The lips are puffed, the jaws are correspondingly en- larged and the patient complains of sharp, shooting pains, extending from the region of the eyes up over the forehead and head.

C., June 19.—A widely extended publication gave currency this morning to a story that the Japanese Gov- ernment is offended at recent treatment by Secretary Sherman, The story is that when the memorandum of Minister Toru Hoshi of Japan regarding the annexation treaty was handed Secretary Sherman, Minister Hoshi did not have positive information that the treaty was to be signed. He had read in the newspapers that it was being negotiated and would be perfected on the day follow- ing his visit. It is further said that when the memorandum was presented Secretary Sherman informed Mr. Hoshi that no an- nexation treaty had been prepared and that nothing concerning annexation was likely to come up for some time. Several days prior to the signing of the treaty the State Department had notified Great Britain and other governments that the treaty was about to be signed, but Japan was not in- cluded in the notice. At the Japanese Legation this morning it was stated by the Secretary of Legation that the Minister had not been kept in- formed of the progress of the Hawaiian annexation treaty.

TERRIBLE AFFLICTION BEFALLS LITTLE MARY COCLEY, A FIRST COMMUNICANT. WAS Through a Nervous Convulsion Her Eyeballs Reversed, Causing Her Excruciating Pain. On the eve of a great happiness little Mary Cooley, whose life has not been over- full of sunshine, has met with a terrible affliction. The child is an orphan and has been reared and educated by the Sisters of St. Joseph, who teach in St. Patrick’s school, East St. Louis. She was a member of the first communion class. Sunday morning she was to have partaken of the sacrament and received confirmation; She had been taught to regard the event as the greatest sp‘ritual epoch in her life. The good-hearted nuns were busy preparing her gown of spotless white. The little orphan would be as prettily gowned as any of her white-robed throng of schoolmates. Friday afternoon the class was brought into St. Patrick’s Church to rehearse for the event of Sunday morning. While Mary was walking toward the chan- cel rail she-threw up her hands and screamed and tottered. She would have fallen had a sister not taken her in her arms, “I’m blind,” the little one cried, as she clasped her hands over her eyes and shrieked with the intense pain that shot through her head. The girls of the first frizhtened by her agonizing cries, pews and fled panic-stricken from church. ‘ The little girl was carried into the vestry and simple remedies apovlied. Nothing seemed to afford relief. Fr. O'Halloran sent for a doctor. Meanwhile he looked at the little sufferer’s eyes and saw they were strangely distorted. She was suffering excruciating torture. When the physician arrived he saw that by some nervous convulsion the ch'‘ld's eyeballs had become reversed. The strain on the delicate nerves was intense and caused her untold torture. After injecting cocaine to relieve the pain, the physician ordered the child to be removed to St. Mary’s Hospital, An vpcration will be necesgary to straight-. en the child’s eyebal!s. It is likely, though, that her sight has been effectually impaired. Mary will receive her first communion pri- vaicly on her cot at the hospital. She will not wear the beautiful white dress that the delicate hands of the sisters stitched for their little ward. Her vision of a little girl in white kneeling at the altar rail to re- ceive communion from the hands of a bishop may never be anything in her - darkened life but the shadow of an unat- tained ideal. PAYNE ESTATE LITIGATION. / Judge Adams Ends It With a Perpet- ual Injunction. Judge Adams, in the United States Court Saturday, rendered a verdict in favor of Shaw F. Neely, United States Marshal of Kansas, in h's suit against Elizabeth A. Adair, to prevent further legal proceedings aimed at the legality of his ownerehip of over 1,800 feet of property on Magnolia av- enue, near Tower Grove Park. The land involved is a portion of the famous Thomas J. Payne estate that has been so frequently in litigation in the State courts. Mrs. Adair is the daughter of Mary Jones, who lived with the deceased Payne trom 1840 to 1846. On Nov. 10, 1846, an ante-nup- tial cOntract was drawn up, providing for two children born out of wedlock. Mrs, Adair was born before her mother came to Mr. Payne and claims her share under this contract. The iand has passed from the hands of the legal heirs, and the constant’ suits brought against the purchasers have so clouded the titles that the investments are not profitable. Judge Adams holds in his decree that the ante-nuptial contract is void, because at the time it was entered into Thomas J. Payne and Mary Jones were husband and wife, by virtue of a common law contract to that effect. The decree perpetually enjoins Mrs. Adair from commencing any action at law to assert any right, title or interest in the lands now in possession of Marshal Neely. . WATCH AND MONEY GONE. Mrs, Miller Left Them in a Satchel and Tempted a Negro. Mrs. Amelia Miller, living at 21 South Channing avenue, reported to the police to- day at noon that she had been robbed ‘of a satchel containing $1 in money and a gold watch and long chain worth $200.

QUINCY, If,, June 19.—Two men were killed by lightning near Taylor Station, Mo., to-day. They were Jaznes Smith, who lived on the farm of Mrs... James Garrett of Quincy, and Samuel H. Hickman, who boarded with him and worked the adjoining farm. Hickman was in the barn at 5 o'clock this morning when: Smith went to call him to breakfast. A bolt of lightning struck and killed Smith just as he entered the stable door. The same flash fired the barn and it was burned, Hickman was roasted to a crisp and two mules and three horses were also destroyed. While the barn was burn- ing Mrs. Smith and children rushed out and pulled the body of Smith from the flames. COOLER WEATHER. the Benefit. There was a slight relief Saturday from the torrid weather of the preceding five days. It was not cool, but then it was “not so warm.” In the early morning it wa cloudy and conditions seemed favorable for a storm, The heavy clouds disappeared at 8 o’clock. Though the sun shone brightly there was a sdntle breeze all morning which cooled the air. Toward noon it grew Goudy. and there were prospects of rain. Dr, ‘Frankenfield thinks there will be thunderstorms Satur- day night and Sunday in Missouri. The cooler weather Saturday he thinks was caused by the evalence Of heavy storms in the Lower Mississippi, Missouri and Ohio Valleys and on the upper lakes, Though St. Louis escaped the storms she ot the benefit of the cooling breezes which ollowed in their wake. . At7 a. m. the temperature was 74. There the mercury never got near the record of the last few days. Dr, Frankenfield predicts that unless a stray thunderstorm should come along it will be fair ne with the temperature about the same as Saturday's. The barometer in the Gulf region-is still high, which means that there can be no continued cool weather here. Fatal Case of Prostration.

Evans, the self-confessed cocaine fiend, who was found Friday morn- ing in her room at 1804 Locust street, was removed Saturday from the City Hospital to the Female Hospital. Her husband, Dr. Howard Evans of Phil- adelphia, has not returned to his boarding house since he left it Friday smcrtning, while a policeman was arranging to remove Mrs. Evans to the Hospital, This strange action would seem to give color to Mrs. Evans’ statement that she hai been drug- ged by her husband, although he may be remaining away out of no choice in the matter, as he is in arrears for board at 1804 Locust street and was told hy the landlady that he would have’ to settle before occupy: ing the room another week, | Mrs. Evans was seen Saturday morning by a Post-Dispatch tati She was 58 partly & she took Friday and her answers uestions were rambling and disconnected, he told her story as if by great effo candidly admitting, though, that both she and her husband were siaves to the mor- phine and cocaine habits. .

If she has taken any drugs she took them of her own accord.’ I told him: a policeman was with his wife and asked him if he would come up stairs.

Evans’ story of be- ing assaulted and drugged. She said the doctor and his wife were confirmed slaves and both peculiar in their actions and hab- its of living. Each had confessed that the other was a morphine’ and cocaine fiend, and seemed to care nothing for the fact be- ing known. ‘ “Dr. and Mrs. Evans came here a week ago,’ said Mrs. Maggs. ‘‘They said they were from Kansas City and I took them in t e friend there because I desired them as boarders. They did not seem to have much money and with all respect to them they were not what you would call a prepossess- me tage ge couple. They were commented upon by the other boarders for their queer actions, but we paid little attention to them. “I shall report the doctor ag missing if he doesn’t come soon to'claim his property and pay his bill.

They are not watching for the doc- tor, and seem satisfied to take Mrs. Evans’ story of the assault as a creation of the dis- ordered brain.

States of the Upper Mississippi Com- bining and Say They Can Con- trol a Million Votes. FORT ATKINSON, Wis., June 19.—‘‘But- terine must be legislated out of the United States” is the dictum of the National Dairy Union. The successful fight for the new anti-butterine law in Illinois has inspired the dairymen of the West to crush the but- ter substitute industry. They are going into politics to do it. Right now the creamery proprietors, the butter dealers and the dairy farmers of the big butter producing States, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Ne- braska, Kansas, Michigan and the Dakotas are being drawn into a compact fighting organization of not less than 500,000 and may be more than 1,000,000 voters and vote con- trollers. They are being pledged in writ- ing to work unceasingly for legislation that will prevent the coloring of butter substi- tutes and to “fight the men in high places who are unfriendly to the interests of the dairymen,”’ If necessary a fighting capital of $1,000,000 can be raised, it is believed, before the Legislatures of these dairy States meet again. This fund will be used to drive the butterine manufacturers from their strong- holds and if the industry find loopholes in State legislation the organization will move on Washington. W. D. Hoard of this city, former Gov- ernor of Wieconsin, and President of the National Dairy Union, is giving the move- ment all the benefit of his orgpnizing abil- ity. Charles Y. Knight of icago, Sec- retary of the National Dairy Union, and manager of the ant!i-butterine fight in the Illinois Legislature, is secretary and treas- urer of the new movement. The National Dairy Union has nearly 4,000 creameries in the North Mississippi Valley and around these the union ‘s build- ing up its fighting organization. Each creamery has on an average one hundred vatrons, or 406,000 in all. The price paid y the creamer‘es to these farmers for their milk is regulated by the price of but- ter. As extinction of competition with but- terine raises the prices-of milk, it ‘s ex- pected that the 400,000 farmers will rally against the butter substitute. The farm- ers who work up their milk into butter in their own dairies outnumber those who se!l to creameries. ‘they are expected to take an interest in this movement. The same view is held of the farmers who ship milk to the cities, the price of their product being influenced always by the price it will bring at the creameries. Then there are the city operators and their employes and the men who handle butter in the big cities, the com- mission men. All these are interested one Way or another. This indicates why the active spirits of the National Dairy Union are figuring on a po- litical army of 1,000,000 men or mote. fhe creameries are doing the enlisting. Every such institution (che: pony the butter pro- ducing States of the West is being suppiied with enrollment bianks, to be signed by their farmer patrons. These pledge them- selves, as indicated, to work for anti-but- terine legislation, and to fight ‘‘the men in high places who are unfriendly to the da ry-. men.” The signers also authorize the cream. ery-mranagers to deduct 25 cents a month from their bills, as a contribution to the campaign fund. This fund will, in a short — it ig thought, amount to a million dol- THE OPIUM EVIL. Discoveries Made by the San Francisco Grand-Jury.

LINCOLN, II, June 19.—Several persons were killed and injured and much damage was done by a severe storm, which struck Lincoln Friday afternoon. The grounds of the State institution for feeble-minded children and the farm Ccon- nected therewith received the full force of the storm. At the institution the roofs of the north wing and the power-house were | partially blown off, and a dozen huge wal- nut and elm trees were thrown around like straws in an angry flood. The loss to the State is heavy, but there was no loss of life. At the farm, two miles south of the in- stitution, a large cow barn, constructed in 1894, at a cost of $3,000, collapsed like an egg shell in the hand of a strong man, catching twenty-six boys and two men, killing four and severely in- uring three. ; The dead are: Sylvester Baker, age 15; James O’Brien, 12; Neal McKenzie, 13; Cas- t'e Le Baron. 16, all of Chicago, and pupils of the Institution. The injured are: Jocab Wilmett, farm su- erintendent, hurt about the head and be- ieved to be fatally injured; Lemue! Gleason, class attendant, back and lower limbs in- ured; Henry Berger, Willie Withem and illie Fisher, pupils, severely, though not dangerously hurt. Lemuel Gleason, attendant, who was w'th the boys when the crash came, saved sev- eral by his bravery and coolness. Oblivious of his own safety, he rescued several, and was found on top of a boy, pinioned down by timbers, saving the boy, and receiving severe injuries himself. The storm came from the northwest at a time when the mercury marked % de- grees. A great bank of clouds came rolling and tossing like a huge sea billow, ris.ng and falling as it swept along, obscuring vis- ion by a cloud of dust, and followed quickly by one of the hardest downfalls of rain of twenty minutes’ duration ever seen in this county. The storm appeared to be in two sections, dividing a few miles west of the institution, in which are nearly 700 in- matgs, including officers and attendants. The” division of the storm’s pm alone saved the institution from complete de- struction and a dreadful loss of life and property. INDIANA SUFFERS.

Roots earth UT oPalNGs MINING CAMP. —————— GOLD AND SILVER IN PAYING QUANTITIES. SOME VERY GOOD ASSAYS. Unusually Satisfactory Results Since Modern Methods Were Adopted and a Rush Expected. po Special to the Post-Dispatch. HOT SPRINGS, Ark., June 19.—The ex- istence of gold and silver in this section has been known for many years, but until very recently its development has been wholly neglected. This is chiefly attributable to the fact that confidence in the richness of the mines has been shaken on account of injudicious attempts at development. The methods of procedure in every case in the past have, it appears, been entirely con- trary to the principles of intelligent min- ing, hence every effort made was a failure so far as its purpose was to get at the quantity of the ore and an idea as to whether it would warrant the expenditure of a sum of money suffictsnt to develop It. The inexperience of those who have been engaged in mining in this section may be readily understood from the fact that all of the shafts that have been sunk up to @ very recent date have gone down into the rpendicularly, thus passing through | th: veinge of ore from the surface and losing | them entirely thereafter, the veins @pping | off from the surface at an angle of about 45 degrees. So it will be se2n that when | the supply of ore contained in the veins, through which the shaft passed was eX-| hausted under the methods employed there | was no more ore available and the ruins | less. That a half million dollars has been squandered in this section in ineffectual Morte at the development of mining prop- erty by the methods above described is not an exaggerated estimate, | But a new era has dawned upon the min- ing interests of this (Garland) and Mont- omery counties, and the indications are that this section is on the eve of a mining boom that will startle the country from one end to the other and eclipse those of many of the camps of Colorado and the far West that haveWattracted thousands of people from all parts of the country on account of thir great wealth. Of the various mines that have so far been located in this section the very ones that had been abandoned in the Silver City camp of Montgomery County are prowing the most valuable, perhaps because t development is more advanced than others, but it is a fact that to-day—and the work gold and silver, the latter greatly predomi- nating, has been blocked out in the Minnie Cramer, Mammoth, Eureka, Waterloo, Lady Franklin, Kentucky and Corrington mines, and is there to be seen by experts and oth- ers. This group of mines is the property of Col. Lee Worthington of this city, who is }an experienced miner and whose work of de- velopment has been done in accordance with the methods and ingen gs of intelligent mining. Col. Worthington always had great faith Tn the final outcome of this property and for the past few years has devoted his entire time and attention to its development, According to recent assays the average value of the ore taken from the Minnie Cramer-and the Eureka mines is 400 ounce ef silver to the ton, $13 in er cent of lead to the ton. The Mammoth as just been opened and it is the opinion of experts that the owner of this mine has struck a’bonanza. The vein is a fissure vein, four feet thick, opening with a tun- nel 250 feet on the vein, exposing a large body of ore for that distance, carrying brittle silver and black oxide of silver, with some galena. A number of assays are being made of the ore from this mine, showing from 200 to 1,600 ounces of silver and from $8 to $13 in gold to the ton. Improved machinery is now betng placed in position for getting out the ore and the work will be completed in the near future. It is the purpose of the owner to go down 1,000 feet on this vein. Arrangements are being made to open all of the mines above mentioned for active work. With present facilities for transportation the ore can be got to the smelters in St. Louis, Kansas City.and Chicago for $13 a t The proposed branch of the Kansas Gulf Ratlroad from Pittsburg & through the Silver City mining camp, whic will reduce the cost of shipping the ore to $7 per ton. It is.expected and confidently believed that this road will be completed within the next eight Months, some of the preliminary work having already begun. There are several very promising = this to present developments, Springs Mine, owned by Mr. J. of this city. This mine is located three- quarters of a mile from the north line of the Government reservation and about two miles and a half from the business center of Hot Springs. The work of development is going veeadily on in this mine. An open cut and tunnel of 96 feet have been made and a shaft 10x12 and 70 feet deep has been sunk.- Ag far as developed the average value of the ore is $35 a ton. Assays of the ore show from a trace to $762 in gold er ton. The ore carries in addition silver, ead and other mineral. In addition, there are two other cuts on this property, one 8) feet long by 12 wide, and the other 30 feet long by 8 feet wide, exposing well de- fined veins of ore. In conection with this mine’is a laboratory, furnaces, etc. The other gold mines in this country be'ng worked with most mig ay results are the Cripple Hill, eleven miles from the city, and the miles out of town. Your correspondent was unable to ascertain what the assays of ore from these mines showed, but they are at- tracting considerable attention, and many eople _ hn the city are going out daily on rips of inspection. Among the most valuable mining proper- ties in this section of the country are the Gebhart iron pyrites mines, three miles from this city. The quality of this ore is said by experts to equal the pyrites mines of Spain, the most famous in the world. The quantity is inexhaust‘ble. The most ex- ensive machinery has been purchased for hese mines and is now being placed in po- sition for their operation on an extensive Scale. A considerable quantity of the ore has already been shipped, and it has a ready sale at $8 a ton delivered. Out of this ore some of the most valuable chemical products are manufactured, namely sulphur and sulphu- ric acids and the finest of mineral paint. Dr. Gebhart. the owner of the property, is arranging for the manufacture of these roducts on a large scaie.

A REPUBLICAN ARGUES AGAINST HAWAIIAN ANNEXATION. ete ee oe GIVES MANY COGENT REASONS. It Would Ruin the Beet Business, Foster a Trust and Be Useless as a Station. NEW YORK, June 19.—A dispatch to the World from Washington, says Senator Per- kins (Rep.) of California, is strongly dis- posed to join his Democratic colleague, Sen- ator White, in opposition to the proposed annexation of Hawaii. - “I am familiar with the islands,”’ said he, ‘‘and I am very doubtful as to the wisdom of this policy. There is one point of some moment,’’ continued Mr. Perkins, “that has not yet been touched upon. Within the last year or two there have beefja large number of merchant vessels bwilt On the Clyde for the Hawaiian trade. They fly the Hawalian flag, but are English vessels. Under the proposed treaty those ships would naturally become entitled to American registry, for they would come im with the islands. ‘There is nothing in the treaty to prevent them from coming in, nor to prevent the Englishmen from wanes more vessels in anticipation of annexation and claiming SENATOR PERKINS American registry for all of them. In that case they would probably soon take awa all of our coastwise trade and render idle for some years our American ship-yards. ‘There is another, and perhaps more im- portant question involved. The annexation of Hawaii would, it seems to me, utterly ruin the beet sugar industry that is now beginning to assume considerable propor- tions in California and other parts of the West. With cool'e labor the Hawaiians in every case were abandoned as worth- | eir | has not fairly begun—$100,000 worth of ore, | Ss old, with 13 | | sion was brought to their attention. can produce sugar and refine it for 2 cents | a pound. Beet sugar costs anywhere from 3% cents to 4 cents a pownd to produce, and ' we could not compete. Then, too, the plant- ers of Hawaii have a trust just as tyrannical and as importune as the sugar trust, and it would not be long before the two joined forces and had the whole country at the-r | mercy. I shall not set up my personal | views against the majority of the people, 'but I am far from being an enthusiastic annexationist. The idea that we need Ha- wali as a coaling station fs foolish, because ships going from San Francisco to Japan or Ch:na would have to go 500 miles out of their way to touch at Hawall., “It would be much more convenient to establish a coaling station on one of the Aleutian Islands, which already belong to us, and are within about seventy-five miles of the path of ocean travel. “I do not appreciate, e'ther, the argument that we need Hawali because of its stra- getic value. The islands are 2,000 miles from San Francisco. England has at Esquimault a fortress which she is every day rendering more and more impregnable, and which is ' much nearer to San Francisco. I would be much more favorably disposed towards a proposition to purchase British Columbia. It would be much more valuable to us than Hawaili,”’ } GRAVE OVERSIGHT. No Provision for Registry of American Vessels. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 19.—The haste with which the Hawalian annexation | treaty was rushed to the Senate to divert | public attention from Cuba is probably re- | sponsible for some grave omissions. It has 'been discovered that the treaty contains no provision for safeguarding vessels with the American register. Under the Hawalian | law every tramp steamer on the high seas | May get a pegister and then ff the islands are annexed demand American register un- der existing treaty laws.

MR. HAUPTMANN’S EVIDENCE. | St. Louis Man Not Allowed to Purchase + Trust Goods If He Bonght Elsewhere. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, June 19.—The Tobacco Trust trial is of striking interest, more on account of legal squabbles than sensational evi- dence. It has been proved that the trust does suppress trade—for which crime the directors thereof are being tried—but much evidence has been brought in to show that like tactics have long been recognized in business. Peter Hauptmann was a witness, He is in the wholesale tobacco business at No. 412 North Third street, St. Louis. He testified that he had had dealings with all the cigar- ette firms before the formation of the trust. In 1890 he had handled about 15,000,000 cigar- ettes. In 1892 he sold about 16,000,000. From Jan, 1, 1893, until Oct. 1, 1893, his sales were 16,000,000, and then the trouble came. It had been his habit to pay for cigarettes in ten days, getting 50 per cent discount. He signed a consignm:nt agreement on March 1 but the.terms and arrangements aid not change. His dealings were with wm. Kirshoff, St. Louls agent for the American Tobacco Co. Mr. Hauptmann was very sure that he had never been agent for the com- any. ei made a purchase of 100,000 cigarettes from the National Tobacco Co. in the au- tumn of 1893. He had, these boxes on the shelves of his place business for about two days, when Mr. Kirshoff called to notif him that he had .violated his agreement wit the trust and that he could no longer obtain , trust cigarettes. He went to the St. Louis headquarters of the American Tobacco Co. and had a con- versation with Mr. Brown. The latter toid him that he must quit selling a certain brand of cigarettes or the trust would quit selling him goods of its manufacture. Brown told him that the American Tobacco Co. sold 97 or 98 per cent of all the cigarettes manufactured in the country,and did not see why he would not sell trust goods exclusive- ly. He was told by Mr. Brown that if he stuck by the trust he would sell 22,000,000 cigarettes yearly. itness was asked by District Attorney Olcott if he gave in to Mr. Brown. He re- plied that he did not. A letter sent to the witness by the American Tobacco C offered in evidence and read. It was to the effect that the company felt constrained to discontinue sending him further goods ex- cept at net prices without discount. Not until June, 1896, was the witness able to ens g00ds of the American Tobacco 0."s manufacture. Spot cash had always been paid by him for the trust goods. The trust not only refused to sell him tobacco, but he also was not allowed to buy goods from other firms fn St. Louls that handled the trust cigarettes, Hauptmann was permitted to tell how he had been deprived of trust cigarettes, or compelled to get his suppligs in a round- about way until he renewed his pledge of loyalty. He will tesume his story at the next session of the court on Monday. Theodore Allen also testified, but after many stormy passages between the attor- neys. He was practically the promoter of the trust. When he heard of the enormous advertising expenses of the leading cigar- ette manufacturing firms he suggested amalgamation. His proposition was favor- ably received, and the outcome was the union of Allen & Ginter, Goodwin & Co., W. Duke Sons, W. 8. Kimball and Kinney Bros., who made about 9 per cent of the cigarettes used In the United States in 1890. Mr. Allen subsequently brought suit for commissions, obtained a considerable sum of money as a compromise, and then opened an independent cigarette factory. Joseph H. Choate, former Surrogate Daniel G. Rollins and W. W. Fuller, counsel} for the Trust, made objections by turn to the questions, giving their reasons at in- finite length and with labyrinthine ramifica- tions, and when they were overruled by Judge Fitzgerald taking exceptions. The en- tire record has been peppered with excep- tions that may or may not prove valuable on appeal in the event that the jury brings in a verdict of guilty. Mr. Allen said Mr. Duke’s firm had spent $508,000 in 1888 for advertising brands of ci- garrettes. Allen & Ginter spent $250,000 for advertising that year. Mr. Allen said the five leading manufact- urers had consolidated for the purpose of economy. He receifved a letter on Sept. 6, 1889, from Allen & Ginter, who said they did not wish to join a trust, in the literal mean. ing\of the term, but that if the other manu- facturers were considering a combination they might be inclined to enter. After the firms united the price of cigarettes was reduced 30 cents a thousand, and tt has since remained lower than it was in 1889. The price is now 15 per cent lower than it was when the manufacturers were doing busi- ness independently. MUSIC TEACHERS. E. D. Kroeger President of the Mis- souri Association.

The Wittenberg bill was drawn and passed expressly to be signed by Ziegenhein. If Ziegenhein were not May- or the Wittenberg bill would not have been passed. If either Harrison or Meri- wether had been elected the Wittenberg bill would never have been heard of. If either Starkloff or Nagel had carried the Republican primaries and won at the polls the Republican majority in House and Council would not have dared sub- mit such a measure as the Wittenberg bill for executive approval. All the influence and patronage of the Mayor’s office have been used, from first to last, in favor of the Uthoff and the Wittenberg bills. Ziegenhein has lost no time in placing his signature to a meas- ure he has done so much to promote, and under which he can billet a small army .of Filley heelers and strikers on the pub- lic Treasury. : If Street Commissioner Milner had con- _ Sented to carry out the Filley-Ziegenhein programme, n er the Uthoff bill nor the Wittenberg bill would have become necessary.. The Commissjoner had the law on his side, but the Ziegenhein motto is, “Damn the law;” and Eagle Eph Houston was right when, in describing Filley methods, he said: “De ole man has new tricks every year.’’: And so we find that, law or no law, we are giving force and effect to the Ziegen- hein order to the Street Commissioner: “The Central Committee recommends each one of him a good man, and you puts him to work.” —_—_ = EXTENSION OF THE ’FRISCO. The Post-Dispatch has frequently re- ferred to the necessity of an extension of the Frisco Railroad west from Sapul- pa, for the better and more rapid develop- ment of the Southwest and the enlarge- ment of St. Louis’ trade relations with that section. tg Necessary legislative action by Con- Gress has been secured, and representa- tives of the leading business tnterests of Oklahoma Territory are now in this city urging that finanelal aid be extended to the enterprise, : The line could be easily and cheaply built, and it would pay on the invest- ment from the beginning. As the Frisco Company is now relieved of much of the _ burden of debt which oppressed it before the late reorganization, it should find no | serious difficulty in negotiating the sale of bonds for the work, which will be a long step toward reaching the position of a transcontinental line, which the origi- nators of the Atlantic & Pacific Railway had in view. GETTING TOGETHER. Democrats who desire the good of the party will look for excellent results from. the meeting to be held to-night at the Jefferson Club rooms. It is time to let the dead past bury its dead, as far ek minor differences are coméerned, and , Strive for & united party In St, Louis: does not mean that Democrats are ready to welcome wnrepentant Assist. - sidered in the problem of harmonizing the city Democracy. But-the indications that the unfortu- nate split of the spring campaign is likely to be healed will be good news to all true Democrats. This schism was one of bad management rather than heresy in the faith. The leaders of the two factions both had the good of the party at heart, but differed as to methods. It would be unfortunate indeed if a misunderstanding of this kind should iead to a permanent breach in the ranks. The Democracy of St. Louls has too much sense to stand for long in two op- posing camps that abuse each other. When the city government has fallen into the hands of a gang of political pirates, it is high time for the Democratic party of the city to bury the hatchet of faction and stand shoulder to shoulder in an ef- fort to redeem St. Louis from political ruin, a ——— i. ll — _ SOME MORE HUMBUG. The prospect of a crushing Republican defeat in Ohio is having several rather unexpected results. It has induced Sen- ator Foraker to announce his withdrawal for the time being from active political management, so that he cannot he held responsible for the debacle, and Hanna himself admitted two weeks ago that a more vigorous Cuban policy was likely to be thrown as a sop to dissatisfied voters. That the alarm is growing is shown by the inspired statement put forth prom- inently in Republican organs that Presi- dent McKinley has issued specific instruc- tions to American Ambassadors and Min- isters to the leading monometallist coun- tries of Europe to “Do all you can for bimetallism.” Accompanying this an- nouncement is the declaration that Mc- Kinley is a genuine bimetallist; that he is in earnest in his desire to promote bi- metallism, and that he -hopes to see the problem: solved .during his administra- tion. All this will evoke a prolpnged howl from Wall Street and the organs of the international gold syndicate. McKinley will be accused of repudiating the pledges of the St. Louis platform and of deceiv- ing the most productive of the fat-fryers in the last campaign. But Hanna and McKinley have reached the conclusion that even this is better than a crushing defeat in Ohio, which is now seen to be inevitable unless something: is done to | stay the rush of the people in that State to the free silver ranks. Wall Street will be defied for a few weeks while another scheme is engineered to bunko the people. When the election is over, whether Hanna wins or loses, Wall Street and the syndicate can be pacified again by a return to the gold standard policy, which is the fixed policy of the McKinley Administration. oF M’KINLEY’S HAWAIIAN MESSAGE. Mr. McKinley’s Hawaiian message is weak. Because we have for years main- tained a practical protectorate over Ha- wali, says the President,.its absorption is a uatural consummation. If that be true, then we must annex Venezuela, for our interposition in defense of that country against British aggressiom was and is to all intents and purposes a pro- tectorate, as much of a protectorate as we have ever held toward Hawail. They are shallow reasoners who hold that our obligations to weaker American powers under the. Monroe doctrine ex- tend to the islands of the sea, remote from our coasts, in which American fill- busters have established themselves. But they are shallower still who maintain that the protection of a people against foreign aggression involves their annex- ation. People who consider the matter will be apt to conclude that theprotectorate now existing, and which Mr. McKinley says has saved Hawaii from European or Asiatic domination, may well be depended upon for the future, and can be main- tained at much less expense and danger than would attend the debts, jobs, sub- sidies and grants growing out of annex- ation of the islands, Behind the Hawalian grabbers stand the Nicaragua canal grabbers, ready to urge their $100,000,000 canal subvertion as vitally necessary to quick communication between the home government and the colony, and indispensable for the rapid concentration of military and naval forces in defense of the islands when threatened. In this way we may be forced into another subvention steal of the Pacific Railroad kind, into which, with the wounds of our experience with Huntington still fresh upon us, we could not be forced in any other way, Annexing Hawali would be the first step in a career of robbery and jobbery, aad a disastrous abandonment of our tre- ditional principles and policies, At Burlington and other places in Veér- mont a prosperous industry has grown up in the manufacture of doors, sash, blinds, etc., from Canadian white: pine, which will cease to come into New Eng: land free of duty when the Dingley bill shall have become a law. That the Ver- monters have been holding a mass meet- ing to protest against any duty on Can- adian white pine is natural, but it is also very amusing when Vermont’s tariff rec- ord is remembered. ———_—_¢-$- —= -—___—— While St. Louis weather has been op- pressive, we have escaped the destructive winds that have swept over Illinois, Indi- ana, Iowa, Kentucky and Kansas. There are optimists who declare that St. Louis is now one of the safest points in the Union in tornado seasons. i a rs The Wittenberg bill has been signed by the Mayor before the people have seen It. Avoidance of publicity in municipal gov- ernment is always good ground for sus- picion. There is little doubt now as to what the Ziegenhein administration means for St, Louis, It is said that nearly $1,000,000,000 are lying idle in the great cities, As the own- ers of this money do not feel the con- | fidence which they predicted-they would have on the election of McKinley, they d0 tot care to invest it.- $$$ 9 4 ————— ‘While some of the gold organs have announced the arrival of prosperity, the chaplain of the United States Senate has : ‘praying for it to come.

JOCKEY CLUB’S BALANCE IS ON THE RIGHT SIDE. SUMMER MEET OPENS MONDAY. Stable Room Will Be Made for a High- er Class of Horses and the Sport Will Improve. With the running of the last race on the card at the Fair Grounds Saturday after- noon-ends the spring meeting of the St. Louis Jockey Club. Monday the regular summer meeting begins. For thirty racing days, six evente have been run off daily, and there has been plenty of sport for the lovers of racing. Nearly 800 horses were stabled at the track at the beginning of the meeting, and at the end of it that number has not been de- creased. The result was that, as a rule, the fields were as large as any that ever faced the starter on amy Western track. What the horses lacked in quality they certainly made up in quantity, and there was scarcely one of the thirty days’ racing that close and exciting contests and nose finishes were not seen. There are ¢omé high-class horses at the track, but they are generally seen only in the stakes and do not become as familiar to race-goers as do the others who start regularly two or three times a week. The association, during.the spring meet- ing, has run about eight stakes, nearly all of them valuable, and !n these stakes have been seen some of the best horses in the West, headed by the great Typhoon Il. While fast races“ have been run only one track -record has been broken, and that by the light-weighted Dare II., when he went a mile and a gixteenth in 1:46%, the track being fast and two others favor- ite over the record breaker. During the thirty days of the meeting 168 races have been run, eight of them being stakes. The stakes, at a low estimate, cost the association $10,000 in added money, and the 160 purse races, of $300 each, cost the club $48,000. The other expenses of the meeting, salaries, wages, advertising, etc., amount to about $300 3 day or $9,000 for the meeting. The total expense of running a thirty days’ meeting, omitting what the rent of the grounds would be, is about $67,- 000 or an average of about $2,260 per day. As an offset to this the club, from nine bookmakers, the usual] number on, derives an income of $900 per day, or $27,000 for the thirty days meeting. The bar, programme and other privileges are worth about $2,000 to the association. With $29,000 coming in this way and $67,000 going out there is a deficit of $38,000 to be made up by the at- tendance. This means the paid aitendance must pobecdg at 50 cents admission, some- thing over 2,000 people every day during the meeting. The attendance has never gone that low and generally the average attend- ance has been 4,000 people, and not more than 500 of em trainers, owners, boOkmakers and race track attaches, wore free badges A paid attendance of 3,000 people, $1,500, Is 4 congervative estimate of the aily paid ad- minissions.

All the owners and trainers at the Fair Grounds seem to be The racing is certainiy honest. ie Monday the summer meeting will be inaugurated, and it will run along during the summer, Siving way in the au- tumn to the fall meeting, consequently there will be continuous racing at the Fair Grounds until time for snow to. fly. Some of the richest and greatest stakes are to be run here at the summer meeting the most important of which will be the St. Louis Derby, worth $12,000, which wll be run next Saturday, and whitch will bring the Western cracks, Typhoon tL. and Orna- ment, Boanerges, and a great field of 3- year-olds into the race for the rich prize It is probable that the record will be broken that day as to attendance, for threre is a great desire to see Ornament and Ty- hoon in @ race at a mile and a half after tale thovbe as of pament in the Ken- a mile gg Forget, and @ quarter early uring the summer meeting the six races run off every day. Dyeapathy iss jewel, but there shouldn't be much sym.- pathy on a race course. In arran ng the dally programmes the management has been paying too much attention to beaten non- winners. Races for beaten non-winners were carded almost every day during this spring meeting. They make big fields, but generally result in poor sport, ¢ There will some vacant stalls at the Fair Grounds Sunday. Several horse on. ers have been notified to remove their horses from the grounds, their room being better than their company. These are the weeded out horses, scrubs that couldn't win at Sportsman's Park or in any company, mostiy horses that have not started. This class of animals is not wanted at the track, and the owners have been notified to get them away ... WITHOUT A STRUGGLE. Browns Outplayed the Phillies and Won Hands Down. The surprise of the week in base bal] circles was the defeat of Philadelphia by the Browns Friday by a score of 9 to 4. The Browns outplayed the Phillies both at the bat and in the field, and for once luck seemed to be with them. Their hits came when hits were needed. Hallman led at the bat with three hits, but he did not have a single fielding chance at third base. Cross at short accepted seven chances without an error. Friday night the Browns left Philadelphia for Cincinnati. President Von der Ahe did not go with the Browns, but remained over to attend the ceremonies of dedication of the.monument to the late Harry Wright in hiladeiphia Sunday. While in the Quaker City he will keep his eyes on sev- eral players in the Wilkesbarre club, which is expected to disband. He thinks a cer- tain ilkesbarre player would strengthen the Browns.

Dr. Smith Gives Dr. Starkloff a Hard Race for First Place. At the Dupont Park shoot Friday, many of the members were not present, on ac- count of the threaten storm. Enough were present to make a lively shoot and a ood time was the result. Both doctors were n good form and the honors were about aos lly divided for first place. Don started off an easy winner in the first event. Nold did not get down to work until the sweep- Stakes and dowbles. The latter seems to be his favorites.

A warrant for Dee was !ssued and Dyer’s case taken under advisement. Dee was arrested Friday afternoon at the instance of Mr. Westhus, who charges him with attempted blackmai]. Westhus’ state- ment implicates Dyer in the scheme to ex- tort money.

This is the second game of a series of three games for the championship of the 14-vear-old class. The Bonner Miller, Jrs., winning the first game by a score of 17to3.

The Diels would like to arrange a series of games with the A. B C.’s, Brown Reserves, Oberts and Sporting News. Address C. A. Wilson, 3 North Broadway. The Faultness Tailors will play the re- organized na Sunday afternoon at Mad- denville. The ellogs have secured sev- eral new players and are now considered one of the leading amateur teams in St. Louis, The game will be called at 8 o’clock. The Consumers will play the East St. Louis Oberts next Sunday afternoon at Den- verside Park. The Consumers would like to arrange games with all the best clubs in and outside of St. Louis. There is much speculation in base ball circles over the outcome of the game to be played at South Side Park Sunday after- noon between the Sporting News and the A. B. C, teams, both of which have defeat- ed the Oberts this season. The Sportin News team defeated them by a score o 8 to 1 last Sunday and about two weeks ago the A. B. C.’s shut them out, but only making six runs. These scores give a splendid line on the contestants in Sunday’s game, and, figuring on form, it should surely be a battle royal.

Dyer did not ask for money, but he intimated that Westhus ought to advertise 'in his paper. Westhus went at once to Chief Harrigan, who, after a consultation with Chief Desmond, detailed Detective Joe Hat- ton to work on the case. A few days later Charles Mersman called on Westhus. He said he was an advertising solicitor and wanted “that ad.” When Westhus refused to advertise in the aper Westhus spoke of the letter held by yer and said it would not be pleasant for Westhus if it were published. Westhus made another call at the Four Courts, and with the assistance of Joe Hatton marked $100 in five, ten and twenty-dollar bills. Westhus called on Dyer that afternoon and made arrangements to meet Frank Dee, who, Dyer said, had the letter. Friday afternoon Westhus and Detective Hatton went to the Dyer’s News .Letter offi¢e. Hatton took a position across the street where he could see everything that occurred in the office. Westhus met Dee, who demanded $100 for the letter. Westhus finally induced him to accept $20. Dee tore up the letter and he: tt paid over two of the marked $lvu ills. At the same time he laid his hat on the window sill. This was a signal for Hatton, who ran across the street and entered the office. When Dee saw him he pulled the money from his pocket and tossed it to Dyer, It fell at Dyer’s feet and Hatton grabbed it. In the excitement Dyer and Mersman e»s- caped. Detective Hatton locked the door and fished the scraps of the letter from the waste basket. When pasted together it read: Editors Dyer’s News Letter: Dear Sir— From the columns of your paper I should judge that you are willing to show up wrong-doing. There is one of our prominent business men, Ben Westhus. He is a married man and has been going with another woman at a fine rate. His wife is a quiet, sweet little woman and should be treated bet- ter by this man Westhus. Dee was taken to the Four Courts. He could make no denial, but said he had been used as a scapegoat for Dyer. When Hatton and Westhus came from Assistant Prosecutor Johnson's office Sat- urday morning they said he told them he would have to take their applications for warrants against Dee and Dyer under ad- yseusens and might not act before Mon- ay. He was quoted as having remarked inci- dentally that the men were friende of his. A few minutes after Hatton and Westhus left his office he announcéd that he had drawn up a warrant for Dee and would is- sue it if Hatton*and Westhus would swear to the information, They had left the bulld- ing and could not be found. e refused to discuss Dyer’s case, saying that no application for a warrant for Dyer had been made. Later he announced that a warrant for blackmail had been issued against Dee and that he was looking up the law on Dyer’‘s case. Dee, who had been in the holdover, was released on a $500 bond signed by Col. .Ed Butler. Dyer’s News Letter is the official organ of the Merchants’ League Republican Club, Boss Filley’s political organization. SLEPT IN HIS BATH. Charles Vocht Dreamed He Was Being Strangled, Which rie Was. Charles Vocht could not sweat, and be- coming alarmed he hastened to his room at 2909 Texas avenue. Here his efforts to keep ge penta overheated almost cost him is life. He got in a bath tub and turned on the water. The cool water was so refreshing that he was loath to leave his bath. He stretched out at full length and soon dropped into a doze. He slipped down in the etd roay enough to let the water cover his head. He dreamed some one was strangling him, and fought his imaginary foe. When he awoke he was so weak he could not draw himself from the tub. Other roomers had heard Vocht’s struggles and went to his rescue. An ambulance was called and he was sent to the Citx Hospital. Saturday morn- ing he was able to leave the hospital.

Dr. Johnson is but one of many able clergymen who have publicly advised the use of Paine’s celery compound, basing their recommendations on the benefit they them- selves have derived from its use. Not only among clergymen, lawyers and physicians, but among all classes of houghtful, intelligent people Paine’s celery compound is the one reliable remedy for building up the system when it is run down.- It is the greatest nerve and brain invigorator the world has ever known. Dr. Johnson says of this great remedy: Wells, Richardson & Co., Gentlemen:—Having used your Paine's celery compound as a tonic, I can cheer- fully bear testimony to its value in restor- ing wasted energy and inducing sleep when one is restless and ae oo UGH JOHNSON.

MY FI FIRST CASE. (Copyright by Truth Company.) Two years after I had graduated at col- lege I had a sign paintea, “‘John Hendricks, Counselor-at-Law,’" and hung it out in the thriving town of* Rhinewick. Then I sat my college chum, Ned Wilson, assured me would come in time. He it was who induced me to settle in that particular town. His father was President of the most important bank in the locality, and Ned assured me down to await the lucrative’ practice that any etvenindiiiidide: and would eventuall have married. But that the scheme wala hurrying the consummation of the affair was certain. Indeed, a month after his re- turn I seldom saw Ni ed, he was 80 attentive to Miss Melton. In the meantime the two fathers pretended to be at loggerheads over business matters; and it was only by meet- ing once or twice a week at my office that they coul4 get a chance to continue their friendly intercourse, and laugh with delight at the success with which they were meet- ing.

Francis Gets $1,000 a Month and, It Is Claimed, Does Nothing for It. A receivership that involves no work, gives the possessor absolute control of property worth a couple of millions, and Is compensated at the rate of $12,000 a year, is a good thing to have. It is evena better thing, when there is every prospect of its going on indefinitely, The unfortunate bond and stockholders ef the United Elevator Co. of St. Louis, who immediately after the tornado last year had their property thrust into tne hands of a receiver, much against the will of a large number of them, have learned what the luxury of a receivership costs. Judge E. B. Adams of the United States Circuit Court has made a ruling by which Receiver David R. Francis is to be allowed $8,000 for ‘the St. Louis end of the receiver- ship, for the thirteen months of his in- cumbency, and the United States Court of Illinois will enter up a ruling already agreed upon for $6,000 for the Illin end, which makes $1,000 a month for the thir- een months of the receivership. gp Adams also ordered that Campbell & Ryan be paid $4,500 for legal services; E, 8. Robert, another attorney, $2,500, and the venerable Col. Broadheat $500. The sb however, felt constraine. to cut Campbel & Ryan from $10,000, which was the fee they demanded, and Mr. Robert trom $7,500, But he did not cut his intimate friend, the re- cetver, nor the receiver's iltimate friend, Col. Broadhead, nor the the _ receiver's brother-in-law and secretary and attorney in fact. W. P. Kennett, who it Is said is down for a salary of $3,000 a year, for at-) tending to the receivership. The expenses of the receivership since Mr. Francis was installed are about $28,000, which J. B. M. Kehlor, one of the commit- tee of bondholders appointed last fall to try and effect a reorganization of the com- pany, denounces as “an outrageous extor- ton.’ “You may say,” said Mr. Kehlor with much indignation, “that I regard it as an outrage that our distressed company should be forced to pay any such extortionate fees. What is it for? I would like to know. I don’t imagine that Gov. Francis has given the affairs of the apt obec 4 a day's full time since Judge Adams appoint- ed him. How could he? Why, he was in Washington most of the time. His broth- er-in-law, Mr. Kennett, was employed to run the receivership, and we, it seems, have to pay him a big salary, too. “IT am disgusted. here never was any need of a receivership, and the best proof is that nothing has been accomplished under it. We have never been able to find out from either Mr. Francis or anybody else what the receiver is doing or not do- ing. We only know that expenses are go- ing on at an extravagant rate, and that if not checked pretty soon we will have to go into court and demand an accounting, a foreclosure and a termination of the ex- pensive luxury.”’ The United Elevator Co. was dragged into court May ® last year,\three days after the tornado, in which the elevators were alleged to have been damaged $300,000, by the action of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Ratlroad Co., which held $97,- 000-of the bonds, and R. P. Tansey, who held $3,000. Many of the bondholders were op- osed to eu them other ey rotests were unavall- ng. The proceedigs oe to be in the United States Court, the propérty being located in two States, so Judge Adams granted the application for,a receiver and appointed David Francis, and when he made this order Judge Adams made many close in- quiries as to the way the elevator business was conducted, and particularly whether the company ever‘dealt in futures, He gave notice that he was not going to approve anything of that kind, d he also an- nounced that he expected that the parties would shape things right along on thé line of a speedy foreclosure. ' If there seemed to be a disposition to de- Jay the foreclosure and sale of the property a would reserve the right to dismiss the There were similar proceedings in Spring- oem att. aan pe ay oy ere Ruaotates . Francie receiver for the elevators in noe ee ae i oe cting on the hint from Jud Adams that he wished a speedy Setalimare and winding up of the company’s affairs, the bondholders last September formed a com- mittee to arrange for foreclosure and reor- ganization of the company. This committee Was composed of Breckinridge Jones, J. B. M. Kehlor and Henry Potter. Upon their recommendation ai s0-called rotecti Committee was,organized, composed as fol- we: David R.

Mullanphy Board Filled—Defeat of the Ball Park Tax. The four vacancies in the Mullanphy Board were filled by the City Council at its meeting Friday night. Those elected were Theodore Hemmel- man, Jr., to succeed himself, and Anton Demuth, both as repecnce a tives of the Tenth Congressional District; Arnold Beck, to succeed himself, and Dr. August Kley- kamp, bot. as representatives the Eleventh C¥ngressional District. Mr. Hagan’s anti-tobacco spittin nance was ordered to engrossment, air. Gast alone voting no. Mr. Thuner’s bill, sone all ~ ey i raphers who sell pictures to take out a l- cense, was also ordered engrossed. A bill was introduced by Mr. Uthoff to vacate Atlantic street, between Cardinal and Montrdése avenues, for the use of the Terminal Railroad. In the House of Delegates the bill to li- ery > om controlled by a etrong spring. A of Virnoche’s, who had some money, was en- thusiastic over the table, and it was agreed to go to Chicago and establish a factory. It cost a oe deal of money to do this. About the:-time the invention was ready for the market the hard times struck the coun- try and Virnoche and his partner were forced to the wall. He was left penniless. work, but was unsuccessful. He came to St. Louls several months ago, but could not find the work he was looking for. He got a place as waiter in Frank mee restaurant at Seventh street and avenue, Malaria fastened on him and was forced to become a charity patient at the City Hospital. He is unmarried. LEAD PIPE THIEVES. : . Stripped. Lead pipe thieves ‘have been operating around Police Headquarters. Every vacant house and building within a radius of three blocks of the Four Courts has been broken inte and stripped of lead pipe and brass fin- shings. Probably the most daring of these rob- beries was committed several nights ago when the thieves ransacked the five houses on Twelfth street, just north of the alley, one-half block north of the Four Courts... The back door of each house was battered down, and so complete and thorough were the thieves in thelr work that they even stripped the zinc from the bath-tubs. They tore the paper from the walls, broke the mantels and shattered the casings. Besides those five houses there are about twenty others where only the lead pipe has been taken. At Twelfth and Poplar streets, across from where the old Union Depat stood, is a four-story vacant building, for- merly occupied as a hotel. The building has been gone through until there is not a pound of lead pipe in the place. SUBURBAN LOOP. Arguments Heard by the Council’s Railroad Committee. The Council Committee on Railroads lie- tened yesterday afternoon to arguments for and against the bill granting the Suburban Railroad Co. the right of a downtown loop over Sixth, Elm, Third and Locust streets. Ex-Councilman Franklin Ferr'se spoke for the Suburban and was followed by L. L. Butler, A. J. White, Al Croissant, Messrs. Crow, Wright and Bradley, who presented favorable arguments. Henry B. Davis led the fight against the bill, showing the narrow and crowded con- dition of Third street and the interfer- ence with bus‘ness the proposed loop would be. Nathan Cole, J. C. O’Brien, Attorney Hibbard and Joseph A. Ruckland addressed the committee in a similar strain. . O. Sawyer says he will apply for an injunction if necessary ¢o protect his prop- erty against encroachment by the railroad, A FAMILY WARRANT. The Good Name of Johnson Figured Extensively in It. A warrant was issued Friday afternoon in which there is apparently “Top Much Johnson.” The warrant charged John An- drews and John Smith with stealing a lawn mower. The complainant was Frank Johnson and a prosecuting witness was John Johnson. Taylor Johnson, son of Col. Dick Johnson, drew up the Information and Col, Dick Johnson signed the instrument. ‘“That’s just like writing a letter home,” said Col. Johnson, after affixing his signa- ture. Forest Park Concerts.

Buns an Employment Agency and Has to Throw in a Little Physical Force Now and Then. An undersized man with a black stiff hat walked up to the entrance of the Sanford Building at 919 Olive street late Friday af- ternoon, He took a. screw driver from his pocket and loosened a ground glass sign fastened to the front of the building and reading “Citizens’ Employment Company, Second Floor.” When he removed the sign and set "s rk he ‘ it on edge at the foot of the stairs another sign was disclosed. It read: “Globe Em- ployment Company, Second Floor.” This was the sequel to an exciting scene earlier in the day, when two women did’ battle on the pavement in front of the building. The fair were Mrs. EB. Ll. Sheets and Miss Frances Norris, both self- styled business women and both in the em- ployment agency business. Mrs, Sheetz and her husband run the Globe Employment Agency, While Miss Nor- ris is the presiding genius of the Citizens’ Employment Co, The concerns occupy of- fices on opposite sides of the hall and open warfare has existed between them for some time. Miss Norris claims she had her sign out ar and that it remained there pppoe u substi- tuting a7, when eomebody stole tobe 8.gn Co.'s. 4 ain. ; started when Mrs. Sheetz left her office to go down-stairs. Miss Norris watched her and followed her, tz was removing Miss Norris en she said. I’ll sue Mrs. Sheetz ue ; “On Jan. 13,"" she said, “I came to this room and registered my name with the Standard Employment Co., which was under the management of E. L. Sheetz, and wad being run under a license secured by J. Cattle. 8S tz sent me to Willlam & Willis, business Srokers, who he said needed a cashier. They told me I could = a job if I would furnish a bond or a deposit of “I came back’ here and asked Sheets whether he thought it advisiable for me to ut up that much money. He said no, but f I had that much money I ought to go in business for myself. He told me that in connection with his business he was run- ning, but wanted to sell, the New York Rent Rureau, which paid $9 or $10 a-week. I d $50 for the business and good will of the rent bureau, stayed with it a month, worked it to a finish and never made a cent. “Sheetz said this was because my desk was in an employment office. He said he going to open a brokerage office in the Chemical Building in elise with a man named Fowler, and that I could have desk room there and a half interest in the brokerage business if I would put up $100 to help furnish the office. I did this. Shortly afterwards Sheetz wanted to take in a part- ner, James A. Yantz, who was willing to tre up $250 for an interest in the brokerage usiness. “Sheetz & Fowler were still running the Standard Employment Co. in this office.
