Both will receive early consideration. List to Placate Farmers.

Iouis that receives or publishes rews gathered by the Associated Pre ACRE OF MANUSCRIPT Son of Physician, Brain De ranged by Study, Buries Writing in Trenches. Almost every afternoon for tbe past six weeks a. man has appeared on a vacant tract of land in University City and acted in a manner that proved inexplicable to the residents and to passengers on the interurban cars which pass the spot. It is just south of the Klrkwood Ferguson line, north of Maryland terrace. The mah has been seen at times digging long shallow trenches with a spade.

Then he would get down in a trench on his hands and knees and carpet its ffoor with paper. At other times he spread paper on the grass and spaded enough earth on it to keep the wind from blowing it away. He alwajs worked rapidly, with ab sorption, paying no attention to the wondering spectators that sometimes gathered. was noticed that he was well dressed and apparently cultured. He refused to give any explanation of his conduct or to tell his name, when questioned.

i The "garden," examined during the man's absence, proved to consist of long rows of paper, laid either flat on the ground or In trenches a foot deep, and weighted down with clods and earth. The rows were about five feet apart, and covered almost an acre on a hillside in the Maryland Terrace Addition. The paper was found to be a high grade of wall paper, and every foot of it was covered with strange penciled writing. 'ir' Tuesday a Post-Dispatch reporter traced the unknown "gardener" to his home in North St. Louis.

He is a son of a physician. The explanation given by the father for his son's actions is that he has an idea he is writing a new Bible, in poetry, and must preserve the work for future generations by planting it. "He became mentally deranged through overstudy 13 years ago in his third year of a course at Barnes Medical College," the 'physician "But he is not harmful, and I hope his queer actions have frightened no one."

Circuit Attorney Jones revealed the legal ground on which he expects to put John M. Healv on the witness stand against 'John F.

During a brief recess, Jones saM to Estep, sitting across the couns4 table from him. "There is plenty of authority for putting Healy on the. stand in this case." You can do it," said Kstep.

He says Healy Is the only one who will say that Nicolay got more than the customary expense mor.ey during the police benefits at Forest Park Highlands. It is the general conviction at the Four Courts that Healy, undir Indictment on the charge of stealing JU,) from the police relief fund, will not he prosecuted. If he takes the witness stand.

To testify against Nicolay jie must admit embezzling money from tin fund. And after such an admission be could not plead not guilty to the charge of embezzlement against him.

Bethell, vice-president of the Amerim Tele phone and Telegraph entertained the New Jersey cliff dwellers, resi dents of the mountain side, last night his home at 2i0 Mountain avenue, Montclair, and treated them to speeches, songs and plays by telephone from many parts of the country. A feature of the evening was getting, for the first time outside of experiments, telephone connection with Denver, 2200 miles away. The longest distance over which the human voice is carried commercially is that between New York and Omaha, about 1500 miles, Bethell explained, but it is hoped soon to have Denver on the regular list. The instruments wrought the voice from the Rocky Moun tains as plainly as though Denver were only a block away. The guests numbered 50, and each had a special telephone receiver adjusted to his head.

From Washington, Representative Ed- wdrd W. Townsend told the news of Congress and made a speech on reci procity. President Nesbitt of the Chi cago cliff dwellers exchanged greetings. C. K.

Hall, a friend at Boston, did the same for the Hub, and so with the other cities. The music was equally successful. A scene Irom tne opera ai we weiro-politan was heard, and then several numbers by a quartet in anpther amusement place. Next the listeners heard an act of a play by the Ben Greet Pla, era. Bethell said it would be possible irith little trouble to arrange so mac ery performance in every part of the i.n- try as far a Denver could be ird here, and a general receiver couk be made that would enable a party tc ut around and hear without individual e- ceivers.

Experiments of the St. Louis merchants have proven this. The greater the circulation, if the quality is right, the greater the number of responses received by the advertiser. Nearly 85 per cent, or about 140,000 copies, of the daily POST-DISPATCH are sold in the city of St. Louis and its suburbs.

This means an average of a daily paper for each family. in St. Louis. Is there any wonder that the St. Louis merchants fill their stores with customers when they advertise in the POST-DISPATCH as they did yesterday, Tuesday, to the extent of i 76 columns i ll while 54 columns was all they cared to use in three out of the other four daily papers all added together.
