Man and Hia fher-in.1a law

Much has been written about the
mother-in-law, nearly all Of it in com.
planning jest. In all Of the flippant
literature on this subject there is only
one point worthy Of consideration
that the writer's, almost invariably
men, have never tried to veil their in
sincerity. This is tribute from man.
even in his most playful moods, to the
substantial worth of his mother-in-law.

MILITIA HAS NOT
 BEEN CALLED OUT Governor Stephens Has Taken
 No Definite Action. POLICE MUST TRY AGAIN St. Louis Traction Company Will Try Experiment of Running More Cars
 on Its Divisions at Night
 Posse on Duty
POLICE MUST TRY AGAIN

St. Louis, June Ex-Governor Stephens re- turned to Jefferson City without calling out the state militia to maintain law and order in St. Louis during the prevalence of the great street railway strike The subject was discussed at great length today by Governor Stephens. the police commission CTS, sheriff and commanders of the militia, but decision was reached. The gov ernor advised that the transit company augment the running of it's cars at night and if this eXperiement resulted in disorder he would unhesitatingly call out the state militia for its suppression.
 Acting apparently upon this advice the transit company tonight further increased the transportation facilities by running cars on three more of it's divisions, the LaClede avenue, Market street and Olive street. The Lindell division, which resumed its night service two days ago, was also in operation tonight. The cars of all divisions had to be guarded by the police. Two regiments of the posse were also assigned to patrol duty along the same thoroughfares. Up to a late hour cars were running on regular schedule and no outbreaks had been reported.
 Thomas Reynolds Albert Nichols, Frank Worth, George Hill, Joseph Ettee and Will liam Francis all of whom are charged in federal warrants with conspiracy to ob- struct the United States mails, were ar raigned today and remanded to jail in de- fault of $2,000 bail each until Thursday.

FOR BENEFIT OF THE
 KiRKLEY>ADAMS FUND
Grand Spectacular Performance "The Naval Rattle of Santiago" Will be Re-
 peated Thursday Night.

On next Thursday night the grand spectacular the Battle of Santiago and fire works display will be repeated under the auspices of the Police Protective asso- citation for the benefit of the Kirllley- Adams monument fund. The perform lected, possibly Capitol Park, or some other location on the Northside, which will insure a large crowd.
 It is hoped that sufficient sum will be realized to purchase a suitable monument to mark the resting place of the brave off cers who lost their lives in the discharge of their duty on the fateful night of April 2 last, when they were shot by the cow ardly villains who have since been tried and convicted.
 The fund started by The Age-Herald has reached nearly S200, and will be turned over to the police department, which hopes, to realize enough from the Thursday night performance to justify it in beginning work.
 Chief Austin, Night Captain Weir and every member of the department, as well as the general public are deeply interested in the movement, and a large number of tickets, which will be placed on sale at 20 cents, will no doubt be disposed of.
 Mayor Drennen has given his consent to the use of Capitol park, subject to the ap- proval of the park committee, which will in all probability grant the request.

MIR. BURKHAL TER SAYS
 THAT HE WILL ACCEPT
Believes That He Is Eligible to Place on Board of Revenne After Consul
 tation With Attorneys.

George B. Burkhalter, who on Friday last was appointed to succeed P H. Earle as member of the board of revenue, and who is thought to be ineligible because of the fact that he was a member of the legisla- ture which created the office, has, after a consultation with his attorneys decided to accept the appointment
 The consensus of opinion among attor- neys is that MT. Burkhalter is ineligible to the office, and that in the event he quali- fled quo warranto proceedings could be in- stituted that would oust him from the of flee.
 MT. Burkhalter was seen yesterday, and gave out the following statement:
 T was surprised at the appointment and was out of town when it was made. In fact I had endorsed another man for the place. I have consulted my lawyers and we have studied the constitutional provis- ion and think that I am entirely eligible under the last clause. It reads:
 :" No senator or representative shall, dur ing the time for which he shall have been elected, be appointed to any civil office of profit under this state, which shall have been created or the emoluments thereof in- creased during such term except such ofhces as may be rlled by electlon py lne people,
 That last clause makes me legally eli gible, for this is an office to be filled by election by the people.
 "I think that the constitution intended to prevent mans creating an office for him. self, and only intended that. I did not try to create any office for myself and had no idea of ever filling seat at this board. Neither I nor any one else at that time or long afterwards thought of MT. Earle's resgning Therefore it is plain that I am morally eligible. No one would claim that l intended to benefit myself by voting for that bill last year. Then, the only ques- tion is my legal qualification. The excep- ton to the constitution, l am told by the best legal talent does make me legally eli- gble. Therefore I shall accept the office, and the future rests with other people"
The age-herald., 1900-06-10

which seemed to help me any until aclub associate advised me to try Peruna, as it cured her of constitutional headache and stomach troubles. l atonce ordered a bottle and before it was used, felt greatly improved.
 q have taken four bottles and for two months have been entirely free from these maladies. Several of my friends are using Peruna with beneficial results, especially in cases of troubles with the kidneys and other pelvic organs, to- gether with weaknesses peculiar to women."

THE BOERS SHOW
 MORE ACTIVITY
Cut Off Roberts Communication
 North of KroonStadt.
SITUATION RATHER SERIOUS
Whence the Large Body of Burghers Came-Flattering
 News Discounted

London, June 9.-London is somewhat disgusted at the highly disagreeable ac- tivity shown by the Boers in Orange river colony in cutting Lord Roberts telegraphic communication north of Kroonstadt. As yet there is no indication whence came the strong body of 1000 Boers that has ar- rived at Roodeval, unless it is the force mentioned in a recent Boer dispatch as having started from Standerton with this object in view.
 Apparently the authorities on the spot regard the situation at least temporar- fly serious as they are not only reinforcing the garrison at Kroonstadt but send ing up troops from the lines of communi- cation in Cape Colony. RoodeVal is a fair ly strong position 35 miles north of Kroon- stadt, capable of giving General Kelly Kenny trouble should the federas elect to dispute its possession as General Kelly Kenny connot be overburdened with cav airy, with which to threaten the burgher line to retreat a,
 The news somewhat discounts the fatter- ing deductions the Britishers have been ex- tracting from Lord Roberts silences as it indicates that the menace of the Boers to carry on prolonged guerrilla warfare is no empty threat, and that President Steyn is still capable of creating serious, if only temporary, trouble.
 A pdIiidIHeHtdry TSluIH loudy ShoWo tiieie fortysiX members of the house of lords and twenty eight members of the house of com mons are serving with the British troops in South Africa. r..
 Advices from Capetown say the fopinion prevails there that the Boer supplies of ammunition and food will not suffice to en- able them to prolong the struggle in the Lydenburg district for more than eight weeks. Capetown also anticipates that the Boers will be seriously harassed by the KaffirS. E

WANTS THEATRICAL LICENSE.

But Commissioner of the Revenue Her.
bert CONSTITUTES the Law Differently.
In April of last year the City Coun-
ell increased the license tax on Vaude-
vile shows in this city, run In connec-
ton with a saloon, to the amount Of
$4,000. This had the effect of closing
the only one there was in Portsmouth.
Since that time up to a few weeks ago
the theatre has been idle. while the sa-
loon has changed hands two or three
times. The building. in which there are
two stores, was subsequently leased by
Il gentleman in this city, who subjects
each store to different men.
The stores, which. under the old re-
gime. were thrown into one, have been
put back in their former condition,
with no connection with each other
Mr.. w. a. Smith rented from the les
see of the building the theatre, and pre-
pared to run a vaudeville show, say
ing to the Commissioner of the Revenue
that it was not his desire or intention
to sell liquor in the theatre, and applied
for n license. A State license was
granted him, but the Commissioner re-
fused TO grant him n theatrical license
less than the sum of $500. as per the
ordinance adopted by the Council. This
Mr. Smith said was not what the law
required. and as he did not intend to
sell liquor on the premises, and having
no connection with the saloon next
door, which was separate and distinct
from his place. he having no interest
there whatever, he thought the regular
State and city theatrical license of $40
each per week and fees was all that he
was required to pay.
The Commissioners, Mr.. Herbert. could
not, however. agree with Mr.. Smith,
and insisted that he should pay the ST.
500. as set forth in the ordinance re-
ferred to. Mr.. Smith employed counsel
and Judge Prentis will to-day be asked
