Lodge Makes n Laborcd Effort In Behalf
of His Infam rus Scheme-Homphilrs
Splendid Argn,n nt-Other Speeches.
The debate in the Lodge election
bill commenced in the House on Thusr-
day.
Lodge made the opening speech,
urging the measure as necessary,
Just, wise and constitutional.
Hemphill, of South Carolina, fol-
lowed, beginning with an argument
to demonstrate the unconstitutional
nature of the bill, that Congress
>Quld not interfere with the returns.
kread of the legislative declara-
tions I'm the past by the States of New
York, Ohio and New Jersey against
congressional usurpation of tho right
to conduct elections. He declared
that this was not anational bill. It was
sectional. Under the provisions of
the first section some portions of the
pited States would be under the
supervision of from two to five super
visors according to the respective
size of the congressional and judicial
districts. He could conceive of no
honest purpose for such provision.
1t could have no effect but to place the
people of some districts between
the upper and neither mill
stones. AS to the terms under which
the law was to go into effect (petition
of limited number of persons,)
why was it so limited if it was a
good thing? The law should be uni
versally applied. Why was it that
this very complicated and unsatisfac-
tory provision was put in unless there
some. PORTIONS OF the people q this
couiy(Ry and allow others to do as they
saw fit! He called for an explanation
of that provision. Now suppose the
United States Courts were corrupted
and from the amount of corruption
reported by the gentleman from Mas
sachusetts it might safely be inferred
that one-half of the people were un-
worthy of trust, that they were to be
watched as criminals or ticket of
leave men. Suppose that the super
visor were to turn to Democrat. He
had life tenure and could not Be
removed. That hadn't occurred to
the gentleman from Massachusetts,.
This was measure to rob them of
their dearest rights. He had march
cd before the gitteling bayonets of
United States soldiers to cast his
ballot. Troops of soldiers had been
sent to, his town, and every soldier

A New and Active Real Estate
Firm Established.

j. T. Nelson has bought D. P.
Moore's one-half interest in the
firm of Moore & Nelson, also his
half of building occupied by the
firm for 50 500. Nelso retains the
entire building, but has sold one
half Of the business to John T.
Ricketts,, who has been with this
firm ever since it started in bust
ness, and is one of the best equip
ped men for this business we know
of anywhere. The new firm will
keep up the reputation of the old
one. and will always be found &C
tive and liberal in any undertakings
which are intended to forward the
best interests of Mexico. Mr..
Moore will remain in Mexico, but
has not made up his mind what he
will 60 into. Dave is pretty well
fixed, and it is not absolutely nec-
essary that he should embark in

ti0Dt.

The following letter from Mrs.
M. M. Show, a new Christian
scientist of this city, shows, at least
to her satisfaction. just how the mi
raculous cures are brought about.
1t also shows how quick you can
become a sure cure:
To the Editor OF the Ledger.
MEXICO, Mo-, Oct. IL -DEAR
Mr.. WHITE: How imprudent |
think you have been In Offering
500 to q stranger to prove that she
has effected one cure through
science and her moral sell the
greatest of the two. Do not men
doctors do the very same thing
through the agent of medicine, eth
er from the mineral or vegetable
kingdom? She, the scientist, gets
he patients directly under her
Influence, and she IS in the highes,
state of morality or perfect by
giene-a gre alter agent than medi-
cine acknowledgement perfect state
spiritually, but according to nature
after the fall. l have a patient
never had but one, and he Is not
only cured bodily, but III the high
est state spiritually, and you offer
me, home folks, 500 and I'll pro
duce the affidavi's sufficient or pa
| tient within sc hours If the money
il put up. Drop your money where
it will do t.,e most good and to the
greatest number.
Very kindly and hastily,
M. M. SHOW
The above, We presume. is very
plain to the ''initiated," but is be.
yond our comprehension except
that 800 is wanted on some ones
affidavit. We are glad Mrs NJ,
NJ. Show is succeeding SO we'll and
in fact, we are sure she can cure
any disease al quick as any othel
Christian scientist, but at the same
time beg to state that the affidavit
of her patient is not at this tim'
worth 500 to US. We trust tina
Mrs. Show will continue in tn,
good work and that there will b,
enough others graduate into THU
faith so that funerals and grav'
yards will be luxuries instead 0
necessities. This is a wonderful az,
and perhaps we are behind th'
times when we think the Who'll,
business (no matter by whom prac
ticed) q humbug.

In the sickness and death of Bro.
G. T. Black we are reminded that
imam that is born of woman is 0.
few days and full of trouble. He
cometh forth like a flower and is
cut down; he heeth also as a
shadow and continueth not. Tha,
man dieth and wasteth away, yea;
man giveth up the ghost and where
is he"
Our brother no longer fills his
seat in our midst. His work OIL
earth is done. He walks no more
among men. Then let US as 6
church express our loss in ths
following resolutions:
First, That our brother was ar
exemplary man. He was quiet.
unassuming, humble in his Chris
tian life, ready to esteem others
better than himself.
Second, That as a church VT
have lost one of our oldest ane
most faithful MEMBER.
Third. That the community hal
lost a good, kind %neighbor, a low
ing md true friend, and the coun
try an honest, conscientious clti
zen.
Fourth, That his family has los
a tender and loving husband; In
dulgent and hopeful father, ant
humanely speaking, an irreparabl'
loss.
Fifth. That we deeply and trul,
sympathize with his wife and chill

A Big Sale.

The administrators sale of the
stock and other property belonging
to the late Major William Gentry,
which takes place October 20 and
80, at Locust Grove farm near
Sedalia, promises to be one of the
greatest events of the kind in the
history of Missouri. Over $4,000
worth of property will be disposed
of and stock and horsemen from all
over the country will without doubt
be present as it ia we'll known that
nothing which walked on four feet
on Major Gen;ry's farm was with.
out blooded qualities and no man
in the State was a better judge in
this respect than the lamented
dead. The sale will be under good
management and no doubt many
rare bargains will result to the
purchaser. Stockmen in Audraln
should attend this sale. See

CAN SHE DEMONSTRATES
The "Chrlstfan Scientist Given
An Opportunity to Assert
Her Ability.

To the Editor Of the Le..g'r.
Mexico, No., Oct. 15.-Since We
are having. in our midst, the per-
formanc- of cures that are 80
marvellous As to be classed as
miracles, let US examine the mat
ter a "iittle. The devotees of this
work base it upon Christian faith,
and they. III a boastful tone, say:
IBID not the Savior say that these
signs shall follow them that be-
fiev.?"
I'm my name shall they Cast out
devils, they shall speak with new
,ongues, they shall take up deadly
serpen,s," Mark 16. II, Is. Yes,
it eays all that, but it says more:
IF they drink any deadly thing ii
hall no, hurt them" "They shall
lay hands On the sick sud they
.hali recover"
This Was true in the days o,
he Apostles, when the cln ms OF
Jesu- to III Messiahsbip wereb BE-,
ng proven, bu, that day and age
passed away. The proof is now in
shat they did then, US it stands
upon the recorded pages OF the
New Testament. They could heal
the sick, they could drink deadly
poison and receive no injury. Ii
We take a part Of this scripture we
must take it all. It can't be
garbled. II you take the clause,
"they shall lay hands On the sick
and they shall recover" you mus,
also, it you r honest, take the
,ther clause, viz at the. sh,!
rink any deadly thing it shall,
40, hurt them"
Now, let this woman who claims
the power to heal the rick take a
spoonful OF pruslc acid or a decoc-
ZION of hem!ock, such as Socrates
frank, and if she receives no harm,
from it then we ehall be C .mpelIed
d admit her claims. This will do
away with all affidavits, and, being
Il divine prescription, We can't see
how she can refuse 10 take it.
Prophetieally we feel certain s','
will To, risk the poison. s..

In some cases the skin becomes hot
and dry, particularly the feet and
hands; in others, again, the feet and
hands are cold, and there is great heat
in the body and head. Sometimes
there are sharp pains, front and back,
under the shoulders, and there may be
chronic diarrhea. The tongue is usual
ly coated, and often there is nausea and
vomiting after meals. The appetite is
variable, generally poor, and there is
often an excessive flow of saliva. The
patient suffers from an increased fever
during the night, frequently perspires
while asleep and is troubled with
"heartburn." Generally the face is
flushed or the skin becomes sallow, and
sometimes there is dry, hacking cough,
while the voice is hoarse and husky.
Not all of the foregoing symptoms
are present in every case. The more
complicated the disease has become,
the greater the number and diversity
of symptoms. Generally the liver is
torpid and many times the kidneys
more or less involved.

malady that DIR. Pierce's Golden Med

go O'Connor's security for the dress suit
for the evening. Thus it was that soci-
ETY. was not deprived of Mr.. O'Connor's
presence, as he blossomed out in much
radiance in the hired suit, and for that
occasion, at least as Wordsworth puts
it, society became his glittering BRIDE
The dress suit seems to have been a
good fit and otherwise satisfactory to
Lawyer 0'Connor, for he did not return
it next day, according to the stipulations
in the lease. Neither did he return it
the next day, nor the next week, and he
has not returned ii yet. That is the
reason the red-eyed law was invoked.
Shea wanted his money, and had re-
course on Bradley as surety. Mr.. Brad
ley paid, and then began to look around
for O'Connor.
Investigation showed that Mr.. OCon-
nor had hooked" his business suit and
was disporting himself by night and by
was all the time piling up.
He was treading the fiowery paths OF
Bacchus and didn't care rap for ex-
penses. The matter went on until
Lawyer Carpenter was forced TO bring
suit, which was done before Judge
Fallon. When the case came to trial Mr..
OConnor was lawyer enough to know
it would be point against him if he
appeared in court wearing the suit at
issue, and by some heroic effort he
managed to appear in a regulation suit.
He and his lawyer made hard fight,
but Judgment for the value of the
hired suit was recorded against him.
The whole tendency of the case went to
show that getting into society in hired
dress suit is attended with dangers and
draw backs-N Y World.
