A False Report.
To the Editor of the Ledger.

To the Editor Of the Ledger.
Mexico, NO., Sept. 16.h.-The
report a certain person is circulat-
ing regarding the ill-treatment of a
woman on the County Farm by
myself or by those under me, is en-
tlrely without foundation. There
is not a word of truth in it, as the
County Judges and County Physi-
clan will testify. Furthermore,
there was no publication in any
newspaper regarding my allowing
this woman to suffer in any shape
or form. The woman in question
is a nice genteel old lady and hel
personal appearance and comfort
differ greatly from her condition
before l assumed charge. The
public is invited to call and sc.
how I manage the County Farm.

Note It--He Is Here !

Prof. 8. Waldmann, the WELL
known German optician, is in the
city and can be found at his office
in the Windsor Hotel. Parties
desiring to procure spectacles or
Eyeglasses perfectly suited to their
eyes should not fail to consult him
at once, as he will remain a few
days only. Don't wait until the
last minute, or you may regret
it in the future. The Prof. can fit
you in glasses better than you have
been before. Call and see him; he
charges nothing for consultation.
Our readers must not associate
this gentleman with the innumera-
BILE quacks and charlatans that in
fest the country, as he is a thor.
oughiy educated optician and
wherever known enjoys the per-
feet confidence of the best people
of the community including leading
physicians
Recent scientific discoveries
have disclosed many peculiarities
of the eyes, a difference being fire..
quently observable between the
eyes of one person. The diagnosis
of these complications and the ad-
justment of suitable glasses is sci.
ence which Prof. WaIdmann has
made a life study. 1t is seldom
that the people of this vicinity
have the services of such special.
lists at their command, and they
should lose no time in consulting
him.
He guarantees his glasses for five
years, and will exchange them a,
any time when they do not suit.

MISSOURI MILITARY ACADEMY.
From Hardin College the Govern
and the Board went directly to
the Missouri Military Academy
where the Governor reviewed the
cadets and then adjourned to the drill
hall where a large number of promi-
nent citizens had gathered to
hear his address. This school
is opening spleudidIy and all
present expressed their gratifi-
cation at this fact. The exercises
were opened by Col. A. F. Fleet
reading a magnificent paper on the
benefits and advantages of military
education. As GOV. Gtancis said,
"His paper should be printed in
pamphlet form and scattered among
the young men of the nation" Col.
Fleet thanked the visitors for their
presence and expressed his gratifca-
ton at the interest taken in the sue
cess of the school and with a few
clever remarks introduced the Gov
ernor. The speech which followed
by the Governor was a splendid ad-
dress and we only wish we had the
room to give it in full, He talked
to the boys and young men in such
a manner as to make a very strong
impression OIL them. He congratu-
lated Mexico on having such a
school with such a management and
said the institution was an honor to
the city, county, state and nation; he
said he fully Endorsed all Col. Fleet
had said in favor Of military educa-
ton and showed his confidence in
this school by placing two Of his
boys here. He spoke in strong
terms Of education in general and
said that only those who had grown
up without an education could ap-
preeiate fully the opportunities Of
fered to young men. He said that
it was we'll in time of peace to pre-.
pare for war, aud that while, per-
haps, the young men at present
were never to be called upon to en-.
ter the army that every American
citizen should be prepared at any
| time to become a soldier. He spoke
in the highest terms of the presi.
dent of the school, its faculty and
expressed his qualification at its
brilliant opening. Speaking o
young men gong out into life aftel
the close of their college career, HI
said that he was not in favor o
their going west or going east; tina
there were splendid openings RICH
here in Missouri-the best state il
the Union; that there was plent,
of room in every profession at tn,
top. He then gave some solid an
appropriate advice to the youni
men present, ~reiterating in a yer.
impressive manner the orportunitie
offorded them and the necessity {
doing their duty. At the close q
the Governors remarks the visitor
were shown through the magnif
cent building and all expressed thei
surprise and delight at the capacit
and magnifeenee of the institution

tools in working the roads.
T. w. Smith, of Chillicothe,

has been in attendance at the con-

County Court of Audrain county,
says he is glad to find such an in.
terest taken in the road question.
He says none but farmers can ap-
preciate the Importance of good
roads. Judge Smith is strongly in
favor of the very best machinery
in working the roads. He says a
large amount of money can be
saved and much better results can
be accomplished by using labor
saving machinery.

Mr.. Davault paid a high compli'
ment to the roads in Audrain

poses. He says that too much i'm
portance cannot be placed on the
question O. having good roads.

sioner of Audrain county, is one o
