Wislizenus that he lived at 4812 Labadie avenue and whes asked why his mother was not present, he replied: “I don’t want her to know where I am.

The agreement between the St. Louis & Belleville Electric Railway Co. and the employes’ union is a model worthy of imitation. The parties agree to submit the question in dispute to a board of arbitrators whose decision must be announced within 30 days and will be accepted by both parties as final. This agreement was brought about through the mediation of citizens who intervened to prevent a strike. Both the com- panies and the employes sensibly embraced the opportunity offered to settle their differences in a peaceful manner. Good temper and good sense only are needed when such con- troversics arise. No strike is inevitable unless made so by the obstinate unintelligence of one or both parties. This Belleville case ought to serve as an example in future. It might be taken as a precedent in St. Louis, which has had gome experience in street railway strikes. a ~~ oe Does Mr. Flory promise that the state treasury will not be Ziegenhtined ? ; : _— > pip / i. NETWAISTS WILL STAY. It will not do to assert that the days of the netwaist are over because the thermometer makes a sudden tumble. Everybody knows that the “jiggermerig”’ or netwaist is a good thing, from whatever point it is viewed. The doctors have warned (the girls that netwaistitis awaits them if they persist in wearing the flimsy net yoke on cool mornings or evenings. But what girl of spirit cares for such warnings? The shirtwaist man may doff his dearly acquired garment and put on a coat, but he is nothing but a man. Since garments were invented, it is the woman who has suffered for the sake of style and appearance, and she is still the dear, brave creature she ever was. She will not give up the ‘jigeermerig’’ until she shivers so much that she is in danger of shaking it off. - Se SE There is a big demand in Siam for railway material and fire- ll i le _—_ ; ————— EO — ——— EO lll ll i _— -_- ea eo | to the bloomers, when she found he would not bite at the appearance of the less glaring departure from the usual. ‘The man or woman Who sets out to:-tame the human beast should start with the nearest, and hence most dangerous. _ -—_—_—-_-_—~ © — — A strike of the Pennsylvania anthracite coal miners would be a calamity to the entire country, as well as to the opera- tore and miners. It would throw 150,600 workers out than a million persons. It would put up the price of coal and thus affect all productive activities and the living expenses of | every family during the coming winter. It would bring great hardship on the poor. The operators are quoted as saying that “there is nothing to arbitrate,’ but’the published facts belie this statement and the situation makes their attitude of unreasonableness arrogant contempt of public interests. The people must find a means to protect themselves from the consequences of disturbances which affect their industrial activities and means of living. The public interest must guarded against the disasters brought about by arrogance, greed or passion on the part of those controlling or working for consolidated industries or transportation interests. ™ 20 WhO IS AT FAULT? The coroner.finds that the death of the two police officers Monday night was caused by the crossing of the fire alarm and police telegraph and telephone lines by Seckner electric light wires. It appears from the evidence that strung only an inch or an inch and a half above the police wires, although a cleafance of 18 inches is required. On the other hand, it appears that the fire alarm system is antiquat- ed, if not Had the’ police telephone system been of modern pattern the accident would not have occurred. Why did the Seckner company string their wires in this dangerous proximity to the antiquated lines of the fire alarm when they were required. to keep at a safe distance? Why did the public servants whose duty it was to see that observed permit the Seckner people ¥ be the Seckner wires were obsolete. such requiretnents are to ignore them?

To the Féitor of the Post-Dispatch. a It seems that every thirty days teen people are killed by the street railroads of this city, and there appears to be no- way vf telling just how many are, more r less, seriously or, perhaps, fatally, aimed, De not make the mistake of laying all the blame on the motormen and conductors. They do not fix the conditions under which the cars are operated. It is true that there is always a conductor and a motorman charge of every car that grinds to deat or decapitates some of our fellow ‘citizens, but those poor fellows are not onmé thous- andth part as guilty or as much to blame as are the men who put that car upon the crowded streets of a city. When one single car runs down and kills an individual, as far as the men in actual charge of that car are concerned, it is more or less of an accident, but with the directors, the case is wholly different. When a car comes out upon the streets of this city, the directors and other of- ficiala know it will be obliged to pick its way through 600.000 human beings who have a perfect right to use the streets. It is their duty then to see that the r is sent out under such conditions that will not endanger the life, the limb or the liberty of others. That car is a heavy machine. The directors ‘know this and they also know that if for one second the operator should not have anak age control over ft, that some one is likely to be killed by ft. If the schedules are made so the motorman could not bring his car to a dead stand- still in the space of two feet, then that car is a menace to the people who use the streets. I say, hold the directors and managp- — ment responsible for the so-called ac@- dents. . OUTRAGED 8ST. LOUIS. A Broad View. Tm the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. There seems to be considerable epveditiee to keeping the Exposition open on Sundays and some appear to think it would be ainfu to violate God's day. and that he would cease to be with us in consequence, I re- gard all days as God's days, for in them all he works equally and continuously. There is no day of rest in nature when it is wrong for grass to grow, flowers to bloom or birds to steer, Nor is it wicked for us to enjoy all the beauties of God's creation on the Bab- bath dav: it lifts us nearer to the Infinite and attunes our natures to the harmonies of the universe. Why, then, should it wrong to look at the manifestations of tnan's genius in mechanics, art, and all the productions of ingenious minds on Sunday? As the enjoyment of nature brings us nearer to God, so the contemplatidn of the various works of mankind brings us into more harmonious relations with our fellow beings and increases fraternal footing. te | is an element of religion—the brotherhood 0 man—and whatever strengthens anti en- courages it should be fostered every day in the week.

The inventor has had a long fight. Naval officers have usually opposed such boats on the ground that they were death traps. But the obstacle which has hitherto been insur- mountable is revealed by the remark made not long ago by a manufacturer of armor plate. “We will oppose submarines. For, if they succeed, Congress won't appropriate for so many ships.”’ This is luminous. It throws a flood of light not only on submarines, but on many other important matters. The power of iicensed monopoly to obstruct invention and impede progress cannot be measured. But how it may affect ‘the most vital national concerns is revealed in this monopo- list’s frank remark. | —/_ i, i, i i All good Democrats can agree with Gov. Ted in regard to the taxation of franchises. They are willing to give him credit for signing a bill for such taxation. All the franchises “given away” by Gov. Ted's party friends in the St. Louis Municipal Assembly should be justly taxed. _—— i> i i A CAREER FOR YOUNG MEN. Mr. Cornelius Vanderbilt, a very worthy young man, has gone into politics in New York. This would not be noteworthy but for the fact Ahat the young man is very rich. He is the first of his family to go openly into politics, though the Vanderbilts have always been @ considerable force in public affairs. Mr. Vanderbilt should make no mistake in his beginnings. He should begin at the bottom and work his way up. New York City needs young men of intelligence and education to boss the wards and run the primaries. If he is to have any influence of his own aside from that which naturally flows from his wealth he must learn the details of practical work. Lincoln did not despise such little work, nor Tilden, nor Gar- field. What is here said of Mr. Vanderbilt may be applied to any other respectable young mah who deplores the present low estate of political life. If he really wants to do effective worx Jet him not vreach, but work. Let him not bemoan corrup- tion, but take hold, and by his own efforts help to eradicate corruption. There is a great opportunity for young men in such a carcer. — rr + Administration paople in Saline County, Mo., ate delighted With a letter from a soldier in the Philippines to his Demop- eraitc father, in which he declares that Bryan is the ohe hope left to the Filipinos.

Those who are arguing about the Philippine war may find these facts of value in their debatings. -—__—_—__—_-eoo- THE HUMAN BEAST. Beeause she dared to go out in public wearing bloomers. Mrs. Redman of the Nutmeg state was chastised by a bruta! man who had seworn to love and honor her. The way of the drees reformer is hard.

With a chicken trust in New York the consumer is cer- tainly “getting it in the neck.” Benjamin Davis of Missouri will be prominent in the apple department of the Pan-American Exposition. Our Alaskan earthquakes heap up mountains of ice and, with a little further practice, they may shake out nuggets of gold. Perhaps the woman of Washington who was horsewhipped by her husbahd for wearing bloomers has no papa or big brother. With a new head, a new arm and a new leg, the fountain statue in the Merchants’ Exchange hopes to go far into the new century. The remarriage of a Massachusetts Couple who had been divorced for 50 years seems to put matrimony a little ahead of the divorce courts. It is said that there will be a heavy output of* masculine shirtwaists from the manufactories next summer. Can it possible that in the new century the summer man appearing in a coat is to be scoffed at? Prof. Poggenpohl, who has succeeded in reaching the sum- mit of Mount Ararat, will perhaps attempt to prove that the perpetual ice and snow up there is the congealed water used by Noah in making a landing.

Index. / Cook, in referring to Dick Dalton's “flop,” says: Col. Dalton knows that the real bur- den which the people of Missouri are bearing in the way of taxation is the fraudulent railroad debt imposed in many of the counties of this state years ago when the party whose cause he now espouses was in full control. an admirer of Col. Dalton and opposed him in his candidacy for governor in 1892. Therefore I do not wish to be understood as defending him In his “flop.” But I must disagree with Mr. Cook when he says that “the real burden the people of. Missouri are carrying in the way of taxation-is the fraudulent railroad debt’’ saddled upon us by the Republicans, in my humble opinion some of this “bur- den” is chargeable to the present state ad- ministration in turning a deaf ear to the universal demand for the taxation of fran- chises. The St. Louis Transit Co. alone has property, the market value of which Is $65,000,000. It is assessed at less than one fourth this amount—and the gentlemen at Jefferson City do the ansenssng. What fare 1er gets off at so low a rate? "aa dae Democrats down here, but we are not exactly of the brand that are most conspicuous at Jefferson City. We are Democrats not merely in name, but in principle also, Colin Harvey says a states- man is one who wants to do something for the state. A_ politician is one who wants the state to ado something for him. Those fellows up at the capitol seems to be pol- ‘ians. Whe was It that vetoed the ment bfll—a law calculated to reach the taxdodger? Gov. Stephens. Who was it that signed the bill creating il oolroom and racetrack monopoly—disguised as the horsebreeders’ bill? Gov. Stephens. Who was afraid to call a so-callec lemocratia legislature in extra sesasion to pass a fran- chise tax law? Gov, Stephens. Who was it that aided Bill Phelps. the lobbyist, In hecoming a delegate-at-large to the Demo- eratic national convention? Gov. Stephens. Who was fit that caused the “smothering” af the franchise tax bill during the last session ef the legislature? Hill Phelps, aided b some of our so-called Democratic state of- ficials. Who caused the defeat of the bill to reduce ratiroad,. telegra sh and express rates? Bill Phelps & Co. Vho caused the defeat of the bill to reduce the rate of tn- terest? The Shylocks & Co. In short, has not all legislation at Jefferson City In re- eent vears been in the interest of capital?

With so much help it seema that they ought to have been to get that franchise tax bill out of ¢ nigeon-hele before final . adjournment Might not this array of clerks and eme ployes explain some of the “burden” to which Sam Cook refers?

OOOO OOOO OOOO SH OS & és The Form Sheet for the Kinloch races is published every day in the Post-Dispatch Noon Extrna. ° OPO SESE OOOO OSE SESS The Kinloch Park track presented a gala appearance Friday. For the first time of the meeting the faltr sex were President Liucas' guests. While ho R. 8. V. P. acceptance cards, which are usual in society functions were received by the management, yet the grand- stand was crowded with the elete of the la- dies who enjoy the “sport of kings.”’ Incidentally, it was a glorious day's sport, is several of the finishes were the finest ever seen in the West. The Post-Dispatch racing statisticion promised not to throw any bouquets at himself, yet he probably will be pardoned by reprinting a paragraph from Friday's noon edition of the Post-Dispatch: “If you want to play a long shot that has a chance put a small bet three ways on Blackford. The Post-Dispatch racing statisticlan may be persona non grata with his informant by giving out this tip, but as the Irishman says, “There is. nothing too good for the readers of the Post-Dispatch.’ Nellie For- rest ran third to Jaunette her last out, and she should be a contender for a “piece” of the money.” Hlackford was destes at 40 to 1 and some of the Post-Dispatch’'s clientage won hand- somely. Lime Light and Staff were also Kiven as good things. But why ponder over Friday's races, as Saturday is another day? A more attractive card could hardly be programed than the races to be run at the, Kinloch track Saturday. The half-holiday contingent should enjoy a delightful outing. Eleven fair ‘actors’ will perform in the curtain-raising event. ‘6 Doralice ran third her last out to The Singer and Amelia Strathmore. The dis- tance was six and a half furlongs. Dora- lice dislikes to journey over three-quarters of a mile. With only a 107-pound jockey on her back she should run away from her field Saturday. Al Lene figures the best of the others and she should secure the place from Veloce. A whist party of juveniles will answer the bugle’s call in the second race. Tony Lepping, Merriman and Curd Gillock all figure within a few pounds of each other, and the jockey will be a most potent figure. On Ajg. 17 een ran third to Tony Lepping and Margaret F. Merriman closed very strong, and realizing that Crowhurst will give the Bennett colt a vigorous ride ne *7ost-Dispatch statistician will select h to defeat Tony Lepping. Curd Gillock should have nwo troubh in disposing of Marcie Dent. Eleven fair performers will be saddled for the third purse. The race deciphers hetween Maydine and Sam Lazarus. The former, however, looks the better. Billy Boardman’s Mona B. is very speedy for the three-quarters and should ‘‘peep.

Pompadour Jim Has Entered Wali Street and Is Making Things Lively There. Special to the Post- Dispatch. NEW YORK, Sept. §.—James J. Corbett is in Wall street. He has often been on Easy street and thinks the two are alike. Corbett is alleged to have profited sev eral thousand recently by tips from ad- mirers who turn tricks. International paper and B. & O. have brought him tin several tidy sums. Mr. Corbett is somewhat self-conscious, as. for instance: ‘“‘No, I have not been down there myself for fear of attracting too much attention. “You noticed the way the market has been getting livelier of late, haven't you” Well, that's because there is new money in the street and‘an aggressive element in the field. I am those. However, | guess the old-timers there will not go broke at once. With which few remarks Mr. Corbett re- newed his bull movement in corn products at his tenderloin dispensary. Fitzsimmons, too, has came to the front in these barren anti-prize fighting days. He has become an editor. Daily he is writ- ing for an afternoon paper that comes out at 7:30 o'clock in the morning, flerce articles on manliness, self-defense and the like. Kid McCoy won't retire from the ring after all. He says, after all, he’s through forever fighting heavyweights, but is ready to fight Fitzsimmons for the middleweight championship of the world. McCoy says he is ready at any time to make a match with Lanky Bob, and furthermore hopes Fitz-will acept his chal- lenge, as he is anxious to become the mid dleweight champion. Tom O'Rourke -is planning to ull off events at his Charter Oak Club in Hart- ford, Conn., or at Hoboken, N. J. Connectl- cut sports are inclined to fight him and all other New York invaders. They want to run the fights themselves. New Jersey law and order leagues are watching the Jersey game. McCoy says O'Rourke Is ready to give a big purse if he and Fitz get together. Bob Armstrong. who was Fitzsimmons’ gee bag while he was preparing for is recent fight. will be O'Rourke's chief card. He has taken the negro in charge on a three years’ contract and says he is a second Peter Jackson. This will be dis- pleasing to Sharkey and if he breaks with ©'Rourke, which he is likely, a fight be- tween Sharkey and Armstrong may be ex- pected soon. Kid McCay and Jim Corbett have made up. They shook hands at an uptown res- taurant the other night and appeared on the best of terms. Corbett and his wife and Mr. and .Mrs. George Considine were eatine when Mr and Mrs. McCoy came in. Considine walked over to the McCoy party and asked the Kid to meet Corbett half way. After a whispered conversation between the Kid and hia wife McCoy consented. Corbett walked over and both shook hands good naturedly and chatted pleas- antly for a few minutes. Rolandow, the lifting machine, is deter- mined to keep Jeffries busy just because Jeffries wants to do some lifting stunts these dull days. He today challenged Jcf- fries to a lifting champlonship contest or would fight him six rounds for $1000 a side. First of the season, New Y ork Select Oys- ters, 25c per dozen.

RUSSELL SAGE BULLISH. Believes a Close Union Between Muis- souri Pacific and Southwestern Beneficial. Ry Wire to Rennett Wasserman & Co. NEW YORK, Sept. 8.—Regarding the report that there la to be an agreement and possiblye a closer union between the Missouri Pacific and St. Louls & Southwestern Mnes, Russell Sage bad this gay today: ‘The establishment of closer relations between the Missouri Pacific and the St. Louis & Scuthwestern roads would be a natural develop ment, and I think that something of the kind will come to pares in the not far distant future. “Such an arrangement as has been spoken of would be beneficial to both of the companies con- cerned, and would result io a material reduction of operating erpenses. “I feel very bullish on Missouri Pacifie stock. I don’t see why the stock should not go to par. “The market looks strong, but not so elrong 6s it should be, considering the country's busiress sit- vation. The greatest factor in deterring cu lation at the present time ig the p@nding elections.’’ Mr. Sage'’s statements are regarded with much interest on Wall etreet, and his views concerning Missourt Pacific's future caused much comment.

If the etrike should be averted there will be a lively opening on Monday. If it takes place the market will likely steady after the first five min- vies. as the bears have fully discounted the etrike ard all of ite bad reeulta, and will want to cover vtpen its realization We believe that next week will see a good market at materially higher prices for good atotks.

The market fell back into du'lneas and prices receded with the weakness of the coa’ers on fears of a mi- ners’ strike, People’s Gas on the war rates and lireoklyn Transit apprenension of municipal exac- tien. Sugar dropped back aleo, after the flurry over the unexpected increase in the dividend rate.

MERCHANTS’ EXCHANGE, Sept. 8. Cables were higher, but by so small a fraction that they had little effect upon the local market. Prices locally went up a few fractions, but there was little demand and the range did not hold steady very long. Liverpool opened 4d up for wheat and a advanced for corn. That market closed 4d up for wheat and %@%éd up for corn. Paris closed 5 centimes or ye up for wheat. St. Louis—Sept. wheat was bid 71\4c and Dec. opened at 73¢c. Dec. corn opened at 33c.

The barometer Is highest over the Northwest Territory and North Atlantic states and lowest off the West Gulf and Central West. Rainfall occurred over portions of the southeastern states, extreme Upper Mississippi and Mis- sour! Valleys and Oregon. The following heavy ralnfall (in inches) was registered: Roseburg, Ore., 1.96; Hu- ron, South Dakota, 1.76; New Orleans, 1.28. The West Indian storm is central this morning off the west Gulf coast. The cotton market today opened with a decided reaction, which removed a good deal of the losses of yesterday. Liverpool cotton futures closed from 5 points up, on near positions, to 2 points down on the late months. The market was very active, but somewhat erratic. New York futures all opened higher, feel- ing sympathy with the advance in near ositions. Jam opened 10 points up; March, points up; Sept., 15; Oct., 14; Nov., Ll, and Dec., 10 points advanc ed from the pre- 734% @ f3c opened at and Sept. corn 39%c }| vious close. Wheat was most or the time pegged after the —s futures, having a hard time making any anges. «The lack of, any real legitimate buying was sadly felt. There was the usual acattering scalping buy- ing, but anything really approaching a good de- mand was absent. The cash business at Chicago yesterday included 700,000 bu of No. 2 hard winter, d good part of it being closed for shipment to Baltimore and Pila- delphta. Exporters bought 328.G00 bu of wheat. Northwest stocks of wheat in elevator increased 1,745,000 bu during Angust. The total is now 8,236,000 bu, against 2,022,000 bu a year ago.
