t,ought to have been the result of an
attach of acute indigestion. She had
been dead for three or four days.
AS far as can be learned the last
fine she was seen alive was by Mrs.
Nell Hoffman in meat shop on
Main street. At that time Mrs. Gramm
complained of the ailment from
which she suffered She appeared to
be downcast in spirits and wore a
heavy veil. Her nephew had not
seen her for several days and noticed
the windows of her office were open
after the hard rain. Suspecting thai
something was wrong he went in the

the election without taking single

"The wholesale houses soon learned
from our reports that they could not
pay salaries and travelling expenses
unless the men could get business.
They began to withdraw us from the
road The manufacturers in turn
could not keep their factories running
without orders from the iobbers. and
the result was that in less than twelve
months after the election of Cleveland
in 1892 more than one-third Of the
travelling men of st. Louis were off
the road and two-thirds Of the factor

country were closed or being run on
