COLD WAVE SIDE TRACKED.
Waiting a Chance to Reach st.

"Coneested weather traffic" is the ex.
PLANTATION of the nonappearance of the
lower temperature which was scheduled to
arrive in st. Louis last night. and which
is still predicted to arrive within the next
twenty-four hours.
Weather conditions are somewhat like
freight trains. They may b. loaded and
started, but II there are obstructions
ahead they do not arrive on schedule time.
The warm wave that has enveloped St.
Louis is doing the best it can to push its
way eastward against a blockade of cold
before 1t. Another cargo of cold storage
is side tracked up in Minnesota and Wis
consin, with a block signal against It,
which will probably be removed to-day
and permit it to reach ST. Louis tonight
or Monday. 1t Is still there waiting a
nance to get into the St. Louis station.

Weather Department says that mo cold

The device IS a simple one. 1t is a slot

mechanism of the machine IS released and

money taken in. When the coin is dropped

Ter himself is now deemed one of the most
a~stutely conducted points. At Columbia
Butler. becoming somewhat excited, him
self "overruied" an objection raised by
his attorneys and stated much about his

AT Fulton the questions were all writ
ten out in advance by Attorney Rowe.
David II. Harris, with these as a guide.
conducted the examination.
The idea was that. If Il ST. Louis attor-
ney had done the examining. the jury
might have thought that the whole thing
was framed up; whereas, the impress
sion created by a man of their county
would be favorable rather than unfavor-
able. So Harris did the questioning. and
Butler told only that which was asked of
him. Thus no openings were allowed the
Circuit Attorney.
Permitting Harris to make the final ar
sument for the defendant Is also spoken
of as a good move. The address was not

Charges Based on Ground That
Concern Is a Trust and Has
Violated Statutes Regard
ing Bribery.


REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Jefferson City, Mo. Feb. 6.-The story
was prevalent here to-day that a proceed.
ing would be instituted in a few days In
the Supreme Court by the Attorney Gen.
eral in the nature of an custer against the
Royal Baking Powder Company of New
York, 70 bar i, from doing business in
Missouri on account of a violation of the
State statutes pertaining TO trusts and
monorolies. and likewise on account of a
violation Of the State criminal statutes
respecting the bribing of public officials.
PAPERS BEING PREPARED.
The report is that the papers in the case
are being prepared in the office of the At
torney General against the corporation. Of
which William Ziegler of New York Is
president. ard will be filed shortly in the
Supreme Court.
Such a proceeding would be instituted
in the same manner as the proceeding in
stituted against the insurance companies
and the beef-packing companies. in both
of which instances Attorney General Crow
was successful.
1t is said that the facts necessary to be
shown to prove hat the Royal Baking
Powder Company is guilty of violating the
criminal statute in relation to bribery can
he proved by the evidence adduced in the
Missouri bribery trials against the legis-
lators.
William Ziegler successfully evaded an
effort made by the Missouri authorities to
bring him back to Missouri to stand trial
on an Indictment found against him by
the Cole County Grand Jury on the charge
of bribery.
TO BE FILED IN ANY EVENT.
1t Is said that the contemplated custer
proceedings would have been filed against
the company after the case against Mr..
Zeigler had been disposed of. had it been
possible to get him back. Failing In that,
the Attorney General decided to begin
proceedings against the company at once.
Attorney General Crow has not yet re-
turned from California, although he Is
expected In about a week. His assistant,
Mr.. Sam B. Jeffr1es. returned to-day from |
Chicago, and would neither affirm nor |
deny the report that he was busy prepar-
ing an custer proceeding against the New
York corporation.

The rate has declined almost stead

1882, and less than LOCO IN 1902-the

Mouth wash.

The close connection between de-
eayed teeth and diseases Of the 6iges-
don Is pointed out BY q medical writer.
The presence Of free acids IN the
mouth Is particularly harmful These
may come from various sources, but
most commonly from the acid fermen-
tatiOn o. the earbO-hydrate food
lodged on or between the teeth at the
gums. and due to the action Of mico-
organisms present In the mouth.
Normally the saliva Is alkaline, and
any acids produced in the ereVices of
the teeth are thus neutralized
and decay prevented There are
two conditions under which the saliva
Is unable to neutralize the acids pro-
duced locally-namely: First, when Il
is deficient In alkalinity, and, second,
when It is deficient in quantity. As to
the former Il Is well known that the
saliva becomes less alkaline or even
acid in any condition Of prolonged
gastric digestion, q phenomenon which
occurs In nearly all cases Of dyspepsia
Moreover, the teeth when decayed
further tend to keep up the state OF
chronic dyspepsia by rendering masti-
cation imperfect A vicious circle Is
thus established. To obViate this form
Of dental disease the teeth should be
washed frequently with a solution Of
which one Of the ingredients is biear-
Donate Of soda. This may prevent one
