A DEMOCRATIC STATE.
The Way They Do Things Down In
Missouri.

st. Louis, Feb. 11.-More than 15O
shots were fired, a sergeant of police and
two negroes we're wounded and q ballot
box was stolen in the course of a riot
about the Second district polling place
OF the Fourth ward, at Twelfth and
Linden streets, early this evening. It
was only after riot call had brought
Captain Kelley with 40 policemen and
riot guns to the scene that a semblancp
OF order was restored.
Even then the streets were filled with
negroes and some white men, all OF
whom were armed, many of them in.

The wounded were: Sergeant Quinti-
van OF the Fourth district, shot in the
leg; George Monroe, shot in the arm:
Fred Jones, shot in the leg.
The trouble had been brewing all the
afternoon. The Tinker judges disagreed
with tha Wells men as to the advisa-
blllty of opening the back door of the
polling place. One claimed that the
other had host of heelers in waiting
and If the door were opened men would
press IN to cause confusion and prevent

tlons were Iockeying to prevent any
voting whatever, because, they said. the
ward was overwhelmingly for their
leader, Noonan. The judges, being un-
aole TO agree, no voting was done.
Trouble Began.
Finally, shot was fired supposedly
from the revolver of Arthur Gardiner. a
negro.
AS soon as the shot rang out the
street about the polling place became
the scene of a fusiiade. Every man drew
one or two revOlvers. Judge John RYAN
ran out into the street and shot square

Qulntlvan rushed upon the bolder
rioters, attempting to disarm them. 1t
was while he was arresting George Mon

disarm him, that Quintivan was shot.
Detective McGrath ran to bis assistance.
disarmed the negro and in the midst of
a scattering fire wrapped a handkerchief
about the sergeaut's wounded leg to
stop the flow of blood from a severed
artery.
len p0hcemen were on the spot within
a few minutes and succeeded in aueIling
the riot and dispensing the 300 negroes
who had figured most prominently in
the affray.
Stole the Ballot Boxes.
After order had been restored it was
found that the ballot box had been
stolen. Every Judge and clerk had been
at the windows or at the front door
holding the fort. Some one had slipped
in the back way and taken the box from
behind them. The upshot was that no
votes were polled today in the Second
district of the Fourth ward.

CLOSING KANSAS JOINTS.
outcome of the Fight Led by Mrs.
Carrie Nation.

Topeka, Kan, Feb. 10.-A meeting of
the citizens of Topeka this afternoon, at
which 5000 were present, decided that
the joints must go at once. Friday.
February Is, is the time set when the
cleansing of the city must be made com
plete. If it is not done by that time, an
army OF 1000 men will immediately
move upon the joints and remove them
by force.
The meeting this afternoon was re-
markable In every respect. 1t was called
by committee of the Law Enforcement
League and was attended by nearly all
the prominent business men of the city.
Conservative men, who have heretofore
advocated moderation, insist that the
people of Topeka shall take the law in
their own hands.
An ultimatum was passed, command
ing the officers OF the city and county to
perform their duty regarding the closing
OF the joints. The property owners on
whose premises the joints are kept, were
warned that they had better abate the
nuisance at once or the people of Topeka
would not be responsible for the damage
that might eDsue to the buildings.

Education in Porto Rico.

The expense of maintaining schools in
Porto Rico is very high, if We consider
the amount spent for the small number
OF pupils enrolled; but as that country
is gradually brought in closer touch
with our own, their system will evidently
be changed, until it reaches our present
state of perfection. In this country the
people are being educated to the fact,
that there is sure cure for dyspepsia,
Indigestion, constipation, liver and kid
ney troubles, and that medicine is Hos
letters Stomach Bitters. 1t should be
taken at the very first symptom, if you
would avoid unnecessary suffering 1t
will give prompt relief and eventually
cure, as hundreds OF people, including
many prominent physicians, have testi-
fed during the past fifty years.

A peculiar dice game is INDUCED in
by the gambling element OF Ltthua'
mans IN Baltimore.
Gathering about the dice tables In
the saloons kept by their fellow coun'
trymcu they quickly lose all interest in
everything outside OF that which is
TRANSPORTING upon the cloth before them.
AS they sit or stand about the tables
the carcworn features of old men con
trast strongly with the ruddy faces of
the youths. The cagerness with which
the players seek the numbers upon the
falling pieces is woltish in its intensity.
Comparatively small sums are placed
upon the game, and side bets run from
. cents 10 81.
Although resembling in the manner
in which 1t is operated the high dice
game us played by the Anglo-Saxon
races, the dice of the Llthuanians, In
stead of numbering from to G, run
from l to 10, the numbering Of
the six sides being !, ., 8, 4, 8, 10. The
game is played with four pieces. and n

ever, very hard for nervous people TO

smokers have tried for a score of years
to check their smoking speed without
success. They probably did not begin

Why is the presidents mansion at
Washington called the White House?
1t has been so called for years and
years, and now no one thinks OF using
any other maine, although executive
mansion Is the official term. The
name White House is reminder Of
the second war with England. Aug.
"a, 1914. the British army captured
Washington and burned the public
buildings, the presidents mansion be-
Ing among those TO suffer 1t was
damaged to some extent, and to hide
the fire stains 1t was painted white,
and white it has been painted every
year or two since.
The home of Washingtons mother
was called the white house." and this
may have suggested the name, but the
fact that the mansion was SO assldu-
ously painted white after the war of
1912 doubtless brought the term into
popular use.

A Glasgow cabby once had as fare
an Inverness minister and his wife.
He had to drive them through the poor

their destination the minister, at the

"why are there so many poor people
In this city, cabman"
