CITY DISPENSARY
IS WITHOUT A CAT.
Faithful Old Feline Died on the Scene
of Many Victorious Fichts
With Rats.
For the first time In Its history the City
Dispensary Is without a cat. and the many
rats that Infest the old City Hall building
are having their own way.
The dispensary cat died Sunday night.
The doctors attached to Chief Physician
Jordan's staff were unable to diagnose the
case, but believe it was poison that re
moved the faithful feline.
Until a month ego several cats made
their homes around the dispensary, sub
sisting on food given to them from the
lunches of doctors, clerks and ambulance
drivers. In addition to the rats they caught.
Two or three of the cats died, and others
left the building. Only one remained,
a female, which snowed unusual greed for
rats.
Often this cat was seen dragging a rat
nearly as !ar&e as hereelf back into the
yard or under the building for a meal. She
was a great favorite around the old build
ing, on account of her gameness In tack
line rats, no matter how large, and when
it was known yesterday that she had died
the dispensary attaches were sad.
Cares the Drlalc Habit.
The Immune Treatment removes all de
zire for drink: and, in fact, makes alchollc
stimulants of all kinds offensive. The lead
ins business men and ministers of St, Louis
have Indorsed this method, and their let

ing made to get the national guard In first-

City. Brigadier Surgeon: Captain F. M.
Rumbold of Battery A: Colonel Sinclair
and Captains Summers. Murphy. Donnelly

the First Regiment.
During the encampment tha militiamen
enjoyed numerous good laughs at the ex-
Eense of Lieutenant William Lionel Cham

tion of belnir the "ladles' man" of General
Clark's staff. Chambers served as private
In Battery A. and did duty as first sar-
geant'a clerk during the Spanish-American
War. He was generally known among tha
batterymen as "Billy Cholmbers, tha

The Lieutenant possesses a growth of
chin whiskers of which he Is proud. Short
ly after arriving In Butler h repaired to
the home of General Clark to pay his re
spects to the family of his senior ofllcer.
