He was an ardent amateur sportsman, a member of various gun clubs, and before his health began to fail he carried for sev- eral years the State medal as the champion shot. His wealth enabled him to devote much of his time to this phase of sportsmanship and also to the leading socia] clubs, among which he was known as a devoted friend and a royal good fellow. With all his social and business qualities, however, he carried a great grief, to which he never referred save among his imme- diate family. He married, early in life, a Miss Stoddard of Platte County, Mo., a beautiful woman, who bore him two chil- dren. She died twenty years ago, and to the day of his death the family say he could scarcely speak her name without in- dications of sorrow Mr. Peck’s son was with him when he died in Los Afgeles.

The old gentieman retired from active business many years ago, and occupies the mansion he built as a home at 7 Vande- venter place. His sons are in the real estate business on Chestnut street. Charles H. Peck, Jr., had been in dell- cate health for two years, and in February last determined to try the climate of South- ern California.

Husband Tore Up the First Marriage Certificate and Now Wants Another. George T. Waring and his wife are going to get married. They were married once, but they will have the knot tied a second thme to make sure of it. Waring is a clerk in the distributing de- partment of the Post-office. His wife was formerly the wife of Don Martin. a son of Attorney John I. Martin. As Mrs. Don Martin, the present Mrs. Waring cut a wide swath in Chicago dur- ing the Democratic National Convention. While Col. John I. Martin was earning undying fame as Sergeant-at-Arms of the convention, hia son and the latter’s hand- some wife were living In style at one of the fashionable hotels. The lady paid the bills. She had just come into her share of the estate of her father, Hugh Redmond, a wealthy St. Louis contractor. Shortly after their return to 8t. Louls Mrs. Martin sprung a sensation in the shape of a petition for divorce from her 17-year-old husband. She charged non-support and sald that during the brief season in Chicago young Martin had spent ail of her money. The petition stated that she had scarcely enouf&h money left to stand the expense of a suit for divorce. Young Martin did not fight the caze. Within a month after the divorce she was married to George Waring, who had been a suitor before she married Martin. The Warings have been living at 5735 Ju- lian avenue since their marriage. Wednesday morning it became known to » friends of Mr. and Mrs. Waring that had secured a@ marriage license at » license was issued to George T. War- , and Miss Phyllis Redmond. ' news caused all Kinde of specula- but Mr. Waring set matters sfraight conversation with a Post-Dispatch re- porter. “I married Miss Redmond soon after she was divorced from Martin,” he said. “About two months ago we had a little fracas and I tore up the license and mar- riage cert ficate, “Lately we got to thinking we didn't have stiything to show that we were mar- ried, and so decided we had better get a new Hcense and get married again. We were married by a Justice before. A priest — marry us ths time.

A Posse With Bloodhounds Ie in Hot Pursuit of Them. LL.ANAGAN, Mo., Aug. 18.—The Pineville bank robbers were last seen about two miles south of Noel yesterday. One man Is supposed to have left the other two there. Three horses and saddles anJ some ammu- nition were captured. The robbers went to the woods afoot. A posse was out all night In pursuit of them and United States Marshals Pirmen and Copeland have secured hloodhounds and started on the tralil at 11 o’clock this morning with the posse. The robbers stole two horses during the night. The three men who robbed the Pineville Bank are supposed to be Indian Territory bandits. They came into town about 9 o clock yesterday morntng and began firing their guns to intimidate the citigens. They then we nt to the bvaha and at the muzzles of thelr guns reileved the cashier of all the money in sight—between 860 and $1,000.

LOUIS MAN HAS PERFECTED AND IS USING THE MUCH- | SOUGHT PROCESS. REQUIRES AN ARTISTIC EYE. Albert Scheckner Reproduces Tints in a Camera and Is Guarding His Secret Carefully. Since Prof. Vogel of Berlin, Germany, sug- gested the idea several years ago that it was possible to reproduce colors with the camera, photographers and chemists have sought to find a successful process. Albert Scheckner of the Western Engrav- ing Co. of this city has achieved this. He can reproduce any object in its natural col- ors. The practical soiution of color photcg- raphy means a world of comfort to the commercial traveler at least. The drummer, instead of carrying loads of excess baggage in the shape of samples of his goods, needs only the colored photographic counterfeits. The main secret of the process is the ex- traction of the three primary colors, yel- low, red and blue. A novelty of the work is that the object is photographed at right angles, or prac- tically around the corner. This is made ossibie by a prism before the lens of the camera. Behind the prism isacolor filter. This is a small, flat tank of glass. Thi‘s filter ia filled with a chemically pure solution to exclude all but the color desired to be ex- tracted from the object. A green liquid ls used when red is to be photographed, a blue solution when yellow is wante and a red mixture is put in the filter when the third basic color, blue, is to be reproduced. Back of the filter is the plate specially prepared for each of the three colors. The man at the camera must have the eye of an artist for color effect. He needs to know just how much yellow, red or blue he should extract from an object. From the nega- tives these positive plates of the primary colors are made, From each a copper plate for the press is then made. By running them through @ registered press, one on top of each other, the object is reproduced in all its variety of hues. The composition of the liquid used in the color filter is a secret which Mr. Scheckner and his associate, William A. Stecher, keep behind barred doors. Mr. Scheckner has reproduced samples of carpets and dress goods of the most intnN- cate design and wealth of color, and has photographed a hundred other objects of the most difficult kind. CONTRACTORS MUST HALT. -- —- > —--— Street Commissioner Is Tired of the Many Torn-Up Blocks. The Street Commissioner ts going to put a stop to the way contractors have of tearing up a half dozen or more blocks of street ahead of the pavers. This is a great inconvenience to travel, and is deemed wholly unnecessary, as it is not possible for the pavers to keep up with the wreckers. Numerous complaints have been made to District Superintendent Schawacker about the condftion of Taylor avenue, between Del- mar and Easton avenues. The blocks be- tween those avenues have been torn up and the foundation plowed for several weeks, and yet not a paving stone has been laid coulllnie ty usta abies Bi dlls Pes Ne es. ee e aise , Supt. Schawacker notified the contractor | Wednesday that he would have to finish | the plowed blocks at once, and hereafter |no contractor will be allowed to tear up |} more than one block in advance of his | pavers. ' Mr. Schawacker says the trouble is caused by letting too many streets to one con- tractor at a time. The contractor tries\ to keep all the work geing at once. This is ‘mpossible. not that labor is scarce, but because the material cannot be hauled to ithe point needed on time. An effort will be made to limit the num- 'ber of street improvement contracta,- so that a contractor will not have more on hapd than he can rush through without ob- structing travel.

Charles Chementz, a printer employed by the Westliche Post, was stabbed Wednes- day morning about 4 o'clock by an un- known man in Delabar'’s saloon, on Market street, adjoining the Westliche Post Bulld- ing. A knife blade was buried in Chementz’s abdomen. He was taken to the dispensary, where his injury was pronounced fatal. At the City Hospital Dr. Sutter said the wounded man would recover. From the Hospital Chementz went to his home, 821 South Eighth street. It is said that the unknown man entered Delabar’s saloon, where Chementz and a party of friends were. § drinking. The stranger insisted on mingling with the crowd. This led to a dispute. , Without warning, the Intruder drew a knife and plunged it into Chementz’s stomach. Then he fled and has not yet been arrested. There is no clew to iis identity. At 10 o’clock Wednesday, William Sach- teleben was arrested, charged with stabbing Chementz.

Tuesday night, so the story goes, Suender and his friend William Nolte, a saloon- keeper, went out to see the town. They were accompanied by two women, The quartette started out early. . Paulo's saioon at Broadway and Elm satreet was selected as the proper place to make a night of it.

Meehan was near the Southern Hotei as the party passed on the opposite side of Broadway. Cath- erine Victor, & young woman employed at the St. James Hotel, had knelt down and Was scrubbing the sidewalk in front of that piace. Sergt. Meehan is authority for the etate- ment that President Suender subjected the scrub girl to annoyance. She was not harmed yet she screamed aloud with fright. In & moment a large crowd congregated. When it was learned that Suender had taken advantage of the girl's stooping posture and had laid hands cn her, as alle , there was much excitement. “Lynch him! Lynch him!” cried several young men from the hotel. Sergt. Meehan qaebes the incipient upr'tse- ing by placing Suender under arrest. He called a hoodlum wagon and sent him to the Chestnut Street Stat‘on. Meanwhile the women fled and no further- trace of them has been found. From Chestnut street Suender was taken to the Four Courts. There he found hie friend Nolte waiting to sign his bond. Bail was fixed and Suender was released.

With one or two exceptions all the del- egates in the House are strongly in favor of a bicycle law that will compel riders to carry lights and bells and that will prevent scorching. But there is a question of politics that is always springing up. Mr. Judy belongs to the majority of 17, and Mr. Coudrey to the minority. This only prevents the House being unanimously in favor of the Post Dispatch ordinance. The people are clamoring for a bicycle regulating law. Riders themselves favor such a law. Every large city in the United States has such alaw. The general opinion is that St. Louls has been too long without one. The ordinance introduced by Delegate Coudrey was that prepared by the legisia- tive sub-committee of the Good Streets Committee of the League of American Wheelmen, Missouri Division. Attorney Everett W. Pattison is the Chairman of this sub-committee, and he prepared the ord'nance.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. e CEDAR RAPIDS, Io., Aug. 18.—The Re- publican State Convention was called to order shortly after 11 o’clock by H. C. Mc- Millan. Chairman of the State Central Com- mittee. By way of an innovation the con- vention is being held in a_i large tent pitched upon the C. O. E. College campus, and having seating accommodations for 6.000 people. The convention is one of the largest political bodies that has ever met in this country. The roll of delegates and alternates aggregates nearly 3,000 names. A full ticket. comprising Governor, Lieuten- ant-Governor, Judge of the Supreme Court, Superintendent of Public Instruction and Railroad Commissioner, is to be nominated, Up to two weeks ago Gov. F. M. Drake had a clear field for the renomination and his withdrawal, based upon his physical condi- tion. which is so precarious that particl- pation in an active campaign would endan- ger his life, has precipitated a red-hot con. test and developed a field of eight would-be nominees.

Olive miners are doing considerable loud talking with Hillsboro miners. In reaponse to an appeal for militia from Sheriff Rand, Gov. Tanner declines to or- ~P out troops. In his message the Sheriff said: “One word from the Governor will dis- erse the 600 or more miners who are now rs the village of Coffeen. Will you say (‘hat word now, or wait until the town is in ashes and possibly lives lost?’ The Sheriff received this reply from the Governor: “I am advised that so far there has been no personal harm, no destruction of property and no infraction of law at Coffeen. I shall not on the vague anticipation of mob vio- lence send troops to Coffeen. In the mean- time it is your uty to preserve the peace and protect life and property." —-@-- -— INJUNCTION MADE PERMANENT. Coal Company Ordered to Give a $5,- 000 Indemnity Bond. PITTSBURG, Pa., Aug. 18.—When court opened this morning Judges Stowe and Col- lier handed down a decision in the injunc- tion proceedings of the New York and Cleveland Gas Coal Co. against the United Mine Workers of America, Patrick Dolan, William Warner and others. The preliminary injunction waa made per- Manent and the plaintiff was ordered to file a bond of $5.00 to answer for such dam- ages as may be sustained by the defendants by reason of the injunction. Immediately after the filing of the de- cree and upon motion of Mr. Thomas Pat- terson. the court ordered a similar decree to be drawn in the case against the Runalo miners. in which the injunction was ap- plied for by Rufus C. Crawford. The striking miners encamped .at the mines of the New York and Cleveland Gas Co. did not march this morning as they had Pianned to do. it was their purpose to Start for the mines headed by a brass band and march until the Sheriff stopped them. They did not anticipate. however, that the Bheriff had his men #o close to their camps At Turtle Creek the men formed tn line. and when they were ready to start they he. held the stalwart formes of the deputies standing qust outside of their camp. The march was at once abandoned, and smal! parties numbering from two to six each were instructed to patrol the woods in the vicinity of the mine and report the num- rof men going to work.

Coal is selling in local yards at 12 cents a bushel, Just double the usual prtce Black brings 6 cents and bota are hard to et at those rates. There are kW families n Wheeling in need of coal, while all .nan- ufacturers that do not use gas are hamp- ered for fuel.

As trustees of the Republican party of Iowa, we are charged with the duty of so conduct- ing our deliberations that we shall strength- en the hands of the Administration, encour- age the hope and inspire the faith of all the friends of good government and make overwhelming success a certainty. “The Republicans of lowa are uncompro- misingly in favor of upholding the plighted faith of the nation, redeeming its obliga- tions and preserving the equal purchasing and debt-pay!ng power of every dollar coined or issued under the authority of the national government. “They are now, as in 1896, in favor of maintaining the gold standard, the standard of the most enl ghtened nations of the world: of sustaining America’s position in the front rank of the army of progress—rather than taking its policy from nations 3,000 years behind the age In which we live. “They do not believe that wealth can be created by an act of Congress. If that could be done, the Republican party would have made us all mill'onaires as the first act of the extra session of Congress just closed, and thus ‘have thrown wide open the gateway to a financial millennium. “The Republican party recognizes that the only alchemy by which hard conditions may be transmuted into wealth and pros- perity is through the pement. energy and un‘ted effort of an Intelligent people. It recognizes that unwise legislation or ad- ministration would destroy credit, paralyze bus ness and render national and individual prosperity imposs'ble.”’ The convention adjourned untf!l] 2 o'clock.

CHICAGO, Aug. 18.—A conference of IIli- nois and Indiana coal operators, at which all principal ones were present, was held here to-day. The opinion seemed to be unanimous that there would be no resumption of work at prices higher than those paid when the strike was ordered. It was stated that any other course was gn ag owing to out- standing contracts which do not expire un- til May next. A large proportion of the out- put of the mines, it Was said is under con- tract, and tn many districts there are form- al contracts signed by the operators and definite wages. Were the t was claimed, the margin of profit would be more than ab- sorbed, Unless these contracts for coal are carried out the party failing is lable to damages, lt was the impression that none of the miners fixing operators would attend the Peor'a conven- tion to-morrow. = --- @& - --— MARCHERS UNDER ARREST. —— mee eee Violations of the Injunction Issued by Judge Jackson. FAIRMONT, W. Va., Aug. 18.—One hun- dred and ninety of the Montana campers were arrested this morning for marching, | which Judge Jackson claims is a violation of his injunction.

The Bills Were Referred to a Commit- tee, but They May Never Be- come Effective. The House of Delegates, under the new regime, is showing unusual zeal in behalf of public improvements. It held a epecial session Wednesday at ll a. m. to hurry along the nine street im- provement bills that were introduced Tues- day ‘night. These bills passed their second reading and were referred to Committee on Public Improvements. The House seems {n no haste to adjourn, as it again laid over for one week the joint resolution for a. recess until Novem- ber. The Council is ready to adjourn. Ex-Speaker Lloyd moved that the House go into Committee of the Whole on the charter amendments, but it was defeated by the usual partisan vote of 17 to ll. The ayes and noes were called for on every mo- tion. Ex-Speaker Lloyd has his little band of followers as compactly in hand as has Speaker Lehmann, with Judy, Bersch and Helms as floor managers, has the ma- jority. The House adjourned to meet Friday at 7 Ro) . Mm. After all the hullabaloo the four West End street improvement bills have caused in the House they may prove worthless, as a grave doubt is raised as to their legality. President McMath of the Board of Public Improvements says that any contractor who undertakes the work provided in the ordinances will do so at his own risk eo far as the validity of the tax bills {s concerned, and that before the board lets the contracts it will inquire whether the bills have been legally passed. The doubt is raised on this state of facts: Two weeks ago the bills were filed by the House. That was on Tuesday. The follow- ing Friday an effort was made to recon- sider the bills: that motion was voted down. A second time an effort was made to reconsider the filing of the bills and was lost. The unbroken rule of the House for a score of years has been that when a Dill is filed it is dead, and, though a motion may be made within two meetings to resur- rect the bill, if that motion is lost the bill is considered dead and the only way it can come before the Assembly again is as a new measure, from the source that origi- nated it. This is specifically the rule as to tax bills. The House's course on the bills Tuesday night was first to reconsider the reconside- ration by killed. This was carried, then followed a motion to suspend the rules. This, too, car- ried, and the bills were taken from the file and passed, The Board of Public Improvements will hold that the bills were dead, and it was out of the House’s power to resurrect them, and that if they are to become laws upon which valid tax bills can be based, the Board, Which originated them, will have to intro- duce them anew and then they must take their regular course through the Assembly. Unless this is done Mr. McMath thinks that no contractor will be thoughtless enough to undertake the work. The City Counselor, it is said, orally ad- vised the House that its course Tuesday night would be legal. A PENITENT MAJORITY. Controlling Faction in the Promises to Be Good. The people who packed the House of Delegates chamber Tuesday night expect- ing to see a continuation of the wild con- duct that characterized last Friday night's session were d'sappointed. It was as or- derly a bueiness session as the House ever held. Speaker Lehmann was on hand early and so were all the members. Half an hour before the House met the seventeen mem- bers who deposed Lloyd from the chair, headed by Speaker Lehmann, marched into the Mayor’s office to extend to him the olive branch of peace and assure him they were not only going to be on their good behavior, but would break all former rec- ords in the line of public improvements, The Mayor received his callers with stern courtesy. Speaker Lehmann did most of the talking, which consisted of assurances that he and his followeds were not opposed to the administration or its avowed policy of public improvements. The Mayor said he was glad to learn this and hoped there would be no more frict‘on. Speaker Lehmann has been a member of the House for so many years, and so frequently in the chair, that its duties are not new to him. He presides with good- humored dignity. The first thing to be done was to an- nounce the new committees, and the Speak- er showed that he knew how to take care of his friends.. There is not one of the op- position on an important committee, and the only one of them allowed to hold his chairmansh'p is Pauley on the Claims Com- mittee, a thankless job, that none of the Lehmannites would take. s soon as the committees were an- nounced Mr. Bersch moved a recess, sub- ject to the call of the chair, and all of the committees at once met and organized. The committees elect their own chairmen. The tables were neatly turned on the Lehmann- ites in the Committee on Education and La- bor. The Speaker intended that Mr. Madera should be chairman of this committee, but inadvertently placed on this comm.ttee with Madera and Schumacher, Watson and Weeke of the opposition and Burke, a Dem- ocrat. The oapentien saw their advantage and elected Burke chairman. The inc.dent created merriment and Burke Was Warmly congratulated. When the House reassembled Bersch, chairman of Committee on Public Improve- ments, moved to reconsider three of the street bills that caused the revolution in The rules were suspended and the bills went to engrossment with a whoop. Mr. Coudrey sought to have the Fountain avenue bill, one of the original four, put through by the same process, but it failed. Mr. Bersch stated that President McMath ef the Board of Public Improvements sald that the bill had been sent down through mistake and it ought not to pass. To further show its zeal for public !m- provements the House passed to second reading nine more street improvement bills Three of them are in Bersch’s ward and three In Schumacher’s. Delegate Henning introduced a resolution House | Wittenberg. to discharge the committee appointed to in- vestigate Judge Stevenson of the Second PoHce District Court, but on motion of Bersch the resolution was postponed one week.

Hogan, Heckel and Carroll were absent yesterday. The only important meas- ure acted on was the passage of the Dill to amend the building ordinance. Assist- ant Fire Chief Gross opposed any changes, but a delegation of business men and oc- cupants of large buildings insisted that the ordinance was too rigorous and the Council agreed with them, as to the matter of floor apace. The Council adjourned for one week. WHAT HYMEN FINDS TO 00. Miss Lily Wolfe Becomes Mrs. Fred- erick C. Anderson. Miss Lily Wolfe, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D. R.

Local Dealers and Visiting Buyers Cut the Merchants’ Association Sessions. Local wholesale merchants and manu- facturers are so busy with the visiting merchants that the sessions of the Mer- chants’ Interstate Association are getting a frost. Wednesday was the second day of the convention in Masonic Temple, and lees than a dozen members were present, The scssion was brief. Secretary John A. Lee read two letters. One was trom EF. F. W. Meier, President of the City Council, who was down on the pro- gramme for an address. He wrote that h'‘s china and queensware store was crowded with buyers, and he found it impossible to get away for the fifteen minutes his ad- dress would require. O. H. Witte, a hardware merchant, was also on the programme. He wrote he was too busy to be present. Mr. Lee also received a letter from Jona- than Rice, head of the dry goods firm of Rice, Stix & Co. Mr. Rice is down for an address Thursday morning. He sent his address and requested Mr. Lee to read it for him. Mr. Rice wrote that his store was being Overrun by customers. Never before had he known buyers to be in St. Louis in such large numbers. Every minute of his day is oecupied, he wrote, and he found it impos- Sible to get away from his office. Mr. Lee estimates that Nearly 5.000 mer- chants and buyers are now in St. Louis for their fall and winter stocks. As many more will be here Sept. 7, 8 anda 9, when another ineeting of the association will be held. By joining the assocjation members get transportation for one and one-third fare for the round trip. Every mail brings Secre- tary Lee from 5) to 100 requests from the country for membership cards. ENTICED INTO AN ICE WAGON Willis Johnson Assaulted While De- fending His Little Brother. Willis Johnston {is in the City -Hospital with an ugly scalp wound, received in de- fending his 13-year-old brother Sidney. The Johnstons live at 147 North Second street. Two men enticed Sidney into an ice wagon in a vacant lot on Mullanphy street, between Main and Second streets, Tuesday evening. The boy tried to escape and screamed for help. Willis Johnston, 23 years old, heard his younger brother's cries and ran to his rescue. The men pounced on Willis. One struck him on the head with a blunt instrument, knocking him in- sensible, Then they ran. Willis Johnston was removed to the hos- pitel. Dr. Sutter examined the wound and said it was slight.

December wheat, which is now the prpe- vailing option, made an upward bound an ‘Change Wednesday until it advanced - yond September. Under normal conditions it should have ruled at least three cents higher, but September held itself almost level with the December option. The morning hour was dull and dragging. This was occasioned by the observance af a public holiday [n Paris, and as the market has been largely relying on the Frenc cables for bullish news, it could scarcel! do more than remain firm. | Towards noon information was received that the continent Is buying California wheat and that England is exporting whea to France. In view of the fact that Englan cannot supply herself, this indicated an ur- gent demand from Paris, The cables began to rule higher, the local rece!pts light and the northwestern receipts unusually light.- Then away went the market. December wheat, which at the opening was 88 cents, went slowly up to 88% cents, and more slow- ly to 89% cents, suddenly jumped to % cents, then steadily and rapidly moved for- ward to 90%, 90%, 90% cents, and thence to 91% cents. September opened at 9ic, dropped to 9%c, eam to 9lc and ruled strong at that gure. Cash wheat was higher and in little better demand. Just after 12 o’clock, when December be- ~ its upward movement and the Septem- er option advanced in Chicago, the grain pit let itself loose, and even the staid ex- Gov. Stanard was seen amid the shouters, calmly viewing the eituation and occa- sionally taking a hand. The most active traders continue to be Messrs. Haarstick, Franc!s, Aiken and Spencer, who bought for export. Amadee Cole took a flyer and fairly danced a jig on the edge of the grain pit when Septem- ber advanced on the Chicago market. During the last hour on Chnage Septem- ber wheat went forward by jumps, amid excitement ss the traders. t closed at 94% cents, the highest price of the day. PRICES HOLD UP AT CHICAGO. Foreigners Were Good Buyers and Shorts Were in Trouble. CHICAGO, Aug. 18.—Traders who went home last night short on September wheat were disagreeably surprised to-day by the action of the Liverpool market, where an opening decline of only %*@d was record- ed, notwithstanding a break of nearly 2 cents in the local market yesterday. Their efforts to cover caused an epee paweace of 1%c, September starting at 85%@85\c. Considerable selling was done on the ad- vance, however, much of which was cred- ited to the September bull crowd, and a re- action to 845¢c ensued, but this wheat once absorbed the market easily recovered to &5ec, holding firm for some time at about that price. Second Liverpool cables showed remarkable strength, advances of 4™@%d be- ing reeorded, and foreigners were again ood buyers, both here and at New York. he weather conditions were not entirely favorable and the Western movements showed signs of falling off, Minneapolis and Duluth reporting receipts of but 174 cars against 231 last week and 346 last year. Corn was a disappointment to the bull traders. September opened \%c higher at 2%c through sympathy with wheat, but there was a great deal of long corn for sale and the price quickly dropped back to 27%2.@28c. The weather was more favorable and receipts were, liberal—771 cars. The marked strength of wheat made its influ- ence later, September reacting to 2%@ 23%4c. Oats were practically stagnant, the market t@king its tone entirely from corn but fluctuating narrowly on the small trade. Receipts amiounted to 410 cars. September opened a shade higher at 17%@17T%c and de- clined to 17%@17%c. In provisions pork was given almost the entire attention of traders and vigorous buying caused. a sharp advance. All the products were helped by the strong hog market and by the firmness of wheat. Sep- tember pork opened a shade higher at $8.20, advanced to $8.40 and reacted to $8.35. Sep- tember lard opened a shade lower at 4.45@ 4.474%ec. September ribs opened a shade higher at 4.95 and advanced to 5c. BIG PROFITS ON WHEAT. City Bucket Shops Have Cleared $250,000.

PITTSBURG, Pa., Aug. 18.—The Indica- tions are that the camp about Barnum’s Mines will be abandoned and there will be no more marching.

FIEND, LIZZIE WONG’S ATTACK ON MA- TRON ANTHONY IN THE CITY JAIL EXPLAINED. ABSTINENCE MADE HER CRAZY. The Slayer of Chinese May Was Fe- rocious Because She Had No ‘‘Painkiller.”’ Cocaine was responsible for the distur- bance in the jail Tuesday evening, told in a late edition of the Post-Dispatch. Matron Anthony had a close call for her life at the hands of the notorious Lizzie Wong, the white wife of a Chinese gambler. The Wong woman murdered “Chinese May” in Hop alley last March, and is one of the most desperate characters known to the St. Louts police. In her assault on Matron Anthony she was abetted by Gussie Krause, an abandoned he charged with assault with intent to Both are cocaine fiends of the worst Ee. Whenever they are deprived of the drug for a few hours they become violent. Tuesday they had no cocaine. Shortly after 5 o’clock Matron/ Anthony ordered her prisoners to go to their cells. The Wong woman refused to obey. She walked the corridors defiantly and chal- lenged the matron to combat. None of the male guards were in the matron’s depart- ment. Mrs. Anthony tried to force the obstrep- erous prisoner [nto her cell. . With the rage of a tigress Lizzie Wong sprang forward and fastened her fingers in the matron’s luxuriant blonde hair, Gus- sie Krause took a hand and helped Lizz-e Wong throw Mrs. Anthony down. The male guardg, attracted by the screams of the women, rushed to the rescue, They sent the two prisoners sprawling to the floor and plaeed them in dungeons. i “These women are ruined by drugs,” said Matron Anthony to a Post-Dispatch report- er. ““They smoke cigarettes inckesaatty and use cocaine whenever they can get ! of course, they are not allowed to have co- caine or other drugs in jail, but their friends smuggle it to them inside of cigarettes or food. When they cannot get the drug they become like maniacs.”’ Mrs. Anthony was badly bruised and lost some of her hair during the fight. On the night of April 25 last Lizzie wong shot Mary Jones, alias “Chinese May. Both women were associated with China- me. and Hved in adjoining houses in Hop ey. The Jones woman accused Lizzie Wong of inttmacy with negroes. After angry words Lizzie Wong shot her adversary through the lungs. She was removed to the City Hospl- tal, where she died. Lizzie Wong is about 20 years old. She came here from Chicago with a Chinese gambler to whom she claimed to be mar- red. Her former home was Springfield, Til. Her family name is Moore, and she is said to be the st hag of respectable par- ents. Her association with Chinamen came about through her craving for opium and other drugs. She its now a hopeless cocaine fiend. She says she married the Chinaman in Chicago last January. The Jones woman came from Pilot Knob three years ago. DR. M'ELWEE NOT SURPRISED.

Wagener brought sult against Henry C. Scott, president of the Laclede Power Co. Wednesday for $25,000 dam. ages, $20,000 punitive and $5,000 actual, fo allewed defamation of character.

The Chicago Tribune of Aug. 16 indulges fn a malicious reference to the invitation to President McKinley to attend the an- nual St. Louis Exposition, as an effort to boom a “private snap.”’ In view of the record of the St. Louis Exposition and that of all other attempts to establish permanent expositions, St. Loulsans can well afford to smile at this filing at the only successful per- manent exposition in the United States. The St. Louls Exposition is about to open its fourteenth season, after thirteen successful seasons, In its twelfth year— an age which no other exposition in this country has been able to reach—It paid a dividend of 8 per cent on each share of atock. The management is now build- ing a magnificent coliseum, which will accommodate 12,000 persons, and for this purpose have readily assumed an indebt- edness of $150,000, with full confidence that the receipts will pay out. Aa for the benefits of the Exposition to St Louis, the merchants can testify to it has been to trade by bringing thousands of people to the city and giving it world-wide advertisement. The St. Louls Exposition is a monument to the solidity and prosperity of St. Louls and to the enterprise and ability of her business men, It is a public enterprise, the attending and commending of which would be a fit and creditable act on the part of the President. —_ —_— ———— There is cause for rejoicing in the changed temper of the House of Dele- gates toward street imprévement bills, but the end does not justify the means adopted by Mayor Ziegenhein to force the House into obedience to his ideas. ii — — Lip SHERMAN’S COLLAPSBE. It is evident that Secretary Sherman fs not only becoming more reckless in his utterances on matters of State, but that he does not appreciate the import of his utterances and forgets what he has gaid the day after he said !t. Naturally, Secretary Sherman would be the last man to realize the failure of his powers and to recognize the neces- sity of his retirement from the head of the State Department. Late advices state that he laughs at the suggestion of his resignation, But the resignation must come. The interests of the Government cannot be imperiled by the mental incompetence of a senile Georetary of State. It will be necessary for President MoKinley to get Mr. Sherman aside. The situation is pathetic, but it Is a gituation of the President’s own mak- ing. He knew Mr. Sherman's condition when he made him Secretary of State to clear the way to the Senate for Han- na. Whatever disaster, or pain, or hu- miliation follows must rest on the Presi- dent’s shoulders, All wrongs bring a penalty, Unfortu- mately, the weight of the penalty does mot always fall on the guilty. Poor Gherman, humiliated at the close of a long and distinguished career, must bear the brunt of the McKinley-Hanna wrong. _—_ el OO The habit of taxing poor men heavily geeems to have led the Tarrytown As- geseor into overestimating Mr, Rockefel- ler’a property. en a os ' BVANGELINA CISNEROS. If Spain desires to win a place tn the ranks of progressive and humane nations tt will be merciful to Pvangelina Cis- neroa, the daughter of the Cuban leader. The condemnation of this young woman to @ living death in the penal colony of Ocuta will bring upon the Spanish Gov- ernment the execration of the civilized world, The evidence seems to show that this irl has not been directly guilty of any olitical crime She is a victim of cir- imstances, and if she is sentenced to twenty years’ imprisonment among the vileet of criminals it will be because she ia her father’s daughter. It will be looked upon es @ dastardly act of vengeance, inworthy of any but a barbaric nation, steeped in mediaeval brutality and ig- norance, Spain has already brought upon herself eufficient ill-will through barbar'ties com- mitted in Cuba by Spanish so'diers and in the prisons of the mother country upon men who, however gullty, were in @ help- less condition, The Spanish Government has it in its power to partially retrieve its reputation and win the world’s friendly regard by showing mercy to this poor girl. The eyes of the civilized races are upon Spain in this crisis, The patience of the civilized world is about exhausted. ee - Although the farmer will not be made rich by the great crop and good prices of the present year, he will be better off than he has been for several years.

Vice-President Lewis of the Board of Police Commissioners shows 4 commend- able spirit In promptly accepting the Post-Dispatch’s suggestion that the Board issue an order for the raiding and | closing of the pool-rooms. It of as Mr. Lewis says, that the ‘closing of the pool-rooms without the ald of a specific law is a difficult task. It is difficult because the courts have made it difficult. They have not sup- ported the efforts of the Police Depart- ment. But Vice-President Lewis agrees with other lawyers that there is law enough for the suppression of these dens of vice. 'He says that the Police Commissioners will do their full duty. That is all the assurance the people of St. Louis want.

Stephens’ Rumored Intention—Protests and Warnings From Democrats. The Brady Blunder, To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I am a friend of Gov. Stephens and ac- quainted with his most intimate friends in St. Louls—probably a better friend of his than they—and I propose to show it by sav- ing him from a blunder. Here is the Brady business In a nutshell. Gov. Stephens has been advised that 8St. Louis is hopelessly Republican. Hence this pian has been suggested to him, and I re- gret that he has already adopted it to a great extent: He has been told that it is not worth while to regard the party in- terests here, and that the shrewd political thing for him.to do ts to organize a ma- chine here, regardless of the notions of the best Democrats in St. Louls, and for the sole purpose of controlling dirigible dele- gations to the State convention so that this great nominating vote can be traded on and used to choke organized opposition in con- ventions from any one section of the State. The men who have contributed thousands of dollars to the party’s welfare in St. Louis and who have never asked a favor of any kind from it in return are disgusted at such an idea. If Gov. Stephens appoints Brady and carries out this plan of my Democratic St. Louts friends, into how many conventions does he think he can go with- out having a reeking party scandal raked up? Dave Francis wanted a solid 44 votes in the convention, and to get the forty- fourth his managers were obliged to make midnight deals for police captaincies and places which were a smothered scandal for a year afterwards. This was the result of a dickering for one Twenty-third Ward yote. The Democrats of the State were not long in learning the real significance of that solid St. Louis delegation. They suspected it before the convention was over, and were confirmed in their suspicions by the Police Board appointments a few months later. This is the most short-sighted political pisn I have ever heard of. The St. Louis Democracy must not be used to get a trad- ing delegation for State conventions, and if Gov. Stephens appoints Hugh Brady in ex- ecution of this plan he will make a blunder, and the misbehaving Republicans who are hard at work preparing St. Louis for Demo- cratic control will be free to do as they please, There will be next to no Democratic party in St. Louis. A ST. LOUIS DEMOCRAT. St. Louls, Aug. 17. One Truly Independent Paper. © To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. J read your article about the Brady in- dorsements, It seemed to me that the Gov- ernor thought he was going .to spike your guns when he gave you as Brady's indorsers your advertisers. I am glad there is one truly independent paper in the city of St. Louis, and I know that one of your adverti- sers expresses the same sentiment. I think it is a shame that Gov. Stephens does not remove this man from the race. SALESMAN. Against Public Decency. Te the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. It was understood by the people that the new election law was passed and the Board of Blection Commissioners was created for the purpose of securing fair elections—an honest vote and an honest count. I have read the Post-Dispatch’s publica- tion of the record of Hugh J. Brady and the comments of other papers on the pros- pect of his appointment, and I cannot under- Stand how vy. Stephens can oonsider his appointment as Election Commissioner for a moment. It seems to me that this appointment would be both a blunder and a crime. It could only be taken as a notice that Gov, Stephens cared nothing for honest elections, and had determined to break down the safe- guards thrown around them, It would be a slap at the people of St. Louts and a blow at the Democratic party of the city. It would be an offense against public decency. - * . Reckless Political Indorsement. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The so-calied indorsements of Hugh Brady, which you so cleverly exposed, should be a lesson to business men and others against furnishing characters to po- tical adventurers without sufficient thought and investigation. Many of those who “wrote.letters’’ for Brady, merely be- cause some friend requested it, and without knowing who he was, would take the ut- most precautiong in aycase of indorsing a note or other commércial aper where money was directly involved. But in a case involving the management of the most important interests of the entire communi- ty, they never gave the subject a single thought. The same people who thus carelessly al- low unfit persons to become public officiais are the loudest in condemnation when such officials are exposed in corrupt methods. But how can they consistently object, when they were themselves to blame for the mal- feasance in office. CAVE CANEM, St. Louis, ae - Brady’s Bad Record. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. What did Hugh Brady ever do for the Democratic party of St. Louis, that he should have such a cinch as he calls it on the office he aspires to? Tom Mulvihill, that popular Democrat; Martrom Lewis and Judge Valliant are the only survivors of Brady’s piloting of the local Democratic ship of statte. And if “Whew” Brady had not become too odoriferous for the highly perfumed committee we could look forward with confidence to not having a single Demo- | crat in office after next election. PLAIN DEMOCRAT. St. Louis, Suggests an Anti-Filley Petition. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Why don’t you get up a petition against the appointment of Brady as Election Com- missioner? I believe we have got enough of honest citizens here to send a very long one to the Governor. The Post-Dispatch should take it up. Here is another suggestion. I see by your paper to-day that Gov. Stephens has just been to a camp meeting near Boonville. In- terview the good Methodist ministers of St. Louis and see whether they approve of the appointment of such a man as Brady to such an office as Election Commissioner. Let us see if the Governor got grace at that camp meeting. AN INDIGNANT READER, ee POST-DISPATCH SNAP SHOTS. | FOUGHT WITH Vassar‘s negro graduate seems to oan been merely a tinted Venus.

Mr. Con Larkin of Second and Valentine streets avas fined $60 by Judge Peabody for interfering with an officer. Mr. Larkin cussed the hairless magistrate good and plenty and then the Judge didn’t do a thing to him but double the fine. = When Mr. Larkin’s case was called, Before the bar he promptly stepped, And gazed upon the Judge’s bald And shining pate, while o’er him crept An anxious feeling, sad and sore, Which he had never felt before, And Mr. Larkin nearly wept. The hairless Judge looked grimly down— Oh, harsh and stern were all his tones, And something awful was his frown, Presaging sighs and tears and moans, He heard the case and said to Con, Whom fiercely he gazed down upon: “Sir, I will fine you fifty bones.” Oh, deeply was Cornelius shocked; It nearly threw him off his feet. In prison walls would he be locked If he should fall that fine to meet. In savage mood he tore his hair And cussed the Judge with all the rare Invectives of the slums and street. “Cease, prating fool!” the Judge replied To seething words that rent the alr. “This court you grossly have defied And joshed me for my dearth of hair. By all the cops that Larry owns, I'll make that fine a hundred bones And more, unless you have a care!” Then slowly down the crowded aisle ‘Mid sneer and smile and quiet nudge, A eopper led poor Con, the while, And placed him where he could not budge. “Youse may be Con,” the peeler sald, “Rut bate dthis troot into yer head— Youse cannot con dthe hairiess Judge.” J. G@WTCHER GUNN. WACEO IN CUBA. Ira C. Farley of Ohio Returns to His Home From the War. NEW YORK, Aug. 18.—Ira C. Farley of Cleveland has just landed in New York from Havana. He went to Cuba a year ago. Being attached to the western army he at- tracted the aftention of Antonio Maceo by his gallantry in battle. Maceo promoted and trusted h'im. “We usually fought in small parties,” said Farley, “but once in a while there would be a battle in which from 1,000 to 1,500 of our men would be engaged. A curious thing was that you could always tell whether {t was Spaniards or Cubans who were fighting, because with the Span- ish troops it was always volley firing, and poorly aimed firing at that, while with the insurgents the firing was always scatter- ing and individual.”’ Of the late Gen. Maceo, his chief, he speaks in the highest terms. ‘‘He was the bravest man I ever saw,” said he. ‘‘Maceo could not rest when the enemy were near him until he was fighting them. He was like a lion and did not know what fear mcant, and when bullets were whistling about him he was always cool and com- posed. The army were appalled when they heard of his .death.”’ Col. Baldemoro Acosta and Capt. Jesus Delgado made their way back to the fleld and so secretly buried the body that the Spaniards, -in spite of the most strenuous efforts, have been unable to learn the spot where it was interred. Neither have the two officers intrusted the secret to any Others, from fear that it might somehow be betrayed. For several months Farley tried to cross the island to where Gomez is in command, but every effort failed. Finally, wasted by fever and the effects of exposure, he found that he must leave the island or die. With difficulty he made his way to the outskirts of Havana and was there two weeks ago arrested as a suspect. He was examined before a tribunal, but pretended complete ignorance of the Span'sh language and was allowed to go aboard a steamer bound for this city. DRIVEN TO SUICIDE BY SHAME.

A small quantity of Illinols coal found its way to the St. Louis «market Wednes- day morning. It came from mines tn and around Center- ville, and was held at the same price as foreign coal. The prevailing figures were $3.00 a tun for mine run coal and $3.50 for lump coal. Kentucky coal is being used al- most exclusively in the local trade for both steam and domestic purposes. Sales Agent Crabb of the Consolidated Coal Co. said Wednesday: “So far as quantity Is concerned, there ig no prospect of a shortage of coal. Any of the large dealers could fill an order for 600 cars of Kentucky coal on short notice. “Of course, the price is high, and will remain so until the Illinois mines are again in operation. “The necessity for repairing and cleaning up some of the mines has made it possible to get some Illinois coal into St. Louis. When a mine is not worked for a few weeks it gets out of repair. The timbers have to be braced and the rooms cleaned. The men, though unwilling to mine coal, readily con- sent to do this work. In cleaning the rooms of slate they turn out a good deal of coal which its shipped here, “Otherwise conditions have not changed. There is no prospect of a further advance unless the strike should last until the de- mand for coal for domestic uses sets in. At present five car loads a day would easily supply this demand.’”’ WIMBERLY'S VILLAINY. Hanna’s Friend Asked a Mother to As- sist in Her Daughter’s Dishonor. WASHINGTON, D.

Alexander Boyd, the part- ner of Davis, testified that the estate con- s'sts of a one-half interest in the partner- ship property of Boyd & Davis, and that the value of the one-half Interest of Davis is $1,012,721. The attorneys for the contestants propose to move for a new trial. ANOTHER BRITISH GRAB. England’s Flag to Float Over Clip- perton Island. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Aug. 18.—The arrival of the steamer Navarre from Clip- perton Island confirms previous rumors of possible diplomatic complications with Great Britain over the ownership of that isolated bit of land situated @0 miles west of Acapuleo, It seems that England has never acquired a title to the land. Several years ago it was discovered that the Isle was rich in phosphates. The Oceanic Phos. phate Co. of this city was then organized, and since that time the tsiand has been owned here and has practically been United States territory. It is now asserted that ——— capitaliats propose to buy the San rancisco com- pany’s interest, and, having acquired a com- mercial control, to then place the island under Great Britain's flag.

All the time he had been talking he was picking at the ruffle on my Mother Hubbard with his fingers and arranging the pleats. I never thought of my watch.

A man was walting for him and he could not stay any longer, With a hurried good-by he ran down the steps and out of the door. “I looked for my watch. It was gone from the hook under the ruffle. I ran to the door, He was out of sight. I put on a duck skirt over my Mother Hubbard and went as far as Franklin avenue in search of him, but I did not find him.

BILLY MADDEN'S DEA IT IS AIMED AT NO SMALLER GAME THAN CHAMPION FITZSIMMONS, RUHLi:. THE NEW CANDIDATE. Madden Says Bob Must Fight His Man or Give Up the Cham- pionship. Billy Madden, who brought John L. Sul- livan to the front and who is the most an- clent, as well as the most famous, of the present coterie of pugilistic managers, is Out after Champion Fitzsimmons’ scalp. Fitzsimmons its resting on a farm near New York and to al) requests of Corbett for a match, Fitz has replied that he ts out of the business for all time. When pressed he has sald: “Tell Corbett to go lick Choynski, Maher and a few of the men I have licked and then I'll take him on again.”’ Corbett's manager having failed to draw Fitzsimmons out, Madden, as will be seen from the following from New York, has gone after the champton: NEW YORK, Aug. 18.—Chamption Fitzsimmons has been challenged by Billy Madden in behalf o fBilly’s latest find, Gus Ruhlin of Akron. O. The latter has done very little in the prize ring and how he comes to issue a challenge to Lanky Bob is a@ mystery. The only engagement that Ruhlin hs ever had of any prominence was his meeting with bie Jeffries of California, which was de- cided a draw. Madden says that he means to force Fitzs«enmons into a match or claim the heavy-welght champlonship. To show that he means business, Madden has posted the sum of $500. In the event of Fitasim- mons refusing to notice Madden's chal- lenge Billy will claim the title of heavy- weight champion and will have a big belt made, Bob o — a , a the Browns’ franchise, park and i don't know but that Chris would as soon sell to him as any one else, providing he !s willing to pay the price.

Von der Ahe sell Jim e'ther a controlling or a part interest in the club. One thing is certain Corbett has ‘been paying great attention to base bal! recently and his active participa- t.on in the minor league games makes me th'nk he is training for a place in the big League.

Final Announcement of the Close of the Opportunity Under the Low Rates. It was because of the great and increasing number of people who came from all sec- tions of the country, and all sections of the world, to be cured of Deafness, that Doctor Copeland first gave notice that he must raise his fees in order to limit the number of his patients. He found that his office facilities were becoming overtaxed, as was the time of himself and his associates. In order to be perfectly fair to all, he offered for the month of June the opportunity of beginning or renewing treatment at the old low rates which had so long been patd. This opportunity he extended for July, be- cause 60 many applied during the conclud- ing days of the month that it was impos- sible to give personal attention to-them all. He again extends it for August for the same reason. He now feels tiiat none can ever find fault with him or criticise him, thai none can ever say that he was not fair, liberal and generous beyond example, for certal ly no opportunity of the kind was ever so long continued or ever s0 thoroughly made known, He does not regret that he has so long continued it, although both himself and his associates have found no hour of leisure during all this time. He feels that much ae has been done. He feels that many ave had restored to them their lost hear- ing, who would have forever remained in- habitants of a world of silence, and he feels that many have been. enabled to be cured of all the different forms of chronic dis- ease, who wou!d otherwise have remained hopeless invalids, and he feels that all have Having Extended the Opportunity Over the Larger Part of the Summer Season Doctor Copeland Feels Justified in Making the Notice as Clear and Emphatic as Poss | sible—Only Those Applying For or Reaewing Treatment During the Remaining Days of August to Be Treated Until Cured at the Ofd Low Fees. 4 the cars pass by, the doorbell ringin and people had to shout louder and ad er in my ear to make me hear. Why She Went to Doctor Copeland. “T have lived in my present home for twenty-four years and five years ago my husband was successfully treated by the Copeland Physicians for another malady. I read of the wonderful cures 8 eee at the Copeland Institute and was aiso advised agen there by Mrs. John Smith, 2622 Lemp av., whose husband had taken the Copeland Treatment. Now She Is the Happiest Woman in St. Louls “T consulted Doctor Copeland in re- gard to my deafness, and, after an exam- ination of my ears, he told me that I could be cured if I followed the treat- ment properly. He ‘has cured me per- fectly and I can now hear as well as I éver did in my life. Before my cure I could not hear my brother call to me from the next room. Now I can hear him speak from anywhere in the house. I could not hear the street cars pass right before me, but now I can hear one coming as far as Jefferson avenue, five blocks away. “The fact that my hearing is restored As ; . : be Pe, oe - 7 set il \ ; = - boat on the water. avenue—five blocks away.”’ been enabled to receive the benefit treatment at a fee so smali that there has been no burden.

COLONIZATION. t Sheridan Webster and the Friton Brothers Tell How They Expect to Give Idle Men Work and Accomplish Reforms. In a quiet, Dus'ness-lfke way the “Army of the Unemployed” ts being organized in should be tn such an organization as this. | “I am not look.ng to my own prosperity, sad Friton to a Post-Dispatch reporter, “but to the prosperity of all workingmen. Business is good with me. My brother and I have all the work we can do. This only makes us sympathize with those who are out of work and can get none. “With me it is a matter of prneiple. In 1776 the founders of the Amer.can Republic fought for a principle. With me it is the | same way. I lose sight of myself and my own business In the welfare of the peopije. Of course. in any colony we m ght start i there would be no need for manufacturing jowelers or diamond cutters. I would have to go in for a new trade. “No great reforms can be worked at once. It is a part of ovr scheme to gradually take the unemployed from the streets of the great cit'es and put them into colon.es, 2,000 or 3,000 at each place, and let them work on the co-operative pian. A commission has been appointed to select a site for the first colony. They will recommend the State of Washington, and a call has already been made for 2,000 mé- tallors, chanics, carpenters, woodworkers, shoemakers, farmers, gardeners, lumber- men, wood choppers, bricklayers, stone- masons, hodcarriers, blacksmiths, bakers, milliners and representative of all the trades, ‘These are expected to send In their names to the secretary of the Colonization Com- mittee, Cyrus . Wiltlard, Trade Bulent. Chicago, and to hold themselves In readl- ness to travel to Washington when called upon.” ‘Although not prominent as an organizer or officer of any branch, the head and front of the Social Democracy !n St. Louis is Sheridan Webster. He talked to a Posf- Dispatch reporter tn the Pine street head- quarters of the St. Louts organization. “We are trying.” he said, ‘to put the best features of the Populists and the So- clalists into our platform. The Populists are Amertean citizens. and the Socialists, un- fortunately, are men of foreign birth. We are combining the best features of each, “Tintil we can meet on that middle ground, between the Populists and the Socialists, we are trying to colonize the unemployed.

Just now farmers in the pietegen d tribu- tary to St. Louts are holding their wheat for higher prices. When their dream of doliar wheat is realized they will hasten to ship their product to the markets of the world and cars must be had to carry it. Four St. Louls lines are directly interested in the movement of grain fram the South and West. They are the Missouri Pacific, the Frisco, the M., K. & T. and the C., B. & Q. All of them, except the C., B. & Q., are making unusual efforts to get cars in readi- ness to transport the year’s crop of grain. A large force of men are at work, day and night, in St. Louls, bullding 500 new box cars for the Missouri Pacific. All the sur- plus cars of this road emptied in St. Louls are sent direct to the grain shipping cen- ters and remain there on side tracks, ready for use at moment’s notice. It is thought the new cars will be put in commission within two weeks, They will be reserved for use in the grain trade until the rush is over. The M., K. & T. and the Frisco are al- ready facing the prospect of a shortage of their own cars and are supplementing equipment from that of other lines. They are borrowing cars from Eastern roads wherever practicable and, besides, they have an army of car tracers traveling about the country gathering up their empty cars and sending them to the agricultural cen- ters. The Cc.. B. & Q. 1s relying on its own equipment. It began centering its surplus rolling stock in Nebraska weeks ago and now has nearly 5,000 cars there. Local railroad men estimate that these four lines now have 15,500 empty cars in the West. distributed as follows: Missouri Pacific, 4,000; C., B. & Q., 6,000; Frisco, 3,500; M., K. & T., 3,000. This equipment ts looked upon as merely an advance guard, The number is increas- ing daily. ; vomal railroad officials eay there will not be a cat famine here and that the move- ment of the immense grain crops will not interfere with the transportation of other classes of freight. Superintendent of Car Service C. A. Wentworth of the Missouri Pacific said: ‘There has been no shortage of cars here and there will be none. St. Louis ts for- tunately gituated in this respect. It is a terminal point for all the big Eastern and Western lines and cars from all directions are emptied here. It would be hard to over- tax the capacity of any of the St. Louis lines. Though the volume of our business has increased enormously the past few weeks, we have found it pose‘ble to keep a large number of surplus cars in the grain belt. Many of these cars are emptied at St. Louls and shipped empty to Western points. A good proportion of them are shipped out of here loaded,-emptied at their Western destinations and side tracked for use when the crops move. I am not pre- pared to say that we have enough cars [fn the West to meet the demand if the ship- ping season were to suddenly open. In that sense there is a shortage, but we could easily get cars to the shipping centers on short notice. “We could do this without hindering the movement of regular commercial sh:pments, St. Louis will hold her own this fall as a great shipping center. While rival cities are frantically trying to round up freight cars St. Louig will be sending grain to all the world,” Car Service Agent W. D. Collins of the M.. K. & T. said: “There can be no car shortage here. We will probably be forced to draw on the equipment of Eastern lines That is done every fall, though the demand will be greater this season than for years. “Our line has already borrowed a few cars. and we have tracers out gathering our equipment for the grain trade. “The only emergency to be faced is nota shortage of cars, but the congestion of freight at the exporting points, especially Galveston. I have just returned from Gal- veston and I find conditions there much bet- ter than they were last year. Two immense new elevators have been built. They will ac- commodate millions of bushels of wheat, which would otherwise stand in box cars in the yards, “Steamship service at Galveston has also been greatly improved and cars will be un- loaded much more promptly than hereto- fore. The outlook for the railroads is bright, and of course the prosperity of the roads only reflects - prosperity of the people ‘ho support them. weghipments of all kinds have been almost unprecedented, The great grain crop means good times for the farmers, anda prosperous farmer makes prosperity for everybody with whom he comes in contact.” Railroad men in general share the rosy views of Mr. Wentworth and Mr. Collins. They say that the movement not of grain alone but of commercial and _ industrial products were never greater at this season, and that St. Louls Is more than ho!ding her ‘own as the great distributing center of the Solid City sad South and West. Reports of earnings for the first and sec- ond week in August show that every one of the St. Louts lines earned a larger revenue than during the corresponding period last rear. In point of increased earnings St. oain lines rank high in the list of lines re- porting increases. Despite the fact that farmers in the St. Louis territory have, with few exceptions, held on to their grain, much of the wheat and corn shipped from the West for export has been routed to Galveston by way of St. Louis.

MANY PERSONS HAVE HEARD THAT IT IS LOCATED NEAR THE CEMETERY. A -RENDEZVOUS FOR HOBOES. “Haunted House,” “Boiling Station”’ and Other Points of Interest to the Tramping Fraternity Near Fairmount Are Being Raided, Marshal Nace of Webster Groves Is exert- ing himself to break up the robber band that has been stealing freight from Missouri Pa- cific trains for several years. He is also seeking for a cave said to contain much booty. About twenty-five suspects have been ar- rested and four are being held. Other sus- pects have been fined and sentenced to the County Jail for vagrancy. Some innocent persons have been ar- rested, among them young George Fischer, living with his father, a real estate dealer, at 3923 Juniata street, St. Louls. The young man, who is a clerk in Boehmer’s shoe store, was walking along the Frisco tracks Tuesday afternodn on his way to visit his uncle, a farmer near Webster Groves, when he was arrested. He sepent the night ina crowded cell at the WeS8ster Police Station, Marshal Nace arrested John Williams, alias Tommy Birmingham, Jack Mullen, Wiliam Mullen and Fred Stratman and has them in jail at Clayton. Jim Craig, alias Brooks, allas Pollard, who first told of the existence of the band of thieves, ident.fied Jack Mullen as one of the leaders. William Mullen and Stratman were arrested with Jack at the ‘‘Haunted House.”"” They all deny any knowledge of train robbing and discredit the story of a cave. Williams, alias Birmingham, also a pris- oner, wag ra'sed with Micky Mack in St. Louis and has often been in trouble with the St. Louds police. Marshal Nace euspects that Stratman is one of the three tramps who killed a brake- man near Sioux City, Io., over a week ago. Stratman refused._to give any information concerning himeelf and In some particu- lars answers the description given of one of the three men. His picture has been sent to Sioux City for identification. Nace is looking for Andy McNulty and Michael, alias Red Eye Ryan. McNulty and Ryan were arrested two months ago and were given chain gang sentences as idlers. Nace tried then to break up the Fatrlawn band of trampe as a nuisance. Jim Craig was arrested in St. Louts by Capt. Pickel. He. sent Capt.
