IMPORTANT TO sToCKMEN.
Meeting of the Interstate Com
mission at Jefferson City-Let-
ter from Green Clay.

To the Editor OF the Ledger.
THOMPSON, Mo. May 22.-l have
received letter of importance to
every farmer aud stock raiser, from
Abiel Leonard, Of Mt Leonard, Sa-
line county, one of the most sue
cessful and largest stockmen and
farmers of the State. Mr.. Leonard
states that on the 29th of this month
the Interstate Commission will
meet in jefferson City to hear the
case of Mr.. Leonard and L. B.
Chapel against the Chicago Il AL
ton Railroad Company, in which
the company overcharged about 25
per cent. oy the weighing system.
Mr.. Leonard requests me to give
notice to as many of the stockmen
and farmers as | can, and knowing
of no means on earth by which |
can reach so many as through your
paper, l try to give the matter the
public notice that its Importance
deserves. He asks me in the let
ter how many stockmen and farm
ers Audrain will send to help, by
their presence and wisdom, defend
their interests against the over
charges of this, one of the combina
tions that is fleeing the farmers
and stockmen of their hard earn
ings. Now, | ask, through you,
the same question OF the farmers
and stockmen of Audrain. How
many will go, and by their actions
prove to Messrs. Leonard and Chap
pei, and especially the Interstate
Commission, and more especially
than anyone else, the railroad, that
we not SO stupid that we don't
know when we are imposed on and
not SO penurious that we are afraid
of spending a nickle to defend our
selves and our interests? There is
not a man in this county that sells
fifty bushels of corn but, is interest
ed indirectly in the live stock mar
ket, and there are other things of
grave Importance to be acted on if
there is enough of the stockmen and
farmers present to give their actions
weight and prestige. There is not a
farmer or stockraiser but knows we
are badly imposed upon. Now,
who have we to thank for this? No
one but ourselves. Others turn the
screw a little tighter and we stay at
home nearly naked and try to starve
through it, and if it was not for the
great kindness of a benehcent
Providence, we would die trying TO
let everybody attend to our busi-
ness and make them rich for doing
it. The farmers and stockmen of
Audrain should meet at Jefferson
on the 18th and assist by their
presence and words in attending to
their own business and interest. Do
not stay at home and growl because
we are imposed on, as we have al
ways done.

me was followed carefully through
the evening and every number
showed excellent training. The
Young ladies and gentlemen con-
Quoted themselves admirably and
at once won favor from the immense
audience gathered before them. No
single event can be point out as
standing far ahead of the. others,
for in point of merit, none was de-

Henderson and Buckley were de-

own productions these efforts by the
youngmen deserve special mention.
These entertainments have come
to be regarded by the public as rare

ward to. The work done never
fails to place the management of
the schools high in the estimation
of their patrons. That nights au-

Sunday, The Germans of Mexico
are feeling proud now that they
soon will have German Lutheran

In the matter than the Germans oI

invite everybody TO get ready iol

Senator Vest.
From the Jefferson City Tribune

Senator George G, Vest, one of
Missouri's most distinguished sons,
is visiting the capital Missourians
everywhere are proud of this emf
nent statesman aud faithful public
servant. They are proud Of the
position he occupies in the Senate,
proud of the prominence which
Missouri enjoys by reason thereof.
Few men are so we'll equipped for
public service, and few have so
impressed themselves upon the
legislation of the country. There
is not a Democrat in the United
States Senate who combines so
many of the qualities of leadership
or upon whom the party and coun-
try so confidently rely. He has
been II fearless champion of Demo-
cratic principles and has led many
hot fight for Democratic suprem-
acy.
He is recognized as the most at
tractive speaker i'll the Senate, and
with the possible exception of Sen
ator Ingalls, excites the largest pub
lie interest. To his rare powers
debate he adds the prestige of one
of the ablest constitutional lawyers
upon the floor and an intimate
knowledge of every public ques-
ton. Missouri Is henored by this
mans presence in the Senate and
will keep him there SO long as she
has any appreciation of great ser
vices and duty we'll performed.
| JEFFERSON CITY, Mo, May 21.-
The simultaneous appearance here
last week of United States Senator
Vest, his friend Congressman
Heard of Sedalia and Congressman
| Wilson Of the St. Joseph District,
started a good deal of gossip about
the senatorial contest that is to
! take place in the State next year.
| Mr.. Wilson, it is said, is quietly
working for his brother-in-law,
Judge Elijah Norton, who retired
last January from the Supreme
Court. Judge Norton, it will be re-
membered, declined to be candi-
date for Governor last year on the
ground that he did not think it be-
coming the dignity of a Supreme
Court Judge to waliow in the poll
teal puddle, Now that he has
| been relieved of that restraint by
his retirement from the court it is
said he has buckled on his political
armor again and is preparing to
charge the senatorial fort, guarded
by Senator Vest and his men.

The German Church Question.

To the Editor of the Ledger.
BEAN CREEK, Mo-, May o.
Attempts are being made to build
a German Lutheran Church at Mex
leo. This is all well enough, but
the question in this case is, are
there enough Protestant Germans
in Mexico and vicinity to keep up
the church after it is built? If so,
it would be well enough to go on,
but if there are not enough, and if
it is intended to draw and coax
away some of the members from
the Bean Creek Church so as to
cripple it, it would be better not to
build a church in Mexico; for in
that case it would be better to have
only one church that can prosper,
than two that would net get along.
The German Church at Bean Greek
has at present a $500 debt, and i,
costs some of the members $50 a
year to meet the expenses. 1t is
expected and claimed by some of
the leaders in this movement, that
Mexico would bear most of the ex-
penses in building the church; but
it costs money after the same is
built, for it would cost about $500
yearly for a salary of a minister and
other expenses, and it is doubtful
if congregation in Mexico can
raise that amount.
| If the congregation at Bean
Creek and a congregation at Mex.
ice would keep only one and the
same minister, ali might be well
but as some of the leaders in thi:
movement, do not intend to dc
this, the probability is that the
Bean Creek Church would bt
crippled, and the church in Mex
