Wm. Marous’ Story of a Work- house Tragedy. MUST BE INVESTIGATED. Says Guard Gustave Krueger Beat Prisoner Thomas Malone, Kicked Him and Set His Dog On Him. oe Joseph Marcus, a Work-house prisoner, released Monday, tells a story’of brutality culminating in actual murder on the part of Guard Gustav Krueger that calls for gearching official] investigation. The Work-house officials are doing all they can to avoid investigation and are trying to minimige the charges they will have to face by asserting that there is a conspiracy amiong the prisoners to do them up Marcus is a spectacle peddler. He is an intelligent man-and not a police character. He went to the Work-house through in- ability to pay a fine for disturbing the peace. He-says he will. tell the following story under oath: . “I got to the Work-housée Tuesday after- noon, Oct. 15, with a number of others. We were placed in one cell. Two men were al- ready in the cell, one a cdlored man, who was evidently insane, and a white man, the one who was murdered. “The latter had come down Monday after- noon. I afterward learned that he had been drinking heavily when arrested. Before the quarry gang were brought back from work Assistant Superintendent Jones came to the cell and told me to bring the white man out to the doctor. The man was crouched down in a corner and evidently very sick. He could not walk and I helped him out of the cell. The @octor prescribed whisky and bromide for him. This was given him, and in about half am hour he seemed to get better and sat upon the bench in the corner. “After the men came in from work, we Were all taken out into the yard and lined up to go into the dining-room. The sick man still couldn’t walk alone and I was leading him. A guard they called ‘Gus,’ whose other name I! didn’t know, came up and ordered me to ‘let that man go.’ I let go, and the man fell down. ““*Gus’ had a rawhide in his hand thick and hard enough to be used as.a walking stick. There was. a steel ferrule on the end. He set wpon the man as he lay on the ground ahd beat him on the back, -neck, face, head ard hands, and on the-soles of his } feet. The fellow's big black dog had fol- lowed him and he set the dog on hi “About this time we were all-taken into the dining room and I didn’t sée what fol- lowed. Next day, though, the man did not show up and I was told that he had been taken to the City Hospital Afterward I heard that he had died there. I never learned his name.”’ At the City Hospital a Post-Dispatch re- porter ascertained that the only prisoner received there from the Workhouse during last week was Thomas Malone. Investigation developed that Malone was the man referred to by Marcus. He was brought in at 9:05 o’clock Wednes- day morning, unconscious. No history of his case was furnished by the Work-house officials, the only information accompany- ing the man being the statement of his name. He was sent to Division 7, in charge of Dr. Pfeffer. He never regained conscious- ness, dying early Wednesday evening. Dr. Pfeffer found marks apon the man as from a fall, or of violence. He stated Wednesday to a Post-Dispatch reporter that thera was a severe abrasion on the bridge of the nose, and abrasions on the left hand. He diagnosed the case as hem- orrhage of the bran, and the autopsy proved him to have been correct. “The man was evidently an alcoholic,” gaid Dr. Pfeffer Wednesday. ‘“‘And in his condition any blow upon the face or head would have produced hemorrhage of the brain. The lesion, however, might have re- sulted merely from the fact that he was an alcoholic and that his brain was dis- ed. “After the man was brought to me, I telephoned to the Work-house to secure geome information on which I could judge what treatment to administer. I could re- ceive no information whatever, the man at the other end of the wire giving as the reason the absence of the Work-house phy- sician.’’ ; The autopsy was performed and the in- quest held on last Friday, The former was perfor by Dr. Louis J. Wolfert of the City Hospital. It showed that there was a large blood clot on the left side of the brain, and that the brain tissues were in a state of decomposition. At the inquest Henry Eberhard, clerk at the Work-house, testified that the deceased was sent to that institution Oct. 14, 195. His appearance indicated that he had been on a spree. As his condition was such as to render him unfit for work, he was sent to the City Hospital Oct. 16. The w'tness stated that Dr. Brewer, the Work-house physician, examined Malone on his arriva] there, but was unable to say what was the matter with him. Sergeant of Police J. L. Forgery of the Second District testified that the deceased was arrested . 13 at Florissant avenue and Ferry street, where he was found drunk and acti in an unbecoming manner. He told the witness he came to St. Louis from Wheeling, W. Va. No other witnesses were examined and accordingly a verdict that death was due to cerebral hemorrhage due to apoplexy was returned. 4 A Post-Dispatch re rter_ called at the Work-house Wedne ' “y ay morning. Supt. Nicholas Karr was ill and declined to see the reporter. When Clerk Eberhard, in the office, was asked to direct the reporter to the guard “Gus” he demanded to know what was wanted, and at first refused to comply with the request. “I have made my statement to the Cor- oner, said Eberhard, “and he has com- pleted his investigation.” e Assistant Superintendent Jones, who was age a police sergeant, was in the of- ore and told the reporter that Guard Gus . rueget ws probably the one referred to by “But there ig nothing in it.” said Mr Sonen, and there’s no use oF ome seeing user. This man Malone was sick when re came here and was not put to work at “ SO that Krueger never saw him.’ a somes talked in the same strain for ten - utes, but finally directed the reporter to e,guerry, where Krueger wag stationed. * 8 whole thing is a conspiracy to do . € up, said Krueger, when the subject was roached. “These ‘Kerry Patch’ hoodlums have got it in for me because make them work, afid a prisoner told me the other day that they were going to do meu man Malone. rit tefl ou abo 10, TTL te ue t s victim. | - Lf PRR GA him alone until he sobered up. We conclud- ,ed he was Malone. Next evening when the prisoners were going to supper I passed through the line, and one of them stumbled and fell. I jabbed the fellow with my stick and asked him, “What's the matter with you?’ I didnt’ know who the fellow was, but afterward learned he was this same man Malone, I never beat him at all, and didn’t set my dog on him because my dog never comes up here. “As I said, there is a conspiracy here to do me up. One of the prisoners sent a letter out of here the other day about the matter.”’ “To whom was‘ the letter sent?’’ “IT don’t know. I haven’t found out yet, because we haven't finished investigating the conspiracy. These fellows don’t want te work and are playing off sick all the time. I didn’t know this man Malone was sick as he was, and nobody else did until next day, when hegwas sent to the City Hospital.” On Friday Joseph Warren was released from the Work-house and brought word to ' Marcus’ friends to pay hig fine. He. too, told the story of Malone’s murder. On Monday he got drunk and was given hours to leave town, j : ' DBSPERADOBS LYNCHED, a a Two of the Zip Wyatt Gang Hanged Cattiemen. ! KANSAS CITY, Mo.; Oct. 23.—A special.to the Star fram Hernessy, 0. T., says: Two more members of the Zip Wyatt band of desperadoes have answered for their many deeds of lawlessness. They are Jim Umbra and Mexican John, two Mexicans who have been engaged in cattle stealing and various lawless enterprises. They were tynched by enraged cattlemen, who have suffered great- ly at their hands. The two men had stolen fifty head belonging to Ben Chapman and his cowboys gave chase. They clesed in on the desperadoes fifteen miles from Canton- ment, and, after a fusilade of bullets, the bandits surrendered. The cowboys identified the cattle, and, taking a@ rope, pulled the two men up to the first tree. A was attached to their clothing warning. other members of the band to” quit this work or suffer the same penalty. Mexican John was formerly well-known in this city. He worked for three months as a barber here. Umbra has always borne a hard reputation and was an intimate friend of Zyp Wyatt before his death. THEY WERE REAL FUNNY, Bay Shore Husbands Wear Shirt-Waists and Puffed Sleeves. Special to The Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Oct. 23.—One of the most mirth-provoking sights ever seen in a Long Island church could have been witnessed for a small fee in the Congregational edifice at Bay Shore last evening. The h ds of a dozen of the most pro t WwW n in the town attired themselves in a more or less iladylike manner and prepared an oyster ‘supper for .their wives..and others. Rev. Chas. EK. Granger’s church realized a handsome sum as the result, The men wofe silk shirtwaists and the sleeves were enorm- ous. The skirts worn were disgraceful short. On the whole, the men conduct themselves in an admirable manner, even though at times their conduet was ariy- thing but ladylike. After the ladies’ had dis- posed of the oysters and assured themselves that their husbands washed the dishes prop- erly they escorted the men home and put them to bed. The rumor that the ladies after- wards congregated at the residence of one of their number and had a poker party is denounced as a spiteful slander. RAN A POLICY SHOP.

THE COURT HAS SETTLED I. —, — Corbett and Fitzsimmons Cannot Fight in Arkansas. SUPREME COURT DECISION. Ifthe Pugilists Continue Their Prepa- rations the Militia Will Be Called Out. Special to The Post-Dispatch. LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Oct. 23.—The Su- preme Court convened at 11 o’clock this morning and Chief Justice Bunn delivered the opinion of the court in the case of the State vs. James J. Corbett. It was an oral opinion in which all the associate justices concurred and was very brief. The court held that it was not netessary to pass upon the question of issuing a restraining order to prevent the meeting of Corbett and Fitz- simmons at Hot Springs. The principal question involved is the legality of the act of 1891, which was held to be valid in all its parts. This act, together with the amenda- tory act of 1893, makes prize-fighting a mis- demeanor to which is attached a fine of not less than $1,000 or more than $2,550, and ap- plies to glove contests as well as prize fights to a finish. The court held that the duties of the justices of the peace were well de- fined, and that the arrest of Corbett was in accordance with the laws; that any per- son who contemplated. a violation of the statutes was liable to arres$.on a warrant sworn out by any person. The magistrate has jurisdiction in this case, the court held, and when appealed to the chancellor at Hot Spring should have remanded the case to a justice of the peace. He clearly exceeded his authority and his decision was over- ruled and set aside. Immediately after the decision your cor- respondent called on Gov. Clarke, and asked him his opinion of the decision. ‘I don’t know that I have anything to say on the subject, except to reiterate the state- ment previously made by me, that there will be no fight at Hot Springs.”’ Col. W. H. Martin, attorney for,Corbett, was in the Governor’s office at the time and Gov. Clarke, turning to him, said: “‘Now, Martin, what are you going to do about it?’ | law of the State, nor has there ever been since Hot Springs wae selected as the place of meeting between Corbett and Fitzsim- mons.”’ “I believe that,” said the Governor, “‘and when you go home you had better tell the people over there to give up the idea of having any fight.’’ The programme now is to rearrest Corbett and take him before a Justice of the Peace and require him to give a peace bond. In case the pugilists should continue their any proceedings had against them in the Justice’s court, the Governor will take a hand in the affair by Calling out the militia. The decision of the Supreme Court has caused the Governor to abandon all inten- tion of calling the Legislature in extra session. a Dalton Talked Through His Hat. HOT SPRINGS, Ark., Oct. 23.—There are some warm people in Hot Springs this mofning. It appears that the man Dalton, who made the offer of a $10,000 purse on be- half of the Hot Sotinas.

GARLSLE STOPS SILVER COINAG Only Subsidiary Coin Will Be Minted After Nov. 1. NO MORE SILVER DOLLARS. The Most Radical Step Yet Taken by the Treasury in the Interest of the Gold Standard. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 23.—The most important step taken by the Treasury De- partment since Secretary Carlisle has con- trolled it was taken to-day, when the Sec- retary ordered the suspension of all silver coinage extépt subsidiary coin after Nov. 1. The practical effect of this order is to con- vert all the silver bullion held by the Gov- ernment into gdld obligations under the parity clause of the Sherman act. Secre- tary Windom in 1889 construed the law to mean that all Sherman notes issued against the bullion were redeemable in gold. This construction of the law was concurred in by his successors, Secretaries Foster and Carlisle, and has been in practical opera- tion during the past six yéars. Under it $76,193,522 have been redeemed. certificates, however, {lver dollars only in silver. Thus from the same base the silver bullion, the Sherman notes, be- come gold obligations, and the'silver into standard silver dollars and the silver certificates issued tipon themy become silver obligations. The suspension of the coinage of stand- ard silver dollars, therefore, leaves the bul- lion silver free from any r labilit PERSISTENT SUICIDE. — Twice He Jumped in Front of s Street ~ Gar en Account of Cramps. . ee . “ pins” : on the pain is so great that Hirzgberg wants to end his life: uesday night, while walk- ing along Wash between Tenth and Elev- enth streets, he was seized with a cramp.

o Mig - ey: EN A ce ce Benefit of Ph ow, the Enterprise. _. AND THE PEOPLE PAY FOR IT. a The Primary Reason for the Fight on Miss Warr at the City Hospital. Run‘tor The threatened strike of nurses at the City Hospital, owing to the extension of \ the authority of Miss M. E. Warr, Super- \intendent of Nurses, renders a review of the system in vogue there apropos. To some it appears to be directly in the | interests of the St. Louis Training School for Nurses at the expense of the tax-payers. The Superintenendent of Nurses is also the Superintendent of the Traiping School and is paid for her services in both. capacities. Most of the nurses are Training School students and while they are getting their experience at the City Hospital the Train- ing School is getting one-half or more of their wages. | The singular state of affairsds authorized by ordinance. Several years o an ordis nance was adopted which provided that ‘‘all nurses employed by the city may, to the extent that the institution will supply the same, be selected fromysthe pupils of the St. Louis os Sch for Nurses. They shall be paid in moavthly installments the amount now specified by ordinance for cor- responding positions. A. residence in the city for two years shall.not be necessary to entitle one to appointment.” Another section provides that “one selected from said institution shall be called Superintend- ent of Nurses and shall be paid $40 per month.”’ The words “may be selected” are used, but the language of the ordinance implies that the selection is only Hmited to the ability of the school tq provide them. No one is eligible for the position of Su- ape tg of Nurses who does not be- ong to the school. The Training School was organized and ‘ financially aided by a number of philan- thropic ladies and gentlemen, and consid- erable influence was brought to bear to secure the passage of the ordinance. A casual reading of the ordinance would lead to the belief that the school furnished experienced trained nurses, and that .was what was understoed by most people when the ordinance was passed. This is not the fact, however. Raw re- cruits just entering the school as students are appointed nurses at the hospita] and paid $20 a month by the city from the start. The city pays them while they are getsing the experience, but the school gets at least half the money. The pupils are taken for sixty days on probation. During that-time the training school gets all their wages. After the probationary period, if retained, the pupils are allowed to retain $10 a month of whatever they earn during the two years graduation course, the training school get- ting the balance. ~ TRis system, it is claimed, works injustice in several ways. It is also said that prefer- ence is given to non-resident over home girls, hundreds of whom would gladly work for nothing to get the experience of a trained nurse, to say nothing of being paid while learning. The other training schools, of which there are several in the city, re- gard it as an injustice to them that one institution should get special privileges. It is also urged as an injustice to the other nurses for this reason: Under the agreement with the school the pupils re- tain only $10 a month of their wages. It is therefore palpably to the advantage of the school that the pupils be promoted. Promo- tions are made by the Health Commission- er, approved by the Board of Health, on the r commendation of the superintendent of the hospital, who in turn acts on the recom- mendation of the superintendent of nurses. In consequence training school nurses who have not graduated are promotedover the heads of experienced nurses to positions paying $25 and $30 a month, of ich the nurse only gets $10. There are graduates of the University of Michigan who have had the additional advantage of years of experi- ence who are paid less than some of the training school nurses who have not yet graduated. The prospectus of the Training School sets fcrth that the instruction given is consideréd a full equivalent for their serv- ices, but, except that the pupils attend lect- ures on stated evenings at the school, the instruction is given and the experience gained at the City Hospital, under the super- vision of a superintendent of nurses, paid by the city and also by the school. While the St. Louis Training Schoo! is thus favored, St. Luke’s Hospital pays its nurses nothing while they are being trained, and beginners are glad of the chance to serve in the lying-in ward of the Female Hospital without wages for the experience. The assistant: physicians at the City Hos- pital also gladly serve without salary for the same reason. In addition to salary the nurses receive board and washing at the hospital, and could lodge there, but the school prefers to lodge them. Under the city ordinance the Superin- tendent of Nurses should have charge of all the nurses, but there was so much fric- tion that when Heine Marks was Super- intendent he would not allow her in the surgical ward at all, and her control was limited to the nurses of her own school. The restoring to her of the real authority contemplated by the ordinance has brought out afresh all the latent antipathy to her of the nurses not of the Training School. The fifteen or twenty nurses at the City Hospital are in a state of apprehensive un- certainty. Since Miss Warr was given full power as head nurse they have been in momentary anticipation of losing their po- sitions. Miss Warr says that only a few of them will go. Those she does let out will be re- placed by nurses from the Training School. “My position in this matter has never been explained,’’ said Miss Warr. ‘Ten years ago, when the Training School for Nurses was established in this city, it was an imposstbility to get good nurses. When the school was fairly under way other schools were organiz and a large number of nurses was the result. Prior to that time it was almost an impossibility to get a well-educated and cultured woman to go into the City Hospital as a nurse, because it was considered lowering. Now things have changed. Many of the nurses here are among the best young women of the city. Our training school does now as it did then. It took recruits with the under- standing that for the first year’s work the school was to get $10 of the nurse’s salary when she had secured a position, and on the second year and those following $8. If the nurse happens to get out of work she can come to the training school and live until she finds employment. Now, this is what our nurses’ training sch6dol is. Nurses from other schools are complaining against us because they say we have a monopoly on the city institutions. This is foolishness, for there is a big demand for trained nurses all over the country, and these nurses if they are efficient can get a position at any time. Any efficient nurse may hold a position at the City Hospital. In years gone by, when nurses were scarte, an ordinance was passed authorizing the hospital to get its nurses from our school, and this ordinance still exists, but is not carried out to the letter.” Miss Gardiner, one of the nurses at the hospital, stated Monday that she desired it understood that when she called upon Dr. Starkloff it was in her own behalf and that she did not go as a representative of the others. She also wishes it understood that she called no meeting upon her return and De no report upon her conference with ond! oe .

These six men hr ye to do about two-thirds of the work that will devolve on the precinct clerks, and they can cover in a day only about half the territory that the election clerks must go over in the same time. “This is why the Board is so anxious to keep the precincts well within the 300 voters mark. If we divid the wards into pre- cincts squarely on the vote of 1892, or on the vote of 1894, we would find, when the regis- tration began, that some of the precincts had fewer than 100 voters and others 1,000, several hundred of whom would not get meaiotere’: 8 all. = aitsie hottes ne of 1894 and of 189% are very e better and show us little when com area vite api show spective votes or when the four sets of figures are compared with each other. ex- cept that such great fluctuations of the voting population take place from year to year in some of the wards that we cannot use these figures as exact data.

He had no stocks and bonds nor houses nor car- riages, but was possesed of a vast wealth of affection which he would shower on her alone. And Miss Daisy agreed that was as much as any reasonable young woman.) could expect these hard times. .

It Is Now Thought ‘the Y. M. ©. A Building Will Be Finished. The outlook now for the completion this season of the handsome Y. M. C. A. build- ing, corner of Grand and Franklin avenues, is decidedly promising, and the gentlemen at the head of the enterprise are feeling more hopeful than at any time since the work has been stopped. Since the article showing the urgent need of money and the benefits to be derived from its expenditure was published in last Saturday’s Post-Dispatch, the committee endeavoring to raise the $650,000 required to complete the building has received several handsome subscriptions and others are promised at an early date. Only yesterday a well-known gentleman gave a check for $250, saying it was prompted by the article he had read in the Post-Dispatch. Mr. T. S. McPheeters, president of the local Y. M. C. A., and chairman of the Building Committee, is quite confident of securing sufficient subscriptions to warrant the letting of the contract for heating ap- paratus at the meeting of the Board of Di- rectors next week. This will require about $6,500. If this is done the store rooms can be finished at once and rented and a source of revenue thus created. Mr. McPheeters told a Post-Dispatch reporter that the interest in the completion of the institution was not confined to the wealthy, but the very class of artisans and working people whom it is planned to reach are greatly interested in the plan. Only yesterday a German car- nter met Mr. McPheeters and expressed is great regret at the Be pete h | of the work not being completed this winter. The carpenter has two sons whom he is anxious to have enter the institution and take ad- vantage of the educational facilities. Thus it is seen that all classes are interested. Mr. McPheeters says his plans for the educational department are not experi- mental. They have been successfully tried, and he cites the experience of the move- ment in Dayton, Ohio, as an example. The population of Dayton embraces many per- sons employed in the various manufac- tories, and it was to better the condition of these that the effort was put forth. A fore- man of one of the large factories was in- vited to a meeting and was asked what the working og. people needed to better their condition. e said what they most needed was a more intelligent comprehen- sion of their duty and information as to how to do it. With this in view an invitation was extended and 300 young men joined the institution. At first it was a difficuit matter to arrange so that factory working- men and bank clerks and young. men of commercial pursuits would feel é¢asy to- gether. But after three months’ work it was difficult to distinguish the one from the other by dress or by conversation. Thus the fictitious barrier that exists be- tween those who.work with their hands and those who work with a pen was removed, and both classes feel the better for it. The sanfe work has algo been done in Spring- field, Mass., Brooklyn, Cleveland and Chi- Pcago, and with a little assistance given now the work can be pushed to a successful issue in St. Louis. MUNICIPAL ASSEMBLY. Waterworks and City Hall Construc- tion Receive Attention. Tuesday’s session of the Municipal As- sembly was uneventful. The special committee appointed by the Council to examine into the causes of the break in the waterworks at the Chain of Rocks reported as to the existing conditions and recommended that a competent engineer be employed to devise plans to prevent breaks in the future. The bill to improve Union avenue was recommitted. The orii- nances authorizing the Merchants’ Brid Terminal Co. to construct a track on Main street and an extension by the Southern Electric Railway Co. were laid over. A bill giving the ealth Department $13,500 additional was introduced, together with a number of smaller measures. In the House of Delegates the Council res- olution, providing for a committee to inves- tigate the new City Hall, was taken up and amended in accordance with the recom- mendations of President McMath. The Board of Public Improvements introduced bills for extending the sewer system in the southern part of the city. A number of relief bills were reported by the Committee on Engrossed and Enrolled Bills, most of which were vassed. The Council adjourned until next Frida afternoon at 5 o'clock. The House will meet Friday evening at 7 o’clock. Police Board Meeting. The Police Board at its Tuesday meeting promoted Patrolman Martin Kjng to the rank of Sergeant. He has been on the force since 1885 and while stationed at Broadway and Pine street saved a woman’s life at the risk of his own. rege H. Chappell, Sixth District, was reinstated as a patrolman and John N. Chapman was dropped, his term having ex- pired. This action was a correction of the minutes of the last meeting, Chappell’s name being in-the list of dismissals, when Chapman was meant. The assignment of the newly-appointed Sergeants was confirmed. Anecdote Contest.

If, as the cable reports aver, Premier Salisbury has snubbed Ambassador Bay- ard, it is not because he is not afraid to insult the United States, but because he has taken the measure of their represent- ative and is confident that the man will submit to a snubbing from the aristo- cratic chief of the British Government. It must be admitted that Ambassador Bayard’s conduct has given Lord Salis- bury ground upon which to base this contemptuous judgment of him. Ambassador Bayard appears to have interpreted his embassy to England as a mission from American society to Brit- ish society to express the profound ad- miration of Americans for British institu- tions, their great respect for the British aristocracy and their debt of gratitude to the British people for having permitted them to have ancestors in common. He has posed as “‘the great and good friend’’ of England and his popularity with the british public shows how successfully he has accomphshed his self-imposed task. It cannot be denied that Mr. Bayard has truckled tg Great Britain in recent negotiations, Frequent intimations have come from official circles in Washington that the chief obstacle in the way of an assertion of American rights in Downing street is the subservient attitude of Am- bassador Bayard towards the English and his influence with the President. The American people understand per- fectly well that diplomacy is not dis- courtesy. brow-beating or truculence. They do not require that kind of conduct in their diplomats, but they do waht dig- nified independence and insistence upén American rights. if Ambassador. Bayard would make fewer after-dinner gpeevhes dwelling upon the ties of blood and affection which bind England and America and would devote more time and speech to conyinc- ing the British foreign office that there are Certain pointe of foreign policy upon which Americans are insistent, he would reflect more credit on himself and render sreater Service to hig country. The pop- ularity he might lose in England he would regain in America, In whose esteem the true honor of an American Ambasga- dor lies. sn _—- .-—- TH FLIW2R OF MUSWUMPIBM, The New York Evening Post is stirred abbas profound disgust by the resolutions o* Sympathy with Cuba which Americans whom it considers well-meaning but vul- Kar have adopted. It remarks that their talk “sounds like the merry chatter of school children, of whom our agitators so often remind us and the rest of the world. In fact, our foreign politics often seems the concern chiefly of the kinder- gartens of our country and to be ruled by that love of abstract justice which burns In nearly all, 10-year-old breéasts.”’ The Evening Post and its small but select circle of readers are above all that folly. They consider iberty a g60a name for demagogues to conjure votes with, patriotism a dazzling toy to tickle the masses and justice an excellent theme for school essays, but of no value in prac- tical life. These are illusions which do not affect persons of culture and experi. ence who are altogether superior to the vulgar emotions of compassion, sympa- thy and love of gountry and liberty. The philosophy of life devised by the well-bred coterie of the Evening Post does not admit of such crude emotions and sentiments, In their philosophy the ' “The Rising Genera- | it would have felt over the wild utter- ances concerning justice and liberty of such blatherskites as Jefferson, Franklin, Adams and Henr¥y. = sw} —_————_ > 0 RY ink COMMERCIAL TRAVELERS AS CONSULS. In an article published by the New York Sun, Mr. G. Wilfred Pearce of Boston travelers to the consular service of the United States. . ~ Mr. Pearce’s idea is that under the im- proved system.pby which the consulg are required to send annual reports contain- ing all available mformation of Value to home manufacturers and merchants with a view to promoting commerce the -commercial travelers would be most use- ful in consular places. He cites two in- stances of commercial travelers, one in Japan and the other in South Africa, who not only sold enormous quantities of American goods, but obtained prac- tical information of the commercial ¢on- dition and needs of those countries which proved of great value to American man- ufacturers. The principle of selection underlying Mr. Pearce’s suggestion is excellent. The consuls should be active, able and prac- tical business men, They’ should not be broken-down politicians and profes- sional men as they too often are now. Among business men no class is better titted by training to fill these places to best advantage than the commercial travelers who make a life study of the needs of thé people and the best methods of introducing and selling goods and quickening trade. —--- THE BARRACKS AND THE CITY. It is gratifying to note that Col. Henry, the new commander of Jefferson Bar- racks, has progressive ideas with regard to his post. His plan of enlarging the post and bringing it into closer communication with St. Louis is excellent and should re- ceive the cordial support of the people of the city. Jefferson Barracks has heretofore been @ mere recruiting station and of little value to the city. Perhaps no other mil- itary station in the country has contrib- uted less to either the gaiety or the profit of its neighboring city than the Barracks, In most cases the posts serve as at- tractive features not only in a social way, but in a general way as pleasant resorts where the people can get a glimpse of army life and view military parades and drills. The Barracks should be a full regi- mental post and a supply depot. But even if it is not enlarged or improved, it should be brought into closer com- munication with the city by rapid tran- sit. The city can well afford to grant what slight concessions are necessary to secure the extension of one or more street car lines to the reservation. e- — eer THE NEW STRILET NAMES. In the estimate of cost of the new street names is included a lot of cedar posts on which to najl the signs. Why are these posts needed, and why cannot the signs be placed on the corners of the houses, at a convenient height for read- ing them? Now that there is an electric light at every street intersection, if the signs are properly painted they could be seen as well at night as in the day if placed on the house corners. They would also be secure from the depredations of van- dals. There are already enough posts and poles on the streets, in all kinds of posi- tions and states of dilapidation. Several thousand cedar posts with street names on them will only add to the rude, village- like appearance of most of our streets. There is no need for this’ wilderness of poles and posts, and to set them up is to confess ourselves destitute of taste or ordinary expediente, In most large cities the street names are on the corners of the houses. A house is likely to stand much longer than a cedar post. It has two corners on which to place the signs, If they are merely tacked to posts, they wing? anegd become as unsightly and useless the old street signs on the telegraph poles. Much ado is made over the fact that Cassius M. Clay, Jr., has ‘scratched Hardin” in Kentucky. Clay wanted the nomination for Governor himself and has for years been a chronié candidate for the office, which he is now quite certain never to get. Mr. Clay’s head is sore— that is all. ‘‘Most assuredly the production of gold stimulates business in this country,” says Mint Director Preston.

From the St. Joseph Gazette. That it is the duty of the Chairman of the State Central Committee to proceed in con- formity with the opinions and desires of the majority of the party, and not accord- ing to his own sweet will, is undeniable. Fortunately, the\Pertle Springs Convention so clearly iaid down the law on the sub- ject that the opinions of the Chairman can have no more weight than those of any other member of the committee in deter- mining when and for what purposes com- mittee meetings shall be held. In order to have a meeting of the committee it is only necessary for half a dozen members to make the request in writing, and the Chairman has no power to prevent compliance with Ht. As far as directing the affairs of the party is concerned hefis merely a member of the committee with one vote and no more. The election of one of the members to the chairmanship of the committee is not in- tended to vest him with power to do the thinking for the other members or for the party. The Pertle Springs convention was called in the face of Chairman Maffitt’s stubborn opposition, and he probably re- gards the action taken by that convent‘on as impolitic and wrong, but this is merely the opinion of an individual upon a sub- _—z_ ject about which there is room for differ- | ence. Probably Mr. Maffitt ts opposed to an early meeting of the State Central Commit- tee, but if his colleagues take issue with him. there will be an early meeting all thé same. A Mistake of Sherman. Chicago Times-Herald Letter. I shall never forget the picture presented by Conkling and Arthur as together they walked away from the hall in heated dis- cussion. Subsequently, much to the annoy- ance and expresed displeasure of Conkling, Arthur accepted the nomination of Vice- President. In an interview had with him at the time he said: ‘‘I told the Senator it was the opportunity of a life, and in justice to my friends and myself I could not decline it. How under heavens, then, Senator Sher- man can asert in calm recital of a pub- lished book that this nomination was ‘a whim of Conkling’s for the purpose of an- noying Hayes,’ is utterly beyond compre- hension, and is most inharmonious with the easily proved facts.”’ To Be More General.

The much-talked-about public wool ware- house in St. Louis begins to look like_a cen- tainty. A movement is afoot to turn the present Armory building into one, providing the militia disbands the first of the year, as now seems imminent. Banker Louis C. Nelson, who owns the Armory, has just returned from New York and when seen by a Post-Dispatch reporter as to what disposition he would make of the building, said: “I hope some arrange- ment can be made whereby it will not be necessary for the soldier bo to give up their present home. What will do with the Armory building I have not yet deter- mined. The site is too far from the busi- ness center to make an office building, and the only thing it could be used for would be a manufacturing plant or a warehouse. For either, the present building would be admirably adapted. “Several gentlemen have been to see me with a view of securing it for a public wool warehouse. That is as geieewe, | which has been long talked of, and something that 8t. Louis needs badly: If the scheme were carried through it would be a material ad- vantage to St. Louis business interests. New York, Boston and nearly all the East- ern cities have wool warehouses. “If this warehouse idea is carried out the bankers will then be in a position to ad- vance money on wool as they do on wheat in elevators. As it is now, the wool is s0 scattered it is impossible to make loans. ‘‘Whether they take my building or not, I want to see a public wool warehouse be- come a part of St. Louis business enter- prise.”’ TICKET SCALPING. Agricultural Implement Makers Want to Check the Business. CHICAGO, IIL, Ott. 23.—Ticket brokers along Clark street laugh at the talk of the makers of agricultural implements about getting Congress to forbid ticket scalping. The icultural implement makers are now holding their annual convention in this city. A standing committee on transporta- tion reported yesterday at the Auditorium to the National Association of Agricultural Implement and Vehicle Magufacturers to petition the railroads of the country to is- sue five hundred mile tickets good on any road and to introduce into Congress a bill making it a crime for any ome not the agent of a railroad to sell tickets. The senti- ment was embodied in a resolution and the execution of it will be delegated to the new committee on transportation, to be chosen to-day. The ticket brokers scout the feasibility of the implement makers clos- ing up their business and inaugurating a system of universal passes. Better Than Christmas Gifts.

It is being openly charged on the streets that a big job of whitewashing is to be done in the office of the United States District Attorney in the case'of the St. Louis bridge combine. From the manner in which District Attorney Clopton and his assistants have taken hold of the case it -geems hardly probable that indictments will be returned against the men who formed the pool to throttle the commerce -of 8t. Louis. : On the eve of the calling Clopton suddenly leaves the city. He has gone to Jefferson City, ostensibly on busi- ness, but really it is said, to shirk responsi- bility in the matter. At his office*Walter Coles, one of the assistant District Attor- neys said Mr. Clopton had a case in court at the State Capital. It is‘argued that Mr. Clopton has not .been in the habit of presenting cases to the Grand-jury and that this work has always been done by his assistants. For this rea- pee it is claimed that his presence is not in this case. This line of argu- of the case Mr. statement made by Mr. Clopton to a Post-Dispatch reporter yesterday, in which he said that in a case of such great importance as the bridge pool investigation he would not have acted except under instructiong from the Attorney eral of the United States. There is a big drop from the United States Attorney General to one of Mr. Clopton’s assistants. “se The case was to come at 10 o’clock this morning, but for some unknown reason was postponed until 2 o’clock this afternoon. Among the witnesses subpoenaed, in addi- tion to the list given yesterday, are John J. Baulch, general freight agent of the Wiggins Ferry Co.; Henry W. Gays, general freight agent of the Bluff Line, who was formerly general freight agent of one of the companies in the combine; Wm. C. Merry, trafic manager for the Anheuser-Busch Brewing Co., and Mr. Muehlberg, an em- ploye of the Anheuser-Busch company, who makes out the rebate bills against the pg combine and the railroads and attends, to the collection of the money. Any one of these witnesses is.in posseg- sion of evidence enough to secure the in- dictment of the manipulators of the pool, but whether the Grand-jury will bring out that evidende is another matter. For in- stance, Mr. Baulch is said to know all about the rebates granted Anheuser-Busch by the Wiggins Ferry Company and W. 8S. Hodges, another witness, knows-he knows it. Yet Mr. Baulch may decline to divluge any- thing. It is understood that he has heen instructed by the attorney of the Wiggins Ferry Company to refuse to answer any leading question. The Supreme Court has been asked to construe a section of the Interstate Commerce law governing what questions witnesses shall answer. This fact will undoubtedly be taken ad- vantage of by corporation counsel to pre- vent witnesses from answering questions that might incriminate their employers. It is hinted that by reason of this loop hole the district attorney brought the matter be- fore the Grand-jury at this time, under the belief that it would ‘bbe impossible to secure indictments against the guilty parties. A well posted railroad man told a Post-Dis- atch reporter this morning that if either Mr. Muehlberg or Mr. Merry could be forced to testify they could give evidence enough to indict every man in the bridge combine. Baulah is an employe of the Wiggins Ferry Co. and Gays is an employe of a railroad corporation, and if they were to divulge any information whatever it would cost them their jobs. The same ig true of F. X. Roederer and J. L. Penny, General Freight and Commercial Agent, respective- ly, of the two bridges. The complexion of the Grand-jury itself is not favorable to the indictment of the men in the combine. There are several mem- bers of it whose sympathies are naturally on the side of the corporations, and at least one who may know a whole lot about the way the Interstate Commerce law is con- inually violated by the payment of re- ates. He may also know a good deal about he discriminations made in rates by the mbine that is to be investigated. It would ‘quire very strong evidence to convince ‘rtain of them that any law has been vio- lated, and unless it is of such a damaging natewe that it can not be ignored it is not reasonable, all things considered, to ex- pect any indictments. Here is the list: Ellis Wainwright, Robert Carnahan. Will- iam F. Nolker, Archer W. Douglas, William C. Dyer, H. F. Hubbard, C. H. Sampson, C. E. Musick, T. J. Herbel, Justin F. ‘Weston, George W. Crain, John Biggs, W. J. Kin- sella, James C. Paulus, 8. 8. Tucker, W. C. Jones, J. A. Hickman, C. W. Ladd, F. D. Hirschberg. The reason the bridge combine is making such strenuous efforts to keep indictments from being returned is not only to prevent the forfeiture of the Merchants’ bridge, but because of the penalty clause, séction 10, of the Interstate Commerce law. which reads .as follows: “That any common carrier subject to the provgsions of this act, or, whenever such common carrier is a corporation, any di- rector or officer thereof, or any receiver trustee, lessee, agent, or person acting for or employed by such corporation, who alone or with any other corporation, com- pany, person or party shall wilfully do or cause to be done, or shall wilfully suffer or permit to be done, any act, matter, or thing in this act prohibited or declared to be unlawful, or who shall aid or abet therein, or shall wilfully omit or fail to do any act, matter or thing in thig act re- quired to be done, or shall aid or abet any Buch omission or failure or shall be guilty of any infraction of this act, or shall aid or abet therein, shall be deemed guilty ofa misdemeanor, and shall, upon conviction thereof in any District Court of the United States, within the jurisdiction of which the offense was committed. be Subject to a fine not to exceed $5,000 for each offense Provided: That if the offense for. which any person shall be convicted as aforesaid shall be an unlawful discrimination in rates fares or charges for the transportation of such person shall, ein before provided A prominent taken an inter onviction, even ill be returned ho formed the “Who is to prosecute the ” asked, “That duty devolves upon W pe Clopton, the United States District Attor. neyr Mr. Clopton secured his appointment to office through the influence of R Francis and C. C. Maffitt. Mr. Francis is a stockholder in the Merchants’ bridge, and the late John D. Perry, Mr. Francis’ father- in-law, was on the company’s bond, insur- ing the city against loss tn certain cases. If you will go back over your files you will firid that early last summer Mr. C Op- ton was interviewed by a Post-Dispatch re- edge and he threw cold water on the ef- ort then being made to bring the bridge people within the law. He said, however, that {f he was instructed by the Attorney- General of the United States to do so he would take the matter up. At that time Mr. Olney was United States Attorney-General, and I presume Mr. Clopton felt perfectly safe in saying he would act if ordered to. Everybody knew Mr. Olney’s attitude to- wards trusts and combinations, and none better than Mr. Clopton. But he reckoned without his host. Mr. Olney’s promotion in the Cabinet ewas followed by the appoint- ment of Judson P. Harmon.

Prosser hid behind a tree and saw Palmer start to run. He placed him under arrest and started to take him jo O’Fallon Park Station. He resisted and Prosger called upon Smith to assist him. While they were going east on Clinton street George Blumeyer grabbed Prosser by the shoulder and said: ‘You can’t take that boy; ifyou do I'll break your face you — — -——.’ Prosser pushed him back and Palmer's father came up and demanded that his son be turned loose. As the officers were trying to place Palmer on a Broadway car his father assaulted Prosser with a club. The officer drew: his revolver and Palmer struck his arm, causing the weapon to be dis- charged, and Palmer was wounded in the hack of the left hand. Prosser states the reason he didn’t want to bring the prisoner to this station was because Palmer said he had a pull in the Fourth District.” Chief Harrigan began investigating the affair this morning and the statements made by several witnesses place Prosser and Smith in such a light that the Grand- jury may take hold of the matter and. as- certain what right Prosser and Smith have to intimidate boys who are the chief wit- nesses against Smith in a criminal case now pending against him and which will be tried in November. ‘ Lee Smith is the officer who was suspended by. Chief Harrigan last May, when charges of a. character that cannot be published were filed with the Police Board against. him. Later he was indicted and his trial was to have begun last Monday, but was continued until next month. Smith was a patrolman in the Fourth District and a number of boys residing on Tenth, Madison, Clinton, Monroe and Mar- ket streets were witnesses against him. Among them was Tourville Palmer, and during the past two months Smith is said to have been spying around in that neighbor- hood in the alleged search for evidence in his own behalf. He sent for young Palmer to meet him once at Ninth and Madison streets, but the boy refused to go. Prosser, whose beat is in that neighbor- hood, seems to be an intimate friend of Smith’s and the two are frequently seen together.

He was introduced by Presiden Collier of the Ex tion company, who re- ferred to him as the man who had been en- trusted with the duty of wiph Sut 280- tional issues and lines. Mr. Collier anid: “To an assembly com d of a yt citizens an introduction of the most a trious of living Americans is impossible, save as a mark of courtesy and an expres~- sion of the regard in which he ls held by his fellow-countrymen. Still, ‘it may be possible on this oceasion to signify in some degree our profound gratification at the presence of the chief executive of the na- tion.. The demonstrations he has already witnessed prove better than could any mere words the sincerity and the warmth of his welcome. He, of ali men in this country, should be best able to recognize the voice of the people, for unto him it has been shown in more emphatic terms than to any man of our generation, but we Must conv, to him an assurance of the admiration a eem of the people of the Southern States, especially of.

The air around the, City Hall is thick with rumors of additional revelations to come in the new City Hall scandal, but nothing of importance developed Wednes- day morning. Abéut 9 o’clock the Board of Tuesday night these two were walking | along Eighteenth street, and as they passed | Tourville Palmer and some companions | standing on the sidewalk it is alleged that | Smith pointed out the boy to Prosser. The | officers passed on and some boys across the | street shouted at Smith, who since the. charges were made against him has been re- garded with contempt by the people in that vicinity. Palmer started across the street to o home, and Prosser, who had hidden be- ind a tree, ran out, and grabbing him by the collar, placed him under arrest. Smith ran up and took hold of the boy and Grocer Blumeyer, who had witnessed the affair, came out and asked what they were arresting Palmer for. They replied that it was “none of his d—d business,” | and then Albert Palmer, father of the boy, came up and asked where they were taking his son. Prosser said to O’Fallon Park Station. Palmer asked them to take him to the Fourth District Station, where he could furnish bonds for his son, but he was told they would take him where they ‘“d—d pleased,’’ and Smith is alleged to have re- marked: ‘To the devil with the Fourth District, we will take him down here and fix him.”’ ‘T asked Prosser who he was,’’ said Mr. Palmer, ‘‘and he said, ‘I am an officer.” He had on a black hat and wore no star, go [| asked him where His star was.

When the officers attempted to put the boy on the car the people crowded around them, and the car passed on. Prosser drew his gun and struck at me. I dodged the biow, and he shot me.

Denies a Stery About Cutting Sal- aries in the Betting Ring. The St. Louis turf world had food for gossip when Tuesday's Cincinnati Enquirer reached here last night. In it Was a sensa- tional story about how Billy Kerwin, man- ager of the betting ring at the Fair Grounds, had cut the price paid the employes of the books doing business here by agreeing to furnish clerks and cashiers for $5 per day, 9 reduction of 50 per cent in the bane aid these men at the big tracks heretofore. Kerwin was getting $1 per day for furnishing the $5 clerks and cashiers, and, according to the Enquirer's story, he had gained an unenviable reputation in St. we seen about the matter this morn- ing, Manager Kerwin was highly indignant. He was at the Hast St. Louis Jockey Club office in company, with Capt. Sinclair, and both denounced the story 45 @ deliberate lie. Kerwin is assistant to Capt. Sinclair, who is the Secretary of the East St. Louis Jockey ‘Club. The former supervises the | drawing-in of the pookmakers at the Fair Grounds, and according to Capt. Sinclair both himself and Kerwin try to place their old clerks and cashiers from East St. Louls whenever it is possible. “Rew bookmakers have paid their help over $5 a day of late years, said Capt.

NEW YORK, Oct. 23.—Two men have been arrested here, who, in three years, accord- ing to the confession of one of them, have stolen, with the assistance of a third man, over $10,000 worth of silk from F. A. Strauss & Son, taking $700 worth within the past year. The men arrested are John Bergen, formerly a porter in the employ of the firm, and Wm. Steinbern. Steinbern is locked up in the Tombs, while Bergen is held in Jer- sey City, awaiting extradition papers. Both men, with several other persons, who are accused of having purchased the silk, know- ing jt to be stolen, were indicted by the Grand-jury. Detectives were searching last night for the receivers of the. stolen prop- erty. Strauss & Son are one of the largest im- porters of silk in this city. A few weeks ago while Detective Rynders was at Spring and Greene streets he heard two men con- versing about a robbery which had oc- curred in Strauss’ establishment.

Jacobs, Mechanicsburg, Pa., after the best physicians in her town could do nothing for her frequent fainting spells and terrible pains in her head, which | made life a burden to her, was induced by a Y | neighbor to take Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Pre- scription, a single bottle of which benefited her so greatly that she publicly advises all suffering ladies to use this infallible remedy. Mrs. Jennie Williams, Mohawk, Oregon, vainly tried doctor after doctor for the blind- ing dizzy spells, palpitation of the heart, pains in back and head, and nervous chills, with which she suffered over three years.

By protecting them the public protects itself. the comforts of life and lessen its burdens and dangers are the result of brains, study and genius, and there is a premium on brains the world over. Every discoverer is entitled to the fruits of his labor, genius and skill. it is enough that he places his discovery within the reach of the people. He need not make a partner of the public or a confidant of the profession. The case in point is a discovery which is annually brightening the lives of THOUSANDS OF WOMEN, A discovery which, according to their own written statements, has rescued over 90,000 women from conditions of hopeless despond- ency and despair and brought them happi- ness and health. This discovery is legally protected as Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. It is nota patent medicine, but its name and indi- against pirates and humbugs. It is the discovery of Dr. R. V. Pierce of Buffalo, N. Y., Chief Consulting Physician to the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute and author of The People’s Common Sense Medi- cal Adviser, of which over six hundred and eighty thousand copies have already been sold. Why shouldn’t women use it? Its dis- coverer is a regularly qualified physician who has made:the treatment of ailments peculiar to women a life study and a life specialty. His thirty years’ practice in this special field, during which he and his staff of specialists have successfully treated hundreds of thousands of cases, has af- forded him opportunities enjoyed by no one else for discovering the right methods and the right remedies. That he should, for his own protection and the protection of his patients who are scattered all over the globe, take advantage of that law of which every inventor in otuer sional nor ‘unbusiness-like. It’s sound common sense. In every State, city, town and hamlet Dr. Pierce’s discoveries have effected just such cures as those reported below. Long neg- lected, seriously complicated and so-called incurable cases are treated by him by let- ‘ter with a success that is simply astounding. |Where the ordinary practitioner treats one such case, Dr. Pierce and the skilled spe- cialists of the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute treat tens of thousands; and what is regarded by the local doctor as a compli- cated case, one that puzzles his brain and baffles his skill, is as simple of, treatment and sure of being curéd’in this Institution as is the drawing of a perfect circle to the one man in a million. This is another instance where practice makes perfect. It is a case where one man can do what millions of oth- érs cannot do. One reason that women suffer in silence agonies that would make A COWARD QF MAN is because her inborn modesty causes her to shrink from the ofdeal of submitting to med- ical examination and the stereotyped ‘‘local treatment.’’ When, finally, torture drives too often falls into hands that lack the rare ability of drawing that ‘‘perfect circle’’ up .n which her peace of mind, her happiness, and her life depend. instead of the treatment that makes thousands of cufés a certainty and tailure almost an unheard-of accident, that which makes failure a cer- i Bo stn, ae who is of su of tited of life, should fall to Dr. ,Oor to the World’s ‘Dis- ry Medical Association, of Buffalo, N. ., of ae et ee is President. ceive, free of charge, , sound, profes- sional advice that will enable her to herself at home (if her case is cur | tly, painlessly, permanently, ‘ eS ee. without having undergo + | ing ordeal of ‘‘eyaminations’’ and the stere- | ee yped and dreaded treatment by ‘* Discoveries that increase .

When Mr. Jones arrived with his witsesses and his attorney, Col. John L Martin, he a to the latter against the proceeding. pon the announcement of the continuance by Mr. Clover Col, Martin entered a formal rotest before the court, but, as the law al- ows it, Mr. Steigers’ request was granted. A large crowd which had gathered was visibly disappoihted. The trouble arose over a dispute about the payment of $5 to a young man named Southard who had been employed by Mr. Steigers as an advertising solicitor in the usiness office of the Post-Dispatch prior o his discharge. Mr. Steigers was respon- _— for Southard’s salary, but under the ld regime the cashier of the paper used to pay it. Then the advertising manager set- tled with the pe er. Southard had worked two days for Steigers, for which he had re- ceived no salary. Mr. Jones refused to pay it on the ground that the paper, did not owe. money to one of Mr, Steigers’ employes. Mr. Steigers thought the paper should do so because he had not made his final settle- ment with it, and Tuesday afternoon he went to the Post-Dispatch office with South- ard and ade the demand on Mr. Jones. He behaved boisterously and Mr. Jones or- dered him from the office’ and sent for a policeman, As the officer hesitated to re- move Mr. Steigers; Mr. Jones pushed him out of the office and received a blow in the face. The policeman then arrested Mr. Steigers. He was taken to the Chestnut street station and released on his own rec- ognizance, Mr. G. ' A young man in Philadelphia was fatally in- jured not long ago by so innocent a thing 45 & cuff button. He fell in such a manner that the butten was driven deep into the flesh of his wrist. The wound, though painful, was not considered dangerous, and no great precaution was considered necessary until signs of lockjaw appeared. Then of course, all treatment was useless. od This is one example of the power for mischief little things. Here is another less dramatic, but | , more common and, therefore, more impressive. | : People who went from town to country in the 2 beautiful summer of 1895, delighted to spend most of their time out of doors. “They even lay on the soft grass at night, watching the stars and enjoy- ing the ¢ool breeze. If, upon rising, a man found his back stiff he said, ‘‘I must have been ig one po- sition too long.’’ If the stiffness persisted until the next day he said, ®) guess J] must have taken a little cold.”’ , But now vacations are over and the autumn is well advanced. That soreness and weakness in the lower prt of the back continue and witb them are éther disorders. Shivering and fever alternate, there is ab unconqgyerable feeling of lassjtude at times, the urine is opaque and sometimes bloody, the skin is pallid and the face bloated just beneath the eyes. Digestion is poor and appetite almost gone. ‘Let us l6ok the matter in the face without flinch- ing. This is more than a little cold, although in the beginning it was only a sudden checking of the ac- tion of the skin’ and kidneys. Now it is the dreaded Bright’s disease, a foe to life quite ‘as deadly as consumption. Common sense would dictate that no time be lost in vain regrets that more prudence was not exercised in the country. Let us find a remedy if we can. We are fortunate to know that Warner’s Safe Cure will bring back health and energy, and the normal action of the kidneys. It is the function of the Kidneys to expel from the system broken down tissues in the form of urea and uric acid, together with certain salts that have done their work. No other organ than the kidneys can rid the body of this death laden matter. Congested, inflamed kidneys act as a drain to keep poison in the system. What makes Warner's Safe Cure the wonder and admiration of the medical profession, is its power to soothe the inflammatjon in the kidneys and to allay the congestion 80 that the urine, once more healthy in color and consistency, carries away the waste freely and promptly. One does not necessarily die soon of Bright's dis- ease. He may lead a miserable uncertain invalid life for years. But what weary dragging years they are! Let the sufferer shake off his burden of sickness and suspense. He will find hope and health in Warner’s Safe Cure. CITY NEWS. Private matters skillfully treated and medicines furnished. Dr. Dinsbeer, $14 Pine. Col. John M, Glover, the little but pug- nacious attorney, blew into the Four Courts Wednesday morning like a wrathful tor- nado and demanded a summons against Law Librarian Gamble Jordan of Police Court Clerk Eggers. The Colonel’s face was some- what dismantled and caught the respectful atention of Eggers immediately, whereupon he told @ picturesque and and highly col- ored tale of woe. The Colonel’s pugnacity gets him into a scrap with somebody at intervals of about every change of the moon, and though he usually gets the worst of it, he/is always ready to fight any-stack-of black cats or a ge buzgz-saw that he meets in his He entered the law library at the Court- house soon after the noon hour, Tuesday, and bustled around among the books, lodok- ing for authorities on knotty legal prob- lems involved in a suit he has charge of: Shelf after shelf did pe ransack and vol- ume after volume did he pile up om the tables until, to the orderly and methodical mind of Librarian Jordan, he appeared to be piling Pelion upon Ossa to mount-high Olympus. Now, Mr. Jordan doesn’t rove of his piling process and declares that ol. Glover knows he doesn’t. More than that, one of the ruleg of the library pre- scribes that’ no member shall use at the same time “more than a reasonable number of books.” Mr, Jordan says he has a very definite and distinct idea as to the meanin of “a reasonable number,” and that Col. Glover has too. But acording to the Libra- rian’s interpretation of the rule, the Colonel had already far exceeded the “reasonable number’’ limit, and was striding toward the shelves f6r more books, when he was po- tely reminded that he should replace some of those already removed from ‘their places/ and piled on the tables before he got any more. Col. Glover paid no attention to this and kept striding toward the shelves. Librarian Jordan picked up an armful of books the Colonel had left on the tables and was moving off with them. “Hey, there!” shrieked the Colonel. “Put those books back on the table.” Mr. Jordan ve no heed to this command save a look of scorn. In a jiffy Col. Glover was at his sidé The librarian was made aware of his close preximity by a fitful whiff of air that ee past his face in response to the jab made at him by the Colonel’s chubby fist.

Glover’s héad in chancery with his left arm, round the room they started at a swift pace, bumping against tables and knocking over chairs. The Colonel’s arms fanned the air like a windmill, but not once did his fists land on his antagonist. All this time Mr. Jordan was getting in stiff punches on the Colonel’s face with his handy right.

Mr. Whittemore agid that he did not care to have the case tried in advance in the newspapers. _ “IT will say, however,” he said, “that the charge against us is positively without foundation. We never knowingly broke the rules of the Board of Underwriters. The only thing that can be said st us is that we have committed a technical viola- tion of another rule, and that is a thing every member of the board is doing con- stantly and knowingly..

Before leaving Mr. Jones told Chief Har- rigan that it was not his desire to persecute the officer or cause him ennecessary pun- ishment, but that he felt it his duty as a citizen to make sure that when the services of a policeman were required they would be promptly rendered. In answer to a question Chief Harrigan informed Mr. Jones that Mr. Steigers or any one else had no right in his office unless invited there and that he could have any interloper arrested by preferring charges of trespass against him.

Chrysanthemums are behind the times this year—that is they are late in bloom- ing, and local florists are worried as to the result of the Chrysanthemum show. For the past three years home-growers have .out- done outside competition. Missuorit chrysanthemums are larger, more solid, and of richer colors than the flowers from Illinios, Indiana and Missis- sippl. ich? Eugene Michel of the 8t. Louis Florist Club says that the hot, dry fall is the cause of the lateness of the popular flowers coming. By careful reckon. ing he has discovered that the chrysanthe- mums here are just ten days behind time. They are also late at various other points. It has always been usual to hold the flower show during the second week in November, but owing to the above it will be postponed this year until Nov. 18. This was decided at a meeting of flower men Monday. STOLE THE ICE CREAM. Judge Murphy May Find Contributory Negligence in This Case.

In a few seconds Col. Glover’s head came into violent contact with a nail in the wall. A jet of blood gushed out of his scalp and bespat- red the face of his antagonist. According to.Mr. Jordan, Col. Glover ran up a flag of truce and asked for time. Then the librar- ian released him, and the lawyer walked out the room vowing vengeano@® Mr. Jor- dan han’t seen him since. The librarian complains that Col. Glover has been violating the rules of the library for a long time in the manner indicated and he had to do something to enforce his au- thority. After Clerk Eggers had heard Col. Glov- er’s side of the occurrence he took the mat- ter under advisement. McCarthy Declines to Offiliate. LONDON, Oct. 23.—Mr. Justin McCarthy, M.

Mr. McCarthy says that he does not believe any thing in the way of material improvement in the condition of Ireland will be conferred by the Parliament at Westminster or Dublin Castle which will extinguish the national desire for home rule. Still he could not take part in any organiza- tion having for its object to seek a sub- stitute for that which he believes is Ire- land’s greatest need. PUSHING HER CLAIMS.
