Mayor Low, are not disposed to
allow Henry Ward Beecher's alleged
SANDER that they have made their po-

done toward pressing Mr., Beecher for
facts and proof. Then will come Il
suit for damages. Beecher is worried

ly about one-half a mile south Of the
Audrain line and is the postoffice Of
most of the residents Of Sailing towns
ship. Sturgeon is improving very
rapidly. Several new houses are be-
ing built. j. M. Proctor is building
an S., 900 residence. 1t will be the
finest in Boone county.
Sturgeon is ahead of Mexico in
having water works. They have a
well of living water 81 feet deep and
20 feet in diameter, with 20 feet Of
water. They have a large tank about
20 feet from the ground which holds
IL, 900 gallons of water. This tank
is kept filled by a wind mill. Pipes
are being laid all over+the town, and
hose will be attached to be used in
case of fire or to sprinkle the streets.
The pressure of the water in the tank
will throw a stream over the highest
building. If Mexico can do no bet
ter she should adopt this system.
Sturgeon is renowned for her fair
young ladies and entertaining men,.
But we must not look over what is
called marble Hail." The residents
OF Sturgeon are great marble players
and they have a club that plays mar
bles day and night. A large hall has
been rented for this purpose alone,
and Tom Carter, of the Leader, who
is the champion marble player, says
that they sometimes play in this hall
all night. Our visit was very pleas
ant and before we left we had the
pleasure of taking supper with Maj.
Rucker, the prince of gentlemen and
a leading citizen of Boone county, who
married Miss frankie Dingle, one of
Audrain's most beloved and accom-
plished maidens. We hope to visit
Sturgeon again soon.

Some poet has said that "All torments

Jealousy, thou tyrant of the mind" This
is grandly, sweeping and magnifcently
inaccurate. ANY sufferer from indiges-
ton knows to the contrary. Indigestion,
the villain of the tragedy played among
the gastric juices can, and does double
discount the horrors of jealousy. Jeal-
ousy is often al attendant upon the latter,
and when indigestion is removed this
jaundiced companion ola deranged liver

A Dreadful DelusiOn.

Special Dispatch to the Globe Democrat.
MEXICO, Mo-, May 29.-Several ignor-
ant negroes in and around this city are
laboring under the horrible delusion that
they are, what is peculiarly termed by
that race, "~conjured." A negro woman
named Fannie Hardin, aged about %
years, for some time past a servant at
| Hardin College, now m to the front
and says she was, a few days since, "con-
iured,' by her brother-in-law, Frank
| White, and imagines that lizards, spiders,
| snakes and other reptiles are located in
different parts of her body. She also
AYERS that White u her Of being
the mother of the white infant that was
found in a well in this city a few days
ago. The woman was discharged from
! further duties at the college, but coult
not be induced to leave, and finally, be.
coming a terror to the young ladies ant
others about the building, was given il
| charge of the city authorities.
Another instance is that of a negro DO,
named Gordon, recently from Columbia
now employed On the Lakeland farm
near here, who came to town last weel
and ~endeavored to induce DR.. Macfar
lane to cut out the palm of his hand
claiming he had been voudooed by hi
mother while taking leave of her, whit
at one time had been conjmed by anotheI
negro for some alleged offense given b,
the mother. This negro boy Is said Il
be as firm inithe belief that he is "charm
ed" as can be, and can not be induced t.
think otherwise.
Several other instances wherein negroe
are laboring under q similar delusfol
could be named, they claiming to b
