There Is a Room in the Rear of the Store Where the Fiends Sleep After Taking the Drug. —_— A few days ago a young man went into the store of the Boston Drug Co., at Twelfth street and Franklin avenue, and applied for a situation. He told the proprietor that he was anx- fous to get work in a drug store, in order that he might become familiar with the business, as he is studying medicine. The young man was not particular as to what he did, as long as it was honest, and when the man in charge of the store offered him a place as porter, the applicant gladly accepted. The name of the young man is George Paine, son of United States Pension Ex- aminer L. E. Paine, who has an office in the Custom-house on Third street, and re- sides at 2500 University street. The young man stayed in the drug store just twelve hours, and during that time witnessed a condition of affairs so dis- gustingly depraved that he threw up his iob in indignation. Paine showed up at the store the morning following his employment, ready for the day’s work. @fhe night clerk was still on duty and the new comer fell to talking with him. Being green at the business he was a little modest as to his abilities to do much for his employer's advantage at first, and he confided this modest opinion of himself to the night clerk. “That won't make any difference,” replied this worthy. “All you've got to know is how to put cocaine into 6-cent packages.”’ This seemed rather strange for a phar- macy with a big sign out in front and rows upon rows of bottles upon the shelves, but Paine 414 not say much. He thought he would wait and see what it all meant. Before long he began to find out. The day clerk came in and the night clerk went away. Then the proprietor came. He is a litthk black-eyed man with a hooked nose. One of the oe bg circumstances to strike the new rter’s attention was that ‘most of the customers were women, and they were not stopping at the soda foun- tain. They all came in as though they had been there before. Most of them were low, degraded creatures, who live a life of shame and crime in the squalid quarters lying just to the east. Many were colored. All acted very much alike. Hardly a word would be spoken. As each one entered she would hold up sometimes one, some- times two fingers in a mysterious sort of Way. “Rolled?” the obliging day clerk would ask, elevating his eyebrows. Usually the answer was yes, and then the clerk would dive into a little tin box and Graw out a tiny package or two as the \ The Boston Drug Co. is situated on the ——S porter. He wondered what it all meant. Finally he mustered up courage enough to ask the clerk about it. The fellow laughed, but made no secret of *. He told Paine that these customers were all cocaine fiends, and came there for the drug that was dearer to them than life. The back room was where they went to take it, effects: The young man remained through the whole day, watching this procession of female fiends as they fiitted in for their cocaine. Most of them went into the mys- terious back room, but they never came back. Paine could not understand this. Visions of a chamber of Blue Beard arose before his eyes, and he determined to solve the mystery of this secret chamber before the day was done. After awhile he had a chance. He had occasion to go into the back yard for some- thing. The secret door was the only pass- age, The clerk unlocked it for him, and he slipped into a darkened room, around which were seated or lying a half dozen female figures. It was so dark he could not recognize them, but he knew they were the fiends who had been purchasing the cocaine in the store during the day. Some of the women were crooning the low songs of the brothel. Others lay back in silence, happy in the half hour of bliss they had stolen from their lives of utter degradation, unmindful of the awakening which must inevitably follow. There was a foul odor in the place, and young Paine hurried through it. The exit into the back yard was closed, but throwing down the iron bar which ran across the door, he slipped out into the light. Then he saw how the women escaped without coming through ¢he drug store. It might be inconvenient to have the drug- crazed creatures coming out through the store, singing and dancing in the plain view of all the pedestrians on Franklin avenue, so the shrewd proprietor devised a plan for getting rid of them without annoyance. The back yard has a gate leading out onto Twelfth street by the corner of the alley. It opens only from the inside. When one of the women is satiated with the drug she throws down the bar of the door to the darkened room, passes into the yard and then out the gate, closing it be- hind her. . No one can get ith except by way of thé drug store and the purchase of cocaine. Paine saw enough of this back room to decide him on his course. He would not work in such a place. He finished out the day, however, and left that night, never to go back. He told several of his acquaintances of his remarkable experiences, and information as to the den’s character came to the Post- Dispatch. This expose is the result of information thus learned and the investiga- tion by Post-Dispatch reporters. southeast corner of Twelfth Franklin avenue. Its proprietor is Lewis Silverstone.

Around this one supreme issue the great battle of 1896 is to be fought. For the first time it has been fairly presented, without evasion or disguise. Both parties have tak- en position boldly. Both are confident and defiant. Between them the American people are the arbitrators, and as such they are now to pass a judgment upon the most im- portant question presented to them since the storm of civil war wrecked happy homes and left its bloody trail upon the land.” They are to pass judgment upon a question which I profoundly believe affects, as no other question can, not only the pres- ent happiness and prosperity of the people, but the felicity of their children, the per- petuity of American institutions and the well being of all mankind.

This man is our leader. Under his banner and guided by his wisdom, we will go forth to conquer. Let us rally every- where, on the hilltops and in the valleys, and strike for homes and loved ones and our native land. I have no doubt of victory. It is as sure to come as the rising of the jsun. And it will come up like a sunburst, scattering the mists, and the nation, ex- ultant and happy, will leap forward like a giant refreshed to that high destiny it was designed to accomplish. This man will be President. His administration will be a shining epoch in our history, for he will leave behind him a name made illustrious by great achievements and by deeds that will embalm him forever in the hearts and memory of his countrymen. Mr. Bryan, I esteem it a great honor, as it is most certainly a pleasure, to be made the instrument of informing you, as I now do, that you were nominated for the office |of President of the United States by the ' Democratic National Convention which asseinbled in July last. I hand you this formal notice of your nomination, accom- panied by a copy of the platform ;} adopted by the convention, and upon that | platform I have the honor to request your nomination tendered. are the candidate of the Democratic $ but you are more than that—you are the candidate of all the people without re- gard to party, who believe in the purposes your election is intended to accomplish. This battle must be fought upon ground high above the level of partisanship. I hope to see you unfurl the flag in the name of America and American manhood. In saying this, I but repeat the expressed wish of the convention which nominate’! you. Do this and though you will not have millions of money at your command, you will have millions of sturdy Americans at your back. Lead on, and we will follow. Who will not follow here is unworthy to lead in any cause. Lead on with unfaltering step and may God’s blessing attend you and his omnipotent hand crown you with success. Gov.

You were selected y no clique, nor were you chosen as the — of any questionable combination. ; ose Who nominated you were law abiding, | oterenened and honest -representatives of ex countrymen, and preferred you be- cause of your exalted integrity, patriotism and ability. You are ripe in experience and, judgment, in the prime of manhood and en- joy the mental and physical characteristics arene to the great work which you have een required to undertake. You have been tried in public Station. You have always done your entire’ duty. ,,_ While you are’ Demoerat and have, dur- ing your political’career, been an ardent ad- vocate of Democratic principles, you aré now the official’ hea@ of an “organization comprising not 6nly those who have hith- erto been Demograts, but algo including triotic Americans who have abangoned their former partisan associations, finding in our platform and candidate a policy and lead- ership adequate to save the republic from impending dangers. Your conduct has been such that you can in this crisis, without doing violence to any opinions heretofore expressed, advocate the interests of the people. The profdund sat- isfaction which we experience at your can- d:dacy is of minor importance when com- pared with the knowlkige that your elec- tion stands for the maintenance of an hon- est government administered for the benefit of all and controlled only by intelligence conscientiously directed. The conflict now upon us has for years been foreshadowed. Its importance cannot be questioned. The prevalence within party lines of vitally divergent views, especially upon financial issues, has long been appar- ent. The vain hope has been indulged that fortuitous circumstances would develop con- ditions rendering definite action unneéces- sary. Unmeaning platforms, words sus- ceptible of interpretation, according to the preferences of the sneaker or the auditor, have been employed by the political parties of the United States. Supposed expediency has prevented the use of plain, positive language until polit- ical duplicity has excited universal distrust. In this campaign the Republican party pledges its adherence to the gold standard and commits the destiny of the United States to the keeping of foréign financial concerns and their agents here, and rests confidently in the belief that the sordid gelf- ishness by which it is controlled cannot be overcome. Its platform admits the evils of a gold standard, but confesses the party’s inability to afford relief and announces su- pine submission to a policy which it pre- tends to determine. Courage is more than a reminiscence. The Democratic party declines the unmanly suggestion that the people of the United States cannot es@ape oppression save at the will of the oppressors. Its declaration of principles not only evinces faith in the bimetallism of the Constitution, but pro- claims that this Government is competent to declare and maintain its own policy with- out reference to the caprices or wishes of any other power. It denounces as un-Ameri- can the theory that we are not independ- ent in matters financial, and contends that there cannot be any freedom here if fiscal policies are to bé@ dictated from abread. To doubt your electinn is to deny the manhood of our electors. To- concede that the pro- ducers of the United States, those who toll, those who add to the wealth of the land, will vote to perpetuate alien dominancy, is to assume, in the face of conclusive proof to the contrary, our degradation. We are convinced that victory awaits the people and their just cause, and assure you of the earnest support of an overwhelming majority of United States fellow-citizens. MR. BRYAN’S ADDRESS. An Able Presentation of Democratic Principles. Mr. Danforth then introduced Mr. Bryan to the audience. The Democratic candidate was greeted with prolonged applause, which was continued during his address as he made telling points. He spoke as follows: Mr. Chairman, Gentlemen of the Com- mittee and Fellow-Citizens—I shall, at a fut- ure day and in a formal letter, accept the nomination which is now tendered by the Notification Committee, and I shall at that time touch upon the issues presented by the platform. It is fitting, however, that at this time, in the presence of those here assem- bled, I speak at some length in regard to the campaign upon which we are now en- i tering.

Abraham Lincoln, in his message sent to Congress in December, 1861, said: “No men living are more worthy to be trusted than those who toil up from pov- erty, none less inclined to take or touch aught which they have not honestly earned.”’ I repeat the language with unqualified approval and join with him in the warning which he added, mame: ‘Let them beware of surrendering a po- litical power, which they already possess and which, if surrendered, will surely be used fo close the doors of advancement against such as. they, and to fix new disa- bilities and burdens upon them, till all of liberty shall be lost.” Those who daily follow the injunction, ‘In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread,” ‘are now, as they ever have been, the bulwark of law and order, the source of our nation’s greatness in time of peace and its surest defenders in time of war. But I have only read a part of Jackson's utterance. Let me give you his conclusion: “But when the laws undertake to add to those natural and just advantages artificial distinctions, to erpat titles, gratuities and exclusive privilege’, to make the rich rich- er and the potent more powerful, the hum- ble members of society, the farmers, me- chanics and the day laborers, who have neither the time nor the means of securing like favors for themselves, have a right to complain of the injustice of thelr gov- ernment.’’ Those who support the Chicago platform indorse all of the quotations from Jackson— the latter part as well as the former part. We are not surprised to find arrayed against us those who are beneficiaries of Government favoritism—they have read our platform. Nor are we surprised to learn that we must in this campaign face the hostility of those who find a pecuniary ad- vantage in advocating. the doctrine of non- interference when great aggregations of wealth are trespassing upon the rights of individuals. We welcome such opposition— it is the highest indorsement which could be bestowed upon us. We are not content to have the co-opera- tion of those who desire to have the Gov- ernment administered without fear or fa- vor. It is not the wish of the general public that trusts should spring into existence and override the weaker members of soctety; it is not the wish of the general public that these trusts should destroy competition and then collect such tax as they will from those whe are at their Of our entire line of Shirt Job lot of Ladies SPECIAL REDUCTION SALE FRIDAY AND SATURDAY Waists, Separate Skirts and * Cotton Night Dresses, 40¢ to 75c . * a » s Will close out FRIDAY AND SATURDAY lots left over from thy nary SILKS and WOOL DRESS GOO ee ——— ee — law now npen the sta ———— books in any land, tute so far as have been able to ascer contkins an exemption clause.

In a Govern- ment Hke ours every public official is @ public servant, whether he holds office by election or appointment, whether he serves for a term of years or during good behavior, and the people have a right to criticise his official acts. : “Confidenee ig everywhere the parent of despotism; free government exists in jeal- ousy and not in confidence.” These are the words of Thomas Jefferson, and I submit that they present a truer conception of pop- ular government than that entertained by those who would prohibit an unfavorable comment upon a coun decision. Truth will vindicate itself; only error fears free speech. No public official who conscientiously discharges his duty as he gees it will desire to deny to those whom he corves the right to discuss his official con- uct. Now let me ask you to consider the para- mount .question of this campaign—the money question. It is scarcely necessary to defend the principles of bimetallism. No na- tional party during the entire history of the United States has ever d against it, and no party in this campaign has had ene temerity to oppose it. hree parties, t Democrats, .the Populists and the ver party. not only declared for bimetallism, but have outlined the specific legislation neces- Sary to restore silver to its ancient position by the side of gold... The Repybiican plat- form expressly declares that bimetailism Is desirable when it pledges the Republican party to aid in securing it as soon ag the assistance of certain foreign nations can obtained. Those who represented the minority sentiment in the Chicago Conven- tion opposed the free coinage of silver by the United States by independent action on the Freund that, in their judgment, it ‘“‘would retard or entirely prevent the es lishment of international bimetallism, to which the efforts of the Government should be steadily directed,”’ When they asserted that the efforts o the Government should be stéa direc toward the establishment of internationa bimetallism, they cond@mned monometal- lism. The gold standard has in the balance and found wanting. from it the powerful support of the mone owning and money changing classes, it cannot stand for one day in any nation in the world. It was fastened upon the United States without discussion before the people, and its friends have never 7 been willing to risk a verdict before voters upon that issue. There can be no sympathy or co-operation between the advocates of a universal =_ standard and the advocates of bimetallism, Between bimetallism—whether independent or international—and the gold stan there is an impassable gulf. Is this quadren- nial agitation in favor of international Di- metallism conducted in good faith, or do our opponents really desire te maintain the gold standard permanently? Are they willi to confess the supertority of a double standard when joined by the leading nations of the world, or do they still insist that gold is the only metal suitable for standard money among civilized nations? If they are, Mm fact, desirous of securing bimetallism, we may expect them to point out the evils ofa gold standard and defend bimetallism as a system. If, on the other hand, they are bending their energies toward the permanent es- tablishment of a gold standard under cover of a declaration in favor of international! bi- metallism, I am justified in suggesting that honest money cannot be expected at the hands of those who deal dishonestly with the American people. ' What is the test of honesty in money? It must certainly be found in the purchas power of the dollar. An absolutely hones dollar would not vary in its general pur-+ chasing power; it would be absolutely sta- ble when measured by average prices. A dollar which increases in Surcnasng power is just as dishonest as a dollar which de- creases in purchasing power. Prof. Laugh- lin, now of the University of Chicago and one of the highest gold standard authori- ties, in his work on bimetallism not only admits thet gold does not remain abso- lutely stable in value, but expressly as- serts “that there is no such thing @s @ standard value for éuture payments, either in gold or silver, which remains absolutely invariable.”’ He even gusgests saat . ae ~~. wherein un s ba upon the f articles in tallism or bimetallism, or any © ee ty gives an ote aaeat just ted coi power of the dol he number of d better than monome Sites pdt 8 cot unvarying purchasing power—but @ nearer approach to , to justice than a possi can.

Besides this imme- such a change in the ratio would permanently decrease the annual ad- dition to the world’s supply of money, be- cause the annual silver product when coined into dollars twice as large would make only half as many dollars.

Stone, delegated by the Notification Committee to deliver the address, Mr. Bryan deliv- ered what is, in many respects, the most remarkable effort of its kind in the his- tory of American politics, Certainly none of our later candidates for the Presidency have, in accepting nomination to that Breat office, given such wide and com- prehensive treatment to public questions. Usually it has been considered only nec- essary to indicate, in a general way, \ acceptance of the party principle and doc- trine as enunciated in the party platform. Often this has been done in a most /per- functory way, as, for instance, by Mr. Cleveland four years ago when he con- centrated himself upon the tariff declara- tion, letting everything else go by de- fault. This year the coinage question is to Overshadow all others in point of inte>- est and importance. Mr. Bryan has so regarded and so treated it, and, so re- garding and treating it, he has discussed it, not on general but specific lines. The labor of the student and investigator and the quality of an analytical mind are seen in every line in which the question is looked at and illuminated from every Possible point of view. It would be im- possible for any man to study any ques- tion so deeply as Mr. (‘ryan has evidently Studied this of the colmage, and then hold and express a view opposed to the one to which conscientious research had led him. The student and orator is the ' @ntidote to the political poison of the “financier” in government. The defense of the income tax as con- Stitutional and equitable was masterly tm both argument ana eloquence, The Candidate refuses to acknowledge the ®acredness of any human public inst'!tu- tion under a popular government.

| iyo f LAKE SHORE TRAIN LEAVES THE TRACK IN INDIANA. ENGINEER AND FIREMAN DIE. The Passengers on the Day Cvach and Sleeper Had a Very Nar- m row Escape. OTIS, Ind., Aug. 13.—A bad wreck occ urred on the Lake Shore road at 4 o'clock this morning, one-half mile east of this point. The east-bound special mail train from Chi- cago, consisting of an engine, two postal cars, baggage car, one day coach and a Wagener sleeper, ran into a washout seventy feet long and thirty feet deep. The entire train, with the exception of the day coach and the sleeper, plunged into the big hole and Engineer James Griffin and Fireman Michael Roach were almost instantly killed. The day coach partially toppled over into the abyss, but one end remained on the track, being held by the coupling to the sleeper, which did not leave the rails. The ngers in the day coach escaped by simply going through the sleeper, and none of them received injuries. The mail clerks and trainmen also escaped injury. A cloudburst and an immense flood of wa- ter caused the washout and scooped out the eat hole in the earth at a culvert directly Seneath the tracks. Engineer Griffin evidently had no warning of the washout whatever, as he inquired a few moments before, he died what caused the wreck. Both of the unfortunate engi- neer’s legs were completely severed from is bodv. wth Lake Shore trains are being sent via Michigan City and Chesterton, and thence over the Michigan Central tracks, so that the delay to traffic will not be great. The Monon road has an 80-foot washout a mile south of this place, and a mill dam on the north side of the road has just burst, and it looks as if the Monon bridge on the north side will go down. YAQUI INDIAN UPRISING. Seven Fanatics Slain in an Attack on Nogales, Mexico. NOGALBDS, Ariz., Aug. 13.—Early yester- day morning the citizens of Nogales on both sides of the internktional line were aroused from their sleep by a fusilade of shots. Rushing to ascertain the cause, they found that 75 Yaqui and Temochie Indians had made an attack on Nogales, Sonora, for the purpose of securing arms and money to aid in the overthrow of the Mexican Gov- ernment in the interest of San Teresa De Cabora. As a result of the attack seven Indians are dead, two badly wounded, who will die, and one is a prisonerj Two Cela- dores (Mexican custom guards), Francisco Fernandez and Manuel Delehanty, are dead, another, Jose Pena, is mortally wounded, and Crescendo Urbino, keeper of a fruit stand, is dead. Intense excitement ‘pre- vails on obth sides of the line, and busi- ness is almost at a standstill. The dead guards were brave, efficient officers. The seven bandits are lying dead in the jail yard, A posse was organized to follow the escaping revolutionists. A courier later returned from the moun- tains bringing word of an encounter in the hills with the Indians. Poncirano San- chez, Chief of Police of Nogales, Sonora; Juan Fernandez and two Mexican guards were killed, making seven citizens and eight Yaqu'is so far dead. At 5 o'clock a posse returned bringing the bodies of Sanchez and Juan Fernandez. A special train came at 6 o’clock from Magda- lena, bringing © gendarmes, who left at once on the trail, as signal fires are seen burning on the hills six miles away, prov- ing that the insurgents are meditating an attack. A troop of United States cavalry is en route from Fort Huachuca, and four com- panies of infantry from the same place will arrive at 10 o'clock. Citizens from both sides of the line are guarding the town. he insurrectionists seem to be crazy on account of the worship of Santa Teresa Cabora. On the body of a leader was found the picture of the Saint and half a dozen copies of El Independente, published at BP!

LID: ———— i DR. KOSSUTH MORGNER’S WIFE WANTS HER ARRESTED. HYPNOTIZED THE DOCTOR. A Curious Transaction in Spiritualism and Zine Mines and Chouteau ¢ Avenue Real Estate, A story of intrigue and cupidity on the part ef a women and @ man’s duplicity and helplessness under the subtle, mesmeric influence of that woman is brought to light by the application of Mrs. Dr, Kossuth Morgner for a warrant against Mrs. Stella Truenell. The transaction involves quite a large gum ef money and the deal takes in valu- able zinc mines near Joplin, Mo., and a row of eubstantial two-story brick houses on Chouteau avenue, Mrs. Truenell claimed to own the mining property and Dr. Kossuth Morgner was supposed to be the owner of the property on Chouteau avenue. It turns out that Dr. Morgner was only the agent of the property and the real owner of it was his wife, who was a Mrs. Flannella. In May last Mrs. Truenel] met Dr. Morg- ner in Kansas City, from which place she was advertising certain zinc mines for sale or for exchange for other property, The meeting between Dr. Morgner and Mrs. Truenell was unfortunate for the doctor. From the moment he saw her he fell a victim to her charms. There was a latent affinity between them and she lost no time in arousing it. Mrs. Truenell, it ig said, is a spiritualist and a fortune teller, and Dr. Morgner has long nad faith in the whisperings of phantoms, and devoutly be- lieves in the language of the stars. Dr. Mergner wished to become the pos- sessor of paying zinc mines, and Mrs. True- nell had them to sell, especially for desira- ble city property. She and the doctor went te Joplin and looked. at the mines. They were the Bull Run and Blendville, both good producers. Dr. Morgner said he owned Il lots in Longview, a station six miles out on the Frisco road from St. Louis. Mrs. Truenell valued her mines at $15,000, and the doctor offered to give her the ll lots for them. as a “4 sy Saas + el ._- “ ee ——- _ Me ane Of Gostly lace.

SEWALL NOTIFIED. His Short and Forceful, Speech in Re- ' gponse. The chunirman then introduced the vice- presidential nominee, Arthur Sewall, and Gov. Stone presented him with the formal nomination document, which reads: Arthur Sewall of Maine: , You were nominated by the National Democratic Convention which assembled in Chicago on July 7, for Vice-President of the United States, and the Notification Committee pointed by the convention is here to apprise you of such nomination. The honor was conferred upon you, not merely in acknowledgment of admitted per- sonal worth, but beeause you also po-sess in a marked degree the specific qualities esential to the proper discharge of responsi- bilities which you will be called to assume. In this season of candid expression, of un- equivocal avowal, no more appropriate cheice could have been made. Your sym- pathy with the principles announced in our platform is not of recent date. You have proven your 94 4 to Demecracy under trying conditions. Residing in a commun- ity intensely Republican, with no hope of political preferment, and asking no favors from an adverse dominant majority, you have loyally sustained your position and have never hesitated to preach the doc- trines of a faithful Democrat. Upon the ap- proaching financial issue you have been sound when the hour of triumph seemed re- mote and when arrogant money changers throughout the world boasted that the con- quest of the American masses was com- piete. In thus informing you of the convention's action, we take occasion to assure you that we do not doubt that you will in public station utilize your abilities and energies in the effective and upright manner which — attended their exertion in private sta- on, Mr. Sewall was heartily cheered. He said; Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Con- matyiae: at ou have given me official notice of selection by the Democratic Nationa] Com. base of our monetary structure, that it is unstable and unsafe; and so dwarfed it in its development, and in its power to furnish the necessary financial blood to the nation, that commercial and indystrial paralysis has followed. We believe that we need and must have the broad and expanding foundation of both gold and silver to support a monetary System, strong and stable, capable of meet- ing the demands of a growing country and an industrious, energetic and enterprising! people, a system that will naj be weakened and panic-stricken by every foreign draft upon us, a system that will maintain a par- ity of just values and the nation’s money and protect us from the frequent fluctua- tions of to-day, so disastrous to every busi- ness and industry of the land. We demand the free coinage of silver, the opening of our mints to both money metals without discrimination, the return to the money of our fathers, the money of the Constitution, gold and silver. We believe this is the remedy, and the only remedy, for the evil from which we are suffering: the evil that is now so fast devastating and im- povishering our land and people, bringing poverty to our PS a and bankruptcy to our business, which, if allowed to continue, will grow until our very institutions are threatened. The demonetization of silyer has thrown the whole primary money function on gold, appreciating its value and purchasing pow- er. Restore the money function to silver. and silver will appreciate, and its purchas.- ing power increase. Take from gold its monopoly, its value will be reduced, and in due course the parity of the two metals will again obtain under natural causes. We shall then have a broad and unlimited foundation for the monetary system, com- mensurate with our country’s needs and future development, not the unsafe basis of to-day reduced by half by the removal of silver and continually undermined by foreigners carrying from us our gold. This is the reform to which we are pledged, the reform the people demand, the return to the monetary system of over eighty years of our national existence. The Democratic party has always given its ap- proval and its pledge. Our opponents ad- mit the wisdom of the principle for which we contend, but ask us to await permission and co-operation of other nations. Our peo- ple will not wait. They will not ask per- mission of any nation on earth to relieve hemselves of the cause of their distress. he issue has been made. he people tand ready to render their verdict next ovem ber. a > sa re ee te.

A SECOND SPEECH. Mr, Bryan Addressed an Open-Alr | Meeting in Union Square. In Union Square, facing the Bartholdi Hotel, occurred just after the adjournment of the meeting at Madison Square Garden a scene that outdid in excitement those that took place in the hall. The crowd of theus- ands of people who had been excluded from the hall were still there when the candidate emerged, and in an instant there began a mad rush for places of vantage, it hayin become known that Mr. Bryan would s from the hotel balicony. When Mr. Bryan stepped upon the bal- cony there wasaroarof applause from thou- sands of throats. When he secured order, he said, in a firm, clear voice: “Fellow Citizens—I cannot do more than to express to those who are assembled here our deep appreciation of the interest which the people of New York are taking in the campaign which is now formally opened, (Great applause and cheers.) When I left home I told the people at the depot that I was coming to open the campaign in what was thought to be the heart of the enemy's country (applause and cries of “Oh, no,’”), but which I hoped before the campelgn was over would be our country. (Cheers and loud applause.) Our hopes have been real- ized sooner than we expected (enthusiastic applause), and wherever the enemy goes af- ter this he will be in our country, no matter where he is. (Tremendous applause and long continued cheering.) ‘‘Some of your financiers have boasted that they were in favor of gold, but you shall teach them that th must carry their ideas far enough to believe not in gold but in the golden rule that treats all men alike. (Great aplause.) I commission you all as soldiers, to fight, and as missionaries, to preach, wherever you go from now until election. (Cries of ‘We will, we will,” and great applause.) Our opponents in the Democratic party have been threatening to organize a gold standard Democratic party (hisses), but we are not afraid. You will search the pages of history in vain te find a battle ever won by any army of Generals. (Great applause and laughter.) “They have not a private in their whole ranks. (Laughters and cheers.) Now, my friends, I want you to set for your oppo- nents an example which they have not set for you. They have said that they repre- sent the respectable element of society. ‘*‘Teach them that respectability carmot be manifested by slandering every man who differs from them in phareane (Applause). And now, my friends, I leave with you just one injunction: In this Government every citizen is a sovereign (applause), and those upon whom the responsibilities of citizen¢ ship rest, owe it to themselves, to the'r country, and their God, to exereise the right of suffrage for the benefit of their country. (Great applause.) I beg you to do it, not only to investigate, but find out what is right, and I beg you every one to have the courage to vote your sentiments, and let your ballot register a freeman’s will. I thank you for your kind attention.” (Tremendous applaus@qand long-continued chonring-t, i r, St, John and Mr, Sewall spoke briefiy, and then the immense crowd. dispersed , j if "7 ij : ih h | j ht My ' | / | EY phys it j!

Belleville Salvationists Were Hooted and Jeered At, but Not Assault- ' ed by the Hoodlums. A large crowd of people gathered on the public square at Belleville, Wednesday evening, in exceptation of a renewal of the rioting of the eyening before, but they were disappointed, At 8 o'clock the fire and blood soldiers left their hall and marched west on First street to Spring and then up to Main and back toward the square. The column veered over toward the court-house with the apparent intention of stopping and the erowd surged after them, but no nop was made, and they réturned to their hall, fol- lowed by a nooulng, jeering crowd of several hundred men and boys, but no violence was offered them. @hief of Police Obst went to see Capt Anderson Wednesday morning and re- uested him to call at the Mayor’s office. e did so immediately and there was a lengthy conference, the efforts of the Mayor pe Cc Obst being directed coercing the captain into a surrender of his lega} rights oauar the guise of a concession. e@ was urged to make propositions to the authori- ties, but as the only propositions they would entertain oh ap a vital surrender, he ned to make any, ome Mayor then suggested that only two meetings a week be held on the public square, the rest at other places in the city, and the Captain said he would telegraph his superiors for advice. isely what is sought to be aceom- by this is not clear.

She went into the drug store, spoke “For cocaine.” to Silverstone, and emerged a moment “For cocaine? How?" “Why, we uss it for anything.” “But you said for cocaine? Do you store cocaine in there?’ “No, use it for everything.”’ “How about cocaine? You know what you said."’ Silverstone got angry. “Certainly we use it for cocaine. If any- body wants to use cocaine, I send them in there.” The cat was now out of the bag and 8il- verstone made a cold bluff. “Yes, I sell cocaine here,” he said. “All Grug stores in the city do—every one of them.

Her appearance and the place she entered were noted for future use, and then the re- porters moved on to further pursue the investigation of the drug store and its strange line of trade. After the inspection of the drug store had been made and Silverstone had said all he had to say, a tour was made of the low and degraded houses, occupied by white and hegro women, which abound in the district. rooms occupied by three and four of the most degraded of white women might as well have had no doors at all. These places were entered for the purpose of finding an unfortunate who would tell her experience with the drug, but without very Satisfact- ory results. Each and every woman stoutly denied ever having used it, she knew ev- erybody pretty near did use it, but she was ers much of a lady to resort to any such de- vices. The woman with the bad nose was found hanging out of a window with a couple of others of her kind and questioned. “Didnt’ you go to the drug store a mom- ent ago to get some co@aine?’’ “To get some what?” she replied, well-feigned surprise. “Some cocaine.” “I never saw the stuff In my Nfe."’ “What did you go there for?” She hesitated a moment and then blurted out. “Stamps.” “Where are the stamps?’ Again she was at a loss for a moment asd then replied: “They were all out of them.” “But @ woman came in right after you and got a dime’s worth.” This rattled the woman for an instant, but for an instant only, when she said: “I Geclare I never used a bit of cocaine in my life, I know lots of these women around here do use it, but I hope I may die if I ever took @ bit of the stuff in my life.” There was something about the woman and her appearance which did not foster the desire to become intimately acquainted with her, 2o she was given up as a hope- less case.

She refused to discuss the cocaine question from any side and insisted upon “Ie there much of this stuff used here- | being furnished with the beer and whisky _which her system craved.

They would willing- woman iy get as drunk as liquor could make them, but they scorned the cocaine route as some- thing akin to magic or the black art.

I told him that I was desirous of getting some practice in the filling of pres- criptions before I went to college, and he said, with a smile, that all I need know there was how to pack cocaine in 5-cent packages. This aroused my suspicions, and I asked what he meant. He told me that the place was a cocaine joint. He said that the place was open day and night, and later I heard the proprietor tell a man that his doors had not been shut for two years. “The night clerk sald that while he was on duty he did nothing but sell cocaine to fiends and put up the stuff in packages for the next day’s business. I saw large rolis of paper, used only for making these pack- ages, which were placed, 100 in a box, and were sold for 5 cents apiece. “During the day that I was there I saw many persons, principally negresses, enter, hold up one finger or two and receive one or two packages of cocaine at 6 cents a package. The boxes which the night clerk had filled were at the hand of the day clerk and he handed the packages out until the hundred were disposed of and then he started on another box. He usually said to a patron, ‘Rolled? and if she said yes, he passed a heavy weight over the package and ground the crystals into a powder. “These flends ppssed behind the prescrip- tion counter aid passed through a door- way which admitted them to the rear. The clerk who sold them the cocaine opened the door for them and locked it on them, so that they could not pass out through the store. “I had occasion to go to an outhouse dur- ‘ing the day, and I passed through the door The megro then went on to describe the ‘that had let the purchasers of cocaine into nightly cocaine orgies held in the little room the rear of the building.

The mucous membrane absorbed the stuff and the patient quickly became drunk. A few of the women who were intoxicated were singing weird songs in a ghastly sort of way, which showed that they did not know what they were doing. *“Ohe miserable creature who was almost bald from long use of the drug was dancing about the floor in a state of ecstacy. ‘] saw enough to convince me that it ‘was not a legitimate place for me to work in and I determined not to pass another day, although I decided to finish the day which I had begun. As the hours passed I saw many negresses and two white women buy cocaine and enter the den in the rear. No men went into the den, but some men and also women purchased cocaine and left the place, presuma@ly to enjoy it at home. “In the course of that entire day but one prescription and two glasses of soda were sold in that drug store. The rest of the business done was in cocaine. “One episode struck me forcibly as show- ing the danger which attaches to the place. The proprietor said to his assistant: “*There is a woman in there almost un- conscious, She has been there for forty- eight hours and she must get out.’ “It was a very hot day and the clerk said she w@nld surely die if she were sent out in the sun. “Well, but she must not die in here,’ the proprietor answered, ‘because if she does those inquisitive reporters will be around here and will bother me to death.’ “The woman was allowed to stay, I think. “The poor creatures who bought cocaine and went into the den to absorb it into their systems were allowed to remain as long as they pleased to enjoy the after-de- lights. Some stayed two hours, and during the day the sours of coarse but happy voices singing and of clumsy feet dancing could be heard. The women were reveling in the pleasant phantasies which accom- pany the state of cocaine intoxication. “A feature of the place is the way the women leave. There is an alley gate which has a lock on the inside, but cannot be opened from the outside. The women pass out of this gate when they get over their drunk. Sometimes they desire to take another dose when the effects of the first one wears off, and they touch an electric button which summons the clerk cocaine. with a package of ie ae ‘During the day that I was in - drug store an Italian peddler entered an asked leave to keep his banana cart longer in front of a store which the proprietor = the cocaine joint owns at Bighth street an Franklin avenue.

Dr. Kearney said: ‘fhe drug is comparatively new to the general public, and the cocaine habit is one which has grown up only lately. For a body from using it, but now it is so cheap that any one who wants it can get it. “It is unlike morphine in that it requires no tools or instruments for its applica- tion, and can be taken in @ moment any- where, by anybody. The effect is quite different from that of morphine or opium, the victim not* becoming unconscious or sleepy, but, on the. contrary, feels an ex- hilaration something like that derived from | the use of alcoholic stimulants. “The prevailing method of using cocaine by habitual users is very simple. The crystal is bruised into a fine powder and snuffed up into the nostrils where it is al- most immediately absorbed by the mucous membranes which it benumbs to a certain degree. “Cocaine is a local anesthetic which is used a good deal in surgery. If properly “Tt is not necessary, however, to go into the merits of cocaine as an aid to surgery. What you want mainly is its effect on those who make habitual use of it as a stimulant. Some of these cases are persons who have been strongly addicted to morphine or whisky and have resorted to cocaine to escape the pain and suffering incident to the reaction from the use of the others. “Having once gotten into the way of using cocaine it i¢ very hard to stop it. It seems togetake a very strong hold upon the persons who once begin using it. “The immediate results of taking the drug are said to be very pleasant. All your troubles leave you and you look out upop the workd in the most cheerful and com- placent frame of mind. You are on good terms with yourself and everybody else as long as the effects last. When they pass off there is no severe reaction unless you have been using the stuff for a long time and have become accustomed to a very heavy dose. Then, the greater the dose nec- not think that there is any law against it, unless it is that which restricts the sale of poison. In that event, if the druggist has any doubt about the use it is to be put to, he has the purchaser sign a book, stating the use to which he means to apply the ‘A sufficient amount of it will cause death, but it is not often that an overdose of it is taken.” One of St. Louis’ most prominent: physi- cians has cause to know the dreadful nature of this drug.

THE CASE OF FLORA PELTER. Having Betrayed Her, the Man Forced Her Into His Low Dive and Kept Her There a Prisoner. Traffic in young girls has furnished Alex- ander Margulies, who calls himself king of the Third Police Digtrict, a bank account estimated at $8,000. For a year he has plied his shameful trade without interference until his ar- rest Wednesday night on a warrant em- bracing three charges of felony. During that time he has conducted a house of ill-fame at 706 and 77 North Eleventh street. : This resort was still in active operation Thursday morning, in spite of the fact that its proprietor is under three charges of fel- ony. It is the most dangerous and the vilest den of vice in St. Louis. It is a trap for men aod a prison for young girls. Unlike similar resorts, it is operated behind the shield of a respectable business. It is a ‘blind tiger.’’ ing to the apartments in the rear is heavily curtained. Thursday morning the sole occupants of this rear apartment were a police officer of the Third District, in dull uniform and wearing his star, and a depraved woman. The presence of the policeman, who was taking his ease on a luxuriously upholstered chair and apparently enjoying the society of his female companion, may explain the proprietor’s leng immunky from punish- ment. When a Post-Dispatch reporter ap- proached the cigar stand Thursday morn- ing a fleshy woman with painted face and blondined hair came out to wait upon him, After learning what was wanted. she in- quired: *‘Don’t you want to see the girls?” The policeman heard the remark. He took it as a matter of course, and did not allow it to interrupt his conversation with the depraved woman at his side. Margulies poasts that he controls the po- licemen of the Third District. Whether Margulies’ boast is justified or not, he has bid defiance to the law with per- fect safety ever since he came to St. Louis. That was about two years ago. His record since then has been revolting. It is partially contained in the story of Flora Pelter, a 16-year-old girl, whose fath- eral months ago. His only acquaintance was a man named Grossman, living at Eleventh and Morgan streets. Pelters took ~ wife and two daughters to Grossman's ouse. Having no amusement at hand the daugh- ters were accustomed to stroll up and down Eleventh street, their walks taking them strolled past, with avaricious glances. Across the street from his place is a lunch stand presided over by an old woman, This woman was cne of the witnesses who accompanied the father of the two g-ris in quest of a warrant. She stated that one evening, as the girls strolled by, Margulies said to her: “If you get those two girls for me you will make $25.”’ The woman rejected the offer, whereupon, it is stated, Margulies declared he would get the girls without her assistance. His method in luring young women is to make their acquaintance on the street and exercise with them all his powers of fascl- nation. A visit to a wine-room is the next step, then a rooming-house, then his dive. It was in this way he secured Flora Pel- police remove her. That was three weeks a female under agé and with betrayal.

Then he moved to a place two blocks above, finally settling down at his present location. Women who have been inmates of the place state that they were compelled to turn over to the woman who succeeded Mar. gulies’ wife all the money they received.

| DEMOCRACY, ——— BIG MEN OF MISSOURI GATHER AT THE PLANTERS. LON STEPHENS WAS UP EARLY. The Democratic Candidate for Gov- ernor Met Three Hundred Voters Before He Had Bréakfast. The Democratic State Central Committee proposes to begin at once the active work ‘of the campaign. Late Wednesday night Chairman Sam B. Cook telegraphed to Gov. William J. Stone, who is in New York. He asked him to con- fer with William J. Bryan, the Presidential nominee.and ascertain when he can come to St. Louis to grace the opening of the State ign. ae eees Thursday he had not received an answer, but he expects to know definitely before the State Committee completes its work of organization. In the meantime the State Central Com- mittee is at work discussing plans and ehaping its course. The committee will have its headquarters in St. Louis, and while the actual opening of the campaign may be postponed until the latter part of the month, the working force will begin its labors immediately. “Within two weeks,” said Chairman Cook, “we expect to have at least 15,000 persons in the employ of the State Committee. “The work of organizing by school dis- tricts will be taken up among the first bus!l- ness and will be vigorously pushed to com- pletion. “There are between 7,000 and 8,000 school districts in Missouri and in nearly all of these we shall soon have two or more ac- tive Democratic workers. In order to facill- tate the work and to avoid any delays we shall have the workers in the districts re- port directly to the State Committee in- stead of to the County Committees. That will enable us to know exactly how things are going without any loss of time. Chairman Cook may not announce his campaign and finance committees until Fri- day, but he has them nearly made up. The corridors of the Planters’ Hotel were crowded early Thursday morning with members of the Democratic State Central Committee, candidates for the various of- fices on the State ticket and by visiting Democrats from every section of the State, ealled here by their enthusiasm for the cause of Democracy. . In the hotel lobby before the “age of the committee they discussed State politics and the conditions existing as they found them in the different sections of the State. Among the notable Democrats assembled were: Ex-Con@ressman D. D. Burnes and James N. Burnes, Jr., of St. Joseph; Edi- tor R. B, Speed and Committeeman G. 8. Hoss of Vernon; J. M. Sallee of Bethany; John W. Booth of Franklin, and Maj. J. B. Dermis of Cape Girardéau, candidates for Judge of the Bastern District, Court of Appeals; Lon V. Stephens, nominee for Governor, and W. Speed Stephens of Boon- ville; Assistant State Treasurer Ed T., Orear and Sam Davis éf Saline; J. W. Far- ris and Editor James T. Bradshaw of Leb- anon; A. A. Lesueur, nominee for Secretary of State; J. M. Séibert, nominee for State Auditor; E. C. Crow of Jasper, nominee for Attorney General; Wiley O. Cox, owner of the Kansas City Times; E. E. Porterfield of Kan@as City; W. M. Draffen, Assistant nited Stat paasers. Attorney, of Kansas ity!" Fratk tts. 6f Monroe, nominee for State Treasurer; Paul B. Moore, Commit- teeman from Mississippi ee Senator George G. Vest and Rev. J. T. M. Johnston of Jefferson City. All were sanguine that Missouri would poll the largest vote in its history this fall, *. nd that Bryan and the Democratic State f ticket would poll all silver votes. Lon V. Stephens, the unanimous dhoice of the Democratic State Convention for Gov- ernor, rose early Thursday morning. Long before the members of the commit- tee or the other candidates were awake he was over in Union Market, shaking hands with the commission men, the gard- eners and market men. He was given a warm welcome and received many unso- lichtted offers of pupnert. “I shook hands with at least 800 men be- fore 8 o'clock this morning,” said Mr. Ste- phens. “Il am going to Kansas City to-night and Friday I shall attend the great annual pic- nic at Lone Jack in Jackson County.” Once eve year, on Aug. 15, the Demo- crats of Jackson, Cass, Clay and Lafayette unties gather in the big grove near Lone ack to celebrate the anniversary of the battle fought there between the Union and ~agrederate forces. . e crowd never numbers less than 10,000, and the day is a great jollification. Mr. Stephens will make a speech there and will then take a short rest before be ginning the campaign. On Aug. 29 he will be in Boonville, where @ great demonstration is to mark the formal epening of Senator Vest’s campaign. Senator Vest, looking fresh and vigorous and strong enough for an oki-time cam- align, entered the Southern Hotel early hureday. Later he joined the Democratic throng et the ewes - “The silver sentiment is growing stronger every day,” said Senator Vest. no 4 the election were to be held next week, Mr. ryan would be elected by a splendid vote.

ST. LOUISAN WHO KNOWS HER. He Describes the Methods of This New Woman Saint Now Trying to Raise a Revolt in Arizona. The morning dispatches mention an In- dian uprising in and about Nogales, Ariz., and name as the animating spirit a certain “Santa Teresa.’’ A St, Louisan, who just returned from that section of the country, furnishes the following Gate regarding this would-be Joan of Arc. “Santa Teresa”’ is a Mexican girl about 18 years old. She resides at present in E) Paso, Tex. She was born and raised in Caborca, Mexico, but by reason of her ten- dencies to stimulate popular uprisings was driven from the country. She then took up her residence in Marfa, Tex., and remained there for some months. Her home became a Mecca for her followers, who, trusting in her powers, clung to her with a devotion worthy something higher than an exiled woman. She professed a divine gift of healing and by this means retains a won- derful supremacy over the benighted people who follow her. The Catholic priest of Marfa, knowing the delusion under which her devotees were laboring, endeavored to make her true character evident. He personally visited her and requested that she put her so- calléd saintship to the test. She acquiesced, but the moment the test Was made known a command came from the epiritual authority. to cease her prac- tices, and mhe refused. Thereupon the riest declared her a fraud. This enraged Rae. and assuming the role of inspiration, she ‘“‘sicced” those ‘of her followers who were about her upon her denouncer. A riot almost resulted, and save for the prompt interference of the civil authori- ties, the life of the priest might have been sacrificed. “Santa Teresa” was then driven out of Marfa. The authorities now hold the war- rant that calls for her arrest the moment she returns. El Paso, Tex., then became her abode. Here, in an old town hall—a dilapidated adobe bullding— she continues her odd life of mischief, healing and prayer. One corner of the large room in which she lives is cur- tained off. and there she spends the day, communing with the spirits of the other world, receiving from them the instructions she imparts to her followers, as well as the power she claims to exercise in the healing art. Fascinated by the mystery of the life she leas, the poor natives crowd in from all sections of the neighboring country bringing their maimed and lamed, their sick and diseased, their deaf and dumb. The secret of her power, she claims, is personal holl- ness and a simple laying on of her hands accomplishes the purpose. She doesn't do as the Apostles did, however, as her performance is at so much per laying on of the hands. A constant crowd of devotees are about her. These attend to her personal wants, carry her messages, and bring her such information as she desires. Unlike the now notorious Schrader, she is preaching a sort of anarchy, which has so0 seized upon the minds of her followers that at her nod they rise in revolution or bend in subserviency. She regards priests with a special de- testation. The presence of One excites her to the sort of rage one fancies must have been the peculiar part of a tragic muse in the days of old Greece. To those accustomed to form their ideas of. how. saints look from the conceptions with which artists have adorned their can- vases, the sight of the Mexican girl wit her hair a la mode, her puffed sleeves an other indications of means far above that possessed by her followers is a revelation worthy the genius that has catight the su- perstitious weakness of her people and has so effectually worked it. HE WAS RASY. Michael Kleinhoffer Drugged and Robbed by a Peripatetic Siren in His Own Wine Room. Michael Kleinhoffer, who runs the Four Mile House, 4533 Easton avenue, was a dead easy victim for Mollie Schock, Michael told his story to Assistant Prose- cuting Attorney Johnson Thursday morning and prayed that a warrant may be issued against Moilie for relieving him of $65. According to Michael he was out for a “time” Wednesday night, and while prome- nading one of the down town thoroughfares met Mollie. She was fair to look upon and Michael was delighted when she smiled on him. He accosted her and she invited him to call on her at her hotel. Michael was too foxy to be caught that way, he told the prosecutor, and he de- clined the invitation. Then Mollie, who has &n active thirst, asked Michael to buy her adrink, And again she failed to score. Mike told her he would not object to giving her a drink if she were at his place of business, and he told her where he dis- pensed his liquid refreshments. Mollie Said she'd as lief be there as any other place, and if he’d stand the carfare she "i accompany him. S Was agreeable, and together the sampled Michael’s wares. . . During the evening Mollie asked for something that required Mike to leave the room for a few moments. When he returned Mollie filled a couple of glasses with beer. They each drank one. Michael says his was no sooner swal- lowed than he began to suffer intense pains and to froth at the mouth, as though he had been bitten by a mad dog. He fell to the floor and his guest re- lieved him of $65. When he gained consciousness he knew he had been drugged and robbed and re- ported the matter to the police. Mollie was arrested, but as Michael had no evidence to substantiate his story Col. na Johnson declined to issue the war- an DELEGATES TO CHILLICOTHE.

But the Bankers Say They’ll Be Dinged if They Loan to Speculators. The tightness of the money market at Chicago is not reflected in local banking circles, and St. Louis banks have an ample supply of funds for the legitimate needs of their regular customers. A rumor gained circulation on ’Change Thursday that banks were refusing all time loans. A Post-Dispatch reporter, detailed to run the report down, discovered that the report was without foundation. A number of banks were visited and at all of them the situation was described in terms that showed no substantial varia- tion. “‘We have plenty of money,” said a bank- er, ‘for the legitimate business needs of our regular customers, but are not seeking out- side paper nor are we making loans to parties suspected of a purpose to use the money for speculative purposes. The low price of stocks and bonds on the New York Stock Exchange offers an inviting field for speculation and some of our lodal speculators are showing a disposition to invest in these securities at what they con- sider bed-rock figures. “The investment may be a good one, but we have no money to advance for such purposes. We need our money to supply the regular channels of commerce and are extending the reserve accommodations to our regular customers at customary rates.’’ In confirmation of this the reporter learn- ed that a well-known speculator on 'Change, whose paper is considered good, was re- fused a ninety-day loan, although he offered 1 per cent per month for the accommodation. This loan falls within the class that con- servative bankers are refusing. MESSIMY—GARESCHE. Climax of a Romance That Began in Martinique.

PARDON WON'T PROTECT HIM. A Bad Man Released by Acting Gov- ernor O’Meara to Be Charged With Vagrancy. The police are looking for Buck Nelson, who was pardoned Wednesday from the Penitentiary by Lieut.-Gov. O’ Meara. They want to send him to the Police Court as a vagrant and have him ordered out of town. Nelson and Ike Levy, who was pardoned at the same time, enjoy the distinction of being the only two dangerous men ever pardoned who spent twenty hours in this city without being arrested. Levy spent most of Wednesday afternoon and night at Jim Cronin’s saloon on Twelfth street, but of course the police don’t look in Cronin’s for bad men. Hé even got drunk there and left St. Louis Thursday morning for Louisville. Buck Nelson, who for years was the ter. ror of Kerry Patch, is in St. Louis now, but he is not loafing around the Four Courts. Buck i# a bad man to be loose, even in a cell by himself, let alone a big city. Five years ago he was sent to the penitentiary for one of thé most cruel crimes in the police calendar. He and Joe Sutter, who has since reformed and is a brick mason, en- tered the home of Mrs. Van Duhl on Geyer avenue, between California and Iowa, and were looting the place when the old lady ame Rate! eae “pa grabbed a atchet and ep er head o months she lay near dead, = Nelson and Sutter were arrested. Sutter pleaded lity and was sentenced to two years and Nelson was sentenced to serve “net "took from the 1 a 00 e® lower element Kerry Patch the two brightest lapemnation in the firmament of rowdyism and crime. Buck Nelson was the pride of a gang of the lowest-minded youths in the city. He h been a vernment prisoner for counterfeiting. The molds, metal and im- plements were found in his possession, be- sides a quantity of the bogus coin. He served five years for that. When he was released a new gang was formed. Those were the halevon days of six and eight years ago. A policeman was mobbed in “the Matcu neariy every nigic, Buck Nelson was the leader. He lived on O’Falion street, near Twenty-second, and he numbered as his supporters the four Sut- ter boys, the Cunningham brothers, Jack elsh and Frank Fone. ‘When lads; too small to co t serious qrimes they were playmates the famous ack Shea. 400 dozen Fine Lawn and Dimity Waists—latest patterns, latest effects—all with detachable collar of same material, with new Bishop Choice To-morrow...eccoccecse To All Who 19¢ BEEK KEK KEEKEK KEKE DDD DDD DDDDDDDDDDDd5 THE TRAVELERS’ GUIDE, WAISTEDWimess APREMIER SHIRT WAIST.

Strong Feeling That It Will Be Well for All Silver Men to Stand Together. The Democratic State Central Committee 4s practically a unit on the proposifion to do everything consistent with party policy ‘to secure a union of all the Bryan and Sew- all free silver forces. In its executive session Thursday forenoon it discussed informally the general propo- sition that there should be but one free silver electoral ticket in the State. No action was taken then looking to fusion and none may be taken, but the mem of the committee will carefully consider every phase of politics’ tmvolved in the plan. At the recent Democratic State Conven- Rion the redgolution declaring that there uld be but one set of silver electors in igssouri was first adopted, then reconsid- ered, and finally the convention adjourned gine die without action. Thursday when the question was broached there was a general unanimity of expres- J sion among committeemen that the Demo-’ cratic party should lose no opportunity to votes in every quarter possible. After the adjournment of the executive Session the committeemen declined to dis- cuss the qtiestion. It was p peocentes in the shape of a reso- luti orizing a sub-committee from the m™m to confer with the Populist ittee to ascertain if it was pos- sible to reach an agreement whereby but ticket would be put in the the Be ee for ; @ you.

Hig honor the Mayor has spoken and made a direct and positive statement at that. He was found in his office shortly after moon in econferente with the Board of Man- agers of the House of Refuge. He wore his customary smile and speetacies. The porter was gree pleasantly and was asked what could be done for him. “Can your honor tell me the status of the Auditorium Building and how long the rmit has to run?’ Without an instant’s hesitation, the Mayor “I can.” The interviewer almost fainted. He got im range of an electrical fan and by heroic mental effort rallied long enough to realize that the Mayor had actually made a positive statement. ‘Will you please tell me what it is?’’ said the interviewer, with his heart strings up to concert pitch. * **Yes, sir. The permit is good to Jan, Ist, I looked it up myself this morning. I ex- tended it to that time before the conven- tion at the request of Mr. Thompson, with whom I acted in that matter throughout. “It was represented to me that a number of other conventions would want to use the building from.time to time until January, so I extended the permit until that time.” The Mayer said all this without hesitation or embarrassment and seemed disposed to talk further, but the shock to his ques- So great that he fled in dis- tloner may.

RELICS OF GRIME SOUD. Contraband Goods, Seized by the Po- lice, Auctioned Off. A motley crowd of second hand dealers as- sembled at the auctien rooms of A. A. Sel- kirk & Co:, on Eighteenth and Chouteau avenue Tuesday morning to look over and handle a gruesome lot of unclaimed prop- erty put up for sale by the Police Board. The collection included a great variety of miscellaneous articles, from lead pipe to watches and pistols. Bach article was tagged with its history, and some bore traces of bloed upon them. One pocket knife of a vicious appearance, with a badly stained blade, bore a tag ex- plaining that the stains upon it were not blood, but plug tobacco. The statement was signed by a chemist who had examined the weapon. One watch, which was sold for ® cents, bore a tag with the following inscription: “Found in the house of Mrs. McMahon; supposed to have been stolen by George Wilson; sent to the penitentiary for eight ears by Allender and Smith; Col. Dick ohnson wore this watch at one time.’’ On a big table was a stack of cheap pistols‘ which did not bring more than 10 or 16 cents apiece. One batch of fifty-two pocket-knives was sold at 2 cents apiece. Brass knuckles were at a discount and had to be sold along with something else before any bid could be gotten on them. Nearly every article had a criminal his- tory connected with it, but the second-hand men did not consider that of any addi- tional value. The whole lot brought per- haps $10. TO LEARN IF IT’S REGULAR. The Eleventh Congressional Commit- tee Wants Its Status Defined. Before the Democratic State Central Com- mittee took a recess for dinner a deputa- tion of the Eleventh Congressional Dis- trict Democratic Committee called and re- quested a ruling as to the regularity of its organization. he Congressional Committee was not elected two years ago, but held over from the convention of 1892. The candidate for Congress in that dis- tPict at the last election was chosen by a direct vote and the committee made no provision for the election of its successor. The committee still holds on and many Democrats are doubtful of its regularity. To settle all doubt, the committee decided to get a decision from the State organiza- tion before it proceeded to nominate a can- didate to fill the vacancy caused by Harrison I. Drummond's withdrawal. The committee will pass upon the question before it adjourns. GOOD LUCK AND BAD LUCK. The Street Cars Were Smashed, but No Passengers Were Hurt. Two Union Line street cars: met on the curve at Bifteenth and Madison streeis at 8 a. m. Thursday. The south-bound car was loaded with passengers, but the north- bound car was empty. There was a mis- understanding of signals and the two cars went on the curve at the same time. When they met there was a crash and the front platform of the north-bound car was of this cit robbery. tence at knocked off. Several windows were broken 'and the side of the south-bound car was mashed in. There was no one injured al- though there was considerable excitement in the car with the passengers. MARTHA RETURNS TO GERMANY. Pardoned Servant Girl Taken Away by Relatives. Martha Wagner, who was pardofied out of the penitentiary by the Governor a few days ago, left for Germany with her uncles Wednesday evening. The girl belongs to a well-to-do German family and came to the lnited States to have a good time. She hired out as a servant, in accord- ance with her ideas of amusement, and was sentenced to two years in the penitentiary for stealing $8 from her. mistress. Her uncles had Sudge Harvey induce Gov. Stone te pardon her on their promise to take her back to Germany. OVERBECK’S WINTER PLANS. Poor-House Superintendent Wants to Use Quarantine. Superintendent J. L. Overbeck of the Poor House was in the Mayor's office Thursday to talk about plans for the winter at his hotel. ’ Mr. Overbeck sald: “I wan't to get the Mayor and the Hospital Commission to take hold of the Poor House and do something for us e winter comes along so that we ean be relieved of the crowd we have on hand. My idea is té use the Quarantine rounds for the paupers. It is a good place or them and will be more benefictal for them in every way. Our buildings are out of condition and overcrowded now and something must be done for us very soon.” Refuge Board Reorganizes. . The new Board of Managers of the House of Refuge held a meeting in the Mayor's office at 11 o’clock Thursday to reorganize. The new members, George Oeters and Frank Paul, were sworn in and given their seats. The board now cons'sts of the two new members and Mrs. Damon and Mrs. Tre- lease of the old board. The Mayor is an ex-officio chairman of the board. Lee Declines to Lerve. Mayor Walbridge received a letter from H. Lee of the Charity Commission, in which he declined to serye as a member of the New Hospital Commission. The ordl-¥ nance provides that there shall bé one mem- ber of the Charity Board upon the New Hospital Commission, and the Mayor ap- ointed Mr. Lee.

There was a more confident feeling discernible at the opening, but it did not last long. The masterful and conservative speech last night in New York of Mr. Bryan, the Democratic noml- nee for President, had a reassuring effect, as Was evidenced b ya stronger market for stocks in Wall street. Foreign markets were depressed by the decline in this country yesterday, the public cables being dull and easy and a private Liverpool \d lawer. This was not so much regarded, as the trade recognized it as due to the break yesterday in their own markets. Receipts showed no diminution at Western winter wheat markets being 305,000 bu against 234,000 bu a year ago, of which 83,400 bu at St. Louis, against 04,400 bu last year and 185 cars at Chicago, against estimate for 740 cars. Spring wheat ar- rivals in the Northwest were 252 cars, against 130 cars a@ year ago. The weather conditions were more favorable for spring wheat, also, and the cooler temperature nearly everywhere preneney helped materially to marore the speculative feeling. Tlowever, the reaction at the opening was small and was shortly followed by a quick break ia price.

Election Commissioners Examining Citizens Selected as Good Material for Election Judges and Clerks. The Election Commissioners opened their school of examination for appointments of judges and clerks of election in the Chamber of the House of Delegates Wednesday evening with a class of 200. The taree commissioners were all present, ) and C. L. Hoblitselle and Richard Mappes . served as Democratic examiners, and J. 8. Higgins and Edward Watson for the Re- puwvicans. The candidates were summoned from the : twenty-one precincts in the Twenty-seventh Ward and twelve precincts in tne Four- teenth. Fifteen faued to respond to the summons. They were: Democrats—Charles P. Brown, Henry Grueber, E. C. Campbell and James W. Havens of the Twenty-sev- ‘ enth Ward, and Fred Nash of the Four- teenth Ward. Republicans—William Ellison and Henry Leinemann, of the Fourteenth Ward, A. J. Mann, William J. Vonderheide, James McMillan, John Le Roy, James C. _ Barbour and Frank Rascher. Several of these are known to be out of the city and several sent excuses that they ; were too sick to attend. A failure to re- spond to the call of the Commissioners and render a valid excuse @ubjects the de- jinquent to a fine of not less than $100. It is compulsory on the Commissioners to prosecute those who fail to respond to the summons, and the case of each of the absentees will receive immediate investi- gation. The first man to be examined was Frank ES Pe ees ee — Kefiey, saloonkeeper at 5745 Manchester avenue. Kelley is a Democrat. The first Republican examined was F. Mittelberg in precinct 13, Fourteenth Ward. he examination is as to citizenship, ability to read and write English and the ‘' four fundamental principles of arithmetic. ; Quite a number were disqualified because they did not understand the English lan- ; guage and others because they did not have : naturaligation papers. “ The Republican factions in the Four- ; teenth ard have commenced early to make trouble fo ommissioner Saunders, who is charged with the duty of picking good Republicans to serve in every pre- . cinct. Two sets of Republicans have been sent to the Commissioner from every pre- R cinct in the ward. Conrad J. Stolle, Presi- Gent of the Fourteenth Ward McKinley Club represents one faction while -Lee Phillips represents the other, and they make all kinds of ugly charges against each other's selection. r. F. P. Thompson, assistant to Dr. Rer- nays, tried to be excused on the ground that he had no politics aside from being in favor of free silver, but President Hig- ns told him he would have to serve as a 2 ee en ore mocrat. The selectiong§ by the Commissioners em- men of'every vocation. Quite a number were disqualified by illiteracy, but all of those who answered the questions ; ‘ @atisfactorily were handed a book of in- : structions to study as to their duties as | registers and officers of election.
