FROM LADDONIA.

Correspondence of the Ledger.
IADDoNIa, Mo, May l4.-Quite an in
teresting lawsuit will be tried before
Squire Logan next Wednesday between
two of our most prominent farmers.
The plaintiff claims that 5000 chickens,
more or less, of all kinds, nave been
trespassing upon his farm, eating his
corn just planted, &C., and sues the own
er of said chickens for $4,000 damages,
more or less-as the case Imay be. The
Squire is reading law attentively, and
searching Blackstone SO that he may give
justice to the case.
There is much complaint about the
corr coming up badly, and many of the
farmers have had to plant the second
time. Rain is needed in many localities.
Farmers are yet hopeful, and think a few
warm, sunshiny days will bring the
crop out all right. Oats look chilled
from the cold winds.
A young man came to C. A. Smith, q
few days ago, and tried to sell him a
horse. Smith, finding the young mar moi
of age, required reference to know if he
had a right to sell the horse. In the
inquiry it was found that the horse ha6
been taken, unknown to the boys father
The father, n of the most respectable
farmers of Pike, was sent for and thu
horse and boy both taken home.
Rippey Brothers have sold their hard
ware store to De La Port & Ward Broth
ers, of Perry.
Myers & Pierce have moved into thei
large and commodious store room.
Since the list of January there have bee
sixteen new houses built IN town, and tn
building boom still continues.
Miss Lizzie Pierce, who has been visit
ing in Columbia for several weeks, re
; turned home Saturday.
Tommy Hendrick, of New Harmony
was visiting in town Sunday.

Bon INGERsoLL has declared
himself as to the political situation.
He says: "The Republicans are
making all the mistakes they can
and the only question now is, can
the Democrats make more? The
tariff will be one of the great ques-
tons, and will be the only one ex-
cept success. The Democrats are
on both sides OF the question.
They hate to give up the word
only Only for that word they
might have succeeded in 1880. If
they can only let only alone and
say they want "a tariff for revenue,
they will do better. The fact is
the people are not in favor of free
trade, neither do they want tariff
high enough to crush a class, but
they want tariff to raise revenue
and to protect our interests. /
am for protection because it diver
SITES industries, developes brain,
and allows US to utilize all the
brain and muscle we have"

"ProcrastinatiOn is the Thief OF
Time"

We often see men with chron-
10 habit of procrastination. They
are always about to do something
in few days or in few weeks;
never on a specified time. Their
ideas of punctuality are always
below par. They are always
overestimating dangers and diff
culties. Caution which is good
element of character in a business
man or any other man is run to
the other extreme. When such
persons have to say they will do a
thing in a few days or few weeks,
it is more than probable they will
never do it. The characteristics
of corporations and railroads COM
panies are much the same as of
individuals. We find those
sometimes who are noted for their
punctuality, and that have a pride
in keeping their promises. Others
again, have habit Of procrastina-
ton that is as marked as in indi-
viduals. To the latter class we
fear we will have to place the
Oregon Central Railroad people.
When the grant was made for a
railroad to Astoria it was to have
been built in six years. And there
was no sufficient reason why it was
not built in that time. Now six
years have elapsed and seven more
in addition to them and very lit
tie is done towards building the
road. 1t is always the same
old story of a few days or a few
weeks until another summer is
nearly gone. The rains of winter
will soon be upon US and no work
done.

The Mormon Problem.

COLONEL GEORGE L. GODFREY,
a member of the Utah commission,
in a recent interview outlined
what, in his opinion, will be the
ultimate effect of the Edmunds
bill in accomplishing the purpose
for which it was intended. "There
are 100000 people in Utah to-
day." said Colonel Godfrey. "Of
these 100000 are Mormons and
only $4,000 Mormons are polyga-
mists. The operation of the Ed
munds bill is confined solely to
those who practice polygamy. A
professor of the Mormon religion
with only one wife does not
come within the scope of the law.
The work of the commission has
been confined to disfranchising
polygamists. The law provides
that every citizen shall be regis
tered before he shall have the
right to vote, and if his name don't
appear on the register he has no
appeal. As female suffrage is one
of the Mormon institutions, a
large number of women-more
women indeed than men-have
been omitted from the registry
lists along with their lords and
masters. So far as possible the
commissioners have endeavored to
keep the name of every polygamist
from appearing on the lists. The
Mormons are disposed to interpose
every obstacle to the enforcement
of the law. which, to them, is eI-
tremely odious. They have made
up ten test cases which will bt
submitted to the courts as soon a.
possible, and the night before
started for the east, writs wer,
served on the Commissioners
While there is no doubt that the
courts will affirm the constitution,
ality OF of the law, the Mormoni
will leave no stone unturHed t.
impede its operation"

so small an amount of intoxicating
