read the other day that the citl'
zens of western town had made Jay
Gould present of lot, and he was
to put winter residence on it, and
spend part of every year there. The
story may be true, or it may be only an
idle tale, but it is at least correct IN one
sense of the word-that the thriving
and thrifty western town or any other
town would be only too glad to make
the money king present Of all the
lots he might chance to want. 1t is
mere, cold blooded business transac-,
tion. with not even the semblance of
friendliness or courtesy about it. The
deal is made on the principal of 80
much money for SO much advertising.
1t places the town in a fine light be-
tfore the world, that 1t is the winter re-
sort of such man, and moreover he
scatters money freely during his stay;
therefore let US give him the lots and
perhaps that will induce him to re-

The life she had led! Was not it's
pathetic story told in that poor old
dress, in the hardly-used hands, in
the wrinkled face? Something be-
sides time had dimmed the eyes;
something more than the weight of
years had whitehead the hair above
her temples. A hard, poor life it had
been at best, but there had been sor-
row in it, worse than hardness or
poverty.

THE TRUST VICTORIOUS.
Independent DistiIleries Bought
by the Whisky Octupus.

Fl
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 16.-The war between
the whisky trust, known as the Distiil-
ing and Cattle Feeding Company of lii
nois, with headquarters at Peoria, and
a few independent distilleries, is now
at All end. and the trust is victor
ious. The only ST. Louis concern which
has held out against the trust has been
the Central Disabling company. Of the
outside firms that have remained indie
pendent, the Dodson Distilling COM
pany. Cinclnnati; the Star Distilling
company. Pekin, ILL.,, and the Crescent
Disabling company, Pekin, ILL.,, have
been the most active opponents of the
trust. These, with the cooperation of
the Central company, of the city, have
successfully fought the trust until the
present time.
According to information obtained
from Que Of the gentlemen who en-
gineered the deal, these four companies
have been absorbed by the trust, and
within two days the trust will be able
to absolutely control the price of whisky
and highwineS at its own pleasure. 1t
is understood the trust pays $1,500.000.

for the four distilleries. OF this amount
$4,000 is for the st. Louis concern.
1t was reported that the Nebraska
DiStillery company, of Nebraska City,
has also been purchased. 4. S. Teuscher,
president of the Central distillery, says
the consideration comes up to more than
$780, 900 the amount previously men
toned. Teuscher denies that he has
sold out to the trust, but declines to
name the purchaser OF his residence.

WASHINGTON Nov. 16.-Supt. Rob
ert p Porter. of the census bureau, this
morning discharged Ivan Petrotf, the
special agent who had prepared the
reports of Alaska for the tenth and
eleventh censuses. In his letter to the
secretary of the interior Mr.. Porter
saws:
a.Having acquainted myself with all
the facts in relation to this matter, re-
greet to say that there are no extenuat-
ing circumstances, and therefore ask
your approval of my action"
Mr.. Porter further said that a COM
pleted history of Petroff's action in re-
gard to the transaction precludes the
supposition he had entertained before
making full investigation that Petroff
was suffering from mental depression
or insanity. Prof. Burgett. Of the CEN
sus Office. has been placed in charge of
the Alaska work, and will, after care
fully verifying it in every respect. sub
NIT his report for publication. Secre-
tary Noble this afternoon approved
Supt. Porter's action.
In regard to the alleged charges
against Howard Sutherland, Supt. Por-
ter says he has heard nothing save
newspaper rumor He pronounced the
alleged confession of Sutherland as
most likely fake" and believes that
the whole story had been greatly exag-
gerated.

For some ineXplicable reason it is the
policy of the alleged reform admlnistra-

possible. 1t is fair to estimate that only
10 per cent of the cases manipulated by
garroters and sand-baggerS ever get into
print nowadays. When Mayor Wright
assumed the responsibilities of chief ex-
ecutive he had fancy that he should
reconstruct the police department. He
had an idea that it would prove an adj
mirable thing for the Republican party

place all Republicans on the pay roll in
lieu of old veterans, and to make the
point plain, 1T is only necessary to ex-

garroters of the country that
a green police force had assumed con-
troll in St. Paul. On come the horde and
scarcely day passes that some citizen
is not boldly robbed in the streets. But
these occurrences are suppressed in
every instance, and they only find their
way into print through complaints made
by citizens who have been victimiZed by
the vampires that throng the city. The
old detective force that served under
Mayor Smith held the robbing and sand
bagging element in such restraint that
a highway robbery was scarcely yearly

renee, and the only safeguard a citizen
has is to 70 armed after dark.

knocked down and robbed by four high
