Of the strike on the 81. Louis Transit
Company system today. This afternoon
Cass avenue car was stopped at the cor
ner of Twenty-third and Cass avenues IN
order that a barricade which had been
placed across the track might be removed.
During the enforced halt a big crowd of
strike sympathzers attacked the car, fir
ing a number of shots one of the bullets
struck Special Policeman Duncan X. Nc
Rae, who was riding on the front platform
with the motorman. in the left arm, pass
ing through his body and coming out on
the right side. The policeman sank uncon-
scous to the floor. Other patrolmen who
had been stationed at the corner to pro-
tect the cars, then charged the crowd and
beat them back. 4 riot cali was sent in to
the Ninth district station and dozen
mounted policemen came at full gallop TO
the scene. The combined forces soon re-
stored order. McRae was placed in an am
bulance but died enroute to the hospital.
McRae was about 60 years of age.
A Little Boy shot.
Eddie Mans. 8 years old. was shot
through the leg this afternoon by a man
on a Cass avenue car. The little boy was
sitting on the front door step. when some
small boys, who mad been throwing stones
at a westbound Cass avenue car, ran up
the alley south of the house. A man who
is supposed to be an emergency police
man, leaned out from the car and fired
shot at the fleeing boys. The shot
struck little Mans in the right leg near the
hi9.
Conductor Fatally Beaten.
r. Il. Hodge, a conductor on the Tower
Grove line, is a patient at the St Johns
hospital suffering from injuries which II
Is feared will prove fatal. He was assault
ed by n crowd of men on his car at the
crossing of Satn2 street Tuesday after
noon. one of them struck Hodge on the
head with club and others knocked him
down and kicked him until he was un-
conscious.
No new lines were opened today, but the
number Of cara was increased on those
lines in operation. Few passengers rode
in the cars. Cars probably will not be run
at night until the strike is ended.
At 10 O'Clock tonight the last car which
has been run at night since the COM
mencement of the strike, was sent over
the Park avenue line, in charge of about
fifteen heavily armed guards and was run
without lights The car attracted a crowd
at the corner of Park and Mississippi ave-
nues and the men on board fired a num-
Der of shots, slightly injuring two spec
tators.

Colorado woman's Bryaa Club.

We are in receipt of the follow
ing appeal from the Colorado
Woman's S Bryan Club
DENVER, Oct. 18th, 1900.
To the Women of Colorado, Utah,
Idaho and Wyomiag
A campaign of vital issues is
in progress. The struggle of to-
day is the continuation of the
struggle of 1896. In 1896 we
fought for policies and measures
necessary to the welfare of the
Republic--today we fight for the
very life of the Republic.
The Republican party stands
pledged to a tariff policy which
is the mother of Trusts; trusts
which have struck a blow at all
opportunity; lessened produc-
ton; controlled prices, and are
robbing the wage-ea earning classes.

Democratic Speaking.

Last Friday was field-day for
the Democrats of Challis. 1t was
on account of the public speak
ing in The hall that night by Hon.
James FL. Hawley and Hon. Thos.
r. Terrill, Democratic nominee
for Lieut.. Governor.
Bon-fires blazed, anvils boom
ed and the band played to wei
come our distinguished guests.
Speaking commenced at 8o'clock
p. m. Despite the stormy night,
the large hall was crowed with
voters. The audience was near
ly double thatof any other speak
ers this year, and the enthusiasm
manifested must have been very
gratifying to the speakers.
Mr.. Geo. E. Keyes acted as
chairman of the meeting, and
first introduced Hon. Thos. f.
Terrill. Upon the platform
decorated with flags and bunt-
ing, besides the speakers of the
evening and the Chairman, were
Ravenel Macbeth, the Democrat
ic nominee for State Senator;
Henry F. Powell, nominee for
Representative, and e. G. Cham
berlain, nominee for Sheriff.
Mr.. Terrill did not make a
lengthy address, but the manner
in which he explained the issues
confronting the American people
of today, was clear and to the
point, and were facts which the
Republicans cannot deny. The
scope of his argument was on the
silver and trust question, and
his argument was logical and
able throughout.
Hon. Jas. H. Hawley was next
introduced, although Mr.. Hawley
knew most of his audience per
sonally years ago. He entered
into a lengthy appeal for the
voters to consider the important
questions before them, and spoke
of most of the important issues
in very able manner. He ap-
pealed to the voters to stand by
the silver question for it was for
their own vital interest and well
fare. He appealed to the silver
men and women to vote the
Democratic ticket straight-from
Bryan down to precinct officers
for great issues were involved
in this campaign. Every mem
ton of Bryan's name brought
forth loud applause. Mr.. Haw-
ley closed his argument with an
appeal for the voters to send
Hon. Fred. T. Dubois, the great
silver champion, to the q. S.
Senate.
Messrs. Hawley and Terrill
have been greeted with large and
appreciative audiences during
their tour of Custer county.

Bryan's Election Assured.

Conjecture has no part in the
statement made by the National
Democratic Committee when it
asserts that William J. Bryan
will be elected President. He
will receive the electoral votes
of New York, Indiana, Illinois,
Maryland, Kentucky and West
Virginia, in addition to the states
that he carried before. This
claim is based upon careful can
vases of the states in question.

The Result in Custer County.

Next Tuesday the great polit-
ical struggle will be over. and it
goes without saying that there
will be many sore people no mat
ter which way the tide turns. In
Custer county it is almost for
gone conclusion that Bryan will
receive majority of over 200.
We also claim majority of 100
for the entire Democratic state
and county tickets, possibly with
one or two exceptions.

THE DREAm-DRAMA.

LDY T. SHELLEY SUrros.l
And is this madness,-tell mel have dreamed
A strange, sad dream-a drama that has seemed
Like some wild fsrce-a play where Thoughts
have been
The only actors on the stage of sin;
1t is farce-a tragedy of tears;
A brain brewed fancy that is born OF fears;
A sad regret for pleasures that have gone
A moments bliss, and then-the play goes on
A smile, a tear, pleasure and sigh
A vain ambition nurtured by Lie
This is the plot-the play in which my soul
Must bear the pathos of its bitter role;
1t is not madness-no-it may be rife
With mad'ning fancies but the dream is-Life

From tip to tip of each middle finger just five feet five inches, the same as her height. The length of her hand should be one-tenth of her height; her foot one-seventh. and the diameter of her chest one.fifth. From her thighs to the ground she should measure just the same as from her thighs to the top of her head. The knee should come exact ly midway between the thigh and the heel. The distance from the elbow to the middle finger should be the same as from the elbow to the middle of the chest. From the top of the head to the chin should be just the length of the foot and the same distance from the chin to the armpits. A woman of this height should measure tWenty-four inch es around the waist, thirty-four about the bust, if measured under the arms, and forty-three if measured over them The upper arm should measure thirteen inches and the wrist six inches. The calf of the leg should measure fourteen and one-half inches, thigh twenty-five and the ankle eight.

THE MEANEsT TOWN LOCATED.


 Life's contest for the prize award to the describer of the meanest town in existence might as well be declared off The place has been discovered One man declared that the town was in Massachusetts. He had fallen through hole in sidewalk and sustained in- juries resulting'in the loss of his right arm. He sued for damages. A jury of representative citizens brought in a verdict against them, declaring that as he was left-handed, his injury didn't amount to anything. But the meanest town is in Maryland. And it was thus characterized to the above unfortunate by a friend. He said:
 .sAn acquaintance of mine down there was injured some time ago in much the same way the man you mentioned got hurt. He fell on a bad sidewalk and lost one of his legs. He sued the city and didn't get anything. I never heard just why, but probably because the jurors didn't believe he needed more than one leg in his business, seeing that he was barber and couldn't hold a razor or shave a man with his foot anyway
 But wait. I haven't come to the point at which the real meanness de- Veloped. Being q poor man, he couldn't afford to buy cork leg, so he had to get along with a wooden peg, and one day while he was crossing the principal street this peg in some way got wedged between a couple of paving stones right in the middle of the street car tracks It took them nearly an hour to get him loose, and what do you suppose hap fine him $10 and costs for obstructing fine him $10 and costs for abstructing traffic, "--Chicago News,

cello sonata by Locatelli, Chaminade's charming son, II Etc., and the Scherzo from Brahms Trio for violin, piano and horn,
 have seldom heard such enthusias- tic applause; every one of the ladies and gentlemen who gave their services might have been an Ysaye, a PadereWs- Xxi, Hugo Becker or an Edward Lloyd, for the enthusiasm they aroused. And the applause was not by any means loudest for the songs, as you might think. The Quintet was much appreci- ated, and, indeed, it was well played; Brazzinfs Concerto Militaire took the audience by storm, and the catchy rhythm of Locatelli's violoncello sonata was quietly followed by many pairs of boots. The Chaminade song was sung in French, fact which caused an anx- ious examination of programmes, in which only the English version was giy- en. A lady played the horn in Brahms trio, and that seemed to tickle the fancy of the audience before the trio began It's actual performance was listened to most attentively. I have a knowledge of applause, and not once in the after noon was it perfunctory or merely a courteous recognition of the trouble taken by the amateurs. What toucbed me most, I think, was an old man, sit ting behind me, who attempted to learn the tune of Who Is sylyia?' by whist ling it, sotto voce, in unison with the singer. I hope he learned it.--London Leader.
