sNUBBED THE 4Uc.
The Capital May Yet Become the
Pride of Another City.

jefferson City, Mo. Jan. 2l.-I
Cometh now wives and daughters .
of legislators from the haw-eating
districts of Missouri with loud
complaint.
The hinges of doors leading TO
homes Of the capital city's 400
are rusty. They refuse TO swing
wide for ruralitcs.
Therefore "a social war-there-
fore gossip that even at this late
day the to-bc beautiful 100000.
capitol building may become the
pride of another ely.
Wives of country lawmakers
are insistcnt. IF we are not
good enough to mingle in Jcifer-
son City society, jefferson City
isn't good enough for the capt
toll, " are their words
Husbands are worried -- but
most husbands do as wife says.
And wife speaks with determine
ton.
Two years ago-oh, two years
ago every home in jefferson City
was wideopento wives and daugh-
tiers Of the legislators But the
location of the capital was at
stake then, while now-now they
believe the issue settled.
But is it9 O, there's the rub
Legislators declare the bonds are
not selling and there's every rea-
son for submitting the issue-the
whole capital issue-to the people
again.
So the ultimatum has gune
forth, coil the hinges of society S
doors or suffer the consequences.
In the parlors of the Madison
hotel last night there gathered a
score or more richly gowned
women. Certainly they were wives
and daughters of legislators, but
didn t the gowns come from Kan
sas City, st, Louis, Chicago and
New York, and haven't they a
bountiful supply And didn t
they arise in their indignation
and proclaim war; Most assured
ly they did.
RESULT Well, there II be a few
social AUCTIONS in Jefferson City TO
which the Jefferson City 400"
will not be invited-a real snub-
bing, don you know.
And the plan to remove the cap
itol? The concurrent resolution is
drawn and it may be introduced
any day. This fuss over abolish
ing the capitol commission has
brought affairs to a crisis. Moth
ing save the purchase of property
has been done toward building
the capitol except a lot of real
money has been spent. The
ground could be sold again, you
know, and the local 400" could
have everything to themselves.

TANK STEAMSHIP
DRIVEN ASHORE
BIunders Oh Bar in Fog Near
Sea Isle City.

Sea Isle City, N. j., Feb. 24.-The
fate of the Dutch tank steamship
American, which is wallowing off shore
here in the clutches of the sand bars,
depends upon the elements.
Every crash of the heavy rollers.
which are sweeping in from the sea
under the impetus of stiff north
easter, is driving the ship deeper into
the sands and straining and clutching
at the plates and rivets of the big YES
sci. The boat and it's cargo seems
doomed.
Since the boat, lost in the thick fog,
blundered aground about mile east
of the Ludlam's Beach life saving sta
ton, Saturday afternoon, anxiety has
been at a high pitch and thousands
throng the shore awaiting news of the
condition of the vessel.
The life savers risked their lives
freely as soon as the big fog horn OF
the ship put up its wall for assistance
and are now lying by the vessel,
ready, if worse comes to worse, to
take off the crew of thirty-two.
A huge wrecking tug and power
boat, which has been Impressed into
service, has been attached by cable to
the stern of the vessel, and the beat of
their engines has been constant as
they strained and tugged to prevent
the ship from being driven in farther.
The American was on the last lap
of her voyage when she went aground.
She was bound for Philadelphia to
take on cargo. The ship runs regularly
between Holland and PHILADELPHIA in
the oil trade, being at present char
tered by the Standard Oil company.

Mr. Potter says that the stranger,
whose name is being withheld, told
him he was employed On some high

After dark he went back for the can.

Mr. Potter advised the man to give
his information to the police and gave
him letter of introduction to Deputy
Commissioner of Public Safety Rice.
The man left the capitol, but returned
some time later and said he was not
able to locate police headquarters or
