The Ledger places the popula

is believed at this time the figure
above named will be reached.
It is said that Jacks, of the

This year the celebration will be
on a larger scale than ever. Ar
rangementa are being made to en

In a land of plenty, like ours, no
human being should be allowed to
suffer in sickness for the actual nec

The indications are that the final
outcome of the silver controversy
will be the passage of a bill au
thorizing the purchase of 4,500,000
ounces of bullion per month, the
certificates to be issued thereon to
be a local tender redeemable in
lawful money.
The old road law exempted
man from working out a poll tax on
roads on a certificate of a physi
cian. Under the new Taw he must
have a certificate from the County
Court. This change was made on
the presumption that three judges
can tell better if a man is sick than
one doctor.
Sedalia is just now wrestling
with the Salvation Army nuisance
and the Gazette appeals to public
opinion to run the semi-barbarians
out of town. Organize a colored
brass band and after a tew nights
practice the Salvationists will be
only too glad to clear out. The
remedy ia severe but it will do the
work.
The town cow is having a picnic
in Fulton. The last action of the
Town Board of that classic old
Revolutionary village was to order
the tallow candles blown out early
so that the flies would not bother
the cows at night while they nipped
the grass from the public thorough
fares. Good pasturage is offered
by the Board at $1.25 per month
with no flies to bother the cow.
These was something supremely
grand and beautiful in the mag
nanimous offer of Alderman Alli
son, from the Second Ward, when
he arose before the City Council
last night and volunteered to cut
his dog's tail off just behind its
ears if the act would be an incen
tive to other people to slaughter
, their worthless cure. Alderman
Allison always has the best inter
ests of his constituency at heart.
A dog census in Mexico would
show nearly as many canines as
there are people. Nine-tenths of
; these dogs are of no account what
ever scarcely worth the . powder
. and lead it would take to kill them.
- In order to give the city Marshal
and the policemen something to
' do, we suggest that the City Coun-
cil pass an ordinance requiring all
dogs within the city limits to be
. nuzzled or killed. A dog that is
not worth a muzzle is not worth
keeping.
Caft. Dam Shields will open
his gatling guns on the rum power
at Paris this week. If the Capt.
: can succeed in overthrowing the
, "drug store" power in Paris he
' will have accomplished something
even the "powers that be" have
' failed to do. The "drug store"
saloon is one of the permanent
fixlurea, we fear, of our otherwise
:-moral and religious neighbor town.
!,"Ten saloons under police surveil
lance and the high license system
are preferable to one of the drug
Store kind they have in Paris.
; A teavxlinq uan who lormerly
lived in this city writes the Lsdoeb
explaining that the reason more
commercial men do not spend Sun
day here is due to the fact that oar
barber shops are closed on that day.
Doubtless there is something in
this. Query : How is it that
barber shops in Mexico are com
.seilad to close on Sunday when
clothing stores, drag stores, cigar
tores, Urery stables, and any
other haiiinesa that the public de-
aim to patronize, are allowed to
- keep open a portion of the day ?
This is it would seem, inconsistent
and unfair. We do not know,hov
.' mr. thai the barbers care to do
business on Sunday.
The Kancas City Sunday Sun
is a dNgtace ti journalism a well
an to the city in which il is printed.
No other locality we know ol would
permit such an unworthy sheet to
exist in Us midst. It is only a mut
ter of time until some of its dirty
publications will result in a fearful
tragedy and then, perhaps, it will
be discontinued. Wherever a scan
dal or anything peneational is
known to exist, some dirty bum
mer connected with the paper is
sent to unearth it and, if consider
ed matter of the proper character,
it usually finds a place in its col
umns. If the paper itself cannot
be suppressed its representatives
who go about the country digging
up this vile filth can be tarred and
feathered and given hours to leave.
Shame on Kansas City ! Out with
the unclean vultures who give cir
culation to the class oi matter
printed by this sheet !
While the Ledger does not
claim a mighty boom for Mexico.
it does know we are forging to the
irom grandly in tne way oi new
buildings and improvements and
we are quite certain the growth of
the city is parallel with the strides
of any other town in Missouri of
its size. By reference to an article
elsewhere in this paper it will be
seen that we have the figures to
sustain our assertion. Th list is
incomplete, but enough is given to
show that Mexico is in a healthy
and prosperous condition. Good
building sites are nearly all oc
cupied by fine, neat and substantial
dwellings and there is a constant
demand 'for more. This is no
exaggeration and certainly is
encouraging.
The fiftieth anniversary of the
founding of the University of
Missouri at Columbia will be cele
brated July 4. The committee hav
ing the matter in charge has in
vited Grover Cleveland, James G.
Blaine, W. C. P. Breckinridge,
Senators Vest and Gockrell and
other men of national reputation
to be present and deliver addresses.
Governor Francis and staff will at
tend. A barbecue will be held and
20,000 people are expected to be
present.
The Board of Trade at Nevada
has elected H. C. Moore to its
presidency. "Crit" well deserves
the honor conferred upon him by
the booming city of the southwest,
and no better selection, in our
judgment, could have been made
from all of Nevada's live, pushing,
go-ahead business men. Mr. Moore
was elected by acclamation and
that, too, while he was absent
from home.
A stranger was arrested at
Louisiana for trying to sell his dia
mond pin. He exhausted every
other means to get away and as a
last resort "put up" his $250 dia
mond for $5. He explained that
he would have forfeited his birth
right rather than be compelled to
remain in the town 24 hours.
Nearly every city in the country
is complaining of the manner in
which the census enumerators did
their work. The enumerators are,
we believe, all "good" Republi
cans, but it is quite apparent that
a terrible botch has been made in
counting the people.
Champ Clark Will Do His Part.
From the Sedalia Gazette.
Champ Clark, despairing of de
feating Hon. R. H. Norton for Con
gress in the Seventh district, has
q lit the fight and is out in Okla
homa prospecting tor a location,
and preaching true democracy to
the wayward Republicans who
inhabit that new. community. The
Gazette opposed Mr. Clark's nomi
nation for Congress upon the sound
Democratic principle that it is not
good policy to change representa
tives in congress every few years.
The principle is a good one and
ought to be strictly adhered to by the
party. One experienced congress
man is worth a dozen new ones,
and the people have come to real
ize that important fact. As to
Mr. Clark, the Gazette has but the
warmest feeling ior him and if he
decides to locate in Oklahoma its
best wishes will follow him to his
new home. But if he remains in
the Seventh district, the Gazette
will be pleased to see Champ eat
bis "crow" like a thoroughbred,
and stump the district from center
o circumference in behalf of his
successful opponent, that gallant
young statesman, Dick Norton.
A Maiden's Wail of Toe.
A little corn on a maid's toe
grew, listen to her wail of toe;
caused by the pinch of a too tight
shoe, instead of a four a number
two; it grew, and grew; listen to
my wail of toe. As time went on
as time will do, listen to my wail
of toe; the corn waxed red, the
maiden blue; it was ten times
worse than the grip, (kerchew) 'tis
true, too true, listen to my wail of
toe. She had a seat in the end of
a pew, listen to my wail of toe, and
a big fat man with his seat in
view, put his No. 10 on her Kan
garoo. Oh, whew i Gh, whew I !
listen to my wail if toe.

Why Woman is Alan's Best
Friend.
FirBt and foremost, woman is
man's best friend :
Because she is his mother.
Second, because she is his wife.
Because she is patient with him
in illness, endures his fretfulness
and "mothers" him.
Because she will stick to him
through good and evil report, and
always believe in him, if she loves
him.
Because without her he would be
rude, rough and ungodly.
Because she teaches him the
value of gentle words, of kindly
thought and of consideration.
Because she can, with him, en
dure pain quietly and meet joy
gladly.
Because, on ber breast, he can
hed tears of repentance, and he is
never reminded of them afterwards
Because when be is behaving like
a fretful boy and we all do, you
know, at times with no reason in
the world for it, woman's soft word,
touch or glance will make him
ashamed of himself, as he ought
to be.
Because without her as an incen
tive he would grow lazy ; there
would be no good work done, there
would be no noble books written,
there would be no beautiful pictures
painted, there would be no divine
strains of melody.
Because she made for us a beau
tiful world in which we should be
proud to live, and contented to die
Because and this is the best
reason of all when the world had
reached an unenviable state of
wickedness, the blessed task of
bringing it a Savior for all mankind
was given to a woman, which was
God's way of setting his seal of
approval on her who is mother,
wife, daughter and sweetheart and,
therefore, man's best friend.
Journalistic Hymn.
The Missouri editors on their
way to Boston stopped a few min
utes in New York city and render
ed the following beautiful stanzas
to the air, "Little Annie Rooney."
Jacks, of the Montgomery Stand
ard, led the choir.
Our Knott is "naughty," but he's
nice;
Oar Jewett never jews;
Our Jacks is never in the "pot,"
Oar Stephens knows the news.
Our Uppman and our Williams, too,
Are hustlers of the best,
And our Bob White the cruller takes
When cyclones take a rest.
Our Bradshaw, when away from
home,
Behaves like one from York;
He does not drink from finger bowls
Or eat without his fork.
And our Bob Yost well, size him up,
And do not rouse his "lair,"
His razor now is in its sheath
But still will eut a hair.
And as for Goodwin, bless your souls,
He blows his own Bazoo,
Bat still will help to blow as well
A "horn" of "mountain dew."
And here we are, wild western men,
Bat tame when treated well,
We're glad to meet oar eastern
friends
And hold commune a spell.

CAPT. DELIA CROSS.
The First Woman to Own and i
Command a Vessel.
New Yobk, June 24. Mrs.
Delia Cross, of Brooklyn, is now
Mrs. Capt. Cross of the schooner
Oregon, and Chief Clerk Dunn of
the Custom-house Naval Bureau
asited in the transformation.
Mr. Dunn is not an advocate of
women's rights, but when Mrs.
Cross calmly appeared before him
in the Custom-house rotunda the
other day, and wanted to take the
oath as master and owner of the
Oregon, Mr. Dunn could find noth
ing in the law to prevent her from
becoming Capt. Delia, and Capt.
Delia it was after she signed a
cross, which .she affixed to the
necessary documents instead of
writing her name. Her husband
has been the owner of the Oregon,
but transferred the vessel to bis
wife for business reasons. Mrs
Cant. Delia is stout, and looks
determined enough to be the cap
tain of the Oregon and Mr. Cross
also. Mr. Dunn says that this is
the first case ot which he knows
where a woman has become the
owner and master of a vessel.
Years ago, Mrs. Wilson, now an
inspector at the barge office,
brought a vessel to port alter the
death of her husband, who was the
Captain. She also sailed on a
voyage as commander of the
vessel. There is a female pilot
on the Mississippi River.
Extension of Christianity.
In the year 1786, by the most
reliable estimate, the Protestant
population of Europe, the United
States, and the British colonies
numbered 37,700,000, the Roman
Catholic population 80,190,000, and
that of the Greek Church 40,000,-
000. In 1886 the Protestant pop
ulation in the same area had in
creased to 134,000,000 nearly
four fold; the Roman Catholic
stood at 163,000.000, and that of
the Greek Church at 83,000,000.
Adding to these Roman Catho
lics those in Mexico, Brazil,
Peru, and the smaller South Amer
icans 8tates. their total numbers
throughout the world are set down
in 1886 at 205,000,000; while, with
6,000,000 Abysiniant, Nestorians,
Copts, etc., in Asia and Africa, the
three Christians sects of the world
aggregated, in that year, respec
tively:

population is unproductive and
wanrogressive. There is a lack of
enterprise and energy, while those
of the Protestant and Greek
churpbes are multiplying and ad

To converse well it ii necessary
that you should have the art of
discovering what will interest the
person with whom yoq are talk
ing, and that you will know how
to drop the subject wo en it be
comes tiresome, and never to. let
a special fad of your own be the
one subject that you bring up.
Learn to be all things to all peo
ple to avoid personalties or very
decided opinions on any subject.
You don't want to give a tirade
against dishonesty to a man whose
father died in state prison for forg
ing notes. You don't want to ob
ject to the divorce laws when the
man you are talking to may have
married a divorced woman. You
don't want to talk abou t bleached
hair to a woman whose hair is pro
nouncedly yellow, nor to discuss
how injurious is rogue iind powder
to the woman who is made up in a
most decided manner. In your
heart you may object to all these
things, but you are not giving ex
pression just now to what you
think; you are simply making
yourself pleasant to some one
whom you have met to-day, and
may never meet again. Talk about
Egyptian mummi. s or French pol
itics, how orchids grow, the last
new play or the last new song; but
use good English, speak: as if you
were interested, and then you will
gain what you want a reputation
of being a charming woman social
ly. Frank Frost and others have
brought suit against the Salaman
der company for damages sus
tained from the intolerable heat
and smoke from its kilns,
claiming that it is killing trees and
plants in their yards and doing
other damage. I
The census enumerators will

6,000.
The Jonesburg Journal says:
"Mr. W.J. Bixey and little son
came down from Mexico Tuesday
evening. M r. Bixey retu rned home
that night; little Hardin remained
here the' guest of his sister, Mrs.
Annie Van. Ness.'
Stanley has accepted the Gov

Resolved, First. That by these
resolutions we express our deep
sense oi loss at tne dealt) ot so
able, bo kind and gentle, so loving
a coworker, whose faithfullness as
an officer, efficiency aa a worker
and wisdom as a counsellor, whose
loving kindness and great char
ity toward and for all have been,
and Btill will be, as a bright and
shining example to us with whom
sne was associated in trie mission
ary work.
Second. That we extend to the
bereaved family our deepest sym
pathy in this affliction, trusting
and praying that the separation be
for time, not eternity, and that the
re-union be perfect and complete in
tne Home Beyond.
Third, lhat these resolutions
oe preserved in tne annals ot our
society, and copies furnished the
afflicted family, the Mexico Led
ger and Intelligencer, also the
woman's Missionary Advocate, with
request that they be published.
