MARTINSBU Re- ITEMS.

Correspondence of the Ledger.
MARTINsBuRG, Mo-, Dec. T.
Sunday is Il very popular day at
Martinsburg for Wellsville folks,
Mrs. Crigler, of Mexico, visited
among her many friends here last
week.
The meeting at the Christian
church closed at the end of two
weeks with twenty additions.
Everybody has got a bad cold.
There is lots of sickness in this
end of the county.
Among the births during the last
week or so ire: To Mr.. and Mrs.
Vim. Pike, a daughter; to Mr.. and
Mrs. Benny kimnoe, Il son; to Mr..
and Mrs. Nelson, a son; to MI and
Mrs. R~uschenburg, a son.
Our county papers have been
booming our town considerable OF
late, but not more than is due it.
Coal is being shipped out in large
quantities every day besides sup
plying the local demand which is
great. More hands are wanted at
the pit and there is no excuse for
idle bones around here and no room
for them either.
What we need and are going to
continue to need
Lots of hands at the pit.
Moneyed men who are not afraid
to build a lot of houses for rent,
thereby realizing more than 10 per
cent. upon principal invested.
We are sure that miniature race
track here for some of our amateur
race horses should be built.
We are sure that a bank at this
place would do well. Why shouldn't
it?
We need a delivery arrangement
here and the first firm starting one
out is going to get all the town trade
'and don't you forget it,"
And we need another shaft at the
west end of town to balance with
the east end, and guess we'll have it,
too, las we hear that a company is Or
ganized for that purpose.
Messrs. Glass, Gale and Cash
Copeland and Messrs. Travis, Rob-
ert, Shaner and Harris formed a
hunting crowd who spent a part of
last week near Shamrock and re-
turned loaded down WITH game or
various kinds.
Mr.. and Mrs. Williams are absent
on a visit through the east.
A Union Sunday School has been
organized by Prof, Settles which is
proving quite a success.
We are sure to have a Christmas
tree laden with the fruit ofthe purse
as a good committee is already in
charge of it..

QUITE a number of newspapers
throughout the country are hopping
on to the bones of Jay Gould like
human vultures. These papers
find it popular with certain classes
and not at all dangerous to abuse a
man after he is dead. Referring to
this matter the Kansas City Star
says: Now that Mr.. Gould is dead
any number of persons are ANNOUNCE
cling that he was all sorts of mean
things and claiming that his success
was due to his cold blooded cum
ming. 1t has come out in the
biographies that Gould was a very
hard working man; that, as a boy,
he was used to getting up at 4o'clock
in the morning to study, while the
other youth of the generation that is
abusing him were getting their
"beauty Sleep" 1t has also been
found that he was regular and meth
odieal in his work, and it is likely
that there was not so much luck and
ld-bloodedness in his success as
the unthinking were likely to sur
mise. MIR. Gould was not a proper
character to walk up and down the
pages of a Sunday School book, be-
cause his ambition was not of a high
order, but such as it was he stuck
to it and kept it before him early
and late, and finally satisfied it.
That is something to ones credit
even if the ambition is not the best.

A Missouri Legislator,

From the legislature to Jail is not
an unheard-of' thing in the history
of state governments, but in going
from jail to the legislature Judge
Lane, presiding judge ofthe County
Court of Cass county, Missouri, will
have rather exceeded the record.
Judge Lane is an official resident
of one of those counties sweating
under the burden of a great railroad
debt. The duty of the Judge was
to have levied a tax to meet interest
on these bonds, but, leaning in his
%sympathies toward the taxpayers,
he refused. For this he was sem
fenced to Jail by a United States
Judge. While in Jail the populace,
relieved of an impending financial
stress by his action, nominated him
for representative. He accepted,
hired a typewriter and conducted
his campaign by mail in such a
manner that he led his ticket by
several hundred votes. His term
as judge expires Jan. list and he
will step out of Jail directly into the
state assembly.

THERE are still a very few people
who do not think advertisements
are read. Some of these same
people think newspapers are as a
rule, not generally read by the pub
lie. The Galloway Gazette stands
ready to test this matter. 1t offers
to publish free of cost a proposition
from any merchant to "give one
dollars worth of sugar for each cat
delivered at his place of business
within ten days" The Gazette is
willing to place the advertisement
in the most obscure corner of the

The proposition to elect United
States Senators by popular vote has
been carried in California by a large
majority. The movement to this
end, originating in Illinois, is meet
ing with much favor in all sections,
and it seems probable that at no re-
mote period the Upper House of
Congress will spring as directly from
the people as now does the body
which forms its complement in leg
islation. The capitalization of our
house of lords will be a long stride
in the pathway of Democratic pro-
gress.

The st. Louis Republic, speak
ing of Jay Gould, says: Mr.. Gould's
personal charities were distributed
with his characteristic desire to
avoid publicity, and he usually
gave to those actually in want. One
act in his career which won him
thousands of friends was performed
during the yellow fever epidemic
in Memphis, when he sent a tele-
gram to the Mayor of the city read
ing:
Draw on me for all the money you
want. JAY GOULD.
His unruifled GOODNESS under all
circumstances, keen perception,
prompt decision and action, as well
as remarkable memory, were the
strong, natural factors that made
his career successful.
