tion OF all labor organizations In the city.
Not only are merchants punished for rid
against selling goods to people who DO
ride under threat Of boycott by the union
men.
The boycott is most severe on the small
dealers who do business on streets that
are populated largely by union men and
their sympathlzers a number OF these
merchants have published advertisements
today. offering rewards ranging from s25
to $500 for reliable evidence that they or
any OF their clerks or relatives have rid
den on the cars since the strike began,
and a number OF communications have
been sent 10 the papers by physicians,
grocers, butchers and others. protesting
their innocence OF the charge Of having
patronized the railroad company AS yet
the big retail merchants have not felt
the effects OF the boycott severely, though

quested 70 forbid their clerks 10 ride on

Jester's Pension papers Fonnd

81 Louis, July 29.-hlx-Coyeruor Charles
Z. Johnson received a letter yesterday
from Prosecuting Attorney 7 t. Rodes
OF Monroe county, Missouri, relative %
the prosecution OF Alexander Jester for
the murder Of Gilbert Gates. This let
ter stated that Mr. Rodes Is In possessien
OF tho application made by Jester for a
pension under the general disability aGe
OF congress. In these papers he gives hts
namo as Alexander Jester. ana states that
he was member OF Company @. Thirty
sixth Indiana volunteers. He enlisted ia
1861 and served until the close of The
war His army record Is good and he
was granted a pension OF ti2 a month
This Is regarded by the prosecution as
conslusiye evidence that the Reyel end
William A. I'm and Alexander Jester are
me same. Otherwise IL Is hard TO un.
derstand how the old man la lail al Mexl-
co, and who says his name Ia william
A. HIN, could have had the pension pap
| ers Of Alexander Jester Ia his possession
ana have drawn his pension.
In this connection Il may not be out OF
place 10 repeat a part OF what Jester
| said In regard to his name aud pension
papers, II was 20 the enec, that his fath-
er's name was Hili, and that the lsttee
died Few weeks before he was born.
| subsequently his mother married man
named Jester, and as no grew up hs was
known as Jester He says he enlis,ed
in the army under that name and ala
not assume his real name until some limo
after the close OF the war. Having en-
listed under the name of Jester, he found
Il necessary to apply Tor pension under
that name
All this Is regarded as being reason
able enough, but It does not Ia the east

indicted ia Monroe county for tho muir

might be made here and as usual
fail. 1t is a fact that more people
have seen this play in America
than have ever seen any other play.
OF course, as basis of why, it
might be said that more people
have read the book upon which it
is founded than ever read any 9th
er book, the Bible excepted; but
this explanation does not eX-
plain why hundreds of people in
every community go to see this
play as often as opportunity pre-
sents itself. Other plays have as
much pathos, as much tenderness,
more comedy, better tragedy. 1t
may be that the key is found in
this, that none deal so much with

NATIONAL HOTEL
Will Be Under New Management
After October l.

Harlan G. Turner has sold the
National Hotel property to Frank
Hudson, who for several years has
begaged in business in this city.
The sale was private and we are un-
able to secure the exact figures, but
understand it was somewhere near
$4,000. Mr.. Turner will visit a
number of Western States and will
probably locate somewhere in that
country. Mr.. Turner has been the
manager of this popular house for
many years, and his friends regret
to see him leave. Mr.. Hudson is a
young man of push and Gwill no
doubt make great success in this
undertaking. The sale goes into
effect on October 1, when the new
management will take charge. Mr..
Hudson will make some improve
ments.
