A LIGHT PUNISHMENT.
John Miller Gets Six Years For
Burglary-The Indictment
For Murder Dismissed on
His Plea of Guilty
to Robbery.

John Miller, who was indicted
for the murder of old man Apgar,
and was also indicted on five counts
for robbery, pleaded guilty on
the first and fourth counts of rob-
berry, getting three years on each p,
and the indictment for murder and
the other indictments for robbery
were dismissed. John may con-
slider himself very lucky in getting
off SO cheap. Six years in the pen
beats being hung, and on god be.
havior he will get out in four years
and a half. John broke down and
cried after he pleaded guilty, and
told a LEDGER reporter that the
reason he cried was s'because the
LEDGER held in Its issue of yester-
day that he was guilty of murder
and should be hung" John owes
his good fortune to the tact that
Mortimer, the chief witness, is
now in the penitentiary and his
evidence could not be used, and
that other witnesses have died or
moved TO parts unknown. Miller
still claims to be innocent in spite
of the fact that he pleaded guilty.

Judge appreciates that he is getting
off cheap. When he gets back
from Jefferson he will walk mighty

The Political Farmer.


The broadcloth and silk tile
gentry are worrying because the
farmer has not political wisdom

best for bis interests and are ad-

1t is little queer that those who
create the wealth of the country are
not entitled to a voice in the man.
agenent of it. 1t is a little queer
that men who have never worked
anything but their jaws should be
deemed best fitted to represent the
interests of those who work with
muscles and brains. This move
ment of the farmers to assert them
selves is giving dignity to farm
ing that no other influence can ef-
feet. 1t is bringing it up to that
point where We can say TO our
boys: "No matter how high your
ambition may be, farming will be
no bar to your influence and pro-
gress." To the extent that we

we contribute to our national pros

A WOMAN'S WOES.
Mrs. Lille Jeffries ROasts Her
HuSband-WillS Sue for
Divorce.

Mrs. Lille Jeffries, who is in
jail for 19 days. on account of
beating her step-daughter, to-day
sent for LEDGER reporter, to
whom she said: "Just as soon as
l get out l am going to sue my
husband for divorce. He has al
ways treated me badly. He kick
ed, choked and bit me. He bit me
last Sunday, and few months ago,
when we lived near Gov. Hardin's,
he kicked me. Public feeling ap-
pears to be all against me because
l treated his child badly. They
don't know how I was treated. He
hated and abused me. Ihated and
abused his child on that account.
1 am going to sue tor divorce and
show him up in court" Mrs. JEFF
fries appears to be getting along all
right in Jail; even better than she
did with her husband. The divorce
trial will likely be rather sensa-
tional.

Rejoicing at Columbia,


COLUMBIA, Mo-, March 2l.-Co-
lumbia is surrounded by blaze of
glory, kindled by the enthusiasm of
the University students, over the
news that the Missouri Senate has
also passed the bill giving to the
University as an endowment of
$3.50, 900 the direct tax returned 10
the State by the General Govern.
ment. Hardly had the news ar
rived before the boys began to pre-
pare for demonstration, which is
now under full headway. AS soon
as darkness settled huge bonfires
began to appear upon the campus
and the clans began to gather. The
crowd devoted itself to speech
making, in which Gov. Francis
and Representative Kurtz, of
Boone, were highly eulogized.
Another crowd attended to the
cannon, another to the fireworks,
while others kept up a continuous
rattle of small arms, and the cadet
band joined in the chorus of gen.
erai rejoicing. A procession was
formed, and, headed by the band,
the boys paraded the town. The
faculty of the University and the
citizens of Columbia are greatly
gratifed at the turn affairs have
| taken.

NARROW ESCAPE.
Rev. Rutledge's Little Boy Falls
into a w Well-Prompt Action
and Goodness Saves
His Life.

About 4 p. m. Wednesday Rev.
Rutledge's little boy aud girl,
the former aged 4 and the latter Q,
were playing by well at his resi-
dence in North Mexico, when a
plank s feet by 8 feet, tipped and
with the boy fell into the well,
which was twenty feet deep and
nearly full of water. The little
girl at once ran into the house
and gave the alarm. The faith
er ran out to the we'll and saw
the little fellow just coming to the
top of the water and grabbing at
the plank. In as cool a voice as
he could command he told the lit
tie fellow to hold on to the plank
and he would save him. The child
seemed to understand and not only
held to the plank firmly, without
any unnecessary splutter, but &C.
tually crawled up on it and sal
like brave little man, while his
father got into the we'll and hang
ing by one hand to the cross-piece
reached down and got the boy
with the other.
Herbert had a very narrow es
cape, and except for his own cool
ness and that of his father would
surely have been drowned.

A NEW RAILROAD
The @. & A. to Build Direct to
st. Louis.
From the Middletown Chips.


The Chicago & Alton railroad
company will build road direct tc
st. Louis from Mexico, Mo-, and il
will necessarily pass through o,
near Middletown. Such road
would greatly shorten the distance
between st. Louis and Kansas City
by the Chicago & Alton route, and
would be a great saving to the
company in the matter of rolling
stock, wear and tear of rails, etc
This road will be built in the nea,
future. Therefore, we urge oul
citizens and the farming commun.
lty to study the situation as re.
CARDS this road, so that when the
opportunity offers and it becomes
necessary to act, we will be ready
to act promptly. The people OF
our town and the farmers and me.
chanics should take deep inter.
est in this matter, and give it 8
most careful consideration. They
should discuss it, reflect upon it,
turn it over and around il. all its
bearings, for it is their business
and to their advantage.

PAY YOUR TAXES.
The Monroe County Alliance
Investigating.
From the Paris Appeal,

From the Paris Appeal.
There has been a committee from
the +. and L. u, of Monroe eoun.
ty examining the records here this
week to get a list of the money
loaned for which a mortgage has
been taken, in order to see how it
tallies with the assessors books.
From what we have been able to
see and learn their report is liable
to make many good men and some
women in the county sweat before
the investigation is over. They
are finding a great deal on the
records that are not on the asses
sor's books, and this is not confin-
ed to any one section of the coun-
ty, but all over 1t. OF course you
cannot tell by the records how
much money a man has, as a
thousand dollar mortgage may al
wavs be paid off but a hundred
dollars and the records not show
it. But, brethren, some of you
will sweat, but it won't be us.

GONE GOLD-MAD.
A Stampede For Linn County
Gold Discovered in Large
Quantities at New
Boston.

L1NNEus, Mo-, March 19.-Much
excitement prevails at New Boston
and throughout Linn County, over
the recent discovery Of gold in the
hills which skirt that little country
village for several miles.
The excitement at that point has
been increasing and it looks as if
the quiet business of farming will
soon give place to the more excit-
ing occupation of prospecting for
the precious metal.
Mr.. James Adams, an old and
respected miner of California, has
leased some land belonging to Mrs.
Forrest, and will begin at once the
work of prospecting. His claims
are staked off, notices posted, and
Mr.. Adams is quite confident his
labors will be we'll paid.
He values his claim very highly.
1t is probable that parties from a
greater distance will engage in the
work at once.
It has been estimated that one
man can dig and wash out from $50
to 500 worth in day.
Many parties have had lumber
sawed and hauled to the ground
for the purpose OF making sluices
for washing and separating the gold
from the sand.
The yellow metal has been
thoroughly tested and proves genu-
inc and many specimens are on ex-
hibition in this county.
There is not a vacant house in
the town of New Boston at present,
and lively boom in real estate is
anticipated.
The Linneus Bulletin describes
the original discovery thus: "While
prospecting for coal at New Bos-
ton, in Linn county, vein of sand
about Is inches thick was struck,
which was found to be very rich in
gold; and specimens of it being
washed yielded large quantities of
the precious mineral"

Not Afraid of Science,

To the Editor of the Ledger.
ST. LOUIS, March 21.-DEAR SIR:
Did 1 not tell you that perpetual
motion is the motive power In our
soul or being; and have I not
proved it in word and deed? ga
perpetual motion machine is one
to be moved by power furnished
by the machine itself and not from
any source outside of it," / don't
claim to be the inventor of perpet.
ual motion, but 1 do claim that
am worked by it. And this is not
all. l am not afraid to be tested by
any and all of the sciences, through
and by all men. Perpetual motion is
self sustaining; it does not have to
go further than itself to move any
other machine, or things, it can
move them all, while it may not
be moved at all. Some, of course,
are harder to move than others,
but by and by they'll likewise

Manhattan Sold For $25.
From the Pharmaceutical Era


According to popular tradition
the Island of Manhattan was sold
in 1924 for the sum of S25. The
conclusion one would naturally
Jump to would be that, in the light
of subsequent events, the sum was
a ridiculously small price. But let
US suppose that s25 had been
placed cut at 7 per cent interest in
the year 1924, and had been al.
lowed to compound up to the year
1884, how much would it then
have amounted to2 Something
in the neighborhood of 81 600, ,OOO,.

Mother.
From the Western Rural.

Some one has written a descrip-
ton of what he calls the most
pathetic cry that is ever heard on
earth. It is the cry of the little
child for mamma when she is dead.
Doubtless that ls true so far as the
listener is concerned. But many
times in later years, when the
child has grown to manhood, after
he has met the bufetings of the
world and been stung by the cruel
selfshness of men when even the
wrinkles are upon his brow and
the silver threads among his hair;
when even his own better nature
has been hardened and blunted, he
pauses in the midst of life's activ-
tiles and animosities and begins to
think of childhood and the glow OF
mothers love in which it was
spent and yearning from the
depths of his heart for just one
moment of the joys of youth again,
the man, the great, stroy, i'm
perious man, sobs the word
"Mother," and as the word from
his own lips falls upon his own ear
he comes to himself again, and
thinks it the saddest word that
was ever uttered. The author OF
Rock Me to Sleep Mother, Rock
Me to Sleep, has expressed in that
soulful poem the feelings OF many
man and woman whose loving
thoughts go quiverlng over moth
er's grave upon which the flowers
have been blooming and fading 70,
many a year. Oh the sweet soft
ening influence that comes stream
ing from the old homestead ano

MIssOURI's FRUIT CROP.
An Interesting Report From the
Secretary of the State HOr-
ticultural Society.

The condition of the fruit crop in
Missouri, as reported by L. A.
Goodman, Secretary of the State
Horticultural Society, is as follows:
Apples-From all parts of the
State come hattering reports, and
only where the orchards held a
very full crop last year is there
any doubt about the prospect.
Pears-We find some injury in
the northern part of the State, and
in very many portions damage is
done to the LIE Comte.
Peaches-In the northwestern
part of the State they are killed,
and very badly injured all along
the northern portion, until you
come to the Eastern portion where
the prospects are so per cent. The
injury seems to drop down below
the Missouri River in the western
portion into jackson, Cass and
johnson counties, where it ranges
from so per cent. to 20 per cent.
The injury seems to be lighter as
you go East, and the line of injury
recrosses the river below Boone
county, and the counties near st.
Charles seem to be all right again,
The southern part of the State
seems to be free from injury and
the prospect bright. I fear the
cold of about March 1st has done
more injury than has been report,
ed, and that we will find other
places injured when closer exami.
nation is made. But whehwe take
into account that there are ter
times as many buds as we want
peaches on the trees, and we car
easily lose that many and ther
have good crop ofpeaches of better
size and quality than ever-we see
that we must not get frightened toe
soon.
Plums-The Wild Goose varie
ties are also badly injured, as wei
as the Kelsey and Prunes simoni
Cherries-Seem to be very little
injured yet, and prospects good.
Grapes-Prospeets never better
Raspberries, blackberries ant
strawberries-Are all right, excep
IN the northwestern part OF tht
State, where they were injured by
the dry weather of last summer
but as this is only local it does no
injure the prospects to any grea
extent.

That Third Party,

The constant presence of third
party at the fireside and table, says
Mrs. P. T. Barnum, is especially
disastrous in the earlier days of
wedlock. The presence of one who
is not "of ourselves may often re-
strain what is worst in US; but,
alas! it always restrains what is
best.
There must always be in the
most perfect unions and the best
