MEXICO WINS.
The closing Game of Base Ball BE-
tween Mexico and Fulton Easily
Won by The Mexico
Browns.

The Mexico Browns and Fulton
Stars on Monday afternoon at Aux
vase played the last game of base
ball for the season, which was won
by Mexico, the score being 6 to 5.
Only eight innings We're played.
The game was played for the cham
pionship and the gate receipts. The
gate receipts amounted to STA. The
umpires were Bob Lawder and DIR.
Landon Rodes, both giving eminent
satisfaction to Fulton as we'll as
Mexico. Mexico out played Fulton
at every point and but tor 9 lucky
hit on the part of the Fulton Stars
the score would have stood six to
one instead Of six to five.
On account of darkness the game
was called at the end of the Sth in
ming. The game collld have been
played out except for the pitcher of
the Fulton nine, who delayed the
game as much as possible. The de-
lay caused by the Fulton pitcher and
for the reason that Fulton did not
have but two balls caused the game
to be prolonged. 1t was Fulton's
place to furnish the balls for the.
game and a good deal of time was
spent in hunting lost balls. One of
the rules of the game is that any
time after the fifth inning on account
of rain, darkness or from any other
cause the game can be CALLED by the
umpire and Is decided in favor of
the nine which has theimost runs at
the end of the previous even inning.
At the end of the eighth inning it
was absolutely too dark to play and
both umpires agreed in calling the
game. Some of the Fulton players,
as well as some OF the Fulton look
ers on, who understand the game,
were satisfied with the decision while
others VINO were born kickers made
serious objections claiming that they
would not give up the gate receipts
nor the bets made. We are informed
that the manager of the Fulton nine
telegraphed to Mexico Monday night
demanding one half the gate receipts.
OF course no attention was paid to
this demand. The game was fair
and honestly won by Mexico and so
decided by the umpires who were
chosen and agreed upon by the Full
ton nine. Fulton car get satisfaction
any time it wants it and can have a
ten, twenty or thirty inning game on
demand. The larger the game the
more they will be beaten.

MRS. LEASE BUOpLING.
An Affidavit Made That She Tried 10
Bake un Officer Steal.

Topeka, KAN, October 13.-
Nearly every one of the Populist
State officers is alleged to have been
directly connected with boodling
within the last few weeks, and now
it is Mrs. Leases turn. To-day an
affidavit a made public, sworn to
by Mr.. and Mrs. T. A. Dixon, for
merly steward and matron respec.
lively at the State Deaf and Dumb
Asylum. Mr.. and Mrs. Dixon Sc.
cured their appointments through
Mrs. Lease. The affidavit states
that shortly after they were INSTALL
ed Mrs. Lease called on Mr.. and
Mrs. Dixon and said: "Now,
Judge, you have got a chance to
make money; now pay yourself
from the income of the institution
and charge it to maintenance and
repairs of the institution. All you
will have to do will be to make
your books agree with the amount
you take" The affidavit continues:
MY answer was, l cannot do that;
| never had that kind Of a record"
She remarked again: "You let
about 10000 go by you when you
were police Judge of Wichita, now
you take care of yourself; don't be
foolish. They are all doing it, from
the Governor down, and it is no
worse for you than for the Others"
"The next time she approached
me about taking money belonging to
the State, she stepped over by her.
self, got off the train in the evening;
after supper she came into our room;
after talking a short time she again
came to the money question, that
is called knocking down money
that is not your own. She looked
at me very earnestly, telling me to
take enough money to buy me a
farm, but not to omit enough to buy
her a farm. | then repeated my
former answer, that l could not do
that; she then used a part of her
former statement that they were all
boodling.
"Then she went into a statement
as to what the Board OF Charities
had done after they had concluded
their work over the State. All of
them wanted to go to Chicago to the
Worlds Fair and did not want to
use their own money. They decided
that it would take $50 apiece to
take the round trip and board them.
She said they ordered the steward to
make up a voucher for maintenance
and repairs, and the board allowed
it, drew the money. and went to the
fair. This, she said, was done at the
insane asylum. Topeka. She affirm
ed that | could do the same way in
this case, all of which we notified
the Governor of in due time, he ig-
noring our statement"

HOW TO FEED CORN FODDER.
Cause OF Death Among Horses This
Year-use Preventive Measures.

To the Editor of the Ledger.
COLUMBIA, Mo-, Oct. 15.-Dear
Sir: Your letter of October Sth
reached this office during my alb
seuce from home and | take this
earliest opportunity 10 reply.
1t is a fact that the eating of corn
fodder this year will cause a great
deal of sickness and is causing some
among the horses of the state. In
the way of treatment preventive
measures are far superior to any
medicinal remedies and in this con-
nection will say that ii farmers end
stock raisers, when gathering the
corn from the field, would simply
place muzzles ON their horses and
mules they would seldom, if ever,
suffer any loss. Again, if they feed
this fodder to their stock, mix with
it plenty of other food, such as grain
Of different kinds, always being care
ful to water the animals before feed
ing them, and allowing them only a
sufficient quantity. Medicinal rem
edies are frequently of little avail in
these cases as death is due to a for.
nation of gas causedfrom fermenta-
ton of food in the stomach and
death from rupture of the same. 1t
is scarcely Lossibly to give you, or
attempt to give you, any remedies,
as each individual must be treated
separately and according to its own
temperament and peculiarities. If,
however, preventive measures are
well attended by the parties having
the stock in charge but little loss
need occur. This is the same
trouble that we had in the fall and
winter of 1SS7-'S, and is due as
above stated to the method and man.
ner of feeding.
If this is not satisfactory please
let me know and l will give you any
further information possible.
Yours truly,
I. ]. TURNER,
State Veterinarian.

A REAL N GAME.
The Stars Badly Euchred-One
Thousand People Witness
the Game at Auxvasse.
From the Fulton Sun.


Without a doubt one of the largest
crowds that ever witnessed a game
of base ball in Galloway County was
at Auxvasse Monday evening to see
the great game between Fulton and
Mexico.
The game was one of the most
exciting ever played in Galloway
County, and people for miles around
witnessed it.
On the 9TH of October our boys
were fairly and %squarely defeated by
the Browns. We had no kick COM
ing on that game. But the question
of umpire should have been arranged
before the mines were on the ground
yesterday. Both the clubs were on
the ground at four O'Clock and after
much wrangling the umpires said
play ball.
Both umpires were selected from
Mexico. Ian. Rodes and Robert
Lawder umpired the game.
Base ball has been the all abb
sorbing topic for several days past.
So wild and enthusiastic were the
people over the anticipated game
that early in the morning convey
ances began leaving for the field of
action.
All went veil until the eighth in.
| ming, and the score was q to 5 in
favor of Mexico, when the Browns
called the game on account of dark
ness. When, in fact, it was light
enough to have finished the nine
innings. But with both umpires
from Mexico, the Browns held of
the game. Even after our paen were
in the field, and the catcher ready to
play ball, the Browns persisted in
the baby act, so that the game was
really broken up without a decision,
Mexico carrying of the gate receipts,
amounting to about 800. Mexico
maintained her usual "Tep." for
shortness.
The score by innings to the ninth
was as follows:
