Mr. o. V. Garrison, who committed sui
eide in st. Louis on Monday afternoon, was
big stakeholder in the St. Louis Ore 6 Steel
| Company. In reciting this fact Tuesdays
| Globe Democrat says:
The fact that the Pilot Knob enterprise,
owned 10y the st. Louis Ore ana Steel COM
pany, was not remunerative did not dlmin
lsh his resources, as while the Plot Knob
end OF the concern was not making money,
the coal interests IF the Ore and Steel Conn
pany at Carbondale were prosperous in the
extreme, and the interest on The bonds was
being regularly paid. Similarly, the West
ern Steel Company, lessee of the Jupiter,
paid its rental, whether the furnace was in
blast or not.
To parties who remember the monthly
statements filed in court while this property
was in the hands of receiver, the foregoing
will be sensational news. These statements
every month displayed the fact that the
Pilot Knob mine was yielding big profits
while the expenses Of the Carondelet and
Grand Tower Departments invariably eX
ceeded their receipts. AS matter of fact it

the Ore & Steel Company out of the receiv-
ership and placed it on its feet again.

opinion on this matter, and it might be well |
for them not to act hastily in bringing in
dictments on that count, inasmuch as the |
law would acknowledgedly be in force in less

Jury to the study he had made of the ques-
ton as to whether it was cheaper for the
State to prosecute misdemeanors before a
Justice or by indie ment, and recommended
that they give the subject their most careful
thought. In order to facilitate their labors
in this connection the Judge furnished the
foreman with lot of memoranda and
statistics he had compiled, comparing the
methods in Use and the difference IN costs
in the five counties in his circuit. This is
1 matter that should be fully and freely
and we are gratitied to know
hat Judge L. has interested himself there
H. After the Grand Jury has made its re-
port, we will make use of the statistics
with which they have been furnished and
nave something more to say anent this ques-
ion, which is full of interest to every tax
payer in the circuit.
