ST. JOSEPH No, ocT. 53-we come now to
consider November weather. The interior OF
the United States Jared comparatively well
through September aud part Of October. while
the eastern coasts aud the west Of Europe suf-
fered terribly. Storm waves move from west TO
east, but the maximum Of storm influences has a
retrograde movement approaching this COnti-
nent from the east, and ia the history Of the re-
cent most terrible storms on both sides Of the
Atlantic that have occurred for many years.
the outlook for November i'm the United States
does not promise all sunshine Evidences are
accumulating for the verification Of my pre-
dictiOn that the most disastrous storms OF re-
cent times would occur during the latter part
OF 1891 and the first half Of 1892.
Tho first storm wave OF November will be
due 10 leave the Pacific Coast about Oct. 30
cross the great interior valleys from Oct. 81 TO
Nov. ,, and reach the Atlantic Coast about the
Sd. A cold wave. severe for the time of year,
may be expected to appear in the northwest,
following this storm center. and cause frOsts in
all the Northern, aud most Of the Southern
States, closing the cotton growing season by
Nov. .. Our Winter weather will approach
from the northwest, and Winter will set in
earlier there and be more severe than in tho
northeastern States and this storm wave will
be followed by Wintry weather in the upper
Missouri and upper Mississippi Valleys
Among the farmers aud planters the impress
sion is general that we will have an early aud
severe Winter, and present indications are
quite favorable 10 this idea therefore farm
work is being pushed rapidly. This is espe-
cially the case in the cotton States, where cot
ton is being rushed into the market at an
enormous rate, and this. Notwithstanding tho
early killing frost, is made use Of to keep down
the price of cotton. Planters will SEQ their
mistake a little later on in not holding their
cotton.

The Editors Wife.

From the SheiD1na Democrat.
Mrs. White, wife of the editor Of the
Mexico LEDGER, read bright, wit
ty, brilliant paper to ye editors as
sembled at Moberly on the Editors
Wife," About all of US save Wal
ter Williams, Burckhartt and Gray
know little too much about this
subject already by-no, we will not
say sad-eyperience. But Mrs.
White summed up the many ad-
vantages and disadvantages of the
position, and finding the latter
much more numerous than the for
mer she consoled herself and sisters
by the reflection that, we'll anyhow
sit is better to be an editors wife
than nobody's wife at ALL" and SO,
in the spirit of the fox in the fable,
she urged the unmarried editors to
entiee other women into the trap;
and with such persuasive words as
"a guardian angel DER his life presiding,
Doubling his pleasures and his cares dividing, -
did Mrs. White plead with the
bachelors. We say amen!
Now what did "Bob" White do,

Don't buy without first calling
on La Crosse Lumber Co.

The gentlemen visitors from
Mexico last Thursday, whose
names are given elsewhere, took
in the town after the wedding.
They were shown Perry's business
houses, banks, new mill, opera
house, churches, etc., and made
the Enterprise office a brief but
pleasant call. All expressed sur
prise at the substantial growth of
the town, and the progressive
spirit of our citizens as manifested
on every hand. But Bob White,
of the LEDGER, who is quick to
discern the needs of a town, as
well as see the good points, said !:
"I'm surprised that you people
haven't good public school build
ing. That's what you need worse
than anything else now." OF
course it is. but that need will be
supplied before another year is
gone.-Perry Enterprise.

California's multimillionaire Sen
ator, Leland Stanford, lucky and wise
enough to do so, has had made to
order one Of the most elaborately
equipped educational institutions in
the country. True, there are but
few people now living who will see
the Stanford University when it has
a history and when its graduates
may Tighten their old age BY revel-
ing in the traditions of their alma
mater, but all of us may see at once
the power of money. Twenty mill
ions of dollars bestowed by one man
may put up buildings, buy libraries,
equip laboratories and secure the
best available brains to manage
those things, and they may even
secure students, but the reminis-
cences, associations, dreams and a
lot of other things cannot be bought.
Still it is not impossible that a real
university may be made a success
without those accessories.

Hints for the Home.

Rub lamp chimneys in salt before
washing. 1t will brighten them.
Wash the hands in cider vinegar
before retiring. It will make
them soft and smooth.
One-third Of teacupful Of mo-
lasses is a good substitute for wine
glass Of brandy in fruit cake or pud-
ding.
Pine may be made to look like
some beautiful wood by giving re-
peated coats Of hot linseed oil and
rubbing hard after each coat.
A scarcity of empty beer bottles
is what they are complaining of in
Wichita, Kan. They are in great
demand for catsup preserving.
IF the difference in the favor Of
white and black pepper were more
generally known very little black
| pepper would be used by any one.
Buy bar soap by the quantity il
you wish to be truly economical
Stand the bar on edge, one above
another, with as much open space
as possible between them. They
will then dry out and last almost
twice as long.
In these days of autumn house
cleaning the wall brush made with
an extension handle, so that thu
highest ceiling may be reached with
ease, will be found veritable boor
to tired cleaners. The handle is o,
the lightest wood procurable. 1t il
scarcely heavier than a handle o
bamboo, and it may be extended tt
twice its regular length. 1t is St
arranged that either a brush of hail
or scrubbing brush may be attach
ed to the handle.

DR.LEsLEY e. KELLEY, of D wight,
ILL.,, writes the editor ofthe LEDGER
that the North american Rerse,u tor
the month of December will con-
tinue an article from him in regard
to the death of Col. Mines. There
is nothing unexpected in the case
Of the death of Mines, as Keeley
doee not claim to free his patients
from relapses, but claims to perma-
nently cure 95 per cent. of his pa
tients. Nervous conditions and 9TH
er circumstances bring about re-
lapses where the patient has been
abusing himself for years. The only
wonder lie that more of that class OF
people do not die. Not that the
treatment causes any such tenden.
cy, but thas the condition of many
of the patients are such that in all
probability they could not have
lived three months except for the
treatment. DR.. Keeley does not
think that any particular explana-
ton in this case is necessary, but
as the public expected something
Of the kind, he has given his views,
which is looked for with interest,

The banquet given by the local
Board of Ur derwriters at the Wind
sor Hotel last week was a brilliant
affair, and was truly a "feast of rea.
son and a flow Of SOUL" The local
Underwriters are among Mexico's
most enterprising and pushing busi.
ness men and are always doing
everything in their power for any
interest which will prove an advan-
tage to Mexico and Audrain eoun-
ty. If the local Board of Under
writers would resolve themselves

suits accomplished for Mexico in a

The Louisville Courier-Journal,
speaking of the Australian system
of voting, says: SIN the recent
elections the secret ballot has been
tested under widely differ ent cir
cumstances, with results uniform
ly favorable. In Chicago the ticke,
was long and the voting complicat.
ed, but the ballot secured absolute
fairness to all parties.
"This ballot gives new dignity
and independence to the voter, and
removes the turbulent crowd oi
workers and bummers which US
uslly surround the polls.
"The hanger-on, the ticket dis
tributor, the whole army of ward
workers who exist only to black
mail the candidates, will unite IN I
chorus against the secret ballot
but the elections Tuesday shov
that this ballot has come to stay
There are certain changes which
will be made from time to time
but all will be in the direction o
securing absolute secrecy and th'
consequent independence of th'
voter.'

MEXICO MISSOURI, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 49, 1891.

THE Democratic Central Commit.
tee met in st. Louis Friday in con.
junction with the committeeof the
National DemocratioLeague organi-
zation. The meeting was for the
purpose of formulating a plan of
thoroughly organizing the State.
The st. Louis Republic, speaking
of this matter, says: "The plan
contemplates compact organiza-
ton of clubs in every township in
the State. Each club is chartered
by the Executive Committee of the
association and certificates of mem.
bership are issued to each member.
Central headquarters for the State
will be Immediately established at
Hannibal, and from it will be sup
piled campaign literature from time
to time, and also blanks and char
ters for organizing clubs. The head.
quarters will be in charge of Secre-
tary Knott, but for the convenience
of the southwest portion of the
State it was arranged for the prssi-
dent, F. W. Fleming, of Kansas
City, to also have the necessary
blanks and charters for organic
ing associations. This plan of car
rying on political work has been
tried very successfully in New York
and Pennsylvania and great inter-
est has been exhibited in this State
in the organization. The plan is
heartily indorsed by the Democrat
ic State Central Committee and the
Executive Committee of that body
is warmly CO operating with the Of
fcers of the club. They adjourned
at IL O'Clock to meet again on De-
cember Is, when the entire State
Committee will probably convene.
