Not as Slick as Sneed,

William George, a wealthy farm
er of Busce, Illinois, was swindled
out of $1,000 yesterday in a bold
manner. He met a nice-looking
man at a political meeting Thurs
day, who said he was from Bloom
ington, Ill.,, and was looking for a
farm for his sister. George said
be had a good farm, and invited
the stranger to drive down and see
it. This the stranger did. Yes
terday, after driving over the
premises, he said he would buy.
They started back to Busco, and
en- route met a man on the road,
who had a crooked mouth and was
otherwise disfigured. He stopped
the buggy and inquired of the oc-
cupants if they had met a stranger
in a buggy.
The same scheme that was work
ed on David Sneed, north of Mex
leo several weeks ago, was tried and
in this case worked. George bet
his 5000 and picked up the wrong
card.

GREETING.
The Great Leader Given a Perfect
Ovation-St. Louis EXPOSE
ton Notes.

Correspondence of the Ledger.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, September 90
The topic of general interest now is
Gilmore and his incompatible
band. The audience was wildly
enthusiastic the opening night and
Gilmore must have been pleased
with his welcome. Bowling to the
right and to the left the greatleader
stood, baton IN hand, his breast
covered with ~glittering medals, re-
turned to us hale and cherry after a
years absence. The opening piece,
the overture of Tannhauser, was
given with great effect, when in
answer to an encore, with wonder
full tact and good taste, he gave us,
"Should Aud Acquaintance be For
got" I do lot think 1 have heard
such applause, o witnessed such
excitement since I stood in the
Convention Hall and heard the
name of Grover Cleveland given
for the Presidency. He has all of
the old favorites with him-Lefebre
Bent. Raffayolo, Lax, Martus, Ur,
Whittier and Higgins; the last is
still the youngest member of the
band. He claims much new music,
and the light airs and melodies
were never more melodious. "Pay
day on the Old Plantation" per-
formed by them during their South
ern tour, will be one of this seasons
favorites. AS these lively echoes
from the South became familiar the
the audience could not help but re-
spond and the patter of feet of old
and young kept time to the merry
strains. "Call me Thine Own" will
also be a catchy number. 1t has
almost superseded the wedding
march of Mendelsshon and Lohen-
grin at fashionable weddings in the
past year. Gilmore's descriptive
pieces are put before US in a grander
scale than ever. He paid a merit
ed compliment last evening to Mr..
C. Kunkle, our gifted composer, in
his rendition of an Alpine storm.
Mr.. Kunkle is a resident Of St.
Louis, well known and honored in
his profession. He also introduces
more solos this season. The flute
and cornet never lose the power
they possess over the sympathies.
If any instruments can reach the
tenderest chords of the human
heart it is their plaintive notes. |

rounded by friends and relatives,
his life passed peacefully out. He
was conscious To the last, but was
unable ia articulate.
No one will be missed more
than DR.. Russell. For years he
has been a familiar figure in Mex
leo history. A leader in his pro-
fession and with men, he was uni
versally liked and respected. OF
late years his health was not good
but he kept up his practice with
very little loss of time.
DR.. Russell was the possessor of
a fine intellect. He was a good
speaker and his speeches always
sparkled with originality. His
host of friends remember with
pleasure the many anecdotes with
which he often RECALLED them.
The esteem in which he was
held by the community in illustrat-
ed by the interest manifested in
his condition for several days
prior to his death. The number of
visitors at his residence was very
large and at the hour of his death
the house was full of those who
had gathered to look once more on
their beloved friend. Many were
admitted to the sick chamber and
those who went to the side of the
dying doctor were greeted with a
smile of recognition.
As outlined in the LEDGER last
week, DR.. Russell was Il student
and graduate of the well-known
Bowdoin College, being a class
mate of Names statesman, James
G. Blaine. While young he re.
moved to Kentucky. where by
turns he taught school and studied
medicine, graduating from the eel.

He moved to Mexico in 1865
where he has lived almost contiu-
uously since.

of no less than seventeen jails in

about the number of his years, and
his face grown over with soft beard

the number of jails from which he

one hard to hold. He talked free
