purpose of selecting furnish

The Buckingham is one of:
the finest structures hoteldom!

Fair city, or, in fact, in this;
part of the west, and Mr.. Sage!
is unusually fortunate in being,
selected as manager of the .
house, for there were dozens of ,
for the positionE
and some of them came from!
men much older and more ex-
perienced in hotel work than!
the gentleman in question.
The Buckingham is a modern
eight-story structure built of
brick, and fire-proof as far as
possible. 1t is located on the
corner of Kings Highway and,
West Pine Boulevard, which is,
one of the fashionable and arr
istocratic districts OF the city.
The building was erected ly,

The entire roof of the build }

MIR. Sage says he will opens
the club about May first, and isl

much to be done towards sett-

ST Petersburg, Nov. 26.-The food which
has caused so much damage here was
the biggest since 1894. The intense cold
is causing much distress among the
homeless and the jewellers in cellars In
the factory quarter 2O.coO persons have

The authorities are doing everything in
their power to relieve the sufferers, and
there have been few fatalities.
A pathetic case was that of parents,
hurrying home at the sound Of warning
guns, who found their children drowned.
The destruction OF property was heavy,

1O4 feet TO the mile and helper engines
are necessary. The elimination of this
trackage from overland traffic will thus
mean a saving of more than 81 800 day in
the actual operating expenses and saw
ing of two hours in running time.
The original scheme for the cutoff was
pet plan of the late Coils P Hunting
ton and under his directions Chief En-
gineer Hood prepared the plans for the
great engineering feat. The plans were
completed after Mr. HuntingtonS deatn
and the surveys were approved by T. IL
Hartman when he obtained control OF
the line Actual work on the cutoff was
commenced in March, 1902, and thus the
immense task has been completed in about
twenty months The last pile was driven
during the last week OF October; the
track was completely connected and the
flooring and railing Of the long tresue
completed today. but work on the fill-lns
at either end OF the trestle will continue
for some time and it probably will be
several months before the cutoff is in
corporated in the overland system for
all traffic The great work has cost

BRIBERY AT PRIMARIES.
Law Does Not Cover 1t, Says the Cir
cult Court

Salem, Mo. Nov. 26.-The local bribery
cases against Senator Frank II. Farris,
Senator J. B. Harrison, j. w. Callahan,
and Taylor Lenox were dismissed at the
special term of the Dent county circuit
court.
Judge J. T. Neville. of Springfield. Mo-,
who was called in to preside over the
court when Judge L. B. Woodside was
disqualified, sustained motion to quash
the cases on the ground that the stat
utes covering bribery at elections did
not apply to primary elections.
This ends the cases, so that there will
hvge no further prosecutions. These cases,
however, have no relations to the cases
at jefferson City.
According to this decision, man may
do all the bribing he pleases. may buy all
the votes he desires at a primary election,
and he will not be amenabie to the law,
since it is no violation of any statute.
The indictment against Senator Farris,
charged that he gave 500 to J. w Gala
han to induce Callahan to come out as
candidate from Dent county for the
Democratic nomination for state senator
from the Twenty-fourth district. The OBJ
ject, as charged in the Indictment was to
control the Dent county delegation II
| place of ]. +. Organ. to whom the county
/ seemed to lean. Callahan, it was sci
forth, was to turn the delegation over &c
Farris in the convention and thus insure
the latters nomination.
The indictment against Callahan
charged him with accepting bride OF
$500 to assist Farris in capturing the
Democratic nomination for senator.
The bills against Taylor Leno1 and Sen
ator Harrison charged them with bribins
voters at the congressional primary held
/ in Dent county, April 7. 1902.
/ Before a jury was selected in any Of
| the cases. l. +. Parker, attorney for thu
/ defendants filed a motion before Judge
4 Neville setting forth that the statute:
/ did not cover bribery at primary elec
tions and the court sustained the mo-
/ ton.
The defendants claim, however, tina
/ had the court upheld the indictments
/ they would have been acquitted, as they
claim that the state could not have made
/ its case in any instance.
