URBAN WIENER,
Manufacturer of Fine Cigars and
Dealer in Smoking and
Chewing TObaccOS.
From the St Louis Trades Review

Urban Welmer, 16 South Jeffer-
son Street, established himself in
Mexico in 1888, in a small way, but
soon became known as a manu-
facturer of the finest cigars in this
market. Success always attends
energy, honesty and merit and he
soon built up a fine trade. To-day
he occupies a fine building, 2OxSO
feet, at 16 South Jefferson Street,
and gives constant employment to
twelve expert and experienced cigar
makers. The records of the col
lector of Internal Revenue Tor 1888
of the output of cigar manufactur-
ers in the State of Missouri, show
that he ranks eighth in the list
His principal brands are: "Caro-
lina'' and "My COMPLIMENTS ten
cents straight, and signature" and
"Tonies, rive centers. These cigars.
of the choicest leaf and handmade
in the most careful manner, rank
with the best. He keeps them up
to the standard and they ear always
be relied upon as of uniform and
Incompatible excellence. Mr..
Weimer also carries q full stock OF
the leading favorite brands OF
smoking and chewing tobaccos and
a complete assortment of pipes and
smokers articles. His trade ex-
tends all over eur own State and
also Kansas, Nebraska, Wisconsin
and Montana. He is a pushing
business man and a public spirited
citizen and we congratulate him
upon his well earned C and
brilliant prospects for the future.

UnPar aIleled Goodness OF an Innocent Man
On the GalI9Ws.
In q handsome mansion situated In n
lonely part of England there resided, few
years ago, maiden lady of considerable
wealth, writes a correspondent of the
Philadelphia Press. One morning she was
discovered foully murdered. Her man.
servant, named Lee, was suspected,
arrested and convicted on circumstantial
evidence, and sentenced to be hanged. So
conclusive seemed the evidence against the
prisoner that no attempt whatever was
made on the part of the public to induce
the Home Secretary to exercise executive
clemency. The day of the execution hay.
ing arrived, the prisoner was led forth to
suffer the extreme penalty. The rope to be
used, the texture of which was silk and
hemp, had been, as is customary IN such
cases, tested with the aid of sand bags, and
was not found wanting. The bolt was
drawn and the prisoner was given drop Of
eight feet. The rope broke. The prisoner
walked, uDaided, up the steps leading to
the scaHoid, and after the rope had been
fixed again and the moose adjusted the bolt
was drawn for the second time. The rope
broke again.
Lee was by this time considerably
stunned. However, after the lapse Of .
few moments he again assembled, unaided.
the steps, and after doing all in his power
TO allay the nervousness Of the hanRman,
assisted the latter in once more fixing
the rope. The prisoner placed himself on
the trap-door, the bolt was pulled, and the
condemned man dropped once more out Of
view. The rope parted for the third time.
After considerable delay Lee once more
placed himself into the executioner.s hands,
but that parsonage and the other officials,
horrified At what seemed Divine interpo-
sition, refused to proceed further with the
business. The facts were reported to the
Home Secretary. who at once respited the
prisoner, condemning him to Imprisonment
for life,
Three years later Q woman who was
Lees fellow-servant confessed on her
dying bed that it was she who killed her
mistress. She declared that Lee had no
connection whatever with the affair, and
stated facts strongly conirmatory to her

that IN twenty years. experience he had

His estimation OF the man who paid him
was therefore of the highest character.

NewsYork, tells the story of a New York
man who had borrowed 500 from friend
