question as to whether he would be
a candidate for reelection or not, re-
piled to the LEDGER representative
that he would not. Mr.. Johnson
saws that bis ambition is to finish

satisfactory to the public. MIR.
Johnson has made a most efficient
and faithful officer and will retire
upon his honors at the end of this
term. Mr.. Johnson says that he
feels under obligations to his many
friends in this county who have
been SO clever to him in the past,
many of them even wanting an op-
portunity to support him again, but
he says that he feels like there are
other Democrats qualified and
worthy of the Office who deserve
consideration. AS soon as it is
understood that Mr.. johnson will
not be q candidate for reelection
several candidates viii develop for
this office. There will be at least
three or four candidates from Mex
leo and as many, if not more, from
other portions of the county.

Sixth street and the bridge about 8
O'Clock last night. Kleinsorge was
passing through the city and while
waiting for train took a stroll up
town. He was walking back to the
depot when attacked. 1t was a
lonely, dark spot and KIeinsorge
was taken without warning. He
could not even get a good look at
his assailants, who hit him several
times with some blunt instrument.
He was rendered unconscious and
while in this condition his pockets
were rifled of $19, all the money be
had. He has several contusions
about the face and arms.

given by good people is rich treat
indeed, and such treat is now in

que will hold forth for one night,
Wednesday, Nov. 80. This univer-
sally popular company comes with
many added attractions, new music,
new scenery, new dances, new ward
robe, new everything, in fact, and
its bare announcement of its coming

box office. Take it slow, boys; there

there early, but if you can't conven-
iently get there early then go it
on a rush; but don't miss La Belle

IT is proposed by some of our
leading citizens to erect tabernacle
to be used in case of large meetings.
One gentlemen suggests that when
protracted meetings are held by any
congregation they could be held in
the tabernacle and there would be
room for all the people who desired
to go. One thing is certain, the
churches in Mexico are all too small
for their congregations and some
thing will necessarily have to be
done in the direction proposed.

Mr.. Cleveland's Escape.

Mr.. Grover Cleveland has rur
away, and the politicians who go to
New York to present persuasive
pleas for Office will find not even
his postoffice address, which he has
wisely taken along with him. In
view, however, of the facts that Mr..
Cleveland Is a figure looming large
in the public eye, and that the
Office hunters are endowed with in
domitable perseverance, his escape
would be of little avail had he not
left behind him an admonition OF
grave import. He said:
"Those who, under any pretense,
gain an opportunity to present their
applications orally, and those who
burden me at this time with written
applications, cannot possibly do
anything which would so interfere
with their chance of success"
No amount of secrecy, no strength
of bolts and bars, could be as effect
i've an obstacle to ice-seeking as
this vigorous sentence. 1t means
that Mr.. Cleveland intends to post

LAMARTINE LACKLAND's LOSS.
His Fine Home South OF Mexico Con.
samed by Fire Thanksgiving Night
"A Narrow Escape For
The Children.

The red light that attracted the
attention of several people in Mexico
about II p. m. Thursday was the
pretty home Of Lamartine Lack
land, 4 miles southwest of town, going
up in smoke. 1t was anexceptionally
nice residence and it made large
blaze which could be seen many
miles across the prairie. The fire
originated from a bad flue and had
reached an uncomfortable state when
discovered. 1t seems that Mr.. and
Mrs. Lakeland were sleeping down
stairs and their children in the up
per story. Our informant reports
that the children narrowly escaped
suffocation before they could be res
cued. Nothing but the furniture of
one room was saved and the build
ing is a total ruin. Nearly all the
family's wearing apparel was con-
sumed. There is 5000 insurance
on the building but it is not known
at present if there is any on the
furniture. Lakenan & Barnes hold
the policy on the house, which ex-
pired on the fourth day of this
month, but the agents luckily re-
newed it and consequently Mr..
Lackland's loss will not be over a
ST 900 or $1,000 probably. 1t
is lucky that the flames did not get
a chance to lick up Mr.. Lackland's
barn, which is considered one of
the largest and finest in the State.
Mr.. Lakeland is a son of R. J. Lack
land, of the Boatman Savings Bank,
st. Louis, and his farm south of
Mexico is one of the best in the
county, with valuable improvements.
He will of course rebuild. After
the conflagralion the family went to
the residence OF Abe Larimore, who
lives just west of Mr.. Lackland's
farm.
