Summer Wisdom.

In these days when Old Sol his long poker brings,
And the doors of his furnace unlatches
OF his purse the fond sire Will loosen the strings
While his flock TO cool spots he dispatches.
The process quite dry his exchequer oft wrngs,
But be wishes his girls TO make catches,
So sends them-if wise-to the White Sulphur

Facts About Mexico.

From The ST. Louis Globe Democrat.
Louis Godlove states some facts
about Mexico which everybody
who has been there can corrobor-
ate. He says: Although Mexico
has a population of about IL mill
lions, it must be borne in mind
that, at high estimate, not over
20 per cent. of this number have
the means with which to purchase
goods OF any kind. Fully 8 mil
lion Mexicans are people who pro-
duce nothing, earn almost nothing,
and consequently consume nothing
that we could sell them. When
men rarely receive more than fifteen
cents per day for their labor, they
they are not the kind of customers
the merchants of the United States
are seeking. The climate of Mexi-
CO is such that but little clothing is
needed. 1t is probable to harvest
two crops of cereals annually, and
fruit and vegetables grow in abun-
dance the year round. The only
articles which these people will buy
are pulque, the national drink, and
sompreros. A Mexican will gener-
ally deprive himself and family of
necessary clothing and food in or
der that he may buy an extraya-
gantly expensive sombrero.

Is HANGING PAINFULp
There Appears to be Some Ques
ton About It.

That the job of hanging at Ozark
was "bungling" there is no doubt,
but that the suffering was great,
except in the case of the man who
fell and revived,is far from certain.
In 1864. says correspondent, Jno.
Burns, whom l have known long
and we'll, lived in Newton county
this State, on Indian Creek, about
ten miles south of Newtonla. Mr..
Burns was quiet man, trying to
conduct himself without offense to
either side in the war of the rebel
lion, SO that he could remain at
home. But some persons thought
Mr.. Burns had money, and squad
of robbers, in those days called
''bushwhackers'' called upon him
to investigate his resources. Mr..
B. said he had no money. The
bushwhackers then tried the per-
suasive powers of a rope. They
took a line like a clothes-line,
made a running moose, slipped it
over Mr.. BIS head, put the other
end of the line over the ceiling
joists of the room they were in, and
swung Mr.. B. clear off the floor.
He is about six feet, Iarge-boEed,
weighing 1s0 to 200 pounds. Three
times they pulled him up, roughly,
letting the body slump to the floor.
Mr.. B. says that each time as his
feet left the floor and the weight Of
his body came upon the cord he
became instantly 1nsensible, and
continued so until he revived after
falling. He felt no pain at any
stage while suspended. I have
more than once questioned him
particularly about this. He does
not know long they kept him up
nor whether he was motlonless or
in contortions while up. He did
not fall on the noose-was simply
pulled up. 1t was just strangula-
ton, with partial stoppage of
circulation of blood to the BRAIN.
No serious results followed, only a
soreness of the neck.
My own belief, drawn from the
|experience of Mr.. Burns, is that
Matthews and the elder Walker
did not suffer after the drop, what
ever may have been the physical
contortions of their bodies.

FOUND DEAD.
John Smith, Of Near Guthrie, Cal
laway County, Accidentally
Killed.

John Smith, a prominent farmer
Of near Guthrie, in Galloway coun-
ty, was found dead in the woods
two miles from his home last
week. Mr.. Smith left his
home the evening before, riding
one horse and leading another.
Not returning within a reasonable
time, a search was instituted, re-
sulting as stated. The death is
thought to have been the result OF
an accident, as Mr.. Smiths watch
and other valuables were found in
tact upon his person. The saddle
of the horse he had been riding
was turned and the animal was
roaming about the woods. The
other horse was hitched to neigh
boring tree. Deceased's body was
slightly bruised.
Mr.. Smith was brother of Jas.
NJ. Smith, a prominent farmer OF
of southeast of this city, and was
related to J. NJ. and l. F. Coons.
He was not known to have an enc.
my, and the theory of accidental
death is generally accepted.

New Fast Train to New York

On May 18th the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad will put into service
an additional fast train to New
York, leaving St. Louis via the
Ohio and Mississippi Railway a,
sos p. M, daily, and arriving in
New York at 9:2O a. m., Central
Time) second morning.
The very latest and finest pat
tern of Pullman Vestibule Buffet
Sleeping Cars will go through with
this train from St. Lsuls to New
York without change. Day train
leaving St. Louis at 500 a. m.,
daily with Pullman Farlor Cars and
Buffet Sleepers to New York makes
equally fast time, arriving in New
York at 7:35 next evening.
The route of these fast trains is
via Washington, Baltimore and
Philadelphia, and it is therefore
the only through car line by which
passengers wishing to stop over at
these points en- route to New York
can do so without going out of their
way, losing time or incurring an ex-
ira expense for tickets.

THE NEXT CENSUS.
Great Changes and Curious Con
trasts That 1t Will Reveal.
From the Bankers Magazine,

From the Bankers Magazine.
The census of 1890 will reveal
many wonderful changes. The GEN.
trail line of population will be much
nearer the Mississippi river than it
was ten years ago. A series of maps
like those contained in the last GEN.
sus, of gradations in color, to indi-
cate the changes in density Of fpopu-
lation, wealth, health and other i'm
portant facts, will present a curious
contrast with the maps that we now
have for the census of 1880, or that
,, of'7O. Over 16, 600, 900 acres of land
We're sold in the last fiscal year un-
der the operation of the homestead
and timber culture law. More than
124 900 900 acres have been settled
in the last eight years, represent
ing a larger area than the States of
Indiana, Illinois, Ohio and Michi-
gan.
The greatest changes have been
made in the northwestern group of
States and Territories, comprising
Dakota, Nebraska, Minnesota, Wy
oming and Montana, where nearly
60, ,O00,O of acres have been set.
tied IN the last eight years In the
southwestern group, comprising
Kansas, Colorado and New Mexico,
nearly 80, 100000 acres have been
occupied. On the Pacific coast 10, :
! 600, 600 of acres more have been
settled, and Is, 600, 900 of acres must
be added for the Southern States on
both sides of the Mississippi. Along
| the Pacific roads 10000, 900 OF acres
have been opened since the last
census. In other words, the gov
ernment and the Pacific Railroad
have opened for settlement in the
last eight years territory larger
than the New England, Middle
States and South Carolina COM
bined; larger than Germany or
! France. and about twice as large as
Great Britain and Ireland.

nervous glances over his shoulder

His confidence was gone, and he

There is a man in this town who

been hanged. He lived to tell the
tale, however, and Is alive and all
right now. The gentleman in ques-
ton was amusing a room full OF
youngsters at the time he gained
his experience and had a rope moose
over his head. While romping
about, the gentleman lost his foot.
ing and fell with his entire weight
upon the rope, the other end OF
which was fastened to the wall.
The moose frightened about the
romper's neck, and he at once be-
came unconscious. Violent con-
tertions followed and when assist
ance was finally rendered, the man
was thought to be very near, if not
quite dead.
The gentleman shortly recovered
consciousness, however, and in an
hour was able to describe chow it
feels to be hanged" The moment
the rope tightened about his neck,
explained the gentleman, he lost
consciousness. So suddenly, IN
fact. did he lose the faculty of
thinking, that a sentence on his
lips was interrupted. Of course
there was no pain when conscious
ness was gone; and although the
body writhed and twisted in the
most fearful manner, the subject
did not know of such action until
subsequently told of it by his
friends.
This story, taken with the one
from Southeast Missouri, publish
ed in the LEDGER yesterday, goes to
prove that well conducted job of
hanging is a thoroughly humane
and expeditions manner of dispos-
ing of a State or nations crimi-
mails. The contortions produced
do not by any means indicate that
the subject suffers pain; they are
simply muscular.
The idea has been expressed that
the execution of criminals by elec-
tricity will prove painful, as well
as being an uncertain method.
Those opposing this plan do not
say In what particular this Won
derful agent is uncertain, but they
claim we have no way of knowing
death by that means is painless.
The first electrical execution in
New York under the new law will
take place early in June. Wife
murderer Kemmerly Is the subject.

New York, May 16.-Aller
Thorndyke Rice, the newly ap
pointed minister to Russia, dice
suddenly this morning at the Fifth
Avenue hotel, where he was stop
ping.
Mr.. Rice had been suffering from
a throat affection for few days but
was not supposed to be any danger.
He intended to sail for Europe
yesterday in the Inman steamer
City of Paris, but was compelled tc
delay his departure owing to his
sickness.
Mr.. Rice had been sick for few
days with tonsilitis and had some
symptoms of quinsy. A sudden
swelling of the glottis, while he
slept, cut off his breath and caused
death without awakening him.
His nurse, his valet and his ply.
sicians were present. The manne,
of death is rare and was unlocked
for.
Mr.. Rice's luggage had partly
been sent abroad. DIR. Fuller had
expected he would be able to sail

A Nervy Doctor.

DR.. A. n. Shoemaker, a promi-
nent young physician of Birming-
ham, Alabama, was sent to the Ala
bama Lunatlc Asylum, having sud
denly become insane from the use
of morphine and cocaine. He filled
his pockets with pistols and knives,
and going on the streets chased
every one he met indoors, until he
was overpowered. Last December
DR.. Shoemaker successfully per-
formed on himself one of the most
