The Workmen Think the Niedring- haus Family Is Trying to Teach Them How to Vote. Granite City, one of the most thriving suburbs of St. Louis, has gone to sleep. The great factories over there have prac- tically suspended operations, and what was a hustling little town some two weeks ago ,is now suggestive of Goldsmith's “Deserted Village.”” About 2,000 men are idle. There are various industries in Granite City, but the life of the town practically depends upon the Niedringhaus family. They own the St. Louis Stamping W orks, the largest plant in the place; the Granite City Steel Works and are largely interested in the American Steel Foundry Co., of which Rolla Wells is president. Mr. Wells was formerly president of the St. Louis Democracy, but resigned to upport a goldbug ticket. ra * “Fhe neher large plant in Granite City is American of which D, R. is president. The plant has been closed for some time, in common with the other large wire companies of the country, but the Niedringhaus-Wells establishment only recently allowed their fires to go out and gave the employes a vacat.on without ay. erhe causes assigned for the inactivity in Niedringhausville, as Granite City is also called, because that family owns nearly all the town, are the intolerably hot weather of the past three weeks and the dull times, * These reasons are giyen by the manage- ment of the factories, -but there t* another reason assigned by many of the shop-keep- ers and workingmen of Granite City. They gay that there is politics in the suspension of business and hint that their employers are trying to terrorize them into casting their votes for McKinley and Wall Street money. A Post-Dispatch reporter visited the man- wfacturing suburb Friday and found the @reat stacks were smokeless and the ham- mers were stilled. There was littie sign of life around any of the big plants. Where from 800 to 1,000 men are employed at the siamping works, less than 190) were at work. What men were at work at the Niedringhaus rolling mill were making repairs. There were few at the American = Foundry and the w re mill was desert- e Wire Co., At the stamping company’s plant the re- orter found William F. Niedringhaus, ice-President and General Manager. When asked why his great plant was al- most deserted, he said the chief cause was the hot weather the country had been hav- ing of late. “We were running along with a very large force,” he said, ‘‘until the weather became so Oppressive that the men had to suspend work. They becan laying off fiftv and a hundred at a time, and we just had to quit. Another cause is the exceedingly duli times and the lack of orders. “There is no occasion to run a great fac- tory and keep turning out products when there is no demand for them, so, you see, it ig necessary to close up at times. Next Monday or Tuesday, if the weather permits, we will resume with probably 300 of our men, and wll increase the number if bus!i- mess warrants it. “The country is unsettled on account of the Presidential campaign and the threat- ened silver standard. Men in b isiness are feeling their way carefully while this dis- cUssion is going on and are not buying more than they need. “Of course We are for sound money and he welfare of the nation demands its suc. ‘-2 tn the coming election. Let me say, however, that our works were not closed to coerce any of our men. What they think on this money qyestion is their own affair te I not yy how the triumph of ihe ee coinage of silver c: ss +f oe « an possibly benefit “On the other hand I can see wherein it will do them great injury.

' . NO PRACE ROR SALVATIONISTS. CAPT. ANDERSON’S BRIGADE IS AGAIN MOBBED. MEETING WAS BROKEN UP. A Sturdy Farmer Defends His Daugh- ter an@ Makes the Toughs Wince. The Salvation Army Brigade, stationed at Belleville, came out Thursday night and took its stand just off Main street on the Postoffice corner. The touchs expected that the police would be on hand to preserve the peace and for a couple of minutes there was good order, but when the crowd saw that one solitary unmuscular policeman was the only rep- resentative of the decent and peaceable people of Belleville they interpreted it as a sign that Mayor Sunkel was going to carry out his violent threat made several months | ago, that he would drive the uniformed Christians out of town by force. The pushing and striking was evén more violent than on Tuesday night, more vio- lent, in fact, than it has been since the night last fall when the United States flag was stripped from its staff and torn into shreds to be divided among the leading spirits of the mob as mementoes of their prowess, That there was no blood spilled was due solely to the marvelous forbearance of the sympathizers of the Christians who might after night confine themselves to protecting the women and who will not bring the city into further disgrace by meeting violence | Mosque an with violence until absolutely compelled to. The outbreak Thursday night began with the throwing of rotten eggs from the bor- ders of the crowd. The boisterous singing of the choruses of the army was then be- gun, but that proved too tame, and the crowd began to push, The first rushes were of such violence that the circle was completely broken up and it was never re-formed, the soldiers staying as closely together as possible, but being hopelessly mixed up with their ‘per- secutors. An attempt was made to keep up the mus- ic, but the instruments were knocked from the hands of the musicians and the voices of the 4 drowned out by the shouts of the mob. A well-dressed gentleman, a stranger in the city, who had béen observing the prog- ress of things from the borders of the crowd, pushed his way to the side of the banner bearer, and, removing his hat, tried to reason with the crowd. He was permit- ted.to say just enough to let them see the tenor of his remarks, when a score of faces were protruded into his, and his voice drowned out with a chorus of fierce yells. Fle made repeated appeals to the crowd to listen to him, only to be replied to with yells and hoots, and he finally gave it up. The rushes were resumed, and the lads and lassies more effectualiy scattered than before. Whenever a cap or bonnet was seen it became the center of minor rushes. Some of the women, isolated in this way, were caught hold of and subjected to the grossest indignities by low-browed toughs.

Because Harry Wade Objected to a Prescription, George David At- tempted to Kill Him. Mrs. Blackwell’s boarders had something besides politics to discuss at the break- fast table Friday morning. Murder had been attempted during the night, and most of the boarders had scarcely slept a wink. It was the biggest Eph Huston is | celebrating his election as a delegate to the ! sensation that Mrs. Blackwell's boarding- , house, which is at 3018 Lucas avenue, had experienced in a long time. George David, city drummer for the wil- lemsen Belting Co., 309 Destrehan street, and Harry Wade, salesman for the J. L. Hudson Clothing Co., are both nice young men, who make their home with Mrs. Black- well. Late Thursday night Mr. Wade was sitting on the front steps with some of the ladies, drinking fresh air. He excused himself for a few minutes to go to his room, and when he came back a few minutes later Mr. David was there. He had come home, so Mrs. Blackwell and Wade say, the worse for liquor. P avid glared at Wade, and then came the geht. “You insulted me last Sunday, and I am going to cut you to pieces,” said David and with that he made a motion toward Wade's throat. The clothing salesman saw 4 knife blade glisten in the moonlight, and was paral- yzed with fear. He did not even drop his hat, or move his hands. A slight lurch of his body to the left prevented the knife from finding re- pose in Wade's throat, but there was @ sound as of ripping cloth that terrified the ladies and caused some of them to scream, ed they thought that murder was Deing done. The knife struck Wade near the right shoulder and cut his coat, shirt and under- shirt to the elbow, but did not scratch the skin of his arm. Wade says that David made a second at- tempt to let out some of his blood by raising his knife and bringing it down with consid- erable force toward Wade's stomach. The clothing salesman did not desire a laparotomy operation, and he made a kick at his assailant. The knife continued to descend, and stopped when it reached Wade’s extended ieg, which was slightty gashed just above the knee. By this time the guests, especially the ladies, were badly frightened, for Mrs, Blackwell's is a very respectable boarding house, and Lucas avenue out that way has very few cutting scrapes. David cut short the agony of his victim and the spectators by pocketing his knife and announcing his intention to flee to East St. Louis. He left the premises and did not return during the night. Wade examined himself and finding there were no gashes in his anatomy he went in search of a policeman, Several blue-coats and a few detectives were soon at Mrs, Blackwell’s house making an investigation. David reported for duty to his employers over the telephone Friday morning and he is not believed to have left the city. The first trouble between David and Wade occurred last Sunday evening, and accord- ing to Wade and Mrs. Blackwell, who says David is an old Kentucky friend, David was slightly intoxicated. The boarders were at lunch and Wade was complaining of neuralgia, which has annoyed him for some time. David suggested that Wade put vaseline in his ears, close them with his fingers, then put creosote in his rotten teeth and await results. Wade took offense at the suggestion. He told David that he was drunk, and all inter- course and conversation could not end too quickly. To avoki further trouble, Wade says, he left the room. He has néver been friendly ~ eee with David, and he didn’t want Oo be. Burlington Route to Kansas City. Railroad Fireman Ailled.

FRAN- CIS DON’T AGREE. CHARGES OF SELF-SEEKING. Receiver Francis’ Management Is Not Satisfactory, but He Holds On Just the Same. The affairs of the St. Louis United BDle- vator Company are daily becoming more complicated. The controversy, which recently resulted in an application to the United States Court for the removal of D. R. Francis as re- ceiver, is developing considerable bitterness which renders the prospect for a settlement more remote than ever. J. B. M. Kehlor, one of the principal bond- holders of the company, and D. R. Fran- cis are the chief figures tn the controversy. In a morning paper Friday an article, which, Mr. Kehlor charges, was inspired by Mr. Francis, accuses Mr. Kehlor of at- tempting to securé contfol of the elevator properties for his own interests.

The Shell Will Have to Be Heated and Will Be a Menace to Life and Property. It seems that there is going to be more fuss and {rouble to get rid of the conven- tion auditorium than it took to get it built. No one has ever contended that there was any legal authority for the construc- tion of the building on city property, but it was rmitted on the necessity, with the specie undordnmen by Oct. 1 strong opposi- among The scheme ts with tion from theatfical managers, whom is Councilman Ollie Hagan.

Neither is there any law authorizing him to issue permits. As one city official puts it: “The Mayor’s } permit authorizes the holder of it to do somethi that he can’t do under the law, and enables him to defy the executive of- ficers of the law, if interfered with.’’ So great had become the abuses under the permit system that more than a year ago, just after President Nagel had experienced several days of annoyance from it as acting Mayor, he submitted the following res- og in Council, and it was adopted June 18, ‘‘Whereas, The practice of issuing permits, although based on no authority but custom, has assumed such importance that it en- gages a considerable portion of the time and attention of the Mayor's office; and, ‘“‘Whereas, The purpose should be to avoid the exercise of unauthorized power and to solve all complications by lawful methods, and, ‘Whereas, The exercise of arbitrary power, however wisely and vet é exercised, must always result in relative injustice, be it “Resolved, That it is the sense of this Council that in the absence of actual or practical necessit the provisions of the be observed in all cases and in every respect by all depart- | ments.’’ | East St. Louis Elevator, one of the prop- | erties of the company, so that if he gained control of it his interests would be largely enhanced, and he would make more money out of the arrangement than with D. R. Francis in control. It Is carefully ‘nted out in the article that the other bondholders would suffer. It transpired Friday that subsequent to the application for the removal of Mr. Francis from control of Central Elevators A and B, Mr. Kehlor petitioned the Lllinois courts for the removal of Mr. Francis from the receivership of the East St. Louis ele- | vator, When asked about the matter by a Post- -_- 47— reporter ny Mr. Kehlor said: “Il have applied for the removal of Mr. Francis because I believe that under differ- ent management more money could be made out of it for the bondholders. I could send more grain to the elevator than it fs getting now, instead of having it sent, to others con- trolled by the company, such as the Union Elevator, in which Mr. Francis is very Reav- ily interested and which is now getting the bulk of the grain. y “Teh capacity of the East St. Louis ele- | vator, too, should be enlarged so that more money could be made. ‘tT am not seeking control for my own benefit. More money would be made for all the bondholders and all would be equally benefitted.’’ 2 While the fight is pending in court an effort is still being made to reorganize the St. Louis United Elevator Co. If any attention has ever been paid to this action of the Council it has not been observable on the surface of official waters. Councilman Hagan said Friday that if the Mayor would not relent and withdraw his long term, permit for the use of the Auditorium for amusement purposes the theatrical managers would take steps in the courts to get an injunction and have oe pelicieg torn down as or ly pro- vided. ‘‘No one objects to the street car exhibition which is to be held October 15,"" said Mr. Hagan. “That is for a scientific purpose, and is a mater of education and manufact- uring interest But we do object to have private individuals using city property fo amusement purposes without warrant o law or any return to the city. “The Theatrical Association of St. Louis represents upwards of $2,000,000 capital legiti- mately invested. We pay taxes and give employment during the busy season to fully 500 persons, and now to permit a coterie of privene citizens to take charge of a public uilding and inaugurate a series of cheap amusements for personal gain, is unfair. unjust and an outrage on the people who have all they’ve got staked on giving the people legitimate amusement at reasonable rates. “The Mayor has just as much right to make the Auditorium permit for a year or two years as he has to make it till January next. ‘‘Besides that the building does not belong to the city. By the terms of construction it was to be the property of Contractor Me- Clure, and every plank and nail in it belongs to him, and he is to remove it at his own cost, and by Oct. 1 A committee on reorganization was formed | some time ago. Before Mr. Francis was appointed receiver a plan was formulated whereby all interests were to be consoli- dated. This required the co-operation of the bondholders with the stockholders, At that time President Anderson took an active interest in the matter. A —_ | of the Reorganization Com- mittee was he Office of the company in the Rialto bulld- ing. According to F. H. Langenberg,: one of the members of the committee, the meeting was of short duration, and nothing was accomplished, because a number of the principal bondholders failed to attend the meeting. Among the absentees was Mr. J. B. M. Kehlor, who stated Friday that while he did not hold all of the $150,000 bonds of the East St. Louis elevator, he sentrolled them. He had been prevented by illness from attending the meeting. “TI am in favor of a reorganization,” said Mr. Kehlor. Whatever plans for reorganization are now being considered are being kept secret. Mr. Langéenberg explained Friday that it would not be policy for the company to pub- lish its plans. The suits now pending for the removal of Mr. Francis as receiver were instituted by holders of bonds on Central A and Central elevators, Mr. Kehlor was among the peti- tioners. Since the suits were filed Mr. W. T. An- derson of the company has apparently lost all interest in its affairs. He stated Friday that he was paying no attention to the mat- ter.

The Board of Managers of the Joint Traf- fic Board of the Eastern trunk lines, has re- jected the proposition of the St. Louis bus!- ness interests that the Eastern roads ab- gorb the bridge arbitrary. The communication in whioh the refusal was made, is curt and to the point. It leaves no doubt as to the hopelessness of getting relief in this quarter. It merely says that the request cannot be granted for the reason that the trunk lines do not control the entire situation. Hence, it 1s recommended that negotiations be taken up with the parties controlling the terminals nd the bridges. = Joseph 8S. Leeds, who went to New York last May In behalf of the business men of this city, presented the arguments for the absorption of the arbitrary before the mem- bers of the board then in session. The matter was referred to a committee com- osed of Orland Smith, Baltimore & Ohio; Miiton Knight. Wabash; D. 8S. Gray, Penn- sylvania: im. F. Walker, Jr., Big Four and esapeake & o. Their answer has just been received.

In my judgment it was a waste of ime to present this matter to the atten- tion of the Eastern lines. They will not take upon themselves this burden until they re obliged to. oeThe only way in which this question will ever be settled is by competition. I have made a thorough study of @ conditions confronting St. Louis. I believe I under- etand what is necessary in this matter for her good. “Competition is the only mea of bring- ing the railroads to terms, an that will eventually be attained.” “Do you mean by the bu'lding of another road crossing the river some distance above or below St. Louis?” “That is about it. No one road ending in ‘(ast St. Louis ia strong enough to absorb the bridge arbitrary, for the Eastern lines would bottle it up at its Eastern terminus and keep it from the seaboard. Another road controlled by St. Louis must reach clear across the continent and until we ob- tain that there will be no solution of the problem. “The absorption by this road of the arbi- trary would force the others to the same basis. “Tt is useless In the present political and financial condition of the country to at- tempt to raise any money for such a scheme, but I believe that when business * affairs settle down to a normal state, suf- ficient money can be raised in St. Louis to earry it through.”’ For the sake of argument, Mr. Leeds was then asked this question: "You do not believe, then, that the con- struction of a third bridge at this point be bring in the competition you speak oO ”” “I do not. This is a question between the shippers of St. Louis and the railroads that terminate across the river. The bridge charges do not enter into it. Somebody must pay them. Either the shippers or the railroads. These tolls may be exces- sive, but that is not the question. That is only to the measure of the evil, and does not affect the principle involved. “No number of bridges is the railroads across to this side of the river. They don’t want to come here., They had the opportunity to get in when the Mer- chants’ Bridge was built, and they refused to take advantage of it. “The railroads have simply’ failed to recognize St. Louis in their tariffs. They Gay their tracks stop at East St. Louis. In taking this position they have dene this city a great injustice. They are in East St. Louis because of the presénce on this side of the river of St. Louis. Were St. — not here there would be no city over “St. Louis is the only city in the country that has been treated in this way. Rates should be made to the point where the busi- nes is. This is done in New York. The railroads have the same rates to New York that they have to Jersey City, and they pay e charges over the North River. But the railroads here will not do this until they are compelled to and competition is the oniy means of making them do it.

Clara Conway is something of a fighter when she “gets her dander up.” She drove every man out of the Columbia Hotel, at Ninth and Chestnut streets, at 2:30 a. m. Friday, and when a mob of 20 persons, headed by a United States Secret Service detective, attacked her at the head of the Stairs «he belabored them with a heavy cane 60 vigorously that they were glad to retreat for a policeman. 3 Only the cold muzzle of a revolver sub- dued the angry siren. It all came about in this way. Clara rented a room in the Columbia last Monday, but made no arrangements with the pro prietor, Tom Howell as = she was to have there. so what company Clara has been in the habit o and out of the hotel at all BSR en night, always with a companion. When she climbed up the stairs eurly Friday morn- ing with Irene Devereaux, Howell stopped them as they passed the office and ordered the Devereaux woman out of the place, and she went. Clara went down stairs and brought her back. Then the prepriesee aut her out, ejected her forcibly. lara brought her companion back, and as she ap- proached the office she gave the proprietor a right hand, full arm upper cut on the jaw that felled him to the floor. The women held their ground. Howell ran back to a corner and secured a heavy leather cane and made a rush for Clara. She did not move an inch. She grabbed the cane, disarmed the man, and began pounding him on the back with it. Irene held him while Clara applied the lash. Howell finally broke away, bruised and sore, and ran down the stairs and on to the street, yelling ““Watch’’ and ‘“Po- lice!”’ Outside the hotel the excitement still con- tinued. Uncle Tom, an old man who re- mained in the office for the proprietor, at- tacked the women and he was also roughly handled and was glad to escape. The men’s yells awoke the neighborhood. A crowd, led by a man who showed a shield, and who said he was a Secret Service officer, crept up the stairs. Clara was standing at the head of the stairs swinging the’ cane. The officer was brave, but when he got within reach of her she struck him on the neck with the cane, tumbling him back into the mob. After the crowd had retreated Patrolman Finan came up with Howell. The woman told them to stand back. Finan drew his revolver and told her if she made any remonstrance he would shoot. They got up to her, and all of a sudden she kwocked Hiowell to the floor with a blow from the cane. Then Finan took the cane from her and led both of them to a telephone and sent them to the Four Courts, where they were locked up. AMERICANS INNOCENT. They Had Nothing to Do With the Saragossa Demonstration. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Aug. 14.—The Journal this morning has the following by cable from London: : Your Madrid correspondent telegraphs that judicial proceedings instituted for the 4 discovery of the instigators of the demon- stration by women in Saragossa against the dispatch of reinforcements to Cuba have shown that American missionaries and Protestants in general had nothing to do with the uprising. . This reflects on the authorities, who as- sured the press that missionaries were the instigators. The women now declare they acted of their own accord. William Gulick, an American missionary, so far from sympathizing with the Cubans, declares that all his sympathies are with Spain and that he protested against the speeches of Senators Sherman and Morgan in the Senate at Washington. Senor Arang- jo, the other missionary, who was said to be an American subject and a filibuster agent, ‘s a native of Seville and a sound Spaniard. The whole story shows the deep sus- icion with which everything American is ooked on in Spain, even by the authorities. Every American is considered an agent of the filibuster, or at least as their ac- tive supporter. ON THE LAURADA’S TRACK. The Reina Mercedes in Quest of the Filibuster. PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 14.—It is stated in this city that the Spanish cruiser Reina Mercedes has started northward along the Atiantic coast in quest of the Laurada. The filibuster sailed a week ago, bearing a | portion of one of the best equipped expedi- tions that has gone to the insurgents’ ald. The remainder of the arms is to be trans- ferred to her at the distance of a hundred miles off the Florida coast from a swift tug, which slipped out of Tampa Tuesday night. Spaniards Want Damag@. HAVANA, Aug. 14.~Havana newspapers urge the Spanish Government to hold the United States responsible for damages sus- tairféd from filibustering expeditions from American ports since the outbreak in Cuba began. Mr. Rigney, the owner of the Ceiba Heuca sugar mills and plantations, just destroyed near Manzanillo, has arrived here to file his claims for damages. He had a long con- sultation with Consul General Lee and they called at the palace to lay the case before the Qaptain General. Mr. Rigney estimates his loss at nearly $2,000,000. Pan-American Congress. MEXICO CITY, Aug. 14.—The sessions of the Pan-American Cohgre have begun here. This congress was called at the insti- gation of Ecuader, and that republic is rep- resented, as are also Salvador, Costa Rica, Guatemala and Honduras. Sessions are held daily at the National Palace and are pri- vate, being presided over by Me. Lewis Caro of Ecuador. ONLY HALF DRUNK. James Sullivan’s Defense to the Charge of Drunkenness. James Sullivan was an awful sight in the Second District Police Court this morn- ing. His shirt was torn, his trousers deep in a coating of mud from the ankle to the knee and his condition indicated incipient delir- ium tremens. “You are charged with being drunk,” said the Court; “are you guilty or not guilty?’’ “Not guilty, your honor.” An officer testified that he had found Sullivan asleep on the sidewalk and very drunk. “What have you to say, Sullivan?’ in- quired the court when the officer got through. ‘ “T was not drunk, your honor. I was only half drunk.”’ A smile rippled through the court-room at this or'ginal defense. Perhaps this is why the Judge stayed his sentence after fining him $3. VENEZUELAN DISPUTE. Indications That It Will Be Settled Before Long. LONDON, Aug. 14.—The First Lord of the Treasury, Mr. A.* J. Balfour, tn the House of Commons to-day, replying to Sir William Harcourt, the Liberal leader, who requested information relative to the progress of the negotiations for arbitration of the Ven- ezuelan Gispute, said that the Government was still considering the latest proposals of Secretary Olney, and that the Government ‘ has every reason to expect — pend- t ing negotiations will lead to an arly settle- ment of the dispute. Sir William Vernon Hare said he thought the House would regard Mr. Ba}- Alle statements as eminently satisfactory. rs.

Women Will Not Be Allowed to Ply Their Traffic on Olive Street. The police have determined to keep Olive street clear of street-walkers. Recently the fallen women living around Thirteenth and Pine streets have taken to patrolling Olive street between Twelfth and Tenth streets in such numbers that the proprietors of business houses on that thoroughfare have complained to Capt. O’ Malley. Since the first of this week a patrol wagon has been kept busy taking them in. Patrolmen Platzer, Peters and Skidmore have made the arrests and they have been kept busy until long after midnight. Thursday night they picked out a large doorway on Olive street, between Eleventh and Twelfth, and Skidmore was the guard. Platzer and Peters walked up and down the street and arrested every disreputable woman in sight. When they would get one or two they would march them back to the doorway and Skidmore would guard them until they got a wagon load. Then they would be driven to the Central Police Station and locked up. Among the women arrested were Clara Amers, Maggie Moran, Mamie Simpson, Marie Moore, Rose Lyons, Bessie eer, Hazel Barber, Mamie Hennessy and Minnie Smith. In the Police Court they are fined from $5 to $20 and sent to the Work-house to serve it out., Since Monday about fifty women have been arrested in the three blocks along Olive UNION MEN FIGHT. Rival Plasterers’ Organizations Get Together on Olive Street. Rivalry between members of ‘two plas- terers’ urrons came near precipitating a riot at Eighth and Olive street Thursday afternoon. W.N. Thornton applied at the warrant of- fice Friday and asked Col. Dick Johnson for a warrant against a gang who assaulted him and two fellow plasterers, Frank Phelps and Peter Henson. They are employed on the old Fagin building at Eighth and Olive streets, and are members of Journeymen Plasterers’ Union No, 1. A number of plasterers are at work on the Chemical building, and they are members of the Journeymen Plasterers’ Protective International Association. According to Thornton, two men, both named M ke Car- roll, are leaders of the Chemical building plasterers, and for several days the Car- rolls have been twitting Thornton and his companions for being ‘“‘scabs.’’ They were told they had no right to work in St. Louis, unless they were members of the union. Thornton said he and his friends were un‘on men, and were going to work as long ae they could find emplcoyment.*® This en- raged the plasterers on the Chem'‘cal build- ing, Thornton avers, and led by the Carrolls, they made an assault on Thornton, Phelps and Henson. Thornten says the men had knives and would have used them had not the pat- rolman stationed at the Federal building interfered. At Thornton’s request the of- ficer arrested the Carrolls, but released them withow%& making an investigation. Prosecuting Attorney Johnson referred Thornton to the police authorities. * Burial Permits. ‘ Theodore Brandt, 30, 4271 Natural Bridge road; abscess of liver.

Second Day of the National Meet Pro- duced Fine Sport—Fast Time in the Heats. LOUISVILLE, Ky., Aug. 14.—Yesterday’s events at Fountain Ferry Park only seemed to heighten the interést in the second day's racing of the National L. A, W. meet. It was noticed that Tom Cooper, after the spurt by which he beat Bald out In the two- mile national championship yesterday,doing thelasttwelfth in :074-5,appeared very much exhausted. It has been acknowledged that Cooper has a heroic task before him if he is to keep up his percentage of victories dur- ing the present meet, for he never before met so many fast men in such good condi- tion. He showed wonderful speed and en- durance yesterday, but the exertion told on him, and that fact gives courage to the fol- lowers of his rivals. The fact that Cooper's work is limited by his managers to but one race a day also suggests that while he is in perfect training, he may be at the point where a l.ttle over-exertion would prove se- rious. Bald and Cooper seem to divide the sym- athies of the crowds almost evenly and both are very popular. The minor features of the programme provided for the enter- tainment of the . A. W. members and visitors have been almost lost sight of in the crowning interest the races have aroused. The river excursion this evening, however, is expected to furnish enjoyable recreation. The usual crowd of visitors was at Fountain Ferry Park is morning at 9:30 o’clock to see the trial heats for the afternoon races. The programme includes the quarter, third and one mile national championships for amateurs and profes- sionals: the one and five miles State cham- pionships, a professional one mile open, a one mile tandem for professionals, two- thirds of a mile for amateurs and a two mile open race. The first event of the day was the one- third mile National gy egy for pro- fessionals and amateurs. he race was di- vided into three heats..

St. Louis Cyclists Showed Their Qual- ity at the National Meet. o a a ae =? . St. Louis cyclists did pretty wel) at Louis. ville yesterday, although not one of them won a prize in the final events. The amateurs, Howard, Coburn, Ham- mond, Canfield, McCarthy and Dougherty made the best showing, although the pro- fessionals, Will and Jack Coburn, qualified in their heats. Fred Hattersley, who was supposed to be the best of the St. Louis amateur crowd, disappointed his adherents by failing to qualify in the trial heats of the mile; Lou Coburn and Joe Howard were both knocked out in the final of the mile amateur. across in front of Coburn and brought down Howard also, when the St. Louis pair seemed good to finish one, two. Charley McCarthy and Dan Dougherty of this city ran one, two in the mile novice in front of a big field, which contained representatives from every town in the country. The result of the races were ‘ven in full in the 6 o’clock edition of yesterday’s Post-Dispatch. The account of to-day’s events will be fully covered in to-day’s paper. Don’t miss: it. OUTLAWS DECLARED PROS. The L. I. W. Slip Up on the Prize Limit Rules and Go Over the Line. When suspension from all legitimate track racing failed to intimidate the League of Independent Wheelmen from taking part in Sunday races-the Racing Board of the L. A. W. hit upon another scheme to keep them quiet. To this end all riders who have taken part in Sunday races have been declared professionals. It is expected that this will entirely debar them from confipeting in any track events Sunday or otherwise. The Sunday track races have always been given under sanction of the A. A. U. The Amateur Athletic Union takes no cognizance of the rulings of the L. A. W. as regards suspension for Sunday racing, but it does recognize the dictum of the Racing Board when it declares any man a professional. The man who is a profess‘onal in the eyes of the L. A. W. ts also one in the eyes of the Amateur Athletic Union. Therefore, since the Racing: Board has decreed that Messrs Barsaloux, Laux et al. are professionals, they are not eligible to — in events sanctioned by the A. The L. I. W. slipped up on a Httle “catch” in the L. A. W. rules. The racing rules de- clare that any man who competes for a prize value over $35 shall be declared a professional. In last Sunday’s races at the Fa‘r Grounds the prize in the two-mile handicap was valued at $40, or $5 beyond the limit. D. W. Robert, the shrewd represen- tative of the L. A. W., was on to itina flash, and recommended to the Racing Board that the following riders who com- peted be declared professionals: A. J. Bar- rett, Joseph Burger, Guy Erb, Joseph Laux, George Starke, William Van Doeren, Jerry Cronin, George Diettmeier, O. F. Kohr, J. Siegel, W. P. Haughton, Berry Russell, Charles G. Weinbrenner, D. 8S. Borton, Charlies C. Keiswetter, R. 8S. Armstrong, Charles Cra‘g, E. A. Brenner, F. Ka'ser, Ed Rother, W. Pfeiffer, J. B. Holloway, J. W. Lyons and Walter Klouberg. IN GOOD STANDING. The Sentences of Twenty-three Outlaw Cyclists Have Expired. Twenty-three cyclists who were suspended by the L. A. W. for competing in an un- sanctioned meet last summer “have once more become amateurs in good standing through. the expiration of their sentences. They are: J. W. Beeson, C. H. Buckley, J. W. Beall, F. Der J. H. Bor English, G. W. Gable. Gunther, ag ee ricus, Fred Goodall, O. L. Hynes, J. T. Hag- in, John Keiflein, J. B. Lacklamp, M. Mun- ger, J. M. Minges, C. W. McCready, W. L Miller, F.

Haverkamp Petitions for a Divorce From Her Husband. Meta M. Haverkamp makes serious alle- gations in her petition for divorce from Charles H. Haverkamp, filed Friday. They were married Oct. 22, 1885, and lived to- gether until Dec. 6, 189. Mrs. Haverkamp alleges that on Dec. 2, 1895, the defendant pointed a revolver at her and threatened to kill her, and that on the next day he seized a shovel and struck her. These events occurred at their home,” 3813 North’ Twentieth street, the a alleges, ahd were aecompanied by vile names and epithets. Mrs. Haverkamp alleges that on various occasions in the past five years, the defend- ant has violated his marriage vows, and particularly .with one Mrs. Mary Arm- brink at her home on Twelfth and Mont- gomery streets, with whom, the plaintiff says, he is now living as her pretended husband. The petitioner wants to have her husband deprived of all.interest in a house at 813 North Twentieth street, which she owns and occupies as a home. She says it cost $2,500 and had an incumbrance of $1,800, which the defendant has been paying off. * MWMARRIAGE LICENSES. Pure 18k Wedding Rings. Our prices the EB.

Mrs. Green came to Keytesville and ay swore out the warrant, which was put in the hands of Sheriff Dempsey, who, ac- companied by Ance Phillips, repaired at once to Green’s home, fifteen miles distant, and arrested him at his yard gate, Green qanes permission to get his coat before eaving home. The Sheriff left Green in charge of Phillips and went to the héuse himself. Green then ran, pursued by Phil- _ lips, who was soon joined by the Sheriff. . They ordered him to halt, and finally shot at him. One bullet from the Sheriff's gun took effect in the fleshy part of Green's thigh, and caused him to halt and surren- der. They brought him to town and he was committed to jail to await his prelim- inary hearing. Green has heretofore stood well in the community. He denies his guilt. Hattie Fry Is All Right.

Not being controlled by the money power, being as singularly free from the presence among its delegates of corporation attor- neys, great capitalists, railroad abypeonet sage and trust agents as the Indianapolis confer- ence was full of them, the Chicago Conven- tion gave perhaps a different definition to bert. property and law. It believed that the liberty of the individual cannot be long maintained in the face of legislation which at once taxes the poor for the benefit of the rich, and so juggles with the circulating medium of the country as to make the dollar which is hoarded and the dollar which is lent appreciate in value, while that which must be given for it, whether labor or wheat or propert painfully built up, goes down day after day in price. Liberty and pluto- cracy are incompatible. If the few may control the means of livelihood of the many there can be no liberty. It is only neces- sary to look about us to-day and note the devices adopted for coercion of the people into support of Mark Hanna and his peppet to estimate how slender a shred of libert the encroachments of plutocracy have left to the people. “Vote for Hanna,’ cry some to their employes, “or see wages cut and your positions forfeited.”” “Vote for our ticket,’’ cry others, “or oxpest such a call- ing in of loans by our banks and our trust companies that you will be ruined and our roperty put under the hammer. ote or us,”’ cry others, “or we will build you no more elevated railroads, we will charge you more to carry your wheat and cotton to we will repudiate your insurance olicies, we will even deny you a livelihood: ote for our man or we brand you as An- archists and Communists, and eelare you should be shot down.” To this sort of lib- erty” has the policy which the bogus Demo- erats of Indianapolis applaud brought the nation. Against such a sorry perversion of the freedom of thought and action for which our forefathers fought the convention at Chicago revolted with all the fierce fervor of the days of 1776. They talk to us of the security of private rights and preperty, these preachers 01 platitudes and distorters of truth. We ol the trueeDemocracy see private. property in the humble home or the Little farm house, and if either be burdened with a mortgage we insist that private rights are exetrably outraged by a monetary system which ex- acts two bushels of grain to pay for one, two days’ labor to earn the bill that stood for but one day’s work when borrowed. All rights are not comprised in the demands of the great moneyed corporations, all property is not bonds and mortgages and evidences of debt, all law is not for the protecton of the creditor, for the advan- tage of corporations, for aiding in the con- centration of wealth. Periods of depress.on in business are perhaps inevitable, but the eople -have a right to demand that the aw shall not be employed to multiply them. The right of the debtor is co-equal with that of the creditor, — . law which gives to the latter an unjust advan- tage Ay unjust law. The liberties of the people are best conserved by laws which aid in the diffusion rather than in the concentration of wealth, and the most in- alienable right of the people is the right to agitate for such laws without being co- erced by those possessing financial power or being pelted by epithets by those who have only malice. 4 The Indiana conference has called a con- vention with the avowed purpose of put- ting a Presidential ticket in the Bets, not with expectation of victory, but merely to aid in the success of the Republican party. Prating of individual liberty and private rights, it would enthrone Mark anna. Eulogizing Jefferson and Jackson, it classes with them Grover Cleveland and offers Mark Hanna as the fourth and final exponent of patriotism.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.—The Agricul- tural Department August report of fruit conditions is as follows: Apples—The gen- eral condition advanced during July from 64.6 to 65.7, a gratifying indication of sus- tained crop prospects. This general average covers all kinds of apples, early and late, in all sections of the country, commercially important or unimportant as producers, and the State percentages must be uged to determine the outlook for particular com-_| mercial supplies. Notwithstanding a gen- eral condition of 64.6 on July 1, which was law, as far as the crop of the country was concerned, it was specifically stated that “prospects for excellent crops” continued in States of the Northern belt, from Maine to Minnesota, and in Iowa, with fair but ols and Indiana. In the present report a very general betterment is shown in that region. Correspondents confirm their earlier judg- meng as to quality and add gratifying ~ formation as to the prospective high qual- ity of the fruit. The condition is very spot- ted in Ohio, Illinois and Indiana, man counties reporting entire failure, wh others report abundant crops, which ac- counts for the somewhat lower conditions of those States. It seems hardly necessary to inform those interested in the apple trade that the chief source of supply of winter or keeping apples is in this North- ern région, where conditions, both July 1 and Aug. 1, were in the main; high. o show clearly what these conditions mean a weight average for the thirteen States in- cluded has been computed, This stands at 83.6. In the past a final condition of 7 per cent or over has been followed by an abundant supply of re so that the ex- cellence of the crops of the present season, in this particular extensive region, is plaini evident. In other parts of the country wi a few exceptions the condition is low. Peaches— nt returns show generally reduced condition, Of the commercial States the best prospects Still are found in Dela- ware, Michigan, Ohio and Maryland, while in New Jersey, Virginia, Georgia and Cali- fornia percentages indicate less than half a crop. In Delaware the early crop was and fruit on the trees is badly stung there and in Maryland, though a fine product is expected from the mountain orchards of the latter State. In Michigan and Ohio excellent crops are indicated. Grapes—The condition of grapes is gener- ally high. Some complaints are made of rot, due to the excessively moist season, but seemingly not extensive enough to much affect the general ¢ondition. CHARLEY JOY’S OPPONENT.

Shelby registered. at the Laclede Biotel Friday morning and soon after break- fast put the Lehman boom on its trembling fegs and let it wobble. “T am not a candidate for Governor, gaid the General, “I am 67 years old—too @id for that sort of thing.

FLED ON THE WEDDING DAY. iv , Cruel Trick Played on Nellie Hensen by Martin Kirchner Sets the Gossips Talking. —— + re A weeping maiden, who is very pretty, and | a faithless butcher, who has fled from his |lady love, are-the cgntral figures in a little romance which furnishes food for all the | gossips around Tenth and Emmet streets. , The swain, not having the courage to enee 4 a disagreeable situation, has taken refuge in flight, not, however, until he arranged it so that his business would not suffer in his absence, The young girl must stay at home to be gazed at by all the women in the block, and to know that as she passes she is being talked about and pitied and laughed at by her sisters. The young man who fied is Martin Kirch- ner, who owns the butcher shop on the east side of Tenth street, just south of Emmet. From all aceounts he is a steady young man, with an eye to business and the main chance, and was, until he showed the white feather, a favorite with the women in the neighborhood. From his vantage ground behind the butcher shop counter he had a chance to survey all of the youth and beauty of the neighborhood. It was from that point that he first spied Miss Nellie Hensen, a pctite blonde, in a cute little straw bonnet and a neatly-fitting dress of light, fluffy stuff. Being no tyro in such matters, Martin naturally appreciated the charms of Miss Nellie. She had a nice low voice and dn odd way of looking out of the tops of her eyes which gave her a charming Quakerish air that won the heart of the sturdy butcher and soon landed him in the position of her “steady.” The ‘modest little home in which Nellie lives is diagonally across the street from Kirchner’s shop. The house is below the street level, and one must go down two or three steps to reach the level of the front door sil. The door of the front room opens right out on the street. It was in this cozy little parlor that Martin made love to the girl, and won her young affections. In that little parlor they talked over their affairs und decided that the only thing for ' them to do was to get married as soon as possible. With that end in view they launched upon one of these expeditions which are the joy of all young people who are about to get married. They went house hunting. ' They found just the piace for them, on Emmet street, between Ninth and Tenth streets, next to the alley. The house was freshly painted and br'ghtened up through- out. The rooms were scrubbed and scoured and the walls newly papered, In fact, every- thing was just as it should be, They went to several] time payment stores and other places to look at furniture. Mon- day the carpets were being laid and the girl was as busy as a bee getting her new little home in shape for occupancy not later than Thursday. Tuesday Martin called, as usual, and they were together for some time. He seemed as affectionate and caressing as ever and gave not the slightest sign of the trait which afterwards developed. The wedding was for Thursday n'ght. Thursday morning they were to go to the Court-house for the license. Thursday arrived, but Martin did not. He was not about the shop. is brother was there and said that Martin was not well and would not down that day. Then he said that Martin had left the city and would not be back for ever go long a time. The poor girl was- game to the end and bravely stood the shock administered to her pride and her feelings by, the base con- duct of her af_lanced. He had not left her a line nor @ Message of any kind to say | good-by. He had simply sneaked away.

Mphe girl sat desolate in the little front room half dazed at the cruel surprise she ad been given. nhe is not over it yet. She cannot talk about it without crying just a little and she does not like to talk about it at all. When seen at her home Friday morning there were begte in her pretty eyes as she came to the door. “TI don’t want to say anything about it, please. I wish you would wait a day or two, then maybe I can talk. After a little urging she added that the only reason she knew for Martin’s deser- tion was @ difference of reli; objection and opposition of h e brother in the shop clal totally ignorant of the whole aff be- ond the fact that his brother had asked him to take the shop while he was away. What led to his departure or “ye circum- stances connected with it he said he did not know. He admitted, however, that his brother Martin was to have been married and had failed at the critical moment, He says it was not cowardice on his brother's part, but some other reason.

Once fairly begun, the work is comparaitively easy, because one thing seems to lead another.”’ “I gee!’ replied: John, reflectively. Then a long silence fell between them. “Do go on!’’ said Mary, impatiently, at last. “Well, the fact is, Mary, I"—with con- siderable emphasis on the pronoun—‘‘find a difficulty in starting. I think I could go on if the subject were only begun. “Let me help you out,” said Mary, with an air of resignation. “There is a girl In it, 1 suppose?’ “Oh, yes!’ returned John very sesieney. “There is a girl in it, and an uncommonly nice girl..too.”’ . “Good gracious!” said Mary. “It is all easy enough.

I might as well invent a thing myself and have done with it, if you can't tell me straight off.” “T’ll tell yout” said John with the air of a man determined to make the plunge. “Only—Mary—promise me one thing. Don’t “—— at my story.’’ “Can I laugh if it is funny?’’ rejoined ary. “It isn’t,” said John. “‘Well, not ex- actly. Er—in fact, I don’t know how it will strike you. I meant, don’t laugh at my clumsy way of telling it.’’ “Of course not,”’ replied Mary kindly. “And I’m sure l'm very much obliged to you, John, for taking all this trouble.’’ “Well,” began John, “this girl—the girl I am thinking of, you know—lived at home with her mother and sisters. The father had died some years before, leaving just enough money to suppy their bare wants, but no more.”’ “T quite understand,”’ tone which had a good deal o feeling’’ in it. “Bo, of course,’’ went on John, “life was more or less of a struggle with them.

So, after a brief pause, John went on again. “Years before, when these girls were quite little, their father had shown a Bree’ kindness to an almost (friendless oy. Mary started, and a faint color crept into her cheeks, but John took no heed, and his voice became firmer and clearer. “To the action of that good man the boy owed whatever success came to him in after life. He never forgot this, and he often wendered how he could best repay the debt he owed.” John paused, but Mary did not speak. “And as time went on he found the debt increased rather than diminished. For though his first benefactor had asse away, he had left kindly hearts hind him. And as the boy grew into manhood he prized more and more the welcome he ever received from those good women, and soit a in the Rha + ~ yma A there was Oo spot so dear*to mas t n called one 7. or Again John paused, but Mary made no effort to break the silence. “He loved them all,” said John, “but’’— here a new tenderness crept into his voice —"‘he learned at last that for one of them he had the love which a man only gives to one woman in the world. She was not, I think, quite understood by her mother and sisters, much as they cared for her.

THERE IS A LAW AGAINST IT. Chief Harrigan and Col. Dick John- gon Working in Conjunction to Pun- ish Proprietor Silverstone. Every day that the Boston Drug Store remains open constitutes a separate and distinct violation of the State pharmacy law. The State Board of Pharmacy knows that the law is being violated every day, and that the drug store is a mere pretense. The police know that a cocaine joint exists at the corner of Twelfth street and Frank- lin avenue. Every negro fiend in the neigh- 'borhood knows that every day a dime’s worth of the stuff is used the man who sells it is a lawbreaker. There is plenty of law against selling cocaine or any other poison in the manner in which it is being sold at the Boston Drug Store. There is a penalty for each offense, and there is plenty of evidence that the offense is daily and nightly com- mitted at the joint in question. The State pharmacy section 4618, Revised Stat “Sec. 4618. Selling Poisons—Conditions, etc., penalty.—It shall be unlawful for any person to retafl any poisons enumerated in schedules ‘A’ and ‘B,’ except as follows: Schedule ‘A’—arsenic and its preparations, mercury, cyanide of potassium, hydrocianic acid, strychnia and all other poisomous vegetable alkaloids and their Salts, and the essential oil of bitter almonds. Schedule ‘B’—oplum and its preparations, except paregoric and other preparations of opium containing less than two grains to the ounce; aconite, belladonna, colchicum, conium, nux vomica, henbane, savin, ergot, cotton root, cantharides, creosote,veratrum, digitalis and their pharmaceutical prepara- tions, croton oil, chloroform,chloral hydrate, sulphate of zinc, corrosive sublimate, red precipitate, white precipitate, mineral acids, carbolic acid, oxalic acid, without ~ye the box, vessel or paper in which the sai poison is contained, and also the outside wrapper or cover, with the name of the artt- cle, the wofd ‘poison’ and the name and place of tusiness of the seller. “Nor shall it be lawful for any person to sell or deliver any poisons enumerated in echedules ‘A’ and ‘B,’ unless upon due inquiry it be found that the purchaser is aware of its poisonous character, and rep- resents that it is to be used for legitimate purposes. Nor shall it be lawful for any registered pharmacist to sell any poisons included: in scedule ‘A,’ without, before delivering the same to the purchaser, caus- ing an entry to be made in a book kept for that pu se, stating the date of sale, name and address of purchaser, the name of poison sold, the purpose for which it was represented by the purchaser to be required, and the name of dispenser—such book to be always open for inspection by the proper authorities, and to be preserved for at least five years. The provisions of this section shall not apply to the dispensing of poison in not unusual quantities or doses upon the rescriptions of practitioners of medicine. Nor shall it be lawful for any licensed or registered druggist or pharmacist to retail, sell or give away any alcoholic liquors or compounds as a beverage. Any person vio- lating the provisions of this section shall deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof, shall be fined not less than $25 nor more than $100 dollars. (Laws 1881, p. 132.)"’ Mr. Louis Silverstone of the Boston Drug Store may have a book, as the law roves. and he may on occasions go through with the formalities required, but in the vast majority of cases he does not. The 10 cents’ worth procured for the Post-Dispatch investigation was not regis- tered, nor was any pretense made at regis- tering it. In aH the other cases which frequent this place no registering is done. The negroes and white women who go there to snuff do not know what the book is, and probably could not sign it if they did. Should they even do that, the chances are that they would He with perfect freedom, bred of long practice. Mr. Silverstone is not a gentleman dis- posed to go to useless expense and a book to register all sales and a olerk to keep track of the book would cost money. There- fore it is dispensed with as an unnecessary luxury. chapter 58, issouri, law, utes of Chief Harrigan was asked what he pro- posed to do in the mattef and said: “Go and see Col. Dick Johnson and tell him that the department will render him al] the ald he wants in making a case against this man or any one else who runs a place of the same kind. We are just as anxious as you are to break up such an establish- ment.”’ -* ria a Prosecuting Attorney Johnson d: said: “IT will take hold of the case immediately and see what can be done. The law seems to cover this particular case, and I shall certainly look into the matter further. I cannot, of course, say just what my action will be, but I shall consult with Chief Des- mond, and I have no doubt but that we can find a way to stop this cocaine business in very short order.” A call was made at the drug store of F. W. Sennewald, Secretary of the State Phar- macy Board. The Secretary was out of the city, but his son, who acts for him while he is away, said: “My father has known of that place for some time and has done all he could to break it up. but without success. The board is so hampered for want of sufficient funds that it can really do but very little. The man who has the license for the store failed in his @¢xaminations twice before he finally succeeded in passing, but aside from that I understand that they employ unregistered clerks and in fact advertise for such. “Tf it can be shown in any way ‘that one of these clerks has put up a prescription containing, say a little morphine, it will be a very serious offense and can be punished severely. “T doubt, however, if you could get a prescription filled at the store where they sell the cocaine. You might do so, but I doubt it.” ‘The reason the pesres® of the place want their cocaine rolled for them after they buy it is to keep the druggist from adulterating it. As long as it is in the crystal they can tell if it is pure, Once it is in a pow- der it is hard to tell what it is.”’ Mr. Sennewald produced his poison book, in which is recorded every sale of, poison made in the past five years. It gives the date and hour of each sale, the quantity and kind of poison, the purpose for which it is to be used, and then the name, address and description of each purchaser. While exhibiting the book, Mr. Senne- wald said: ‘ ‘‘A legitimate druggist who conducts his business honestly and has nothing to fear would rather keep a book like this than not. Even if a purchaser signs a wrong name or gives a false reason for getting the drug, the seller is relieved of the main re- sponsibility, and if false representations have been made to him, it is the other per- sons who must suffer the penaity.”’ As a general proposition, Mr. Sennewald said that ary drug store which made it a practice of catering to trade such as is developed by the sale of cocaine or mor- phine was a disgrace to the profession and should be wiped out of existence. It is a fact that Silverstone hires for as little money as he can ufregistered drug clerks, some of whom know as much about making up prescriptions some police- men do about grammar. These clerks may or may not be called upon to compound medicines, but as long as they are em- ployed they are a menace to public safety. Just what steps the Police Department will take to break up the joint are not known.

The Ladies Are Still After the Park Commissioner About That McKin- ley Flower Bed. Now. Mr. Park Commissioner Ridgley, what have you to say for yourself? Members of the Woman’s National Bryan- Sewall club are anxiously awaiting reply to that question. That informal communication anent the campaign advertisement of William Me- Kinley in Forest Park, which was drawn up by the club, has been placed where Mr. liidgiey cannot fail to see it. he opens his desk Saturday morning. If Mr. Ridgley had been at his post of duty Friday morning he would have been enabled to answer thereby saving the city the cost of a post- age stamp. That he will go to that expense is .ac- cepted as a@ matter of course by the mem- bers of the club, as to ignore the matter would be an ingult to ail the women of St. Louis. Mrs. J. L. F.

With a lurking suspicion that Mr, Ridg- ley’s absence was premeditated and that subsequent visits would be as disappointing, the committee decided to leave the commun- ication at Mr. Ridgley’s office. The communication was printed in Mon- day’s Post-Dispatch. it requests the re- moval of Maj. McKinley’s name from the flower bed in Forest Park, where it is prom- inently displayed, or the setting out of Wm. J.

TRUNELL . MADE A FORTUNE. YROM PATENT MEDICINES TO BIC MINING DEALS. ———— SHE HAS HAD HER ROMANCE. The Astute Business Woman Whom Mrs. Morgner Wanted Arrested Tells Her Life Story. Mrs. Stella Trunell, late of Joplin, Mo., isn’t courting the notoriety that the wife of Dr. Kossuth Morgner has forced upon her, but she bears it stoically and defies her enemy. She declares that threats of prison bars cannot ewerve her from the purpose of asserting the integrity of her part of the business transactions that have caused all the unpleasantness. As told in Thursday’s Post-Dispatch Mrs. Morgner threatened to have Mrs. Trunell arrested for a fraud which she claimed Mrs. Trunell had perpetsases in trading tain zinc mines in the Joplin district to r. Morgner for a doszen two-story brick at houses on Chouteau avenue. But Mrs. runell is still a welcome guest at Hotel Moser, and the fraud warrant is still in the gt of the Prosecuting Attorney and is likely to remain there. The facility with which a lone widow @ame to town and scooped in a whole row of Gesirable brick flats, giving in exchange gome pertially developed zinc mines, opened the eyes of the lynx-eyed real] estate bar- mn drivers of Chestnut etreet. And now at this same widow has an office in their mnidst they will probably be on the qui vive when she makes propositions for a “deal.” Dr. Kossuth Morgner is known as a pretty ehrewd bargain driver himself, and when it became known that he had been outgener- eled—his wife used a stronger term—in a real estate deal, by a woman, and that a movemen: was on foot to set aside the trade on the charge of fraud and the hypnotic influence of the woman, his friends were in- clined to give him the laugh, especially in view of the fact that he didn’t appear as eee but that his wife played that role. it there-is anything irregular in the pass- -w P is % ae fa iogek Tid , ; ~ a ha * | Van Arsdale her maiden name.

The fact is, Mrs. Trunell says, all of the legal documents were drawn up by Dr. Morg- ner. Mrs. Trunell is a remarkably shrewd woman, and she has had a checkered career fm the business world. The blood of one ef the best families of Kentucky is in her veins. In her teens she was married to @ Mr. Van Arsdale, whose father had counted his slaves by the hundreds on his broad plantations down in the Mississippi delta, and who was 680 wealthy that not even the ravages of war had swept away all of his large fortune, and he left his ns snug legacies on which to commence eir business careers. Young Van Arsdale went to Louisville, y.. after the war. There he met Stella arunell and married her. He was then one of the leaders on the Louisville Board ot Trade, and he and his young wife lived n princely style and filled well their places in the social functions of the Four Hundred in the metropolis of the Blue Grass State. Though there had been five children born fo them, their married life did not con- Rinue smooth and blissful, and for reasons @he deemed sufficient Mrs. Van Arsdale sued for divorce. The husband had become ge plunger on 'Change, and the mar- et had turned against him. He lost money the thousands, and goaded by domestic roubles he grew desperate and plunged all he deeper, until the crash came and he ad to sell even his certificate as a mem- r «Sy Board -4 Trade. This was in , was a wreck, and the comfor patrimony of his wife had also been = se @way before she got the divorce. Before the end of the year of his great misfortunes an Arsedale was accidentally kicked by -a horse and died from the injuries. The decree of divorce had also restored I finally managed to get hold of two pretty good formulas for rheumatism and con- sumption. I advertised them freely, and in a little while I wae# able to start out on @ tour of the country. “I went to various cities, established my- self in good quarters, used the newspaper columns freely, and people flocked to me. Cure ‘em? Well, they thought so and I got the money. My children began to grow big enough! to got school and my sole ambition was to edu- cate them and ‘give them the position in so- ciety they had been born ta. I have done this fairly well, though three of them are confirmed invalids now, and I have to care for them more than ever. “Finally I quit the patent medicine busi- ness and went to New York, where I es- tabl.shed a smal! factory for medical instru- ments of a special] kind.”’ “How did you ever come to engage in the i business, and are you a mineralo- s ?”" “I never read a Work on mineralogy an hour in my life. I am not a mining expert, but I suppose some people would call me a mine speculator. “I suppose I imbibed the speculating idea from my husband, but I never. speculated in perishables, like he did. I wanted some- thing more substantial, and it struck me that a thing that had the earth for its basis would be a pretty safe thing to take risks on. “Then I have a brother in Old Mexico, who is interested in mines. I got him to buy me some stock in a mine down there and in @ year or two I disposed of it at a big premium. The next handsome profit I made was on the Silver Leaf mine, in Utah. Out of the proceeds of these I got my brother to buy me 10,000 acres of coffee land in Mexico, and in two years I sold it to a syndicate at a profit of $40,000. I lost a small fortune in some stocks in Colorado mines, and for a time was tame in my op- erations. “T read much about the Joplin zinc mines, and it occurred to me that there was a sure field for cautious speculation. My idea was to buy leases or the property outright, let other people work it and take royalties, or aevelop it myself and then sell the leases. I commenced at Joplin two years ago and during that time I have been the Presi- dent of three sucessful companies—‘For- a s ee DB.

I believe there are plenty of Ways whereby a woman can make an honest living if she has brains without unsexing herself.

The more modest *& woman is the easier she will get along.” Mrs. Trunell has purchased a handsome SHE SMOKED AND young women wheeled into grand drive at Forest Park, bowled gaily down the in- cline under the viaduct, until they came to ea nice grassy stretch. wheels together lay down to rest in the cool night air. bicycle costumes, shirt waists, skirts and leggings. her ideas as to the emancipation of women from the old style of dress. were nothing curves and display them in their full, rich roundness.

Sticking spurs into his animal] Capt. Rey- nolds’ man set sail for the fleeting figure. Her two girl companions mounted their wheels and followed. On, on, they went, turning and twisting through the devious windings of the park, with the bicycle procession in the rear of the policemen growing every moment. Wheelmen and wheelwomen fell in to see the result of the race. The girl in bloomers was a scorcher for your life. With a hump in her back like the hump in a hook and eye, she pumped away at those pedals of hers until engine- paced Anderson was discounted.

His retinue of wheelmen gave him the merry ha, ha, while the young woman who had caused all the trouble disappeared in the fast approaching darknegs with her two companions by her side.
