THE CHIEF BoLTER.
Tn Missouri Legislature Did Something
 Forty Years Ago.

In Missouri Legislature Did Something Forty Years Ago.
 Jefferson City (Mo.) Special.
 Thomas K. Niedringhaus never will reach the United States Senate, even though he is the caucus nominee of the party now in power in Missouri if omens have any virtue. To the super stitious among the legislators he is as good as beaten now.
 It was recalled today that John L.. BittinRer, who led the bolt in the Re- publican ranks Wednesday, did identi- cally the same thing forty-two years ago almost to a day. His secession then led to the selection of John B. Henderson for the long term in the Senate. while B. Gratz Brown, the caucus nominee. was forced to accept the short tenure. Then as now he con- trolled the situation with the aid of five others.
 To carry out the ominous similarity, BittinRer occupies the same room in the McCarty House he occupied then. the same woman attends his apartment and the same heating stove warns the place. Conferences are held in his room, as they were more than two score years ago.
 'It's all of with Niedringhaus," the slangy legislators are saying tonight.
 Tt certainly looks bad" admit the candidates friends.
 The bolters are grtmly silent.

MONTGOMERY NONOGENARIAN
 WHO LIVES MUCH IN OPEN AIR
Charles P. Bohlae Came Here in I33o--He Talks with Earnest of Early Days
 of This Section.

Boblae lived for several months in New York. From there he came to Mont gomery where he opened a shoe store on South Court Street between the Square and Washington Street. He speaks dryly and humorously of his first appearahce in Montgomery.
 T came on a steamboat" he says, .'atid landed at the wharf at the foot of Commerce Street And the mud of Commerce Street. it was so deep. It was more than foot deep My feet got caught in the mud and one of my shoes was pulled off. That's the way went up town. one shoe on and one shoe off
 How Court Square Looked.
 "The mud was frightful on Commerce Street in those days. If a merchant wanted to haul. a barrel Of sugar from the river he would have to hitch four mules to the wagon and then the wagon would get stuck in the mud. All the business was done by steamboat then, you know. Five and six steamboats a day would sometimes come to the wharf.
 ''The first court house was standing on Court Square where the fountain is now. could tell you exactly how 1t looked. The Planters Exchange stood right where the old Exchange stood and where the new hotel is being built. The McGee Hotel had just burned down before got to Montgomery. It was on the opposite side of the street from the, Exchange and stretched from Court Square along Montgomery Street to Lee Street. The Crommelip brothers bought this ground and built it up In stores. There were a few stores around Court Square most of them wooden buildings and a few more up Dexter Avenue near the Square.

 An old gentlemen with q sturdy round figure in spite of his weight of years lifts hat courteously to each of his passing acquaintance. It mat ters not whether the first salutation comes from a lady or from a gentle men the old niaa keeps alive, the state ly and polite customs of over a half century ago. A half a hundred times this little scene. the old gentleman raising his hat in a stately way alike to men and ladies was witnessed on the streets of Montgomery last Sun day afternoon.
 It was bitterly cold. The mercury was four degrees below freezing point. The most of Montgomery's people were glad to hover close In doors over a coal fire. A few of the most hardy were out In the. too bracing air. And prominent among them was this old gentleman. over 90 years old. taking an afternoon constitutional, as though the afternoon had been the flag end of balmy day in spring.
 The streets of Montgomery were familiar to him as they were to no other person. He had known these streets and they had known him for 65 years. The paved streets he passed over he had known when they were mere muddy roads. He crossed Court | Square and doubtless recalled the same pace as he knew it in 1899, few
 wooden country stores about 1t and the little old fashioned court house stand , ing where the fountain is now. And the Commerce street he lsaw was not the Commerce street of sixty-five years ago, for when he knew 1t then there were no business houses between the Exchange Hotel and the river.

Once, on the edge of the moat of the Shojusan (Sungsushan) Fort, got within fifty feet of the parapet, and within ten feet of part of the garrison who were de- lending a counterscarp casemate. In such positions. of course, there was in cessant fighting and we were constant ly under fire. Twice, on different days. the Russians opened on us with shrap- mel. and If there's anything more try ing to the nerves than to stand for half an hour in an open trench. with those pro1ectiles bursting overhead. I don't want to experience It. I'd rather go into camp on the edge of the crater on Mount Peleel However, the danger even from shrapnel-is not so great as the novice imagines 1t to be. When the bullets are liberated by the burst ing of the shell, they don't go directly downward, but continue the parabolic course of the projectile--that is, they are thrown forward, at a sharp angle. so that comparatively few of them get into a deep, narrow trench, even if the fuses are accurately timed. They are deadly to a column of men In the open. and I've seen them kill two-thirds of a Japanese storming party in less than ten minutes. but they are not nearly so dangerous to men in the trenches. From common shells-6-inch to 12- inch--there isn't much protection any where. and you simply have to take your chances One day you may go to the very center of the Russian posi- ton and not have a shell fall within 300 yards of you, while on another day three or four may strike within 100 feet of you in less than half an hour.

 New Orleans. Jan. 30.--The most buIlish set of statistics so far issued this year by the local cotton exchange were those showing the weeks into sight and the receipts and shipments up to noon today as compiled by Sacre- tary Hester.
 The into sight for the week was 1Bi.se2 bales compared with 249,S1s bales for the same week last year. When 1t is remembered that the crop tkis year is three million bales lar ger than the one of last year, the full significance is shown.
 The statement proves that the far mers are actuallytas we'll as theoretic- ally holding back their crop. The statement of receipts shows that only 75,16S bales were received during the week while 1os,s0e were shipped from the entire country. At this rate prom inent traders say that the ports and counted towns will soon be drained and the farmer will have the situation en- tirely in his control.

 Residence Portion of Town.
 'The main residence portion of the town was just west of the Square, on Lee, Church and Montgomery Streets. There were two or three shanties and a couple of blacksmith shops on Dexter Avenue between the postoffice and the Capitol. Along South Perry Street there were a few small houses. Tn this neighborhood there is only one house now standing that was built when I came to Montgomery, the Woodruff house on Alabama and South Law renee Streets All about here was nothing but woods. A little shanty stood on the corner of Dexter Avenue and South McDonough Street, where the home of Judge J. B. Gaston now stands. pr. Cox. who ran the first doctors shop in Montgomery, bought the land and built himself a nice home.
 'The country around, Montgomery was very thinly settled. Most of the big planters lived around Mount Meigs The big plantations started about eight miles from Montgomery, but the planters had a way of living dIOnhA %NSAoSr 1AOGhS Meigs then was about as big and about as important as Montgomery.
 "one of the planters. Mir. Cowles. built himself big house near the river and paid $100.000 for it's construction. He put a mirror in one of the rooms that cost $500 in New York.
 When I came to Montgomery Judge Mays was Mayor. It was not rough, disorderly town as you might think. It was very quiet, peaceable and sociable, There were seventy-hve gamblers in town who practically ran 1t. But they were peaceable gamblers. They were not violent people and they would mot rob a man. They were as honest, should say, as their profession would let them be. But they controlled the government of the city. You see, the town was small and there were not many voters. All these seventy-five men would vote for the same man and that would mean his election.
 Burning of the Capitol.
 T can remember when the first Capi- fol was built. and I remember well the day 1t was burned The fire started about the middle of the day remem- Der well the time they brought the In- dians from up the country between Talladega and Tallapoosa County. There were about 400 of them, and they were moving them out West. The In- dians were put in Gilmer's warehouse on Commerce Street. about where the Western Union office is now. On the other side of the street, where the Wolff building Is now, Murphy's ware house stood. The Government had about twenty men who were taking the Indians out West. I was offered one of the places, and it paid st00 q month. I wanted to go and would have gone if 1t had not been for my wife.

tienth Century Montgomery with Mont gomery of poineer days. So far as he Is able to remember there Is now only one other person living in Montgom- cry when he came to the city in 1889, Mrs. Laura Fountain. And yet when he came to the city sixty-five years ago he was a young man, 25 years of age. As a man who had almost reached middle age he stood and lamented with other Montgomerians when they saw the first Capitol building in this city burn to the ground on a December day. He has seen the city move forward from a village of 500 people to city of 10000. He was a citizen and busy man of Montgomery when the town was only a rival of Mount Meigs, and he has lived to see 1t grow in beauty and assume proportions and attain character that would make any State proud to own it as a capital.
 MT. Bohlae was born on the Rhine. His birthplace was in what Is now. known as Bavaria. but when he was born that political division did not exist. The map ow the world has changed again and again since Charles P. Bohlae first saw the light
 When he was bofn the star of Napo- leon Bonaparte had not gone down at Waterloo and the Corsican was still a world power at whose touch crowns crumbled and sceptres vanished like the unsubstantial fabric of a dream. Andrew Jackson was still, to line his hardy volunteers behind the mud breast works outside New Orleans and slaughter the trained veterans of Packenham. 2. r

His memory is not so clear and not so good as 1t was. It is still strong. but he recalls names and dates with difticuIty. He tells with ease of old times and old scenes in Montgomery. but the names and the dates do not come quickly to his tongue.
 A User of stImuIants.
 Staunch believers in total abstinence from whlskey and tobacco will not find much comfort in MT Bohlae as an example. He has used both, stimulants throughout his long life and he has used them as he felt inclined. The old gentleman can hardly tell himself, just how many years he has been &C., customed to them, He believes that they have had beneficial effect upon his health. His longevity, he, att tributes to hiS actlNe tlIe ana nls regu- lar habits more than to anything else. however. He has always been a busy, active man and he-has always spent much of his time fin the open.
