LuR:-Pataha wishes to speak through the
columns Of the TELLER, for like other as
p ring persons. Pataha feels its significance
as it blooms and ripens into metropolitan
proportions We have schools and churches
ard even shows at times for our edification
and amusement. Our school is now in fine
running order, with between twenty and
thirty scholars. 1t is rumored that a grand
exhibition will be given at the close of the
term. The preaching bv Bishop Morris on
Monday evening was generally attended
The services were conducted by Rev. DR..
Nevius, and every body was delighted and
instructed. The Bishop tells us that the
DR. viii occasionally visit us. Do you
know we are to have railroad? Judge
Caplcs has been out looking up matters in
that line and he reports every thing crcour-
aging. Stiles & Caples' new hall was the
scene few evenings ago of considerable
merriment. Prof. Lawrence gave music
al entertainment there, in the course of
which Miss Mollie Montgomery carried off
the prize guitor, she being voted the hand
soonest Young lady in the place. 1t is eon-
coded by everybody that Mollie is the prize
of the neighborhood and the friend Of the

much 26 or q years ago. am glad
to note evidences of your prosperity,

the great improvement in the near flu

and Washington were one territory,
small in population; but large in area.
Now you have one prosperous state
and territory, which / hope soon to
see become state. You have the
soil and climate to support a popula
ton sufficient for many states.
In your remarks you have alluded
10 the struggles of the past j am
glad that they are at an end. 1t new
er was a pleasure to me that they had
beginning. The result has left us
nation to he proud of, strong at home
and respected abroad. Our reputation
has extended beyond the civilized ma
tions; it has penetrated even to
the less civilized parts of the earth.
In mr. travels I have noticed foreign
nations appear to respect us more than
we i'stttSt DutSflNtS. 4 RUFt .ittttt'G
the grandeur at which we have been
estimated by other powers, and their
judgement s ould give us a higher esti-

They recognize that poverty, as they
understand it, is not known with us,
and the man of comparative atfluence
with them is sometimes no better clad
or fed than our pauper.
Nowhere are there better elements
of success than on the Pacific coast.
Here those who fought on opposite
sides during the war are now peace
fully associated together in country
of which they all have the same right
to be proud.

Mexico Wants a New Mart

The business done in Mexico in
creases daily, and is especially notice
able on stock sales day. On last
stock sales day, there was a crowd
around the Ringo House corner all
day both of stock, human beings and
household furniture. The side walks
were packed with men and mud. 1t
was impossible for the police to keep
the passage clear. A lady could not
possibly get along the walk on either
side of the street. It is the same
way on most every Saturday. 1t is
our opinion, and we find On inquiry
that Jul people faver rs in our idea,
that stock should be sold off the
square, one block from the court
house. In most any direction, a lot
could be secured. Buyers and sellers
could resort to this place without any
II ouble at all. Just as much stock
could be sold, and for just as much
money, and in this way our side walks
could be kept clear of mud and mebs.
We think this matter should be
taken under consideration by our city
council at once. We don't want any
steps taken that would injure AIexi-
co.'s business, and especially our
stock sales and yet we think this
evil, we have spoken of, could be
remedied.

The st. Louis ''Times" Rather
Personal.


We always knew that the Mexico
correspondent Of the st. Louis Times
was a pointed writer, but never knew
before that he always called things by
their right names. In that journal.
speaking of the Hartley case, he ex-
patiates as follows:
A dozen or more witnesses were
put upon the stand to show that a
change of venue should be had. most
of whom were of opinion that justice
would be meted out according to the
law and evidence regardless of any
prejudice that might have arisen from
statements made in the papers
Among those who testified OF the
part of the defense was the long,
lean, lank, unc"nquerable, uncompro-
missing, far seeing, i~rrepressible man
of the Mexico LEDGER Che will ex-
cuse my personal allusion), the gist
of whose testimony was to the effect
that he was a man of letters" an
editor by profession; had read his
Bible regularly; that it was not bis
intention, nor would he mislead or
misdireet the mind Of any man,
whether sane or insane, hterate or il
literate, conscious or unconscious,
biased or otherwise, nor had he, from
beginning to end, published anything
that he did not believe to be the
truth, the whole truth, and nothing
but the truth nor was he of opinion
that the defendants could not get jus.

THE TRIAL.
LesiieH Sentenced tOTen
Years imprisonment.

All the readers of the LEDGER were
well acquainted with the facts in the
celebrated Hartley murder case
when Leslie and William Hartley
were accused of the killing of Mastin
Wiley last January. For reasons
which are good and sufficient we will
not, at this time, publish, again, the
facts in the case.
The trial of Leslie Hartley, for aid
ing and abetting his brother, VIM.
Hartley, in the killing of Mastin
Wiley, has been in progress for the
last few days and the cas was SUBJ
mitted to the following jury of good
and true men yesterday morning:
L. F. Smith, Thomas Loar, r. A.
Burnes, WIN. Harrison, w. J. Lott,
p. S. Faddis, Thomas NJ. White, w.
t. Dyson, S NJ. Williams, J. J. Rob-
inson Fl. w. Gleason and John e.
Hall.
j. McD. Trimble, assisted by t.
B. Bgckner, prosecuted, while Fer
rist. s. Fry. assisted by D. H. McIn-
tyre, defended. The case was ably
handled on both sides, each attorney
speaking at least two hours. The
state was very firm but not p%ersecut-
ing in its management of the case.
The defence left not q stone unturn-
ed for their escape.
The jury brought in a verdict yes
terday afternoon in the case of Leslie
Hartley, guilty of murder in the Sec
ond degree and the penalty of i'm
prisonment in the ~penitentiary for
ten years.
The case of VIM. Hartley will not
likely be tried at this term; Judge
Forrist is not at all we'll and for this
and other reasons the case is likely
to be postponed.
A motion will be made for a new
trial in the case of Leslie Hartley
this morning, but without doubt will
be overruled. Ten years is the low
est penalty that can be attached to
murder in the second degree.

Christmas Presents.

Everybody is preparing for Christ
mas. Farmers are loading their
wagons with material for its celebra-
ton. City danes are hunting up
and securing pleasant surprises for
their families and the young of both
sexes, in both town and country, are
selecting appropriate Interchangeable
presents. This is all right. 1t
should never be otherwise. Every
boy should have his whistle and
cracker, and every girl her doll, at
Christmas. There is music in the
Ginning of bells, beating of drums,
and explosion of crackers, that comes
to the young heart but once in the
year.
Never before in our history has it
been more appropriate to celebrate
the anniversary Of the nativity Of the
Savior of mankind. The nation is
emerging from a long period of de-
preston. The labors of agriculture
have been abundantly rewarded.
Prosperity ls co-extensiVe with the
country. All excuse for Withholding
what the young crave has been taken
away. Our products are seeking for
eign chimes and demonstrating to the
nations that we can compete with
them in their own homes in some
things for which heretofore we have
been dependent on them, and in 9th
ers in which, they thought they were
secure from competition. Their gold
is coming to US in return. We sell
more than we buy.
Why, then, should there not be a
merry, very merry Christmas? Why
should not the children be gratified?
The shelves OF our stores are weighted
with goods. Prices are still moder-
ate. A small sum judiclously ex-
pended will secure untold enjoyment.
We solicit particular attention to the
Christmas advertisements in the
LEDGER.

Of books. The series of arithmetics
now in use cost $4.97; the new series
cost only a little over 81. The read
ers cost 1913, while the new books
will only cost 81 so. This IS the
regular retail price of the new books.

will be taken at exchange prices.

The Reasons Why a Change
Should he Made i'm Read
ers in Audrain County.

LIST. The present series, McGuf-
fey's, has been used 20 years.
End. The books are no better now
than when first introduced.
3rd. Patrons have mad to purchase
them five times over in the meantime
under the guise of new editions.
4th. The same matter with COM
parative few changes is yet found in
all the later editions as when first
issued.
9th. Let no educator be deceived
in the statements made by the agents
that the publishers do not intend to
fasten upon the people yet another
edition if McGuffey is readopted.
9th. The old edition now used in
your schools will soon be out of print.
and patrons will have to buy the new
McGuffey Reader and pay the retail
prices thereof, which are higher than
those now used.
9TH. A change to new methods and
late and better matter would improve
every child attending school.
9th. 1t is a misrepresentation of facts
and made purposely to deceive the
people, that a change to Appleton's
series would be an additional expense.
9Th. Every county, township and
district would save money by the sub
stltution of the latter for the former.
10th. Every child in Audrain coun-
tv can be provided with Appleton's
Reader for one year at an average
cost of p cents in exchange for the
books now used.
18th. The new reading book would
last the average child or his brother
or sister two years.
18th. 1t would cost double this
amount to buy the present McGuffey
if the old books are retained.
18th. A misstatement is being will
fully circulated to the effect that to
introduce Appleton's Readers would
cost the taxpayers of Audrain coun-
ty $40, 900 to $4,000.
14th. Not including the large cities,
l hereby agree to change all the read
ing books in use in any county in
Missouri, giving Applcton's in all the
public schools of said county at a
cost to patrons not exceeding one
thousand dollars to any one county,
and that the cost to any district shall
not exceed its relative proportion
thereof, which shall average less than
twelve dollars per district cost to the
school patrons.
Counties ranging less in population
than average size, shall be supplied
with books in a relative proportion to
the above estimate.
1 further guarantee to furnish APP
pleton's New Readers, when once
adopted for the full term, that they
may be used at one fourth less cost
to patrons than they now pay for the
readers used.
18th. Let not anyone be deceived
by the misrepresentation of the agents
OF a rich monopoly that has undertook
to perpetuate the use of their high
priced worthless books.

HEALTHY.
There is No Better Place to
Live.

During the past few weeks. espec-
tally since railroad accidents have
become so frequent and so close TO
Mexico, we have given some study to
the point Of the fatality of a man
who run on a railroad, and we have
come to the conclusion that a con-
ductor's position Is a very healthy
piace-in fact, we are going to try
and have our Office put on wheels.
Why, a great many more people die
in bed than on the railroad in fact,
we find that the bed is the most IN
healthy place in the world. 1t is
found that if q man travels inaes-
sanity on the cars the chances are,
On averaging up, that he will not be
injured by accident until he reaches
the somewhat mature age of $50
years. There is little chance Of his
dying a natural death on the cars I'M
der STA years. This ought to satisfy
almost anyone. If the railroad Gem
paniss consult their own interest and
besides desire to keep this country
well supplied with veterans and ''old-
est Inhabitants they will issue tick
els for say 1000 years, ''for bearer
only" over their lines at greatly re-
duced rates something on the same
plan that the ferry companies supply
tickets, good for a ride all afternoon,
for ten cents. 1t may be fated that
you should die sooner, and if so, the
above rule will not apply to you. If
you are not fated to die sooner, and
travel incessantly on the railroad, we
will insure you to live for 1000
years, and only charge you $500, 900.
Come to the front one at a time.
