Thousands Visit the spot Where the Old
Hero Is Buried.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 23.-The grave Of Gen.

in circumference. Within these metes
paced solitary sentinel, charged with
the duty of preventing intrusive hands

privates, three non-cOmmissioned Of

be kept on duty is uncertain, but at least
until the grave is inclosed with masonry.

Gre., Consultations, Deb,ter.

DIR. Rider, the great constitutional
debater of the City Council big five"
was at tie polls Tuesday making a
great noise because the Judges of Elec-
ton refused to allow people to vote
who have not been residents ofthe city
twelve months. The Judges of Elcc-
ton gave DIR. Rider to understand
that they did not take much stock in
his constitutional knowledge. This
excited the doctor and he left the
polls in a hurry, but he remained
away only a short time. lie returned
and told the Judges of Election that
he had consulted a great constitutional
lawyer On that subject and that law
yer said the Judges must let every
body vote. The lawyer he consulted
is Il Presbyterian preacher who is here
assisting in a revival meeting now GO
ing on in the Presbyterian Church.

Making Good Lean Pork.

The desire for good lean pork in
stead of so much fat has put many
people TO considering how the supply
may be increased. One says to keep
the young pigs as long as possible in
pasture on grass and feed skim milk
and bran and no corn Feed them
plenty of vegetables and apples with
the bran. When the bodies Oh the
frames are grown, give them oatmeal
or rye, ground entire, mixed with bran,
putting twice as much bran a rye.
Keep up the vegetable and apple diet
and allow them during this time, to
eat all the grass they will. A little
corn may be fed towards the end.
Pork made this way will have more
lean, and will be tender and juicy. In
this way there have been produced
hams rs per cent. lean. The fat is
something more than mere lard. 1t is
meat. with substance and grain of
meat. To get such pork is worth try
ing for, as i! is in demand.

A Attack.

The clique organs attack IN Mr..

have seer in print for a long time. hut
i: fully expresses the sentiment of the
two Or three fellows who are fighting
Mr.. IIouck and doing all they can to
%i:iurc him in his cfiurts to advance
the interests Of the city of Cape Cir

IIouck Openly they employ n vaga-
bond who is not cGun:enanr2d by dc

People who know Louis Iiouck
know that he fakes less interest in the
city elections in this city :!lan Il
other man who OWNS property here.
We have never heard him express all
opinion rs 10 Il city election III al the
wears we have known him. and We
doubt if he could to-day call the names
of all the city officers. lie is not
dabbling in politics. lie is in the
railroad business-has all he can at
tend to in that business, and the men
who are slsndcring him and attempt
ing to pull him down to their level
are looking higher than they will ever
be able to climb. Louis llouck has
done more for the city of Cape Girar-
deau in the last ten years than these
three or four men who are his ira
ducers will " do were they f. live
here a thousand years. He has more
brains than a steamboat load of such

She Nay Haven bobby, hut Tod Bless
1lcr ANYWAY.

The coming woman, who and what
is she to be? So long has she been
heralded and so patiently invoked that
trying to reduce her to a personality
is like trying to substantiate a dream.
Is the coming woman to be reformer!
Is she to be shrill-tongued and muscu-
lar? Is she to be a believer in the
supremacy of faith over patient and
plodding works? Will she seek to
pray the skins off her potatoes rather
than use the means provided-a def
hand and a sharp knife: Will she be
aesthetic, lazy and lunatic? Or one of
the stOical kind who believes in grit
ting her teeth and taking life as it
comes? Will she be a perpetuation of
the frather-head type, as untitled for
the earnest uses of life as a butterfly
for a skirmish! Whoever and what
ever she may be, God bless her on her
way to take her place as the reprrsen-
tative woman of the age to come.
Better for those who are to be nodded
BY her if she be a hard worker and
thoroughly alive, even in a mistaken
cause, than if she be content to occupy
a pedestal and pose for adulation. We
have more respect, the most of us, for
the child who makes a big racket and
keeps things stirring than forthe child
who does nothing but sit quiet and
suck its thumbs. On earth we have
work to do, and howeverth the methods
of going about it may vary, the one
who sweeps away the largest number
of cobwebs and raises the greatest
amount of dust in a good cause will
receive a nobler reward than the sloth-
full soul who sits down in the midst of
the disorder and does nothing toward
tidying up things.

Mr.. Mouek Asked to Extend.

We clip the following from the
Globe Democrat of Tuesday:
West Plains, Mo-, Adril "a large
and enthusiastic meeting was held by
the citizens of this place tonight. The
object was to arouse public interest in
the extension of the Houck road.
Several speeches were made. and q
committee of representative business
men was appointed to 60 to Cape
Girardeau and confer with Mr.. IIouck
and find out, if possible, what he is
willing TO do in the matter and what
he expects the people to do.
If the West Plains delegation hap
pen to strike a crowd of the anti
IIouck element when they arrive in
this city they will return home dis
heartened. There are some men in
this city who would rather see the
city sink than see Mr.. Houck prosper
in the railroad business.

The result of the city election is a
warning to the City Council that 1t
will not do to attempt to legislate too
much. One year ago the city of the
third class proposition was submitted
to the voters and by them voted down.
and this year was again voted down
this time by a big majority. This Is
a rebuke to the Council that passed the
ordinance again submitting the propo-
sition to a vote of the people, and
should be a warning to them rot to
again try TO drive the people into
voting for a measure they do not ia
yor.

H CITY ELECTION.
A Large Vote PoIled N the Third
Glass Measure Badly Beaten.

The city election which took place
yesterday, will long be be remembered
as one of the most interesting and
holly contested elections in the history
of the city. The contest was not as
TO who should be elected to fill the
various offices. OF course the differ
ent candidates had their friends and
supporters who worked hard for their
choice, but the issue before the people
was whether or not the city should
abandon its present charter and adopt
the statute charter of a city of the
third class. The advocates of the city
of the third class worked early and
late and were lavish with their money.
but the people were not ready to give
up q charter under which they have
lived for years and adopt a charter
they know nothing about, and the re-
suit was the proposed new charter
was. voted down by a large majority.
Following is the vote polled in each
Of the four wards:

little interior city. Col. Pepper is a
dyed-in-the-wool Democrat and there

but he is a good average worldly man
in other words he is one of the
