FOUND IN THE RIVER.

The Body of Fred Moser, Of Caseyville,
Ill, Found In the Mississippi with Indica-
lions Pointing to Murder.
ST. LOUIS, Sept. THE body of Fred
Moser, wagonmaker of Caseyville,
was taken from the river near the Il1i-
nois shore opposite Chouteau avenue
this forenoon. It had the appearance
of having been in the water several
days. and indications pointed
to probable case of rob-
named Theodore Kane, who dis
covered the body, reported to the
police and notification was sent to
Benner's morgue. A wagon was sent
TO the place, and when the body was
taken from the water the discovery
was made that piece of rope was
wrapped tightly around the waist.
The rope was securely knotted, and a
short piece, at the end of which was
coop, depended. 1t looked as if the body
had been thrown into the water
with stone or other heavy object Sc
cured in the loop. The body was re-
moved to Benner's morgue. and a brief
. examination was made there, but no
marks of violence were found. A por-
sion of bill-head bearing the name
and address, Erred Moser, Caseyville,"
was found in the clothing. A tele-
phone message to Caseyville elected the
information that Fred Moser, the wag-
onmalzer. had been missing since Mon
day morning.
Jacob Moser, son of the deceased,

THE AMERICAN BEAUTY.

Origin Of Handsome and Popular Rose.
There is an interesting story about
the American beauty. It was first
grown in Washington, and here it at
tanned it's renown. The late Hon.
George Bancroft, besides being a
historian and scholar, was one of the
first amateur rose-growers in America.
Every year he imported cuttings from
the leading f1ower-growers of Europe.
The king of Prussia-when old Kaiser
was king-allowed the American histo-
rian to have slip of whatever he
might fancy in the royal conserva-
tories. Mr.. Bancroft's gardener used
to cultivate some of his roses in an old
house away out on F, or perhaps it
was G street, above Twenty-second
street, in the west end of the city.
Mrs. Grant had a florist named Field in
charge of the White House conserva-
tory. He was a rose-grower of rare
merit and skill in his artistic
work. One day he happened into
the old building where Mr.. Ban
croft's gardener potted his plants and
budded his roses. Over in corner he
observed rose of variety utterly un-
and perfection in form and color.
''Where did this come from?" he care
lessly inquired of his rose growing con-
frere. ''Oh, it is an offshoot from some
cuttings we imported from Germany
the man replied. 1t was evident to
Mr.. Field that the other did not in the
least comprehend the value of the new
plant. After some talk Mr.. Field
bought the cuttings he had seen for
five dollars. A year thereafter, when
he had propagated his new purchase,
and become convinced that he had
new and very valuable variety of rose,
which he named the American Beauty.
he sold his find for five thousand dol
lars, the most wonderful result of the
investment of five dollars on record.
To follow his luck little further, Mr..
Field invested his easily-earned five
thousand dollars in lands near the city,
which in little less than three years
were sold for fifty thousand dollars
Truth is sometimes stranger than fic-
ton In this instance it certainly was.

PRIDE OF ST. LOUIS.

The Only Successful Permanent Exposi.
tion In the Country Begins Its Eleventh
Annual Season Under the Most Favorable
Auspices-Over Twenty Thousand People
In Attendance the Opening Night-Sousa
and His Great Band Are There.
ST.. Louis. Sept. THE eleventh
annual opening of the St. Louis EXPOSE
ton occurred Wednesday evening un-
der the most fattering auspices, the
attendance being greater than on any
opening night in the history of the en-
terprise. Fully 10000 people occupied
the halls and naves or squeezed into
the grand music hall, where the OPEN
ing exercises were to take place.
President T. B. Boyd opened the sea-
son in the following words: 1--WE cele-
Srate tonight the opening of our
eleventh annual exposition. Its con-
tnued success the past ten years has
been mystery to our sister cities and
mas won their envious admira-
ton And as the people never tire
of being enlightened in the arts
and mechanics, never tire of list
Aening to Gods inspiring music,
never tire of innocent amusement, and
as they can see and enjoy more in this
exposition for less money than in any
other institution in this country, there
Is no reason why it should not con-
tinue to prosper for many years, not
withstanding there are people in st.
Louis who have had their mourning
ready to attend its funeral ever since
its birth"
Mayor Walbridge made a happy adj
dress on the social side of st. Louis, in
- L Il. -
people is witness that st. Louis has
homes and hearthstones and fathers
and mothers and firesides, and that
the heart side of our community is
quite as well developed as the bust
ness side. Here sits capitalist, and
by his side a wageworker; here
sits a domestic, and by her side
a housewife; here is an artisan,
and next him an artist; here is priest.
and by his side parson; here stands
Judge, and next him janitOr: here sits
q daughter of fashion, and next her a
daughter of industry, whose skillful
hands shaped the ornaments that adorn
her more-favored sister; and If these
could speak with one voice, they would
say the heart side of st. Louis is in COM
znand here tonight"
The appearance of John Phillip Sousa
at the head of his incompatible band
was the occasion for an ovation OF
which the great leader, who has so
worthily taken the place of the lament
ed Gilmore, must have felt very proud,
and the first concert of the season,
which was given Immediately at the
close of the opening exercises was re-
rf.eived with an amount of enthusiasm
that indicated the warm place the band
has secured in the hearts of music-lov-
ing st. Louisans.
The exhibits in the exposition are in
excellent shape, one of the principal
attractions being the Missouri state ex-
hibit from the Worlds fair, where it
carried away a long list of premiums.
The exposition will be open for forty
days, and if the suspicious opening is
any index the season should prove one
of the most prosperous in an unbroken
series of prosperous years.

BUSINESS SENSE.

Industrial improvement Resulting from
Democratic Legislation.
In insisting upon free raw materials
as of the essence of tar if reform,
President Cleveland stands not only
for party honesty but for hard bust
ness sense. We are already beginning
to see that free wool is going to do for
wooden manufactures in this country
what free raw silk has done for the silk
manufactures and free hides for the
boot and shoe industry. The wooden
manufacturers are preparing for a bet
ter business than they have known in
years, and are already setting up ma
chinery for weaving grades of cloth
which never before could be made in
this country on account of the prohib-
tory duties on the wool necessary to
make them. At the same time, the
price of American wool is advancing
it has gone up something like thirty
per cent. within the past sixty days.
This is the simple business fact which
is too much for the arithmetic of those
who dwell in the shadow of Mckinley
and Tom Reed. The latter's Portland
organ does not deny that the price of
American wool is advancing. but asks
how that fact can be reconciled with
the law Of demand and supply. Bless
the innocent hearts of these theorists.
don't they know that American wool
has not been treated all these years as
part of the supply" at all? It has
been regarded as a sort of national
fetish, to be baled up tenderly, and
spoken of only with a patriotic culver
in the voice, and kept from defling
contact with foreign wool, but as a
component part OF a manufactured
product it has not been considered at
all But at last the wooden manufac-
turers have tariff which is actually
going to enable them to make wooden
goods, and the demand for raw mate
rial at once springs up and the price
of W DOL advances all over the world.
The Ohio wool-growers are likely to
put uglier questions than ever to Nc
Kinley this fall. 1t will take all the
resources of his giant intellect to ex-
plain to them how it is that, while his
increased duties knocked down the
price of wool, free wool instantly
means money in their pockets--N. Y.
