Hon. G. F. CLARK's veterinary
bill is all right, reports to the con-
trary Notwithstanding. Mr.. Clark
returned from Jefferson City to-
day and in conversation with a
LEDGER reporter said: "The
veterinary bill 143 passed both
Houses and was signed by the
Governor with an appropriation OF
$A 600 for the next two years to
carry out the provisions of the law.
Later in the session the committee
on the University introduced a
revised bill Incorporating the vet
erinary bill introduced by me, with
the exception of the appropriation
clause, and the Secretary OF State
thought that was all relating to
that law and overlooked it and did
not have it printed in the session
acts that are just out, which will
cut no figure in its usefulness o,
destroy its value in any way"

Work the Prisoners.

The Mexico LEDGER is opposed
to worthless negroes and undeserv.
ing white men being confined in
the county Jail to live on first-class
board at the county's expense with
nothing to do but to feed them
selves. Such confinement is too
inviting for these classes. Put
them to hard labor for the public
while under sentence, and there
will be fewer who will choose con-
finement in the county Jail. We
heartily concur with the LEDGER in
these opinions.

raul.
The celebrated author of the power
full novel issued under the quaint title
of THAT Pretty Young Grip is at the
Hotel Ryan for a weeks stay.
When 100000 copies of the book were
sold within twenty days after it was
placed on sale, the public was not slow
to SurmSe that there was something in
the book behind the quiet title; and
when the curious glanced over the
novel at the news stands, especially over
pages IL. 40, 80 and l3l, they found that
they were not disappointed in their con-
lecture.
The plot of this remarkable book
opens out with crime ShrOuded in SO
deep and thrilling mystery that the
reader is held spell-bOund until he
solves it.
SO intense has been the interest in the
development of this story that the type
settlers in the printing house of Wynn
koop, Hallenbeck d Co., New York,
where the book was printed, laid wagers
freely as they received the manuscript
and set it into type, as to which one of
the three people implicated was the
slayer of the handsome debOnair Earl of
DunraVen on his wedding night.
Eminent lawyers in all parts of the
country, who have read this deep and
absorbing novel with surprise and de-
light, are warm i'll its praise. Doctors
are obliged to acknowledge that they
are puZZled-cOmpletely cOrnered-aS
to whether it was case of suicide or
foul murder, so cleverly are the facts
presented and woven around the crime,
until the last pages are reached, and
here they are met with a surprise so
astounding that they pronounce the
book the greatest masterpiece ever
given to the public.
Let it be thoroughly understood while
this book is intense in plot, 1t is novel
which every husband can place in the
hands of his wife, and every lover into
the hands of his sweetheart.
The ladieS-thOSe unerrlng and criti-
cal judges of novel, say to each other:
sit is a grand and pathetic love story;
no woman can read it without being
moved to tears" and yet young girls
will still sigh for love. even though they
weep tears of pity over the beautiful
herOine'S misfortune.
1t is said THAT Pretty Young Girl. J"
which is positively guaranteed TO be
Laura Jean Libbey's latest and best
story, far eclipses the wonderful novel
Miss MiddletOn's Lover" which she
brought out last year, and which took
the reading public by storm. The book
has the picture of the author on the out
side cover.
1t is good idea to glance over the
novel That Pretty Young Grip at the
news stands, especially over pages II, 10
and 131, whether one buys or not.

The Real Short Line.

There is a great deal of talk just now
In the papers about "Short Lines" to
this, that and the other point. From
some of the claims put forth the public
would get the iGea that the railroad
having the least mileage between two
given points is the "ShOTt Line" be-
yond question. But is it? Is no ac-
count to be made of time. comfort or &C
Communications? Is not the true "ShOrt
Line" the one which makes the best
time, has the smoOtheSt rOadbed and
furnishes the best accommodations? Ii
these considerations have any weight,
it will be found that 1.-The Burlington
is the real Short Line from the Twin
Cities to Chicago.
The mileage is little more than that
of one or two of the older lines, but it
makes the best running time, is the
only light-grade thOrOughfare, and has
AN equipment unequaled for elegance
and comfort.
The hrst train over the line, Oct. "a,
1856. made the run from st. Paul to Chi
cago in eleven hours and ten minutes
st. Paul TO La Crosse. Nov. 5, 1872 miles,
in 125 minutes-tlme that has never
been equaled or approached.
The idea that THE Burlington" is a
longer line than others is totally erro-
neous. Travellers will find it the Real
Short Line.
