SOutheaSt Saving * Loan Coin pdhy
A new organization with the above
name has just been perfected here.
The concern will be run under the usual
style peculiar to building and loan
associations. A meeting of the stock
holders was held last night and the
following officers and directors elected:
President, NJ. f. Leming: vice-presi-
dent. F. \. kage; treasurer, L. j.
Albert, ,Jr.: attorney, F. K. Burrougl.

Louis Stein, E. w. Flentge, DR.. Fl.
L. Cunningham
The formation of this organization
may be taken as an indication of the
prosperity of our city, and also a
compliment to the worth of building
and loan associations. 1t would be
difficult to find any one thing which
has been of more substantial benefit
to the people of small means than
these associations. A glance at the
list of officers, and the names in the
directory should be Sufficient to con
vince the most cred ulOus that the
affairs of the new organization viii
be we'll managed.

He Passes in ~. Louis As Young
Munchausen.
The Republic of Tuesday contain
ed the following item which was no
doubt read by many persons in this
city with interest:
'Lee Mccormick, 10-year old boy,
who is confined in the matron's deten-
tion ward at the Four Courts, lived
with his aunt, Lucy Lyons, in Cape
Girardeau, No., until about a month
ago, when he decided to see more of
the world. He boarded the steamer
Grey Eagle, which carried him to
Grand Tower, where he got off and
went to MurphysborO, ILL.,, intending
to go to the home of his aunt, Sarah
Lyons. He failed to find her, and
remained there, living from house to
house, until week ago, when he
boarded steamer and came to ST.
ST. Louis. Since then he said he had
been sleeping in dry goods boxes at
night and begging enough on the
streets in the daytime to buy some
thing 10 eat.
About $50 o'clock yesterday after
noon he approached Anthony w.
Young, Mayor of Alton, ILL.,, at
Jefferson avenue and Olive street and
asked for money to buy something to
ett. Mayor Young bought him a
dinner, and while the youngster ate
induced him to tell his story. Lee was
rather proud of his adventures, and
told about everything he had done
Mr.. Young then escorted him to the
Eighth District Police Station, where
he turned him over to the police.
Lee was transferred to the FOul
Courts, where he will be held until hii
relatives are heard FROM"
This is the youth the Rev. McGe,
took to st. Louis on April 10th and
turned over to Rev. Gay of th'
Children's Home Society. Befort
leaving, David A. Glenn fitted hin
out from head to foot with everything
he needed in the way Of clothing, ant
q number of citizens contributed (
sum in cash to help the good wori
along. Mr.. McGee saw the boy safel!
to the home, and after giving bin
some good advice as to his futur
conduct he returned to this city.
1t would appear from the articl
quoted that Lee did not like the sur
roundings at the home and skippe'
out the first chance he got. AS 500
as he was foot-loOse he began his oil
tricks, and when taken to the Fou
Courts by the officers he gave them
great amount of hot air about hi
adventures. Lee is a most artist
liar. and it may be said Of him tina
the pungency of his invention, an
the originality of his equivocation ar
absolutely refreshing.
The father of the boy was seen las
night and he stated that ne woul
make an effort to have the boy. sen
to some relatives over in Illinois, bu
h. did NOT know whether be would sta
there or not.
1t might not be out Of place in thi
connection 20 ask why Bro. Davi
Gay and his assistants do not TAX
better care of the bows intrusted t
their care. Can't they keep a watc
on them and keep them from runnin!
over the streets of the city. This cas-
is similar To the one of the Frederick
town boy which occurred some week
since and which brought out som
very straight talk from the papers {

Havana, April 9.-An elaborate DEM.

Maxine Gomez to 9indorse the adverse
attitude adopted by him with respect
to the re-appearance of the autono-

object OF the promoters was to entreat
Gen. Gomez not to leave Cuba. Several
thousand assembled in the Prado. from
which point they marched thru the
principal streets with hands and
torches to the residence of the Cuban
patriot. CASTOR Mora. a prominent
member of the national party, who
acted as spokesman for the demon
strators, saluted Gomez in the name of
all Cubans and assured him that the
Cubans desired him to remain with
them until the Anal stage OF independ-
ence had been reached.
Gen. Gomez, In reply, said he was
compelled togo away for a short time
to look after his private interests. but

I REMARKABLE FACTS.

More Gold. More silver, More Money
IN Circulation Than Ever Before.
Washing ton, April 9.-The circulation
statement issued by the treasury de-
ipartmeRt for April makes some re-
markable disclosures. 1t shows that
more money per capita, more gold,
more silver, and a larger total of
money is in circulation at the present
time than ever before. For the frs
time in the history of the country the
$26 line, and the year 1900 carried the
total for the first time past the $1,000
100000 line, while the amount OF gold
and gold certificates in circulation is
larger than at the corresponding date
of any previous year.
The circulation statement shows the
total money in circulation on April L
1900. to be 81, ,02l, 2722. SOC, and on April 1,
1899, 1927. s46,942, while on the

669, 900, 694, and on April /, 1896, s1,52s,-
629, 463 This shows an increase in total
money in circulation in four years of
1892. .645.043. or 80 per cent.
The per capita money in circulation,
or the average amount for each individs
ual in the United States. is also larger

ling the present population at 1895, ,0OO).
against s25.45 one year ago, $23.69 two
years ago, so3.0l three years ago and
$2l.53 on April 1, 1896.

a candidate for the same nomination
two years ago. Senator Mullan is max
ing a. very strong showing and If he
should put as much energy into the
campaign as Mr.. Sims he might very
likely win. He stands very high at the
bar and is an exceedingly popular man.
The withdrawal of Representative E..
p. Barringer from the contest for sec
retary of state leaves the incumbent,
George L. Dobson, without opposition
and it is now generally conceded that
he will be given the customary third
term by acclamation.
1t is practically assured that Senator
William Corse Macarthur, Of Burling-
ton. will be appointed clerk of the
United States district court for the
southern district of Iowa by Judge
Smith Mcpherson, when he assumes
the office.
Nothing but ridicule is heard, among
both republicans and democrats. of the
announcement of Admiral Dewey that
he would like to be president. The re-
publican press and the politicians OF
both parties have expressed amaze
ment at the effrontery of the man in
declaring that he would accept the
nomination of either party, that he vir-
tualiS had no politics and that the Of
flee Of president did not amount tc
much anyway. The republicans are all
for Mckinley and the democrats are al
for Bryan in this state, and SO far as
they are concerned there is not the
least chance of making place for Ad.
