ROGER O.. MILLS, speaking OF
free coinage of silver, says: The
law passed last year providing for
the purchase of 1850, 600 ounces OF
silver bullion per month, equal to
about 5000, 900, has SO far had no
perceptible effect in relieving the
distresses of the country. But il
we had free coinage it would pro-
duce no ~appreciable effect for good
until taxation is reduced. The first
step to take is to reduce the rates
of taxation to the lowest possible
point, and increase imports and
exports to the highest possible
point. That will lower the price
of manufactures, raise the price Of
agricultural products, distribute
the congested wealth of the coun.
try and revive its industries in all
departments. When we accom-.
plish this we can settle the silver
question. Until it is done We
should permit nothing to distract
our councils or divide our forces.
II we act wisely we will unite as
one man and strike with all our
forca for q reduction of the tariff
and an enlargement of our trade.
1t would be folly for us now to go
to wrangling over silver and divide
our own forces. We are for tariff
for revenue only.

COL. LAZEAR ROBBED.
Thieves Break Into His House

Special Dispatch to the Ledger.
AUxvAssE, Mo-, March 23.-Last
night while Col. Lazear, postmas-

with his family, some person or
persons entered his house by way
of a window and stole over $500 in
stamps, greenbacks and silver and
a $40 check on the Auxvasse bank.
1t was a very bold act, as it is the
custom of the Col. to always leave
a lamp burning, and 1t was at that
time burning. Persons passing
noticed the light and heard a noise
in the house, but supposed it to be
some one of the family. This
morning two tracks, a large and
small one, were cen leading out to
the. alley back of the house. The
officers are on the trail of the
thieves but nothing further has
been discovered.

FACTS IN III CASE

A carpenter, named Barton, died
suddenly of hemothage of the nose
in south Mexico last night. Some
of our physicians and DR.. Adams,
of Montgomery City, who is well
acquainted with the disease, said
he had the small pox. Some of
our physicians claim he had the
measles.
In order to be on the safe side
the city authorities r acting on
the presumption that he had the
small pox. All kinds of rumors
about small pox and about the
closing of the schools are afoat.
The above are the facts in the mat
ter.
The schools are not closed on
this account. A holiday had been
agreed upon for to-day in most OF
the rooms before the death was re-
ported. Even if the man did die
of small pox the disease cannot
spread. Such steps have been
taken as to make it impossible for
there to be another case. Don't
listen to idle stories. There is nc
cause for alarm and the public will
be kept fully aware of any devel.
opments. The physicians, withou1
a single exception, endorse the &C
ton of the city authorities and say
that under existing circumstances
even if the case was small pox
there is but little show for it t.
spread. Get vaccinated and g
about your business as usual. Th'
city will g that a strict quaran
tine is enforced.
There is no small pox In Mex
leo. Even if there has been
case, traces are now completed.
and effectually buried or burned
Small pox is not half as con
tagious as many believe. A lead
ing physician informs the LEDGE
that it is not nearly as bad as diph
liberia.
We think it proper and better 70
the business interests of Mexico
as well as for the public health
that the exact facts IN the cas-
should be published.

BUSY WIFE.
A Glimpse of the Great Preach
er's Business Manager.

Mrs. TaImage is distinctly her
husbands right hand, and all the
details of his busy life are looked
after by her, says EDWARD w. Box
in the Ladies' Home Journal. She
is a business woman, having a rare
executive ability, capable of easily
handling a number of things at the
same time. Much of DR.. Tai
mage's daily work is planned and
laid out by her. She makes his
pastoral and social engagements,
and all his lecturing interests are
in her hands. She knows his Ca
pacities even better than he. When
ever a journey is to be made, it Is
she who lays out the route, pro-
cures the tickets and staterooms,
and attends to all the details. No
public man, perhaps, is saved So
many annoyances IS is DR.. Tai
mage by his wife's foresight and
ability. The rear apartment ofthe
second floor is Mrs. Talmage's
working room. 1t is tasteiully
furnished, but more with an eye to
utility than ornamentation. In
this room Mrs. Talmage spends
most of her time. 1t is cher
private den." All the mail that
is left at the house for DR.. Talmage
is taken into this room and is
opened by her. 1t Is not an unus-
ual thing for the postman to deliy-
er between 100 and 200 letters a
day, all of which pass through Mrs.
Talmage's hands. Business letters
are answered by her, and all let
tiers that may be of an unpleasant
or annoying personal nature are
destroyed. DR.. Talmage never
sees them.
A day in Mrs. Talmage's home
would be a revelation to those
who believe that the life OF q
public mans wife is a succession
of pleasures, dotted here with a
pretty compliment and there with
some token of honor. While many
people are yawning and preparing
to break their nights rest, Mrs.
Talmage is already up, opening
the first mail. Breakfast is prompt.
ly at 8 o'clock. Then the family
separate and the wife begins to re-
ceive callers-which alone is 8
task. It is a w%ell-known saying
among the neighbors that ''the
Talmage bell is never STILL" AL
kinds of people must be seen, IN
Vulnerable appointments made ane
kept, the pastoral work of the
largest church in America must be
looked after, the details of a score

airy societies with which Mrs. Tai
mage or her husband is connected

ton to all these, are the household
cares of a large house and a family
of growing children. ALI the ap
