Poisoned by drinking adulterated

tiles have not been able to locate, Mrs.
Marcus Zuger lies critically i'll at her
family home, 521 South First street.
Her condition is slightly better today,
but she is still in a serious condition.
About a month ago Frank Zuger,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Marcus Zuger
stopped a milk wagon in front of the

did not know the man of whom he
purchased it and does not know the
name on the wagon, if there was one.

Good Interest
In the: Meetings

Increase in the attendance and in
terest in the service characterized the
! special meetings at the First MethO-
dist Episcopal church last evening The
solo of the evening was a temperance
selection, and was followed by a
strong plea for courageous men for
| legislators, and who would be loyal
| to their constituents. With Psalms 11O.
SO as his text, Dr. Turk said in part:
''The text is a message to thinkers.
There is a decided contrast between
mans ways and Gods testimonies Sin
began when man wanted to have his
own way. That is why men ure lost.
Human responsibility is serious
thing. Many men have had little
chance. If they had, they might have
done much better than we The ways
of sin are unsatisfying, for there is
no satisfaction in sin. Mans thirst for
pleasure outruns his ability to sat
isfy it, He'll is the multitude of ap-
petities without the power to crafty
them. You can't have another's peace
full face without her pure life. You
can't have your fathers peace unless
you have your fathers God. 1t will be
an awful thing for many when they
leave their present luxuries for hell.
The way of the transgressor is a hard
way. God intended that it should be,
that men might choose life The
Christian has many trials and crosses,
but what of the poor sinner who has
no Christ to help him with his bur-
dens? Sins ways are ruinous and
wrong ways. Contemplate the ruin
wrought by following sins ways. They
are thoughtless ways. Would the sin
ner do as he does if he but stopped
and thought? The prodigal came to
himself when he thought The moment
he began to think he was on the way
to salvation. He then turned his feet
to Thy testimonies. Made haste to cut
loose from the brothel, wine and sin. If
you know your duty and do it not it
becomes harder. Hence, you should do
it at once. Too much time you have
already lost. Your chances Of salvation
decrease with age, yet nothing is i'm
possible with God"

Gypsy SMITH
TO SAVE ST. LOUIS

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 27.-Gypsy Smith,
the world famous evangelist who has
recently conducted great revivals in
Pittsburg, New York, Washington,
Baltimore and other cities, is in ST.
Louis to begin a mammoth relig-
ious campaign for the salvation of this
city. Smiths meetings have been
characterized by spectacular and SEN
sational marches through the '"red
light" districts, and it is likely that he
will adopt similar methods while here
Gipsy Smith was born in 1860, and
when he was 16 years of age he could
not read nor write, for he was born in
gypsy tent in England, and he wan
dered over England with his parents
and the other gypsy children, drawn in
an old covered wagon by one old horse
His father was at that time a drink
ing, pilfering gypsy, who earned a pit
tance fiddling in saloons. Gipsy Smith
when boy, passed the hat for pennies
while his father played the fiddle
Gipsy Smiths real name is Rodney
Smith. He is a handsome man. with
bushy jet black hair and the sparkling
eyes of his interesting race. He is full
of fire, humor, sympathy and tact He
is a cultivated gentleman and is enter
tanned in the finest homes in the land.
He has crowded the biggest halls in
lands. Mr.. Smith has a wife and three
children, and this is his sixth visit to
America. He tells many amusing sto-
ries about his children

Italians Object TO Money Tax

A small tempeset in fair sizd tea
pot has been stirred up among the
Italian residents of this city and vicin-
ity by the advocation by Frank Yuse
Of tax which will, in effect, put ban
of Sunny Italy in sending the greater
percentage Of their earnings to friends
and relatives in that country, thus re-
ducing the amount of available money
in this country, and having much to
do with the periodical panics. Mr.
Yuse. who says he has renounced all
interest in the old country, has Sc
verely arraigned those Of his country
men who have been sending money to
friends across the pond, with the re-
suit that he is now in great disfavor
with many in this community
Mr.. Yuse firmly believes that his
point is well taken, and he is sincere
in his desire to benefit the land of his
adoption by working for legislation
which will serve to reduce the money
being sent abroad annually, his plan
being the establishment Of a tax levy
large enough to make the practice a
most expensive one, and at the same
time heavy enough to result in the
retention in the United States Of at
least half of the money now sent to
Italians in their native country.
In his remarks on the subject this
morning, Mr.. Yuse acknowledged that
many of his former countrymen had
severely criticized his idea and had
expressed themselves in no uncertain
terms upon his proposed legislation
But Mr. Yuse has been disconnected
not in the least by the i'll feeling OF
Italians here, and today said that those
who have taken the oath of allegiance
to the United States, agreeing to up
hald the constitution, violate such
oaths when they repeatedly send thei,
earnings to the old country.

bill, and this was one of the principle
reasons why it was referred to the
judiciary committee instead of being
brought before the house and senate
for discussion and amendment.
The opinion is freely expressed there
that if the bill could have been easily
amended on the floor of the house to
eliminate this Objectionable provision,
the motion to send it to the judiciary
committee would not have prevailed
and the issue would have been fought
out at once instead of being delayed
for several days or weeks.
The action upon the league bill was
identical in both senate and house. 1t
was first sent to the committe on
public morals, which without any at
tempt to amend it reported it back
to the house with the recommendation
that it pass. In both house and SEN
ate tnere was minority committee
report, asking that it be referred to
the judiciary committee, and in each
case the minority report was adopted
in the house by a majority of two votes
and in the senate by majority of four.
AS an instance of the effective work
which has been done by the saloon
lobby which is here to defeat the pas
sage of the league bill, such a close
check was kept upon the members
that before the vote in the house was
taken, it was announced from the Ii
quor mems headquarters that they had
AZ votes in favor of sending the bill to
the judiciary committee. and the fig
ures proved absolutely correct. In the
senate they claimed "a votes and re-
ceived %.

OLYMPIA, Jan. 27.-(Special Cor
respondence)-Wh it is practically
certain that some kind of local op-
ton bill will be passed by the present
legislature, it is just as certain that
the bill drafted by the Anti Saloon
house or senate in its present form.
1t will either be so amended that it's
an entirely different Dill will be sub
stituted therefore and submitted as a
committee bill, or the bill which has
already been introduced and which is
favored by the liquor men, providing
and second class will be pushed to the
front
By many of the members the
defeat Of the Anti Saloon league bill
is attributed to the over-zealousness
of the league in trying to put every
legislator who would not stand for
the bill as a whole on record as op-
posed to local option principle and a
traitor to the local option planl, in the
republican platform. Legislators dc
not like to be dictated to, and claim
the right to decide for themselves
what constitutes a reasonable" local
option bill, as demanded by the plat
form of the party in power
The principle objection which has
been made to the Anti Saloon league
bill and one which cost it a number
of votes is the provision that if a
county goes wet any portion thereof
is given another chance and may vote
dry" while the same privilege is not
accorded to a portion Of a dry county
which wants to be wet. The bill was
so ingeniOusly drawn as to make it
almost impossible to amend this pro-
vision without entirely redrafting the

HAVANA, Jan. 27-Tomorrow at
noon Major General Jose Gomez. vet
eran of the revolution against Spain.
will be inaugurated as president of the
cuban republic, and Alfredo Zayas
VIII assume the vice-presidency. Gov
ernor Magoon, who has been the real
ruler of Cuba during the American in
tervention, will promulgate a decree
declaring re-established the ordinary
methods and agencies of government
and turning over the island to Presi-
dent Gomez and the Cuban congress
Thus the people of the gorgeous isle
will take over the management of
their own governmental affairs for the
second time under American auspices.
The inaugural ceremonies will take
place in the palace and will be at
tended by diplomatic representatives
and special ENJOYS from all countries.
1t will be a magnificent affair, attend
ed by much pomp and circumstance,
and accompanied by a veritable orgy of
enthusiastic revelry on the part of
the freed and Independent populace
But the populace, it must be ad-
mitted, cares rot so much for political
Independence as it does for the Iotter-
les, the cooking mains and the bull
fights that are promised under the new
regime. These sports and pastimes,
dear to the heart of every Cuban We're
at least nominally banished by the
Puritan edidts of the American inva-
ders. but the liberal party, which con-
trolls the executive and legislative
branches of the new government, has
promised that bills establishing the le-
gality of cock fighting and inaugu-
rating a national lottery will be among
the first introduced.
The only kind of warfare that is to
have attention now is that of the cock
and bull rings. The cock and tn,
plough were and are the emblems Of
the liberal party. During the campaign
they were extensively displayed as
miniature toys and worn as symbols;
now the game rooster is cock of the
walk in the truest sense Every day
one sees men and boys going about
couple of the gorgeous plumaged little
fowls that make, for the Cubans, their
great native sport. The society for the
prevention of cruelty to animals, which
in the island is called the Humane So
ciety and the Band of Mercy, has tried
to interfere and prevent these fights
at least while the American govern
ment that forbade them is still here.
These humanitarians hold that the in
fiuence of a cock fight on the sight
seer is as brutalizing as is that of
bull fight.
Cuba, is an altogether different sport
from the comparatively tame and hu-
name pastime of American cooking
mains In the first place, the fowl is
plucked of his feathers, and his body
is brilliantly painted. OF course, he
starts into the ring enraged. Around
his claws are fastened, with fine, del
icately- made, but strong steel springs,
the formidable spurs that are to tear
at his antagonist. Both cocks are
equipped in the same way; they have
equal chance at each other, and often
neither dies, but both just fight until
exhausted and drop in the ring. Then
