COMPANY WINS —— TRUST

For Four Hours the ‘‘America” Withstands Rush of Depositors.

CORTELYOU TO RESCUE, (BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.) NEW YORK, Oct. 23.—The Sec- retary of the Treasury today made large deposits in local banks. He is in close touch with the present situation in this city and believes he will be able to cope with it. It was not possible to learn the amount of Government funds de- posited today.

—— rs

ee ee (BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.) NEW YORK, Oct. 2..—A _ distinctly favorabie tone was evident in Wall street at 2 o’clock this afternoon, following the announcement that Secre- tary Cortelyou of the Treasury Depart- ment had made deposits of Government funds-in New York banks. The stock market had been holding better all day than nad been expected and the fact that the Trust Company of America had withstood the rush of Jepositors to withdraw money for four hours, without difficulty, was an addi- tional encouraging factor. [t wag-elso tegarded as a good sign that there had not been a run on any other financial in- titution today and that banks generally were transacting business in 2 norma: manner. 3 The improvement in the stock market between 1 and 2 o’clock was especially noteworthy, some of the weakest fea- tures of the morning hours rallying tharply. The high rates for money more -around 1 o'clock were without effect on the stock market quotations. Prices improved materially between i ind 2 0 clock, and a few of the standard railroad stocks returned to their best prices of the forenoon. Confidence was restored in a measure by the support to the electric stocks. Genera! Electric ral- ied 9 points and Westinghouse Electric |. Delaware & Hudson also ratlied 7 and ihe general market from 1 to 3 points. Slumped at Opening. The opening of the stock market gav2 evidence of demoralization, but the se- vere presture converged on but a few -stocks. The range of the decline in many of the active stocks was restrict- ed to a point. Union Pacific ran off b's, dropping a point between sales, with a subsequent rebound from 107'; to 109. The New York papers take a cheerful view of the situation. Editorially the World says: “Let there be no dodging of the is- sue. Frenzied finance is the culprit at the bar. He is no patriot, but little of a financier, who rails at honest meas- gres to cure admitted ills.’’ The Times says: “The process through which the finan- tial institutions of New York are pass- Ing is a strenuous but healthy one. It will do good in the end, and the more roolly and steadily it is taken the less will be the inconveniences and the soon- er it will be over.”’ The Herald says: “With the aid of treasury funds to fase the monetary situation and the in- evitable buying by shrewd bargain hunt- ers, there will be a speedy relaxation of the strain and the creation of a mar- ket which will permit of the conver- sion of good securities.”’ The first s.W) sharx ot fHiudson sold at a decline of 9, which was extended to 11 points. Northern Pacific dropped 4, Atchison 2%, Brook- ivn Transit 3, Great Northern preferred ' Reading, Atlantic Coast Line, Louis- ville & Nashville, National Lead and Mackay companies 2, Southern Railway preferred 1%, American Smelting 144, U. S&S. Steel preferred 1%, and Amalga- mated Copper 14%. American Snuff soli at a decline of 4% points. Westinghouse Electric sold down to 6) at the New York Stock Exchange, a de- ‘line of 19% from last night. Prices Rally, Then Slump. In a raily which followed the opening. Amalgamated Copper and American Bmelting ‘vent up to a parity with yes- terday’s closing. Delaware & Hudson cecovered 5% and the rest of the list 1 to 1%. Violent liquidation in some of the less active stocks started renewed selling all around, and Reading, St. Paul, and some other favorites sold lower than at the outset. The market showed evidence of support. Westinghouse’ Electric fropped 19% to 60, New York Air Bank 5, General Electric 6%, Northwestern preferred, Republic Stee) preferred Gen- Delaware & | BONTINUED ON FAGD §, COLUMN ¢

Fighting a strong north wind, which frequently carried him out of his course, Thomas Baldwin set the pace for the airship racers at Forest Park by Start and completing the course in 15 minutes in the California Arrow. The distance is about one mile. He made the turn at the Blair omnument with remarkable ease and precision; and scudded home in front of the wind, which at one time carried him nearly 40 miles an hour. Dipping below the brisk air currents, he stood his machine almost on its nose as he finished, but he landed safe- lv.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. AUSTIN, Tex., ‘Oct. 2.—The Court of Civil Appeals, Third District, today af- firmed the District Court in the suit, naming a receiver to take charge of the Waters-Pierce Oil Co. property. The action of the Court of Appeals means that the appointment of a re- ceiver to take charge of the Waters- Pierce property pending the result tn the ouster and penalty sult was proper. The of Civil Ap- peals today is final. Receiver Robert F. Eckhard ot Tyler, who was appointed by District Judge V. Lebrooks, will take charge of the property of the corporation just as soon as the Court’s mandate is issued, which will be in a few days.

Hochdoerfer, caused the death 13- year-old Thomas O'Neil], a son of Mrs Ellen O'Neil of 1020 Papin street, died in the City Hospital at 11 a. m. Tuesday. Under the direction of the Coroner Dr. Hochdoerfer performed an autopsy on the boy’s body Wednesday and later reported that death had sulted from ‘‘chloroform narcosis.” O’Nei! was taken to the hospital Aug. “0, suffering from a wound on the head caused by a blow with a baseball bat. There was a contusion an inch long over his left eve and a fracture of the frontal bone of the skuil.

Dr. Hochdoerfer told a reporter for the Post-Dispatch that there was no cor- flict between his report and that of Dr. Kirchner with regard to the cause | of death. “Patients die every now and then un- der the influence of anesthetics ip spite of all the surgeons can do,”’ said Dr. Hochdoerfer. ‘In such cases the phneumogastric nerve is paralyzed. This nerve goes from the brain to the stom- ach, lungs and heart. If the lungs only are paralyzed the patient may be re- stored by artificia] respiration. But if the heart is paralyzed death is certain and immediate.”’ Dr. Jules Baron, the Coroner, will hold | an iuquest to ascertain if respousibility atiaches to anyone at the City Hospi- | tal.

KEPT NEAR THE EARTH ‘No Explanation Yet as to Why the Descent Was Made.

Satisfied with having mate the Ben- nett cup race truly an internationul cou- test, Maj. Henry B. liersey, piiot of the balloon United States, started Hamilton, Ont:, Wednesday for his hoine in Milwaukee. In his cruise from St. Louis, lasting 2% hours and 10 minutes, he cros-e: Lakes Michigan, St. Clair and Erie and reached Caledonia, Ont., 645 miles from St. Louis. He landed there at 6:15 p. b. Tuesday. The achievement of Maj. Hersey and his companion, Atherholt, far exceeds the record of the cup-winning cruise of eCoy and Chandler last week, and makes Lieut. Lahm's performance of last year, in which Hersey assisted, seem like an afternoon's jaunt. It is believed to exceed all American records except the | long distance and almost legendary flight He went 870 miles, is uSually pub- of John Wise in 1859. although the distance lished at 1150. “Fly Low,’ His Motto, “Fly low,’ was Hersey’s motto. «nd his practice of keeping ne@r to earth not only saved ballast, but placed him in an air current which carried him Yarther north than any of his competi- tors. _ He passed north over Illinois Monday night, following his ascension at 4:05 Pp. m., and Tue-day morning, hovering close to earth, passed near Chicago. At Zion City he was so low that he Was thought to be about to land, and talked with residents of the late Dowie's community. He crossed the lake, in the fashion of a midsummer excu:zijon- fat, to South Haven, then skimmed over Southern Michigan, following nearly the main line of the Michigan Central tKail- road, over Kalamazoo and Ann Arbor to Detroit. — j; At 3:30 Tuesday afternoon he passed Chatham, Ont. From this place, which is in a southern projection of the prov- | ince, he was carried over the northern part of Lake Erie to the country about Hamilton. From Caledonia, which is a small town on the Grand Trunk Railroad, he telegraphed soon after landing to his as- sistant in the Milwaukee Weather Bu- reau: Had a Fine Trip. “Had fine trip across Lakes Michi- gan, St. Clair and Erie. Expect to start home tomorrow.” It is believed that Hersey was im- pelled to descend by the fact that Lake Ontario, at its greatest length, lay directly before them, and that the aero- nauts feared their gas was not equal! to the demands of the chilling night ride over the vast body of water. ; anne ee ae

HEARING. BEGUN HN CRAIN. RATES , vw

‘Merchants’ Exchange Traffic Bureau Alleges Discrimination by

Railroads.

Interstate Commerce Commissioner Prouty heard evidence in the Federal Building Wednesday on the complaint | of the Traffic Bureau of the Merchants’

Exchange against the Missouri Pacific, | Burlington, Rock Island, Frisco and Mis- 'souri, Kansas & Texas railroads for an alleged discrimination against St. Louis in grain rates “from Missouri River points. The Traffic Bureau complains that the railroads allow an elevator refund of % of a cent per hundred pounds on Kansas City, Oma- ha and other Missouri River points which is not allowed here. The bureau has requested the Interstate Commerce Commission to order a reduction of % of a cent in the through rate to put St. Louis on an equal footing, in the wit the Missouri River

shipments through matter of rates, grain centers. The through rate Nebraska points to same, whether the shipments stop in Kansas City or Omaha. If the grain passes through an elevator there is a refund of three-quarters of a cent. The St. Louis grain men desire to have the rate lowered so that they will get the benefit of this refund, which ts not al}- lowed here. George H. Crosby, traffic manager of the Burlington, was the first witness. He declared that there was no discrimi- nation against St. Louis in the matter grain rates from Missouri River points, and that grain traffic had in- creased 5 per cent between St. Louis from Kansas St. Louis is the Os

on the positive guarantee that if it does not give satis- faction we will return the entire amount of money paid us for it. We mean this— and ask all those who are sick and need strength to try it with this understanding. Wolff-Wilson Drug Co. St. Leuts, Mo.

POT LOSER SLAYS WINNER AT CARDS 1 AS Man Who Had Gained Others’ Money Slept, His Death Was Planned. READING, Pa., Oct. 15.—The cruelties of the Middle Ages are pictured anew in the confession of the who killed one of their companions in a hut near Monocacy.. The five men lived in hut, were playing a game of cards. One their number, Benanzio Di Chivaroli, came out ahead of the game. Succumb- ing to the influence of the liquor of which all had been drinking freely, Chivaroli lay down on a bunk to sleep and dreain of his good fortune. While he soundly slumbered the other gamblers talked things over.. They de- cided that they had been cheated. And atter discussing the game and its result they came to. the conclusion that the comrade who had won their money should die. As all were equally aggrieved, it was decided to draw lots to determine which should dispateh Di Chevaroli. The mur- derous joh fell to Donatio Babrizio. Then, while his three comrades looked calmly on, Babrizio is alleged to have taken his knife and slashed the sleeping Di Chivaroli in the abdomen, arms and leg. This done, the body was dragged from the sheck und laid in the yard, where it was found some time later by fellow countrymen. As Di Chivaroil was still alive. he was brought to the Read- ing Hospital, where two days later he died. After the crime the murderer and his accomplices fled. The State police at once got to work. Palciaie was arrested in New York City while trying to get out of the country. Some time after his arrest the names of Babrizio’s accomplices . were learned and they were caught. the and —-— ————— —_————— Haase Unecda Weeda Excel the most exceilent 5c cigar.

LFGISL ATURES OF TRIBES IN ~ LAST SESSION ‘Indians Are Preparing for Statehood and Their Citizenship. CAUSES MUCH REGRET

Fullbloods Unreconciled to Changes Forced Upon Them.

» ALSO WISE LAWMAKERS

Each Tribe Has Capitol for the National Business They Transact.

MUBKOGEEF, I. T.. Oct. 23.—Full of historic interest are the meetings of the Indian legislatures which are now in session in three of the five civilized nations. The other two legislatures will convene before the montb closes. This is the final national action of each In- dian nation as a political entity. In each nation the old Indlans who have been legislators for many years are do- ing their utmost to effect as complete a settlement of affairs as possible while they have a national] voice. The state hood proclamation sounds the death knell ef Indian legislation of the five civilized tribes. The Creek Legislature is one of the oldest and probably the most typical of Indian legislatures. It is popularly known as the Council, Chief Moty Tiger is presiding at this ses’ion. He succeed- ed to the office at the death of Pleas- ant Porter. In his annual message to the Council, Chief Tiger sets forth those things which confront the Indian in his unsettied estate. He calls attention to the authority of the chief to deliver deeds and says 37,- 386 deeds have been executed to Creek citizens and of this number 27,160 have been delivered, leaving 10,336 yet to be delivered. There are two deeds to each allottee, one for his homestead and ene for his surplus land. The chief urges every Indian who has not secured: his deed to do so at once. There are 4000 of these deeds that have been uncalled for in the office of the chief for three years. National Capitol to Be Preserved. As soon as the Indians settled in this country they at once established a capl- tal. The Creek capital is at Okmulgee, the Cherokee at Tahlequah, the Choctaw at Tuskahoma, the Chickasaw at Tisko- mningo, and the Seminole at Wewoka. In each place a Capitol Building was erected and there the Indian laws were BOY AERONAUT FLYING, SHOWING HOW HE PROPELS SKY BICYCLE

enacted by a House of Kings and a House of Warriors. These Capitol buildings are especially dear to the Indians, as they represent their national life more than any other institution, and in every nation there will be made an effort to preserve these buildings and the ground around them as a monument to the original settlers of Indian Territery, who in these places formed constitutions and established laws modeled after the United States, and placed the Indians on a plane of civilization with the white man and earned for themselves the title, ‘‘The Five Civilized Tribes.’’ In the old stone Capitel Building at Okmulgee, the Creek legislators have met for 3 years. Okmulgee has been the capital of the Creek Nation since 1868, when the first council house, a log structure, was built on the sit of the present building. The previous year the council met at Deep Fork River,

three miles west of Okmulgee, and there formed a constitution which teok away from the “town kings’’ much ef their power and vested dt in the Indian courts. Im earlier days a “‘town king’ was the

practical ruler of his town, or commu- nity, and settled practically all internal affairs in his clan. He was judge, jury and executioner. Had Police Force Also. When the Indian courts were estab- lished, there was also created the Indian Light Horse, and this was the police force of the Indian Nation. Prior to removing from the Southland to this country, the Indians held thir councils under circular brush arbors and at night ; they slept on the rude benches. Some- times these places were cleared and the Indian ceremenial dances were also held there.

LONDON, Oct. 23.—Snakes are com- | ing inte great demand in this city as pets fer society children, accerding to u dealer in animals. They are not ex- ensive, the highest price being about 1.75. Green frogs, torteises and liz- ards of bright hues are also greatly favered and a large department store makes many sales in them. As te degs, the Pekinese and Japan- ese spaniels»are still favorites, although Pomeranians are beceming popular. Fex and Irish terriers are still great 'pets and the market is hardly able te 'keep up with the demand. This is at- tributed to their small size, which en- . ables the wemen to carry them in their ;arms on their shopping tours.

Mr. MANY BASEBALLS USED IN A YEA Great Skill Is Required in the Making of Perfect Spheres for National Game. oe FLAWLESS Measured Seven Times—Somie Interesting Facts. SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Oct. 2.—It probably never has occurred to you as you sat on the bleachers or grand stands that an enormous amount of baseballs are used every season by the league clubs, college nines and independent clubs. Some expert out West ventured to guess that 30,000 nice white balls were sent to their doom in one season by the 16 clubs of the American and National Leagues. No one has at- tempted to guess how many all the other nines throughout the country use in one season, and nothing but a guess could be secured by him who scouts for the statistics. But for those who want to get a half idea it may be stated that any league clu} major er minor, uses from 20 to 60 dozer c«. balis in one season. The majors use more than the minors, but he is certainly a manager for small details who could tell you the exact number of balls which his club uses in one campaign. The manager buys his balls much cheaper than you think he does, and he will probably figure by the dozen when he takes the census of his supply of ammunition. His unit {s the dozen, and though he is not tossing the globes at the sparrows, he’ll be sat- isfied if he knows that he has so many dozen on hand. Twenty Dozen a Season. In the Connecticut League about twenty dozen a season is the average amount which a club manages to use, though some of the teams may use evan twenty-five or thirty dozen, dependiug probably in part on the amount of friends who seek souvenirs from the managers. The league adopted a rule recently requiring the home team to furnish the umpire with three Immacu- late spheres and three second-hand ones in good condition at the beginning of every game. But the fact that there must be three new balls on hand ata certain park three or four times a week will not lead you anywhere if you at- tempt to figure from this the amount used up. It takes more than one game to -put a ball out of commissior. Still there are times when the round things will wing away from the coop. Then balls are lost vaulting over fences and 101 other ways, and the fact is that the genera] consumption is very large. The average amount secured by the eight managers of the clubs for one Season varies from 150 to 250 dozen, which is probably just half the supply that one of the major leagues uses. The American: Association has a rule requiring 16 new balls for every game, and it is figured that each club in that circuit sends 50 dozen to the dump every season.: The Western Association 1s credited with smashing 35 dozen to each club in a season. One who has followed the vital statistics of the curved and walloped figures that each one of the American League clubs batters from 40 te 50 dozen of baseballs out of existence in their chases for the pennants. One man says that the New York and Chicago teams use sixty dozen each a season, and places an average of nine balis a game for every matinee on the home grounds. American League teams are very likely to tess eut brand new ammunition when the umpire announces a shortage, and of course this en: courages an ipvcrease in the population of the ball. It is figured that an Hast- ern League club will get away with thirty dozen a season, and ten to fifteen dozen is placed as the amount for the small league teams. Of course, the number of baseball nines in the land is constantly increas- ing, leagues are becoming more nu- merous and the game is being played as it never was before. It is next to impossible to attempt to get an esti- mate of the number of balls used in one season by all teams, so many are the clubs that are playing. ‘They are rlayineg the game in a few more places besides Holyoke, Glan Orchard, and they’ll some day when Ludlow is the locus quo for the real city sports. Down in South America big shipments of »dase- balls are received, and there are also big amount of exports to the Phil- ippines, Cuba and other distant lands. The making of a ball to bang around the lots requires more skill and care than the average fan imagines. The tall must be & perfect sphere of a cer- tain weight and circumference, and any slip up in the early stages of its build- ing will throw it completely out of kilter at the finish. OPPOSING TEAM: POUNCES UPON TEDDY JR. AS CURE FOR HIS “SWELLED HEAD” Exeter Academy Football Players Quickly Send President’s Son From the Game. EXETER, N.

LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—OCTORER 23. 1907 ~ CONCRETE POLES Not Only Substantial and Durable, but Said to Have Great Elasticity. Asiong the many new uses of concre-e Which are being discovered every day, one of the most useful is the manufac- ture of poles for electrical uses, Says the “New York Commercial.” A firm has been organized in Indiana which is now prepared to construct or sell the right to construct concrete poles. With the reinforcement cf twisted reds and spiral binding wires properly dis- tributed in the ccelumn of cement, poles are not only suvstantial and ¢ able. but are also said to be of remark- able elasticity. For instance, a pole # feet long will permit a deflection of 30 in before the cement cracks. Even i eracking of the cement does -npair the strength of the pole, for atter this takes place the reinforcement becomes active and takes the entire strain. gu. Poles Are Square. As the reds are guaranteed to with- stand a breaking strain of 30,000 pouncs per square inch it is easy to understand why thts construction should be so safe and durable. In shape, the poles are square, with the corners beveled off two inches or three inches, so that the top ef the pole is octagonal in shape. This gives it a pleasing form, leaves the corners substantial and avoids sharp edges that would be likely to chip off. The rods are placed within three- quarters of an inch of the cement at the corners and then Bound by a spiral wire encireling the four rods from top to bot- tom. This serves to tie the rods to- cether and prevents shearing of the ce- ment, as the reds have a tendency to move outward when the pole is subject to a lateral strain. Another important function performed by the spiral-binding wire is that it tles the concrete and in- creases the flexibility of the entire body. How They Are Made. The smaller poles, up to and inclpding 33 feet are molded lying on the ground. The forms are laid with the butt near the hole and the reinforcement placed. Then the concrete is poured in and al- lowed to remain three to seven days, according to the weather. The forms are then removed, so that they can be used again and the pole is left to season. This process requires about three or four weeks and the poles are then ready te be set arfd used. All poles sheuld be built on the ground upright in the hole in position to be set up, thus saving the cost of unnecessary handling. Poles 4) feet and longer should be built standing, as this is eco- nomical. First the hole is dug and then the form is set in place directly over it, lined up perpendicular and temporarily suyed to held it in position. The spiral binding wires are then put in place and the rods drawn up on the inside of the form and set. There are several methods of placing thig material. One is by using a large bucket with pull¥s and a horse. With this method a 50-foot pole can be filled in about two hours, including the mixing ei the concrete. But the most ecenom- ical plan is to have a wagon equipped fer the purpese with a gasoline engine cencrete mixer and grain elevator te handle the material as rapidly as it is | mixed. FOOD POISONS. 9v Per Cent of All Diseases the Result of Undigested Putrefying Foods. Men of affairs, women of.society and children with active brains are too often sedentary in their habits, giving little time to exercise. To this evil is added that of high and irregular liv- ing—as a result, the stomach cannot stand the demands made upon it. The abused and overtaxed stomach does not properly do the work of digestion, food taken in ferments and the poison ‘rmeates the whole system. The body oses in weight and becomes a prey for the attack of whatever disease it may encounter. Did it ever oceur to you how busy that stomach of yours is? It only holds three rig but in ene year you force it to take in 2400 pounds of material, digest it and prepare it for assimila- tion into the blood. No wonder it rebels when overworked. We crowd it with steaks and pastfy, irritate its juices with spices and acids, and expect the stomach to do its work. It can’t do it. All over the inner layer of the stom-. ach are glands which secrete the juices necessary to digestion. The entrance of fool into the stomach is the signal for these glands to do their work, The more the food, and the more indigesti- le, the greater the demand upon them and upon the muscles of the wall ad- joining. . Think of the tons of high-seasoned game, sweetmeats and appetizers crammed into this little four-ounce mill, and then wonder, if you will, why you are dizzy or nauseated or consti- pated. Don’t blame your stomach or curse your fate that you should be born so unfortunate. Blame yourself and ap- ply the remedy. First, get a small package of Stu- art’s ia Tablets, taking one after each meal and at bedtime. They are not a medicine, but a digestive. Your stomach is worn out and needs help, not medicine. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets will do the work that the stomach fails to do. There’s enough power in one grain of Stuart's Dvs- a Tablets to digest 3000 grains of ordinary food, so you needn’t fear that anything you eat will remain in your stomach undigested. : Stuart’® Dyspepsia Tablets will rout the —beqause they remove the’ causé—food fermentation.

HAD MANY NAMES Once Called Marameg, Word De- rived From Man-um-aig, Chip- pewa for Catfish. ee From the Jefferson County (Mo.) Re- publican. This last version was’ evidently in- tended by Mr. Scharff as an anecdote, iifustrative of the spirit of the early set- tlements for the name. In the handbook of American Indians. published by the Bureau of Ethnology, Washington, D. C., it is stated that Marameg is from iman-um-aig, Chippe- wa for “‘catfish’’ and that a tribe of Ma- rameg Indians lived north of Lake Su- nerior when the country wag first dis- covered—1734-1670. A village, spelled Maramech, a few milés west of Chi- cago, appears on lFranquetin’s map of .14. On Futaman’s map of 1688 the word is spelled Maramea, while on Franque- lin’s map of 1685 it appears as Merame. Seventeenth Century Maps. French explorers and Jesuit mission- aries passed down the Mississippi below the mouth of the Meramec in 1698-1700 and reported that the Indians came down the Marameg River to go to the lead mines 50 leagues distant up the river. The maps of the eighteenth century, some as early as 1703, give various names to this river, such as Maramec, Maramek and Marametk, and Lieut. Z. M. Hike in 1806 spelled it Meremeck. By Canal to St. Louls. Engineer Morell, acting on behalf of the State, reported to the Legislature in December, 1840, that it would cost $2,925, - 000 to make the Meramek navigable by locks and dams from its mouth to Maney’s iron works, a distance of 172 miles, and $3,400,000 to make a canal be- ; tween the same points. The Meramee Canal and Navigation Co. was authorized in 1837 to improve the Meramec River so as to afford’ stock water navigation § along its banks and to connect that river with | St. Louis, either by canal or railroad, . but the funds te do this work could not be raised and the project failed. | Benjamin Johnston, Benjamin O’Fal- | lon and Johnson H.

The Chipewa, Marameg, Sac tribes were of Algonquin stock, and we conclude that the word, Mar- ameg, by whatever tribe the river was given its name, is of Algonquin or- igin and was intended to convey the idea that this was a catfish river, which in fact it really is. In this connection we desire to give some facts in regard to this river which we were unable to give in our former report. It will be re- merbered that the Court of Quarter Sessions of St. Louis County, in 1896, granted John Boli a license to keep a ferry over the Meramec River, three miles below the mouth of Fish Pot Creek, and we were formerly unable They will bring FA. Semark Ge | oor! to tell you where that ferry was, be- cause we could not locate this creek. This we are now able to do. No Chauge in 100 Years. The creek bears the same name now it did in 1806, and‘it enters the Meramec River from the northwest, ‘in St. Louis County, about half a mile above Valley Park and the Meramec crossing of the Frisco Railroad. On a Straight line Fenton ts about three miles from the mouth of this stream, and we therefore conclude it was the place of Boli’s ferry in 1806, though he had a ferry under the Spanish Government lewer down the river, at or near the mouth of Saline Creek, in Cur country. We have spoken several! times of Catalan’s ford, on the Mera- mec, but were never able to locate it until now. Old Ford Leeated. It was at the site of the present Lo- may Ferry Bridge. It takes its | name from Louis Catalan, one of the first settlers of Carondelet, and he gave the name to a prairie there called ‘‘Prairie a Catalan.” and to a road leading from the village, ‘‘Prai- rie a Catalan,” now Carondelet, des- ignated on the maps as “Chemin (highway) a Catalan, and the salt works of Benito Vasquez, on survey 3011, were known at one time as “La- Saline a Catalan. But Catalan died and his name as applying to these places has disappeared. There is no doubt that the “King’s Trail” crossed the Meramec at what is now known as the Lower Ferry, and we believe, though we do not pos- itively known, that Catalan’s Ford was the crossing later known as the | Upper Ferry.

SAN ANTONIO, Oct, 23.—The drouth over Southwest Texas, except in a tew | places, is now serious, especially to the cattle interests. The loss to ranchmen has already amounted to thousands of dollars and but for the fact that a great many artesian wells had been brought in during the past few years, the loss would be tripled. | There is practically no range. The ranchmen are falling back on prickly pear for forage for the animals. It is necessary to burn the thorns off the. pear in order that the cattle may eat them. This is now done by means of | gasoline. Under this new method, the prickly! pear makes a fine food. It is not only} sustaining, but contains much juice, | which’ partially allays the thirst of the! animals. The fields have been practically cleared of all crops, but the ground ts too dry to plow.

GIDDY SOCIAL WHIRL FOR Tht PANAMA CLUBS Life There Is Not Without t's Pleasures, the News Inclicates. — WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.—Some of the “social and personal’? notes com:ng from the Isthmus of Panama and the Canal Zone through the medium of the Canal Record wear a familiar face. The Texas Club gave a banquet to Texans the other night at the Gorgona Hiotet. “The dining room was elabor- ately decorated with palms, bunting, and the United States, Panama, and Texas flags. ‘The tables were decorated with rare potted plants. The cakes and ices were served in red, white and blue stars. The toastmaster was W. F. Morrison, and the responses were many and in a vein that produced much ap- plause. Manager (. Z Vanden Heurk served the following menu: “Consomme aux macedoines, olives, croquettes of salmon, French peas, roast ham, champagne sauce, browned pota- toes, pontet canet, roast chicken a la mazerine, asparagus tips, stewed mush- rooms, shrimps en mayonnaise, imperial cheese, peach ice cream, Lone Star cakes, coffee.’ It should be added that ‘‘an enjoyable time was had by all.’’ What Bowlers Eat “Informally.” On the same evening the manager of the Gorgona Bowling Club entertained the Gorgona and Cristobal Bowling teams after the game “at an informal dinner,’’ as follows: “Consomme with vegetables, pickles, lobster croquettes, filet de boeuf aux champignons, roast turkey, cranberry Sauce, asparagu?, green peas, vanilla ice cream, pound cake, cheese, crackers, claret, coffee.’’ It is to be supposed that also under these circumstances ‘‘an cnjoyable time was had by all.’”’ While on the subject of eatables, it may be noted that the Commissary De- partment in the Canal Zone has been changing its prices, and that Natural Leaf chewing tobacco may now be pur- chased at 20 cents per plug, a reduction of 5 cents from the old price. Tangle- foot fly paper is now within the reach of all canal employes at the new price of 1% cents per sheet, as against the old price of 2 cents. Two-ounce packages of bicarbonate of soda are going at “slaughter prices,”’ as the bargain ad- vertisements cay. The old price was 12 cents per package; the new price is 2 cents. To offset this, however, house- hold ammonia has been jumped from & cents per bottle to 15 cents. Club Life On Isthmus. Here are some Cristobal Commissien Club notes: “The outlook for pasket ba!l is most encouraging. A squad of about twenty men is werking out twice a week. Quite a number of these men have played en college and Y. M. C. A. teams in the States, and everything points toward high-grade basket ball on the isthmus. An international league is to be ar- ranged in the near future. “The Cristobal Bachelors’ give an invitation dance at house on Saturday, Oct. 5. “Invitations are dut for the woman’s reception on the afternoon of I’riday, Sept. 27, in honor of Miss Helen Bos- well, who is here in the interests of wom- an’s clubs. It is proposed toe organize a Cristobal Woman’s Club with the pur- pose of affiliating with the General Fed- eration of Wemen’s Clubs in the States. One of the recent additions to the privileges is the establishment of an up-. to-date barber shop with an American barber in charge.’’ Apparently some of the recent finds are being put te better use. The Ca- nal Record gives an account showing how, by the expenditure of $20,000 for labor and material, an old French ladder or elevator dredge, which had been lying in the Rio Grande River, above La Boca, for more than 20 years has been restored in every part so that it is now capable of excavating 120,000 cubic yards of material per month, an amount equivalent to that removed by four 95-ton 5-yard steam shoveis. This dredge when in service at the La Boca entrance of the canal will do more work than a modern dip- per dredge costing $102,500. In reconstructing the dredge, all the essential parts used were French. These were found in the jungle, or ’ Club will the club- tered along the line of the canal. The remarkable preservation of this ma- chinery was due in the first place to the high quality of material used in construction, and in the second place to the use of white iead and grease, which covered the parts and excluded the air. Food Trust Overlooking Prices. Commissary prices on the isthmus for food supplies appear to be very reasonable, and in some cases actually cheap, as compared with prices pre- vailing in the United States. Here is a list of commissary prices for the week ending Sept. 20, of various sta- ple foodstuffs: FRESH MEATS. short-cut chops, per short-cat chcps, per sirloin roast, per ib. Steaks, porterhouse, per Ib. Steaks, sirlcin, per Steaks, . tenderloin; Veal cutlets, per Ham, sugar-cured, Sweetbreads, veal, per Sweetbreads beef, per Ib. POULTRY AND GAME.

State Gave Union Pacific 30 Per Cent of Gross Earnings Last Year. $6,155,142 Operating Expenses in the Corn- husker Domain Increased by Clerk Force. PAID SALARIES LINCOLN, Neb., Oct. 23.—Thirty-five per cent of the gross income of the Union Pacific system originates or ter- minates at Nebraska stations, while 38 per cent of the gross income of the road is earned in Nebraska. And 32.44 per cent of the system is in Nebraska. These facts are contained in the an- nual report of the road filed with the Railway Commissioners. Gross Earning Figures. The gross earnings of the entire Union Pacific were $45,512,933.54, and the gross earnings in Nebraska 17,632,988.27 for the year ending June 30. The gross income per mile for the entire system aggregat- ed $15,144.19, and for Nebraska $18,029.64, leaving a net income of $6,547.99 for the system and $8,179.56 for Nebraska. The operating expense per mile of road for the system was stated in the report to be $8,596.13, and for Nebraska $9,850.08. It is thought the great cost in Nebraska must be from the fact that the general offices with its attendant expense of salaried officials and clerks makes the operating expenses so great for the Cornhusker State, because nowhere on its system does the road have such a level line as in Nebraska. What the Freight Is. The freight received or forwarded in Nebraska is divided as follows: Per cent. CRACKERS AND MALT 10 BE TRUTHFULLY LABELED AFTER THIS IN KANSAS Pure Food Law Will Aid Prohibi- tionists in Preventing “Two- Per-Cent’’ Violation. TOPEKA, Kan., Oct. %.—Ag a re- sult of a conference between their representatives and Dr. S. J. Crum. bine, secretary of the State Board of Health, the ‘‘cracker trust” and four of the large brewing companies, have announced that they will make no further effort to evade the provisions of the new Kansas pure food law and the regulations of the State Board of Health for its enforcement. Regulation 34 of the rules adopted by the board requires the labeis on food or drugs which are adulterated

or artificially colored or contain al- cohol to so state. This regulation brought the objections. but after a long conference with Dr. Crumbine it Was agreed that the products will hereafter be labeled in conformity with the rule. The breweries have been selling so- called “malt extracts” and other bev- erages supposed to contain less than *wo per cent of alcohol in Kansas. Dr. Crumbine has ruled that these beverages come within the scope of the pure food law and will requtre that the labels hereafter state the quantity of alcohol contained. This ruling will make it easy for officers charged with the enforcement of the prohibitory law to secure evi- | dence against people who Sell cee {

Mr. Jesse A. Hulsey, 1948 Sidney street, St. Louls, Mo., says: “My girl baby, Rosa Hulsey, was born Aug. 18, 190. She was in good health and in perfect conditien when born. When ‘abeut a year old she became paralyzed. Two physicians treated her, but failed te benefit her any way. She used to lay with her feet folded on her stomach and sleep that way all night. I would straighten her out, but still she would draw her legs in the same condi- tien. Everybody in my neighborhood speke about the institute where Phe- nomenal Kraus’ specialists are, and abeut the wonderful cures. I thought I would call and see what he could do for my little one. “T used Phenomenal Kraus’ medicine on the baby, and this is the God's truth —imy litle baby can now stand, and stood up six or eight times for the first time in her life, after but one treatment. “If there are any fathers and methers who have children with paralysis, I shall be only too happy to explain about these g00d doctors.”’ The above is said to be one of the many statements made to Phenomenal Kraus and his specialists daily at their institute, Sixth and Chestnut. kkk NEBRASKA WIDOW GETS $5000 VERDICT AGAINST SALOONIST Husband Became Drunkard, Slept Out All Night, Got Pneu- monia and Died. OMAHA, Oct. '23.—Mamie Hennessey, widow of Lawrence Hennessey, obtained a $5000 judgment in the District Court against Joseph Duffy, a saloonkeeper at 3901 Q streat, South Omaha, because the latter sold her husband the drinks that intoxieated him and when in that condition contracted pneumonia and died. The money was the entire amount asked for by Widow Hennessey. The judgment is also directed against Thom- as J. Lloyd, a bondsman of Duffy. The plaintiff proved that her husband, frequentin~ Duffy's saloon, had become an habitual drunkard.

According to Fred Hilderbrant, with whom Bouitzer had lived for the past eight years, he had been afflicted with asthma fer several months.

ee MCUNTAIN DISTRICTS HAVE 280 RURAL MAIL ROUTES AND ASK MORE NASHVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 23.—Until about a year ago Tennessee l¢ed all of the Southerh States in the number of rural free delivery routes in operation. Tennessee took this lead six years ago and kept it until Texas people began to take a notion that having letters and newspapers brought daily to the very | gates of the more prosperous farmers iwas a good thing, and the Texans com- | menced to petition the Postoffice De- {partment vigorously for the establish- ment of the service. Being a larger State both in population and area, Texas forged ahead, and the chances are the Lone Star country will keep ahead. Ten- nessee is holding second place in the South. The report which has just been pre- pared shows that on Oct. 1 there were in operation in Tennessee 1546 routes, be- ing a gain of two since June 30. Pe- titions are pending for the establish- ment of 21 new routes. Since the service was eStablished by the Government 2588 petitions from Tennessee have been referred, of which number 959 were reversed by the of- ficials here. From Texas 2762 petitions have been rcceived, and 1007 have been turned down. Texas had on Oct. 1 1625 routes in operation, being a gain of 18 since June 30. The Texans have now pending 111

Theater a Curtosity. The theater itself is a curiosity. ‘one time it had been a grain storehouse, and even today it sadly resembles its original state. But if there is no carpet it is not missed, for the floors are cov- ered with sawdust. And if the seats are so narrow that no really robust person ean sit in them, tbere are at least two boxes, which on gala occasions are oc- cupied by the Mayor and the Under-Pre- fect respectively.

Chester Yates, 19 years old, who, the police declare, is the nerviest bellhop on record, is locked up at headquarters in New York. He is accused of at- tempting to extort money from Mrs. C. C. Campbell of 3704 Hartford street, St. Louis, buyer, who is staying at the Ho- tel Victoria. He was arrested on Sept. 11, charged with robbing the woman of her jewels while she was staying at the Hotel Cumberland, and was out on bail awaiting the action of the grand jury. According to Central Office Detect- ives Cooney and O’Dennell of New York, they trapped Yates yesterday in Mrs. Campbell’s room at the Victoria as he was receiving from her 10 marked ‘$20 bills. The detectives said that, al- though the woman knew the boy was suspected of having robbed her, she had been dealing with him in good faith, relying on his alleged statements to her that he would recover her stolen jewelry. The detectives say they found on the young prisoner a three-stone stickpin which Mrs. Campbell identified as hav- ing vanished from her dresser at the Cumberland en the night of Aug. 19. The other plunder, including a blue ruby ring worth $000 and several dia- mond ings, has not yet been recov- ered. According to a leased wire dispatch to the Post-Dispatch, Mrs. Campbell told the detectives that Yates came to her at the Victoria several days ago and said he thought he could recover her missing gems if she would give him $1500. Wanted 8850 for Ring. For $850, she says, he said he could produce her $4000 stolen ring. She gave him some small sums from day te day,

(NG ARRESTED SPITE “PULL” ‘Charles Enyart, Accused in Warrant, of Operating New York Loitery.

Charles Enyard, regarded by the po- lice as the policy king of North St. Louis, was arrested by Detectives Mc- Mullen and Wells Tuesday night on an ‘information charging him with establish- ing a lottery in the guise of policy games. Enyard was arrested as he stepped from the North Market street ferry on his return to St. Louis after a visit to his saloon in Madison, Lil. The police have been trying for many 'months to get an information against Enyard, but have not previously been successful on account of an alleged po- litical ‘‘pull.’’ After the information had been issued by Assistant Circuit Attorney Rosskopf the detectives went to the ferry land- ing and waited for Enyard. They say that he tried to escape when he saw them at the ferry landing, but they caught him and teok him to the [our Courts, where he was locked up dur- ing the night. Negre Also Arrested. Tho information was issued by Assist- ant Circuit Attorney Rosskopf on evi- dence furnished by Joe Brown and Ster- ling Thompson, now serving long Work- house sentences for policy vending, and Allen Smith and Willlam Swansey, two negro policy sellers. Thomas Slaughter, a negro, is accused in another informa- tion with being the manager of Enyard's policy games. He was arrested by Do- tectives McMullen and Wells in George | Williams’ saloon at Twenty-first and Chestnut streets and locked up in the Four Courts heldover. The same evidence on which Rosskepf issued the informatiens was some time ago laid before Assistant Circult Attor- ney Seebert G. Jones, whe refused to issue a warrant against Enyard. The matter was subsequently laid before the grand jury, and when Detectives Mc- Mullen and Wells went to Assistant Cireult Attorney Rosskopf Tuesday and renewed their effort to get an informa- tion against Enyard they were success- ; ful. eet i STATE NURSES DISCUSS WORK The Missour{ State Nurses’ Association began its second annual meeting Wednesday at the rooms of the St. Louts Medical Society, %% Pine street.

“FIRST IN EVERYTHING.”

a>, PAYING MEN TO BE HONEST. By way of reaction from tar-and-feathers and hemp-rope methods of doctoring the Municipal Assembly, the Tenth Ward Improvement Asso- ciation now rushes to the other extreme of pre- scribing an increase in salaries so as to put dis- honest legislators beyond the necessity of bribes. It is not necessity, however, that prompts the crooked member to crime. The same man who will sell out the public for bribes on a salary of $300 would do so on a salary of $5000, and for no other reasons than that the opportunity presented itself. The honest Jean Valjean’s hunger for can never be pleaded by the treacherous public

On the other hand, as a mere matter of dollars and cents, the taxpayer could well afford to pay first-class salaries to honest and capable assembly- men, not by way of bribing them to be honest and bidding against corruption, but because the salaries were well earned, on the principle of just compensation. The present House of Delegates is vastly over- Salaries. Its services have never been worth 10 cents to the public, but rep- resent a loss. a « A. — SS THE SPORT OF THE WINDS. For the gentlemen of comparative leisure who are able to indulge in it, balloons make good epott, and, as at present, provide a stimulating diversion for a wide public. But as yet balloons have not demonstrated a utilitarian value equal to the carrier pigeons and serve no more practical purpose than to tell which Way the wind blows. : That it blows several ways at once ovef the Same spot at different levels has long been known by other means, but it is interestingly and con- vincingly demonstrated anew by the various courses of the balloons loosed from St. Louis Mon- day afternoon. ; Other things being equal, the race must always go to the aeronaut who knows the wind best. as to the sailor who knows his sea. But that aeronautics must always be a difficult science at best, and never an exact one, seems probable, since nothing in all earthly experience is as vari- able as the wind—the supreme inconstaricy. It is conceivable, still, that exploration of the currents of the vasty upper deep will develop a kind of marinership able to pick its way under ordinary conditions, though never with the sure instinct of the bird that finds a counter current

| against the wind. In any event ballooning is securely established as g00d sport for the gentry able to foot the bills, and as a diversion and delight to the public which loves the spectacular. . ore > >. &. a — a sae

* WHERE BRYAN GOT HIS MONEY. It is almost incredible, but Mr. Bryan has out- ‘ned the paramount issues for next year and has been silent as to Government ownership and the referendum. A little more than a year ago he said on the subject of ownership that no convention could supply him with principles. He would favor the purchase of the railroads, no matter what his’ party thought about it. As to the referendum, he would drive out of the Democratic organization any man who opposed it. | It ts a far cry from heroic fulminations of this character to the hackneyed issues outlined by him in New York, which are: The trusts, railroad regulation, swollen fortunes, the purification of politics by prohibiting -contribu- tion to campaign funds by corporations dotng an interstate business, the keeping open to public in- apection “before election, rather than after election" thé books showing the names of campaign contrib- uters and the amounts contributed, and reform of the tariff along the lines of tariff for revenue only. Inasmuch as campaign contributions are thus to be an important feature of next year’s discus- sion, it is surprising that Mr. Bryan confined his prohibition to corporations doing an inter- state business. There are other objectionable sources which should also be closed to parties and candidates, For example, what would Mr. Bryan himself have done in 1896 and 1900 without the benevo- lences of William A. Clark, corruptionist, of Montana, of the selfish silver barons of Colorado and Nevada and of the impeccable Richard Croker of New York? Publication of the names of, the amounts paid by and the purposes of the men who supplied Mr. Bryan and his party with funds in those memor- able years would be quite as interesting as any- “ thing that has been heard of in that line thus far. : There is hope always for a man who is able to learn. President Roosevelt went into the canebrakes of Louisiana two weeks ago somewhat dubious as to the waterways and inclined to overload river improvement with irrigation, swamp reclamation, forestry and fuel preservation. He emerges with the reeking skins of various bears and wildcats, a small menagerie of captive animals, and a new equipment of ideas on the subject of deep water, upon all of which we con- gratulate him most sincerely. Speaking at Vicksburg more emphatically than ever before, he promises hearty support of the waterway project and, as if to explain his pre- vious indecision on this point, he-says: “I shall have no small difficulty in proving to the peo- ple of my own locality the wisdom of such a policy as that which I have adopted.” To show that his conversion is fundamental he says that opposition in the East can be over- come if there is no attempt to divert what should be a national effort to deepen a gréat highway into a confusing succession of smaller efforts to secure appropriations for other and less worthy objects. In conclusion he said: “J believe that ultimately we shall he able to to deepen, a large number of canalize, very Mississippi and its most first.” upon the friends of river improvement that this | idea is essential to success. Men ostensibly i favor of the project who involve it with other enterprises for which the people are not yet prepared are as truly obstructing the work as do rivers unless by logrolling they can secure assist- are ‘those who refuse to anything for the ance for their own favorite projects. Take the big waters first! There is inspiration in that, for it is practicable, politically, scientifi- cally and financially. If we take all waters, al] swamps, all deserts, all forests and all mines to- gether we will accomplish nothing for any of them. - The President evidently killed something be- sides bears in the canebrakes. He Killed a preju- dice. ;

Whether the present House of Delegates is more corrupt than,the infamous forerunner which made boodle history remains to be seen, but it is certain that the present body is the most brazen that ever occupied the chamber. When the citizens of a ward hold a mass meet- ing of protest over the head of their Delegate, representative government gives a faint sign of life.

Cigar Stote Pictures. To the Euitor of the Post-Digpatch. ’ The attention of Chief of Police Creecy is called to the fact that Some cigar stores are displaying postal cards and pictures which are devidedly sug- gestive. There appears to be an epidemic of such ‘art’ just now, and the police ought to put a stop to it. There is no reason why cigars and toBacco should be mixed up with indecent art than there its why any other commercial business should make a speciaity of It. Smokers are not necessarily foul- minded. A SMOKER.

+ ee Advice for Balloonaiics. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. In regard to the inability of aeronauts to determine the direction of a balloon when sailing over a large body of water or above the clouds would say a simple vet effective way is to drop a small parachute from balloon, if balloon js traveling in an ordinary wind. The balloon will have gained on the parachute by the time parachute opens sufficiently to align para- with a compass. The direction the balloon is from the parachute determines the direction tbe balloon is traveling. If a measurement is to be made at night the “weight” on the parachute should be an electric hand torch, with the ‘“‘lens’”’ or light pointing upward, so as to shine on parachute. ‘This will make parachute plainly visible from above. S. E. RODEKOPF. chute ee Persecuted Police. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: In your issue of Oct. 17 is an article about the police thinking their examinations to hard, which they certainly are. There is nelther reason nor justice in expecting any of the men to memorize the manual, also locations of banks, churches, schools, parks, clubs, ticket offices, hospitals, cemeteries, too numerous to mention. it unreasonable to expect men over 50 years of age, many who are capable of doing good police duty, and who have given good and taithful service, to learn several hundred questions and answers. No wonder the man said “If they wanted scholars and college professors on the force’ he had better quit. Then, too, many of the localities are 10 and 15 miles away from where many of the men have been on duty for years. [I question if Mr. Stewart after 30 or even 60 days’ study, answer any and every point of law and give section where same could de found without turning to the index. C. > bs

When people can behold a man a half “mile in the skies, And never blanch with dizziness, turn away their eyes; When théy can feel that he is sane, and knows What he’s about, And that his mother is alive and knows that he is out— - When -you and I shall view the without one thought of fear, Why, I shall have an airship then, and call ior you, my dear. nor sport When people can look into space and watch a man play tag’ With passing clouds, suspended on a stick tled to a bag: When they can stand around and sigh, “IT envy him up there— I envy him the glory of adventure, the air!”’ When you and I shall feel like that, not afraid one whit, Why, I shall have an airship then, we'll explore a bit. and and and When people can peer up a mile to where some fellow soars, Suspended from a _ pillow-slip slim two-by-fours; When he is just a small black speck, and all along the line, The people sigh, “I wish he were a real- tive of mine!”’ When you and I shall talk like that, and mean. just what we say, Why, IT shall have an airship then, and we'll go twice a day. on two THE PRESIDENTIAL HUG, Dr. Long finally turns out to be just what the President called him—a nature faker. “Did you read,” he asks, ‘‘that the President, after killing his recent bear, hugged every member of the party as they came up? That is the sort of sportsman-naturalist he is,’’ ete, inti- mating that the President is neither, but a sort of excitable boy running around in long trousers. Which goes to show that the Doctor, so far from knowing nature, does not know even human nature. Anyone who knows bears and the ex- citement of hunting them was able to put two and two together and under- stand exactly what happened. The Pres-

ident came upon the bear in the thicket. The bear charged him. ‘The favorite attack of a bear is the hug. The bear hugged the President. Meanwhile, having cast off his guns and Knives, the President hugged the bear. They wrestled around in the canebrake a while, and the President hugged the bear to death. He was happy. Who wouldn't be? He was too full for utterance. When the rest of the party came up, they nat- urally wanted to know what_had At@p- pened. The President, unable to speak because of the joy that was hugged them all around and thus fur- nished the story of the fight better than he could have done it in words. Dr. Long couldn't this. That's what makes him a nature faker. see The racing balloonists performed one notable feat almost immediately after Starting. They got across the river with- out paying toll to the Bridge Trust.

| prisonment for debt.

Drawn for the Post-Dispatch 4000 YEARS AGO. From the St. Louis Medical Fortnightly. In jurisprudence the ancient Egyp- tians, in some ways, excelled us. They permitted. women to earn property and own it in their own right. They allowed women, in the absence of male progeny, to become reigning qucens. They gave to women the right to teach, to preach or make a living in any honorable man- ner. A judge who condemned an in- nocent man, or one who allowed a clear- iy guilty one to escape unpunished, was held as a criminal before the law. In- terest on a debt was never allowed to exceed the principal. There was no im- Not t» pay a debt was to be excluded from burial in the family.plot, and the consequent disgrace that followed such exclusion. Anyone, even a convict, could bring charge against a dead person and, if the charge was sustained, decent burial was for- bidden until his friends righted the wrong. This applied to kings as, well as to the common people. Deserters were punished with disgrace and not with death. Women were _ protected from molestation by the most severe penalties. Doctors who proclaimed the discovery of some wonderful cure were held responsible for the effects pro- duced by that cure and, if death result- ed from its use, the doctor, or quack, had to follow his victim to the ‘‘nether world.”” In the puayers and confessions, which many of them committed to papyrus, they display the high ethical tone of those remote times. Here is the translation of one that is over 4000 years old: “I have not boasted, not lied, not stolen, not defiled myself, not burned with rage, not blasphemed, not been an éeavsdropper, not oppressed the poor, not starved any man, not made any to weep, nor have I falsified the beam of the balance.’ The papyrus of Ani, in the British Museum (No. 10,470) gives 42 sins that every devout person had to confess concerning before Osiris, or lose his soul. Besides those of the confession quoted were others equally remarkable, such as: “O, Breath of Flame, I have spoken no evil; O Lord of Law, I have never entered into a con- spiracy: O god of two fold evil, I have never commited adultery, O reciter of words, I have never spoken in hot anger: O Babe, who ecomest forth from ‘fab. I have never made my ear deaf to the sound of words of truth; O thou that orderest words, I have never been in excitable and contentious person.”

At Sportsman's Park scrub work isi as raré as flowers in winter, while im the Stadium it is handled as care- fully as Dresden china. This was strikingly Washington Tuesday afternoon. freshman and second = eleven, Coach Jacobs, were out early on the field and waited anxiously to do bat- tle with the varsity. A number of the men, as the time slipped by and the shadows began to line up against both teams, were compelled to leave the field and dress long before Blanchard made at The under illustrated MANY FIVES WILL SOON PLAY HERE:

Missouri A. C. Receives Basket-Ball (Challenges From Leading Teams. — a | Basket ball is to be one of the strong- est sports at the Missouri Athletic Club this winter. The failure of the athletes to take up football has left this the only sport to be featured, aside from the water polo games and swim- ming. Tuesday a letter was received from the basket ball team at Harvard asking for a game during the Christmas holi- days. This letter, together with the challenges which have already been re- ceived from Columbia, Pennsylvania, Muscatine, lowa, Chicago Central Y. M. Cc A. and other smaller institutions, will be accepted this week. Hopes to Form City League. Physical Director Bassett just now is trying to form a city league of basket ball teams. He has met with success so far and hopes to have at least six teams in the organization eariy next month. While the officers of the M. are not ready to admit it by means, there is a prospect the basket ball games and the swimming events will be the only athletic features of the club for the next few months.

If the Ideals keep up the terrific pace they set in their tenpin match with the. Hyde Parks on the Palace Alleys Tuesday night, the other teams in the City Tenpin League might just as well cry quits right now. The Ideals have a record of 15 games won and but three lost. The Hyde ; Parks were easy picking last night, but the league leaders were fighting hard all the way. Bo Barron, Sanders and Stokes of the winners averaged over the 200 mark. The Ideals, in all, gathered 3059 pins.

On account of the lateness of the hour nothing “but straight football could be indulged in and then in the darkness the play was hard to follow. The con- ditions were such as to preclude any possibility of Blanchard trying out his new plays, or of working any open field tactics. Of course, the mere fact that opposition lined up against them was in itself beneficial, but not near the benefit contained in the work was obtained from it, primarily on account of the paucity ef the time and the. latefie&s of ‘the hour. All of the W. WU. regulars, with the exception of Weinbrenner and Stevens, were in the practice, and Strat, Morton ‘and Vickes were again bec. in the fray.

McKinley has made a disappointing showing and Smith a verv creditable one, and a& movement emanating from Central is on foot to sidetrack the McKinley date and give it to Smith. livery member of the Smith team wants to play Central, and the econ- test with Wendell Phillips of Chi- cago would willingly be discarded by them if the old struggle could be re- newed.

IN TRAINING FOR GOVERNOK ————~— ww —— Plenty More Out in the Coun- fies “Talked Of” ai Home.

ONE ADMITS CHARGE

Others Are Willing to Be? Drafted for Good of State.

TOPEKA, Kan., Oct. 23.—Nearly every other county in the State has a local favorite for the Republican vpomination for Governor and some of these may de- velop into real ‘‘dark horses.’’ So far, however, there seems to be plenty of material on hand to keep the f sips busy all winter. Fight Republicans are now the possessors of state-wide “booms."" Of these eight, one is an avowed candidate and the others “might be if needed.”’ The eight are: Grant Hornaday of Fort Scott. . C. Stich of Independence. . H. Haskell of Smith County. . L. Davideon of Wichita. . T. Bradley of Sedan. S. Jackson of Eureka. Among the “near booms,” and most prominent, was the putting forward of G. W. Kanavel, chairman «!: the State KRalilroad Commission, by a Sedgwick county paper. The situation can be aptly described as incoherent. With some factionalism left in the party, Congressman An- thony’s ruffle of the political waters with his direct primary letter, and remnants of last year’s close and smoky battle still clouding the atmos- phere, a general disposition is mani- fested by the Republican rank and file, viz.: To walt. Grant Hornaday is the only candi- | date who is out in the open and busy | He is traversing the State , from side to side and top to bottom, | making hay. and has been at it for some time. He talks nothing to the newspapers, but a whole lot to the “‘people.”’ He isn’t on the stump, but he is in -tthe hotel lob- bles, on the streets, in trains, and every’- where that he can meet the voters. He has not formally announced himself a candidate ‘‘by statement.’’ Stubbs Wants the Toga. Stubbs says that he is not a candi- Gate for Governor, but his followers either declare that he “ought to be,”’ or that “he must be.”’ It is simply a ques- tion of who is ruling the roost, accord- ing to their story. Stubbs says that he won’t be a candidate unless he is com- pelled to be, which recalls Nick Long- worth’s statement about what his father-in-law may do. “I'm a candidate for Senator,’’ says the Lawrence states- man. Senator Joe Dolley of Maple Hill had something started his way by the Alton and Maple Hill newspapers. At once tke talk went out that the Square Lealers had selected Joe to hold thelr banner and pilot their cause. Joe laughs. The other Square Dealers say that ‘Joe wouldn’t make a bad Governor.’ A. C. Stich of Independence says: “I’m not out hunting tlhe nomination iike Hornaday. I'm not chasing over the State after it. If I can serve the State, I am ready to do so. I didn’t want to be Mayor of Independence, but the citv Wanted me to take the office. I feel the same way about this Governor mat- ter.” Haskell May Oppose Stubbs. Senator Haskell. who is warden of the Penitentiary, and whe Gov. Hoch thinks is the best-looking man in the State of Mansas, has about as inuch governor- ship talk hemmed about him by the po- litical gossips as anybody. It Is {re- quently indicated that he may be pro- jected as an anti-Stubbs candidate. The Senator himself said when asked if he would or might be a candidate, ‘Not today.”’ C. L. Davidson of Wichita is interest- ing @ good many. Davidson trained with the Square Dealers the early part of the year. He came to Topeka a num- ber of times and Stubbs, Dolley, Stone, Troutman, White of'Ada and White of Emporia, Taylor, et al. happened also “to Grop in.’ One evening Stubbs and Davidson talked a long while. At once the Copeland Hotel lobby got busy with rumors that the two were de- ciding which of them would run for Governor on the Square Deal ticket, and it was agreed that Stubbs put the man- tle upon Davidson. Both laughed. But the other aay 1800 young Republicans of Wichita got busy and put forth a big Troar for “Davidson for Governor in Two “Aore Silent Ones, Senator Fitepatrick of Sedan came to | town the other day. Bill tlackney of Winfield was also here. Dave Mulvane and Mort Albaugh were in town. Con- gressman Phil Campbell also “ran jn.” The gossip was that they ‘“‘talked to each other about politics,” which was all promptly denied. But it is know that Fitzpatrick tried to locate J. Bradiey of nm, @ national bank ex- amiver. Patzgpatrick said that he wanted to get Bradiey to run for Governor.

00 FOR BEING ADJUDGED INSANE Woman Author Sues Alienists Who Caused Her Commitment to Asylum.

Special to the Post-Dispatch, NEW YORK, Oct. 23.—Soon after

midnight this morning the jury in the case of Mrs. Ellen FE. Kenyon-Warner. who sued Dr, Flavius Packer and Dr. Sidney D. Wilgus in the Supreme Court at New City, Rockland County, for $50,000 damages, because they adjudged her insane and caused her commitment to the Middletown Insane Asylum, ren- dered a verdict for the plaintiff.

Mrs. Warner, who is a well knewn

author and educator, is awarded a ver- dict of $25,000. The jury found that she | was sane and rational on July 13, 1904, when she was examined by the two alienists, and that they were negligent | in making their examination. Counsel for Mrs. Warner declared | that the verdict was undoubtedly a ‘“law-maker”’ and would have great ef- fect upon insanity cases in this State. It was the first case of the kind ever | tried in New York.

Tells Audience in Nashville; President Wilson Plans Equal That Merfin High Finance Must Deal Fairly. —— TALKS OF WALL STREET

Even If His Policies used Troubles There’ll Be No Change.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. NASHVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 2.—Presi- dent Roosevelt received an enthusiastic welcome here vesterday afternoon. The Ryam great auditorium was crowded te its capacity with persons to hear him speak. The President reiterated his belief that the Government should demand hon- esty among financiers, especially desal- ings in the stock market and the ad- Winistration ef banking institutions. While here Mr. Rooseveit visited the Hermitage, the old home of Andrew Jackson, and in his address he declared he would use his influence to have the Government take control of the Hermi- tage. He laid a wreath of palm leaves upon Jackson’s grave, and on his way to his train visited the Confederate Sol- dier’s Home, registered und spoke cheer- fully to the aged veterans who occupy the home. To Continue His Policies. The President's address was devoted chiefly to the troubles which have re- contly disturbed the financlal centers ef the country. He said in part: “There has been trouble in the stock market—in the high financis! world— during the past few months. The state- ment has frequently been made that the policies for which I stand, leyislative and executive, are responsible for that trouble. Social Level for the Students.

PRINCETON, N. J., Oct. %.—Prince- ton, the once “truly democratic insti- tution,’’ is now called more undemocrat- ic thari the Engiish universities—Ox- ford ang Cambridge. In fact, the clubs, cliques and social combinations are said to be cultivating such exclusiveness and snobbishness that the Board of Trustees is consider- ing drastic action to place all students upon an equal social footing. This means, Woodrow Wilson, that the clubs of the rich men’s sons, which were formed following the ousting of fraternities, must go. In their place nave been sug- gested the dormitory system where un- dergraduates of all classes would sleep under the same roof and eat at the same table. With the increase of wealth at Prince- ton many of the clubs have established themselves in homes of unusual luxury. The Cottage Club building, for example, which was completed about a year ago, cost more than $100,000. The Ivy Club, Which is the oldest and most exclusive of all, is furnished with the sumptuous- ness of a millionaire’s villa. Merely the tables and chairs of the Tigers Inn cost a fortune, being made of teakwood. and bought for the club by the fond mother of one of its founders. Threaten Upper Classmen Clubs. Then there is the splendid Colonial Club, the handsome Elm, The Cannon, Cap and Gown, the Princeton Camnpus, the Quadrangle, the Princeton Charter, the Tower, the Terrace and the Key and Seal. In all there are 13 upper class societies which are housed in more or less elaborately furnished quarters. On becoming a member, of one of the more exclusive clubs, the student fs able to live a life of luxurious ease. Though Lise

NEW YORK, Oct. 22.—As soon as full! reports of fulguration, the new method for the cure of cancer, which has been reported frem Paris, are received in this country they will be studied with the greatest interest by specialists on this side. If there is any prospect of suc- cess in it it will be tried forthwith at the New York Skin nd Cancer Hospital of this city. “T can hardly express an opiniqn of the method,” saiu Dr. William Seaman Bainbridge, visiting surgeon of that hos- rital and honorary president of the first International Congress on Cancer, held at Heidelberg last year. “The cable- gram does net give the full data. But I can say that if we have any hope of it we shall certainly give it a trial. Electricity has been used before this in many ways for cancer. We try every- thing that promises success, and this fulguration will be no exception.” The fulguration treatment is descenbed as follows: An electric transformer is connected with the city’s electric sup- ply and sends through an_ insulated probe a leng current of great power. From the probe is ejected an electric spark five inches long, which ts appifed with a fulgurating or flashing effect on the cancereus growth, thus destroying all the diseased tissues. After the ful- guration the electric spark is used in lieu of a knife, volatilizing the affected part. After the operation the wound is washed with water and a simple anti- septic and a dressing are applied. The Paris patient under treatment is said by Dr. Hart, the discoverer of the treat- ment, te be convalescent after suffering from an internal cancer for two years.”
