AMERICA of date July 10th, displays portrait
of Miss Philippa Fawcett, whose triumph over tne
senior vranger of Cambridge has brought her
such widespread fame. While placing gleetul
stress upon the very evident fact that Miss Fawcett
lis not pretty" America gngerly proceeds to
give the girl luke-warm credit while paying her
some cheap ODDLY Warden" compliments upon
those inner charms and womanly graces, which her
history and her extraordinary high markings lndl-
cate, and which even America is bound to respect.
However, just below the portrait of Miss Fawcett
appears another-a profile portrait of Mr.. Bennett,
the second wrangler, whose face America describes
as "not being scklied DER with the pale cast Of
thought" That was mean. America we'll knew
the portrait would detract from Miss Fawcetts
triumph more than six columns of excuses or ex-
ceptional causes for woman's having won real
mind victory. America is the last journal ever to
help woman over ditch or climb up ladder.
ooh, no." says America to the women, "don't
90 over the ditch, and don't climb the ladder, you
look so pretty where you are. Stay right there
and keep right on looking pretty, and then-all
the men will love you" Always? "Well-yes-
just as long as you are-pretty." Then all at
once America opens her eyes and beholds the
women over the ditch and up the ladder then
follows the excuses, the exceptional causes, and
the portrait, which speaks louder than words, yet
may not have been correct likeness of the second
wrangler after all. 1t is wonderful how America
gets "put to" in trying to shoe the women back.
America is journal for American MEN, and by
and by its editor will have proved to the world
that he is no American after all, but only pat
ented reversible, double back-action product of
old-fashioned creature of flesh and blood that
must be born of a mother.
The Queen Isabella Journal is quarterly maya
zine published in Chicago by the Queen Isabella
Association to promote the interests of the World s
Fair of 1892. This association was duly ncor-
porated in August, 1889, and they propose to
erect statue of Isabella of CASTLE to be unveiled
at the Fair; and Harriet Hosmer, the renowned
sculptor, is engaged to execute the work.
Eliza Allen Starr, the gifted and popular author
has written history, entitled Isabella of Castillo -
and dedicated it TO the association, and the net
proceeds of the sale are also devoted to the assoca
ton.
One Of the principal objects of the Queen Isabella
Association is to furnish an international club
house, with congress hall, for the use of women
during the Worlds Fair.
One dollar apiece from the women of the United
States and foreign countries would make possible
l. commodious, wel-equipped, social head
quarters, with congress hall.

AT the last census Wyoming was returned as
having smaller per cent of iliteracy than any
State or Territory in the Union. Wyoming has no
public debt, is about as large as New York and
Pennsylvania together, and claims 10000 nhab-

Woman's journal:

and ate bread made by the same hands that had

In 1885 Hon. Thomas w. Palmer, addressing
the United States Senate upon universal suffrage,

read, causing immense cheering. Congressman

A SALOON
Unsuccessful Attempt to
Blow Open a Safe Contain
ing Money and Valua-
bic Papers.

Sunday night some miscreants or
dare-devils tried to blow open the
safe Of Moses Mayfeld, the saloon
keeper on the southwest corner OF
the Square. They gained admit.
lance to the saloon by prying or
forcing the doors open from the
alley, going through the billiard
hall, then forcing a side door
and entering the saloon. Here,
they helped themselves to several
bottles of champagne, wine, etc.,
before entering upon tie job of
bursting the safe open. They had
prepared themselves with all neces-
sary tools for the work by first
going to the shop of Joe Pratt and
securing drills, hammers, ETC.,
with which to do their nefarious
work. The lock was forced off the
safe and a hole had been drilled
over half way through the door,
when it Is supposed daylight came
upon them or passers-by caused
them to abandon their work. Mr..
Mayfield had about $3.50 in the safe
besides papers that were very
valuable to him, all of which would
have been taken if they had been
successful III getting the safe open.
1t is not known who the party or
parties were but the police are at
work on the case and it is thought
that they have a clew as to who the
robbers aere. This much may be
said-suspicion rests upon some
two or three fellows who have been
laying around Mexico for the past
few days and it will not be surpris-
ing to hear of arrests that will sure
ly follow.

Sunday School Work.

To the Editor OF the Ledger.
MEXICO, Mo-, Nov. 25.-At a
meeting of Sunday School Work.
ers, held at the Court House, Sat.
urday, the 22d inst, it was decided
to hold a County Convention in
Mexico the 9Th and 9th of Jam
uary, 1891.
The object of this meeting is, as
that of similar meetings in the past
has been, to build up and encourage
the grand work of Sunday schools
in our county, to both educate the
people in the great objects and
aims of Sunday school work and
better prepare them for work, by
discussions of the most successful
plans and methods, and to dispel
the prejudices that so hinder Chris.
tan work.
Its object is not to supersede de.
nomlnatlonal work anywhere, but
to encourage and extend that work.
Then why cannot Christians of
every name and order meet togeth.
er and enjoy a season of SQUIRE.
freshment il the exchange of ideas
and ex%perience2 There are very
few schools in the county that do
not need a revival of interest, and
even these few should be willing to
make some sacrifice to help others.
Mexico will extend a hearty well
come to all who come, and we hope
to see delegates from all schools
in the county at this meeting. Make
preparation to send representatives
who will imbibe some of the en-
thusiasm and zeal from the noble
WORKERS who will be present there.
l believe that this will be the best
county meeting ever held in Au-
drain. What say you, brothers and
sisters in the work? Will you be
there? Will Cuivre and Prairie,
old veterans in the cause, send in
their delegations? Will the ether
townships respond? We shall see.

jumped From a Train.

A travelling man who came in on
the first Alton west bound train
last night relates a few particulars
of a sad happening on the train.
Just after pulling out of Vandalia,
a richly dressed lady of about
thirty years, who was going from
Chicago to Kansas City with her
husband, arose from her seat and
walked toward the car door. Just
as she reached the door her hus-
band, evidently fearing something,
sprang to his feet and ran after her,
but before he could stop her she
had opened the door, stepped onto
the platform and flung herself into
the darkness. The train was i'm
mediately stopped and backed to
the spot, where she was found
lying near the railroad fence, where
she had been thrown, in an in
sensible and critical condition
there being several terrible gashes
about the head, but no broken
bones could be discovered.
For some unaccountabie reason
the lady was carried through Mex
leo and put off at Centralia, from
which place nothing has beer
heard. No names could be learn
ed
