DOING BUSINESS AT OLD STAND.

The recrudescence of the St. Louis
boodling combine will surprise no.
body, says the Minneapolis Tribune.
It is perfectly natural consequence
OF the release Of the convicted hood
lers by the supreme court of Missouri.
That amazing proceeding puts the
seal of approval Of the highest judicial
authority of the state upon perjury
and bribery, safe of municipal legis-
lation to the highest bidder and
purchase of votes in the open mar
ket. The strange thing would be if
sthe boodlers did NOT raise their heads
and begin to hawk their votes around
among municipal corporations seeking
legislation. .. s,@M q. n
We don t know whether or not the
bribers and perjurers convicted and
sent to the penitentiary by Mr. Folk,
only to be released by the supreme
court, have returned to their seats in
the council chamoer, panoplied in
judicial immunity and ready to make
up for lost time by holding up the
corporations more briskly than ever.
We believe that Colonel Butler, who
was the bribe broker with most ex-
tensive business connections, and
whom the suprt me court released and
wlndicated first Of all, managed his
appeal and bail bonds SO we'll that
he never enjoyed the hospitality of
1.-The penitentiary. ........ ,.-.
ZEE I'VE are right about this, probably
! he has been in st. Louis all the time,
= with orders accommodating on his hands
to pe carried out when the boodling
contingent returned to the council. This
: would explain the unusual ACTIVITY in
<.HoSe and franchise trade just now.
There must be some pus lie virtue Of
rath,r .turdy sort in st. Louis,
becaule the grand jury is' said to DC
investigating this new discovery Of
boodling just as enthusiastically as il
the supreme court had not brought te
nothing all its work Of last year.

extensive pulp pollution during dry
summer seasons The work which it
is now proposed to undertake will be
directed toward a definite determine
ton of the effect of wood pulp wastes
upon natural waters This problem
is br BAD one and is receiving con
siderable attention in those parts Of
the United States where pulp mills
have been located, and it is OBTAIN
ing especially prominent notice in
the vicinity of Lake Champaign. The
plans made contemplate a precise de-
termination Of the character Of sui.
phite and soda pulp wastes, and their
stability. It is important to know
whether the waste is of itself highly
putresoible, or whether it has charac-
teristics similar to those Of straw.

WAS A BATTLE OF GIANTS
Beauty and chivaIry of the Old South Assembled to Witness Struggle on Turf Between Louisiana
 and Kentucky.
BY A. E. cAFFEE.

After his unlucky defeat by Fashion, Boston, like the Grecian Achilles, was, If metaphor is permitted, "sulking in his tent" at Union Course, Long Island. And too. like the warlke son of silver-footed rhetis, he soon emerged from his lugu- brious mood and salied forth to send to the shades of the Elysian Fields the Hec- tors of the turf.
 Three days after his defeat by Fashion, he met Mariner, a brother to Fashion, al four mile heats over the same course. Boston won with imperious stride. An authority of that day says: Just as they passed the draw gate one of Bostons rubbers, big. black negro. ran up close to him, and, yelling, threw his cap at him with all his might. Such burst of speed as he showed for the remaining distance to the wire was never seen be- fore. Whether Il was the shout or the fright from the cap, Boston heightened his stride until he was covering twenty four feet at every bound, and won the heat with ease"
 'lt was naturally argued. and 1t would seem with reason, that Boston could
 
 Fashion. And had Fashion been pitted against hn three days later instead of her brother, Mariner. thele would have been 100 tY l laid against her after Bos- ton shovel the terrific flash of speed from the call Of his stable boy"
 All seem to agree, however, that he was an obstinate, self-willed old fellow in this, his ninth year; had mind of his own Possibye, this quality of the mind, ,ff1 rYlf q fn 1gI humans, accounts largely for Boston's greatness living and his fame dead.
 Boston began d brilliant racing career on his home track at Petersburg, Va, when two years old. He closed it on the same track when ten years old by de- feating Black Dick for the Jockey Club purse at three mile heats. He first saw the light in 1888. When this little white nose fellow ambled around his patrican chestnut mother upon trembling legs and took his first blinking. wondering look across the green pastures of a world that was new to him. A king had been born. standing upon unsteady limbs that were to bear him to victory in the presence of admiring, shouting thousands on every noted race course in the land.
 The end of him is written; he lies under the sod of Old Virginia. at Petersburg, but of his sons and daughters and their sons and daughters, their crown of tr- umph on the American and English turf is resplendent with the brightest jewels that sparkle there.
 And Colonel William R. Johnson, too, Is long under the daisies. Did he race horses after Boston's retirement, you lsk? But there was but one Boston. The die was broken that moulded him: and there never was he same erect, proud defiant yet courte- Jus and kindly gentleman of the white nar, who smiled and said in his suave,
