The laclede Deserted BY the
Colonies Who Have All
Gone to Jefferson
City.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 6.
EDITOR BAzOO:
| Nearly all our active politicians and
especially those who think the coun
try cannot get along without them,
have gone up to Jefferson City to help
reOrganize the legislature, attend the
Inauguration of Gov. Stone and look
after matters Of public policy and
private interest.
The Laclede Hotel rOtunda is like
a caucus room deserted, the colonies
and majors have betaken themselves
to the winter headquarters Of politics,
poker, poor whisky and pneumonia,
and St. Louis is having a respite from
Munchausen, political and war yarns.
1t may be a little hard On the pro-
prietor of the Laclede Bar. but he
says he is saving money. There'll be
a big delegation OF headlights go up
tomorrow and Sunday nights.
Talking about Jefferson City: l
laughed some when | saw that our
friend Doc. Graham respectfully
declined to be made temporary
Sergeant-at-armS of the senate for the
special purpose of bouncing the repub-
lican intruder from Linn Co. Doc"
is never backward in coming forward
when the
PARTY NEEDS HIS SERVICES,
but he knows when, where and how
to draw the line.
The beer brewers OfSt. Louis are in
ferment and the beer guzzlers in Il
Gambrinus paradise. War to the knife
and the knife to the hilt has been
opened between the st. Louis Brewing
Association (the English syndicate
gang and the brewers outside of the
trust. There are seven of the latter,
besides the gigantic plants of the An
heuser Busch concern and the w. J.
Lemp Brewing Co.
The war has been brought about by
the foreign monopolists who are de-
termined to crush out all competition.
and control the entire enorm rus beer
trade of st. Louis. Without the sup
port of Busch and Lemp, which they
cannot get, this is impos-iable, and
even with that to help them, very i'm
probable, The fight will be a bitter
one and the saloon men and their Gus
temers are in ectstacies at the out
look. Some saloons with big "growl-
er" custom have signs up. "beer Zoe
a gallon" and all the barrel houses are
selling ''zwei glass fur fiimf cent"
and
A}LUNCH THROWN IN.
Thunder, what police docket, there
will be on Monday morning!
Another brewer divorce case is on
the taps. Anton Griesedick is suing
tor a separation from his wife, Ger
trude. Anton says Mrs. Griesedick
has an ungovernable temper and calls
him names. As they have been married
since 1868, it seems to me it took him
a good while to get his dutch up"
The telegraph has told you about
the troubles of H. H. Morgan and
wife and the shooting of w. l.. Bar
ret, his brother-in-law, by Morgan.
Mrs. Morgan is seeking to regain pos
session of the child, spirited away
by Morgan and has applied for d.
vorce. Morgan will fight both cases,
and if what the newspapers say be
true will take the unmanly method of
trying to besmirch
HIS wIFE's CHARACTER.
Barrett. whom he shot while un-
armed and almost on his own doorstep,
will hardly recover from the wound.
There are no new developments in
The FOerstel matter, except that Gus. !
Metchon. Foerstels assignee declares
that the assignment was made for the |
benefit Of the creditors of Foerstel, |

chances with the rest. City Counsellor |
Marshall saws that won't do and pro-
