His Written Tale of Brib-
cry, Corruption and Deceit

ST. LOUIS, Oct. s.-In q written
confession to-day Charles F. Kelly.
Speaker OF the House Of Delegates
during q period Of the life of the
bcodle combine, relates the story Of
that combine. He declares that a
prominent local politician promised
himself and others implicated that the
next Circuit Attorney would be. all
right" and promised II they would re-
main firm he would secure for them
either continuances until the new Cir
cult Attorney took Office or pardons az
terward. He declares that the poliu-
clan said the new Circuit Attorney, for
which Office nominations are TO be
made By the Democrats to-day, would
be his man" Kelly declares he re-
fused this offer and he makes this
confession 10 satisfy the pangs Of an
accusing conscience, 70 obey the re-
quests Of his wife and 10 do what he
can 70 make atOnement 10 the public
and prevent other young men from
following the path which he declares
has led him 10 ruin.
In the course Of his confession Kelly
details the story Of the city lighting
deal, for which a Doodle fund Of
t47.5oO was divided among the nine
teen members Of the combine at Julius
Lehmann's birthday party. He de-
clares that the prominent politician
gave him the Doodle fund, that he
took Il to Lehmann's house and that
he there divided Il. Kelly writes:
I know from my own knowledge and from
the statements made 70 by those On the
inside that bribery has been going On in the
Municipal Assembly OF St. Louis for the past
twenty-five years. Hardly biu passed that
body n the last quarter Of a century unless
& was czfd for We did not fear exposure and
punishment. for the reason that We believed
that no one would dare 70 do Il In case OF
attack we knew most OF the politicians and

Four Nominations
for Superior
Judges.

Smashes in the face and kicks in the
abdomen enlivened the finish of the
Democratic municipal convention at
Pioneer Hall last night Big Jim
Welch, who holds q job on the fire
tug of the Harbor Commission, spoke
TO Supervisor Sam Braunhart, who was
standing on the floor Of the convention
near the platform. The latter did not
reply, whereupon Welch smashed the
Supervisor on the jaw, the most in
vulnerable section of his anatomy
The blow staggered Braunhart and
enraged State Senator Joseph NJ.
Plunkett A speedy mixup resulted.
The Senator landed quickly on Welch's
face, and the latter went to the floor.
where he received considerable pun
ishment about his head and ribs before
the police could intervene.
In contrast with this engagement,
other proceedings of the convention
were quite monotonous. The delegates
heartily indorsed Judge Dooling, the
Court, but no cheers or words of COM
mendation were given for the Demo-
cratic nominees for Congress, W. j.
Wynn and z. ]. Livernash.
As predicted in The Call yesterday
morning, Murasky. Seawell. White and
Conlan were nominated for the Su-
perior bench. Gavin McNab attended

The United States grand jury has completed its labors and adjourned. The charge against McClung and Me- Mahon was ignored. They were sup posed to be prize fighters. Juan Can delaria pleaded guilt y to occupying grazing lands on forest reserve and will pay $50 for so doing. The case of Sam Miller, who was indicted for cut ting wood on government land without permit, was passed for the term. The hackneyed of selling whiskey to an Indian was up of course to the grand jury, and Pablo Corona was in- dicted for that offense. The term of the United States court will be very brief one.

Governor Brodie has appointed Judge Joseph H. Kibbey attorney gen. eral to succeed Judge E. w Wells, whose resignation had been submitted the day before. Judge Wells found that while the duties of the office were not very onerous for the most of the year, at times they made it impossible for him to give the time necessary to his own extensive private business. This particularly so during legisla- tive sessions, when the constant pres ence of the attorney general is almost absolutely necessary. There are also frequent calls upon him at times of important board meetings at the capi- tai, so that it often becomes necessary for Judge Wells to leave his home and business at Prescott when he could i'll afford to do so His intention to re- sign was precipitated by the near ap- proach of the legislative session. The selection by the governor of Judge Kibbey to fill the vacancy is a recog- nItion of his ability and judgment as an adviser. Like Judge Wells he is an old resident of the territory, for mer member of the supreme bench of the territory and familiar with terri torial conditions. He will enter upon his duties at once. ce.-lSepublicap.

Territorial Auditor Christy, who is also territorial bank comptroller, says he is not able to state the condition of affairs at Yuma bank, which recently closed its doors. The bank is now in the hands of the sheriff and receiver has not yet been appointed by the court. President Patterson of the bank it in Yuma at the present time and with the aid of several of the principal stockholders is trying to re- organize the institution so that it may open its doors in the near future. It appears that the recent hard times and some poor investments have been the cause of the state of affairs at Yuma Mir. Patterson was away for two months at a critical time and Cashier Bowles became disheartened at the condition the bank was in and closed the doors, writing to Comp troller Christy to come 10 Yuma and take the bank in hand. If the pro- posed reorganization of the bank goes through successfully it is probable that none of the depositors will lose anything. Enterprise.

Fred R. Clark of Grand Rapids, Mich, filed sensational suit Monday against the Bisbee Copper Develop ment company, A. s. Burrows and H.. W. Campbell, both of Boston, claim ing the restoration of a board of di- rectors who pretended giving Bur rows, the president of the company, an option to sell five thousand shares to Campbell. Clark asked to obtain an injunction restraining the transfer or issuance of said stock to any per sons. The claims embrace the Union and Ivanhoe groups and are very val uable. They adjoin the Bonanza Cir cle group and the suit invslves half a million dollars. The shares involved were to be disposed of to Detro it, Bos. ton and New York capitalists.

There is general movement through out the territory which has for it's purpose the crystalizing of sentiment in favor of congressional enactment against gambling in the territories. The church is leading the movement, which means the cooperation of the church throughout the states.

Judge Kent Tuesday handed down his decision in the case Of w w. Cook, who asked for a mandamus to prevent the county board of super visors from certifying to the election of J. Elliott Walker as sheriff of the county, the finding being for the de- fendants, consequently Mr Walker has been declared duly elected and now holds his commission. Judge Rents opinion was very brief, no comment on the case being made.

DEVELOP MENTS
ARE TAGGING
Number of Wells Are Drilling in Harri-
son and Wetzel Counties, But Only
Small Producers Are Promised.

FiSd developments are still tagging.
Few evils are being completed and one
OF any particular significance as to size
or location. nj the Wetzel and Harri-
son county district number OF wells are
drilling in the sand, but the outlook for
anything better than small producers is
not promising.
In the Folsom district, the South Penn
Oil company mas drilled its ON. on the
NJ. p. Dye farm As feet into the stray
and got a little increase in gas, but no
oil. In the same district, No. 2 on the
Catherine Barker farm has been drilled
30 feet into the stray and has developed
no oil
In the Salem district, in this county
the South Penn has drilled it's test on
the G. II. West farm % feet into the
Gordon and the well produced 20 barrels
the first "a hours.
In the same district, ON. 10 on the NJ.
I. Williams farm has been completed
and will make a small pumper.

'Steel roll curtains, wide exits, no com
bustibles OF any kind in the house fur
nishings, fire PROCEED scenery, no calcium
or spot lights to be used on the stage,
sky lights above the stage provided with
automatic lids TO permit the esress OF
smoke, fire and gas, separate stairways-
each exit having its own stairs leading

and punish for violations of tie laws

palling thing to happen in Olarksburg.
but that is no reason it will not occur
and 1t is the duty of both the city coun.
oil and lthesrter management to take rea.
