MEXICO FAIR ASSOCIATION.
The Directors Approve of the Plan
Suggested by the Committee
on Ways and Means.

The directors of the Mexico Fair
Association met at Secretary CLAN
don's office last Saturday and APP
proved of the plan suggested by the
committee on ways and means as
reported in this paper a week or SO
since. The directors called a meet
ing of the stockholders to take place
in Mexico on Dec. %. All of the
stockholders are invited to be pres
ent on that occasion. The direc-
tors will meet next Saturday and
transact important business. The
committee on ways and means was
composed of E. D. Graham, j. A.
Glandon, r.. T. Freeman, S. E.
Kendall and R. M. White. The COM
mittee was organized with ED. Ora
ham chairman and ia. Glandon as
secretary. The plan proposed by
this committee and adopted by the
directors in brief as follows: That
all the stock holders in the old asso.
citation cancel their stock; that
books be opened for subscriptions
for a new association; that the
members of the new association pay
all the floating debt of the old and
take charge of the property and
conduct the fair in the future. We
have heard of no opposition to this
plan at all. This means new blood
in the association and is the only
hope for the continuance of our fairs.
We are sure there are enough bus
mess men in Audrain county and
Mexico who appreciate the value of
the fair to take all the stock prompt
ly. All of the old members of the
old association will subscribe liber-
ally and we have heard quite a num-
Der of prominent business men who
have never takn an interest in the
fair express a willingness to assist.

WINTER.

Stern King, at thy approach,
The blushing rose grew pale;
The trembling lily bowed her head
Before the frost winged gale.
The brown bees murmur ceased,
The summer warblers fed;
The bright flowers in the garden path,
Lie withered, pale and dead.
Tiny icy fingers have wrought
Upon our window pane,
Semblance of rocks and towers,
And fields of ripening grain.
Haste to thy frozen realm
Beyond the Polar sea;
Call b the piping winds, we love
Not their rude minstrelsy.

Stop at Nothing.

The Kelly and Crimmins Henchmen WIZ
Stop at Nothing.
The Kelly and Crimmins crowd must be
pretty extended limit and 1t seems that
they would not stop at even murder to
carry out their evil designs il the state
ments made by Benjamin Joiner, who was
yesterday afternoon attacked by two of the
most notorious henchmen of that crowd, are
true.
Joiner was, up to a week ago. one OF the
trusted heelers OF the Republican bosses,
but his spirit rebelled at the dirty work he
was asked to do and he left that crowd and
went over to the Democrats.
Joiner was a dangerous enemy to the Re-
publican bosses to be running loose fl Iom
under their thumbs, especially as election
day was close at hand and he was well
acquainted with many OF their most damag-
ing secrets. Overtures had been made TO
him TO get him back into the fold, but he
would not 60 and he must be silenced.
Yesterday afternoon about o'clock
Joiner, with two coin npanioDs, Fred Orndorff
and John Walker, were walking along
Third street, near Folsom, when Dick
Creighton and Fred Coleman jumped on
him from a saloon doorway. Joiner was
struck several times on the head before he
realized what had happened, so sudden was
the assault Coleman was holding Joiner
from behind. while Creighton was in front
with revolver in his hand. BY this time
Joiner bad got hold of bis revolver and CON-
meDced firing at his assailaDts, but no one
was injured. Coleman and Creighton es-
capped, but Joiner was arrested aud placed
In the cells on charge OF assault with q
