The Great Capt. Malbriage.

DIR. Geo. G. Pitzer writes the
Rural World as follows: "Now,
don't forget to say that Capt. Wal
bridge IL ,629 won Breeders Stake
$685. at Mexico in 2:271a, and that
he won Clark's stake, 81, 600 same
place, in three straight heats, and
that he has trotted fifteen hotly con.
tested races this year, has trotted
more heats than any two-year-old
that ever lived, won seven races,
second in six, third in one, and dis
tanced once. HIS sire is by Alley
one and his dam is by Happy
Medium, consequently his sire is
half brother to Martha Wilkes, 2:0S,
and his dam half sister to Nancy
Hanks, 2:04. You see this colt is
full OF trotting blood and can't help
but trot; and he is campaigner,
too, race horse, and can go as
many heats as any two-year-old on
earth. And please bear in mind
that his record of 2:27h is race
record, and nobody yet knows how
fast he can trot, but that he can
beat his record we know and that
very much too"

Quite q Mistake.

From the Galloway Gazette

rum tAS NaliahaS
AT the Warner rally at Mexico
there were three trains arrived about
the same time, to-wit: Chicago &
Alton, Wabash and Fulton trains.
The professions We're all formed at
the depot; bands and drum corps
were in line, all looking for Major
Warner. At that auspicious mo-
ment, James Middleton, prom
inent Republican, and 2 per cent
loan man of Galloway County, got
into a closed carriage and they took
him to be Maj. Warner, and with
procession, bands and drum corps
escorted Jim down to the hotel and
rushed up in the hall of the hotel
to make music. Jim slipped out of
the closed carriage, went to get q
drink and the procession, bands and
drum corps never found out the mis-
take but what they had serenaded
Warner in the hotel instead of
Middleton. Bob White should
have been at his post and prevented
the mistake.

KELLEY STUDENTS ON THE SHOOT
Quail Shooting to "Kill Time" al
Excelsior Springs.
From the Kansas City Journal.

From the Kansas City Journal
Those who think the rules govern
ing the Keeley Institute at Excel
sior Springs are such as to preclude
amusement andrecreation are greatly
mistaken. The writer's observation
at this now famous health and pleas
ure re ort compels him. to say that
the Kelley "Students" enjoy as
much freedom as any of the other
guests of the place.
In fact, it is very difficult to tell
who is taking the Kelley treatment
and who is not-until the men
themselves make it known. They
are generally so elated over their
cure, and the change in their feel
ings and health, that they cannot
fail to speak about it. One man
tells of his release from the morphine
habit, another from the cocaine
habit, others from the liquor demon,
the tobacco habit and so on. All
glory in their release and absolute
cure. Some of them take their dogs
and guns, or borrow some one else's,
and go out after quails, which are
to be found within short distance
of the Springs. Duck shooting is
also one of the present and pros
pective enioyments of the men who
are themselves getting "shot" four
times a day.
These men could not hold a gun
before they went to Excelsior, but
they are getting over their nervous
ness and beginning to enjoy life
again. They all speak of the ben
efits to be derived from drinking the
mineral waters. They say the
water tones up their systems, in
stills new blood and new life into
their veins and tissues, burned and
hardened by alcohol. In fact, the
secret of the great success of the
Kelley Institute at Excelsior
Springs seems to be, first-being a
branch of the parent house, and
operated by the Leslie E. Kelley
Company-using the remedies pre-
scribed and compounded by DR..
Kelley. And second, the effect the
Mineral Waters have in toning up
and renovating the worn out and
diseased organs of the victims of
alcohol and drugs. We met three
editors among the Kelley "Stud-
ents" and even their naturally in.
quisitive and skeptical dispositions
were satisfied. They informed the
writer that they all went to Excel
sior Springs doubling the efficacy of
the Kelley misunderstanding its
power to cure them of the desire for
drink, but they were all converted,
or rather they were Cured. And
after the closest investigation and
personal experience with the treat
ment they pronounced the Kelley
treatment a success, certain and
safe cure for the liquor and NOR
phine habits, and they all think
that Excelsior Springs is the ideal
location for q Kelley Institute.

THE WIND UP.


The Republicans made very re-
spectacle showing Thursday night.
The drilling rain marred the occa-
sion considerably, but it was very
creditable to the Republicans. After
a torchlight procession, participated
in by a hundred or so of miscel-

commenced at the opera and court
houses, which was largely attended.

didate for Congress against "Silver
Dick" Bland of the Eighth district,
and w. S. Hathaway, candidate for
Railrad Commissioner, made brief
speeches to packed house at the
Ferris Grand. Our townsman, w.
S. Hathaway, closed the affair with
his remarks. He said the most i'm
portant issue in the campaign in
Missouri was, 'Who shall be Gov
ernor.'' "Maj. Warner" he said,
is the idol of the Republican party
in Missouri. His party is the cham
pion of enterprise and progress. Our
political enemy, the Democratic
party, is the party of obstruction.
Its motto is Backward, turn back
ward. Our political chieftain
never has marshaled his hosts in
vain. Our leader has commanded,
Follow me;' and if we see to it
that no straggler leaves.our column
Maj. Warner will lead US to victory.
Such victory would be political
revolution which Missouri as the
keystone in the mighty arch which
shall span the chasm of sectional
hatred which has existed between
the great north and the great south
for the past fifty years. Our citi-

Missouri will become the center of

AUDRAiN's aREAT FAIR.
Views Of Correspondent who Saw
the Racing and Agricultural
Exhibits,

Correspondence of tina Ledger,
| WASHINGTON School House., Dot
1a.-Through the eourtesy OF the
Mexico LEDGER your correspondent
attended the Mexico Fair several
days last week.
| In going to the fair grounds one
must pass by the Missouri Military
Academy, which is of itself a proud
monument of the county's prosper.
ity. On reaching the grounds we
first visited the poultry department
and were shown the finest chickens,
ducks and geese we ever saw. Now,
the greater portion of this poultry
is owned by parties from Illinois,
but if our farmers would purchase a
pair of each variety of fowl ii would
be but one year until as good could
be raised and exhibited by citizens
of Audrain County. The chance of
improving your stock is the first
advantage the October Fair offers to
the citizens of Audrain county.
Not only is this true in the poultry
department but it is equally true
with sheep and cattle. Think of a
sheep weighing 337 pounds. 1t
seems almost impossible, yet they
could have been seen at the fair
grounds. Now, if Boone county
can raise this class of sheep so can
Audrain. The opportunity of in
creasing the size of our sheep by
buying pair of these and conse-
quently making sheep raising more
profitable should be eagerly en-
braced by our farmars.
We next visited the Agricultural
Hall and were told by Mr.. P. M.
Morris that the display in that de-
partment excelled any previous one.
We next turned our attention to the
horses and had the pleasure of see-
ing some of the fastest on the turf
flying around the kite shaped mile
track. Every one pronounced the
races excellent. Think of our track
being paced by athree year old in
2:13, the best time ever made by a
three year oldpacer, and a yearling
trotting in 2:2S1s.
The advantages of this fair to Au-
drain county and Mexico can not be
over estimated. Already it has
equal to that of any other
fair in the world Mexico is the
Lexington of Missouri. Already
Audrain county is considered the
banner county of Missouri for agri-
fine stock and general
The directors have
exerted themselves TO their utmost
to make the fair a success.
Will they succeed unless the farm
ers, blind to their own interests,
patronize it to that degree they
should? For my part, l have too
much confidence in the people to
believe that they will allow such an
advantageous institution to 60 down,
thereby placing an indelible stain
upon the now spotless reputation of
Audrain county. Think of the
horses, visitors and money it brings
to this county. May the Mexico
fair live on, growing stronger with
each year is the wish of

MEXICO. MISSOURI THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1892


who have come for treatment and
the condition OF those who have
been here for some time, and more
especially 80 when they can witness
the patients who have been cured
pursuing their daily avocation with
an earnestness and zeal not to be
found in their former business life.
The Kelley Institute was estab-
lished in 1880, and you will no
doubt be surprised to hear of the
number who have been treated and
cured through their system. There
have been over $4,000 who have
been restored, thanks to DIR. Kelley
and his wonderful discovery. Since
the establishment of this company
there have been organized in the
United States SO Kelley Institutes
(which are now in operation and
daily turning out scores of men re-
stored to their health and families,
and brought back to valuable
positions of responsibility and trust
in business life.
In addition to this, 1 learn that
they have established three Insti-
tutes in Europe and that the out
look for the spreading Of this Won
derful discovery there is more than
f1attering.
One can hardly appreciate the
magnitude and magnifcence of the
work being done here. There are
number here from the State of
Missouri and all doing well and
anxious to return in time to vote for
Cleveland and Stone, although pol
itics do not form a part of the social
intercourse among the members of
the club and patients-there being
quite number of Republicans here
taking treatment,-yet the political
view of everything remains un-
changed, the treatment not making
man any better Democrat or
poorer Republican. If 1 had m ore
time at my disposal I would write
you further in regard to this, but,
at future date, when T return I
will endeavor to give you more of
the facts, and, if my experience shall
be of any benefit in bringing others
to take this treatment, l shall feel
satisfied that I shall have done the
public service, if, through any
thing that l may say, such persons
are induced to come here to be re-
stored. There are men of all pro-
fessions, trades and occupations to
be found in line taking treatment
here and they consider it to be one
of the most important steps which
they have taken in their lives as it
restored them to health and in some
cases it has reunited families, and
has rendered their services of greater
value to the community in which
they reside.
If you think it worth while to
publish this for the benefit of your
readers please send me few cop
les of the paper and l will take
pleasure in handing them to some
of the Missouri boys and others
here. l shall be glad to greet you
on my return and have no doubt
you will notice the change as much
in my appearance as those do who
have watched it during my stay in
Dwight. 1t is almost impossible
for me to express the good feeling
mentally and physically Of which l
am now the possessor. With kind
regards, lam sincerely yours,
