Friday afternoon she wus seen about her rooms and appeared more cheerful than was her habit. She dressed for the street toward evening, and when night had fallen left the house. To an inquiring neighbor, whom she met near the corner of Hick’ y @treet, she said: “IT am going away and will never cc.se Dack.’’ She has not been seen since, and the theory is accepted by her friends that she has ended her life.

Witness to the ceremony which made them man and wife. Rev. Mr. Roberts of Mi)- Waukee, Who performed the ceremony, opens up rather startiing possibilities by saying, when shown a photograph of Keller, that the picture much more resembled the man whom he married to Mrs. Walkup than did the picture of John B. Ketcham. Several of the butler’s prominent features, including a small mustache. which was not @ peculiarity of Mr. Keteham, were care- fully noted by the Rev. Mr. Roberts as common to both Keller and the bridegroom of September HM. The butler had little to Gay on this subject, but volunteered much information concerning the eventa of the- Wedding trip. He claimed that Ketcham and Mrs. Walkup Went to a Milwaukee hotel and hurried frdim there to the parson- @ge and that Ketcham’s face was not wrapped in any way. The Rev. Mr. Rob- erta says the bridegroom's face was partiy muffied in a shawl, not, however, conceal- ing the mustache. As to this phase of the situation, how. ever, neither Mr. Parnell nor Mr. Ketch- em's relatives have anything to say. The attorney would neither affirm nor deny the statement that the pending contest may devolve upon the question as to whether John B. Ketcham or the butler, Joe K: lier, was the bridegroom on Bept. 24. Relatives of John B.

Keller and Mrs. Sarah Torrey were asked to sign tje will giving Mrs. Walkup everything. This was done in the presence of D. C.

Mrs. Ketcham believes that she was born under an unlucky star. This thought came to her when, as a girl-wife, she was tried for the murder of her aged husband, and again the other day she insisted that this star must be in the ascendent, for again death and misfortune visited her. Although her life has not been a long one, it has been a more eventful and romantic one than most Gor phan women would care to live.

There were hy no tears to shed, she said, for she had suf- i} fered to such a degree that tears failed her. As she talked to me I felt that here sat a remarkable woman, who had as a girl passed through an ordeal such as few women could endure, and yet she had after that murder trial tried to take up her life again and make as much of it as there could be to one who had such a memory with her. “Tt was only lately that I thought: per- haps there was something in life for me,” she said aS she turned her great black eyes upon me, ‘‘and now there seems to be noth- ing. But I must live, and, as I am still young, it seems as though I would not know what to do with my life.’ Mrs. Ketcham is young, and, what is more she is wonderfully beautiful. I don’t know as I ever seén a more beautiful creature, and surely not one of the brunette type. Her Southern birth is betrayed in her won- drous eyes and coal black hair, of which she has a great deal. Then she has a mar- velous complexion of pink and white, and a beautiful figure, which is always perfectly costumed, but more than her youth and her beauty is she remarkable for her great com- | aj] postire of manner, While she talked of her romantié life she sat as quietly as though she was of stone, and yet she insists that she is of an emotional nature, and ehe should be from her Southern blood. It was not a pleasant errand that I went upon, yet Mrs. Ketcham was the one to apologize for asking me to wait until she could see me. “Tt was because I dreaded a revival of the story of my first marriage,’’ she said as she clasped her hands toegther in her lap, “‘that I desired a secret marriage with Mr. Ketcham. For years I have had to fight the memory of that dreadful trial and T knew if our marriage was announced that all that old story, with its miseries, would be brought out, and so I thought that it might be avoided if we were quietly mar- ried.’’ JCHN R. WALKUP. poria. The sentiment of the town was for conviction. The defense did not dehy that Walkup was poisoned with arsgnic, but said he took an overdose While faking the poisen for medicine. The climax of the case wae reached when Mrs. Walkup Was placed on the stand. She was very beautiful and well schooled, and before she finished giving testimony the lawyers, jurymen and Judge wept and the stenographer’s eyes were blinded so that he could not eee to write. The girl, who had been befriended only by one man, had cap- tured the hearts of all who were not d‘« rectly interested, and they were ready to swear that she was innocent of the hein- ous crime laid at her door. A verdict of acquittal was returned. Shortiy after the trial Mrs. Walkup left Emporia_and very little has been heard of her. The three children of Mrs. Walkup live in Emporia. They are Mrs. John Senator Martin: Mrs. Harry Hood. who«ee husband is a son of Maj. Hood, and a very wealthy and prominent stockman, and W Walkup, a farmer. ‘ NEW BARGE LINE PLANS.

She was born in New Orleans, and when she was but 15 years old the Mayor of Emporia, Kan., came to her mother’s house and fell] in love with the Southern beauty. Although James R.

The prisoners will be taken out of the jail. The more dangerous will be placed in the hold-over, while the others will be kept in Judge Peabody’s court-room under police guard. Chief Harrigan has consented to furnish 100 policemen. These officers will be used to transfer the prisoners from the jail and to guard them while the jail is being fu- migated. The entire force of sanitary inspectors will be employed. The street department will furnish tweniy men for the heavy work. These men will first scrub out the jail, washing everything from top to bottom. Then 300 pan-burners, burning sulphur, will be distributed throughout the jail. While this is burning the jail will be Closed. Every window, door, skylight and other opening will be tightly fastened so as to keep all the fumes of the sulphur in. After the fires are started there will be no one in the jail. This will require about two hours. Then the carbolic acid will be poured in all corners and crevices, removing all filth and destroying all vermin and germs. Jailer Huebler expects to have the pris- oners back in their cells by noon Sunday. The jail will be cleaner Sunday afternoon than it has been for a long tinfe. HEH has never been fumigated. Th‘'s fumigation is expected to check the prevailing or almost epidemie jail sick- ness. This fumigation of the jail is the result ef the Mayor's visit to the place Tuesday, ac- companied by the Grand-jury. So deeply impressed was the Mayor with the disgraceful conditions in ‘the jail that he sent a special message to the Municipal As- sembly Tuesday evening, setting forth tne necessity of immediate improvement and inviting members of the Assembly to join him in an inspection of the jail Wednesday evening. The Grand Jurors agreetl with the Mayor >} that the jail was a disgrace to the city, and that it was barbarous to there confine hu- man beings. The walls of the cells aré plastered with newspapers and flaming posters, stuck there by inmates, and it was found that under the paper cockroaches swarmed by thou- sands.

The identity of the man who committed suicide in the Globe Hotel, 114 North Sixth street, has been established. The suicide registered at the hotel as “H. May,” but his real name was R. A, Mitchler, and his home was in Salina, Kan. The identification was made Wednesday by William H,. Wise and Paul G. Bezner, clerks in the Hamilton-Brown Shoe Co.’s offices at Eleventh street and Washington avenue. Wise and Bezgnher called at the Morgue and said they had scen a description of the suicide, and on reflection concluded that it might be that of Mitchler,. who was formerly employed by the Hami!ton-Brown company as a traveling salesman. Supt. Mack was on the point of sending the body to Potter’s Field when the clerks called and asked to view it.

Blanco and Colonial Secretary Moret are | already concerting. Gen. 3lanco and Spanish diplomacy had again laid much stress on the expe- diency of not postponing the publication of the whole of the reforms and their initiation at the latest before the end of November. Gen. Blanco has found the mil- itary situation in such a condition that, with all the vigor he is displaying in reorgan- izing his forces, he does not believe it possible to begin extensive operations in the eastern provinces for some weeks. for supplies and money only. So far he has not applied for reinforcements, but It is said that the Spanish Government will provide the State Department at Washington with the text of the colonial reforms and full details of their working, with all the data required to give President McKinley an insight into the new policy before drafting his message. The Spanish Ministers and Minister Woodford seem to get on very well together. ARTHUR E. HOUGHTON. THE SPANISH CORRESPONDENCE | WILL NOT APPEAR IN THIS MESSAGE. WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.—It is said to be the present intention of President McKinley not to incorporate the recent Spanish corre- epondence in his annual message to Con- gress. He ®es not deem it compatible with the public interest to publish the full text of the notes pending further correspond- ence, and the “arrving out of the promises made by the Spanish Government. The pa- pers will be ac ‘essible to members of the committees of foreign affairs for their guid- ance in dealing with various resolutions, which will come before them. It is reported that Spain asked to have the correspondence withheld for the present for political reasons. The new ministry fears that its conciliatory attitude towards the United States,°as shown by i note, may cause embarrassment at home and thereby make it impossible to carry out the proposed reforms. On the other hand, there is the fear that members of Congress who have been expecting so much at the hands of Mr. McKinley may not be satisfied with all that Spain has promised and that an- other outbreak in Congress will tend to aggravate the situation in Spain. The President’s chief desire is to stave off action of any kind by Congress until it can be definitely known whether Spain’s new plan is to succeed or fail. THE ST. LOUIS SCHEME TO FLOAT $200,000,000 CUBAN BONDS FAILS. An offer by Gerrit H. Ten Broeck, a St. Zouis lawver, to float $200,000,000 of bonds for | etruggling Cuba has been refused by the Junta. Mr. Ten Broeek ts now in New York on! another gigantic scheme. He is forming a trust of the wire and fence wire manufac- turers, to b@cap'talized at $75,000. Although fhe offer to help free Cuba was | made seveygal months ago, the matter is} just becoming public. Various 4ispatches sent out from Wash- ington of late have stated that an enor- | mously wealthy syndicate offered the Cuban | change. ;}a paper one, St. 1 and fused a loan of $200,000,000 with which to buy their freedom from Spain. But the loan of $200,000,000 was to have been Louis millionaires, who had gone into the scheme of Mr. Ten Broeck’s, do not throw their money away, they were inclined to los®k upon a loan of $200,000,000 in cash for $200,000,000 in, Cuban bonds as not a desirable offer, The feal proposition made by Mr. Ten Broeck, as the representative of the syndi- cate, was to advancé the Cuban provisional government $10,000,000, and to take $200,000,- WOO of 6 per cent Cuba Libre bonds in ex- Of course should Cuba fail to gain Government a sum. sufficient to buy their ‘independence the bonds wouldn’t be worth liberty of Spain and that it was more than probable that Cuba would accept the ten- der. Since the beginning of the revolution various syndicates have been the purpose of terminating the war in Cu- ha and incidentally gaining control, if not possession, of the island. The last to make such an offer was composed of about twen- tv of the most prom nent millionaires of St. Louis and of the East, represented by G. H. Ten Broeck, whose offices are in the Holland building. Mr, Ten Broeck went East several months ago, and immediately began negotiations With the Cuban Junta, Several preliminary interviews were arranged by him and others } with -Benjiamin Guerra, the treasurer of the Cuban delegation, but owing to the fact that he was suddenly called to Mexico mat- “fers were not brought to a final issue until a few davs age. The termination of the whole matter inba nutshell is that the Cuban rovisional goternment, acting through heir representd@tives in New York, has re-'! _ plans or details of the deal. the paper used to print them, but that was a chance the syndicate was most anxious to take. By risking $10,000,000 they were to formed for! stand a reasonably good chance of clearing up and realizing on $190,000,000. Treasurer Guerra listened carefully to the proposition and submitted it to the junta. The Cubans argued that the offer had come too late. Had it been proposed two years ago, before the island was laid in waste, they would have been disposed to accept it, even if they had been compelled to pledge twenty times that sum for the loan. Col. Bailey, who has an office on the same floor of the Holland, and who is very intimate with Mr. Ten Broeck, said that he had known for some time that a syndi- cate of local capitalists were behind Mr. Ten Broeck, but he claimed not to be at liberty to say who the men are. He also claimed that he is not familiar with the He said that really all he knew about it is that the deal has fallen through. -_ BUT ST. LOUIS WILL HAVE 79 HAVE ANOTHER ORDt- NANCE PASSED. THE SOCIETY WON'T DISBAND, Smoke Abatement Is All Right, With- in Bounds, Says the Attor- ney Who Fought It. ee Owing :o the decision handed down Tues- day by Judge Gantt of the State Supreme Court that the smoke ordinance of St. Louis is invalid and unconstitutional, the members of the Citizens’ Smoke Abate- ment Association held a conference on Wednesday afternoon with Attorney Eu- j; ene McQuillan, counse] for the associa- tion, and Uscussed plans for the future. Ali agreed that the association must not Go out of existence, and an effort will be made to have a proper ordinance for the abatement of smoke passed, When asked for his opinion of the re- cent decis'on and the possibility of having a legal ordinance passed for the abolition of smoke, William A. Alderson, the attorney for several concerns that have been brought into court under the old ordinance, made the following statement: “The cases of the city of St. Louis against Edward Heitzeberg Packing and Proyision Company and the city of St. Louis against the Regina Flour Mill Company were in- stituted by the city of St. Louis to punish the defendants for violation of the well- known smoke ordinance, which prohibits ‘the emission into the open air of dense black, or thick gray smoke.’ These cases originated in the police court of the city, where judgment was rendered against the defendants, and they appealed to the Court of Criminal Correction, where, on trial, Judge Murphy held that the city must show actual damage done by the smoke emitted from the establishments of the defendants, and, as such showing could not be made, udgment was rendered for the defendants. ‘rom the judgment rendered in the Court of Criminal Correction the city appealed to the Supreme Court, and, because of the importance of the question involved, the cases were transferred to court en banc. ‘Mr. Louis A. Steber represented the de- fendants, and by courtesy of Mr. Steber, }and by permission of the Supreme Court, I made an oral argument in the case in the Supreme Court, and also presented a print- ed argument, assisting Mr. Steber in behalf of the defendants. This was because the cases were presented as a test of the valid- ity of the smoke ordinance, and I had been employed by the Buck Stove and Range Co. and a dozen other manufacturing establish- ments in the city to assail the ordinance, and hud several smoke cases pending in the Court of Criminal Correction awaiting the decision of the cases in the Supreme Court, which were decided yesterday. We con- tended in the Supreme Court that the ordi- nance was invalid because unreasonable, and this is the view of the Supreme Court, as declared in its opinion. 1 know that there is not a single one of my clients who is not heartily in favor of the suppression or abatement of smoke, and who would not willingly do all that is reasonable to attain such purpose. It was not contended that the city of St. Louis could not regulate the use of soft coal, and the Supreme Court concedes such power to the city, it being declared that ‘it is entirely consistent for the city to pass a reasonable ordinance looking to the suppression of smoke when it becomes a nuisance to property or heaith or annoying to the public at large.’. There is no occasion for the Smoke Abatement Association to disband. The enactment of a reasonable or proper ordinance will ac- complish all thet could possibly be done toward the abatement of smoke. Certainly the old ordinance was most arbitrary and unreasonable, in that it did not in any way regard time, quantity or location,” HAD A DATE WITH BUNCO MEN. They Had Miller’s $20, Which They Kept, but Not So the Date. Henry Miller fron? Newark, Ark., was fleeced of $20 by bunco men within two blocks of Union Station Tuesday. Miller was his way down Market street when = gs stopped at Sixteenth street by two vn Whoraaid they were de- tectives. They accused Miller of being a notorious counterfeiter wanted in many States. Miller protested, but the men in- sisted and told him he must accompany them to headquarters. After they had walked a block or two Miller produced a $20 bill, which he said wa#al]l he had, but it was not counterfeit. The supposed detectives took the money, saying they would have it examined at the main office, and made an appointment to meet Miller at the station. They never met him, Four Books of Great Value.

According to his the- ory, these people are sufferers from various disas- trous maladies from which they gain no relief, Their surroundings eventually become unbearable to them: In their diseased imaginations they fancy everybody -'s an enemy, although surrounded by friends. Driven to despair, they at last forsake their Lomes and become wanderers on the face of the earth or else—which is very probable—commit suicide. ‘“‘Any person who ifs not in perfect health is la- ble to meet with this terrible fate. Even those who fancy themselves strong, well and mentally sound may become unhappy, morose and despair- ing. The seriousness of these facts should cause every man and woman to stop, consider and see if he or she is really well. There are so many dreadful diseases that come upon the system una- ware, that show no symptoms, but ruin the Iife even before we know it. The worst of all troubles ‘of this kind arises from uric acid poison, which, being in the blood, not only causes rheumatism, neuralgia and gout, but often affects the mind or the vital organs. Now, the cause of uric acid in the system or in the blood is because the kidneys are cither too weak or too diseased to throw it from the system. When the uric acid is not dis- and often the mind, and causes disease and too frequently death. Ld ‘Ig it not plain and simple, then, that in order to avoid moroseness, pain and often worse things, it is necessary to get rid of this uric acid? This can only be done by helping the kidneys, which may have been weakened, to throw it out, and that quickly. “You, reader, who scans these pages, may be in precisely this condition and yet not realize it, but if you are awakened and realize the sense of these great truths, you must know that there is but one great and reliable discovery of the present day that can help you in such a case and that is Warner’s Safe Cure.

There are fruits and vegetables in mar- ket for those who have money, but. the supply is not only Limited, but will continue ot be for some time, Navel oranges from California are com- ing in and bringing 50c and 75c a dozen, and they are not of very superior quality either. As for California grapes, there are plenty of them on hand and the price of 10c and 15c a pound is still maintained. Bananas will be the cheapest fruit to be had this winter. Apples, even with Mis- souri’s bountiful crop, will not be dhy cheaper to St. Louisans than they are in Eastern cities, where they have fceund great favor. As for vegetables, the thoicest to be had are home grown, hot-house products, such as radishes, cucumbers, lettuce and toma- toes. Few of these vegetables from Florida and Louisiana are in market and dealers say that the home products are so superior to any that come from the ext e South that the home brands are favored where the difference in price is not too marked. Home grown cucumbers coesnmand $1.50 a dozen and tomatoes 10c and lic a quart, and they are So large it does not take a half dozen to make that measure. The choicest lot of home grown mush- rooms are bringing 50c and Tic a pound, while Brussels sprouts bring 30c and 25c a quart, and radishes, small, are 5c a bunch.

Tt would seem on the face of things an easy matter to decide who owned any par- ticular candy store ff the parties in inter- est were put under oath and exam'ned, but a jury of twelve good men, assisted by able attorneys and the wise counsel and direc- tion of Judge John A. Talty were unable Wednesday morning to make up their minds who owned the Pearl candy store, formerly at 716 ive street. ; The sult was one of the most pecullar and complicated ones ever tried in the Cireuit Courts, S. F. Seidel obtained a judgment against J. L. Ennis for fixtures fernished the candy store. The store was damaged by fire and the insurance money was paid. Then the Pearl Candy Co was organized. wanted his money, so he attached the capi- tal stock of the company and offered it for sale after giving a sufficient indemnity bond. Mrs, Maggie Ennis, wife of J. L. Ennis, gave a forthcoming bond and stopped the sale, saying that seventy-eight of the shares belonged to ‘her and that only one belonged to Mr. Ennis. In this condition the case was moved into the Circuit Court. Seidel claimed that Ennis in reality owned the stock, having paid the money for it. Mrs. Ennis stoutly asserted that the stock belonged to her. Two days were consumed in hearing the . evidence, and then the jury locked horns on it. They talked it up and down and all around, and after about ten hours of com- pulsory association with each other they agreed that they did not know anything about the case, and that they could not pos- sibly arrive at a verdiet. The costs in the case have already amounted to more than the amount of the judgment. . ABOUT TOWN.

The special meeting of the Board of Man. agers of the St. Louis Traffic Bureau. set for Wednesday afternoon, has been post- poned on account of Tuesday's action of the Joint Traffic Association in deferring its decision fixing the time limit on trains between New York and St. Louls. The protest of the local business inter- ests was placed before the association at its meeting in New York Tuesday. The attitude of St. Louis merchants in combat- ing an excess charge of $1 for each hour under thirty hours between New York and St. Louis, wag ably defended by President Thompson of the Pennsylvania lines and President Ingalls of the Big Four. The question was carried over until the third Tuesday in December. Chairman C. H. Spencer of the Board of Managers of the St. Louis Traffic Bureau said ednesday: “T have now no doubt St. Louls will get what she wants. All we ask is the main- tenance of present rates. The Traffic Bu- reau’s prompt and energetic’ action and the friendly attitude of Mr. Ingalls and Mr. Thompson will result in a decision favore able to St. Louis.”’ —— os ee — as race for. women. seven greatest FIVE OF THE GREATEST FEMALE BICYCLISTS WILL MEET IN THE COLISEUM not accustomed to riding on saucer-shaped tracks, and were they to contest with the St. Louls ig to have a six days’ bicycle It will bring here the female bicycle riders in America, and for the first time these seven women will meet on the same track and in the 6ame races.

The Smoke Abatement Association has done good work for St. Louls and it is a pity that the Supreme Court has put a stop to that work by deciding that the present anti-smoke law is defective. The immediate result of the decision is likely to be a large increase in the murki- ness of St. Louis’ atmosphere, with a corresponding increase in the death rate from pulmonary and kindred diseases. Unless such an ordinance is soon passed as will abate the smoke and stand the test of an appeal to the Supreme Court, St. Louis will suffer in health, in wealth, in attractiveness and in favor as a resi- dence city. There is no reason why such a law should not be framed and passed. It should be as searching and severe as is compatible with actual conditions. It should not be open to the charge of ig- noring the possible. After taking into consideration what can be done, it should define what must not be done. In the language of the Supreme Court, it must be a “reasonable” law. Such laws usual- ly stand. St. Louis cannot afford to be a wide- open town in rezard to smoke any more than in the matter of gambling or any other evil that a modern city should be ashamed of. There are a number of inventions that can and-.do abate smoke. Every factory, mill, business house and public building should be required to do its best in applying the existing remedies. It is to the interest of every owner of a furnace plant to abate the smoke, which means loss in fuel. — —_—o- — The talk of abolishing the House of Delegates comes naturally enough. Intelligence but little above that of an idiot would recognize the nuisance, yet the common lawW knows nothing about it and it is not declared a nuisance by any statute of the State. So the smoke nuisance is under the pro- tection of the Supreme Court. The dis- gust of every citizen who has any idea of justice or cleanliness will be emphatically expressed at this barbarous condition. i The Dingley bill has not stopped the importation of Mexican cattle, as Mr. Dingley expected.

Municipal legislatures are everywhere de- nounced as being corrupt and with giving away natural monopolies for inadequate consideration (or proposing to do;so) and in defiance of law or popular protest. In- stance the recent gas-works lease in Phil- adelphia and some of the proposed street railway measures in our own v4 Under existing conditions the following re- cent editorial in the Post-Dispatch deserves special attention: In his New York address on municipal govern- ment, Gov. Pingree of Michigan added to the story of his own remarkable achievements in Defroit some excellent counsel with regard to franchise granting and municipal government. The meat of his talk is embodied in the following paragraph: “As to a remedy for those evils, my experience has brought me to the cenclusion that the streets of a city belong to the people, and that,no Mayor or Common Council has a right to barger them away. The remedy against many of thise evils is municipal ownership and entire abolition of ronopolies, or, if monopolies must exist, which depend npon publie favor, their absolute control by and dependence upon the people. This remedy will not only solve many municipal problems, but will bring other agencies of commerce under proper subjection. We are jobbing out the sovereign power of the people to speculators. My expert- ence is.that those who stand foremost ip the Synagogue of a Sunday and are engaged the rest of the week in bribing aldermen or getting up stock jobbing schemes to defraud widows and or- phans are the most dangerous members of 60- ciety.’’ this platform has accom- plished wonders for Detroit. The same excellent results ean be accomplished here in St. Louis if the people take up the matter and enforce hon- est, sensible methods. Would it not be well for the Civic Fed- eration to base its action on such princi- ples as the following: First—All municipal natural monopolies, such as street railways, gas, electric lights, ete., should be owned and operated by the municipality, as Gov. Pingree suggests. Second—The merit system in the munici- pal service for all appointive offices, with fewer employes and better salaries.

Ordinance 17008, sec. 2, required the Man- chester Road Electric Railway Co. (which road is now part of the Suburban system), to grade the streets upon which its tracks were laid from building line to building line at its own cost and expense; but the company put down its tracks without com- plying with this charter requirement.

Benedict Marvels at the Ignos rance of Some Persons. Silas Benedict, superintendent of the Fire Alarm Telegraph, is in despair over the ignorance of many people regarding fire alarms. “It seems to me that intelligent person@ Ought to understand plain English,” said he. “On all our keyless boxes are signs saying ‘Open the door and pull the hook.’ “There is one of those boxes near my home. There was also a woodshed fire near my house. The alarm was a long time i! getting in and, as usual, this o and the department were blamed. I investigat- ed ard found out the truth. “Three men declared that they each turned in an alarm, so I question them. They all did the same thing. They rushed up to the keyless box and turned the handle, so that the bell in the door rang out nice and loud. They thought that was all that was required. It is not. That gong in the door has nothing to do with the alarm proper. It is merely to attract attention te the fact that someone is fooling with the box. The alarm is not turned in until the hook is pulled. “T want to insist that this fact be kept constantly before t pubic, Pull that hook! Don’t be afraid to pull it. Two or three pulls from the same box are not go- ing to hurt anything. Only the fire know how to turn in a second or gene alarm.

Her Fair Presence Inspired Her Hus- band’s Side and Made Them Win Easily. MT. PLEASANT, Io.; Nov. 17.—‘Oh, I knew he could do it.”’ It was Jessie Lincoln Beckwith, whose ex- clamation of delight caught the attention of the crowd out to witness the foot ball game between the Iowa Wesleyan team and the Keokuks, for Warren Wallace Beckwith had just made a forty-yard dash around the left end of the big medicos and scored the first touchdown for the Wesleyans. Beckwith was playing the game of his life, and, inspired by the presence of his young bride, put up a game of foot ball that has never been equaled in this city. Whether the rest of the team was !nspired by the same fair presence is not known, but the big fellows from Keokuk, flushed with recent victories and averaging twenty pounds per man heavier than Vesleyan, went down to defeat. Beckwith’s side in fact won in a walk, At the end of the game the score stood 48 to 0 in favor of the Wesleyans, and _ over half of the points were gathered in by Beck- with alone. There was a big crowd of enthusiastic spectators, but none more proud than the daughter of the ex-Secretary of War, Rob- ert T. Lincoln. During the first part of the game she watched the struggle from a car- riage, but as the excitement grew more in- tense she left the carriage, and with sev- eral girl friends followed along the side lines the struggling players. . Onee when Beckwith was temporarily dis- abled she pushed her way in to see how badly hurt he was, and during the entire game she never lost sight of him. The heavy Mne of the visitors proved to be somewhat of an obstruction to the home team, and most of the playing devolved up- on the half-backs, Beckwith and Hustin. a was given all the work he want- was brilliant and most effective. At the | of the game he was lifted to the shoulde:is of the howling mob of en- thusiasts and carried off the field. The:day hed been a quiet one for the Beckwiths. At noon they lunched with Senator Harlan, the grandfather of ‘the bride. Young Beckwith had declined to play, but it is said that at-lunch the Sen- ator requested Beckwith to play. The Senator was formerly President of the college, and takes great satisfaction in the work of the foot bal] team. It is stated that when he learned that on account of the comparatively light weight of the team the absence of Beckwith would imperil its success he requested his new grandson-in- law to lay aside h's dignity and battle once more for the glory of lL. W. U. Beckwith consented and played hig etar game. Mrs. Beckwith rode out to the field in the family carriage and was accompanied by her mother-in-law, Mrs. Beckwith. oa oO a WILL PLAY SUNDAY GAMES. His pl That Is What the Pittsburg Club Will Do Next Summer. Special to the Post-Dispatch. PITTSBURG, Pa., Nov. 17.~To-day Pres- ident Will H. Watkins of the Pittsburg Club practically admitted that the team will play Sunday ball away from home next season. He sald: _“l can see no harm in a club playing on Sunday. It is agreed by the best people in the West that the games were orderly and no fault could be found against the practice on this score. Ministers in Western cities have been quoted as favoring the games, They felt that it was better for people to witness some quiet, respectable diversion than spend their time in drinking and card-playing resorts. I think the same way. Suppose Pittsburg should play on Toreign grounds; the act would bring uno d'shonor to the town. Other Eastern ciubs Brookiyn, Baltimore, ete., have teams Which play away from home on Sunday and no objection is made.

The recent death of the great colt, Mal- vollo, calls to mind a race last summer where the ride a jockey put up on that horse cost the owner $10,000 in hard cash, “hat is what Jockey Joe Scherrer cost Johnnie Fay when he rode Malvolio in the Kentucky Central stakes. Malvolio won the race, but was disquali- fied. Had Scherrer got off with him and not run him into every possible pocket he would have won so far off that there would havé been no chance of giving the race to any other animal in the field. It now transpires that the sum Mr. Fleischmann was to pay was $9,000, tefore the race was run'Mr. Fleischmann asked Mr. Henry Wemhoff, who is Mr. Fay’s partner, to piace a price on the colt. ‘Ten thousand dollars is what wiil buy him,’’ said Mr. Wemhoff. ‘Tl want to know whether he !{s fit and well,” said Mr. Fleischmann, ‘SHis run in the stake this afternoon will determine that fact,’’ said Mr. Wembhoff. ‘‘All right. Uf he wins the stake l’il give you $9,000 for him,” said Mr. Fleischmann. “No, his price is $10,000," insisted Mr. Wemhoff. ‘Kur the stake is worth over $1000. So if you win and I give you $9,000 you will really be getting $10,000 for him,’ insisted Mr. Fleischmann. “All right. It’s a bargain,’’ responded Mr. Wemhoff. Weil, the stake was run, and it is not necessary to report how the colt was dis- qualified. A stake of $1200 was taken away from Mr. Fay, and he was robbed of a chance to pick up $9,000in cash.

Harry V. Lueas is to-day Chief Consul of the Missouri Division of the League of American Wheelmen. The election took place from November 1 to 15, inclusive, and the ballot boxes were opened in Secretary Rosen’s office yester- day. There being no other candidate, Mr. Lucas was, of course, elected by the full vote of the League. Mr. Lucas, when ‘seen to-day, said: “While already elected Chief Consul of the Missouri Division I will not take hold of the office until December 1. I will then open a regular down-town headquarters from where al] the League business will be transacted and which will be the regular news and business bureau of the organiza- ‘tion. While in office I will do my best to keep the organization free from entangle- ments with the racing men. In fact I am in favor of making the racing a separate department entirely from the other. The League, in other words, as an organization, I think should let the racing feature alone and devote its time to the building up of the whole organization, to the securing of go00d roads and all that sort of thing. To do that it will have its hands full.” When Mr. Lucas takes hold on December 1 Mr, Robert Holm will retire from the Vice consulship and carry with him the well wishes of all having the good of Di- cycling at heart, for while, during his term of office, Mr. Holm may have made mis- takes they were errors of the head and not of the heart.

THE RESULT WAS A LAW SUIT. Jury Agrees That the Cass Avenue Grocers Must Pay the Chi- cago Scale Makers. Ludlow & Co., scalemakers of Chicago, re- covered a judgment in Judge Withrow’s court Wednesday morning against Kloster- man & Bros., grocers, 1640 Cass avenue, for the price of one of the “‘ ’97 model” scales. The case is funny in some respects, and shows the fateh that the Klostermans have in the mechanical inventions of the nine- teenth century. An agent of Ludiow & Co. came to them with a sample of the “ '97 model’’ scale. It was a small counter scale with a platform, and three weight beams instead of only one as on ordinary scales. By an adjustment of the weights along the bars the scales do sums in simple arithmetic and show the total price of so many pounds of goods at a given price per pound. That is all the makers claim for thé scales. They will show the cost of any weight of goods at from 3 to © cents a pound. The agent showed the Klostermans just how it worked and the rere so ares with it that they ordered one for $75. The scale was duiy delivered and set up and then the trouble began. The scales worked all right on elmple problems of straight multiplication. Then camea rush of business. A little girl came in with a very innocent proposition. Her mother wanted her to get a dime’s worth of butter. She had the dime and the bucket to carry the butter in. One of the Klosterman boys put the bucket on the scales and then tried to figure it out. Butter was 17% cents a pound and at 17% cents a pound how much would 10 cents worth be on the scales. The problem was more than the scales could solve, so the Klostermans got mad and sent them back to ihe makers, saying they were no good. A jury heard the whole story and decided that the scales were just what they were represented to be, but that they could not work miracles. The fury agree that the Klostermans must pay for the scales. CONCESSION 10 THE MINORITY. Solid Seventeen So Strong It Can Af- ford to Yield a Point. The ‘Solid Seventeen” made a significant concession to the minority in the House of Delegates Tuesday night, which is con- strued by friends of the administration to mean that the minority is weakening. It hag been the persistent course of Speak- er Lehmann not to recognize the opposi- tion on important committees, but that pol- icy was irelaxed last night when a resolu- tion was! passed to appoint a committee of five to revise the rules of the House. Mr. Wittenberg was the author of the resolution and was named chairman of the committee, with Hartman, Bersch, Schuler and Sweeney as members. Schuler and Sweeney have been regarded as two of the most unyielding members of the opposi- tion. Should the defection of Schuler and Sweeney prove genuine it is likely that the scheme to reorganize the House will fail through.

COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 17.—Signs of a hard winter to come to his rescue, Official word from Washington was receive meets in January, and that its disposal then w lt is expected that this will enable Hanna to ho Hanna. for him. It’s the same game that was played resulted in the defeat of Senator John Sherman, t and managed the patronage deal witht Notwithstanding the Presidential tow-line to the Hanna chariot, the indications are “that he will lose the Senatorial race. If the Veraker men count rightly on their strength, and the indications are that they do, a pian will be crowded through the Legislature Which will be far reaching in its conse- quences. Fhey claim a tota] strength in the Iegislature of seventeen members of the House of Representatives and three @enators. With this nucleus they will not find it at all hard to accomplish the:r ends. They do not expect to receive any help from the Democrats beyond a possible two or three scattering votes. It their belief that the moment the standard of rebellion against Mark Hanna’s autocratic rule is hoisted thelr cause will receive constant accessions. There are many men in the Legislature, they say, who have not the nerve to come out openly to oppose Mr. Hanna. But if others will bell the Hanna cat they will be but too glad to follow. There are certain things which the For- aker men believe will be the result of their fight against Hanna in the Legislature this winter. 1. Hanna will be defeated, and with h’‘s defeat his power ie shattered. The Federal / patronage which would have been distribu- ted by him will go to the faithful followers of Mr. Foraker. 2 Gov. Bushnell will be elected to the ~——UNFAILING SIGNS OF A HARD WINTER but FOP BOSS. HANNA IV OHIO — mn 7, rit | i / bs Election to the Senate. long term as United States Senator, and some other good Republican to the short term. Hon. C. L. Kurtz, Mayor McKisson of Cleveland, Hon. C. P. Griffin of Toledo and one or two more are spoken of in this connection. 8. Mr. Foraker’s position will be so strengthened that tf he wishes he can be the candidate of the Republican party for President in 1900. If he does not wish that he can at least be certain of re-election as Senator, 4. Hon. Asa Jones, the present Lieutenant- Governor, will be put in the line of suc- cession to political honors. His present position has been called the “graveyard of statesmen.’ No one was ever elected Gov- ernor of the State who held that position. But if Mr. Jones is made Governor of the State, succeeding to that. position on the resignation of Gov, Bushnell to accept the Senatorship, he igs once more in direct con- nection with the office, and is the natural nominee of the Republican. party for the gubernatorial nomination two years hence, 56. With the help of the Democrats in the General Assembly, any legislation wanted by McKesson of Cleveland, Jones in To- ledo, the Democrats in Columbus, or the anti-Cox element in Cincinnati will be put through, and the leaders in the different cities will thus strengthen their power. 6. In return for the Democratic support, which will be necessary to the success of this scheme, a portion of the organization 4 to-day that no more Ohio patrona il! il] depend upon the part taken by the different leaders in the fight fon or against Mark ld a club over those members of the Legislature who hesitate to get in line so successfully in the Sherman-Foraker contest of 1891, which otherwise would have hen a candidate for re-election.

Alex Caine in the Senate, will be fed to the pigs. Their places will be filled by either Demo- crats or independent Republicans. Other places in the organization will be appor- tioned in the same manner. The independ- ent Republicans and the Democrats will get all the goods. The Hanna men will have nothing. 7. There are various fat committeeships. No one knows just why they are fat, or if they “do know they Keep quiet. But’ the chairman and members of these committees do not lose money by ‘their connection with them. These committees will be placed in the hands of independent Republicans and eae nee and the Hanna men will be arred. 8. As a material reward to the Democrats for acquiescing in the election of a Repub- lican Senator, place will be made in the va- rious public institutions of the State for cer- tain Democrats whom the Republican party will be delighted to honor. There are Hanna men now in who will be turned out, unless ioe are good, May be they will be fired any- ow. None of the details of this scheme have been definitely arranged as yet. It is only looming up in the fog, almost stupenous in vastness. The Democrats see that they have nothing to lose, as ‘they can by no possi- bility elect a United States Senator. On the other hand, by defeating Hanna they accom- plish the main purpose of the campaign, and, along with it, acquire places in the Leg- islature that could under no other circum- Stances have been given to them. Confer- ence and caucus are now the order of the day. When the details have been perfected will be time to speak further of them. It is only the design at present to hint tthe out- lines of the plan.

Ridicule, However, Is Not Argument and Facts Are Stubborn Things. Stomach troubles are so common and in many cases so obstinate to cure that people are apt to look with suspicion on any remedy claiming to be a radical, per- manent cure for dyspepsia and indigestion. Many such fride themselves on their acuteness in never being humbugged, es- pecially on medicines. This fear of being humbugged may be carried too far; so far, in tact, that many persons sulfer for years with weak diges- tion rather. than risk a little time and money in iaithtully testing the claims ofa preparation so reliable and universally used as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. Now Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets are vastly different in one important respect from ordinary proprietary medicines for the reason that they are not a secret pat- eut medicine, no secret is made of their ingredients, but analysis shows them to contain the natural digestive ferments, pure aseptic. pepsin, the digestive acids, Golden Seal, bismuth, hydrastis and nux, They are not cathartic, neither do they act poweriully on any organ, but they cure indigestion on the common-sense plan of digesting the food eaten promptly, thoroughly beiore it has time to ferment, sour and cause the mischiet. This is the only secret of their success. Cathartic pills never have and never can cure indigestion and stomach troubles be- Cause they act entirely upon the bowels, whereas the whole trouble is really in the stomach. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, taken after ieals, digest the food. That;is all there sto it. Food not digested or hali di- ested is poison as it creates pas, acidity, Eaetaches, palpitation of the heart, loss of flesh and appetite, and many other trou- bles which are often called by some other fiaine. They are sold by druggists everywhere at 5° cents per package. Address Stuart Co., Marshall, Mich., for book on stom- @ch diseases or ask your druggist for it.

Her superb voice, her fascinating half- oriental dances, , her caressing gestures, her black eyes, irresistible mirth—these, and the indescr:bable something more, make up the dazzling personation by which the artist has made her name famous in every part of the world. Her marvelous artist temperament has made her a great actress, but this brings its own price, and as great hearts know great griefs, great temperaments must know great nervous strain, consequently, there are periods of nervous prostration and unfulfilled engagements when impatient audiences are apt to forget these extenuat- ing circumstances. Calve’s absolute reliance on Paine’s cel- ery compound at all such times of low nervous energy appears in the following letter: Boston, Mass., March, 1897. I am convinced, that Paine’s celery com- pound is the greatest nerve strengthener that can be obtained. I can vouch for its wonderful health-giving power. EMMA CALVE.

FIVE-CENT SHELTER IS READY. | Preparations for Dedicating the New Rescue Home by Commander Booth-Tucker. In anticipation of a severe winter and the resultant necessities of extreme poverty, the Salvation Army has mapped out a line of secular work of unusual extent and char- acter. Major Miles, the new commander, has the arrangements in hand. He isa bright, earnest, active littke campaigner. He has a literary head and face, talks briskly and in the straightforward manner of a business maf. 2 “Our plans are going forward rapidly, he said Wednesday to a Post-Dispatch re- porter, “and in a short time we will have our programme of operations for the win- ter in working order. “We have a proposition pending to rent an additional building in the vicinity of Valentine street, where we expect to open hortly a free hospital and dispensary.

The la- dies of St. ouis will tender Mrs. Booth- Tucker a reception, perhaps at the South- ern Hotel, on the afternoon of Degember 15. The Commander will conduct the rescue demonstration that night at Music Hall, and afterwards will deal with his coloniza- tion scheme. “The rescue work is peculiarly suecessful with us. In one country alone last year, 1,630 women passed through our homes, Of this number 1,432 were satisfactory and only 201 unsatisfactory. This is a big percentage of good. Our average of rescues per year, in all countries, is 3,000. themselves contributed from their wages $300 to the support of the homes in which they had once beeen installed while they were starting upon the new life.” Maj. Miles says that since coming to St. Louis a few days ago he has been working night and day to inaugurate his new plans, review the field and become acquainted with his work. He held a grand council of war Wednesday at the headquarters on Frank- lin _— and will be out of town next week. JOHN CALVERT WAS HUNGRY. Because His Food Was Cold He As- saulted His Parents. When John Calvert, aged 29, reached his home Tuesday afternoon he began yelling for something to eat. His old mother cailed to him, and said he had come too late for dinner but that she had saved something for him and wes keeping ft warm in the stove. The food was placed before him, but he threw it into the vard, declaring itt was cold. Then he asked his mother for cents with which to go out and buy something. His mother said she had no money, and he attempted to strike her. The old lady screamed and Calvert's father went to her rescue. The son turned on him and chased him through the house. Mrs. Calvert called an officer, and when Policeman Dunn attempted to arrest John, he resisted and ran away. He was cap- tured not\far~ from the house. Acting Judge Sommers Was indignant when he heard the testimony Monday morning. He said he thought Judge Zim- erman would be severe if he were on the ench, and that he would do what Judge Zimmerman would like to have done. He therefore fined Calvert $25 for d'!sturbin the peace of his mother and father and $ for resisting an officer.

BRAVE OFFICER'S FUNERAL. Police Authorities to Honor the Mem- ory of the Patrolman Slain by a Highwayman. The police have made little progress in their search for the companions of J‘m Sheldon, who robbed Groceryman Hetbel and murdered Patrolman Nick Hunt Mon- day night. Sheldon is being industriously ‘‘culti- vated’ by Chief Desmond, who places h'm in the “sweat-box’’ several times a day in the hope of inducing the prisoner to reveal the identity of his companions, Sheldon stoutly sticks to his original statement that he met them only a few hours before the hold-up. Among the fifty or more suspects arrested in the general round-up following the mur- der, William Hodges was the only one held for further investigation. Hodges was ar- rested at 935 North Broadway. It is said he was only recently released from the House of Refuge, and his brother rank was sent to the penitentiary a week ago for burglary and larceny. The landlady of the house where Hodges was arrested said he was out Monday night until 10 o’clock, and was soaking wet when he came home. He has an aunt living near where the robbery was committed. The remainder of the suspects were either released outright or sent to the police court Wednesday, where they were given hours to leave town. The Board of Police Comm'issioners at the meeting Tuesday adopted the following res- Olutions: Whereas, This board has. been informed that Patrolman Nicholas Hunt, of the Central Police District, came to his death this morning from a gun- shot wound inflicted by murderous highweymen, who had just previously held up and robbed several persons; and, Whereas, Officer Hunt captured one of the bigh- waymen and was in the act of pursning the other two when wounded to death; therefore, be it unanl- mously Resolved, by the Board, That we, in_meeting as- semmbled, this, the 16th day of Nog@jmber, 18%, recoghizing the courageous bravery of icer Hunt, herewith express our keen sorrow and regret st lis untimely taking off; aud do proclaim that his he- roic bearlmg in the discharge of police duty was wortby of a better end than that of assassination; and be it further Resolved, That our condolences be tendered to the wife of the deceased inthis, her hour of sorrow; that we attend the funeral of deceased in a body and that the Chief of Police be instructed to fur- nish a detail of officers and ove Captain in attend- ance at the funeral; and, further, that a copy of these resolutions be spread upon our imivutes, a copy be furnished to the Chief of Police for dls- semination throughont the department, and also that a copy be'sent to the widow of the deceased. The funeral services of the dead officer will be held Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the residence, 212 Wash street, to St. Bridget’s Church, thence to Calvary Ceme- tery. The Mayor and Commissioners wil! leave the Vice-President’s office at Sixth and Olive streets in carriages: A detail of twenty-five patrolmen, two sergeants and at 1:15 Thursday, in carriages, to accompany the funeral cortege. This detail will be headed by Chiefs Harrigan and Desmond. The Police Commissioners, in addition to expressing their sympathy in resolutions, ave aiso determined to money contribution to t dead officer in recognition ravery. It is also said that leave wi e granted to such members of the department as wish to contribute to a fund. The inquest has been postponed for a day or two to permit the authorities further time to apprehend Sheldon’s accomplices. The jury was sworn over the body Wednes- day morning. TOO MANY FOR ONE HOUSE the Little family of the McCloskey’s Family Want Family Arrested. A police summons was issued Wednesday for Burt Little, aged 12 years, and his mother, Mrs. Jennie Little, residing at 2007 Newstead avenue. The eomplainants are Frank McCloskey and his wife, who live upstairs over the Littles, Mrs. McCloskey says young Little tor- ments her by ringing her door bell at ail hours of the night, and pounding on the floor above her with @ strck. “It's all done for mischief,” said Mrs. McCloskey to City Attorney Dodge, “and Mrs. Little is as troublesome as her children. She upholds her son in everything he does. Whenever I complain she tells me to g0 about my business, and anyway I'm nothing but com. mon Irish. Yesterday she disturbed my peace by calling me names. I couldn't stand it any longer, and now I intend to make Mrs. Little and her boy pay for their annoyance.” JOHN SHEA FINED. An Alleged Accomplice Discharged on the Evidence.

Louis Seibt, the King o*% “Tittle Okla- | homa,” after a more or less turbulent reign of nine years, has become firmly settled on his throne, a contentious constabulary hav ‘ng been subjected by certain treaties which will remain in force for a term of years, The King will now proceed to beautify the royal demesne and make the dump- piles and houseboat laden mud-banks things of beauty. The King iniends to create a resort to which St. Louisans may “point with pride.” ”_—— — : LOUIS (King of 358 SEIBT. Little Oklahoma.) has set his subjects to work cutting large willows up the river. These he will transport in the ships of his fleet and re- plant around his castle, thus forming a beautiful grove. Under the shades of these willows tables and chairs will be set and ambrosia will be served to visitors at the True Manliness Replaces the Worn Out Nerves and Vigor. REMARKABLE REMEDY THAT MAKES A MAN YOUNG AGAIN. meee - 5 ree Thousands of men are to-day paying the penalty of earlier inattention to theirs strength. They have gone for years gradually burning out the fire of natural vigor when suddealy they bresk down. They look fairly well; there is not much outward evidence of decay, but the mind knows all about it. It is a peculiar form of Weakness; produces a certain sensitiveness that completely upsets 8 man: and makes him feel that life has lost a goodly part of its brightness. There is a simple home treatment put up bS A well-known institu- tion of Kalamezoo, Mich., that imparts a wonder ful degree of strength to men who are sexually weak.

In addition g canvae roof will be erected, lest it rain and his loyal subjects become wet, outside as well as in. The King, with an eye to health and san- Itation, will also erect three bath-houses on the river front, where his subject may take &@ swim without fear of the police. Each bath-house will accommodate forty bathepe and a nominal charge of 5 cents will be gfiade, including the use of towels and bathing trunks. Nor is this all. The King will overhaul his vessel, “Pride of St. Louis,” and change its motive power from gas engine to steam. He has a captain’s oeuse and will pilot the boat himself. It will be used to convey his subjects from the city wharf to the royal pleasure grounds, thereby saving them the walk from Broadway and Angelrodt streets, over unromantic mud heaps and garbage pits, and the debris of canned goods. , Phere has been one obstacle in the way of Planting the grove. This hae been the unwel- come tenancy of Rev. John Ramsey, col- ored, a ragpicker on week days and a preacher on Sundays. Mr. Ramsey dared to defy the King’s power and was served with a writ of eject- ment. But his estate was {n his wife’s name, so the proceedings fell through. Since then the cause has been revived, the ground rent of 50 cents a month has been refused by his majesty, and Justice Hammon will soon ren- der a decision in the premises. With the Ramsey faction eliminated, the work of jm- provement will be vigorously pushed, and next summer the reservation will blossom as the rose, The King was found surrounded by his Satelites, Tuesday evening. He corrected some erroneous impressions which prevail about Little Oklahoma. “Little Oklahoma,” he said, “is the one spot in St. Louis, perhaps in the whole world, where‘everybody lives in peace and harmony, and does to others as he would be done by. No one steals here. You can leave your ax or your pocket-knife on the ground, and it will be safe. The people here are men of independence and freedorn, who prefer not to be cramped up in tene- ments and alley dens. “Here they can live and have room to breathe at a rental of 50 cents a month, There are all kinds of peo- ple here. Some work in rolling mills, soma are railroad men, soars are roustabouts, and from them up to’captains. I am a li- censed captain myself,” he added, with par- donable pride. Here is my picture in my captain’s uniforen, I was a roustabout once, and I have climbed up to be a captain. “T have been arrested fifty-three times for running a saloon and they have never col- lected 58 cents from me. I have been ing here for nine years. I offered to pay li- cense over and over again, but they never would take it from me, claiming that owned no property here. As a compromise with the law, 1 have now leased this ground from ex-Gov. Francie and Mr. Maffitt, who claim to own it, and now they can’t molest me. “T have been running this place under a license since June and there has never been a werd wrong, or an arrest made.” Just then a traveling hou@eboatman en- tered, to ask permission te tie up te the bank. ‘‘How much do you charge to tie up?’’ “Twenty-five cents a month. If you pull up on the bank it will be 50 cents.’ “T won't tle up. I want to sell my boat.”’ “Then just tie up till you sell, then you'll have more money to spend, All t ask is that you buy what hey need from me.”’ ‘“T will buy what you have,” said the new- comer,and as the king had beer,the stranger bought a can for a starter. “You see that’s the way we treat them,” said the king. “They treat me right and I treat them white, but if they get gay and say they have as much right here ag me, why I show them,” and he shook his fist tn the direction of the shanty-boat occupied by Rev. John Ramsey, ragpicker and preacher, WOULDN'T BE WHITEWASHED. “Butch” Wagner Says He Might Have Held His Job. “IT have had enough of pelitics for the present, and I intend to go to work mak- ing money,’ said Louls Wagner, the recent- ly deposed Jailer of St. Louis. “Butch” is more communicative to news- paper reporters now than he was while holding the reins of authority in the jail. “Il am giad to be out of the jail, no mat- ter what people may think abeut it, and I am giad to get back to the butcher busi- ness. My old stand tn South St. Louis its leased, and I can’t get it back until my ten: ant’s time is out. Until then I am going to run a shop Im some central locality down town. “While in the jail I had as much trouble as a tran could have, and none of it was caused by any fault of mine.

When anyone spoke to me in natural tones I could hear the sound, but could not distinguish what Was Monotonous Humming Noises in my ears troubled me constantly and kept me awake at night. One of Doctor Copeland's lectures upon the condition of impaired hearing relates solely to head noises (condition known by the doctors as Tinnitus Auri- um). This paper will be mailed free to any eddress. “Six years ago I was permanently cured of another trouble by the Copela ph clans, su I went to them for my deafness and ringing noises. After I had taken the i(reatment several weeks one day, just efter taking treatment, My Hearing Came Back in an Instant. The voice of the doctor talking te me seemed to become very loud and the com- motion on the street suddenly became a roar. The humming noises have entirely stopped.”’ Deafness Cured, ” Resumed Business. W. R. Read, Belleview, Mo.: “I am forty-nine years of age, and for twenty- five years had been Absolutely Stone Deaf in my right ear, and some time Oo my left ear also began to get very flea? “IT had to sell out my business on account of deafness. ‘Besides the deafness, I suffered with Ringing Noises in the Head, which were exceedingly troublesome. They bothered me at all times, and kept me awake nights. “Doctor Copeland restored my hearing and I have again embarked in the mercantile business.”’ A Lesson on the Time It Takes je Cure. Miss Emma Fleming, : Lindell avenue: “For eight years I suffered with deafness. which qreduaky became worse and worse until had to quit teaching school. “I did not dare go on the street without some one accompanied me “] faithfully and conscientiously followed the course prescribed for months; and though sometimes 1 became a little dis- heartened, yet I never gave up and now my expectations are fully real for the Copeland physicians heave treated me verfect succens. h “My restored bearing fe a grand re- ward for the time and smal! expense I have given to the cure, and reflects the highest credit on the ability ead | skill of the Copeland physicians.’ THE RINGING WORDS OF CURED PATIENTS.

He gave her all kinds of nasty medicines—cod liver oil, etc., and said that she might live until the leaves came out. Five years ago she had scarlet fever, which left her with roynes of the heart, throat and stomach, After eating she would be- come sick and turn ghastly white and drops of perspiration would start out all over her bedy.

EATS HEARTILY, TALKS INCES- SANTLY AND MAKES REMARKS ABOUT OTHER PRISONERS. X GALLOWS. Test OF TRE The Rope Is That With Which the Gypsy, Worten, Was to Have Been Hanged—Guards on the Death Watch. This is the last day on earth for Tom Johnson, alias Henry Clay. Thursday he will be hanged for the murder of William Amend, a newsboy. Those who have visited him believe he does not realize that within a few hours he must surrender his life He is calm, talks incessantly and seems to enjoy the attentions given him, During Wednesday he occupied a seat in front of his cell—the condemned man’s cell, No. 45—with a deputy sheriff on either side of him. Occasionally, a8 some prisoner with whom Clay had fought in jail, passed his cell, the negro would turn to one of the deputy sheriffs and say: “There’s a nice stiff,”” or ‘‘What do you think of that corpse?’ or “That’s a bum thief.’’ Besides this show of venom the feeling that there is a life beyond the gallows has imbued the murderer and for two weeks he has been in daily communication with Father McErhane. Clay was baptized a Catholic after his indictment. Now he says he is a good Catholic and he believes that all of his sins have been forgiven. For breakfast Wednesday Clay ate a slice of ham, three fried eggs, three corn- meal cakes, a plate of fried potatoes and drank a pot of coffee. Then he smoked a « gar and buckled on his wooden leg. Af- ter that he called for a bill of fare, and this is what he ate for dinner: Roast duck with jeily, toast; roast sir- loin of beef, brown potatoes, sweetbreads with dressing, young radishes, celery and reen onions; coffee with a drop of brandy; emon pie and layer cake, nute. He asked for turkey, but there was none on the bill of fare. Nearly every one who called on h.m gave him a cigar, shook hands with him and asked him how he wee feeling. He always said, ‘“Purty The gallows will be oiled and tested Wednesday afternoon. Chief Deputy Sheriff Adolph Troll, assisted by Deputy Andy Langford, will have charge of the execu- tion. Jailer Huebler, who is experienced in making executions, will give instructions. The rope that was made for the gypsy, Andrew Worten will be used for Clay. The test will be a drop of six feet with a 130 pound sandbag. Sheriff Henry Troll will enter the jail shortly before 6 a. m., Thursday, and will read the death warrant to Clay. When that is finished, the march to the gallows will take place. The execution will be but a mat- ter of a few minutes. Father McErlane is expected to walk with Clay to the scaffold and give him the last benediction of the Catholic Church. The death watch with Clay Wednesday was: From 6 a. m. to noon, Deputies Schus- ter and J. Troll; noon to 6 p. m., Deputies Paul and Amann, Wednesday night the guard will be: 6 p. m. to midnight, Brock- achmidt and Dye, and the final watch, mid- night to 6 a. m., Deputies Langford and Becker, who will also escort the negro to the. scaffold.

Three juries in the United States District Court have heard the case charging Charles H. Kearns with forging D. C. Moorhead’s name to a money order. Each time a mistrial has been the result. The jury could not agree. The case was last tried before Judge Adams Monday. It had been heard on Friday of last week and when the jury announced that it could not agree Judge Acams ordered that it be retired at once. When the last jury failed to agree the court continued the case to he next term. The case is out of the usual. In October, 1896, Moorhead lived at 612 Taylor avenue. He was amperes by a dairy company. Kearns lived with him, but was out of employment. Kearns had access to the house at all times. Moorhead told him he expected a omen oy money order and when it came he would lend the proceeds is friend. “i order did not come, and when Moor- nee’ investigated he found that it had al- r it. He at once suspected Kearns and had him arrested. Kearns denied the charge. The Government tried to show that no one but Kearns had an opportunity to get hold of the order. Then Moorhead’s 8.¢- nature was the exact counterpart of the same name written by Kearns elsewhere, F. W. H. Wiesehahn, an expert on hand- writing, swore that the forged signature could not be written by anyone’ save Kearns. The clerk who cashed the money order could not identify Kearns as the one who received the money.

SQUARE HIM JOHN SCULLIN DROPPED IN TO SEE THE MEN WHO GIVE FRANCHISES. HAD BEEN MISREPRESENTED. ee Railway Magnate Assures Members of the Council That He Never Spoke Disrespectfully of Them. It had been a long time since John Scul- Council, but he was at Tuesday’s session and came early. There was a special meeting of the com- mittee on railroads at 3:30 o’clock and it was supposed that the street railway mag- nate had some business before it, but he had not. One of the first men to greet him as he entered Secretary Graves’ office was Col. Ed Butler, who is not nearly as frequent a visitor to the municipal legislative cham- bers as he used to be. “Why, I thought you had grown too good and virtuous to be seen in this unholy pre- cinct,” said Col, Butler, with a twinkle in his eye. “Tt is because of the unwarranted mis- representations of myself by a morning paper in that regard that I am here now,” was the rather serious reply of Col. Scullin. “T was never more amazed and hurt in my life when I read what purported to be an interview with me last Sunday. I deemed it my duty to come here and personally assure Counciimen and Delegates, whom I was made to reflect on in that alleged interview, that I newer said such things to a representative of that paper, but on the other hand refused to be interviewed on the subject of street railway franchises.”’ “Then you are not the great reformer you have been represented to be?” said Col. Butler, “IT never posed as a reformer,” said Mr. Scullin, ‘‘nor do I relish being written down a fool. Several members of the Council arrived, and Mr. Scullin spent a busy half‘ hour ex- plain.ng that he didn’t say it. “I gave you credit for more business sense and fairness,” said ‘Councilman Uthoff. ‘But you know we public men,’ chimed in Speaker Lehmann, “have to submit to a whole lot of drubbing, and railroad presi- dents come under that head.”’ President Meier evidently took it for granted that Mr. Scullin was on hand to get a finger in the railway franchise pie, and significantly asked: ‘“‘When are you going to build that Gravois road exten- sion ’?’’ : ‘Whenever you ordinance-makers give me a franchise,’’ replied Mr. Scullin. “I have no bill before the Assembly for that or any other purpose. I asked for that franchise two years ago, because the people inter- ested requested me to do so, but the As- sembly concluded that as the Southern Electric had a franchise to bu'‘ld out that way it would be unfair for me to so nearly parallel them. It would be an expensive piece of road to me to go out Gravois road to King’s highway or the city limits, and though I could put it in operation in sx months, it would not pay back the cost in ten years, but the people there want it, and I hold that in view of the privileges I enjoy in South St. Louis I should accommodate that section, whether it pays or not. I shall not again ask for the franchise. If the peo- ple interested want to hold me to my prom- ise to build the extension, and they come here and get the franchise, I will build it otherwise it will remain open territory.” — “I think you ought to build that exten- sion,’’ said President Meier, “for the people need it and have asked me why it could not %, ‘ a 1 b “Well, I'll be obedient to th { the Assembly when they ame te ane done,” was the adroit reply of Mr. Scullin A Post-D‘spatch reporter asked Mr Scul- lin if he thought there was any practical > a ay ae, Damerate street railways ranchises for which : Assembly. bills are pending in the “I have just stated in y President Meier,’” said sey gi ge nothing to ask the Assembly f meant it.

Griffin is the 14-year-old negro whose wanton use of a pistol sent young Henry Kieffer to his grave on the night of Oct. 17. Prosecuting Attorney Heidorn says he will not only meke out a case of first degree murder against Griffin, but will prove that he is more than 14 years old. It is on the claim of his age that Griffin expects to es- cape the gallows. Griffin admits firing the shot which killed Kieffer, but says he did not shoot at the young man. He eays he fired “just for monkey business’’ and had no idea that he would hit anybody. Harry Watson, an- other young negro, who was with Gr ffin, will testify that he warned Griffin not to shoot, but that Griffin refused to heed his from $4.00 to $6.00 less.
