Tools of the Old Man Redeeming His Ante-Election Pledges to the Workers, Six weeks ago the present Municipal As- sembly organized and began to help Onkel Henry Ziegenhein make: history. The preceding four years of Republican lowest ebb. The Democrats promised re- trenchment and increased revenue from & stricter enforcement of the license laws. The Republicans, in their arrogance and confidence, promised nothing to the people, but everything to the workers. It was given out that if the Filley-Ziegenhein arms wer, victorious the Assembly would throw down the bars and invite the rabble to raid the City Treasury. In six weeks legislation has been initiated which, .f it all becomes law, will transfer over $215,000 of the people’s money into the pockets of the push every year. _ Bills for ordinances have been Introduced creating new offices and raising salaries which will call for the éxpenditure of that amount of money. Bills creating new offices have been in- troduced in one house or the other at nearly every session and still they come. One was presented at the last meeting and the jubi- lant push expect that the good work will be kept up right along. / As has been fully explained in the Post- Dispatch the Uthoff bill reorganizing the Street Department, if passed in its present shape, will necessitate an additional ex- penditure for salaries of superintendents, inspectors, etc., in the départment of about $100,000. . The administration agents have vigorous- ly denied this, but the truth has been proven by the figures of Comptroller Stur- geon. At the second meeting of the House of Delegates, Mr. Schumacher introduced an ordinance for special watchmen in some of the parks. It provides for ten from April 1 to Oct. 31 and four from Nov. 1 to March 31 in Forest Park, two in summer and one in the winter at O’Fallon Park, two in the summer and one in the winter at Caron- delet Park, and one in the summer at Benton Park. The cost per annum would be $9,650. At the last meeting of the Council, Mp. | Uthof! opened up his raid on the Treas- ury by introducing a bill creating the office of Second Assistant Associate City Coun- sellor. The bearer of this imposing title, it is provided, shall receive $3,000 a year. At the same meeting Mr. Kratz intro- duced one raising the Morgue-keeper’s sal- ary from $1,100 to $1,200 and giving him an assistant at $800 and a porter at $720. April 30 Mr. Kratz came to the front again with a bill providing for three factory and warehouse inspectors, to be appointed | by the Building Commissioner, under au- thority of the act of the Legislature of 1891, They are to receive $1,200 a year each. The same date Mr. Thuner introduced in the Council a bill increasing License Com- missioner Kalbfell’s force by two clerks, ten inspectors, a stenographer and a Janitor. When the bill was under consideration Salary-Grab Uthoff made a great grand- stand play as a Treasury watch-dog. “If I had known,” he said, “that so large @ force would be required the bill creating the office would not have been passed.” Through his opposition and that of Hof ton and Heckel the stenographer and jant- tor were cut out and the bill passed in that shape. The two <lerks will receive $1,200 each and the inspectors $900 each. That makes a total of $11,400 a year. A bill. tntroduced by Councilman Krats aries of four watchmen at the City Hall, Court-house and Four Courts from $600 te $900 a year. That makes $1,200 a year. A bill, introduced by Councilman Thuner May 18, gives the President of the Board of Public Improvements an issue clerk, at $900 a year, and increases the stenographer and the clerk and messenger from $0 to $75. That makes an increase of $1,260 a year, May 21 Mr. Uthoff introduced (by request) a bill adding one Captain, elght Sergeants and 100 patrolman to the police force. The Captain will receive $1580, the Sergeants S10 and the patrolmen $0 & month. That will e a total of $83,400. | eee fall the Police Board asked for af additional appropriation, but Comptroller Sturgeon took a firm stand and the approe- priation was not made.’ His contention then was that there was no money for the pure pose. In order to get around the difficulty, the men were given ten-day leaves of ab sence without pay. At Tuesday night's meting of the House, Mr. Helms introduced a bill allowing the Inspector of Weights and Measures an ad- ditional inspector at $90), a driver at $000 and a new wagon and horses, The wagon and horses will cost at least S200, and the keep of the horses will be si a year. The expense under the bill wil therefore be $2,280 the first year and $1,900 William J.

Had a Safe Majority in Both Houses Easily Got Through. and Bpecial to the Post-Dispatch. SPRINGFIELD, Il, June 4—The Allen street railway bill was passed by the Sen- ate this morning by. a vote of 3% yeas to 18 nays. The fact that the bill was a special order immediately after the reading of the jour- mal attracted a great many people to the chamber. Edwards continued his fight against the bill to the last. He said: “In view of the fact that the bill has not been read at large in the Senate but twice I Move that it be ordered to a third reading.” Crawford was on his feet in an instant with a motion to table. It was tabled by a vote of 32 yeas to12 nays. The bill was then passed. It was then sent to the House for concurrence in the Senate amendments, THE HOUSE. The Allen Bill Brought Over and Promptly Passed. Special to the Post-Dispatch. SPRINGFIELD, IIL, June 4.—The House passed the tax leyy bill this morning. It provides for the levying of nearly $9,000,000, Johnson of Whiteside asked if this levy would meet the appropriations of this ses- sion, Needles explained that the appropria- tions of this session would probably exceed $10,000,000, but the levy would be sufficient if the State would receive $3,000,000 from other sources. The anti-department store bill was de- feated in the House by a vote of 63 yeas to 77 nays. A fight was made on the con- stitutionality of the bill by Needles, Al- echuler, Salmans and others. The Allen bill was reported to the House shortly after 12 o’clock. The pending question was whether the House shall con- cur in the amendments. Mr. Tisdell moved to non-concur in the amendments. Miller in speaking to this motion said the time for extended debate on this bill had passed. He called attention to the fact that when the Allen bill was pending he had rophesied that the Senate would athend it to such an extent that it would not be recognizable. The referendum clause which led many members to vote for the bill, has been stricken out. These amend- ments will allow the consolidation of com- panies and fixes the minimum fare for twenty years at 5 cents. This bill is no bet- ter than the old Humphrey bills. Mr. Alschuler said there was no demand for this legislation except by street car in- terests, which have waxed fat and grown great on the people of Chicago. Salmans spoke in favor of the Dill. He said that the objectionable feature of the Humphrey bill was that it took away Chicago home rule. The Allen bill does not take from people the rights they now enjoy. It simply gives the City Council the right to extend franchises for these com- from Chicago papers showing that the journals which had fav- ored the Allen bill are now denouncing it as asnare, which was passed by the House only that the Senate might tack on ob- jectionable amendments. McLauchlan and Stoskopf spoke on the motion to non-concur and Selby predicted that if the bill was passed its operation would shame those who opposed it. He said th measure was a compromise and pro- tects the interest of the people and that it accorded to capital that protection to which it was entitled. Allen quoted from the East 8t. Louis bridge bill, which he said would allow the Bridge Company to construct a railway to Chicago if it liked. Miller and Tisdell both voted for it and he believed they were right. . ‘ isdell’s motion to non-concur in the Sen- ate amendment was laid on the table and on motion of Selby the amendments were concurred in by a vote of 82 yeas to 70 nays. Bryant was absent. sg A ROUND MILLION. Big Slush Fund at Springfield to Pass the Lobby Bills. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, June 4.—It" will cost the backers of two bills now pending before the Legislature in Springfield, $1,000,000 to have them enacted into laws, says a Chicago dis- patch to the Herald, The money will be paid to legislators. One of these is the gas company consolida- tion and frontage bill, in which the Chicago Gas Trust and other gas companies are in- terested, and which will cost $250,000. The other is the Allen street railroad bill, which authorizes the City Council to extend the franchises of the cable roads for fifty years. It fs said that $750,000 has been raised to se- cure the passage of this measure. The bills are intended to shut out competition and to : “wreate great monopolies, \With $1,000,000 at its disposal, the lobby is setting a price never dreamed of before, and no one doubts that many members of the Legislature will have comfortable for- tunes at the close of the session as the re- sult of their votes on these bills. The hand- lers of the million dollar fund for the pur- chase of legislation have the fewest doubts of all on that point. Visitors at the Capital.

The Senator Said Republican Promises Made in Last Year’s Platform Are Not Kept. WASHINGTON, June 4.—The Senate met at 11 a. m. to-day with a view to expedit- ing the tariff bill. Two speeches were an- nounced for the day, one by Mr. Mantle (Silver Rep.) of Montana on the wool schedule of the tariff bill and another by Mr. Butler (Pop.) of North Carolina on his joint resolution to amend the constitution so as to give Congress the power to im- pose income taxes. Mr. Mantle was recognized at the open- ing of the session and spoke at length. Senator Mantle stated the objections ofthe wool growers of the country to the wool schedule of the tariff bill. He said the promises of the Republican platform of ample protection to wool growers had nat been carried out. He enumerated the ob- jections of the wool growers as follows: 1. To the skirting clause. 2. To the ad valorem duties third~ class wools. 8. To the admission of washed wools on second-class without payment of additional duties. 4.To the admission of washed and scoured wools on the third-clasgs without the peveeen: of additional duties. 5. To the imperfect classifications which permit evasions. In concluding his remarks he quote) from a speech delivered by President McKinley to the Ohio wool growers in 1893 and com- menting upon the speech said he com- mended these utterances pare to the distinguished Senator from that State (Hanna), whose re-election, he said, will depend upon next fall’s campaign. Mr. Mantle declafed that no. protective tariff can ever again endure in this nation which does not fully guard the interests on known as raw materials—and among these he declared the protection of wool is the most important. It is the keystone to the great arch of protection and unless it be well guarded and preserved the whole structure must fall to the ground. Senator Butler, in the course of a speech this afternoon on the income tax, referred to the “indecent haste’’ with which the pooling bill was being urged immediately after the recent decision of the United ae Supreme Court against the anti-trust aw. Senator Cullom, Chairman of the Inter- state Commerce Committee, resented this statement, stating that the anti-pooling bill was not being pressed with indecent haste, and that such a statement was a misrepre- sentation of fact. Mr. Chilton, a member of the Interstate Committee, in turn differed in toto with Chairman Cullom and said the pooling bill had not been seriously urged until after the recent decision of the Supreme Court on the trust law. REED SERVES NOTICE. The Senate Sugar Schedule Cannot Pass the House. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, June 4.—Speaker Reed has served notice on the Republican leaders in the Senate, says a Washington dispatch, that the sugar schedule reported by the Finance Committee can never be agreed to in the House of Representatives. This no- tice, coming on top of all the scandal and criticism that the schedule has stirred up, has convinced its advocates that it will have to be abandoned. Before this they had doubts as to their ab‘l'ty to get it through the Senate, but were inclined to attempt it. Speaker Reed's notice has probably given them no alternative but the acceptance.of the House schedule. THE POSTAL CONGRESS. The Trip of the Delegates to the Lead- ing Cities Has Begun. WASHINGTON, June 4.—A special train of nine finely appointed Pullman cars left here at 9 o'clock this morning over the Pennsylvania road, carrying the. Universal Postal Congress on its trip about the coun- try. About 140 persons were aboard, com- prising most of the delegates from foreign countries, the United States delegates and postal officials, including Assistant Post- masters-General Heath and Shallenberger, together with the ladies of the party. The train was in chargge of Tourist Agent Bell and consisted of four sleeping cars, eom- posite, compartment and observation cars and two dining cars. The trip will occupy about nine days and will embrace many of the leading cities, the stops, however, usu- ally being only for a few hours. HOUSER AND KOHLSAAT. At It Tooth and Nail Over the México Consulship. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 4.—The fight between Proprietor Houser of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat and Proprietor Kohlsaat of the Chicago Times-Herald for possession of the rich plum of Consul-General to Mex- ico was reopened to-day. Editor Henry King of the Globe-Democrat arrived thie morning to overthrow the vaunted pull of Editor Kohlsaat, which threatens to leave ‘“Brother-in-Law” Barlow outside the pie breastworks, Proprietor Houser thought he had “Brother-in-Law” Barlow’s nomina- tion cinched, but Proprietor Kohlisaat came on and told McKinley how he had put the gold plank in the 8t. Lou's platform and that An return he wanted his editor named for the place at the City of Mexico. The fight between thé.two- papers is now red-hot. Kohlgaat. points with pride to the gold plank and Insists that he must be re- warded. Houser insists that he has been for McKinley ever since hé was nominated and has predicted the return of prosper.ty so often that he is without honor as a rophet in the entire meneleeter: Valley. Nothing can appease wounded pride so well as the nomination of “Brother-!n-Law’’ Barlow. The President is in sore straits. He smiles on both, but is not happy. The Chicago editor seeme to have the advant- age at this time. NOMINATIONS: Ellis H. Roberts Named as Treasurer of the United States.

Following is the list: Harry Bell of Urbana; shot through the head and killed instantly. A young man named Higins was through the body and killed. Dénnis Graney of Urbana was shot in the right foot. Dr. Chas. Thompson of North Lewisberg received a slight wound in the forehead. Wesley Bowen of Cable rhot in hip; wounded seriously. ; Ray Dickinson, living near the city, was shot in the shoulder. Ray McClure of Urbana was shot through the muscle of the right arm. Gus Weiser, who was standing on the street, received a slight wound in the face. John Bank was shot in the foot. Ralph McComb of Urbana, shot in the arm. George Ellicott, manager of the electric light company, received a face wound. When the shooting occurred an attempt wae being made to enter the jai] from the rear. The militia were in the hall on the second floor and standing at the window. Higins, of West Liberty, and another man had sledge hammers in their hands and had broken the glass in the door leading to the hall, where the jail is entered. Sudden- ly the militia opened fire, and Higins fell back with the exclamation; ‘My God, I am shot.” ; The ball entered to the right of the right nipple, passing through his body and com- Ing out at. the left shoulder blade. The firing was continued until about twenty volleys wete fired. Higins was. carried to the undertaking establishment of Geo. H. Humphreys. The shot that killed Harry Bell of Ur- bana struck him in the head and tore the top of his head off. Bell at the time of the shooting was standing in the street, and was not connected with the attempt to en- ter the jail after Mitchell. He was taken to Humphrey's undertaking establishment, where his body was dressed. THE SHERIFF DENOUNCED. shot People Incensed at His Allowing the Militia to Shoot, URBANA, Ohio, June 4.—Such a night of horrors and such a morning tragedy never before shocked the people of this intelligent and order-loving city. Ever since the ar- rest of Charles Mitchell, and the sensational scene when his victim swooned in her bed as she identified him ag the ‘black brute’ who had assaulted her a week ago, and left her in a pitiably critical condition, the feel- ing against the prisoner kept growing more and more intense. The local militia, fifty- five men, were ordered to the jail to pro- tect the prisoner. Then came the hurried efforts of the officers of the law to get Mitchell safely into the penitentiary. All the while the excitement among the people grew more and more intense. The Sheriff was foiled in his plan to get Mitchell out of the jail to the Cojumbus train. Night inflamed excitement among the citizens. The streets were thronged all night. Yells were heard all around the jail. the jail, when the militia fired on the at- tacking party and as is usual in such cases struck more innocent spectators than ac- tive law-breakers. But such a sudden ca- tastrophe well-nigh produced an explosion of wrath. The Sheriff instantly wired the Governor for more troops, sending the mes- sage to him at Wooster, Ohio, and as quick- ly an order was sent to the Springfield Guard to report at once to Sheriff McClain. It i@ to the credit of the National Guard that the order was obeyed so promptly that at 7:10 the Springfield company was in Ur- bana. ‘ A desperate condition was encountered. The revulsion of feeling against the troops was so great that on all sides the new ad- dition to the force was greeted with .jeers and hootings and the soldiers soon began to be pelted with mud. began to show signs of resistance, to the in- sulting mob, Mayor Ganson ordered the troops to return to the depot. Then it was that the mob made the as- sault on the jail. tense against the Sheriff for allowing the National Guard to fire on the people and there is a very general approval of the work of the mob. ee — MITCHELL’S CRIME. Committed a Rape on Mrs, Gaumer and Was Sentenced to Twenty Years. URBANA,-O., June 4—Recently Mrs. Eliza Gaumer, the widow of the late publisher of the Urbana Democrat, was criminally assaulted “by Charles Mitchell, alias Click Mitchell, a notorious negro; who was arraigned last Wednesday, but his vic- tim was too ill to appear in court. The man was taken to her home for identification. As he entered the door, she raised herself on default of $1,000 bail Mitchell was locked up in the city prison, but On, account of the feeling, was removed to the County Jail the same ‘hight for safe keeping. That night the jail was surrounded by a threatening mob, that was held back by the Sheriff's posse and the local company of the Ohio National Guard, Last night. the situation was more threat- called on for assistance, but he refused to order the militia from any other place here. This city Ig only forty miles from Columbus, from which place troops could soon have been transported, but it was thought that Mitchal' could be taken to the Penitentiary quietly. The Grand-jury was impaneled yesterday and Mitchell was indicted for criminal as- sault. Then the crowd was thrown off the trail by bringing Mitchell into court Im a soldier’s uniform, Mitchell was scared into pleading guilty and was sentenced to the limit of twenty years. The trial lasted only | a few moments and Mitchell wanted to get to the penitentiary, at Columbus, quick, but when the carriage drove up to the jail the crowd rushed in to get Mitchell and lynch him. Another crowd surrounded the depot. The Sheriff remained for the night in the jail, while the militia patrolled the ground. The crowd would not disperse. At 2 o'clock they were about to enter the jail, when the sol- diets fired. Hon. Daniel Gaumer, publisher of the Zanesville Signal, and Hon. Charies M.

BEFORE THE COMMISSIONER. Langhorne Asked the Inspector Not to Tel] About Finding the Con- ‘cealed Belt. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, June 4.—Richard M. Scruggs did not look like a smuggler when arraigned before Commissioner Shields yesterday, but he bore evidence of preferring his old deak in St. Lou's. He was dressed in a close-fitting black Prince Albert and his gray hairs and refined features made him a figure far out of place in the room where counterfeiters, mail-box thieves and other accused men were awalting trial. Equally unusual was the scene in the room when Mr. Scruggs and his ffiends en- tered. There was Mr. Vandervoort and Mr. Kip of Scruggs, Vandervoort & Barney, both trim and neat as if just from a Wall street bank. Gen. Ketcham, who repre- gents Mr. Scruggs, soon followed. Other friends came later and before the hearing began a dozen friends were present. Mr. Scruggs was very nervous; he shifted about uncomfortably while other cases were being heard, but when his case was called he was ready for the ordeal. The Government's case was strong. It supported the charges about as told in the Post-Dispatch. Defendants are showing that there was no criminal intent to de- fraud the Government. They will prove their character if permitted, but this point is not clear, as Commissioner Shields de- cided on both sides of the question, first not letting Langhorne tell of his employ- ment and then letting James B. McCreery testify as to Mr. Scruggs’ standing. In doing this Mr. McCreery created a hearty laugh by winking at the Commissioner and declaring “‘that these fat bulging smug- glers would have made a live picture for Mark Twain.” There was no delay and the Government’s witnesses were called. John Monroe, Inspector of Customs, told of seeing Mr. Langhorne on the ship and identified him in the court-room. He told ad ag a him about what dutiable goods he had to bring in and in answer he said $26.50 worth of presents. He made out the usual list and swore to it. Monroe did not see Mr. Scruggs, but said Langhorne spoke for himself and Scruggs. e said it was the regular cus- tom where friends were traveling together to let one man swear to the list for the party when familiar with their possessions. here was considerable squabbling over the regularity of such a proceeding, but the witness stuck to it as being the custom. On cross-examination: the witness could not remember to have asked Langhorne if Mr. Scruggs had any dutiable goods. There were exquisite gloves from Lang- horne’s pectete. and rings and jewelry from the leather belt he had worn in Europe. These articles were seized by Monroe, and then taken before his superior. On cross-examination the witness retold his story about as given on direct examina- tlon. He said he was always looking for suspects, and seeing Langhorne’s overcoat an hip pocket bulging out, he suspected him. “‘And 1 was rig t,”” he added. He esked Langhorne if he had any jewels, Watches or presents concealed and at the Same moment pushed his hands into the overcoat pocket. There he found thirteen pairs of kid gloves loose. In other pockets were three jewelry cases, “Did you get anything else?” asked Gen. cham, 2 FP 8 e802 ¥ ' “Yes, three rings, after we reached the istrict Attorney’s office in the Post Office {idin one 1orne, said the witness, told him that among the presents were some gloves.

Grant, in his communi- ation to the Journal with refepence to the public ownership of railroads and gas works, left a link missing from his logical chain. “I do not think it would be conducive to the interest of the public,” he safd, “to have the municipal government itself owning franchises of either raijroads or gas works. Under. private ownership they can be con- ducted much more economically, and they are able to gtve better service at less price,” It is not certain that all enterprises can be conducted more economically under pri- vate than under public ownership but if it were, the question would still remain whether the benefit of these economies went to the people or somebody else. Possi- bly corporations may be “able to give better service at less price’ than public agencies, but do they do it? How does the New York- er, for instance, who buys his gas from a private compang at $1.25 per 1,000 feet, com- pare with the résident of Glasgow, who buys his from a municipal plant, at 56 cents? The government of New York under Tammany was not considered ideal, but the public water works of this city under that regime supplied consumers at about half the price charged by a corporation in San Francisca, The National Post-office is accused of ex- travagance, and it is said that private enterprise could reduce its expenses by one- half, but the Post-office will perform serv- ices for a cent which no express company would perform for less than 15. There is considerable difference between being able to do a thing and doing it. The Standard Oil Trust is able to reduce the price of oil, but it prefers to ftmerease the fund available for Mr. Rockefeller’s phi- lanthropies. The Sultan of Turkey is able to stop the Armenian massacres,.but it suits him to have them goon. When Mr. Grant discusses the question of public versus pri- vate agencies again he should not be gatis- fied with convincing himself that -corpora- tions can do work more economically to themselves than municipalities can; he should find out whether their services ate more economical] to their customers. Called Down. - From the Farmington (Mo.) Times. The Globe-Democrat has a short memory. It started in to criticise Mr. Wanamaker for saying that the Republicans had not kept their promises to usher in better times, by declaring that no Republicans of any prom- inence had ever said that prosperity would immediately follow the election of McKin- ley and the defeat of the silver cause. It was called down by the Post-Digpatch with such copious extracts from its own edito- rial columns saying the very things on the eve of the election which it declared had never been said by the Republicans, that it changed its tune and declared that the promised prospeNMty had arrived; and then the Post-Dispatch caught it on the hip again, by showing that only a couple of weeks ago it admitted that “Business | is still stagnant,”’ and with other discourag- ing statements from its columns about the condition of trade. The “Christian science” doctrine of willing that a thing is so and it will be so, doesn’t work In business af- fairs. If it did we might all be happy, prosperous and rich; but the faith of the people in a condition that they keenly fee] and painfully realize does not exist ig not equal to the task. NO RULE BROKEN, ——- 2 Farmer: Hi, can’t yer read that ’ere sign—‘‘No swimmin’ allowed?” The Boys: Dat’s all right—dere aint one of us knows how ter swim a stroke! Weak-Kneed Reform. From the New York Journal. Report has it that at the recent con- ference of “Cleveland Democrats” the ef- fort to formulate a new platform for the chosen remnant was rendered abortive by the impossibility of agreeing on a deliver- ance in regard to the irust question. It is rather creditable to the iemnant that there should have been found among them individual convictions robust enough to re- sist the forces which combine tv reduce gll Clevelandism to pulpy commonplace. But it was also a strong intimation of the po- tency of trust interests in the ranks of the faithful that the silence of the Indian- apolis platform on the issue of monopoly should, on the morrow of the Reform Club dinner, have been allowed to remain un- broken. There is no saying what would become of the remnant if they were com- pelled to define combinations in restraint of trade. Some of those who are counted the most effulgent lights in the sparsely starred galaxy of the faithful wouid be compelled to turn their backs on a reform which meant the wresting from the trua.s of the power to tax the American people, Herein they do perceive a divided duty, and for the reformer of this stamp the side on which his bread is buttered has always the major claim to his attenti‘-n, Still Greater Odds.

Ask Mr. Coste to explain. TAXPAYER, St. Louis, June 2. No Compromise With Traitors, To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Under the above caption the Republic in its leading editorial of May 2 seeks, in au occult and mysterious manner, to point out to the gold and silver Democrats the absolute necessity of fusion. Gold Demo- crats are not mentioned at all, but the ac- tion of the silver Republicans and the Pop- ulists on the present tariff issue is made the text of this homily. As one of the rank and file of the Democ- racy, I object to any further surrender of Democratic principles for the purpose of gaining votes or political power. Demo- cratic principles are clearly delineated in the State and Federal constitutions, they present a system of equal rights and equal privileges, under the law, through the representative principle; a system which {netead of subjecting the proceeds of some to taxation with the object of enriching others, secures to all the proceeds of their labor and exempts all from taxa- tion, except for the support of the protect- ing power of government. Let us etand by our constitutional rights, privileges and duties. The constitution to- day denies to any State the right to make aught elee but gold and silver legal tender, and yet, by the action of the general gov- ernment, which itself has no rights save these delegated by the States, this pro- vieo is made a dead lettem If the American ople want the constl- tution changed in this or any other respect, let it be done; but until then true Democ- racy will and must stand by this bulwark of liberty. With all due respect to the Republic, to Cleveland, Carlisle, Francis and the so- called gold-bug faction, the nae pre- valls with the rank and file of the Democ- racy that an o enemy is far better than a treacherous friend, and that the fight for Democratic principles must be made in the future without their ald or assistance, For myself, I prefer to say: “Get thee behind me, Satan; or, with the Pealmist, “Purge me with hyssop and I shall be clean; wash me and I shall be whiter than snow.” St. Louis, May 31.

As foreshadowed in the Post-Dispatch Thursday, there is to be a change of man- agement and material improvements made atthe St. Nicholas Hotel. William C, Cun- ningham, late assistant manager of the Planters’, will assume the management of the St. Nicholas Monday morning. This comes as the result of negotiations that have been pending for several weeks. he Ames brothers, principal stock- holders in the hotel company, contemplate the erection of a large annex to the St. Nicholas building. It is expected that about $150,000 will be expended in increasing the dimensions of the house and in otherwise improving the property. These improve- ments, however, will not be undertaken just at present. ‘‘The first thing I expect to do,” said Manager Cunningham to a Post-Dispatch reporter Friday, ‘‘is to enlarge the accom- modations for comenercial travelers. A force of men is now at work on the sixth floor converting some of the sleeping apart- ments into large sample rooms. Sample room space of the right kind is one of the chief requisites to commercial patronage and we expect to pay special attention to that class of trade.”’ When asked when the annex would be built, Mr. Cunningham said he could not tell at this time just when the work would comenence, but probably not for several weeks. ; Manager Cunningham is popular with hotel patrons. He has had long experience in the hotel business and is regarded as one of the best men in his line anywhere be- tween New York and San Francisco. For several years he was connected with the Palmer House at Chicago. He went there as key clerk and was promoted from time to time until he finally reached the posi- tion of manager. He was in charge of that famous hotel during the World’s§ Fair, when hundreds of thousands of people were guests within a short space of time. Heretofore the St. Nicholas has been managed by Richard Everett, a stock- holder in the company. Mr. Everett re- tires with the advent of Mr. Cunningham. It is announced that no changes will be made in the office force. Montreal in one night via Big Four fa- mous Knickerbocker special. SHE SMOOTHED HIM DOWN.

The Great Horsewoman Discourses on the Peculiarities of the Animals She Handles So Well. “The successful trainer handles his horse exactly as a sensible man manages his wife.’’ “Or a sensible woman manages her hus- band?’ “Yes, that’s better,” and Mme. Maran- telle laughed as though pleasant memories were awakened. “T control horses by proper amount of firmness. If they are good they get sugar, and if they are naughty they get the whip—but very little of the last. Horses are very like men, Sometimes they must be humored and made to think they are having their own way, when in reality they are doing what you will they shall do. For instance, if I am handling a horse of high courage who is not thoroughly broken and he insists on going one way and I want him to go an- other, I turn him around several times and distract his attention and the chances are that he will go as I wish without a controversy. If he persists I compromise by starting him his way and gradually turning him mine. “T got my first valuable lesson in breaking fractious horses some time after [I became a profesional horsewoman. My sister was handling a vicious, strong-willed horse and used her whip vigorously. I suggested that she fought him too much and she said I would fight him too if I had to handle him. I tried him and we had trouble at once. I gave him several sharp cuts, but it did no good, then I lost my temper and whipped him severely. In a few minutes I realized that I had acted foolishly. The horse was so excited he was crazy. He didn’t know why I whipped him and he was so wrought up he had no control over himself. I took him to the stable and let him cool off, then I cultivated his acquaintance. He soon ound out that I would not hurt him and e put confidence in me. In a few weeks I had him under absolute control.” Mme. Marantelle is a siender, grayhaired woman wits the ciear gray eyes and finely chiseled features pecullar to the women of the Northwest descended from Puritan an; eestors. She was born in Michigan and is proud that she is an American. She is one of the most popular attractions of the Barnum & Bailey show, and 4s she talked horse to a Post-Dispatch reporter she sat on a trunk in the horse tent with her French poodle on her lap. One of Mme. Marantelle’s feats in the circus is to drive the beautiful dapple gray, Evergreen, on the hippodrome track, put- ting him through every pace known to the equine kind. He has twelve saddle gaits and can trot more different ways than a be- lated married man can make excuses to his wife. The horse was trained by the mad- ame, and was sold by her to Mr. Bailey several months ago, along with Jupiter, the jumping pony, and several other horses. The Madame rides Senator, the Chestnut jumper, and lifts him over a five-foot gate with admirable grac?. “The best horse I ever rode,”’ said she “wagsold Filemaker.

I ieee A that and I always let him do his work after his own fashion. ‘There is a great difference in jumpers. Some are good for high jumps and some for broad. Senator, the horse I ride now would make a better broad jumper than a high. He rises some distance back and has a tremendous forward movement. Old File. maker rose close to the barrier with his hind feet well up under him and went nearly straight up. Oxford, the gray jumper, has the same movement, but he hasn't got File- er’s courage. He won't take a jump at he can’t see over. No horse can a great jumper unless be has high temper, kindness and the , horses every mile, should be at least Palf thoroughbred.

She made the record for driving two running horses a mile to a wagon, doing it in 1:40. She also holds the ten-mile record, changing She is as fond of dogs ~ she is of horses and has equal power over them. “You have to be somewhat firmer with a dog than with a horse,”’ said she, ‘“‘for a dog is quicker to take advantage of any laxity on his trainer’s part. The reason is that he is admitted to greater familiarity and the trainer is apt to joke with him. Of course it depends on the temper of the dog, but most of them need the whip oc- casionally.

BIG Commercial Interests Are Back of the Fight for the Code This Time. _ Saturday night's meeting of the St. Lou's Medical Society will be one of the liveliest in that organization’s tumultuous career. Another row is on over the code of eth- ics. Some doctors—young fellows at that— have been getting their names in the pa- pers and the old chaps are badly cut up. Feeling has been aroused to such a pitch that action will be taken in the case of six physicians. Unprofessional conduct will be the allega- tion for which the enterprising medicos will be hauled over the coals. Despite the humor of the situation, there is a strain of seriousness in the efforts of the older physicians to play up the dignified reserve inculcated by the code. Once upon a time these spasmodic ructions against the doctors who got into the newspapers were the outgrowth of an offended sense of professional ethics, aided, no doubt, by a little jealousy. Saturday night's fight will be waged from less lofty motives, The commercial and not the professional spirit is at the bottom of the crusade, , The marvelous spread of the hospital sys- tem has put a big crimp in the income of the general practitioners. Those who are too dig- nified and ethical to attach themselves to such institutions read with feelings which can be imagined the almost daily accounts of interesting operations and cures per- formed by members of the hospital staff. The hospitals are not bothered by the code. They are in the business of curing eens, and when they do a particularly ne job they don’t object to the public hear- ing of it. It helps their business. The apostles of the code say that most of the information given out to the papers, such as the making of new noses, fixing broken boyes and exposing the action of the heart, is as old as the science of surgery. “What the newspapers should do,” said a West End physician, who is a member of the committee who will report on the ad- vertisers, Saturday night, “is to expose the efforts of these men to attain ee: “This practice has grown alarmingly in St. Louis during the last decade, and it Is the duty of the society to take some steps to protect its reputable members.

ON MAJOR WARNER’S TRAIL. Warming Up of the Contest Between Missouri Republican Factions Over Federal Patronage. Col. Richard CC. Kerens, who recently re- turned to St. Louis from an extended stay at the National Capital, is not to be found at his office on the eighth floor of the Se- curity Building, Col. Kerens has returned to Washington. It is a matter of current gossip emong politicians that his sudden departure for the East was due to the fact that Maj. Wm. Warner of Kansas City is camping on the White House steps, seeking recognition from the McKinley Administration. Col. Kerens and Maj. Warner have opposite in- terests and are not pulling together. Col. Kerens heard of Maj. Warner's St. Louls visit a few days ago and when he learned that the Major left the city bound Wash.- ingtonwards he made ready to follow. The question is, who shall distribute Federal pie for Missouri? Almost every day the rotunda of the La- clede Hotel is the scene of interesting po- litical discussions. Democrats rather out- number the Republicans in the crowd that congregates at the Laclede? yet either side is usually sufficiently represented to lend a dash of spice to the discussion. Thursday afternoon the Kerens-Filley war was talked about in all its phases. When Maj. Warner visited St. Louis a few days ago he set politicians to gossiping as to the meaning of his appearance here. The Major adroitly explained to all ques- tioners that he was simply laying over in St. Louis between trains. Cincinnati was his objective point, he gaid, and he was hastening there to make a Decoration Day speech. Col. Jim Moore of. Laclede County and other prominent Filleyites were here to meet Maj. Warner. and as told in the Post-Dispatch at the time, there is every reason to believe that a move- ment is on foot to add strength to the Filley forces in the hope that prestige may be wrested from the Kerens faction. As is generally understood throughout the State, Col. Kerens has the call with the McKinley administration. Up to the pres- ent time the Filley faction has had nothin to do with the distribution of Federa patronage. Following close upon the all-day and al)- night conference between Maj. Warner and the Filleyites in this city on the occasion of the Major's recent visit here, comes the an- nouncement that after unloading a pent-up Decoration Day speech at Cincinnati, the It isn’t fair the way the work of the human race is roportioned out and distributed. ook at the house-drudgery of women, ( Compare it in its hardness and wearing ness with the occupations of most men !

He is still there, and it is announced from an authentic source that he is making overtures to the Administration. Col. Kerens was at his home in St. Louis when Maj. Warner came here last week.

[llustrates His Methods by Teaching the Nervous Cappy How to Break at the Start. It is hard to doubt the claims of the hyp- Otists and mesmerists afier watching er Joe Howell of Texas with @ crazy, nervous thoroughbred on his hands. Just where his power lies is more than he or any one else can tell, but that it is there is evident. He cannot explain what it is and modest- ly says it is nothing at all but just under- Standing horse nature. Others who think they understand horse Mature try to do the same things and make utter failures. All Howell does is to make wild horses tame and nervous horses quiet. He takes the most unruly racers at the Fair Grounds track and in a few lessons has them so that they will walk up to the starting machine without a tremor and dash away like a flash as soon as the bar- rier is out of the way. To watch him work is interesting. At first glance it is evident he knows what he is about. His confidence among horses is ony equalled by his diffidence among men. e is a tall, slim man, tanned and burned <4 the Texas suns, with a clear, steady blue eye and a sonorous. voice, His “whoa” has a ring to it that seems to in- @tantly reach the heart of a horse and while it is not loud nor harsh, it can often be heard clear across the big race track. If he were put in the crowd in the quarter atretch on a bright afternoon he would at- tract no attention. He would pass for a - gl or. horse owner of modest preten- 8. He was observed one day last week teach- i (Cappy, a very pretty little filly, how to ave herself at the post. The beautiful ittle animal was ridden into the chute at the second furlong pole where the gate is rmanently erected for training purposes. © ho sooner saw it than she was all ex- citement and nervousness. Her flanks quiv- ered and her eyes took on that frightened look peculiarly characteristic of a horse. Howell was lounging —- the fence with his long whip coiled up in his hand. When he saw the = he stepped out to the mid- die of the track directly in front of her. He made no effort to hide the whip, but let it naturally by his side. 6 spoke to the little mare, but at first she did not notice him, being too busy look- ng about. In a moment, however, he had ef attention fixed upon him, and then he wal up and took her by the bridle, talk- ing quietly all the while. He patted her on he neck once or twice, and then turning P peek to her started to walk down the “Come on, l, come on,”’ ald not Bens . he said, but she th a back-handed sweep of the whip he ve her the lightest kind of a tip with the sh from behind, and again said easily: Come on, gal, come on!"’ The dainty lit- tle animal tossed up her head and marched roudly after him, with her nose almost on is shoulder.

He was a youngster from the coun- try, who had the life scared out of him the first time he got on the track, and he never got over it. he crowd, the music and all the doings were too much for him, and he would just go crazy as soon a@ he got out.” Joe Howell’s experience has not been lim- ited to race horses. Until the business got so bad there was no money in it, he handled Texas and Mexican horses whose obstinacy is proverbial. He smiles when he thinks of some of his arguments with the untamed Texas ponies. His reputation as a horse-breaker has spread over the country. Many a fat purse has gone into the pockets of horse owners because Joe Howell got the horse so he would start decently. HE PLAYED THE RACES. Misfortune and Drink Drove George Folz to Suicide. George Folz is recovering at the City Hos- pital from an attempt at suicide. He swal- lowed five grains of morphine because he wanted to die. He was received at the hospital at 8 o’clock Thursday night unconscious, but the treatment had the desired effect and Friday morning he was pronounced out of danger. He declared to a reporter that his name was William Green, and that he lived at 4033 Ohio avenue. The city directory contains no such name. From notes found in his pockets his iden- tity was determined. One reads as follows: ear Ma—Forgive me. Forget me. Thanks to all for their kindness. I can’t stand the pressure any longer. Good bye, pa, ma, brothers and sisters. With love. GEORGE. On another sheet of paper was written: “My name—George Folz, 936 Findiay street, Cincinnati.” The letter was addressed to Mrs. David Folz, 936 Findlay street. Folz would not admit his name. He in- sisted that his name was Green and that he had been employed in the street depart- ment. He said he was unfortunate, ‘and wanted to die, He was found unconscious in a room in the Columbus House, 620 North Broadway at 5 o’clock Thursday evening. He had register- ed there the a 4 before. He had no bag- gage, and said he had lost nearly all his money playing the races. Folz father, David Folz, is a prominent liquor dealer in Cincinnati: He was em- ployed by his father until the liquor habit 80 overcame him that he became incompe- tent. Then he was given a subordinate po- sition in a hospital and was treated for the liquor habit. It was not successful and he attempted suicide by poison.

ENTRIES FOR THE -GBNTLEMEN’S RACE CARD FILLED FOR WEDNESDAY’s ) FAIR GROUNDS EVENT. CLUB MEMBERS’ HANDICAP. Typhoon II. Is Conceded a Walkover in Saturday’s Big Five Thou- sand Dollar Stake. | The horses have all been assigned for the gentlemen’s race, which is to be run next Wedngsdey afternoon at the Fair Grounds track. Ferris Hartman had been put on the list of horses, but by mutual agreement he was not drawn for on the ground that he out- classed the rest of the field, and that the ‘rider getting him would have an advantage over the rest. The card as it now stands, and as it will be run on the day of the race, is as fol- lows: San Blas, Larissy & Barry, owners; Graham Wickham, jockey. Colors, green, red sash, black cap. King Elm, A. Hedden, owner; Lee Wick- ham, jockey. Colors, old gold, red cap. Tom Elmore, D. A. Honig, owner; E. J. Woolsey, jockey. Colors, red, yellow cap. Denver, Benson, Arthur & Co., owners; Henry Turner, jockey. Colors, green, red cap. Zeph rus, B. Schrieber, owner; Bob New- man, jockey; colors, purple, orange sleeves, red can . Courtesy, Frank Arthur, owner; Gervais Robinson, jockey; colors, canary, blue sash, canary and purple cap. The weights will be catch weights with a minimum of 160 pounds. The amount is fixed at that figure to save the horses from being penalized in any future races that may be run. The purse will go to the owner of the horse and the trophy, yet to be selected, to the rider. Col, Bob Aull will be the starter. Col. Benson of Benson & Arthur had en- tered David on the condition that Frank James be given the mount, but as Mr. James refused to ride the horse was withdrawn. af he started it would have been al to 10 sho met pee II. will run the Club Members’ Hlandivap Saturday afternoon at the Fair Grounds tace track. At least that is the way che horsemen out there figure it out, but being horsemen they always allow for happenings, so four other horses will run along with the fast one. The entries will tin all probability be Ty- hoon II., Macy, Dare II., Nimrod and lysses. Jira Murphy says that Buck Mas- Sie is too heavily weighted to have a show, 6) that the chances are that he will not be in the running. Aquinas, Barney Schreiber’s fast one, is not up to a race yet as his preparation has been rather slow and he can hardly be con- sidered on edge. Mr. Schorr will be here in person and will try to have Burns here to ride nis entry acy. Nimrod {gs showing excellent form since his winning two days ago and Ulysses was never in better condition than he is now. Clem Creveling wears a broad smile when he talks of Ulysses, and when asked who will win the Club MemMers’, says Typhoon, and can’t help smiling in a wise and know- ing poy are II, is stepping about as if on springs, and will do some fast going from the time the gate files up. The present indications all point toward the best race of the season. The track will be carefully worked over to-night and again to-morrow, after exer- cise hours. It is decidedly lumpy now, but if the sun continues to shine will be al- most perfect by Saturday afternoon. “We are developing some very good 2- year-olds here,” said Judge Joe Murphy, talking about the horses. “George Grass- muck has a good one in Judge Murphy and that colt of Maffitt’s, Sir Wayman, is all right. There are\beside a lot of them who will begin to show up as soon ase the weath- er gets hot. Most of them have been coughing a little bit of late and only need some of the scorching weather to put them in form. The weather has not en the best for youngsters, It has been a little too damp.”’ ' There has been a good deal of criticism over the Sea Robber start in the first race Thursday. From the grand stand and the judges stand it looked as if Sea Robber had the best of it by about sm lengths... The advantage was not however that much be- cause of the peculiar lay of the track and gate at the six furlong start. The horse on the outside rail, «ven when they all start nr _ seems to have a full length the best 0 , Since the adoption of the starting gate some peculiar features have developed on the track. Take for example the start at seven and a half furlongs. This start is made around the turn just In front of the Club House. With the gate directly across the track the horse on the outside would never have a show. The outside end of the gate has therefore been swung forward seventeen and a half feet so as to make it as near as possible an even break. These difficulties havie all to be considered in starting and it Is not always possible to judge solely by appearances. In the Sea Robber race, despite the appar- ent advantage of the start the fleld had caught up with him within an eighth of a mile, MEXICAN PLAYERS COMING. The Aztecs Engaged for a Series at South Side. A series of games between the Topo Chicos, the Mexican ball players, now tour- ing the United States under the manage- ment of Ford Dix, and the Sporting News team will be played at South Side Park Saturday and Sunday, and Manager Bene says that negotiations are pending for a deciding game on Monday. he Mexicans have demonstrated by their fine record against the strong clubs they have met while touring the Southwest that they are experts at base ball. Gus Land, the ex- umpire of the Texas League, who is now in this city, says that the Topo Chicos have all the points of the game down fine and that Manager Dix, who coached them, de- serves great credit for his enterpirse. The Mexicans have won 30 out of the 47 gree they have played.

THEN THE EX-STATESMAN DID AS HE WAS TOLD. GOT OFF WITH A BLACK EYE. Mike Howard Prevails in an Argument With the Burly First Ward Saloonkeeper. Jim Cronin, the First Ward ex-statesman looked into the barrel of a large revolver for half a minute Friday fornoon. An angry and determined man was behind the gun. He told Cronin what to do. The alternative was sudden death. Cronin did it and lived to tell a story which he thought was misleading. Cronin’s brother Bob and Mike Howard were formerly partners In the blacks1iith business on Eleventh street, between Clark avenue and Walnut street. A week ago they disagreed and Bob Cronin stayed away from the shop, but the partnership was not formerly dissolved. Friday word was brought to Jim that Howard had effaced the Cronin name from the sign. He was indgnant. He left his Twelfth street saloon with blood in his eye and went around to the blacksmith shop. He demanded the firm's books from How- ard. Howard told him he couldn’t have them. Jim picked them up and started to leave the shop. Howard barred the way and or- dered him to put down the books. Cronin tried to brush past him. Howard smashed him in the right eye. Cronin hit back, landing on Howard's cheek bone. His eaucktie was skinned. Howard drew a revolver and pointed it at Mr. Cronin’s face. “You lay down them books,” said How- ard, “or I'll shoot a hole through your map.’’ Cronin looked into the gun and into ee face. Both had a business-like ook. He laid down the books and walked out of the shop. His eye began to swell and he went to the City Dispensary. There he told an iIngen’ous story about falling out of a buggy. Dr. Kearney bandaged his eye and he went away. A moment later a man came in from Howard's shop to get a bale of court plaster.

The have been coming to the office of the Health Commissioner every day anxiously inquiring when the an- nouncement would be made. They never got any information, and are still waiting. The papers had to be gone over by Clerk Bruere of the Board. That is why the result has not been announced yet. Mr. Bruere was asked Friday how many more months it would be before the young doctors would know their fate. ‘The work of going over the papers was competed yesterday.’ he said, ‘Dr. Stark- loff has the names.”’ “When will he give out the successful contestants?” “When he gets good and ready, I guess,” @eaid Mr. Bruere, with an air that was in- tended to be crushing.

LOUISVILLE, Ky., June 4.—A big com- bine has been formed to cortrol the Bourbcn whisky trade. The men engaged are con- templating the formation of a pool of $50,- 000,000 to buy up 80,000,000 gallons of whisky now in bond in the State of Kentucky. The project of the men interested in this gigantic corner is to corral all the Bourbon or Kentucky whisky now held in bonded warehouses in this State. This amounts in round figures to 80,000,000 gallons. Outside of this, the only available supply consists of 50,000,000 gallons of rye whisky, which is dis- tilled in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Ohio, Wis- consin and in smaller quanities in other por- tions of the country. The combine will there- fore have in its control two-thirds of the en- tire supply of whisky in the United States and have absolute control of the bourbon whisky. The plan includes an advance in the price of whisky. The plan is said to have orig- inated with Samuel M. Rice, President_of the American Spirits Manufacturing Co., which succeeded the old Whisky Trust; Jules S. Bache of the banking-house of J. 8. Bache & Co. of No. ® Broad street, New York, Vice-President of the American Spirits Marfufacturing Co., also is inter- ested. August Belmont is said to be at the head of the pool. Overtures have been made to banking in- terests at New York to provide the money.

Turkey and Greece Still Trying to Come to Terms. ATHENS, June 4.—Although the armistice has been signed in Epirus and Thessaly, a Special clause stipulates that a meeting of the Greek and Turkish delegates shall be held to-day to settle the details of the arm- istice on the sea. If there should be a failure to agree in the matter the whole convention will be void. The Turkish delegates demand that all vessels under the Turkish or any neutral flag shall be freely admitted to Greek ports thus practically raising the blockade, and that on the coast of Macedonia and Epirus the Greek fleet shall be withdrawn beyond the range of the guns of Turkey, under- taking that neither troops nor contraband of war will be landed. The Greek Government objects to being deprived of the right of search. In defer- ence to the advice of the Powers, however, the Cabinet probably will yield. The armistice is to continue until the con- clusion of peace negotiations. In the event that these should prove abortive, either | Party must give twenty-four hours’ notice. There is a rumor that the Government is | inclined to offer the fleet instead of an in- — on the ground that it would be impossible for Greece to wage another war for at least ten years, and that then the vessels would be obsolete.

+ | NOT AFRAID 10 TRY IT AGAIN. AGED HENRY SCHULTZ WILL MARRY HIS THIRD WIFE. ONE DEAD, OTHER DIVORCED. He Is 70 Years Old and Is Anxious to Wed the Co-Re- spondent. Henry Schultz of 1300 Emmett street evi- dently believes the third time will prove the charm. He buried one wife. was divorced from the gecond not two months ago, and is about to to take a third in the person of Mrs. Wil- helmina Bosse, who was named as co-re- spondent in the divorce proceedings. Seventy years have whitened Mr. Schultz’ hairs. They have also bent his frame, and marital infelicities have not tended to preserve his: health. It is but fair to him and his prospective bride to atate also that the statutory ground for a divorce alleged against them by Mrs. Schultz No. 2 was held to be ridiculous: by Circult Judge Klein when he granted Mrs. BehultZ a divorce April 12. Mr. Schultz is a poultry dealer, When his first wife died he hastened to seek an- other because he was lonely and thought a helpmeet would be of benefit to him in his business. In his cross bill against Mrs. Schultz he stated that he was disappointed after the marriage to find that his wife was fatally prejudiced against picking chickens or attending to any household duties. She also insisted that he abandon his occupation and abused him because he wouldn't. As a result he employed Wilhelmina Bosse as an assistant and it wasn’t long before domestic differences grew into fam- ily riots on account of the presence of Wil- helmina. i The assistant was probably 55 years old, but her lack of youth did not prevent Mrs. Schultz growing violently jealous. The re- sult wae her suit for divorce in which, be- sides accusing her 70-year-old husband with infidelity, she charged that he repeatedly choked her, slapped her, knocked her down, and once or twice threw ‘cold water on her. The evidence at the trial showed also that on one occasion Schultz beat her with a picked chicken. Judge Klein pondered for some time over the evidence in the case and finally gave Mrs. Schultz a divorce with $600 alimony. He said, in his opinion, that the evidence showed neither party to the suit blameless, but that Schultz was the greater offender. He had not only beaten his wife, for whica ihe could not be pueitet but he stood by - and allowed Wilhefmina Bosse to beat her, for which there was still less justification. Mr. Schultz wanted a divorce as badly as did his wife, so that the less of his case was not without its compensation. A reasonable explanation of his desire for a divorce was furnished when he appeared at the marriage license office with Wilhel- mina Bosse Thursday afternoon. Instead of applying for a license forthwith, however, the couple postponed the transaction until Friday, because they thought they could arrange meanwhile to avoid newspaper no- toriety. They reappeared Friday and decid- ed to take out the license without regard to publicity. Both were reticent as to their arrange- ments for the wedd'‘ng, going no further than to state that they would start on a trip Friday night. HIS MEMORY RESTORED. Sudden Recovery of a Student Injured in a Foot Ball Game. Special to the Post-Dispatch. ; BUFFALO, N. Y., June 4.—Conduilt Dib- ble of Perry played half back for Wil- liams College last year. In a game he was kicked on the head. He recovered his physical strength, but his memory was one. He could not remember that he head een a student, neither could he recollect the game in which he wag injured. All of his former friends were forgotten. The ast was a blank to him. He remained in his condition until to-day, when a change as sudden and startling as that -of last fall came upon him. Meeting a former friend, he greeted him warmly. This same man he had met every day for months without the slightest — of recognition, Afterwards he talked of the past clearly and greeted all of his former friends as though he had just returned home.

W. STEBBINS HIS BONDSMAN WISHES TO SUR- RENDER HIM. CHARGED WITH EMBEZZLEMENT Twice Convicted and Sentenced, but New Trials Granted Each Time. Deputy Sheriffs are looking for Lovell W. Stebbins, one time assistant secretary of the Merchants’ Exchange, and now under sen- tence for embezzlement. Stebbins is out on a $1,500 bond pending a new trial. His bondsman, George F. Tow- er, Jr., President of the Goodwin Manufac- turing Company, would like to surrender him on his bond, but he cannot be found. Stebbin’s disappearance apparently dates from last Saturday. On that day he was on the floor of the Merchants’ Exchange and told several persons he would have to! get a new bondsman as Mr. Tower intended to surrender him. Among those whom he asked to sign his bond was Doorkeeper Jimmy Newell. Sat- urday afternoon deputy sheriffs were put on his track, but so far they have failed to locate him. Lovell W. Stebbins was indicted for em- bezzlement in July, 1894. He was,treasurer of the Suburban Realty Co. He was also treasurer of the Stebbins-Thompson Realty Co. There was a note issued by the latter company for $1,525, indorsed by George T. Parker, president of the yomer-gre:, bo and by Stebbins as treasurer. It was alleged that Stebbins discounted the note and diverted the proceeds to his own use. The note was dated April 17, 1893. The case was contin- ued by the court September 26, 1894. Then a change of venue was taken to St. Charles County. That is as far as the record here woes. Stebbins was released on a $3,000 bond that was signed by his father-in-law, J. Kehlor. The case was tried fn St. Charles County and Stebbins was convicted and sentenced to the penitentiary. A new trial was granted, and in July, 18%. he was gsen- tenced to two years by Judge Edmunds. Another new trial was granted, and in March, 1897, he was convicted by a jury in Judge Withrow’s court. A new trial was granted this time because of improper re- marks by Oriick C. Bishop, special counsel for the State. Chief Deputy Sheriff Huebler sald Friday: We have no trace af Stebbins. He has not jumped his bond exactly, but he is hid- ing to keep from being surrendered. Mr. Tower was unable to give us his address. All that seems to be known about him is that he had been in St. Louis since his trial.” Stebbins married a niece of J. B. M. Keh- lor, the millionaire miller. His bondsman, George F. Tower, fg a son-in-law of Mr. Kehlor. GAVE A CHILD BEER. Clarence E. Rockwell’s Reputstion Got Him a Heavy Fine. Clarence E, Rockwell might not have suf- fered so severely for getting little Frank Bine drunk on beer had not Policeman Ragan testified as to Rockwell's reputation. Rockwell is not a bad looking fellow, and his story is that he sent young Bine, who lives at 2020 Wash street, for a bucket of beer Thursday. He gave the boy a arta, and the little fellow was floored by . o . Policeman Ragan said it was a half-dozen buckets of beer that Bine brought Rock- well, and that Rockwell permitted’ the youngster to drink, and urged him to take more. Then Ragan said that Rockwell was not an electrician, as he claimed, but a loafer who lived with a woman in a dis- reputable house on Pine street near Tenth. Rockwell, he said, was supported by the woman. A fine of $100 was Im who was charged wit and disorderly conduct. HE WAS SLOW TO ANGER. At Last Farmer Geiger Grew Jealous and Shot His Wife’s Paramour.

rT WAS ONLY | DEAD TRAMP ST. LOUIS COUNTY OFFICIALS ARE NOT EXCITED, MURDERERS MAY GO FREE. The Authorities Are Actually Sorry One of the Sappington Murderers Gave Himself Up. St. Louis County officials are not making much headway hunting down the tramps, whose beer-canning and quarreling Wednes- day on the Gravois road, near Georgetown, resulted in the death from a stab wound of one of their number. The victim’s identity has not been estab- lished. He was put under the ground Thursday evening without any vigorous ef- fort to find out who he was. Sheriff Kerth, Coroner Rouse and the Prosecuting Attor- ney, all agree on one point—‘‘He Was only a tramp.” That the man was above the average tramp in bearing, attire and general ap- pearance, all admit, but they were all ready to hustle him into the Potters’ Field and get him out of the way. “The county is so overrun with tramps,”’ said Coroner Rouse, “that we feel some- thing must be done to get rid of them.” The Coroner did not seem to think that a tramp under ground was any worse off for being unidentified. Sheriff Kerth was seen Friday morning in Clayton. ‘The Sheriff has one prisoner on hig hands who gave himself up, and it is quite evident that he is hesitating between kicking the prisoner out of jail or kicking himself for letting him in. It is doubtful if the oases ne. Attorney will ask for the indictment of Dick Martin, the Sheriff's se!f-arrested Ig onew gt . said: “I doubt if we could convict him on his own confession. He is a worthless tramp with half a dozen names and it looks to me that he has confessed in order to make sure of six months or more in jail, We have a good ja'l here, and this fellow knows all about it. I take litthe stock in hj story about his own part in the killing. think he was with the gang, all were drunk, and that is all this fellow remembers. Sheriff. Kerth told the reporter Friday morning that he believed the other four ot five ‘men, Supgoned to have been with the vagrant crowd, were out in the neighbor- hood of Valley Park, but he did not seem to bs doing anything to catch them. “tT don’t see,”’ he said, ‘“‘why their arrest is not reported, or we get some word of at least one of them. He was a man with amputated feet, and his appearance ought to lead to his prompt detention.” The Sheriff admitted that he had nobody looking for a man with amputated feet. . The dozen or so of tramps who were ounded up roeneey evening in Webster nae Sheriff Kerth admitted, had noth- ing to do with the Gravois road affair. ‘“‘We simply arrested them to drive them out of the county,” said he. “The understand- ing was that the justice at Webster was to give them their choice this morning of getting out of sight or going to the rock pile. ’e are determined to drive out the trae ps.’’ “Then you don’t expect to do much more in connection with this Gravois road af- fair?’’ “T do not see that there is much more to do unless we can catch the rest of the ang. Orr he Sheriff would not say what further efforts he would put forth. The aversion of Sheriff Kerth to anything like an intelligent effort te catch the mur- derers is illustrated by the difficulty the tramp he has had in breaking into jail. The fellow went to Webster to give himself up. He told a Constable that he had killed a man and wanted to be locked up. The officer laughed at-him and told him he must be crazy. che tramp persisted that he was a red-hanted murderer and the Constable tola him to go to Clayton if he was so stuck on being arrested. “T can’t,”’ said the tramp, “‘I’m flat broke.” "Here's ten cents,” said the astute officer, “vo on and don’t bother me."’ The tramp proceeded straightway to Clay- ton and aroused Sheriff Kerth. It was afier midnight and the Sheriff objected to getting up, but he lét the tramp in because it was less trouble than it would have been to keep him out. Dick Martin, the self-confessed murderer, is perhaps the most complacent man in Clayton. He ig assured, for a few weeks at least, of a comfortable home, plenty to eat and pv porating country air. ° Friday morning Dick was beginning to feel something like himself. His stomach had improved in tone and his mental vigor was strengthened. To a Post-Dis “Lem-me see! ay?” That I'stabbed the man? QO, no, I don’t think I told Sheriff Kerth that. No, no,I didn’t stab him, but I was in the crowd, an’ I know that somebody cut him, but I didn’t, for I had no knife.’’ Dick Martin is a worthless looking speci- men. He has a shifting eye, a hang-dog look, and his clothes are mere tatters. He sticks to his first story that he gave him- self up to Sheriff Kerth to “save trouble.” He was afraid somebody would mob him if he was found on the road, after the cutting pcrape became known. He also insists that he has no idea who the victim of the repesy: was. He says they were all,drunk, and that his recollection of just what took Place is vague. He remembers, however, that the rain of Wednesda atet partially poceres him up, and that then he went and unted up the Sheriff, or his deputy, he doesn’t know which he found first.

Thirty-five lawyers sat inside the rail- ing of the Court of Crimina] Correction Friday. Among them were such distin- gulshed counselors as ex-Judge Harvey, Gov. Johnson, Tom Rowe, Thomas Estep and Bimon Bass. Thursday Attorney William Bush made application for a writ of habeas corpus for Ely Moran, colered, who had been placed in jail on Feb. 20 on a charge of essault with intent to kill, Judge Murph eard the preliminary proceedings cad nd Moran over to the Grand-jury. sine ana teat’ 2, Satied to act on the e r a Ca ; ~~ ome vigy #- ape ve ton was made Cireult Attorney Eggers fi} T prohibition to prevent- Judge as coe releasing the prisoner until the Supreme Court could be appealed to.

The Gillingwaters Are Again in the Divorce Court. The domestic troubles of the Gillingwat- ers were brought to public notice last fall by a @ivorce suit filed by the head of the family. The peace that was patched up and which resulted in the suit being dis- missed, lasted only until last Saturday. Now Mrs. Gillingwaters hag filed suit . for divorce. It was docketed in the Circuit Clerk's office Thursday afternoon, under the style Josephine vs. Clarence C. Gillingwaters. The couple live at 14384 Hill's Terrace. Gillingwaters ts a traveling man. Mrs. Gillingwaters left him last Saturday be- cause, as she alleges, she could stand her husband's treatment no longer. that since their marriage, arch 30, 1890, he has repeatedly called her vile namea, frequently struck her in the face with his fist and told her to get out of the house. She askes custody of the 5-year-oli son, Claude. Gillingwaters’ petition, which he 4dis- missed last February, set out that Mrs. Gillingwaters was of a quarrelsome dispo- sition, swore at him’ on one occasfon in the presence of others and scolded him on the public highway. In addition he alleged that she frequently, during the last three years, threatened to poison him. WORK-HOUSE FURLOUGH. Most of the Prisoners to Be Released Were Sentenced for Idling. Chief Desmond was shown a list of the fifty Work-house prisoners whom Nick Karr proposes to liberate to make room for others, He did not know any of them, never heard of them before. Chief Harrigan never heard of them be- fore. He has not yet received from the Mayor the list, and knows nothin about the case. He says he will look up the court procéedings in each of the fifty cases and make his report, with recom- mendations, to the Mayor then. A Post-Dispatch reporter looked over the files of the First istrict Police Court Thursday, and found that about half of the fifty had been sent to the Work-house from that court. @e seriousness of no case exceeded a disturbance of the peace, and the maximum fine was . Most of the fifty were sent down for idling, and in #1 of the cases the fines had been nearly worked out, BANK CLERKS’ ASSOCIATION. Report of the Reorganization Commit- tee Has Been Adopted. A meeting of the Bank Clerks’ Associa- tion of Missouri was held Thursday at the Clearing-house. Messrs. Eugene Karst, E. O. Austin and Emile A, Meysenburg sub- mitted a report setting forth that, by an oversight, the charter of the association had expired by lapse of time, which ren- dered it necessary to proceed according to the law and apply for a new one. The report of the committee was unani- mously adopted. The agreement was signed by all present and embodied the old con- stitution as it now stands. The election of the Board of Directors for the ensuing year will take place on June 15 at the St. Louis National Bank. All members who were not present at the meeting are requested to sign the agreée- ment ‘referred to. IN A NEW TRIAL. Lawyer O’Connor Will Try to Develop His Charge of Bribery. Lawyer John J. O’Connor, attorney for Edmond Verstraete in the latter’s suit against the Union Depot Railway Co., stated Friday that he would file a motion for a new trial of the case shortly, in which he will set out in full the matter which he tNed to show by witnesses, Adolph and Paul Wagner, relative to an alleged at- tempt-at bribery. He stated further that the motion would set out that eight of the panel of eighteen jurors in the case were friends of the offi- cers of the railroad company, and two of them friends of Lawyer E. 8. Robert, who represented the railroad company. Mrs. Catherine Rogg Missing. Catharine Rogg, 49 years old, is reported missing from her home at 2916 South Thir- teenth street.

W. a ee LOUIS BOHLE ON ‘FUNERAL CARS AN UNDERTAKER WHO THINKS THE HEARSE NECESSARY. IS ELOQUENTLY SARCASTIC. Claims That Funerals on Trolley Cars Would Necessitate the Use of Two Hearsses. Undertakers, liverymen and builders of hearses are not alarmed at the intention of the street car companies to put on cars for the accommodation of funeral parties. They think that, even with the advent of the trolley funerals, there will be plenty of room left for the hearse and the mourn- ers’ carriages. Louis Bohle, a Pine street liveryman and funeral director, waxes both eloquent and sarcastic when asked to talk about the funeral car. ‘<i 2 “It’s a good thing,”’ says Mr. Bohle, ‘‘and I only hope the funeral car will appear as the etreet car companies promise it. It will make a hearse and carriages necessary at both ends of the-line, which will mean, of course, charges for two hearses and two sets of carriages. Oh, yes, I hope the street car lines will adopt the funeral car.” Mr. Bohle qualified this, however, by the statement that if the car companies adopt- ed a portable track and trolley wire, to be laid on demand to the door of any house from which the dead was to be removed, and a similar track and trolley wire to every vault or grave in the cemetery to which the remains were being transported, then the funeral directors and livery men and hearse builders might object. “Imagine,”’ said Mr. Bohle, ‘‘the spectacle of a funeral by trolley car in place of a hearse. The body is prepared and coffined and the house is in mourning. An hour be- fore the funeral, while the minister and choir and the mourners are solemnly gathering, there rushes up a wagon with a portable track, to be connected with the main line. Another wagon brings a lot of wire and an electrician. In a brief while the track is laid (I believe it is to be of rubber or aluminum or something equally light). Then the funeral car backs up. The motor- man clangs his bell and curses the con- ductor and switchman, the car squeaks and groans, the plug splutters and blows out and the repair wagon tears up at a hard gal- lop. By and by the casket is loaded into the foremost compartment, the minister and the funeral directors and the family and friends crowd into the other compartment. The conductor shouts, ‘All aboard!’ and ‘Step lively!’ The bell clangs, the motorman turns his crank, the ‘plug’ blares and bursts, the track men swear and the con- ductor rushes to curse the motorman. “Finally the machine moves and gets on the main track. Then it comes up to a sixty-bushel coal wagon on the track, and the bell clangs and clangs. The nigger on the coal wagon and the funeral motorman have it hot and strong for a few minutes, and finally the coal wagon turns out. A wheel is caught in a slot, off goes the axle and down goes the coal, Then the motorman swears a lot more and the police come up —— _ —_ Cor. Ith and Franklin AV. tle lined, velvet DOUG. WORG!

That is too painful to discuss. “phe dead will continue to need the ser- vices of the funeral director and his hearse —likewise his carriages. Custom has de- creed and time has sanctioned the employ- / properly decorous. hein ment of every device to make funerals The present methods cannot be tmproved upon in any material degree. The funeral trolley car may have its value in some way, but it can never sup- plant the present method of conveying the dead to a resting place.”’ Mr. Bohle does not seem to know that the funeral car has been in use in the City of Mexico for many years, and has given per- fect satisfaction. In many cities of the United States chartered cars are also used to convey mourners to funerals. * SUMMER IS HERE. Unmistakable Evidence of It at the Planters’ Hotel. Manager Weaver of the Planters’ called half a dozen of his laborers around him Thursday. He said something like this: “Come, come, come, the summer now is here.”’ That is about as far as he pro- ceeded with the summer rhyme so familiar to everybody who used McGuffey’s readers when they were in a primary school. It |} was not neeessary to say any more. The men, who would be called canvas men were they employed by a circus, immedi- ately commenced carrying the big leather chairs to storage. Every one was. re- moved. In their place came a wagon load of cane-seated rockers. The new summer chairs are painted red, and have a cool, refreshing appearance. FATALLY STABBED. King Did Not Realize His Wounds Were Serious. William King, colored, 34 years old, of 910 South Third street, called at the City Dis- pensary Friday morning with stab wounds under the shoulder blade in the left side, in the left shoulder and left thigh. He told Dr. Thompson he Was assaulted by several negroes at Second and Spruce streets Friday evening. He had trouble with some other negroes but refused to give their names. After the assault he went home. Friday morning the pain was so severe that he dragged himself to the Dispensary. The stab in the back penetrated the lung The wound was filled with dirt; a fatal culmination is, therefore, probable. He was sent to the City Hospital A Filley Love Feast. Hugh McDonnell, formerly of St. Louis, will gather around the Filley and Ziegen- punch bowls Saturday afternoon at Koerner’s Garden and drink to the confu- sion of one Kernes and his silk stocking followers, The entire administration wil] be there. There will be a banquet and speech making. Beer and claret punsh will be on tap and some of the secrets of <P gue in charge at the City Hall may be aired. Wm. A STINCING REBUKE TO COMPETITION.

UNCONSCIOUS FOR FIVE HOURS. Says It’s Nobody’s Business and As- serts He Was Not a Slave to the Drug. Charles 'A. Yard, a well-known builder and contractor, took a big dose of morphine Fri- day morning. He was unconscious for five hours, but the doctors at the City Hospital gay the self- administered poison will not prove fatal. Yard lives with his wife and three children at 4062 Castleman avenue and has an office in the Emilie building at Ninth and Olive streets. His residence is one of the handsomest in a fashionable residence district and his friends and neighbors have .looked upon Yard as a prosperous and fortunate man. They do not think he took the poison with suicidal intent, because they know of no motive which could have prompted him to do so. He was found unconscious by his wife ear- ly Friday morning. He had come home ear- ly Thursday evening and retired about 10 o’clock, telling his wife to awake him at 5:30 o’clock. Mrs. Yard awoke shortly before that hour and tried to arouse her husband, but could not. She thought at first he was simply sleep- ing soundly, but finally became alarmed and summoned Drs. Kenner and Pailou. They examined Yard and said he ‘had taken an opiate. All of their efforts to arouse him were in vain, An ambulance was summoned and he ‘was taken to the City Dispensary, where it was found that he was suffering from morphine poisoning. He was still unconscious when taken to the City Hospital and remained so two hours. When a Post-Dispatch reporter called at the Yard fesidence Mrs. Yard answered the door bell, She apparently knew little about the cir- cumstances under which her husband took morphine, ‘It was all a mistake,’’ she said, ‘‘My hus- band simply took an overdose. He uses mor- phine all the time. He has been taking it for more than a year. He must have taken too much this morning.”’ Yard was seen at the City Hospital just after he had regained consciousness. He was in an ugly mood. “All I can tell you,” he sald, “is that I took ten grains of morphine at 5 o'clock this morning.’’ “Are you In the habit of taking it?’’ “No, I never took it before in my lfe.”’ NOR POLE other. | ‘takes.”—Interview with Peary, ia — THE ROUTE LT. PEARY WILL TAKE TO REACH THE NORTH POLE. “During next summer, and when possible later in the season, I will work northward and leave caches or stations at prominent points, and my final station will be at the last point of land I find.

Dr. Reder, act'hng C losptial Buperin- tendent, says that he has none of the char. acter .stics of a habitual morphine user and that if he had taken ten grains of the drug he would be dead now, @ will recover.

Joe is married, but is not in love with his wife. He likes another wom and because the father is inclined to take his daughter-in-law's side he and Joe have had trouble for the last month. Joe left the paternal roof and went to live dp South St. uls. A few days ago he cal on his father at home and asked for money. The old gentleman refused and then came trouble. “I'll send you to the Poor-house, you miserable old hobo,” screamed Joe at hi father. Joe also used language which ol Mr. Klein blushed to use before Judge Tee. body in telling the story in the First Dis- trict Police Court Friday morning. Miss Annie Mullisch, who lives in the house with old Mr. Klein, was more plain-spoken and she repeated just what Joe said. In addi- tion to the language, it was testified to that Joe threatened to waylay and murder his parent. Judge Peabody got impatient and ended the recital of family troubles by writing $50 opposite Joe’s name. SHE STOLE A RIDE. Julia Horrocks Must Answer a War- rant for Grand Larceny. Julia Horrocks likes @ carriage ride as well ag anybody in St. Louis, and when carriages are not provided for her wagons will do. She provided a wagon for herself Friday morning, and it is going to prove an expensive drive for her. The police say Julia i# a notorious char- acter, although she hag had but 18 years in which to achieve such a reputation, She was passing along Third street near Bid- dle about 4 o’clock Friday morning and a horse and wagon without a driver caught her eye. It was the delivery rig of Charles Gietz, a grocer at the Eleven-mile House on the Olive street road. The driver, Mar- tin Fr , had left the rig while he went for a load, Julia took her place on the driver’s seat and then sailed off down Biddle street. The sight of a woman piloting a delivery wagon struck Private Watchman Weigand as being odd. He stopped Julia near the corner of Broadway. e held the horse's head for a few moments and Fry soon ap- peared. Policemen Kilcvwilen and Simcox then came and Julia waa arrested. Julla was taken to the Fourth District station and Fry's request for a warrant charging grand larceny was granted. ONE TRAMP THE LESS. St. Louis County Coroner Investigates Another Tragedy. Coroner Rouge of St. Louls County gaid at Clayton Friday morning that he had concluded investigating the case of the un- known man whose y was found Thursa- day on the Colorado road at Fargo, three miles from Clayton, and that it was clearly a case of accident. It wags thought there might have been foul play. “The man was a tramp,” said the Cor- oner. “He evidently sat down on the en of a railroad tie along the rail and fel asleep. The buffer of an engine struck him. His body was found about three feet from the rall, Hig tattered coat was folded up on the tie, and had ev served him as a cushion. “Nothing was found to identify him. He was simply a tramp. He was about ® years old, and ihl-dressed. suppose he was drunk and couldn't or didn't see what his surroundings were.”’ NO IDLING ON HOLIDAYS.

William asked for another chance, and promised the Judge te be out of the State before noon, but the judge was firm and the saddle-colored Fox was led away by an officer. Grocers’ Picnic.

Will Try to Make Their Own Figures and Introduce a Naturally Colored Product. There is a movement on foot among the butter merchants of St. Louis which promises to revolutionize the trade and put prices upon an entirely new basis. For fully twenty years, or ever since the introduction of creamery butter in the West, the prices of butter in the St. Louis market have been determined by the price brought | at the weekly sales of butter on call at the | Elgin, Ill., Board of Trade. It is toward the abolition of this primitive method of fix; ing prices and a return to the basis of sup- ply and demand that the efforts of the deal- ers afe now directed. These Elgin butter sales are held every Monday afternoon, and on an average not over 600 tubs of butter are sold on the open " Board each week. Yet for years this small | amount has fixed the price of butter in! nearly all of the leading markets of the country. Within the last two years both New York | market and are doing business on an inde- pendent basis, much to the satisfaction of their merchants and the benefit of their trade. St. Louis still follows the old plan. Of late the Elgin prices have been particu- larly unsatisfactory, on account of the wide and unexpected fluctuations, were entirely independent of the conditions existing in this market. For instance, a short time ago, when our stocks were heavy and the demand light, and our dealers were naturally expecting a decline, there was a jump of 4 cents. Such sudden fluctuations cause a complete demoralization of the trade, as retail deai- ers who keep track of the Elgin market are unwilling to concede any advance in prices, but claim the right to receive the benefit of any decline in that market. These weekly Elgin sales take place so late that the reports of the sales do not reach St. Louis until after 3 o’clock in the and Chicago have cut loose from the Elgin , which , afternoon, and the St. Louis dealers com- lain as much in regard to the inconven- | in value. : There are about twenty-five wholesale | butter dealers in St. Louis, and they re- ceive on an average. 2,000 tubs of about 40 pounds each, of Elgin butter a week, but this is only a smali portion of the tatal amount of butter received in this market. The total amount of buter received in St. Louis during the year 1896 was 16,121,802 ounds, which does not include the butter rought into the city in wagons, by the dairymen and farmers in this vicinity. A meeting of the dealers will be called shortly, when a formal request, or demand, to change the date of holding the weekly sales from Monday to Saturday, andif this is not complied with steps will be taken to organize the St. Louis market on an inde- pendent basis. At this meeting it is proposed to inaugu- rate another reform, of vital interest to con- sumers as well as dealers in butter, and this is the abolition of the excedingly high col- oring of butter intended for consumption in the St. Louis market, and a return to the natural color of butter made in June. At present the St. Louis trade requires a higher colored butter than any other dis- tributing market in the United States, and this fact tends to place our dealers at @& disadvantage by limiting their supply. Dairy districts which are not directly tributary to St. Louis will not ship butter to this market unless on direct order, for the reason that, ff they color their product sufficiently high for the St. Louis trade, it acts as a disadvantage when offered for sale in other markets. If they consign but- ter which is not highly colored to this mar- ket it does not —— a satisfactory price. Dealers have tried for several years to do away with this high coloring, but with- out success. They intend killing two birds with one stone by doing away with high coloring and sehen their indepen- dence of the Elgin market, FOR THE GREAT WEST. Plans for the Transmississippi Com- mercial Congress Session. Much interest is being felt in the forth- coming meeting, July 14, at Salt Lake City of the Transmississippi Commercial Con- grese. This will be the ninth annual gath- ering.of that body, and it is intended to make it the most important in character and results ever held. The Transmississippi Commercial Con- gress is largely a St. Louis organization. Ite executive offices are here and here is its headquarters. H. R. Whitmore is Chair- man of the Executive Committee and W. H, Culmer, who is now in Salt Lake, is Secretary. The object of each annual gathering is to discuss such subjects, and when possi- ble formulate geome plan of action or pro- motion of them, as may come within the province of such an association of busi- ness men. For instance, the following topics are sug- gested for consideration at next month’s eesnerene at Salt Lake: The ransmississippi! International Ex- position, the Nicaragua Canal, the Ha- wailan eg ge irrigation, the cession of arid lands to the State, tmmigration to the Western States, restriction of immigration, Japanese competition, the disposition of public lands, restoration of the homestead poner, admission of Territories to State- ood, ageceltaens intereste, the culture of ramile, et auger industry, export of breadstuffs to China and Japan, preserva- tion of forests, national bankrupt law, con- struction and improvement of waterways and deep harbors, rail and water communi- cation with the seaboard, revention of damage by floods in the ississippi and other rivers, our trade with Mexico. This takes a wide range and some of the subjectg may get lost in the shuffle, but Mr. itmore hopes that there will be a delegation in the congress big and broad enough to take in the whole scope and make the influence of the congress felt upon national legislation. - articularly desirable that the right representation be had in the con- gress. Under the rules the Governor of each ne rg roma State or Territory ap- points ten delegates, the Mayor of each city appointe one delegate and one addi- tional for every 6,000 inhabitants up to a limit of ten delegates. .Missouri and St. Louis will therefore have twenty dele ates, to say nothing of other cities in the State. Gov. Stephens and Mayor Ziegenhein will, it is thought, name their respective delegates next week. There are plenty of men of ideas, money and leisure who want to go, 60 there will be no difficulty in max- x pay tome » s ho that by an arrangement wit the Salt ke people the Pres'dent ae hie cabinet may be induced to visit Salt Lake about the time the congress convenes, The Utah people are going to have a celebration of the settlement of Utah, beginning Juiy 2, and the President has partially prom- ised to come.
