FOLK TO PUT LID ON
EXCELSIOR SPRINGS.
Determined That Missouri Town
Shall Not Become a New
Hot Springs.
WRITES TO
COUNTY OFFICIALS,

Jefferson City, Mo, May % Gov
srnor Folk put machinery In opera
tion that he thinks will result In put.
ting a lid on the gamblers at Excel
sior Springs. He has been informed
that, since the gamblers we're driven
out Of Hot Springs, many OF them
have located at Excelsior Springs,
and that they are operating there
boldly and In defiance Of the criminal
laws OF the State.
Information Is in the Governors
hands that roulette, faro, and other
ielonious games are running full
blast at that place, and quite as de.
6sntly as they did at Hot Springs
before the authorities drove them
ont.
The Governor addressed letters to
Judge W. Alexander, who presides
over the Circuit Court District en-
bracing Clay county, and also to
Prosecuting Attorney Ralph Hughes,
Of Clay county, calling their sssen-
ton to these purported violations Of
law. To Judge Alexander he sug-
gested the advisability Of calling a
special term Of court aud summoning
q Grand Jury forthwith to make a
thorough investigation. To the
Prosecuting Attorney he suggested
she sdyisability OF immediate action
against such violations OF the law,
and promised him all the assistance
within his power.
III conditions are as bad as repre-
sented to me by reputable witnesses"
said the Governor, these gamblers
are going to be put out Of business
In short order, and regardless OF
conse quer, e. II they can't be put
out Of business one way they will be
put out another. II | am correctly
Informed, they are committing crimes
that ought to send them to the peni.
sentiary. Ills O felony in Missouri
TO operate such games"
The first Information the Governor
received OF the gambling games 60
ing on at Excelsior Springs was
through parties who attended the
State Convention and who reside In
several different parts OF the State.
At first he thought there must be
some mistake; that 1t was hardly
possible men could openly defy laws
establishing penitentisry offenses
and escape the consequences. But
the information now before him is
too strong to leave room for doubt.
What is worrying the Governor
quite as much as the gamblers is to
understand why the local officials
have not acted in the premises.
While the Governor did not say so,
yet so determined is he In this mat
ter that it Is NOS to be doubted that
he will use the militia, il such drastic
measures becomes necessary, to drive
the gamblers out OF Excelsior
Springs. And at the same time II
any official is found TO be In collu-
sion with the gamblers, efforts will
be made to see that he is punished
FOR direliction OF duty.

The Girl With Thin Arms.

A private pointer for the long, slen-
der-armed girl:
Don't fall into the snare of dressing
your bony elbows with what the fash
ion books call ''softening frills Of
lace"
Don't you believe it.
That frill will fall over the very
curve you wish. to display and will fall
away from the hollow you wish to
hide, says the Philadelphia Press.
Fix the bottom of your elbow
sleeves with a close band, Of black or
dark colored ribbon, let it be quite
snug so that what little flesh there is
there will swell out. .impressively.

minutes be sure and let the check
rein out a few holes.
Be sure that the strap that goes
around the throat and helps keep the
bride from slipping, is not unneces-
sarily tight.
The instant it is seen that the horse
is getting beyond control, brace firm
ly against the footboard, lean well
forward and put right hand way out
on the line; next pull slightly on the
left rein, just enough to make the
horse think he is expected to go to the
left and then follow with the very
hardest pull you can give on the right.
This may result in possible turn-
bic instead of plunge, but the tumble
need not be much of one If there is
any luck in the party.
While using every possible precau.
tion against driving troubles, don't let
a thousand and one unnecessary fears
cloud the pleasure that can come out
of the ownership and use Of a good
horse. The nerve and courage gained
is no small part of the good OF 1t all,
and the splendid art of skilful and cour.
ageous driving should be added to the
outdoor accomplishments Of every girl
that can possibly have the opportun.
ity for acquiring it.-New York Press

CLERK I AZES FINANCIERS.
SaIa.ied Employee of American E&
press Company Purchases Over
Five Millions Canal Bonds.

A New York dispatch says: The
identity of Samuel BXerley, the sue
cessful bidder for S5,s00,00O worth
Of the new Panama canal per cent
bonds, has been finally revealed. BY.
erley turns out to be a clerk in the
accounting department Of tho Ameri>
can Express company.
Ever since the bids for the bonds
were announced by Secretary Shaw.
Wall street has been trying to learn
something about Mr.. Byerley, and
has been speculating as to the inter.
ests behind his bid. Byerley was not
inclined to answer any questions after
he had been located. The treasurer
of the American Express company
said:
This is entirely personal matter
with Mr.. Byerley, who is one Of our
clerks. There is absolutely nothing in
the rumor that he represents inter-
ests in the COMPANY"
Byerley has almost taken the breath
away from some of his fellow clerks.
He had a host Of callers Wednesday.
who wanted to know how he could
afford to bid s5,SO0,000 for govers'
ment bonds, but he had nothing to
say.
The general opinion among those
in the American Express cempany's
Office is that Byerley is taking a lit
tie flyer, which has not cost him any
thing more tangible so far than nerve.
Under the terms of the sale no money
need be put up until August 1.
Byerley made four bids. For $1,o00,-
900 of the bonds he offered 104125:
for the second million 103.990; for the
third million 1O3.975 and for $685.
$50 he offered 103.S67. The New York
syndicate that got one-llalf OF the
$3O,OO0,0OO bonds, put up price on
them Tuesday at $104.40. It was f1g-
ured out by the bond experts Wed
nesday that should Byerley sell his
option at 1O4 he would clear $2,S50
without putting up cent, save for
the postage stamp which carried his
bid to Washington.
In 1896 Abram White, clerk in
brokers' Office on his own hook bid
for a big block Of bonds and made
a profit Of 100000. AS a result OF
his bid a rule was made by the treas
ury department that cash payment
must accompany all bids. This rule
obtained until this last bond issue,
when it was either overlooked or sus-
pended.

Uses for Old Stockings.

Don't throw away your old stock
ings. They may be past wearing as
such, but there are several good uses
to which they may be put. If the
legs are in good condition and the
feet worn out, cut off the latter and
the body of the stockings makes a
fine cleaning rag. For polishing
brasses, candlesticks, door knobs and
the like they will be found excellent.
An old stocking also makes a good
rag for rubbing up shine on your
shoes, and for wiping woodwork with
oil it is about as good as flannel. One
woman who does her own work al
ways slips over her arms when house
cleaning in the cold weather and
keeps one with the foot in to put over
her hand when she has to wipe the
stove. Another woman Of original
ideas puts on a pair Of extra stocking
legs on very cold day, thus gaining
the required warmth without any
thing burdensome on the feet:
