Governor-elect Alexander M.

The governor entertained in truly Demo- Matic fashion. occupying one of the soft cushioned chairs in the lobby of the hotel Among the first to claim his attention were brosecuting Attorney-elect W. T. Rutherford and Dr. J. G. Martin, both of Clark County. Dr. Martin is a candidate for the position of head physician at the penitentiary and Mr. Rutherford is his ehicf lieutenant. Other ‘aspirants are Dr. Kendricks of Ralls County and Dr. Stewart of Gallatin. Dr. Martin thinks the contest is about.even, so far. Contest for the Speakership.

Most of the candidates mingled among their friends in the hotel corridors Friday morning. The impression prevails that W. J. Hamil- ton of Gallatin, C. C, Dickinson of Henry County and Mr. Whitecotton of Monroe are nearest to the plum. This, however, is not the view of the adherents of many of the others mentioned in connection with. the place. Mr. Wolfolk of Lincoln County, who is making an aggressive fight, insists that his chances are excellent. “I do not believe,”’ he said, ‘“‘that the contest will be decided before the Legisla- ture meets. There may be slates, no doubt but slates have been broken be fore — there is every reason tc believe they will meet a similar fate with the coming Leg- islature.”’ Claude R.

Secretary Louis Kunz of the coroner's office, who makes out the fee bills, says that he has sent the bills each day to the mayor's office, as is required by law, and John Thomas, the colored porter of the cor- oner’s office, is positive that he has always delivered the documents to Secretary Zie- genhein or to L.

HEROIC. FIREMAN ATALLY URI Tried to Stop a Runaway.

He was dragged 20 feet by the frightened anjmal and dashed against a curbstone, splitting his skull and causing concussion of the .brain, which Dr. P. Shuck, of 2429 South Broadway, says may result fatally. Heigdenry is married and resides with his wife and four children at 1222A Park avenue. His wife is in delicate health, and when he was taken home in an ambulance the policeman in charge had to break the news gently to her. Heligdenry is un- ppeine Fhe and could not talk connectedly of the accident. The horse and buggy were owned. by Frank Turek, 23 vears old, of 930. Hickory street. He and his younger brother, Louis Turek, were crossing a car track at Allen and Mississippi avenues in the buggy at 10:45 o'clock, when one of the wheels broke and the hérse, taking fright at the noise behind, became unmanageable and started to run east on Allen avente, The elder Turek, in attempting to turn the horse in a different direction to keep him from running to his stable at Sixth and Park avenue, was thre@wn out as the horse turned a corner, striking a treebox with his head, but Was net seriously in- jured. Louis Turek then took hold of the reins and with remarkable self-possession for one so young tried to stop the horse, even go- ing so far as to climb on the horse’s back to saw the bit between his teeth. Finding that his efforts were of no avail he climbed back into the buggy, which was bumping along at a terrific rate on one wheel and an axle, and coolly tried to keep the horse in the middle of the street. he horse took a direet route to the liverv stable of Henry Meter, at Sixth street and Park avenue, encountering the brave fire- men just before he reached the stable. when he stopped of his own volition. The younger hoy was not injured. _—_e—- THE FINEST YET. Ton't repine, Brother mine, s you go throngh life along Smile or laugh!

HIGH SALARIES AND RICH GIFTS RECORDS DESTROYED IN CANADA TO HIDE FRAvDS. Contention Arises Over Alleged Can- cellation of Insurance of Dr. Coulter by Men at Head of the Order. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Dec. 28.—A motion of great interest to the Ihdependent Order of For- esters, which numbers 169,000, was argued before Judge Blanchard in an action brought by Dr. Chas. L. Coulter against the Foresters. Dr. Coulter alleges that he recently brought a suit for $100,000 against one Oronhyatekha and one McGillivray, on a busines contention between them; that these two men, who are respectively the supreme chief ranger and the supreme sec- retary of the Independent Order of For- esters, took advantage of their position in the order to cause Dr. Coulter to be dropped from membership and to cancel his life insurance policies without notice. It is asserted by Dr. Coulter that Wron- hyatekha and McGillivray have threatened his attorneys and witnesses with expulsion from the order, and he asks for an in- junction to restrain the order and its offi- cers from intimidating his witnesses or ar- bitrarily cancelling policies. He also alleges that the order {s managed by a clique of Canadians headed by Oron- hyatekha, a half-breed Indian, in an ar- bitrary and extravagant manner, and that | | | it has sunk over $700,000 tn a wild real es- tate speculation and loaned its funds to its officials on overvalued lands. He further alleges that the order has not only paid these officials extravagant sal- aries, but also made them munificent gifts of money out of its funds, that-its officials have destroyed its records to conceal their illegal acts and that through these acts and mismanagement the order has become ractically insolvent, there being outstand- ng and unpaid death and disability claims against it amounting to over $300,000. Affidavits from various Canadian mem- bers of the executive council were read denying all the allegations in the plaintiff's affidavits. Behind all the litigation say the Canadian members is a scheme to remove the execu- tive council, composed of Canadians, and substitute in their places residents of the United States. | The election does not take place for a year and in the meanwhile some lively legal skirmishing is predicted. NEGROES ESCAPED BONDAGE They Were Being Sent to Hawaii Un- der Close Guard to Work on the Sugar Plantations. Special to the Post-Dispatch. SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 28.—Just before the steamer Zealandila sailed for Honolulu, two of the twenty-five negroes who ‘were being sent to the islands to work on the plantations, made a dash for liberty and succeeded in escaping, notwithstanding that police and others pursued them. The negroes came here from Nashville, Tenn., in charge of R. O. Bean of the Southern | Pacific. “All expressed a willingness to go to Honolulu,’ he said. “Of course they were guarded a bit, owing to the fear that some of them might have expressed a wil- lingness to go with_the idea that they) could desert.at San Francisco, thus secur- | ing free passage across the continent.’’ It is said Hawaiian sugar planters intend to take thousands of negroes from this coun- SLAIN = AFTER = ACQUITTAL Sherman Meredith, Freed by Court, | ' bar, including a $300 picture of ‘“‘Cleopatra Started for Sick Wife’s Bedside, but Was Killed on Way.

It is to be hoped that the completion ef the World’s Fair fund of $5,000,000 will be accomplished by next Monday night. No better way could be conceived to see the old century out _ and the new one in. ®o much depends upon the World’s Fair that it is difficult to understand why any citizens should be relu2tent to par- ticipate in the enterprise. The prosperity and fair fame of the city, the betterment in materia] conditiuns of every St Louisan, and the extension of business in all directions—all these will be immensely promoted by the great fair. This much is acknowledged. Why thea d>o. some of the most public-spirited citizens maintain an attitude of coid in- difference ? The World's Fair has been finally decided upon. Its suc- cess is assured. The only question is how great shall that success be? she Measure of success is to be found in the degree ot unanimity with which it is supported. Will not every citizen aspire to be identified with a work £0 important? Will not every St. Louisan desire to labor in unison with his fellows in an enterprise which will place St. Louis in the front rank of great cities of the world? And in une future will not every man connected with it look back with pride upon his share in a municipal] and national tri- umph? Let all work together.

This is a sensible conclusion. Women’s clubs have become the centers of much intellectual and social activity. They initiate many reforms, exercise to a considerable extent a censorship on manners, and in many other ways exert a sound, wholesome influence on public and secial affairs. Then why not giye the public the benefit of their debates? If the members find what members say worth listening to isn’t it likely that a wider audience might be interested and protited ? It is objected that some ladies fear criticism if what they say within the precincts of their clubis published. But if the disagreeable details of the larger life térrify them why ven- ture into social or public life? If a woman goes one step he- yond domesticity she must go the whole journey. Besides the criticism will not all be censoriouz—perhaps not much of it. A woman who has something to say usually knows how to say it, and if she is sure of herself she neecn't fear the hostile critic. Rather she should pity him, poor fellow. There should be no more stuffed payrolls in St. Louis and mo more superiluous clerks in Jefferson City -e? oo _--—__—_—--__ CONTROLLING STREET RAILWAYS. The bill framed by the Chicago Street Railway Commis- sion for the municipal control and regulation of street rail- roads will reach the Illinois Legislature in January and will be pressed fcr passage. The essential provisions of the bill outlined in the Post- Dispatch of Wednesday are radical] and far-reaching. Unlike most measures of the kind, the public interest is the chief care of the act, the private interest of franchise seeking. cor- porations being postponed to that. The most noticeable feature is the power granted the city to acquire the ownership of the lines with or without compen- sation at the expiration of the franchise. Meanwhile, however, the granting of franchises is to be sur- rounded with so many guarantees that it will be difficult for any private company to get the better of the public. This enterprise is of the right sort, since it moves in the right direction. The people of St. Louis would do well to watch the development of the Chicago movement. —_—-— - - eee The odor of embalmed beef will be no more aavor the new stirring up it is to get from Alger and Miles. = = * —_ -— = nd CIVILIZATION IN CHINA. y from If the stories coming from credible sources are to be be-'| Heved, the civilized nations are trying to coerce Chjna into the circle of civilization by most uncivilized methods.

If the speaker shall be a man of known integrity, indepen- dence and purity of purpose, if he is devoted to the public good and considers it his duty to serve public, not private, interests, his election will be accepted 4s an indication of corresponding virtues, among the members, and especially among the Democrati¢ majority. ‘ If, on the contrary, he shall be a tool of the lobby, a man whose reputation is not clean and whose affiliations have been with the special interests always on the alert to cor. rupt and use public servants, his election will be accepted as a sign that the Legislature is too much under the influence of the lobby, and will be likely to betray the tryst com- mitted to it by the people. The public judgment will be pro*oundly affected by the result of the speakership contest. Public confidence can be persuaded only by the election of the very best man avail- able.

She was so poor that she pos- sessed nothing but a hen, and that she held | as dear as her eyesight; she cackled for it | and tended it both early and late. But one day, sure enough, the hen was lost. ‘Then the woman went round about the piace, and sought and calied for it, but the hen was gone, clean gone. “You must go out and try to find our hen,” she said to the eldest daughter; ‘we must have it again, evem Ti we have to 6° into the mountain for ig“ the daugnter said she would go am@ took after it; and she ran hitner and thither, and sought and shouted, but no hen could she find. tut just them she heard a voice calling, as it pga from a long way in the moun- tain: “The hen’s running about in the mountain! The hen’s scratching about in the moun- ain!"’ sAeway she wetit 16 sée where the voice éa@ffie from, but at thea foot of a precipice she fell right throuxh a trap door, deep, deep down into a vauit under ground. She wan- dered through many chambers, each one finer than the last, and when she reached the furthest one a great ugly mountain | troll came up io her, and said: “Will vou be my sweetheart’ s “No,” she said, “indeed I will not; and she wanted to go up again at once to see after her hen. At this the troll was. 50 angry that he took her and twisted her head off, and threw her body and head too down into the cellar. The mother sat at home waiting and wait- ing. but no daughter came back. She waited a good long time, but when she could neither hear nor see anything about her, she said to the middle daughter that she would have to go out and look after her sister; “and you may call after the hen at the same time,’’ she said. - So the second sister went out, and it hap- pened with her just as with the first; she went and sought and shouted, and she, too, heard the voice calling far off in the mountain: ‘The hen's running about in the mountain! The a scratching about in the moun- tain!” That was queer, she thought, and she would go and look what it was. 5So she tei throu the trap door too, deep, deep, down into the vault. There she went through all the chambers, and in the furthest one the mountain troll came to her and asked her if she would be his sweetheart. No, indeed, she would not, for she wanted to go up again at once. to look after the hen that had strayed away. So then the troll was angry, took her and twisted her head ort, and threw her head and her body too down into the cellar. . Now when the woman had sat and waited for the second daughter ever so long, and she could neither hear nor see anything ot her, she said to the youngest: ‘“‘Now you'll have to go out and look after your sisters. It was a bad job that the hen went away, but it would be worse still if we should nev- er find your sisters again; but you can be calling for the hen at the same time that you are looking for them.” She said she would do that, and she went hither and thither, and sought and called, but no hen could she see, and no sisters either; and after ever so long she came near the preci- pice, and then heard the voice saying: “The hen’s running about in the mountain! The hen’s scratching about in the moun- tain!”’ That was queer, she thought, and she must go and see about it. So she fell through the trap door too, deep, deep down into the vault. There she went through rooms, each one finer than the other; but she wasn't afraid, and .took , plenty. of time to look at everything, so that at last her eye fell upon the cellar door. She looked down into the cellar, and at once recog- nized her sisters who lay there. Just as she had shut the door again, the troll came to er. “Will you be my sweetheart?’ he asked. “Yes, willingly, I will,’’ said tne girl, for she knew well enough what had become of her sisters. When the troll heard it he gave her beautiful clothes, the most delightful she could wish for, and everything eise she could desire, so happy was he that at last someone would be his sweetheart. When she had’ been there some time, it happened one day that she was more low- spirited and quiet than she genefally was, so the troll asked her what she was moping about. “Oh,” said the girl, “it is because I can- not go to see my mother, and she is certain to be both hungry and thirsty, and there is no one with her.”’ “Well, you can't go to her,” said the troll, “‘but you can stuff some food in a sack, and I'll take it to her.”’ She thanked him, and said she would do so; but at the bottom of the sack she put a lot of gold and silver, and then a little food on the top; and then she told the troll the sack was ready, but he must not look into it. He promised her that he would not; and him through a hole in the trap door, and when he had gone part of the way he Said: “This sack is so heavy, I will just what there is in it;’’ and he was about to untie the string when the girl called out: “I gee you still! I see you still!” “Bother your eyes, and you too,” said the troll, but he dared not try it again. So = —s eee - _ SAUSAGE TURNOVERS.—Chop- cold boiled sausages very fine.

Cook claims great friendship for the boy, so it was thought he would dispose ot his contract to Lord William Beresford, the English turfman, for a reasonable sum. While the boy is no doubt being well treated by Cook and is receiving a hand- some salary, he might improv: his position in his chosen profession if he could accept Lord Beresford's offer. A jockey can become the greatest rider in America, but still not gain the reputation made by Sloan and the Reiffs ade gl their short stay across the water. There is an- other reason why it would be far better for Dominick if he codld go to England. The game is much harder in this country. There are a great many good boys here and a young rider would have to be a marvel to cc like Sloan or the Reiffs did in Eng- an Lester Reiff was always considered a fair rider, but he was never supposed to be an extraordinarily good one. He never did anything in the saddle while in America that Thorpe, Willie Martin, Taral, Burns, Griffith or Sims were not capable of do.ng. Dominick is just the sort of a rider that would develop into a top notcher on the English turf. He is quick to get away from the post and his work during the remaind- er of the journey is very effective, espec- jally in a sprint. Then he can use his hands and feet to a good advantage at the finish. Despite all this talk about the interfer- ence with the Ruhlin-Jeffries fight, the managers of the ose em eo Athletic Club of Cincinnati state positively that the police will make no attempt to interfere. As an evidence *®f good faith they have posted $2500 to be divided evenly between the (wo fighters if the mill is not ‘‘pulled off” as per schedule. the Texas sport promoter, is going to Carson City, where, it is said, he oil “pull off" another big fistic carnival.

On New Year's day the best trap shoot- ers in and around St. Louis will gather at Dupont Park and compete in a live-bird shvot for a diamond watch charm, offered by Dave Elliott This shoot proniises to be one of the best at the local traps in many a day. It will bring together men who are expert with the shotgun, and the winner of the match will certainly be entitled to all the honor that can be bestowed upon him, as it is a foregone conclusion that he will have to shoot in almost perfect form. The conditions that govern the trophy are such that matches will take place every two weeks for one year, for, to become a permanent owner of the Elliott charm, the competitior must have scored the highest number of killed birds in at least 15 matches. Should he have taken part in the full 25 matches, which will take place dur- ing the year, before the trophy is awarded, the contestant will be permitted to select his 15 best scores from which his general score will be figured. Such well-known local trap shooters as the following, which includes some of the very best amateur shots in the country, have signified their intention of entering the tournament, and they are only a few of those who are expected to compete; — Mermod, Charles Bnencs?, Dr. J.

LOUIS CAPITALISTS. Reports Will Be Received at Monday Night’s Big Meeting at the Mercan- tile Club of All the Committees. Everything is in residences for the big meeting of all the World's Fair committees at the Mercantile Club next Monday night. “We have every reason to believe this will be one of the most satisfactory and en- thuslastic meetings vet held in connection with the Weoérid’s Fair movement,’’ Marshal! BD. Lyle at headquarters Friday. Subscriptions to the fund are coming into the headquarters daily and the of the fund is looked for at said completion un early date. There are other reasons than congression- | @l action why the fund should be made up | in the next two weeks. The legislatures of nearly all.the states meet this year and, as most of them meet only every two Vears, the only opportunity the World's ‘air Committee will have to secure the Ssage of bills by them providing for ex- iibits for their states, will come in a few days. It is argued that the states cannot be asked to provide for exhibits until St. Louis is able to show that its share of the ex- pense is subscribed. One of the most satisfactory World's Fair meetings yet reported was that held in East St. Louls Thursday night. Nearly all of the capital on the Kast Side was represented. A plan to increase the Fast St. Louis subse ription of $26,000 by $25,- ) was favorably discussed, and Messrs. Abt, Fekete, Stephens and Forman were appointed as an executive committee to look after subscriptions. This committee will report at the Mercantile Club meet- ing Monday night. ust before the adjournment of the meet- ing a telegram announced the subscription of $1000 to the fund by the Hammar Paint Co. of East St. Louis. GOT MONEY BY AN OLD GAME. eee once Note of Distress Written to a Young. Woman, Who Was SwindlJed. Miss Tillie Fritgsche, 4124 North Twen- tieth street, caused a warrant to be isswed Friday, charging Oscar Rose, aged 16. of | 4033 North Twenty-second street, and Jos- eph Lawler, aged 28, of 1900 Angelica street, with petit larceny. Miss Fritzsche says Rose came to her with a note signed Jchn Burns, asking for $3.50. The note stated that Burns had been injured and was in St. Mary's Infirmary. A man named John Burns was employed by her father, and ome, thinking the note all right, gave Rose When her father returned home she told | him what she had done... Her father had seen John Burns, his emplove, during the day, and knew his daughter had) been swindied. The police were notified and Rose and Lawler were arrested. Rose anys Lawler wrote the asked him to deliver it. FEARED HIS WIFE’S WRATH. Accordingly Fred Frank Told a Fairy “ §$tory to the Police. | Fred Frank of 2117 South Ninth street confessed to Chief of ‘Detectives Desmond Friday that he told a falsehood when he called on the chief earlier the same morn-_| ing and reported that he had been robbed in an alley on Ann avenue, between Men- ard and Eleventh streets, of $113. Detectives Guion and Tracy were detailed to prove the story. They convinced them- selves that Frank was not in possession | of $113 Thursday night. They took him note and back to Desmond's office, where he admit- | ted that he had told the story as an ex- cuse for not buying his wife a Christmas present, which, he said, to give her Thursday night.

WHEAT NOWN, HEN Pe EARLY SLUMPS ube WIPED OUT BY SHORT COVERING. THEY MADE A LOW POINT The Leading Wheat Future Broke on the Bearish Government Report, but Later Rallied.

Trading at the close was much improved and large lotsa of the fine grain changed hands. The wheat bears had things all their way at the | opening of trade today, but it was by bo means a! oue-sided market. aud after May had recorded a new low record the market showed some decided advances and the demand grew much heavier. * sitnation was certainly bearish enough and had not been for an improved demand the would have been wide and all downhill. Another item that wast cot be oveciooked In ac- counting for the steady tone in wheat is the re- ceipte. At the local market, and aisv in the Northb- West postings show a heavy falling off, and, of course, with ary kind of a demand and no offerings prices must: advance Averpool clused 44 up for wheat. unchanged to 10 centimes up.

Shipments for the range Paris closed closed ye week were 424,000 bu, «om- pared with 536,000 bu last week and 552.000 ba the same week last year.

Receipts of wheat at primary points today wete 581,534 bu, as compared with 452,000 bu same date last year. Shipments, 222,146 bu, 135,090 bu same date last year. Corn Prices Have a Rally. Early conditions in the corn market were )" favor of the bear and prices showed a. tendency: to break heavily, opening sales being several. ‘rac- tions below the mevious clome. Later the Wheat market worked higher apd in sympathy corn {fu- tures advanced. Liverpool closed 4d up for corn and this added to small Argentine shipments made up the bull: of the bull rewe ef the day.

Shipments, 271.418 bu, compared with 267,000 bu saane date last year. Oats of Little interest. Trading in the oats market was not thonght of in the early part of today's session. The futures of wheat and corn called for more than. the usual amount of attention Bnd the cheap gtain Was therefore neglected. May was offered at 2444c, but no trades were recorded at this figure. Receipts of oats at St. Louis today were 18,000 bu, compared with 27,600 bn same date last year. Of these 15 cars were local, compared with 20 cafes same date last year. The Modern Miller Outlook.
