PLAYED TO a WHITE AUDIENCE.
First Case of Kind Noted Here Ir
Long Time.

The ''color scheme" displayed In po-
lice court yesterday morning was quite
ont of the ordinary, in that not me-
gro appeared there either as prisoner,
witness or spectator, while four white
men were upon trial and twenty four
whites present either as witnesses or
spectators. If this condition has ever
obtained here before the fact is not re-
corded, as usually there is "negro In
the woodpile" at the sessions of this
tribunal. One or two light fines were
imposed and the session was of little
interest except as to colors represented.

HESTER GOING TO TRAVEL NOW
Notorious Queen of Migrants to The
Changing.

The effect of supreme court decision
rendered yesterday, consjgns Hester
Cody and Oscar Walker, known as
"Slick" Walker, to the changing as
Migrants. The news of this decision
was gratifying to Chief Feagin and the
other officers who worked hard to rid
the city of such characters. The Cody
coon is regarded as the queen bee of
the negro street walkers and Migrants,
aud her departure to the changing is
distinctly gratifying to the officers.
She and Walker were both convicted
at the last term of court upon the
charge of vagrancy. The case was APP
pealed, of course, but the decision yes
tsrday will rid the city of Hester and
her gang for some time, at least.

DISCRIMINATING LADIES.
Enjoy Using Herpicide ON Account OF
It's Distinctiveness.

AAS
The ladies who have used Newbro's
Herpicide speak of it in the highest
terms, for it's quick effect in cleansing
the scalp of dandrMff and also for it's ex-
cellence as a general hair-dressing. 1t
makes the scalp feel fresh and 1T allays
that itching which dandruff will cause.
Newbro's Herpicide effectively cures
dandruff, as it destroys the germ that
causes it. The same germ causes hair to
fall out, and later badness; in killing 1t,
Herpicfde stops falling hair and prevents
badness It is also an ideal hair dress
ing. for it lends an aristocratic charm to
the hair that is quite distinctive. Sold
by leading druggists. Send 1Os. in stamps

AMERICA BREAKS
CONCERT IN CHINA
Preparing a Gold Basis Sub
stitute for Silver
Bond.

PEKIN, April THE American
financial agent at Shanghai recently
submitted to the international finance
commission a silver bond for the
American indemnity, to be presented
to the Chinese representatives for sig
nature. The commission declined to
present the silver bond, whereupon the
United State financial agent forwarded
1t direct to the Chinese. The United
States is said to have withdrawn the
silver bond and is preparing a substi-
tute on a gold basis, which is practi-
cally identical with the japanese bond.
There is a strong feeling among the
other legations against America break
ing the concert. particularly as the
Chinese admit officially that the debt
is on a gold basis. The American pol
icy is intensely unpopular with all
classes of Americans in China.

More Than $500 Settlers
Pass Through st. Paul En-
Route to Points in North
w~est-Another Large Del
egation Expected Today
Railroads Run Special
Trains.

AT least $500 emigrants and home
seekers passed through st. Paul yes
terday, en- route to various points in
the Northwest. Equally as many are
expected today and in anticipation of
the heavy traffic, the Northern Pacific,
Great Northern and 500 lines have
made preparations to run special
trains to North Dakota and coast
cities.
Every train from Chicago yesterday
a a settlers car attached, and it is
estimated that the seven Chicago lines
brought to st. Paul more than two
thirds of the homeseekers The bal
ance of the travellers came from Iowa,
Nebraska, Minnesota, Wisconsin and
a party of 100 hailed from the far
Southwest.
About $500 of the homeseekers were
emigrants, who arrived from Northern
Europe last Saturday. The others are
Americans, who have come into the
Northwest to take UP land.
According to the immigration agents
Of the various railroads n the gov
eminent reports, never in the history
of the country, has such a desirable
class of foreigners come to America
in search of homes. All nave money
and are prepared to take up farms and
equip them Immediately.
Most of the homeseekers, especially
the foreign ones, will locate in North
Dakota, u a large percentage of the
American immigrants will take up
timber claims in Washington, Idaho
and Oregon. About 700 of the home
seekers carried by the 500 line will
settle in the Saskatchewan country,
while others will locate in Manitoba.
So heavy was the emigrant travel
CT the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern roads last night that the
coast trains were run in two sections.
1t was estimated yesterday that the
Great Northern carried 1920 home
seekers, the Northern Pacific 1,500 and
the 500 line 1000. This makes a to-
tai far in excess of the record estab-
lished three weeks ago, when 5000
emigrants were carried through st.
Paul into the Northwest.
Railway men say that the present
season promises to eclipse the phe-
nomenal emigration years prior to the
panic.

COMBINE ELEMENT LAID OUT.
Good Result of the Voting for ST. Louis
House of Delegates.


ST. LOUIS, Mo-, April IA DEM
ocratic victory vas won in today's city
election, the majorities ranging from
5000 to 10000 on the vote for six coun-
cilmen, twenty eight members of the
house Of delegates, members of the
board of education and inspector of
weights and measures. At midnight al
most complete returns showed that
every Democratic candidate had been
elected. The Republicans claim gross
frauds were committed at the polls.
Throughout the state the Democrats
lost in three cities that they formerly
controlled, but made enough gains in
others to fully preserve their. political
equilibrium.
AT st. Louis interest was centered in
the council ticket, which was headed
by the so-called reform ticket on which
the names of Republican or Independ-
ent candidates took the places of some
Democratic candidates for the house of
delegates. 1t is considered that today's
election results make for the purifica-
ton of the ~lawmaking body of the
city and have swept out the combine
element.
The most surprising Democratic gain
was at Kirksville, which had been held
continuously by the Republicans for
more than forty wears.

WILL FIX THEATRICAL RATES.
Western Passenger Association Will Meet
In Chicago Today.

Chairman E. c. Macleod has called a
meeting of the Western Passenger asso-
citation to be held Monday in Chicago,
for the purpose of adjusting and fixing
rates for theatrical parties and railroad
laborerS.
Since the Elkins bill went into effect the
old schedule. has been abandoned, but
many of the roads have given rates. The
ably be the same as tina published a few
days ago by the Omaha. Santa Fe and
Rock Island, which provides for a rate
of ~ cents a mile for troupes of fifty
people and over, 2 cents for companies eX-
ceeding twenty persons, and 2R cents for
companies of ten.
Chairman Mcleod and some of the gen.
eral passenger agents are making siren
uous efforts to have party rates confined
to theatrical people, because if mad
general the government can demand party
rates for the transportation of troops and
marines.
