Colonel Foi bes Post Surprised and
Captured.
LaPlata, Mo-, May 10th.

'.~ 's'~''t ~O'J -'-J
Last week pleasant surprise
was planned by the lady friends
of Colonel Forbes Post. Friday,
May, 8, the members gathered as
usual in the Good Templars hall
and proceeded with the ordinary
routine Of buiness, little dreaming
that their household was SO soon
to be captured. About half past
eight an observer would have seen
parties of ladies, old and young,
laden with baskets gathering at
the foot of the stairs. A note
was sentup asking for admittance,
but before they could grant it the
ante room was crowded. With the
exception of two or three of the
comrades, the Post was complete
ly surprised. The commander
hastily formed the men into line,
but as their wives, sisters and
daughters fled in, the line waver-
ed, then broke ranks and sur
rendered without show of re-
sistance. Comrade Crawford made
short speech assuring them that
their captors had not come empty
handed and they evidently made
up their minds that they were in
no danger. The post took re.
cess; tables were provided and
baskets unpacked. One would
have thought that they had needed
we'll the tales Of foraging that
every soldier loves to scout, fol
that henroosts had been visited
and smoke houses invaded was
evident from the abundance OF
chicken and ham provided; but
to remind them that the war is
over the table was crowded with
cakes, pies, pickles, canned peach
es, lemonade, etc, and the pot Of
beans was not forgotten. A
merrier crowd than the one gath.
cred there is not often seen A
veritable piece of hard tack which
Mrs. Walker has kept for tH Henty
years was passed from one to an.
other, it being a great curiosity te
many of those present. When al
had eaten, Comrade Edwards was
called upon for a speech. He
said he had not been SO complete
| ly surprised since Morgan's mel
dressed in federal uniform, made
a raid upon and captured his regi
ment during the war, and that ht
was now prepared to refute the
current saying that woman
could not keep a secret, for while
he was in perfect ignorance of the
raid that was to be made upo1
them, he was told that his wife
had known all about it for a week
The speech was full of fun anc
good points. The Post rendered
the women a vote of thanks anc
a cordial invitation to come again
A committee of three comrades
and three ladies was appointed te
make arrangements for decoration
day. Taken all together it was
a very pleasant gathering, and we
said good bye hoping that,
When mustered out from the battle of life,
Husband and brother, daughter and wife
May meet again in the home above
| Where there is no more war but all is Love
Done by order of the Post.

Pain Balm to my breast. These

success, since then we have never
been without these medicines in
our house. l had cousin who
was printer and was employed
in a job Office in this city, where
they were printing circulars for

while setting up the copy he made

first time 1 ever knew anything of
Chamberlain's remedies. 1 have

BEATTIE WINS THE STRIKE.
The Street Cleaners Agree to
Work Half the Week Only.
They Grumble at the Terms. but
Necessity Forces Them to Accept.

The strike Of the Street.C Cleaning De.
partment employees is ended.
Supt. Whalen, who conducted the ne
gotiations in the absence Of Commissions
Benttie, could make no concessions, and
the men finally acquiesced to the PROPOSE
ton hat they work but half Of each week
at the usual wages s2 per day.
1t was n bitter pill for the men to swal-
low, but they could do no better, MS there
is only sufficient money left in the fund
TO pay them for half time, and the Board
of Estimate and Apportionment will give
Commissioner Beattie no more.
There was q great deal Of discomfort
manifested by the men who reported for
duty to man the ash and dirt carts to day,
but it was only expressed i'll words. and
Sergt. Pickett was so we'll satisfied with
the result that he Withdrew the heavy do
tail of patrolmen which has been IN guard
at the stables. He also relieved the men
who had been stationed to prevent dis
turhnnce ut the dumps.
The terms OH which the strike was
ended were the employment of 1l2
sweeping machines and water carts three
nights each week. or fifty. six machines
md carts every night.
The first proposition was accepted. AZ
II furnished some employment for all of
the men. and If the weeks work is
properly distributed among them many
will be able to find other work for their
of days nnd thus add to their daily
earnings.
That it was quite time for the strike to
end was manifest from the positively
tilthu condition ,f tho ,,aynptnnta an nyar
the city and the o~yertiowing ash and
garbage barrels teeming with disease.
breeding corruption which lined the side.
walks in many of the poorer districts of
the city.
On Wednesday week 2.GO5 loads of
ashes aud garbage and l. 2l9 loads of dirt
were removed by Department and hired
carts,
Last Wednesday. with only the hired
carts mt work, only about half that
amount was removed. Yesterday this
amount was still further reduced.
To-day's heavy rainfall came MS II great
boon to the public in that il removed in
great measure the presidential deposits of
filth which Commissioned Beattie's men
nave allowed to accumulate.
During the entire strike Commissioners
Beattie has kept we'll in the background,
and his continued absence FROM his office
led to the runior that he had run away or
WAS on strike too.
The Mayor, even. who was considerably
worked up over the strike. is said to have
been unable TO find him after diligent
search.
His private secretary. Miss Westover.
however. said this morning that he was
at the offices OF the Department until $50

the late Seymour l.. Hustled, who was the
pioneer stage and street-car manager OF
Brooklyn. When tho latter died he left "A
fortune estimated Mt several millions.
which he divided between his two sons
aud two daughters.
Col. Husted's summer home at Broad
alhin was one OF the handsomest resi-
dences in the State. Shortly before tho
tragedy yesterday afternoon the Colonel
came out of the house and walked to n
hammock a short distance away and
picked up a double barrelled shotgun,
which he intended to use on a hunting
expedition with his brother-iu-law. Law

He walked towards the barn aud. meet

gun needed cleaning, but that he wished

He walked into the barn and slammed
the door nfter hun,
A moment later n loud report startled
those in the house aud around the
grounds, and they hnstened to the barn.

confronted them. Col. Hustod Wa lying

The charge had passed through the
heart. The gun was aill smoking aud
