Boys See The Point.
They Make Big Money. Make
1t Easy. No Capital Invest
ed. How They Do 1t.

There are several thousand boys and
hundreds of men engaged in St Louis in
a business which brings weekly profit Of
from 50, 900 to $4,000. It's the selling of
daily papers. Hundreds of families live
comfortably on the profits of the sale of
daily newspapers.
In St. Louis the favorte newspaper with
the boys is the POST-DISPATCH, be-
cause i. sells best. An investigation has
shown that the boys sell more copies of
the daily POST-DISPATCH than the
combined sales of the two other English
evening papers.
One of the pleasures they bos find in sell
ling papers is they are their 'own boss
They come and go when they please
While many have regular corners and
newstands, others merely walk the streets
each having his own peculiar way Of
@'crying" out his papers.
The situation is quite different on Sun
day. The papers are printed in the morn
ing and by six o'clock the boys and men
are out in search of buyers.
There are four English Sunday papers
Many boys take out 800 papers. A boy
taking from two to three hundred papers
has all he can do to get over the ground.
Sundays as on week days finds the
POST-DISPATCH everywhere. It's a
ready seller. It's the "most for the mon
ey." The Sunday POST-DISPATCH has

through, which the Democrats car
ried off the best Of the county
offices. The friction which has
developed between the Democratic
wing of our local government and
the Republican county court is the
natural result of mixed politics.
The Democrats, not satisfied with
the gift of half the Offices at the
hands of the Republican voters, are
now ovcrstepping the limits of the
neutrality upon which they were
elected and seek to dominate over
the Republican officials and to die
tate the course of the latter i'll a
way that will bring them into dis
favor with their own party, Great
ing a dissension and disorganiza-
ton among Republicans which will
overturn that party's majority in
the county and give the Democracy
complete control. This policy of
the Democrats is clearly outlined
in their medlling in the affairs Of
the county court. They have en-
deavorcd to dictate in the matter of
county printing, the appointment
of road ovcrseers, County Institute
Board, janitor, and what not.
In the last campaign the Demo-
Gratis asked the Republicans not to
be partisan in county politics and
begged and plead for their votes.
Now the Democrats in office are
using all the power Of their posi-
ton against the Republican organ
ton for its overthrow in 1900.

INDUSTRIAL reorganization on
business principles, with capitali-
zation based upon actual value of
earning capacity, and not upon the
speculative value of shares, is the
species of ''trusts'' we defend, not
the wild stock imitation schemes of
the company promoter. The Re-
publican party will be found as
strongly opposed to the latter as
the Democratic party pretends to
be; the growth of the former can
not be restricted by political action
since they are the result of a natural
enonomic law. Therefore, instead
trying to rcvolve the wheels of in
dustrial progress backward the
Republicans will keep them mov-
ing forward, and are, at the same
time, ready to eradicate any evil
excrescencesw which will keep spring
ing up in the path of our advance
ment.

THE Missouri legislature with
its big Democratic majority put a
ludicrous feature on the party's
war upon the trusts in the closing
days of the session. Ft was dem
onstratcd that the Democratic leg
islators were not standing in battle

Louis, which is termed the ''head
and shoulders" of the party, not
withstanding the fact that the policy
the legislature was to pursue, as
dictated by the club, had been
distinctly outlined by the Demo-
cratic papers. Last Thursday the
House by a vote of 81 to 80 passed
the street railway consolidation bill,
it having already passed the Senate.
This measure is intended to give
street railways the power of con-
solidating under the management

words, they may form railway
trust. The passage Of the bill threw
the ''head and shoulders" of the
Missouri Democracy into connip-
ton fit, and it at once telcgraphed
Gov. Stephens to veto it. With
its antitrust dinner almost on the
table and the legislature passing
a bill authorizing the formation
of trust, the Jefferson Club is
in an amusing situation, to onAook.
ers. The Democratic papers, how
ever, are trying to set the party
straight by charging the passage
of the bill to the corrupt influence
of the lobby. Yet in the lobby

the Democratic party of Missouri

trusts or else it is too corrupt fol

prosperlty's High Tide.

1t is hard to keep track Of the
advances in wages which are taking
place these days. The reason it is is
because almost every day dispatches
in the papers show advances in
some part of the country or other.
For example, a dispatch from Phil
adelphia has just come which says
that the Bcrwine- White Coal Min
ing Company, which is one of the
largest producers Of bituminous
coal in the world, has raised the
wages of its 10000 employees. The
same date which sees this advance
chronicles another wage rise in an
adjoining state by which 5000 iron
workers in Wheeling, w. Va, are
affected.
These advances attract very lit
tie attention because they have be-
come common. They have ceased
to possess any novelty for the pub
lie. The country is so accustomed
to associate prosperity with Re-
publican sway that these rises in
wages in the different fields of Ia
Dor and in the different states are
received as a matter of course,
which nobody is required to feel
surprised about. They have been
underway for several months. They
will continue until every wage
workers pay is up to the highest
mark ever previously touched.
Nearly all of them are up to this
mark already, and many of them
have passed above it.
1t is estimated by the weekly
trade papers that 100000 mer
have had their wages advanced
within the past six or eight months.
This represents an increased outlay
for wages in the country at large
which will amount to many hun
drcds of millions of dollars a year
Here is an evidence of prosperi-
Ity which appeals to everybody
When wages are going up nobody
can deny that good times are here

night about dusk. A lot of men belong
ing to the Minneapolis & St. Louis grad
: ing crewswere In: town.: One Of them
stepped up to Mrs. Charles Henderson
as she passed down the street and offered
an insulting proposition. She turned and
slapped his face. At this he struck her
with his fist, knocking her down. Not
satisfied with this, the drunken wretch.
began kicking her, but stopped by
bystanders. AS soon as Mrs. Henderson
could free herself, she ran to her hus-
bands barber shop and told. him what
had occurred. Thoroughly enraged, he
grabbed a big stick and made for the
street, where Mrs Henderson pointed out
to him her assailant, who was then rid
ing up the street in a buggy. Henderson
is powerful fellow and he belabored
the fellow until the blood streamed from;
the wounds about his head. Henderson
was finally pulled off by a brakeman in
the crowd. - -.

has always been one Of Unger's chief

Another feat Miss Dunphy does with
the same bell is in connection with the
Roman chair This chair has strap

feet, then she leans over the back until
her head rests on the floor, reaches over
her head for the bar and rises With It
to standing position on the seat of the
chair. with the bell high over her head,
then descends in the same manner and
lays it on the floor above her head again.
These feats require enormous strength,
