The Man {Folk Brought From Mexico on a Boodle Charge in Politics. St. Louls, March —Charles Kratz, who was charged with boodling here aud extradiated from Mexico by Missouri, was the dominating factor in the Republican city convention which overthrew Chairman Howe, the Republican boss, and supported the {nsurgents in nomt{nating a com- plete clty house of delegates ticket. Loud are the murmurs of discontent all over the city at the result of the convention’s work. Their ticket fs pronounced one of the worst on rec- ord. Among the twenty-eight noml- nations forthe house of delegates are eight saloon keepers, one ex-sa- loon keeper and a brewery agent, to say nothing of several men who are so little known in thelr respective wards that nothing can be told con- cerning them. Charles Kratz, ex member of the St. Louis council, was indicted Feb- ruary 5, 1902, by the grand jury on the charge of bribery in connection with the Suburban street railway franchise deal, to which $135,000 was placed in a safe deposit vault to be used to pay for the passage through the couccil of a franchise asked for by the Suburban company. Kratz was released in bonds of $20,- 000 and, April 4, 1902, left St Louis before his case went to trial. He went to Mexico, wheace he was ex- tradited in May, 1902. Kratz was tried in Butler, Mo., and acquitted February 24, 1903. Kodol digests what you eat and quickly overcomes indigestion, which {s a forerunner of dyspepsia.

Cambridge, Mass., March 11.—., J. Montague, formerly governor of Virginia, in an address at Harvard university discussed lynching in the South. He sald in pars: “Some of usare taught to favor lynching and therefore tofear the strong arm of federal power. This barbaric malady will not be finally eradicated in America until the peo- ple exercise a self restraint born of conviction and notof fear. In our system of government, above all others, there is no place for private or personal vengence. I give it as my deliberate opinion, shared by the bulk of law abiding people of the Southland, that there {s never an occasion when resort to lynch law is justifiable among civilized people.” South Dakota Legislature Kills Divorce Industry.

Five Missouri House Republi- cans Voted With the Democrats. Jefferson City, March —The Fields primary election bill, which provides | for party nomination by direct vote, occupied the greater part of the morning in the house. More than twenty amendments were offered and adopted asd finally the measure was passed by a strict party vote, with the exception of the five Republicans who voted for the bill. The vote was 83 to 38, Two amendments adopted, which were offered by Representative Casey of Jackson county, affect the bill ma- terlally. One knocks out the Aus- trahan ballot system {n primary eléctions and provides for aseparate ballot for each party participating {n the primaries. Casey’s other amendment provides that the voter shall ask for the ballot he desires In wants. Representative Holcomb of- fered an amendment, adopted, which gives the country committees of the diferent parties power to name their own judges and clerks, According to the wording of this amendment it affects ouly Jack- son and Buchanan counties. Representative Hill wanted to | change the date of holding the pri county members obj-cted, however. They said that June would {nterfere with the handling of their cropa, and they won outin a gallop. Represen- tative Swiers of Christian county | then offered a substitute amendment ,to hold the primaries St. Patrick’s day. It was discovered, however, that this was the time when tho farmers sowed thelr oats, and it was downed. Bluejackets Snub Story Writer; He Quits Navy. Washington, March 11.—James B. Connolly, the author of sea stories, who enlisted {n the navy asa yoe- man, second clase, about the first of the year, so that he might get ma- terial for stories in the Amertcan navy, has been discharged. He went into the navy at the suggestion of President Roosevelt, who thought that the author mightdo for the American navy what Rudyard Kip- ling has done for the British. His shipmates on the battle ship Ala bama refused to fraternize with him and made {t impossible for him to carry on his work. Kills Wife and Man.

The Bride Wore a Made Over latter city they have proved efficient | Dress, the Groom Was Out of a Job and the Refresh- ments Were Not Elaborate. “Would you like a little piece to print?” asked a dark eyed, slender young man, as he deferentially re- moved his hat to shirtsleeved in- dividual whacking at a “writing in etght” machine in a local newspaper shop. The shirtsleeved man threw his clgar in a box and stopped bis me | chanical apeller. “You bet,” he said | ‘1s's a wedding.” The young man blushed and the {editor emiled fa wisdom, WANTED SOMETHING DIFFERENT, “The names are Tom Maxwell and Susie Smith,” said the {oformer, hurriedly, “and we—they want it fix- ed upae bit different from the usual ran. I notice you generally head ‘em by saying, ‘A Besutitul Wed- ding,’ or ‘A Qalet Affatr,’ or some- thing that way.” “We might say ‘A Rough House, suggested the editor. “That wouldn't be bad—anything but the eternal, uuwkish gush—the ‘beautifal bride, attired in white veil- ing and sunflowers, looked lovely as she passed down she aiele on her father’s arm to meet the handsome young man she had chosen for better or woree.’ There wasn’t anything like that there.” “No?” “No, there wasn’t. The bride wore @ dress made over from last winter, that cost fifteen cents a yard, and she didn’t carry flowers, The groom is a hard handed farmer boy and he wouldn’t know adress sultfrom a matador’s outfit.” “You're modest.” “Thank you. Just say Tom Max well and Susie Smith were married Monday nightat the old man’s home up in —— township, and that one or two of the neighbors saw the thing pulled off. ‘Uacle Bonaparte’—Pap Smith’s nigger wood chopper—fid- dled ‘The Arkansaw Traveler’ for a wedding maich. They had johnnie cake, moiasses, maple sugar and bacon alter the agony was over, but nobody felt hungry. No presents were expected, and the couple was not disappointed, Tom will live with his father-in-law until a job of come sort turns up.” The editor, who had been taking notes, looked up. “Now, you know you wouldn’t like for us to put it that way,” he said, with geutie reproach. “Indeed I would,” said the young man earnestly. “It’s the Lord’s truth, and why not tell it the way it happened?” “Oh, Ican print it that way all right, but you'll get mad as a hornet {tI do.” “T’ll pay up five years in advance if you get it up just that way,” said the visitor, pulling out his pocket- book toshow he wasn’s bluffing. “Will you do 1s?” “If you’re that much in earnest I guess I’ll have to,” remarked the editor getting up and scanning his mail list. “Where do you get your paper, Mr. Maxwell?” “My name aln’’ Maxwell!” ex- claimed the subscriber, spiritedly. “Ty's Jerry Ryan.” “I beg your pardon. Then you are just here as a friend of the family?” “Sure! [used to go with Sue my- eelf. »” Becase He Loved Her So.

In the city of Ghent the training and maintenance of dogs for+police duty has proved to be a profitable invest- ment. A dog costs the city of Ghent a little over five cents per day for maintenance, and 30 dog police cost 3,285 franes per year.

The question of reorgan the force is now under active discussion, and the time for the experiment is opportune, There can a be no reasonable doubt that the addi- tion of a few good dogs to the San DIRECTORS, Francisco police force would add greatly to its efficiency. Some per sons may think that the force would be a dog-gone sight better if it were composed entirely of dogs, but we do not go so far as that. CiarKk W1x, J.J. McKer, Frank Houianp, J. W.

Gradually the prejudice against the ‘matinee girl’ crowd is growing. ‘Give me a ticket for any performance except Satunlay after- noon,’ is the reqnest that we hear more and more frequently. The jab- bering and the giggling that seem to be an inevitable part of a Saturday afternoon performance mar the pleas: ure of the earnest theater-goer. ‘The trouble is,’ said one woman who is a good judge of plays and actors, ‘that the Saturday matinee folks laugh, ery and appland in places, There is one strong play now on the boards that illustrates this tendency perfectly. From the beginning the “girls” of all ages who are not famil- jar with the story of the play make bets with each other as to which girl the vacillating hero will marry, and all allusions to the plight of the ap- the wrong parently forsaken sweetheart call forth an explosion of giggles, especial- ly from the top baleony. At no other performance do the vital points in serious plays miss the mark.’” Mr. Gladstone once addressed the house on the Irish question. An ob- servant right honorable gentleman tickled the faney of Mr. Labouchere. “The honorable member smiles,” said the G. O. M. “No,” said Mr. Labou- chere, shortly. “I hear him do it,” said Mr. Gladstone, promptly, and then the whole house was heard to smile. It was in the same debate that an im- passioned Irish member declared: “The government is taking a leap in the dark, compared with which all previous leaps are a mere flea bite,” and when the uproar had subsided, Mr. Labouchere interposed to say that he had no doubt that what the honorable member meant to say was a mere flea leap. Mr. Gladsone once declared that “we must not take our stand on the shifting sands of schemes that are hatched from day to day.” A well-known member once ended an impressive peroration as follows: “All classes, all creeds, all ranks—from the queen sitting on her throne to the laborer sitting on his cottage,” etc. Even the Indian has learned the efficacy of the modern game of “bluff.” Lo’s latest show of arms in Wyoming never meant fight, but the wily red man is to receive all sorts of sooth- ing concessions from Uncle Sam, ranging from plug tobacco to fancy collar buttons.
