man who would declare, that either
in mental or physical ability the fol-
lowers of the apostle of total abstin-

The writer, then, has come TO the
conclusion that the issuing of licenses
for the sale of fcrmented liquors is
a wholesome measure, and further,
that if pure light wines and ales
could be sold at cheap rate in this
community in place of ardent spirits
they would, although at some loss
to the revenue, prove a blessing to
the people, by forwarding the cause
which upright men have at heart
the promotion of real temperance
and morality.

Seeking Executive Clemency.

Mrs. NJ. E. Collins, the wife of
Wesley Collins, who is to be hanged
at Bowling Green on Friday the 31st
inst, was in Mexico yesterday en-
route to Jefferson City to make a
final effort in behalf of her doomed
husband. She thinks the Governor
might possibly commute the sentence
to life imprisonment. Mrs. Collins
petition to the governor contains
about 1000 names among them eight
of the jury that found the verdict.
She could have obtained, she said,
5000 signatures in Pike and Mont
gomery counties if she had had any
way to get around to e the people.
Sentiment in her husbands favor, she
also said, had greatly changed since
he was sentenced. Judge Robinson
would not sign her document. The
sad and anxious wife is rather a pre-
possessing looking lady, the same age
(25 years. Of her unfortunate hus'
band, and the couple have two small
children.

Correspondence OF the Ledger.

correspondence OF tile Ledger.
MoNTRosE, Iowa, July 21.-I write
you from this point, where we came,
in company with friends to spend a
few weeks. We are here at Bluff
Park, which is said to be the grand
est park on the Mississippi. 1t is
being arranged to be used for a sum-
mer resort and also for camp meet
ings, literary societies. and Sunday
school conventions. Lots are sold
for S25 each and many of them now
contain beautiful cottages, where the
city people reside during the sum-
mer. The secretary informed us
that Doctor Wayman and wife had
just left here, and that the Doctor
gave an excellent lecture during last
week. He bought a lot and will
make this his summer resort. Up to
Wednesday next the lectures on
scientific subjects will continue, and
then the camp meeting will COM
mence. The great revivalist, Har.
rison, viii be here on Wednesday.
We have a nice tent, furnished will
cots and bedding, which cost us only
$4.75 until August 9Th. Meals from
ten cents up to fifty cents, just owing
to how hungry one is. The officers
are very accommodating, and as we
are with one of the staunches'
methodists of Audrain, we think VIC
will get through all right and have &
very pleasant time. Boat riding
bathing painting and the Observator,
(Which is over 400 feet from the leve
of the river) go to make up the EN-
ployment of the visitors. The weathe'
is very warm, and every one is wish
ing for rain. The crops look yer.
much as they do in Missouri. Tn
people here say many go over t.
Nauvoo to get their whisky, ant
smuggle it into town. The warmes
night we've had since we left home
we spent in Louisiana, where W
stayed in a room, with one window
which let in all the warm air of tn
kitchen. Louisiana, hasn't near q
good hotels as Laddonia, and "
pity the travellers that stop there.
!, There are lots of Sanctitied peopl
in thus vicinity but they refuse
have anything to do with the cam
meeting. They stand alone here.

The Mexico Cemetery.

We had the pleasure this week OF
riding out to the cemetery with Su.
perintendent Pratt. Under Mr.
Pratt's superintendency and Mr..
Bradley's sextonship the cemetery
looks better than we every saw it,
Many valuable improvements have
been made. A good sidewalk runs
clear to the cemetery. A road has
been opened clear around the GENE
terry and is being graded. Hitchine
posts are being put in all. over ths
grounds and new automatic gates
have been put up. Mr.. Bradle,
keeps the graves neat and clear o
weeds and all the sprouts closel,
trimmed out. The Mexico Cemeter,
is to-day one of the prettiest ans
best managed in the state.

ARCHBISHOP KENRICK AT MEXICO.
Over Eighty Catholics Cenfirmed.-The
Mexico Church in u Flourish
Ing Condition.

The beautiful and impressive sac
rament was administered by the most
Rev. Archbishop Kenrisk, of this the
archdiocese of st. Louis, in the Cath
Ole church of this city on Friday
last. The Archbishop was assisted
by the very Rev. Father Brady, Vicar
General of the diocese. Father Haar,
of Martinsburg, and the resident
clergyman, Father Dempsey. Mass
having been said by the very Rev.
Father Brady, then approached the
communion rail over eighty persons
tie receive the sacrament of confirma-
ton, ranging in age from about ten
years TO those of silver locks, and
several of whom were converts.
The Archbishop has been absent
from st. Louis since the 30th of
June, during which time he has tray
elled over the several counties OF
Northeast Missouri, administering
confirmation at some eighteen OF
nineteen different points and to some
1900 persons. Many of the points
visited were off the railroad, requir.
ing long and tiresome drives. Al
every place he was the recipient Of
the warmest welcome and affection,
and when services were finished he
met the people and expressed the
satisfaction he felt in the substantial
improvements observable everywhere.
His episcopate is remarkable for its
number of years and the wonderful
growth of the church. He was con.
secrated bishop Nov. 80, 1S41, and
St. Louis was then but a city of 49,
900 inhabitants and but four Catho'
lie churches. Now within the city
limits alone there are forty-fve Cath
Ole churches.
The Archbishop is considered the
best linguist in the Catholic church
in America, being able to discourse
fiuently in English, Spanish, French
German, italian and the Polish Ian
guages, besides being a thorough
Greek, Latin and Hebrew scholar
and well versed in several Orienta
languages.
He shows no signs of fatigue from
his long journey, and his bright, cleaI
eyes and firm step do not indicate hi
advanced age. On leaving Mexico
this venerable and venerated prelat'
carried the kindly wishes of all whit
saw him, whether Catholic or other
wise, and is now resting at his hom'
in st. Louis, having made but on
stop-at Montgomery City-afte
leaving here.

LADDoS1A, July 22.-Last night
about IL O'Clock Owen Richardson, q
young man about twenty-one years
of age, living about two miles east Of
this place, was asleep on the depot
platform when q freight train from
the west came in. The noise Of the
train partially aroused him and he
staggered across the track in front of
the train and was struck by the en-
CINE and badly injured having one
arm cut entirely off and leg badly
mangled and severely injured about
the head. The unfortunate young
mans wounds were dressed and A.
terwards he was taken to his home,
and at present there is little hope OF
his recovery. X. Q. Z.
Mexico weekly ledger., 1885-07-23
How Will It be Paid I?

Several parties ask how this $4,000
is to be paid if no extra tax can be
levied. The answer is easy enough.
The income of the city is over ST.
900; it is of course spent every year.
Sometimes it goes into work that
helps the city and sometimes it don't.
What We want to do now is to fz
things so that every year $500 OF
this money will go for water. In this
way we are sure to get at least this
much of our revenue well spent.
Those who are in favor of this ides
will vote for water.

PRICES RAID ONTHE BURGLARS q
Price Ragsdale Shoots the Door Out of
His H0Hse.-Did Not sect HIS
Man."

The harness business and sssich
like" has been very good and Dame
Fortune smiled on Price Ragsdale.
He had several hundred dollars in
hard stuff, which he is wont to carry
in his clothes and vulgarly call his
Doodle. Prices conscience is very
good and he sleeps rather soundly
when he thinks no one is going to try
to hold out on him. Anew nights since
he thought he heard a burglar around
the house and the next day he Dor
rowed Ed. Taylor's pistol and said
the nan that got his money would
have to cold deck him. Taylor told
Ed. Pitcher and Dick Graham that
Price was loaded for bear and look
ing for burglars every night. They
went and told his wife they would
work him that night if she would
stand in. About IL O'Clock that
night the boys rugged a tick-tack OIL
Prices door and got behind the
wood shed to pull the string and see
if the elephant would walk the wire.
Price heard the noise and told his
wife that ''the burglar was back
again" He got out of bed and stepped
close to the door with his pistol
while she covered up her head te
keep him from hearing her laugh
Price shouted, "Who is there?" Thu
boys pulled the string and Price shot
the door full of holes. Price ther
opened the door, expecting as usua
to e his man fright in the door,
But no! there were the boys setting
on the fence smoking. Price says i
he had had another load in his gu1
he would have given them a dose o.
shack medicine" just for luck.

Water for Tires.

Mexico at the present time is at
the mercy of a fire. When we get
waterworks q fire can be handled
here as well as 1t can be In ST. Louis.
Six or eight streams can be turned
on to a burning building and il nee.
essary wash it away. Mexico will
have to expend $1,000 for an engine
and hire an engineer if we do not gel
the waterworks. Water will do away
with all this expense

The Race.

The Fulton horse was short just
one-half a second in its race against
time here last Thursday. The horse
is a good one for a green trotter.
The first heat was trotted IN 2:5S "a,
the second in 1855 1-2, and the last
in 1850 IL. The horse was to trot
in 2:5O in three trials and he came
very near doing it. There was a
good crowd present and all enjoyed
the exhibition. The Mexico boys
want the Fulton boys to bring over
another horse.
