AFTER.
the rainy day,

,aer the rainy day,
After the stormy weather
,reoks the gold in the gray
Cold and silver together
p,ntters and falls the splendor'
Turns to scarlet and rose;
clear in a sky that is tender
A crescent moon grows
After the rainy day.
The passion and sobbing are over
Dim in distance away
seems my love and my lover,
r,o cold of the evening is round me,
Night comes with the wings OF a dove
THE peace of the evening has bound me,
Far sweeter than love.

The Windsor Hotel Thoroughly Rem.
Ovated, Reprinted and Repapered
Throughout by Maj. IL. A.

Maj H. "A. Ricketts,, cashier of
the Mexico Southern Bank, of this
city, is in thorough accord with the
improvements being made in Mex
leo. Only a few weeks since be pur-
chased Life Norris half |rest in
the Windsor Hotel and has had the
building thoroughly renovated, re-
painted, repapered and in many
other ways improved. The work
was thorough from top to bottom
and the hotel is now as good as new.
H. c. Eagon, the proprietor of this
popular hotel, superintendent the
improvements throughout and saw
that everything was done in a first
class manner. All modern improve
ments which go to make a good
hotel comfortable have been put in,
viz. electric bells, hot and cold
water, electric lights and other con.
veniences necessary to make such
an establishment first class. Mexico
has a splendid reputation as a hotel
town and Mr.. H. A. Ricketts, and

The Kelley Cure as a Penalty.

The city of Lemars, Ia, has
shown its faith in the bichloride
treatment for drunkenness by in
Guiding it with the penalties for
public drunkenness. Amy person
convicted the second time of drunk
enness on the public streets is to be
| given his choice between working
on the street for ten days with a ball
and chain and a course of treatment
with the Kelley cure. This ordi-
nance has already gone into effect,
and there has been one case under
it, the accused selecting the cure in
the place of the ball and chain and
compulsory improvement of the
Lemars highways.
This is an innovation which ought
to become very popular. There is
grave doubt, of course, whether So
ciety has the right to deprive a man
against his will of his appetite for
ardent spirits. The people of Lee
mars have very wisely refrained from
doing that, and from raising the
question which treatment
of drunkards in that fashion would
raise. Instead thereof they give the
drunkard his choice. If he regards
his thirst as al inestimable boon,
which be will on no account sacrifice,
he can retain it at the cost of a few
days labor on the thoroughfares Of
the town with certain impediments
which the law provides against too
rapid work. But if, on the other
hand, if he is willing to part with
his friendship for John Barleycorn,
the public will take it away without
charge. There is a bit of tender
and thoughtful consideration in this
for the bibulous person which is
worthy of all commentator.

Dancing Not 4 Crime
AND BEING ACCUSED OF 1T NOT
A LIBEL.
Judge Ellis0n's Decision In the Fa-
meus Libel Case at Macon, Mo.
The Plaintiffs Take a Non.
suit and May Sue Again.

MACON, Mo-, April 21.-At S:45
this morning the case of the academy
against the Macon preachers for libel
was called and a jury secured. AT 10
O'Clock Judge c. P. Hess opened for
the plaintiff. He was followed by
Hon. B.R. Dysart for the defendants.
Atthis time the court room was pack
ed with an immense crowd. Colonel
F.W. Blees was called to the stand by
Judge Hess and the formal question
put: care you the manager of the
school of the PLAINTIFF" The question
was answered in the affirmative, and
MIR. Dysart then objected to the intro
duction of any evidence under the Pc
tition because it did not state facts
sufficient to constitute a cause of ac-
ton. Both sides we're heard at
length on this point. Defendants
claimed if the statements in the
resolution cited were true there
could be no libel. Mr.. Hess argued
that the intent and purpose of the
resolutions were malicious, and he
could produce plenty of evidence to
show the great hatred and i'll will
toward the academy by the defend
ants. The argument lasted until
| noon.
AT the reassembling of court at
1 80 about 200 lady witnesses and
spectators were present inside the
bar and about 500 of the sternel
sex. The ministers occupied a
table by their attorneys and laughed
jovially in discussing the affair
Which they treated as a big joke,
when Judge Ellison assembled the
bench all whispers and talk ceased,
while every eye in the house was
fixed steadily upon him. Referring
occasionally to some notes in his
hands he slowly and impressively
delivered his opinion in the case.
and in conclusion announced thai
he would sustain the objection tc
the evidence. The opinion was
briefly to the effect that the law does
not recognize dancing Or the teach
ing of dancing as immoral or illegal
and consequently the charging of {
person with dancing or the teaching
of 1t could in no way be construed
as a SANDER or a libel. The plain.
tiff took a non-suit and the case viii
probably come up again.
