The Ladies' Relief Corps had Val
entine social on Wednesday, at their
coy and nicely furnished lodge room.
As is usual at all their entertain
ments, delightful social time was
experienced and everybody enjoyed
themselves. The ladies are shrewd
financiers and derived quite sum
from n side show that caused great
deal of amusement. 1t seems that
they have arrived at that stage of
growth when a goat is necessary to
the proper and successful carrying
out of certain mysterious rites of
their order, at least so we are in
formed, and the ladies had the afore-
said animal on exhibition for the
small sum of five cents. He was in
a rather hilarious mood but they
hope by proper care and attention,
and sufficient amount of tin cans
for diet to reduce him to more con-
tented state of mind. However, lay
ing all jokes aside, it was good
time, and when you want to enjoy
yourself attend one of the Relief
Corps socials.

Don't be IL PeSsimist,

From the Linneus tMo.) Bulletin.
The Mexico LEDGER tells the
truth when it says: Don't be a
pessimist. There is no money in it,
and it makes you and your associ-
ates feel mean"
Pessimism, the belittling of
things, the continual expectation OF
failure, the prediction OF disaster
these have bad influence on our
lives assurely as mind controls mat
ter.
We verify believe that cheerful
ness will save ahusiness from ruin,
that a sunny hope will cure disease,
that expectation of the best condi-
tions will prevent disaster to a whole
nation, that agreeableness will heal
disputes between neighbors ,and that
war, jealousy, chickering's and strife
might all be driven from this talr
earth by disposition on the part of
the people to expect and demand
the best that nature has in store for
them. Poverty can be put to flight
by optimism, and looking on the
bright side (there is always one to
look upon) will not only break the
biggest financial panics, but will
prevent any more from coming.
Fill yourself full of confidence 10
the goodness of the Creator and His
provisions for you, and you won't
be able to absorb enough pessimism
to make you complain about the
dry season.
This is not preaching. Its simply
a homely statement of commonplace
facts.

aSHBKOOK GIVES HIMSELF UP.
The Manager Of the MOberlY Fair Who
Failed to Lfquidate.

SEDALIA, Mo-, Aug. 29.-Last
night A. E. Ashbrook of Kansas
City gave himself up to the Chief OF
Police as the result of a telegram
from Moberly, Mo-, asking for Ash
brook arrest. He was manager Of
the late fair at that place and his
failure to liquidate a number of
debts is the cause of the trouble.
Ashbrook bears an excellent reputa-
ton among horsemen of the state
and is much embarrassed over the
predicament. He says that he had
no intention of leaving any creditors
in the lurch and left Moberly with
the understanding that Secretary
Tedford would use the days re-
ceipts to pay the debts. He is held
awaiting instructions from MoberIy.

Thieves broke into Lee Craddock' s
house Thursday afternoon on East
Promenade street while the family
were at the fair grounds and pro-
cured several valuable articles. They
stole a suit of clothes, pair of pat
ent leather shoes,a gold bracelet and
a diamond pin. The pin is in the
shape of an S, studded with two dia'
monds, the middle one having been
lost. The thieves left many other
valuable articles such as silverware
and jewelry and two suits Of clothes
much better than the one they stole.
They must have forced an entrance
by window for the doors were we'll
locked. 1t is well to guard against
such unwelcome intruders and lock
doors and windows against them,

MISS MARY DESia BITTER.
Sisier-in-iaw Writes n
Scathing Letter.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, Aug. 29.-An
open letter has been addressed by
Miss Mary Desha, sister of Colonel
Breckinridge's first wife, ''to the
men and women Of the Blue Grass
state.'' She denounces Breckenridge
for Offering himself as a candidate
for Congress and calls upon the dis
trict to elect pure man to his seat.
She continues:
That Colonel Breckinridge will be
returned to Congress has never for a
moment entered my mind. The
very thought of it is an insult to the
state, whose boast has been that her
men were brave and her women vir-
tuous. By endorsing ColonelBreck-
inridge you would accert his and
Colonel Thompson's platform that
all men are libertines. If all the
men in the state are libertines the
women cannot be pure, and your
vote for him would be an announce,
ment to the world of the unchastity
of your women.
| am not troubled about his re-
election. If politicians succeed in
renominating him or some other i'm.
moral man, the reputable portion
of the community will unite on
man, regardless of politics, who can
lift the soiled banner of the Ashland
district, cleanse its stains by pure
life and bear it with such honor
that we who live in Washington and
have been deeply humiliated may
again be able to say with uplitted
hands, awe are Kentuckians."
The plain truth is that of all the
immoral delegations in Congress
that of Kentucky has borne the rep
utation of being the worst. With
the Taulbee and Breckenridge scan
dals and the low obscenity of
Thompson you won't wonder at it.
See to it, if you must have allitera'
ton on your banner, that instead of
"Breckinridge and brains" you
have name that will go we'll with
morality.

"C0ME BACK TO MAMMA
Mother For Her Hayward Girl
to Return Home.
From the ST. Louis Chronicle.

| fApAiA tHe Si' LVus AutunicIe-
Rosa Pearl Harris, who tried to
kill herself in Mexico, continues TO
puzzle DIR. Heine Marks at the City
Hospital. She has alternate fits of
despondency and elevation ofspirits;
says one minute that she wants to
die a horrible death and the next
plans air castles for the future, and,
in fact, carries on very strangely.
She was completely recovered
| from the poison she took with suici-
dial intent, and is as well as she ever
twas.
Thursday morning DR.. Marks re-
ceived a letter from the girls moth.
er, Mrs. B. F. Harris, of Lebanon,
Mo. 1t is touching, pitiful mis-
sive. There is sob liz every word.
She wants her daughter back, but is
too poor to send for her. Why her
child left home she does not know.
On the night of June II, Mrs.
Harris says, Pearl disappeared. 1t
is believed that some man stole her.
For over two weeks the frantic
father and mother heard not word
of their little daughter, though they
secured the country for even a trace
OF her whereabouts. After the lapse
of two weeks they got letter from
Pearl, postmarked Jefferson City,
Mo. The girl said she was at work
and limited darkly at her own dark
crimes.
She was importuned to return
home. but she refused, and subse-
quently drifted to st. Louis. Mrs.
Harris says she believes her daugh.
ter was led astray and ruined.
The story that Pearl told of mis-
treatment at home is untrue, Mrs.
Harris says, and the girl has always
heretofore led a christian life.
''She is breaking our hearts and
running our reputation as well as
her own," writes Mrs. Harris in
conclusion.
Mrs. Harris enclosed in the let
ter TO DR.. Marks q note to Pearl.
This sad little missive is as follows:
''Pearlie, dear child, come back
to mamma. Sheis your best friend.
We will forgive you. Don't for our
sakes, don't kill yourself. 1t would
kill your papa and me too. God
will forgive you. He says so and
His word is true. Will you not
try to think so? Tell the doctors to
bring you home. am nearly crazy.
Everybody wants you to come
home" Your MAMMA.
Pearl denies that she was led
from the path of virtue by anyone
and asserts that no man had hand
in her leaving home.
DR.. Marks is of the same belief as
poor Mrs. Harris.
Pearl is only II, according TO her
mothers letter, but would easily
pass for II.

Z months and II days old.
Gods in these things are very
mysterious very often, but we have
the assurance of the bible that "He
is too wise to make mistakes and
too good to do wrong;" hence what
ever He does is best for all parties
concerned, and while we cannot
now know the what and why Of
these things we shall know here
after.
God gave this little flowers into
Brother and Sister Betz's hands
long enough for them to get attach
ed to it and give it a few touches of
their influence and give them a
few breaths of its sweet perfume,
and then transplanted it into the
paradise above, where He might
give it His own immediate personal
attention and training under envir-
onments which in themselves are
perfectly adapted to its demands.
Weep not, dear parents; this little
one has gone before and will be
waiting for mamma and papa to
follow on.

Elder Against Evangelist.
THE f:RECkINRIDGE CAMPAIGN
TAKES STILL ANOTHER
TURN.
barnes, the Defender OF the Congress
man. Exposed by II Christian
Church Minister In the
SlIarpest Terms.

on theological subjects in the Bible
! College of Kentucky university, and
leader of the Christian church in
the South, has again taken up the
cudgel against W. C.. p. Breckin-
ridge, using Evangelist Barnes
Sunday Sermon in his behalf last
night as his text In an open letter
the elder denounces Barnes as re :
liglous mountebank, who has wan =
dered from one church to another
during his remarkably checkered
career in and out of the pulpit. He
holds up Barnes as man who has
at various times professed to have
sanctltication, the power to heal by
anointment and the power to absolve
the sins OF those confessing to him,
and declares that Barnes then pre-
tended that the Lord watched over
him, even to the extent of keeping
his organ in tune while it was being
Jolted over mountain roads from one
meeting to another, and as an evi-
dence of his faith he threw away his
spectacles and trusted to the Lord
to see without them.
Mr.. McGarvey said: "This ex-
pertinent did not last long. He pro.
claimed that he then had faith
enough to heal the sick, and that he
would soon have power enough to
raise the dead. After some years of
a very noted career in Kentucky he
went to India and while there he
had a revelation from the Lord to
the effect that the English people
are the twelve lost tribes of Israel,
and that Queen Victoria is the head
of the true church. He immediate
ly obtained membership in the
Episcopal church, but that church,
like the Presbyterian, refused to in
dorse his heresies by putting him
into the ministry.''
Elder McGarvey follows MIR.
Barnes in his strange career after re-
turning from India. For years he
exercised remarkable influence in
Kentucky, but his glory departed
and he could no longer obtain and
hold the vast audiences that once
assembled to hear him. Several
years ago he left here to make his
home on 4 small island off the coast
of Florida.
The caustic letter concludes with
a discussion of Biblical parallels up
on which Evangelist Barnes and
others have attempted to excuse
Colonel Breckinridge's shortcom-
ings. The closing paragraph is as
follows: "Let it be known once and
forever that there is nothing inGod's
holy book to extenuate the awful
crimes proven against Breckinridge
and nothing to furnish an excuse to
good people for seeking to re- elect
him."
DUEL OVER BRECKENRIDGE.
LEXINGTON, Ky, Aug. 3O.-In
Clark county yesterday, John King,
Breckenridge man of Fayette coun-
ty, met on the highway his old
friend, George Cook of Clark county.
Cook said any woman that went
to hear Breckinridge speak was no
better than courtesan. King dis
mounted from his horse, saying that
his wife and daughters had heard
Breckinridge. Cook insisted that it
was n shame and also dismounted.
Both drew knives and blood flow
ed freely until Cook dropped dead.
