FAINTED AT THE VERDICT High School Contest Ends in Courtroom Just Before Jury Came In,

By ROSE MARION, A Staff — t ef the Post- ispatch. EDWARDSVILLE, IL,.Aprit 27.—Mrs. Lucy McTeer Shannon, acquitted last night, after five ballots of the jury, of the charge of murder for’killing her -husband, Leonard Shannon, Dec. 31 last, left the Madison County Jail this morning a free woman, accompanied by the relatives, who have supported her during the ordeal of trial for her life. She goes now to the home of her sister to recuperate from the strain of tne trial and to recover er ieaiin shattered by the tragedy and its at- tendant circumstances. Girls gowned in white and_ earnest faced youths, their parents and nds had filied the courtroom last nignt tor the preliminary intellectual contest of the Madison County High Schools, but had gone when a message came at 10:4 o'clock that the jury in the case of * Shannon was ready with its ver- 1.ct. Those who had been tremblin for ‘fear of losing a prize had gone, and in their stead came a woman who trembled for life Bo liberty. She

walked with Jailer Nogan, Sheriff Da- vid Jones having e to his home in Collinsville earlier’in the evening under the impression that the jury would not reach a decision before morning. Few of her relatives were there. Tired with the ordeal of the week most of them had gone home. Two of her attorneys, Judge George Cooper and Judge Edward Lane, re- turned late Friday evening to Hillsboro. Attorney Waggoner, the third counsel for the defense, was there. Mrs. Shan- ‘non had been half. asleep when called by Jailer Hogan, but she was wide awake after she walked with him through the moonlight for a half block and then up the rear Courthouse stairs into the room. The jury filed to their places and Bailiff Judd called the court to order. Fainted at Verdict. When Foreman McClain read the ver- dict there were few who heard more than the word “Acquitted.’’ That was more than Mrs. Shannon could stand. Her strength left her and she fainted, but was supported by Jailer Hogan's arm. When she revived she rose and looked at the men who had given her her liberty. She started to tell them how grateful she was, but words would not come. Jailer Hogan’s wife, who had taken eat interest in the case, said to Mrs. hannon: ‘Now this night you will spend with me,” but the fr woman shook her head. She insigted upon being taken back to the Jail, but finally yielded and spent

Judge Burroughs in his instructions to the jury laid great stress on the jury’s duty to accept her statement as to what ste believed at the time of the shoot- ing was her danger from her husband, whether the testimony showed the dan- ger was real] or only apparent. “She had the right to decide for her- self,’ said the Judge, “wether her life was in danger; and if she believed it ‘was. it makes no difference whether it really was or not.

Hawley, the New York aero- naut, announced at noon saturday that he would make an ascension ‘during the afternoon from the plant of the Laclede Gas Works, Main and Rutger streets. He ‘will be .accompanied ‘by Leo Stevens, also of New York. Mr. Hawley will make this ascension in order to complete the number of filghts that must be made to permit him to qualify as a pilot in the international races next October. Mr. Hawley has been selected ag tne pilot for one of the three American balloons. J. C. McCoy of New York, after a con- sultation with Weather Forecaster Bowie, Saturday morning, decided to postpone for at least 36 hours the as- cension he had planned to make Satur- day night. McCoy needs a wind from the west to carry out hig plan to sail toward if not to, Washington, possible. Bowle in- formed him that he would not have such a wind tonight. McCoy said he would surely make the ascension as soon ag the proper wind .can be had. He will attempt to win the cup offered by the Aero Club of America to any balioonist who -excels Lieut.

Business Men's Association to Keep Up Campaign. By a vote that was practically unani- mous, the Affiliated Business Men’s As- sociation decided Friday night to con- tinue its fight for better street car ser- vice along the same lines that were adopted when the matter was first takeh in hand—to collect evidence of violations of the ordinances and start ‘police court prosecutions in every case where there seems a possibility of con- viction, There were two reports from the special committee appointed for the —** of looking after prosecutions. his committee is composed of Arthur Klug, West End Business Men’s Asso- ciation; C. J. Anderson, South Broad- way Merchants and Manufacturers’ As- sociation; D. Eitzman, Tenth Ward Im- provement Association; George Emer- son, Twenty-sixth Ward Improvement Association, and Henry Loud, Eleventh Ward Improvement Association. The majority report favored proceed- ing along the lines already laid down. A minority report, introduced by Mr. Klug, caused a reostsy debate and brought out considerable: feeling. Mr. - Klug said that the prosecution of the United Railways Co. for failure to obey the ordinances was properly the busi- ness of the city authorities, and he sug- ested that the Association cease Its ef- orts in that direction. ere were sev- eral speakers who seemed of the same opinion at the beginning of the debate but when ic came to voting, nearly all deserted Mr. Klug, and the association decided to keep up its warfare. It was reported that Manager Mc- Culloch of the United Railways Co., who once refused iv meet a committee of the asBociation, had recently signi- fied his willingness to confer with rep- resentatives of the business men. Chairman Charles Ziebold reported that the Senate had passed the public utilities measure, and that the ouse committee had reporte? a similar bill, which he believed would pass.

Ridgely, Federal Comptroller of the Currency, is to succeed the late James H. Eckles as president of the Commer- clal National k, according to a per- sistent rumor which gained credence to- day both in Washington and Chicago. No official announcement of the choice of Mr. Ridgely was given out f | the directors of the bank, but many finan- cial men were inclined to put faith in the report. Mr. Eckles procured his financial reining as Comptroller of the United States reasury, having filled that position under President Cleveland. Until Mr. Bekies’ death, less than two weeks ago, three former comptrollers headed as man ae banks. The other two are Edward 8S.

land, whose body was taken from the river at the foot of Catalan street, near the mouth of the River des Peres Thursday, threw no light upon the mys- tery surrounding her death. James Laurie of 710 North Sixth street, East St. Louis, a brother, and his wife, testified at the inqucs. Satur- day morning that Miss Laurie was one of the happiest women that they had ever seen; that she had ample means to/live upon and travel, and that there whe no reason, that they knew of, why she should commit suicide. The Coroner ordered an autopsy to de- termine whether she had been drowned or the body had been thrown into the river after death. Six weeks ago, according to the testi- mony of Mr. and Mrs. Laurie, their sister visited their home in East St. Louls. She had just arrived from Den- ver. She remained at their home from li a. m. until 3 p.m. She was expecting to start at once for New York to sail for Scotland, where she owned consider- able real estate. She lived upon the in- come of her property, the estate being in the charge of her oldest brother. Supposed She Was in Old Country. Laurie, who is a freight delivery clerk for a railroad, said: “I thought my sis- ter had returned to Scotland. I saw her last about nine months ago, but she visited my home in East St. Louis about six weeks ago. I had not heard from her since, and of course supposed that she was in the Old Country by this time. “The first I knew of her being in the river was when a_ policeman came to my house about 8 p. m. Fri- day and asked me to come to the Morgue in St. Louis and identify my sister. With my wife I visited the Morgue and positively identified the ody. “My sister appeared to be the hap- piest woman in the world the last time I saw her. She came here short time before the World's Fair and over my vwrotest went into the boarding house business. There was no necessity for her doing anything of the kind, for the income from her property was ample for all of her needs. She opened a boarding house at 4115 Washington avenue, and had some trouble with the people who were interested with her. Suits are now pending for the. recovery of prop- erty which was unjustly taken from her. She then bought a boarding house at 4142 Cook avenue, and kept that during the latter part of the World's Fair ahd until some _ time during the next summer. She made uite a sum of money: during the air, but lost most of it afterwards. Went Home After Fair. “When she clos#d the Cook avenue house she returned to Scotland and re- mained there for a year. Then she de-

-

cided to travel again, and visited Can- ada, and the Western part of this coun- try. She was in Denver for a month or more before she came to St. Louis. “T had no idea that she had stopped in St. Louis and do not know where she has been living since she visited my home six weeks ago.’ Mrs. Laurie testified to practically the same facts. She said Miss Laurie was now cheerful during her recent visit, and spent some time describing her travels and how she had enjoyed them. She seemed to be greatly pleased at the prospect of returning to Scotland where she would be with her friends and relatives, Mrs. Laurie said. Herman Hoene, a letter carrier of 1820 Oregon avenue, a cousin of Miss Laurie, who first visited the Morgue and identi- fled the body, did not appear at the Coroner's office Saturday. oene stated previously that he read in the newspa- bers that a woman's body had been taken from the river, and thinking the lescription corresponded to that of ‘his cousin he visited the Morgue. He iden- tified the body, and later notified the ice and asked them to send for James urie. He said he knew nothing about how she came to be in the river. and Elizabeth he bod river, nesses, but they could give no informa- that threw any light on the mys- .

TAFT IS“ ONE BY FORAKER Roosevelt’s Candidate Wanted | Primaries in Ohio, but Won't Get Them. ] Special to the Post-Dispatch. CINCINNATI, O., April 27.—Secretary of War W. H. Taft arrived here at 6 o’clock this morning. His\every waking hour is to ke of the strictly strenuous order, according to the program ar- ranged for him here. Most of today he will be engaged with affairs pertaining to the meeting of the western division of Yale Clubs, of which he is presi- dent. Business sessions of the Yale men will occupy most of the early hours of the day and at night he will be toast- master at a banquet at the Southern Hotel and will deliver a set speech. Sunday he will make an ada- dress _at the corner-stone laying of a bee | . & C. A. building at Dayton,

and Monday night he will address the | Business Men’s Club of this city. There will be other less formal addresses~by the secretary during his stay here—on Chanse, at the Press Club, before the students of the ——— of Cincin- nati, and perhaps other minor speaking events. Editor Charles P. Taft de- Clared today that, insofar as he knows, politics will not be touched upon by his brother in public talks during his visit. In the controversy between the big War Secretary and Senator Foraker for the Presidential nomination, the Sena- tor’s forces apparently registered a de- cided point of advantage and won in the ‘maneuvering. This was the practical ‘acknowledgement today by Chairman | Walter F. Brown of the Republican , State Central Committee, that he was | Opposed to the holding of a primary for }expressing the choice of Ohio Republi- ‘cans as between\Taft and Foraker as , their standard-bearer. The holding of a primary in the immediate future is a point strongly conteded for by the Taft forces. Chairman Brown came here Friday from Columbus, where he held a con- ference with Taft managers. Chairman Brown held a protracted conference Friday before returning to his home in

It would be manifestly proper for the State Central Committee ‘to have entire charge of the manner of settling this controversy.

City Attorney Anderson, accompanied by a Pest-Dispatch reporter, visited slot machine shows in different parts of Bt. | Louis Friday afternoon. In nearly ev- Aery one he entered he found exhibi- tions of scenes so scandalous that he or- dered the managers to remove them at once, on pain of incurring a summons to court on the charge of violating the ordinances. Wherever the City Attorney entered and announced his errand, the managers assured him that their pictures had al- ready been “O K’'d’’ by detectives, but Mr. Anderson insisted upon taking a look for himself.

St. Louis holders. of the securities of the United States Independent Tel- ephone Co. of Rochester, N. Y., have not been notified that any suits have been filed against them or that any will be. Press dispatches from Ro- chester state that several of the St. Louis bondholders, including Benja- min Aitheimer, Adolphus Busch and Others, had been sued by the com- puny. Mr. Altheimer, with Breckinridge Jones, president of the Mississippi Val- ley Trust Co., and W. G. Lackey, bond , officer, are in Rochester Saturday at- tending a meeting of the bond and stock- holders. An effort is being made to straighten out the tangled affairs of the company, whose stock was sold in St. Louis at par in the fall of 196 and dropped down to 14 in less than a year, causing a loss tc St. Louis*security hold- ers of from $1,500,000 to $3,000,000. An effort was made recently to dis- pose of the holdings of the —S— long distance end of the Bell system. An offer, which aggregated about $35 for the stocks and bonds of the com- pany that were sold for $100 was made y the Bell company, but the plans to sell failed. Company Soon Failed. Several Rochester millionaires were interested in the company which bought out a few independent systems, and the Stromberg-Carlson telephone manu- facturing plant at Rochester, capitalized and bonded the company for $50,000,00 on about $6,000,000 or $8,000,000 of assets. In a few months the company failed. Dispatches from Rochester state that the meeting of the stock and bondhold- ers Saturday was largely attended. It was called by the committee that tried to dispose of the company’s proper- ties and securities to the Bell interests.

AUSTIN, Tex., April 27.—Jim Duna- way, one of the best known members of the State ‘Rangers ‘force, and H. L Robb, county attorney of Trinity County, were assassinated Friday at Groveton. The first news of the trag- edy received here was a telegram which Gov. Campbell received from R. O. Kinley, a prominent lawyer of Groveton, reading as follows: “Dun- away came in today and I had to shoot him. Send Capt. Hughes im- mediately.” A short time after receiving the above Gov. Campbell received the fol- lowing telegram from Dunaway: “Send Rangers at once. I was way- laid and shot all to pieces.” The Governor has sent Cant. "uehes and a detachment of Rangers to the scene of the tragedy. It stated that Robb is dead and that Dunaway is dying from his wounds. The trouble resulted from efforts of the State au- thorities to enforce the local option laws, WEDDED BY MAGISTRATE. That the guests might not be dis- appointed and the festal viands spolied by awaiting religious sanction for their wedding, Anton Dvorak and Emelie Boutlik of East St. Louis went to Belleville Saturday and, af- ter twice failing to find an official willing to perform the ceremony, were married by a magistrate. Their wedding was set for Saturday in the Lithuanian Church of Hast St. Louis. Through a misunderstanding the pastor ordered them to postpone the nuptials until next Monday. Meantime the guests had been invited, the banquet had been cooked and other preparations had been made for a week of celebra- tion. At the last moment the bride ar- rayed herself in white and the groom in his best garments. Then with bride- maid and groomsman, frelatives and friends, they went to Belleville in car- riages. Their first request was Judge Hay of the County Court. He could not be found. Then Probate Judge Perrin de- clined to act, ors that it was incom- patible with the dignity of his office. Magistrate Evans consented to perform the ceremony, but was unable to pro- duce a Bible, which the bridegroom de- manded as an accessory.

Mrs. Muir, who is the wife of an em- a of the City Dispensary, said her usband knew nothing of her wrong-do- ing and Mrs. Windsor said she was in- duced to steal because her husband has been out of work and she thought she might be able to dispose of the goods and get enough money to pay her rent. Mrs. Windsor came to visit her sister seven weeks ago. Before that time. both women agree, neither had ever thought of taking anything that did not belong to them. But from the day that Mrs. Windsor arrived in St.Louis both have been visiting the big stores in St. Louis and between them have car- ried away property which the police és- timate to be worth $100. Mrs. Windsor is chi.d'ess. She fainted in the Fourt Courts aturday when the charges were read to her, and when she was revived was inconsolable because she said she feared to meet her husband.

President Savs It Is Leading to Extinction of Animal, Lodges of the Elks throughout the country are being urged to instruct their delegates to the annual national convention to be held in Philadelphia

i" teeth has been going on for years. July 15 to 2, to vote against the con- tinuance of the elk’s tooth as an offictal emblem of the order. A communication was read before the East St. Louis lodge of Elks Friday ‘night in which President Roosevelt was ' quoted as objecting to the further use of the elk’s tooth as the official em- blem of the order because it was threat- ening the extinction of the elks in the United States. Secretary Jules Bertero of the 8t. Louis lodge of Elks, when asked about ‘the matter, said: “The agitation against the use of elks’ But the elk’s tooth is not the official em- blem of our order. The horns are. But a great many elks' teeth are worn and it is a fact that many elks are killed by persons who extract the teeth and let the carcasses lie where they are killed. Cur lodge has received an officia] com- munication on the subject in which a letter written by President Roosevelt against the killing of elks is included.”’ Owing to the popularity of elks’ teeth with members of the various lodges of Elks, it is said that the teeth have be- come scarce and that it sometimes costs $9 or $10 to get one. The same communication has been sent to all the Eiks lodges throughout the countty by Henry A. Melvin the grand exalted ruler, who lives at Oak- land, Cal. It encloses a copy of the let- ter President Roosevelt wrote him urg- ing that steps be taken to prevent fur- ther slaughter of elks to secure elk's teeth. Mr. Melvin made no recommendation in the matter, but placed it before the lodges fof their information. The East St. Louls lodge, after hear- ing the letter read, inetructed its dele- gate, J. B. Maguire, to vote against any further use of the elk's tooth as an em-

blem of the order. New Pastor Is Detained. Dr. Fayette L. Thompsen of Minne- apolis. newly appotnt pastor of the Lindell Avenue M. . Church, wired that congregation to the effect that his father and mother, who are both advanced in years, are critically if ard can live but a few da T pson

EXPERTS QUIZ, WEINSBERG Boy Who Shot Father Being Given Severe Investigation by Physicians, The commission of sanity experts appointed by Judge Moses N. Sale to in- quire into the present mental condition of Oscar J. Weinsberg, 17 years old, charged with shooting his father, Dr. vulius J. Weinsberg. is expected to re- port in writing early next week. The commission is conducting its ex- amination in the office of Dr. Sidney Schwab, Vanol Building, Vandeventer avenue and Olive street! Fearing that young Weinsberg is too weak mentally to be at large, Circuit Attorney Sager, after Judge Sale had released the prisoner under a $5000 bond, requested the court to place the defendant under the obser- vation of a sanity commission. Judge Bass, representing Weinsberg, agreed and three physicians were appointed Weinsberg, who is stopping at the home of his grandmother on Park avenue, has paid three visits to the office of Dr. Schwab during the past week. He has been subjected to a most searching inquiry both as to his mental and physical condition. The history of his life and his family has been gone into minutely and his ac- tions have been closely observed. If the physicians report that Weins- berg is insane, his attorney will de- mand a commission de quirendo and will object to any action being taken on the mere written re- | port of the commi<<'non Weinsberg contends that he is per- fectly sane at the present time. He reads the papers every day and regu- larly attends the ball games. While refusing to state fense will be offered in the event Weinsberg is declared sane and is laced on trial, Judge Bass states that n his opinion the defendant was in an abnormal state of mind at the time he shot his father, six weeks ago.

This unexpected solution of the knotty problem, of whom he could possibly use — the men of Lajole, did much to soften the blow of yesterday's defeat and has served the useful effect of re- plenishing the Brewns’ manager's store of optimism, which was beginning to run very low. As Pelty will not be needed in St. Louis tomorrow he will copeee Killian this afternoon in the last game of the present series, and McAleer is hopeful of winding it up with a victory and of starting his home games with one win to urge him along. Detroit’s victory in yesterday's game was chiefly owing to young Willett’'s grand pitching. Howell opposed ,him and, while he pitched a very creditable game, the youngster had all the bet- ter of the Ult. and it was the Browns’ inability to solve his delivery that re- sulted in the Tigers’ victory. The Browne scored firet in the sec- ond inning on hits by Jones and Yea- ger and an error by Coughlin.

Are Scared at Trifling Ills, but Quiet When Real Suffer- ing Comes. “IT served on the United States hospi- tal corps through the Spanish-American War and put in 18 months’ practice in Panama,” said Dr. F. J. Riley, the Chicago physician, “but the strangest years of my life have been the past four seasons I have served as head phy- sician of Ringling Brothers’ circus. “My duties as physician are not ar- duous, though I am kept pretty busy with bruises and sprains and now and then a broken limb or fractured bone. Cireus folk are naturally healthy, but like the usual run of perfectly well peo- ple, they stand in the greatest dread of sickness. I have had magnificent speci- mens of physical health come with wry faces into my Office, firmly. convinced that they were in the early stages of decline: so much of my time is occnu- pied from 10 in the morning till 4 in the afternoon sitting at my desk, prescrib- ing to the imaginary ills of the men whose health I envy. “It is a great mistake to be frank with these patients. I go upon the rinciple that the man who imagines uimself sick, needs medicine, and a few harmless pellets will work wonders. When such men are really in need of medical attention they show the least concern. | recall one aerialist who fell from the dome of the tent, and on the way down tore a —_ piece of flesh from his arm on a sharp steel projection on the lower rigging. He was pretty badly bruised when they brought him into my tent. When I suggested using cocaine on the wound to deaden the pain he laughed and satfd: pe Ne ver mind the dope, Doc, and get busy.

They are for the most part well-read and they profit by the advantages of their extensive travel. Many of the men are college bred, hav- ing found their way to the circus through college athletics. “TI am far from the opinion that cir- cus life is demoralizing.

The benefit to a man's health cannot be overestimated.

MOTHER HELPS HER SUE She Stays at Home of Peter Kratz While Seeking Her Freedom. Through a tangle of relationship Mrs. Pella Kratz, aged 17, is se@Kking divorce from John Kratz, who is at once her husband and her step-uncle. This kin- ship resulted from the marriage of Mr¢. Kratz’s mother and Peter Kratz, a bro- ther of the defendant. While the young- er Mrs. Kratz is prosecuting her suit for divorce she is staying at the home of Peter Kratz, her stepfather and brother- in-law, and his wife, who is her mother and her sister-in-law. ‘The family live at 3267 Regal avenue, near the Poor- house. In her petition; which, as she is a minor, is filed by her mother Mrs. Ado- lena Kratz, as her next friend, Mrs. Bella Kratz alleges that her husband deserted her April 3, 1906, and that she has not since seen him.

At the time of Kratz’s departure he was employed as a laborer in the Blackmer & Post Pipe Co.’s plant. He said nothing to his fellow workmen when he left and none of his relatives has heard from him, according to Mrs. Adolena Kratz, for more than a year. Mrs. Bella Kratz was married Jan. 24, 1906, when she was 16 vears old. Her mother became Mrs. Kratz several! years ago. Before that she was Mrs. Adolena Angell, a widow. Her daugh- ter petitions for the restoration of her maiden name, Bella angell. Mrs. Adolena Kratz didn’t think the queer twist of relationship between herself, her daughter and her husband was very strange. “There isn't any relationship of blood between my daughter and her hus- band,”’ she said to a Post-Dispatch re- porter Saturday. ‘‘No, I'm nota rela- tive of Charlie Kratz.

Niemes, Elected Treasurer, Re- fuses to Give Up His Town- ship Qffice.

TWO ASSESSMENTSLIKELY

Retiring Assessor Rents Ware- house and Starts His Can- vass of Property. Monday morning Assessor John Niemes of East St. Louis wiil open an office at 22 North Main street, East St. Louis, and, assisted by 15 deputies, will begin to make the assessment of East Bt. Monday afternoon, ac- cording to City Attorney M. V. Joyce, a resolution will be presented to the City Council declaringy the office of Assessor vacant and appointing a successor to Mr. Niemes, This will be the beginning of a con- troversy over the assessorship which may result in two assessments of East St. Louis property this year by rival as- sessors. If Mr. Niemes refuses to deliv- er the assessment books to his successor after the office is declared vacant by the City Council, Joyce says that a quo war- ranto proceeuing will be instituted to oust him. The cause of tne trouble was the elec- tion of Assessor Niemes as City Treas- urer at the recent municipal election. He was elected assessor last year, but does not make the assessment until this year. One week after he oegins the assess- ment he will enter upon his duties as treasurer. It is claimed that he will then be holding two city offices at the same time which ts contrary to the Illi- nois law. Niemes claims that the as- sessorship is a towns..ip office and Is not in conflict with the statte. Won't Give Up Books, Niemes savs he wiil refuse to give up the books if a successor is appointed, and will make the assessment regardiss of the City Council's action. He says and will make the assessment regardless Council refuses to confirm them gr pro- vide for their payment. About #4 days are required to complete ..¢ assessment, and the deputies are allowed $5 per day. The deputy hire will amount to about 33000 in making the assessment. As the salary allowed bv law to the assessor is only $1000, exc!usive of deputy hire, Mr. Niemes may have to wear out sever»! lead pencils trying to figure out how he ean pay his deputies and make an? money out of the transaction. The assessment’ made this year wiil stand for four years under the Illincis law. The assessors for the next three years will simply correct the lists az to property which ts improved during the year. This is causing East St louis taxpayers to take an interest in the matter. They are not anxious to have this Important assessment mede by rival assessors during a heated con- East St. Louis ts a township in itself. the township Hmits andthe city Iim- its being the same. The City Council exercises the functions of township of- ficers as well as for the city. It has authority to confirm and pay the deputy assessors. After Mr. Niemes was eleci- ed City Treasurer the Council refused to confirm his list of deputies, claim- ing that by filing his bond as Cily Treasurer he vacated the office of As- sessor. This caused his announcement that he would appoint and pay his own deputies. The Assessor's office is in the base- ment of the City Hall. Niemes refuses io accept accommodations in the City Hall, which are kept up at the ex- pense of the city. He has rented the storeroom at 22 North Main street and will ignore the city officials. If the City Assessor, he will take possession of the office in the City Hall and demand the books from Mr. Niemes, whose refusal to deliver them will probably set t legal machinery of the courts in ac- tion.

At. rw PUBLIC. VERSUS PERSONAL ENDS. Revising his statements to the press concerning the dismissal of Dr. Schercy and Assistant Health Commissioner Francis, Health Commissioner Bond now says that the main charge was disloy- alty —disloy alty to him and to the administration. The test 6f the valne of employes in, public of- fice is loyalty to the public interests, efficiency in the public service. Office-politics does not inter- est the public and ought not to have any part in the running of a public office. The only ‘kindof flisloyalty which ‘can be made the basis of dis- charge, is opposition to plans or policies designed to benefit the public. There ought to be co-opera- tion in all public offices, but the basis of co- operation is harmony in efficient public work. The tangle in the Health Department is -un- fortunate, especially in the fact that the trouble in the office and with the Council seems to be pri- marily due to differences with regard to personal ends rather than public official ends. The strength of Dr. Bond’s original defense lay in his state- ment that he wanted to clear his department from the influence of the United Railways aiid Bd But- ler. Disloyalty to himself is not a good substi- tute. — e Unpreparedness at the opening, which is the bane of expositions, seems to be extreme-in the case of the Janiestown show. It appears to be wholly unprepared.

Henderson announces that ‘“‘the world’s intellectual and moral problems can never be solved until women do their share of the world’s thinking.” So he advises them to proceed at once to study “the deepest books”. in German, French and Latin, ang to “read the New Testa- ment in Greek.” It will take some time to carry out this pro- gram.. In the meantime, the trust price of petro- jleum continues “firm” when it is needed by Mis- 1 souri women, as well as by women In Illinois and other adjacent states.

The new order of things Mrs. Bruce has pictured in the life of the Berney fam, ily, “in the heart of the Black Belt of Alabama.’ ‘‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin of To- day’’ is a delightful story. a A — FOOL KILLER 3 X * Drawn for the Post-Dispatch By RB.

ADVICE 10 RHEUMATICS Noted Physician Tells How to Prevent and Cure Rheumatism, and Bladder Troubles. (By George Edmund Flood, M. D.) If you would avoid Rheumatism and Kidney and Bladder Troubles be mod- erate in the consumption of heavy, rich foods, substitute as far as ible soups, broths, fresh milk, a water—lots of water. Take plenty of time to eat, and don’t eat after you have had enough, even if it does taste good. If your work is confining take a moderate amount of exercise each day in the open air. Of course, neither diet, water, rest nor exercise will cure these afflictions. I advise them as preventives only. For the benefit of the readers of this arti- cle who are now Afflicted with Rheu- matism, Kidney, Bladder or Urinary trouble, and desire to be cured quickly, I give below, complete in every detail, the famous prescription which has made me so successful in the treatment of these diseases. It is the most cer- tain cure for these diseases that I have ever used. It is pleasant to take, it is not expensive, it can be filled by any ee eat See rey mean Se RoR etn medals drink | Japan. Sometimes we can trace them back four or five t years, and find that the very _and phrases have scarcely changed in that time. Our jingle of “The House That Jack Built” is almost identical with the — * ual which the head of every Jewish | family recites on the eve of the Pabe- over. His ancestors got it from Baby- lon twenty-five or thirtf centuries ago, and no human being can even guess how old it was then.

DR. WM_TA UssiG HALF CENTURY OF LIFE TOGETHER Dr. and Mrs. William Taussig to Celebrate Their Golden Wedding,

FAMILY STILL UNBROKEN —— oo Prominent in 8t. Louis Life Ever Since Coming to City. Dr. and Mrs. William Taussig, more than fifty years residents of St. Louis, in celebration of their marriage May 3, 1857, have issued invitations to their golden wedding, May 3, 1907, at their Lafayette avenue home. The golden wedding ceremony will be performed before all of the children and grandchildren of the couple, there hav- ing been no deaths in the immediate family and only one in close relation- ship. There will be twenty persons di- rectly related: Dr. and Mrs. Taussig, their three married children and four children of each couple. The dlidest son is Frank W. Taussig, professor of political economy in Har- vard University. He was a graduate of Washington University in St. Louis. Dr. Taussig came to St. Louis in 1848. As a young physician, he served the city in the cholera epidemic in 1849, acting as assistant physician and apothecary at quarantine. He afterward established a medical practice at Carondelet and was elected Mayor in 1852. It was during his resi- dence in Carondelet that he met and married his wife, Miss Adele Wuerpel, of St. Louis. It was a few years before the Civil War that Dr. Taussig was elected Judge of the St. Louis County Court, he was subsequently re-elected and later was made Presiding Justice, from which office he resigned in 18665. Head of Terminals Many Years, Dr. Taussig was the first president of the ‘‘Traders’ Bank,”’ later became in- terested with Capt. James B. Eads in building the Eads Bridge over the Mis- sissippi. This was followed by the ap-

| poinsinent as general manager of the St. ouis Bridge Co., the Tunnel Railroad Co.. all of which were ultimately com- ‘bined under the general ownership and control of the Terminal Ratlroad Asso- ciation of St. Louis, with Dr. Taussig as president. His enfgies were devoted to perfect- ing the terminal system and to building the present Union Depot, which is the finest railway station in the world. Mrs. Taussig has, in all the years of her husband’s eventful career, devoted her time to making and keeping her home a place of comfort. “You see I care little for society,’’ Mrs. Taussig said in gag of the 50 years of her married “and I have, always found plenty of interest in my home and my children. There have been troubles, but looking back over half a century, it has been a good life to live and my golden wedding anniversary seems a fitting celebration of the hap- piness of our unbroken family and of our residence in St. Lours for more than fifty years. Dr. Taussig is 81 years old, but both he and his wife are still very active. ROOMER KILLS HIMSELF. Brother of Fred Fries Will Be Sought, Search is being » dae for the broth- er of Fred Fries, who shot and killed himself in his room at 2108 Olive street. Fries ed the room a week ago. Mrs. Grace Bryant, proprietress of the house, discovered the suicide. «z.t noon Friday she went to the room to clean it. Fries was lying on the bed with his clothes on, apparently sieep- ing. Unwilling to disturb him, she left the room and did not return until the middle of the afternoon. When 'gshe opened the door the sesoend time 4.the body was still in the same posi- ‘tion. She entered and then ree that he had a reyoiver in his ht hand and she saw the wound in % temple. = B, F, ee Dies. n acordance wit bis expres wish, the body of Dr. BR F.

Is ne “knows litte, except that on din con riod. At the present time there is no little uneasiness as to the outcome of the winter wheat crop, and beyond any deubt the latter has suffered very se- rious damage, in several states, nota- bly those in the Southwest. Chis:tact is better a.ested in the al- most unanimous reports coming from reliable sources than in the course of prices for wheat in the Chicago market, although a substantial advance has also taken place there. Crop scares are or- ‘dinary phenomena of this season of the vear, more especially when.Wall street ‘has other things in addition to worry about, and many months must elapse before the actual out-turn of the har- vest can be estimated and submitted to valuation. With. the. adjournment from time to time of the various State Legislatures Suil in session, the financial situation will be in a measure freed from one | constant source -of irritation, notwith- ‘standing. that much damage has already been wrought and the end cannot be said as yet to be in view. , The Globe’s Review. ° The Globe savas. Occasionally a Sat- urday bank statement serves for little except as a topic of debate between people who disagree as to what its sev- eral items mean, and today’s statement was of that sort. ° Without passing gment on the statement of today as an index to the real bank yosition, it may safely be said that nobedy in the banking community undertook to explain the decrease in loans. The “shifting” Pema ~ os from outside lenders to the New York associated banks, appears to have continued, At any rate, neither the exchange rates on London nor exchange on interior cities has indicated this week any reversal of the movement. There has, moreover, been no “Stock Ex- change liquidation” to release loans in such quantity as to offset the “shifting” process. t winter, when mysterious week- ly reports of this sort were made, the avorite explanation was that loans } ae carried by Wall Street were turned over to Western institutions, or to Huropean tenders, or to trust companies in this city. As the event has proved, this expla- nation was correct, but the reasons for the movement were that Wall street could borrow cheaper elsewhere than at home and that the trust companies, when the call money rate rose to 10 and 25 and per cent, lost no time in lending out money -of their own which they had left with the banks for a rental of 2 per cent. At present nd such inducements ap- tye At this week’s rates, the cheapest cé fer the borrower is a Wall street bani . a trust tompanies have no ap- nt cause whatever for relieving the fae take of loans. ~ ‘BEwentng Post's Review. The Bvening Post says: : The persistency with which the rail- way men in particular insist that the campaign against. the railways is the sitigle cause for the absence of public enthusiasm ever investments illustrates this curious point of view.
