Three parties were arrested and

fine was made 81 and costs. Mr..
Goodrich, ofthe Mexico Fire Brick
Works, from which company tie
coal was stolen, said that he did
not wish any large penalty impos.
ed, but that stealing coal from his
yard must be stopped. Several
tons of coal have been taken from
his yards, and the company even
went to an expense of employing q
special policeman, but this did not
stop the stealing. Mr.. Goodrich
says they have favored a great
many poor people who have asked
for coal, never turning any away
who were considered at all deserv.
ing. We understand that a large
amount of coal was stolen from
Mr.. Guthrie not long since, and
that private coal houses have been
broken into and robbed within 6
week. The officers are on the
lookout for the offenders and those
captured in the future will not gel
off 80 easily. There is no necessi
ty for men "being compelled tt
steal to keep from freezing" II
the first place, there is no trouble
to get work, and in the next place
any man would give a person
enough coal to keep him warm.

should. The committee says that
only a few give as much as $500
and none give in more than that
amount. This committee says
that this natter is to be pushed
until the business men give in
what the law requires or be report
ed to the grand jury. A large in
crease in the amount of money and

Pears
Soap

People have no idea how
crude and cruel soap can be.
1t takes off dirt. So far,
so good; but what else does
it do?
1t cuts the skin and frets
the under-skin ; makes red
ness and roughness and
leads to worse. Not soap,
but the alkali in it.
Pears Soap has no free,
a1kali in it. 1t neither red
dens nor roughens the skin.
1t responds to water in
stantly; washes and rinses
off in a twinkling; is as
gentle as strong; and the
after-effect is every way
good. g
All sorts Of stores sell it,
especially druggists; all sorts
of people use it.

To the connoisseur of trotting

have produced many of the great

Tattler Boy is not only bred for
speed, but he has the correct con-
formation. With proper handling
! he should prove a fast trotter, and
with a chance in the stud he should
sire abundance of speed.
i Apart from his speed producing
qualities he should prove a great
sire of coach and carriage horses.

The intelligence received in

Masonic Benefit Association of
Missouri, the life insurance de.
partment of the Masonic organiza-
ton, was behind to the extent OF
S13O, 600 and that it had little or
no prospect for q longer lease
on life than to-day, carried dis
may to many persons in this
city who are insured in the
concern. AS it is one OF the oldest
Insurance Companies in the State,
and was extensively used by Ma
sons now getting slong ii years,
the fact OF it's suspension is all the
more to be deplored, for nine
tenths of it's members are now too
aged to secure another insurance.

in that time it has paid to the wild
ows aud orphans of its members
over 81, ,2O0, 600, and the periodical
examinations of accounts never de-
veloped one cent of shortage. 1t
has a perfectly honorable record to
this day, and good business man-
agement only has kept it alive un-
til the present time.
The Immediate cause of its ser
ious embarrassment is the heavy
losses it sustained in the death of

November and december, due
largely to the prevalence of la
grippe.

THE Horse Breeders of Missouri,
especially those who are members
of the Missouri Horse Breeders
Association, are in favor of per-
manent location for the meeting of
this body, both for its winter meet.
ing and its trotting meeting. The
Association should have a home,
centrally ant pleasantly located,
The Breeders at the late meeting
would have attended to this matter
definitely if their entire time had
not been taken up by other mat
ters. The erection of a kites haped
mile track in Mexico we think will
settle this problem. There is no
better place in the State for the
permanent location of the Horse
Breeders Association than Mexico
4 first-class kite-shaped mile
track, plenty of water, feed cheap,
hotel accommodations ample and
reasonable and everything that is
necessary to make the meetings a
success can be found in this city
and on reasonable terms. This
matter, We think, will come before
the next meeting of this association
and everything depends on the
success of the trotting meeting in
this city next October. Our peo-
pie intend to sea TO it that this
meeting is success in every sense
of the word. We are sure tha,
the executive committee will be
unanimous forMexico as the perma-
nent home of the Horse Breeders
of Missouri. This means a great
deal for Mexico and Audrain coun-
ty aud we trust that our people
will look into this matter and thor
ougly understand it and act accord
