John De Witt Miller, the popular
orator, scholar and wit, will lecture at
New Lexington, next Wednesday eve-
ming. He is so well known that eco.
miums from us are not necessary.
The North american Reuiew says: All
those who have heard him once require
no reminder of the pleasure experienced,
for Mr.. Miller is really eloquent. In.
deed, in all that goes to make public
speaker of extraordinary interest and
power, Mr.. Miller is richly endowed.
The Wheeling Register says;
In the lecture of last evening Mr.. Mil.
ler covered wide range of territory,
and his fund of information, particularly
concerning great characters of the land,
is remarkable. He appears to have up
on his tongues end appropriate sayings
OF great men ready for illustration at
any time. He brought out some cold
facts relating to this nation in such
novel and effective way that his hearers
were for awhile pinned to their seats.
But wit was the speakers forte In
this he is excellent. At one time a per-
feet stream of good things filled the air,
and the audience was in continual rip
pies Of laughter. 1t was wit of the ire.
sistable kind, and few could restrain
themselves The lecture, besides Great.
ing much wholesome merriment, un-
earthed many valuable facts. 1t was
treat.
The San Antonio Times says:
TO say that Jahu De Witt Miller cap
tured his audience last night is putting
it tamely. From the first sentence to
the last he seemed to have them com
pletely at his command. The lecture
was replete with anecdote and humor-
GUS word caricature, which, added to
the wonderful facial expression of the
lecturer, aud the charm of an almost
faultless rhetoric, and firm, round
musical voice, made the lecture one
never to be forgotten. There were touch.
es of tenderness and lofty moral appeals
Of great power that moved the audience
deeply.

Lille May Long, daughter Of John A.
Long, jr., was born July the 4th, 1890,
died February 18th, aged three years,
eight months and eight days. Lille had
a sweet, loving disposition. Only babe
of three short summers, yet tiny flower
that had scarcely begun to show signs of
life and beauty, when the fatal hand of
disease and death fastened itself upon
the young life, and after brief struggle
the childish spirit returned to the God
who gave it. All that medical skill and
loving hands could do failed to stay the
grim monster death. Only short life,
yet how much sunshine and gladpess
there was in it! The idol of the house.
hold, the pride of fond parents, the
bright hope and prospects of coming
years-all crushed by the relentless
hand of death.
o, the wisdom of tiny years
Scarce thrice told on the wane of time,
With perfect love that knew no fears,
From parents TO God one step to climb
Lay the damp mold lightly
Upon her form so fair.
In summer time roses
Will bud and blossom there.

S nators Brice and Hill! are heading
an apparent revolt against the Wilson
tariff bill, with its outrage GUS discrim
nations in favor of the South. Penn
sylvania has walked them up, and even
Grover has been scared off his nest.
But, if we don't miss our guess, the
Confederates will, as usual, compel their
nortern allies to wear the collar OF SER
vitude. Hill and Brice will each raise
a tremendous howl, during which they
will quietly wink the other eye and
congratulate themselves, sub rosa, that
they have made themselves all right
with their constituents, and then give
up the fight.
1t isn't long since these Democrats
were lifting their holy hands in horror
and shrieking that protection is robbery
Now each one is fighting like maniac
to have some particular feature OF thii
robbery" inflicted upon his own con
stituents! Strange, isn't it?

VIII Increase Taxes.

To the Editor of the Ledger.
MEXICO, Mo-, May 29.-The ef-
forts of Gov. Stone and the assess
ors have no indications of a wish to
reduce taxes. There will be the
same difficulty in getting a cash
value as there is in finding one-third
or any fraction of a cash value.
The best they promise is that the
legislature will reduce rates: City
taxes will be trebled unless councils
reduce rates, as legislature and
councils collect to the limit of the
law. 1t seems that Gov. Stone will
increase taxes when the country is
least able to pay.
