ST. IOuis,

St. Louis, April s.-The democrats
have made another clean sweep in St.
Louis. The democratic city council

cratic ticket also go in.
Conservative estimates place the
democratic majority at about $4,000.
About 5000 votes were cast. Thir-
teen of the men elected can be count
ed upon to stand by the administra-
ton of Mayor Wells and not enter
into any combinations. The repub-
licans elected only five nominees for
the house of delegates-Witthoefft in
the Second, Hammerstein in the
Twelfth, Weeke in the Seventeenth,
Birge in the Twenty-seventh and
Lakeland in the Twenty-eighth. Will
lam A. Block, independent nominee II

COL. ]. E. MACGOWAN DEAD.
Timmes Passes Away at His
Home on Missionary Ridge.

Chattanooga, Tenn, April 13.-Col.
j. E. MACEDONIAN, the veteran editor
in-chief of the Chattanooga Times and
one of the Oldest and best-known
newspaper men in the south, died Sum
day afternoon at his home on Mission
airy Ridge, this city. Col. MacGowan's
health began to fail about two
months ago and an attack of la grippe
brought on a complication of diseases
which caused his death. He was
brought back from Thomasville, Ga
with the hope that his life might be
prolonged by the climate to which he
was so well accustomed. But he be-
gan sinking Saturday night and con-
tinued to grow worse until this after
noon when he passed away, surround
ed by the immediate members of his
family.
The death of Col. MACEDONIAN re
moves a man who has been actively
engaged in southern journalism from
early reconstruction days. He was
born in Ohio, September 80, 1881, and
when a young man practiced law in
both Iowa and his native state. His
newspaper career began in 1872 when
he became associate editor of the
Chattanooga Times. Six years later
he became that papers editor-in-chief
holding that position until two

GOING OUT OF COMMISSION.
Damage to the BattIeship Iowa
Found to be Greater Than at
First Reported.

Pensacola, Fla, April 1.-THE dam.
age to the battleship Iowa eau .c,l by
the premature eXplo sion of a sna..l in
the forward port 12-inch gun has de.
veloped to be more serious than was
thought when the first examination
was made and as a consequence the
big ship has been ordered to the New
York navy yard to go out of commits
sion. She steamed down to the Pen
sacola navy yard Friday, where she
is fitting out with supplies and coal
preparatory to sailing as soon as pos.
sible to the north.
1t is known that three decks, includ'
ing the upper deck in the forward
part of the ship, will have to be en-
tirely removed and rebuilt. 1t is
feared that the steel supports under
the 12-inch port turret are sprung to
such an extent that they will have to
be removed, though this can not yet
be stated positively. The gun itself is
q hopeless wreck. Although the gun
which burst went into numberless
pieces the end of the gun is as smooth
as if it had been turned out of a shop,
and except that it is about twelve
feet shorter than the starboard gun
it is hardly noticeable that an explc-
sion occurred. According to the rec
ord of the exploded gun, it was good
for at least another year of service,
and reports that the gun had beer
condemned are without foundation.

A GOOD MOVE IN NEW JERSEY
Plays that Glorify Crime and Grim
inals Wkll be Barred From
jersey City, N. J..

Jersey City, N. j., April s.-Prosecu'
tor speer, in reply to a request from
Chief of Police Murphy for an official
opinion as to the latter's power to
stop theatrical performances tending
to glorify criminals, says:
IF the performance is designed,
and has a clear tendency to elevate
vice and degrade virtue and to furnish
a glittering and attractive entice-
ment to youth to enter upon a career
of vice and crime, it is corruptive OF
public morals and indictable as a pub
lie nuisance. Plays which shock the
public sense of decency and incite ia
crime are indictable at common law
and under New Jersey statutes"
Plays founded upon the Biddle
Brothers case and the exploits of the
Oregon outlaw, Tracy, were the cause
| of the chiefs action. He Gays that
after this week theatrical managers
who present such pieces will he pros

THE REIGN OF KING GRAFT.
Post Office Inspectors Investigating
Alleged Sales of Promotions and
Transfers in Office.

Washington, April 12.-Post-office
inspectors are busily investigating
charges that a ring has existed in the
department for the sale of promo
tons and transfers in the department
generally, but especially in, the New
York post office.
The charges are written and signed
by a name which may or may not be
fictitious. Since the first letter with
the charges was received there have
been several others substantiating it,
but whether these letters are from in
dependent sources is not known.
According to the charges, the ring
in the New York post office was thor
oughly organized and did business on
the same basis as that of the New
York police ring, which sold all pro-
motions for a stated sum-, and then
regularly collected a percentage of
the increased pay through a collector
who was well known and was paid
for his trouble by commissions on the
amounts he received. The balance in
New York, it is said, was turned over
to the men at the head of the scheme
who had sufficient influence to make
the promotions.

WORLDS FAIR WILD NEST.
One Hundred Thousand Dollars to be
Expended on the Ameri-
can Indian Exhibit.
WILL Be SOME SPECTACULAR FEATURES.
Representatives of All the Indian
ribes Who Had Their Home In
the Louisiana Purchase Will be
Rounded Up-The Last Grand Col
lection of Real Blanket Indians

Washington. April 12.--St. Louis
will have a Wild West show in connec'
ton with the government Indian eX'
hibit at the Louisiana Purchase expo
sition. Capt. Tonner, acting commits
sioner of Indian affairs, has received
a letter from st. Louis stating that
the exposition officials had agreed tc
make an appropriation of 100000 to
supplement the appropriation of $40,
900 made by the government for an
Indian exhibit. This will make $780,
600 available for this feature of the
exposition. and will enable the secre'
tary of the interior to provide som
spectacular features in connection
with the Indian exhibit.
1t was decided some time ago by
Mr.. Jones, commissioner of Indian af.
fairs, after a consultation with Sec
rotary Hitchcock, that the exhibit
would be confined to a showing of the
progress made in the Indian schools
unless the exposition authorities made
an additional appropriation for the
spectacular features. Mr.. s.. NJ. Nc
Gowan, representing the interior de-
partment, who is now in St. Louis
has informed the department of the
action of the exposition officials.
Plans for the exhibit will be under
taken as soon as the agreement be-
tween the department and the expo,
rs4s-u ~Hsn,.1, L,, loa~ forr,n1lxv on.
tered into. Officials of the Indian
bureau will undertake to collect rep
resentatives of all Indian tribes that
had their home in the Louisiana Pur.
chase. This will include all of the
~well-known tribes, the Arapahoes,
Apaches, Cheyennes, Crows, Utes,
Pueblos, Flatheads and Sioux. The
members of the five civilized tribes
in the Indian territory, were removed
from the east and south after the
Louisiana purchase.
There will probably be an arrange
ment of games, feats of skill anc
dances peculiar to the different tribes
although it can not be yet determined
just how far the department will bt
willing to go in preparing for this
form of entertainment. The policy
of the Indian bureau is pronounced
against encouragement of this class
of exhibitions, as experience has
shown that they have a demoralizine
effect upon the Indians.
Officials of the bureau feel, however
that this will be the last opportunity
for a collection of the real blanke'
Indians, whose numbers are growing
rapidly less each year. They are will
ing to encourage this feature of tn
exposition, believing that it will b.
the last opportunity that will be af
forded to any considerable humble
of people to see the Indian as he ex
listed half a century ago, when tn
Louisiana purchase was young.

MAKING CAREFUL INQUIRY
Leaking Fro the Rural Free

Washington, April 13.-Post office
inspectors engaged in the investiga-
ton of department affairs will make a
careful inquiry into the charges that
certain wagon manufacturers have
been given preference in advance in
formation about the estimate of rural
free delivery routes, Those charges
come from a firm in Peoria, Ill. Mr..
A. w. Machen, superintendent of the
free delivery bureau said: I'VE have
been very careful in enforcing a rule
in the free delivery division that no
advance information about the estab-
lishment of routes shall be given. L
can not say what anyone of about 1876
men may actually have done in a
given instance, but l know they all
have instructions not to furnish adj
vance information and hat they know
the the giving of such information
would be under penalty of dismissal
from the service"

pie of Chicago. 1t was the hardes
battle I ever had, and l am proud t.
