THINKS HER SON
HAS BEEN KIDNAPED.
Mrs. De Muth of Hercnlanenni,
Mo., Seeks the Missing
Yonth in St Louis.
Mrs. Annie De Muth Is wandering bout
the city In search of her son. Frank De
Muth. who ran away from Louisiana, Mo.,
nearly three weeks ago. It 13 Mrs. De
Math's opinion that he has been kidnaped
or persuaded to abandon home by a man
In -whose company he was often seen. In
fact whan she last paw him he was seated
on top of a freight car with thl3 man
traveling toward St. Louis.
Frank Is 1 years old. and is very bold
and daring for his ace. On several occa
sions he has gone away, but on none has
he stayed so lonff.
Some time ago he told his mother about
the strange man who was then employed
about tho railroad yards In Louisiana.
Frank said the fellow was tired of the Httlo
town, and was going where he could flr.d
more excitement and have more money. In
cidentally. Frank threw out a "feeler" to
see how his mother would take his going
away with the man. but It so upset her
that he never mentioned tho subject again.
A few days after that Frank was reading
about tho wreck of Galveston, end he re
marked that he would soon be down there
to see it all. but still Ms mother paid little
attention to him. Two days later as ehe
was walking along the railroad tracks In
the outskirts of the town, she said, she was
startled to see her son seated on a freight
train with a man. Frank did not see his
mother, though she cried and gesticulated
wildly. The roar of the train drowned her
Voice as she stood there watching her
recreant son borne out of sight with a
Ctranger.
A week ago the De Muth family moved
to Herculaneum. Mo, a. small town on the
Mississippi River, about twenty miles be
low St. Louis. Mrs. De Muth hastened to
i St. Louis, where she Is conducting a pcr
- aonal search. If her boy Is In town Fhe
! Is determined to find him. At night the
' goes about the streets and looks In at the
various theaters. If she cannot find blm
here she says she will go to other towns
.where he may be.
"I feel that he has been kidnaped." she
said yesterday. "I think that Granger
has persuaded him to go away for some
bad purpose. He may have my boy In jail
before I find him."
Detectives havo been assigned to the
case.

Gentlemen: I have been a constant sufferer with stomach trouble for a number of
years. Have used various stomach medicines and spent a great amount of money without
any good results until I was fortunate enough to hear of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.
After a trial I was relieved and at the present time I am entirely well. I take pleasure in
recommending same to those afflicted with trouble of this kind and am sure that it is
instant relief and in time a sure cure. Respectfully yours,
E. O. WALKER.

TWO SWITCH BILLS
l!i CITY COUNCIL,
alms.li and Iron Mountain Bail-
mails Sit!: Additional Track
1'iivileges.
The Introduction of two railroad ?witch
bills In the City Council csterday after
noon, in addition to the two others which
hnvo been presented in the House of Dele
gates, within the last tv.o weeks, occasioned
much purprls" among the memler9 of the
upper house, and a rumor was fon circu
lated quietly that perh ips nn nttempt
wculd be made to plaeo tho Munloinil At
rcmbly on public record In this matter.
The bills which were tendered In the
House wero Intrusted to tho Itallroad Com
mittee. One of them authorizes tho Vnua.h
Kallroad to build n. spur track at Vanile
enWr a-cnue and tho main tracks; the
other empowers tho St. lxuis, Iron Moun
tain and Southern ltallrnad to lay switch
raiU at Kosciusko and SotilarJ .streetn.
Tho Iron Mountain bill was referred to a
committee last night, and the Wabash 1)111
Tutsday night, but tho committee mad- no
report last nlzhl on the first bill.
The Mils submitted In tho Council yes
terday afternoon nre understood to have the
Fupport of the St. Louis Manufacturers'
AhMielallon. und aro of a c!as that Is
deemed Important by business men gen
erally, one in particular having a vccullar
significance. Councilman Kratz offered, by
rtquest, a bill to allow the Missouri Pacific
Itailroad Company to build a spur track
from Fourteenth and Gratiot streets east
ward through th alley letween Gratiot and
I'aphi streets to the Shlckle, Harri-on &
Howard Company's foundrj' at Twelfth and
Gratiot streets.
Tho second Mil was submttted by Council
man Gast, by request. It permits tho St.
Lcuis Merchants' Bridge Terminal Railroa
Company to lay a switch track along Mal
Hnckrodt strett to the Buck Stove and
Itaiige Company at No. tt) North Second
btreet. Both measures were laid over for
recond reading. Many managers of manu
facturing and mercantile concerns will
watch the.se two bills with keen interest,
as .some former ones that wpfe stnt to the
A-embly met with mjsterious death.s.
The Shlckle. Harrison A; Howard Com
pany sought favorable legislation prior to
this on a bimil.tr bill, but It was not passed,
and tho company erected a. new factory In
East St. Louis. Mr. Harrison Is quoted as
saying that his firm will bo enabled to keep
a large number of men at work In th St.
Louis shops if the rresent bill should be
eonio a law. The statement that the St.
Louis Manufacturers' Association la foster
ing the Council bills comes from a reliable
f-ourte. , .
The race Is now on between the City
Council and the House of Delegates. Each
body has two switch bills to consider, and
to pass on or to teject.
COUNCIL TAKES ANOTHER REST
Treasury Deficit and Other Matters
Xeed Attention.
With Important legislation pending and
an enormous deficit existing In tho City
Treasury, the City Council sestcrday after
noon unanimously voted to adjourn for ine
week. skipping the regular meeting
scheduled for next Tuesday afternoon. This
action wan taki n on motion of Mr. Carroll,
vhjinnan of th" Ways and Means Com
mittee. Immediately after Mr. IUcIiards had
announced that the Committee on Munici
pal Attnlrs would hold u public hearing on
the Exposition Bill nn hour before the next
met ting.
Mr. Carroll vouched no explanation nnd
no member asked why the regular meeting
could not Ie held. A week ago Mr. Carroll
made a like motion, stating then that the
precinct registrations would bo in progress
Tuesday, an.l he would have much work to
do.
The new Suburban Hallway bill Is In the
hands of the Committee on ltallrond.s and
scatcely any one expects that uny anion
will be taken on It until after the election.
Probablv pulillc ntt nllnn Is more om
monly focused on the eleflclt In clt finances
than on an thing else, and the adjournment
nf the Council lrom week to week Is re-spon-dfile
tor a certain nmount of com
ment from official circles as to the means
that will 1 adopted to meet the emergency.

as to who committed the cowardly deed of

would cover all traces of the crime.
Doctor Wright slept In the rear of his

showing that a terrible struggle had en
sued. The body lay face up. all the limbs
burned ofT. and nlmve the right eyo there
was a largo hole in the skull, which had
been mado by some heavy, blunt instrument.
Tho unfortunate man had no enemies, and
the community la at a less to account for

The verdict et the Coroner's Jury was
that ho camo to his death from a blow on

Mr. Alschuler was weary this morning
when he a fcened at Greenup. It was
midnight U-ioro he went to sleep and the
day had been probably the- most trilng of
his experience. Early this morning the
fart..ers began to wheel Into Greenup from
all over Cumberland County, and Clark and
Kdgar also were represented. The proces
sion was ercrmous. It was another illus
tration of the Intense interest being taken
In the Issues of the day and In the Demo
cratic candldato for Governor. He talked
to 4.f pe'ople at 10 o'clock In a plain, matter-of-fact
way. without rhetorical tlouri-di
Just about the same way he talks In oreli
nnry conversation. He told them of tho
wrongs against the flag and against tho
time-honored principles of the Republic and
how- the present Republican party was
striving to establish a limited monarchy,
not with titles of nobility, but with all the
adjuncts of a monarchy without a King.
The closest attention was paid to Mr. Al

how- truly he had devclopeel the love of free

Professor Clinton Woods presided. Con

Highland was reached In the middle of
the afternoon, and there was a parade, and

is the time for the annual "coffee" of the

dles divided the afternoon with Mr. Al
schuler. giving him the use of the town
hall, which they had rentcel. Nearly every
body In Highland Is German, and Mr. Al
schuler Joked and gossiped and told stories
In the native tongue with the people. Tired
as lie was, he fe.rgot It In mingling with
the reople. all of whom formerly lived in
Gtrmany or are descended from German
ancestors. He was Introduced by C. H.
Burton of Edwardsvllle. Mr. Phillip Baer
presided.
Pointed Campaign Stories.
Mr. Alschuler related the story of hi3 fcdt
to tho Fatherland several years ago, and
tho Impression made on his mind by so
many soldiers. They crowded the people oir
the street and the officers were arrogant
and dictatorial. He suggested that many of
his audience knew all about it. and tho
grins and nods In tho affirmative answered
"yes."
Illustrating the ideas of the peasants re
garding kings he told a story In German
of a peasant who returned home one even
ing and gleefully shouted to his wife that
"11 great honor had come to them."
"What Is It? What Is It?" tho wife asked.
"Tho King spoke to me."
"What did he say? What did he say?"
"He said, "Get out of tho way, you lazy

"And that." continued Mr. Alschuler. "Ls
considered .1 great honor In some European
monarchies."
Prosperity of the trust brand ls bearing
down pretty hard on the farmers of Madi
son County. They have quit buying barbed
wire, because the trust price Is prohibitive.
They nre pacing 3) per cent more for their
necessities, and ono of them told me that
he was not getting as much for his grain
as under Cleveland. They havo little stock,
eavo the work horses and milch cows, and
agricultural Implements have risen In price
until they cannot afford to buy them.
The train pulled Into East St. Louis an
hour late. After supper the special train
for Bellcvlll-J was boarded. This consisted
of fourteen coaches, and every one was
crowded to tho limit, over 1.3M voters ac
cepting tho courtesies of tho Railroad
Men's Bryan and Alschuler Club.undr
whoso auspices Mr. Alschuler spoke to
night. St. Clair County Is In n turmoil. It never
has cast Its vote twice in succession for the
Fame political party. I am Informed, and
this year it will not break the record, and
more Important still. St. Clair always goe-
bard for the side it Is on.
It Is Democratic year this time, and the
majority Is s-ure to be nearly 5u It was
k") Republican in 1S36. Some of the most
enthusiastic candidates for county office,
who havu canvassed every precinct In tho
county, declare it will ovceed 1,000. The
Immense registration In East St. Louis. 7.-
835. astonishes the Republicans. They con
fess tneir amazement anei mat tney uon t
understand it. Tho Democrats smlllngly
advlse their enemy to wait until the votes
are counted next month, and then they
will know more. Tho heaviest Increase In
registration Is- In Democratic wards.
This carrying of St. Clair means that Bil
ly Rodenberg will be defeated by at least
1.009 more votes than Kern's majority In
St. Clair. That ls. Kern will come to St.
Clair with at least 1.O0O. and there ls not
one chance In a hundred of Rodenberg'9
election. East St. Louis voters compli
mented Rodenberg two years ago, and the
Democrats of that hustling city think he
ought to be satisfied with their support
then.
This year there Is too much at stake, and
besides. Sir. Rodenberg disgusted hundreds
of Democrats and Republicans, who Im
agined he had some backbone, when ho
turned his back on the Porto Rlcan bill and
voted for the 13 per cent tariff because
Mark Hanna wanted him to do so. He ls
charged with being the representative of
Hanna. and not of the Twenty-first Illinois
District. The Anti-Kern Democratic Club of 1
East St. Louis ls a phantom, a burlesque. I

The turning of the Wochenblatt, German

To add to their other troubles, tho Repub

there Is some talk of organizing a non
