For 4 time it seemed a wide swath would be cut through the warehouse and factory district. But while the flames raged the flag. which had been raised last night in honer of the holiday, flapped gaily in the breeze. Several times the Mag caught fire from sparks, but each time the tiny biaze died out. The firemen finally made the flag’s salvation a matter of pride and every time it was threatened a stream Was turned on it. The fire started in the chair fac- tory of Edward B. Jordan and spread rapidly. In two hours the southern end of the factory had been practic- ally destroyed. It was over this sec- tion of the structure that the flag waved.

BUY CONVICTED MAN OF KILLING DY ADMITS LYING Victims’ Relative Says Police Taught Him to Swear Away Billik’s Life.

COURT ~ UPHELD HIM

Pardon From Gov. Deneen Only Hope Accused Has of Escaping ‘Gallows. CHICAGO, tew. 22.—Eighteen-year-oli Jerry M. Vrzal, whose testimony more than anything else convicted the Bo- hemian fortune teller, Herman Billik, ot the murder of six members of the Vrzal family, has recanted, and in an affidavit declares that his testimony was simple perjury. Billik is under sen- tence to be hanged March 20. The Su- preme Court Thursday affirmed the judgment, destroying the man’s last chance unless Gov. Deneen shall issue a pardon. Not long ago a priest visited Gov. Deneen and insisted that Billik was in nocent. Not only does the Vrzaal boy impugn his own evidence, but he declares that two of his relatives also lied. In the affidavit the hov states that cll the vital parts of the testimony he gave against Billik at tne tral were perjury, taught him by a high police official and an Assistant State’s At- torney. set Ife specifically he accuses. In the affidavit Vrzal, who !s now a student in Valparaiso, Ind., asserts that he told the story because a police offi. cial threateced him with a charge of ‘nurder unless ho did as the police wished him to @o. ; The credit for polishing off the fic- titious narrative he gives to the as- sistant State’s Attorney, with whom, he says he was closeted 40 times., the nimes the men vhom -conferences being from one to four hours in duration. He further asserts that the ins] of police summaned him at least 60 times and that these conferences usually lasted two hours. Priest Obtained Retraction, The confession was obtained through the instrumentality of the Rev. P. J. O'Callaghan, head of the Paulist Fathers in this city and past- or of St. Mary’s Catholic Church, working in Billik’s behalf for several] months. Father O’Callaghan in explaining his connection with the case says: “The beginning of my interest dates from last spring. In one of my fre- quent vis'ts to the County Jail I met Sister Rose, who asked me to interest myself in a prisoner named Billik. She said he was there on the charge of murder, but she knew he was an inno- cent man. I said I nad so many calls upon my time and sympathy that I did not feel I could do anything for the man. At any rate, I said, he was 4 for- tune-teller and charlatan. She an- swered, ‘But he should not hang for be- ing such.’ Nun Prayed for Him. “T told her I thought the Judge and jury would do him justice. To my as- tonishment he was convicted, and I felt that I had neglected the cause of an innocent man.- Behind all this case were the prayers of a devored nun who first assured me of Billik’s innocence, and the prayers of the sisters who ‘are called the Poor Clares.”’ Sister Rose of Columbus Hospital, an institution of the Italian order of the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart, is the nun referred to. It was she who converted the car barn bandit, Gustav Marx, who was executed with Nieder- meyer and Van Dyne, the only one of me celebrated trio that dled a Chris- tian. ‘ . a —— ee a = LEADER IN AUTO RACE IS TOWED BY A TROLLEY CAR SOUTH BEND, Ind.

SUED BY GIRL AVS SHE STA AWAY 100 = Village Butcher Declares He Promised Only to Propose to Marissa Young Woman.

In the unfolding of the romance of Miss Nora Whittington of Marissa, IIl., and John Bald, the village butcher, ab- sence did not make the heart . grow fonder and the young woman’s disap- pointment was so great that she has filed suit against John for $7500, alleg- ing breach of promise to marry. Another girl, she says, is about to be- come the butcher's wife preside over the pretty home which he builé when he decided to be married and set- tle down. Mrs. Whittington says that she had every reason to believe that this cozy nest was to be hers. “Promised to Propose.” The village butcher says that her hopes were well founded and that the house would have been Miss Whitting- ton’s if she had not been too coy to give him a chance to ask her to be his bride. According to the petition, prepared by Webb & Webb, attorneys for . Miss Whittington, she was so sure that she was to be married that she came to St. Louis and bought furniture for John’s new house and purchased her trousseau. Miss Whittington is 2 years old and the village butcher is 25. Both are of good family in Marissa. Miss Whit- tington says that they were “going together’ for a year before John pro- posed. When she whispered ‘‘yes,’’ she says, John told her that he would build a home right away. The nexc morning he staked out his lot and graders were put to work. The disappointed young woman says that John came to St. Louis with her when she selected the furniture and the pret ty things that she was to wear at the wedding. Asked Not to Prepare. Last Christmas day was the time set for the wedding, but a few nights be fore that, Miss Whittington says, John called on her ard said: “You had better not make any fur- ther preparations.’’ “Why?” she asked. “Well,” said John, nbout sometiing.”’ Miss Whittington says that, wheu pressed for an explanation, John told her that he wanted her to release him from the engagement because he loved another girl. “I was never engaged to Miss Whit- tington,’’ said Bald over the telephone Saturday. “I went with her about a year. Last June she left Marissa to visit her sister at Herrin, Iil. “She returned’ in December and I went to see her. She seemed to think we were engaged, but I told her it was all over between us. If she bought any furniture or wedding things I don't know it. “I am going with another gir) now. We're not engaged, but maybe we will be. lam going to rent out the house and “T am thinking

LOCKS: TODAY} “rT! a Gy Ik nt wut minal ard PT | a. a There’s the Lid to Be Siviciied the Free Bridge Opposition That Ought to Be Hacked, and the Billboards—Listen to the Sug- gestions of Citizens. HAT would George Washirgten W do with his hatchet if he were in St. Louis? Funny question to ax, Suppose, for instance, on a Sunday and wanted to get some- thing with a cherry in it. Would he chop away the lid, and when angry Mr. Mulvihill arrived a few min- utes later, face him with a bold “I cannot tell a lie?’’ “Not on your Colonial furniture,”’ says the Excise Commissioner. ‘He wvuld hunt up these fellows who are forging recipes—I should say receipts— for taxes, and getting ¢alcon licenses on the strength of them, and he’d toma- hawk a few of them, the way he used to see the Indians do along the Braruy- wine.”’ But that is only one man’s opinion. Other St. Louisans are just as sure that the historic hatchet would be used in some other way. Listen to President Devoy of the Merchants’ Exchange. “He would chop away all the obstacles to the free bridge,”” says Mr. Devoy, “and then he would say to our Mayor, ‘Come on, now, build the bridge.’ ’”’ Mayer Wells, when called up by tele- pathophone at Augusta, Ga., excused himself from Mr. Rockefeller’s society on the links long enough to offer a guess that Washington would use his hatchet to hew a good golf stick. an‘ would then challenge Col. McGrew to a game. ‘Unless George Washington landed from a balloon in the middle of Forest Park,” said Building Commissioner Smith, ‘‘the first thing he would see of St. Louis would be a big billboard. If he had a hatchet with him I don’t think he would overlook a chance like that to use it. And if he did get sent isn’t it? he was here to Police Court he would only have to point out of the window, and when the Judge saw how much better the town looked George would get away with it just as he did with tke-job-out in fa- ther’s orchard.”’ District Attorney Blodgett suggests a woodchopping job of a different kind, which wouldn’t even nick George’s hatchet, if he were careful about nails. “I would like to see him come here and go after the unlawful oleo makers,’ seys Mr. Blodgett, ‘“‘and make kindling of their tubs and barrels and of the cellar doors they hide behind.”’ Postmaster Wyman, who is a “city beautiful’ enthusiast, says that he could show George a place where he could hack away at trees to his heart’s content. ‘Out on our West End streets,’ says Mr. Wyman, “a lot of people are hir- ing tree trimmers who are simply cut- tirag the trees -to pieces. I would ad- vise George Washington, if he came here with his hatchet, to go out there, drive away the bungling trimmers and do the work right himself.’’ ‘“‘He would cut out this street car sys- tem we have, and would give us a modern one, that would run east and west in South St. Louts,’’ says Ben Westhus, president of the South Broac- way Merchants’ Association. You could come pretty near guessing what President Frederick of the Real Estate Exchange thinks Washington would choose as a hatchet target. That is, if you know Mr. Frederick. ‘‘Let him tackle the bridge arbitrary,’ says the Realty Row toastmaster. ite wouldn’t leave any doubt Whether he had destroyed it or not.’ Delegate Frank Hussey mused a min- ute when the subject was suggested. ‘‘Washington was pretty strong against the Ananias line of business, wasn’t he?’ he inquired. Mr. Hussey, being assured that the Father of His Country hated all the progeny of Sapphira and her husband, remarked: “Well, if he took a look-in on the Jefferson Club bunch he’d see so many of them there that he’d take his hatchet and make that clubhouse look like the old Coliseum ruins.” WOMAN SAI 3 IN 1Ct-BOUND BURNING BOAT “a r Heroism of Fair Com- panion. A woman's bravery saved the lives of two men and a boy and prevented a gasoline launch from burning in the IIli- ncis River between Hardin and Grafton at 7 o’clock Saturday morning. Mrs. Hattie Darworth of Hardin is the woman. Elmer Thomas of Hardin end John Beall of Beardstown are the men. Harry Wilson of Graften, aged 15, is the boy. The launch is named the “Mayflower” and is owned by Thomas. Thomas started from Hardin Very early Saturday morning to carry thé other three passengers to Hardin. Near Twelve Mile Island the engine broke and Thomas was unable to steer the craft through the ice. As the ice grew thicker about the May- flower Thomas ordered all hands to rock the ship to prevent the ice from freezing against its sides. In carrying out these orders the gaso- line engine set fire to the launch’s fur- nishings. According to reports that have reached Alton, Thomas, Beall and W'l- son became frightened, put on life pre- servers, when Mrs. Darworth told them rot to do so. She picked up a bucket, opened a*win- dow reached out into the river and fliled the bucket.with water. This she threw on the flames, She repeated this performance until the fire was extinguished. ’ Later the en- | gine was repaired and the trip com- pleted, Mrs, Darwo rth ia 32 years old, a widow and conducts a hotel at Hardin.

Hayden's death became known here yesterday when his assistant staggered into town exhausted, after hours of ex- posure on the ice field and a week’s im- piisonment with the body of his dead comrade. When Hayden died weather conditions were such that his assist- ant dare not leave the lighthouse, and when he did finally venture out the ice was so treacherous as to make every step dangerous. The rescuers started Friday morning. In a straight line the distance from the outer dock to the lighthouse is 10 miles, but undoubtedly long detours were made, as Maumee Bay is reported open in places. The party may cover twice that distance before it reaches Toledo. The best the party hoped for when it left was to reach the crib light, five miles out, by Friday night. At the crib it was expected that a 16-foot boat on runners and a sled would be picked up, but this plan evidently failed. Mexican Policemen Killed. EL PASO.

The railroad between Lima and Cal- lao is making money out of the fleet's visit, as are the small shopkeepers. The line has been completely swamped for two days with visitors on their way from the capital to see the ships and with officers and sailors traveling ug from the harbor to take a look at the Peruvian metropolis. Visitors Throng Warships. The Admiral has issued invitations 10 the South Americans to come aboard any of his ship that are not coaling between 2 and 5 every afternoon, and the harber is black with boatloads of people availing themselves of his hospi- tality. The first division has already taken on all the coal it needs and. the other ships will have full bunkers by Monday night. The voyage from Punta Arenas Was so slow that less fuel was consumed than had been expected. Rear Admiral! Thomas and a big delegation of the American officers are here today to at- tend President Pardo's official recep- tion in their honor. They called informally yesterday with United States Minister Combes, eX- changed greetings with the President and replied to his regreis at Admiral Evans’ illness and consequent inability to come ashore. Visits were also paid to the United States Legation and the Peruvian Ministry of Marine.

Belmont’s Daughter Found Asphyxiated in Her Bed by Servant. JURY SAYS ACCIDENT Mrs. Proudfit Burden, Mother- in-Law, Neglected to Turn Off Gas. NEW YORK, Feb. 22.—It was decided by a Coroner’s jury that Mrs. William Proudfit Burden, who was found dead in her bed at- her Fifth avenue home yesterday, was accidentally killed by in- haling illuminating gas. Mrs. Burden was formerly Natica Rives, a daughter of O. H. P. Belmont, and a favorite in New York, Washing- ton and Newport society. She was 22 years old and her wedding-to William Proudfit Burden, son of the late James A. Burden, on April 17, 1907, attracted attention in the Four Hundred. She and her husband lived at the Burden home, 908 Fifth avenue. Tells Husband Good Night. Burden learned of his -wife’s death from the servants. Entering the house at 11 o’clock Thursday night Burden noticed a light in his wife’s room, and, passing the door, called out: “Good night.’’ Mrs. Burden responded, ‘“‘Good night,”’ in a tone that indicated that she was in her usual health and spirits:, Mrs. Burden had been in the habit of reading after retiring, and had a ‘gas reading lamp on a stand near the head of the bed. Yesterday morning a maid detected the odor of gas, and entering the cham- ber found her mistress dead. The room was filled with gas, though a window was open several inches from the bot- tom. The fumes were pouring from the rubber tubing directly to the dead wom- an’s face. Mrs. Burden’s physicians, Dr. F. K. Kinnicutt and Dr. H. H. M. Lyle, were summoned and notified the Coroner's jury. The gas tube had been disconnected from the lamp. Dog’s Narrow Escape. Near the open window, to which he had crawled, and almost dead from gas, was found Mrs. Burden’s Pomeranian terrier, which slept in the room. Mrs. Burden was the daughter of the first Mrs. Oliver H. P. Belmont, who ‘was Miss Sally Whiting, and who se- qured a divorce after her daughtér was Worn. She retained custody of the child and afterwards married George L. Rives, at one time Corporation Counsel for New York. Following the divorce of her mother and the adoption by Rives, the daughter took the name of her mother’s second husband, and has always been known as Natica Rives. William P. Burden is a nephew of TI. Townsend Burden, and has a large in- ees in the Burden Iron Works at roy. MOVING VAN “ROBBERY” WAS JUST AN EJECTMENT Mrs. Jennie Griffis’ Brother Had Her Effects Moved After the Constable Called. Mrs. Jennie Griffis gave the police of the Wyoming Street Station the thrill ot their lives when she reported what seemed the boldest burglary in years in South St. Louis. She said that while she was away from home four burglars drove to the house in an unlabeled moving van and took everything away except her Canary. Two stoves with fires in them, furni- ture, clothes, pictures, trunks, curtains, bedding and kitchen utensils—all were gone, Mrs. Griffis reported. ; Investigation showed that Louis Kohl- berg, owner of the place, got judgment against Mrs. Griffis in Justice Spies’ ccurt Feb. 18, for the February rent, due in advance, and that, in pursuance t> this, Constable Weltner ejected the terant. Ora Williamson, Mrs. Griffis’ broth- er, was in the house, and telephoned for the moving van, the police learned, They sighed. A great opportunity to distinguish the Wyoming Street Paolice Station by fine detective work was gone.

The evidence in the three-cornered lawsuit before Justice Brady in East St. Louis for the possession of the prize- winning pointer dog “Spot,’’ was too much for the Judge to handle in one day.

QUININITIS IS THE PLEA THAT WINS FOR POLICEMAN ACCUSED OF BEING DRUNK Patrolman Felix ~ Murphy, Assisted by Experts, Convinces Board He Was Not Intoxicated. It has remained for a St. Louis police- man to go Harry Kendal Thaw one bet- ter in the line of discovering men- tal disorders. Patrolman FTelix Mur- phy, Beau Brummel of the Un- ion Station squad, charged with intoxication, made exaggerated ego, dementia Americana and stuporous mel- ancholia look like a splinter in a wooden leg when he described through experts the effects of quininitus. Murphy failed to appear for roll call at Central District Station one night a few weeks ago. When he finally showed himself about eight hours late, accord- ing to Lieut. Hess, his eyes were watery and bloodshot, his gait was unsteady and his tongue was slightly twisted. He was suspended on a charge of intoxica- tion. Murphy denied having been under the influence of liquor. He told the Board of Police Commissioners he had suffered from the effects of an overdose of qul- nine. He said he had taken 75 capsules, containing five grains of quinine éach, within the space of two days and a night in an effort to break up a severe cold and that the drug had made him irre- sponsible. To back up his assertion called two physicians to testify as ex- perts to the effects of quinine. The ex- perts declared that an overdose of qui- nine such as Murphy had taken would produce quininitus, or a condition such as ha@ led Murphy's super.or officer to believe the policeman was drunk. Sev- eral other witnesses testified that Mur- Phy was not @ drinking man. Union Station offic'als and several police cap- tains said Murphy's reputation for so- briety was beyond reproach and the Board dismissed the charges, Probationary Patrolman Louis Fisher of the Carondelet District was d'smissed from the force after several witnesses had testified that he had dcemanded $4.50 from a negro woman after threatening to raid her home.

Thinks She Lest Balance. It is Mr, Bleiock’s belief, he says, that Mrs. Hughes opened the window to get fresh air and leaned out too far, losing her balance. The position of the tar roof does not make this impossible, he says, as Mrs. Hughes may have leaned far to one side, over the edge of it. Mr. Blelock says he is confident her death was accidental.

Investigation showed that a rail had been tern from the track in a deep cui. The spikes had been drawn and the fisn- plates removed. Robbery, Was Planned. The express train from Kansas City for St Louis, due here at 12:44 a. m., would have hit this broken track while running down grade at high speed. It is probable that there would have been great damage and loss of life. Ordinarily there are no trains through this town frotn early in the evening until after the express passes about mid- night. It is presumed that the robbers counted on th's and removed the rail with the expectation of looting the paprese car of the passenger train. he express is also known as ‘“‘bankers’ train.’’ It is said to have carried considerable monev. The freight was an extra from St. Louis. It was under orders to pass the passenger train here and struck the broken rail while going in a direction opposite to that in which the passenger train was going. Three Men Injured. The engine and seven boxcars were wrecked. Three of the train crew were injured, one probably fatally. Engineer Robert Johnson's left ieg was broken, Fireman John Duncan’s back was ser- iously injured and his face was cut, and Hugh Harvey, head brakeman, was cut and bruised. The injured were wprought here and then taken to Sedalia, 13 miles west, on the passenger train. Notification sent to that city brought a tra‘nioad of officials and detectives here before 7 a. m. Engineer Johnson told one of the sur- geons who attended him that when he neared the scene of the wreck he saw a mean holding a lantern, but after the ‘wreck the stranger disappeared. Secret service men on the scene think the man with the lantern is buried under the debris. BRINGS CARLOAD LOUT HERE HOM BUSTON Prisoner Admits Taking $15,- 000 Worth of Leather From Railroad Yards. the

Leather valued at $15,000, stolen from a railroad car in Boston and shipped 100 miles to St. Louis, is being held by order of the police at the depot of the Cctumbia Transfer Co. William Wilson, alias W. E. Johnson, and C. A. Wil- liams, who has admitted the theft to Chief of Detectives Smith, is a prisoner in the Central District holdover. Be- fore being assigned to a cell Wilson was treated at the City Dispensary for al- coholism. The Boston police have been informed of his capture. Wilson was arrested Friday afternoon after Detectives McKenna and Sullivan had obtained information that he was trying to dispose of 11 cases of leather io various local shoe firms and leather dealers. Makes na Full Confession. When taken to Police Headquarters Wilson refused cat first to make a statement, but when told that an- other man was to be arrested shortly he made a full confession. ‘“] worked for one leather concern in Boston for 16 years,” said Wilson. “IT was a driver, shipping clerk and outside man. I learned the trade from A to Z but never’ entertained a thought of stealing until I began drinking, a few months ago. When I made up my mind to Steal I figured that one big job would be better than a lot of small ones and so I decided to take a whole carload of leather at one time. “I learned that a:consignment of finished ieather was enroute to the factory of Brown & Fiske, leather dealers in Boston, and laid for it. I purchased eleven boxes and had them markea ‘W. E. Johnson & Co... St. Louis. Then I hired a stake wagon, drove down to the railroad yards, found the carload of leather side- tracked on track 13, and deliberately loaded the leather from the car to the wagon drove from there to the New York Central depot and shipped the stuff here to a broken down salesman, denned I had requested to receive it for "y told him I was Johnson and asked him to represent himself as the com- ny, but I did not let — Be tng how I Pad come into possess'o He had nothing to do with the mune The detectives saw Wilson in the neighborhood of i ae cel and Olive streets was ng t leather and t ey trailed him.

Walsh's Southern Indiana Railroad has passed another payday without settling with the employes. The pay car was-due at Terre Haute day before yesterday and failed to appear. Announcement was made today that the men would be paid March 7. In the Chicago efifce it was stated that Walsh would meet all obligations. The failure to pay the men was the second since Walsh was convicted of wrecking the Chicago National Bank. On Jan. 20 the men were asked to wait. Walsh met his interest payments Feb. 1 and paid his employes Feb.. 1]. The coal business of Southern Indiana for January was only about half of that of the previous January. The payroll for the month amounts to

"PRISON MORE ECTIVE THAN FINES + HUGHES Says Jails Are Proper Places for Men Who Abuse Trade Rights.

CHICAGO, Feb. 22.—Gov. Hughes of New York, addressing the Union League Club’s meeting to commemorate Wash- ington’s birthday, declared himself in fevor of a governmental policy that would prevent discriminating rates or allowances which preclude equal access to markets for all members of industry end against the crushing of the small irdustry by the misuse of large aggre- getions of capital in unfair competi- tion. “But,” he added, “to meet these ob- jections and prevent extortion and op- pression, it is not necessary that busi- ness should be involved in uncertainly or that legitimate effort should be han- dicapped.”’ He declared fines upon corporations, particularly upon large corporations with monopolistic powers, to be unjust because they are easily transferred upon the public or upon the ‘stockholders, ‘who in large numbers are without knowledge of the wrong or power to prevent its commission.”’ “The punishment is most salutary,” said Gov. Hughes, “when it is visited upon the guilty individuals. Few men can be hired to go to jails and if offenses which public sentiment recog- nizes to be of a grave character are punished by imprisonment, the law is more likely to be obeyed and the pun- ishment to have its desired effect.” Two statements in the speech were taken by his listeners to indicate the principal point wherein Gov. Hughes thinks the policy he advocates differs from what he conceives to be the pol- icy of President Roosevelt. His reference to the fines for monopo- listic corporations was accepted ag meaning the $29,000,000 fine against the Standard Oil. But Gov. Hughes did not mentior President Roosevelt or the present ad ministration at any point in his address. Ile was greeted with much applause. In Merchants’ Exchange ? ing They Protest Agaioate + Statements to Contrary. — DINNER PLANS OPPOS TT Speakers Declare Should Not Be Given Commission Yet. ————— AS ' At a meeting of the grain deslers t. the Merchants’ Exchange Friday afte ig nooa .t was made plain that the bridge arbitrary on grain shipped to this ket 2nd on some shipped from this ket has not been removed.

_* WE MUST HAVE A FREE BRIDGE. Having long accustomed itself to speaking in general terms of the bridge arbitrary as ‘‘abol- ished,” St. Louis is awake to the fact once more that that grievous toll is still most offensively in evidence. Calling a bridge arbitrary by another name does not change its character in the least, and, as merchants and manufacturers have found out to their sorrow, it does not make much differ- exice with the freight rates that they pay. Intelligent discussion of this matter such as that which is now in progress will prove highly beneficial, but the best and the quickest results will be reached by pushing the free bridge enter- prise. That was the lever which weakened the grip of the Bridge Trust and induced it to hold out the hope of emancipation to the city’s commerce. It may be depended upon, if energetically forwarded, to complete the work. The free bridge ought to have been under way long ago. So long as it remains only a project on paper there need be no expectation of com- plete deliverante from the exactions of the Trust. Many influences have contributed to delay in this vork, but one of the most. potential has been the _ premature assumption that the evil which it was Cesigned to correct had already been removed. Every meeting and every banquet held to dis- ‘cuss the bridge arbitrary in any of its phases— past, present or future—should be turned into a free bridge demonstration at an early stage of the proceedings. . IN AGREEMENT AS TO MR. BRYAN. At a dollar dinner at Langdon, Mo., the re- doubtable Col. David A. Ball referred to Mr. - Bryan as “the greatest man in the United States,” Cowherd said that Missvuri “would biazon forth to the world her confidence in the ' personality of Mr. Bryan.”’ These ideas are unobjectionable. Let the Dem- otrats say that Mr. Bryan is the greatest man in “the world, barring none, and let Missouri blazon _ forth right along her confidence in the personality

be eo of Mr. Bryan. Plenty of people will agree to both sentiments. It is possible that all Democrats could be persuaded to subscribe to both of them. t why not let it go at that? Why keep Hight on nominating a man for the presidency ‘who cannot be elected and who, having what he _ thinks is a better job, does not care much whether he is or not? 7. = a HARD TIMES AT THE CITY HALL. Instead of How's army marching to the City Hall, the latter will be sending recruits to How’s army, if the hard luck stories emanating from the neighborhood of the House of Delegates may be credited. Tt seems that the panic induced among the fra- ; - ternity by the late unpleasantness which overtook - Danny Naughton, Warner and Priesmeyer has _ been succeeded by a depression in which the pick- tng is so slim as to be hardly worth mentioning. _ Certain industries have been visited by a perfect blight of civic righteousness and resumption of currency payments is postponed indefinitely. _ The unemployed, having only their salaries to live upon, are grumbling and the outlook is ex- tremely dark and uncertain. It looks as if some of them would have to go to work, unles they can find something else to do. . They are too proud to accept food and shelter from the State, but it is possible that relief measures will be taken to _ end a part of them to Jefferson City, at least _. Matil the cold weather is over, if the worst comes to the worst.

Owen Wr., like Winston Churchill, has gone down at the polls. The abundant evidence that a literary man cannot be elected to office confirms the insistent claim of some of Mr. Roose- velt’s critics thgt he is not a literary man. Inasmuch as all the people attending the Pike County banquet tonight are standing candidates for office, the ban- quet will make out somehow with cider out of respect for the temperate tone of the times. A chain of Ten-Cent Stores has failed. Paraphrasing their own boast, we may conclude that they were able to do this because they did not advertise in the newspapers. A supporter of Bryan and his money are soon parted.

From the New York World of Today. Mr. Bryan frankly confesses that he is shaping his campaign to ‘“‘secure the support of Roosevelt Republicans.” He absolves Mr. Roosevelt from blame for the recent panic. He prints Mr. Roosevelt's recent message in the Com- moner under the militant headline “The President's Cali to Arms.”’ His speech at Columbus on Feb. 18 defends Mr. Roosevelt and says: “My criticism would be that he did not commence soon enough to storm the fort.” Mr. Bryan's followers are no less de- lighted than he with Mr. Roosevelt's policies and rhetoric. Ex-Gov. Varda- man of Mississippi says of the message: “In many respects it is Democratic doc- trine—taken hot off the hearts and out of the patriotic, pregnant, pulsating brains of the real Democratic leaders of America.”’ In an outburst of hill-billy enthu-

He possesses tremendous advantages over Mr. Bryan. He can be'elected. He has proved that he can poll 23,000 more votes in Mr. Bryan's Own State than Mr. Bryan ever polled. Roosevelt can carry Nebraska, which Mr. Bryan cun- not do. Mr. Roosevelt has shown that

He was ex- at length to amplify what was | his confession. nities and admits that he is a grafter. You don’t have to prove it. He has a nose for seekers after spe- cial municipal privileges. He shows them the easy way. He is an adept at getting innocent appearing ordinances through the Assembly, getting permits, remitters and allowances. He knows the machinery of City Hall and he knows the right men. No one ever ac- cused him of failing to make a fafr divide and he will fight for his share of the loot as fiercely as you will fight to retain honest gains. He hates re- formers with an abiding hatred and tale bearers, snitches and leakers are ana- thema to him. Being honest up to his lights, he rec- ognized the honesty of John King and placed him in the incomparable. com- pany of his mother and sisters. Dinky found Augustine in the obvious place—where the deputy sheriffs had not looked—his office. “Say, Auggie,”” he remarked, snitch.’’ “I'd never let any other man gay that of you,’’ Augustine replied amiably. “What's wrong?’ “I’m on my way to confession and I want to know what you are going to do about it.’’ “Spiel!’’ commanded Augustine. “Tanner tipped you on the specifica- tions; Tanner nipped them, and me to the grand jury with the whole truth and nothing but the truth.’’ ‘What's it to you?” “Nothing. That’s the funny part. I don’t come in for anything, but I’ll snitch all right if you don’t take care of King.”’ “You eternally condemned course I'll take care of him.’’ “How?” ‘“‘Head bookkeeper.” “Won't do.’’ “What do you mean?” “You're a fine haired, sort of a guy, Auggle, but you don’t trot in the King company. You're just like me, a grafter, but your coco has solid places where the brains don’t move about. You ain’t seen King since this thing opened up and I alin’t seen him, but I know what he thinks and you don’t. King says you're a cadger, a connie. Whenever he has a picture ef you in his mind you've got stripes all the way round and you’re making little ones out of big ones.” “Cut it.’’ “Do you think he'd do business with you? Not—never in a thousand years. You're crooked and he’s straight as a steeple.”’ “What do you want then?” It was instructive that Augustine accepted Dinky’s threat at its face value. “You turn up Tanner.” Atigustine walked to the window and looked out. He wanted time to think, but he saw no way to outwit Dinky. When a grafter turns snitch he has a long and interesting tale to tell. Presently Augustine nodded in ac- ceptance of the inevitable. He went out, followed by Dinky, and still fol- lowed he presented himself to the grand jury. The long lost contractor found him- self after officers had failed. He told a jovial tale of business, indicated Tan- ner as his source of information and admitted that Tanner lifted the speci- fications from King’s desk and gave them to him. It was simply a stroke of business to get ahead of competitors, he claimed. Denied in toto that any combine existed and figured his possi- ble profit at a small sum. But as Dinky predicted, King refused to breathe the same atmosphere as Augustine, refused to talk and forbade his family all association with the Au- gustines. Every little gift was ruth- lessly bundled back to the contractor in spite of Flora’s tears. Then John went forth to seek a job. “What I can’t understand is why you did it, Dinky,’’ Augustine remarked. : ‘Aw, wouldn’t you help a kid when a ble guy was after him? I never did stand for soaking women and kids and priests."’ DREAD OF PREMATURE BURIAL. From the Boston Transcript. That horribly gruesome topic, prema- ture burial, has recently been discussed in a book written by two Englishmen, who plead earnestly for the establish- ment of all possible means for averting such a fate. That most of the signs of death accepted by physicians and at- tendants are fallible is the disquieting statement these writers make, and to read it is to wish with them for legisla- tion everywhere that will prevent the issue of a death certificate till the per- son signing it shall have detected un- mistakable signs of death. It is further urged by the authors of the work that mortuaries like some of those in Gér- many should be maintained in com- multies, that every possible precaution may be taken against premature burial. The appearance of the .book is timely and should strengthen appeals rest- ing before every Legislature for the passage of laws that will prevent burial while there is life, even if all the means to this end which it suggests are not feasible. nena erenSEpSo ee ay “I’m a rat!

BY MAURICE KETTEN.

THE TRUTH ABOUT THE NEWEST BOOKS.

Forerunners.ef Spring Publications Reviewed by Writers for the Post-Dispatch.

N Charge of the Consul” is a story of life in Germany by a St. Louis writer, Ella F. Padon. Five American girls are abroad for a whole year of study and travel. They are ia charge of the American Consul, Col. Wentworth, who is described by Effie as “the wisest, the cleverest, the noblest, the bravest and the best of all the colonels in the world.’’ They learn to appreciate zweibak and cabbage ealad and all Germany cookery. They touched a romance in which a High Well-Born Countess figured. They mingled with Counts and Countesses and Barons, and were presented at court. Myra almost married a Baron, but Jack heard of her danger, dropped his political ambitions and arrived in time to save her. The story ripples with conversation and sparkles with incident indicative of the clashing German and American view- points. Frau Wentworth is a fine creation, a dominating lady wedded to the Consul but happily imbued with the German gospel of wifely submission. (Badger. ) Deliciously whimsical and full of the saving grace of humor, “The Morals of Marcus Ordeyne’ and ‘“‘The Beloved Vagabond,”’ by William J. Lock, are two of that select company of books that will live beyond the passing season. Mr. Locke reminds one of Anthony Hope in his brilliancy of dialogue and his stories are constructed along novel and original lines. The indictment of conventilon- ality cannot be made against him. Wherefore, let us be thankful, for the un- conventionality he revel in brings genuine joy to the jaded readers of the ‘‘most recent” fiction. ‘“‘The Morals of Marcus Ordeyne”’ has already been made into a play, which will come to St. Louis in a few weeks and “The Beloved Vaga- bond’ is soon to meet the same test. Marcus Ordeyne’s peculiar morals en- tangle him with socilety,. the cause being a Turkish girl he found deserted on the streets of London. Though family, friends and society turn against him, he feels he owes a duty to the little barbarian and he instructs her till she con- forms to his environment and becomes Mrs. Ordeyne. He is an engaging cynic and she a charming chi'd of the desert. Parogot, the ‘‘beloved vagabond,” is a fascinating character, whose wit, hu- manity and unfailing good nature quickly make him beloved of the reader. Perhaps you never thought of it, but stained glass windows can tell won- derful stories, particularly if they happen to be in the ancient churches of I’rance. There are men who can look at one of these precious panes and tel! when, where and by whom it was niade. There fs as much art in their compo- sition and design as in a.picture. “Stained Glass Tours in France” isn’t a thrilling title for a book, but Charles Hitchcock Shernile has made it well worth even the layman’s study. You will not read far before you discover you are in fascinating, if new, fields of literature. An auto trip through France becomes doubly inviting. (John Lane Co.) 66

A vusy nobleman is the Baron Palle Rosencrantz, who, instead of woo- ing American gold through an heiress, is seeking it through his literary creations, The Baron not only can write novels, but he can also find plenty of publishers. for two of his stories are introduced simultaneously to the American public by different publishing houses. “The Magistrate’s Own Case” is published by McClure’s, while the Empire Book Co. prints “The Man in the Basement.” Both are fascinating crime stories with the detect- ive element cleverly presented. Simiiar in theme, they are the sort of yarns one insists on finishing, once they are begun. The Baron is a wel- come invader in Bookland. He Knows how to write stories that are full of thrills. They are clean and wholesome, too. Another attempt to popularize the economic theories of Karl Marx comes now from the pen of Ernest Untermann. He calls his book ‘‘Marxian Econom- ics,’’ Of course, this is one of many books trying to make Marx easy enough te be understood by the workingmen and by persons who have not studied enough economics to be able to understand what has been called “The Bible of Socialism’ (‘Das Kapital’). Prof. Untermann, who fs one of the intellec- tual leaders of the Socialist movement of America, seems to be the fit person for his task. He understands economics well, and Marxian economics particu- larly well, As he says in his forword, Prof. Utermann does not try to epitomize, but only to present the results of Marxian analysis. “The Republic,” by N. P. Anderson, 1s a book in which Socialism and eco- nomics are discussed in & novel way. It is an attempt to get to understand the individual by first understanding society and this is done by aid of dis- cussions between imaginary persons—a retired banker, a wealthy money own- er anda professor of social and politica: economy. The author succeeds in kcoping the interest of the reader to the end, where he comes to the conclu- sien that the problems of labor can be so.ve«l only by adopting the co-operative commonwealth, in other words, by nations 7'ng the instruments of produc- tion as well as the agents of transportat! » exchange.

Sidney Paternoster, who wrote “The Motor Pirate,” has more than duplicated that success in ‘‘The Lady of the Blue Motor.” He has created a dashing heroine, whose audacity and exhibitions of tpeed-madness will bring joy to the heart of every auto fiend who reads about her. But the story is not for motorists only. The common people who walk or ride the street cars, will keenly enjoy the novel situations, rapid action and somewhat amazing escapades with which the book abounds. (Page.)

A feature in the early spring for the fans of Philadelphia will be a game between the Athletics and the University of Pennsylvania teams.

Jim MeGuire may find that he has picked up a good pitcher in Cicotte, the French-Canadian who was se- cured from the Lincoln team of the Western League. Cicotte was origi- nally picked up by Detroit several years ago and farmed out to Augusta in the South Atlantic League, officiat- ing for that team the year that Ty Cobb broke into the game.

McAleer was greatly disappointed because Jimmy did not report, as it was thought he needed the early training more than any other player on-the team, but Williams assures his new owner that he is in good condi- ery day. He will report here on March 3, ready to go South with the club and regretted that he was unable to attend the session over at the Springs. No word came from George Stone, the other member of the squad who was asked to report for the French Lick trip. President Hedges is still hopeful that he will come in some time during the day or even the first part of the week, so that he can get the water drinking training over at the Indiana resort.

The race is unusual in that only one of the 10 teams was lapped. This is the Taylor-Butler combination, of which wonders were expected.

The Coal City (TIl.) soccer eleven will play the St. Leos team at Kulage Park Saturday afternoon in the first of a se- ries of two games, the second to be played at Kulage Park Sunday after- noon. The Coal City team arrived Friday night and is staying at the Missouri Athletic Club.

The four Tallman brothers are in St. Louis and are expected to play on the Coal City team. Jim and Joe Flynn and Dave and John Miller will play for the St. Leos.

NEW YORK WOULD WELCOME WAL LACE Gotham Fans Hear Rumor That Browns’ Shortstop Is to Go to Griffith.

NEW YORK, Feb. 22.—The baseball fans of this city do not know whether the going of Rube Waddell to St. Louis started the rumor that Bobble Wallace was coming to play shortstop for the Yankees or not. Foxy Sunny Jim Mc- Aleer is reported to have said that he would give Wallace to the New York Americans for either Kid Elberfeld or Hal Chase. This is the trade Jim Me- Aleer is working on at the present time, according to writers in the West. It has also been seen, in the smoke, Grif consenting to let Chase or Ejber- feld get away for the great Wallace. The dream has many turns, and another one is Griffith dealing out Jake Stahl] to St. Louis with a check for a few thousand. When all this was being tooted around the fan club there was = noise that sounded like someone dropping from Abe Nahon’'s office. Would Welcome Wallace. Of course all hands know that Wallace is kicking up for more rocks, also that he is some shortstop, and would be wel- comed with opened arms with any of the clubs, but it can safely be said that Elberfeld, Chase and Stahl wil] bat them out and get the bad and good ones on the hilltop. ? Fans are aware that many a funny thing is pulled of in baseball, but this will not come off this season or the next. Clark Griffith has made all the changes he is going tO make with the New York club. There is only one thing left for the Yankees to do, and that is to get in shape for the opening of the season, which they are doing in great style. Worried Over Catchers, It begins to look as if Manager Grir- cording t will be al Klelnow will do most ever, from the way alimself in back © he that With Rickey reason why the Yankee team going catch- ng end of the should cause any worry.

SKATERS. READY OR FINALS AT ~ NF ALAT INK a Two-Mile Roller Champion- ship Will Be Decided in Race Saturday Night.

Entries for Semi-Final Races. Rodney Peters, St. Louis, oodward, Johnstown, Pa, Al Cookson, St. r ’ : Charles Williams James Sweeney, St. Joe Benson, St. Louis. Terrell Peters, St. Louis. W. H. Wilson, Pittsburg, Pa. Earl Sanford, Jack Woodward and Rodney Peters are expected to put up a great finish in the final race for the two-mile roller skating championships at the Jai Alai roller rink Saturday night. Peters won the one-mile cham- pionship and Sanford last Saturday night skated a mile in 2:583-5, the fast- est time ever recorded or the Jai Alal track. Woodward has shown such good form in the one-mile event and in the heats for the two-mile championshi this week that the Johnston (Pa. oes must be conceded a chance to win. Ten men are eligible for the semi- finals. Five men will.be started in the first heat and five in the second. The first three men to finish in each heat will meet in the final. Hardly Expect Fast Time. The Jai Alai track is 12 la to the mile, therefore, after skating two miles in the semi-finals it is hardly probable that extra fast time will hung up in the final, although competition will likely be keen. The first semi-final heat will be started at 9 o’clock and the final heat at 9:45. A dead heat for second place was the feature of the races at the Jai Alai Friday night, Conrad Holm of Daven- port, Io., and Terrell Peters of St. Louis coming across the line on even terms. Although the men had already skated four miles, they agreed to skate off a mile for second place. Peters won by about four feet by a fast ges on the last lap. The time was 3:07. Benson Takes His Heat. Joe Benson of St. Louis won his heat and later the qualifying heat In rather easy style. In the first heat Conrad Holm of Davenport, Io., scored his first victory since he fas been — in St. Louis. Benson won the second heat in 6:141-5, the fastest time of the even- ing Benson’s time in the qualifying heat, which he won, was 6:162-5. Ben- son is hardly conceded a chance to get a place in the final Saturday night, as he is too unreliable. JOHNNY KLING WOULD BE A NEW CHAMPION POOL PLAYER Cubs’ Great Baseball Catcher Is- sues Challenge to Hueston. According to advices from Kansas City, Johnny Kling, catcher for the Chicago Cubs baseball team, is not well posted on the pool championship question. Kling is one of the best payers in the country. A few days ago he tried to get Thomas Hueston, the champion, to come to his own room in’ Kansas City and play a match game. Hueston was willing to g0. Kling wanted to play for $200 a side and split the gate receipts. This wou!d give Kling the match free of cost whether he won or lost, with the chance of pulling down quite a neat sum if he won. Hueston in a confer- ence with Kling over the long distance telephone wanted the latter to play for 500 a side and all of the gate receipts, but to this Kling refused. é Now Kling has — $250 and an- nounced that he intends to challenge Hueston for the championship. Hues- ton. however, does not have to play K ling. When he defeated Jerome Keogh of Buffalo in this city recently the championship emblem became his ersonal! property, as he had successful- y defended the trophy against al) com- ers for a yea~.

Taunt of Belleville will lecture on ‘‘Economic Determinism"’ at the Metropoll- tan Hall Sunday afternoon under the aus- pices of the Soctalist party. The Rev. Calvin Hughes, a negro preacher whose name appears in many places in the prisoners’ record at the police station as relics of his past 57 arrests on petty charges. was arrested Baturday morning by Special | Officer Cook of the Illinois Cent ral Railroad | on @ charge of stealing railroad brasses. Patrick Costello and Anna Shea havo filed sult against the Illinois Central Railroad for $1000 damages. In January, 1906, the rall-' road company constructed an embankment on its right of way and the plaintiffs claim that a large amount of dirt was allowed to spread on thoir property. Fire at 8 a. m. Saturday did 8700 damage to the boarding house of John Erwinscky,. Third street and Ohio avenue. The fire was caused by the overturning of a stove in an upstairs room of one of the boarders. The 25 occupants escaped in their nightrobes. The building was owned by W. J. Wallace. The funeral of Clara Newnes, the 13-year- old daughter of Thomas Newnes of 711 North Tenth street, who died Friday night of pneumonia, will be held Sunday at 2 p. m. from the residence to Mount Hope Cemetery.

Brown of Ogden, Utah, arrived in East St. Louls Saturday morning to take back John Manley, who is wanted at Ogden in connection with the dis- appearance of diamond earrings belonging to Ella Livingstone. Manley was arrested last Sunday in a local moving-picture show while singing illustrated songs. Brown has requi- sition papers from the Governor of Utah, but will be compelled to wait until Monday be- fore having the papers signed by Gov. De- neen. Somebody asked why Rhodes-Burfords could afford to sell such fine goods at such low prices. The answer is easy. Buying in such large quantities enables them to get bottom prices on everything.

Fire destroyed the stables of the East St. Louls ami St. Louls Co,, on Third street, in the rear of Wolf's Park, Thurs day afternoon. The damage is estimated at 63000. The fire is thought te have oris- inated from a spark from a passing engine. Bight horses in the stables were driven out by the stableman, John Mekert, and turned loose in the streets. A carioad of hay and feed, two express wagons and several sets of harness were destroyed. Julian Ranovietch of 1116 North Third street was stabbed in the neck with the sharp eteel tip of an umbrella during & with George Loocovietch in the rear of Joseph Reilley's saloon. Ranovietech was taken to St. Mary's Hospital and it is thought he cannot recover. tLoocovietch was arrested at Ninth street and Lynch avenue and is sald to admit doing the stabbing. J. W. Taunt of Bellevilie will lecture on ‘Economic Determinism’' at the Metropoll- tan Hall Sunday afternoon under the aus- pices of the Soctalist party, The Rev. Calvin Hughes, a negro preacher whose name appears in many places in the prisoners’ record at the police station as relics of his past ST arrests on petty charges. was arrested Baturday morning by Special | Officer Cook of the Illinois Cent ral Rallroad | on @ charge of stealing railroad brasses. Patrick Costello and Anna Shea havo filed | sult against the Illinols Central Railroad for $1000 damages. In January, 1906, the rall- road company constructed an embankment on its right of way and the plaintiffs claim that @ large amount of dirt was allowed to spread on thelr property. Fire at 8 a. m. Saturday did 8700 damage to the boarding house of John Erwinscky, Third street and Ohio avenue. The fire was caused by the overturning of a stove in an upstairs room cf one of the boarders. The 25 occupants escaped in their nightrobes. The building was owned by W. J. Wallace. The funeral of Clara Newnes, the 13-year- old daughter of Thomas Newnes of 711 North Tenth street, who died Friday night of pneumonia, will be held Sunday at 2 p. m. from the residence to Mount Hope Cemetery. An illustrated lecture cn ‘‘Beautiful Ire- land’’ will be given Sunday night at St. Patrick’s school hall by Prof. Robert Turner, under the auspices of the Ancient Order of Hibernians. Scenery in Ireland will be shown with 300 dissolving views. Captain of Police C. C. Brown of Ogden, Utah, arrived in East St. Louls Saturday morning to take back John Manley, who is wanted at Ogden in connection with the dis- appearance of diamond earrings belonging to Ella Livingstone. Manley was arrested last Sunday in a local moving-picture show while singing illustrated songs. Brown has requi- sition papers from the Governor of Utah, but will be compelied to wait until Monday be- fore having the papers signed by Gov. De- neen. Somebody asked why Rhodes-Burfords could afford to seil such fine goods at such low prices. The answer is easy. Buying in such large quantities enables them to get bottom prices on everything. See them to- day. PROVISIONS OF ANTE-NUPTIAL CONTRACT ENFORCED BY WILL Wife of John Ross Gets Only $300 and Life Estate in Family Home. The provisions of an ante-nuptial con- tract are ordered carried out in the will of the late John Ross of Smithton, which has just been filed for probate.

An amus- ing feature of the case was the serious ; manner in which the Count’s c:sunsel de- fended him from the imputatic: of hav- ing given the necklace to some other ‘woman. Boni, said the advocate, was too much admired by the other sex to be obliged to have recourse to presenis to secure their favors.

Kroeger will begin on Saturday morning, March 7, at 11 o’clock and _ ~will continue throughout Lent. Many students. and music lovers look forward with great interest to these recitals, because Mr. Kroeger plays many standard compost- tions infrequently presented to: the pub- lic, and also novelties which attract the. attention of the musical world at the present day. The programs will be about one hour and a quarter in length, and will be well contrasted in the selections. Mr. Kroeger’s large repertoire makes this an easy matter. Ten O'Clock Musicale will give their reciprocity meeting at the home of Mrs. Watson, 56285 Washington boulevard Feb. 26. Mrs. Biackmore, chairmaa of the meeting, has arranged an excellent pro- gram. Each number will be given by a member of one of the musical clubs of the city. € The officers of the Union Musical, wishing to emphasize the social feature of the club and promote acquaintance among its members, are giving a recep- tion on next Tuesday afternoon, Feb. 25, from 3 to 6.

He was wel\ received by the audience and scored a {ine success, being recalled two or three times at each intermission and at the ciose of the last number. The most en- thusiastic among the audience were a number of professional pianists who, by their applause signified their appre- ciation of his exceptional work. His presenfation of the “‘Fantasie’’ by Cho- pin received the heartiest recognition and was without doubt the best number in the exceedingly difficult program. A musicale was given by violin and riano pupils of Miss Lina Reinholdt at Henneman Hall Thursday evening, in which Irving Strauss, Adelaide Park- hurst, Marguerite Wiebe, Annabel Nul- sen, Albert Wiebe, Corinne Barry, Tom Parkhurst, Florence Mueller, Jeanette Trost and Edna Grupe took part. Mrs. Dewey A. Hickey was the accompanist for the evening. Mr. Alexander Henneman will pre- sent his triologue, “‘Sacred Music’’ for the Union Musical Club on the night of March 12. Mr. Henneman uses a ster- foptican lantern to illustrate his subject pictorially and therefore the evening has been chosen, their other recitals being given if the afternoon. Mrs. Loaring Clark will give a vocal recital Tuesday, Feb. 25, at 8:15 Dp. m., in the Recital Hall of Musical Art Building. She will be assisted by her pupil, Miss Leila Hughes, assisted by Miss Jane Curd (pupil of Vianna da Motta, Berlin) and Mr. Charles Gal- loway.

There was intense excitement at both opera houses last night. Mr. Ca- ruso denied himself to several news- paper men, but when finally he was reached he said he had not resigned.

Twill Help Yous Woman’s Relief Cardui, the woman’s remedy, has been known for many years as ‘‘Woman’s Relief, ’’ since it has positiv ely proven its great value in the treatment of w omanly diseases. "Twill help you, if you are a sufferer from any of the ills peculiar to women which can be reached by medicine. Why? Because it has done that for many thousands of other sick women, as grateful letters from them, received every day, clearly de- scribe. Because its ingredients are exclusively veg: etable, and contain no mineral or poisonous drugs. For headache, backache, nervousness, irrita-

a bility, and other symptoms of general female ments, Cardui has been found quick = and safe relief. Mrs. R. L. Denney, of Huntsville, Ala., writes: ‘‘I think Cardui is far ahead of anything for weak women. It does me more good than any med- icine I have ever taken. I cannot praise it too highly. I think it is the best woman’s medicine on earth.’’ Sold everywhere. Try it.

Many People of St. Louis Using Home Made Remedy,

Local druggists say hundreds of people pur- chased simple ingredients last week and some remarkable tales are told here.

To make up enough of the “Dande- lion treatment,” which is claimed to be relieving nearly every sufferer who uses it for backache, kidney complaint, sore, weak bladder and rheumatism; get from any good prescription phar- macy one-half ounce Fiuid Extract Dandelion, one ounce Compound Kar- gon and three ounces Compound Syrup of Sarsaparilla. Shake well in a bot- tle and take in teaspoonful doses after each meal and again at bedtime. Those who have tried it claim that it acts gently but thoroughly on the kidneys, relieving backache and blad- der trouble and urinary difficulties al- most instantly. Many cases»of rheu-

matism are known to have been re- lieved, within a few days, the plain aad swelling diminishing with each dose. A well-known local druggist, who is | in a position to know, asserts that Ahis rescription, wherever it becomes nown, always ruins the sale of the numerous patent medicine rheumatism eures, kidney cures, etc. It is a recipe which the majority of patent medicine manufacturers, and even certain physi- cians dislike to see published. Few eases, indeed, which will fail to fully yield to its peculiarly soothing and healing influence. Being composed of common every-day ingredients, which can be had from any druggist, it makes up a good, honest and harmless remedy and at nominal cost.
