LOUIS HOUCK WINS.
The Supreme Court De-
CiedS in His Favor.
The Big Lawsuit at Last Ended and
Louis Houck still Holds Poses
sion of the st. Louis, Cape
Giaardeau d Fort
smith Railroad.

The Supreme Court of Missou-
ri. has rendered a just decision. 1t has
redeemed itself from the odium cast
upon 1t by some of the people of
the great State of MissOuri-tO wit:
That it belonged body and soul to the
big railroad corporations. 1t has de-
cided that George Gould-big as he is
cannot legally, in the grand old State
of Missouri swallow up one of our
citizens.
The people will rejoice to know
that the Supreme Court of
Missouri decided against a mon
ster corporation like the Missouri Pa
cific Railroad Company and that too
in favor of a little man and a little
railroad company in Southeast Mis-
souri,. Twice before this same court
has decided this same case in favor of
the Missouri Pacific. When the Mis-
souri, Pacific people got the second
decision in their favor they sent Eli
Klotz down here to take charge of the
road. Mr.. Klotz called on Louis
HOuck and in thename ofthe Missouri
Pacific and by authority of the Su-
preme Court of Missouri. demanded
possession of the st. Louis, Cape Gil
rardeau & Fort Smith Railroad. Mr..
Houck did not turn over the property.
With due respect to the highest court
in the State he respectfully declined
to turn his property over to the big
corporation. For this disobedience
he was cited to appear before the Su-
preme Court for contempt. Now the
court has decided that Mr.. Houck was
not in contempt, and retains possession
of his railroad.
This decision is not only victory
for Louis HOuck 1t is a victory for
Southeast Missouri. 1t is victory
for justice over injustice. 1t is vic
tory for man who has the courage
to fight for his rights and who has the
brains to back his courage. 1t is IA
victory for the city of Cape Girardeau.

is here to look over the ground and
make plans for a big hotel building
to take the place of the st. Charles.
Mrs. Painter, the owner of the st.

remodeling the old building. After
due consideration she has concluded
to tear the old building down and
build a big modern hotel.
Some time ago Mr.. Legg made the
plans for remodeling the St. Charles

From Mr.. Legg's estimate it was
found that it would cost nearly as
much money to remodel the old build.

build, so Mrs. Painter sent for the
architect to return to the city and make
plans for a new building.

1T is UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
Law Prohibiting Discharge of En-
PlOyes for Belonging to Labor
Unions.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, June IS
Judge Sherwood filed an opinion in
the Supreme Court this morning in
which law forbiding Superintendents,
officers. etc, of corporations from
discharging employees for refusal to
sever their connection with labor
organizations is held to be unconsti-
tutional and entirely void as statute
of the State. This law was enacted
two years ago, and provides penalties
ranging from a fine of $50 to $1,000,
and six months Imprisonment.
George Julian was a foreman or
Superintendent of the Hamilton Brown
Shoe Co., of st. Louis, and he dis
charged II. c. Simmonds because the
latter would not sever his connection
with the Lasters' Association of Amer
lea. He was fined $50. The court
holds that this law is class legisla-
ton. \ nOn-Union man could be dis
charged without notice. and the law
would not interfere. while a Union
man could not be discharged if his
was based upon his con-
nectiOn with a nniOn.

BENTON. Mo-, June l5.-Despite the
rainy weather it was a representative
gathering of melon men that met at
Morley in conyention this afternoon.
The st. Louis commission men were
condemened for their action in nplacing
a second inspector in st. Louis, thus
discrediting the inspector appointed
by the State. Their effort to monop-
ollie the st. Louis trade by barring
the sale of melons in the railroad
yards was also denounced. and there
is a possibility of each shipping sta
tiOn sending its own commission man
to St. Louis to handle the melons
shipped there for sale and doing no
business with St Louis commission
men at all. y committee was also ap-
pointed to confer with the railroads
so as to secure peddling privileges
and permission to ship without pre-
paying freight.

wanted those places for good Republi-

and learned that Mr.. Roosevelt. with
the consent of the board, had trans

Tempered in Living Flesh.

1t has been long believed that some
if not all high-grade ancient tools of
steel were tempered in human blood.
and recent discovery in a ruin of
Syria substantiates the belief. In the
remains of an armorer's smithy was
found a parchment. written in Syriac
characters. giving directions for max
ing the famous Damascus blades. =
The recipe reads as following:
Let the workman be furnished with
IA slave of frame. and let the Ethi-
opian be bound, shoulders upward. up
on the block. with mis- arms fastened
underneath with thongs. His
head and neck projecting over and
beyond the edge of the block then let
the master workman cold-hammer the
blade to thin. smooth edge. Next
let il be thrushed in fire of cedar
wood Goals until the color of the blade
be red like the rising sun. then with a
quick motion, let him pass the blade
six times from the hilt to the point
thereof through the most ileshy por-
tions of the slaves back and thighs.
or a sufficient number of times to cool
it until the color is purple. Then with
one stroke it will sever the neck of the
slave and not receive a nick, whereup-
on it may be cooled in blood flowing
from his body" Could high art be

The West End BARRIERS have hit up
on scheme TO shave their patrons on
Sunday, despite the Sunday-closing
law, which becomes operative next
Sunday. The law goes into effect
Sunday, and Sunday the shops will
have to close. The BARRIERS in the
residence portions have listed their
Sunday patrons, and to accommodate
them will have tonsorial artists visit
their homes on Sundays, supplied
with the paraphernalia needed in the
hair-cutting and shaving profession.
The advance over the regular prices
will be small, and the persons getting
shaved is spared the trouble of going
to the shop. West End BARRIERS claim
that the law was passed in the interest
of the downtown shops to coerce peo-
pie into getting shaved Saturday be-
fore going to their homes. The bar
bers are confident that their plans of
getting around the shop-closing law
will prove a success.
