Political Meat.
From the st. Louis Republic.

Just by way of amicable answer
to the eastern comment upon Champ
Clark's speech, it is proper to say
that there was more political meat
in the brief compass of the address
than Tammany has had at one time
since big men like Mike Marcy and
the elder B. F. Butler used to talk in
New York.

C. C. Wilburn Arrested.
1T Is ALLEGED THAT HE SOLD
MORI6AGED PROPERTY.
Arrested In st. Louis Wednesday and
Brought Here For Trial.. c,
Leake the Complainant
WiiburR Denies the
Accusation.

The Post Dispatch received in
Mexico last Thursday contains the
appended: "Sheriff j. N. Steph-
ems, of Audrain county, Mo-, arriv-
ed at the Four Courts this morning
to take charge Of C. C. Wilburn, a
conductor on a ldarket street car,
who is wanted at Mexico on a
charge of disposing of mortgaged
property. Last fall, it is claimed,
he mortgaged a horse to a Mr..
]. T. Bunton and subsequently
sold it. He was arrested by De-
tective King yesterday"
Sheriff Stephens arrived in Mex
leo Wednesday with Wilburn. He
was seen next morning in Attor-
ney Leb. Crigler's Office. He stout
ly denies the charge.
"Sometime before | left Mexico
early last spring l boarded at the
Leake Hotel, run by l. c. Leake.
I owned a bay horse and mortgaged
it to Constable Bunton. When |
left Mexico | left the animal with
Mr.. Leake, not without Mr.. Bun
toms knowledge, however. Now
Mr.. Leake swears cut a warrant for
me for selling mortgaged property.
He claims he had a lien On the
horse for my board. l claim that
he owes me-"
1t appears that after Wilburn left
Mexico Mr.. Bunton sold the note
secured by the horse to Miss Maggie
Wilburn, sister of the defendant.
She undertook to take the animal,
but Mr.. Leake would not give the
horse up. Leb. Crigler, attorney for
Miss Wilburn, instituted proceed
ings to recover the horse. Edmon-
ston & Cullen represented the de-
fendant, Mr.. Leaks. The case was
tried twice and Miss Wilburn won.
She took the horse and sold him for
$40 or $50.
This led to the arrest of Charley
Wilburn in St. Louis Wednesday.

fore You Buy.

lue people VI M MeAtco oH last
Monday night had an opportunity
to hear one of the famous Mozart
organs. The organ used that night
was the Mozart, manufactured by
Story e. Clark, of Chicago. 1t has
twelve sets OF reeds. The "pipe"
and "cello" stops initiate the pipe
organ to perfection. 1t is very pow
erful but very smooth and is tar su-
perior to any organ ever exhibited
in our city.
The Mexico Machine & Music Co. -,
of this city, managed by Mr.. Up
ham, handles this organ, which is
now very popular with the churches
throughout the entire country, two
being in use in this city. The price
of these organs is very reasonable
and answers every purpose of a much
higher priced instrument. Mr..
Upham keeps thoroughly abreast oi
the times and handles the very latest
music and all kinds of musical in
struments. The people of Mexico,
who desire to purchase musical in
struments or anything in that line,
have-the same advantage that they
would in larger city. Our people
are, year by year, becoming more
and more interested in music and
we are glad of it and Mr.. Upha MS
efforts to accommodate the people
are being appreciated. When de.
string to purchase anything in this
line it is not necessary to send Oh
