T, T.. Moore Dead.


T. f. Moore, who has quite a
number of friends in Audrain coun-
ty, brother of J. S. Moore, one OF
our most substantial citizens, died
in Kentucky few days since. The
following extract is taken from the
Lexington (ky.) Morning Trans
cript:
At the house of his father, I. E.
Moore, near Shawhan, KY, Sunday
morning at 6 O'Clock, viii Moore
died after a prolonged illness Of
typhoid fever.
For several years he was a student
of Kentucky University, this city.
Being gifted with a bright mind and
sunny disposition, added 10 all that
makes a noble man, ne was a great
fayorite both in college and social
circles. Four of the pail bearers
were chosen from here, and they,
with other friends, went to Paris
yesterday to the funeral.
His untimely death will be greatly
mourned, and the bereaved family
have the sympathy OF many friends
in this city.

The light sprinkling of bird shot

The light sprinkling of bird shot
which watermelon thieves have been
receiving does not yet accomplish
the desired result. Farmers don't
object SO much to those who take a
melon and eat it as to those who
destroy the vines and rob the patch
es by wholesale. One gentleman
in this county caught watermelon
thieves who had gathered twenty
and were preparing to bring them
to town. This must be stopped.

Champ Clark fred the woods u,

OF grand old Missouri was waver.

the chairman.
"Clark Clark" cried the dele.
gates. In response to the call Hon
Champ Clark came forward. Mr..
Clark began by cutting reference
to the Republican party, which, he
declared, was laughing over the
woes of the people, expecting to
create their political fortunes out OF
the ruins which they had made.
"When the last session of Con
gress began" d" said Mr.. Clark, 'Tom
Reed was going about to the tune of
'The Dead March in Saul Now
he is capering in an elephantine
sort of way to the music of his own
Presidential March. Why all this
merriment? Why these sounds of
cymbals in the camp of the Philis-
tines? Why this furnishing up of
rusty Presidential booms?. Because
of the treason Of half a dozen DEM
OcratiC Senators. If these Sena-
tors had done their duty, Tom Reed

his anticipated Presidential salary
80 per cent. The Republicans want
to get back in power. They are
hungry. DIR. Tanner, at the end of
his forty days past, had no such
appetite as have these Republicans.
HOW THE MONEY WENT.
"What is their reason? They say
1T is to save the country They
saved the country for thirty years.
The truth Is that when the Demo-
Gratis got back the Treasury was
empty and Calico Charlie Foster
had plates made to print bonds
with. Yet they held up their hands
in holy horror at the idea of the
Democratic administration sane
tionIng the issue of bonds.
Lets see how the case stands.
On March 4, 1894, Cleveland turned
over to the Republicans 800, ,000,'
900 surplus above the gold reserve.
When Harrison got through the
Treasury was as empty as Il last
years birds nest.
"When Cleveland went out of
office he left the government with
an income of Sc, ,000,0 or s. ,000,-
900 a month. Under the Mckinley
law the income has been Sc, 900, 900
or 81 900, 900 less than the outgo,
and yet they have the unspeakable
gall and impudence to say that the
Democrats did it.
"When on a celebrated occasion, -
Mr.. Clark continued, 'Sir John
Falstaff exclaimed to Prince Hal,
lord, Lord, how this world is CIV
en- to lying!' he was with prophetic
ken describing the capers of the
Republicans for the last eighteen
months. Their achievements in
that line are so amazing in quantity
and various in quality as to be alb.
solutely bewildering.
THE BULLS OF BAsHAN.
"Louder than all the bulls of

"Let Us Then be Up and Doing"

To the Editor of the Ledger.
MEXICO, Mo-, Aug. pa noticed
in your paper an article under the
caption of, "Ask and it Shall be
Given Unto You," in which "Faith"
undertakes to question the right of
and.to disparage the attempt of the
rainmaker.
Now, We shall not attempt to de-
ny but, on the contrary, affirm,
and believe with Faith" that the
rain which came finally was sent by
the Lord. But, my dear sir, we are
compelled to disagree with you
when you say that an attempt to
make rain is an endeavor TO thwart
Gods plans. For instance, you are
dwelling in our city you have a
beautiful lawn-grass, flowers and
trees. Now when drouth sets in, the
grass begins to wither, the flowers
to die, the trees to cast their un-
timely leaves. If you have on your
lawn a water'pipe, bose, etc.
means by which you may revivify
the beauty of your home-do you
not consider it a privilege and a
blessing to have within your power
these artificial means to assist ma.
ture's inadequate supply? An
other: you are aware that by means
Of aqueducts tracts that perhaps
had been deserts of arid sand "be,
came green with foliage and gay
with blossoms. Such attempts
you of course do not assume to say
is an effort to thwart Gods plans.
However, God does not see proper
to send rain ON that lawn and on
that desert, yet, he allows much
good to come therefrom after man
has done tha: which "Faith" call
an attempt to thwart Gods plans.
Now, as the ocean is the great
reservoir from which all our mois-
ture comes, and to which ii all re-
turns, and as it matters not whether
the supply comes from the natural
clouds or the aqueduct, and as it is
right and proper to use the artificial
aqueduct, why then object TO the
artificial use OF the atmosphere?
1t seems to me that the two are
parallel cases. God, in his infinite
wisdom, does not always give the
end but the means by which the
end may be attained.
| predict that the time will come
whena shower may be had in days
time, and | hope you may at an
early date disabuse your mind of
the errorsI under which it is at pres
ent laboring. However, you are ex-
cusable for your attack, on the
grounds that throughout history,
whenever any great enterprise was
first tried, the authors were inyaria-
bly, ridiculed. "WogKs.

Letter from John N. Menefee

Letter from John N. Menefee.
To Mr.. Edward Roth. Mexico. Mo.
Los ANGELES, CAL, August IT,
FRIEND Roth: Your letter of in
quiry at hand a few days ago, and
| so seldom write a letter of this
kind that I hardly know what to
say. Now, as to California and Los
Angeles speak of Southern Cali
fornia-the half of the pleasure of
living in this country has never yet
been told; and if you cannot make
a living in Los Angeles, and l think
you can, you can 60 out in the
country and buy you piece of
land, las [ have done, and grow you
a fine orchard in two years and
raise everything that grows in any
country; in fact, everything seems
to do well. l planted a little over
year ago at my ranch some peach
trees and | have some peaches as
large as coffee cup. | planted 10
hills of watermelons. The ground
had not been broken for a year and
a half. | never spent in all one
half hour working them, and have
melons enough for several families.
They will almost average two feet
long, and everything grows about
the same way. If you could see
my ranch that was in the brush one
year and half ago you would think
it had been planted four years.
| only mention the above to show
you what we can do. Poultry does
we'll and everything we eat is raised
here, SO it makes our living cheap.
You can live in this city as cheap
as in Mexico, Mo. Everything
seems to me to be doing we'll.
The city now has residence pop.
ulation of about $4,000 and all kinds
of buildings are going up every
where. One can in such lovely
climate the year around afford to
live here, even if he dies a little
poorer. 1t is about noon and all of
our windows are down and it is just
cool enough.
You can rent a house reasonable.
You must not put too much stress
in what l say, but it is true all the
same. | do not expect times are as
dull here as in Missouri, but | am
sure one has to rustic here to make
money. This is the first letter of
this kind have written. | am not
agent tor anything here but I love
this climate and can have fresh fruit
and vegetables most every day in the
year. | spend about one'half my
time out at my ranch and the bal
ance here in Los Angeles. Charley
stays most of the time in the coun.
try.
| was sorry indeed to hear of the
death OF my friend, B. F. Dobyns.
Respectfully,
J. M. MENEFEE.
