GET OUT YOUR OVERSHOES. STORM IN THE SOUTHWEST PRE- VENTED THE SNOW PRE- DICTED FOR THURSDAY, ZERO WILL NOT BE REACHED. But There Will Be Freezing Weather All Over the Southwest, Accom- panied by Northers and Other Varieties of Nasty Weather. \ Weather Observer Frankenfleld promises the worst weather imaginable for Friday night and Saturday. The cold, disagreéable rain will turn into snow Friday night. It will turn cold and gales fresh from fhe icy regions of the Northwest will sweep the territory tribcttary to St. Louis, Snow was predicted for Thursday night and Friday, but a storm from the Southwest lowered the temperature and brought rain instead of snow. The observer takes some fat sfaction in pointing to the fact that it d'd snow tn the North and West. In Kan- | pas City there was a snowfall of nearly five inches, “There Was s0Me snow mixed up with the slet of Jast night, and the rain of to- day,’ said the. doctor, “but it was not enough to notic It was too warm to snow, The storm from: the Southwest prevented it. “It was simply delayed. It will be here to-night, sure. Then it will turn cold and gales from tne North will be general. There are storms all around, Down in Texas the mercury is around the zero mark, and in éome points in the Pan-handle it is below zero. It will hardly be that cold in St. Louis this time.” The foliewing telegrams were received at _ weather bureau from Washington Fri- ay: ‘Cold wava for Northern Loulsiana, Gal- veston, Vicksburg, Memphis, Arkansas and Tennessee. emperature will fall 16 fo 20 degrees by aturday morning.

Chopped the Woodwork Away From the Safe With an Axe, but Could Not Get It Open. That the Lindell Rallroad was not robbed of Thureday’s receipts, amounting to $2,000 or more, early Friday morning, was not the fault of the fearless robbers who attempted the job. The robbery was not a success partly be- cause the masked burglars encountered a safe whidh was too tough a proposition for them. The safe is a peculiarly constructed affair of iron, encased in wood, and the rob- bers were not provided with tools to work on the iron safe. The car shed offices of the Lindell line are situated at Taylor and Fairfax avenues. At 2:30 o'clock Friday morning the only oc- cupants of the place were Night Foreman Henry Kemper and Night Clerk August Burkhart. Both were buey at their desks when two masked men entered from the Special to the Post-Dispatch. CHILLICOTHE, Mo., Dec. 3.—Edna Whit- ney, the Labor Queen, has troubles of her own. Greatness was thrust upon her less than three months ago, through the me- morable fight between the managers of the autumnal festivities of Kansas City, Mo., and Topeka, Kan., but in spite of the fact that her name was heralded throughout the tinction has netted her only $70, and she had to sue for $40 of that. The manufacturer of the Edna Whitney cigar, instead of being able to pay her a royalty for the use of her name, hag lost money, and it is probable that the brand will be withdrawn from the market, on ac- count of the boycott declared by the labor unions, The photographer who undertook to sell her photographs fell by the wayside. It was a losing speculation from the start, and from that source the young woman has realized nothing. Kansas City, after rejecting her as'a maid of honor to the queen of the autumnal carnival, invited her to attend the Home Product Show in the capacity of Chrysan- themum Queen, She accepted, but there was a misunderstanding with the managers, and eg | tried to put her off with $30 instead of $70. Miss Whitney hesitated about losing that amount, and entered suit for the dif- ference. The managers, seeing that she had a good case, settled the matter out of court, and Miss Whitney returned to Chillicothe a few days ago. Besides all this, the Labor Queen is no longer satisfied with labor. Life in a cigar factory has lost its charms. She pines for further distinction, and yearns for the geet of the footlights and a big salary. faving once tasted the joys of notoriety, remembering her delightful experience at the VeJed Prophet's ball in St. Louis, ehe longs for another yard off of.the same bolt. Immediately after her name became known She had several offers to go on the stage, to say nothing of numerous offers of mar- riage, but she steadfastly declined them all. Then she was satisfied to be the Queen of Labor. But soon the stately girl com- menced to chafe under the restrictions of her narrow fleld, and at last she deter- mined to break away from them altogether. Now she is gonng to Kansas City to study for the stage. The date has not vet been set, but the time will be short, Her mother will accompany her and will busy herself at dress-making while the statuesque Queen Edna is perfecting herself in the dramatic art. The only consideration that can affect this plan will be the acceptance of one of the offers she has already had to adopt the Stage asa profession. With proper manage- ment and advertisement, she believes, che can utilize the dist-nction she has already gained, whereas it is being lost through lack of systematic effort. Her friends have great faith in her ability and bel’eve that she will make a howling success as an actress. OFFERED 10 GOV. GRIGGS. The New Jersey Executive Is to Be Attorney-General. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 3.—President McKinley has offered the position of At- torney-General to Gov. John W. Griggs of New Jersey.

The pistols were pointed at their heads, Then, as !f fearing that the two employes might manage to run out and give the alarm, a second command was given by the robbers which made Kemper and Burkhart fall on their knees, all the time keeping their arms s‘retched above their heads. - While one man stood guard over the knee!l- ing foreman and clerk, the other fell to work at the safe. He sat on the floor with his revolver handy, and kept his face turned to the door on the lookout for any interrup- tion. The robber hacked away briskly at the woodwork, sending splinters and kindling- wood fiying through the office in all direc- tions, His partner coolly questioned him from time to time as to what progress ne was making, while Kemper and Burkhart, trembling and frightened almost to death, witnessed the impudent assault on the safe, When Robber No. 1 struck the iron safe he swore roundly and said he did not be- lieve they would get what they came for after all. No. 2 swore back at him, and then to make sure No, 1 stood guard over the prisoners, while No. 2 tried his hand at piercing the substantial iron walls. “Tt’s no use,”’ said No, 2, after he had tried desperately to open the door of the safe, ‘“‘We'd better go.” At 2 o'clock this afternoon Burkhardt and Henry Kemper went to the Sixth District Police Station to identify two men whom the detectives had arrested upon sus- picion., 3urkhardt looked at the suspects and promptly said they were not the highway- men. Kemper was equally as positive in tis assertion, and Capt. Campbell released the prisoners. After the detectives had finished with him, Burkhardt told the following story to a Post-}ispatch reporter: “At 2:30 o’clock this morning Kemper and I were seated in the office at the desk. The door opened and two men sprang in simul- taneously. Each had a big pistol leveled at us, one covering me and one Kemper. “‘Hands up,’ commanded the larger of the two men.

As he approached the door he saw Long in the room and heard his wife scream, He ran in, ho says, and found that Long had a knife in his hand and was advancing on Mrs. St. James, who was crouching in the opposite corner of the room. Long had almost reaeghed the woman as St. James entered. As Long turned his head to see who was coming St. James pulled his revolver and fired. Long fell to the floor and St. James ran from the house. He was cap- tured and locked up. Long was also taken to the police station, where it was found the bullet had stunned him.

TELEGRAMS ALONG THE ROAD NOTIFIED OF HER CONDITION AND HIS PROGRESS. HE FOUND HER UNCONSCIOUS. She Has Been in a Comatose Condition All Day and Her Children Are About Her Awaiting the Inevitable End. CANTON, O., Dec. 3.—This morning Mrs. Nancy Allison McKinley was reported sink- ing rapidly and the end appeared near. All night long the little group around the bedside of the venerable woman anxiously watched for news of the train which was speeding on with the woman’s distinguished son- from his post at the nation’s capital to her humble cottage. Before she lapsed into unconsciousness she was given to understand that he had started for Canton from Washington. The train bearing the President reached Pitts- burg at 7:15. At each stop during the night word had been flashed to Canton of his progress and at each stop a yellow missive told him that he was still in the lead in his thrilling midnight race with the grim reaper. Finally tired nature asserted herself and the President retired to sleep. As soon as Pittsburg was reached Judge Day accepted the offer of the railroad company and a spe- cial engine was attached to the car. The President at that time was stiil asleep. With- out the loss of a moment the special engine. dashed out of the Smoky City. All trains on the route were put on sidetracks, and the last 101 miles were reeled off in two hours. At 8:55 the President reached Canton, His mother was still alive. Upon his arrival at the nome-of his mother President McKinley entered the sick-room and knelt by the bed- side. She was unconscious, The little fam:ly group was complete. Now all that remained was to wait for death, and hope that before it came the mothgr would be able to once more recognize her loving children. Hig cousin, Charles R. Miller, Judge Mc- Carthy and G. B. Frease met the Pres!l- dent at the station with a carriage, which hurried him to the home of his mother, and he has since been almost constantly at her bedside. As the day wore on, Mrs. McKinley re- mained apparently in the same condition as at early morning. She waz unconscious, showed no evidence of suffering and seemed to be passing quietly into the sleep of death. There was no encouragement given the family by the attending phyeician, Dr. Phillips, who seriovsly doubted the patient would revive. He feared the end was very near, but sald there was a possibility of her lingering for several days, Of her four living children three were at the bedside and Mrs. A. B. Duncan of Cleveland, who has been visiting her daughter at a Chi- cago school, will be here later. President McKinley believes his mother recognized him as.he knelt at her bedside. His sister Helen announced his arrival by saving: ‘‘Here, mother, is William; if you recognize him hold up your hand.”’ Mrs. McKinley did raise her left hand slightly and the family belleve it was in recogni- ton of her devoted son. He grasped her hand fondly and says he seemed to feel a slight pressure from the mother’s effort to return his greeting. This was the only incident of the sick room to-day. The fam- ily continued about the bedside, but except a continued weakening coul note no change. The plans of the President are to rema'n here until 2 o’clock to-morrow, when he will return to Washington to look after some of the official business which made it almost impossible for him to leave the capital at this time. At 12 o'clock Dr. Phillips visited the pa- lent. ‘“‘There Is no great change in Mother McKinley’s condition,” he said. “She is gradually sinking and the end may come in a few hours. It is barely possible that she may survive several days.” Mrs. Stewart Bowman, Mother McKinley's niece and wife of Editor Bowman of Elyria, \ JOSEPH MEVER HAS CONFESSED — THAT it MURDERED A BOY, Hit William Smith on the Head With a Club at Hav- lin’s Theater Nearly Two Years Ago. — CORONER'S RECORDS BEAR HIM OUl. Meyer .Was Arrested on Suspicion of Having Committed a Saloon§ Robbery on Broadway, Thanksgiving Night. Joseph Meyer, 22 years old, was arrested by Policeman Shaw Friday at his home, 4613 Bulwer avenue, suspected of being im- plicated in the robbery of Ed Miller’s saloon at Broadway and Mallinckrodt ° street Thanksgiving night. Three men robbed the cash drawer of $30 at the points of revolvers and took $6 from the pocket of Louis Tegtmier, who was in the saloon. Meyer denied being implicated in the rob- bery, but confessed to Chief Desmond of being guilty of a much graver ertme,” that an inquest was held Jan. 16, 1894, on the body of William Smith of 222 Plum street, who died from injuries Infitcted by a man unknown, in the galiery of Havlin’s The- ater on the night of Jan. 12, 18%. The jury rendered the following verdict: “The deceased came to his death at the City Hagspital, Jan. 15, 18%, from chronic pneumo@a, his ceath being accelerated by injuries received at Havlin’s Theater about 9:30 p. m., Jan. 12, 1896. Sald ‘njuries were received by being struck and kicked by a person (man) unknown to the jury.” When Smith was taken to the hospital it was found that his jaw was broken, his right eye almost knocked out and his: head badly crushed.

PRAGUE, Dec. 3.—The city authorities, the Bohemian National and Students’ Asso- Ciations and the workmen’s societies met to-day and appointed a vigilance committee. The Stadthalter (Mayor) was then waited upon and informed that the object of the committee was to secure order and safety of life and property. The Stadthalter was requested to withdraw the troops, but this he refused to do. declaring that he was responsible for the maintenance of order. The Stadthalter, however, invited the dep- utation from the vigilance committee to request the committee to use its influence to prevent disturbances. At Vienna the parliamentary deadlock continues. Baron Gautsch, the new Prem- ier, has made no progress toward a com- promise satisfactory to the rival factions, and it begins to be feared that the present Reichsrath will never reassemble, Certain it is that {f the Reichsrath meets with Dr, von Abrahamovies in the chair, the same disorderly scenes will occur as before.

THE PRISONER UNMOVED AS JUDGE MADDOX PRONOUNCED THE WORDS OF ie TO BE SENT TO SING SING. In the Week Beginning January 10 He Will Be Executed According to Law, Which Prescribes Electrocution. NEW YORK, Dec. 3.—Martin Thorn, con- victed on Monday of the murder of Wm. Guidensuppe, was to-day sentenced to be electrocuted in the week beginning January When Thorn was brought into court in Long Island City he stepped as briskly— walking between two officers—as he had done on the days when he was on trial. He preserved the same calm, imperturbable expression of countenance that he had worn at every crisis in the working out of his fate during the trial, and when, as a pre- liminary to pronouncing the sentence of death, Jusgtice-Maddox put the customary questiong’ to him, he responded promptly, collectedly and without outward evidence of emotion. “My true name,” said the murderer, “‘is Torceswisky. was born in Germany and am 35 years old. | am a barber and have never been in prison before. I was brought up in the religious belief of the Roman Catholic Church. I can read and write. My father is living. I am not married.’ Then Judge Maddox proceeded to pass sentence solemnly and impressively. He said: “Thorn, you were indicted, charged with having premeditated and deliberately de- signed and caused the death of William Guldensuppe. You have had a fair trial, in the course of which you were defended by the ablest and most astute counsel. They could not have done more for you. Every effort was made by them to save you. After that the jury found you guilty of murder in the first degree, and the pun- ishment for that is death. “Reflect upon it. Reflect upon the death of him whom you slfw. It is the duty of the court to fix a time for the execution— the law pronounced the punishment. I shall give you a reasonable tire; the law per- mits me to do that. It is needless for me to state anything toucbing the facts in this case, more than to say that the evi- dence jusifies the verdict. “The judgment of the court is that you shall be taken hence to the State Prison at Sing Sing within a reasonable time and that there you shall be executed in the form prescribed by law in the week begin- ning January 10, 1898.’’ Thorn listened without moving a muscle and when the Judge had finished he in- clined .his head slightly forward as if bow. ing to the court. The prisoner’s lawyers then handed up an affidavit applying for an appeal. Justice Maddox took the affidavit and will pass on it later. Thorn was then led to the jail below.

Mrs, Nack’s lawyers, before Mrs. Nack con- fessed, it is announced, came to an under- standing with the District Attorney that she would surrender herself to the State as a witness only on condition of being allowed to plead to manslaughter. Mr. Youngs saw the force of Friend’s reasoning that, even if convicted, the woman would not be exe- cuted, and at the beginning of the first trial, 'n view of Attorney Howe's defense, felt compelled to accept. her confession. Judges Maddox and Smith now see the mat- ter in the proper light, aided, however, in their conclusion, by new points, which Mrs. Nack brought to the attention of her coun- se). Mrs. Nack. it will be remembered, put all the biame on Thorn and swore that it was he who fired the shot) which killed Guidensuppe, and it was he who cut him up, she only aiding in carrfing away the parts of the body. Gotha, it will also be reenembered, swore that Thorn told him he was in the cottage before Mrs. Nack and Guldensuppe got there on Friday morning, and that he ex- ploded his revolver twice to make sure that it was all right. Mre. Nack’s point. is this: Two bullets were found in the walls of the cottage, corroborating Gotha’'s story of Thorn’s confession to him. It was proved beyond a doubt that she and Guldensuppe were seen getting off the trolley car to- gether and entering the cottage, This be- ing so, how could she practice firing with a pistol in the presence of Guldensuppe? Moreover, it was also proved beyond a doubt that Thorn bought the plaster of paris for the head.

A German war ship was dispatched to the Yellow Sea and Nov. 22 the admiral in command landed a force of marines on the shore of the bay, which was commanded by a Chinese port with a garrison of 1,500 men. The admiral, protected by the man-of-war, commanded the Chinese general to’ withdraw his sol- diers from the fort, and the latter did so, claiming the protection of the admiral: The Chinese soldiers ran in complete disorder into the fastnesses of the hills, abandoning their position, which the Germans at once occupied. \ A demand was made upon the Chinese Government for an.indemnity on account of the slaughter of the missionaries and the destruction of school property.

Health Commissioner Starkloff De- plores the Failure of the Municipal Assembly to Fight Consumption. The Health Board of Greater New Yor following a suggestion made by the Sf. Louis Health Board, will spend $60,000 next year for the suppression of tuberculosis. The St. Louis Board’s declaration that tu- berculosis was an infectious disease and should be treated as such did not at first meet with general approval, but the more physicians studied the matter the more they become convinced that the St. Louis board was right. The St. Louls ordinance was drawn more than two years ago, and has been before the two municipal assemblies, but it has never been favorably acted upon. The New York Board of Education is the first to insist on the actual enforcement of such an ordinance, and through it the Board of Estimates of that city has ap- propriated $60,000 for the Board of Health to use in making experiments as to the best means of subduing and controlling the disease, “The action of the New York authorities is especially gratifying to me,” said Health Commissioner Starkloff, ‘“‘because I believe under my administration the 8t. Louls Board of Health was among the first to declare that tuberculosis was infectious. I drew an ordinance asking the Municipal Assembly to so declare it. That ordinance has never been favorably acted upon. “If it had been no appropriation would have been necessary for its enforcement. It would have been operative just like other ordinances relating to infectious diseases, with the exception as set forth in the ordinance that wherever a case of tuber- culosis was known to exist we could not have taken the patient to quarantine like a small-pox or yellow fever case. As in cases of diphtheria or scarlet fever physi- clans would have been compelled to let us know, and we would have had the house disinfected, and provided with all: the safe- guards for the suppression of the disease, as in diphtheria or scarlet fever. “It is no longer disputed by intelligent physicians that tuberculosis, or consump- tion, is a germ disease, infectious and capa- le of being: transferred to healthy persons. “It is also a fact, capable of proof, that in all the places used for heaith resorts for consumptives for any number of years, no- tably in Germany and Southern France, those places have become hot ®eds of in- fection and the natives have been destroyed by the disease. The healthiest families, men and women without a previous taint of consumption in their systems, have be- come inocculated with the disease from con- tact with foreigners who have gone there for treatment. “T know of no !nfectlous disease that Is so relentlessly sure of its.victims as tuber- culosis, and at the same Hoke 4) is as pli- able to control and subjugation aS the worst of them if it ts properly handled, “My ordinance is still before the Assembly and to make it a law could do us no harm, It is as much the duty of a Board of Health to use {ité efforts to prevent the spread of tuberculosis, to disinfect the houses where it exists as it is to look after any other infectious disease.” IOWA TRAVELING MEN.

Special to the Post-Dispatch, TPRRE HAUTE, Ind., Dec. 3:—Candi- dates are thick as blackberries already for the spring elections. -The Republicans at present control the city government and have done so for several years, but Terre Haute is given to frequent changes, and Democratic candidates are numerous. On the Republican side for Mayor H. H. Bou- dinot, W. P. Ijams, Alex. Crawford and the present Mayor, Fred A. Ross, are those mentioned. The two last named are avowed candidates. On the Democratic side ex- Councilman Frank Wey, Attorney B. V. Marshall and ex-Counc!Iman Nicholas Stein are candidates. For City Treasurer on the Democratic side Councilman P, B. Walsh, W. T. Beauchamp, J. E. Hagerty and J. B. Walsh are open candidates, while Ed Dua- dieston and Frank Borgstrom are hustling for the Republican nomination. The city treasurership is a pr.ze, as it is a four years’ office, worth nearly $7,000 per annum. For City Clerk the present Deputy City Clerk, Will Hamilton, will be the Republican nominee, while Jacob Truinette and Charles Fox are the avowed Democratic candidates thus far. In additton all ten wards will elect one Councilman. There will be more Republican hodid-overs than Democrats next spring, and the Republicans are relying on this to retain control of the Counc‘, while the Democrats count upon what they claim is a general dissatisfaction at the present city government.

Believed They Took This Course to Avoid Securing a Church Dispensation, West End society, the exclusive coterie representing Vandeventer place and the aristocratic boulevards, feels that it has been che&fited. The offenders are Mr. and Mrs. Charles K. Dickson Walsh, who are now in Chicago, enjoying the happiness of a honeymoon. Society feels aggrieved because soctety was not in on the Walsh-Kehlor wedding, It feels that an excellent opportunity for a{ ee ee emetetateiens er cm, between 4:30 and 5 judge?’ “I can, sir,”’ answered the judge. “What's up? Wedding or lawsuit?” The strange young man did not wait for & reply. He slipped out of the room and was gone directly he received the judge's assurance that he would be on hand at the requested time. About a quarter before 5 o’clock Justice Spaulding was alone in his office, when the door opened and two men and ohne young woman _ entered. They were Dickson Wazish, his best man, Alfred Carr, and Miss Kehlor. The marriage license was produced and without further preliminaries Miss Kehlor was made Mrs. Charles K. Dickson Walsh. The merry bridal party, for whom every one had anticipated a gorgeously decorated and lighted church with a digni- fied Lohengrin chorus and a Mendelssohn march, laughingly halted long enough to pay the check at the cashier’s desk, the cashier being Justice Spaulding himself, and the check being for one marriage cere- mony, and then left the office. They walked down Olive street with com- posure most extraordinary under the cir- cumstances, and after visiting one or two shops were driven in a public conveyance to Union Station, There they were met by J. de Mun Walsh, a cousin of the groom, who had been created a sort of bridal valet and bag carrier to His Happiness, the groom. Mr. de Mun Walsh faithfully ex- ecuted his part of the programme and had his cousin's dress suit case and a smal] hand satchel ready for the travelers. Mr. and Mrs. Dickson Walsh then board- ed a train for Chicago. Just before em- barking Mr. Walsh sent a messenger to the o'clock th's afternoon, | MR. AND MRS. CHARLES KE.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 3.—The ladies of the cabinet are indignant over the course of Mr. Porter, private secretary to the President, who hae assumed the position of society dictator, and, without consulting the parties most concerned, has, under the indersement of Mr. McKinley, promulgated an entirely new order of public entertaining. So strong is the revolt against this pro- ceeding that Vice-President Hobart per- sonally appealed to Mr. Porter for a re- scinding of the new arrangement by which the Pres dent's day for state receptions has been changed from Thursday to Wednes- day. The Vice-President was coolly told that any change was impossible. “What is your reason for the change?” asked Mr. Hobart. “It 1s," replied the secretary, “That Thurs- day, the day heretofore used for public re- ceptions, is observed by the church for prayer meetings.”’ Heretofore, when there has been a change : ie dis CABINET MEMBERS’ WIVES IN REVOLT AGAINST PRIVATE a PRIVATE SECRETARY PORTER. of simijar importance, the ayestion has been ed at a meeting of the ladies of SECRETARY PORTER.

In the present instance the first intimation received by these ladies was the published announcement by Mr, Porter. The ladies of the Cabinet will meet to dis- cuss the matter.

The tidings borne by the messenger to Miss Kehlor’s family were unlooked for but not such a surprise after all. Mr. Walsh had been attentive to Miss Kehler for two years, and it was generally/understood in the fam.lies of each that a wedding would take place some time in January. There was no opposition to the match, and the action of the young couple avas a: disap- pointment to the parents of both Mr. Walsh and Miss Kehlor only in that it was_per- formed by a justice of the peace and not under the paternal roof or in a church, Mr. Walsh is a Catholic and his bride is of a Protestant family. It is thought by Mr. Walsh’s friends that they decided to marry as they did, fearing some trouble in obtaining a dispensation from the church for the wedding. It is not known at present if there will be a second ceremony. Mrs. Dickson Walsh is a daughter of J. RB. M. Kehlor, whose office is on the fourth floor of the Merchants’ Exchange. Mr. Keh- lor is president of the Kehlor Brothers Milling Company and of the Consolidated Elevator Company, and is considered a mii- ionaire thrice over. ‘ . Mr. Walsh is a son of Juliue L. Walsh, pres'dent of the Terminal Railway Asso- ciation and of the Mississippi Valley Trust Company. The Walsh home is at 3628 Del- mar avenue, The young groom is in busi- ness for himself and is connected with the MeNair-Harriz Real Hstate Company. He is % years old and Mrs. Walsh is about the age. , oe hem they return from their wedding trip, a date not yet kftewn, as neither the Walsna nor the Kehilor camly has had time to re- ceive a letter from the bridal couple, Mr. and Mrs. Walsh will live temporarily at the Kehlor home. At least that is what Mr. Kehlor has arranged and lis plans will probably be carried out, unless the young folks have another surprise in store. “Forgive them?” s d the bride’s father when asked if Mr. arid Mrs. Walsh would be lovingly welcomed when, they returned, 7 should say so.

In the Post-Dispatch mail Friday were letters for the Surlines. Yesterday the re- ceipt of $9.25 for the family was noted. To- day this is added to. The total now sent to the family by the Post-Dispatch readers is $16.65. Capt. Young of the Third Police District received a letter Thursday signed “N.

The firm of Neun & Co., 1205 South Broad. way, donated two blankets and two quilts to the same cause. Mr. M.

That complex creature, man, and that more complex creature, Woman, monopo- lize all of the stories which will be con- tained in the Magazine of the next Sun- day Post-Dispatch. Every story has its own thrill, its own pathos, its own provo- cation to laughter. The tales are all of the inextricable comedy and tragedy of human life. In the midst of preparations for the greatest Christmas number St. Louis has ever seen, the resources of the Sunday Post-Dispatch are equal to the produc- tion of magazine, news and comic sec- tions supefior to those which will ac- company any newspaper printed west of New York. Not a single story of bald, purposeless reminiscence, not a hasheesh fancy, not a single contribution from a bar-room raconteur, not a word that would bring the blush of shame to the heek of modesty ever affronts the in- elligence or taste of those who read the sunday Post-Dispatch. fIts_ circulation, vhich is permanently abdve the one hun- dred thousand mark, is in the homes of persons whose refinement is unquestioned “irl who appreciate its endeavors to pre- Sent pictures of life as it is lived to-day. For the persons now alive this is the most wonderful age of the world’s his- tory; for all who are thoroughly alive the Sunday Post-Dispatch, which concerrf | itself with the present only, is the mos | wonderful of all newspapers. -_ ¢ —5—-- The largest clearings in the history of the St. Louis clearing house is the rec- ord for Thursday.

I -@ - easy WHAT RULES HALIFAX?P Mayor George Henry Smith of Hali- fax, England, is very welcome, but he must not leave St. Louis with the im- pression that we would exchange the | gFovernmental system of St. Louis for | that of Halifax. The difference is vital | @s well as superficial. Wealth rules Hali- fax. The people, through duly ee their The Mayor of Halifax must be a rich man. The Mayor of St. Louis may be rich or poor. He may be and usually is, one of the people. He does not rep- resent wealth. He represents the entire civic population, The Mayor of Halifax need not be a noble. But he must be wealthy—an undemocratic class distinc- tion. In the matter of outward show as well *@s in its vital features, Halifax is in contrast with St. Louis. The people of St. Louis would hardly like to see their Mayor arrayed in gewgaws and hedged about with ceremonials. He is the peo- ple’s chief servant, but why should he be dressed like a flunkey or assume the airs of a Grand Vizier? Halifax can teach St. Louis some things about dealing with corporations and making the most of franchises, but it is governed by wealth, chiefly for the wealthy. a a oe —, —_— - The municipal election in Augusta, Ga., depends upon which candidates can buy the most negro votes.

The Post-Dispatch has received a num. ber of letters complaining of the peddlers, or rather of the methods of peddlers in trying to push sales of their wares. Fy. ery housekeeper knows that there ts some ground for these complaints, but there are two sides to the question. Sensible people recognize that the ped- dier must live; that he is probably as food a citizen as the man who works on ® salary, and that he may have articles for sale that the housekeeper would be giaf to buy. ir and 5 CENTS Sundays, | én If they would adopt the s polite and stop here they are evi- all peddlers. method of being alway obtruding themselves W dently not wanted, they would be ce often welcomed than repulsed, and their profits at the end of the year would be greater. _ If Mr. Filley is a “political polecat” and Mr. Kerens is a “Hrannaized leper,” the Missouri Republicans are very unfortu- nate in their leaders. STOP THE SLAUGHTER. Two thousand men killed and between 20,000 and 25,000 injured is the record of ‘annual casualties among railroad em- ployes. The percentage of killed and /wounded approximates, if it does not equal, the casualties of an army in a bloody war. This is the argument of the railroad employes against the extension of time for the equipment of railroad cars with automatic couplers and brakes. It is a not to be met with omy and busi- |strong argument, quibbles concerning econ ness considerations. © Five years have been given the rail- roads for the work. The record shows that little was done to comply with the law until a year or two ago. Some rail- roads have complied with it and others have failed to do so. In all 441-2 per ‘cent of the cars have couplers and 56 1-2 per cent have brakes. It would be a great hardship on both the public and the railroad employes if a lot of cars were thrown out of use and the railroads crippled thereby. But shifty excuses should not be accepted, nor, if the commission extends the time, should the extension be made for a longer time than is necessary to do the work, The plea of hard times cannot now be accepted from the majority of roads, They are profitably busy. The protec- tion the law proposes to secure for rail- road employes should be enforced at the earliest possible date. Railroads that wantonly neglect to comply with the law should be punished. | Local merchants and_mpfutacturers have acted wisely in urging an adequate display of St. Louis industries at the Omaha Transmississippi Exposition. As the leading city of the great region whose development is to be shown at the ex- position, St. Louis should have first place in the exhibits. The suggestion should be acted upon with promptness and en- ergy. . a. —— —— «a The corrupt elements in the dominant party are greatly disturbed by Uncle Fil- ley’s revelations.

The specimen is a Yorkshire terrier, or, at least, that is what it should be, ac cording to its lineage, although ‘from its present appearance no one could say posi- tively to what species of the canine king- dom it belongs. The terrier is now about 9 months old, and has attained the growth of body natural to| dogs of that spec.cs at that age. The pecu- | liar thing about this animal is that fit has | not secured its full share of the beautiful long, silky hair that imparts to the York- shire terrier much of its value. The body, tail and surface of the ears are absolutely devoid of hair, resembling in this respect the Mexican hairless dog. The face and iegs are covered with the regulation growth of hair, and around the edges of the ears is a lony, fan-like growth of curly hair. The disposition of the hair gives the dog a most ludicrous appearance, and, as his owner says, makes him lock like a plucked chicken, Mr. Keane. whose hobby ‘s the breeding of fancy dogs, says he is unable to account for the freak Yorkshire. | “He was born that way,” he said, “and I supposed, of course, that it was a mere accl- dent of birth that would disappear as the | never was a bit of hair on his body, tail or surface of the ears, and there never will be. I can’t account for the freak of nature, as the parents are both perfect specimens of the class, of the highest pedigree.

FRIDAY—ST,. LOUIS posT# ISPATCH— —, DECEMBER 3, 1897, ~ CUTER WDOWELL BLONDE STILL LAS HE GOT OUT OF THE PIMLICO JUDGES’ STAND IN A HURRY. THE TURF WORLD EXCITED. “Nothing Talked Of Now by the Talent but the Outlawing of the Balti- more Track. Nothing is talked of in local turf circles but the outlawing Baltimore. Clarence McDowell, judge at Pimlico, weakened at the last mo-| ment and got out of the stand. Patrol! Judge Hall also threw up his job.

Bar- rett and Secretary B. A. Chilton. Manly and Birckhead officiated as judges. All sorts of claims are made in relation to the act'!on of the people at Pimlico. Secretary Hopper, says in so far as the Turf Congress is concerned they are out- laws and not one of them wil! ever be ale lowed to race over the Western tracks in the Turf Congress.

Jockey Club does not interfere with t Western Turf Congress in its surveillance of its meetings, and this is necessarily a reciprocal arrange- ment.’’ “UcDowell, who very wisely got out of the judge’s stand, intimated that his course) was not prompted by fear of any action of the Turf Congress as he was confident that the Jockey Club would protect those | who might participate in the racing at Pimlico, but just the same he did not see fit to make a test case of it himself. He would have made an excellent subject for such a test cuse as he is engaged to act as qose at the coming New Orieans meeting, e knew that if he were to occupy the | judges’ stand at Pimlico after Nov. #0 he | would not be permitted to act as judge at! the Crescent City meeting, for while that , club is not a member of the American Turf Congress, its meeting is operated under the sanction of the Turf Congress. Not only that, but more, the track over which it, Traces is owned bv the new Louisiana Jockey | Club, a member of the Turf Congress. In St. Louis different sides are taken on | the outlaw question. A well-known local | turfman, talking about the matter, said: | “The whole spirit of the present ‘outlaw’ | rule is un-American, and distinctly antagon- | istic to those cherished ideas of equality an‘ freedom of which we, as a people, have ; been so proud to boast, “One of its bad features—possibly the | worsit—is its inevitable tendency to stifle in- dividual effort and kill turf ambition. Of the inception and passage of Rule 6it is not nee- essary to go into detail. Suffice it to say that the animus which prompted its adoption did | not emanate from men of Catholic views or charitable ‘hearts. “Without meaning to pose as a champion of the ‘outlaws,’ one thing I will say, in | assing, and I challenge a contradiction of t. Viewed from the standpoint of ‘form’— both as to post favorites and performance— the majority of the ‘recognized’ tracks, East or West, cannot hold a candle to the des- ised ‘outlaw’ aggregation that raced at outh Side, Madison or East St. Louis, or racing now at Iron Hil’, “Let any student of ‘dope’ dispassionately take up his form sheets at all of the Ameri. ean tracks this season, and compare the performance of the horses there with those at the three tracks mentioned, and then tell me whether or not the ‘outlaw’ owners have not seemed more anxious for the pitiful urses hung up for them—even when their orses were at,prohibitive odds—than were a goodly number of their aristocratic broth- ers at the ‘recognized tracks.’ “T only hope that thie question may come to an issue between the Jockey Club and Turf Congress, and that the Jockey Club may have its veual backbone with it and declare its determination to follow its own sweet will in the matter. In such an event peseiony eome of the better class of outlaw racks might be able to run, and thus re- lieve the major tracks of the unwelcome congestion of so-called ‘dogs’ now present at these latter places.”’ STARTER MAXWELL, He Returns to St. Louis From the Ft.

MADRID, Dec. 3.—Publi¢ opinion here is engrossed by the Cuban question. There is little else in the papers than matters re- lating to the decrees. Some extras from the leaders of the principal papers will give the best idea of the diverse points of view whence is regarded the government’s ample redempticn of the promises it made. The Liberal is entirely satisfied. The Ipocha regards it as an example of red ruin, the breaking up of the law, con- sidering that the solution of the grave prob- lem of commercial autonomy can neither be accepted as satisfactory nor can the mo- tives brought forward in its. defense be looked upon as encouraging. The Corres says the government has kept its promises and striven for peace. The Imparcial argues that the step taken by the government was necessitated by the cir- cumstances of the case and to continue in the road followed up to the present was to arrive inevitably at the abyss. The Correspondencia says frankly: ‘The liberal government, taught by the bitter ex- perience of the last three years, has done the sole thing possible,’”’ The Tiempo laments that in autonomy is DASo OHO 56 O45 Osho Hale ele © Hho Oly © 48e- 480-8 HO DOO O Hie © Hho OH5e O10 O49 @ Ho @ Ho O 056 O-009 O 400 @ Hoo Oho o> > > >>.

The Progresso finds that under the new regime Cuba has more liberty than the rest of Spain. ’ The Nacecionale sees in the decrees “all advantages for the Antilles and all troubles for Spain. All rights and privileges of pre- eminence for the Antilles—all responsibill- ies for Spain.””’ The Heraildo is critical and ‘bjects to the long introduction and aéks ‘when and where Spain acted with brutality in Cuba, as the preamble more than insin- uates. The Dia claims that Spain will lose nothing through the commercial autonomy of Cuba, as it will always be the market for the products of the peninsula. The Correro Espanol’s opinion can easily be gathered from the fact that the leading article is headed “Governmental Traces.” ‘The Correspondenz Milita con- siders the measures ruinous for the coun- try. As to the rumor that the office of the Colonial Minister is to be abolished now that the colonies are autonomous, it is too absurd to merit refittation. More than ever will a minister be «quired to superintena the dealings between the colonies and the mother country. PLEA FOR LIBERTY. “The Cuban Lo«gue’s Petition to the Pro,ident. WASIEINGTON, D. C., Dec. 3.—The Cuban League of the United States has presented a petition to the President, in which they gay: ‘“‘We submit to you these ten proposi- tions for your consideration: ‘1; The three wars tn Cuba within this century are proof of a genuine movement for the extension of democratic principles and the attainment of liberty from a tyran- nical, corrupt and allen government. “2. Without the indirect aid given by this Government to Spain, the patriots would be farther advanced in their struggle. “8. Spain has lost Cuba as far as the present population is concerned. If, how- ever, she is permitted to continue the cruel work of exterminating non-combatanis she may possibly reconquer and repopulate the island. ‘4. If, with our passive ald, she unfor- tunately succeeds in doing this, when oth- er generations come the revolution will surely begin again. The governing classes in Spain of all partics have regarded Cuba for 300 years as an orange to be squeezed. They are unable to consider it otherwise and no amount of diplomatic effort on ‘our art is likely to change thelr point of view. he other classes are ignorant. Spain has held all her colonies with an iron hand un- til forced to let go. The war of liberation in Venezuela lasted fifteen years, and dur- ing the last five years of the struggle no quarter was given by either side, *“S. Autonomy is a foolish dream. It is evident that neither side understands it, wishes it or can administer it. Spain clear- ly offers it to amuse this government and to gain time. A majority of the people of this coun. | try desire to see a free and independent Cuban republic. An opposing factor of reat force is the money power, It is a air conclusion to urge that a majority of our people belleve that the assistance of our government till now has been given to Spain and withheid from the republic on account of the Influence that emanates from gréat financial interests, usually afraid of patriotic, aggressive moyements “7, Our pple have hoped for tavorable action for Cuba from the present admin- istration, and have patiently waited to give the administration time for consideretion of the wise road to this end, That pa- tlence Is now exhausted, “8. Very few Cubans, and still fewer people in this country, desire immediate annexation, but independence is ciearly due to Cuban valor and sacrifices. ‘8. It is of supreme importance to our future defense that Cuba should be in the possession of a frienlly power. This Spain| ias never been, and probably never can | 2. “10. The friendship of the R | Cuba ts worth vastly more to us aon ea of Spain, for reasons of business and de- Tense. It is our duty and self-interest to recognize the belligerency, and logically following this, the independence of the €e- public, and to conclude tt with a defensive and offensive alliance. If this is not com- atible with a continued friendship with pain, #0 muoh the worse for Spain. If BROADWAY RESTAURANT. New Management Takes Caarge. oe’ Padi E.

ESLAYS SENTENCING A MAN WHO PLEADS GUILTY TOA - SECOND OFFENSE. ———— COMMITTED !T IN PRISON. ee ee Man Who Got Books by Fraudulent Use of the Mails Attributes It to an Irresistible De- sire ro Learn. i'nited States Judge Elmer B. Adams ad- mits that the case of William Mills Butler, alias William M. Westerfield, puzzles him. hough Butler pleaded guflty to a charge lof using the malls for a scheme to defraud, Judge Adams will not pass sentence until he has investigated further. | Butler, or Westerfield, Wwas arrested originally cn Sept. 3, 1896. He had had a St. Louis lithographing establishment print some handsome letter-heads, ostensibly for the Orphans’ Home and School at Rondout, N. Y. The name of W. 8. Bissell, Post- master General under PreBident Cleveland, was printed in one corner as President. *s : 1Y a ppcsite corner Butler's name was in the oppesite co as secretary. By the use of these letter- heads he got many orders for books filled book stores in various cities, o'rhe houses finally complained and Postal Inspector McAfee was put on the case. Butier was arrested. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to the Iron County ja l, While serving his sentence he resorted to the same method of obtaining reading mat- ter. He used the same lIetterheads with success, The postal authorities again in- vestigated and Butler was indicted last April by the Federal Grand-jury. His term to Ironton and rearrested him as soon as he was liberated. . He was taken betare Judge Adams an pieaded guilty. The Judge said the priso , er’s actions were unaccountable, and he questioned him at length. ‘ Butler said he was born in Rush County, Indiana, 26 years ago. He came to Mis- sourl when he was 13 years old. He had no education save what he picked up. He had a passion for reading good books, but had no money to buy them He thought of the scheme he adopted and used it with suc- cess. He knew it was wrong, but he could not resist the temptation. While he was serving his sentence in jail he said he feared he would go crazy if his mind were not occupied. hat was why he repeated the offense. “Tl have a sister, a Mrs. Lake, living near Mt. Vernon, Mo.,”’ he said: “If I am al- lowed I will go to her. There I can have fresh air and sunshine and my heaith wll return. Then 1 can get honest work. I al- ways did honest work unt'l I got into this trouble. I will promise to never offend again.’’ “IT hardly know what to do in this case,” said Judge Adams. ‘‘Here is a man who freely admits his gu'lt. Under ordinary c'r- cumstances my duty would be to pronounce the severest penalty. I confess I do not know what I ought to do. “Here.jis a man whoee thirst after know!l- elge has made him a criminal. He has ob- tained the best worke of the best authors, books that should build up a man’s char- acter. How he can reconcile his tastes and his principles I cannot conceive. He is a man of more than usual understanding, and I might «ay cultivation. I feél that he is not now a criminal, but perhaps if I ‘were to send him to prison he might become one. “Mr. Marshal, have a subpoena issued for his sister, Mrs, Lake. Send an officer with it and have her here next Friday. Ray all of her expenses. I know it will cost)some- thing, but I must have more light @n this strange case. In the meantime keep the pr'soner in custody.” The prisoner stood.before the bar. the Judge finished he salid: “If I am to go to jail again, Judge, have me sent somewhere where [I can get good treatment. The air in the St. Louie jail is so stuffy I can scarcely breathe.” — “Sond him to the St. Louis County jail,” p | "7 . was the Judge's orcer, ASSAULTED J. W. NOTHSTON. Negro Brothers Fined $10 Each for Striking a White Man. When £ James Kidd and Louis Kidd, brothers, and colored, were fined $10 each in Police Court Friday by Judge Peabody for disturb:ng the peace of J. W. Nothston. The evidence showed that the brothers, with Abe Given, were employed by Con- tractor William M. Ashley on a residence building for J. W. Nothston on Forest Park boulevard. They were discharged several days ago and returned Thursday for their money. Ashley told them that Mr. Nothston would pay them. James and Louis Kidd met Mr. Nothston on the top floor of the building, ue WIFE IN PURSUIT MRS. J. F. HOWE SEARCHING FOR HER HUSBAND IN EAST ST. LOUIS. HER CHILD iS WITH HER. Both Are Thinly Clad and Evidently in Need of Assist- ance. The wife of, Attorney J. F. Howe, the missing St. Lou's attorney, was in Past St. Louis Friday morning searching for Act husband. She carried her 3-months-old babe in her arms, and both mother and child were clad in garments not calculated to protect them much from the chilly rain that fell in torrents, Mrs. Howe called at police headquarters and mad@ inquiries. She was given a “‘tip”’ by Health Inspector Kennedy that she could probably learn something of Howe through Justice of the Peace G. A. Boyne. She called at the Justice’s office and was told that Howe had been seen there at 5:00 o'clock Wednesday evening. “Howe came to my office Wednesday and collected about $25 in fees due him from my docket,”’ said Justice Boyne, ‘‘and that’s the last I know of him. “He said to tell all inquirerg that he left that night for Marietta, O.” Howe registered at Tuttle’s Hotel Wed- nesday night under the name of “J, Mun- schubier, Kansas City.”’ He paid his bill and left the hotel Thursday morning. An East St. Louis attorney says that Howe has been in East St. Louis every day for two weeks, and that he (Howe) has been communicating with the Sheriff of St. Louis County almost daily. ; “T guess the St. Louls County authorities do not want Howe much orthey could have captured him in East St. Louis almost any day lately,’”’ said Justice Boyne. It is the belief that Howe made an en- gagement to meet his wife in East St. Louis Friday. Justice Boyne said the woman told him not to tell reporters where she went after she left his office Friday morning. Mrs. Howe is rather handsome and ap- parently 24 or 2 years eld. Howe was clean shaven and wore a brown suit, black overcoat and biack derby the night he was at the Tuttle House. His Wife says she has received but one message from him since he left home two weeks ago, and that came through his partner, Judge Sulener. Mrs. Howe exacted a prom‘¢ from Justice Boyne that he must not tell reporters her address in St. Louts. “I don’t know whether she is to meet —— not,” said Justice Boyne. YWhen she lett re 4 office she promised to return during the afternoon. There,.are nO re fees due Howe on my books.” SKIPPY ROHAN ARRAIGNED, He Pleads Not Guilty to Charges of Robbery, Burgiary and Larceny, William, alfas ‘“Skippy’’ Rohan, the no- torious jail breaker, alleged murderer and all-around crook, was arraigned in Judge Zachritg’s court Friday morning. To the charges of murder, robbery in the first degree and burglary and larceny he pieaded not guilty. . His trial for the murder of Casper Betm- fohr is docketed for January 20. Thg other cases are held in abeyance pending results in the murder trial. If the jury finds him guilty of murder there will, of course, be no way to punish him for the lesser crimes, ‘“Skippy’s’’ recent experience in front of Chicago police bullets has not taken away an atom of his dash and bravado. He was perfectly calm while he stood before Judge Zachritz, but>- there was a flerce gleam in his sniake-like eyes. The arraignment preliminaries occupied but a few minutes, and the notorious pris- oner was taken back to jail. He now oc. cupies the cell left vacant by the execution of Henry Clay Johnson, the peg-leg negro who killed “Chronicle Red.” HUNT'S MURDERER COMING Tracey and Williams Reach St. Louis * at 7 O’Clock This Evening. Chief of Police Harrigan received a tele- gram from Detective James Tracy Thurs- day morning stating that he would leave Chicazo at 14 a. m. with Homer Baker, alias George Williams, alias Little, alias “st Paul Tip.” the alleged murderer of Policeman Nicholas Hunt.

Walker Says the Judge Ig- nored a Proper Request. Enos L. Walker applied to Judge Spencer Friday for a writ of mandamus against Justice of the Peace Harry 8. Harmon of the Seventh District, citing him to show cause why he should not grant Mr. Walker a change of venue from his court to some other one. Waiker says he was defendant in a suit for $25 brought by the Frederick Printing Co., and on the day of the trial he pre- sented a formal affidavit for a change of venue, but it was terly disregarded by Justice Harmon, who refused to read ‘t, and order the trial to go on. Judgment was rendered against Walker in the case. Judge Spencer issued an alternative writ returnable Tuesday, Dec, 7. INSANE MAN CAPTURED.

Table of Ficures Which Indicates the Status of the Industry Com- pared With Production in the Past. — Special to the Post-Dispatch. PERU, Ind., Dec. 3.—There is still much excitement over the oil industry. Test wells have been put down in nearly every tewn eurrounding Peru, since the Peru excite- ment started, and none has proven of /the paying kind for either oil oMBas. But very few of the old-time operators have branched out much, as they have gone through ithe game experience probably a dozen times. Several of the companies that invested at Peru will make some money, while many of the others will come out of the excitement ‘ losers. During the month there were 183 wells completed in the entire Indiana bil fleld; of this nu a were dry holes and gas wells@ while tHe rest show a new daily output of 2,900 barrels. This, compared with the work for October, shows an increase of sixty-seven in completed wells, and a de- crease in new production of 280 barrels, and eight more dry holes. One feature of the operations for the month is that the wells for November proved less productive than did the wells of October. One would naturally think that with an increase of sixty-seven -welis the output would be reater, but it shows that the productive eru and other productive pools of the State are less productive than they were. No more wells with a capacity of from 300 to 800 barrels are being completed. At_ the present time any well that will go a hun- dred barrels is considered a big find. The average production each day for November is twenty barrels to the well, with thirty- 6ix and one-half barrels in October. There are ninety wells drilling and forty-eight rigs up, an increase over the October fig- ures of twenty-six. Manager Curtin of the Manhattan Oll Company has the following to say about the Peru oj] field: ‘““We haven’t anything at Peru, and we are glad of it. I guess there are a great many who would like to get out of there, even if they could. My company put $00 in -leases, but We are Willing to let them go. I have sampled the Peru product and consider it no,good. It’s too heavy. The absence of gas is against it, although its commercial value is. the Same now as the rest of the Indiana prod- uct. It requires double the amount of oll for fuel as any other oil yet developed in the State.” The Manhattan Ol! Company’s test well completed on the Harry Carrell farm, near Hartford City, some weeks ago, is showing reenarkable staying qualities, as it is still doing 45 barrels a day. The Acme 'O'1l Company has completed a well on the Lizzie McCaffery farm in this fleld and it is doing about 40 barrels. This is a natura] producer and has not been shot. The Dia- ‘mond Oll Company has completed well No. ll, on the Meyers farm, on the Indian re@- ervation, and has what shows for another gusher, The same company has completed a very light well on the Rife farm, two miles from the Meyers farm. The same company will drill another test well on the Rife farm at once. At Waverly another test well is being sunk, as the first duster did not satisfy the investors. Another oil sale of some. magnitude has been closed tn this field. W. H. Mendenhall & Co. have bou ntot J.C. Lineman of Lima, O.. eleven ol) eases near the hamlet of Mt. Zion. in sections Land 2, in Chester Township, Wells Coanty, for a consideration of $24. 400, The Property embracés a number of producing wells and rigs up. The wells are all con- S@idered as settled production and are small, while the price paid is regarded as a good one for the seller. It ts reported that the Cudahys will hitch Yon to the new owners’ property and w'll henceforth buy his oll at an advance of 3 cents a barrel over the Standard'’s quotations.
