Seibert, one of the most widely known politicians in Missouri, and for many years a power in the Democracy of the State, has been ap- pointed general agent of the passen- ger department of the Missouri Pa- _. cific & Iron Mountain System, with headquarters at St. Louis. Since his retirement from politics. Mr. Seibert has held the position of statistician with the Gould railroad. Colonel Seibert is a native of Mis- souri. He was born in Perry Coun- ty, February 3, 1847. After a course in the home schools he attended Mc- Kendree College. He moved to Cape Girardeau in 1866, and in the early part of his life, was occupied in agri- cultural and mercantile pursuits. He was Sheriff and Collector of Cape Girardeau county four years and Collector six years. He was elected State Treasurer of Missouri in 1884, and was State Auditor twelve years. In 1900, upon retiring from office at Jefferson City, Governor A. M. Dockery appointed him Excise Commissioner of St. Louis. He held public office about thirty years. Colonel Seibert is considered a warm friend of Vice President and prices charged by the lawyers and the slowness of the justice in the reg- differences arising between the em- A COURT WITH- OUT LAWYERS. | In Germany the Merchants And Trades Court Has Proved a Blessing to the Poor. Kansas City Star. “A Court Without Lawyers” was the Subject of an address by Prof. W. H. Carruth of the University of Kansas in All Soul Unitarian church 3431 Baltimore Avenue, last night. The merchants and trades courts in Berlin were cited as examples by Professor Carruth. “On account of the exorbitant ular courts,” Professor Carruth said, “the merchants and laborers of Ber- lin demanded of the national govern- ment a court for the settlement of all ployed and the employer. According in 1890 the trades court was orga- nized and in 1895 the merchants court was opened. The features of the courts are their promptness and fair- ness. Every cove is decided in less 8 | than three wech.s. Lne average numd- er of cases disposed of in a day in the two courts is twenty. “No lawyers are allowed in this court and the only officers are the judge and clerk who obtained their positions after passing a severe com- petitive examination. The judge asks the litigants concise questions and usually tries to effect a compromise. In case the suit is compromised no costs are assessed. The costs, when assessed, are graded, a judgment of five dollars costing the loser twenty- five cents, a judgment of ten dollars costing thirty-five cents and so on up the scale. “No criminal cases are tried in the trades and merchants’ courts. Only such cases as disputes between em- ployees and employers over wages paid or treatment accorded the em- ployed by the employer are heard. Lawyers are admitted into the crimi- nal courts. : “Of the cases brought before the trades and merchants’ ‘court, 90 per cent are brought by the laboring class while only 5 per cent are brought by the employers. The employers win a majority of their cases because they are seldom brought without good grounds. Besides his judicial duties the judge also serves as an adviser to the national government in labor legislation.” THE TEST OF MERIT. Butler People Are Given Con- vincing Proof. No better test of an article can be made than the test of time and this is particularly true of a kidney medicine. Doan’s Kidney Pills have stood this test and st it well. What better proof of the merits of this remedy could you demand, than the statement of a Butler resident who has been cured and has stayed cured? Read the following: Mrs. E. J. Tyler, 507 Harrison St., Butler, Mo., says: ‘I used Doan’s Kidney Pills and found them to be a General Solicitor Martin L. Clardy of the Missouri Pacific and Iron Moun- tain System. When Colonel W. H. Phelps re- tired from the legal department,.it was predicted that Colonel Seibert al- so would resign. As general agent of the psssenger department, Colonel Seibert’s work will be restricted chiefly to St. Louis, but he will perform such duties for the department as may be assigned to him by Passenger Traffic Manager C. - Li. Stone. He will outrank all the lo- cal officers of the road. SHOES—"‘DOUGLAS"’— SHOES splendid remedy for kidney trouble.

Gondkoro, Soudan, Feb.—Colonel Theodore Roosevelt arrived in Gon- dokoro and the African hunting trip was atan end. All the members of! the party were in good health and de-| clared that the hunting of the last ten | days, which took the expedition over an exceedingly difficult stretch of land, was one of the most enjoyable parts of the entire trip. } The party was met by a brass band | —Chief Keriba’s group of bulgers, headed by their leaders—fifteen miles out and the blasts from the horns gave the word that the former Presi- dent had reached the end of his trail. The band broke into ‘‘America”’ as the townspeople turned out in force. After it came a big stars and stripes borne by a porter, and then the cara- van, the native porters bringing up the rear. There was a big file of mail await- ing Mr, Roosevelt and within a short time he had plunged into it. From here he will go down the Bar-El-Jabel and the Nile to Khar- toum, where Mrs. Roosevelt will meet him. Then on to Cairo and to Europe 1s the itinerary. In the hunting trip the Smithsonian African expedition gathered nearly 10,000 vertebrates, thousands of plants, as many more invertebrates and made 2,500 photos. Some of the rarest specimens ever shot appear in the list. President Helps Orphans.

Jefferson City, Mo., Feb. 11, '10. Hon. Jacob F. Gmelich, Lieutenant Governor, Jefferson City, Missouri. Dear Sir.—Your communication of February 10 has been received. The figures given in the Missouri Manual of 1909-10 on the vote for Lieutenant Governor by precincts and by coun- ties are the figures reported by the various county and city election of- ficers to the Speaker of the House and on file in this office. The Secre- tary of the state has no power or authority to change these records, and if I had I would not make a change nor knowingly permit any one else so to do. The official re- turns of the last election of which I become official custodian show that Mr. William Painter was elected Lieutenant Governor by a plurality of twenty-three. The clerks in this of- fice to whom was assigned the com- pilation of election figures for the Manual so found, and since receiving your letter I have re-checked the fig- ures and find the official abstracts confirm the margin of twenty-three in Mr. Painter’s favor. I have no right, power or inclination to publish anything about those returns that the records do not plainly show on their face. Neither you nor I can change history that is made. Permit me to call your attention to page 31 of the House Journal of the last session. This record was signed by Speaker | nine years. It has proved a most excellent medicine for stomach, liver and kidney troubles. We regard it as one of the best family medicines on earth.’’ It invigorates all vital organs, purifies the blood, aids diges- tion creates appetites.

New York, Feb. 21.—‘‘Custom has decided that a womah’s pillow is her safe deposit vault at night, and as such can be considered judicially as safe a place for the security of her vaults of the United States Treasury.” Justice Foster of the General Ses- sions Court handed down this opin- ion to-day in declining to return to pawnbrokers with whom they had been pledged, jewels to the value of nearly $5,000, which had been stolen from Ida Emerson Hills. Miss Hills had put the jewelry under her pillow | when retiring with her mother, after | a New Year’s night party in the! house of her brother-in-law, Charles H. Zimmerman. When she awoke next morning she found the jewelry had been stolen and Zimmerman had disappeared. Zimmerman was arrested and sen- | tenced to Sing-Sing for the theft. The pawnbrokers claimed that Miss | Hills had been guilty of negligence i in| not putting her jewelry in a safe | place. Judge Foster’s dictum upset their claim. There jewels or other valuables as the) | Vote in the said sub-note giving yours Spear and compiled and signed by Chief Clerk Goshorn, The paragraph to which I would call your special at- tention was a part of the report made and signed by all members of the | Joint Committee, among whom are |such well known legislators of integ- rity as Hons. M. E. Rhodes, Hiram Lloyd, R. D. Silver, J. M. Grimes and A, E, L. Gardner, and which reads as follows: “Second—There were given to us by Speaker of the House various amended returns from several coun- ties, which we considered; and upon these, not counting those precincts disputed and on which the Committee could not agree without a recount, William R. Painter had a plurality of | twenty-seven votes.” Believing that the amended returns were honestly certified, founded on good law, and entitled to credit, I chose those as the proper figures to | publish i in the Manual. I believe they are entitled to greater credance than jany you or I, orany one else might substitute, and have a better claim to being official than any others that may*exist, or that might be manufac- tured by either an interested or dis- ‘interested party. Regarding you as jan honest citizen, I beiteve that if you were Secretary of State in my place [- would use the same figures I ave used. Since the totals in the vote for Lieutenant Governor show that Mr. Painter received the greater vote, I saw proper to adda sub-note to the table of figures, explaining that the lieutenant governorship being in dis- | pute was referred toa committee | which, after investigation, reported | you were elected bya plurality of |177. Allow me to assure you, esteem-| |ed sir, that gladly would I have pub- lished in the Manual had the Com- mittee so found that it was your opponent that had a margin in his fa- vor, but finding in this office the |records as above given I felt bound \in honor to respect the record andj} | publish the result as the Committee reported it and wrote it into the rec- ord of.the House Journal. The total and Mr. Painter's vote each an even one hundred less than the total in the | table is, manifestly, a typographical error, not, however, changing the 177 difference in your favor, again shows my absolutely impartial spirit | . in compiling for the Manual the rec- ords as they are. Realizing my inability to change past history, expressing a cheerful desire to convince you froma per- sonal inspection of the records here | on file that the Manual’s showing is | correct, and assuring you of my pro- | foundest personal regard, I am Yours truly, (Signed) Cornelius Roach, - cream tertar baking posuler.

New York, Feb.—Forty years ago Belvedere Brooks was a megsenger boy in Navasota, Texas. Wednesday | he was made general manager of the Western Union Telegraph Company, an office heretofore consolidated with that of the presidency. “Has the climb been hard?’’ he was asked. ‘‘Has it been hard to get n.?”” “Hard? No, not a bit of it,’”? Mr. Brooks said. ‘But, then, I have been lucky, awfully lucky. But it does not strike me that it is so hard to suc- ceed—to get on in your work. “Tf you only love your work, if you only promise yourself from the first that you will give it the best that is in you, and if you stick to that, you are bound to succeed. Honesty and in- dustry must be rewarded.” “Always?”’ he was asked. “Always,”’ cenfirmed Mr. Brooks soberly. ‘‘You hear a lot of talk about good men being downed by unscru- pulous enemies, but I tell you if a} man is straight you absolutely cannot | down him. You may give him a few| setbacks with underhanded deals, but | you cannot permanently harm him. | No, sir. Your straight man has to! | win, just as your crooked man has to \lose. It sounds old fashioned, but it) is gospel truth.”’ Mr. Brooks paused and plainly de-| cided not to go on. Then he changed | his mind, apparently, for he continued | with a laugh: “You see, the truth of the matter | is there is plenty of room for honesty | in New York. It is a policy—well, it is a trifle unique in some circles, and therefore rather more likely to win. * “New York. with its frivolity and its sometimes easy money, is too strong a temptation for the blood of the average young man.
