Two Shots Were Fired in the House and Two Revolvers Emptied by the Doctor and His Son in the Street. Dr. Charles F. Simmons, millionaire presi- Gent of the Simmons Patent Medicine Co., twice shot and wounded Emil B. Davidson, @ a#tenographer, at 10:30 o’clock Tuesday torning. z Davidson has been with the Mississippi Valley Trust Co. two years and has a host of acquaintances who admire him greatly. Before entering this office he was a clerk in the law office of W. C. and J. G. Jones. The shooting occurred in the doctor’s par- lor at, 8041 Chestnut street. Hig eon, Harry, also took a hand. A letter received by Davidson which prompted the disastrous call upon Dr. Simmons. is said to have been written by a friengis of Miss Marie Simmons. The con- tents of the letter neither Dr. Simmons mor young Davidson would divulge. Davideon’s right hand was shattered by @ bullet, and a slug of lead went through the top of his right shoulder. Two pistols were going at once. That neighborhood never saw «9 much excite- ment in the course of 15 minutes. Dr. Simmons accused Davidson of having insulted his daughter. Davidson heard of this and left his of- fice at 10 o’clock to go to Simmons’ house and explain. He entered the parlor. Both Simmons and his son were present, After a short colloquy the doctor sprang at the young man and opened fire. He shét at him twice. Davidson rushed to a window and jumped to the sidewalk. His left torearm was torn open by broken glass. A bullet caught him in the right hand. e member may have to be amputated. Simmons fired another shot just as David- eon disappeared through the window. It went wild. Both Simmons and his son, Harry, ran Outside of the house and continued to fire at the fleeing form. “T had a pistol,” said Davidson, “but life was too precious to linger in that vicinity.” As he ran north on Cardinal avenue a dozen bullets whizzed past his ears. One struck h!m on top of the right shoul- der blade. It was removed half an hour later. Harry Simmons pursued Davidson north on Cardinal avenue, so Davidson says, caught him and tried to drag him back to the corner. Then both father and again. People ran for six or eight blocks to see the cause of the excitement. Davidson escaped from his pursuers and ran two blocks to the office of Dr. Crevel- ing, 3109 Olive street.

He is stenographer for D. L. Chandler, secretary of the Mississippi Valley Trust Co., at Fourth and Pine. DR. SIMMONS’ STORY. Dr. Simmons entered ‘the Seventh District Police Station just before 11 o’clock. The police relays change at 11 sharp and Capt. Sam Boyd and Sergeant McNamee were in the station at the time. “T have shot a man,” eaid Dr. Simmons to Capt. Boyd. “‘Where?’’ was the quick response. “Over here at the corner of Cardinal ave- nue and Chestnut street.’”’ Capt. Boyd hurried two officers over to the corner indicated and then turned to his caller, Dr. Simmons, a man of nearly 60 years, ap- peared to be the typical Southern gentle- man, His language was polished and his re- marks well chosen, He was dressed in a dark suit, with Prince Albert coat ahd the ever- present black slouch hat, which was ever worn by the real Southerner years ago. Dr. Simmons had scarcely reached the sta- tion when his wife and son followed him there, Immediately Capt. Boyd ushered the three into his private office and gave them seats. They were of too respectable bearing to be treated like common prisoners, and so they were placed in the Captain's office until the case had been investigatea. They were there when the Post-Dispatch reporter reached the station. _ Capt. Boyd took the news to Dr. Simmons that there was a reporter there who would iike to see him, Dr. Simmons came out. As he did so he pushed his hat back from his forehead and, with his handkerchief, wiped away the beads of perspiration that covered his fore- head. Me appeared to be greatly exc'ted, but he held himself well in check. He would he opened the door and rushed into the | not talk about his cause for the shooting, office, and inside of thirty minutes he was in presentable shape, though still disfig- ured and intensely pale. Sergt. Johnaon and several policemen ap- peared and took Davidagn to the Seventh District Police Station. “Dr. Simmons accused me of having as- eauited his daughter,” said Davidson, after long hesitation. “A fr end of mine sent me @ note stating this a. I knew that I was innocent. “At 10 o'clock this prorning I left the ‘of- fice and went to th ‘doctor's house to ex- plain. He would no listen, Before I knew but regarding the act he said: “‘Before God and man I did nothing more than any father would have done under like circum- stances and situated as I was when the shooting took place.” “If you will say nothing of your reason for shooting Davidson, your version of the shooting as it actually took place?’ he was asked, “Well, of that I will Say this: At a little after 10:30 this morning Davidson came to at the the way up there. .~l my house.

' August Bauer is locked up at the Third District Station, accused by the police of deliberately setting fire to a bed on which the child lay, after she had been murdered. Aside from the tragedy and its sickening AUGUST BAUER. details, a story is brought to light involv- ing the elopement from Switzerland of the child’s mother, Mrs. Hilda Ersar, with the man who is now accused of the most flend- ish of all crimes. The child was known as Emma Bauer. She was 6 years old. Capt. Young, in charge of the Investiga- tion, thinks probably the child was mur- dered before the fire and that the fire was started to cover up the crime. The fire alarm was sounded at 9:45 o’clock, and in less than twenty minutes the little one was carried out by firemen. All that remained of the ch'ld was a charred mass, The mother {fs ill at St. Mary’s Infirmary. She has been there a week. News of the horrible catastrophe was kept from her as long as possible. August Bauer is an electrician. He moved into one third-story room, 1008 Chouteau avenue. Noy. 11 last year. His family con- sisted of the woman known as his wife and one child—the little girl who was burned to a cinder. . Bauer has been out of employment ever since he moved to the Chouteau avenue house. With the woman and her child, Bauer lived in squalor in one little dingy room directly under the roof of the big three-story house.

OVER 100,000 EMPLOYES AFFECTED. Manufacturers Say the Price of Cloth Has Dropped and That $45,000,000 Invested at Fall River Does Not Make a Penny Profit. / Loss in wages, per annum . Special to the Post-Dispatch. LEWISTON, Me., Jan. 18.—The great strike of cotton mill hands against a re- duction of wages is on here in Congress- man Dingiey’s own town. The 1100 opera- tives of the great Androscoggin mills re- belled against a reduction of wages amount- ing to 10 per cent or more : The home office of Nelson Dingley, the author of the new tariff law, which was to increase wages, is within a stone’s throw of the big mill where the strike against re- duced wages began. The monthly payroll is $28,000, an average of about $26 per month per head, Under the new scale of wages the opera- tives would receive about $23 a month. Many of them are girls and lads of from 10 to 14. The boys really led the strike, They sent a committee to state their grievances to Agent Bean. He iaughed and tried to bluff them, The committee promptiy re- ported to the other mill hands and all walked out of the mill in a body. The higher-priced weavers followed suit. Only eight stuck to their looms. ; The weavers are not organized and have no union to fall Dack on, They were All so confident that wages would be increased as soon as their neighbor Dingley’s tariff bill got into full operation, that they were wholly unprepared for the industrial knock- down that has hit them six months after the new tariff law passed. Under the Wilson tariff bill employment was quite steady and wages were higher than the Dingley schedule now offered. A few of the weavers have been able to save money. But the rest of them have not earned on am average more than $9 a week, and have supported families on that. The Androscoggin is the biggest mill fn the country. The hands must soon submit to the inevitable, accept the reduced wages or starve. The employes of other mills in eneressS. Dingley'’s city accepted their ate and did not strike.

Indeed, I believe we eo the striking weavers more. We anal stick it out, but we will have to shut own. “The general average of wages, taking men, women and boys, is $1 a day.

Forty-five million dol- lars invested in Fall River cotton ls is not earning a cent. In Lewiston, $12,000,000 is invested. The fight is coming between the North and the South. “The only solution I can see is the com- bine to contro] the price of cloth. Even then the Southern mills would be earning all the money.”’ The strikers say they expect to win and be back at work in a week. “We forced them to raise the pay twe years ago, and I guess we can prevent @ cutdown now," said one of the leaders.

AN EXAMINATION WAIVED. Dead Man’s Relatives Not Satisfied With the Statement Made by the Elder Niere—Feeling in Favor of Two of the Prisoners. Fred Niere, Edward Niere and Maggie Woerther, charged with the murder of Philip Woerther, were arrested and taken to Clayton Tuesday morning. Preliminary examination was waived be- fore Justice Grunsfelder, and the prisoners were committed to jail to await the action of the grand jury, which sits next Monday. Application for admission to $5000 bail for each prisoner will be made upon Judge Hirzel’s return from Franklin County. After critically examining the evidence and the law Monday afternoon, Prosecut- ing Attorney Heidorn granted Henry Woer- ther’s request, and swore to the warrants before ‘Squire Grunsfelder. Deputy Sheriff Autenreith left for Ball- win, the scene of the alleged the home of the Nieres, late Monday after- noon. He arrived after dark and postponed oe Pye og until Tuesday morning. willingness to accompany the officer. Some delay was occasioned in securing a compan- ion for Edward Niere’s wire, who is fll, and it was after 10 o'clock when Mr. Autenreith turned his charges over to Sheriff Kerth at Clayton. The wealth and prominence of the Nieres made their arrest an event out of the ordi- nary, and Jong ‘before their arrival a cur'- ous crowd of townspeople hung about the Courthouse and filled the corridors. As the white-haired farmer and his stal- Wart son came up the courtyard there was a rush of friends to shake their hands and express other tokens of popular sympathy. To these greetings father and son had noth- ing but smiles and confident assurances that the whole affair was a mistake. The little thin-faced woman who accom- poe them attracted only curious glances. here were no hand-grasps for her. No one, save the big-hearted Sheriff, spoke to er. In and around Clayton at least there is a well-defined impression that Mrs. Maggie Woerther could tell some very interesting facts about her husband's death. Whatever may have been his faults, Philip Woerther Was popular —— the farming element of the county, and the feeling of resentment fg his widow showed itself in the slight pu Courthouse, The woman was probably the most indif- ferent member of the party. There was no embarrassment—just cool indifference. Attorney R. C. Taylor of Manchester came in shortly after the party arrived, and spent half an hour Jn consultation. When the prisoners were arraigned before Justice Greensfelder, Mr. Taylor announced they would waive examination and would appeal to the Circuit Court for bail. osecuting Attorney Heidorn was in Jef- ferson City and at the Justice’s suggestion he matter of securing bondsmeéen was de- erred until his return on Wednesday. one warrants charge murder in the first ree. e statements made to Attorney Taylor Tuesday by the prisoners did not differ from those elicited at the Coroner’s inquest last week.

CHICAGO, Jan. 18.—The Interstate Joint Convention of bituminous coal miners and delegations had been thoroughly organized and scale committees had been named. The miners made no attempt to conceal the fact that what they want is an advance through- out the field of 10 cents per ton. The opera- tors are far from agreeing with the opera- tives on this point, and say a 4-cent advance is about what may be expected, The morning session was of oniy a half peers duration. During that time_yester- ’s action in according the West Virginia delegation of miners a seat and’voice, but no vote, in the convention, was reconsidered and the miners from that State were unani- mously accorded full pr:vileges.

The diamonds did. | Society was present in great numbers and in the boxes were displayed jewels of the actual value of more than $3,750,000. George Lynch, one of the most expert and } accurate apytamere of jewels in the city, jattended the opera at the request of the | Post-Dispatch correspondent to make an es- timate of the value of the precious stones worn. Mr. Lynch did not know the occupants of ,; the boxes, so he made his report by num- bering the boxes. In one box were three women who wore jewels valued at $50,000. In another three women wore jeweis worth $150,000. One woman in this box wore a beautiful necklace with large pear-shaped diamonds separated by sapphires cut like d:‘amonds and enough like them to deceive an ordinary spectator. It gave a beautiful effect and must have been worth alone | $50,000. | Mrs. August Belmont wore a magnificent }tlara of diamonds and two women in her {box wore jewels worth $100,000 In W. K. worth. Two women in Mrs. Astor’s box displayed | $175,000, while Mrs. John Jacob Astor wore '@& pearl girdle worth at least $100,000, with earrings and bracelets of pearl to match. Perry Belmont’s guests were two women wearing $100,000 worth, One wore pearls and diamonds and the other pear] necklace and coiffure. Mrs, Levi P. Morton and two guests wore jewels valued at $85,000. Mrs. Morton wore double pear! necklace and girdle. | In the box held by . K. Sloane and H. McK. Twombley, three women (Vanderbilt women); wore $200,000 worth of jewels, One had a crown made up of big diamonds, with necklace and earrings to match, worth tn all $125,000. There were jewels worth only $25,000 ‘in Calvin 8S. Brice’s box. In D. O. Mills’ box three women wore $145, - 000 worth of jewels. One wore a pear! and diamond crown, with a necklace of the same jewels, with medallion and earrings to match, worth in all $100,000.

Mrs. Webb wore a graduated necklace of diamonds and pigeon-blood rubies, with pen- dant. In W. Bayard Cutting’s box were jewels worth $75,000. One necklace of Alexandrites was seen in this box. These stones are in ap- pearance emeralds in the day and rubies by night, The necklace deceived many. Had it been genuine rubies it would have been worth $260,000. As it was $35,000 is a fair val- uation. In W. C. Whitney’s box only $40,000 worth were to be seen, but Mrs. honesete’ is out of town. She has fully $75,000 worth. Cornel'us Vanderbilt's box had only $18,000 worth. while two women in J. Pierpont Morgan’s box wore $11,000 worth. In one box, occupants not known, were two women who wore turquoise pearls and diamonds worth $125,000, In many of the other numbered boxes were jewels worth from $5000 to $75,000. In addition in the ten grand tier boxes there were $530,000 worth of jewels worn. In the four stall boxes were jewels worth $145,- No estimate could be made of the jewelry worn in the body of the house.

COURT. Charley Sing and Jim Lee Muicted for Running an Opium Den. Charley Sing and Jim Lee, charged with conducting an opium den at 1306 Franklin avenue, were fined $100 each in the Second District Police Court Tuesday. An appeal was taken. The place was raided at ll o'clock Friday night by Policémen O’Brien and Bunting. Several women, white and colored, were seen smoking opium .n a rear room, but they escaped through the cellar by means of a trap door before the officers had effected an entrance. The “dope” out- fit and nee pereresrnae were confiscated and produced in court. Before taking the witness chair Jim Sing caused a laugh (when questioned by Judge Stevenson as to the Chinese form of oath. ‘“‘Do you swear iby Confucius with your queue on or off?’ asked the Judge. ‘We telle the truth all time,”’ responded Jim. The defendants said they were merely enjoying a quiet srnoke and denied that any wosnen were in the joint. Attorney Miller, representing the “ckinks,’’ asked Policemen O’Brien and Bunting how they knew opium was used if they could not analyze the drug. Their answer was, ‘“‘We’ve smelt Hop Alley and we know the kind of stuff smoked there.” Both Jim Lee and Charley Sing were visibly affected at the verdict. hey both cried as they were led back to the cage and mut- tered ‘‘Melican man not good.” The police say a number of young white irls have been lured into the Chinese jaint. The people in the vicinity of Four- teenth street and Franklin ayenue have made frequent complaints and on one oc- casion they threatened to storm the placa Charley Sing is an importation from “Hop Alley.” He is Originally frem Kansas City, where, the police say, he conducted a fantan game.., STEAM PUMP CO.

A Jersey bull tn controversy between two farmers and a grammatical bull in the pleadings of the plaintiff brought the dam- age suit of Edgar O, Parsons against Luke of Appeals here. It was decided Tuesday in favor of the plaintiff, who gets $15 in judgment. * Parsons claimed that he had loaned May- field hs Jersey bull. When Mayfield bor- rowed the bull it was in good, sound con- dition. After three weeks the bull was re- turned after a long hot trip of 67 miles. The next day the bull died and Parsons sued for $100 and was awarded $16. Mayfield appealed, raising the point that the plaintiff’s petition said ‘‘carelessly and negli. gently hitched and fastened said bull behind a two-horse wagon at his premises aforesaid, and. by such means pulled and drove it unmercifully along the public highways.”’ The pronouns “‘it’” in the plead- ings might mean either the bull or the wagon. The Court of Appeals held that “‘it’’ meant the bull and not the wagon, and affirmed the $15 judgment of the lower court. FINGERS NEARLY CHEWED OFF. Froeshaner Accused Zeling of Coveting His Meat Shop. Two of Henry Zeling’s right hand fingers were nearly chewed off by Theodore Fro- eshner in a fight Monday evening. Froeshner had a meat shop at 719 Vande- venter avenue and was ejected, it is said, because of non-payment of rent. He ac- cused Zeling, who subsequently moved into nell ta of instigating the ouster proceed- gs. Zeling denied. Words followed.

Baby would vgn § help if he could. —_ It lies with the woman herself to help herself. Noone else can do it. She can help herself if she will. If a woman will take proper care of her womanly self; if she will use the right rem- edy for weakness and disease of the organs that bear the burdens of: maternity, she will soon be healthy, vigorous and amiable. She will be able to help baby, instead of leaving baby to try and help her. A wonderful remedy for weakness and disease of the organs that make wifehcod and motherhood possible is found in Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. it acts di- | rectly on these organs. It makes them strong and healthy. It has transformed thousands of suffering, pain-racked women into healthy, happy wivés and mcthers. It allays inflammation, soothes pain, and steadies and invigorates the nerves. It pre- pares for wifehood and motherhood. It in- sures inherently healthy children. All good druggists sell it. There is nothing ‘just the same’ or “‘just as good.”’ The druggist who tells vou there is, is either mistaken or dishonest, Mrs. Joseph Simmons, of Hazelgreen, Grant Co., Wis., writes: ‘“‘Inclosed find 4: cents in postage stamps, for which please send me the Medical: Adviser’ in cloth cover. I heve used your Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription, and his Golden Medical Discovery’ and *‘ Peliets’ and have received a great deal of benefit from them."

IT IS NOT CREDITED IN LONDON. LATER DISPATCHES MAKE NO MENTION OF THE ATTACK, BUT THE SITUATION IS*GRAVE. ANYTHING POSSIBLE AT PARIS. Scenes of Wild Disorder, Reaching the Riot Stage, Growing Out of the Agitation Over the Dreyfus Affair. LONDON, Jan. 18—It was rumored on the Stock Exchange this afternoon that the Rothschilds’ Bank in Paris had been raided by @ mob. The report is evidently unfounded, later Paris telegrams make no mention of it. The rumor is not credited this after- noon, but when it first gained currency there was great anxiety in London, It is MARY NOTTINGHAM. Mary lives with her stepmother at 107 Bre- | men avenue. Some time ago a professional contortionist boarded with the Nottinghams. /He used to practice in his room and perform his feats for the amusement of the family. He ‘‘made a hit’? with little Mary and she és- sayed to imitate him. She began by turning somersaults. Then she tried a more difficult feat. Placing her hands on the floor she would twist her legs around her arms and bending forward would pick up a pin from the floor with her mouth. She learned to do this feat perfectiy. The child's stepmother, who its devoted to her, feared she would hurt herself and for- , bade her practicing this feat. But the little one seemed to be fascinated by her accom- plishment, and would perform im secret, and without an audience, at all hours of the day when left alone. Last Wednesday she was visiting friends near the Water Tower, and gave an ex- hib'tion. Suddenly she stopped and com- plained of severe pains in the stomach. She got no better and on Friday she was taken home. A doctor was called. e diagnosed her case as peritonitis, and advised that she be sent to the City Hospital, as an oper- ation would probably be necessary. Mary is a pretty and interesting child. With her flaxen curls lying in disorder on the pillow, her large, innocent -blue eyes with the l'ds half closed, her face drawn with pain and her stepmother, with the de- votion of a real mother, sonene over her, a pathetic picture was presented, “Tl tried hard to keep her from doing that trick.”’ said Mrs. Nottingham, ‘but she would go away in a room to herself to do it every chance she would get. We think so much of her and I was always afraid she would hurt herself. But she seemed to be carried away with that particular trick, and we could not keep her from doing that and turning somersaults—she just turne somersaults all the time.” Dr. Sutter said that for children to do splits and attempt contortion feats was always attended with danger. It was liable to rupture the peritoneum, he said, and lead to serious and frequently fatal! results. Tt was at first thought necessary to oper- ate on the lttle sufferer, but Tuesday morn- ing she showed some improvement, and Dr. Sutter hopes that she will recover without having to be subjected to any operation.

The Woman Has Friends Who Main- tain That the Principal Should Have First Notified Her. J. G. Fertig, principal of the Gratiot School, at Manchester and Billion avenues, ‘s in a peck of trouble over his suspension . of the little daughter of Mrs. Sheridan, 107 Billion avenue, on a charge of stealing. To protect hirgpelt and punish the mother he has sworn ‘out a warrant for Mrs. Sheri- dan’s arrest. ~ The principal claims that the child's plil- ferings have been frequent. He says that early in December little Estelle Bishop's silk bag, in which she had carried her books, disappeared and was found in Maud yang desk. The search was made in the reprimanded. Two weeks later a drawing pencil was missed. That, he says, was found in the same caapan Monday of last week the teacher of Room No. 3 reported that Maud Sheridan had in her possession a paper pad which belonged to Louisa Scharber Mr. Ft®rtig had no t.me to investigate the case then, he says, but next day Mrs. Sheridan appeared in his office. This is a part of the conversa- tion, as remembered by the principal: “Mr. Fertig, what's the matter with you and Maud now?" “IT don’t know, Mrs, Sheridan, because I have not investigated the charge.” “You have accused my little girl of steal- ‘“T cannot give you the facts, because I have not verified them yet.”’ “Sir, you’re a dirty cur, a dirty puppy and a Kansas City hoosier. You think you're somebody, but you can’t run over me or my children.” “You leave the room, madame.”’ “T’'ll go when I get ready. Touch me if you dare and I'll fill you full. of lead!” The principal claims Mrs. Sheridan re- eated’ her remarks in the hallway in.a oud voice. She then went down to the girls’ landing and said them all over again, with resence of the school and Maud was. VICTOR HUGO WIS RIGHT. A Plain Fact But a Tormenting Truth, “He Who Is Sick Is Never Alone, For He Has Sickness Constantly With Him.”’ Victor Hugo once said: “He who is hungry is not alone, for he has his hunger always with him.” The modern version of this might be: “He who is sick is never alone, fdr he has his sickness constantly with him.” | But what a companion! He is like the criminal who found himself shackled to a corpse, his days are miserable, and his nights a nightmare.

Boland’s son for a policeman, but when the officer arrived Mrs. Sheridan had gone. Mrs. Sheridan Uves In a little cottage half a block from the Gratiot School building. She is divorced from her husband and makes a living by washing. She has twe children in school] and a 16-year-old boy at work. ‘This trouble bégan,”’ she sa'd, “a while before Christmas. When one of my little girls came home Ed said her teacher was tak ng up a collection to buy Mr. Fertig a present. I've got no nickels for anything but bread and clothing, and so I wrote a note to the teacher, aski what the money was wanted for. She bol x replied that it was to get a Christmas gift for the princi- al. . “Rather than see my little girl humiliate? by her inability to pay, I reported the roject to Supt. Soldan. They have had it n for us ever since. Everything that. was missed from school has been laid onto Maud. All this, too, without notifying me. I was the one most inierested, but Mr. Fertig never sent word to me, and I am only a few steps distant. ‘fast Monday my little girl came down and said the principal taken her to his room, with two boys, and had asked them all to turn out their pockets. They did that, and then Mr. Fertig accused Maud of stealing a paper pad. “IT went over there as quickly as I could. Yes, I gave him a good lecture. I called him a ansas City hoosier, and told him he wasn’t working for the Armour Packing Co. now, and he couldn't run over me. Yes, I said that and more. There ig no man to protect me and my children, and I ropose to.take care of my household. Maud had bought a paper pad that very morning with money I had given her.” The woman was vinegary over the affair and gave the names of half a dozen per- sons whose children, she said, been suspended on frivolous_charges. The community is somewhat divided on the merits of the @ontroversy, and the whole matter has been referred to Supt. Soldan and the Board of Directors. ALBERT TOLCH IS ALIVE. The Shot Which Reposes in His Skull Did Not Kill. The $5000 damage suit of Albert Tolch ‘against Chief of Detectives Desmond was on trial Tuesday morning in Division No. 6 of the Circuit Court, Judge Ellison pre- siding. Albert Tolch, the boy who was struck in the head six years ago by a bullet intended for a wild steer, is not dead as reported. He has a bullet at the base of his brain, rand is short a piece of frontal bone the size of a half dollar. As evidence that he is still alive he has at homea fine baby and a happy wife. The testimony for the plaintiff was start- ed jate Monday evening. The wild steer hunt was graphically de- scribed by several witnesses, and accord- ing to their story the man that fired the shot thet struck Tolch was a very poor shot. — The steer, pursued by a wagon load of police officers, was chased up onto the side- walk on Clark avenue, about midway be- and Twelfth atreet. The wagon load of policemen was on the etreet shooting in the direction of the building. Desmond was shooting from a window of the Four Courts at the steer, who was almost immediately beneath him. Tolch, then a 14-year-old boy—for all this happened im July, 1892—was standin A Wagon on the opposite side of Clark ave- nue, fully 100 feet away from the window where Desmond was. The firat thing anyone knew about it at all was when the boy threw his hand to his head and dropped to the street. standers rushed to him, and yelled to the police to stop firing. long time. Pieces of bone were taken from his forehead and about a tablespoonful o brains were removed. The bullet trave along the outer lobes of the brain, and it is now claimed is still inside of his skull. His attorneys claim that his mind is in of brain matter, and the @ressure of the bullet imeide. The defense is attempting to show that Deamond did not fire the shot that struck the boy, advancing the theory that It was a rebounding bal! that hit him. THE MILL CREEK EXPLOSION.

George Will Stand Up in School and Do His Level Best to An- swer Them. Afier refusing to fight Maher or any other heavyweight, except Fitzsimmons, Jim Corbett ainee arriving at Chicago has changed his mtnd. Corbett now offers to do battle with A lightweight and the man he expresses @ wish to meet is no other than George Siler. the man who refereed the mil] between Corbett and Fitzsimmons at Carson City. The ex-champion of the world, having dodged the main issue, has now taken an- other tack and one that promises to be vold of blood-letting, hair-puliing, gouging and those other pleasantries which go hand in hand with a real encounter in the ring. This is what Corbett proposes to do: He will take Siler and a representative of every paper in Chicago into a room. It is to be agreed first that the meeting is to be an altogether soc‘able one, Corbett is to ask Siler a number of questions. Siler is to re- ply to them as best he can. Then Siler can ask Corbett as many questions as ne pleases The one who is caught in a false- hood is to be branded something worse than a falsifier. One falsehood is to make the entire list. of replies one g'gantic falsehood on either side. Corbett will agree to abide by the judgment of the newspaper men in the matter. If Siler is pronounced right Corbett will submit to the verdict and for- ever after keep his peace on the referee question. If Corbett is pronounced right, it is not stated what is to happen to Siler. One of the questions which Corbett put to Siler has already beer answered by Nat Goodwin, who happens to be in Chicago. Corbett insisted that Siler had sent Good- win telegrams frpm Cars@n City to bet on Fitzsimmons. To this statement Goodwin replied: “I dislike te be mixed up in this matter at all as it is far out of my line. Stil I am willing to go any distance to set my friends right. I have known George Siler only a short time. It is true that he was introduced to me by Houseman. was in my dressing room here, and we had perhaps a chat of two mingtes or so, I did not see him again until after the fight. I did not bet much money, exactly how much I cannot tell now. It was probablv $3,000. I am sorry Corbett has gaid there was any unfairness shown. Of course I was not there to see for myself, but all the good judges I have seen and talked witn have told me there was nothing but a fair contest. I am gorry, too, he should have said Siler gave me any tips. You cannot be too emphatie in my denial of *this.’’ Siler refereed the glove fight at Cleveland last night in which Joe Gans of Baltimore and Frank Garrard of Cleveland took part. He will be back In Chicago to-day and then that new-fashioned ,gabfest in which he and Corbett wil! piay the leading parts will take piace. Lou Houseman has also taken a shot at Corbett in this controversy. He says: “In a word, James J. Corbett, you have not got a leg to stand on. If Siler ever meets you in any sort of a discussion he will make you out a lar and an imbecile. Your cheap assault on the grandest man who ever fat in judgment on a fight is villainous. You were beaten at Carson City by a man 39 pounds lighter than: yourself and you lie when you state that your conqueror weighed 180 pounds. The champion to-day, overcoat and all, does not geale within 10 pounds of that weight, and if your igno- rance on the weight subject is not feigned I will close by telling you that you lost the heavy-weight championship of the world to a man who weighed two pounds inside the middle-weight limit—156 pounds. Siler did push you back in the sixth round while Fitz was on his knees, and he did it in erder to keep you from burning your friends’ money up on a foul, as you did with poor little Mitchell at Jacksonville.” Was Jim Corbett honest a few days since when he offered to guarantee Fitz $35,000 if he remained in a ring’ with him 10 rounds without being knocked out? Did Fitz say: “Put your $10,000 in a bank, remove the string, let me see it, and introduce me to the man who will offer the remaining $25,000, which is mine if I stay 10 rounds?’’ So far it iis not of record that Fitz did. Now, Jim and Bob, whatever else they are out for, are out for ads. They are gluttons for taking that sort of thing. Wherefore, if for no other reason, Fitz should have investigated the liberal offer of ‘his rival. He should have called Jim through the newspapers. How + and gayly {tt could have been done— all gratis. And then, when the thing was laid bare, there would have been a fight or some one would have stood revealed a veri- table monkey. BOXING IN SAN FRANCISCO. The Authorities Will Permit the Match Between Choynski and Tut Ryan. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 18.—Boxing is to be revived in San Francisco during the month of February. The Board of Super- vision have granted the Emp!re Club a per- mit for a boxin show some time next month. Applications from several other clubs for permits were before the board, but all were rejected. The Emp'!re Club will bring off a %-round go between Joe Choynski and Tut Ryan, the Austral‘an. The preliminary will be between Tom Lansing and Henry Baker. The managers of the clubs which have been left out in the cold are somewhat at a loss to understand why the applications should have been rejected and the Empire Club favored, The Occidental Club made application for a 2%-round contest between Peter Jackson and Peter Maher, but were unsuccessful, BARKSDALE RINGING CASE, ‘Goldblatt Claims He Alone Is Guilty in | the Jersey Boy Case. | BARKSDALE, Md., Jin. 18.—The Jersey Boy “ringing” confession made by Moses Goldblatt. He said in effect that he and he alone engin- eered the whole deal. He claims to have waited in the woods between Iron Hill and Barkedale and met the boy who was lead- ing Jersey Boy back to the irain. Goldblatt said he had Sidney Bender hid- den In the woods, and when the boy came along he sent him for a drink. While the boy was gone Goldblatt claims to have aub- stituted Sydney Bender for Jersey Boy, whom he concealed in the woods until the boy. was gone. He eaid he knew the boy with Jersey Boy would have to pass througn those woods, and that he had the parties in the out-of-the-town poolrooms betting on the horse which ran as Jersey Boy. ~ Henry Schultz. who is largely interested in the Weir & Worley combine, is leaving ne etone unturned to secure the reinetate- ment of Frank Weir and Arthur Worley.

Yes, and needlessly. They are often troubled with beadaches of various kinds, with indigestion, parched lips, bearing-down sen- sations, constipatiou—all of which make life any- thing but. pleasant, and the world anything but bright. Now, this is all needless. Women of European countries do not suffer in this manner to such an extent, and the reason is that they have discovered the secret of avoiding it. American women have not all learned the secret. There is npon the market what is known here and abroad as Wills’ English Pills. They are made of the purest ingredients and they are always effective. by their use the distressing symptoms above noted can be and are readily removed. Their worth has been thoroughly proven, and they are growing in populerity every day. Many of the leading fam- ilies of St. Louis have adopted their use as a fam- ily medicine, and the results bave shown them- selves to be most gratifying. Indeed, the only real test of worth is what can be accomplished and one trial will amply prove this. Is it any wonder there is such a demand for these pills when they cure disease, while so many other preparations that claim to do this actually 9 ot? du not AN OPEN CHALLENGE BICYCLISTS, DEFIES THE WORLD. The American Champion Is Ready to Meet Him or Any Other of the Great European Riders. The kettle is piping hot at local L. A. W. headquarters just now. There was a big crowd there this morn- ing to see Jay Eaton, the indoor king, and he was given a warm welcome to St. Louis. Early this morning Eaton authorized the Post-Dispatch to announce that he would ride any man in the world for the indoor championship. Eaton said: “Iam ready to ride against any bicyclist in the world. I will put up $500, and whoever accepts can put up another $500. Then, I understand, the Indoor Cycling Club are willing to add any amount to this main stake that will prove satisfactory to both parties. My challenge includes all the world’s cham- pions. I am willing to meet Lehr, Sanger, Cooper, Bald, Tayloure, Michael or any of them on these terms. The races to be one, two and three mile heats, bést two in three; or one, three and five mile heats, best two in three; or all one mile heats, best two in three, unpaced, single paced, or tandem paced. This challenge will remain open un- til further notice. I would like to see some one of the European riders accept my chal- penee, Lehr, the German champion, pre- erred.”’ Eaton wants the crack riders who think they can beat him to accept this challenge quickly so that the race can be run off here on the new track in the Coliseum. Talking about his challenge he said: Lehr, the German champion, soon after his arriv- alin this country, offered to-ride any one a match race for $1000. I accepted his challenge and placed $100 in the hands of Pat Powers, president of the Eastern Base Ball League, to make good. But strange to say, I have not heard a word from Lehr since, If he means business let him accept my present #hal- lenge and come here without delay.’’ The indoor king thinks there are natives of America who can beat Michael. He names Walter Simpkins of Chicago as the young- ster likely to beat him, and as the greatest follower of pace he ever saw: Secretary Rosen thinks Mike Lang and Joe Howard of St. Louis, who are great »ace followers, will ichael’s scalp. While in Chicago Eaton saw George Kramer, one of the nerviest indoor riders in America. He will be here to ride in the Coliseum tournament, some day take A dispatch from Bob Waltham, the cham- ion of the South, was received this morn- ng. It stated that he would be here by Thursday night. The 72-hour bicycle race, or monstrosity, or whatever you want to call it, will be commenced in the Exposition Building, Pittsburg, next Sunday night. Schinneer of Chicago, who is going to take part, says the list of entries is the best he has seen for a 72-hour race, He thinks the winner will cover 1,300 miles at least. Elkes in- dorsed this opinion, and added: ‘‘The best 72-hour riders in the world are here, and it is natural expect that if all goes well the record will be broken.’’ The riders are working hard on the track every day, and the new track is in high favor among them. Waller and Miller are both in splen- did condition, and there is already some lively speculafion as to how they will finish. A Dead Game Sport. Sterling Elliott is a dead-game sport, if he does publish the L. A. W. Bulletin. He sent word from Boston by a well-known cyclist of cane that he had $2000 to bet that George Gideon not only would be a ‘candidate for president of the League of American Wheelmen, but would be elected ‘to that office. ‘‘Senator’’ Morgan of Chi- cago was deputized to act as commissioner to receive the money. Any gentleman in | the League of American Wheelmen, with ‘sporting. proclivities, is cordially invited to call bilott's bluff. Jockeys Fined. At New Orleans yesterday the sensation 'of the day was the discovery of an electric 'devica for nefarious use in the possession | of R. Rodgers, a small owner and trainer, | ane this led to the issuance of the following order: “St. maoere Jockey Castro ‘and Jockey Chinn are fined $@ each for having brought or the grounds or having had in their pos- | session during the meeting an imitation | lead pad containing an electric battery so arranged as to stimulate the speed of a horse. The case ainst the wther parties implicated in the affair is continued,” A Wheel for Soldiers. | A wheel that will be appreciated by the ‘slow riding brigade or military service, has ‘an attachment of two steel supports that ‘drop to the ground when a brake-like ap- ‘pliance on the handle bars is lightly touched. Upon these supports the bicycle rests and the rider can,come to a stand- still and use his hand? for any purpose without dismounting. When not in use the supports are folded up aga'nst the front ferk. The inventor’s idea is that by the use of the attachment bodies of military whee}- men can come to a sudden halt, fire on the enemy and reload rifles without dismount- | ing. Sparring at Pascale’s. There will be a big athletic tournament ‘at Frank Pascale’s on next Friday night. The big card will be the meeting between Jimmy Murray and the best men at Pag- _cale’s. Murray will box six-rounds with any lightweight who may care to face him. There will also be other sparring and wrestling events. Champion Featherweight Wrestler. George T. G.

The formal announcement of the suspension of a board member for whose account a considerable line of stocks was sold out was also a deterrent factor. Stock values during the second hour generally gravitated toward a lower plane on reduced offer. ings, which resulted in practically the entire lst receding below yesterday's close.

From a hamlet to a town—to a city, in this incredibly short time, Lincoln has grown with the wonderful progressiveness looked for only in the West—a splendid ex- ample of the indomitable pertinacity of one strong man. Like most forceful men, Mayor Drake must see results before giving his approval; but when convinced he speaks out hi@ mind without fear or favor of any one, There is no tesitation among Mayor Drake's friends in saying that Paine’s ceal- ery compound has been of the utmost help in enabling him to do a prodigious amount of work, and to get rid of that insomnia that at one time resulted from every pro- longed effort.

DRAKE, Nothing demoralizes the health sooner or more completely than even ¢he occasional loss of sleep, To start & new day with the brain unrefreshed is like trying to keep a worn-out hogse up to his work with the whip instead of by feeding. The incessant brain activity is as if the ekull were laid bare and the surface of the brain were struck lightly every few seconds and with-— out a sign of a “let-up.” This sleeplessness imperceptibly, but no g Pp - & v2 less surely, destroys the brain cells thatare =~ = the sources of mental power and the health of every organ of the body. Paine’s celery com system out of this dangerous rut of sleep- leasness. It supplies nourishment to the ner- vous tisSues faster than they are worn out, and does not let the nutrition of these de}i- cate paste get low enough to bring on somnia, One of the earliest evidences of the final success of Paine’s celery compound in cur- ing debility, nervousness, siee sness and derangements of liver and — a | increased appetite, the clearer n that indescribable precursor. of health, a feeling of “well being’ that takes the place of the tired, ignguid, melancholy condition. ae ———— a WHEN YOU WANT TO LO BRIGHT SIDE OF THINGS, USE SAPOL OK ON THE . at 2 onde 1O- “NORTH AND SOUTH CASE. Pike County Has ‘One and the Bill Must Be Signed. * The Court of Appeals Tuesday decided a mandamus case from Pike County which has a strong resemblance to the North and South Railway bill case. The Pike County case comes from Louls- jana, Mo. J. W. Dreyfus, John W. Matson, W. T. Findly, Joseph Smith and James C. ,l. Thompson, members of the City Council of Louisiana, applied to Judge Reuben F. Ray of the Pike County circuit for a writ of mandamus against Patrick F. Lonergan, Mayor of Leulsiana, to compel him to sign an ordinance passed by the Council and which he declined to sign. The members of the Council represented to the court that the Council was composed of eight members, presided over by the Mayor, who had mo veto power and was only entiled to vote in case of a tile. At the session of May 4, 1897, an ordinance was passed reorganizing all of the Council committees and ousting all of the Mayor's Committeemen, putting in their places mem- bers of the opposition, who voted for the measure. The President of the Council was requested to sign the bill, but refused to 0 0. In his return to the writ, the Mayor said that the ordinance should have had a two- thirds vote in order to become a law, and that ever since 1849 it had uniformly been the custom and conceded right of the Mayor to appoint the several committees of the City Council. The ordinance, he said, was only intended for the purpose of hindering and crippling the administration of city affairs. The Court of Appeals holds that after an ordinante has been passed the Mayor has no discretion ‘n the case, but must sign the bill whether he likes it or not. Judge Roy is sustained in issuing per- emptory writ of mandamus compelling Lon- ergan to sign the bill. The derision fs ren- dered by Judge Bond and ig coincided in by Judge Bland. Judge Biggs concurs tn the ultimate conclusion arrived at, but 4 not sence in the opinion as set forth by Judge on Parker’s Headache Powders Cure any headache quickly. Price We. Safe and eure.
