Before Sam Houston stirred the whites to rebellion against Mexico the Shawn. es held undisputed sway over this vast traci. Occasionally the war path would lead hvus- tile tribes from Mexico across the Rio Grande and up into this fertile county, but always after an essay of this knd there was a victory dance in the village of Shawnees, ° Hiouston needed this war-loving people in the impending struggle with Mexico. His messengers to them were either stoned out of the village or never returned. The dough- ty revolutionist was in serfous straiis. He could not make war on the parent gov- ernment with the Shawnees_ arrayed against him, nor could he learn whether . they. would join him. Girl Captured by the Indians. ; It so happened that one day the young daughter ef onc of Houston's, chief SUBS ‘porters was ‘captured by the Indians. Ault efforts to retake her were unavailing, and she was given wp as lost. Great was the joy of her kinsmen when she suddenly up- a alive and well and unmistakably ADDY. She had married a young buck who was rapidly rising to a migh® chief, she told them, and he wanted to treat with the men who were angry at the people below the great river (Rio Grande). In this way Houston secured the aid of the Shawnees and went to war with Mexi- co. . When the republic of Texas had been established the first legislature, upon the recommendation of Houston himself, @ranted the Shawnees the perpetual right to cceupy their hunting grounds. Conditions soon became such that the little republic needed support to protect it from enemics within and without. When it was admitted as a portion of the United States the whites began to crowd in in such numbers that the lands of the Shawnees were invaded. They appealed to Congress. While this @ppeal was pending the American govern- ment wert to war with Mexico, and the Shawnees formed no inconsilerabie part of the army. After the war ‘‘ongress refused to reg@ognize the Indians’ elaim to the land, and opened it for settlement. The Shaw- neces then went north, and the 700 that re- main are now in and about Shawnee, Ok- lahoma, ‘ Armed with the records of the Texas re- public congress, a copy of the Houston deed of conveyance and a history of the fidelity of nation to the United States government Mesars.

WILL BUILD $550,000 STABLE Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, iy 7.—James B. Hagegin will build a $550,010 private stable on a $200,- 000 plot near his projected $1,500,000 palace in Fifth avenue. The multtmillionaire copper horseman completed the purchase of a 106.8x1005 plot in East Sixty-third atreet. It is occupied by one four-story and four -story dwellings. ‘ihese will be de- NH to make a site for the stable. land will be king and cost about $200,000, and the stables «ogy at a cost of $550,000, outiay for land and build- It will be the most elaborate efty "stable in the world. was the first witness. Mr. Martin sald he was the proprietor of the American Tent and Awning Co. That company occupied all of the building numbered 314 Chestnut street and the three top. floors of he build- ing numbered 31Z Chestnut street. There are the two buildings wherein the fatal fire occured, The collapsing of the walls of there two tuildings caused the death of the seven firemen, Mr. Martin explained that. the building was stocked with awnings and awning frames. He said there were probably 5800 awrings.in the lot. Many were stored for the. winter. In response to a question whether there ever had been g fire before in the buildings 2i2 and 314 since he oceupled them, Mr. Martin sald there had been a fire in May. it, He said the buildings were seriously damaged by this fire, and that his loss was $19,000 $ Who owned t Nadine then, the witness said, employed a contractor named Whar- ton to repair them. Witness said he had an additional row of girders put in the building numbered 314 to make it more solid. Asked the direct ques- tion whether he thought the building as well able to withstand a fire after it was repaired, Mr. Martin replied: “Il think it was better able to do so.’’ WAS 75 YEARS OLD. Witness said the rear portion of the buildings was 75 or 100 years old. He said the Mel.ean famil® had built a new- por- tion in front of th@old structure. Night Watchman Daniel Dunbar testified that he discovered the fire. Charles O. A. Brunk, deputy building commissioner, who resides at 2800 Benton street, said the deaths of the firemen were ceused by falling floors. He offered the opinion that the caving in of the roof caused the floors to fall and that the water poured into the build- ing caused the roof to fall. ‘“T think the weight of the water added ‘o the load already in the building made it too heavy for the walls and floors” said the witness. The witness was not able to furnish any very definite information regarding the condition of the buildings prior to the fire. He said the side walls were 13 inches thick for three stories. Asked to repeat his the- ory as to the cause of thé buildings’ col- lapse, he said: “TI think the water getting into the build- ing caused it. The stock was of such a character as would absorb water and hold ‘ts wetght. Then the building was old and the water getting into the walls caused them to crumble. /I think the roof fell in first, because it was partly burned.”’ WHAT THE LAW IS. Juror McKittrick asked the witness what the law was on the subject: of inspection of buildings; whether there was an ordi- nance providing for the periodical inspection of all buildings. Witness said his department made no house to house Inspection of buildings. ‘IT suppose we could,” he added, “if we had help enough. The law provides for seven inspectors. We have only five now and for a long time we had but three.”’ Juror Gorse wanted to know if the build- ing inspectors had ever made an examina- tion of the buildings that collapsed. Wit- ness said he didn’t know of any inspection of his own knowledge. Building Commissioner Longfellow was placed on the stand and asked his opinion as to the cause of the collapse. “There is no doubt that the building was overloaded,’’ he said. “‘Why do I think so” Because of its complete collapse.’’ He said the records of his office showed that a permit was issued June 10, 1899. for tne repairing of the bulidings, 312 and 314 Ohestnut street. He said the permit was issued- by his predecessor, J. Hlarty Ran- dall, after the application for the permit had been approved by the“then chief in- epector, John H. Randall. Regarding the system of inspecting build- ings in vogue in his office, Mr. Longfellow said: ‘‘We have no system of periedical in- spection of all buildings. There is no iaw compelling such inspection. If there were, we could not comply with it with our pres- ent force. If a part of the burned building was 100 years old I don't know it. I have no systematic means of securing such information. There may be other downtown buildings 100 years old.” QUESTIONED BY GRANDJURY. At this stage of the investigation, Mr. ongfellow’s department was placed under the fire of the jury. Individual jJurymen plied him with questions regarding work of his subordinates, They wanted to know the character and amount of work each of them ; Mr. Wongfellow said one inspector was detailed to look after fire escapes. That inepector, he said, was Mr. Brunk, The city was divided into. six districts and each dis- trict was assigned to an inspector. The district in which the fire occurred, witness said, was in charge of Mr. Bronk. Witness said he had only three rea! in- svectors under+him and three draftsmen serving as inspectors. ‘They are required to look after the 70) new bulldings now In course of erection and have little time to look after old buildings that may be al- = x 3 William Ritter, ex-member House of Delegates.

Deputy sheriffs wefe dispatched at 10 o'clock Friday morning with subpenas for eight new witnesses who will be asked to i tell the February grandljury what they know concerning the municipal corruption cases that the jury now has under consid- eration. In addition to these eight witnesses there are half a dozen witnesses who have been in attendance for several days waiting to be called. The sessions on these bribery and cor- ruption affairs are so short that the work is necessarily slow. The hour for convening the grandjury on these cases for specia. | investigation is 2:30 o’clock each afternoon, It takes half an hour for organization. This leaves practically two hours for in- vestigation, for when the use of artificial light is required, the jurors, who have al- ready done a usual day’s work before tak- ing up the more important cases, are weary and they cannot proceed with the vim and vigor they would had they not already put in a full day’s work. It will be a week before the grandjury completes the regular docket of routine work. This routine docket refers to cases where the defendant is in jail or is out on bond. The iaw requires that these cases be taken up before any special cases be gone into. When the usual criminal cases have been disposed of all day sessions of the jury on the municipal cases will be held, and the work will be disposed of in a rapid manner. In one all-day session the grandjury and Circuit Attorney Folk will be able to dis- pose of as much business as they now are able to dispose of in, four afternoon ses- sions, No one in authority will admit that the -" of bench warrants, yet there are those whe are in a position to know who confi predict that bench warrants will be issued » before nightfall Friday.

Charles Wiggins, a broker, with an office in the Bank of Commerce Building, was @ member of the City Council when the Central Traction ordinance was passed three years ago. To the Post-Dispatch Friday morning Mr. Wiggins stated unequivocally that he was offered $3000 to vote for that meas- ure, ‘ y “What did you say to the proposition?” Mr. Wiggins was asked. “I simply rejected it, that’s all.’’ “Would you tell the name of the person who submitted it?” “ft most certainly would not,” ‘Was he a member of the Municipal As- sembly ?”’ ss 10.” previous acquaintance had.” “Had you any with him?’ “IL-may say that I! “What are your reasons make known his identity.’ “That is something I do not care to go into.

Contihuing, Mr. Wiggins said: person seem to believe the to do when an offer of this kind is made is to kick the one making it out of your of- ce. “As a matter of fact the bribe-giver or his ally acts so smoothly that you can- mot do this. “Some vote for the Central Traction “IT cannot say that I do.” “You believe there was money used to secure its passage?’ ‘““Most assuredly so.”’ “Did you come into contact with any members of the Municipal Assembly who! | the ifst of witnesses called by the grand- outside of Mesers. | had been bought’ “No, beliéve not: ACTION LES’ WIGGINS’ VOTE for declining to | proper thing} eer X _ os ~ - es ae a oe i a i.e ote ’ - w z =: ‘2 Sy > ; a Hodges and Ivea-I had intimate rela- tions with few councilmen.”’ THE AMOUNT OF BOODLE. “Did you ever hear how much money was put up by the Central Traction promoters?” “Yes, I heard persistent rumors as to the pecuniary features of that legislation. But the amounts I ufderstodd were offered vd- ried, decording to the different storie’ told. ‘ “From what I learned the amount of —— was somewhere between $16,000 and 200, 000,"" “But you had not heard who received anv of it?’’ «Well, mv suspicions were pretty evenly defined. had moral, but not legal con- Victions on the subject.” “You never saw any hands?” “No; 1 got out of that part of the busi- ness’ when I refused to sell myself for $3000 or any other sum of money.

The vote of one councilman could have defeated the central traction ordinartce, The oppo- sition centered its forces on him and he was offered a big sum of money, but it was a case of the one with the biggest pile.

SCHLUETER LEPT BELLE- VILLE FOR CHESTER WITH LIGHT HEART. , 4 HE MURDERED HIS BROTHER Said Before Starting That He Would Do the Same Thing if It Were to Do Over. He William Schlueter of Belleville, who mur- dered his brother, Henry Schlueter, was taken to Chester Penitentiary Friday to be- gin serving the life sentence which was im- posed on him two weeks ago, after he had pleaded guilty to the charge. His going away was like the veginning of a gala journey so far as the manner of the murderer was concerned. He laughed and talked loudly and shook hands with everybody he recognized. Quite a large crowd had gathered at the Illinois Central depot to see schieuter taken away. Schleuter construed their presence a compliment to him. He did ict wait for anybody to bid him goodbye, but edged as far into the crowd as Sheriff Kickham would let him ‘and seized the hands of all his acquaintances. He joked about his trip to the peniienttary and said he guessed he would be back in a few years. Before he left the jail for the depot Schleuter talked freely about his crime and punishment. He contended as he has. ail along that he was justified in killing his brother. Although he has had seven months of confinement in jail in which to think over it, he expressed no regret. He said his brother was. altogether blame because he had wronged him the business, None of the relatives of Schlueter were at the jail-or depot to see him off. His wife and children bade him farewell the night before. Schlueter Thursday conveyed to his wife his interest in the house occupied by his family. He had previously conveyed to the attorneys who defended him, his inter- est in his father’s estate. OLD LOVE RENEWED BY TIME Edward Bohajek and Emma Hollmann Quarreled and Wedded Others, Then Lost Them. The marriage of Edward Bohajek of 818 Allen avenue, St. Louis, and Mrs. Emma Kreitner of Belleville, In St. Louis Thurs- day, was the culmination of a romance. The couple were sweethearts many years ago. They quarreled and went their ways and each married another. A little while ago they accidentally met in St. Louis, and each learned that the other had been freed by death. The old love revived and they were married. Mrs. Kreitner was Miss Emma Mollmann when she first met Mr. Bohajek. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Holl- mann of 920 South Charles street, Belle- ville. They met at a social affair in 8t. Louis, and Mr. Bohajek fell in love with the Belleville girl on the spot. lie courted her ardently and very soon it came to be understood that they were to be married. But there was a quarrel. Both thought then it was so serious that a re- conciliation could never occur. Miss Hollmann married Mr. Kreitner of Belleville and Mr. Bohajek married a St. Louis girl. The years —— and they heard nothing of each other. Two years ago Mr. Kreitner died. Re- cently Mrs. Krettner was visiting In St. Louis and chanced to meet her old sweet- heart at the home of a friend. He in- quired about the health of her husband and was told that Mr. Kreitner was dead. He said his wife was dead, too, and then they beth thought about what might have been and what might still be.

Man Who Does Not Give His Name Declares He Will Commit Suicide. Acting Chief of Detectives Smith received among his official mail Friday morning a letter out of the ordinary. The writer threatens to end his life, but gives no clew to his identity. The letter, dated Feb. 5, follows: “T am not insane, but heartbroken for my wife who is the pride of my soul, has left me and took the light of my life in taking my baby. Now she writes me that she will sue me for a divorce. ‘‘My mother, who I have notified, also my wife. who when she sees that | am be- yond recall, will regret what she has done, and I suppose that when she learns will write to you. ‘You may return the answer that a dose of morphine and a grave in the Mississippi is what has become of me. ‘Trusting you will not censure me too hard for my-rash act, for Il. love her go I cannot help it. I cannot live without my wife and my baby. My’ mother lived in Texas, but has moved and will, I — notify you where she is on receipt of my last letter to her. “Will leave house at midnight tonight.

For you will not find me, for 1 will be gone. “Yours very respectfully, , “SYLVESTER.” Chief Smith says that he has no clew as to the identity of the writer, and he ygath- er suspects the writer is making a huge bluff. No action was taken on the letter. JERSEYVILLE NOTES. The Jersey County Medical Association met at the courthouses Wednesday afternoon. Walter F.

QUICKLY ARRESTED JEWELRY FOUND IN APPLE BAR- REL BY EAST SIDE POLICE. MONEY PARTLY RECOVERED Supposed Hucksters Visited the Kirby Home and Invaded Parlor, Ob- taining Valuables. C. Kirby of 406 South Fourth street, East St. Louis, from whose home burglars took $200 worth of jewelry and $70 in money, a8 told in the late editions of Thursday's Post- Dispatch, recovered his property from a barre] of apples, where it had been hidden by the thieves. Three apple peddlers, whom Mrs. Kirby had described to the police, were arrested by Policeman Siegel at the Eads bridge two hours aft®r the robbery, and a search of their wagon revealed the stolen articles, hidden in a barrel of apples. The peddlers had visited the Kirby home, and had asked Mrs. Kirby to purchase some fruit, but she had said she did not desire any appies. A few minutes later she heard a noise in her parlor, and. on seeking the cause of the disturbance, saw one of the men jump- ing from the parlor window. Mr. Kirby, who is a locomotive engineer, was asleep, but woke on hearing his wife's screams, and started after the men. tile pursued the peddlers’ wagon down Fourth street, but the driver whipped up and passed from view. When arrested two hours later at the bridge, the peddlers gave their names as William Farley, John Hitchock and Patrick Joice of St. Louls. * The articles recovered were a lady’s gold Watch and chain, two rings, a diamond penaent, three diamond brooches, a baby racelet and a diamond atick pin. Only one-half the money taken was found in the ossession of the trio, and the police be- lieve that they had an accomplice. Kirby's revolver was also taken, but not recovered. WRECK MADE A MUSEUM.

When Mr. W. K. Vanderbilt unhitched the engine from the crack" Chicago and New York train, attached it to his own spe- ial car and sped along to Buffalo leaving the passengers on the }imited to follow when another engine could be obtained, he il- Justrated the power of the what’s-not-so. ’ Mr. Vanderbilt evidently thought that the engine was his, the ‘ears, the rails, maybe the passengers—his to have and to hold And may —oOw not a man do what he will with his own? But this is exactly what's not so. A few-days ago Mr. E. D. Kenna, Vice-President of the At- chison, Topeka & Santa Fe, a lawyer of ability and a man of E understanding, laid down the principle that ‘railroads were pub- lic property.’’ This principle, in Mr. Kenna’s opinion, must enter Px Qnto all considerations of the railroad problem, and it is perhaps “wot necessary to say that Mr. Kenna’s opinion coincides with - eommon sense, public nécessity and the settled conviction of the most thoughtful members of society. This .is exactly what is so. In his words Mr. Kenna states ’ the truth; in his act Mr. Vanderbilt states the lie.

Nobody will begrudge Miss Alice her pleasure. By refiection and hearty sympathy everyone will share her enjoyment. But—there is another side to it; not very important perhaps, but still another view. The traditions of America are those of De- mocracy, equality. Mr. Roosevelt is, fcr four years, the first among his equals and at the end of the appointed term will be- come a simple citizen without superior rank and without superior consideratien, save such as may accrue to him from faithful public service and more than ordinary virtues. It seems a b.t incongruous, doesn’t {t? A representative of the Democratic tradition—what place can she have in a ceremony which cele- brates another, alien, and less noble tradition? The father may not have done wisely to gratify the young girl's ‘onging. But then, fathers are not always wise in indulging their affection. And they “ought not to be criticised when they make mistakes. If Mr. Roosevelt has made a mistake, let us ail hope that it will not bring in its train any regret to make his daughter unhappy in the years to come. the Chestnut street fire is grawirng rapidly. The response to appeals for contributions issued by the Post-Dispatch and the Merchants’ Exchange the day after the fire is general and generous. Business houses and the individuals are engaged in a noble rivalry of prompt and liberal! giving. The general relief fund yesterday reached nearly $10,000. The readers of the Post-Dispatch have made most liberal contribu- tions as the acknowledgments in All contributions sent to the Post-Dispatch will be acknowledged and turned over to the relief of the bereaved and helpless families, No more worthy cause ever appealed tocthe humanity afid gen- erosity of the people of St. Louis.

It was not designed, promoted or passed in the public interest. it was a pure swindle conceived in greed, incubated in corrup- tion and hatched in the interest of speculators, blackmailers, looters and all manner of unclean birds of prey. It was never designed to establish a public service by means of it. The pub- lic was never thought of except as possible victims by the bandits who bribed it through. . The total investment made by the promoters was $250,000, pa'd to councilmen, members of the House of Dele gates and other public servants always ready to sell the public gut. Wken the franchise was granted. did the wrantees begin to build the road, buy cars, erect powerhouses iat chiar to get ready to keep their side of the bargain? . Not a bit of it. They had.a-valuable privilege which they sold to another band of pirates for $1,250,000. They made a profit of $1,000,000 on the deal, and not a rail or car in sight. in the hands of this second group of worthies the thing became a sandbag with which the old street railroad companies of the city engaged in legitimate business and performing a public service were sandbagged into submission It was never intended to use the franchise for anything but sandbagging. It was used to force the stret railway companies intc a monopoly scheme. Thus was the public interest sacrificed to private greed. From beginning to end it was a game of plunder pure and simple. Not a man connected with this scheme of boodle and plunder whom the grandjury can indict should escape punishment. — =—_— — = —_- — “Little Bobs’” plan for the British army canteen is that soft drinks shall have special privileges and that the liquor bar shall be by itself, away from the reading and billiard rooms. This is not an exact copy of the American canteen regulations, but the American idea seems to have suggested it. Cuba would be very foolish to accept an invitation from us to become a part of the United States unless her products were al- lowed to enter our ports free of duty. The moment of annexation would make her ‘domestic territory,’ entitled to all the rights of commerce as such. Congressman Grosvenor declares that there are more pounds of fraudulent butter sold than ever were sold under the denomi- nation of oleomargarine. He wants an amendment to the oleo- margarine law that will put under the ban polluted butter, dis- eased butter, corrupted butter. = = The new American woman is chuckling over the statement of Gen. Chaffee that Philippine women hold a superior position and that an’archbishop has said that if it is intended to confer any political authority upon the Filipinos it should be conferred upon the women. “The most rigorous methods within the laws of war,’’ which are now recommended for the Philippines, means a good deal more than that. In rigorous war methods nothing is easier than going beyond the laws. ‘= = — a POST-DISPATCH SNAP SHOTS. As all Filipinos are said to be musicians, some of them may learn to play Yankee Doodle. If the governor of so big a state as Illinols cannot frank his cow by express, whither are we drifting? There may be no leaning tower of Pisa in the World's Fair, but a leaning tower of Piasa would be easy. Though Tennessee is close to Kentucky, in 49 of her 96 counties there are no licensed places for the sale of liquor. Chicago drinking water is still so bad that daily bulletins an- nouncing when it is safe and when it is unsafe are necessary. It seems to sult the taflors of the United States to make an exhibit at the World's Fair,- and it is fitting that they should do so. The Missouri peach crop is to be short this year, but every tree will be expected to do its full duty next vear.. All World's Fair people went peaches. A Vienna trolley car hit a cab and spilled a Duke out of it. The trolley car hasn't the least respect for titles. It would not even hesitate to dump an Emperor. It has been decided that the Youngers will have to remain in Minnesota. The glorious climate of Missvuri, therefore, can be but a memory to them. They should reflect that many thou- sands of people remain in the Minnesota cold voluntarily. ’ oe & = ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. L.. G.—There is no premium on a half dollar of 1831. R. W.

The picture accompanying this sketch is that of a man who had important finan- cial transactions affecting uisiana ter- ritory, and whose pertrait, as a mattor of historic interest, might adorn the comin: exposition at St. Louis. The man was John Law, who was born in Edinburgh in 1651. At the age of 20 he killed Beau Wi!- son in a duel in London. He founded a bank with a paper currency, and in 17!7 h? got France to hand over to him the whole of Louisiana, which at that time included =A ahs: * RY iy yee AS thes re MY “et x’ fl an eet er di) + the territory drained by the Mississippi, the Ohio and the Missouri.

Have vou a little baby boy A few months more than two years old, With soft brown eyes that brim with joy And silken ringlets bathed in gold, Who, toddling, follows you around And plays beside you near the hearth; Whose prattle is the sweetest sound To you of all glad notes of earth? Have you a little baby boy Vho, when the voice of slumber calls, Reluctant lefives each tattered toy. And in your strong arms weary falls; Who, yawning, looks with sleepy eyes Into your own and faintly smiles; Then shuts his lids and quiet les, And drifts away to Dreamland’s isles? Have you a little one like this, Who puts all troubling thought to flight When, climbing up, he plants a kiss Of love upon your lips at night? If so, then humbly bow your knee And lift your heart in thankful prayer, For you are richer far than he Who, childless, is a mil'lionaire! —W. L. Sanford in Galveston News.

Practice, says the London Graphic, has resulted in establishing the Bank of En- gland as almost the mint’s sole customer in gold bullion, and hence it may be taken for granted that the _— now being used for the first coins of King Edward's reign has reached the mint through that channel. And it is only through that channel that the new gold coins will find their way into general circulation. This does not hold good of the new or old bronze money. Pen- Design for the Obverse of the New Coinage. nies, halfpence and farthings are distrib- uted to the public through other banks and agencies as well as via the Bank of En- gland; gold and silver, however, are only put into circulation by the first bank of the ingdom. In the meantime, as those whose recollec- tion of the recent proclamation is fresh are well aware, the new coinage will be restricted to gold and copper, and the same design for the King’s effigy will appear equally on the farthing and the sovereign. No arrangements have been made as yet as to the issue of a new silver coinage, and hence another royal proclamation will have to be published ere that matter can te taken in hand.

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Will you allow me to make a su tion through the columns of the Post-Dispatch which will benefit the transit company two- fold and also be a benefit to the public? Let the cars stop on the near side of the street in the direction they are going to let passcngers on and off, that is stop before thcy cross intersecting streets and tracks. This will enable them to see cars coming on cross streets and give them the opportunity to let passengers off at the same time, thus preventing jolting of pas- sengers who thinking the car has stopped to discharge passengers and then goes on again only to require a second stop at the same street. This is done in Indianapolis and other cities and works well. St. Louls. A PATRON OF THE CARS. A Brain Twister. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Kindly place this problem in your public column.

Conductor Harper of the C. & A. says he, walked one mile and rode four miles. I claim he walked the mile and also rode five miles.

It Is Said That the Former Army S8ur- geon and Rough Rider Oolonel Has Committed a Serious Breach of Discipline. WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.—Gen. Wood, mil- itary governor of Cuba, has incurred the President's displeasure and will be censured by the secretary of war. Gen. Wood a few days ago wrote a circular letter to sen- fitors urging tariff concessions to Cuba. This, in the opinion of the secretary of war, is a breach of military discipline. Several members of the Senate have taken offense at the action and as the House was entirely ignored, some of the Republican leaders are indignant. Much capitai has been made by the Dem- ocrats out of the alleged interference of the military atthorities in the legislation pefore Congress.

H. T. Burckhartt, Windsor Review: Cor- rupt practices, such as are being unearthed in St. Louis, should be opposed with all the force of law and order. I believe that there is no difference, morally, betwen one who gives bribes and one who takes them. Both should be punishea @s violators of our fundamental law. W. D. Thomas, “Fulton,.Sun: The_ bribe taker ought to be given the opportunity t turn state's evidence and thus exempt him- self from punishment. He should, when approached by a briber, take the bribe to complete the deal and then inform the proper authorities. This would effectually stop bribery. Sam RB.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Feb. 7.—Judge Gantt of the Supreme Court at chamber this morning issued an alternative writ of mandamus against President Hiram Phil- lips and the other members of the Board of Public Improvements of St. Louis city directing them to enter their appearance before the Supreme Court in banc here on April 8 and give the direction and approval as to the manfler and mode in which poles may be erected along Twenty-first street, from Washington avenue to Chouteau ave- nue, and along Pine street, from Twenty- first street to Twelfth street. This writ was issued at the request of the St. Louis Transit Co. and involves the construction by the Supreme Court of city ordinance 18,680 as conflicting with city ordinance 19,738, on the ground that the first named is a special ordinance granting franchises to a certain class of wire-using companies to operate within a limited part of the city, etc. The transit company wants to erect poles and put up wires in the district mentioned and it alleges to the court it has been re- fused by the Board of Public Improvements.

Quinn was a defendant in a peace disturbance case that came up before Judge Sidener Friday morning on a change of venue from the Second District police court. Despite the fact that Senator Klene and Lieutenant-Colonel Holtcamp appeared and testified to his gcod character, Quin was fined $10 and costs. From the testimony it appears that Quinn is a handy man with his fists and not hav- ing anything to do on the night of Jan. 30 he went forth seeking worlds or any old thing to conquer. He claims that he was waiting for a car on the corner of Four- teenth dad Wash streets when Ofticer An- trin of te Fourth district told him to move on. HefRays that he informed the officer that h as waiting for an owl car and ve just as soon as the car arrived. ficer says Quinn squared off and invited him to “‘come on and get fixed.’’ He declined the invitation and struck Quinn on the nose, breaking that organ. A rough and tumble fight then took place and Mr. Quinn went to the City Hospital via the Dispensary, and remained there till this morning.

Judge Franklin B. Ferri:s, who until last Saturday presided over this division, is again on this bench. tthew Quan is a resident of Kirk- wood. A year ago last August, when Bren- nan, Northway and Sc4wartz blew up an Olive street cable car with dynamite near Euclid avenue, Quan went on @ bond fur Schwartz. The bond was for $1000. Brin- nan and Northway were convicted in the courts and are now serving long penitenti- ary sentences. Schwartz jumped his bond. The state au- thorities investigated Quan's qualifications as a bondsman. He made affidavit that he was worth $200,000. He swore that he owned a certain piece of property on Fourteenth street. After their investigation the au- thorities were convinced that Quan had sworn falsely. The case was laid before the grandjury and an indictment for perjury was returned. Judge Horatio Wood received Quan’s sworn statement and he thus becomes a witness in the case. Judge Ryan was at one time attorney for Quan and is familiar with the case. Judge Douglass was at- torney at one time for a member of the Quan family and is familiar with its finan- cial condition and conversant with many of facts now under consideration of the court, The case was continued until Feb. 28.

The Iron Mountain train due in St. Louis at 3:30 p. m., was held three hours north of De Soto Thursday while the train crew quelled a riot and a physician vaccinated every passenger in one coach. A physician was bringing two sick negroes to St. Louis for treatment. They occupied traveling alone. The doctor detected symp- toms of smallpox on this passenger, and an examination confirmed his suspicvons. notified the conductor. The train was stopped, and a message Soto for physicians and vaccine virus. In the car were a party of Italians. They refused to be vaccinated. The conductor deemed it an occasion where force was jus- tiflable, and summoning the brakemen and other sturdy members of the crew, they at- temoted to hold the men while their arms were being scraped. This precipitated a fight. The car was soon in an uproar. Fortunately there were no women present, so the doors were locked and passengers went to the aid of the crew and doctors. Windows were broken, seats torn and package-brackets knocked out of position before, the Italians were controlled and vaccinated. The coach was thoroughly fumigated, and then the train proceeded on its way, ar- riving in St. Louis at 6:42 p. m. JEFFERSON MONUMENT PLANS Grover Cleveland and M.

SAYS POLICEMAN SHOT PIGEONS Mrs. Mary Waldo Calkins Declares She Will Prosecute All Who Maim Birds in St. Louis. Mrs. Mary Waldo Calkins called at po- lice headquarters Thursday and asked the chief of police that three of his police- mer. be disciplined for failing’ to enforce the ordinance protecting birds, and that they be punished for participating in the killing and maiming of the birds. Mrs. Calkins states that at John Do- lan’s saloon at Tamm and Manchester ave- nues a range has been prepared, where on each Saturday a pigeon shooting contest has been in progress for several months. She has endeavored to put a stop to the killing and maiming of pigeons, but so far has been unsuccessful. Now she states that if the practice be not abated, summons will be issued requiring those participating in the sport to appear as defendants in the police courts. Assfst- ant City Attorney Stanton has promised, so Mrs. Calkins stated, to issue the sum- monses. “I first went to Mr. Dolan,” said Mrs. Calkins, “and tried to get him to stop violating this ordinance. There is an ordt- nance protecting a!) birds in St. Loults, save sparrows, hawks, vultures and owls. “Now out at this range they take pigeons and place them under boxes. Then the birds are released and the marksmen shoot at them with shotguns. They are not killed as a rule, and they fly away wound- ed. Of course they do not fly far and boys take aftcr them and it is no uncommon sight to see two boys after the same pigeon. The youths rend the wounded bird to pleces. “I went to the police to put a stop to this cruelty. I found Policeman Gibbons of the Mounted district in charge of range. ‘That is, he was there to keep peo- get shot. I found Policemen Miller and McVey participating in what they called eport. “I was told by the poscomen thas they could do nothihg, as Dolan had a permit from the mayor. Il said that there was no law giving Mayor Wells the power to give persons authority to violate the law. “I went to see the mayor. I saw Mr. McConkey, his secretary. Mr. McConkey gave but scant comfort. Today the chief of police said he would investigate. “Meantime I will ask Mr. Stanton for the warrants, and will prosecute every- body concerned if there be a match there tomorrow. Last Two Days.

Mr. Soden of Boston is sounding what appears to be-the knell of the hopes, of A. G. Spalding, when he says.that he will never cast a vote on behalf of the Boston club for the Chicagoan when an ofice of the National League is in question. In fact, he says he will stick to Freedman for all time and believes the other clubs will do likewise. Unless John T. Brush turns traitor, it is a dull looking prospect for the National league. Brush has been making proposals to Spalding to hold a conference. ‘do far these have been rejected. Nor is it likely that the magnates will get any closer un- less an absolute surrender comes from one side or the other. For a time, the lukewarm attitude of the Boston club with respect to Freedman and his allies was supposed to be the weak place in the armor of the New York man’s forces. Soden and his assoctates claimed to be holding out for Nick Young and to have no preference for either party. It was therefure thought that the Boston vote would drop over to Spalding, votes to Spalding. Instead the opposite happens and the af- fair now becomes hopelessly tied up. For mere curiosity one would like to know what is passing under the hats of the mem- bers of that august body of capitalists once known as the National League. They are men of intelligence, or were; there has been no report issued of their be- ing afflicted with paresis, og appear to be in full mental power; what line of reas- oning can the members ‘of the organization possibly be following that leads them to the conclusion that hostility, and assininity are going to preserve the integrity of the National League? Faith, they say is the evidence of things unseen, That the magnates have so much faith in their own rectitude appears to be evidence of many things unheard of. HARRY FORBES LUCKY. Chance was largely instrumental in Harry Forbes’ sudden rise to the bantamweight championship. When President Haughton of the West End Club matched Clarence Forbes, Har- ry’s brother, against Abe Attell last No- vember, it was under the impression that Harry was the inferior of the two. Clarence had a fair record, as Had Harry, but the latter was supposed to be going back rather than increasing efiiciency. When the night of the mill came around Clarence was not in shape, and Harry who was training his brother, was substituted. Abie bit his lip with joy when he heard that Harry would go on in his brother’s place, for to begin with, Harry was not in training for a hard fight and secondly was several nee ag lighter than his brother. All of which, it was supposed by the astute Mr. McKenna, who manages Attell, would inake Harry a toothsome morsal for his School got but one score from @ throw, while the Monarchs improved Robinson and Schaeffering did go0d work for their respective teams: cheduled one between the douth sides 8 and the Drummonds, the ~~ | Following are the line-ups oe last wnight's contests: ngton Positions, Oo, H (12).

NOW COMES BACK TO MARRY He Ran Away Because He Thought He Had Killed a Rival in a Quarrel. Special to the Post-Dispatch. LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. 7.—Stranger than fiction is the real romance of Hans Kess- ner, who has just returned from Germany to find and ask the forgiveness of a sweet heart whom he deserted two years ago on the eve of their intended marriage. At that time Hans was a frugal farm- hand in southeastern Missouri and was cap. tivated by pretty Dora Hanson, a neigh- bor’s daugther. In due time their forth- coming marriage was announced and ex- tensive preparations were made by the bride’s father to celebrate the event. A the final moment; however, when the nass for the tying of the nuptial knot, the alounatnast’ was made that the groom- to-be had disappeared, spreading dismay ughout the party. ae tales were circulated throughout the neighborhood as to the probable cause of his sudden departure, some of them se- riously reflecting upon the character of Kessner, but Miss nson, although aeep- ly humiliated, believed none of them, Her faith had its reward this week when the truant sweetheart neappeated and ex- plained the mystery of his departure. A few hours before the time set for the ceremony Kessner became involved in a quarrel with a farm hand named Green, Angered by being jilted Green provoked a quarrel, which Kessner tried to avotd. Driven to bay, however, the stolid Ger- man seized an eax handle and struck Green down. Green fell unconscious to the ground and Kessner, fearing he had killed the man, hurried home, packed a few belong- ings and fled. At New York he went aboard qa steamer and returned to Ger- "Neat Hamburg he entered the employ of a relative operating a flour mill and on the death of the latter inherited the business, with a snug fortune in addition. Five weeks ago he began corr nding with old friends in Missouri and the first letter from America brought him the news that Green had not been killed. Kessner also learned that the girl he disap- pointed with such seeming cruelty had re- moved ay her parents to Cass County, ebraska. Keoenet at once prepared to return to America, taking the first steamer Hambure for New York. His arrival breugnt emcnese to both. Next week they e married. "Reasnsr will take his bride to Germany on a honeymoon trip, intending to dispose of his property and then return to America to live. Removal.

ANOTHER FIRE AT SAME TIME Firemen Left to Go to the Other, When It Started Afresh and $80,000 Loss Was the Result. CHICAGO, Feb. 7.—Fire that destroyed the Sanford building, 88 Randolph street, early this morning, almost occasioned a panic among the tenants of the i2-story Trude building which adjoins the burned structure and among the employes of the cloak factory of Marshall Field & Co. The fire started in the paints and oils of the George Bb. Watson Co., which uccupied the first two floors and destroyed the stock of George F. Rosche & Co., pianos, which occupied the three upper ‘loors. So rapidly was the spread of the flames and so dense the smoke that occupants of the neighbor- ing buildings fled hurriedly to the street. In the Trude building several hundred pupils of the Chicago Business College marched outAn good order. One woman al- most suffocated, was carried out by fire- men, but soon revived. Several small ex- plosions among the Ppt in the fire frigh- tened spectators and several firemen were hurt by falling bricks. No serious accidents were reported. Th damage to the building and stock was about $60,000. Fire today also destroyed the five-story warehouse at 148 Michigan avenue. The fire broke out in the basement and first floor, and after an hour’s fight the firemen thought they had the flames subdued. A number of engines were called away to a fire at 38 Randolph street. Suadenly there was a slight explosion and the whole building was soon in flames, Losses were estimated as follows: Building, $20,000; millinery stock of Gage Bros. & Co., $40,000; stock of Central Union Telegraph Co., $29,000.
