Councilman Pratt was detected to-
day in q hellish scheme to cause
hloodshed. He is superintendent Of
the cemetery, and has a beautiful lot
out there, which he wants to sell.
He made arrangements to have the
editors of the Mexico papers taken
out both at the same time, %ostensibly to
look at the improvements made, but,
as a matter of fact, his idea vas to
rid Mexico of one or both of the
Mexico editors. He had prepared a
brace of dueling pistols and engaged
seconds and surgeons; everything
was ready for butchery, but the re-
porters for the papers got on to the
terrible plan and told their prin-
clpals. When Supt. Pratt called for
Bob White he was informed he was
in Laddonia. He then called for S.
b. Cook and received information
that he was In Warrenton. AS mat
ter of fact, both of the wind-pro-
ducers were hiding under their desks
and trying to think up some new
| political lie.

City Cemetery.

In company with Supt. j. w. Pratt
we visited the cemetery and Hardin
Park and viewed the general improve
ments going on in the city, this
morning. Mexico has one of the
most beautiful cemeteries in the state
and it is we'll kept. Supt. Pratt takes
great pride in it and Benz. Bradley is
an able and willing sexton.
Under Pratt's administration an
elegant drive has been opened around
the cemetery. . Streets have been
laid off and paved with cinders. One
hundred hitching posts have been put
IN. The grass and trees are kept
trimmed and the graveyard is almost
I'm inviting home.
The sidewalk to the cemetery is
proving a great convenience. Many
who cannot afford q livery rig car
now visit the graves of their relatives
Mr.. Pratt informs us that he thinks
at no distant day the bodies in th'
old graveyard will be moved into thu
new one. We notice that the stree
to Hardin College is being macadam
lied the entire distance. This is
much needed improvement. Nearl
all the trees in Hardin Park are aliv
and in the spring this will be a mos
delightful resort.
Mr.. Pratt is mi of the hardes
working of the city officials and take
great pride in the city's affairs.

Origin Of "Chestnut."

To the Editor of the Ledger.
MEXICO, Mo-, Sept. 28.-Can you
tell me through your paper the origin
of Chestnut "Chestnut-b bell" etc?
DUDE.
A well posted writer says thst two
or three years ago a party OF young
folks of Pittsburg were enjoying
themselves at a Halloween party IN the
orthodox way, with apples, nuts, cider
and-jokes. One young man, who
had probably been reading mp an al
manac or a volume of Joe Miller's
for the occasion, fsirly deiuged his
companions with anecdotes. Some
were good. some were bad, some
we're neither good nor bad, but all
we're Enthusiastically aged. The young
man worked industriously at his anec-
dote mill and ground out his stories
at the rate of about SIX an hour for
several hours. His listeners good
naturally laughed at his venerable
witticisms until the hour of midnight
approached. Then a fun loving
young damsel devised a plan to STOP
his flow # talk.
Have Il chestnut, Mr.. Smith 2
she said, when the young man com
menced another story.
Thank you,' he replied. "As
was saying, when l saw the
Chestnut, did you say" said ont
of his hearers.
"No, but
"Try a few chestnuts,'' said ano'h
er.
81 have some,'' replied the unhap
py young man > "but, as I was say
ing, when I saw the
"ChestDuts," said the original con
spirator.
It was 10 use. The young ma
gave up his story telling, and th
name of "Chestnuts' has chung t
him ever since. The Pittsburg Penn
Press, which vouches for this story
goes to say that the joke on tn
Young man was retailed in every d
rection until an actor at n of th
opera houses heard it. He though
the word chestnut very expressive
and used it in the course of convers,
ton with his fellow Thespians in II
slangy ense. 1t was instantly caugl
D up by his companions, and within
> months the word chestnut to de
lignate a stale joke, rang through IL
dressing-roems of every theater fro
, New York to San Francisco. Now
has become part of the vernacnlar
the United States, and the pTimme
maiden and the stanchest deacon {
not disdain to use the expressi'
slang term occasionally.

to the majority of us, having been in
business here for many years prior to
their removal East. But, like many
others who have gone from among US,
they could not remain away. Know
ing and approaching the fact that
Mexico is a live business town. they
have again cast their lot with US, and
we all extend them a hearty welcome.
Since returning to Mexico Messrs.
Ferris & Son have purchased the
stock of hardware lately owned by
Smith & Cunningham, and removed
the same to the large four-story
brick, east side OF the square, erect
ed and formerly owned by G. D.
Ferris. They have added extensive
ly to the stock, and now have in store
everything that pertains to hardware
and farm machinery. They thor
oughly understand their business, be-
ing the oldest hardware men in this
section of the state.
G. d. Ferris began business in
this city in 1864; was Mayor of Mex
leo in 1871. The first house he
built was a small frame, afterwards
the large four-story brick, following
with many others, ornaments to the
city. Look where you will the eye
will fall upon some structure built by
G. D. Ferris. He sold out his husi-
ness to Gill & Co. and moved to Cen.
tralia. In 1882 he returned, in the
meantime having obtained a patent on

which he and Leslie have cleared
$4,000. They now own and operate
a large factory at Sl3 North Twenty.

NEW CHAPEL.
A New Chapel TO be Built for Hardin
College-Seating Capacity 1900
Lighted by Electricity, etc.

MIR. William Pollock has plans for
a new chapel for Hardin College, to
cost $4,000. The proposed chapel ID
not to be annexed to the College
building proper, but to no located on
the campus, and the ground plan of
the new building being 106x70 feet
will make quite a large building, the
seating capacity being 1900. There
will be a vestibule at the entrance
l0xls feet. The stage will be 36xl6,
and can be made larger. with dress
ing rooms 20x8, The new chapel is
to be lighted by electricity, and will
contain all modern improvements,
making it a very suitable place for
lecture courses, etc. There will be
but one story, but that is to be a very
high one. The seats are to be On a
slanting floor and are to form a curve
from the back of the building to the
stage, making it possible for every
one to obtain a good view Of the
stage from the n foer, there being
no galleries. The cost of the build
ing will be but $4,000, $4,000 Of
which the citizens are asked to con-
tribute. The advantages of such a
large chapel to the College and to
the citizens are numerous. There
will be no trouble in accommodating
all who wish to attend the College
exercises from time to time ; the new
chapel will make an elegant place for
lecture courses, ETC., etc, and more
than all, the citizens need not be
ashamed of the chapel, when the
College is packed with visitors from
a distance. The amount asked, ST.
900, should be raised without any
trouble, and we are sure it will be.
All the directors are heartily in favor
of the new chapel, as every citizen of
Mexico should be.
