Mrs. John Nolan chased a negro from her
home at No. S3 Finney avenue Monday aft
ernoon with a pistol and fired four shots
at him as he ran south on Whlttler street.
She thinks she wounded him.
The negro, whose last name. Mrs. Nolan
says. Is Phillips, was employed by her as a
houseman. On Sunday she discharged him
for neglecting his work. About 4 o'clock
Monday afternoon he returned to the house
and demanded an explanation of his dis
charge and money he claimed was due him.
Mrs. Nolan refused to discuss the mat
ter with him and ordered him from the
house. He attacked her with his flats and
struck her twice In the face. Mrs. Nolan
then got a pistol from a sideboard drawer
and, seeing the weapon, Phillips ran from
the house.
Mrs. Noian followed him to the side
walk and as she chared him toward Whlt
tler street fired at him. The negro was
seen to stumble as he turned the corner,
and Mrs. Nolan believes one of the bullets
took effect.
The police have been unable to find Phil

sometimes relieve, but for real, per

Mrs. Whittaker is a highly intellectual woman, and as presidtnt of B"
prominent Savannah woman s organization her words are worth con-'
sideration. She has made'np her mind that doctors are an expensive and
often unnecessary luxury, and that Wine of Cardui is & medicine that
can be depended on. Besides being surer and more lasting as aremedy
the trifling cost of Wine of Cardui -commends this great remedy to every
suffering woman. If every woman in the land today would study existing
conditions as Mrs. Whittaker has studied them she would comu to the
same conclusion regarding AVine of Cardui. Every woman has friends
who have paid doctors bills for years with no particular result.
Many famines have been dragged down to poverty in this way. At
the same time over a million women have secured health by taking Wine
of Cardui, purchased from druggist at a nominal cost wine of Cardui
cores menstrual disorders and drives weakaess from the female system.

weeks by the faithful use of this
remedy. For the general toning up
of the system it has no superior; and
if tired out, sick women would use
one or two bottles of Wine of Cardui
instead of dragging wearily through
weeks of suffering it would sot only
be sure to cure them but they would
avoid the serious results we daily see
around us caused by neglecting na
ture when she cries out for relief
and succor.
The nominal cost of this remedy
compared to doctors and prescrip

worthy to be considered, especially
as in my opinion the results with

its superior medicinal value I heart

Who wiU control the Influence which
comes from a minority nomination for the
United States Senate? Republicans are fig
uring on the possibilities of the situation
which Is presented by the factional com
plexion of the minority In tho General As
sembly and wondering Into whose band
wagon the Representatives and Senators
will Jump next January.
Both the Kerens and Akins factions aro
claiming control of the Republicans who
will be In Jefferson City when the Cneral
Assembly convenes. It means much to
them. Upon the outcome of this battle will
depend In a measure the distribution of
patronage, for, whllo most of the post of
fices and other Federal Jobs have been dis
tributed, the man vho captures the sena
torial nomination will be on tho highway to
the national committeemanship mo years
hence.
And to the Republicans of Missouri that
means much. To R. C. Kerens, the present
Committeeman, It has meant a poucr second
to none in the State until Akins. Bar
tholdt and Joy formed a combination
against him and were recognized by Presi
dent Roosetelt. Kven now a majority of
the Postmasters recognize the potent spell
of this office and bow to the dictation of
Kerens.
OPPOSING! CLAIMS ARE MADE.
Colonel Kerens is now In Eureka Springs,
where he is resting after the arduous wort
of the campaign. It Is rumored thrt hj
v.111 not seek the minority nomlmtioo,
claiming that there Is not enough in it for
him, especially since the President has seen
fit to play the other faction as favorite.
At that. It Is said he concedes only
twenty-six Republican legislators to the
Ak.ns faction. With a total of sixty-four
Republlcan Representatives and Senators,
this would give him a fair working ma
jority. If the claims of his friends are
correct, the State chairman would not be
In the running.
mends of the State chairman do not
talk in such fashion. They claim that they
hae all but nineteen of the Ilfty-sl Rep
resentatives and four of the Senators. If
this is correct, the National Committeeman
has only twenty-three votps in the Re
publican caucus. Many of these, it Is
ilaimed, are doubtful and will Jump into
the band wagon.
NAMES ARE MENTIONED.
Guesses have been made regarding who
the choice of the caucus will be for United
States Senator. If Kerens decides to lay
down the crown before he gets it, he may
be able to work one of his famous harmony
rackets and secure the nomination of a
neutral, or. In other words, ono who can be
persuaded to join hands with him.
State Chairman Akins has openly an
nounced that he will not seek the nomina
tion. His policy has always been to scatter
honors among his friends. He has been
three- tlme elected State chairman, tw Ice
unanimously. He has been treated hand
somely by the party and. It is said, feeN
that good would be done by allowing son
other man to get this bauMe.
Many names are mentioned. Charles
Nagel has been the most prominent. James
L. Mlnnls could probably get it If his am
bitions were in that direction. John II.
Bothwell of Sedalla w ould probably not be
averse to the honor. John Kennlsh of
Mound Cityhas been mentioned. D. P.
Dyer and William Warner, both United
States District Attorneys, could be relied
upon to see that the Federal patronage did
not go astray.
STATE SDXATORS' GOSSIP.
Candidates for Office In the Upper
Body of the General Assembly.
State Senator Frank H. Farris was In
tho city jesterday visiting the politicians.
Ho was with DaMd Nelson, one of the new
Senators from St. Louis, part of the time.
Gossip about the offices of the Senate has
brought out Tom Wand of this city, who,
it Is said, would not be averse to being
sergeant-at-arms. He has occupied that post
at numerous conventions and is acquainted
throughout the interior of the State. It Is
not known whether James Dameron of
Chariton County will be a candidate for
re-election as sergeant-at-arma. It Is said
that Bob McCllntock of Marlon will ask for
re-election as assistant secretary of the
Senate. Cornelius Roach of Carthage expects
to be re-elected secretary
JOE P. RICE MOVES TO ST. LOUII.
Has Sold Ilia Home In MoDerly and,
Will Brinsr His Family Here.
Railroad and Warehouse Commissioner
Joseph P. Rice, who has been re-elected
for a term of six years, Is moving his fam
ily from Moberly to this city. Most of his
tlmo is opent In this city, and convenience
makes the change advisable In his view.
He has taken a house at No. 2623 South
Compton avenue, where he will live with
his wife, his daughter, Gertrude, and son,
Robert Ke pxrects to be Installed in his
new home before the week Is ended. He
has sold his homo In Moberly.
Trying to Organise Republicans.
Efforts aro being made to organize tho
Republicans who will be In Jefferson and
present a bold front against the Demo
crats. If there had been such an organiza
tion at the last session of tho General As
sembly, the Republican record would have
been much more creditable. As It was, they
were so divided among themselves by their
allegiance to the lobby that party lines
wero Ignored, especially In the Senate,
where the whip of the "Colonels" was all
powerful. The Republicans will have some strong
men In the House. John E. Bothwcll, Sam
P. O'Fallon and Doctor EL B. Clements
will prooably be the leaders of tho Repub
licans In their efforts to concentrate their
forces. In the Senate, the lobby will prob
ably have control of tho mlnoritv. as In thi
past Senators Clarke and Jewell of Kan
sas City will be lined up as usual unless
Clarke's conversion to the Akins facUon
has changed his legislative pracue. c. S.
Bmlth of St. Louis will probably be with
them. Mclndoe of Jasper was elected by
the help of Phelps. Young of Texas and
McKlnley of the Fourth District will not
be liable to Judgment until their record Is
made.
Akins and Shrlner Rest.
A. L. Shrlner, secretary of the Republican
State Commltteee. returned yesterday from
a ten days' vacation in Polk County, his
old home. State Chairman Thomas J. Akins
expects to leave this afternoon for Hu
mansvllle for a week's rest. He may take
a,t?I 5 California within the next fort
night. Secretary Shrlner will have charge
of the State headquarters during the ab
sence of Chairman Akins.

Failure of the police to eauie the removal
of garbage and debris In alleys and vacant
lots Is cited as a reason why St. Louis
should have women Inspectors for this
branch of police work. Tho suggestion
came from Mrs. Mary Louise McCall. chair
man of the Sanitary Committee of the Civic
Improvement League, nt a meeting yester
day afternoon at No. 1C23 Washington ae
nue. The Twenty-fifth Ward, bounded on the
west by Newstead avenue, east by Grand
avenue, north by Cook and south by Nor
folk, Swan and Manchester avenues, trav
ersed by many of St- Louis's handsomest
boulevards and the site of many of the
handsomest residences, was pointed to as
an examplo'of police negligence.
Reports of most of the ward represent
atives strongly condemned the police for
falling to live up to the instructions in the
police manual regarding tho dumping of
garbage, ashes, debris and the throwing of
refuse Into the street.
Mrs. Rice, who Is Interested In the Jew
ish charities, reported that the district im
mediately adjoining the United Jewish
Charitable and Educational building was In
a bad condition, and said that she has re
peatedly warned the patrolmen walking
that beat that she would bring the mat
ter to the attention of the Board of Health
and their superiors if they did not take
some action. She stated that this threat
brought some rtsults, but that the district
was tar from being in a good sanitary con
dition. Poor police Inspection of the fashionable
Twenty-eighth Ward was referred to by
Mrs. Lverett Pattlson. This condition, Mrs.
Pattl3on ascribed to the apathy of the po
lice. LAX POLICE INSPECTION.
The committee was of the unanimous
opinion that lax Inspection by the police
rendered the appointment of women in
spectors much to be desired.
A subcommittee composed of Mr. George
B. Ltlghton. president of the Civic Im
provement league: .Mrs. uscar wntteiaw,
vice president of the Civic Improvement
League: Mrs. Mary Louise McCall, chair
man of the Sanitary Committee of tho
league, and Doctor M. B. Tucker and Mrs.
W. S. Scott were appointed to confer with
the Major and health oWclals regarding
tlieh appointment of women inspectoral.
To test the practicability of such In
spectors. Doctor M. E. Tucker will go to
Chicago to study the methods of the wom
en Inspectors of that city. She will make
the tour of Inspection and Investigation
next week and will embody the results of
her observation In a report to the
next mecUng of the committee. Hull
House will be visited daring her stay In
Chicago.
The league believes that many competent
women would be found not only willing, but
anxious, to act as sanitary Inspectors. They
are of the opinion that women would prove
very satisfactory in all except the slum
parts of the city.
A report was made that a movement to
turn small private lots Into parks and play
grounds has started in Clifton Heights. One
of these parks. Frisco Park, on Clifton ave

AN EASY WAY
To Keep Well.
It li easy to keep well If we would only
observe, each day a few simple rules of
healfnV
The all-Important thing Is to keep the
stomach right and to do thli It Is not neces
sary to diet or to follow a set rule or bill of
fare. Such pampering simply makes a
capricious appetite and a feeUng that cer
tain favorite articles of food must be avoid
ed. Prof. WIechold gives pretty good advice
on this subject; he ways: "I am 8 years
old and have never had a serious Illness,
and at the same time ray -life has been
largely an Indoor one, but I early discov
ered that the way to keep healthy was to
keep a healthy stomach, nqt by eating bran
crackers or dieting of any sort; on the con
trary, I always eat what my appetite
craves, but dally for the past eight years I
have made It a practice to take ono or two
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after" each
meal, and I attribute my robust health for
a man of my age. to the regular dully use
of Stuart's Tablets.
"My physician first advised me to use
them because he said they were perfectly
harmless and" were not a secret patent
medicine, but contained 'only the natural
digestives, peptones and diastase, and after
using them a few weeks I have never
ceased to think him for his advice.
"I honestly believe the habit of taking
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after meals Is
the real health habit, because their use
brings health to the sick and ailing and
preserves health to the well and strong."
Men and women past fifty years of age
need a. safe digestive after- meals to Insure
a perfect digestion and to ward off disease,
and the safest, best known and most widely
used is Stuart's Dyspepsia. Tablets.
They are found in every well regulate!
household from Maine to California and in
Great Britain and Australia are rapidly
pushing their way into popular favor.
All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, full-sized Pkgs at 60 centr. and for
weak stomach a fifty-cent package will
ttften ti fl'ty dollars' worth of good.

UEQUESTS FOR CHARITr WORK.
During the past two or three years several be
quests have been made to the St- Louis Provident
Association, and we have recently received from
W. W. Trigg, executor. J1.4S7.C. being the
amount of bequest made bv Mrs. Susanna R.
bparr Steele of Uoonvllle. Mo. We have also
been advised that George If- Holland of this
city has made a bequest to this association ot
11.000 and Henry Ulemenx, Jr..ioi this city ha
also bequested this association $l,0ol
I desire, tu express on behait of the associa
tion our grateful thanks to the press of the city
for numerous complimentary references made to
the work of our organization, and particularly
for their co-operation In referring to us the
many letters which constantly come to a news
paper ofnee sollclung aid from the general pub
lic, thus permitting the association to make In
vestigation to determine the worthiness of such
applicants and to furnish the necessary and
proper relief.
We desire also to thank the pastors of churches
and the host of our charitable citizens who have
by their advice and co-operation rendered valua
ble assistance to the management of the asso
ciation In our work We gratefully acknowledge
rtr Indebtedness to the contributors' to our funds
who. by their co-operation, have made the
larger work of the association possible.
It has been well said by the St. Iyrols Re
public In a recent editorial: "Indiscriminate and
unlnvestigatlnc charity defeats its own purpose
cf relieving the deserving. It tends rather to
create the fake beggar or professional mendi
cant, and the huky tramp, who wheedles from
the soft-hearted the money which he spends In
barrelhoues for drink. Give to the poor freely,
but to give that what you give will reach the
worthy poor, and not the professional mendicant,
whose nu-nbers you Increase by thus encouraging
their calling."

dent Association for the ear is as follows:
