He patronized the Southern Hotel bar until he had a foundation of straight whisky. At Tony Faust’s he got a superstructure of beer. He had built a creditable structure, from the bartender’s standpoint, when he sud- denly remembered that he had a prisoner at the Fouse Courts, and that the train left at 9 p. m. He added on a cupola of gin fizzes, and with a clove and a grain of cof- fee in his mouth set out for the Four Courts at 6 o’clock. On arriving at the building Sheriff Samp- son staggered into the office on the Twelfth Street side. He thought he explained to Ser- geant Lang that he was-a Sheriff. But the words got tangled in the Sergeant’s ear and he ordered the Sheriff out as though he were a drunken intruder and not the biggest man in Algone, Kossuth County, lowa. Sampson attempted a further explanation. The impediment in his voice had extended to his intellect. He was told to clear out and became enraged. He demanded his prisoner and would have him in spite of a thousand police. Sampson offered to whip every man on the police force individually or collective- ly. One stalwart policeman tried to quiet him, and there was a fight. Sampson was picked up by three. police- men and thrown into a cell, They sus- tained torn clothes and severe bruises in the work. Sampson called out loudly that he was a Sheriff and that the police had no right to lock him up. He demanded his prison- er, but no attention was paid to him and finally he slept. Wednesday mornin Sampson was re- leased. He went to the Sheriff's office, but no Lester Stevens was held. Crestfallen and ruffied in spirit, he departed from the Four Courts with the purpose of finding a Turkish bath. Requlsition papers for Stevens arrived Wednesday morning. ZEVELY’S NEW JOB.

HIS CONDITION PRECARIOUS. Wrote a Note to the Post-Dispatch *Tellling of His Desire for Death, but Now He Wants to Live. At 10 o’clock Tuesday night Charles Bell was convinced that he was a martyr; at 10 o'clock Wednesday morning he was perfect- ly certain that he was a foo!; by 10 o’clock Wednesday night he is very liable to be a corpse. Bell’s ramantic nature, mixed with a yearning for much beer, is the cause of his troubles. He was sure he loved his wife despite the fact that he occasionally chased her around their home with a barre! stave. He was also quite sure that she did not love him, because she said that she would be better off it he were dead. Therefore he decided to die in the most approved manner, for his beloved wife's sake. He swallowed “‘Rough on Rats’’ and is now in the City Hospital. Bell is a plumber. He lives with his wife at 708 Gratiot street, and Monday night he sat down at the kitchen table and wrote four notes. Three of them he tore up. The fourth he addressed to the Post-Dispatch. He did not mail it, however, until Tuesday night. It was received Wednesday morning and read as follows: Jan. 11, 1807.—Please publish these few lines. I no longer care to live. I wish it to be known to the public that my life is not worth living. I will end it by taking my life. I am giving my life for one I love dearly-—-my lawful wife. We have¢livea together four years, but now she has wronged ime and 5 can stand it no longer. She left me for thicgs I was innocent of and did things she never should have done, She has treated me very cross and has caused me to take my life. I will not stand back. Let it be known to the public that I hope she may live happy and never see a sorry day. May she never be bothe ed about me or think of me. She aid she would be the happiest woman on earth if I was dead, so I will do all I ean to make her happy. I hope she may hever cause another man to tate his life and that whoever she loves will see her safely through. ; Hoping that the ety will take care of my— Oh! how had it is to die for one you love and they do not love you. Good-by. CHARLES BELL, >» FOS Gratiot street. This is a very pathetic epistle, but Charles has had occasion to change quite a number of the views therein set forth since he wrote them down. Instead of trying to make her happy dur- ing his few remaining hours he proceeded to give her one of the liveliest times she ever experiencd. Mrs. Bell, who is only 23 years old and rather good looking, was at home Tuesday evening with her mother, Mrs. Annie Too- looze. They were busy making shirts. They have been supporting Bell in this way for several weeks, as he has been out of work. About 6 o'clock Bell came in. He was very drunk and abusive. He accused his wife of being untrue to him and in a few minutes he was chasing both women about the room. He punched them both severely about the face and they fled from the house. They did not return until 10 o'clock. Bell had then retired. He seemed to be asleep. On the table was a package of “Rough on Rats,” vart of which was missing. The two women thought it was one of Bell's bluffs, he had been talking about suicide so much. They went on to bed and to sléep. About 3 o’clock they were aroused by Bell’s groans. He asked them to send fora doc- tor, apparently having found it much hard- er than he thought to die for one he loved, especially by the rough om rats route. Mrs. Bell got a policeman, and had her husband sent to the City Hospital. He was in great pain and ugly, telling his wife that she had driven him to Gesperation by her conduct. When a Post-Dispatch reporter, gollowing up the letter, calle at ratiot street he found the outer door of the Bell apartments split down the full Jength. e door was unlocked, and no response coming to the knock, the reporter. entered, . e 100m was in @ State of dire confus. ion. The only living thing in it was a black and tan terrier, which Was curled up and growling on the badly, rumpled bed. The reporter walked into the next room, sane con : t. wd ae meerany blacked—some of Bell’s handi- work. This woman was Mrs. Toolooze. She had a horrible tale to tell of Bell’s abuse and worthlessness, and imparted the irformation »} that he had really tried to kill himself. Her daughter was at the doctor’s, getting her broken head dressed. Bell was seen at the hospital. He was perfectly conscious @nd in no pain, although weak. ‘“‘Are you going to get well?” he-was asked. “Don’t know,’ he answered, ‘‘Hope so.” ‘You don’t want to die, then?’ “Not now.”’ “How about your letter?” “Oh, I was a fool,”” he said, rolling around in embarrassment. “I won’: try that any more. It’s all my mother-in-law’s fault. She turned my wife against me. Last night 1 went home and my mother-in-law went after me with a stick of wood. I cornered her with a barrel stave and then my wife hit me on the head with a teacup. After that they both ran away. ‘‘T thought it best to kill myself, for I did love my wife and coulin’t stand the way we were living, but I don’t want any more of it. I am done with suic:de.’’ The doctors say that Bell’s condition is precarious, owing to the absorption of a large amount of the poison before any anti- dotes were administered. FRAUD ORDERS.

A DUEL THROUGH A DOOR. Steamboatman Who Has Killed Two Men Sent a Bullet Close to Detective Allender. Al Drewer, who is responsible for the death of two men, nearly sent Detective Sam Allender to his death Tuesday night. The detective had information that the house at 1820 North Broadway was occupied by several well-known thieves and crooks who were wanted. It was nearly midnight when Allender was detailed on the case. He called on Special Officers Kelleher and Bam- brick to assist him. The detectives went to the front door and knocked boldly. The gruff voice of a mah from within demanded to know who his visjtors were. Detectives Allender and Kel- leher were standing side by side when the door wis cautiously opened. Allender pushed his foot in the opening and grasped the knob, As he did so, a hand holding a revolver was thrust out, and the weapon was d's- charged. Allender and Kelleher were standing within a foot of each other when the shot was fired. The bullet sped between them. Allender drew his revolver and fired through the door which the man imside had slammed. The officers called upon the inmates to Open the door. Mary go the keeper of the house, refused, and the officers bat- ‘tered the door down. Drewer was arrested. The place was searched, but no stolen property was found. Drewer was taken to the Four Courts, where he is held for investigation. _— Drewer was seen in the holdover Wednes- | day morning. He admits the shooting, but says he did not know the men were officers. He says when they first knocked he started to open the door and one of them grab him by the wrist and started to drag hum out in the street. He thought a gang of hoodlums and he shot at them to alarm the police. Drewer says he has made his headquar- ters at Mrs. Miggins’ for more than a year. | He has done nothing that would wareant | the police in raiding the place. Drewer killed Pat Fox a two years’ sentence In 1889 he killed John Gorman at 117 Lom- bard street. He was acquitted on the ground of self-defense. He has since followed the river, and says he has not committed any crime. He was never convicted of lar- ~—ANTHIPKINEEY. A Big Republican Senatorial Combine Organized to Obstruct the President-Elect.

Executive Session Held on the Extra- dition Treaties. WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.—The Senate galleries were cleared and the doors closed immediately after the session opened to-day on the adoption of Mr. Sherman’s motion that the Senate go into executive session. Immediately after going into executive session the Senate took up the motion of Senator Sherman made at the request of Secretary Olney to reconsider the vote by which the extradition treaties between this country and Argentina and the Orange Free State were amended. The motion was debated at considerable length. The principal point in contention in the extra- dition treaties is the authority granting a foreign Government to take by force from this country persons who escape to this country and are charged with certain of- fenses. It was this point which was first stricken out and which Secretary Olney asks be retained. Senator Davis, a member of the Commit- tee on Foreign Relations, made a strong argument against the principle which Sec- retary Olney desired to have retained in the treaties. The discussion-took a wide range and covered the general features and precedents of extradition. DISCHARGED M’CABE. Judge Murphy Dismisses a Debt Col- lecting Case. Alex McCabe, President of the Claimant Agency, was given a hearing in the Court of Criminal Correction Wednesday on a charge of having sent a threatening letter * James M. Post and discharged on the ground that the State’s evidence was inade--: quate. In January, 1896, James M. Post caused a warrant to be issued against Henry and Alex McCabe, who ran a collection agency at Grand and Cass avenues. Dr. Robert W. King was unable to collect a bill from Post and turned the account over to Henry and Alex MoCabe. A judgment was secured against Post, and shortly afterwards he claimed to have received a letter from the McCabe brothers stating that if the bill was not paid his property would be advertised for sale. When the case came up for trial before Judge Murphy a motion made by Attorney William iH. Clark, for the defense, to quash the information was sustained. An appeal was taken to the Supreme Court and the motion to quash was overruled. When the case came up for trial Judge Murphy was absent. His place was filled by, Attorney Fauntleroy, who discharged Henry McCabe, but held Alexander. A motion for a new trial was made and granted. Wednesday Judge Murphy re- leased McCabe.

NO SILVER AND NO GOLD. Declaration of Principles Made by the Middle-of-the-Road People’s Party Leaders. Gen. Coxey and his reform conference Wednesday morning adopted the following address to aniddle-of-the-road Populists: “ST. LOUIS, Mo., Jan. 13, 1897. “To the People of the United States— Greeting: “This nation has wrought wonders in the development of the forces of nature, which our worthy ancestors, the wise framers of the Constitution of the United’ States, whom we revere, did not foresee. They provided for the administration of justice at the hands of wise, impartial and un- prejudiced officials, “Alas! with the development of natural forces, ostensibly utilized for mankind’s bet- terment, avarice and greed have more than kept pace. In place of the proper admin- istration of the provisions of our National Constitution, its violation has be¢ome the rule. A condition has been thereby created that prevents the success of every. attempt at remedy, which must continue in the ab- sence of a better constitutional method, whereby the will of our citizens may find expression in the written law. A free ex- pression of the people’s will is @ prerequisite of the common weal. ‘“Presuming that the conduct of official duties would forever, as then, be by patriots, adequate provision was not made for their sondnet by traitors, which duty now de- volves upon this generation or the next will be slaves and incapacitated through lack of liberty. “The need of a better method of recording the will of the people is paramount to furth- er education along the line of specific needs until the method is secured. The drowning man needs a rope thrown to him in place of censure for his foolhardy attempt to cross thin ice. “‘Therefore, We, tne who have inthe past proven our patriotism and fealty to the _ prin- after adull and fair undersigned, ciples of humanity, discussion of the political, social and eco- nomic situation, fell impelled by a sense of duty to call your attention to the facts that the prosperity promised by the Re- publican party in the campaign of 1896 has not and cannot be realized; that those who led the so-called silver fight in 1896 now as- cribe their defeat to what they Style “the insertion of Populistic principles in tneir platform, and that the People’s party, whick was and is and should be the pioneer of reform—has by reason of the action of some of its chos- en leaders, through the aid of delegated power, become temporarily an annex of the Democratic party. “Considering these lamentable facts, we deem it our duty to appeal to all friends of reform and lovers of justice to choose delegates in the manner detailed hereafter to attend a Peo- ple’s party convention to be held in the City of Nashville, Tenn., on July 4, 1897, represen- tation to which will be hereafter given to the public by the Organizing Committee selected by this convention. , Iron Mountain Railroad, died at the Mis-’ “The gold-holders and silver mine-owners having mutually exposed the seifish motives of each other, we suggest for the considera- tion of the proposed convention that gold should be demonetized as well as silver, and paper money of Federal issue only, full legal tender be substituted therefor, said money to be issued in accordance with the non-in- terest bond plan, this being in harmony with and an amplification of the sub-Treasury plan embodied in the Omaha platform. “The expense entailedgupon voters by the system. in vogue and the defects thereof, has prompted the devising of a system which is called the Trioriomic American Ballot System, which we have adopted as the method to be used in the organization of initiative and referendum clubs, and which we commend to the consideration of lovers of justice and fairness everywhere. “The club organization system which has been adopted by this conference provides that the will of each club shall be binding upon its delegates, thus making all dele- gates and officials messengers instead of masters of the people selecting them. This method is at once complete an@® effective and provides for the rapid crystallization of the true friends of progress and reform throughout this entire nation, into groups of active, interested actors in the formative process of lawmaking through the initiative referendum and imperative mandate. “The thorough incapacity of the leader of the Peop'‘e’s party movement at their last July St. Louis convention, in offering support to the Democratic nominee for a pledge of support for the People’s party nominee for Vice-President, and then further hedging themselves about with plenary power conferred upon them by a confiding constituency, and other equally pernicious privileges,warns us that in future delegated power must not be’ conferred, that eternal vigilance must be OMe on and that the principles of direct legislation must be applied to party management.

Tuesday night the Lindell Hotel confer- ence of members of the People’s party con- tinued in session. here were no arrivals in addition to those mentioned in the Post- Dispatch of Tuesday. An animated dis- cussion took place upon whether a new party should be formed, as Coxey, Browne and Streeter desired, or whether the “‘si- mon pure’ reformers should remain in the People’s party and by concerted action purge it of the element which they claim betrayed it into the hands of the Demo- crats. The majority favored the latter course and the following resolutions were adopt- ed: Whereas, The action of the majority of the People’s Party National Commit- tee in the recent campaign in making the People’s party merely a tail to the Democratic kite has so crippled its good name as to practically kill its future usefulness without some action being taken to enlarge its scope and to purify it. and that we believe that the only satisfactory way the purification can take place will be through an early na- tional convention, the fundamental idea of which should be that all official pow- er be curtailed to clerical duties only and that the initiative and referendum and imperative mandate be put in op- eration through the trionomic American ballot system, so that a systematic club organization be immediately projected, as there is no hope that the majority of the National Committee of the People’s party will call a convention; therefore Resolved, That we put in operation the active principles of the initiative and referendum, and do hereby call a na- tional convention of all reformers dnd all true Populists who do not believe in the fusion deal, and who are in favor of the above, to meet in Nashville Tenn., on the generous invitation of the pub- lic-spirited citizens of that city and of the Governor of Tennessee, on July 4, 1897, to organize for the camp f 1898 and 1900, on the poa-tntereat plan of providing sufficient full tender paper money to do the business of the country, and to put the idle labor * pons 8 en public emoenvemente, and such olnery matters as the conven may see fit to do. — Resolved, That a provisional organiz- ing committee, consisting of a chairman. secretary, treasurer and four working members, be selected by their confer- On day trains to Kansas City and Chicago, ence to organize the said initiativ referendum clubs-to send Gelegates to a to arrange said national convention, an full: prep- entation and to on refor. | " Resolved, That this conferente issue an addféss to the le.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Jan. 13—The Na- tional Monetary Convention assembled for the morning session about 10 o'clock. Many of the members were attending committee meetings, and this fact, with the general deliberation which has characterized the body, was the cause of the late meeting hour. New tickets had been provided for all the delegates and rearranging of the seats had been made, by which each State delegation was seated together. After Chairman C, Stuart Patterson had called the convention to order, plans for the improvement of the financial system were read. The five- minute limit prevented the detailed reading of these various papers and the outline of the plans was read by the Chairman. These resolutions proved to be so great in number at 11 o'clock, when Chairman Patterson announced that the Committee on Resolu- tlong. would be ready to report at noon, that a motion prevailed which provided that all resolutions be referred to the com- mittee without reading s0 that they might all be reported on at that hour, Cobb of Massachusetts moved that the opening address of Hon. E. O. Stanard be recommended to the Committee on Resolu- tions as expressing the sentiment of the Massachusetts delegation. Adopted. A motion to adjourn until 11:45 was de- feated and on motion of Mr. Chadwick of Brooklyn the time was given over to five minute speeches. Mr. Chadwick reviewed briefly New England’s early financial his- tory with a view to showing its present conditions. He was followed by Congressman Fowler of New Jersey, for whose benefit the five- minute obstruction was removed. Mr. VanStack of. Wisconsin moved that the paper read by Mr. Fowler be referred to the Committee on Resolutions. On motion of Mr. Kelsey of Evansville, Ind., the convention’s appreciation of Mr. Fowler’s paper was expressed by a rising vote, At 12:30 o’clock word was received that the Committee on Resolutions would not report until 2:30 p. m. and the convention adjourned till that hour. WITHOUT A BITE TO EAT. Mrs. Nellie Stanton Hungry, Destitute and Threatened With Eviction. Mrs. Nellie Stanton and her three children sleep at night on the bare, cold and uneven floor of their room in the old Rookery build- ing, at Fifteenth and O’Fallon streets. Wednesday morning they had not a bite to eat, and. they did not know when they would next eat nor did they know from whence food would come. For months they have been destitute, and there have been many days when they ate nothing. Heretofore the mother could send to a relative and get something. Now her two relatives have cut her off, and when the reporter called Wednesday Mrs. Stanton said she really had not a bite in the house. drawers of the cupboard—the only piece of furniture in the room, except a barrel sawed in half, which served as a chair— and she turned the rough shelf over to make eure that there was not even a crumb of bread. Out of bricks and stones a stove had been made and in it was burning some wood her 7-year-old boy had gathered up about the neighborhood. Her oldest child, a boy of 19 years, was at school. The youngest is a girl of 5 years, and she is sick with marasmus. Two years ago her husband died and a few months later two of ther five children died. She secured work as a scrub woman in the big down-town stores, but three months ago she was thrown out of work. Since then she has either been sick or was unable to find employment. She owes the present landlord about M for rent and the former landlord $9. She is threatened with eviction unless the rent is paid soon, CAUGHT A FLYING SQUIRREL. City Hall Attaches Interested by’ a Queer Little Beast. Rats and bats are common things about the municipal barn, but flying squirrels are sufficiently rare to excite interest. One was brought down Wednesday morn- ing by Will Hoblitzelle, of the Auditor's President without exacting from that party | office. It invaded the privacy of his bed chamber Tuesday night and filled his mind w'th ghostly vicions. He rose in his might and smote ft with a pillow. Its leg was broken. He tied a string around its neck and hung it to the doorknob. When he arose Wednesday morning it was still alive. At the hall he turned it over to Walter Dryden, of the City Counsellor’s office. ' After everybody had a chance to see it he carried it down to the Dispensary. Dr. Jordan put it on the operating table and made an examination. There was a com- pound comminuted fracture of the tibia, he said, and the squirrel could not recover. A drop of chloroform on the tip of its nose caused it to turn up its toes. The corpse was presented to Sergeant McGrew. BOARD OF AGRICULTURE. Having Elected Officers at Columbia, It Adjourns. Special to the Post-Dispatch.

In Missouri, However, It Turned Into Rain, and Froze. CHICAGO, Jan. 13.—Dispatches received from numerous towns in Nebraska, Kan- sas, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Iowa, Northern Illinois and the Black Hills, 8. D., show that there were heavy snow- storms in those States yesterday and last night, and many places report it. still snowing this morning. In Missouri it later turned into rain, freezing in the western portion of the State as it fell. Many places reported street car travel and traffic seriously delayed and in some towns blocked altogether on account of the snow being so wet and heavy. Bur- lington, Council Biufts and Des Moines, Io., make the latter reports. Railway compa- nies report trains are more or less behind time. If the storm keeps up it is feared that much damage will result to telephone and telegraph wires. ROCKEFELLER’S APPEAL. The Family May Leave Tarrytown If They Lose Their Case.

YCUNGEGQGERS NOT PREPARED TO DISCUSS MR. STARKE’S LETTER. THAT SCHOOL BOARD BLUFF. With Eggers Handling the Grand- Jury, Filley’s Satellites Safely Court Investigation. La Circuit Attorney Theodore C. Eggers appar- ently desires to consult with the proper per- sons before inaugurating a Grand Jury in- vestigation of the alleged corruption in the St. Lonis School Board. He received a letter from School Board Attorney Charles B, Stark by the morning mail Wedne:day requesting him to compel Dr. W. W. Boyd, president of the Civic Federation, and others, to lay before the Grand Jury proof of their charges. The letter also tendered Mr. Eggers all records and documents of the board, which of course show no corrupt acts, and afford t no clew.to any*%hing of the kind. Mr. Eggers refused to discuss the letter in any of the questions put by a Post-Dispatch reporter. Immediately after receipt of the letver he went away from his office. He re- mained an hour and returning to the Four Courts was aperenaied on the subject. “I can’t talk to you,”’ he declared, before he knew what the subject of the conversa- tion was to be. “I suppose you want %*% talk about Mr. Stark’s letter.’”’ “Will you not say whether you intend to lay the matter before the Grand-jury?’ in- quired the reporter. ‘“‘No, I won't.”’ , ir» you answer no questions in regard o it?’ “No. TI haven’t replied to Mr. Stark yet. Wait until I do.” cas you do lay the matter before the Grand-jury will yeu conduct the investiga- tion as you should and honestly present all the evidence you can possibly procure?” “TI have nothing to say.” ae sickly smile accompanied the declara- on, The gentleman, who less than a year ago, | as Clerk to the City Attorney, was barred from practicing in the First District Po- lice Court, thereupon turned his back.and entered into conversation witih an attache of Judge Withrow’s division of the Criminal Court, where the interview occurred. The question as to the thoroughness of any investigation Eggers might make was put to him on account of an impression that prevails that it will be difficult to have evi- dence of corruption presented to the Grand- jury in such a wey as to secure the in- dictment of any gullty ones. Eggers is a gatellite of Chauncey Ives Filley, and Filley is the 8t. Louis School Board, or that part that controls School Board business. School Board Attorney Stark was asked by a Post-Dispatch reporter if he heard from Eggers. “You do not expect me to receive a re- ply before noon to a letter he received only this morning, do you?’ he asked in turn. “Tl want Dr. Boyd, if he has evidence of corruption in the board,” continued Mr. Stark, ‘‘to produce it before the Grand- jury and give me an opportunity of assist- ing in the conviction of the guilty per- sons.’’ “What members of the board suggested that you write the letter?’ “The letter was written by me and sent on my own responsibility without consulta- tion with any member of the board. Since that was done, the members who have spoken to me about it have expressed their approval of my course.”’ “Do you think that with Judge Zachriiz impanelling the Grand-jury and Dggers con- ducting the proposed investigation, a fail- ure to indict any members of the board would be accepted as their complete vin- dication?’’ “T have no reason to believe otherwise, I do not Know Mr. Eggers personally. I have no reason but to believe that he will do his duty honestly and well, both before = Grand-jury and later if prosecution re- sults. “IT will say further that I do not believe any indictments will result. [ do not be- lieve that any member of the School Board has been guilty of corrupt practices.” A Post-Dispatch reporter called at Dr. Boyd's residence Wednesday morning to se- cure a statement from him concerning what course he would pursue if Eggers does as Mr. Stark requested. Dr. Boyd sent word that he was too busy to talk about the WARNER'S BOOM. Active Movement to Get Him in Mc- Kinley’s Cabinet. Special to the Post-Disnatch. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 13.—Major Warner's boom for the Interior Department portfolio or for Attorney General is being much talked of now because of the many declinations the President-elect is receiving from the prominent men in the party.

Lawyer Thomas H, Coppinger of Fergu- son, Mo., has asked Chief of Detectives Desmond to locate his former housekeeper, whom he charges with stealing an express package delivered to his home nearly a year ago. The box contained a valuable opal ring, a $5 gold piece and other family trinkets. Mr. Coppinger’s housekeeper is nohe other than the wife of Bill Seery,a member of the famous Bil] Cook gang, now in the peniten- tilary for train robbery. Mrs. Seery has been using the name of Josie Phillips, and her identity was unknown to her employer. For more than a year she had been Cop- pinger’s housekeeper and was entrusted with all *he household property. Coppinger never suspected that she was not honest. Several months ago Mr. Coppinger received a letter from a relative stating that a box containing the ring and other orinkets had been sent him by express. He waited for them, but they never came.

(A Mason Caucus Rounded Up Forty Adherents, Leaving Twenty- Four More to Get. —_—~ Special to the Post-Dispatch. SPRINGFIELD, Il., Jan, 13.—The fight for the United States Senatorship is drawing to a close. All the candidates are in line and declare that they will stay to the ‘finish. Madden and Mason are both confident. rhe country members who have not declared a preference number about thirty. With these thirty votes probably hangs the ‘“‘balance of power,” and to these same votes are bent the work of all the candidates. Mr, Mason claims he has a majority of them, while Alderman Madden says he will receive them all. Mason seems to count the country votes exclusively as his own, and concedes Madden Cook; County, barring’ eight votes, while Madden claims the entire thirty-eight of that county. Gov. John Riley Tanner alone can change the situation by introducing a dark horse, and this he says he will never do. Fram one paragraph in his inaugural address is gathered the ‘dea that he-will «ink or swim with Madden. That paragraph ‘said he would ever remember the good work done for him by his friends, ana he would not forget nor ignore that service. This, too, in the face of the fact that he continually denies that he will take any hand in the muss at all. There are hundrecs of poli- that hold John Riley Tanner to be a monumental liar, and that hts in- augural paragraph proves it. Ex-Gov. Joseph Fifer is looked upen as one that can clear the track of all the resent candidates if he says the word. Fis friends are continually reminding him of the promise made by Tanner, that if he would stand aside in the gubernatorial fight, they woulda make him the United States Senator. ‘Fifer hears this daily, but gives no signs‘ of weakening. The most important event yesterday was a round-up of Mason men. Mr. Mason did not know the eaucus was going to be held, for it was the work of his head pusher. There were thirty-two. members present, ev- ery one of whom got up and declared _him- self for Mason before the world.

WAS NOT SPOK What Governor Altgeld Had Prepared to Deliver at His Successor’s Inauguration. Following is the text of the address prepared for Gov. Tanner's in- auguration by. his predecessor, as furnished in typewritten form for pub- lication by Gov. Altgeld, but which, through the discourtesy of Republicans, was not delivered: “This occasion does not invite extended remarks from me. The world has de- creed that an actor who has played his part shall simply maké his bow and retire from the stage. Men turn their faces toward the rising eun, and so it should be, for while the past may admonish it is the future that inspires. But we may pause long enough to note the character of this occasion and the lesson it teaches. It took the world thousands of years to reach a @oint where such a «cene as this was possible. Mankind struggled through weary and bloody centuries before anything like government was evolved, and then there followed dark ages before it became possible to take the reins of government out of the hands of one political party and place it in the hands of a hostile party with- out bloodshed. The scene which we witness here to-day shows the tri- umph of republican government and teaches us that the journey of man, when viewed from headland to headland, is mounting onward and upward; that passion is retiring and reason is mounting the throne, and we may congratulate ourselves upon the fact that in this great advancement America has set the example for the nations. “The presence of the defeated and retiring party is not necessafy for the peaceful change of administration; yet, in order to add the graces to republican form, it is customary for the retiring party to be represented and participate in the ceremonies of inauguration. And to-day the great party which I have the honor torepresent not only assists in these ceremonies, but it expresses the hope that the new administration will direct the destinies of this mighty State along the paths of honor and of glory. While politically divided we are all Illinoisans, and the greatness and the grandeur of this State rise above all considerations of persons or of party. Her past thrills, her present awes, and her future dazzles the intellect of man. “To the distinguished gentleman who is to stand at her head I extend the most cordial greeting and hearty good wishes. Loving Illinois as I do I shall ap- plaud his every act that tends to her advancement. I have given her four of my best years and have brought ail my offerings to her altar. Had it been necessary to do so I whould have considered life itself but a small sacrifice in her interest, and I retire from her service and from the high office to which her people elect- ed me without any trace of bitterness or disappointment. I have tried to further the best interests of my country, and, while I erred in many cases, they were er- rors of judgment, and I go forth with a peaceful conscience. I have endeavored to carry out those principles that form the basis of free government, and I have acted on the conviction that it would be better to be Governor but for one day and follow the dictates of justice than to hold the office for fifty years by wink- ing at wrong. In my judgment no-epitaph can be written upon the tomb of a — man that will so surely bring the contempt of the ages as to say of im that he held office all his life and never did anything for humanity. “We believe that the institutions of the State are in excellent condition. Some of my friends feel that we have been cleaning house; that we have been putting things in order. Permit me to say that if any of the measures which we have inaugurated should prove beneficial to the country, the people will be in no wise indebted to me, for when a public man gives to his country the best service in his power he has done no more ‘than he agréed to do, and has done no more than the public had a right to expect. I do not indorse the charge tHat republics are ungrateful. I believe thatin the end there is a disposition to give every man his meed. In fact, many men have been loaded by republics with honors which were far beyond their deserts. We turn the affairs of the State over to our success- ors. “IT would remind my distinguished successor that there is no such a thing as repose in the universe; that borh the centripetal and centrifugal laws are constantly at work; that nothing stands still; that nothing is ever perfect; that there ts a perpetual development and a constant disintegration,- and that the in- stitutions of this State must go on developing, reaching a higher and a higher plane successively, or they must retrograde; and I will further say to him that rarely does the hand of fate open the gate to a more alluring pathwiy of glory than ia open to him now. Illinois is already the guiding star of the American constellation. Her people have outstripped all other peoples of the earth, y they will surely shape the destiny of this republic. Their institutions of ever kind and character should be the models for the earth, and the flame of intelli- gence burning on her prairies and by the inland sea must brighten the sky for all people, and there could not possibly be a greater achievement than to as- sist in directing the thought and shaping the institutions of such a people. “But I warn my distinguished friend and successor that the ‘task is not a light one. It is beset with the greatest difficulties, and will require wisdom, courage and intense determination and persistence. The selfish forces of greed are al- Ways ready to tear to pieces the noblest creations of patriotism. Hence it has been well said that the tablets of immortality are harder than flint, and that only perservering geniuS can engrave a name or an act there. “To the members of the great political party to which I have the honor of belonging, let me siay that, while we are relieved of the responsibility of admin- istration, our responsibility in another direction is increased, for in a republic it iz the minority party which creates the sentiment and develops the principles which the Government in the end shall carry out. Not being hampered or em- barrassed by the detail of administration, the minority party can devote its best energies to the discussion of great principles, while the majority party, be- ing obliged to conciliate conflicting interests and to compromise, is in that re- spect hampered and generally spends its force in endeavoring to carry out a policy already determined upon by the country, and is not able to deal in an independent manner with new questions which are from time to time involved. It is 'the minority party that has made progress possible, not only in this coun- try but in Europe. In England it was the minority party that repeatedly forced the Government to adopt new and great reforms. The immortal orators of En- gland spoke for the minority. In our country the great forensic efforts which helped to move the nation forward were made by men who stood in the ranks of the minority. In fact, every great reform in our country had to first confront a hostile majority. In a sense, the mission of the minority is of a higher order than that of the majority. True, it does net deal in spoils, it has no flesh-pots to dis- tribute, but it is its high mission to discover the eternal essence of things and to point the way of justice. “We go out of power with nothing to regret. Conscious of having struggled for a great cause, we smile at the frowns of fate. and go forth with renewed hope and firmer purpose. We need not inquire what were the reasons of our defeat. We know there were some conditions for which we were not responsible, and on account of these conditions the currents began to run against us nearly three years ago, and they ran with such irresistible force two yvears ago that they covered the State like a deluge, submerging everything. In the last campaign the same currents were still running with the same force: other hostile forces were added, which in themselves seemed irresistible. Our party was. obliged to re-form, as it were, in the fage of the enemy. It eliminated many elements cf weakness, elements which for years had tended to neutralize the party and make it “mpotent, so that it stood for no definite or great principle, and was in- capable of making an aggressive fight. After eliminating these elements cf weakness the party made one of the grandest campaigns ever witnessed. ‘“‘But this all belongs to the past. No American has a right to stand with his face toward that which is gone. Government is the constant meeting of new conditions. It is not the things of yesterday, but the things of to-morrow. that must engage our attention. The principles we hold are the only ones upon which free government can endure. Let us renew our devotion to them and kindle anew our enthusiasm. Let us not follow the example cé those who try to use the names of Jefferson and Jackson to hide the most un-Democrat c principles, and even the most destructive practices. In so far as the new administration. Federal and State, shall adhere to the great doctrines of human right, and shail adhere to those great principles that lie at the very basis of republican institu- tions, let us give them our hearty commendation and support, but let us be watchful, and whenever is shall seem to us that the welfare and prosperity of our great country are being endangered, let us raise the alarm, and let us all the time feel an abiding confidence that right will in the end prevail.”’ m 52 h tics of the State. ered all connection with the receivership of the Northern Pacific road in order that ho dicapped. repared for the consideration of the two ames. and the session will be anything but tame.

MANAGERS OF TRUST COMPANIES RESENT A CRITICISM. BRECKINRIDGE JONES’ REPLY. Says Gov. Stephens Helped Frame the Law That He Objects to in His Message. In Gov. Stephens’ Inaugural address Mon- day he made statements against trust com- panies, to which representatives of those concerns in St. Louis take exception. In discussing banks and banking, he touched upon the trust cOmpanies in the following language: “In this connection I will say I believe the statute defining the powers of trust companies is objectionable, because it con- fers upon them a multitude of privileges. It authorizes them tee e in business as trustees, and to jeopard trust funds by becoming sureties on all kinds of offivia! and judicial bonds, and by guaranteeing the fidelity of pwhblic officers and the finan- cial agents of private individuals. It also authorizes them to buy and sell regal estate, and engage in the banking businé@ss and to become heavy borrowers vastly in excess of their capital. When Vice-President Breckenridge Jones of the wren Valley Trust Co. had his attention ¢alled by a Post-D‘spatch re- porter to the statements, he wrote the fol- lowing reply to Gov. Stephens’ criticisms: The Governor not having ever been in the trust company business, is, of course, not familiar with the details of the business, and doubtle:s he has forgotten some of the arguments that have induced the trust com- panies to operate under the statutes as they now stand. At the time the present law giving .the trust companies the liberal pow- ers of which he complains was passed, it was with his approval. At that time he was a stockholder in this company, and co- operated with me in securing the passage of the bill. At that time all the provisions of the bill were most thoroughly discussed be- fore the committee at Jefferson City, and at first we encountered active opposition of the non-resident surety companies, who, through learned coun:el (Messrs. Mat G. Reynolds and Wm. B. Thompson), thorough- ly argued all the points against the bill be- fore the committee. The full discussion then given our bill resulted in removing the opposition, so that the bill was passed. “One of the arguments in favor of the broad powers was that in this Western coun- try where there is not the den:ity of povu- lation nor the aggregation of wealth that there is in the East, there was not enough of any one line of business to enable a com- pany to live, and that it was only by com- bining. several lines of business, getting some profits here and some there, that a company here in the West could prosper. In other word:, as the merchants would say, the company must run ‘a general store.’ ““Moreover, there has been for years a vast deal of talk about breaking the er:p of Wall Street in this section of the country. That can only be done by opuilding up here in St. Louis, the gateway of the West, a finan- cial center that will be strong enough to meet the financial needs of the Wet. If our lawmakers are in sympathy with that View, and I feel sure that a majority of them, and also the Governor, are. then I feel entirely satisfied that, on looking into the matter, the sams conclusion will he reached that was arrived at when the law referred to was passed. "That law has been in operation five or Six years, and not a citizen of this or any other State has lost a single dollar under it. Ample supervision by a State officer is given, and never in a single instance has the officer having such supervision in-+«any report or elsewhere recommended any change in the law. Nor has there during all that time been made to such officer a single complaint by any customer of any trust company. No one in the busine-s and none of the customers of the company have asked for any change. “If our home companies are shut out of the surety business the result w'!ll be mere- ly to turn that business over to non-resi- dent companies in the East. The surety business,-as done by the home companies, is entirely safe, and I doubt if all the home companies put together have in al] their history lost as much as $500 by reason of the Lability assumed in that line of business. “I feel satisfied that no action detrimental to the trust companies will be taken by this Legislature. I think the remarks as made by the Governor were unjust to a large business that is doing a great deal to de- velop the State, and whose instrumentali- ties are now giving labor to a large number of laborers and others in this city. That sort of blanket criticism may suggest to the minds of our customers some trouble which even the Governor did not have in mind when he wrote it. I think a fairer method would have been for him to have made his suggestions specific. We are not disturbed about the matter. A thorough discussion of trust company powers, prac- tices and restrict'ons will advertise our busi- ness and in the end I doubt not the Gov- ernor will find that the Insurance Commis- sion he will appoint has ample powers under the law to correct any supposed or possible evils.’’ 5 Ex-Judge George A. Madill of the U'n'on Trust Company was very brief in his com- ment upon the statements, “TI disagree with Gov. Stephens, said Judge Madill. “The statements show a‘ mis- conception of what the statutes authorize the companies to do and also of what they do in faet. ; “That covers the entire matter,” said Judge Madill when asked to reply at great- er length. President James B. Case of the Lincoln Trust Company, was equally terse. “The use of the word jeopardize, in speaking of trust funds for the proper handling of which trust Companies become sureties, creates a wrong impression,’’ said Mr. Case. “Tt has never been found in this State that the statutes confer too great powers upog trust companies.”’ HOLLY SPRINGS ROUTE TO FLOR- IDA.

The Post-Dispatch has already com- mented upon the figures showing the great strength of the silver cause. The complete official returns of the recent: election ‘show how small was the per- centage of loss that the Democratic party sustained fram the defection of the bolt- ers, In 1892 Mr. Cleveland was elected President by 46.08 per cent of the total In 1896 Mr, Bryan polled 45.07 per cent of the’total. The net loss to the party from the Hannacrat bolt was l.lpercent. At last we have an ab- solutely accurate numerical measure of the Wall Street Democracy, But the final percentages reveal an- other interesting story. In 1892 Mr. Har- rison, the defeated candidate, polled 42.81 per cent of the total vote. Mr. Bryan, in the campaign recently closed, polled 45.07 per cent, or 226 per cent more than the entire voting: strength of the Republican party four years ago. Here is a measure of the strength of the silver issue. The conclusion is irresistible that many more Republicans than Democrats abandoned their party on thatissue. | Another conclusion that is irresistible in view of these figures, and of McKin- ‘lincrease Of the salaries attached to all 1 the Scheme and Charter; in other words, me entire assessment, by percentage, up to that sum.” What a tremendous power this would be to lodge with one man the figures will show. The last*tota] assessment of IIli- nois was $847,191,516. Gov. Tanner’s prop- osition is to empower one man to much more than double this*assessment. If the percentage of increase could be equit- ably distributed the plan would be more defensible, but Illinois experience with the State Board of Equalization holds out no hope of such a result. That Board has continued to assegs the property of cor- porations at less tham 6ne-tenth of its value in the face of a Supreme Court de- cision, almost mandatory in its’ terms, that the Board is without power to as- sess for less than the cash valuations. If the corporations cam thus control a Board what could they do with one man? The Tanner plan is wrong in principle in proposing to make taxation am exec- utive instead of a legislative power. It is wrong in theory, and that it would be found unjust in practice there is not the least reason to doubt. NO INCREASE OF CITY SALARIES. The proposition to amend the City Charter, so as to provide for a large the important offices, will be seen in its true light after a perusal of the article in another column, showing how city sal- aries havd been increased during the last decade. The figures given prove that the city has been extremely generous toward its employes-in all departments. The sal- aries of many of these public servants have increased 100 per cent And the force of city employes has more than doubled since the adoption of the Scheme and Charter. The Post-Dispatch cites a few examples of the increase in salary, aggre- gating $20,000, and shows that new offices have been created during the past ten years with salaries amounting to $143,700 perannum,. Many of these offices are un- necessary and in the nature of sinecures. Yet the increases proposed are in no case modest. The $5,000 salaries are to be raised to $7,500 or even $10,000 at a jump. The $3,000 salaries are to rise to $4,000, and so on, as if St. Louis were a city of millionaires. The truth is that the cost of running the city government has increased during the last fifteen or twenty years out of all proportion to the salaries, wages or other income of the people who pay the taxes. Under existing systems of taxation, nearly the whole burden falls upon the poorer, non-property owning: classes. It is beyond doubt that the income of these classes, in salaries, wages, or from other sources, is less than it was at the time the salaries of city officials were fixed by the pay of public officials has risen, while the earnings of the taxpayers have de- creased. Instead of an increase of salaries, there should be a decrease not only in the sal- aries paid, but in the number of employes. In other words, the cost of running the city government should be reduced at least 20 per cent, ‘ The Post-Dispatch will oppose any in- crease of the salaries of public officials until conditions change for the better for the masses of the people. And it serves notice now that if the amendments to the city charter include any increase of sal- aries or of the cost of running the city government, it will fight their adoption with all the resources it can command. THE MULLANPHY FUND. At last it appears that something is to be done towards settling the vexed ques- tion of the Mullanphy Fund. The bill introduced into the Council, to authorize the Mayor to file a biM in equity in behalf of the city, which, is the trustee of the Fund, to get instructions from the Cir- cuit Court as to the disposition of the Fund as near as possible in accordance with the testator’s intent, is a step in the right direction. It ought to pass without delay. ' If Bryan Mullanphy were alive, he would find no difficulty in pointing out channels in which this fund could be used to relieve destitution and suffering. The need is even more urgent than in his day. For the very reason that there is no longer a vast West to be settled, the condition of the people who get stranded in St. Louis, without work and often without hope, is more desperate than it as a sincere man in his | In any case, what is done in Maine amounts to nothing im Democratic pol- itics, With Chauncey Depew, who gets a salary of $50,000, no doubt to-day is the best day and to-morrow a better one. There are many thousands of Mr. De- pew’s fellow creatures, however, who, while disposed to be equally as optimistic as the richly fed after-dinner orator, can scarcely feel much confidence in to-mor- row when they have had but one meal, or perhaps none, to-day. The substantial recognition of the Post- Dispatch’s course as an independent Democratic newspaper should encourage all other newspapers to stand by their honest opinions.

MARY LANGUISH ROBBED BY CRAZY MURPHY’S FRIENDS. WILLIAM CANTY IDENTIFIED. eel a Choked and Kicked Her, Tore Her Clothes, Took Her Rings and a Purse Containing $82.90. William Canty, one of the Mickey Mack gang of crooks recently released by Crazy Murphy, is again in the hands of the police. This time he is charged with having rob- bed and assaulted Mrs. Mary Languish at her home, 1610 North Ninth street, Sunday afternoon, Mrs. Languish has positively identified Canty as one of her assailan‘s. The other is still at large. The assault was extremely brutal. The thugs choked Mrs. Languish until she was almost insensible, tore her clothing from her body, robbed her of money and jewelry and then kicked her in ‘the s‘de until she was unconscious. Then they walked out of the parlor unconcernedly and *ried to sell their victim’s jewelry to her next door neighbor. Mrs. Languish was alone in the house when the robbers effected an entrance. While im the kitchen, about 3 o’clock, she heard a knock at the front door. She thought it was her daughter’s music teacher and she hurried through the house to open the door. — aes the latch and peeped out cau- tiously. There was a strange man standing on the steps. Mire. Languish did not like his looks and tried *o cloge the door. The man threw his weight against it, pushing it open and forc- ing Mrs. nguish back into the room. Then he closed the door and grabbed Mrs. Lan- guish by the throat. At the same time she was caught by the shoulders from behind and forced to the floor. The man who had entered the front door held the woman by the throat. The other robber, who had come in through the kitchen door, knelt on her shoulders. The man who had hold of her throat said to his companion: ‘Hold her tight and if she yells stick the knift in her.”’ Mrs. Languish moved her head as well as she could and looked at the man who . was kneeling on her shoulders. He held @ long knife in his right hand. He wes short and stout and wore a black slouch hat, while the other man was tall and wore a derby. The tall man began searching for Mrs. Languish’s pocket. She struggled and the men redoubled their efforts:to get into her pocket. When they found they could not they tore her wrapper from her body. The short man tore her wedding ring from her finger and removed a smaller plain gold ring from her other hand. The taller of the men caught her by the th n and the other man kicked her in the side repeatedly untilé she was un- conscious. & When she regained consciousness Mrs. Languish ran out of the house minus her wrapper and told the neighbors of the rob- bery. A poss® was formed and the streets for blocks around were scoured, but there was no trace of the robbers. When Mrs. Languish examined her torn wrapper she found that her pocketbook, containing $82.90, had been taken. The police were notified. Tuesday night they arrested William Canty. He was taken to Mrs. Languish’s home and she posi- tively identified him as the man who came through the front door. rs, Langu is confined to her bed as a result of her injuries. When seen Wednesday morning she said: “IT am sure the robbers hung around the house all afternoon yesterday, waiting for a chance to get in. bout 2:30 o’clock a boy about 15 years old came to the front door. He wanted to sell me a ring for 5 cents, It Was an ordinary popcorn bag ring and I or- dered him away.

LETTER IN THE WASTE BASKET. Mrs. George L. Weber Pasted the Scraps Together and Instituted Divorce Proceedings. Judge Fisher heard testimony Wednesday morning and all of Tuesday afternoon in Bertha Weber’s suit for maintenance egainst her husband, George L. Weber, ‘‘the Drummer Poet.”’ She has a divorce suit pending against him, and the salacious testimony on which she relies for a decree of separation, was rehearsed in the present proceeding. Some of this testimony was highly amus- ing; all of it sensational, and some alto- gether too intense for publication. The story of Weber’s life, as h is told in a novel which was offered in evidetice, its romantic enough to please the most fastid- MISS LEONA A. KNIGHT-BRANDT. ious young schoolgirl. Mrs. Weber's ‘story, as told by the petition in the case and on the witness stand Tuesday was common- Ind., in 1872. At that time Mrs. Weber was a simple country maid, without the ad- vantages of an ordinary common school education, but with $1,000 in the lining of her shirt waist. Weber was a gay young man, with some experience as a traveling salesman and ‘as a theatrical manager. He married the girl and her thousand dollars. Weber was a good husband until Septem- ber, 1894, the pe'ition states, barring the fact that he found fault with everything that happened around the house. In Septem- ber, 1894, he left his wife, and has not done anything for hersince, He isthe proprietor of a cigar store at 523 Walnut street, and Mrs. Weber thought he could afford to pay her at least $75 per month. In support of this Mrs. Weber took the stand Tuesday afternoon. She is not a good- looking woman, but she looked as if she had something up her sleeve, and the specta- tors were not disappointed. Mrs. Weber began with a brief resume of introduced the cause of the separat'on a oun woman known as Miss Leona A. night-Brandt, who, to use Mrs. Weber's expression, wrote “‘story books.”’ Mrs. Weber stated that Miss Knight wrote a novel and made her husband the hero of it, giving his right name all the way through.

This, she said, Was partly because he wanted her to go on the stage and pose in living pictures. Mrs. Victor was also nursing a grudge against her father’s attorney on account of his cross-examination of hor mother and sister. Several times she gathered herself as though to spring upon the lawyer, but man- aged to control herself. On the stand she was at first defiant, and then sullen. She told of finding the letters and of mailing a number of letters from her father to the woman who was able to inspire him to bad poetry. She gave her opinion of both in un- measured terms, and talked until she got through. No matter how many objections were raised, or how often the Judge said, ‘‘Never mind that,’’ she was there to have her say, and she had it. The father was also present court was adjourned until Wednesday at the conclusion of Mrs, Victor’s testimon Aside from the letter captured Weber and her daughter, the plaintiff had as evidence Knight. The title was: “Annie Weldon’s Secret; or, Doomed to Sorrow.” it was said to be a collaborate effort by ‘Leona A. Knight (Bay Leaf) and George L. Weber (the Drummer t).”” The title page also gave the cheerful! information that the book would be dramatized under the title ‘‘Doomed to Sorrow.”’ The bock was doomed to even a worse fate, and the drama has not yet delighted romantic matinee audiences. “Annie Weldon’s Secret’ is a literary curi- osity. It is a “Cher Sisters’’ attempt at novel writing. The hero of the novel is George Weber, and the picture of George L. eber adorns the cover page. The picture of Leona A. Knight-Brandt, with her ad- dress given variously as Gibson City and franklin, La., also appears. When a Post-Dispatch reporter asked for a copy yesterday, Mr. Weber said: “Certainly. Might as well give ’em away. Can’t sell a good book nowadays.”’ Throughout the book George Weber occu- pies the center of the stage, and monopoliz- es the calcium light. Always heroic, he aks hearts right and left, and winds up by marrying the wrong girl, and humming some of his own poetry. Here is the novel’s conception of George Weber: “The young girl’s heart beat rapidly as she etepped forward to meet the man she secretly adored. Who would not love him! Tall, of commanding figure, he was easily the peer of all others in the room. is handsome head, as per- fect as a Greek god’s, was thrown well back upon his square shoulders, and his black eyes flashed with hope and joy. His face was a* handsume as his heart was brave, and his features as clear cut asa cameo. Little wonder that An- nie Weldon had surrendered to him her heart!’’ Weber, as he appeaered in court, {s short and fat, with a puffy, inexpressive face. His eyes are small and sleepy looking, with heavy lids and a wise look. His head is bald, and the finishing touch ven by a fierce mustache and goatee. Weber has inflicted a number of stanzas throughout the novel, and ends the work by one which says the book is a story of his life. A glance at it will show that as regards meter the outburst is not according to Hoyle: Like the icy breath of winter, That spring zephyrs waft away, Sorrow fled on fleeting pinions, From this circle for joy’s array, Whose history of strange events May meet the real actors on life's stage, Devoid nom de plumes pretense; Just as described on each written page. Weber talked of his side of the case after eourt adjourned Tuesday.

I sent some of them to her and she wrote letters about them, that’s all.’ In this way Weber accounted for some of Mrs. Knight-Brandt’s epistolary outbursts, but not for the one referred to in court, in which it was stated that “hubby” was al- together too cold-hearted, and wouldn’t he please call? When Weber was placed upon the stand Wednesday he was in a most loquacious mood. He began by announcing in a loud voice that he was George Leo Weber, cigar man and poet. He was asked to tell the story of his life, and started off on a long, rambling account of himself, beginning at the time of his marriage in Monroe Coun- ty, Indiana, in 1872. He was promptly choked off by Judge Fisher, ard asked to confine himself to the facts in the case. After this Weber grew sentimental, and started to tell of the long hours spent away from his home and babies, but again Judge Fisher called a halt. All through the direct examination Weber tossed boquets at himself, making himself out a model husband and indulgent father. He had gotten that far along when Judge Fisher grew tired and ordered the noon re- NEW YORK’S REVIVAL. Moody’s Place at Cooper Union Filled by Dr. Chapman of Philadelphia.

OPTICAL CO., 608-0 LIVE STREET-—608 Six of the most prominent grain dealers along the line of the Missouri Pacific Rail- | road arrived in St. Louis almost simultan- eously Wednesday morning. They came from widely separated points, but had not been in town half an hour when they all *zot together. Still they stoutly in- sisted that their meeting was a coincidence. H. F. Hall and J. A. Robinson were the first arrivals. They came here from New Orleans. They are partners in the grain dealing firm of Hall & Robinson of Kansas City. The morning Missouri Pacific train brought in Frank Baker, of Greenleaf & Baker, Afchison, Kan.; A. Denton, of Den- ton Bros.} Leavenworth, Kan.; A. C. Davis, of Topeka, Kan., and Mae Greer, of Coun- selman & Co., Kansas City. Hall and Robinson, Greenleaf and Baker and Denton Brothers are practically grain buyers for the Missouri Pacific. They are what fs known as purchasing and shipping agents. When smaller dealers on the line want grain they place their order with these firms. The firms buy the grain and ship it direct to the purchaser over the Missouri Pacific route. A. C. Davis and Counselman & Company made similar shipments over the Rock Island road. Their interests are identical. A Post-Dispatch reporter saw all of the gentlemen. They stoutly maintained that their meeting here was purely accidental. They said they were just here to look around for a day or so and had no axes “% erind. Those who claim to know say at their presence here means the opening\ of the rain rate war forecasted in last Monday’s ost-D spatch. There are no grain dealers in the West more interested than these six in “he effort to break the combination against St. Louis in favor af the Gulf points on grain rates. The advantage accorded New Orleans amd gulf points over New York and Atlantic sea- boa points has always been opposed by large grain dealers of the class to which these six belong. They prefer to ship to Eastern rather than to Southern export points, but the rates now in force on the Missouri Pacific and Rock Island do not permit them to do so to any great extent. hey are all elevator owners, but with the bulk of the grain going South as at present only a small proportion of the grain from Western points finds its way into their elevators. If the grain from the West were shipped to the Atlantic @eaboard via St. Louis or Kansas City the change would not only benefit the market at both places, according to grain dea‘ers, but it would mean a sub- stantial increasé in the income of the six visitors. Those who know all this believe that the six are here to ask the Missouri Pacific to make such a rate on grain as will permit its shipment east through St. Louis and Kansas City. It is said that they will ask that the Mis- souri Pacific do at least as much along this line as the Burlington is doing. The Bur- lington thas steadily used its influence to have grain shipped through St. Louis to Atlantic export points rather than to Guif points. Shippers on commission ateng the Mis- souri Pacific and Rock Island have for a long time been asking for a similar conces- sion. The movement started in St. Lous to have the discrimination in favor of Gulf points looked into by the Southwestern Traffic As- sociation aroused these dealers to action. It is known that each of the six gentle- men who arrived Wednesday testified at the star chamber meeting of railroad men held in Kansas City ten days ago. They asked that the Missouri Pacific make at least as good a rate as the Burlington on grain shipments BPaet instead’ of trying to throw the export business into New Or- leans through Coffeeville. Such action by the Mtesouri Pacific would mean similar action by the Rock Island, 8t. Joe and Grand Isiand and other Kansas and Nebraska lines. The sextette kept their movemen‘s Wed- nesday morning a profound secret. If they called at the issouri Pac‘fic offices the matter was + quiet. A Post-Dispatch reporter, who called “here, was informed that Traffic Manager Stith was out ‘“‘on business.’ His assistants said they knew nothing of the presence of the grain men in the city. They were sure they had nos called at the office. Waste no money. Buy Salvation Oil, the only good liniment. It kills all pain. BROKERAGE DEFINED AS USURY. Justice Hanley’s Important Decision in a Money-Lending Case. In a decision rendered Wednesday in the suit of the New York Finance Co. against Thomas and F. M. Bell, Justice of the Peace William J. Hanley finds againat the plaintiff under the usury law of 1891. The law gives the defendant the right in a suit for debt to set up usury for a de- fense and applies all he has paid as inter- est in exceas of 8 per cent, the legal rate, to extinguishing the original indebtedness. The suits in question were on promissory notes ‘for $20 and $25. The evidence showed that the defendants paid various sums to the plaintiff as “brokerage,” practiced by money lenders to cover up usury, cogs addition had given additional e these last notes in I J Hanley not only allowed the defen- dants’ counter claim for the money paid as ‘brokerage,’ but also their claim for the costs they id in defending the suits [n lilinole, holdirg that the latter suits were fraudulent because based on usury. Fy The defendants’ counter claims being al lowed amounted to sufficient to wi out the original indebtedness of $45, besides the — terest of 8 per cent per annum, o Justice of the Peace has ever before so far in such cases, victims of usur fa usually to appeal to the Ctr the money lenders.

CZAR ZIEGENHEIN THINKS IT IS A BLOW AT HIM. MR. KOTANY IS_ RETICENT. Col. Bell Doesn’t Know, ‘but Thinks the Proposed License Commis- sioner a Good Thing. Many citizens are asking: What influences are behind the bill creating a License Com- | missioner? The answers are merely an index of how the person questioned regards the bill. Collector Heinrich Ziegenhein says it is 'a political scheme, hatched by iniquitous spoilsmen. Excise Commissioner Bell won't make a | guess, but he says it is a good thing and ought *o be pushed along. Councilman Max Kotany, who could tell but won't, labors to make the impression that Max Kotany is the only force behind the bill. Nobody doubts that strong influences are at work. They are supposed to be non- partisan but the Collector and his friends see in it a débp, dark. political piot. The office ¢reated by the bill will be an expensive one. The Commissioner will re- oie $5,000, his chief deputy 500, his as- sistant deputy $1,800. He is to have an un- limited number of clerks. Two of them will receive $1,200 each and tho rest not to exceed A large force will be needed. In order to justify this large expense, much greater efficiency in license collections will have to be shown. The bill {ts a virtual arraignment of Col. lector Ziegenhein’s administration of his of- fice. The Czar believes ita introduction at i this time is intended to hurt his chances for getting the Mayoralty nomination. The Collector is defiant. “Let them do their worst,’’ he declaimed, looking quite —— ——_— - 7 fierce. “They can't-hurt me. I have the confidence of the people. The merchanis’ licenses are collected pr Uy. Such an office would not increase the revenue be. cause all licenses are collected sow as fast as they become due. I can’t collect more than is due, can I?” “Don’t you think the bill reflecta on you?” “No. It can't reflect on me. I ain't done nothing.” : | “Do you know who fs behind she bgt “No, and I don’t care.

STODDART’S FRIENDS AIDED HIS REMOVAL. ona THIRD NATIONAL BANK CHANGES Mr. Huttig Becomes Vice-President, but Other Officials Remain Unchanged. oo ae The new Board of Directors of the Third National Bank met at noon Wednesday and elected George T. Cram president of the bank, CC. H. Huttig, vice-president; G. W. Galbreath, cashier, and J. R. Cooke, assist- ant cashier. Mr. Huttig is the only new officer. He succeeded Mr. Stoddart. It was learned Wednesday that the prox- les which defeated six of the nine former directors uf the bank were voted by Brokers G. A. Edwards and Charles Hodgman, Mr. Hodgman said to a reportef that he got proxies and helped cause a change in the bank because many stockholders desired to have a new management. He insisted that the change waé not made to get rid of Mr. Stoddart. Charles Parsons, President of the® State Bank, whose proxy in the Third National was obtained by Mr. Hod an, called at the Third Nationa! Wednesday and vowed to Mr. Stoddart that he would never again give @ proxy. He said he did not know the use that was to be made of his stock. The reorganization of the Board of Direct- ors of the Third National Bank which was reported in the 6 o'clock edition of the Post- D‘spatch was the principal topic of con- versation in financial circles Vednesday. The old board, which was looking forward to re-election without a fight, was defeated by the opposition ticket which hopped up Monday. . The old board consisted of George T. Cram, . O, Nelson, F. W. Oliver, T. A. Stoddard, Cc. H. Huttig, F. H. Luddington, W. T. Wil- kins, E. 8. Orr and T. E. Tutt. The opposition ticket that carried the day was made up of George F. Cram, G. W. . Sonn N. Drummond, John 8. _ Cc. H. Huttig, J. B. M. Kehlor, H. . Knight, E. 8. Orr and W. B. Wells. Mesere. Cram, Huttig and Orr of the old board are in the new board because they were on both tickets. The most palpable result of the election was the certainty that Mr.,.T. A. Stoddard, who has been with the bank for forty years, could not be chosen Vice-President. This fact gave the reorgafiization the color of @ personal hght, but the election of six new directors fndicated that a change in the vice- presidency was by no means the sole ccn- — to be expected. e most commonly accepted story was that J. B. M. Kehlor, prominent as a miller, oné of the new directors, worked the coup, What his purpose was could only be guessed at, bu? a suit now pending in Circujt Court Room No.4 seemed to give a cue to the gossipers. The suit is styled the Third National Bank against J. B. M. Kehlor, under the firm name of J. B. M. Kehior & Co. It is fora balance of $5,602.62 cla’med to be due on Keh- lor’s account with the bank. This suit grew out of the transactions of the Kehlor Commission Company. which Mr. Kehlor was said to have formed in or- der that he might back several of hia young men in a venture of their own. Last fall the Third National Bank sued J. B. M. Kehlor for $5,602.63. The plaintiff alleged that J. B..M. Kehjor, under the name of J. B. M. Kehlor & Co., became indebted to it for $9,415.15 for money loaned during last March an@ April. On May 4, the defendant paid $248.00 and on. July 3, $3,722.27 on account. Suit was brought for the balance, $5,602.63. The story toki at the time was that Keh- lor permitted the Kehlor Commission Co. to draw on h‘s per:onal account at the Third National in case of necessity, and that the members of the company drew more ex- tensively than Mr. Kehlor desired. The suit and the story about it stirred up some feeling. While Mr. Kehlor ap- peared in the role of a big merchant who had tried to encourage young men and was being held lable by the bank for the sins of others, persons not friendly to him said that he was actually the Kehlor Commission (o., ard that the young men were not to blaine. Mr, Kehlor was then a large stockholder in the Third National, but not a director. Now he is a director and, in one sense, a plaintift and defendant in the same suit. It remains for the future to show whether the new board will pugh the suit as the old one did. Sometime ago Mr. Kehlor made answer to the plaintiff's petition. He entered a gen- enal denial. Mr. Stoddard was asked Wednesday whether the suit against Kehlor was re- sponsible for his defeat for re-election as a director, and therefore as vice-president. He said he could not see that the sult was the Cause, as it Was not authorized by him, bys o7 the whole Board of Directors. “IT met to-day several stockholders,” said Mr. Stoddard, ‘“‘who told me that they gave proxies for the election without knowing that their shares were to be voted as thev were. I knew nothing of the oposition tick- et until Monday.’ DROWNED AT THE POOR-HOUSE. Old Man Endress Found Floating in the Reservoir.

Heart troubles, at least among Ameri- cans, are certainly increasing and while this may be largely due to the excitement and worry of American business life, it is more often the result of weak stomachs, of poor digestion. % eal, organic heart disease is incurable; but not one case in a hundred of heart trouble is organic. The close relation between heart trouble and poor digestion is because both organs are controlled by branches of the same great nerves, the Sympathetic and Pneu- mogastric. In another way, also, the heart is af- ted by that form of poor digestion, which causes as and fermentation from half digested food; there is a feeling of Oppression and heaviness in the chest caused by pressure of the distended stom- ach on the heart and lungs, interfering with their action; hence arises palpitation and short breath. oor digestion also poisons the blood, makes it thin and watery, which irritates and weakens the heart. he most sensible treatment for heart trouble is to improve the digestion and to insure the prompt assimilation of food. 8 can best be done by the regular use, after meals, of some safe, pleasant and effective digestive preparation, like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. which may be found at most drug stores and which con- tain valuable, harmless digestive elements, in a pleasant, convenient form. _It is safe to say that the regular, per- sistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at meal time will cure any form of stomach hoy except cancer of stomach. ull size packages of the Tablets sold by most from is at 40 cents or by mail Marshall - sane 3 ie Rae tiie. 1, Mich. | ~ ol wart Co.

Stephens Has Been Invited to At- tend. Gov. Stephens has been invited to be a guest at the banquet to be given at the Planters’ Hotel Jan. 19 in honor of the fiftieth anniversary of Rey. John Mathews’ entrance to the pulpit of the M. B. Church, South. Bihop Hendr'!x of Kansas C!ty, who will conduct the dedicatory ceremonies at Lafayette Park Church next Sunday, has also been invited to remain here an the Mathews banquet. The laymen of the M. E, Church who are making the arrangements for the dinner in honor of the venerable pastor of Centenary Church at first intended to confine the in- vitations to the laymen and preachers of St. Louis, but they have changéd their minds on account of the large number of requests for invitations from country friends of Dr. Mathews. The committee of arrangements des‘re it to be known that ‘t d!d not intend to rule out the country laymen, but It supposed that they did not cafe to come a long distance to the city to attend the festivity. But so many letters have come from the countr to Murray Carleton of Wear, Boogher Co. that the committee has now concluded to welcome all Methodist laymen from the State of Missouri who desire to attend, pro- viding they will notify Hon. John M. Wood of the Unton Trust Building, who is Chair- man of the Arrangements Committee, before next Saturday. Only men are invited to the banquei. Women are excluded. At least 200 laymen are expected to be present, BOSTON STORE CLOSED. It Is Now in the Hands of Trustee Murray Carleton. The career of the Boston Store. at Sixth and St. Charles streets, has been nipped in the bud.

Mr. Carleton 's now in possession of the Store and an invoice is belng taken. The deed of trust names as preferred cred- itors Otto Cramer in the sum of $6,590, bcr- rowéd money; Mrs, Annie Casey, rowed money; Henry C. Johnston, rowed money; Mary E.

Trustee Carleton refuges (o discuss the company’s qftairs and Mr. Augus:!ne could not be found.

As the odor of cigarettes clings to the clothes, most of the boys postpone their indulgence until after school for fear of detection. The reports received subsequent to those ser.ous for him ‘to undertake a crusade against the habit. ‘“‘We have no control over the children. af- ter they leave the school building,’’ said Prof. Soldan to a Post-Dispatch reporter. ‘There is no smoking around the buildings, so that the only weapon to ibe used is argu- ment. “Dr. Mulhall recently delivered an address on cigarette smoking, which I intend to have reproduced in the publication used as sup- plementary reading in the schools.
