Dr. Shoop's
Rheumatic Cure
Costs Nothing if it Fails.
Any lionet person who differs from
Rheumatism is welcome to this ofTer I or
vears I searched ever where to find a
specific for Rheumatism. For nearly 20
jean I worked to this end. At lafct. In
Germany, my search was rewarded. 1
found a costly chemical that d'd not dis
appoint me as other Rheumatic prescrip
tions had disappointed phj-icians ever
w hero.
I do not mean that Dr. Shoots Rheu
matic Cure can turn bony Joints Into flesh
strain. That Is Impossible. But it will
alrivc from the blood the polon that
sjjfcu-es pain and swelling, and tl-cn that
sJuTYhc end of Rheumatism. I know this so
well that I will furnish for a full month
my Rheumatic Cure on trial. I cannot
cure all cae within a month. It would
be unreasonable to expect that. But most
cases will jleld within 30 das. This
trial treatment will conInce jou that Dr.
Shoop's Rheumatic Cure is a. power
against Rheumatism a potent force
against disease that Is Irresistible
My offer is made to convince jcu of mi
faith, My faith is but the outcome of ex
perience of actual knowledge- I KNOW
what It can do And I know this so well
that I will furnish my remedy on trial
Simply write me a postal for my book on
Rheumatism. 1 will then arrange with a
druggist in our icinity so thjt sou can
secure six bott'es of Dr. Shoop's Rheu
matic Cure to make the test, lou maj

actly. If jou saj the tri.il is not satis
factory I don't expect a jx.nnj from ou
I hac no sample. Any mere bumpie
th.t can affect chronic Rheumatism must
be tlrus'-ed to the verge of danger. 1 usj
no drug", fcr It is dangerous to take them,
ou rauit get the disease out of the blood
My remedy docs that, even In the most
dilficult. obstinate cases It has cured the
oldest cases I ever met, and in all of mv
experience. In all of my 2.0W tests, I
nver found another remedv- that would
cure one chronic case in ten.
Write me and I will send jou the book.

Members of the Missouri Battleship Tes-
tlmontal, who had received the official no
tification of Major Wells Informing them
of their appointment on the committee,
approved of the p'.an set forth In the
Major's letter, that subcommittees be ap
pointed in the various organizations to
circulate subscription lists and obtain con
tributions. Theodore M. Ballard, chairman of the
committee, stated that he should appoint
a committee ot members of the Merchants'
Evchange immediatelj'.
"I shall endeavor to appoint on this
committee men who will work," said Mr.
Eillard.- "and to full cover the field 1
shall select ono member from each of the
five divisions of the exchange. To these
men will be left the circulation of the
lists.
"As to calling a meeting of the General
Committee, sucli action should not be
taken. In mj- opinion, until the members
have had time to select their subcommit
tees and get the work well under waj-.
"I sei no reason whj St. Louis should
not contribute at least $3,000 to the testi
monial fund, and if the State at large will
Co as much, the testimonial win ue
worthy of the fifth State in the -Union.
"Every man selected by tho Major or
appointed on the subcommittees should
dcem.ltian honor and cndeivor to do his
pirt of the work. Unless all work In uni
son and under a definite plan, such as
the Mijor outlines in Ills letter, the work
that might be finished in a few dajs will
drag along for weeks."
Edward C. Eliot, president of the Civic
Improvement League, has not determined
on the committee he intends to appoint,
but will take action as soon as possible
along the lines suggested bj- Major Wells,
"I could not posslblv do justice to this
matter at present," said Mr. Eliot, "If I
had to work alone. The appointment of a
subcommittee will take some of tho work
of actual solicitation off mj hands, and
with the appointment of a committee of
four or five members of the league, the
lalslng ot the fund should go rapldij
forwaid.
FAVORS A LIBRARY.
"Mj- personal wishes Incline toward a
librarj- for all on board the 'hip. Officers
and men could use the books, while the
silver service would be used bj- the of
ficers alone. It might not be a bad Idea
If the fund was of .sufficient magnitude, to
give both the silver service and a library
or some gift that would bo of direct ad
vantago to the men
"It is a little previous to saj' what
form the testimonial should tike, as the
olficers of the ship should be consulted
ai to their needs."
' This mntter of a testimonial." said J.
C. Win Blarcom, president ot the Clear-irg-houe
Association, "is an expression
of the honor felt bj tho State for which
tl,e ship is named, and that the State of
Missouri has been honored cannot be
questioned A silver service is usuall)'
given, I believe, and this committee, to
which I am appointed bj the Major, is to
raise a fund for that purpose.
"I shall shortlj- announca a committee
of representative men from the clearln-
tinllse."
Lawrence D. Kincdand. president of the I
opinion that tile ofticeis of the battleship
should be consulted before the form ot

of Patrick Butler, a watcher at the polls
in the Jill voting precinct.
The shooting hid no connection with
politics. Butler's account of" the affair
is that he, with several companions, were
plaj fully contesting for the possession of
a cane which belonged to Butler, nnd In
the pcuffle Armstead was struck by the
cane as he was msslnB. Without other
provocation, Armstead drew a revolver
and fired.
After the shooting Armstead ran to the
Monongahel.i River, followed by at Ieat
GC0 men, who kept up a continual cry of
"Lynch him."
When the negro was finally captured
the, police had a desperate fight with the
crowd to protect their prisoner, but
eventually got him safely Into an cnslr.e
house and later took him to jail.

and the country It belongs to should be
part of this Republic.

Mrs. D.ivld Rowland I"rancis made the

The lioue is delightful. E-ceiulslte daint
iness, quiet elegance, and solid comfort
form the tune to which the new- club Is
pitched, rather than showlness or an ef
fort at elaborate- grandeur.
The rooms are- ta-neful. restful and cozy.
The living mom. for example, has much
old-fashioned mahogany furniture-, not to.

COJirORTABLi: HOME.
I'pstalrs the cafe In olive- green occupies
the entire- width of the house and was jes
terday used as the main audItorlumand
reception-room. The nriv ate dining-rooms,
in I'onipeilan re-d with vari-colored dra
peries and tasteful hangings, open from
this cafe and will be much used when lit
tle dinners nre In order. On the third
Iloor are- attractive sleeping-rooms. In gay
colors also the housekeepers apartments.
The house Is distinctly a place for use
and convenience- and is thoroughly sub
stantial, with nothing too fine for daily
use. It Is already recognized as a home
by its members.
At the- close of her remarks Mrs. rran-r-ir.
introduceei Marshall Darrach ot New
York as the afternoon's entertainer. Mr.
Darrach had been heard before by St.
Louis audiences and was no stranger to
many of the women present, so that his
reception was a cordnl one. He was in
especially line trim and chose, by an
amusing little roinclde'ncc, the "Comcdy
of Krrors" for his recital.
"A man is master of his liberty; time is
their master; nnd when they see time
thej'll go or come. If iJi. be patient, sis
ter. ' reid Mr. Darrach, impersonating the
lair Luci.tna.
"Why should their liberty be more than
ours?" querie'1 tho impatient Adrlana,
and tt gentle r'pplo of amusement twept
over the assembly of women us the read
er paused with a bit of amused shrnlfl
canee With the fourding of the first women's
club in St. Louis alone the- same lines ot
men's organizations this question of lib
erty lias rcttltd itself.
.Mr. Darrach wound up his programme
of nn hour and a qu irter by giving Mrs,
Browning's "Murlcal Instrument" and
three- short poems of his own. "A Love
Song," a delicate "Canoe Song" and a
very original rnd charming conceit enti
tled "Margrcte-'s Eves." Then the pro
el ammo closed and the club me-mbers met
Mr. Darrach. who found his experience of
beins the onlv man at a ladles' assembly
not a whit embarrassing, nnd rather in
teresting, if his demeanor is to be taken
as indicatory.
Tiom a pretty tabic in one of the din-inr-rooms
Mrs. Lee Benoist, Miss Ken
naiel and Mrs. Max Kotany served small
sauelw lclies nml chocolate, ices, calces and
bonbons, and alter a short period of in-se-ctlon
and sociability the club members
dispersed, with mutual congratulations
and pleasure In their new abiding place.

Choral Club took place ye3terday morn

full roster of members responding to the
roll call.
Mr. Alfred Ernst, the club's new di
rector, conducted for the first time. As
this body of singers depends mainly for
its best effects on contrast, light and
shade, and delicate work, rather than
volume, since the membership is not over
a hundred. Mr. Ernst brought that point
