RATHER ROUGH.
A Republican Paper Misrepresents
Hon. j. E. Hutton, Of Mexico.

The following clipping in reference
to ex-Congressman Hutton is taken
from the Washington City correspon-
dence to the Kansas City Journal,
and we presume is a political fake:
Colonel and ext Congressman Hut
ton, of Mexico, wants to get a chance
to enter the diplomatic service OF the
country. In his judgment matters
in that line never have been conduct
ed properly and he would be an in
valuable acquisition to the service.
He always prided himself on his
smoothness in affairs around Mis-
souri, and he has concluded that hav-
ing worked the field thoroughly it is
now time for him to get out and regu-
late the world at large. He has made
this fact known in his own peculiar
ly diplomatic way and hopes to get
a substantial reply early after the
next administration puts in an ap,
~pearance. He has been unusually
active in this little matter. and has
started out automatically. The en-
tire delegation knows that he wants
something, but SO far he has moi
made a selection. In this he aims
to be very accommodating, as be
does not propose to restrict them.
He simply wants a good thing. Not
particular whether it is North, South
or in the middle and of course EasI
or West cuts no figure. 1t is sim
ply an application for a good, relia'
Bile, easy, official snap. This de-
scribes his feelings in the matter, ex
| actly.

COAL BANK,
A Nice Vein Of Coal Struck at Six.
teen Feet Below the Surface.

Philip Hellwig, who has been pros
pecting for coal just northwest OF
Mexico, at a depth of sixteen feet
struck a two and one-half foot vein
of good coal, which he will proceed
to work. Mr.. Hellwig says he is
satisfied that at the depth of 12O
feet there is a four foot vein OF coal
but he cannot afford to sink a shaft
to that depth by himself. He has
estimated the cost of sinking a shaft,
6x12, 100 feet deep, to be about
$500. He thinks a company
should be formed to bore that depth,
which would not cost very much,
and then, if the coal is of sufficient
thickness, there would be no trouble
to raise money to sink a shaft. Mr..
Hellwig says he thinks a shaft can
be sunk 100 feet in about two months
unless water interferes. He has
carefully estimated the cost and
thinks 1t would amount to some
thing like $500. We trust a COM
pany will be formed and a hole
drilled at least that depth.

A BIG DEAL.
\ $4,000 Trade In Real Estate ana
Observation-Disclosures & Hill Sell
Out to George W. Robert.
son, OF Montgomery
City.

On account of the illness of Mr..
Jas. Clacher, the firm of Clacher &
Hill during the past few weeks made
arrangements to close up their bus
mess. and sell out. On Monday Mr.
George w. Robertson, of Montgom-
cry City, Mo-, purchased the store
room and warehouse of this firm for
$13 800 in cash. About the middle
OF February the same gentleman will
take the hardware and implements
at invoice. Mr.. Robertson is one
of the largest hardware men in the
state and has been in business at
Montgomery City for years, selling
out a few weeks since. Mr.. Robert
son, in addition to his retail bust
ness, has a large iobbing trade, sell
ing large amounts of goods to deal
ers throughout Missouri. Mr.. Rob
ertson and family viii remove to
this city to reside permanently
early in the year, and we take pleas
ure in welcoming them to church,
business and social circles of this
city and we are sure they will prove
quite ali acquisition. Mr.. Hill will
remain with Mr.. Robertson for at
least a year. He will also have
With him Mr.. Harper, who is now
lcting as chief of the implement de-
partment, and will likely occupy tn
same position here. Mr.. Harper i
a relative of John Howell and the
Harpers of this city, and is a first
class business man. Mr.. Robertson
informs the LEDGER that he will
continue his iobbing department in
Mexico and expects to hold his
large wholesale business and even
increase it if possible. Mexico be-
ing so much better located in regard
to railroad facilities we are satisfied
that his wholesale trade will double
within a year. Mr.. Robertson will
put in plate glass front and greatly
improve the store room and make
it one of the handsomest in the
CITY.

Instantly Killed.
JAMES WYLDE, AN OLD CITIZEN
or BENTON CITY, KILLED
By THE CARS.
lie Was Walking Toward Mexico and
The Fast Wabash Struek Him
The Train Whistled, But
He Was Hard Of
Hearing.

The fast Wabash passenger, due
in Mexico at l. :21, struck James
Wylde two and a half miles east of
Mexico yesterday and instantly kill
ed him. He never knew what hit him.
Mr.. Wylde was about 50 years old
and very deaf. He lived in Benton
City and left there about II O'Clock
for Mexico, walking on the track.
The engineer saw him and whistled
twice, but being deaf the deceased
did not hear the warning and the
pilot dashed against him. He
was knocked a hundred feet, both
legs and one arm broken, his skull
fractured on the left side and his
breastbone crushed. The train stop
ped as sudden as possible and the
corpse was picked up and brought
to Mexico on the slow passenger,
which was Just behind the fast train.
Most of the passengers got off of the
train and took a look at the CHASTITY
sight and several women nearly
tainted.
Coroner Fritts viewed the body,
decided an inquest unnecessary and
the remains we're taken back to
Benton City.
Mr.. James Wylde had been a re-
lspected citizen Of Benton City for
many years. He leaves a wife and
six children-Dave Wylde, Of Iowa,
Mrs. Elliott Cahoon, near Benton,
Mrs. LaFavre, Southwest Missouri,
Benjamin F. and George Wylde. B.
F. Wylde is proprietor of the Ben
ton City Nursery. The dead man
was an Englishman and one of the
oldest and best known men of the
East End of the county.
The LEDGER deplores his sad end
and extends sympathy to the be-
reaved wife and family.
