THE MOST ENTERPRISING TOWN
IN THE COUNTRY.

From the Monroe City News.

From the Monroe City News.
The editor of the NeWs was in
Mexico this week to hear the lecture
Of Mr.. E. w. Stephens to the cadets
at Fleets military school, and at
tend the meeting Of the Missouri
Trottlng and Pacing Horse Breed
ers' Association. Mexico is great
town. It is a town ripe with en-
terprise. Enterprise seems to have
been born into every citizen there.
Even the LATEST man in town is
enterprising. He just can't help
it. He is picked up by the tide and
moved ON and on until he becomes
one of the town builders. Then
those people are all liberal givers.
They will give freely of their money
to build anything calculated 20 im-
prove the town. elf Bob White
should start with subscription pa
per to get funds for the purpose of
building war ship he could raise
the money inside Of twenty-four
hours. Actually those people will
give for anything. But it pays
them. By their enterprise and
liberality they have secured the
Missouri military school. the fire
brick works, best lair in the state,
and hundred other things which
unite in bringing the town good
business. There il no better inland
trade center in thu state than Mex
leo. ard che city is rapidly growing
ahead of all its neighbors. Bob
White, with his LEDGER, has done
much to build Mexico. He is a
worker, is known By every body in
the state and talks the Mexico Lam
guage wherever he goes.

Atlanta Journal. The results of yes
terday's election prove some things
very clearly.
1t is evident that the united Democ.
racy can elect its national ticket next
year If it will do two things:
!. Nominate men who command the
confidence and respect of the country.
,. Make the tariff the main issue.
With good ticket and sound plat
form, the heart and center of which
shall be a low tariff plank, We can not
cnly carry New York, New Jersey,
Connecticut and Indiana, which have
hitherto been sufficient to insure DEM
ocra:ic victory, but we can hold Massa-
chusetts, Rhode Island and Iowa, and
make Illinois, Michigan and Wiscon-
sin very doubtful. If Democrats take
heed of yesterdays lesson they will win
a great victory next year; if they shut
their eyes to it they will have to endure
defeat as the penalty of objectionable
stupidity.

Mr.. Simpson made score of speeches
in Ohio during the recent campaign,

feated. Heis disappointed at the small
vote cast for the third party candidates
for governor. In his own State, he
says, the fusion of the Democrats and
the Republicans injured the Alliance
party, while rainy weather kept many
farmers at home.

A ILLUSTRATING PLANT.
Remarkable Narrative that an English
Naturalist Has Taken Homo.

A curious story is told in the Review
Of Reviews about an alleged fesh-eat.
ing plant that has been discovered in
Nicaragua. The story is quite circum.
stantial, and, if it is really true, speci-
mems Of this remarkable plant should
be brought to New York, for they
would certainly prove an immense
attraction.
Nh. Dunstan, an English naturalist,
who has recently returned from Cen.
tral America, where he passed two
years in studying the fora and fauna
of the country, is responsible for the
story. Dunstan says he was exploring
one of the swamps which surround
Lake Nicaragua for botanical and
entomologicals alspecimens when he heard
his dog cry out, asif in agony. Dunstan
ran to the spot and found that fine,
rope-like tissue of roots and fbres had
enveloped the poor animal, that was
yelping as if in great pain. The plant
or vine which had made him prisoner
seemed to be composed entirely of bare,
interlacing stems, resembling the
branches of the weeping willow denuded
OF its foliage. The stems were nearly
black and were covered with a thick
viscid gam that exuded from the pores.
Mr.. Dunstan drew his knife and
tried to cut the poor beast free. He had
great difficulty in severing the muscu.
lar fbres of the plant. When he had
finally extricated the dog he saw to bis
astonishment that the animals body
was blood stained, "while the skin
appeared to have been actually sucked
or puckered in spots." The animal
staggered as if completely exhausted,
While he was cutting the vine the
tWigs curled around Mr.. Dunstan's
hand, and it required considerable
force to free his hand from the clinging
grasp of these twiggs. His flesh, where
the twiggs had touched it, was red and
blistered. The gum which exuded from
the vine had disagreeable odor.
Dunstan says the natives hold the
plant in the greatest horror, and call it
the devils snare" They told the
naturalist many stories of its death
dealing powers. He was able to dis
cover very little about the nature OF
the plant, owing 10 the difficulty OF
handling it, for its grasp can only be
shaken Off with the loss of skin and
even of flesh. He believes that its
power of suction is contained in num-
Der Of little suckers which, ordinarily
closed, open for the reception of food.
If the substance coming within reach
Of the plant is animal, the blood is
drawn off, and the carcass OF refuse is
then dropped. "a lump of raw meat
being thrown to it, in the short space
of five minutes the blood will be thor
oughly drank offand the mass thrown
aside. Its voracity is almost beyond
belief"
This is very curious story. There
are a good many Americans now at
work on the Nicaragua Canal, and Mr..
Dunstan's graphic narrative should be
submitted to them for veriication.

The State Board of education has

CHEAP BOOKS SECURED.
Superintendent Mayfeld made a re-
port of the result Of bis efforts to secure
cheap books, the following being mere
ly a synopsis:
Gentlemen of the Board: AT your
meeting in April last you appointed
me committee Of one to look into the
school book question for this State,
with view to securing, If possible, a
reduction in the prices Of the books on
the State list, and to make suggestions
of plans whereby the books might be
procured by the children Of the State
at the agreed prices. I immediately
eutered upon the work assigned me.
AT our meeting in July last l was
unable to make satisfactory report,
because Of the fact that had not been
able to hear fully from all Of the book
houses whose books were on our list,
and you asked me to continue the
work, which I have done, and sm now
ready to report. This report would be
too long were to incorporate the re-
plies which received u my letters.
content myself with making some short
extracts from some of the letters and
presenting the figures, which will show
for themselves. From them it will be
seen that considerable reduction has
been made from the original prices.
I take up the American Book Com
pany first, as it has mo- Books on our
State list than any other house.
I give the present retail price and
also the former retail prices, that the
difference may be seen at glance.

it can accomplish nothing. 1t must
surely be apparent to all alike that the

legislation is impossible do not exist.

A Vermillipn dispath to the
Journal of Sept. LIST says: 1ester-
day afternoon the news was received
in Vermillion that Mrs. G. Kraus,
living near Vermillion, had been
killed by falling from the door Of
her ice house. It seems that she
was in the habit of going to the ice
house each morning after ice, but
yesterday she was gone unusually
long, and her daughter went to look
for her and found her lying on the
ground dead. A physician was
summoned, who made an examine
ton and found that her neck was
broken and that death was instan-
taneous. Within the last two years
four members of the family have
died, three of the four having been
killed accidentally. Only two child
rem remain.
