We believe the effort here by the
temperance people was untimely, and
that the proper sentiment had not been
worked up, Even then the result
would not have been much different
The saloon people are in the majority
and that settles the matter.
whole lot of people here believe
the saloons draw trade to town. II
this is true then they are worth some
thing to the trade of the place. for il
isn't apparent that any other class OF
business is making much of an effort
to attract trade to Wadsworth. Other

they will have to pay more taxes il

However the saloon question is

How It Happened That
WadsWorth Went "Wet.

Anent the recent local option cleo
ton there the Wadsworth Banner
says: It is the same old story in
Wadsworth. People will talk one way
and vote another Some of the church
people We're much disappointed over
the way some of their members voted.
They had expected better results from
the religious class and We're very
much shocked when they saw how
the vote was going.
Conscientious scruples in this case
counted for little, and this reminds us
of a story of a Dutchman who had
been drafted during the war, but
didn't want to go. When the army
surgeon came to examine him he com.
planned of all the ills TO which human
nature is heir,and which the examining
surgeon surgeon failed to establish,
Finally the surgeon asked the fellow
II he hadn't conscientious scruples
about going to the war. ''Yaw dots
it." exclaimed Hans, my wife told me
desc morning of ever l died l would
die NIT de scruples."
Up to the hour of going to press we
have been unable to hear of any sud
den deaths here as result of the elec-
tion.
Wadsworth has large labor ele-
ment, and this tells the story. Beer
and tobacco are as much of Il commod-
ity with this class as coffee and sugar.
Where the laboring classes control the
balance of elective power saloons win
remain undisturbed and the temper
ance people will have to do a little
educating before they undertake to
force vote on the liquor issue. In

and other points where there are no

GATES IN THE
COAL BUSINESS
Will Control Mining Lands In
-Four States.

Chicago, Aug. 6.--John w. Gates,
with number of his friends among
them William Edenborn, Samuel w.
Allerton. Isaac l.. Elwood and Henry
E. Weaver, has purchased heavy in
terests in the Weaver Coal Co., the
name of which has been changed to
the Weaver Coal & Coke Co.
An increase in capital stock to $3,-
100000 has been voted and it is prom
ised that soon the corporation will be
the largest producer in the United
States. Mr.. Gates becomes a mem
Der of the board of directors, with an
interest approximating $1,OOOO00.
Among the immense tracts of coal
lands owned by the company are some
5000 acres in Illinois, 5000 acres in
Ohio, 5000 acres in Pennsylvania and
very large and valuable holdings in
West Virginia.
The new company will mine coal and
manufacture coke on an enormous
scale and will invade the great lakes
coal trade with line of steamers un-
der its own charter, which will ship
from Sandusky, Cleveland and Toledo
to the company's tracks at Milwaukee
and to the big Lake Superior con-
suming ports. Heretofore the COM
pany has shipped almost exclusively
by rail.

STARVATION
Was the Cause Of a Little Child S
Death.

Chicago, Aug. 6.-Mrs. Neil Camp
bell, proprietress of. the alleged Grand
Island ave. baby farm, has been
charged with murder and will be given
a preliminary hearing Aug. 13. An
inquest in the case of the child which
died Thursday proved that the infant
died of starvation. The examining
physician also found what appeared
to be fracture of the skull. Inspec-
tor Wheeler believes that the complete
Investigation of the case will reveal q
startling traffic in infants. He stated
today that the arrest of several mid
wives was to be expected.
Under questioning by the police
Mrs. Campbell cleared the mystery
surrounding Viola, the l3-year-old gir
who first notified the police of the
existence of the baby farm. Mrs.
Campbell said the girl was her daugh
: ter but that John Reed, the Cincinnat Il
printer, was the child's father. Ac-
cording to her statement Viola was
born at Lily Chapel, O., about 16 miles
south of Columbus. Soon after Reed
deserted her.
Mrs. Campbell confessed to Inspec-
tor Wheeler that seven children are
buried at Calvary cemetery. instead
of three, as she stated Saturday, but
insists that they were all her own
children.

SWEEPINGS LEFT IN C0NDUITS.
Olive Street Merchants Complained
of Street Cleaning.

Street sweepers on Olive street are help
ing to fill the old cable conduits by dump
ing trash and refuse from the pavement
through the slots. and merchants along the
thoroughfare are complaining Of the stencil
and nuisance that has been created as q
result.
The accumulation Of filth when heated by
the sun rays ferments in the narrow pas
healthful odor. As the conduit Is mover
cleaned and the dirt continues to gather
the merchants along Olive street are anx-
tous that the practice be stopped
1t Is customary for the sweeping9 to be
gathered In piles along the street and after
ward taken up by wagons and hauled away.
This rule is followed on streets where there
are no old cable slots, but some Of the
sweepers find Il more convenient to secrete
the trash in the conduit and there IL stays.
One of the cleaners at work yesterday
said he had deposited refuse in the cable
slot of his own accord, not thinking hat it
was OF any consequence.
Assistant Street Commissioner Hemenway
says the cleaners are not allowed to dump
refuse in onduits. Complaints concerning
the practice were entered with him, and
while investigating he saw a cleaner pour
the dirt into q manhole. Orders Of the
Street Department require the cleaners to
put the refuse in carts. From the carts
It Is dumped into wagons and hauled away.
Mr.. Hemenway notified the men that no
other system can be adopted, under penalty
Of DISCHARGE.

THEY REALIZE THE NECESSITY.

lIC1 IL III y l.
Louisville's Commercial Club is displaying con-
sistent business sense in taking action toward the
raising of a fund of 100000 for the purpose of in
surfing an adequate Kentucky exhibit at the st. Louis
Worlds Fair. an achievement impracticable without
such assistance.
There would have been cause for amazement If
this representative commercial body had failed to see
the error Of such a State as Kentucky allowing her
self to be advertised in a ffth-rate manner at an in
ternational exposition held in the American Middle
West. The confession contained in such an adver-
tsement would have injured Kentucky everywhere.
The amount Of money saved to the State by the Legis-
~lature's refusal to make an appropriation of sufficient
amount would have been infnitesimal in comparison
with the money lost through lack Of proper represen-
tation in a State competition before the world.
That the Kentucky State Legislature failed to per-
ceive the necessity for a competent Worlds Fair ap-
preparation may be due to the fact that the men,
bers are not business men, trained to discern the op-
portunit'es for profting tenfold by judicious invest
ment in advertising of the right kind. The CONNER
cial Club Of Louisville, however, does not labor under
this handicap. That organization is doing a vastly
valuable work for Kentuckys benefit in undertaking
to raise the 100000 Worlds Fair fund. There should
be no difficulty in the full performance of the task If
Kentucky's commercial, manufacturing and agrcul-
tural interests are fully awake to an opportunity for
a worldwide advertising Of the wealth and resources
Of their State.

THE N0RDICA CONCERT
farewell OVATION.

Nine. Nordica's farewell appearance in
st. Louis on the eve Of her departure for a
several years stay in Europe became the
occasion of a triumph for that beloved
singer such as even she has rarely known.
The Odeon last night was filed with her
friends, and made to echo with applause.
and at One moment to flutter white with the
waving OF innumerable handkerchiefs. 1t
was a Nordica night in all g~enuineness.
And Nordica herself was radiant in per-
son. magnetism and voice. When she came
on for her first song, Handel's familiar
Angels Ever Bright and Fair" her impos-
ing figure clothed in a striking gown Of DELI
cate green, a smile Of greeting on her lips,
1t was evident that she was in rare humor.
In another moment the fact that she was
also in rare voice became delightfully."- ap-
parent. ut from that time on she sang as
only Nordica can sing when the spirit moves
her.
The varied numbers In which she ap-
peared on the programme gave admirable
opportunity for her wonderful tone-range
and capacity for dramatic expression. In
addition to the Handel composition there
came the light and airy ''voi. che Sapete."
Of Mozart's Figaro" followed by the pas
sionate Beethoven recitative and air, "Ah
o'~A "ANA otpIl ~
feeling. Then was heard the ever-melodi-
GUS Mignon polonaise, with its demand up
on the high notes. sad so acceptably was
this sung that the hearers compelled an
encore. The appreciation Of the house as
this proved to be the delicate and poetic
THE Sweetest Flower That Blows" was a
joy to witness. 1t was then that handker-
chiefs began to fiutter in the air.
In the second half Of the programme
Nine. Nordica was first heard in the touch
ing n pathetically dramatic "Elsa's
Dream" from "Lohengrin." Again she came
in the regular number in the Hungarian
aria, from Erkel's "Laslos," whereupon
the house once more made ar irresistible
demand for an encore, the response being
"Brunhilde's Call" In Nordica's most tenn
pestuous tones. The programme closed with
the singing Of the Lucia sextet. by Nor
dica. Mrs. Fisk. Messrs. George Carrie,
james Rohan, Homer Moore and James G.
Stanley. where again Nordica, adequately
supported. brought down the house. She
had ere this been made the recipient OF
flowers over the f~cotlights.
The farewell demonstration Of the audi
ence following the closing number was
finely enthusiastic.
Mrs. Katharine Fisk also won much IA
vor in the number falling to he- share.
These were the "Che Faro Senza Euridice."
from Gluck's "Orpheus": Ffdes's air. Oh.
My Son. from The Prophet; and the
and Delilah Invocation to Love"
The work of Mr.. E. Romayne Simmons as
accompanist was. as usual. thoroughly ar
tistic and satisfying.

YET THE BILL WAS AMERICAN.

Doubtless the Republican members Of the House
Committee on Insular Affairs smiled in amusement
as they finally voted down the substitute Philippine
bill prepared by their Democratic colleagues. The
measure was so utterly foolish, they thought; actually
proposing independence for the Filipino people.
Yet the Democratic substitute bill voiced the true
Americanism and should constitute the policy of this
Government in the solution of the Filipino problem.
The question is not one of sympathy for the Filipinos.
The point at issue is the maintenance Of the American
spirit and obedience to American teachings, upon
which depends the safety of the American people
themselves.
We need not waste time nor emotional demonstra-
ton upon the Filipino side Of this question. The mon
grel breed of Malay, Chinese and Spanish strains does
not and should not appeal with any especial magnet
ism to the American mind. But the duty which does
call for fulfllment is that of dealing with the Filipinos
as the American creed commands.
Just as surely as we hold that people as a subject
people, governed by force against their consent, so
surely do we imperil American liberty in the future.
The phrase may weary Republicans, but the truth
still remains that this country cannot exist half Re
public and half Empire.

BIG GAIN FOR ST. LOUIS.


st. Louis merchants are to be congratulated OF
the final and full success of their movement to secure
on the part Of the Federal Government the establish
ment Of an Indian supply warehouse in this city fol
the greater convenience of trade with the various In
dian agencies.
This achievement means very great benefit in the
matter of competition with Chicago or New York. Sec
rotary Saunders of the Business Mems League, which
has been most active in the movement now crowned
with success. asserts that st. Louis will hereafter sup
ply the agencies with most of the boots and shoes,
dry goods, hardware, groceries and drugs used by
the Indian trade.
This is due to the fact that, with the bidding and
submitting of samples in st. Louis instead of in Chi
cago or New York, the local merchants can easily
undersell their competitors.
Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock and Senator
Cockrell have worked loyalty for st. Louis in this
movement and are entitled to high credit for their ex-
cellent service. st. Louis merchant themselves are to
be commended for the enterprise with which they
have prosecuted the movement. st. Louis is the nat
ural supply station for the Indian trade. The Govern
menrs establishment of an Indian supply station il
this city is an acknowledgment of this fact.
