The opera went off quite smoothly,
and for amateurs the presen tation was
very good, the prime dome pretty

A YOUTHFUL RUNAWAY.
Maggie Poncelot, Aged Is, Tries
to Elude Her Relatives
Nabbed by Lane.

Miss Julia Poncelot, of Fergu-
son, Mo-, came to Mexico yester-
day afternoon in search of her sis
ter Maggie, who ran away from
home over year ago. She did
did not know where her sister had
gone, but she was under the i'm
preston that the little girl had
sought a home somewhere in this
section. Miss Poncelot at once
sought Officer Lane and that Off
cial set about making inquiries.
He learned that the little girl had
lived at Benton several months
ago, coming from that place to this
city. Here she went to work in
the family of Morgan Day, of the
Electric Light works, subsequently
quitting there and going to the res
idence of Charles Willingham.
She soon made another change and
this time found work with Mrs. A.
L. Campbell. When found by the
officer she was at the Windsor
Hotel, where she was seeking to
arrange for other employment. She
was asked if she would like to see
her sister, at which she replied
smilingly, "Wouldn't l, thought"
Officer Lane then brought Miss
Poncelot in and after moment the
trio walked off. The little girl
soon displayed her impatient ma.
ture in a remark to the effect that
she wished her sister had have re-
manned at home and left hei
to battle with fortune with.
out assistance. The little girl is
quite pretty and in manner very
'cute." Those who witnessed hel
actions at the Windsor last night
offer to bet that the little runaway
will not remain at home a week.
1t is not known for sure wha'
possessed the girl to run away, but
it appears that she was not salts
fed with her home at Ferguson
Her parents are dead and it is
guessed that all did not go to sui
the child's fancy. Maggie wa!

with the recommendation that it
be referred to the Committee on
Ways and Means, of which Senator

cal change in the entire system of

poses to tax the gross earnings OF
all railroads operated in the State.
1t divides the roads into four classes
with a view of lessening taxes on
branch increasing the taxation on
good-paying trunk roads.

MEXICO Mo-, , March 21.-No at
tempt was made to remove me un-
til the fall of 1885, when my voting
the Republican ticket was made the
cause to ask for my removal. Mr..
Cleveland examined the petition
and then the standing of the office
and then said: There is only one
way you can get this man out and
that is by bringing charges against
him, and they will have to be good
ones" The matter rested here I'M
til the next summer, when charges
ges of offensive partisanship were
gotten up and presented to the
President, who soon sent to this
town post-office inspector with
instructions to examine the citizens
as to the charges. This gentleman
came to me, showed me the charges.
Some of them we're from Republi-
cans, one of whom asked my re-
moval on the ground that I was the
severest and bitterest enemy of
Democracy he ever knew, I look
ed them over roughly and said to
him: eyes, sir, l am a Republican,

the charges of brutal conduct and
oppression il office are false and
will be so considered and pronounc-
ed by every man in town." After
completing his investigation, being
asked how he made it. he replied :
Il cannot find any. fault about this
man" I learned that he reported
to the President that he found me

charges. First, that | was the

tennial of Washington's inaugura-

BLEW OUT THE GAS.
John T. Leeper. of Galloway Coun-
ty, Deep in the Soup for
the Second Time.

John T. Leeper, of Concord,
Galloway County, Mo-, has again
distinguished himself The last
time he visited Mexico be figured
as somnambulist and walked out
of a third story window of the
Ferris House. He fell into the
back yard and the next morning
was taken up and Strengthened out
by the doctors. His somnam-
bulistic adventure laid him up for
two weeks and when he was able
to walk he swore he would never
drink another drop. He then re-
turned to his home amidst the
steep hills of the Kingdom and for
several months his name has not
been heard.
Yesterday, Leeper revisited
Mexico. He was sober when he
arrived, but the Philistines soon
had him and the first drink was
precursory Of many mere. AS soon
as he had reached the stage at
which he felt at peace with all man.
kind and didn't care much how
the world wagged, he saw the
street light at the Windsor corner
He made for it as straight as his
somewhat wabbly legs could carry
him, and bracing up as he entered
the Office, called for room. He
was assigned to an apartment on
the second floor and he im mmediate-
ly retired. At an early hour this
morning an empleye, passing
through the hall, smelled gas and
an investigation followed. After
considerable searching, 1t was
discovered that the smell came
from Leeper's room and an en-
trance was forced at once. The
bibulous lodger was at once hauled
out of bed, and strangely enough,
he was alive. The gas was turned
on, and the atmosphere in the
room was choking. How Leepel
ever lived through 1t cannot be ex.
planned. The facts that transom the
was open and the gas is not the
coal product may in a measure &C.
count for his escape.

A New Directory
NO. 81.

y
There was only a fair attendance
of stockholders at the meeting call
ed by the president of the Mexico
Mining and Manufacturing Com
pany at the City Halt Saturday
The meeting was called to order by
President Hisey, who stated that
the object of the meeting was to
elect new Directory. e. Leslie
Ferris and J. F. Lewellyn were ap-
pointed tellers. Upon motion of r.
W. White, the secretary was in
strueted to cast the vote of the stock
holders for the old Board of Direc-
tors, as follows: r. Hisey, J. G.
Bassford, II. A. Ricketts,, c. +.
Clark and A. c. Barnes.
A motion was made by NJ. Y.
Duncan that the stockholders in
struct the directors to resume boring
and continue while the funds last.
Pending the motion, letter from
George Robertson, the Cempany's
lawyer, was read. A synopsis of
this letter was published in the
LEDGER sometime ago.
Messrs. Lewellyn, NJ. Y. Duncan
and others favored going ahead with
the work asfthe derrick and other
property would shortly decay. If
work was to be done, it should be
pushed at once
Major Ricketts,, A. G. Turner
and others favored waiting till after
the legal matters were settled.
Mr.. Duncan's motion, which was
reduced to writing, was as follows:
"Resolved, that tits the sense of
the stockholders Of the Mexico
Mining Co. that the directors pro-
ceed to bore the hole, under con-
tract with Scofeld, until in their
wisdom it is best to stop"
The motion was carried unani-
| mously.
G. Leslie Ferris moved that the
balance of the money due from the
stockholders be collected at once,
even if suit has to be brought for
the same.
The motion prevailed.
The newly elected Directors will
meet at the office of Lakenan d
Barnes at 6 O'Clock this evening, to
organize.
