Later two'smd!l outlying banks EB in which. the bank was interested—the

A the) Stockyards Bank of Commerce and the Union Avenue Bank of Commerce—also Closed. _ The failure of these banks had been predicted for several days and but little excitement followed the announcement of the news, although crowds of deposi- tors gathered about the doors of the in- stitutions. The officials of “the Com- merce, which ‘is afiliated with many bere’ and in other’ parts of ‘the | hwest, expr the belief. that none affected seriously. 6 failure is laid to’ the’ withdrawal | by outside, banks, within the past two -amnontiis, . of . $18,000,000. of deposits.

The gifl’s affliction, according to neigh- bors, had strange and terrifying mani- fes‘ations. From the hour she reached her home, she lost the power of speech ond could not recognize evén her pa-- ents. Her limbs wére oppressed with a peculiar inertia. If she lifted an arm above her head, it would remain there until someone put it down. She did rot sleep or eat for two weeks. Sometimes, after lying numb in bed for days, she would spring into the middle of the floor and stand for hours rigid and mo- tionlees Her parents say she was never ill before, that she had no svurrows and that her disposition was cheerful and often way.

WE believe we can make the finish as strong as the start, and surely have made the buying incentives great enough—Radical reductions haye~been made on.many of the sale prices—the Skirts that were priced $6.75 are now $4.95—

— the Tea Gowns have been regrouped and priced still lower and many lines of Wraps, Suits and Furs similarly treated.

Y far the best advertising this sale has had is due to the garments that went into thousands of homes. After a woman gets her pur- chases home, inspects them more carefully and shows them to her ecriti¢al friends—then she knows whether she is pleased with her purchases or not—judging by the thousands who have attended this sale because their friends told them of the great values, we are confident that the purchasers were pleased after a more careful inspection. HIS is a marvelous saving opportunity—the greatest we have ever offered you—and that’s saying a great deal—you really can’t afford to overlook it.

BOTH FACTIONS ARMED Guards at Idle Mines Instructed to Shoot Anyone Who ‘aged SAN FRANCISCO, Dec, 5.—Following the receipt of orders from President Roosevelt to hold troops in readiness to move on Goldfield, Nev., where a clash between idle miners and armed repre- sentatives of the mine owners is feared at any minute, Brigadier General Fun- ston announced today that he is pre- pared to forward troops on a moment's notice. The force he would send prob- ably would include the Twentietl: and Twenty-first Infantry, numbering about a thousand men. Gen. Funston is re- ceiving confidential reports hourly from Goldfield. Goldfield Fears Battle. GOLDFIELD, Nev., Dec. 5.—With most of Goldfield’s 1800 miners heavily armed, and with guards patrolling the workings under orders to fire on anyone who approaches, the cuthorities are facing a situation today which they fear will get beyond their control before Fed- eral troops can: reach the camp from California. Gov. Sparks has notified Washington that the miners here are “‘in a state of revolt and riot,” and: dis- patches from the capital say the Presi- dent has issued orders to have the [ed- eral troops in readiness to move. Ne- vada has no State militia. President Henry McKinnon of the lo- cal branch of the Western Federation of Miners—a brother-in-law of W. D. Hay- wood, recently acquitted at Boise of complicity in former Gov. Frank Steun- enberg’s assassination—was in confer- ence most of the night with officers of the miners’ organization. McKinnon refuses to give out a state- ment, but other officials say the miners are determined not to be “run out” of Goldfield as were those in the Colorado camps during the trouble in the Cripple Creek district. Sheriff Ingalls, though he has not ad- mitted it himself, has been declared by the mine officials to be powerless, with his slender force, to maintain order. Employers’ Version. The employers say they Know threats to burn the town have been made. No secret is made by the mine officials of the fact that the men’s refusal to ac- cept scrip for their wages during the currency famine was taken advantage of to bring matters to a crisis. Their ver- sion is that they have been acceding to demand after demand of the miners; that one concession is merely the signa! for fresh aggression on their employes’ part and that they made up their minds that the fight might as well come at one time as at another. They assert that the camp is filled with miners who took prominent parts in the Colorado and Coeur d'Alene troubles. Not a mine is running. Roosevelt Orders Troops Ready. WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.—President Roosevelt issued orders yesterday to have Federal troops held in readiness to aid in restoring order at Goldfield, Nev. This action was taken upon representa- tion from Gov. Sparks that the miners ¢} at Goldfield are “in revolt and riot.” Ne- vada is the one State in the Union which has no State militia. Gov. Sparks yesterday did not: deem the situation such as to justify immedi- ate Federal interference, but as one likely at any time -to .get. beyond. his control. The nearest Federal military base is at San Francisco, Cal. Haywood Is Optimistic. DENVER, Colo.,. Dec. 5.—When Wil- liam D. Haywood, secretary-treasurer of the Western Federation of Miners, was informéd that Gov.

HOPE 10 RETA ~ WEMANAT PO — | Roosevelt to Be: Invoked, Though Congressmén Op- pose Reappointment.

Strong administration influence will be brought to bear to induce President Roosevelt to reappoint Frank H. Wy- man as Postmaster of St. Louis, press dispatches from Washington say. §till, it is said, Mr. Wyman-will not have an easy time, as the congressional delegation from St. Louis is said-.to bea ear L. Whitelaw, former president of the Merchants’ Exchange and brother and business partner of Robert H. Whiteiaw, @-member of Mayor Wells’ Terminal Commission. Congressmen Bartholdt, Caulfield and Coudrey have decided to recommend Mr. Whitelaw for the place.“ Thus far Sen- ator Warner has been neutral, but it is understood that he has practically pledged himself .to recommend anyone favored by the 8t. Louis delegation in the lower house. As soon as Congressman Coudrey ar- rives in Washington the name of Mr. Whitelaw will be submitted. It will be urged that he is a conservative, level- headed business man of tried executive ability and that his administration of »-Postoffice — would be capable and businesg-1 Mr. Wyman isin favor in the. Post- déffice ‘Department at Washington and it is said that officials high in the councils of the department wilil contend that his record has been so good that he is en- titled to continue in the service. “In support of the belief that adminis- tration influence in Mr. Wyman/s hehalf wil], prevail, it is pointed out that his brother, Surgeon- General Wyman of the tnited Staths Army, is a close friend of Prebident’ ‘Roosevelt. TERMIUALS COMMISSION TO » ABOLISH | GRADE CROSSINGS Mayor Credited With Being Behind v», Efort to Elevate and Lower a oe . Tracks. veApelision. of gtade crossing by either elevating or depressing railroad tracks is the ‘subject to which the Municipal Bridge and Terminal. Commission will address itself in the next few months. | Legal opinions differ as to the city’s ‘power to legislate the grade crossings out ‘of existencé. These opinions and figures. touching: the probable burden te private property affected will ‘guide the, commission: in the ‘consideration of: the subject. Mayor Wells is credited with the to fcommission’s decision to work “for thé ‘The ‘un- ‘dertaking' is not regarded as strictly ‘Within, the. scope. of. the _commigsion’s duties, but Mayor. Wells feels that the evil can best be reached, through the iefforts’ of the: commission. Albert T. Porkins, adviser of the Bridge Commission, and President A. J. O'Reilly of the Board of Public Im- provements have submitted partial plans for. @® subway under the railroad yards at Compton avenue. The Teiminals Commission cannot approve that plan, ‘until the Missouri Pacific agrees to ele- about seven feet. The company’s concurrence is expected be-

way probably will be recommended.

The annual bazar for the benefit of the Girls’ Industrial Home will be held ‘at the ‘home, 5501 Yon Versen avenue, Dec. 10 and 11, from 10 a. m, to 6 p. m. Fancy and useful articles, home-made preserves, pickles, mince meats, jellies, candies and cakes will be for sale. Ev- erybody invited. Lunch 12 to 3. LEOPARD: FAINTS AFTER HER. ~ ACHING TEETH ARE PULLED Inmate of Néw York Zoo Held in Canvas Bag While Forceps mone *" Are Appited. NEW YORK, Dec. 6.—Poor Alice suf- fered such agony that she fainted as

day. They were incisors, three inches long, so the pain must have been ex- cruciating. . However, Alice revived and after a while she sat up and took a little nourishment, a pigeon and a quart of mitt, the first nourishment she had for for three days. Alice and her two brothers; Teddy and Nick, are leopards born in the Central Park zoo 10 months ago. All of Alice’s cub teeth did not drop out to make room for, her second ones. Her gums became swollén and tender, she could not eat and she lost her amiable tenper. So Keeper Snyder and his assistants put Alice in a thick canvas bag yes- terday, leaving only her head out. They hetd her jaws open and Snyder pulled the three teeth that had given her the greatest suffering.

ONLY St. Louis newspaper showin GAINS in circulation over last year; AL others, publishing circulation statements, show LOSSES! *'Firs' in Everything’’ Whyr TRIUMPHING OVER PANIC. *» One of the most gratifying phases of the recent ‘financial dislocation has-been the fact that pop- ‘Mlar confidence in the soundness of our currency, ‘in the credit of the Government, in the stability of the banks and in the prosperity of the country has not been shaken. On other occasions, when there was genuine depression and alarm, the excitement extended into every part of the Republic and into every walk of life. Fear seized upon the poor man as well as the rich man, and there was a disposition everywhere to question everybody and everything. In the circumspection of the people wnder the trying conditions of the last few weeks we have substantial proof not only of their intelligence but of the influence and good character of the hewspaper press, which, while. printing the news and concealing nothing, has nevertheless been re- @ssuring in its tone. From all important cities come reports that Withdrawals from savings banks are comparative- ly few and that they are diminishing daily. In thousands of places not immediately connected with New York and its financial affairs no incon- venience of any kind has been experienced, and « in the larger towns the stress has been looked

upon philosophically as one easily axppnine? and}. which must soon pass away. The extensive importations: of gold; coupled with this popular good seri¥e and reason, have done more to dispel’ pafifé’find prevent disaster than any of the questionable policies adopted by the Treasury Department. Indeed, it is probable that the Treasury operations have only retarded the re-establishment of normal conditions. When the banks presently resume currency pay- ments in full their action will mark the complete triumph of popular intelligence and judgment ina #ituation which was full of Possibilities of disaster and werdship. ii i i , Me we NOTHING “ROTTEN” HERE. The fellow citizens of Mr. August Busch wiil read with regret his remark in an: interview appearing in the Post-Dispatch that ‘the world ie getting more rotten every day.” It may be, of course, that this opinion is not to be taken literally. The subject matter of dis- cussion Was a suggestion that the brewers refuse t supply saloons in Belleville which were not closed on Sunday. Possibly. Mr. Busch’s pessim- e Was due to the overwhelming surprise which | his proposition occasioned, but the context of utterance would lead to no such presumption, * Thus Mr. Bucch: “I want to do everything 4s fair and right, but I don’t want to go too. te I want to let the Mayor and police do some- thing. I can’t purify the world in ‘four days. fact is, I think the world is getting more rotten every day.” ~ We cannot agree with the gentleman. The World is not rotten at all. It is a good world a sound world, and it is growing better and adele all of the time. It has more excellent men and women than ever before; it has more , liberty and mercy; it has more kindness d charity: it has less meanness, less ignorance, ’ suffering, less wrong and less privation. : Certainly nobody, not even a brewer, can hope

to purify the world in four days, but that Is no|' reason why everybody should not keep everlast- ingly at it. There will be cakes and ale—yes, and beer, too—for mohy generations to come, and there will be nothing rotten about any of them, ‘we oi

BALL PLAYERS KICK THROUGH FORCE» OF HABIT

Average Verbal and Physical Siege of the Umpire Usually no Reflection on the Official's Judgment.

. BY JAMES CRUSINBERRY. | yo ST what makes a baseball player kick on decisions of the umpire is not known. There are times, of course, when he has a kick coming, but more often the umpire is correct. ject if he has a chanee. But even if the player knows the decision was correct he will ob- It seems. to be one of the qualities of a ballplayer to wrangle as often as he thinks he ean'do it without getting benched. Play- ers are often seen to object strenuously with mouth and fists on decisions that they knew were correct. There is no answer for the problem. It seems to be part of the player's na- ture that has been developed in him frem the time he played on the corner lois in his youthful days until he is tinaliy a star weal the big fea PS A great nilience has been. made in the last six years to suppress rowdyism on the ballfield, but the reason it is sup- pressed is because the player fears the Penalty and not because he is of a dif- fercnt. opifion than he was six years’ age. “However, it has eradicated much of the displeasure to the spectator and nowadays the club owner is mainly: try- ing to please his patrons. f ' Englishmen who have heard so. much of the great American ‘game, stare in wonderment on their fifst visit to a con- test In this country When the players rush around .the umpire and’ make threatening gestures and use strong language in thefr protests of some de- cision, pe ; The game of football played by our college students is a great deal more strenuous and likely to arouse the fight- ing blood in a player, and yet how sel- @om do we see a college player wrangle With ran peed ~— a decision. Often @ te aha, all within a few yards li ie de a couple of plays would a push it over for a touch- downy and five or six points, and because of a decision by the,.referee or .umpire the ball is lost or the: team penalized I yards for some slight foul, and yet there is not a single objection made and the game goes on without the least delay. | : , In & game this season -p! Chicaga> and Detroit, whemeither team seemed likely to win tié*Pennant’ and much depended on every . pley, Frank Isbell, the big second baseman for the Chicago club, was on first base with two'men eut and one run needed by Chicago to tie the score. “Issy” tried

to steal second and with a desperate vlide looked from the stunds to have the bag safe. But the umpire declared him out and the big Chicago man rushed up with terrible threats while an angry ioar arose from the Chicago fans. The batter then lined oft a two-base. hit which meant that Isbell would have scoréd easily had he been. sticcessful in the steal. But the game ended with- out any’ further scoring, while the crowd left the grounds declaring it had béen robbed. of the game. When Isbell was seen after se seane some ardent fan remarked to ‘You were robbed of that Shoal and it lost us the game.’ Imagine the surprise of that fan when Issy replied: “No, we weren't. I was out, all right. I didn’t get within a ‘foot of the bag before he touched me.” Issy, That..is-only one instance where a ball player made a‘kick when he knew the umpire was correct. There have been dozens of the same kind, but the people who sit back in the grandstand cannot see the play and naturally side with their favorites and leave the grounds thinking they were robbed when the de- decision had been properly made The magnates of the leagues are deal- ing with the preblem every year and trying to abolish all rowdyism on the ball field, and indeed have accomplished much hy their stringent rules on dis- order. But they will never accomplish the task’ completely until the idea of orderly playing, ig; instilled into the minds of the lyers themselves. When tnat is done it is doubtful if they wil have as good ball players on the clubs as they have today.

INDOOR PLAYERS Hofman’s Team Braces for Seconc Game After Losing in - First, 14 to 7.

Artie Hofman, the local booster for the indoor gaine of baseball, is on a still hunt today for experts at the winter style of play. Having been chopped down by a score of 14 to 7 in the first game with the Chicago men, most of whom are shining lights on the- big league diamonds in the hot months, Artie has decided that the St. Louts team must take a decided brace to win out in the series of six games to be played with the Windy City slugzers. The first game of the series attracted a lot of attention and drew a big crowd of ‘fans and curious spectators at. the Ice Palace, where John Meyers is hold- ing the games. Before the game started the St. Louis boys, a lot of whom are regulars on the Browns and Cardinals, were hot favorites. Practice on the Train. It had been learned that the only team. practice the Chicago fellows had taken was a couple of hours in the par- Louls, ahd for that reason it was thought .they could not get the hang of the new game so quickly. The first seven innings was a hand- to-hand battle, the score being tied most of the time, and then all of a sudden the batting eye of the Chicago big leaguers changed to fit the big soft ball, and they banged it into the bal- conies and rafters of the hall and shot the scores around the with surprising manner. Herman Schaefer, the Detroft Tiger clown, was swinging on the ball in home-run fashion, and only the iron rafters cut him off of a’couple of four sackers. Chas. O’Iéeary, his side partner at Detroit; Billy Sullivan, the great White Sox backstsp; Tom Hughes, Washington’s big pitcher, and little Frank Roth, now of MilwaukKee, all caught the swing of,the indoor bat at the same time, and in the eighth inning they whackec in seven runs in one bundle, ; Loenls Put Out, That put the St. Louis boys out of the running,, but Hofman. claims to have a new pitcher for tonight’s game who can twist the ball out of shape, and Artie thinks he will surely whip the Windy City fellows.

MINUS T0 BEG A CHICAGO CLUB American Association Will Ask Big Leaguers for Franchise in the Windy City.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, Dec. 5.—When the National League magnates convene at New York in their annual business meeting next Tuesday they probably will be asked to give their consent to placing an American Association team in Chicago. The same proposition may be put up to the American League club owners when they begin. their winter session here a week fram today. The American members haven’t much hope of having their request granted, but they figure if they are turned down in asking for permission to invade Chi- cago, they may stand a better chance of securing some concessions along other lines from the big leagues. The Association is wild for any kind of baseball legislation that will make it a bit better off than the leagues of lower class and the eclub owners ap- narently think the petition, for a club in Chicago, even if dénied, would prove an entering sees or * for future favors.

To a Post-Dispatch reporter Mr. Cow- herd repeated his declaration, in a for- mal interview given out before:he start- ed from:»Kansas City Wednesd night, | that he is strongly in favor keeping the baloons closed on Sunday. “T favor the continuance of the nitésent regulations in reference to Sunday sa- loons,” he said, “and I also am strongly in favor of local option throughout the State. I believe in letting every com- munity decide the liquor question for it- self.’”’ When asked what he thought about State prohibition; Mr, Cowherd answered evasively. His friends say he does not favor it.

William Becker of 4215 Natural Bridge road, charged in Judge Pollard’s court by Mamie Kleen, his pretty 18-year-old sister-in-law, with making love to her Oct. 4, won his discharge Thursday by proving an alibi. The time sheets of the company which employs him, the Newstead Auto Supply Co., were ad- mitted as evidence and showed that on that day Becker was at work. In case this plea should fail, Becker had on hand two physicians by whom he hoped to prove that he was men- taly deranged if he ever made love to miss Kleen, Dr. J. C.: Bram, superin- tendent of the Baptist Hospital, and Dr. Allen Wilson, 1614 Wagoner place, were not willing to testify to Beoker’s insanity, but would go so far as to say he suffered with melancholia, At the first hearing of the case two weeks ago, Miss Kleen and her mother, Mrs. Katherine Kleen of 4828 Natural Bridge road testified that Becker an- noyed his sister-in-law with unwelcome attentions, He was technically charged with disturbing the poace.

Tells how to. prepare the Vegetable Prepara- tion for relieving Rheumatism without the slightest injury to the stomach.

Thousands of men and women who have felt the sting and torture of this dread. disease, which is no respecter of age, persons, sex, color or rank, will be intérested to know that while for many years rheumatism was con- sidered an incurable disease, now it is one of the easiest afflictions of the hu- an body to conquer. Medical science as proven it not a distinct disease in itself, but a symptom caused by in- active kidneys. eumatism is uric acid in the blood and other waste pro- ducts of the system which should be filtered and strained out in the fotm of urine. The function of the kidneys is to sift these poisons and acids out and peep the blood clean and pure. The idneys, however, are of sponge-like substance, the holes or pores of which will sometimes, either from overwork, cold or exposure become clogged and inactive, and failing in their function

of eliminating these poisons from the blood, they remain in the veins, decom- pose and settling about the joints and muscles, cause the untold suffering and pain of rheumatism and backache, often producing complications of blad- der and urinary disease, etc. . The following simple prescription is said to relieve the worst cases of rheu- matism because of its direct action upon the blood and kidneys, relieving. too, the most severe forms of bladder and urinary troubles: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Mix by shaking well in a bottle ard take in teaspoonful doses after each meal and at bedtime. The ingredients can be had from any good prescription phar- macy, and are absolutely harmless and safe to use at any time. Hitrs SHOE Co. S. W. Cor. 6th and Franklin Ave. oe FRIDAY ATS A.

THURSDAY—

ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH -DECEWRER 5, 1907 .

In almost every line of manufacture. there ‘is some one article that is recognized as the standard—one that is made a basis for comparison by all competing articles. Among Piano-Players the Standard the world over is _ The PIANOLA O INTO what corner of the globe you will, the name and fame of the Pianola will be found to have preceded you. In Berlin the Piano-player which has the next largest sale to the Pianola is not even known by name to New Yorkers. And so a Piano-player which may have succeeded in building up a local reputation in certain sections of the United States is totally unheard of in Paris or St. Petersburg. : ' The interest that such a fact has for the mtending purchaser of a Piano-player is just this: It stands to reason that the article which can enter the markets of the entire world, taking the pre-eminent position in every instance, must be possessed of unusual and remarkable merits. The Pianola has to-day a greater sale and popularity than that of all other Piano-players together. The two counts that have given the Pianola its lead throughout the world have been its musical and its mechanical superiority. There is no other Piano- player that costs so much to build, that controls such important patents, that plays with such delicacy and affords such perfect contro! over all the elements that go to constitute artistic piano-playing. The testimony of the musical world on these points is overwhelming. Rosenthal says: “Nothing has more closely approached hand-playing than the Pianola.”* Paderewski says: ‘The Pianola ts perfection.” Josef Hofmann says: “The Pianola is beyond all competitors.” Kubelik says: “1 have seen all the different piano attachments, but the Pianola is the only one which could be considered seriously, for it is the only one which is musical or artistic.”’ Chaminade says: ‘The Ptanola ts the only tnstrument that allows the player to interpret the feel- ing and the emotion that the work which he interprets faspires.”’ Other eminent musicians who have paid tributes to the Pianola and to no other Piano-player are Richard Strauss, Edvard Grieg, Humperdinck, Moszkowski, Joachim, Caruso, Alfred Hertz, Reisenauer, etc., etc. : Discriminating buyers of today understand that the best article of its class is ’ the cheapest in the end, especially when it costs no more than “the next test.” The genuine Pianola is on sale in St. Louis only at Aeolian Hall. Every Pianola, to be genuine, must bear the name of the Aeolian Company. 7 Model K Pianola with Metrostyle $215 Themodist Pianola with Metrostyle $300 Purchasable by Monthly Payments.
