PARKER MANAGERS
ARE APPREHENSIvE'
Meriwether and Filley Have Their
Greatest Following in South
End Wards.
STRONG IN NINTH AND TENTH.
Here Mayor Ziegenhein Obtained
His Largest Ward Vote in 1897
Eleventh. Hour Plans to
Stop the Detection.

With Meriwether and Filey gaining their
greatest strength in the Republican strong
holds. the South St. Louis wards, the
! Parker campaign managers are extremely
apprehensive and have decided to concen-
| trate all their resources upon this section
| of the city in the hope of stemming the
tide at the eleventh hour.
All reports agree and are confirmed by in
vestigation by the Republican City Central
Committee. that the detection in the South
End has grown to alarming proportions
viewed from Republican standpoint. The
German and Bohemian vote, which predOm-
mates here has always been considered by
the Republicans their surest aid in carry
ing elections.
-Four years ago, when Ziegenhein was
elected Mayor, he obtained his largest ma
jorites in the southern wards In the old
Eleventh, now the Tenth. total of 1895
votes We're cast. and he received 3.151- His
own ward. the Ninth. came next with 4
vote of 1925 for him, out of total Of 4,OiO
Since 1887 Mayor Ziegenhein has become
so unpopular politically in these wards
which then gave him more votes than any
other two in the city that it is a common
remark. even among his own henchmen.
that he could not be elected in his home
district to the office of Constable.
1t is in these two wards that Mertwether
and F'iiley have developed their most sub
StdHtal following, ana as the wards are
overwhelmingly Republican under ordinary
circumstances they have drawn this
strength from the Republican side.
On the streets and in the stores in the
Ninth and Tenth wards the prediction Is
heard from morning until night that Meri-
wether and Filley will carry these wards
by big majorities.
1t was gwen out at the headquarters OF
the Republican City Central Committee
Wednesday that Mr.. Parker probably would
not appear at meetings in the West End at
which he had been scheduled to speak. and
that he would &c to South St. Louis in
stead, the plan being to have him make a
thorough canvass OF the southern wards IN
the hope of saving them to the Republicans.
In line with this policy. an extra meeting
was arranged for Wednesday night in the
Tenth Ward, and Parker spoke here before
proceeding to the regularly announced meet
ings.
Mayor Ziegenhein's emphatic support
of Parker and his boast after the primary
that his administration had been indorsed
by the nomination of Parker have done as
much as anything to drive the Republicans
of the Ninth and Tenth wards to other po-
ltical camps 1t is expected that Parker
will seek to show. in his speeches In the
South End. that Mayor Ziegenhein had
to do with his nomination. though
the Mayor was in the conference which
fixed up the Parker slate.

IN A TRASH PILE.
Old King George Coin Found in Knox
Vile.

Old King George Coin Found in Knox
Vile, Tenn.
Walter Cheatham, an employe of the
city stables, has had the good fortune
to find a very old coin of the realm of
Great Britain in a trash pile, says the
Knoxville Journal and Tribune. The
coin is of the same size as an Amerl-
can dollar and weighs just the same.
Walter did not realize that the coin
might have a big price offered for it,
and while showing it to Stable Boss
William Kellar, asked that official
what he would give for the coin. Mr..
Kellar does not know the value of old
coins, and offered ten cents. Mr..
Cheatham declined and Mr.. Kellar
proffered twenty-five cents and the
bargain was struck. Mr. Kellar de-
cided he would keep the coin as rare
novel keepsake. but now he would
probably refuse an offer OF $500 for it,
pending a thorough investigation of its
value to numismatic collectors. On
yesterday Mr.. Cheatham returned to
Mr.. Kellar and tried to buy back the
coin for a quarter of a dollar. Mr..
I<ellar refused, but jokingly said he
would take S. for it. Cheatham was
about to take him at his word, when
Mr.. Kellar said he intended to keep the
coin. Its owner was then INFORMED
that according to a coin collectors
manual, King Georges dollar was
quoted as being worth $1,000. The coin
is much worn and the date is effaced
but King Georges profile is stamped
on the face of the coin, while on the
back his majesty is pictured astride
a horse in the act of Staying a dragon.
George Ill, G. B." are some OF the
letters easily deciphered around the
margin of the coin. The edge is worn
smooth.

TURNING TO LEFT.
Instinct Possessed Both by Man and
the Lower Animals.

Instinct has been defined as a sort
Of inherited knowledge peculiar to the
lower animals. That man possesses
many analogous traits we all know;
but there is one so subtly engrafted in
his nature that, under certain clrcum-
stances, he is unconsciously made to
act In precisely the same manner as
the wild animal, and that is in circle
travelling. 1t is a peculiar instict
which causes wild animals, when pur-
sued for any considerable distance.
always to travel in a circle; and man,
when lost on the ,veldt, the prairies,
or in the forest, unconsciously becomes
controlled by the same instinct and is
made to bend his course and travel in
a circle, and return to the same place
from whence he started. A notable in
stance of this is mentioned by Mr..
Catlin. an American traveller of repute,
which occurred while ascending the
upper Missouri. He had left the steam
er on which he had been sailing up the
river, with the object Of reaching an
Indian village by making a shortcut
across a prairie on foot, accompanied
only by a single attendant. I'm our
course" said Mr. Catlin, 1--WE had a
prairie Of some thirty miles to cross;
and the second day, being dark and
cloudy, We had no object by which to
guide our course, having no compass
with me at the time. During the first
day the sun shone, and We kept our
course very well; but on the next
morning, though We started right
(laid our course), We no doubt soon
began to bend, notwithstanding that
we appeared to be progressing in a
straight line. There was nothing to be
seen about US but short grass, every
where the same; and in the distance a
straight line, the horizon, all around
us. Late in the afternoon, and when
we were very much fatigued we came
upon the very spot, TO our surprise,
where we had bivouacked the night
before, and which we had left on that
morning. We had turned to the left
and no doubt had travelled all day in
a circle. The next day, having the sun
shine, we laid (and kept our course
without any difficulty. On arriving at
the Sioux village and relating our sim
gular adventure, the Indians laughed
at us very heartily, and all the chiefs
united in assuring me that whenever
a man is lost on the prairies he trav-
els in a circle, and also that he invari-
ably turns to the left; of which singu-
lar fact have become doubly convinc-
ed by subsequent proofs similar to the
one ntioned.-Chamber's Journal.
