A YOUTHFUL
HICHWAYMAN

A boy wearing knee breeohes success
fully held up and robbed a woman in
front of the Grove Presbyterian church
on Monday night.
ID was about ten O'Clock when resi-
dents In the vicinity Of the church
were startled by woman's cries, call
ing loudly for help In tones that were
full Of terror and dismay. Several
persons including John and Theodore
Doster and the Rev. DR.. MCCORMACK
rushed to the spot and found young
woman who stated that she had been
held up and robbed OF her purse. The
highwayman, abe described ma a mere
boy. who after taking her purse had
disappeared down the alley leading to
the rear OF the Grove church.
BY thAt time. however, the misore.
ant had attained m safe distance and
o search In the alley afforded no clew.
The darkness prevailing at the spot
made 1t impossible for the lady to
notice her assailant at all closely and
she iseunable to give o good descrip-
tion of him.
The woman robbed-Miss Kate Bey-
ers OF No. 522 Bloom street-was call
cd upon by representative OF this
paper yesterday. She told o remark
able story showing 20 what q deplor-
able degree. depravity. nerve and au.
daoity exist in at least one boy. who
was enabled to plan and execute a
hold.up unaided.
She had been to Hunters Park, she
said, and was returning home up Bloom
street alone. She had with her small
sum OF money approximatinR half q
dollar. which was contained In purse
suspended from her belt by q chain.
When near the Third Ward School
House she noticed boy walking near.
She unfortunately noted nothing close.
iy about him, but distinctly remem.
bers that he wore knee breeches and a
sailor hat.
The boy passed her and when just
east OF the railroad crossing he step
ped over TO the opposite side of Bloom
street. Miss Beyers unsuspecting harm
kept ON her way toward home AS she
approached the church the boy recross-
ed the street and come up with her
just as she arrived opposite the iron
gate.
"Give me that pocket book - he
gruffly demanded and at the same mo-
ment snatohed the woman's purse.
Miss Byers instinotively grasped the
purse herself and In the brief struggle

Bloom street In front OF the Grove
Church is one Of the most poorly light
ed spots i'm town and is very mach |
dreaded at night. A movement was
set ON foot yesterday. which has as It's |
object the secoring Of more light.
Council at it's next meeting will be |
appealed to to make some action which |
will at once relieve the situation.

COUNCIL IN EX.
ECUTIVE SESSION

As anticipated in these columns the
Borough Council held busy session
Friday, but the greater part of it
took place behind closed doors A
large number of bids were on hand
covering both tho spaciG, ations for
street paving and for the electric light
plant and the councilmen preferred to
consider them in executive session.
The council chamber presented an
unusual aud business-like appearance.
4 large portion of the floor space was
taken mp with samples of paving brick
and the plans for the light plant oc-
cupied prominent place, while the
comfortable arm chairs along the three
sides of the room were occupied with
strange faces, men representing the
different paving firms and electric
light concerns that were bidding.
There were some eighteen of these
representatives present along with a
good many of our townsmen who had
crowded into the room.
Treasurer Ellenbogen presented a
statement of finances to date. which
showed a total cash balance of 50, OCT.

Ga motion of Mr. VaStine it was
ordered that $1,000 be paid to D. J.
Rogers on account of culvert contract.
Mr.. Reifsnyder of the Committee on
Streets and Bridges reported the Mill
street culvert as approaching compile
tion. Work is at present held up by
changes rendered necessary in the gas
and water pipe. 1t will be finished in
few days
Mr.. Fenstermacher moved that the
Water Commissioners be authorized to
proceed to erect retaining wall along
tho river bank at the Water Works.
Mr.. Swank seconded the motion.
Messrs. ReIfsnyder, Goeser and Vas
tine did not approve of Council thus
surrendering its authority to the Wat
er Commissioners. Such work, they
held, should rest wholly with Council
which should see to it that estimates
are properly made and contract award
ed TO lowest bidder. The question was
put to a vote and was lost The wall
will be considered later.
On motion of Mr.. Goeser the quart
erly appropriation due the Firemen
was ordered paid.
Mr. Vastine moved that Council go
into executive session to open and con-
slider the bids for street paving and an
electric light plant. Mr. Swank Sec
Onded the motion. Mr.. Lloyd objected |

referring to the candidates fol-
Auditor, Secretary of State, ETC.:
81 feel grateful to Mr.. Mitchell
and his friends for their assist
ance. Besides this, he is a clever
gentleman, and there would be no
explanations nor apologies neces-
sary if his name is put on the
ticket as the nominee for Secretary
of State. For similar reasons |
feel friendly to Judge Cowgirl as
a candidate for Treasurer"
And will there be "no explana-
tons or apologies" necessary for
the head of the ticket? He has
been repeatedly publicly charged
with fraud and dishonesty, and up
to date has offered neither denial,
explanation nor apology, although
challenged and dared to appeal
to the courts for redress. Will
''no explanation or apology" be
required from him when the cam
paign is on, and every Repub-
lican sheet which has aided in
his nomination will be yelping
and barking at his heels? l am
good enough Democrat to accept
the decision OF my party, but l, as
a Democrat, in behalf of the good
name of that party, will not cease
demanding that conclusive ex-
PLANTATION and refutation be made
by its candidate for Governor.
Can the Apostles of Righteous
ness-of whom Mr.. V. is chief

o'clock A. NJ, James H. Clark,
aged 63 years, 4 months and 1 day.
The funeral was held Monday,
from the residence, and at 1:3O P.

the final disposition of the remains
of him whom we had known sd
many years as neighbor and
friend. The great assemblage
testified to the esteem in which the
deceased was held, as we'll as the
sympathy felt for those suffering
from life's gravest misfortune.
Mr.. Clark was born and reared
in st. Francois county, but for
thirty three years he was continu-
ously a resident of Ironton. Dur
ing that time he had engaged in
various business pursuits success
fully and accumulated a fortune.
The care of this occupied his later
years. He was a devoted hus-
band, and the home life was all
mall to him. He will be long re-
membered and his absence re-
GREETED by those who knew him as
neighbor and friend; but | am
thinking of her upon whom the
blow of misfortune has fallen with
crushing weight. / shall attempt
no vain words of comfort, but per-
haps to her the knowledge that
there are many friends who mourn

time work a palliation Of hel
weight of woe. May the coming
years bring to her all of peace and
happiness that may pertain to a
life so bereft.

The Folk push, with all their
loud-mouthed pretended desire to
obtain the will of the people
through the primary, have shut off,
wherever they could, any express
sion as to the choice of the rank
and file for all State candidates
except Governor. They did this
by trickery and slick practice, |
say, wherever they could capture
the party machinery. Now, the
Almighty Vandiver has issued his
command that Cook and Allen
must not 60 on the ticket, be-
cause, forsooth, their friends in
some instances are not Folk ador-
ers. The uninstructed delegations
-uninstructed because the people
were cheated Of the opportunity to
instruct, in many instances-are

THE Missouri State Building at
the Worlds Fair will be dedicated
on Friday, June Sd, with appro-
pirate ceremonies, a notable mill
tary parade and addresses by some
of the most distinguished speakers
in the State. The Missouri Com
mission is making special efforts
to have the occasion one of large
significance. Gov. A. M. Dockery,
United States Senators F. M.
Cockrell and VIM. j. Stone, former
United States Senator George G.
Vest, and each of the fifteen MEM
bers of the National House of Rep
resentatives from Missouri are eX-

brief addresses. Special musical
programme will be arranged. The
military parade, including Battery

Guards of Missouri, the Philippine
Scouts and the West Point Cadets
will lend an appropriate touch of
color to the day, making the first
military diplay of the Fair period.
The details of the programme will
be announced later through the
press, but the general outlines
given are sufficient to show the i'm
portance and attractiveness of the
occasion.

OF all the names suggested for
the Democratic nomination for
President, it seems to me that of
Gen. Nelson A. Miles carries with
it strength as well as principle.
Although bred a soldier, and dis
tinguished in his profession, he is
a deprecator of wal and an ardent
advocate for peace. His nominal
ton would harmonic the contend

the campaign beyond the reach of
