PARIS, March 8.-W hen. sometime since,
the sous-Lieut. Louis Anastsy brutally
murdered his benefactress, old Mime. Del
lard, at her residence on the Boulevard du
Temple, Paris was for the nonce in high
feather at finding itself in possession Of a
morsel of crime brimtul of thrills. shivers
and horrors
The incident has, however, lost its strong
original and sinister flavor; while the vile
and cowardly assassin, who masQueraded in
the uniform Of an honorable service, is en-
route for that bourne where lovely mus
taches cease from troubling, and the con-
quest Of DANES de la halle Is a thing at rest.
The city is nevertheless, not altogether
bereft of matter whereupon to expend its
maudlin sympathy or crafty its cynical
curiosity; nor is it likely to be, so long as
English hospitality throws the mantle Of its
charity around about NJ. Henri Rochefort,
erstwhile utionist-in-ordinary, and
present proprietor of L'IntrGnSigednt.
The perennial Henri is a persistent play
goer, aud to his constant and somewhat
promiscuous attendance at London the
aters is attributed much of that spleen
the emulation of which has Of late made
life WEAKNESS for many distinguished
Frenchmen.
Within the narrow compass of a few
hours, by suggesting an Interpolation in
the Chamber Of Deputies, Nd. Rochefort, in
London, indirectly caused NJ. Constans,

H MEXICO FAIR.
A Committee on Ways and Means
Suggests a Plan for its Success
The old Stock to be Surrender
ed and Debts Paid and a
New Organization
Formed.

The Committee on Ways and
Means for the Mexico fair COM
posed of j. A. Glandon, E. D.
Graham, G. L. Ferris, George Rob-
ertson and r. M. White, met at the
Office of Secretary J. A. Glandon
Saturday night to devise some plan
by which the debts of the Mexico
Fair Association could be paid and
the Association be put upon its feet
again. The citizens of Mexico and
Audrain county are all interested in
this matter and we are sure will as
sist literally. The committee is
not through with its work yet but is
now formulating a plan which looks
feasible to us. The debts of the AS
ISOLATION amount to about 500 900
The property cost in the neighbor-
hood of $35 900, although it would
not bring near that amount under
the hammer. If all the old stock
holders in the Association will sur
render their stock and burn it and
then form a new Association buying
the grounds and paying the debts,
the reputation of Mexico will be
saved and we will have successful
fairs in the future. Everything
worked againgt the Association this
year but the future is bright. We
apprehend there should be no trou-
BILE in recognizing the Association.
We feel sure that the old stock
holders will be willing to burn their
stock and subscribe for stock in the
now Association. The debts then
can be paid and the new Associa-
ton start in with property worth a
good deal more than they pay for it,
and with new blood, which should
come from all parts of the state
especially from all parts of the coun-
ty, success is assured. There should
be no trouble in forming a stock
company with even $24, 900 capital.
This stock should be taken by bus
mess men and farmers and stock
men throughout the State. The old
stock holders we are sure will be
willing to donate their stock and
to assist in recognizing. The
committee is at work on this plan
and will have it in shape to pre-
sent to the public very shortly.
Our people are vitality interested in
this matter and we trust when a
public meeting is called that the at
tendance will show that the people
in this part of Missouri appreciate a
good thing when they see it.

Centralia's Ratification.

On Tuesday night Centralia had
one of the biggest ratification meet
ings held in Missouri. There were
three or four brass bands and at
least 1900 people in line and the
town was brilliantly illuminated.
Mexico's Flambeau club under the
command of J. G. Trimble gave an
exhibition worth seeing and was
highly appreciated especially by the
University students. The orators
were Hon. G. E. Peers, of Warren

talk at a ratification meeting. Cen.
