MIR. PURNELL'S IDEA.
1t is a Good One and Should be
Acted Upon Favorably by
Those Interested.

Referringto the appointment of a
committee on outside amusementby
the Fair Directors. Mr.. G. f. Pur-
nell, OF the "Famous," said yes
terday:
81 think it a very good plan, and
/ believe that, properly managed,
the biggest crowd drawn by any
fair outside of st. Louis will be
found right here in Mexico. | am
of the opinion that a trades pro-
cession during the fair would not
be a success; late summer is a bad
season in which to make a display
in almost every line. Besides, we
have had one trades display and
Il change can dono harm.
"NoW, | think the best thing
possible for this entertainment COM
mittee to do is to arrange Il grand
open air concert Of one or two hun
dred voices to take place OF a large
elevated platform in the Court Hous
yard, the programme to be varied
by music by the Fair band and the
two theatre orchestras. | would
suggest, III case this idea of NINE is
adopted, that the concert be given
on Wednesday night. The enter
tainment should not cover more
than IL hour-say from $50 to
$50; for that would give every
body q chance to attend one of the
theatres the same evening. | be-
lieve, with our great Fair, two the
aires, base ball, a grand musical
festival and a display of fireworks
Friday night at Hardin Park, we
would have the biggest crowd ever
together in the State, outside of

GONE WRONG.
Honest Jim" Kesler Deserts his
Family-Accused of Forgery.

James kesler, eX-JUstice Of the
Peace for Salt River township, and
Il prominent citizen from the south
ern part of the county, has left for
parts unknown. For some time
Jim has been financially embar-
rassed and rather under a cloud,
and it turns out now that some OF
his transactions were crooked as
clerk of his school district. He
got into financial trouble and it is
now alleged that he forged seven
different names to seven different
notes. Among the names he used
were those of his brother, William
o. 'Dishman, William Byrns and
others. 1t is claimed that he went
away full-handed just before the
Grand Jury met, but we cannot
believe such to be the case. He
leaves a wife and several children
who know nothing of his where
abouts. Kesler came of an old and
fine family, and no MAJ stood high
er for honesty and integrity before
these late transactions came to
light. Ifan effort is made to catch
jim, there will be no trouble, as a
good description of him would
easily trace him, if pushed by in
telligent detectives. His family
have the sympathy Of all who know
them in this, their hour Of distress,
when deserted by him who should
be their protector III time oftrouble

q. W. Phillips has just arrived
from the farm of j. b. Machin, 4
miles west Of this place, where he
held an inquest over the dead body
of the latter. The evidence show
ed that on last evening about dusk
Mr.. Macliin got his revolver and
stepped off a few feet from the
house, placed the deadly weapon
to the left side and emptied TWO
chambers into his body, producing
almost instant death. At the sound
of the pistol his wife ran out and
he embraced her saying, Good
bye! May God hess you !" Two
papers of poison were found on
his person, some of which he has
evidently taken. The cause of his
suicide Is unknwn, even to his wife
and children. He was 80 years
of age, well-to-do financially and
liked by all who knew him. He

about the child, and sent for a

told us the best thing we could do,
was to 60 ahead and give the
remedy. We used about half Of "

who was 50 low ,thathe had no use of
himself. We thought SO much of

TO SEE HIM DIE.
MaxwelI's Mother and Sister Come
From England to See Him.

81. Louis, Mo, June 3.-As the
Vandalia train slowly steamed into
the Union depot yesterday morn
ing at s O'Clock an unusual hustle
was noticeable among the railway
officials, police officers, and the few
loiterers or travellers to be found
there at that hour of the day. 1t
had been rumored that the mother
and sister of Maxwell was on the
train.
Presently two refined, delicate,
pale-faced ladies emerged from the
car. Although both wore thin
wells it was easy to see that one was
not far from fifty years of age and
the other was still in her teens.
p. w. Fauntleroy, Maxwell S at
torney, greeted the ladies as they
stepped from the car and urshered
them into the depot.
"My daughter and | had quite a
pleasant voyage over here" she
remarked, although / was a trife
sea sick, but my daughter enjoyed
the salt water very much"
When an accident turned the
conversation toward Maxwell the
tears came into the good lady's
eyes.
81 am sure he is innocent" she
said, 81 know he is" Then she
turned the conversation about her
daughter Annie and her happy
life in the merry old England.
Annie also conversed with rare
conversational power. Her fuen,
cy she evidently inherited from
Schoolmaster Brooks, who, as all
who met him agreed, was a charm
ing entertainer.
A 10 O'Clock the ladies again
took a hack and were driven di-
rectly to the Four Courts.
A guard hastily carried the news
to Maxwell, who was sitting quiet
ly reading in his cell almost oppo-
site, about 100 feet away. With a
spring the little man was out of his
cell and he ran hastily across the
intervening space to where his
mother and sister stood.
The interview lasted but a short
time, but as Mrs. Brooks and her
daughter left the jail they could no
longer restrain their pent-up emo
tious and sobbed bitterly as they
again took their seats in their car
riage.
Both Mrs. and Miss Brooks ex-
pect to call upon Governor More
house in a few days.

SHE WAS UP TO SNUFF.
How a Robust Wife Gets in Her
Work on an Unfathful
Husband.

n scene-a mild term indeed
took place in the western part of
the city one evening last week, in
which figured II man. his wife and
another woman. The man referred
To, with the wife, boards within 4
half dozen blocks of the Court
House and is looked upon by the
few who know him as being u fair
sort of Il fellow. The relations be-
tween the married pair, while not
particularly pleasant, seemed to he
rather friendly, and everything
moved along smoothly until some
time last week, when the two were
heard quarreling. Those who
overheard the war of words thought
little OF the matter, however, until
later in the week, when the above
mentioned scene opened their eyes
to the realization that ''the green
eyed monster had been getting in
his work with a vengeance.
1t seems that, all TO herself, the
wife had suspected her lord Of in
fidelity for some time, but had not
faced him with any accusations
until the two were heard quarrel
ing. He, of course, denied that he
had acted III any way not strictly
according to Hoyle, and, it seems,
lett his wife fully convinced that
he was the only model husband in
the State. But the wife had an
idea of her own all the time.
"A woman torgives sin, but
never meanness.' On the evening
following the fuss, the husband re-
manned at his boarding house and
stayed with his wife like Il good
husband ought. But Oh the next
night, when he had finished his
supper, he put on his Sunday coat,
brushed his hat and left the
house. His wife still had her
little idea, and as soon as it
became dark, threw a loose cloak
over her head, and, armed with a
lissome cowhide, sailed forth. She
seemed to know what she was
about, for she at once struck a brisk
gait in a westerly direction. With
in half a dozen blocks of the Sala-
mander works in the West End,
she took up an alley and then
climbed a fence. The night was
well settled by now and no one
saw her as she crept through the
yard to the back window of the
house. \ light burned low in the
room from which the window Open
ed, and Us the wife gazed through
the Enclosed blinds she saw a
sight that made her blood tingle,
and concentrated all her ire in one
little lump, ready for action.
She didn't watch long-she only
cared to satisfy herself that it was
her husband whom she saw with
his feet perched up on the mantle
in Il home like fashion; and that it
was nobody else but her own pop
sey-wopsey who had his arm
around some young woman whom
she didn't know and didn't want
to get acquainted with. When
she was fully satisfied, she stepped
to the side door, openedit, stepped
in and turned up the light. This
was all done before the husband
could remove his feet from the
mantle, and his wife saved him
the trouble. The innocent(O wife
is no SLOUGH under London Prize
Ring, Marquis Of Queensberry or
any other rules, and the way she
made her lord dance out OF the
little house and down the street to
the tune other cow hide was right
funny.
The next day the husband was
at work at his place of business as
usual, but he has no night key
now and never leaves the house
after 5 O'Clock p. m.
