Then will come, in all probability, the bot- test time of the spell. The thermometer may register no higher, but everyone will feel it more, on acgount of the humidity. Dr. Frankenfield says that the atmos- phere contains now about 50 per cent of humidity. This means that it now has about half what it can hold. Just before the thunder shower it will have a lot more and that will means intense suffering. “Tf the atmosphere should contain 75 per cent of humidity,“ said the weather proph- et to the Post-Dispatch man,“ where you now have one sunstroke you would have six. It is a mighty lucky thing for the people that this spell has been so dry, It allows evaporation of the perspiration and this keeps us cool.“ THURSDAY'S VICTIMS.

Dr. Frankenfield has good news this morn- ing—that is it is good by comparison. He thinks he can see the end of this ter- rible hot spell. By Friday night he hopes for a slight moderation at least. The reason for this is that the area of high barometer on the Gulf Coast is weak- ening. There is a high barometer up in the region of Lake Superior. A tug of war is on between the two. The odds are in favor of the Northern area. If the latter wins we get cool weather in St. Louls. If it loses we are gone. Dr. Frankenfield is rooting for the Lake Superior product.

Dr. Love Says Eat Little and Drink Nothing but Water. There would not be one half as many heat prostrations if the people would only take dare of themselves. They deliberately do things in the hot weather that get their systems into the ripest sort of condition for the deadly work of old Sol. According to high medical authorities a normal man, the functions of whose body are in good shape, is in no more danger of being overcome by the heat on a day Uke this than he would be in the middle of Jan- uary. The sun had been up and sizzling about three hours when a Post-Dispatch reporter tackled Dr. I. N. Love in his office on what to do and what not to do to keep from being sunstruck. The medico was attired in a linen suit and looked as cool ag an iced cucumber as he gave his advice. The first thing to do,” said the doctor, “is to avoid over-exertion as much as pos- sible. People should keep quiet and not heat themselves up with exercise if they can help it. “Then all stimulants should be avoided, Everything with alcohol in it is dangerous, It heats the blood and excites the nesyes. Even coffee and tea should be avo . Ice tea is an abomination. It is pleasant to take in hot weather and there is a tempta- tion to take a great deal of it.

It does not result di- rectly from the sun’s action. It is a dis- order of the. nerve centers, as the result of heat. “In a normal man the system preserves a heat equilibrium. For instance, in a Turk- ish bath, where the thermometer registers 150 degrees, the temperature of the man does not go that high or anywhere near it. There is a natural adjustment, which keeps the blood at a safe temperature. “tn sunstroke there is an accumulation of heat in the body which drives the tem- perature up as high as 110 degrees and re- sults in death. This is a result of the stop- page of secretions. It is largely a matter of secretion and excretion. “So long as the res and bowels are open there is little danger. Nothing should be done to stop either. For this reason the diet should be looked after. Sudden cool- ing drafts should be avoided when one is in a state of prespiration. Electric fans are bad, for the reason that they cool the skin suddenly and thus close the pores.

I. BURT AT AUSTIN, TEX. HE DROWNED THE WOMAN. Bound Her and Put Her in the Cistern and Knocked the Children’s ) Brains Out. Special to The Post-D!spatch. AUSTIN, Tex., July 30.—One of the most heinous crimes ever committed in the city was brought to light at 10:30 o’clock this morning. W. E. Burt, a member ot one of ihe most and most respectable families of the city, murdered his wife and two children, aged 2 and 4 years, last Friday night and Placed the dead bodies in a cistern. His residence adjoined the business por- tion, and the foul stench led to an investi- gation. He left the city Saturday night after committing the terrible deed, and in- formed several of the neighbors not to drink the water, as it was polluted by a dead cat. His relatives became alarmed at the dis- appearance of his family and when he de- parted something was suspected. The wife was asleep. He bound her in a blanket, tied her feet and neck and dropped her strugggling body into the cistern. Both children had their brains knocked out. His brothers have offered a reward of $300 for his apprehension. Old citizens say the crime was one of the most villainous ever committed in this section of the "BAPLOSION. Two Men Killed and Several Injurod at the Regina Flour Mills. Thbre was a terrible explosion a few minutes before 3 o’clock at 601 South Main street.

3 = * SCHOOLBOARD COMMITTEE LIKES HIS BOILER. NOBODY KNOWS EXACTLY WHY. Experts Say It Is Expensive and Not Conspicuously Safe, but It Ex- cludes All Others. Those who have been looking for a nig- ger’ in tne School Board wood pile claim to have discovered the sable gentleman con- cealed in the specifications for heating ap- paratus and boilers adopted last Friday by the School Board Building Committee. The specifications for boilers shut out all competition, and provide fora boiler, which, it is stated, has been partially condemned by the City Boiler Inspector, and upon which a prominent insurance company nas refused in one instance to continue its rink, because it deems the apparatus unsafe. The beneficiary under the specifications is E. M. Bosley, formerly a member of the School Board, and long identified with School Board politics. Mr. Bosley has a patent on a boiler, known as the incandescent. The cpecifications for the heating appar- atus are open to the same objections as those for the boilers excluding all but cer- tain makes, and thereby exposing the board and the public to the extortion ofa monopoly in this direction. The School Board necessary to put new heating appliances in the Dozier, Mt. Pleasant, Tremont and Blow Schools. A fund of $30,000 was set aside for the purpose. The matter ad referred to the Building Committee, of which John Kissner is chair- man. A sub-committee was appointed to decide upon specifications, consisting of Kissner and H. C. Koenig, Alex Cudmore and C. G. Penney. These four gentlemen met Friday after- noon, July 17, and decided that r. Bos- ley’s patented incandescent boiler was the only one at all suitable for the schools. This at once placed in Mr. Bosley's hands a valuable monopoly. There is but one boiler company in St. Louis making Mr. Bosley’s boilers, It is the Joseph F. Wang- ler Boiler and Sheet Iron Works Co. Under instructions John Kelly, Assistant Superintendent of Construction, drew up the specifications for the heating apparatus and boilers. For the heating apparatus the specifica- tions required the B. F. Sturtevant fans, engines and heating and tempering coils, „or such as were equally as good.“ The principal specification for the boilers was as follows: “This boiler to be known as the Incan- descent Boiler constructed in the manner as shawn on plans and specified.” There was no alternative allowed of “something equally as good.” These specifications were presented to the full Building Committee last Friday after- ternoon. The committee consists Chair- man John Kissner and Alex Cudmbore, El- mer E. Lacey, C. W. ee HA. G. Koenig, Nicholas Berg and C. G. Penney. At Friday's meeting Lacey was not present. He is understood, however, to favor Mr. Bosley’s boilers. Meanwhile it has leaked out that a mo- nopoly had been conferred upon E. XI. Bosley, and considerable dissatisfaction was aroused among the St. Louis boiler makers. The fact that an incandescent boiler in the Fraternal building, Eleventh and Franklin avenue, had been partially condemned by City Boiler Inspector Price wms boldly. As- serted, and also that the company carrying the risk on the Fraternal building had or- dered the boiler removed to avoid a cancel- lation of the insurance policy. According to Mr. John O’Brien, President 6. Me’Fonn O'Brien Boller Works Company, this brought Chairman Kissner to his of- fice one day last week, prior to the meet- ing yf the full Building Committee. Mr. O’Brien states that Kissner asked him about the incandescent boiler, and, learning the objections to It, made this statement. “I will try to prevent this. If I don’t, it will look as if I were in the swindle.” “Mr. Kissner came back to my Wednesday morning,” said Mr. O’Brien to a Post-Dispatch reporter. He said he had been unable to do anything, as four of the committee were in favor of Bosley’s boiler, and that he and Director Hequembourg were the only ones voting against the spec- ifications. “One of these boilers is in the Fraternal Building, Eleventh and Franklin avenue.“ continued Mr. O’Brien. The City Boiler Inspector let it be operated at low pres- sure last week under protest, but I under- stand he has since condemned it. I know that Huff & Sons, who were carrying the risk, ordered the boiler re- moved on the ground that it was danger- ous, “Some time ago I was asked to bid on one and put my price at $1,100. Afterward I learned that it was patented and refused to make a contract. he man who wanted the boiler subsequently told me he had to ay $2,300 for it, Which shows a difference of Ui. between the cost of it and other kinds. The fault of the boiler is in its. con- struction. It has double water shells se- cured by stay bolts. It is so constructed that these stay-bolts cannot be examined. They are corroded and warped by the gases and heat, and before it is known that the bolts have become defective, the boiler blows up.“ Newton B. Stewart, manager of the Rohan Bros.’ Boiler Works Co., made a Similar statement to a Post-Dispatch re- porter Thursday morning. He expressed the belief that the boilers in question wero unsafe, and showed the reporter a letter he had addressed to the John Ramming Ma- chine Co., declining to manufacture for them an incandescent boiler, because his company did not care to turn out a boiler that would be unsatisfactory. The bids on the work will be opened by the Building Committee Friday afternoon. It is understood that a protest will be made to the committee against the specifications for boilers. In regard to the Incandescent boiler at the Fraternal Building, a Post-Dispatch reporter called at the office of Huff & Sons, who had the risk. Mr. C. E. Huff stated that it was true that notice had been given that the boller must be removed in ten days or reinforced thor- oughly. Mr. C G Huff, the company’s inspector, stated that he had found it impossible to raise 80 pounds pressure in the Fraternal bulilding’s boiler. The attempt made the boiler leak all over. The valves were wrong- ly arranged and were faulty. He called the attention of the City Boller Inspector to it, who restricted the pressure to 60 pounds. Since notice had been served by the company, the defects had been reme- died to a great extent, and the insurance company had consented to permit the boiler to remain. “An improvement is now being made.“ said Mr. Huff, “and the new patterns are far superior to the original. The danger of the double water cells and stay boits remains, however, so far as I can ascertain. Patent boilers are of no use, anyhow, and there is nothing about this boiler that I know of to cause it to be adopted to the exclusion of others.“ | Commenting on the specifications for the boilers, an expert who wishes his name withheld said: “The specifications for boilers look as if they had been drawn up by Mr. Bosley. This Incandescent boiler is dangerous, be- cause it has fully 100 square feet of heat- ing surface above the water line exposed to the full force of the heat and flames, as they are directly over the ates. This construction is equivalent to using a Heine, Babcock & Wilcox, Sterling or Feeminish boiler without any water in the shells.

The price bid for the City Hall boilers was $13.28 per horse power. The Incandes- cents can not be built for less than per horse power.“ John Kelly, Assistant Superintendent of Construction, was asked about the boilers. “They are all right,“ said he. Two years ago I opposed thein because I thought them faulty, although Architect Kirchher Nas in favor of them. Since then they have been improved and are all right.“ “Had Mr. irchner any interest in the matter?’’ “None that I know of. The idea that he is interested in the patent probably rew from the fact that he signed Mr. osley’s application for a patent as a | witness.’’ Mr. Kelly could not explain why the Bos- ley boiler should have been adopted, to the exclusion of all others. He thought it was a superior article, however, and went into an elaborate explanation of its advantages. He explained how the down draft used up all the smoke, how a much greater .eating surface was secured than in most boilérs, and how there was no brick work to ab- sorb the heat. “As for the pressure,“ said Mr. Kelly. “but 10 or 15 12 are necessary in heat- ing the schools and running the fans.“ The reporter called on E. M. Bosley. “Of course they are kicking,“ said Mr. “They want to put their own boil- “Do you think that there is cause of com- Plaint when all competition is shut off?“ „Well, the School Board has tried these boilers and has found them so cheap and econuymical that they want more of them. That's all there is to it. “Now, I'll show you why John O’Brien is kicking,” and r. Bosley showed a letter over Mr. O’Brien’s name stating that he could not bid on the Incandescent boil- ers because he had a contract with the owner of another patent.“ “Your boiler is said by the boilermakers to be unsafe, said the reporter. “They are not unsafe. -Mr. O’Brien is the one who says that.“ Mr. Newton B. Stewart makes the same statement.”’ “He does not.“ “I saw a letter in which he stated that he could not make your boiler because .he did not want to turn out anything that would be unsatisfactory.” — Mr. Bosley could not understand this. He was asked about his boiler in the Fra- ternal building having been ordered re- moved by Huff & Sons. sa ae never did anything of the kind,“ said r. Bosley. When assured that Mr. C. E. Huff had so stated, Mr. Bosley was again nonplussed. He was asked about the improvements made in his boilers. He described them and said they were made for economy’s sake. Are the boilers in the Fraternal build- ing as safe as the improved pattern?“ Les, every bit. My bollers are in use in St. Louis. One of them is at the Country Club, giving perfect satisfaction.” “How does it happen that your boilers are adopted to the exclusion of all others?’’ “I don’t know. I did not know that they were adopted until afterward. The direct- ors had seen them in use and wanted them. They went to Mr. Wangler and asked him if he could make them. He said yes, and they were adopted.“ Before the meeting of the Building Com- mittee, Mr. John O’Brien wrote to Chair- man Kissner, detailing the alleged defects in the Incandescent boiler. The committee, however. went ahead. In addition to the boiler specifications, competition is shut out in the specifications for heating apparatus in several of the schools. In some of these specifications the Sturtevant heating fans and engines are called for, shutting out all others. In the specification for a heat regulatin system, the Johnson system is called for to the exclusion of all others. AN ANONYMOUS CIRCULAR. Effort to Injure Lon V. Stephens With Anti-Prohibitionists. There is being industriously scattered through all the saloons and wholesale liquor houses of the city an unsigned circular entitled, “What Lon Stephens Thinks of Prohibition.” The circular purports to be from Mr. Stephens, expressing decided views why the liquor traffic should be suppressed. A friend of Mr. Stephens, who happened to see one of the circulars, said of it: “This is a malicious le, emanating from a mischievous source. Mr. Stephens never wrote any such letter in his life, and he is not a prohibitionist. “Mr. Stephens, like every other sensible man, respects the prohibitionists, but he is not one of them.“ VISITORS IN THE CITY.

It Will Be Here Sunday Night Unless the Stars Are Out of Kelter. Capt. J. G. Joyce, surveyor and civil en- gineer, has been for many years a careful student of astrology.dnd astronomy, and he has great faith in their application to ter- restrial affairs and mundane. phenomena. Capt, Joyce is President of the Joyce Sur- veying Company, 720% Chestnut street. As a result of His recent observations he predicts for Sunday midnight next or there- about a severe earthquake, such, as has not been known. for many years. The plan- etary conditions have not been as they will be Sunday in over 200 years. There condition as stated by Capt. Joyce, are as follows: a The moon and Mars will be rising in the east in the sign Taurus, Uranus and Scorpio will be setting in the west in the sign Scorp- io, and in direct opposition to the moon and Mars. : 4 The sun. Jupiter, Venus and Mercury to Uranus ana Saturn in the west and the moon and Mars in the east. Capt Joyce'says that the relative aspects of the planets in the three groups is very evil, as has been repeatedly demonstrated by observationg extending over more than 400,000 . years. , What makes the situation.so bad is that the planets are in three groups, and that one group is in Leo, another in Scorpio and the other in Taurus. Capt. Joyce says that if the signs fail this time it will be the first time in recorded his- tory that so pronounced an astrological con- dition has been at fault. ; He does not want to say how bad this earthquake will be, because it might fright- en women and children, but there will be a nice, active earthquake along about Sunday night. nevertheless. Caps, Joyce is not alarmed, because his studies of the stars have made him more or less of a fatalist 'n matters of this kind.

Mr. Coyle stood high in business in fash- circles. Mrs. Coyle stood high lonable society. Mr. Coyle was a devoted husband, Mrs. Coyle an affectionate wife. There was apparently nothing to mar the happiness cc the couple. Their home was the scene of many fashionable events, and nothing was lacking, apparently, to make their lives one long, sweet song. While the couple were thus pleasantly purjuing their daily lives, Mr. Coyle one day left for New York on what he told his wife would be a trip of rather long dura- tion. Ten days after Mr. Coyle’s departure he returned to St. Louis. Late in the even- ing of his return he went to his home, ac- companied by his attorney, Ford Smith, and two detectives, They broke into the house, forcing the front door. Proceeding to Mrs. Coyle’s boudoir they surprised Mrs. Coyle and Henry W. Chand- ler, an Olive street electrical supply agent, in each other’s company. Mr. Coyle previously had been informed by the detectives that Chandler had been cali- ing at the Coyle residence nightly for some ten nights, spending the greater part of each night there. He was provided with a latch key to the front door. He usually left the house very early, just at daybreak. It was past midnight when Mr. Coyle found Chandler in his wife’s boudoir. Chandler was thrust from the house. His feet were protected from the damp, cold pavement only by his socks. His patent+leather razor-toed shoes were borne in triumph to the office of Mr. weyers attorney. Next day St, Louls society was shocked by a divorce suit filed . Mr. Coyle, in which the scene at Mrs. re residence was described in all its details. Mrs. Coyle 1 left for the home of her mother in Council Bluffs, 10. Mr. Coyle instituted ‘criminal proceedings against Chandler, who was fined $500 by Judge Murphy and sentenced to the rock pile for six months. Chandler appealed, and the Supreme Court decided that he was guilty of no crime, Several weeks after the divoree suit was filed, St. Louis society was once more surprised by an announcement that Mr. and Mrs. James F. Coyle had registered together at the Auditorium Hotel in Chi- cago. When Mr. Coyle returned from Chicago he denied that anything of the kind had Investigation proved, however. that Mr. and Mrs. Coyle had been &t the Auditorium Hotel together and had occu- pied the same apartment.

THE SAME AS IN OTHER CITIES. It Is a Matter of Opinion Whether It Is Due to the Gold Standard or to Other Depressing Causes. In an editorial on general business con- Gitions published in the Post-Dispatch ef July 2, the following paragraph ap- peared: “Within three months Id syndicate statesmanship had cha all that. It forced down the values of all St. Louis prop- erty, and especially of all St. Louis real es- tate, It simply paralyzed the growth of the 2 Within a single — St. Louis was millione poorer. The destructive effect of the cyclone on the property of the city was nothing to that of the complete establish- ment of the gold standard, the consequent violent contraction of the money of final redemption and the depreciation of all val- ues incident thefeto.”’ Several of the Cheap John newspapers of the city have pretended to find in this an attack on St. Louis business interests, and have induced a number of real estate agents and others to complain of it as a misrepre- sentation of facts, : It is not/the purpose or the desire of the Post-Dispatck to engage in a controversy on the subject. The statement was made that there has been a depreciation of real estate values as well as in the values of all other property; and St. Louis was selected as one of the cities where this deprecia- tion has taken place. The same conditions exist in every other city of the United States. They are worse in Chicago, and as bad in New York, Bos- ton and Philadelphia. St. Louis is no excep- tion, but the falling off in business was brought home to the people of the West by illustrating in their own metropolis the ex- isting conditions. It has been common talk among real es- tate men for months that business has bcen dull. The real-estate reporters of the sev- eral newspapers have been told so by every agent in the city of St. Louts. Various causes have been assigned for the dullness, varying largely with the political opinions of the speakers. They have been told that sales could not be made, except at great sacrifices. That would indicate that there has been a decline, due 60 some cause, for business ac- tivity can only be measured by actual real- izable market values, and not by the ask- ing price of holders who fail to sell. There is no better criterion of the condi- tion of the real estate interests of the city than is given by the records of the real es- tate transfers filed with the Recorder of Deeds. The following table showing the total of transfers filed for the third week of June, in the years 1892, 1893, 1894, 1895 and 1896, speaks for itself: 1892, third 1893, third third third 1896, third week great falling off is clearly shown by the fact that the total transfers recorded for the third week of June, are less than one-half of those recorded for the corresponding week of 1892. These figures show duliness, and it is a business law that where dullness exists depreciation sure- ly follows. 1 In building circles, cémplaint of dullness is as general as in real estate. There is lit- tle doing, and not much prospect for several months to come. It is true that building ermits have been taken out for three arge buildings in the past three weeks, but this was done to evade the limitations of the Ives high building ordinance, which is expected to become effective at an early day, and not because of any intention to begin work at once on either of the build- 1894, 1895, ngs. Another feature showing the general stag- nation of real estate is shown by the dis- continuance of real estate auctions by all agents. In prosperous times, and when property is in demand, these sales are pop- ular and bring out many buyers looking for bargains. ‘ Of perhaps twenty such sales held in this city since Jan. 1, it is stated by a well posted real estate man that not more than three have been successful. Interviews with real estate men whose udgment is unquestioned are appended. ey acknowledge that there has been de- reciation as stated by the Post-Dispatch. his is also acknowledged in published in- terviews with Charles F. Vogel, George Dausman, R. B. Snow, assistant secretary of the Real Estate Exchange, C. Thomp- kins, J, H. Dieckmann, Moses Greenwood, A. R. Schollmeyer and F. E. Niesen.

It was very largely attended and the sentiment was overwhelmingly in favor of the uncon- ditional repeal. There were a number of speeches made in favor of repeal, among which I pare er remember those of Mr. Jas. M. Carpenter and the late Edward 8. Rowse. They said: ‘Repeal this law, stop the coinage of silver and confidence will be restored. Real estate will become active again, prices will advance and our business will be more prosperous than ever.’ “Mr. F, J. Wade and myself were the only members who voted against the reso- lution. In a short speech 1 took the posi- tion that the remedy was worse than the disease, that it might cure the panic, but the after results would be by far worse than the panic. “I contended then that the cutting off of $50,000,000 from an annual product of money would demoralize business, cause a fall in all prices and in less than three years the sales under deeds of trust would in- crease and cash sales would crease. Such has been the result, and I need not em- phasize it by giving the figures. „„I further maintained that the merchants over the country, who were clamoring for the unconditional repeal of the law, might find temporary relief, but it would be the cause of thousands of them failing later on. I took the illustration of a mer- chant on capital doing a $500,000 business. might for a while renew his notés in the bank and extend the date of his bills, but selling his goods on a constantly falling market, he would sooner or later lose his capital and be forced to the wall. The results have been as predicted. The Globe-Democrat in an editorial the first week in April gave the number of failures for the quarter end- ing March 31 as 4,512 more than ever before in the history of the country. „The same paper, in its editorial columns, a few days ago stated that eighteen rail- roads went into the hands of receivers dur- ing the six months ending June 30, against twelve last year, and the capital involved was about $194,000,000 as against about $134,- 000. No man will invest his money in real estate when he feels if he waits a while he can buy for less. No man will put his- money into a stock ef goods when he feels that he will be compelled to sell at a loss. As money increases in value or purchasing power all property must necessarily de- crease in value, Water does not run up hill nor will money flow into the channels o trade as long as its purchasing power or value is going up.“ Wm. T. Mathews, secretary and treasurer of the Mathews Real Estate Co., said: 1 doubt the policy of such an editorial as recently appeared in the Post-Dispatch, but do not think that any slur on business interests was intended. No one can deny that there has been for some little time a lack of vitality and activity in all lines of business, and real estate interests have suffered, as well as others. I believe St. Louis to be in better condition than any other large city in the country, but the fact cannot be denied that there 1d a lack of activity, and by reason of su fact many who have desired to sell have had to take less than commonly accepted values. In the last thirty days my experience has been that a better feeling prevails and that there is more inquiry.“ Leslie A. Moffett of Moffett & Franciscus: I am not prepared to say that there has been a depreciation of real estate values in St. Louis. Holders of property, who are not forced to sell by their financial con- dition or inability to carry their holdings will make no concessions in prices. They are willing to wait for better times. How- ever, they could not sell just now unless they would make concessions, for pur- chasers are not willing to make invest- ments at values asked. There are many persons who must sell, and these people are offering their property at low prices. Another feature of the market which is no- ticeable is the lack of success which has been met with in real estate auctions. There have been a large number of auc- tions held since Jan. 1, but I think that erhaps not more than three or four have een as successful as their conductors ex- pected. Robert M. Noonan of the Noonan Real Es- tate Co.: Business is dull, there is no use de- nying it. This is due to the fact that in- vestors are not willing to put their money into real estate. A man who has $20,000 to invest says to himself, “I know that if I have this money in bank it is safe but I am not so sure about putting it into real es- tate as I might not be able to get the money out that I put into it.“ This accounts for the present dullness, which fs sure to con- tinue until after the presidential election. I find plenty of people who are willing to exchange city realty for property in the suburbs, outside the city limits, but the trouble is that the man in the country sets too high a value on his property. Cash —— as I have said, are very hard to make. John O' Nell, a well known realty and hotel man, said: I can assure the Post- Dispatch from my own experience that ther has been a material depreciation of values in St. Louis realty. I can cite you several instances. One of them was a piece of property that I owned omSixth street, just south of, Olive. I valued it in 1892 at $100,- 000, and Mr. Rowse, the real estate man, on a conservative basis, valued it at $80,000. He offered to lend me $60,000 on it. After Cleveland's election I went to get the loan and was told that the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Co., which Mr. Rowse rep- resented, had scaled the loan down to 000. 1 was afterward forced to sell to liis Wainwright for $65,000. “I also owed $26,000 on two pieces of prop- erty at the corners of Twelfth and Four- teenth and Poplar streets and wished to renew the loans on them. They had cost me and $26,000 respectively. I was not able to renew the loan and was sold out. The 893 brought just $26,000 and I lost the difference, „000. I call that depreciation with a vengeance.” T. B. Bell, a well-posted real estate man said: 1 read the editorial in the Post * regarding depressions in values of St. uis real estate, and I am frank to ad- mit that business in my line for the year could have been much better. 7 do not know that there has been a rauical de- cline in realty values in St. Louis, but no sane man, unless he be prejudiced, can truthfully say that commodities of every =e, nave — 222 or — worth to-day wha ey were prior to the repeal a ye law in 1880. Ange eles * o not loo or a material change i business for the better until silver 12 Bn 1 as money on a basis or parity of “Some of our gold friends tell us that to open our mints to the world means a pan- ic and great financial distress, as we wouid not be able to maintain that parity or coin silver at 16 to 1. This, in my opinion, is all wrong. The resources and the intelligence of the American people are such that no law can ever be put on the statute books. that will bring distress to the commercial inter- ests of the country, if the Democratic party is at the helm and has charge of the airs of the country. Under existing circum- stances I am in favor of doing away with the gold reserve. As stated before the Post-Dispatch is not seeking a controversy. When it states a fact, however, and that fdct is challenged, it feels called upon to prove the truth of its statement. In this case the fact is notorious. 4 THIS WAS PERRY’S DAY.

It was a formal notice, signed by Col. James O. Broadhead, chairman, and Wm. M. 1 secretary, that he (Krauthoff), the National Committeeman representing the goldbug Democrats of Missouri in the Wall street conference at Chicago, was — * to to issue the call for a State con- ention. As he will also represent Missouri at tha Indianapolis goldbug conference August 7, he is authorized to, fix the date and issue the call when the 1 street Democrats come together to be counted. ednesday’s meeting of the gold committee in Col. Broadhead’s office, whtre it was decided to leave to Attorney Kraut- hoff the fixing of the time and place for the State Convention, many plans were scussed. N f It was admitted by those who had looked into the matter that the revised election law, which requires signatures representing 1 per cent of the State vote before an in- dependent ticket can be placed in the field, was a hard@roblem. Missouri Democrats are for Bryan and Sewall and silver. They will have nothing to do with die conv ons, “rump tickets or “rump”? leaders.

If it is there decided to put a national ticket in the field, the Missouri Wall street followers will endeavor to get an electoral gold ticket in the districts and to follow this with a State ticket exclusively made up of yellow metal worshipers. To put up an electoral ticket the gold- standard Democrats will have to get the signatures of 1 per cent of the voters, just as they would if they were to put a Congres- sional candidate in the field in each district. To secure enough signatures in many of the districts will be impossible. Yet the Wall street Democrats assert that they are in the campaign to stay. In addition to sending notice to Krauthoff to issue the call, the “Stee Commit tee appointed T. K. Skinker, Price Lane and James L. Biair a committee of three to confer with other Wall street Democrats as to the time to call a mass-meeting of the St. Louis goldbugs. t is proposed to hold this meeting very soon, probably in advance of the Indian- apolis conference. etl — From the New to how the ing. in oan well his ovwn A great and co which he ping Lon Tork Journal. a strong predilection for power. e is a y ther Rape og his fai An imprint of the h I ennings Bryan e hand of William J 2 palm strength and enabled to endure many .

A well-known Democrat who came down from there Thursday, was emphatically of the opinion that Kansas City would have nothing to do with the movement, “You can count the gold Democrats of Kansas City on your hands,” gaid he. “They are insignificant in numbers and not formidable as to influence. Each Wall street Democrat in Kansas City probably controls his own vote, but that’s about as far as his influence extends. “From what I have learned of the move- ment in St. Louis, it is being promoted and fostered by the same men. “Their State convention should not be dignified by calling it such.

THE CUMMER-S 00 With All Its Heat CANNOT THE 1 erden —ü— “WE ARE OPPOSED TO THETRED COINAGE OF SILVER. * * * THE EXISTING GOLD STANDARD MUST BE PRESERVED.”—Republican Plat- form. 1 — CLEVELAND IS THE MAN. It is given out by Secretary Morton’s friends that he is the man who has been fixed upon as the candidate for President bp thé proposed rump convention, and mat he is now in Nebraska arranging for home support. Secretary Morton is just about small enough to fit the movement he aspires to lead, and the Democrats of the West and South would take the grea‘est pleasure | ery enemy of the people's interests that in running over him if he stands in the way. Neverthéless, the Post-Dispatch {s constrained to say that Grover Cleveland is the logical candidate of the gold stand- ard bolters. It is he that led them into the predicament they are now it was in order to impress authoritatively upon the country the fact that Cleve- landism is not Democracy that the “hi- cago convention was compelled to take the course that has wounded the feelings | of the bolters. Cleveland is the man. It would be a fitting end to his political career if he should be nominated for President the Assistant Republicans he has tried to thrust to the front of his party, and shouid fail—as he would fail—to carry | A single electoral vote. — © — ————— THE GAST FRANCHISE GRAB. If St. Louls is ever to be placed in position to secure revenues from the sale of valuable public franchises, such grid- fron ordinances as that introduced by Councilman Gast must be defeated. This is what may be called an omnibus franchise bill. it reach every part of the city not al- Wady covered, and are more than 150 miles in length. Such a sweeping measure is introduced now for the purpose of forestalling fut- ure action by the city in the line of demanding a larger percentage of annual receipts or of selling public franchises to the highest bidder. The men behind the Gast ordinance, whoever they may be, can conceal their identity better than their purpose. They realize that the present tendency of all great cities {s to force a more equitable division with the public of the enormous gains growing out of public grants. What they are pro- posing to do is to take advantage of what they believe to be present oppor- tunities to defeat, for more than a gen- eration to come, the demand of the peo- ple for fair compensation in return for valuable privileges. The Gast ordinance should be defeated, and so should every ordinance like it. Pn PUNOTURING LIES. Even in New York the cheap rant about the Chicago platform being anarchical and fostering lawlessness is giving place to the soberness of common sense. Hz-Congressman John De Witt War- ner is a gold standard Democrat and fa- vors a bolting ticket. But in a letter to Hon. Andrew D. White he punctures in an effective manner some of the mon- strous absurdities that haye deen put forth regarding the Democratic platform. He points out that the distrust of cor. porations, the protest against the power in politics of aggregated wealth, the de- mand for an income tax, the hostllity to centralized government, and the disap- proval of the substitution of the arbi- trary will of judges for the due process of law “are not symptoms of Anarchy, / wut of just discontent with dangerous Abuses.“ Im this connection Mr. Warner asks this pointed question: runs | people as are in its defense the willing aid of the whole people. Mr. Warner ig not in line with his party, but he is too honest and sensible a man to ally himself with a campaign of which reckless lying is the chief weapon, GOLD UP, PROPERTY DOWN. It ig estimated that during the last four years there has Been a decline in values which averages 10 per cent. That this is due to the attempt to force gold mon- ometallism on the world is shown by the fact that it is noticeable in England and in Continental Europé as well as in America, Great as it is, it has not yet reached its climax. The gold supply of the world ‘4s held in the war chests of Germany, France and Russia, and by private oper- ators and corporations in the United [States and England, but in the way of considerable amount of silver and silver certificates in circulation in the United States, where, in spite of all they have been able to do to discredit it, the silver dollar is still a legal tender for all debts, public and private, unless otherwise pro- vided by contract. They have succeeded in having gold recognized at the Treasury as the only standard of value, and in doing so they have forced down all values to the basis inevitably incident to the cornered gold supply. Now, if they can carry out the rest of their programme, gold will be still further appreciated, and all the property of the world, as well as the wages of the workers, will be depreciated. To put up the price of gold, held by a few thousand great operators, the real wealth of hundreds of millions of people will be forced down until they are robbed of from 10 to 50 per cent of what is rightfully theirs. Will St. Louis vote for such a folly? Will Missouri help in riveting such shackles on the real workers of the world? Will the people of America con- gent that such a crime against civili- zation, progress and libgrty should be perpetrated? THE FIGHT CONTINUED. In May, 1895, when the railroad lobby- — in, and by | The routes proposed in 22 | ber (R.), Tunnell (R.), Wurdeman (R.) —1s8. Against the Lobby: Ballard (O), Baskett | ists had rounded, up their ‘cattle’ in the Missouri Legislature and were evidently about to defeat the Fellow-servant bill, the Pést-Dispatch warned them that “no matter what national issue may be para- mount next year, a vital question that will come home to the interest and pride of the voters of Missouri will be whether the Lobby or the people shall control leg- Islatſion at Jefferson City.” The Post-Dispatch stated that the fight was but just begun. It published full lists of the men who betrayed the peo- ple’s interests in behalf of the railroad lobby, and it said that “the people will not be allowed to forget. News- paper files have long memories, and | printer’s ink is a potent reminder.” Now is the time to continue this fight. Now is the time to show these men that the people reward treachery with ob- livion. Now is the time to notify ev- he will get nothing more at the hands ‘of the people; that he must look to his masters, whom he has served, for his reward. the people who these railroad lobby mem- bers are, the Post-Dispatch reprints their names. In the House of Representatives Lobby against a Fellow-servant bill at the sessions of 1896, as follows: Atkins, Freeman, Hammond, Jones of Jackson, Leazenby, Moran, Porterfield, Sar- tin, Tartar, Warner, Jones of Polk, Le Favor, Pettijohn, Rohne, Sawyer, Tatum, Watson, Edgar, Gmelich, Gurney, Hart, Jones of Hickory, Moore of Stone, Spencer of St. Louis, Mueller, Sachse, Temme, Waymeyer, Speaker Rus- II. l And in the Senate, the following was the record: For the Lobby: Amelung (R.), Bledsoe (D.), Brewster (R.), Davisson (R.), Drum (D.), Goodykoontz (D.), Gray (R.), Harri- son (D), Lancaster (D.), Landrum (R.), Morton (D.), Orchard (D.), Peers (D.), Sea- D.), Busche (R.), Dunn (D.), Gash (D.).

LIFE TENURE A FAILURE. sular service of the United States on a life tenure basis was in the Senate some figures were produced showing the growth of the commercial interests of the United States im foreign countries, This growth was used, strangely enough, as an argu- ment for the necessity of life tenure in the Consular service. An opponent of the measure at once suggested that figures indicating con- stant progress under the present plan did not constitute an argument in favor of abandoning that plan, Systems of ad- ministration must be judged by their re- sults, and a consular system under which commerce grows greatly cannot be con- demned, no matter how loudly theorists may contend for a change, or insist that greater growth is possible. That argu- ment prevailed and the bill was de- feated. Since then the Cleveland Administra- tion, without warrant or authority of law. has attempted to institute life tenure in certain designated Consular places. A striking commentary upon this attempt is affordea by Germany, where the govern- ment is now taking steps to “reform the Consular service to bring it up to the present efficiency of that of the United States.” Germany has had life tenure for generations, but the complaint now made officially is that “the present serv- ig too bureaucrati 7 * to e ee eee, 8 hes 25 . “ | Can it be possible that the goldbug press is ashamed of its new friend and ally, Herr Most?

The Republican party ts the last party in the world that can afford to take the ground that the Federal Supreme Court is either ‘above censure or beyond criticism. We may agree or disagree, as we choose, with the opinions expressed by the Chicago plat- form concerning either of these decisions, but we cannot logically or consistently, as Republicans, deny the right of a national party convention to express its views in op- 1 position to and condemnation of those of the Supreme Court.

If Mr. Jourdan has added to his reputa- tion for egotism and bigotry the other qual- ity of a falsifier, the public will probably conclude that Grundy is about right if she is willing to join hands with anybody to defeat this parasite who is such a recent convert: to that financial doctrine that is now domi- nant in the State of Missouri, and on which he seeks to ride into office. If he were a gentleman instead of an ig- norant egotist, and desired to make any reference to Mr. B. M. Harber on account of his maliciousness toward him, he could at least have avoided a personal mention of the other delegates. These things show more than any action of Grundy County’s Democrats his utter ‘unfitness for the place he seeks. To let him know that Mr. Harber’s personal feelings | did not solely control Grundy County's ac- tion, we desire to inform Mr. Jourdan and the public that Grundy County Democrats have not forgotten his fighi upon and oppo- sition to Judge Burgess’ nomination for Su- preme Judge at the Springfleld convention in 1888, when he resided in the same dis- trict, and should have been willing to ac- cord him that support he now asks for him- self. * More than this, Grundy County Demo- crats have reason to believe, and do believe (and time will verify whether we are correct), that this same Morton Jourdan is now knif- ing other candidates from this Congression- al district in the hope and belief that he will thereby be aided in his own canvass. Grundy County prophesies (and time will also verify us in this) that Mr. Jourdan will not carry more than half the counties in this, his own Congressional district. In his vituperative assaults upon men not his supporters, he is paving the way to a complete verification of the adage that “whom the gods would destroy they firs make mad.“ If the fact that the Democrats of Mr. Harber’s home county, only a few days since in convention assembled, renewed their declarations of confidence in and es- teem for him, and their appreciation of his valuable political services, is grinding upon this mountebank, we know of no alternative but for him to “grin and bear it.” W.

From the Memphis Commercial Appeal. Those papers which denounce so vigorous- ly any alliance between the Populists and the Democrats this year are blissfully blind to the fact that there was a carefully planned tusion in five Western States be- tween the two parties, engineered by that able manipulator, Arthur Pue Gorman, in the interest of Grover Cleveland in 1892.

HIS PASSION FOR GAMBLING. GEORGE §TEMP MAKES PAUPERS OF HIS WIFE AND CHILD. RACE TRACK GOT EVERY CENT. After Gambling Away His Wife’s Money He Sold the Furniture Piece by Piece. A sad case of domestic trouble was brought to light Thursday when Mrs. Mary Stemp asked Col. Dick Johnson, Assistant Prosecuting Attorney, for a warrant against her husband for wife abandonment. Mrs. Stemp is an exceedingly pretty wo- man, a perfect blonde, 24 years old, with a pretty face and large blue eyes. In telling her story she shed tears, and it was with difficulty that she managed to recite the facts to the prosecutor. According to her story she married George Stemp in October, 1895. He was a hand- some young fellow, well connected, and had a nice position in the Neidringhaus’ Stamping Works, of which his uncle is one of the principal owners. Prior to her marriage with Stemp she had once before been married, and when her nus- band died he left her a neatly furnished home, some money in the bank, a life in- surance policy in her favor for $500 and retty baby girl. ot many months after her first hus- band’s death she met Stemp. He seemed at once to fall desperately in love with aer, and most ardently did he press his suit. He was successful in winning the love of the fair young wfdow, and last October they were married. They went to housekeeping in the cosily furnished rooms occupied by Mrs. Stemp at 2316 North Broadway, and for a few weeks happiness reigned supreme. Mrs. Stemp’s $500 insurance money was left in- tact, and her husband persuaded her to let him have it, on og plea that he had a safe investment for it. It was not long until Mrs. Stemp learned that he had taken her money to the South Side track and lost it on the races. While the money lasted he spent it with a lavish hand, and so neglected his work that his uncle discharged him. When the money was spent Stemp began taking the household furniture from the home and selling it 'to second-hand dealers in order to raise money to satisfy his pas- sion, for gambling. Hfs wife remonstrated and he resented her objections as unwarranted interferences with his rights. He grew more quarrelsome, and on July 8 he left his wife and home and has not returned. Stemp had not only spent all hie wife’s money, but had sold so much of the furniture that Mrs. Stemp has experienced much difficulty in selling the remainder for enough to buy food for her- self and child. Mrs Stemp says she has not seen her husband since he left home, but she thinks he is now living with his mother at 6842 Plateau avenue. Col. Johnson said he would issue the warrant. A Luxury.

TOPEKA, Kan., July 30.—Associate Jus- tice Brewer of the Supreme Court, who stopped over here on his way to Washington to take up the work of the Venezuelan Com- mission, of which he is chairman, said: J have just heard that the British sup- plement to the blue book has been submit- ted to Parliament. It will be waiting in Washington when I get back. I understand that this will complete the evidence to be submitted by the British Government. We received the last of the Venezuelan papers some time ago. The original blue bi »k sub- mitted by the Brtish Government was a large book of about 400 pages, and the sup- plement is im addition to that and contains a large amount of matter. We have experts searching the archives of the Old World for any information that will throw light on the controversy. Fred- erick R. Coudert has just sailed for Rome, where ‘he will make investigation there into reports.made by missionaries which have never been printed. The same thing was done in Holland, and we hope by that means to clear up the matter. Whatever action we take will not be final.

D., July 30.—The Populist plat- form indorsed the nominees of the National Populist party; declared for the free nad unlimited coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1; favored prohibition, union labor and woman suffrage. The main plank in the platform was that relative to railroad as- sessments. It criticises the present Re- publican Board of Equalization for reduc- ing the assessment of $2,500 per mile where the railroads had agreed to accept an as- sessment of $2,800 per rile. Aside from the question of free silver, the raflroad assess- ment question will be the leading one in the campsign. The fusion committee precipitated a three hours’ fight by the statement that they could not agree with the Democrats over who should head the ticket. Both sides wanted the governor. After nearly every del- egate had expressed himself on the subject, the committee was sent back for another conference and authorized to gamble for first choice, They were lucky, and reported so to the conference, and reported that they had chosen the offices of Governor, Secre- tary of State, Auditor, Commissioner of Agriculture, Kl ot the Supreme Court, three Presidential Electors and two of the three Railroad Commissioners. The Demo- crats were allotted Congressman, Lieu- tenant-Governor, Treasurer, Attorney- Gen- eral, Commissioner of Insurance, Superin- tendent of Public Instruction and one Rail- road Commissioner.

Two colored women complained to Jailer Wagner Thursday that every day for a week they have each handed to the jail guards 10 cents to allow their boys, who are prisoners, the freedom of the bull pen. Jailer Wagner immediately began an in- vestigation and learned enough to satisfy himself that his guards are extortIng money from every person who will give up. A week ago Friday Willie Jackson, col- ored, 8 years old, and Ed Newton, col- ored, 12 years old, were locked in separate cells in the jail, charged with having stolen a lot of lead pipe from a new building on Washington avenue. Mrs. Jackson and Mrs. Melissa Newton live in the same house at 1106 Lucas ave- nue and Saturday they both went to the jail to visit their boys. They were told they would have to each pay 10 cents, so that the boys could have the use of the big bull pen or the young prisoners would be confined in their celis 3 . ds th h eac ay the mothers visited th and each handed the outside guard 10 5 for their boys; Ed Max, the outside guard, took the money, and the mothers left with. ont a 4 2 . nvestigation by a Post- atch r ' shows that if a prisoner — to 1 leased from a gelt he has only to request @ guard to let him out long enough to get a shave or a hair cut.

That.is, you couldn't help admire the steady, gushing flow Of that young maiden’s grammar, if you really didn’t know The difference twixt good and bad, for Bes- sie was so young, She hadn’t found the proper words to fit her ready tongue. In consequence she often used two “noes” where one would do, And seen“ she often said for aw.“ on her gre Tne habit Until she knifed her native tongue in man- ner sad to Séc. Se “idn’t khow the rules of grammar from the rule of three. She ne’er had studied classic books nor heard of classic men, Who wielded in a classic style a smooth and classic pen. She ne’er had heard of Venus, though she was a “beaut” herself Nor yet of young Adonis, who annoyed that foxey elf. Now, Bessie J., as maidens will, adored a nice young man, Wno lived here in St. Louis on the European plan But bein “shy” on grammar, she was deathly skeered to write, And so she got another girl her letters to indite. Oh, lovely maiden! lovely scheme! It worked just like a charm, Until one day the lady fell and broke her dexter arm. Oh, where was charming Bessie then and her delightful coup? Bent whirling in the consomme, at one fell swoop! Hd nice young man kept waiting, but he didn’t get a line. He couldn’t slee Oh! had the mai till morning, for he soon commenced to pine. miscarried?

It’s very good—! hold them in very high regard. They were recommended to me by a young man in Leland Miller's drug store. I have been annoyed considerably with blackheads and tried many kinds of toflet soaps and lotions to remove them, but wasn’t very successful. Then I began to lose my appetite, and finally got so that at mealtime the very sight of food almost produced a feelirig of nausea. I went to see a physician, and he said | was suffering very badly from a poor digestion and. that that was the cause of the blackheads. He prescribed for me, but I got tired taking his nasty medicines and, besides, | don’t think it did me much good. One day | was in Leland Miller’s and asked the clerk if he knew anything good for \indigestion; he said: ‘Try Ripans Tabules.’ I did, and after using them for some time—it’s no trouble to take them I was greatly improved. My appetite came back and the unsightly facial disfigurement that annoyed me 80 much has entirely disappeared.”’ One Gives Relief. u „ — ate by rundes. 2 17 @ price cents a box) is sent t 717 CHESTNUT ST.

Goodman Aspires to ' Go to Congress. ~-Leouts D. Goodman, nominee of the Peo- ple’s Party dor Congress in the Twelfth con- gressional district, thinks that in view of the fact that his party and the Dem- ocratic party are united on many import- ant national issues, there should be no fight between the two parties for seats in Congress. Mr. Goodman has issued a circular ad- @ress to the chairman of the Democratic ongressiona] Committee of the Twelfth Justriot, in which he says: “In view of the nomingtion of Wm. J. Bry- an for President, by the People’s Party and the desire thereby expressed to have the Democratic and People’s parties cooperate @o far as it is necessary to elect to Congress men whose opinions square with the opin- fons of Mr. Bryan on the silver question; and as there is a lingering suspicion in the minds of Populists and voters in general that the Democrats are insincere, I hereby notify you that I am the nominee of the People’s Party for Congress in the Twelfth 10 District, and request t ae in as much as my brats ween on the silver question—as shown e People’s Party National Platform and =. allegiance thereto—is all that can be desired by Democrats or Populists, that no momination for Congress be made by the Democrats of the Twelfth District, as such action on their part esson the ‘chances of a silver man in safd district.” The DAYLIGHT SPECIAL of the ILLI- ‘(OIs CENTRAL ROUTH will leave St. Huis at 8:32 a, m., arriving at Chicago at „p. m.

The City Council held a meeting Wednes- day night for the purpose of advancing the municipal legislation to a point where it will be possible to take a vacation fh a week or two. The Keyes conduit bill was discussed at some length, not upon the merits of the measure itself, but upon the chances of its being passed before the summer adjourn-~ ment. Mr. Clark moved to postpone all consi@- ; eration of it until next Tuesday. To this Mr. Nagel objected on the ground that the measure should get to the House of Delegates as soon as possible. Mr. Clark’s motion, however, prevailed, and the mat- ter was passed until Tuesday. The Sutter bill, looking to a readjustment ' of the affairs the National Subway Com- pany, was reported by the committee with- out any recommendation, and no action was taken.
