W. Wright ‘“‘Bossie”’ Francis Told by a Post- Dispatch Staff Correspond- ent at the Scene. Special to the Post-Dispatch. HOLDEN, Mo., Aug 3#0.—At 1 o'clock to- day a posse of about 50 men left Holden for the wire bridge about four miles north. It was reported that John Hardin, an uncle of Francis, Holden Thursday and bought a lot of groceries. When he got to the bridge, which is about two miles from his home, and the coal mine into which the blood- hounds were sent Thursday afternoon, he is reported to have thrown off several packages of food for Francis. It had just rained and tracks were found in the mud near the bridge. It is claimed that the impression of Francis’ distorted right foot is among the tracks. The posse be- lieves that it is now on the track of the murderer. **Bossie”’ From a Post-Dispatch Staff Correspondent. HOLDEN, Mo., Aug. 30.—For three days 1000 men from two counties, with guns and bloodhounds, have been hunting for ‘'Bos- sie “Francis, the negro who attempted to outrage and then murdered Miss May Hen- derson, on the Hyatt farm, near Columbus, Johnson County. The search has so far proved fruitless, and this afternoon many of the hunters are returning to their homes. The feeling is gaining that Francis has escaped from this part of the state. In the searching parties were men gath- ered from the towns of Warrensburg, Odessa, Holden, Chapel Hill, Centerview, Hazel Hill, Pittsville, Elm, Columbus and Greendoor and the farming country about them. From 300 to 500 men will continue the search. This man hunt is one of the most re- markable spectacles ever witnessed in Mis- souri. Everyone has forsaken his ordinary pursuit and joined in the chase. There is no boasting, and no threats. The hunters are grim men bent on a terrible revenge if they find the guilty man, for there can be no doubt that Fran- cis, failing in his purpose to outrage Miss Henderson, murdered her. Every road in Columbus township hung heavy with the dust raised by the cavalcades of determined men. ys IDEAL HIDING PLACE. Columbus Township in Johnson County Is an ideal hiding place. Its topography is admirably adapted for the sequestration of a criminal. Its surface is made up of hills and hollows for the most part covered with a dense forest undergrowth. Along Blackwater creek and in the “dark cor- ners,”” so called on account of its negro population, are mines with chambers in which an armed man could hold an army at bay. | Through this undergrowth and in these mines men have crawled on their hands and knees searching for Francis, who has been known to most of them since his childhood. That he has escaped capture is remarkable, for it would seem that ev- ery foot of ground within miles of the scene of his crime has been searched, and every country road and every mile of rail- road has been carefully guarded and pa- trolled. The general opinion of the country people is that Francis has been hidden and is being succored by the negroes who live thereabouts. Francis was born in the vicinity and has many relatives living therein. His grand- father was Cato Francis, who was a drum- mer boy for Gen. Stonewall Jackson, and was respected by the whites and revered by the negroes of the county. Francis is intelligent and possessed of much cunning, and with no funds and nothing to eat has managed to either hide himself or work his way out of the country. There are rumors a-plenty. Every hour a new tip comes in as to his whereabouts and a posse is hur- ried off, generally to disappointment. Late Thursday night it was rumored in Holden that Francis had been seen hurrying to- ward Post Oak, five mileg south of here, at noon, while the men of Columbus township were scouring the woods in the vicinity of Hyatt’s farm with bloodhounds. A posse was sent toward Post Oak on his trail and had not returned late Thursday night. Opinion as to whether Francis has es- caped the country is divided, but the far- mers and citizens of Johnson County will not relinquish their search until he is found, and when he is captured he will be killed without mercy and probably on the scene of his crime Wednesday night four men, Joe and Charles Briscoe, cousins of Francis, and Emmett Davenport, all negroes, and Peter Lanners, a white mine worker, were ar- rested and sent to the county jail in War- rensburg, for attempting to aid Francis to escape, Feeling against the negroes is in- tense, and they were strung up until they were nearly dead. The sheriff took Lanners to jail to protect him from possible harm. PREPARATIONS FOR MAN HUNT. The scenes at Chap. Hyatt’s house in Co- lumbus at noon Thursday, were vharacter- istic of the feeling of the people of the com- munity. isioodhounds had been sent for to track Francis, and as early as 9 o'clock in the morning people began to gather. _Hyatt's farm is the largest and richest in the county. His house would be an orna- ment to a city street. He is a rich cattie breeder, and his relatives and friends are the leaders of the social circjes:in the coun- and in the towns of the county. Man ba” he bloodhounds were brought an., and arrived ath n charge S cneneeeeeenneaaaineminatianiameiaemetae had come to; With a Trapeze Performer Named Mollett—Letter From Them at Bardwell, Ky. Emory Hitch of Peoria, Ill., leading hie two boys by their hands, searched in St. Louis and Belleville for his wife until his last penny had been spent. He came to a standstill in Belleville Thursday afternoon with nothing for him- self or the boys to eat, nowhere to sleep and no means of getting back home. He had been married ten years Laey in Peoria. to a pretty and vivacious woman. had two children, bright.poys of 9 and 7. A month betore that Ollie Molieit, a dark, dashing sort of feliow, had arrived in the town, had made the acquaintance of Emory hitch, wno was a cierK In a Carpet score, and had been invited to the home of Hitch. Hie was working at a trade then, but he said that he hau been a trapeze performer. Mrs. Hitch became fascinated with him, but her husband suspected nothing. Six weeks ago, while her husband was at the store, sirs. Hitch kissed the boys go0od-by and told them to be good until she came pack. She ieft the house, Neitner = husband nor her children have seen her since. Ville Mollett disappeared the same day and has not been seen in Peoria since. Hitch did not biame his wire. He lieved she had fallen under some sort of unnatural influence. tie sought for her alugently. _At iast he learned from a friend in St. Louis that his wife and Mollett had been stopping at a boarding house kept by a Mrs. Johnson at Leffingwell avenue and Kugenia street. This friend had seen her ineve and sne hau toi nim tnat if she Should see her husband she would have to &0 back to him. Hitch conciuded that if she was to see him and the chiidren she would be certain to return to her deserted home. Sunday morning he dressed the boys as his wife had been wont to dress them on Sundays and came to St. Louis. He did not find his wife at the Eugenia street house. Mrs. Johnson had promised the couple that She would not “give them away,’’ but the sight of the motherless boys touched her heart and she told Hitch that Moiiett had gone to Bardwell, Ky., where he obtained a position, and had then sent for Mrs. Hitch, and she had gone there to rejoin him. She gave hitch a letter wnich she had received from Mrs. Hitch, announcing her arrival at Bardwell, and in which she said that “Ollie’’ had met her at the train. There was a& postscript from‘‘Ollie.’ Both asked her not to “give them away.” There was a possibility in the mind of Mrs. Johnson that they had carried out an expressed intention of getting an enguve- ment at Edgemont Park, near Belleville, a3 a trapeze team after Mrs. Hitch had joined Mollett at Bardwell. Still clinging to the hope of finding his wife and win- ing her back with the boys, Hitch went across the river and out to Edgemont Park at the bluffs. The couple never had been there, Hitch had been so intent in his search for his wife that he had not noticed that the $15 he had brought with him had dwindled away. He had only 15 cents left. Without knowing why, he took the car toward Belleville. He landed there with only a nickel in his pocket. ‘The boys were hungry. He bought them buns with the nickel. Hitch told his story to Chief of Tolice Heidinger and the chief went with him tv the telegraph office and paid for a tele- gram to Peoria for money, which did not come until Friday morning. A sympa- thetic listener to the tale of Hitch gave him money for shelter for himself and the boys over night. Mrs. Hitch is a daughter of James P. Johnson, president of the Peoria Coal Drill works. er father is wealthy and she was carefully reared. THE TWO PROPHETS AGREE Dr..

Her Son Says Husband Struck Her, but He Declares He Only Pushed Her Aside During a Little Quarrel About Money. Henry Norman, aged 19 years, shot his stepfather, Alexander Thompson, early Fri- day morning at their home, 923 Cass ave- nue. Thompson is in a serious condition at the City Hospital. He is wounded in the left side of the neck and may be bleeding internally. Norman, who is a prisoner at the Fifth district police station, told the police at the time of hiS arresl, tnat nis slepiaiher hau been beating his raother and that he shot to save her life. George Norman, Henry’s younger broth- er, who witnessed the shooting, tells a similar story of it. Mrs. Mary Thompson, in whose defense the shooting occurred, accompanied her husband to the City Hospital. Thompson is employed in the American Car and Foundry works at Madison, lil. Norman works at the John Rohan & Son Boiler works. Thompson was married two years ugo to his present wife, who was then Mrs. Mary Norman. Her four children, of whom Henry is the eldest, have lived with them on the third floor of the house at 323 Cass avenue. George Norman says that tor several months his stepfather has been drinking and abusing his wife. “A week age,’ he said, ‘‘my brother made Thompson stop beating “my mother, and there has been trouble between them since. Last night, Henry asked Thonipson to vay him 25 cents which he had been ow- ng him for a month. 2 “*You'd better quit talking about that quarter,” he told my brother, who said nothing more about it. “This morning my mother asked my stepfather for some money to buy grocer- ies. He cursed her and knocked her down. Then he commenced beating her on the floor. “My brother and [I were in the next room in bed. Henry called out to the oid man to let mother go or he would shoot him. Then he took his pistol out of the bureau drawer and fired.” ; ‘ After being locked up in the station Nor- man refused to talk.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Aug. 30.—J. N. Gal- braith, superintendent of the northern i di- vision of the Mexican National Ralliroad, and C. H. Yaeger, a business man of La- redo, say the conditions in Zapata County are pitiful. They have visited the county and have seer the suffering of the people. They say absolutely no green thing grew in the county this season and the cprn crop was short last summer. Atter scouring the city the Zapata County relief committee discovered that thére was not a carioafl of corn for saie in san An- tonio. A car was ordered from Kansas City, but the delay is likely to prove aisas- trous, as the situation in the famine strick- en county ts acute. The people are actually starving. There are many difficulties in the way. of relieving them besides the scarcity of corn. The county is 60 miles from the railroad, and ali supplies will have to be hauled over a sard road. requiring two days for the trip from Laredo. Other Texas citles are responding to the appeal for aid. Galveston, remembering) its own hour of need, has sent $300 for the pur- chase of supplies. The great difficulty is that the sudterints people will have to be supported after their first needs are satis- fied, until rain brings the means of sup- porting themselves. This is, of course, un- certain. The Texas Legislature has not yet shown signs of coming to the rescue, although it has been urged to extend aid. JOSEPH MAAS HAS LEFT HOME Reproved by His Mother for a Slight Offense This 16-Year-Old Boy Has Disappeared—Mother Is Heartbroken. Joseph Maas, aged 16, left bie Rome, 2908 St. Louis avenue, at 6:30 o'clock Wednes- day morning to go to work and has not been seen since. The boy did not report to his employérs, the R. A. Linde Carpet Co,, 907 North Broadway, at all Wednesday and his rela- tives are much alarmed. His leaving home Is attributed to some neighborhoou gossip concerning him, which was carried to his mother Tuesday. It was an affair of smal) moment and she rebuked him accordingly Tuesday night. Otherwise Joseph is a hard-working home-loving boy and has never evinced a desire to leave home. His aged mother is almost heartbroken over his disappearance. The boy is described as having brown hair, large blue eyes and a fair complex- on. He is about 5 feet 3 inches in height and is strong, but not stout. Wednesday morning he wore his working clothes, which consisted of a soft hat heavy shoes, white and biack stri; trousers, checked coat and reddish per- cale shirt made full in the front. He had no money with him and had evi- dently made no plans for leaving home. -HABEAS CORPUS FOR LARK. The Negro sused o Accused of Miss Wild’s Murder at Peirce City.

During the greater part of its existence it has slumbered in committee. The House of Delegates, after deliberat- ing on the Council measure three weeks, proposes by the amendments added to de- prive the Board of Public Improvements of the authority to select fenders, and, in- stead. to vest this administrative power in a commission to be composed of the rall- roads committees of the Council and House, “If that were done,’ said City Counselor Schnurmacher, when asked for an opinion as to the House amendments by Secretary Mochler of the Council, ‘‘a startling depar- ture from legislative customs would be es- tablished. I=do not say, -because I have not looked into the question closely, that the House amendments involve a violation of the city charter. I do Know, however, that for the Municipal Assembly to assume this administrative function would be to fix an unheard-of precedent. The revised bill will be presented to the City Council for action riday evening. There is no disposition on the part of the members of ane compen to approve the bill in its present shape. “We shall probably call on Mr. Schnur- macher for a written opinion of-the House amendments,” _~ | —— to the Post-Dispatch. ‘‘Surely we do not see our wa 7 oleae to interfere with the Board of Public Improvements by depriving it of its legal functions.

The committee consists of Judge John A. Talty, Judge William Zachritz, Albert Griffin, Sam D. Hodgdon and Dr. Henry Lioyd.

When the dogs arrived the Hyatt house was “rowded with mourners who had come to attend the funeral of Miss Henderson, the hearse was before the door, and the yard was full of mounted and armed men who bad assembled to follow the dogs on Francis’ trail, A hundred vehicles filled the yard. Men armed with rifles, shotguns and , revolvers of all styles, some of them dating to ante-bellum days, stood about and talked about the crime and the punishment to be meted to Francis. They gazed at the sum- mer kitchen wherein Francis assaulted Miss Henderson and pointed out the window through which she jumped and the splotch of blood on the ground, THE NEGRO’S CRIME. The scene of this manhunt and the crime that caused it is 60 miles from Kansas City. The crime committed by Francis is as brutal and awful as any for which men have been mobbed in the: South. Francis, whose nickname was ‘“Bossie,’’ had worked five years on the stockfarm of “Chap” Hyatt, a Hereford cattle breeder of Calum- bus, a village 14 miles northeast of Holden. He was regarded as one of the best ne- groes in the county. Nearly everyone in the country round about Knew ‘Bossie’’ Francis for a courteous, quiet, reliable ne- gro. He received good wages from his em- ployer and had accumulated a smal! pron. erty of his own, notably a fine mare which was the envy of many of the farmers, who had vainly tried to buy her from the ne- Germans Think United States the Cause of Boer, Spanish and South American Wars.

These causes are: The dangerous and unlawful rate of speed made neces- aary by time schedules. Worthless fenders, » Inadequate brakes ior heavy cars. There is no doubt that the great majority of death: vy street cars are directly due to these causes, all three being contribu- tory. Of course carelessness is often contributory, but the causes cited help to make carelessness fatal. The directors and other officers of the St. Louis Transit Co. could easily prove the sincerity of their desire to prevent the killing of human beings on the streets by equipping the cars, with good fenders and adequate brakes and enforcing a safe rate of speed. The Municipal Assembly could protect the people by requir- ing*the equipment of the cars with life-saving fenders and ade- quate brakes. Why talk of the Municipal Assembly’s power to protect the people when the combine in the House of Delegates, regard- less of the li and limbs of the people, is juggling with the fender bill for tobbing purposes? ».+.4. > i is Arkansas is a very useful state this year, with her great apple crop, which is beginning to move. ‘= SS rw OUR PEACH CROP. In advertising the greatness of Missouri and the Louisiana territory in preparation for the Wor!ld’s Fair, it will be well to call attention to our peach crop in this year of drouth. The European papers will doubtless have told their readers all labout the drouth, but the chances are they may say little or nothing of the peach and apple crops that have shown so strikingly the resources of the great West. Pictures of the country roads in St. Louis County lined for miles with baskets of peaches waiting their turn to be hauled into St. Louis would surprise Europeans, especially the people in the British isles, where peaches are hothouse products, nev- er seen in abundance. The advice to put up plenty of peaches for the winter while the prices are low is good. There is nourishment as well as de- light for the palate in fhis fruit, and the sugar used in pre- serving is of great value in winter diet. By taking advantage of the abundance of peaches at this time city housekeepers will benefit the growers as well as themselves. =] = ad i a If coal does not exist in the Philippines, and there is little iron, with few copper deposits, no silver and only smal! quan- tities of gold, ought not Spain to be honest enough to give us back that $20,000,000 we paid her for islands of which she was not mistress? - = S | i a 4 The present record-breaking dry goods trade of St. Louis is another of the great increases of the World's Fair City.

Vanderbilt assures us through the public prints that wealth is a burden to him, , All the joys of life, all the ambition, all the pleasures of _ the chase for a reputation, all the madness of the search for success have been taken from him, he says, by the fatal gift of riches. Sad, sad lot! Poor, rich Vanderbilt! One cannot help pitying a man like that. Imagine a man without ambition. What fs he? Naught. In Mr. Vanderbilt's case it is several naughts. Having many millions of dollars at his command, with probably as much as #4 in his inside vest pocket at any given time, Mr. Vanderbilt has never experi- enced the striking, not to say instructive, pleasure of living in an $18 flat, getting up at 5:30 o’clock, ante-meridian, and helping his wee, small wife get breakfast, all the time keeping his eye on the clock for fear of consequences, frequently cutting his fru- gal meal four bites short, to be sure of reaching the office on time. Let Willie K. cast aside his despised millions for as much as four weeks and try the management, as well as the regi- men, of a flat. It is a sure cure for ennui, a promotor of thought and the short road to activity. Let him cast up his monthly bills—just once. He will be wholly resigned to his lot. An experience with a flat may be said to be a sort of “gold cure” for dissatisfied millionaires. DROUTH PROFITS. “Smith has just started q@ million-dollar bank account.’’ ‘Where did he get the money?

C. Whitney won it last year with Bey, and it is conceded that he good chance to capture it again ‘Many of the Futurity candidates were gent for the final trials over the Coney Island Jockey Club’s course early yester- aay morning and a small sized army of spectators was on hand to time them. J. E. Madden's Flywheel furnished & Surprise even to the best informed by run- ning three quarters of a mile in 1:13 1+4, and finishing strong. Numeral, Perry Bel- mont’s candidate, was reported to have one the same distance in 1:13 on Wednes- y. W. C. Whitney’s candidate attract- ed the lion’s share of attention. Nastur- tum was not hurried, covering the d's- tance in 1:171-5. King Hanover and Gold- smith, Mr. Whitney’s other entries, re- mained in the stable. Yankee and Blue Girl, owned jointly by Mr. Whitney and John E. Madden, ran the three-quarters in 1:15 1-4 and 1:15 1-2 respectively. W. O. Scully sent The Ba- ron, John Daly's only entry, seven-eighths of a mile in 1:28. eter Wimmer sent J. B.

Despite Flywheel’s fast work, horsemen like Nasturtium’s chances best, and he robably will go to the post a favorite. he race is regarded as an open affair and the victory of any one of the eight Jjhorses would not be a great surprise, It Is a Race of Millionaires. This year’s Futurity will be a race of the millionaires. The poor man has no look-in at all. The mililonaires can afford to own the best horses, and they do. The array of wealth which will be repre- sented at the post in the Futurity is many millions. William C. Whitney, many times @& mil- lionaire, ex-Secretary of the Navy, & rail- way magnate of immense power, &@ man who has more interests at his fingers ends than perhaps any man in the world, will be represented by Nasturtium, King Hanove and ee three of the best 2-year-oids on the turf. For Nasturtium Mr. Whitney paid $25,000 simply for the running ee of the colt. He wanted to win the Futurity. The $25,000 was a mere bagatelle com- pared to the satisfaction of his desires. Mr. Whitney wanted to win the English Derby. He based the running qualities of the fastest colt in England, Volodyovski. Price was no object. t mattered not to Mr. Whitney if England’s wealthiest_men were in competition for this colt. Mr. Whit- all ney secured him and he won the Derby. Mr. Whitney wanted to win last year’s Futurity. he wanted to beat his rival in Wall street, James R. Keene. Mr. Whitney had the horse, Ballyhoo Bey, but he had no jockey. Result—Tod Sloan, the premier jockey of the world, left his successful English campaign and came over especially to ride Ballyhoo Bey in the Futurity. Ballyhoo Bey won. ’ Mr. Keene was second and Mr. Whit- ney experienced the keenest gratification. Mr. Whitney’s rivals this season includé many millionaires who have as much money as he has. ; August Belmont, who ware millions in United States bonds when it pleases him; who makes and unmakes great railroads at will; whose word in the great money mart is law; who is the head and front of the Jockey Club, and who is a large and en- thusiastic breeder, is represented by Mas- terman. Perry Belmont, brother of August Bel- a —— ; mont, a man also of many millions, a man who has much say in the politics of the sate | and nation, is represented by Nu- mera], J. B.

President Hickey of the Western Le e, who is fathering the plan, issued a cal] asking all minor league residents to assemble at Chicago, at the land Hotel, Sept. 6, to devise plans for carrying qi't the idea of mutual protection.

If the club can maintain them to the end of the season, they will have more than done creditably, even should they lose. It will be a battle, the struggle of the first division teams for place honors in the race. Admirers of the locals are putting 4 their money that the Cardinals will finis third or better. That is not improbable. Philadelphia is tied with Brooklyn some 2 points in front of the locais, but a spurt may come which will bring Donovan’s men up. The St. Louis team has not had a streak this year—that is, a successive win- ning of an unusual number of mes. They have see-gawed up and down in the ercentage column at times, but they never ave won six or more games in succession. That is Hable to happen, and may cash a few bets for the admirers of the locals. Friday’s Delmar Entries. First face, thirteen-sizteenths of a mile, selling: Roy McDonald .100 Jack Willis ..

DELMAR SELECTIONS. First Race—Metoxen, Nellie Hel- muth, Diaz. Second Race—Colonial Girl, Clarena, Lady Clarik. Third Race—Geo. B. Cox, Ann, Ne- karnis. Fourth Race—Revoke, Miss Pafron, Ladas. Fifth Race—Kisme, John Morton, Pi- rate’s Daughter. | Sixth Race—Uterpe, Ed L., Percy R. Five selling races and a maiden 2-year-old race make up the program for this after- noon’s sport at Delmar. It is an exceed- ingly difficult card to select from, because there is little class to the animals engaged, and also because they appear to be pretty evenly matched. This latter fact should insure ciose contests and consequent en- thusiasm among the occupants of grand Stand seats. In the opening event, a dash of six and one-half furlongs, Metoxen on his second to Grandma on Tuesday should about win. Between Nellie Helmuth and Diaz it looks a close thing, but Diaz has not been run- ning well recently, so that Helmuth should beat him for the piace. This is a race where there is a chance for another Prosper La Gai to distinguish himself, or some equally dangerous sleeper. Whatever horse wins the first race today cannot by any possibility be considered in the first rank of thoroughbreds, so that the victory of a long shot should occasion no surprise. On her first appearance here Colonial Girl ran second to Wissendine and beat Sambo, who has since made a new track record. On this performance alone she should have no trouble in winning the maiden event, even with the handicap of carrying Master Dangman. Clarena ran second to Faranlass Aug. 22 and should land in the same position today and Lady C.arik, who has been tipped to win so frequently, may run third. The third race introduces a newcomer to the track, but a veteran in the business— George B. Cox. If he is right he will run over his opponents today, and the track should suit him, as he likes a soft one. He has defeated much better horses than are opposed to him today and it is altogether a question of condition. Ann doés not seem to be much, but if she is of any account, with 91 pounds up, she shoulda not be worse than second, and Nekarnis may be third. The fourth race will be the event of the day. Revoke. Miss Patron, Ladas and Tick- ful should furnish a spirited contest, and will probably run in the order named. Miss Patron would prefer a longer route and Tickful seems to have got more of the rac- ing game recently than he likes. evoke is the gamest of the lot, and the one who beats her will get the money. Her race on Thursday will do her good. Kisme has had a good rest, and, although John Morton is .in good form, and _ Pirate’s Daughter has only a feathef on her back, she nevertheless should annex the fifth race. John Morton and Pirate’s Daughter will have a hard tussle for the place, with the figures favoring Morton. Fizer & Co. will probably capture the final event of the day with their good mare. Euterpe. Ed L. and Percy R. will be right there at the finish. Look out for Samivel; he will like this track and may furnish a ef PORT QUESTIONS ANSWERED heaacr—O'Connor has jumped 2o feet % inch.

EINLOCH SELECTIONS. First Race—Dr. Tarr, Star Cotton, Bushnell. Second Race— Arigato, Duella. Third Race—Dan Paxton, Master Ma- riner, Olekma. Fourth Race—Chorus Boy, Monos, Sa- rilla. Fifth Race—Greetings, Eva’s Darling, Nyx. Ermack, The Kinloch card for this afternoon's racing presents no special features. It 1s composed of the usual purse and selling races, with only one race at a mile or over. Dr. Tarr and Star Cotton look to be the best of a bad lot and may finish that way, with Bushnell in the show. Arigato should win the second, with Er- mack and Duela second and third. Dan Paxton is certainly the class of the third race, and, although he is not a eee. should have no trouble in beating the selling platers opposed to him. Master Mariner and Olekma will fight it out for the place. Chorus Boy is so good at present that he will likely defeat Monos, although Mr. Bennett’s horse has run splendidly at Kin- loch. The difference in weight {!s apparent- ly against Chorus Boy, but is not in reality, because he is a 65-year-old, whereas Monos is only 3. Greetings will likely annex the last race of the day, with Eva’s Darling second and Nyx third. It is impossible to say just now which will be the event of the day. Cir- cumstances may develop which may make the worst appearing race now the feature of the afternoon. % —_--——__ Friday’s Kinloch Entries.

Thirteen players will accompany the team. At the annual meeting of the Mound City Tenpin League the following officers were elected: J. W.

Mr. Neidringhaus was appointed delegate to look after the interests of the league in the national or- ganization. At a meeting to be held Aug. 30, at the Courthouse alleys, arrangements will be completed for the opening of the season. Twelve clubs now make up the league and two more are expected. Charles Washer, captain-elect of the Mis- souri University football team, is seriously ill with typhoid fever. His physicians say that his illness will keep him out of the game practically for the balance of the season. The loss will mean much to the team, for Washer was a clever tackle and a good leader. Paul Gleeson of St. Louls, who won his way Wednesday into the semi-finals of the interstate tennis championship contest now continuing at Atchison, Kan., was defeat- ed by Hogg of Lawrence Thursday and thrown out of a chance for first honors Gleeson put up a creditable battle and won the first get of his match. In the next two sets he let down considerably and went down and out in short order, 6—2 and 6—3. Alex Mermod, who secant accepted the management of Dupont Park, vice Elliott, resigned, announces that the Winchester Arms Co. will put up a medal similar to the live bird upont trophy, for which contestants will shoot at clay pigeons. The event will be a handicap at of targets per man, the winner to hold the trophy for a limited time. INTERNATIONAL SHOOT IS ON /Hundreds of Crack Shots With Various Weapons Take Part in Great Tour- nament at Sea Girt, N. J. NEW YORK, Aug. 20.—The International and Interstate Rifle, Revolver, Carbine and Pistol Shooting tournament of the National Rifle Association of America began on the state camp ranges at Sea Girt, N. J., to- day. This, probably the most important shoot- ing tourney which has ever taken place in the United States, was opened in a most informal manner. Gen. Bird W. Spencer, president of the association, gave the word, a bugler sounded “commence firing,”’ and the marksmen immediately began tring at the targets on the 200, 300 and 600-yard ranges, Bullseye and group pool shooting was the first item on the long program. More than 200 riflemen from many states took part. State teams which will take part in the Hilton trophy and interstate military matches have arrived from Maine, Massa- chusetts, New York. Rhode Island, Mary- land and District of Columbia. The Ohio and Pennsylvania teams are expected to- morrow. Word was received today from Canada to the effect that the Dominion team, which will try conclusions with the All-American teamt in the world’s championship match next Thursday, will reach the camp late tomorrow or early Sunday.

President Haughton of the West End Club has not yet announced a feature for next Wednesday evening’s boxing carnival at the club. It was the intention of thu management to have boxing contests once a week when matches of sufficient import- ance could be secured. As none has yet been carded for the coming week, it prob- ably will be considered too late to ar- range one until the following Wednesday. President Haughton announces that in all oa he will have the big hall for he next fight, as he has found the quar- ters upstairs too limited to accommodate the attendance. The big Coliseum certainly ee be more comfortable for the spec- ators. Sailor Sharkey has come to life again in the pugilistic world. Tommy Ryan, now In Kansas City, has received an offer to meet the sailor in a 10-round bout at Salt Lake City. Ryan at once accepted. The offer was mailed to Sharkey, who jumped at the offer, but pulled up to find out if it was genuine. It looked too good to be true to the sailor. The Salt Lake Palace Exposition Co. Is trying to arrange the fight and the man- agement guarantees to post a forfeit as an earnest of its sincerity. On the face of it, it looks like easy money for Sharkey, if the latter has been taking care of himself. He will have 30 pounds the advantage of his prospective antagonist. A year or more ago the round go at Syracuse, and the honors were even. yan managed to stay away from his opponent. If he can do the same for 19 rounds he should get all the money on points.

For more than two months back, or since the drouth and its attendant. scare with regard to the scarcity of hay became factors a the market, the range horse business has been | ishing on a low and ee at a basis, fully $8't to $10 lower than ee naa of the year and in some cases t even resolved itself into a lower market than the year fore. Range horse values having seen an advance on the western ranches, were at opposite positions with the market and the run had to cease—its continuance was against all laws of commerce. Eastern buyers did not want to put money into them for fear that feed uld be too high for farmers to handle them, while out In the home of the broncho, grass was simply excellent. They were worth more on the ranges than at market. ere has been a return to the market of a demand for British cavalry horses at about the same values as during the winter and spring months. It was expected last week, but was ananly developed during the auction days this week everal different concerns were uying them, which made the trade pretty lively, but the competition in the auction, while it shows Ee effects of stimulation, was not extremely ag- essive or unusual. e fact was that most of the horses suitable for the job were bought out of the consignments | the several comm!is- sion interests before they had a chance to enter the auction. It does not appear from the quiet way in which the contractors are obtaining the horses that there is any big contract in effect, as they are going about the matter slow and cau- tiously; the examination is pretty close. market Fis quite t the Union Stockyards.

American Smelting dropped nearly a point, aud a few other stocks showed fractional deciines, Stocks were inclined to run off in the early trad- ing, but a demand arose as prices scaled down, and the market gevoerally improved to. above the opening level. The gains were mainly fractional in the active quarter, aside from seme of the South- western stocks, which were a point up.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Aug, 30.—International dis- sensions in the Tripler Liquid Air Co., which have been agitating the board of dl- rectors for nearly six months, have at last become public property. The company, which is capitalized at $10,- 00000 under the laws of Virginia, was formed to push the discoveries and inven- tions of Charles E. Tripler of this city. Sen- ator John P. Jones of Nevada and Stephen W. Dorsey, who was involved in the post- office star route scandals, are large stock- holders as well as directors of the company. Senator Jones and ex-Senator Dorsey are now in California. They are represented here by Samuel M. Gardenhire, who, up to six months ago, was actively connected with the General Liquid Air and Refriger- ating Co., a rival corporation. Mr. Gardenhire explained the stock trans- action with Mr. Goldberg by saying that at the incorporation of the company his cli- ents received 100,000 shares of a par value i $10, and that they. like other directors sold some of this private stock to phere, ped urchasers. At the same time Mr. G en. deciared that the company would have to be reorganized. “Neither Dorsey nor Jones has been guilty of any moral or pool ag ae: said Mr. Gardenhire. has been a4 strong eff Tripler ~~ % . bey have been hreatened that . hey did a pay mpany the money realized og sale of tneir private meek they would be taken into the courts rta and into the putdic press.’ r. Gardenhire declared that ¢t real trouble was caused some six mont ax, when Mr. Dorsey, as “chairuan® of the exec- utive committee, had tried to have the ex- penses reduced and had wanted to cut the roe” G of Mr. Tripler, which was $1000 a mont Mr. Gardenhive paws ». « weiet ‘Meibeer asl as BTU@STHC; calls, | INVESTMENT_$ —— ee — mission. hey agreed to ury a month in cash. “Fennell & Co. filled the co glowing advertisements and at oo oe) price ed ret treasu i ~ — or expen “Fennell & tu rin mo about Jan. 1 F since then roub been browing. * “Since the money ceased Dorsey tells me oy nae soem) 32 all his stock in keepin he now has a Clatin CHICAGO, Aug. %.—Startling disclosing an alleged plot we Anton Koslowski of the Inder Catholic Church waa tntre prosecution in Justice Martin's today.

THEY CAUSED MALARIA ITALIAN LABORERS BLAMED FOR AN EPIDEMIC. WERE DIGGING WATER WORKS. Analysis Shows No Other Cause for the Disease Than Their Presence in the Community. BOSTON, Aug. 30.—In the annual report of the state board of health, Secretary 8. W. Abbott says that during the past ten years every case of malaria investigated in Massachusetts has been traced to the presence in the neighborhood of Italian la- borers. Italy, it is well known, is cursed by malaria, says the report. In a previous report on the sanitary condition of the Sudbury and Concord rivers, made to the general court in May, the board stated Bipinly that there was noteng in the con- ition of the meadows near the rivers to generate malaria. But within the last 11 years 191 cases have been reported in the distance of 10 miles along the river from Saxonville in a population of about 500. Few cases, the board says, Were reported below this a previous to 18% and not many until 1898, since which time it has prevailed in Concord and Bi.lerica. In both cases, the board says: “The evidence tends to show that it was introduced into these towns by the labor- ers engagéd in- digging up the streets when constructing the waterworks and gtd systems. Upon the completion of the wor in Billerica, the number of cases rapidly diminished, while in Concord the effect of the work continued through last year nd we must wait through another eason o learn whether it also diminishes here.”’ SMALL BOYS AND MATCHES.
