RELIEF FOR
Beef to be Shipped Directly to
Europe-The Big Four to
be Cut Out of the Larg-
est Cattle Trade in
The World.

Hon. C. F. Clark and w. J..
Bolts are home from the Stock
mems meeting at Fort Worth,
Texas. At least a dozen stock
growing States were represented,
but none better than Missouri. The
representatives from Audrain
county are delighted with the
meeting, and think the results will
prove of practical benefit to the
stock interests of the country. Mr..
Clark, who was appointed from
Missouri on an important commit
tee, informs US that one of two re-
suits will follow this meeting-un-
less the Government gives Calves
ton a deep water harbor the stock
men interested will make a deep
water harbor at Arkansas Pass. In
either event dressed beef can be
shipped directly to Europe with
out going through the "Big Four
at Chicago. Such a-result would
be worth millions of dollars to
the stock-growers of the country,
who are now at the mercy of
s'the combine"
Obituary.
This vicinity was grievously
surprised on the 18th by a dispatch
from Montrose, Mo-, giving the ac-
count of the death of Mrs. John
Hisey, second daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. B. Wright. Mrs. Hisey
was 80 years old, having died on
her birthday. She leaves a hus-
band and two children, both boys,
aged 8 and Z years, besides many
friends and relatives in this portion
of the county to mourn her loss.
The funeral services was con-
Quoted at Beaver Dam Church On
the 14th inst. by Rev. Rutledge, of
Mexico. She was for years g men,
Der of the Methodist Church,
South. Whilst not old; as reckon
ed by years, an active useful life as
wife, mother, neighbor and Chris
tian worker rounds out a character
ripe for the sickle of the Master.
Though her ever welcome presence
will be missed at home, church and
in the neighborhood in which she
lived, yet the noble life will be
remembered through its many
blessings. Her remains were
inferred in Beaver Dam cemetery.

holland ARRESTED.
He Valves o Preliminary Hear
ing and His Bond Is Plac.
ed at $4,000, Which
He Furnished.

JEFFERSON CITY, MO-, March 10.
Prosecuting Attorney Davidson
this morning filed information with
Justice Wagner OF this city charg.
ing ex-State Treasurer e. T.
holland with embezzling the funds
of the State intrusted to his
custody as Treasurer. Mr.. holland
was present at the time of the FL.
ing the information and at once
gave himself up. Preliminary
examination was waived by the ex.
Treasurer and he was admitted to
bail in the sum of 5000. The
embezzlement charged consists Of
the deficits unearthed by the
COMMITTEES appointed by the
Governor to examine into the
affairs of his Office. The institu.
ton of criminal proceedings was
not a surprise, as they have been
discussed here every day since the
publication of the report of the
committee. The Circuit Court
will convene here in May next, at
which time an indictment will
likely be found.
Gov. Francis placed the informa-
ton in the hands oil the Prosecat-
ing Attorney at ~ O'Clock last
Thursday, and holland might have
been arrested at any time after that
hour. The fact that he has not
been signifies nothing. 1t now
comes out that as soon as Gov.
Francis found that Treasurer
holland was short In his accounts
he orderded that a watch be kept
on him, and since February "a Mr..
holland has been under surveil-
lance. Every step that he has
taken since then has been watched,
and every time that he has left his
home he has been Swallowed. II
was not expected that he would run
away. No one imagined that he
would attempt to escape. but it was
deemed prudent to watch him, and
he has been under the eye of an
officer ever since he admitted TO
the Governor that he had used the
money of the State.
| hollands arrest was not a sensa-
tional matter, for while it is sure
that he will be placed In conGne-
mcnt and prosecuted, there Is some
sympathy for him in Jefferson
City and the awful experience he
has yet TO undergo will be forced
upon him as gently as possible.
He was well liked here and bis
fall is sincerely regretted, HIa

and children, his wife's sister and

SUPPOSED SUICIDE.
AgOny-The Coroner Look
ing into the Matter.

oA tAe ArSt uay uI Marcn, as
shown by the poison register at the
drug store of French & Garrett,
Miss Elizabeth Renfro, of East
Monroe street, bought 60 grains of
s%tryehnine. One grain is enough
to kill any person. About Md
night Sunday night this young
lady died. At 10 p. m. Sunday
she had a doctor and told him she
was subject to such spells every
month and was very nervous, etc.
This physician wanted to examine
her symptoms, but she objected,
and giving her something quieting
he left and thought no more of the
matter. Coroner Cave was notified
Monday and at l p. m. held
an inquest. The young lady was
Is years old and considered a very
good girl by those who knew
her. She lived at the extreme east
end of Monroe street with her un-
Gle and step aunt. They moved to
Mexico last June from Vandalia,
and her uncle worked for Andy
Harrison in his brick yard for
some time. Andy says her uncle
was a good workman and appeared
like a clever man. The names of
the Coroner's jury are as follows:
E. G. Cunningham, W. w. Settle,
N. M. Roberts, S. S. Craig, w. l..
Fowle.
Mr.. Joe Renfro and his wife tes-
titled before the jury that the girl
died in great agony and that if she
took poison they knew nothing of
it. They also said if she was
about to become a mother they
were ignorant of the fact and that
she was a modest girl and never
went in company. A IL year old
daughter of the Renfros told a re-
porter of the LEDGER that on the
first day of March (when Lizzie got
the poison) she left her (the little
girl at the post-office while "she
went to get some Calico" This
shows that Lizzie did not want any
one to know she was buying
poison.
The relatives of Miss Renfro re-
fused to believe that she was about
to become a mother, even after
holding the post-mortem examina-
ton, which proved that the young
lady would give birth to a child in
the course of a month or two. The
stomach and part Of the liver of
the dead girl were sent to Professor
Schweitzer, the professor of chem
istry in the State University at
Columbia, for analysis. The body
was inferred in the city cemetery
Monday at 6 O'Clock because
Mr.. and Mrs. Renfro refused to
hold the body over any longer. The
Coroner's jury will meet again as
soon as a report is received from
Columbia.
|
1t is reported to the LEDGER, on
good authority, that in spite of
Mrs. Renfro's testimony before the
Coroner's Jury she knew Of Lizzie's
condition and had talked with
others about it. Perhaps she knows
much more that she could tell.
