The Enthusiasm for Their Ticket Is Growing in Missouri, as It Is Elsewhere. The Republican National Committee has decided to pit Senator Julius Caesar Bur- rows of Michigan against William J. Bryan in Missouri. The deep-volced Senator from Michigan is billed to speak in St. Louis September 7 and in Kansas City September 8 He will be tn 6t. LBuls just about the time the Democrats expect to have their big State opening with Mr. Bryan as the star. Chairman Cook has received nothing more definite than that Mr. Bryfin can be here some time between the ith and 10th of Sep- tember. It is now settled that Mr. Bryan will arrive in Lincoln, Neb., on his return from his Hastern trip Sept. 5. It is expected that his St. Louis appoint- ment will be his first speech after his re- turn and will really be the opening speech of his Southern tour. The Democrats expect to show a strong contrast between the size of the crowd which gathers to hear Burrows and that which will try to hear William J. Bryan. Chairman Cook of the State Committee has received so many letters from all parts of the State asking for information about the opening that he is confident the Audi- torium will not hold half the enthusiastic free silver men who will come to hear the Democratic candidate for the Presidency. It is the hope of the Democrats that Mr. Bryan may come the day the Republican goldbug from Michigan speaks, so that the public may have an opportunity to judge of the division of sentiment in the State as between gold and silver. At Democratic headquarters Saturday was Judge James Baker, one of the promi- nent citizens of Springfield. Until recently Judge Baker was a Republican, but the adoption of the single gold standard by the Republicans in their national and State platforms was more than he could stand. fe is an outspoken free silver man and will vote the Democratic State and national tickets this fall. Judge Baker was formerly on the State Supreme Court bench. He was appointed as a Republican by Governor Fletcher. He was algo the first general attorney of the "Frisco, and at one time owned the entire railroad. He has also been Attorney-General of Iowa, elected on the Republican. ticket. Judge Baker says that the free silver Republicans will not vote for the gold standard candidates and that the “middle of the road’’ Populists are little better than Republicans in disguise. In addition to the ftinerary of Senator F. M. Cockrell heretofore published, speeches @t these places have been arranged for: Monday, Oct. 6, Wellsville. Tuesday, Oct. 6, Huntsville. Wednesday, Oct. 7, Keytesville. Thursday, Oct. 8 Lexington. Friday, Oct. 9, Independence. Saturday, Oct. 10, Marshall. To-day thresa big free silver picnics are being held in the State. Judge T. P. Bashaw is to speak at the one at High Hill: D. A. Ball will speak at the one at Stewartsville, while local speakers will take care of the one at North Callaway. HER DOWRY IS FIVE MILLION.

Will Split the Difference Between Tariff and Currency. Bpecial to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 22.—Gov. Mc- Kinley’s letter of acceptance will be made public in a few days. It is #@ syndicate ar- ticle and the McKinley syndicate has care- fully revised it to suit it. From indications within easy reach of ublican headquarters the letter will eal as much with the tariff as with the currency question. Forced by the Republi- oan platform to favor international bimetal]- lism, he will try to explain why the United ought to wait for a good thing until ag is ready to drink at the same foun- tain, but at the same time he will urge that ® high protective tariff is the panacea.

J. OC. WHITNEY HAS AN EXCITING ENCOUNTER WITH ONE. FIRED THREE SHOTS AT HIM. The‘ House of Attorney T. 8S. Burnett Was Also Tackled, but the Thief Failed to Secure Entrance. Burglars have again commenced their depredations in Tuxedo Park, the little suburb near the western city limits. Early Saturday morning they entered the residence of J. C. Whitney, only to be driven away by bullets from Mr. Whit- ney’s revolver, At the same time other members of the gang were attempting to get Into the house of T. §. Burnett, the St. Louls attorney, which adjoins Mr. Whit- ney’s place. They were frightened away by the pistol shot before gaining entrance. The attempted burglaries occurred about 4a. m. At that hour Mr. Whitney, who was asleep up-stairs, ee he heard strange noises on the ground floor. He listened with the cold chills creeping up his sp.na column, thinking all the while of Saloon- sees Joyce’s encounter with Burglar Jenkins a week ago. But Mr. Whitney was game, despite the chills. He got his revolver and, clad only in his pajamas, started to creep down stairs. « Every step creaked loud enough, it seemed brought back a choice stock of cool weather | the temperature here has exceeded 10 de- | | | | ‘connects with all outside to the excited man’s imagination, to wake (up the dead, but he kept right on going. | There was nobody in the front hall, par- lor or dining room, so Mr. Whitney slipped on back into the kitchen, Here he listened again and could hear plainly the sound of some one scratching ' about in the pantry. It was very dark, but Mr. Whitney rather liked that. He crept around until he could get a good square shot into the pantry door and let go. There was a howl of fear from the pantry and a fearful hubbub. Mr. Whitney let go again and then a dark form darted out and sprang head first through an open window in the kitchen into | the back yard. As the figure sped through the yard Mr. Whitney fired again, but the man kept right on going and disappeared. An investigation revealed the fact that the burglar had gotten in through the kitchen window by which he had made his escape. He was evidently hungry and entered the pantry to fill up before beginning his search for valuables that he could carry off without putting them in his stomach. Lawyer Burnett was aroused next door by the fusillade of pistol shots, and, for that matter, so were half the neighbors. Thev all came filing out, and then Mr, Purnett found that some one had been try- ing to get into his place. A hole had been cut through the wire screen to the kitchen door, but the main door had not been urfastened. The rum- pus in Mr. Whitney’s house had evidently stopped operations. It is a lucky thing for the burglar that he was frightened away, for had he stuck to his work the chances are he would have been electrocuted in a very few minutes. Mr. Burnett has his whole house wired with a patent electric burglar alarm. It doors and win- dows, and is so arranged that by connec- tion with a powerful galvanic battery, a ' paralyzing shock is given to anyone monk- ! eying with the entrances. When Mr. Burnett ran downstairs, after being aroused, he saw a figure running east in the direction of the Webster branch of the Suburban Railway. DARING ROBBERY. A Big Tramp Loots a House After Frightening Miss Maud Fallis Half to Death. A daring robbery was committed Thurs- day afternoon at 3127 Olive street.

A. Fallis, modiste. Mrs. Fallis left town Wednesday, to be leaving everything in charge of her daughter, Miss Maud Faliis, aged about 18. At 3 o’clock Thursday afternoon, while there was no one on the premises but Miss Fallis and the housemaid, a tramp rang the bell, and asked for food or money. Miss Fallis had nothing to give him, and fter the tramp left, returned to some work Five minutes later, having occasion to go upstairs, Miss Fallis, while walking along the hall, looked through e side door, leading into the parlor, and was startled to dis- ' cover the figure of a man standing be- ‘tween the front and back parlors, which ' are connected by folding doors. Miss Fallis screamed to the man to go away, instead of which he began to ad- vance in her direction. In a panic of fear the young woman flew upstairs, three steps at a time, into the servant's room, where the maid was waiting for her, and locked the door be- hind her. Less than five minutes after Miss Fallis recovered her presence of mind, she ran to a window in a front room and gave the alarm. A furniture wagon was passing at the time, and the driver at once went to the res- cue. But the tramp had disappeared. In a@ wardrobe in the rear parlor, Miss Fallis had locked up her purse, containing $20 in money and a photograph of herself. The purse and contents were gone. Miss Fallis is sure that the wardrobe was locked, so it is evident that the robber was an experienced hand and provided for emergencies. The tramp is described as an elderly man, in a blue shirt, dark trousers. He wore 3° coat, and was tall and powerfully built. The police are working on the case. The Roof Ablaze.

MARY WASN'T SUCH A BABY. SHE WAS BIG ENOUGH TO ELOPE WITH HARRY KANE. HOW SHE FOOLED HER MOTHER. Mrs. Everding Was So Shocked When She Found Her Daughter Gone That She Appealed to the Police. Late Friday night Chief Kiely and Chief of Detectives Desmond were sitting on the Twelfth street steps of the Four Courts building watching the shooting stars over the Auditorium and wishing on them that they had Mickey Mack. While they were sitting there and wish- ing @ woman and two young men came up and asked to see the Chief, “What do you want?” asked Chief Kiely. “Tt’s about an elopement,’”’ said one of the young men. ‘Come this way,” replied the Chief, as he led the party into the office. The woman proved to be Mrs. Mary Ev- erding of No. 2331 Atlantic street, and the two young men were her sons. The whole party had had a very bad afternoon search- ing high and low for Mary, who will not be 146 until December, but who had gone off with a young man for the evident purpose of getting married. y The young man in the case is Harry Kane, who has been employed in the Terminal As- sociation freight department, on - Tenth street, near the railroad tracks. Harry is a very nice boy, and has some sisters who are known to Mrs. Everding. They all live at Fifteenth and Gratiot streets. , Harry began to pay his attention to Mary about three months ago, but Mary’s mother thought nothing of it because she had nox otten rid of the idea mothers so often ave that her Mary was still a baby. Har- ry came and went several times a week, and was always welcomed because of his nice manners and generai good conduct, With a diplomacy worthy of a more ex- perienced young man, he was always very attentive to Mrs. verding, the _ girl's mother, and never lost a chance to appear well in her eyes. Things went on the even tenor of their way until Thursday, when the first seeds of doubt were planted by the small boy brother of Mary. His name is Tommie, and like all smal! brothers he had a keener insight into affairs than did the old folks. Thursday he went to his mother and said: ‘“‘Mamma, I heard Harry and Mary talk- ing and I think they are going to get mar- ed.”° ret along with your nonsense,” said Mrs. Everding, who would not listen to such a preposterous proposition as sug- gested by the boy. “Why, Mary is only a baby anyhow,” thought Mrs. Everding, and she dismissed the subject from her thoughts until Fri- afternoon. ae riday morning it was planned between Mary and Harry and Harry's sisters that they should all go on @ big picnic to Creve Coeur Lake. Baskets of luncheon were pre- pared and there was much running to and fro between the house on Atlantic street and the one on Gratiot. Finally, the party started, while Mrs. Everding stood upon the front step smiling and wishing them a happy day at the lake. Despite the warning of little Tommie, there was never & doubt in the mind of Mrs. Everding until 3 o’clock in the afternoon, when a young man living in the ngighbor- ood who knew both Harry and Mary came and told her that he had learned that aia not go to the picnic, but had gone elieville for the purpose of getting mar- n th to ried. This information knocked Mrs. Everding all in a heap, and confirmed the suspicions of Tommie. A hasty search was instituted and it was found that Mary had, with great cunning, removed from the house all of the wearing apparel she owned. Every stitch of it was gone, 4s if it had melted away. Harry is said to have been seen with a bundle of clothes under his arm as he and Mary were heading for the Belleville train. The picnic party came back without Mary, and could give no account of what had be- come of her nor her young admirer. At the place where young © works he was re- Belleville not to issue a license, and then the aid of the police was invoked to hunt up the two wayward children and bring |} them home to their respective mothers, A call was made at the Everding resi- dence, on Atlantic street, shortly after noon_ Saturday. Mary had returned, but noni WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 22.—There is excellent authority for saying President Cleveland will write a letter to some friend at the Indianapolis gold standard national convention opposing the indorsement of Mc- Kinley for his protectionist views and favor- ing the nomination of a Democrat who be- lieves not only in the maintenance of the present standard, but in a tariff for revenue only. It is said, however, he may include a suggestion that it may be advisable later in the campaign to withdraw this third tick- et if it shall appear that the gold standard cause is thereby jeopardized. FISHING BOAT RUN DOWN. Italian Ship Sinks a French Craft Near the Scilly Islands. FALMOUTH, Aug. 22.—The Italian ship Francesco Ciampa, Capt. Maresca, 1,698 tons, which sailed from Swansea on Aug. 19 for San Francisco, has returned and put in here with her bows badly damaged. She reports having been in collision with and having sunk the French fishing boat Mouotte on Aug. 20, forty-five miles north- west of the Scilly Islands. Ten of the fishermen were savei, but fourteen were drowned. COMMITTED SUICIDE. Mrs. Searles Was Worried by Financial Trouble. Special to The Post-Dispatch. EUREKA, Ill, Aug. 22.—Mrs. Valborg Searles, wife of City Attorney I. A. Searles, committed suicide by shooting herself through the head. She was thirty-one years of age and had only been m four months. The jury brought in a verdict of suicide, cau by temporary despondency over the financial troubles of her family. GOING TO EUROPE.

PRESIDENT WILL ACCEPT. Man in the Cabinet and He Was Lonesome. ! WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.—The Associated Press is in a position to state definitely and certainly that Secretary Hoke Smith has resigned his Cabinet portfollo and that the resignation will be accepted by Presi- dent Cleveland, For some days past shipments have been made to Atlanta of his books and papers, and it is learned that he has declined to set any departmental] business to be heard by him for a date later than this month. It can safely be assumed that a successor After the nomination of Bryan and Se. it became known that Secretary Smith we the only member of the Cabinet who an nounced the purpose to support that tick- et, and that this action on his part, while not in any way affecting his personal rela- tions with the other members of the Cabi- net, seemed so material to him that he felt constraintd to tender his resignation. The Secretary declines to discuss the subject In any way. resignation of Secretary Smith, there has been more or less gossip concerning his probable successor at the Interior Depart- ment, and the name of John M. Reynolds, the second assistant Secretary of the De- partment, has been mentioned frequently for the place. ; Mr. Reynolds has made an utive officer. He has ficult work of review of pension decision’ the Pension Bureau and has given ~ satisfaction. He is a native of — vania. The new Cabinet officer w. only a little more than six months to’sefve and it is regarded as probable that Mr. Cleveland would prefer to fill the vacancy from the department rather than fill the place by appointing some one who would be new to the work, which involves acquaint- ance with a great variety of matters af fecting directly the public welfare, CAME TO THEIR SENSES. Canadians Have Ceased Their War Upon American Money. Special to the Post-Dispatch. QUEBEC, Aug. 22.—Canadian war upon American silver dollars and paper money is relaxing. The ameunf of discount has been reduced in general trade, and in many cases the money is taken at par, The banks are still endeavoring to keep up the boy- cott, it is true, but this is altogether, from interested motives. They find that the American money in Canada interferes with their own circulation, e The issue of the notes of Canadian banks amounts to nearly $32,000,000, and for get- benks one- ting these into circulation the their brokers a percentage oO one-quarter of 1 per cent. The more ican money the banks can furnish, the of their own notes they can circulate. as an excuse for levying the presen count, Now that people have had time to re- flect upon the situation, they have the motives underlying the action the banks and have realized that mo is at par in the United States cannot worth much less here.

He Talks About the “Free Trade _ Heresy” and Predicts Victory for Himself. _ — -_—- CANTON, O., Aug. 22.—Two thousand farmers, mechanics and other citizens of Newcastle, Elwood and other parts of Law- rence County, Pa., started for Canton this morning in special trains over the Baltimore & Ohio to call on Major McKinley. They reached Canton shortly before noon. Along their long journey they had many recruits. When they had paraded to the McKinley home 6,000 people crowded over the bare lawn and surged intogthe streets around about. And then it rained while bands played, and thousands of enthusiastic voices echoed and cannon boomed and steam cal- liopes lent their noise to the medley of the crowd. The people stood through the rain for an hour. JZhey waved their banners and beat their tin helmets. They carried inscriptions, ‘We want back the good old McKinley times,”’ “We want the furnaces and factories started, not the rich men’s sil- ver mines,’ “Honest money and a chance to earn it.”’ The presentation was made by ex-Con- @ressman Oscar L. Jackson, who sad: “Most of our people are as familiar with your public career as are those of your Own district, and we are proud of our right to call you neighbor as well as fellow- citizen of this great country. Your nom- ination was not obtained by self-seeking, neither was it the result of accident, or the impulse of the moment. For years no Other oltizen was so well known and none so often mentioned throughout the whole land as a suitable candidate for that great office. So certainly had public sentiment designated you as the fit man for the place, that the convention seemed to meet only for the purpose of ratifying the choice, This large delegation represents a} clasees of citigens of our country—farmers, merchants, students, professional men and the work- men from mines, mills and factories. But we are one in sentiment and are bere to honor you as the most distinguished friend of the American system of protection. We “now that this system benefits all classes ‘wally and we have enjoyed a fair share the prosperity that attends it. Under it ir country has been developed, wealth has ccumulated and good wages have been paid. “It will not admit of doubt that a large majority are now in favor of protection. That is the real question to be settled this ‘fear and we want to do our part to keep his before the people. We consider the much-talked of question a false issue raised by designing men for selfish purpos- es. Republicans are not asking for any change in this respect. For many years we have had good money and we only want it kept good. We claim that it is best to occupy a leading place among the great nations of the earth. Undoubtedly, then, we should have money that is recognized as the best the world over. We are not the people that should go back to cheap, poor money, and when that question does come up we want all we have to be good— equal to the best.” Then Maj. McKinley mounted a chair on his stoop to respond to the sentiments of Col. Jackson, calliope?, cannon, bands and myriads of human voices repeated their first ovation. Major McKinlay spoke as follows: “Mr. Jackson and My Fellow-Citizens of Lawrence County, Pennsylvania: It gives me very great pleasure to welcome the citl- zens of a neighboring State to my city and to my home. I note with great satisfaction *he message which your eloquent spokesman ings to me, that the people of Pennsyl- ‘® have lost none of their devotion to the principles of the Republican party t this year they will give to the Re- i national ticket an unrivalled Re- n majority. (Cries of “‘We will do all right.’’) Nor am I surprised, my fello®-citizens, that this is so. We have had three years of bitter experience under a policy which the Republican party has al- ways opposed; and there has been nothing in that experience to win us to that policy, but everything to increase our devotion to the old policy of protection which stands op- posed to it. (Applause.) to meet my distinguished Col. Jackson, with whom I serve in the Congress of the United States, and to again hear his eloquent voice, as I have often heard it In the halls of the National House, speaking for the geréat doctrines of the Republican party, doctrines the suc- ceas of which involve the highest prosper- ity and welfare of the American people. (Cheers.) “My fellow-citizens, the earnest thought of the people this year is directed to the resent condition of the country and how est to improve it. This is the thought of every mind and the prayer of every soul. Nobody ts satisfied with our unfortunate busl- ness condition and the great body of the le want and’ mean to have a change, Vhat shall the change be? Shall it be the continuance of the present Democratic under another feadershin (Cries of |) a leadership advocating all the Olicles of the Democratic party which have een “injurious to the American people and rejecting all which are good, wholesome and patriotic, and which have received the proval of the people of the country? reat cheering and cries of ‘No.’) The Wing of the Democratic party which con- trolled the Chicago Convention is just as much in favor of free trade as the wing ‘€ the Democratic party in control of the ational administration. (Applause and _ries of ‘That is so.’) Most of those prominent in that conven- tion were conspicuous leaders in the assault upon our industries and labor made by the Fifty-third Congress. They are devoted to this un-American and destructive policy, and were chiefly instrumental in putting up- on the statute books tariff legislation which has destroyed American manufacturing, checked our foreign trade and reduced the demand for the labor of American working- men. (Loud cries of “You are right.’’) It stands opposed to reciprocity, too, the splendid results. of which were so signally anifest during the administration of Pres- t Harrison. (Applause.) The ple of this country have con- dem the policies of this party in this particular in every election since 1892. (Ap- lause and ‘‘That’s so.’’) They are only wait- now for a chance to register again, and all along the line unite their opposition to thie free trade heresy in the general elec- tion next November. (Applause.) If ¢here was, therefore, but one ques- tion—that of protection against free trade— we have it just as sharply drawn and as distinctively presented through the Chi- cago Convention wing of the Democratic arty as we had it through the United tates in 1892, and a triumph this year for the Chicago platform would be a signal Victory for fiee trade and for the continu- ance of free trade legisiation, which has already resulted so disastrously to the American. people, and entailed upon the Government deficient revenues, upon the ople diminished trade abroad and starva- ion wages at home. (“That's gso0."’) This wing of the Democratic party believes nor Only in free trade, but It believes in free silver at a ratio of 16 to 1. (Cries of “Down with free silver.) Having dimin- ished ovr business, they now seek to di- minish the value of our money. CARRIAGE FAILURE. The T. T. Haydock Company of Cin- cinnati Had to Quit. CINCINNATI, O., Aug. 22.—The T. T.

Attorney Marshall McDonald created a small sensation at the Four Courts Satur- day morning, when he was denied admis- sion to the jail. A prisoner had requested Mr. McDonald, by letter, to call.on him at the jail. The attorney called early Saturday morning, and the guard told him he would have to get an order from the office. Deputy Jailer Will Wagner was not there, and the young man in charge had not the author'ty to is- sue a pass. ’ Mr. McDonald waited until after 10 o’clock to get in, and no one came to issue the pass. He finally made another effort to induce the guard to let him in, but his pleadings fell on deaf ears. Mr. McDonald told the guards his opin- fon of them and their rules, and as he passed the office he gave an oral message to the clerk to deliver to the jailer. The message dealt with the general in- efficiency of the jail and everybody con- nected with its management. BURNED TO DEATH. Two Women and a Child Perish in On- tario.

Unless Henry Kelly Is a Romancer, He Has Led a Life Filled With Interesting Adventures. There is a man in the St. Clair County jall at Belleville who is either the champion liar of three continents or a personage with a very interesting and stirring history. He was arrested at Bast St. Louis on May 21 on suspicion of having had a hand in burglarizing the residence of Larry Mooney, near the Relay Depot, and bound over to He has been in jail ever since, and by reason of the variegated as- sortment and hair-raising character of his narratives, has become Turnkey Harry Burke's star boarder. Whether his unique- ness consists in his thorough-goilng cosmo- politanism or his versatile imagination is not easy to determine. He claims to have been a member of the Stanley relief expedition and one of only about half a dozen who still survive. His name is Henry Kelly, but despite his celtic petreaymis he calls himself a French Cana- ian, and barring the faintest gs ay of a brogue there is nothing about him to dis- credit the claim. Turnkey Burke heard of his African sto- ries through some of the prisoners, and told a Post-Dispatch man, who yesterday had a talk with Kelly in the jail office. * Kelly insisted that he was what— he Claimed, and told a disjointed story of that terrible journey into the heart of the Dark Continent after the explorer who did not wantto be rescued. “IT was in London in 1881 and 1882,” he said. “I don’t remember dates, and as I had seen pretty much all the rest of the world, I thought I would like to get acquainted with the nigger country. was a sailor then, and as tough as leather, and they took me all right, but we had to train six months before we started. We went from London to Cape Town by steamer, and struck into the interior from there. “I don’t know how long we. were finding Stanley. The fierce heat and the ravages of the fever, the struggles with the fero- cious animals of the jungles and the more ferocious natives, caused us to lose all interest in the days of the week or the passage of time. One day was the same as another, and each day seemed a month. “It all seemg a nightmare to me now. I got a touch of sun, and the fever had hold of my brain for days, and since that my memory has been queer. “I know that progress was mighty slow. We had to cut our way through the jungles, and if I could remember, you wouldn't be- mere how many days it took us to go a mile. “We had one big fight with the natives on the journey into the interior, and killed a lot of them. They didn’t know what to make of our guns. They thought they were pipes, and took the barrels in their mouths and ‘drawed.’ Some of them never ‘drawed’ any more. “We traveled mostly at night, and one night along toward daybreak, we came upon Stanley’s camp. We didn’t know it was near until we came in sight of it. Stan- ley was sick, and there were only a few — men with him, the rest all being na- tives. “Well, you know all about that. On the way back the natives surrounded us, and kept us in a pocket for several days, but finally we killed their, Chief, and then they all ran away. “We passed through a monkey settlement, and several thousand of them followed us for two days, heaving cocoanuts and things at us all the time. They were the smallest monkeys I ever saw. I think they could talk, but they didn’t want to give them- selves away. “We were gone nearly two years, and I Saw and experienced enough to fill a book, but my memory’s got holes in it. I think alive. We got a great reception in London, but we were too near dead to care for that. I lay in the hospital for months, and then I went to Jerusalem. I have been rov- ing ever since. “Have I gota trade? Well, I'm a sort of a shoemaker, but I make a living at the variety business.’’ ‘What line?” “Oh, song and dance, contortion or tra- peze. I generally work the frontier towns on my own hook. There’s more money in it that way.”’ “Ever been in trouble before?”’ “Not this kind, and say,’’ becoming less grammatical as his earnestness grew, “they've got the wrong man this time. The duck that did that job gave the Fast St. Louis police the hot pedal and they took me in his place. Them detectives down there are out of sight, I don’t think. But they can catch innocent men easy. “Tt was this way. I was waiting at the Relay for my train. Freight? Well, may be; and a fellow comes up to me and he says, ‘Have a drink?’ “and says I, ‘All right.’ ‘ ‘“ *We can get more if we get a can,’ says he, and I goes over to this Mrs. Mooney’s, but I didn’t know who lived there, and bor- rowed a bucket. Then we drank our beer and I goes away. After a while I passed the house again and there’s a kid stand- ing in front talking to this Mrs. Mooney. “T goes down to the Relay again and aits down on the same truck, and after a bit here comes the kid and a detective and he says he saw me drinking with the other fellow. “T found out afterwards that while the kid was giving the woman a talk the other fellow was gathering up the silverware and clocks and so forth at the other end of the house. He got away, but me and the kid have been here ever since. “When I get out of here I think Ill go back to Africa. They’ve got no jails there. Them people are white.” Kelly is not a ba4-looking fellow, but ho seems every inch the traveler he claims to be. Aggressive self-reliance is stamped on his face and he looks as though he would be at home in any company, however reckless or desperate. His eye is the only thing about him that gives a hint of his faulty memory. It is large and of a @iercing black, but he cannot hold it steady. He is an unsatisfactory talker. He jumps from the jungles of Africa to the Black Hills, and from Texas to the northern woods or across to Jerusalem with the greatest facility, and it keeps one busy calling him back to his story. He has been a very quiet prisoner, and is popular with all with whom he comes in contact, especially the children of Sheriff Philip Rhein, to whom he tells African stories in Chinese. “BUCK” NELSON DISCHARGED. Judge Peabody Gave Him a Lecture, but Let Him Go. William, alias “‘Buck,’’ Nelson was given a long lecture by Judge Peabody in the First District Police Court Saturday morn- ing, and the charge against him of associat- ing with thieves was dismissed. Nelson walked out of the court-room a free man. Nelson, who had not been out of the pen- ym arrested last Tuesday night with Denny Collins in connection with the street car hold-up. Collins was identified as one of the high- waymen, but the charge could not be sub- stantiated against Nelson, and he was sent to the Police Court as an associate of thieves. Judge Peabody would not allow the rosecution to push the case too strong, as he sympathized with the ex-convict. In dismissing the case the Court told Nelson to reform and not to loaf around with thieves, warning him that if he went back to his old associates he would have bim deported from the city. , - Body Taken From the River. The dead body of a man was taken from the river at the foot of Loughborough street Saturday morniwg. The body was that of a man apparently 32 years old, with a sandy mustache and wearing a dark suit to the Mor of clothes, gue, j where & awaits there were only eight or ten of us got back | THROUGH A SKYLIGHT] A Painter’s Awful Injuries, and Mar- velous Escape From Death by a Fall. Milvin Crigler, a painter, 32 years old, whose home is in Hannibal, Mo., is sorely injured, and is being nursed at the Baptist Ilospital. He thinks he’s in luck not to be dead, Crigler was at work on a ladder painting the top of the Burlington Railroad freight house at Second and Franklin avenue, Sat- urday morning. The ladder slipped and he fell backward, landing on the skylight of Quarter-inch glass about ten feet below. As he crashed through the skylight, sharp leces of the thick glass were buried deep n his thigh and back and the arteries in the left arm and hand were almost severed by the glass. He caught on one of the iron bars in the skylight and held himself there until sev- eral fellow workmen reached him and pulled him back on the roof. he rescuers were none too quick, for Crigler was so exhausted from the loss of blood that in a second more he would have gone whirling through space to the floor 80 eet below. He was taken to the City Dispensary in an ambulance and Dr. Lippe devoted a half- hour to picking the glass out of his anat- omy and bandaging up the gashes, The doctor extracted four pieces of glass from an inch to two inches long and a half inch wide from the thigh. BEER AND WATERMELON. The Combination Made Charley Blanke Thirst for Blood. Mrs. Mary Hammond and her two sons, Herman and Henry Vollmer, were callers at the warrant office Saturday morn-ng. As a result a warrant was issued against Charley Blanke for assault and battery. Mrs. Hammond says the trouble all arose over beer and a watermelon. The beer was in Blanke and her boys had the watermelon. i Blanke lives at 2819 North Blair avenue, The Vollmer boys live with their motner at 1450 Wright street. Friday evening they were carving a melon, when Blanke came by. He invited himself in and was given a slice. He did not think he had been given as large a piece as he was entitled to and he hurled his slice at Henry, striking him in the face. Henry then shied a piece at Bianke and caught him square on the nose. He Was angered beyond all restraint, and p:cking up a large butcher knife, made for Henry. Mrs. ammond saw her son's peri and ‘cast herself between’ the belligerents. |Blanke would brook no intereference }and Mrs. Hammond says he raised the knife, as if to plunge it into her breast, saying ne would kill her. She is large and powerful, and grasping him by the wrist prevented him from doing her harm. In the meantime she called lust- lly for the police. None were in hearing, but the neighbors, attracted by her scrcams, rushed to her rescue. Blanke saw them coming, and breaking loose, dashed east on Wright street, with a large crowd in hot pursuit. He was fleet of foot and made his escape. Mrs. Hammond said Blanke was a des- |perate character. Only a few weeks ago, she says, he beat h.s old father scandal- ously and was arrested for it. The Acting Assistant Prosecuting At- torney issued the warrant. CAN’T STAY IN ST. LOUIS. “Big Mit’? Men Given Till Tuesday to Emigrate. George Clark and Frank Ketchen are the | be in town. In the First District Police Court Saturday they were given until 8 p. m. next Tuesday to ahake the dust of St. Louis from their feet, They were arrested Friday by Detectives Dewar, Howard and King at Union Station | where they had been loitering for severa | days. | Clark and Ketchen came to town about | two weeks ago with two other men, one of i them Dick Sutton. They hung around the | saloons abeut Union Station, and several |days afterward Sutton was arrested for i swindling a man out of $40 in Forest Park on the old lock game. he victim did not show up to prosecute and Sutton was given hours to leave town. Since then Clark and Ketchen had not been seen about the station until Thursday, when they put in an appearance and were noticed watching incoming trains. Chief Desmond was notified and Detective Dewar was assigned to watch them. Thursday and Thursday night Dewar fol- lowed them long enough to convince him that they are what are termed “big mit’ men. A “big mit” man is one who plays a con- ddence game or swindles by unfair cards or dice, or who uses other tricks to defraud. Consequently the arrest was made Friday morning when Ketchen and Clark appeared at Union Station. They were Kept in the holdover all of Friday so that the detective force could get a good look at them, but no one knew them. CONTESTING A WILL. Herman Lindeman’s Children Suing Their Stepmother. Antoinette Sehr, Karolina Von der Haar and Louisa Schneiders filed suit Saturday to break the will of their father, Herman Lindeman.

Burglars Attack Citizens in Chouteau Place and Poison Dogs by Wholesale. e~, Burglars are abroad in Chouteau place. They are poisoning house dogs by the | wholesale that they may the more effectual- ly accomplish their evil designs.

Lists From Many Places in Both States of Men Who Revolt at the Gold Platform. Special te The Post-Dispatch. SEDALIA, Mo., Aug. 22.—One of the most noteworthy conversions to the cause of free silver in Pettis County is Colonel Richard Ritter, a gallant soldier for the Union during the war of the rebellion and an ardent Republican down to a few months ago. The Colonel has spent a con- siderable portion of his time for the past ear at El Paso, Tex., where he had some usiness interests and where he had oOp- portunity to study the workings of a free Silver law in Mexico. He ts openly and avowedly in favor of the free coinage of silver and a hearty supporter of ryan and Sewall on the Chicago platform. John W. Baldwin, Chairman of the Dem- ocratic County Committee, is doing much good in organizing Bryan and Sewall clubs in different sections of the county. He or- ganized a strong club at Lamont recently, with Dr. J. P. Walker as President and Postmaster Lou Luther as Secretary. At a picnic at Stokely, in the northwestern en ane of the county, H. T. Williams, the iepublican candidate for Prosecuting At- torney, was asked to speak on the money question, but declined. Free silver was discussed by Prof. S. ©. Books and Lawyer Severance of Lamont and O. M. Barnett of this city, Democratic candidate for mem- ber of the General Assembly. So far in the campaign Colonel Ezra J. Smith, Republican candidate for Judge of the Pettis County Circuit Court, has posi- tively declined to discuss the silver ques- tion on the stump, insisting that there is “nothing in it,” and trying to make the tariff question the paramount issue, He has been asked point blank to define his position, but persists in evading the matter. He Says he stands ‘“‘squarely on the 8t. Louis apn but the most persistent efforts ail to produce a syllable in indorsement of the single gold standard specifically. It is even said of Mr. Smith that he was a greenbacker in years gone by, and still clings to the fiat idea of money. It was remarked to-day by one of his brother can- didates on the Republican ticket that if Mr. Smith did not see fit to come out boldly for the money plank of the St. Louis platform, the County Committee would be called to- gether and Mr. Smith asked to resign. Two heretofore loyal Republicans have joined the free silver club at Dresden, and Chairman Baldwin, who resides there, has in preparation a list of names of many other former members of the Republican party who will vote for Bryan and silver. AT MOLINE. An Army of Republicans Are Out for Bryan. Special to the Post-Dispatch. MOLINE, Ill, Aug. 22.—A careful poll of Moline at this time shows that 300 Re- publicans are supporting Bryan and ~4 silver and a large portion of theg active members of the Moline Silver which has been an active factor in thé aign. Its membership is compo ‘ Jemocrats, Republicans, Populists and Prohibitionists, who pledge themselves to vote only for free silver candidates for of- fice. It has a large club room, from which literature is distributed, and holds meet- ings weekly for a discussion of the issues, The following are the most prominent Re- publicans who have declared for Bryan: b Reid, hardware merchant.

George F. Davis, a prominent attorney of this place, who has been @ Republican voter for thirty years, was chosen chairman of the meeting. He opened the meeting with appropriate remarks and declared that if kind Providence permitted he should cer- tainly cast his vote for Bryan and Sewall on November 3. Mr. Davis is one of Jasper County’s prominent citizens and as an attor-. ney stands very high. He is considered to be about the wealthiest man in Sarcoxie | sven. The principal speakers of the evening were Judge McGregor of Carthage, who has been a life-long Republican, and has served as Judge of this circuit for twelve years, and Judge J. M. Weeks of Carthage, who is also a converted Republican, or, ae he claims, a Lincoln Republican. Judge Weeks has been a prominent figure in the politics of Jasper County for a number of years. This county’s tes to the Republican State Convention, who in their county con- vention prior to the national convention de- clared for free silver were instructed to, cast their ballot and influence for Judge Weeks for State Auditor. But he seg | a man of principle, after the Republican Na- tional Convention declared he could not and would not support McKinley and the Re- publican platform, whereupon he was cropped by the goldbugs of Jasper County. These men are very enthusiastic and de- clare their intention of working from now until Nov. 8 for the Chicago platform and its candidates. ALL FOR BRYAN. Some Illinois Republicans Who Go Back on McKinley. Special to The Post-Dispatch. va ean Ill., Aug. 22.—Bryan and free ver seem to hold a popular place in the pearts of a number of formerly prominent —— licans in this vicinity, from the fol- ¢ ng, who have bolted the ticket in avor of the white metal champion: eCarty, one of the most extensive 4 owners in epublican. this county, and a life-long ames Malicot, ing about five miles has voted the Repub pames Holstein an covey tio farme at éetri oo emia farmers in Bewa Campbell, well known in farm cir- cles, and a Prominent Re publican, adds he the Mat of free silver 7 = dma sons will also cast their votes along of the now heart and and wiil work for the cause of the free sil- pF mpn gy e above list are all prominent men in this community, and their political infiu- ence will be of great value to the free sil- ver party. IN LEWIS COUNTY. Landslide of Republicans to the Free Silver Ticket. Special to the Post-Dispatch: LA GRANGE, Mo., Aug. 22.—Even a par- tial canvass of the voters of this section discloses alarming Republican disaffection and a tendency to renounce McKinleyism and alleged sound money. Prominent citi- zens who have shown life-long allegiance to Party openly aver that they will support the Democratic ticket. Among the local Republicans of prom- inence and influence who will bear Bryan’s banner to the polls in November may be mentioned Maj. George H. Simpson, who has never voted any ticket other than the Republican. Robert Richards, architect and carpenter, a life-long Republican and a@ gentleman of considerable influence, will vote the Demo- cratic ticket for the first time in his life, It is stated by a gentleman who is in a position to know, that William Salter, a re- spected and prosperous German farmer, living near this city, will cast his ballot for Bryan and Sewall. George Hays, another successful farmer, is said to have had enough of ruinous Re- publicanism, and well support the Demo- vratic ticket. These are but a few of the many who have found the error of their way, and will come over to the ranks of the righteous. ALL FOR BRYAN. A Hot Bed of Silver Republicans at Athens, [11.

My action in this matter is prompted by the fact that I am not in har- mony with the party on the money ques- tion which is the paramount issue of this campaign; and having made up mind to follow my convictions and vote for bimetal- lism, the free coinage of silver and gold at a ratio of 16 tol, and in favor of independent action by our country on the question, I cannot consistently further act with the committee, hence ask that I be relieved and another committeeman be selected in my place.

SOME WANT LEWIS Wall Street Democrats Can’t Agree on a Candidate to Run Against Lon V. Stephens, The gold Democrats of St. Louis, at their mass-meeting to-night, will select sixty- nine delegates to the goldbug State conven- tion, who favor nominating a candidate for Governor and indorsing the other nom- inees on the regular Democratic Siate ticket. The delegates to be elected to-night will probably be strongly in favor of Fred W. Lehman, recently of Iowa, as the nominee for Governor, adopted. In the convention next Wednesday there is sure to be a difference of opinion on the proposition to nominate only a candidate for Governor. Some of the delegates who have been already selected by the different counties want a complete ticket. A few are earnestly working to secure the nomination of Robert E. Lewis, who is the nominee of the Republicans on a single gold standard platform. To nominate Lewis, choice for Governor of the and then to indorse the other Democratic candidates on the regular ticket, would emphasize their protest against silver and at the same time put them in a position where their votes would count against Lon V. Stephens, the Democratic nominee. Mr. Stephens was for free silver when it was a question whether the question would carry. He has been consistently for it all the time and has incurred the hostility of the corporation attorneys, who comprise the bulk of the goldbug wing. If it had not been for the tilt between Chauncey I. Filley and Candidate Lewis at Chillicothe, ““De Ole Man” would doubt- less have been very active in the movement to get Lewis the goldbug nomination. As it is, he is sulking out at the Mosque, trying to thaw out his typewriter, which was rendered inoperative by the ‘“‘frost’’ at Chillicothe. DEMOCRATS AT WORK. Organization by School Districts Be- ing Rapidly Effected in Every County in Missouri. but no instructions will be they say, as the old Democrats, Under the drection of Chairman Cook and Secretary Love, the 10,000 Democrats em- ployed in the organization of the State by school districts are rapidly getting the work under way. It is Chairman Cook’s intention to com- plete the organization in every county be- fore the formal opening of the campaign. To do this the work will have to be rushed. The several thousand organizers in the 8,000 school districts are being urged to ex- pedition. Thus far the results have been very satis- factory. The plan of school district organ- ization was,adopted only after a lengthy discussion, the principal objection against it being that it would require time, money and men. Three weeks ago Chairman Cook and Secretary Love began the work. They went at it in a systematic way. Men were secured in nearly every Ccistrict who were familiar with the work and who knew the territory in which they worked. Their reports when made out are sent direct to the headquarters of the State Committee and are filed there for refer- ence. Up to date fifty-six counties have been thoroughly organized, and in thirty others the organization is nearly completed in a majority of the districts. The counties in which the Democrats now have a new and complete organization are these: Audrain, Barton, Bates, Bollinger, Butler, Callaway, Cedar, Chariton, Christian, Clay, Cole, ‘Clinton, Cooper, Crawford, Dade, Dallas, Dunklin, Greene, Holt, Jefferson, Knox, Laclede, LAncoln, McDonald, Wash- ington, Wayne, Webster, Worth, Wright, Madison, Oregon, Clark, Macon, Maries, Miller, Mississippi, Moniteau, Morgan, New- ton, Ozark, Pemiscot, Polk, Pulaski, Ralls, Randolph, Ripley, St. Clair, Ste.

NOURSE IN JOINT DEBATE. A CHAUTAUQUAN — INCIDENT. Spirited Discussion of the Money Ques- ‘tion at Piasa Bluffs Rouses Con- siderable Interest. The most notable event of Piasa Bluffs during the Chautauqua season was the financial debate between the Rev. Sam Small and Dr. Robert Nourse, both of Washington, D. C. It was a high-class debate, free from per- sonalities, but exceedingly earnest, and the lines were soon as sharply drawn be- tween the adherents of silver and those of gold as between two opposing armies. At times the excitement became intense. When Dr. Nourse denounced the people of the West as robbers he was roundly hissed, but aside from that incident the meeting was in every respect orderly. Probably 3,500 people were present. The auditorium was filled to overflowing, and the partisans seemed to vie with each other in heaping praise upon their respective champions. It was not intended as a political debate, nor was the trend that way, although the heavy outlines of the G elephant loomed up occasionally on a background of gold. Judging from the effect produced, Mr. Small had the best of it from the start, al- though hundreds of “‘rooters’”® had come in from Springfield, Jacksonville and other towns wearing yellow ribbons, on which were inscribed: ‘Sound Money.’’ Mr. Small has a wonderful voice and a very impressive style of delivery, and his arguments were unanswerable. The proposition was: ‘“‘Resolved, That the free, independent and unlimited coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1 with gold is moral, businesslike and triotic.’’ The debate was begun at 11:15 o’clock a. m. and continued until 1 p. m. At 2:30 p. m. it was resumed, and Dr. Nourse concluded his third speech at 4 o’clock. In spite of the extreme warmth of the weather, the audience seemed never to tire. Mr. Small commenced by congratulating himseif on the opportunity of appearing before an audience in the State that pro- duced Abraham Lincoln—a man to whom 4,000,000 ex-slaves owe their liberty. “At the present time,” he declared, “we are confronted by even a greater crisis, in- volving the future liberty of more than 70;- 000,000 people, white and black.’’ Hie compared the currency of tHe nation to the blood of the human body, and set forth an elaborate analogy of that idea. He showed how the act of 1873 established the free coinage of gold and demonetized silver, “thus causing the silver dollar to bo bastardized by the very Government that gave it existence.’’ The Constitution provides that gold and silver, not gold alone, shall be the legal tender of the United States. There is so much more silver in the country than gold that the men who speculate in money con- centrated on the metal which they could corner with the greatest ease, and demanded the payment of every obligation in gold, thus giving it a fictitious value. In order to accomplish their end and give it the stamp of authority they caused the laws of the mint to be codified. The silver dollar was dropped as legal tender, and these sharks succeeded in fooling even the Senate of the United States. Therefore, while United States bonds read, “payable in coin,’’ gold is demanded, because of the demonetization of silver. The more money there is in circulation, declared Mr. Small, repeatedly, the better business will be. Our gold might as well be in Europe as to be in this country and out of circulation. We have paid a syndi- cate $10,000,000 in six months to protect the United States Treasury and keep that gold from getting away—to protect it against gold gamblers and coupon clippers—not against the honest American citizen—yet our gold continues to be sent to Europe, because England will not accept silver, which American hawmakers have said is of little value. ’ When the question was raised it was found that only one man in the audience had a gold dollar in his pocket, and not a single one had been paid any part of his wages in gold within two weeks, “This,’’ said Mr. Small, “looks like about 1,600 to 1.”’ If the poor people have silver, he demand- ed, let them take it to the mint and have it coined as freely as the rich man with the product of his gold mines. Som@ tell you, he said, that if the free coinage of silver is permitted the silver mine owners will make a profit of $30,000,000. Suppose they do? Gold is being mined to-day at Creede, Colo., at an expense of 25 cents an ounce, and every ounce of it sells at the doors of the United States Treasury for $18.60.° Where is the silver record to equal that? Baron Rothschild at the Berlin conference said: ‘Each nation must determine for isself the character of its own money,” and Secretary Carlisle admitted in his Covington speech that there was not and: could not be any such a thing as international money. If the coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1 is wrong, as Republicans claim, why do they say in their platform that they will coin it at that ratio if England will agree? Do two wrongs make one right? We have 70,000,000 people, against the 38,- 000,000 of England. She is a finished na- tion, and her power is def¢lining. If we cannot afford to assert our financial inde- pendence now, when can we? No man, even a goldbug, will declare that there is too much money in circulation. Gold men gay that present conditions are due to a “lack of confidence.”’ It is no such thing. It is due to lack of money. It has cost this Government $262,000,000 lately to sustain a fictitious financial sys- tem, and we have been compelled to mort- gage our sons and daughters for 30 years to pay the interest on this vast amount and enable money sharks to buy gold and sell it right back to us again. We are like the negroes, who, in slavery days, bought their freedom from their masters. The money sharks are the slave drivers of to-day, and we, the “free” American citi- zens, are the slaves. Silver was quoted at 103 before it was de- monetized, and it was being shipped to England as gold is to-day. Senator Allison said in 1878 that the bill of 1873 was ‘‘doctored” after it had passed the House &nd Senate, and President Grant declared that if he had known the bill dropped out the silver dollar he would not have signed it. A bill introduced in the House in 1879 by Stanley Matthews, of Ohio, providing that Government bonds be paid in silver, passed both Houses almost unanimously. t was signed by President Hayes and voted for by William McKinley. In 1873 an ounce of silver would purchase a bushel of wheat. To-day it will do the same, while an ounce of gold will purchase 1.9 bushels. Has silver depreciated? No! But history of finance shows that gold has amacsenaes about 2 per cent annually since The honest citizens of this country de. mand the restoration of silver, and its free, unlimited and independent coinage at a ratio of 16 to 1 with gold, said Mr. Small, and the year of 1896 will witness the ac- complishment of that end. in St. Louis County turned out Saturday | ing ouage Kerth, while Garrett, who repre- | now Dr. Nourse commenced his reply by prom- ising to appeal neither to passion nor preju- dice, yet his first move was to display a copy of the Bible and announce it was “the only prose of Republican literature he had rought along.”’ cote based his argument on the statement: shall have the power to coin money and regulate the value thereof.” case, he declared, silver was demonetized in 18h, when the ratio wae changed, and not in 1873, when nothing was said about it. Hence there was no “crime.” “Since 1873 silver has depreciated until it takes thirty ounces of ailver to purchase one of gold, yet free silverites ask us to accept a coinage ratio of 16 to 1 when it should be 30 to 1. “Thou shalt not steal,””’ says the (Republic. an) Bible, yet they would have this Govern- ment cheat every creditor by establishing Ts and of their demand for a 16 dly h and there were 400,000,000 silver Washington “because country will not have them.” Mr. Small refuted this statement by show- ing that there are in circulation cer- tificates to the amount of $400,000,000, and that the silver dollars are there, not be- cause the people will not have them, but as a guarantee for the redemption of the out- standing certificates. The hautauqua season really closed Thursday, and the debate was arranged as an afterpiece. ° - can - AP ae 7 7" @ a, , o~ - a : > Tne " 2 >> a we * : hel Sg a - , | We vd 7 ’ 9 ii eee : he Ae - we > 4 .

At Spring- ‘*]4f when nominated, Candidate Lewis wed with fervent heat. He eulogized the saints in the Republican calendar. e thundered in denunciation of the Chi- azo platform. He exhaled fire and Timstone, a sulphurous light and a vol- ume of sound. The Springfield speech was the explosion of a package of fire crack- ers under a,tar barrel, combining the elements of a loud noise, a lot of red. paper and a bad smell. Perhaps Candidate Lewis was under the impression that, being a new convert to Republicanism, noise and fury were necessary to the acceptance of his profes- sions. He may have been right about that. But a man who joins a party for an office cannot relieve himself of sus- picion in + performance. He must do the act not once but many times, and when Candidate Lewis stood before the Republican Leaguers at Chillicothe and repeated the stale gold standard fallacies of John Sherman, he put an icicle down the back of every Republican there. ‘ead of a bad smell he left nothing had taste in the mouth. ‘ate Lewis admitted the honesty ‘lency of Democratic State gov- st in Missouri. This was truth, but the candidate, having surprised him- | a on mind of any thinking and observant man that the politics of the United States are already revolutionized as far as the align- ment of the States in the electoral college is concerned. There are perhaps 6,000 men in New York, Boston and Philadelphia who either Own or represent the Huropean owners of at least six-tenths of the property of the United States. During the last eight years, this class, yearly growing more arrogant in spirit and more carelessly ignorant of the needs, the suffering and the temper of the American people, have forced issues in a most high-handed and radical way. It is useless to deny that during the last four years they captured the Dem- ocratic national “machine” as com- pletely as they are now in control of the Republican. Knowing this and embold- ened by it, as they were still further by | their ignorance of what Democracy really means to the unsurrendering Democrats of the country, they assumed to dictate new and revolutionary policies, to change the character of the Government, to sup- plani Republicanism with aristocracy and Democracy with plutocracy. The closing of the mints, the issuance of the currency by corporations, the heavy in- crease of the navy, the establishment of a standing army on a European basis, the overthrow of the Constitution wherever it hampers the use of the army as the agent of imperialism and plutocratic Fed- eralism, the absolutism of corporation agents on the Federal bench, the over- throw of local self-government and the subjection of labor with the bayonet— these were a few of the things which they regarded as virtually facts accom- | plished—results achieved and accepted by all except a few whom their organs have -chastely described as “long-bearded cranks” and “wild-eyed anarchists.” | These greatly mistaken ideas of theirs cratic movement was largely engineered from Europe. New York newspapers most radical in representing it are man- aged from Europe. The New York banks which are most insistent and ag- gressive in it are mere agents of European capitalists. The wanton insolence which ‘has been shown during the last three or four years was the result of a belief in ‘assured and permanent victory due |largely to European ignorance of what Americanism means. What it does mean is to be demon- strated in the coming election. The Dem- ocratic party has “smashed” its pluto- cratic machine as a machine was never smashed before in the history of Ameri- | can politics. The masses of the party | have risen and whatever else results from ‘their action, it is already decided that 'the policies of the United States are no | tonger to be dictated by the small class of insolent an@ ignorant monopolists who dominate, rob and oppress the masses of the Eastern seaboard. The opportunity for leadership is thus thrust on Illinois. If its people take ad- vantage of it, if Illinois forces itself to features which will make the Sunday Post-Dispatch the best family newspaper to be obtained. : ——- —_o~—_ - OO -— -____———_- While the Postmaster-General is com- pelling the railroads to pay for railroad mail like other people pay for mail ser- vice, why does he not investigate the Prostitution of the mail service and the breakimg of the law by Members of Con- Sress in franking campaign speeches?

Babcock of Wis- consin, a rabid Wall Street Republican, With less than 150,000 citizens of voting age, Boston has property assessed this year at nearly a billion. This would make the average citizen of Boston worth in the neighborhood of $6,000, but, as every one knows, the average citizen in Boston is as poor as he is anywhere else. The immense’ wealth of the city is held in the hands of a few men who have gained it by their mortgages on the labor of the East and the farms of the West. - A goldbug correspondent sent into Mex- ico finds that silver is the only money there, and that wages have not been affected by the Mexican silver policy. This being true, what becomes of the gold bugaboo that free silver coinage in the United States would reduce wages?

Oo The great demand for the Sunday Post- Dispatch continues to grow. The Sunday Post-Dispatch has features and a fresh- ness that are quite unknown to its com- petitors, and which intelligent readers never fail to appreciate. $— THE COMMERCIAL GARBAGE. The Post-Dispatch is loath to have to Say anything further on this subject, but the present condition in regard to this Class of city refuse is a disgrace to a civilized city. If our city fathers would spend more time attending to public business and less | to quarreling about the offices, such blun- | ders as the omission of certain kinds of. refuse in a garbage contract could not —— ,occur. It is evidently of more importance to these picayune statesmen who shal] be chairman of their meetings than | whether the city is properly managed. What has induced Harbor Commission- er Stone to recede from his position that | garbage shall not be dumped into the | river? He took a firm stand on this question a short time ago, acting under | the Federal laws, which he is sworn to Wee carried out. As the Post-Dispatch pointed out before, the Mississippi does not belong to St. Louls. It is not a private cesspool to this city or any other. It is against the interests of civilization and contrary to all sanitary law to dump thousands of tons of rotten eges, dead | chickens, feathers, decaying fruit, putrid | and the like into a river. ‘“e Eastern cities think of ‘atry mediaeva) action? v that the “additional” freaks and oddities, and, besides, /news of the day, local and foreign, up _features to which’ attention may _MEC RIVER—A beautiful picture by Russell, showing a summer | THEIR BARRACKS—Mab that of the Eastern Plutocracy, the realignment of the States will be com- pleted under Illinois leadership and the | Union of, for and by the people for which | Lincoln struggled will be restored by the courage, foresight and patriotism of the |generation which has succeeded him in a factor in national politics?

If the gold makes for high and the sil- ver standard for low wages, how comes it that gasfitters receive $14.50 a week in Co- lombia and $18 in Venezuela, both silver- standard countries, and but $4.08 in Ger- many and $3.40 in Italy, both on a gold basis? How comes it that cigar-makers re- celve $12.50 and tinsmiths $14 in silver-stan- dard Venezuela, and $4.80 and $3, respective- ly, in gold-standard Spain? How comes that distillers receivé $12 per week in Mex- ico and but $3.90 in Denmark? How comes it that cabinet-makers receive $10 in Ecua- dor and but $4.25 in Germany, blacksmiths $12.83 in Venezuela and but $2.60 in Italy, telegraph operators $11.50 in Mexico and but $5.30 in Denmark, engravers $19.75 in Peru and but $3 in Spain? If the gold standard makes uniformly for high wages, why is there such a tremendous difference in the wage rate of gold-standard coun- tries? The average weekly wages of brick- layers in the United States is $21.18, in Spain $3.80, in Canada $18 and in Italy $4.20, yet all are on a gold basis. Hod-carriers average $13.38 in the United States and but $1.70 in Italy; plumbers $13.50 in Canada and $3.25 in Spain, $19 in the United States and $7.90 in England, $13.35 in New South Wales and $4.25 in Germany—all gold-standard countrtes. Coopers get $1.80 in China and $10 in Ecuador; masons $2.18 in Japan and $10.80 in Mexico; butchers $2.68 in Persia and $12.30 in Peru; cigar-makers $1.40 in China and $12.50 in Venezuela—all silver- standard countries. Yet the goldbugs ask the workingman to believe that upon the unit of value depends the scale of wages! Carnegie, Mark Hanna and McKinley are wonderfully interested in the welfare of the workingman—in a perfect agony lest he commit industrial hari-kiri! Wil] they please inform us how the gold standard is to pre- vent American wages going to the English level? Will they kindly take a day off and explain how the adoption of the gold standard by China would raise her wage rate to a parity with that of New South Wales—while that of England, Germany, Denmark, Belgium, France, Italy, Spain and Switzerland remain so far below that of Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador and Ven. ezuela? And when they have explained this matter to the satisfaction of the public, will they explain why gold standard Spain ig decaying, while silver standard Mexico te going forward with giant strides?

A very pale shade of azalea lawn was made up over azalea silk, to be worn for a dancin own. Like all dancing dresses, it was Sufi all around, yet short enough for the waltz. The shoulder clouds were of the azalea, with a fall of fine lace similar to the edging of the ‘“‘to the curve” ce. The overdress fell in a point front and back over an underskirt of black taffeta with azalea spots in it. At the belt was a bow of black silk. Sugar in Ice-Cream. About the average or proper amount of sugar for ice cream is six ounces to each quart of cream. With less sugar the ice cream is not so smooth, and more is apt to make it too rich, so it will not beat up so well, and will melt quicker. Useful Linen Gifts. Linen of all colors, embroidered and bound with white galloon, is very much used for ockets and cases for ling dresses and toilet purposes. A travel case of this style in een, embroide in white, is a very pretty and useful pres- ent at this season of the year. Baked Ice-Cream. The desire for startling novelties is no- where more conspicuous than in the cul- inary department of the house. Baked ice cream is one such attempt. The solidly frozen brick is completely covered either with paper-thin pastry, or with very thick meringue of white of eggs and sugar. Then it is set for a second in a furiously hot oven. And it certainly is delicious. Muslin Gowns.

No one denies the right of England to fix the price of gold by an act of Parliament, as there is no other way by which the value of money can be decisively ascertained. The Constitution of the United States provides the authority to coin money and to regulate the value thereot. England would probably smile if we should insist upon a valuation for gold demand that our estimate should be adopted in Lon- don’ as an international agreement. Being the nation surpassing all others In power, resources and wealth, we claim the right to fix the price of gold and silver to suit our interegts wits: asking the co- operation of any other Government.

Or would he be any better off if our dollar should be re- duced in value one-half, and he should then be pos one dollar for a bushel of wheat? The plain fact of the case is, the farmer gets for his wheat just what it is worth at the time and at the market in which he sells it, and whether he exchanges it for sugar, coffee, tea, clothing, go or silver, cannot affect the real value ob- tained, and no change in our standard of money can make him receive more value for his wheat than he would receive for under the existing gold standard.

The Country Is in the Hands of the Money Lenders and Bryan’s Elec- tion the Only Relief. LAUREL, Md., Aug. 22.—Richard P. Bland spoke here to an immense audience Fri- Gay afternoon. This is the home of Sena- tor Gorman, and the occasion was the open- ing of the State Democratic campaign. Mr. Bland, in the opening sentences of his address, asserted that “this is a campaign in which the great masses of laborers and producers of the country are arrayed in or- ganized conflict with corporate greed and insolence.”’ The speaker asserted that such men as William C. Whitney were inconsistent in opposing Bryan, if, as they say, “it will make the rich richer and the poor poorer.” The men who are opposing Bryan, the @peaker said, are the heads of trusts and monopolies. ‘The men who are leaving the Democratic cog’ who are putting up a third ticket,” e said, “in order that they may help Mc- Kinley to win, are identified with the trusts.’’ Mr. Bland asserted that this is the first time within a quarter of a century that the lines have been sharply drawn between the beneficiaries of class legislation and the reat masses of workers and producers. It as cost the Government $262,000,000 in three years to maintain the gold standard, and that amount will be doubled by the pay- ment of interest. “This is more than a contest between the two arties,"’ the speaker cried, and then he added: ““Thank God, the old Democratic party has broken loose from the Whitneys and their associates. The laborers and the procucere ought to take the Government n their own hands and control it in their own interests,’’ he declared, after which he went into etatistics to show what it would cost to maintain the gold standard. He next asserted that if cKinley were elected he would follow Cleveland's example and pay all coin obligations in gold, and asked, ‘‘Where is he going to get the gold?’”’ He asserted that there is no law requiring the payment of custom dues and the inter- nal revenue in gold. Where, then, he asked, could McKinley get the gold except by bor- rowing it and issuing bonds to “the sharks of Wall and Lombard streets.”’ To cancel the greenbacks, he said, will contract the currency $600,000,000. The only solution of the problem, he claimed, is to give the people both gold and silver as a redemption fund. “The only probability of a change,” said Mr, Bland, “is Bryan's election. McKin- ley's victory would be @ barren one: you might as well enact a decree that Cleve- land should be President for four years more. It means to keep on selling bonds.” Mr. Bland asserted that the money ques- tion is the cr erengcerans one in the cam- paign, but back of this is the greater one of when are the people going to take charge of the Government and run it them- selves. Mr. Bland will return to Missour! imme- diately. He was received with great en- mw here and his speech was heartily cheered. FUSION IN IDAHO. Final Arrangements Between Demo- crats and Populists. BOISB, Idaho, Aug. 22.—The Democrats and Populists have completed the details ‘of fusion. One plank of the Populist plat- form says: “We heartily indorse the action of the a People’s party in convention at St. uis.’’ Another plank of general interest is: “Belleving in equal rights to all and special privileges to none, we favor the adoption of the pending woman suffrage amendment to the Constitution.”’ The Democratic Convention ee sale and nominated R almon for Supreme Judge, and Frank Stu- enberg of Caldwell for Governor. The platform says, in part: “Representatives of the pory in Idaho, in convention, renew their fidelity to the prin- ciples of the Democratic party as formu- lated by Jefferson and reaffirmed in the platform adopted by the representatives of our party in the Chicago convention of 1896. We ratify and confirm the nominations made at Chicago, and pledge ourselves to use every honorable effort to secure the election of William J. Bryan and Arthur Sewall, President and Vic resident of the United States. We recommend to the favor- able consideration of the voters of the State the proposed constitutional amendment graming equal suffrage, believing that this great question should receive the earnest attention of every person as an important factor of the future welfare of the State.” At the evening session the Democrats notified the Populists that they would not accede to the last demand. The Populists at once rec , and fusion was cl up. The Democratic Convention nominated _ Frank Stuenb for Governor; R. . uarles, Justice of the Supreme Court; R. ‘ McFarland, Attorney neral;'’ G. H. orrer, Treasurer. The Populists nominated the following: ongressman t. Gunn; C. C. Fuller adopted a uarles of Lloutenant- Governor; J. H. Anderson, ; L. Lewis, Secretary of State, Andergon for Attorney-General. CAN’T BE BOUGHT. and Mr. Danforth Says Money Cannot Con- trol This Election. NEW YORK, Aug. 22.—Hx-State Treas- urer Danforth, in an interview, says: “The strength of the sentiment for silver throughout the rural counties is surprising to me, as it has been to everyone who has been in touch with the farming community. I was prepared to find only a moderate feel- ing for silver, but my astonishment grew after I had traveled and met the people and learned that all over the State, in the Central and Western counties in particular, almost all the Democrats and many Repub- licans were out strongly for Bryan and Sewall and silver. “Bryan will win, I believe. With the States west of the Mississipp! and _ the Southern States for the ticket, and the Bast debatable ground, a thousand Mark Hannasgs cannot change the result. From what I have learned, I imagine that Mr. Hanna is in fear. If he gets true reports he has reason to fear. Money cannot buy this election.” DEBS FOR BRYAN. Says He Knows Him to Be a Friend of the People. CHICAGO, IIL, Aug. 22.—About 200 dele- gates, representing the local branches of the American Railway Union, met last night to hear some of the speakers of the order on the subjects now before the people, EBugene V. Debs and Directors Bruns and Hogan were the speakers. Mr. Debs said he had just returned from a trip among the Southern branches of the Union, and had found them flourishing. He then announced himself for Bryan, and adWocated the uniton’s united effort in the behalf of the Nebraska candidate. He said he knew Mr. Bryan t@ be a friend of the people, and if elect he would protect the interests of the people. Carried by Cowherd. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Aug. 22.—In the Democratic Congressional primar'tes held here Friday ex-Mayor W. 8S. Cowherd, an out-and-out free-silver Democrat, carried everything, and it !s now settled beyond doubt that he will be his party’s nomince for Congress. The gold Democrats had no candidate before the primaries. Marshall Made His Speech. MACON, Mo., Aug. 22.—Henry Marshall, the negra free silver orator who was how!l- ed down here a few days ago, returned and made his speech Friday evening. He was guaranteed protection by L. A.

CHANCES OF THE CRACK CYCLISTS GREAT SPORT SHOULD BE WIT- NESSED AT DE HODIAMONT. WILL COBURN AND HOWARD. These Men Are the Stars of Their Re- spective Classes—Anderson Should Show Good Form. There should be some rattling good sport witnessed at: the Diamond Tournament at DeHodiamont this afternoon. The track is in perfect condition and from all appear- ances, the weather will be just right for record breaking. Complete arrangements have been made for the handling of a big crowd. Of course the success of the afternoon's sport depends entirely upon the racing men. The people want to see good spirited sport and fast time. Loafing or foxy riding will displease the crowd. The racers have it ia their own hands to make or mar the sport this afternoon, , While the professional events should see some tall riding between Anderson, the Co-« burns, Stadte, DeCardy and Kenyon, the amateur events will probably produce the best racin Howard should put up some pretty finishes. Of course Harding must be counted in with these cracks but they do say that Bert has has not been training ag he should of late. fie appears to be in the very best of con- dit.on and it is Like finding money to bet that he will win one of his events. Alex Laing is not in shape and the game little sorrel top must be counted out of it at present, although he has a nice place in the two-mile handicap. ‘rank Costello is a man who must not be overlooked in the handicap. Chariie Mc- Carthy is also good for a fine finish in any event he chooses to try for. So is Daugher- ty. They say that Wicke is in good shape. and if this is so, the ‘“‘Terrible Wascal’’ of old-time cycling will give any of them a tussle. Canfield looks good in the handicaps. On his marvelous showing at Louisville Willie Coburn ranks as the best of the pros. He is riding like a streak of lightning just now and should win his picked events. Anderson and Stadte will make the Co- burns hustle. The former is in good shape and will make Will Coburn ride, but the dashing Stadte has not yet recovered from ee effects of his bad fall at Galesburg last une. De Cardy and Kenyon are good men and will be right up on every event. De Cardy rhas more than a good chance in the long dis- tance handicap. ‘The professionals are very evenly matched, although on recent form Will Coburn seems to. have a trifle the best of it. The tandem race is exciting much interest Tivy and Weidner, the strong men with the high gear, are the favorites, but many peo- ple swear by Howard and Hattersley. Cos- tello and Harding also have a chance. Anderson will try for the mile State rec- ord paced by a quad. Canfield will make the same attempt. Racing will commence promptly at 3 p. m. and the events will be run off in rapid suc- cession. Selections for to-day’s races: Novice—Kriedler, Graham, Klute. Tandem—Tivy and Weidner. One mile amateur—Howard, Harding, Hat- tersley. One mile professional—W. Coburn, Ander- son, J. Coburn. One mile handicap, pros—J. Coburn, De Cardy, Anderson. Haif-mile pros—W. Coburn, Anderson, L.

The contest will be for a $100 trophy, and will be a strictly amateur affair. Mr. Holland is a well-known local sprint- er of great ability. He can do 100 yards in pretty near even time—l0 seconds. Kimble is an unknown, but claims to have a record of 94-5 seconds for 100 yards. Shut Out the Browns. Baltimore shut out the Browns yesterday without any trouble. The St. Louis men could not hit Dr. Pond, and the Orioles could do but little better with Kissinger. The tall pitcher was very wild, and that is what helped the Orioles. Kissinger gave numerous bases on balis, and hit several batters with the ball. The game was en- livened by the great flelding of Dowd and Meyers for St. uis and Henry Rietz for Baltimore. The score was 7 to 0. Friday’s League Games. AT BALTIMORE—Baltimore 7, St. Louis 0. Batteries—Pond and Clarke, Kissenger and Douglas. AT PHILADELPHIA—Philadel hia 13, Louisville 3.

CLEVELAND, O., Aug. 22.—Advance de- tails of the Knights of Pythias army were arriving in this city all morning to attend the national encampment of that body. The brigade headquarters are now in good con- | dition and ready for the reception of the various companies. Already there is much discussion among the delegates concerning the use of the German ritual in Knights of Pythias lodges. As a result of an inves- tigation recently conducted by Commission- er Howard Douglass, Past Supreme Chan- cellor, a report will be submitted to the bi- ennial convention of the.Supreme Lodge showing that the decision of the Supreme Lodge forbidding the use of the German ritual has been systematically ignored and violated. The three men against whom the charges were brought are German Past Chancellors Charles T. Loehr of Richmond, Va.; Henry Vellenvoss of Lou'sville and Fred Buchman of Chicago. Inquiry among the local Pythians leads to the conclusion that the German element is prepared to go to any extreme rather than submit to the decrees of the Supreme Lodge that their proceedings shall be conducted in English. The action of the Supreme Lodge on! this question will be watched with inter- est. The large bodies of the visiting knights will not arrive till Monday, but in the mean- time numerous officers and detached ecom- mands are expected, so that by to-morrow the camp will begin to liven up a bit.

NEW YORK, Aug. 22.—The Herald this morning says: The following communica- tion has been received from Miss Mary Proctor, a daughter of the late Professor R. A. Proctor, the celebrated English astrono- mer, who made his home at St. Joseph, Mo. Miss Proctor sailed from New York June 27 on the steamship Ohio for the purpose of obtaining a view of the recent total eclipse of the sun, the steamer being bound on a cruise to Russia and Norway: STEAMSHIP OHIO, TRONDHJEM, Norway, Aug. 10.—The a py ers on board the steamship Ohio of the American line had a splendid view of the total eclipse of the sun, which occurred on the morning of Aug. 9.—The sky was cloudless and the at- mosphere elear, so that we had a perfect view of the sun’s corena and prominence. The planets Jupiter, Mercury and Venus were plainly to be seen during the total eclipse and also many well-known constella- tions. The temperature fell two degrees— from 53 to 51—during the totality, and a per- ceptible chill was felt at the time. he eolipes was viewed from a most favorable point, northwest of the Island of Stotven the west coast of Norway, the latitude 66.5 north, longitude 13.30 east. The data of the eclipse are as follows: Aug. 8, #h. 6m. 22s —first contact; Aug. 8, 15:53:26—total ob- scuration began; Aug. 8, 15:55:00—total ob- tion ended. eCSigned) » “MARY PROCTOR.” Call at the Illinois Central new ticket office, 218 North Broadway, for particulars regarding the $12 excursion to Petoskey, Mackinac Island, Harbor Springs and Charlevoix, August 26th. MY! BUT HE WAS MAD. An Editorial That Knocked the Writer Out of the Box. MARSHALL, Ill., Aug. 22.—G. C. Har- ner was editor of the Herald (Rep.) here, but he is not any more. He wrote an edi- torial] that laid him out. The Democrats are using it for campaign Mterature, and Mr. Harner has been bounced. Following is his extraordinary production: “When you see a free silverite you seé a man who wouldn’t earn a dollar honestly if he could get it dishonestly; one who would let his wife take in washing for a iving while he held down dry goods boxes; one who never owned a pair of pants with- out a Cleveland badge on the seat; and one who will steal before he will provide for his own household: one who thinks he can ride to glory in a political band-wagon; one who sees a fat job in the future if the thing wins: one who shuts his eyes while somebody slips from 50 cents to $5 into his hand for his vote; one who has no more stamina, no more principle, no more self- respect than to be bribed to commit any crime. This.may be a little harsh, but it is true to the letter.” » $7.25 VIA WABASH, East St. Louis to Chicago and-Return. Tickets on sale Aug. 24 and 25. Good to return up to and including Aug. 28, 1596.

ALL “KATY” ORGANIZATIONS EX- CEPT ENGINEERS COMBINE. PREPARINGFOR FUTURE ACTION Engineers Are Expected to Join Short- ‘ ly Under the Scheme of Federa- tion Adopted at Cedar Rapids. The employes of the Missourl, Kansas & Texas Railway system engaged in its train gervice, with the exception of locomotive engineers, are now united under one federa- tion and will hereafter act together in all matters affecting their common interests. The act of federation was accomplished at @ meeting held this week at Denison, Tex. Representatives were present from the following organizations: Order of Raltlroad Telegraphers, Division 18, of Fort Worth, eter, of Railway ductors, Division ville, Tex.; Division 58, Denison, t Division 161, Parsons, Kan.; Division o M hood of 4 Trainmen—Lodge Smithville, Tex.; Lodge Lodge 870, Parsons n.; fa, Mo.! en # 542, New Franklin, 2 tive Firemen— ~ gon ® Lod Ken: ex. } Kan.} Fe ae 7%,” edaile, Mo: Lodge New mithville, Tex.; 64, The spesting was tn session two days and opte oue es of eration agreed upon executive chiefs as lowing amed: F, . Sargent, rotherhood of Locomotive . Pe. Arthur, grand chief engineer, Brotherhood of Edbomotive Engineers; EB. . Clark, 4 chief conductor, Order of Railway uctors; 8. BH. Williams, grand master rotherh of Railroad Trainmen, and Ww. ~ — telegrapher, Order of Rail- ers. Te Before federation can be effected on any System these articles of federation must be adopted by a vote of the members of the respective organizations employed on that syevom. These articles are ten in number, ‘the most important of which are given below: “Sec. 3. In event of Say peered committee or Board of Adjustment failing to adjust a complaint In accordance with lawe govern- ing their organization, the secretary of such g@eneral committee or Board of Atjastment shail forward to the Chief Executive of the organization interested, signed by the com- mittee, a full and complete statement of the complaint and action taken. When direct- ed in person, by writing or telegraph, by the ‘Mhief Execufive officer of the organization, coples of this statement, with notice of time and place of meeting, shall be forwarded to the Chairman of the General Committee or Board of Adjustment of each organization party to the Tederation. “Bec. 4. The Chairman of any General Committee receiving such statement and notice of meeting shall answer such call in person, meeting the others at such time and place as is designated, and when s0 con- vened the several general Chairmen shal! constitute the general Federated Commit- tee of that system, ard anal progees to or- anize by the election of a Chairman and ecretary, who shall serve until their suc- cessors are duly elected. After such organ- ization they shall, if they approve the com- laint, exert every honorable effort to ad- ust the same. “Sec. 5. When the Federated Committee have, after exhausting all honorable efforts, failed to adjust the complaint referred to them, and when the Chief Executive Officer of the organization 3 A= is prepared to approve’a strike, he shall immediately con- vene the Chief Executives of all organiza- tions represented in the Federation, and in the event of it becoming necessary to in- @ugurate a strike, the same shall be author- ized only by a two-thirds majority of the Federated Committee and the consent of the Chief Executives of the organizations repre- gented. ‘Seo. 6 Should a strike be Ina rated the Chief Executive of the organization ag- ~ved shal] be the reco 4l have power to declare the strike off with the consent of the General Federated Committee, together with the approval of the Chief Executive of the organizations embraced in the Federation.” The engineers at the Denison meeting quite willing to accept these articles and had previously voted in favor of fed- erating, but as no vote had been taken within three montha, they considered it ad- vieable to take another vote before com- mitting themselves by final action After signing the articles of federation, Organization was effected by go the following officers: EH. P. Curtis, Smithville, Tex., Chairman; T, I. Callacott, Denison, Tex., Secr a Mr. Curtis is Chairman of the general grievance committee of the order of Reail- sine, Sentuctors, and Gecretary oa rare is airman of the joint protective boar of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, Chairman Ourtis was in St. Louis Satur- and said to a Post-Dispatch reporter: “There is no friction between the employes of the M., & T. and its management. Differences that occasionally arise are sat- isfactorily adjusted and harmonius relja- tions exist between the men and the of- ficials of the road. Our purpose in federating is simply to get the men together, so that they may act in concert on all matters af- fecting their interests.”’ WORKING FOR HARMONY. Republicans Trying to Fix Up the Twelfth District Muddle. A citizens’ committee of silk-hosed Re- Gon the have undertaken to amicably ad- u Parsons, ge 492, Franklin, the st the quarrel in the Twelfth District be- tween’ the Filley and anti-Filley committee. Friday ventas the movement wae started at the Mercantile Club, where some twenty- five prominent Republicans were assembled. In the gathering were Henry Hitchcock, Dr. Thomas O'Reilly, H. M. Pollard, Alvah ansur, Gen. John W. Turner, Henry R. hitemore, W. V. Wolcott, L. A. Bemis and Dr. Emil Preetoriue. Dr. Preetorius was ejected Chairman and E. C. Rowse Secretary. all ad- Several speeches were made, vocating a harmonious and united party. 8. A. Bemis said the Republicans should carry the most important district in the West, and could do so if the factions would wet tomether and work for the best interests of the party. A committee was appointed to devise a plan to bring the Filiey and anti-Filley or. ganizations together. This committee was made up as follows: J. B. McCullagh, E. oO. Remand Nathan Frank, Henry Haarstick, a Rowse, Alvah Mansur and H. M. Pol. One of the plans is to have Maj. Pearce the hominee of the antiFiller faction, withdraw, and let the two committees wrest together and nominate a union candidate which both , at Cedar Rapids, lo., by the of orders ized leader, and | BRIGHT MR. PIERCE. He Has a Wonderful Idea With Which He Proceeds to Counteract the “Silver Craze.’’ The free silver sentiment has taken a firm hold upon farmers in the neighborhood of Alton, Ill. The spread of the doctrine in that neighborhood has assumed such proportions that the high tariff and gold- standard manufacturers have taken alarm. They have been casting about for means to counteract it. The officers of the Alton Roller Milling Co, believe they have found an effectual scheme. . W. B. Pierce of the company received Thursday several hundred Mexican silver | doWars wit which to put the scheme into comedies. His pomeene operates a latze flour mill, and purchases wheat in large quantities from neighboring farmers. The farmers will be generously paid on the basis of $1 a bushel, but the measure of value will be the Mexican silver dollar. The Mexican money was imported to be ex- changed for the wheat. Several other Republicans in Alton have already tried the same scheme without the desir result. “Mr. Pierce thinks to furnish the farmers a striking object lesson,” said a resident of Alton. “But the farmers know a thing or two and will not be taken in.”’ NEW COMMITTEE, A Plan to Select a Successor to Harri- son I. Drummond in the Eleventh District. The Eleventh District Democratic Con- gressional Committee believes it has hit upon a plan to eelect a successor to Harri- gon I. Drummond and choose a new com- mittee that will give satisfaction to the objecting members of the party. The hold-over organization proposes to hold a primary election under its own aus- pices next Saturday, and have the new committee meet the following Monday end nominate a candidate to fill the vacancy caused by Mr. Drummond’s withdrawal, The committee holds that it cannot hold another primary for a congressional nomi- nee, because the expenses are more than the candidates care to under the Ryan law would cost each aspi- rant $650, and they are averse to spending that amount as a starter in the campaign, The committee has consulted attorneys and ig assured that the plan agreed upon is lawful and regular. Monday evening next the committee will meet at McFern's Ha]l, Coleman and North Market streets, when the arrangements will be made for the primary. The O'Malley faction will be represented and .will, it is the understanding, enter a@ decided protest to the holding of the pri- mary under the committee’s auspices. They claim that with such an arrangement there is nothing to prevent the oommittee from re-electing itself and thus perpetuat- = ite power. ecretary McGrath said: “The committee proposes to give every man who wanted to run for committee- man equal representation. The committee will make the expenses as light as possi- ble and each candidate will pay propor- tionately. When the committee is elect- ed it will meet as soon as possible, organ- ize and name a candidate for Congress, which it has a perfect right to do. The avowed candidates for the nomina- tion are George W. Allen and Dr. R. M. King. The friends of ex-Congressman Patrick O’Malley have been urging him but geem to think that he would stand no show with the present committee, If they make a fight for control of the or- ganization and win they will give him the nomination. Hickman P, Rodgers, a Twenty-eighth Ward leader and prominent business man, is also urged to make the race. HER DEAF MUTE SON. Mrs. Gramlich Says She Was Assault- ed Because She Defended Him. A warrant was issued Saturday against Joseph Bachmeier on the charge of assault and battery. Mrs. Caroline Gramlich was the complain- ant. She lives with her husband and three children at 8647 Maine evenue., Among their children is a deaf and dumb boy, Otto, aged 8 The children in the neighbor. hood make a practice of teasing the mute. He is easily angered and invariably resents their actions. Aug. 6 Otto was having some trouble with the children of Mrs. Holkamp, who, lives at $651 Maine avenue. The two mothers of the children interested themselves in the chil- dren's fight and got to quarreling them- selves. Joseph Bachmeier, so Mrs. Gramlich says, came along and took the side of Mrs. Holkamp. He struck Mrs. Gramlich with his fist and kicked her in the abdomen, so she alleged. She said she could prove by the physicians at the Marine Hospital that her injuries were serious, and she has other witnesses to show that Bachmeier’'s assault on her was unwaranted. Bachmeier lives at 3649 Maine avenue. BOY’S FATAL PRANKS. Sammy Ring Played With Gasoline and a Fulminating Cap. Samuel Ring, aged 12, was fatally burned by gasoline Friday afternoon as a result of boyish pranks. When a policeman carried the half-baked little fellow to his mother ehe fell in a faint and was moved to the City Hospital in the same ambulance with The Rings live at 2246 Old Manchester road, and Mrs. Ring sent her sons Samuel and William to a store for gasoline. On their return they met Harry Sievers, aged 15, in front of his home, 2261 South King’s highway. The boys scuffied for the can of gasoline and each tried to pour some of it on the other. After Sammy Ring’s clothes had become saturated the lads turned their attention to other sport, Sammy produced a fulminating cap and Struck it with a stone. It went off and his clothes took fire. He ran home, and on the way his clothes were almost burned off and his flesh was roasted. A policeman carried him into the house. He died a few hours after he reached the City Hospital. Mrs. Ring recovered consciousness at mid- night, but was not told of her son’s death, ANOTHER TORNADO VICTIM. M. J. Christman, Who Took Prussic Acid, Lost His Home. M. J. Christman, whose suicide by means of prussic acid was reported in the 6 o'clock edition of Friday’s Post-Dispatch, was a cigarmaker and resided at 1317 South Sec- ond street. He killed himself because his home at 1416 South Broadway had been wrecked by the tornado. His body wag discovered in Reservoir Park atsp.m. At the Morgue a note, written in German, was found ciutched in his right hand. It was as follows: “My name is M. Joseph Christman, and I resided in the city during the tornado at 1416 South Broadway. Now I am poor and left. I can't support my wife any longer and‘hopa she will forgive this rashact. Farewell and live happy in this wicked world. My iast word is thy name, Eliza.” Mr. Brockschmitt Was Angry. Henry Brockschmitt,’ President of the Brockschmitt Pressed Brick Company, vis- ited the Recortier’s office, and when he learned that his son John had obtained a license to marry Etta Kyle of 1905 Knox ave- nue, he declared that the young man and his ride would have to go thelrown way. Mr. Brockschmitt deciared that his son was un- der age, being several years younger than Mises Kyle. $3.75—Via Wabash. Bast St. Louls to Chicago, August 24 and es 3, 26, “A meet. A primary ft HOW KELLY WAS SHORN OF POWER. EXCITING SESSION OF THE HOUSE OF DELEGATES. DIEKMAN IS SPEAKER AGAIN. Statesmen Cronin and Burke Insulted the Revolutionists, but They Didn’t Come to Blows. As foretold in Friday’s Post-Dispatch, the expected revolution took place in the House of Delegates. Speaker W. C. Kelly was unseated and ex-Speaker Louis Diekman was elected to succeed him. It was a bloodless revolution, but simply because the Kellyites were in such a helpless minority that they had to take the drubbing they received without the re- sistance that they had so vehemently threatened. f words could have counted for blows the Dispensary surgeons would have been busy until late in the night. Every delegate was in a bad humor, and the usual parliamentary civilities were thrown to the winds. The lobby was filled with the heelers of Lath Wijppwssh LOUIS C. DIEKMAN. the respective factions, who watched each other and the movements on the floor with the keenest interest. Everybody expected trouble, and about 7 o'clock some one telephoned to the Four Courts for a detachment of officers to come over and be in the hall, ready to quell an outbreak. Three detectives were sent over by Chief Kiely and remained outside the bar until the revolution had revoluted. Speaker Kelly was on hand early and tried to appear unconcerned, but it was plain that he was laboring under a strain of suppressed excitement. When 7 o’clock arrived, the time for the House to meet, there were not half a dozen members on the floor. Delegates Cronin and Burke came in and from their loose talk both were primed for any kind of a row that the warring Republican fac- tions might be able to start. Cronin was a Kelly man and Burke was with him. Cronin had for once been caught napping and it was too late for him to get into the band-wagon and enjoy some of the usufruct that was to be handed out by the new combine. Burke wanted to get into the committee room, but the door was locked and the Ser- geant-at-Arms was not to be found. Burke tried several times to force the door, and then Cronin, with an oath, said: ‘Break it down,”’ and threw his 225 pounds avoirdupois against it; the bolt was about to give way, when a hand from the inside turned the key and Burke and Cronin burst in. Speaker Kelly and two or three of his al- lies were holding a caucus, and it was thus rudely interrupted. Cronin told Kelly to call the House to or- der and they would adjourn, but Kelly hesi- tated. The anti-Kellyites were holding a caucus, the clerk had been posted, and he was busy everywhere except at his desk. Fully half an hour went by and the mem- bers began to come in by ones and twos. Kelly ordered the roll called; about a fourth of the members responded. Cronin wanted to adjourn, but the clerk kept on calling the names of the absentees. He called them over and over again until finally the anti-Kelly- ites, having finished their caucus, filed In. There were sixteen of them, and the Kel- lyites only nine in number, were in their seats. Kelly without raising his head ordered the roll called and then began to rattle off the order of business. The clerk read ome or two minor Dills that had come over from the Council, and was interrupted by Mr. Lloyd clapping his hands for the messenger. The messenger bore from Mr. Lloyd a slip of paper, handed it to the speaker, who nervously scanned it and almost fell to the floor as he reached out his hand toward the clerk. The clerk read: ‘Be it resolved that the office of speaker be and the same is hereby declared vacant.”’ Half a dozen delegates moved in chorus the adoption of the resolution. Mr. Cronin moved to table it. The vote stood: Yeas—Cronin, De Brodt, Marshall, Mur- rell, Pauley, Sippel, Stewart, Taubold and Watson—9. Nays—Becker, Bersch, Buechner, Dehlen- dorf, Diekman, Grassmuck, Judy, Kreit- meier, Lehmann, IAoyd, Mepham, Schertf, Schumacher, Sullivan, Wilcox and Wittler— 16. Excused—Burke and Kelly.

Kelly was standing and without a word hopped down from the Speaker’s perch, and.took his old geat awaw back next to the outer ralling. Marshall, as speaker pro tem, mounted the rostrum and said that the first thing in order was the election of a speaker. Buechner nominated Louis Diekman and Stewart named John Marshall. Some one moved that the nominations be closed. Mar- shall so declared. Cronin was on his feet demanding to be heard. Marshall declared him out of order. Cronin bellowed like a bull, “‘Don’t you dare to try any of your Reed tactics on we 7 want to put a candidate in nomina- on. Marshall declared nominations closed. Cronin warned Marshall that he would suffer the same fate as Kelly if he tried to run over a member on the floor. “Who are you, anyhow, you stiff!’ an- said Cronin, ‘“‘that you dare to take charge of this house and run it?’’ Then Burke took a nd. “T want to know of you,”’ addressing Mar- shall, “if you have not been in a caucus trying to have yourself elected to the Speakership of this House? Answer the question on your honor, if you understand what that means.’”’ Marshall declared that he had not been in a caucus. Lloyd moved that nominations be re- opened, Marshall insisted they were al- ready closed, but the House ordered other- wise. Cronin nominated Kelly, Sippel nom- inated Bersch, who declined, and then he nominated Watson, who imitated Bersch. Eex-Speaker Kelly rose and askéd to be heard. He said: “A few minutes before the House met I was waited on by a committee and asked to resign. I refused to do so. I am no coward. I want to say that I was elected Speaker by a certain number of votes, and I leave it to anybody if my rulings have not been just and fair. ‘To the members of this House who op- sed me in that contest I have nothi yut the kindest feelings and respect, bu to those who pretended to be my ——- and helped me to the Speaker's chair and then Iscariot-like betrayed me, I have noth- ing but the supremest contempt. “Tl withdraw my name and as friend of mine to vote friend ot es chee whe honor him will spare him the dag- at on t traitors have thrust in my back. y to my false friends that I am r to do my duty, but I warn Ye 4 that their hour of retribu- e. hey ave trayed me; sey ate just as likely to prove false to the ‘The’ and I Say to them watch out.’’ for Diehnee* taken and every vote was for Marshail’ except his own, and he voted eae had failed to answer to his name Fh er, and when the roll was finished arshall asked him if he wanted to vote. hat is it we are voting on?” snap- Pishly inquired Burke. og Speaker,”’ replied Marshall. lied Wish to vote for a gentleman,” re- teen, , Burke; “record me for Louis Diek- a was a hot shot for Marshall, who was the only other man in the race, and he al- most choked with rage, but did not resent the. moult. ere was not a ripple of applause when Diekman mounted the rostrum. He gaid not a word in acknowledgement of the re- stored horfors of the House, but took up the business call where Kelly had left off, and the remainder of the session was un- eventful. It is understood that Diekman will re- arrange the committees, and restore in a great measure his former regime, though this will probably not be done until the winter session begins.

Carrie Carr Slid Down the Banister Rail and Is in the Hos- pital. When Carrie Carr’s back gets well she will be content in the future to descend the stairs step by step like ordinary mortals. Sliding down the banisters may be all right and afford children plenty of amuse- ment, she says, but she is now convinced it is hardly the proper thing for a mature young woman of 21 summers. Carrie lives on Oregon avenue. Friday night she had company and the arrival of more company was announced by the ring of the doorbell. Three young ladies started to answer it. Two of them had the start of Carrie ‘and secured the right of way on the steps. The banister rail was there, however, and Carrie instantly decided to press it into service., She mounted at the head of the stairs and sailed away. The journey to the first landing was made in safety and in very rapid time. On the way she passed her companions and gave them the merry ha ha. But she had not reckoned on the turn at the landing midway of the stairs, When “ struck this she lost her balance and ell. She alighted on the floor of the hall eight feet below squarely on her back. The breath was knocked out of her and when her companions reached her she was unconscious. he was revived in a short while and complained of her back paining her dreadfully. An ambulance was called and she was taken to the City Hospital, Dr. Sutter says Carrie’s injuries are painful, but not dan- gerous, and she will recover in a few weeks. JACK SHEA GONE. The Noted Criminal Sent to Jefferson City With Fifteen Other Convicted Felons. Jack Shea, handcuffed and shackled, was led from his cell in the St. Louis Jail at 7 o'clock Saturday morning and placed on a train bound for the penitentiary at Jef- ferson City, where he is sentenced to serve ninety-nine years for the murder of Pa- trolman Doran, in 1881. Fifteen other prisoners were taken with him and the greatest precautions were taken to prevent an attempt to escape, All of the prisoners were first handcuffed together in pairs. Then a long chain con- nected the handcuffs and the convicts were in double file. Shea and notorious Jim Lawler, the high- wayman, were handcuffed together and they were the last two onthe column. From the pair of handcuffs which locked their wrists together the chain dropped to Shea’s ankle and an iron band clasped his leg. The procession at Union Station created @ small sensation and Shea became the center of attraction. His hat was drawn down over his eyes and head was bowed. He paid no attention to any one. The collection of convicts is perhaps as famous a one as any that ever left the jail. There were four murderers in the lot. The aggregate years to be served by the sixteen is 185, of which Shea has ninety-nine. The prisoners, their offenses and the terms to be served are as follows: James Brossler, fraud, two years; Charles Stockton, murder, fifteen years; John Car- ter, murder, fourteen years; George Dillard, murder, twenty years; Stephen Mohrlowski, assault with intent to rob, two years; Joseph Bowoski, assault with intent to rob, two years; John Connors, alias Harry Smith, grand larceny, two years; Harry Thomas, highway robbery, five years; Charles Mar- tin, grand larceny, two years; Sam Scott, grand larceny, three years; Wm.. Jones, assault with intent to kill, three years; Martin Hicks, assault with intent to kill, two years; Wm. Osborne, highway robbery, seven years; James Rodgers, grand larceny, two years; James Lawler, highway robbery, five years; John David Shea, murder, ninety- nine years. PLEA OF INSANITY. Effort Being Made to Get Mrs. Sarah Meyer Out of Jail. Relations of Mrs. Sarah Meyer, alias Minor, alias Morris, alias Morrissey, are trying to obtain her release from jail on the ground of insanity. Mrs. Meyer is now confined there charged wéth shoplifting. At the request of the woman’s lawyer, City Physician Jordan called on her Fri- day. The theory that the relatives advance is that she is a kleptomaniac. Police investigation shows that the Meyer family have been more or less thus afflicted for a generation or more. Mrs. Meyer's father served eight years in the pen for burglary and according to a letter from her son, the latter is now serving an eight months’ sentence for the same offense. Mrs. Sapoe of 824 North Eighteenth street, with whom Mrs. Meyer lived for a time, says that the latter told her her daughters knew of her thefts and were in the habit of wearing the stolen articles, AFFIDAVITS WILL DO. Naturalized Citizens May Be Register- ed by Making Proper Oaths. Despite the posters and other information given out from the Election Department, there is still some misunderstanding regard- The law requires naturalized citizens to pre- sent their papers when they register, and there lies the cause of hundreds of inquiries ovary day at the Election Commissioner's orinee, Many voters have either lost or mislaid their papers and fear that they will lose their votes in consequence, Chairman Higgins said Saturday that the voters who had lost their papers and had tried to get copies without success, would be allowed to register by making affidavit to these facts.

P : again - WITH BELLVILLE. FLORISSANT’S JUSTICE TAKES HIS OWN TIME. JOHN HANSON HAS FRIENDS. They Are Striving to Have Otto Voelk- er Punished for Being Slugged by Him. It would seem that Justice Bellville of Florissant is a law unto himself, with the sanction of the Suburban road and its at- gy ny time ago an unoffending citizen, Otto Voelker, was set upon and beateyn by John Hanson of the Suburban Railway summer garden. Then he was arrested and taken before Justice Bellville, when a charge of disturbing the peace of John Hanson was put against him. On Aug. 10, by his attorneys, McDonald and Fauntleroy, Voelker availed himself of the statutory permission which allows any defendant to take a change of venue if he hat he will not be given a fair onal teanune of the prejudice of the Jus- tice or the community from which the jury is to be selected, and filed a formal da- vit and bond asking for a change. Justice Bellville was indignant at this very ordinary and ligitimate proceedure and did not fail to show it. He accepted the affidavit and bond and told the attorneys that he would notify them by mail as to what court he would send the case to. Mr. McDonald pulled the statute on him and insisted that as the defendant was un- der*bond to appear in the court to which the change was taken it was but logical that he should know the court. The Justice interrupted proceedings until he could ascertain the wishes of others and then said he would send the case to Judge Noerper in Luxembourg. Again Mr. McDonald pointed to the law which said the change must be made to the nearest justice in the township or to the nearest one in the nearest township in the county. Justive Bellville intimated that the law cut no ice with him. He had a personal dislike to the justice the next township of Central, and he he some other objection to the justice at Web- ster. The case should go to Luxembourg or not go at all, and that was all there was to it. Mr. McDonald amply had to bow to the emphatic mandate of the justice and made the best of a bad bargain. The statute says that when a change of venue is taken, the justice from whom the change is taken must immediately transmit all papers and records to the court to which the case is taken. This must be done immediatély, according to the law, but in this case it has not been done. The papers aro somewhere between Florissant and Luxembourg, but just where is not known. The change of venue was taken on Aug. 10, and 11 days have elapsed, but as far as is known not a paper in the case has reached Justice Noerpér. He called to see Mr. McDonald on Wednesday, and said he had heard of no papers. Prosecuting Attorney Heidorn says that Hanson is a good man, well recommended by the Police Board and the Chief of Police, and is a much-abused citizen. His history as an ex-convict was not news to any one interested in the prosecution of the case against Voelker, and does not cut any fig- ure in it, as Hanson has always kept the peace at the Suburban Garden. Mr. Heidorn says the case will not be dropped. In the meantime Mr. McDonald is waiting and keeping tab to see how long it will be before Justice Bellville gets good and ready to send the case down to Justice Noerper. THE LAW INTERFERES. One Reason Why Fred Lehman Can’t Be Governor of Missouri. Gen. Jo Shelby and the other Wall street Democrats who have been urging the nomi- nation of Fred Lehman for Governor on the goldbug ticket show an ignorance of the constitution of this Commonwealth that is astounding. Section 5 of article 5 of the Constitution says: ‘‘The Governor shall be 3 years old, a male, and shall have been a citizen of the United States ten years, and a resident of this State seven years next before his election.’”’ No one doubts that Lehman is 35 years of age, or that he is a male, but no one claims that he has been a resident of Missouri seven years, or half that time. Up to three years ago he was a resident of | Fok serving railroads and other cor- porations, just as he is now. In the 1893 directory his residence is given as Des Moines, Io. It is not expected that the Wall street Democrats, composed chiefly of corporation lawyers, would nominate a candidate who is ineligible. ST. LOUIS GIRLS RECEIVED. Eight Young Ladies Become Sisters at Loretto, Ky.

TL STATE MAY HAVE 10 TAKE CHARGE. THE EX-CONFEDERATE HOME IS D. 0. C. DOING NOBLE WORK. The Ladies Object to Giving Up the Home Established for the Old Southern Soldiers. The Confederates of Missouri! will hold their annual reunion at Liberty, Mo., next Wednesday and Thursday. As a rule the State reunion is nothing more than a social gathering of veterans and their families, but this year it will be of more than usual importance, A question which has confronted the ex- Confederates of the State for several years will come up for final disposition. The Confederate Home of Missouri is in danger of suspension, and the old war horses of the South who have found a pleasant home at Higginsville for the past six years are in danger of being turned out into the world unless heroic measures are taken. The Confederate Home Association, has at present only sufficient money in the treasury to pay the expenses of the institu- tion up to the end of September. With this fact confronting them, the officers of the home realize that something m@t be done at the coming reunion to save the institu- tion. It is the opinion of a number of the officers, formed from the experiences of the past six years, that the only way to insure the future existence of the home is to turn it over to the State at next winter's ses- sion of the Legislature. At the annual reunion two years ago an attempt was made to do this, though the affairs of the home were not in so a condition as at the present. At that time the members of the Daughters of the Con- federacy rose up in arms and indignantly protested against the movement. They declared that they would never permit the ‘theroic old inmates” of the home to be intrusted to the care of the State. Some of the veterans were ungallant enough to rem the ladies were foolishly sentimenta Whether they were or not they succeeded in securing enough votes to defeat the motion. Though the matter has not been discussed very generally as yet it has leaked out that this attempt to tender the home to the State will be repeated at the Liberty reunion and that the ladies will be there in force to again defeat the movement. The Daughters of the Confederacy have repeatedly, during the last two years, af- firmed their ability to support the home if the Association would turn it over to them. As this involves the raising of $1,000 a month the gentlemen who have carried ther n- sibility so far are somewhat doubtful ag to the ability of the ladies to keep their pledge. Many of the best friends of the home feel that it is better to sink their personal pride and make the future subsistence of the helpless inmates absolutely certain by surrendering the handsome property to the State. That the offer will ted aid in securing the acceptance of the gift by the Legislature. A prominent ex-Confederate in discussing the matter, said: ’ “The people of Missouri! have done more for the needy veterans who fought on the losing side in the great struggle than those of any State in the Union, having voluntarily subscribed during six years a little more than $140,000 to the support of the home. Still, the officers of the home feel that at last they have worn out their welcome and that the public is at jast tired of giving. Those who claim to know say that the State will a great deal if it accepts the splendi property at Higginsville. The movement to build the home was started by prominent ex-Confederates in various parts of the State in 1890. In April 1891, the actual work was begun in a small way by the erection of ten three-room cot- tages for old soldiers and their families. With this as a foundation the association appealed to the people of Missouri for funds to erect the present magnificent main build- ing, which was dedicated in June, 1893. The appeal had no sooner gone forth than money came rolling in. Men of all classes and of every political belief eontributed. mverything went with a boom and for a time the home was very prosperous, The farm of 362 acres was fenced, drained and cleared and a handsome chapel, costing $1,200, was erected by the ladies of Lafayette Couaty. During the past year the Daugh- tera of the Confederacy of St. Louis erected a fine hospital building and furnished it complete at a total cost of $5,000. Altogethe about $80,000 have been invested in real estate, buildings and improvements, From 75 to 100 veterans, many of them wee yy Rog been lod and fed and cared for since the ere main . xa ction of the uring the past two yea through apparent fault in the mane ment, but simply from lack of subscriptions, for the home has always depended for su port on the munificence of the public, the insti- tution has not flourished. The officers of the association, President James Bannerman and President Harvey W. Salmon, have worked hard to arouse the waning pubNe interest in the enterprise, but without su now feel that the home must be sus- nded entirely or turned over to the tate. There is no doubt that the Daughters of the Confederacy will resist the latter ex- lent with all their strength, but those n a position to know say that they will be defeated. It does not seem strange that those who have worked so hard create this splendid property should wy with protes inst giving it up, but people of the State come f subscriptions and pledges of . the home must forever from the of the gallant little band of Missouri toneide from thie al-abeerhins Aside m - this year’s reunion will be a —~ ~~ expected, as the 4 will in itself attract many Sa the reunions. do not usually attend who the meeting. ssf Sendlampa a | PPEe POR MAKING BLANC MANGE: = SEA MOSS FARINE, & lies 16 quarts ......236 FORIDS, BE Out-of-towa orders filled.
