The Barth brothers left Saturday on

This represents one of the largest del
e~gations of buyers of clothing n
furnishing goods from Missouri. The
Barths are among the leaders in their
line of trade, wherever they are locat-
ed, which, in a measure, is due to
their square and liberal dealing and
giving their patrons the benefit of the
reduction in prices of goods, which
only large buyers like them can OBJ
tain. Joe Barth will be absent several
weeks and upon his return, their store
here will be replete with all the latest
novelties in clothing and furnishing

MONTGOMERY CITY, Mo-, March s.
Mr.. G. Pitman Smith of Montgomery,
who expected to be a candidate for
the Democratic nomination for Con-
press in this, the Ninth district. at
tended the meeting of the Congress
ional Committee at st. Charles yes
terday, where he announced his with
drawal fromthe ace after the plan for
nomination was fixed on. On being
asked his reason for withdrawing, he
said:
ssI'm the sad victim of the Commit
tees action. The Committee was not
hostile to me in any sense, however.
Some of them came to me afterward
and said their only regret was or my
account"
"How do you explain the Commit
tees action?"
SIT was precipitated by the action
of Audrain county, followed by the &C
ton of st. Charles. 1t was generally
believed that Mr.. Cooks friends in
tended to take the same action in
Warren, Lincoln and Crawford, hence
the Congressional Committee was call
ed together and Mr.. Clark's friends
we're as deaf to %entreaties to hold off
and wait a reasonable time as were
Mr.. Cooks friends a couple of weeks
ago. It's a case of the last laugh be-
ing the best"
"Could nothing be done?"
ayes, 1 presented a plan that would
have put things back where they were
and have given us until next summer
to canvass the district, but it was not
agreed to, and so the fight went on"
"Had the money question anything
to do with your withdrawal"
"Nothing whatever. There were
both Sound money and silver men in
the Committee. 1t was simply a COM
bination of the fight between the two
candidates who met in Audrain coun-
ty some time ago, with the other fell
low on top this time"
"Who will be nominated?"
"My relations with both Mr.. CLARK
and Mr.. Cook are cordial, so don't ask
me. MI. Cook stated yesterday that
he would not be in the fight, but he did
not say he had withdrawn"
"Would you agree on any terms to
re-enter the racer"
81 don't think any terms 1 would
consent to could be agreed upon. II
the date could be postponed until
after the National Convention l would
enter the race with either candidate:
but as the three big Democratic coun-
ties of Pike, Audrain and Rails vii
practically settle the question, il
would be useless for me to contest
without time to anvas the district

THE DIVINE HEALER" FAILED.
Schrader's Futile Efforts at Chicago
to Cure the Afflicted.

CHICAGO, March 3.-"Healer''
Schrader and retinue were brought to
Chicago yesterday by Meyer Samson
to cure his 15-year-old brother An
drew. For six months young Samson
has been completely ~paralyzed. The
doctors could do him little good, and
Mrs. Samson had decided to try the
efficacy Of prayer and the laying on
of hands by Schrader. After the
treatment the patient claimed to feel
stronger, but the hope of his friends,
that he would arise and walk, was not
realized. Schrader assured them,
however, that within eve days
young Andrew would be we'll and
they tried 10 believe him. Two
others from all the throng of afflicted
who called upon HIM did Schrader
treat, with the same lack of perfect
result and with the same promises OF
cure. Then he fed from the credu-
lous who sought his aid and, stunning
publicity, departed for Alton.
AT ALTON.
ALTON, H., March 3~.-Schrader,
the divine healer, arrived in Alton
from Chicago this morning. He had
gone to Chicago on an urgent mission
to cure a paralytic, but did not get to
treat the patient. He lost no time
to-day in getting to business. Quar-
tiers were secured at the Globe Hotel,
and all morning long a throng be-
| seiged the hotel entrance. One man
who Was brought in a buggy was I'M
| able to go into the hotel, and Schrad-
| err treated him in the street. In con-
sequence. a palsied hand became
steady and the erstwhile helpless man
drove the horse upon departing.
Rooms were donated the healer at
304 State street. Mayor Brueggeman
detailed sufficient policemen to keep
order, and this afternoon Schrader
began treating the lame and blind. In
front of the building were several
hundred people. There were all
kinds and conditions of men. Moth
ers and fathers carrying babes were
to be seen jostling in the crowd
awaiting a chance to interview the
healer. A muggy atmosphere and
snow flurries were calculated to place
these babies in need of a healer OF
some kind, but the people braved the
elements and awaited their turns.
One little boy hobbled up with thu
aid of crutches. During his twelve
years of life he has eve walked
When he left the healer he walked
half block, but had to give up and use
his crutches. The healer feels SUR
he will effect a cure with this boy,an
also several other critical cases o
rheumatism. Another cure was tina
of a paralyzed boy from Fosterburg
who was restored to a normal condi
ton. The most remarkable cure wa
that of a negro employed at Godfrey
who for years has suffered so badl
that his %utterances were almost unin
d telligible. After an interview wit
e schrader he mounted a box and mad
r a speech to the crowd.
! The healer will be here until Satul
o day, and already the railroads al
