MARRIED HER HERE.
John Miller, of Central City,
Nebraska, IS Looking for
His Wife.

The following letter was receiv-
ed from Central City, Nebraska,
Wednesday by Chief Huebler, of the
St. Louis police:
DEAR SIR-Four years ago I
married girl of your city at Mex
leo, Mo-, she being a waitress at
the hotel where | was boarding. |
knew her only six weeks before
and we went to Roodhouse, H., to
live. | had been drinking very hard
before we were married but | was
sober the six weeks / lived with
her. | then got discouraged and
left my wife and have not seen or
heard of her since. | have a good
position here and have been sober
for over a year, and feel it my duty
to try and live the rest of my life
with her. Her maiden name was
Nellie Foley. Her father is John
Foley, teamster i'll the employ OF
a man named Bonsack, and | wish
you would try to find her.
JOHN MILLER.
The st. Louis police have in
vestigated the case and find that
Foley is employ ed by Fred Bon
sack, builder, at 1921 Hickory
street, that city, and it is probable
that a reconciliation between the
two may be effected. The Foley
girl is remembered well by a num-
Der of persons in this city. She
was employed as a waitress at diff
ferent hotels for sometime.

THE FIRST APPLICANT.
Acceptance by Young Couple of
The Fair Associatlon's Offer.

The first acceptance ofthe special
premiums offered by business men
to the couple who will be married
at the Fair, was received by the
editor ofthe LEDGER Thursday, and
the application is now in the hands
of Secretary J. A. Glandon.
The gentleman and lady who are
so lucky as to secure all of the val
liable premiums offered by the
business men of Mexico come high
ly recommended for morals and
responsibility. The letter making
the application is straightforward
and exceedingly business like in
tone. The writer states that he ac-
cepts in good faith, "means busi-
ness" and hopes he is the first ap-
piicant. He says he saw the an
nouncement of the special pre-
miums in the LEDGER.

The Country Boys Advantage.

From the ST, Louis Rural World.
A country boy is apt to sigh for
the grand opportunities of the
children of the metropolis. Yet if
heis possessed ofintellect, ambition
and industry he suffers mistaken
grief. His seclusion and loneliness
prove positive advantage. De-
prived oi the privilege of seeing
and hearing the things that trans
pire in the cities, he falls to read
ing and thinking. Year after year
he absorbs books and newspapers,
and becomes so well informed
about matters in general that lit
tie travel makes him quite man
of the world.
Nothing will surprise him SO
much as the ignorance that pre-
walls in the cities. He will find
himself frequently informing his
associates about matters that have
been under their noses since child
hood, but which they have never
heard of. A visitor to New York
made six inquiries before he found
an individual who knew of the
Astor Library. He expressed sur
prise to an old New Yorker, who
replied that there was nothing
strange about it, as it was the habit
of city people TO attend only to
matters that personally concern
them. 1t may be after all that the
poor city boy gets narrower view
OF lie than the poor country youth.

Their Business Booming.

Probably no one thing has caused
such general revival of trade at
j. F. Llewellyn's drug store as
their giving away to their cussom-
ers Of so many free trial bottles of
DR.. Kings New Discovery for Con-
sumption. Their trade is simply
enormous in this very valuable
article from the tact that it always
cures and never disappoints.
Coughs, Colds, Asthma, Bronchitis,

diseases quickly cured. You can
test it before buying by getting a

On The Right Track.

Senator Vest, who has arrived in
Missouri from Washington, has de-
clarei his intention of calling a
meeting about June / of the Senate
committee appointed to investigate
the alleged beef combine. He an
nounces that testimony will be
taken during the summer and that
the whole matter will be probed to
the bottom. That is what the
people want. The charge that
combine exists which keeps up the
price of beef and reduces the price
of cattle has given rise, during the
past winter, to harmful and
misehievous legislation in several
States, and in others bills are now
pending whick seriously menace
the dressed beef industry. What
the public desires to know are the
real facts in the case, and the COM
mittee, of which Mr.. Vest is chair
man, should be able to obtain them.
If a Combine" exists which is
harmful to the cattle-growers and
extorts an unfair profit from con-
sumers, it is just and proper that
it should be made known, and that
means should be devised for break
ing its power. The object should
be, if such abuses are practiced, to
correct them, but this can be done
without destroying great and
useful industry. The object of the
different State Legislatures which
have agitated this question has
been, apparently, to wipe out the
packing houses instead of bringing
them under such regulations as the
facts may show to be needful. In
the hands of a Senatorial committee
which is entirely judicial in its
temper and construction the true
situation should be discovered
without heat or prejudice, and then
such steps can be taken as the case
may demand. 1t is to be hoped
that the work of the committee will
be so thorough as to leave no ques-
ton as to the truth and accuracy of
its report.

ut, but at the time stated that he
wanted it distinctly understood
that he introduced the bill by re-
quest and was not for it. Only
last week we find from the st. Louis
papers and the Jefferson City Tri-
bune that he made the following
statement in regard to the matter !:
Senator Clay thought the pend
ing local inspection bills were not
good measures. The one pending
in the house had an amendment
e-sempting farmers from having
the stock butchered by them in
spected, and in his opinion that
provision opened the doors wide
enough to annul the whole bill"
So it will be seen that Clay and
the LEDGER are together in their
opposition to the BILL Why, tn en-,
this nasty effort to open up old
sores in the party ? We also find
the following in the editorial re-
terred to:
"But there was more than one
cheap lawyer doing the heavy edi-
torial work on the LEDGER yester-
day. Litigation was dull and the
disgruntled condition of the LED
GER afforded a convenient medium
for disseminating the aistempered
views of couple of self-opinion-
ated statesmen who more than once
in the recent past have had their
political noses twisted out Of
shape.'
We notice the above only to say
it is a lie made out of whole
cloth. Every line of the editorials
referred to was written by the
editor of this paper, and if the edi-
tor of our contemporary will put
up 500 we will put up the same
amount, the money won to go to
some charitable institution, if We
can't In thirty minutes prove to
even the satisfaction of our contem-
perary the truth of our statement
and the untruthfulness of its state
ment. Now put up or acknowl-
edge that you have written what is
not so. Without any known rea-
SON, our contemporary every once
in a while accuses some one out
side of the office of writing edi-
torials for the LEDGER, and just so
often falsifes.

cLARK's SENSATION.
The Audrain Representative In
PRODUCES an Interesting Reso-
luton IN the House.

JEFFERSON Cry, Mo-, April II.
In the House yesterday morning
Clark of Audrain stirred up the
members to a high pitch of excite
ment by a resolution setting forth
that room in the Capitol building
is being used to furnish free drinks
to the members to obtain their favor
in opposition to liquor bills, and
providing that committee of FIVE
be appointed to investigate it. I'm
mediately there was a wave of
excitement through the House and
the lobby. Hunter of Moniteau,
who has opposed the license bill,
heartily favored the resolution.
Shaw of St. Genevieve denied that
the liquor interests had furnished
the liquor or opened the reem and
said he courted the fullest investi-
cation. Fogie of Schuyler favored
the resolution. Young of St. Joseph
thought 1t scheme to get up an
espionage over the conduct of men,
bers Thurmond made a lengthy
speech in favor of it. The morning
hour having expired, the regular
order was called for, which shut off
action. Fogle moved to suspend
the rules to put the resolution on
its passage. To do that requires a
two-thirds vote. 1t failed, and the
resolution went over until to-day.
The room said to be used for the
dispensing uf free liquors is the
room of the House Committee on
Roads and Highways, of which
Tuttle is chairman, but it was la
belled "Senate Committee on Re-
trenclment and Reform" When
the matter came up this morning
and Tuttle learned that his room
was the place in question, he h d
it locked up. 1t had been used
without the consent or knowledge
OF Mr.. Tuttle's committee. The
matter will come up again in the
morning. Mr.. Clark has expressed
his purpose to push the resolution
to vote. It is stated that Senator
Moran visited the room again yes
terday morning, but found himself
barred out by order of the commit
tee and the liquor packages re-
moved.
The resolution mentioned above
is as follows:
WHEREAS, It is openly charged
in the public prints, and generally
conceded to be true, that the room
in the Capitol building labelled
HSenate Committee on Retrench-
ment and Referm' is used as a
saloon to furnish Tree drinks to the
members and all other persons
whose influence can be obtained in
opposition to a proposed liquor
bill, now pending in the House,
and,
WHEREAS, Such a proceeding is
a direct insult to every member of
the Thirty-ffth General Assembly,
and d disgrace to the State of Mis-
souri, therefor, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of
this House that a committee be ap-
pointed by the Speaker to proceed
at once to investigate this report,
and that said committee be clothed
with power to send for papers, ad-
minister oaths and report their
findings to the House as soon as
possible.

ENTERpRIsIEG WEBER
He Will Put IN q Sash and Door
Mandatory at Once.

Gus Weber has long had under
consideration plan to establish.
sash and door factory in this city
After studying the matter carefully,
Mr.. Weber has concluded to put
his ideas into effect and according
ly, he has purchased the necessary
machinery and is now building !.
factory in North Mexico, on Jeffer-
son street. Just as soon as the
building is completed and the ma
chinery placed IN position, work
will be commenced.
In conversation with a LEDGER
reporter concerning the project, Mr..
Weber talked as follows Thursday:
81 have thought for several
years that a sash and door factory
would pay in this city, but fer diff
ferent reasons postponed carrying
my plans into effect until now. I
will not manufacture blinds at first,
but have no doubt that will put
in machinery for that purpose be-
fore many months. | have no ade-
quate idea as to what my force will
be from the start, but I will en-
ploy all the men I can find work
for. My principal reason for think
ing an enterprise. of this sort will
pay here is the difficulty the car
penters have always had in secur-
ing odd size doors and sash. When
they do succeed in getting what
they want it is always at an ad-
vanced cost. I also think I can
furnish the run of doors and sash at
as low a figure as St. Louis dealer
can lay them down here".
