TUESDAY EVENING—ST. LOUIS—JULY 20, 1897.—TEN PAGES. : PRICE Sokol S.50K SSS coxre HE WAS EXPERT AT SELF-MURDER —_ — OLD PAUL MAYER HANGED HIM- SELF IN A BEAUTIFULLY SCIENTIFIO WAY. Cool and Deliberate Preparations Made for Death by St-an- gulation. — HIS PLANS MATURED 80 THOR- OUGHLY THERE WAS NO CHANCE OF FAILURE. Se eae —_— a —— e oO The Old Carpenter Had Been Out of Employment Several Weeks and Drinking Heavily. With great care and deliberation Paul Mayer, a carpenter, 57 years of age, ended his life by hanging himself in his bedroom at his boarding-house, 2801 South Broadway. If the jailer paid as much attention to the little details of an execution as did old man Mayer to those of his owhf hanging, there would never be any broken ropes or mis- takes made. Everything surrounding the affair showed the old fellow had planned carefully and long. His attire, the way the rope was fas- tened, the place the chair was set and the manner in which the nail was driven into the wall indicated a matured = scheme, thought out by one practiced in measuring the relative strength of materials such as @re used in the carpenter's trade. The rope was not too big, nor yet light enough to break. The nail was just strong enough to answer the purpose, and driven in at such a height as to make it unneces- sary to kick the chair over and thereby at- _ tract attention. When he was found he had “ done the job so well that it was impossible to save his life. Tuesday about 9 o'clock the chambermaid wanted to go into his room to make up the bed and found the door closed. She asked another boarder, August Setz, to go in and eee whether the old man was up. Setz opened the door, which was not locked. He looked at the bed and saw that the old man Mayer was not in it. He turned to tell the chambermaid that Mayer was out and she might come in and make up the bed. “As he turned he saw the old man apparently standing on a chair with his back to the wall, He gave a whoop, and so did the cham- bermaid, who saw the old man about the same instant. Mayer was hanging by a half-inch rope to @ large wire nail he had driven into the wall for the purpose. From a hangman's standpoint, the gsui- cide was a success. The rope was drawn tightly around the old man’s neck, with the knot or slip noose on the left side, well back of the ear. His feet, shod in carpet slip- pers, were hanging about an inch below either side of the chair that he had stood upon to get up to the nad) he had driven into the ecantling of the partition wall. The nail was fixed at a height which did not require kicking the chaér over, or which would bring any unnecessary strain or jerk upon the rope. The knot in the noose indi- : cated more than anything else the delibera- | tion of the suicide. It was made of half- Sch clothes line, and a part of it had been unraveled and the end turned back and . Spliced in so as to make a noose such as @ sailor would naturally make. The splice Was very neatly and artistically formed and showed that Mayer knew what he was about when he mde it. He had to all appearances used the nail, which was of wire, about eight inches long, for a handspike to splice the noose with, and after making the splice sure and firm had driven the nail into the partition wall a few feet away from his bed. Then he carefully adjusted the loose end of the rope over the nail and turned his back to the wall and slipped the noose over his head. Standing with one foot on either edge of the chair it was a’simple matter for him to let himself carefully down so as to strangle | to death and not jerk the nail out of the wall. When found his hands were hanging , by his side and his face looked calm and undisturbed. ready beginning to ‘tere bn ee the JUDGE PEABODY UNDER ARREST, _——_ — 4 WARRANT SWORN TO BY BROCE STORTS CHARGING OPPRES- SION IN OFFICE. ‘The Little Judge Will Be Tried Before His Enemy, Judge ¥ Murphy. HE DISBARRED STORTS, THEN FINED HIM FOR CONTEMPT WHILE OUT OF THE CITY. Judge Peabody Is Not Worried, but Is ~ Surprised That a Warrant Was Issued. Judge Thomas H. Peabody of the First District Police Court was arrested by Chief Deputy Sheriff Anton Heubler Tuesday morning on a warrant charging him with oppession in office. The warrant was served before the Po- lice Judge had left his cotirt-room. He smilingly admitted the officer's authority and accompanied him to the Sheriff's office where he promptly furnished bond and was released. Judge Peabody will be arraigned Wednes- day morning in the Court of Criminal] Cor- ‘rection before his old friend, Judge David Murphy. The warrant was issued by Prosecuting Attorney Thomas E. Mulvihill, after the case had been submitted to Assistant Prose- cuting Attorney Richard M. Johnson sev- eral days ago and held under advisement. Charles Brockway Storts is the complain- \ing witness. Other witnesses who appear on the back of the information are Jeff D. Storts, a Four Courts attorney and. brother of the complainant; John A. Gernez and Percival Adams, attorneys, and John F. McEnnis, clerk of Judge Peabody's court. The charge preferred is oppression in of- fice. The penalty, in case of conviction, | is severe. It provides for a fine not exceed- ing $500, removal from office, abrogates the right of voting at any election, and pro- hibits the convicted man holding any pub- lic office of trust in the future. The issuance of the warrant is the result of a continuous quarrel between Judge Pea- _ body and the Storts brothers, since he took | the bench, by appointment of Mayor Wal- bridge in May, 1895. The specific charge is the ejectment and practical disbarment of Brock Storts in ghe Police Court on July 15. Storts was the attorney for a defendant. | He asked for a continuance, which Judge | Peabody declined to grant. Storts arose to explain his position. The Judge would not permit him ‘to explain. Storts insisted and | Judge Peabody ordered Storts out of his ,court. He was slow about going and the Judge threatened to have a Deputy Marshal eject him, Storts went out, only to return in a few minutes. The Judge espied him ,and ordered the marshals to eject him. This was done, Jeff Storts interceded in his brother's be- haif. The Court doubted that Brock was a licensed attorney, and so said. Jeff sent across the street to his office and brought Brock’s license into court to satisfy the Court. Judge Peabody would not look at the license. Then Brock Storts was cited to appear in the court and answer to the charge of con- tempt. He had gone fishing. When his case was called Saturday his absence made no difference, and the case was tried. After the evidence for the city was in, there be- ing none for the defendant, Judge Peabody judged that Judge Peabody's court had been insulted by Brock and he imposed a fine of $50 and sentenced him to twenty-four hours in the calaboose, The execution was given to Deputy Mar- shal Smith with instructions to serve it. Jeff Storts took a hand in the proceedings. He informed the Deputy Marsha] that if Brock was imprisoned he would surely be sued on his bond. He held that contempt had not been proved and that Judge Pea- body’s actions were malicious and arbitrary and were not legal. Jeff advised the Marshal to consult the City Counselor, and if he advised him to take Brock he would give him up at 2 o'clock Tuesday to submit to his punish- ment. Other Marshals were on the lookout for Brock and he was given to underetana eg og ee ceman u mith cut th Gown as quickly as possible. ae Hall, who has an office in the neighbor- hood, was called in and tried all the reme. dies at his command without avai).

Tuesday while the Marshals were watch- ing the corriddrs for Brock that indtvidu- al elipped unobserved in the bu'lding from the Twelfth street side and went os a pri- vate stairway to Mr. Mulvihill’s office. The matter was laid before him and the neglect or disinclination of Assistant Pros- ecuting Attorney Johnson was explained. Mr. ulvihill said the evidence was s0 strong he could do nothing else but issue he warrant. ‘ Shortly after Jeee Peabody took the bench his trouble th the Storts brothers began. He disbarred Jefferson D. from his court, but that attorney would not be disbarred. He carried the matter through the higher courts and in the Court of Ap- als he obtained a mandamus compelling Judae Peabody to permit h'm to practice. Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Johnson said he had refused the warrant peremp- torily. “It is a large question as to how far a Judge can go to preserve order fn his own court,” he said. “I am inclined to think Judge Peabody has not overstep the bounds, and I doubt very much if a conviction will be made. I think I did my duty, and saved the State several] dollars by refusing the warrant. udge Peabody is as complacent as usual. HE does not fear the outcome, but he de- plores the issuance of the warrant. “That an to the ex- official should tent of issuing a warrant against me on the representation of such men as Jeff and Brock Storts ts beyond my comprehension. ‘The number of times that Jeff Storts hes appeared on my docket for disturb- ances of the peace should alone disqualify I have no idea how many times he He was on the docket ere Was BO excuse in my mind for the butterine. | proved unsalable.

The Georgia Doctor Killed a Young Woman and People Wearied of the Law’s Delay. Special to the Post-Dispatch. COLUMBUS, Ga., July 20.—The Coroner's jury is now sitting in inquest over the body of Dr. W. L. Ryder, who was taken. from officers yesterday evening and lynched. The immediate cause of the lynching was the playing of the lawyers with the court. Ryder belonged to a family of great prom- inence. He was paying addresses to Miss Owens, daughter of a leading Talbot County planter, and not being favorably received he shot her down as she stood in her parior in a circle of friends, the murderer standing outside and taking aim through a window. He was tried and found guilty, when his lawyers resorted to the numerous delays which Georgia law admits of. When the case was called yesterday the attorneys for the defense moved for another continuance, alleging that 49 out of 62 wit- nesses were absent. The transparent fraud of his plea, which the court had to accept, go outraged the people that they took the case in hand with the result known. GREEN 1S GONE.

Shot by Guerrillas in War Time, Re- ported Killed and a Slab Marks the Place. Special to the Post-Dispatch. LA CYGNE, Kan., July 2.—On Jt@y 16 the Assistant Postmaster General appointed A. W. Hall postmaster at the village of Trading Post, this county. The only remark- able thing about this transaction is @Miat according to the War Department records Mr. Hall is dead and the Government has discharged its obligation toward him by placing a tombstone over the place where he is supposed to be buried. The town of Trading Post is within three miles of the Missouri State line. During the war Mr. Hall, then a young man, enlisted In the Union Army and saw considerable irregular service fighting the bushwhackers, who swarmed over the coun- try and terrorized the inhabitants. One day a company of ten soldiers, of whom Hall was one, and an officer, were detailed from a company of scouts to cross the State line and forage for provisions, the Kansas set- tlers having been pillaged until nothing was left. Hardly had they crossed the line be- fore a hundred bushwhackers swooped down upon and captured them. Without a moment's hesitation the captain of the guerrillas ordered their execution. They were taken to the summit of a large mound about a mile west of the line and shot down like dogs. Hall fell with the rest, shot through the head, but did not lose con- sciousness, and heard his executioners dis- cuss the advisability of wasting another round of ammunition. Large numbers of Union men were in the vicinity and the ma- rauders made haste to recrosg the line and seek safety farther east. Hall was found by friends, taken care of and recovered, but. was reported as killed to the War Department. To this day he is known over the country as ““Possum” Hall. His dead comrades were buried about iwo miles from Trading Post and a few years ago the Government erected a slab to mark the graves bearing Mr. Hall's name in addi- tion to those of the dead soldiers. Thus it happens that if the postmaster so desires he can ride out and visit his own grave and read the record of his death. Fatal Bicycle Collision. HOLYOKE. Mass, July %.—F.

Mrs. O’Malley’s Mother Found by a Bright Country Girl Who Reads the Post-Dispatch. After a search of seven days and nights for her aged mother, Mrs. M. O'Malley re- turned to her home at 4644 St. Louls avenue at midnight Monday with a light heart. She had found her mother, Mrs. Kate Mc- Hugh, on a farm near Normandy, and the old lady was looking well and felt better, although she slept in the open air seven nights and was in the bad storm of last Friday morning. Monday afternoon old Mrs. McHugh was e'tting on the lawn in front of the St. Louls avenue house. A few minutes later she was missed and a search begun. Twenty- four hours were spent in scanning the a+ nomen but no trace of her was ound. The Post-Dispatch publiehed the facts re- gercans the disappearance and the next day Mrs. A. G. LaMotte, living at Normandy, saw the article and wrote to Mrs. O’ Malley, telling her she had seen an old an- swering the description of Mrs. McHugh and had given her car fare and breakfast. Mrs. O‘Malley followed this clue five days and found her mother. Mrs. McHugh says that after leavin home she walked out Natural Bridge road, believing that she was on her way to Cin- cinnati and Covington. She walked out to Normandy and a under a hedge fence Monday night. The next morning she applied at the La Motte home for food, but she did not take the car as directed by Mrs. La Motte. Instead she walked out the tracks In the opposite direc- tion. She wandered from farm to farm, but always remained near ° rs. O’ Malley’s search was- made dificult by the fact that in Normandy there are two old, homeless women who wander from house to house begging food. One of them read sto of the disappearance of Mrs. Kate McHugh, and after that wherever she she said she was Kate McHugh, This caused Mrs. O'Malley many false tralls. Each day people out tn the county would write to Mrs. O'Malley telling her they had seen a woman apgwerlns Mrs. Me- Hugh's description. These letters were taken to Mrs. O'Malley, who made her headquarters at Normandy. In the meantime Mrs. McHugh was tramp- ing about the country roads. When she ot hungry she would apply to a farm Rouse for food, but she never asked for She says that when she became tired and the moon had gone down and made her way dark she would lHle down by some fence or in the grass of a pasture or under the eaves of a barn Last Thursday night she went to sleep on the grass at the side of a road leading to a farm—she couldn't remember where—and was awakened at 2 o'clock in the morning by, terrific peals of thunder and a heavy rain, She arose and walked about In the unable to find shelter. At daylight she found a farm where,her clothes were dried and she was given a substantial breakfast. After chasing down all traces of the two old women of Normandy and those of her mother, Mrs. O'Malley was despairing Monday morning when she reached Nor- mandy. But when the car stopped a little gr ran up to her and told her that she had er aged mother out on her father's farm. The little girl met the old lady Sunday afternoon picking flowers in a fleld. The 7k had read of the disappearance of Mrs. cHugh in the Post-Dispatch and felt sure to follow shelter. that this was the missing woman. Ry calling her grandma and promising to take her to her Kate—Mrs. O' Malley—the lass coaxed the old lady to the farm house, where she was kept over night. Mrs. O’ Malley drove out to the farm with the girl and there ehe found her mother, sitting comfortably at a window petting a big striped cat. Mrs. McHugh met , #. daughter as though she had been with her every day and seemed unable to appreciate the sensational character of her own mys- terious disappearance and the work of her daughter in searching for her. She seemed so contented that Mrs. 0’. Malley, after spending the day with her. decided to let her stay in the county for a week or two and enjoy the summer. Accordingly, she took her to the home of a friend in Normandy, where she will re- main until she desires to come back to the city. rs. O'Malley reached home at midnight Monday. She wlll make dally trips to Nor. mandy to see her mother. TALMAGE IS OUT Dissension in His Church at Wash- ington Forces His Retirement. WASHINGTON, D. C., July ®—The Rev.

WETGEAT MAY BE ALIVE a a ALLEGED CLEARING UP OF THE DER MYSTERY, Positive Statement That the Woman Was Seen in New York on May 7. THIS WAS WEARLY A WEEE AFTER HER SENSATIONAL DISAPPEARANCE. Developments Which May Clear Her Husband of the Crime of Wife Murder. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, July 9.—Chijcago’s great murder mystery is exploded, if two New York men are not badly mistaken. They say the wife of Adolph Luetgert. the sausage man, was this city a week after her supposed murder in Chicago on May 1. Again a police judgment of guilty may be proved false and an innocent man may escape prison. The murder with which Luetgert ts charged is one of the most gruesome in history. It is alleged he enticed his wife to his sausage factory, May 1, and after murdering her, placed her body in a vat and destroyed it with powerful acids. The police made a thorough search and claimed to have discovered in one of the vats parts of human bones, shreds of fe- male wearing apparel, two gold rings, some teeth and some hair. The police were confident they had solved a great mystery, one almost equal to the Cronin or Holmes case. Their witnesses knew of unpleasantness between husband and wife, others traced the poor woman to the factory, heard her screama, others found the jewelry in the vat, others recog- nized the same as that of the wife, while others recognized bits of the woman's clothing. : The first back-set was the opinion of Chemist Raise, after a careful examina- tion, that the supposed blood was an ant- - dye and that the hair and bones were ot human. It Was a remarkable fact too that nearly all of Mrs. Luetgert’s relatives firmly be- Heved at the time, and have not changed their opinions, that she is still alive and that when she disappeared she was prac- tically demented. Since Luetgert’s arrest his son Louis and a domestic, Mary Simegling, have positively deciared to Inspector Schaack that the rings never belonged to Mrs. Luetgert. Lawyer Vincent does not hesitate to charge that Schaack had the rings mede for the purpose of convicting the sausage maker of murder. , ; That Mrs. Luetgert was in this city on ow 7 there is apparently conclusive evi- ence. A. W. C. Grotty of No. 14 West One Hun. dred and Fifteenth street formerly lived tn Chicago. He was well acquainted with Mrs. Luetgert. On May 7 Mr. Grotty, accom- anied by Mr. Sulhof and Rudolph Shints- iy of No. &2 Prince street, went to Cook's ticket agency on Broadway. As Mr. Grott rolomelt his companions on the aidewal nee, one, of oes he recognized as rs. etgert. ° and then introduced her to Mr. Sulhof a eee eee Mr. Shintzky. Mr. Grotty, who was then a guest at the Broadw entral H invited Mra. Laet- gert to dine with him. She declined on the Gomes that she was about to leave New ork. Others saw this same woman. Grotty notified the police here and also the ae cused man’s lawyers. Grotty thinks the woman sailed for Europe. en he met her a strange Man was near. RRBELS ROUTED.

WHICH INFLUENCE WILL PREVAIL ASSAIL GULF RATES. -_-- - —_> ———-—- ST. LOUIS SHIPPERS TAKE STEPS AGAINST DISCRIMINATION. WILL PRESENT AN ULTIMATUM. New York’s Big Advantage in the Texas Trade Shown by Facts and Figures. Heroic measures are to be taken by St. Louls dhippers to break down the barrier of discrimination now placed between this mar- ket and Gulf points. The spec'al committee of railroad officials appointed last week as a result of concerted action by the Manufacturers’ Association and the 8t. Louis’ Traffic Bureau is on its way to New York, headed by Vice-President and Genera] Manager B, F. Yoakum of the Frisco. | The committee will hold a. conference Wednesday with representatives of the steamship lines plying between New York and the Gulf points. Mr. Yoakum is armed with an ultimatum and unless the steamship lines consent to a readjustment of their rates on an equitable basis, the Texas roads running out of St. Louls will pursue a well defined policy of retaliation. Every effort was made to keep the exact intentions of the committee, which left St. louis Monday night, a secret, but a Post- Dispatch reporter obtained from an unques- tionable authority an outline of the course the Texas lines wi)! pursue in attempting to overcome the discrimination against St. Louls. The committee will not enter into a long confitence with the steamship lines’ rep- resentatives. It will state St, Louis’ case and submit an alternative. The Post-Dispatch reporter's said: : “Unless the New York proameni lines consent Wednesday to readjust their rates the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, M., K. & T., Frisco tad Inte: national & Great North- ern iines will at once unite in demand ng prepayment of freight charges on all ship- mente into Texas by way of the New York sieamship lines.’’ The discrimination against §8t. Louis which the Texas roads are trying to elimi- nate in the interests of local trade, is so large and so well sustained as to render trade with Texas points almost impossible. it is due to peculiar conditions which make it impracticable to obtain relief through the ordinary processes of freight rate adjustment. Galvesion is the key to the situation and until the rates to that point are revised St. Louis cannot hope to compete with New York. Competition beiween the Mallory end Morgan steamsh'p lines has reduced the freight rate from New York to Galves- ton until it Is now merely nominal, Last Saturday a new line, the Lone Btar, began operations and local shippers regard the outiook with alarm as ‘further competit on gneans further reduction in the all water rates.

Yet to ‘interior Texas Points New York enjoys the | following differentials over St. Louis on shipments carried from St. Louis oy that route: First class, .87; second class, .75; third class, .68; fourth class, .41; fifth class, .36. This means that New York shippers can ship first class freight to interior points for 87ic less a hundred than St. Louisans can ship to the same point via New York; so that St. Louls is effectually barred from taking advantage of the conditions which make freight transportation from New York cheap, | Not content with discriminating against St. Louis on outbound freight, the steamship | lines are actually carrying freight from Gal- York absolutely free of any freight charge. he new Lone Star Line an- nounced last Saturday that it would carry all of the cotton ready for shipment in Galves- ton free of charge to New York and the offer was accepted by many shippers. This gives the jobbers in and around Texas an opportunity to put thelr products on the market in St, Louts territory at a cost of transportation much lower than they would have to pay if they shipped direct to St. Louis by rail. With no steamship charge Texas jobbers oon send their goods to St. Louis at these rates: Ist Class. 24 Class. 34 Class. 4th Class. Sth Clase. 7 .75 8 .41 85 As shown in the tariffs above the same shipments by all rail routes would cost for the five classes, $1.8), $1.13, 97c, %e and 70c. This puts St. Louis in ruinous competition with both New York and Galveston. The steamship lines’ rates are purely aer- bitrary. They are not uner the jurisdic- tion of the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion. Just what the Texas lines will gain by de- manana, Prepayment on freight consigned to them by the steamship lines remains to be seen. Local traffic authorities say that by doing so they can at best only harass the steamship people, and throw obstacles in their way, but think it improbable that such a couse will tend to a readjustment of the rates. There is a possible remedy, which, how- ever, would in the opinion of shippers act as a two-edged sword against St. Louls. This remedy would be found in the reduction of the rail rates from St. Louis to Galveston. The obstacle in the way Is the Texas Tariff Commission, which threatens in event of such reduction to make a_ée correspond- ing reduction in the rates from Texas job- bing points to points in the interior of the Sta@e. This would give Texas jobbers an advantage which St. Louis could not over- come and for that reason an effort is being made to break down the discrimination without disturbing Texas local rates. LOVING'S BIG DEAL. Sells a Texas Ranch and 25,000 Head of Cattle for Half Million Dollars. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, D. C., July %.—‘‘The cat- tle business is booming again in Texas,”’ said M. Dillon, of El Paso. ‘A citizen of our town, George B, Loving, effected a transfer the other day of a ranch on which there are 25,000 head of cattle, for a consideration of $300,000. This is the biggest sale that has been made in a long time and shows the re- vival of confidence in the stock business. Almost any kind of a steer is worth $20 and the prospects are for still better prices. The country lg in splendid condition for cattle, the creeks are full of water, and the grass g00d everywhere. In addition to this the crops are good, and altogether the outlook for prosperity so far as Texas is concerned is satisfactory to all but habitual croakers.”’ Considering Freight Rates. DENVER, Colo., July 2.—The freight men of the Western railroads are holding a secret meeting in this city to consider rates between Denver and Chicago. The fact that the steamship companies run- ning from New York to Galveston have cut rates, Making it cheaper for goods to be shipped from New York to Denver via Galveston, is the main cause of the meet- | ng. - BLOW AT COMBINES. —_----- &>-- ~-—- KANSAS CITY LIVE STOCK TRAD- ERS’ EXCHANGE DISSOLVED. DECISION BY JUDGE PHILIPS. In Sweeping Terms the Exchange Is Forbidden’ to With Trade or to Boycott. Interfere KANSAS CITY, Mo., July 20.—The Trad- ers’ Live Stock Exchange of Kansas City has been knocked out. A decree was re- ceived yesterday at the office of the Clerk of the United States District Court from Judge Philips, in Colorado, dissolving :the Ex- change. The court granted the temporary order asked by J. R. Walker, United States Dis- trict Attorney, restraining the members of the association from operating as a ‘‘com- bine,”’ to be in effect until the final hearing of the case in November. This is the first case of its kind to be taken up in the United States Court, and its ultimate result will affect all similar combines in other cities. A similar case is now pending in the Federal Court at To- ve Ka. The decree granting the temporary in- junction is sweeping in its provisions. No avenue is left open, and no point remains uncovered, apparently, by which it can be evaded. Judge Philips prohibits J. C. Ander- son and the other 142 members of the Ex- change for combining, by contract, agree- ment or understanding, expressed or im- lied, so as by their acts, conduct or words to interfere with, hinder or impede others in shipping, trading or selling live stock. He restrains them from interfering with the freedom of access of others to the ex- change and the enjoyment of its privileges. The officers are enjoined from attempting to enforce-rules 10, 11, 12 and 13, which pre- vent members from trading with non-mem- bers, being in partnership with them and the like, from fining or attempting to fine members for trading or offering to trade with those not in the association. The court also prohibits members from favoring each other over outsiders, and especially from re- fusing to trade with others because they are non-members. The last clause prohibits members from refusing to deal with commission firms which have traded with non-association members. This, it is averred by the op- position, is the vital thrust _at the strong point of the exchange. The association was made possible by boycoting commis- sion men who dealt with others. None cared to be boycotted by 143 traders. The defendants are given until Aug. 20 to answer the bill of complaint filed by Attorney Walker. The Traders’ Live Stock Exchange was organized a year ago, At first the nominal fee of $10 was charged for membership, then $20, and now is asked, Persons who were prevented from trading at the yards made complaint to Mr. alker, and on June 7, 1897, he filed the bill in equity in the case of the Government vs. J. C. Ander- son et al.. to prevent the exchange from doing business and to dissolve it. Argu- ments were heard July 1, and the decision came to-day. The restraining order will robably go into effect at once, as all, counsel for the defendants, doubtless acknowledge service. The action was brought under the Sher- man law of July 2, 189%, which makes it !I- legal for persons to combine in restraint of commerce between the States. It declares persons convicted of doing this to be guilty of a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine not exceeding $5,000 or tye + not more than a year. Should the court hold for the Government, the members of the Traders’ Exchange will be liable to criminal prosecu- would tion, pitnenge such action would be ex- tremely unlikely. [ESS; IN THR.-SENATE NOW. - —_ THE TARIFF BILL SENT OVER FROM THE HOUSE. THE CONFERENCE REPORT. Senate Informed of the House Action and the Final Struggle Is Inaugurated. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 20.—The tariff Struggle was removed to the Senate to- } day, but there was Httle evidence of an ex- citing “contest when the gession opened. Several of the Senators who have been absent from the city were back again an- ticipating that every vote might be needed. The gallery attendance was greater than usual, although there was no crowd. On the desk before Mr. Allison (Iowa), in charge of the tariff bill, was the ponderous manu- script of the tariff conference report. Immediately after the prayer a message from the House announced’ the agreement of that body to the conference report. Con- siderable routine buginess waa disposed of before the tariff report was -called up. The Vice-President announced in response to an inquiry by Mr. Allen of Nebraska, that the pending. Union Pacific. resolution was the unfinished; business. and would come up at 2 p. m.. Bnlese displaced. This drew from . Morgan a statement as to the purpose to have full discussion of the pending question. It was intended, he said, to discuss the*tariff report in all its political, financial and historical bearings. Aside from this it was proposed to secure consideration for the Union. Pacific resolu- tion, either by itself or during the tariff debate if this became essential. It was not n orderly practice, but, said Mr. Morgan, yhen men were tied up and lashed over the back they were not disposed to stand on the niceties of procedure. It was more im- ortant, he said, to save $50,000,000 by the Inion Pacific resolution than to pass the tariff bill.’ Mr. Allison suggested that there was no disposition to cut off all reasonable consid- eration of the report. It was too important, however, to give way to other questions which might be brought forward. acan conference report was then read in etaill. When the first clause was read, Mr. Jones of Arkansas made an earnest protest against proceeding on the technical report without an intelligent explanation of its meaning. There had been no opportunity for the Democratic conferees to consider it in committee. It had been rushed through the House in a single day, without time for preperation to discuss it there. It was ue the American people, he declared, that some explanation be given. The reading of the lengthy conference report then proceeded rapidly. There were frequent inquiries by Mr. Jones and brief explanations from Mr. Allison, but these did not cause material delay. Seven pages of the printed report, covering thirty-eight pages of the bill, were disposed of in the rst half hour. When the item of window glass was reached Mr. Jones read a telegram just re- ceived from the leading window glass deal- ers of New York, saying the restoration of the Dingley rate would place a duty equiva- lent to 140 per cent on this article, which would be prohibitory and would stop all revenue from this source. . The lumber amendments led to animated debate. Mr. Teller and Mr. Vest contended that the $2 rate on white pine and the re- talilatory clause against Canadian logs in effect permitted a. double tax. Mr. Teller declared that the whole thing was con- ceived in the interest of a few mill men of Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin, by which they would be enabled to raise the price of pine $3 to $4 per thousand. RUSHED THROUGH THE HOUSE. The Tariff Bill Passed by a Solid Re- publican Vote. WASHINGTON, D. C., July ®.—The House passed the tariff bill last night and took a recess till Wednesday. The report of the Conference Committee was adopted by a vote of. 185 yeas to 118 nays. An analysis showed that 180 Republicans and five Democrats voted tn the affirmative and 106 Democrats and twelve Populists in the negative. The Democrats, with five exceptions, vot- ed against the report. The exceptions were Slayden, of Texas: Broussard, of Loulsiana; Meyer, of Louisi- ana; Davey, of Louisiana, and Kleberg, of xas. The Populists and silverites did not vote solidly. Mr. Shafroth of Colorado and Newlands of Nevada, silverites, abstained from voting. Mr. Hartman, silverite, of Montana, did not vote. The Populists who voted against the re- ort were ag follows: Baker, Barlow, Bot- Rin, Fowler, Jett, Lewis, Marshall, Martin. Peters, Simpson, Strowd and Vincent. Four did not vote—Howard, Kelly, Stark and Southerland. The other Populists were ab- sent. CURRENCY COMMISSION. Message to Be Delayed Till the Tariff ’ Bill Is Passed. WASHINGTON, July 23.—It ts semi-offi- cially announced to-day that President Mc- Kinley will withhold his currency message until after the conference report on the tariff bill has been adopted by the Senate. The Republican leaders in the Senate do not desire to have any new question thrown into the Senate while the debate ie on, lest it may lead to complications and delays. It is in deference to the!r opinions and wishes that the President has postponed sending the message to Congrese. He is of course as anxious as any of them can be to have the bill become a law at the earliest pos- sible moment and as soon as the bill is out of the way the currency message will be sent to Congress. Locomotive Firem@n., CINCINNATI, O., July 2.—The Brother- hood of Locomotive Firemen began a three daye’ meeting here to-day. This meeting will have a collateral attendance of the kin- dred Drotherhoods and orders of railway en- gineers, conductors, switchmen and train- men. OH, LET US BE JOYFUL! — SUGAR ON THE BOUND. —_— — HEAVY DEMAND AND AWN up- | TURN OF 3 1-8 PER CENT. WALL STREET AND WASHINGTON THEIR CLOSE RELATIONS NEVER MORE APPARENT THAN NOW. The Gourse of the Market Shows That the Trust Is Doing Business at the Old Stand. NEW YORK, July 20.—The stock market opened with some hesitancy, due to the low range of values in London;and manipula- tion In the specialties. Sugar was in large demand and on heavy purchases rose 3% pér cent to 144%. The Industrials gener- ally displayed a decidedly firm tone, but the quotations for standard shares were generally a shade lower. The course of the market is direct evidence that the Sugar Trust has suffered much less by the change in the tariff schedule than was at first sup- posed. The advantage gained by refiners is mainly fn the low tax put upon low grades and the high tax en the high grades. It is significant that the tariff bill provides for an additional duty on sugar that is equivalent to the amount of export bounty made. The close connection between Wall street and Washington was never made more ap- parent than in the tae > in ~ oe stock. Later the market develop a decided tone and ran off under the pressure of realization and short sales by traders. The Industrials suffered most severely, Sugar be- ing forced down to 143. Tobacco lost 1% and Lead a point. The fluctuations tn the railways were unusually narrow with busi- ness generally centered in the grangers and South westerns. Business subsided con- siderably after the opening dealings, but ex- hibited a better tone toward the expiration of the hour. The_ bulls took hold of the market with considerable vigar after 11 o’clock and ad- vanced prices to the best figure of the morn- ing. Sugar was marked up to 146%, with a jump from 145 to 146 occurring on a pur- chase of 1,000 shares. The top level invited extens.ve realigations in the etock, which receded to 14%. The Reading shares as- sumed prominence in the speculation, the first preferred advancing to over on heavy buying. The industrials generally exhibited more buoyancy than the railways w'th some of the lower-priced stocke Repinvine anima- tion. The constant receipt of encouraging crop advices and reports from grain short- ages :n European provinces stimulated good buying of the grangers, which, however moved only fractionally.

CHICAGO, July 0.—The rumor circulated for some time to the effect that Pills- bury, the big Minneapolis miller, was at- tempting te run a corner in the Chicago wheat market was revived again to-day; but Chicago traders place no credence in the report and say the market gives no indications of a corner.

He undoubtedly controls consider- ably over half of the wheat in the North- west to-day but has no interests tn the Chi-’ cago pit.” Wheat was buoyant to-day. The bulls were encouraged at the opening by an ad- vance at Liverpool of i1din September wheat. The continental cables were not quite so encouraging, but a fair short in- terest which has been accumulating durimg the past week gave the bull crowd much the better of the argument.

George Bureet of 3114 Shenandoah avenue, a teamster for the Smith & Bro.

His left hip was disiocated by the fal) from the wagon. He was taken to his home im an ambulance. Having succeeded at O’Fallon and Ben- netta, the army of striking coal miners who are marching from town to town in IIlt- nois persuading other men to quit work started for Belleville at 2 p. m. Tuesday. They will arrive about sundown. The people of O'Fallon provided nine wag- ons to convey the army as far as the Leb- anon rock road, four miles from Belleville. As many as could get in the wagons rode and the others walked. Bradley's army invaded O'Fallon at dusk Monday. The town capitulated without a struggie. The miners struck without being asked. The travelers were heartily wel- comed and treated as friends. At 3:30 in the afternoon the column was formed in Bohemian Park at Colli:eville. Twenty picked men were sent off to Troy, seven miles eastward, to call out the men there and get reinforcements. The comrades watched them trudge away, the order was given and silently and with- out any demonstration the main column struck the Belleville road and Collinsville was soon lost to sight. Nobody looked back from the crest of the ridge. Nobody was sorry to leave. The army had encountered a distinct ‘‘frost’’ in the town. The business people were inhospitable. The miners who were well disposed were so completely cowed by the Consolidated Coal] Co. that they did not dare manifest their friendliness. A good many were hostile to the Staunton men on account of past events and came out sul- lenly because they had to. The men went away depressed by the ap- prehension that the town would yet be the scene of trouble and maybe bloodshed. “IT am not half so concerned abont Belle- ville as I am about Collinsville,”’ said one of the most intelligent men as he struggied along through the mud. “I believe those men will go back in three or four days. If they do, and we have’to come back here, there will be trouble. We will go to the pits with clubs.”’ The heavy rain which fell at noon had cooled the atmosphere, but left the clay road a quagmire. There was no attempt to preserve the column. It was a free-for- all scramble for O'Fallon, nine muddy miles away. Up hill and down the men floundered along, preserving the cheerfulness which its the most remarkable thing in this remark- able pilgrimage. Not a complaint was ut- tered. he difficulties of the march added to its zest. Good natured chaffing was con- tinuous. There was no lowering of the standard of behavior. Nena was pilfered. The black- berry bushes along the highway were stripped and a sharp watch was kept for other wild fruit, but no farmer had need to guard his orchards. Two miles from Collinsv'tle there stands a spreading mulberry tree beside. the road. Its branches were bending with ripe fruit. The army stopped there half an hour. Young men clambered up and shook the branches, The overripe berries fell in show- ers. The old men picked them up. Stomachs used to half fare were filled. The men plodded on. Half of them took off their shoes and rolled up their trousers. The mud was in some places six inches deep. The mules had their innings a little further on when a farmer brought them out a big basket of corn. At Alma, the mining hamlet two miles west of O'Fallon, the women and children turned out and gave the pilgrims an ova- tion, They waved their hands and cheered and shouted CROSUTA EAR onmonstiams, All the men had gone to O’Falion in anticipa- tion of the arrival of the army. At the edge of O'Fallon children ran out, waving fase. i was a forecast of the friendly spirit of the people. The column marched through the rincipal streete everywhere met with cordial greetings, an pescee penens the historic big elm near the generations of miners have met and dis- cussed plans for bettering their condition. A liveryman offered to shelter the mules and “feed them full."" They were un- hitched and led away. As the gun sank from sight the tired men set on the damp earth and ate their supper of bread, sausage and cheese. Before they were through the O'Fallon men began to gather. They did not have to be drummed up. ey did not even wait to hear one of Gen. Bradley's speeches. They withdrew a few paces and in the gathering gloom held a meeting. Albert Yaeger was elected chairman. “Ready to come out,”’ reported Alma. “Been read for two weeks,’ said a man from Taylor’s. “It won't take a crowd to keep ‘em out,”” was the news from Mentor. "Move we join the strike,’ sheuted an im- patient man. “All in favor of that raise your right hand,” said the chairman. All the rights and a good many lefts were raised. About 150 men left their pit clothes on the pegs Tuesday morning. A request was received from Joe Taylor that his men be hey phe to mine enough coal to keep the Tredemann flour mill and the electric light power-house running. The request was tg on on condition that none of the coal loaded on cars for fear of the railroad confiscating It, and that the scale, 35 cents, be paid. A committee was called for to solicie funds and provisions. Several volunteered and started out at once. The chairman urged all who could to go to with the vis- itors to Belleville. James Holliday, a member of the Village Board, was ask f the men could sieep in the Town Hall. He hunted up Mayor William Lehman and got his congent. ar- shal Jacob Bernhardt was sent to conduct them to the hall. A few, more exhausted than the rest, tm- mediately removed their shoes and, making pillows of thelr coats, lay down on the waxed floors. A few read the dally papers and wrote letters. The others stood about tn groups fer a while discussing the Incidents of the day. They, too, came in soon and at midnight the only sleeping space left was on the ledae of the little stage. The doors and windows were left wide open and the air Was measurable pure. The men were tired out. After their eyes were closed they never setirr until the Marshal roused them at 6 o'cli*. It had been arranged to sen irty men four miles up the railroad to Sennett'’s mine. About thirty-five Itallans are em- ployed there. They had said they would not quit work and irouble was expected. Tne O'Fallon men-again did the handsome thing by providing two busses for the trip. At 5:30 the start was made. The distance around by the road was five miles. When they arrived the Italians were waiting at the pit mouth for the strikers. @ expected trouble did not occur. The forty Bennett men held a meeting and quit work. They promised to change their clothes and join the march to Bellevtile The strikers returned to O'Fallon at 8:39 singing jubliantly. As soon as the men returned from Ben- nett’s breakfast was eaten under the bie tree and preparations were made for the maroh to Belleville.

Dealers Say They Have No Fear of a Coal Famine. The strike at the Collinsville mines had not begun to have its effect on the local trade Tuesday morhing. Dealers were still busy assuring cus- tomers that all contracts would be kept, and that orders would be filled at the prices which prevailed before the strike. dealers do not deny that &@ con- lockout in the Collinsville region would eventually call for an advance in vie in St. Louls, but they profess to be- leve that the miners will go to work soon. sib iit them sal of «a Shey will not admit the coal fa te #& mine.

Mayor Ziegenhein’s passing of Mr. D. C. Ball to appoint Mr. John Shroers of the Anzeiger des Westens to the vacancy in the Board of Education will generally be approved by citizens who know the cir- cumstances and have the interests of the public school system at heart. Mr. Ball forfeited all claim to the office when he deliberately abandoned it by failing to qualify within the period of time fixed by law for that duty. Wheth- er his failure to qualify was caused by ignorance, indifference or mere careless- ness, the evidence of unfitness was suffi- cient to counteract the popular indorse- ment of his candidacy given at the polls previous to the act of dereliction. Under any other circumstances the choice of the people should have been the guide of the chief executive, Mr. Shroers is a business man of ex- cellent character and ability. He is a Democrat and in this respect the will of the people with regard to the political complexion of the Board is respected. Mayor Ziegenhein’s course has been open to criticism at many points, but not in this matter. —— ~— oer A careful examination by the Post-Dis- patch bugologist shows that the bacillus of consumption, which is absorbing the city’s funds, and the microbe known as the Filleyite are identical. ——-————- a _ oe JUDGE PHILLIPS’ DECISION. In granting a restraining order against the Traders’ Live Stock Exchange of Kansas City, Judge Phillips of the United States District Court, pronounced the most sweeping anti-trust decision that has yet been recorded. Several points of vital importance on the subject of trusts and combines within the borders of one State are passed upon in the injunction order, and it is fair to assume that the conclusions therein stated will govern the final decision of the case. Judge Phillips bases his decision upon the Sherman anti-trust law. Under this law he prohibits the members of the Ex- change from combining by compact, agreement or understanding, expressed or implied, to hinder or impede the shipping, trading or selling of live stock. He pro- hibits the enforcement of any rules of the Exchange which discriminate against non-members or commission firms trading with outsiders. Members are even pro- hibited from favoring in trade fellow- members over outsiders. If the decision holds, the effect will be to dissolve all such combines in the State. Following the railway traffic association decision, this denouncement of cattle com- bines is encouraging. It shows that, faulty as the Sherman law is, much can be done under it by vigorous prosecution, to smash the trusts. = et Giant Reed's encounter with the Sugar Trust monster resulted in quite a victory for the Giant; he escaped with his life, LEGALIZING BARBARISM. If the ruling of Judge Falconer in the Harris case is allowed to stand the right of private Vengeance is recognized by the law and the courts of Kentucky. Judge Falconer declared from the bench that the unwritten law of the coun- try permits a man to slay the despoiller of his home, It is true that juries are lenient toward men who take the law in their hands in such cases. It may be said with as much truth that it is the unwritten law that men guilty of crimes against women are to be lynched. But the taking of the law tn their own hands and the wreaking of vengeance by individuals and mobs represent the fail- ure of law and civilization. The leniency of juries on account of sentimental mo- tives, when the law has been violated, Is @ defeat of justice. Civilization demands that wrongs be righted by process of law. It denies the rigitt of oné man or a mob of men to act aa court, jury and executioner. The de- and and denial are based upon order Justice, and in so far as a community true standard of civilization and reverts towards barbarism. Judge Falconer’s ruling gives the faltl- ure of law, the defeat of justice, the col- lapse of civilization under the unre- strained impulses of passion, the force of a statute. In short, it legalizes barbar- ism. aD —-. —_ - The new Senator from Tennessee, Thomas B. Turley, has never before held an office of any kind.

The St. Louls Ratlroad Company, which owns and operates the Broadway cable line, is seeking a charter to extend its route over four miles beyond its present southern terminus, But it does not propose to pay the city a cent for the privilege. For the franchise which it now holds, and from the earnings of which it pays interest on $2,000,000 worth of bonds, and dividends on $2,000,000 worth of stock, it pays the city only $5,000 annually. It pays only a little more than $12,000 in assessed taxes on an actual investment of nearly a million and a half dollars. What it now proposes is to make an ex- fension which will vastly increase its earning capactty, without paying a dol- lar more to the people for the use of the streets. The charter grant it asks for will be worth millions to the company. The city will get nothing for the grant. Will the members of the Municipal Assembly give away millions for nothing? —_" —— Bureglars have been going through the Milwaukee City Hall. The Milwaukee City Hall must be quite different from any other City Hall if anything has been left in it for burglars. A NEW TRICK IN POLITICS. John Caskey of Kansas City, a candl- date for County Treasurer, has made a new departure in electioneering. He has, without solicitation, promised to give his entire official salary to one of the churches of that place. Heretofore the only way the church has been able to attract a candidate’s atten- tion has been through making him a can- didate for a gold-headed cane or an entry in the race after the elusive oyster in the soup. The candidate has always had to be dragged into the church by the neck and heels. If a candidate for any public office should announce that in the event of his election his entire salary would be do- nated tu vne saloon his doom would be sealed. “The boys” who patronize the other saloons would combine against him. . There are politicians in Kansas City who claim that that is what will happen in the churches. The argument that all the churches are one church in the evan- gelistic sense is laughed to scorn by “the boys,”’ who cynically claim that every- body is “out for the stuff.” The entire country will watch the fate of Caskey and his political experiment. i i A ed Jerry Simpson wants to know how the House can suspend business when it has never commenced doing business.

This curious skeleton was found itn Japan, Excavations were in progrese for a road when this odd find was made. It was immediately purchased by Mr. Carl Brandmuller of Dassel, Hanover, Ger- many. In the same excavation were two other ekulls simi- lar to the one on this skeleton, some other bones and a parchment with Japanese writing. Experts to whom the parchment was shown declared that it was of great age, and that the charac- ters in which the document was written and the construction of it had not been ueed for centuries. The skeleton is 2% meters tall, Mand ts partly cov- ered with a skin of animal origin. Part of the skin was taken off by the owner to dem- onstrate that ev- ery part of the skeleton wae real- ly of bone. The skull ts very remarkable. It has two small horns, immense ’ ay rt jaws and front a teeth that work ALL SHAT I8 LE? T. into each other. The breast bone is of immense size. . The hands have three fingers or, rather, claws, and so have the feet. It looks as if the | 8kin had been wrapped around the bones to hold them together. It may be that the whole was made up of bones of various animals or human bones, but no sign that the skin hae been put together can be found. One theory in regard to the re- markable skeleton is that it was construct- ed to show to the people after some great national calamity, to persuade them that ‘the devil, who had sent it, was dead. At any rate, it is immensely interesting in showing the ancient Japanese knowledge of anatomy. THE CLOCK OF THE FUTURE, x 4) The future clock will have a face or dial, but no hands.

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. It may be all right for I would very much like to know why our streets and alleys are not cleaned? An al ley in my neighborhood ts in a condition al-~ most indescribable. If we have any sani- tary officers they surely don't take the time and trouble to see these things, or they must have peculiar ideas of what is con- ducive to health. BE. B. W. St. Louls, July 19. Exasperating Car Service. To the Fdttor of the Post-Dispatch. On Sunday afternoon the Lindell Rallway Company seems to run one car out to Skink- er Road for every two cars that come in from Kirkwood. The result is that a big orowd, exasperated through waiting in the hot sun, tries to board every car returning to the oity. More than half of them are left behind each time, every car going into’ the city for «@ couple of hours being crowded to the utmost with the strongest and most brutal, hang- ing on as best they may on platforms and steps. A number of other passengers got tired of this disgraceful state of things Sunday even. ing and started to walk back to the city. Is the company ignorant of this, or is it careless of the needs of its customers? . St. Louls, July 19. ; W. M. H. The Mullanphy Bank Wreck, To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Fifteen hundred dollars to appraise a half dozen Mullanphy Bank properties, that in all probability did not take more than a day, is getting away with the remaimming funds at a rate that makes a depositor feel that what the directors failed to misappropriate others have no hesitancy in grabbing. St. Louis, July 18. How to Have Clean Streets, To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Why cannot the Fire Department be weed in the sanitary cleaning of the streets? There are streets and alleys all over the city that might be ecraped and scraped (though they mever are) for weeks at a time, but they would be still breeders of pestilence. Now these places could be made as clean and healthy as the asphalt paved portion of Locust street by the application of water, and there is no way to apply this water so well as witha fire engine. This is regularly done in Europe, where even the soldiery is called on for such duty. St. Louis, July 164 CLEAN STREETS, Disgusted With the Spitters. | To the Editor of Post-Diapatch.

BEATING THE BOOKIES REGULARS AT THE TRACK SEEM TO LIKE THE GAME, ooo BENNETT'S BOOK CLOSED UP. ————p BUT IT IS ONLY DURING THE MEMPHIS MAN’S ABSENCE. Only Two Layers of the Odds Said to Be as Good as Even During This Meeting. The fact that George Bennett’s book is now not on the line in the betting shed at the Fair Grounds has caused no little comment, and many stories are going’ the rounds. The widest circulated of these is that Bennett's book has dropped so much money during the present meeting that the Mem- phis turfman and bookmaker scorched ‘his fingers and has laid up for repairs. Bennett ison one of his periodical business trips to Memphis, where he has a house, a farm and a pool room. He has been gone about a week, and during his absence the book was left In charge of Heddick, his block man. As luck would have it the book struck two or three losing days, and when Bennett re- ceived the news he telegraphed back to his men to lock up the bank roll and post no odds, It is said the book will draw in again as #00n as Bennett returns from the South, It is generally admitted by the bookmakers that he is the heaviest loser in his book of all the regulars who have been on continu- ously since the meeting began, but they say he is too solid and too well fixed to be very much damaged the play he has been getting at the Fair Grounds. It is generally conceded that for the book- makers this has been the most disastrous eason they ever bad at the Fair Grounds. Until two weeks ago the favorites won with fHlarming regularity, and since then most of the races have gone to the second choices, but in almost every instance the books paid out more money on these second choices than would have been the case had the fa- vorites won. Two or three of the books that were on the line at the beginning of the meeting have disappeared. Not more than two of the others are as good as even with the ame, and those, it is said, are St. Louis ookmakers who have better»facilities for Setting inside information. Notes From the Tracks. The directors of the Kansas City Assoctia- tion have decided to extend the present meeting thirty days, closing Aug, 25 Col. Bob Aull, general manager at the Fair Grounds, went over to Cincinnat! Mon- day night to attend the Turf Congress meet- ing In that city. At this meeting the status of Harlem will be established. Tom Ryan intends to leave the Fair Grounds shortiy and will race during the summer meeting at Saratoga, where he will shi Howard §8., Good Friend, My riend, Our Friend, Don't Skip Me and the Others of his string. He recently sold Don Fulano and Lela’s Cuckoo. Col, Jack Chinn of Harrodsburg, Ky., took the flag and the gate button Monday and will handle them for a week, while his son, Kit Chinn, is off on his vacation. He was the starter at Kast St. Louis several years gO, has had much experience with orses and their riders at the gate. rt Oakley management has @6ne away with the Paris mutuals. The machines cut wh much into the graft of the bookmakers. he mutuals have been tried on nearly all the American race tracks and have failed to gain lasting popularity, although it is the eyenest and fairest betting system ever de- vised, Notwithstanding the figures of the form book, which made Xalissa the favorite in the sixth race Monday, Loving Cup was the @0od thing and no bookmaker had any li- cense to lay 10 to 1 against the filly. She won by a nose, but the result would prob- gbly have been different had Huffman’s alissa been given a good ride by War- ren, of Montgomery fame. Britton, Huff- man's colored jockey, is with the horses at akiey. Warren does not fill his place. Winners on the various tracks Monday. were: At St. Joe Hart, Timemaker, Oup.

If he wins a few more races in bang up od time the bookm&kers may finally get t through their heads that Brewer Schorr’s colt Timemaker is a race horse. No starter nh races at the Fair Grounds ever had mere iberal odds laid than the bookmakers put gseinst Timemaker. He won July 6, July _ July 10, July 17 and July 19, beating some of the best horses at the track at distances up to a mile, which he ran in 1:40%, yet he has never started at odds of less than even money laid against him.

One reason for the increased at- tendance was the beginning of Helen Ber- tram’s engagement with the Boston Lyric Stock Company. Mise Bertram ts popular in St. Louis, and with reason, for she is a notably capable comic opera prima donna, and is conscientious in her work. The title role in “Erminie”’ is a favorite with her. It suits her refined beauty, and there is a note of tenderness in it that she brings out as effectively as though the author had her temperamental chord in mind when he wrote it. Sprightly as Miss Bertram can be when her art demands it there ig in her voice a suggestion of sadness. It is never oppres- sive, but is nearly always noticeable. Miss Rertram has changed very little since she was here two years ago. She Sang and acted last night with her habitual good taste and success. The audience applauded enthusiastically and some handsome flowers were passed over the foot lights to the new prima donna. Other additions to the com- pany were Frank Wooley and Carrie God- frey. Mr. Wooley in the low comedy role, Cadeaux, did some of the lowest low comedy ever seen. He is comical, but he can’t sing. Miss Godfrey was the Princess, Hattie Belle Ladd being too ill to appear. Miss Lane was a chic and pleasing Javotte, Mr. Murray was a handsome but awkward Ra- vannes, Mr. Temple was a success as Eu- gene, Mr. Clarke was an efficient Marquis and Mr. Reed was amusing as the Chevalier. The performance did not run as smoothly as performances by this company usually do, but that was because some members of the cast were somewhat rusty in their lines. Manager Gumipertz of the Imperial Thea- ter—formerly the Hagan—has just closed a deal with the following New York managers whereby he will have the exclusive right for services of their modern plays: Augustus Pitou, Augustin Daly, Charlies Frohman, T. Henry French and Bronson Howard, Beau- mont Smith has been engaged as stage manager for the Impertal, and is in New York representing the theater. A new class of entertainment was intro- duced to the amusement seekers last night at the Grectan Pavilion, King’s highway and Lindell boulevard. It was the first of ® series of vocal and instrumental concerts. which are to be given nightly at this at- tractive resort. Many who attended ¢x- pected to see the class of entertainment generally seen at summer gardens, but in that respect were disappointed, as the programme was made up of quartettes and solos, with instrumental: selections by the Olympic Theater orchestra. Another pointy of difference between this resort and others is that no drinks are sold except those that the W. C. T. U. could not object to.

WHIPPING POST REVIVED. With Charity Commissioners and La dies of the Humanity Club Away, Cruelty Revives at the Jail. —————— If Jailer Wagner were to drop dead Mayor Ziegenhein would not require official noti- fication of the fact before appointing one of the ‘“‘push”’ as his successor. When a prisoner ia the City Jall({s hand- cuffed, strung up by his wrists, stripped, lashed and left hanging until the drawn blood congeals on his raw flesh, the Mayor, whose sworn duty it is to see that the or- dinances are enforced and the city decor- ously governed, shrugs his shoulders and says: “I have not been officially notified.” Jailer Wagner does not deny that prisoners ate whipped in the jail. He will not notify the Mayor ornernns The Board of Charity Commissioners, who have supervision over the jail, wili not notify the Mayor because hairman Gustave Cramer and three members of that body are out of the city. Meanwhile Jailer ‘“‘Butch’”’ Wagner can ply the whip, string prisoners up by the thumbs and revive any form of mediaeval torture until his watchers, the Board of Charity Commissioners, and their watchers, the la- dies of the Humanity Club, return from summer vacations. The Mayor has full power over the jailer and can investigate or remove him at will, but he will not take the initiative. “‘Butch’’ Wagner is a member of Filley’s push. He is immune from investigation up to the limit of public endurance. Willam Waters, a jail prisoner, charged with highway robbery and larceny, has not been a favorite with the jail guards be- oeuee he had no money to pay for privi- eres. On July 7 he was standing at the screen with another prisoner who was talking toa sister. William Niestrath, the dude burglar, was at the screen talking to his sister. Wa- ters’ friend used offensive language and Niestrath hit him. Waters mixed in the melee and was struck by Willlam Moebus, He knocked him down. The guards inter- fered and put Waters in the dungeon. On the way to the dark cell Waters re- marked that if he had money to pay the guards he wouldn’t be molested, The guard retorted with a blow and Waters struck back. After his night in the dungeon, Waters met Moebus. jot words passed, and again Waters knocked his man down. He was dragged back to the dungeon, “Buck” Hardy and two other guards fol- lowed shortly after. They carried two proces of rope and a pair of handcuffs. “he shackles were locked on his wrists. The rope Was passed under the chain and through a ring in the ceiling. When he was drawn up until his toes just touched the floor, “Buck” Hardy tore off his shirt and lashed him with the rope, Women prisoners saw the preparations for the Nogging and their howls put a sudden end to the punishment. This is the story told b Wagner Was told of it Monday afternoon and said he would investigate. He ad- mitted that flogging was practiced in the “i.

FLIMFLAMMED THE ARABS. Franklin P. Kuntz Arrested for Get- ting Money by Playing Detective Franklin P. Kuntz is in prison for im- personating an officer. Kuntz, according to the police, has for several weeks been extorting money from the residents of the Arabian colony at Sec- ond and Poplar streets. He told them he was doing detective work along Second street and around their homes, After he guaranteed them protection against thieves, it is said, he made frequent demands upon them for small sums and supplied himself with tobacco and cigars at their expense. The Arabians suspected that he was aj frayd and they complained to the police. Patrolman Shannon found Kuntz in the rear of 213 South Second street Monday evening. Kuntz had been making his home there since July 1, when he first appeared in the neighborhood. He had a little tin star on his suspender, and he claimed that he was co-operating with the regular police in suppressing crime on Second street Kuntz is 27 years old and came here from Philadelphia, he says, about two months ago. $5.00 Excursion, Cincinnat{ or Louisville and return via the B. & O.

Mrs. Helen Ream of 4271A St. Ferdinand avenue, who was admitted to the City Hos- pital July 9 suffering from mental! disorder, will be released from that institution Tues- day, only to be transferred to the Insane Asylum. The transfer will be made with the full consent of her husband. Mrs. Ream’s dementia assumes violent form at times, and finds vent in destroying household furnishings, crockery, bric-a- brac, etc., and‘ in threatening the life of her husband, C. L. Ream. The property and persons of her immediate neighborhood are not immune from her attacks, and dur- ing the short term of her residence on St. Ferdinand avenue she has terrorized the neighborhood. In consequence, when the neighbors heard on Monday that Mrs. Ream was to be re- leased from the City Hospital as cured, and allowed to return home, they held a conference and determined to vigorously protest against this move. Mr. Ream was consulted, and he agreed to recommend his wife's transfer to the Insane Asylum. A delegation of residents of the vicinity, headed by Mrs. Clara Harless of 4273 St. Ferdinand avenue, called upon Dr. Sutter Monday night on this errand. After hear- ing their story, and learning that Mrs. Ream had been previously incarcerated in St. Vincent's Asy!um, Dr. Sutter decided to order the patient's removal to the Insane SS a ——_—————_———- —————_—__—— Royal makes the food pure, wholesome and delicious, $0.00 CINCINNATI = | LOUISVILLE «o RETURN TO-MORROW VIA B.&0O.S.-W.RY.

Of course the boy replied in the affirma- tive. He is a bright-looking youngster and he was employed as bell boy. It was his first experience in hotel work. All day Monday he was on the alert for something to do. He acted on the principle that whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well. So anxious was he to please that on Tuesday morning—his second day— Wf si), #4 6 he Vif Mw’, ys EDWIN O'CONNELL he reached the hotel at 6 o’clock—an hour earlier than he was expected. ‘Take this call card,”’ said the night clerk to the new bell boy, “and make the rounds. The clerk was not aware that the boy had never heard of a call card. On the card were the numbers of three or four rooms, the occupants of which had left a call for 5:3) o'clock, Others on the card had left calls at various hours, ranging all the wey from 7 o'clock until noon. But the new bell boy made no distinction, He pounded vigetonm on the door of every gieeping room in the house. He awoke everybody. The proprietor of the house was no exception. a “Hark ye, it’s time t’ get up!"’ the boy roared as he went from door to door. Jaded travelers who had planned for a lon sleep turned over in bed and murmu curses on the luck, but the new bellboy continued hig call. The result of his indiscriminate industry was that every one of. the 104 people in the house rushed down-stairs into the hotel office. Some of them were excited.

ANOTHER DELAY IN THE CLARE AVENUE BRIDGE. ENGINEERS GIVEN A MONTH. Terminal Association Ready With An- other Excuse for Postponing the Work. It will be a red letter day in St. Louls when the Terminal Association voluntarily or perforce commences work on the long- promised Clark avenue bridge. It was quite two decades ago when Jay Gould personally and, through his adept agents, laid the pane to secure from the City Council of St. Louis the magnificent age ny that are new enjoyed by his heirs, alias the St. Louis Railway Terminal Asso- clation. A part, an integra] part on the citizens’ side, was an agreement by the Railroad Ter- minal Association that it would pay $150,000 toward the construction of a bridge over Clark avenue,. from Eighteenth to Twen- tieth streets. There has not been a month nor year since that the oity of St. Louis was not. art on the Clark avenue | bridge, nor has there been a day when the | | gon. ready to do ita Terminal Association was not ready with an excuse for not proceeding with its part of the contract. The Board of Public Works has, by ordinance, declared that the bridge shall be built, and has stood ready to stake out the bounds, etc., but the Terminal As- sociation was not ready. The association has insisted on technical points to the exasperation of the board and taxpayers interested, and on that line it has gained and continues to gain time. The Board of Public Improvements has said the Clark avenue bridge shall be built without further delay., The Terminal Association is not ready and has prolific excuses, Tuesday was the day fixed for a final dis- position of the matter so far as the Board of Public Improvements was concerned. To the surprise of the experienced engineers of the board there appeared a young man named N. W. Eyers who said he was en- gineer for the Terminal Company. He was! granted a hearing and said that the whole matter was new to him; that he had no time to investigate it, but was sure his com- pany wanted to do the proper thing, and asked for time, a mont if possible, for him to investigate and then he would be ready to act. The time was granted and Mr. Byers will submit his proposition. A Petition for Babcock.

He says that especially in the Work- house ten prisoners are crowded into cells that cannot comfortably accommodate more than four persons, and declares that it is a crime for any municipalty to torture human beings to such an extent.

Balch Is a familiar figure to the guardians of the peace in the park, he having con- ducted a campaign of blackmail within its confines for several years before he came to grief. His method was to spy upon ardent couples in the park, and, by representing himself ag an officer, force them to pay him tribute. Many young couples who were innocent submitted to the blackmafier’s demands rather than be subjected to the humiliation and notoriety of arrest. In 1894 Balch overreached himself when he took a gold watch from Thomas Carey, whom he “arrested” in the park in his sweetheart’s company. Carey, conscious of his innocence, complained to the police the following day, and Balch was arrested.

If Prof. Alfred curing contributions report SEEKING A NEW SECRETARY. CONTRIBUTORS TO CONTROL THE SOCIETY HEREAFTER. Programme for the Season of 1897-’98 Provides for Hight Orchestral and Four Choral Concerta. A. D. Cunningham has resigned his posi- tion as secretary of the Choral Symphony Society. He announced Tuesday morning that in future he would not be connected with the society In any way. Mr. Cunningham’s resignation has not yet been accepted, but the directors of the so- ciety are already looking for another secre- tary. Mr. Cunningham’s labor for several years has been one of the most important factors in upbuilding the organization. Jn discuss- ing his resignation, he said: “I have decided to have no further con- nection with the Choral Symphony Soolety simply because my business interests wiil not permitit. The scope of the plans for the coming season ig so large that I could not perform the duties of secretary without neglecting my business. This is my only reason for resigning.” Mr. Cunningham's resignation was dis- cussed at Monday night’s meeting of the Society, but no action was taken on — The session was consumed in adopting new by-laws in line with the plans of the society for the season of 1897-1898. The most important clause puts the society under con- trol of contributors who donate $5 or more to defray the expenees of concerts. Hereto- fore the voting members of the society were the members of the chorus. This season the singers will have no vote, that privilege being accorded only to the contributors. At annual elections the singere will have rep- resentation on a basis of one vote for eight members of the chorus, The personnel of the new Executive Com- mittee was announced as follows: Mrs. Mary W. McKittric Mrs. R. McK. Jones, Mrs. John Schroer, Mrs. John Green, Mrs. Philip N. Moore, George D. Markham, A. P. He- b and & L. Swarts. Circulars containing a prospectus of the coming season will be sent out shortly. There will be twelve concerts this year in- stead of six as heretofore. Season tickets for the entire course will be sold for $7.50. HDight of the concerts will be orchestral and four choral. of two weeks, beginning some time in No- vember. The plan to give matinee concerts has been abandon The committee is now looking for promin- rnst returns from Europe in time he will be re-engaged as leader. ; The ladies tn charge of the work of se- atifying prog- ress. The greater part of the $12,000 neces- sary to establish a permanent orchestra has been raised and promoters of the project now say there is no doubt of its success. MAKES A HARD FIGHT.

Simon Lentz, a South St. Louis contractor, was on his way to his home at 37380 Virginia avenue, Monday night, when he became weary and sat down to rest at the corner of Chouteau avenue and Grattan street.

CAUGHT IN ST. LOUIS. Frank E. Story Arrested for a Crime Committed in Indiana. “Tf it hadn’t been for letters my wife wrote me, telling me my shortage was all settled, I wouldn’t be in limbo now,” said Frank E. Story, wanted in Indianapolis for embezzlement. Story was assistant bookkeeper of the firm of Totten, Tolin & Tubbs, stock deal- ers. He had been in their employ five months when, on May 5 last, he decamped with $733 of the firen’s money. He was traced all over the West, as far as San Francisco, where he doubled on his tracks. The Indianapolis authorities learned a few days ago, presumably from letters sent to his wife, that he was on his way to 8t. Louis. Monday evening, ‘when he stepped out of the train shed onto the Midway at the Union Station, Detective Ben Thorn- ton of Indianapolis was awaiting him. The Indianapolis’ officer porated Story out to Detectiv es King and ward, who arrested m Story was completely surprised at his ar- rest. When the truth dawned upon him he attempted to draw a revolver for the purpose, he later declared, of killing him- self. He Was prompt! disarmed. Then he became hysterical, cried, and begged the detectives to return his gun so he could blow his brains out. Story, when seen tn the holdover Tues- day, was in a calmer mood and seemed rec- onciled to his fate. He freely admitted his guilt and told the ge! 4 of his fall. “T had access to the check-books,”’ he said, “and one day, needing some ready cash, I filled out a check for $20 and ob- a week. I was unable to do so, however, and realizing that I would be detected and punished I resolved to take all I could lay my hands on and stand the consequences. I aid so. “T traveled all through the West, put up at the best of hotels, spent money liberally and had a good time. Neither horses nor women got any of the money. I corre- sponded regularly with my wife and brother and I have now a letter written by my wife, telling me the trouble had been set- tled and that I was free to return to any art of Indiana except Marion County. I ae Shen her and started for St. Louis, in- tending to apply for work here. “Tl can’t understand how she came to write that letter, unless she was deceived by the firm, I sent my brother altogether $995 of the stolen money and I supposed he had applied it towards ty oh pewer wd the shortage. If I had known the authorities were still searching for me they never would have gotten me.”’ Story is only 27 years old, although mar- ried three times. He says he obtained di- vorces from his first two wives for good reasons. His present wife he married a year ago and he says he loves her devotedly and would die for her, even though she was the innocent cause of his falling into the clutches of the detectives. a FOUND HM I IN JAIL. ~ END OF A SISTER’S SEARCH FOR HER MISSING BROTHER. TOLD OF HIS FATHER’S DEATH. ——————— Frank Smith, Charged With Burglary, Goes Through a Trying Scene at the Four Courts, % There was an affecting scene in jail Mon- day afternoon when Frank Smith, 23 years old, charged with burglary and larceny, was called to the screen to see his sister, Mrs. Francis Groetche of 3010 Kossuth avenue. About 4 p. m, Mrs. Groetche, dressed in deep mourning and wearing a heavy black veil, stepped into the jailer’s office and said she was looking for her brother, Frank Smith, Two weeks ago, she.said, he disappeared from his home, something he had never done before, and no one seemed to know his whereabouts. He had had trouble some time before and was arrested, and she thought perhaps he might have got in jail this time. As a last resort, she said, she came to the Four Courts. The records were consulted and it was found that there was a man named Frank Smith in the jail. Mrs. Groetche asked to see him. As she stood at the screen waiting the coming of the prisoner, she caught sight of her brother as he emerged from his cell and she at once broke into tears. When he approached the screen she almost went into hysterics. She begged the guards to let her embrace her brother, but she was told that she could not enter beyond the screen, After much persuasion on the part of her brother she finally quieted down and for several minutes she and her brother con- versed in a whisper. Finally Frank burst into tears and bidding his sister farewell he turned on his heel and went to his cell where remained in seclusion weeping bit- terly all night. A reporter who had witnessed the scene learned that two.weeks ago Frank had been arrested on the charge of entering a freight car on the Merchants’ Terminal tracks in North 8t. Louis. He was ashamed to tell his folks where he was and what the na- ture of the charge was, so he decided to remain quiet and if needs be to go to the pen oneere rather than bring any disgrace on his aged parents and sister. e denied himself cigarettes, tobacco and other lux- uries rather than write to his folks for money and thus reveal his whereabouts. When he did not return home and no word was received from him, his sister and per- ents became almost frantic.. Every day Mrs. Groetche went out in search of him. She traversed the entire city, visited all his friends and haunts, but in vain. Last Thursday their father, Ernest, be- came ill. He was 60 years old and his son's disappearance, along with his illness, wor- ried him greatly. The sister was fearful the father would die and his son not know of it or even be at his bedside. At last the expected happened. Satur- day evening the father died, and his final farewell was, “Tell Frank that I thought of him, and tell him to be a good boy The sadness in the Smith Rouselena was now increased. tenfold.

Work-House Committee Reported Overcrowding of the Cells and Recommended Relief. . The Board of; Public Improvements held a busy session Tuesday and in ‘one or two in- stances incurred the displeasure of corpor- ations and citizens alike. One of the first matters to be considered was the dereliction of the Citizens’ Electric Light Company, in connection with conduit privileges. It appears this company has ig- nored in the main the rules laid down in the conduit regulations. It was therefore or- dered that it be excluded from privileges on portions of Locust, Walnut, Franklin ave- nue and St. Charles street for failure to make the necessary deposits on which all permits are issued. The Board, on motion of Water Commis- sioner Holman, aprovped an ordinance pro- viding for the expenditure of $95,000 for water-works material. The report of the Work-house sommittee took a sensational turn and exposed a hor- rible condition of affairs at that institution. Among other things the report says that there are forty-five cells, each 9x18 feet, in which there are now 48 prisoners kept, or ten to each cell. These cells should not con- tain more than four prisoners each,. The only method of relief now is in releases by the Mayor. Reports show that the Mayor is L sunt pietns this privilege most liberally. In May he re- leased 301 prisoners and in June . The committee recommended that an additional! frame oynding Se erected at a cost of $2,500. Comptroller turgeon reported that he would “find” the money for this humane necessity. The protests of tax payers@gainst the ing and grading on Delmar avenue and i. field, between Taylor and Cora place, were ignored because te -work is complete and the tax bills have been issued, THE EADS’ JBTTIRS.

THEY FULLY CORROBORATE PRE- VIOUS STORIES OF THE GREAT DISCOVERIES, But Predict Untold Suffering for In- experienced Men in the Dis- mally Cold Country. Special to the Post-Dispatch. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., July 20..—B. F. Purcell, who is about 60 years olf, and who left his home, near St. Louis, in April, 189, fs one of the fortunates who has become rich in Alaska. He did not reach the Klon- dyke, however, until Jan. 1, 1697. He de- clines to state the amount of gold he has brought here with him, but says that he sold a half interest in claim No. 28, above Discovery, on Bonanza Creek, for $21,000, not including the dirt already on dumps. He snys there is room for 200,000 men in the mining districts of Alaska without any crowding, but that the suffering this win- ter will be terrible. He characterizes any attempt to reach there this fall as fool- bardy. Mr. Purcell explains what has mystified many and that is why the miners are com- ing back from Alaska when such riches are fn sight. A man should not, says he, remain in the Kiondyke country more than one eason without coming back to civilization. H coming out he acquires a new lease of life as it were, and goes back better qual- ified to cope with the hardships to which he must submit. Mr. Purcell was one of six miners direct from the Klondyke, who reached here from Seattle. The others are €. E. Myers, J. O, Ciements, Charles Leonard, C. Brannan and J. J. Halterman. They are the advance guari of twenty-five or thirty of their com- rades, who are expected here to-day.

The claim sold for $50,000, and $200,000 would not buy it to-day. He tells of a man named Andrew Neleon who — $40,000 for a partner who had given him a grub stake and had never seen the claim. Another member of the party, J. O. Clem- ents, is said to have disposed of a claim for $56,000, and has in the eafe of the Golden West Hote] a nugget valued at $231.

Mc- Intosh, Governor of the Northwest Terri- tory, in which is included the far-famed Klondyke district, is in Seattle. The Gov- ernor freely subscribed to the truthfulness of the stories sent out as to the richness of the new diggings. He estimates that the Klondyke and its tributaries yielded over $3,000,000 in gold last winter. Of this amount he says $2,000,000 and upwards came via the steamships Portland and Excelsior. More than a million dollars in dust, he says, is now stored away in the cabins of miners along the creek being de- | veloped. P “The British Yukon yield on pee for 1897,’’ the Governor resumed, ‘“‘will not be less than $10,000,000."’ He says surveyors are now at work trying to ascertain the feasibility of a construction of railroads into the Yukon.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. SEATTLE, Wash., July 20.—The miners who returned from Alaska on the Portland have been averse to talking, and many of the purported interviews from this place are the work of enterprising correspondents, The heaviest winners on the Klondyke have persistently refused to be interviewed, but they all intend to go back in the spring. They are selfish enough to want to corral the whole diggings. The North Amerfcan Trading and Trans- portation steamer Portland will leave Seat- tle Thursday morning at dawn for the far North. St. Michael's at the mouth of the River Yukon is her destination. Her ac- commodations have all been taken, and she will turn away hundreds. So great is the desire to y into the ld fields with the rush that all sorts of tricks have been resorted to, such as drugging @ man and stealing his tickets on the steamer Alki, whose berths were all sold forty- eight hours before she sailed. he Portland’s trip north will be th last this season on which her owners wil guarantee to put the passengers into the K londyke. The siver freezes in Soptee From 8t, Michael’s passengers and their baggage are transferred to the river steamers of the company. Barges are placed in tow of the steamers, which are all of light draft, ow- ing to the rapids of the Yukon. They are loaded with provisions. The passengers on the Portland are not allowed to take any provisions, as the company is engaged in selling supplies to miners. Passengers are only allowed 150 pounds of baggage. RECEIPTS AT HELENA. Gold Pouring in From Alaska for As- say Purposes. HELENA, Mont. July 3.—Eleven thou- sand four hundred ounces of gold from the Klondyke diggings in Alaska was received at the Agesay Office here last night via the Northern Pacific Express from Seattle, Ten thousand ounces were consigned to the American National Bank of this city, and the balance to the United States Assay Office here. The Alaska shipment, in con- nection with about $30,000 received from placer mines, miakes the total receipts at the Assay Office about $230,000. CANADIANS JEALOUS.

C., July 2.—There is great excitement in British Columbia, ow- ing to the fact that Canadians are making nothing out of the fabulous finds in their own country. Live Americans have been the pioneers in the Canadian Yukon, as well as at Kootenal. Prominent men and the press are demand- ing that the Dominion Government place customs officials at the Canadian passes. At present Americans are paying no duty, and are getting their goods in Seattle and other American towns, to the great loss of Brit- ish Columbia.

But the latter route should only be undertaken in the spring, and then “= by large parties, well equ:P “Just now individuals with plenty of youth and energy, and not a cent less than $1,000 in hard cash, might be justified in taking the journey around by the mouth of the Yukon. “He will § from St. Louis to Seattle via St. Paul, 2, miles. From Seattle his route will be wholly by water in steamers of the North American Transportation and Trad- ing Company, via the Aleutian Islands and Norton Sound, which is the southern gateway to Bering Strait. At St. Michael, which is about 6 degrees south of the Arc- tic Circle, the gold hunter transfers to a river boat and then begins the long journey up the Yukon of 2,200 miles to Circle City. ‘Here are the rates of fare from St. Louis by that route: St. Louis to Seattle, first class, $67.50; second class, $47.50; Seattle to Circle City, first class, $150; epee class, $125; meals and berths included. “re people want to go by Sitka and the Chileot Pass route, the fare from Seattle to Sitka is $0 cabin and $22 steerage, meals included.
