The stockholders in the Mexico
Fair Association met Saturday and
reelected the old directory. The
members were all in favor of a
mile track. On motion of r. M.
White 60 days notice was given to
the stockholders to meet and vote on
a proposition to increase the capital
stock from ten to twenty thousand
dollars. If this proposition car.
ries, and we are sure it will, Mex.
leo will have the best fair in the
entire West.

Home for Ex-COnfederates.

The ex-Confederates of Missouri,
since the reunion, feel assured
that nearly enough money has
been promised TO assure the build
ing of a home for their disabled
aud destitute comrades. President
James Bannerman invites bids, in
money or lands, from such coun-
ties or cities as may desire to COM
pete for the location of the home.
About 500 acres of good land will
probably be required. Offers

LA MERTHA RICH,
He Don't Know His Wife Has
a Divorce.

Harry La Mertha, owner of the
Clara La Mertha ranch in Wyom-
ing, was in the city to day. He is
on hls way east to attend a meet
ing of the Standard oil company, of
which he is a heavy stockholder.
When questioned in regard to the
current report amongst cattle deal
ers as to the condition of cattle in
Wyoming and the West, MIR. La
Mertha said: "Myself and my
cousin here, Miss Clara, introduc-
ing beautiful little lady who stood
by him have, been all the way across
from Miles City, Montana, to Dead
wood, and New Castle, Wyoming,
by stage, and we find the cattle in
excellent condition. When asked
if it were true that he was soon to
be married to a wealthy lady of
Buffalo Gap, OAK, he looked first
at Miss LaMertha and then at the
reporter as though dumbfounded,
but finally said, "Look here, you
are newspaper man. Now, just
deny this report for me as 1 am
already married man. I have a
wife and two children in Mexico,
Mo. We are not living together at
present. She left me in 1885 at
East St. Louis for no other reason
than that was full on election day
and when she gets tired staying
away perhaps then you can call me
married. In answer to the inquiry
if he intended stopping off in Chi
cago, he said that depended upon
circumstances. When asked if the
Central strike had any effect on
cattle shipping he only said: 81
won't ship until everything is set
tied. I am a locomotive engineer
myself and know how it is" Mr..
LaMertha and Miss LaMertha
leave tonight for Cleveland, O.,
via the Wabash.-Omaha Bee.
Many of our readers will remem-
Der La Mertha as a locomotive
fire man, who used to live in Mex.
leo and who came so near being
scalded to death in a railroad acci-
dent near Mexico. La Mertha, we
should judge, has prospered since
leaving Mexico. He is mistaken
about having a wife in Mexico.
His former wife lives in Mexico
but secured a divorce some time
since.

Gov. JOHN S. MARMADUKE died
a poor man. His relatives are poor.
Not even a head-board marks the
spot where is buried. He had
many friends while alive. Where
are they now? The Mexico LEDGER
would like to see a move made to
erect monument to the memory
of the gallant Marmaduke, and
will guarantee a liberal subscrlp-
ton from Mexico. Speaking of
this matter the st. Louis Chronicle
says: ''The condition of the grave
has been so much commented upon,
however, that the next Legislature
will be asked to make an appropri-
alton to beautify that part of the
cemetery where the Governor lies
and to erect a modest monument.
A small sum would do-S2,O to
Sc, ,OOO."
81 think" said State Treasurer
Lon V. Stephens, "that it the peo-
pie of the State generally knew
how Marmaduke's grave looked,
they would all want to subscribe to
a fund to put up a handsome mar
BILE column to his memory"

Mrs. Behan, a Christian Scien.

Charley was up and out. She

there used to be some people who
said the world was not round.
Quite a number of our people have
great faith in this cure and say

Sky Rocket Case.

This celebrated case will be call.
ed in the Pike County Circuit Court
on Thursday next. The issue in
the case is familiar to most of our
people. In 1884 at a county dem
ocratic rally in Mexico, J. A. Guth-
rie, Cash Blackburn, Joe Boyd. ct
al, were a committee to manage the
fire works display. A sky rocket
from the display struck James
Dowell in the face and disfigured
him. Dowell was flag bearer for
the Benton City club, and was par
ticipating in the rally. He brought
suit against the fireworks commit
tee for $4,000. A change of venue
was taken to Pike county. On first
trial the jury hung-eleven for de-
PENDANTS and one for plaintiff. On
retrial in the same court q verdict
was given to defendants and plain
tif appealed to the supreme court,
which court reversed and remand
ed the case on account Of improper
instructions given by the court in
behalf Of defendants. The costs in
the case now amount to nearly
81 GOO and the defendants have
paid out over that amount in At
torney fees. 1t is iE reality q suit
against the democratic party and
the democrats of this county should
by popular subscription reimburse
the Vandalia Leader.
In relation to the above, we have
always heard that at the first trial
the jury was about evenly divided
between the plaintiff and defend.
ant. The Supreme Court in Civ
ing its decision in the case, among
other things, said:
Persons who take upon them.
selves the business of exploding
fireworks must exercise great care.
The care must be propol toned to
the dangerous character of the ex.
plosives used and the danger to be
apprehended from the use of them.
The real question in this case ia
whether the defendants used that
care in handling and discharging
the explosives that cautious and
prudent persons would have used
under like circumstances. While
there is an abundance of evidence
tending to show the want of such
care, still the conclusion must be
drawn from q mass OF details, and
the question is one for the jury
to decide. And it further says;
There is no evidence showing ol
tending to show that the plaintiff
was Joint wrong-doer. He tool
no part in, and had nothing to de
with, the display Of the fireworks
The fact that he was present at tht
display does not show, nor does il
tend to show, contributory negli
gence.
There is no question but wha
the Democrats of Audrain county
will foot the bills, whatever the,
imsy be, when the case is finall,
