referring to the turf journals of re-
cent date you can see that two of his
colts, Eliza K, a 4 year old mare,
in a five heat race at St. Joseph,
Mo-, Oct. 81, won the Sd, 4th and
9TH heats in 2:22l9, 2:234
2:264, and never made a bobble
in the whole race. Two days later
one of his 3 year old sons, Guy, in
the :35 class, won in straight heats
and logged in the last heat in 2:3O
to prevent distancing the field. Rob-
ert Rysdyk's mother, Queen Bee,
now has no equal as a producer of
a high rate of speed, having
three entire sons with average
records better than 2:15, all by
different sires, which is an honor
that has never been equalled by any
other mare. When we take into
consideration that Robert is a grand
son of Hambletonian 10, his sire a
producer of speed and race horses,
his motheron of the greatest mares
the world ever produced in the point
OF transmitting a high rate of speed
to her offspring, and that he is in

gated as the best and possesses a
high rate of speed, which qualities
he transmits to his offspringin near
ly every instance, there is no rea-
son why the public in general, and
his owner in particular, should not
feel proud of him.

The CentraliaC Courier says: There
is a farmer in Audrain county whose
work is entirely mapped out with re-
ference to the moon. Fence posts
are planted when the moon points
up SO they are kept from sinking out
of sight. The roofs of the build
ings were put up when the moon
"pointed down." so as to pre-
vent the nails from pulling out of
the shingles. Wheat is sown in the
"dark of the moon" to hide the
seeds from birds and worms. He
invariably butchers his hogs when
the moon is full, otherwise he claims
that the meat would shrivel up in
the pan.

THURSDAY NIGHTS PARADE.
A Big Old Time Democratic Rally With
Many Hundreds of Voters In Line.

Mexico went wild Thursday night
wild as a March hare. Business
was stopped and pandemonium took
up its reign. Verify, the night was
a gay carnival hideous with a thou
sand conflicting noises, joyous with
the assembled throngs, good natur-
ed and fun loving a S such crowds
always are. Late into the night
the cannon doomed the torches
danced and the rural riders rode.
1t was a celebration that should be
marked on the town records with
red ink. Nobody stayed away
except a few sore Republicans who
sat at home and gnawed their hearts
out when they thought of the fun
the Democrats were having.
Many more than one. thousand
Democratic voters fell into the line
that formed on Promenade street at
$50 o'clock in the evening. Fol-
certain it is that one thousand light
ed torches were distributed among
them and even then left many with
out light.
The line all formed with Major
Ricketts, and his staff in command,
the head of the long procession
started east on Promenade street,
went to the east end of town, came
back to the square on Monroe street,
continued west almost to the west
ern limits of the city then back on
Jackson street to the square again,
where the line broke up. The
mounted voters led, followed by the
boys on foot and the hambeau
club. The transparencies held
aloft were covered with such ener-
getic sentiments as: Clown with
the ballot burners" "There are no
fiesonlittle Ruth, ""Vote it straight
for Cleveland, Stevenson, Stone and
Clark"
Colonel John W. Atchison rode |
up and down his line of boys on a
small Shetland pony all bedecked
in ribbons and streamers. His |
drummers were scarcely three feet
in height. The parade was a very
noisy one and Democratic senti-
ments made the air loud. The
fambeau club stopped at the square
and performed its difficult evolu-
tons. The drill practice was per-
feet but horsemen continually got in
the way and interfered seriously
with the military movements. The
twenty youths were supplied with
Roman candles which they fired as
they marched. Altogether the spec
tacle was a brilliant one. James G.
Trimble commanded the corps.
The Hon. Perry Wood of Rails
county and Thomas Dunn of Lin-
coin county spoke at the Court
House after the parade was over.

Who Died Oct. 90, 1892.

God has taken our darling Eunice away,
He thought it best to do so;
She has gone with him to heaven to stay.
Shall we call her back oh, no.
To Us she was far more dear than life,
No other could fill her place;
But suffering. trials, temptation and strift
On her wouli have left their trace.
For sixteen months she frightened our home,
As the sunshine brightens the sky;
But nov our thoughts are left to roam
On things Of her wherever lie
She has gon to that better land above,
Where none but angels dwell;
We shall meet again by God $ ceaseless hove

MEXICO FAIR ASSOCIATION.
Meeting OF the Board OF Directors and
Election of Officers.

The stockholders of the Mexico
Fair Association met in the Court
House Saturday and elected the
following directors: w. J. Bolts,
C. F. Clark, G. S. Maddox, R. T.
Freeman, Green Clay, Ed Kendall,
VIM. Pollock, C. w. Lewis and J.

his resignation but it was not &C.
cepted. The directors then proceed
ed to elect the following officers !:
President, W. J. Bolts; Vice Pres
ident, c. w. Lewis; Secretary, j.
A. Glandon; Treasurer, c. F. Clark.
The affairs of the association were
discussed at some length and a
rough estimate was placed upon the
indebtedness of the Association
amounting to about. $24, 900. The
property of the Association is con-
sidered to be worth at least $40, 1000,
but of course would not bring
that amount if sold under the
hammer. A committee was ap-
pointed on ways and means to ar
range some plan to put the associa-
ton upon its feet, to meet at the
Secretary's Office Friday night, Nov.
II. This committee is composed
of r. 7. Freeman, S. E. Kendall,
J. A. Glandon, r. M. White and E.
d. Graham. Some of the stock
holders are in favor of not having a
fair next year while others are OPP
posed to this proposition and want
to arrange matters so that we can
have even a better fair next year
than we have ever had. We sincere
ly trust that the matter will be SO
arranged that the Mexico fair will be
one of our permanent and pros
porous institutions.

The Buying Of Votes.
FROM Tho Tbiaapn Now,

Unfortunately there is no cause
to doubt the truth of the charges
made by representatives of both po-
litical parties in New York to the
effect that their opponents are pre-
pairing to buy votes at next Tues
days election. Probably the stor-
les of attempted frauds on the bal
lot-box are exaggerated in many
instances. But that enormous
sums of money are to be used to
corrupt voters is morally certain.
Stop a moment and think what
this means.
The people are the nation. They
are their own rulers. Can purer
Government come by fraud? Yet
men who claim to be good citizens,
men who are highly respected by
their neighbors, seek to Justify the
purchase of votes by their party be-
cause they know the other party
will resort to such despicable meas
ures to carry the election. If such
men would cease to countenance
this outrageous wrong the bribing
OF voters would soon be brought to
an end. They are the very men
who while deploring the evil still
make possible its perpetuation.

A REPUBLICAN, SUGGESTION
But IL Was Fearfully Botched by the
Democratic Legislature.


Democratic Legislature.
The Democrats have made great
parade of the fact that the last legis-
lature passed an act requiring every
corporation to pay tax Of one-half Of
one mill on each dollar of its capital
stock, when articles of association are
fled in the secretary of states office.
They take unto themselves all the
credit of 1t and expatiate at great
length upon the large sums of money
that will flow into the treasury from
the tax. But they utterly ignore the
fact that the law is Republican con-
ception. Gov. Luce in his retiring
message to the Legislature pointed out
this legitimate subject of taxation.
He said:
Articles OF Incorporation are daily fled
with our Secretary Of State The labor
cares and responsibility are performed
without expense to the corporation Many
Of the states collect a fee or impose tax
at the time interpretations are formed.
Quite large sums are In this way collected
that operate to some extent as relief to
other property.
This recommendation was the origin
of the law. But the "squawbucks"
made botch of the job. The law
applies only to corporations of this
state, while there is nothing to prevent
the organization of foreign corpora
tions for doing business here. The law
can be evaded by incorporation under
the law of some other state that does
not require tax. Thus the act Is in
reality but discrimination against our
own incorporators.

The Democrats took unto themselves
much virtue for not attempting to seat
Senators Wisner and Bastone in spite

against them. For once law was
too much for Democratic scheme.
