SPRING
A Brilliant Young Orator,

FAYETTE, Mo-, April 2.-Never in
the history of Central College has en-
thusiasm over her present and future
prospects been so high as now. The
success of her brilliant young orator,
X. P; Whitley, in the intercollegiate
contest at Sedalia last week, coming
as it did in the midst of the effort to
raise $4,000 in Fayette and How
ard County to enable the curators to
take advantage of the princely gift
of $4,000 by Mr.. George Hoagland
of st. Joseph, thereby creating a fund
of 5000 for Central's new build
ing has greatly augmented the work.
A rousing meeting was held at the
Court House Friday night, Bishop
E. R. Hendrix, of Kansas City, be-
ing present to aid in the work Of rails
ing the fund. He made a powerful
appeal in behalf of the new college
project and was followed by Senator
Sam c. Major in a brilliant effort.
1t is thought that all the money will
be raised in a very short time and
the cornerstone of the new building
laid during commencement week in
June. On the return of Mr.. Whitley
from Sedalia this morning he was
met by a tremendous crowd of adj
mirers and was placed in a carriage
which had been decorated with the
college c%olors, nile green and black,
and hauled through the city by fifty
schoolmates, two abreas

Behind the Times Fifteen Years In

FORT WORTH, Texas, March 80.
If space allows please publish the
following as some of your readers
will be anxious to hear from Texas.
| have been here about two months
and have seen q good deal of the
world | never thought about before.
In regard to agriculture there is no
doubt but they are fifteen years be-
hind Missouri. Flowing with eight
and ten inch plows for two horses,
twelve and fourteen inches with
sulky plows for three horses. Maybe
the soil is SO much harder to work.
The bottom along the river is a
black loamy soil very easy to work.
The upland is as sandy as it can be
because if there comes a sand storm
it will take the peas and soil both
like it did the other day. Therefore
O. good one horse Missourian would
plow straight along all day without
resting unless he had to stop to take
a chew of tobacco. | think it is be-
cause they don't have to hurry like
a Missouri farmer because the
weather is regular here. 1t may cloud
up all around by shutdown and at 10
o'clock in the morning it has all
blown away.
You hardly ever find a living we'll
here that has any water in it and
that is surely not a good sign for
this time of the year. Most of the
artesian wells have windmills. If I
am informed correctly there are
from 240 to $50 in Fit. Worth alone.
There is a windmill on almost every
farm. 1t astonished me at first but
| soon found out that our draught in
Missouri last year was not worth
mentioning compared with what
they have here. They raised a fair
crop of everything but potatoes.
Wheat averaged Is bushels, oats 40
bushels and corn 35 bushels. Cot
ton was the main product and made
three-fourths of a bale to an acre.

MEXICO, Mo-, April 4.-As there
has been very little said about can-
didates for Railroad Commissioner,
| would like to make a plea for one OF
the best Democrats in the state, a
man whose private and public life
has been of the highest character. l
speak of Hon. N. j. Wollard, OF
Dallas. He has battled increasingly
for the Democracy of Southern Mis-
souri,, and bis friends feel that he
deserves somethingfor the good work
he has done. He is an old Confeder-
ate soldier, was sent twice to the
state Legislature, was prominent In
organizing the Farmers Alliance
and stayed with the state ozganiza-
ton until it became a political ma
chine. He is splendidly fitted for
the position and worthy OF the sui
frages of the people of Audrain.
Respectfully,

THE MEXICO INSTITUTE
Meeting With Unprecedented Success
Has Never Failed to Effect
Cure.

This morning a representative of
the LEDGER visited the Mexico In
stitute for the treatment of the liquor,
morphine and tobacco habits and
found that Institution in a flourish
ing condition. DR.. Adams has five
whiskey and morphine cases now on
hand and is shipping his tobacco cure
to all sections Of the United States.
This Institution has met with unpre-
cedented success, having cured forty
cases in the last eighteen months,
and up to date not one of the grad
yates have returned to their former
habits. The DR.. has a complete set
Of rules and any man who will obey
them is guaranteed a cure. The peo-
pie of this city know a great many
persons whose reformation from the
whiskey habit was considered almost
an lmpossibility, but they were COM
pletely cured by taking the treat
ment in the Mexico Institute In
every mail DR.. Adams has orders for
his tobacco cure and receives innum-
cradle testimonials as 10 its efficien-
cy. The LEDGER reporter was shown
a letter from a prominent Kansas
City physician in which he said that
after he had been using tobocco to
excess for twenty years he was COM
pletely cured in three days by the
medicine he received from the Mex
leo Institute. He then gave what
was left of the bottle to three friends
and it cured them also. There are
also many letters daily asking him
to take patients for the whiskey and
morphine habits. This is purely d
home Institution, all of the medicine
being prepared by DR.. Adams and
is admi nistered under his personal
supervision. In this way there is nc
possibility of the mistakes which are
oft times made by careless assistants.
| The success that this institution has
met with in the past is such that for
it a brilliant success is assn red.

To the Editor of the Ledger.
MEXICO, Mo-, April 3.-In obedi-
ence to your request | have examin-
ed the various solutions of the prob
lem formerly published in the LED

the best. The solutions given by
Messrs. Z. T. Burch, of LaddoDia,
J. D. H.,of Mexico, and Col. Wood,
of Calwood, are very good and, in
my judgment, should be ranked in
the order named.
Respectfully, J. B. TATE.

70 the Voters Of Audrain Comfy.


l understand that the report is
being circulated in certain localities
of the county that I was brought
out for the purpose of beating GER
tain candidates already in the race
for collector.
1t will not, l am certain, be nee
essary to deny this rumor to those
who know me; but for the benefit
of others with whom | have no
personal acquaintance, l desire to
state that the report is unqualifedly
false.
I am a native of Audrain County,
having lived in the county all my
life, Except some four years spent in
the confederate army. Three years
ago it was my misfortune to lose
nearly all my personal property in a
cyclone, and to also be so badly Grip
pied physically that | have not been
able to do manual labor since. These
misfortunes, over which | had nc
control, have mortgaged my farm
and placed me in a bad fix finan.
cially. Hence, l am making the
race for collector simply because I
need the Office and believe | am
capable of discharging its duties.
This is written with a view of put.
ting myself right with the people.
Should be successful, l will greatly
appreciate the favor done me, and
will give the office my faithful and
best service. Respectfully,
