TO ACCEPT $4,000
FUND CAUSES CHANGE IN
PLANS OF COMMITTEE.
DECLINES 70 ACCEPT ANY GIFT.
Business Men May Present Testimonial
Much Less Costly Than Home
to Prosecuting Attorney
at Function in
st. Louis.

A fund of $500 subscribed by 10C
st. Louis business men, to purchase q
home for Circuit Attorney Folk as O
public testimonial of the prosecutors
successful fight against boodling, has
not been given back to the contrib
utors, although Mr.. Folk has positive.
ly declined to accept any gift and all
hope Of persuadlng him to change his
mind in this respect has been aban.
doned.
! Plans are In the hands of commit.
tee locking to some other manner OF
honoring Mr.. Folk, which will not be
Objectionable to him and will give an
opportunity to those who are anxious
to show their appreciation of his SER
! vice to the city, and the $4,000 is at
the disposal of this committee.
What can be done with SO much
money in view Of Mr.. Folks declina-
tion to have anything in the nature of
gift, is just now puzzling the mem
bers Of the committee. 1t has been
suggested that an elaborate banquet
be given to Mr. Folk, with leading
citizens selected to speak, and that a
gift less costly than the one the Cir
cult Attorney has just refused be
made at this function. Those who are
interested In the movement, however,
will not say that this suggestion has
been seriously considered as yet
1t is said that Mr.. Folk knew moth
ing about the proposed movement TO
buy him home until committee
representing the donors called upon
him and made the formal presenta-
tion. IL was not the offer OF house
and lot OF the givers' picking, but such
a home as Mr.. Folk might select that
could be purchased for $4,000.
Mr.. Folks refusal was instantane-
Gus and sincere.
81 deeply appreciate the spirit In
which you gentlemen make this ten
der OF testimonial Of appreciation Of
my work." Mr.. Folk told the commit
tee, "but nothing could induce me TO
accept anything OF pecuniary value
from the people whom am serving at
their will. Your action satisfies me
that what / am doing In an official
way is with the approva! of the best
citizens Of this community, and that
is reward enough. Such offers only
make it more difficult for me to carry
on my work, for it gives an impression
that am striving for such things. /

Edwin s. Lewis, OF the Hargadine-
McKittrick Dry Goods Company, who
is known to have been one Of those
who subscribed TO the Folk testimo-
nial fund, would not say what the
plans of the committee were in regard
to disposing of the $4,000. 1t is GER
tain, however, that the money has
not been withdrawn by its donors be-
cause of Mr.. Folks refusal to accept
the handsome gift planned for him.
No one of the hundred subscribers,
1t is said, gave more than $780, and the
number was limited, many subscrip-
tions rendered after the necessary
amount was raised having been re-
turned.
MIR. Folk himself declined to discuss
the tender OF a home.

A TALK ON DEATH.
David Ramsey, Formerly in the I'M
dertaking Business at Sedalia,
Says it Happens to Majority
at Same Hour as Birth.

A former resident OF Sedalia was
QUOTED in the Pueblo, Colo, Times
Journal Of last Friday as follows:
"Human beings die within a half
hour Of the same hour Of the day they
were BORN" says David Ramsey, an
embalmer employed by the West
Brothers and Wilton Mortuary asso-
citation. To substantiate this Mr.. Ram
sey cites records Of all the cases that
have come to bis and the hands of many
other undertakers, covering a period
Of ten years
whether any significance can be at
tached to this fact i do not know, {"
continued Mr.. Ramsey, and physi-
clans can not tell me, but my atten-
tion was attracted to it years ago and
| began taking notes Of the time the
people were born, whose bodies came
to my establishment for burial. /
first observed 1t in my own family.
My grandfather died within a very
few minutes from the hour in which
he was born; my mother passed away
within an equally short time Of her
birth hour, and so did several OF my
children. Z"
Mr.. Ramsey was for years engaged
in the undertaking business at Sedalia,
Mo-, and is regarded as one of the
most skillful embalmers In the West.
1t was there he began taking and re-
cording his observations on the hour in
which people were born in relation to
thae at which they died. So closely to-
gether did he find that these two i'm
portant events came as TO the hour of
the day that he was fascinated, and
continued taking notes on all the lives
and deaths he could come in contract
with In his own and other establish
ments. During the ten years that he
has recorded his observations Mr..
Ramsey finds that a very small per
centage of human beings are able to
get away from their birth hour when
they come to be born in to another
world. Though he has studied the sub
ject long and careful from scientific
standpoint and otherwise, he has not,
however, been able to discover any law
that operates toeffect the phenomena.
The majority Of mankind die in the
night, according to his records, and,
of course, the majority are born dur
ing the night.

STARTED TOWARD MEXICO.
Balloon Worth $500, and Bearing
Worlds Fair Pass, Belongs to
Whoever Finds It.

Floating somewhere in the earth IS
atmosphere, free to wander whittier
soever it will, is balloon that is
worth any mans while to capture. 1t
started toward this city upon its re-
lease week ago, but later turned
east.
The balloon itself is silk structure,
20 feet in diameter, 30 feet long, made
OF heavy yellow silk and covered with
rope netting. This great air ship is
worth $500 on the market, and it be-
longs without any reservation what
ever to the person who captures IT.
| And this is not all For, securely
fastened to the bottom Of the balloon,
in silk bag, oiled so as to keep out
the moisture, is a document which
gives 10 the captor OF the air
ship a ticket To the Louisiana Pur-
chase Eyposili N, good for the entire
season.
The balloon is one OF several that
ascended at ST Louis on Thursday
night of the dedication period. Mr..
Pain, who had charge OF the pyrotech-
mics at the Worlds Fair dedication,
had number of captive balloons that
were to figure In spectacular aerial
display, but several Of them escaped
and these balloons have been falling
in different parts OF the country. One
was recovered by Oreon Vollentine at
Sorrento, Ill and another by James q.
Hinsey at Worden, Ill.
But neither OF these balloons is the
prlze-bearer. This particular balloon
which was dispatched on its journey,
destination unknown, was sent up by
Aeronaut Carl Meyer after dark
Thursday, April 30. It's only cargo
was a message, written on official
Worlds Fair stationery, and signed
officially by President David r. Fran
els, conveying the information that
the finder of the balloon, upon presen-
tation of the letter, and a written
statement regarding Its finding, would
be supplied with pass to the Worlds
Fair from May /, 1904, to the close Of
the Fair Dec. l, 1904.
The great balloon Vas filed with
hydrogen gas, more than 22,000 cubic
feet being used at the cost Of about
5000. This is sufficient to keep the
balloon In the air from two to three
weeks 1t is at the mercy Of every
wind that blows, and may be found
thousand miles hence, or 1t may wan
der around and when the gas finally
has leaked, fall close to where the as
cension was made.
When the balloon arose it carried a
huge light that burned for possibly
half an hour. 1t arose rapidly and
was caught by a wind from the south
east The breeze was strong and the
light could be seen moving northwest
through the sky. 1t arose and struck
another current and struck of due
east, rising higher, and soon disap-
peared.
The balloon will rise and fall with
the temperature, until 1t finally de-
scends. AS 1t strikes the colder
strata Of air the gas will condense and
the airship will fall. When itstrlkes
the warm atmosphere near the earth
1t will expand and the balloon will
again rise. This it will repeat many
times. Then the balloon may be seen
In scores Of places before itcomes near
enough to earth to be made captive.

THE PERPETUAL
WAR

There is always a fight
going on in every human
body between health and dis
ease. On one side are poor
food, bad air, over-work,
worry, colds, accidents. On
the other are sunshine, rest,
cheerfulness and nourish-
ment.
The reason Scott's Emul-
sion fights SO powerfully for
health is because it gives so
much more nourishment than
you can get in any other way.
