rFoin Tue SeW maven Notes
Mexico, an important commercial
center of North Missouri, has many
things to be pround Gifts large
mercantile concerns, churches, schools
and big papers. But that city should
feel especially proud OF their City
Council who have decided to rid the
town Of travelling merchants who have
been going there to unload their bank
rtlpt and damaged stocks. The Coun-
ell at their last meeting passed an or
dfnance making the license for all
these travelling fakes s25 per day.
We don't believe much In protective
tariff but We do believe in protecting
the home merchant. for the reason
that he~is the life and soul OF the town.
Let every other Town Board in Mis-
souri, initiate the worthy example of
the Mexico City Council.

COMMITTED SUICIDE.
G. o. Temple, The Wabash Station
Agent at Centralia, Shoots Him.
self This Morning.
From the MoberIy Monitor

From the Moberly Monitor.
The little city OF CentraIia, twenty
five miles east of Moberly was thrown
into intense excitement when it be-
came known that c. o. Temple, the
station agent of the Wabash, had com
mitted suicide.
The deceased was % years of age
and boarded at the hotel. Last night
he retired as usual and when he did
not appear at the usual time the por-
ter was sent to awaken him. He knock
ed on the door but receiving no re-
Spouse and Immediately began to in
vestigate and was Mortified to find
that the young man had committed
suicide by shooting himself in the
head.
Temple has been with the Wabash
for about eight years and was con-
sidered a f~irst-elass man in every re-
spect. He was formerly station agent
at Wellsville and about a year ago was
transferred to Centralia and given
charge of the Office at that place. He
was unmarried and his parents reside
at Rolla, Mo.
Mr.. Temple was about $500 short in
his accounts and it is supposed that
this preyed on his mind and caused
him to take his own life. He was well
liked in the community.
EpnN CT TuARVE G EnTFNTy
The st. Charles Banner says: The
news of the suicide of Mr.. Temple, who
was a son of S. w. Temple, and was
Familiarity known as "Ote" Temple,
will be a severe shock to his many
friends in this city. He learned teleg-
raphy here, having started as a mes
senger boy at the old Wabash depot.
He gradually worked himself up until
he became telegraph operator for the
Wabash. He left here about three
years ago, working along the Wabash,
and was finally transferred to Contra
liza. He had hosts of friends here, and
this news will be a big surprise. His
parents at present live at Rolla, and
are comfortably fixed financially. S.
W. Temple was a prosperous and we'll
known business man here, having
been proprietor of the Gait House, a
partner in the clothing firm of God
dard & Temple, and was interested in
several other enterprises. He was
one of our foremost citizens.

LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. 6.-The State
Relief Commission to-day made its
first statement to the Government in
a voluminous document, showing the
supplies received and where distrib-
uted, the nature of the contributions,
ETC.. 1t shows that 3O6 cars in all have
been distributed since January 8, of
which 1855 were coal, 10 provisions and
the other grain, clothing, foods, etc.
The eriticisms psssed Ipon tho oons-

length. Much of this has been based
on alleged failure to furnish supplies
called for, and the commission shows
that these acquisitions were exorbi-
tant, averaging about a sack of -four
and 81 worth of meat per week for
each family for five months of those
items alone. The intention of the
commission is to keep two weeks sup
plies ahead in every county, relief be-
ing furnished only through county
commissions. AT present no more
clothing is needed, but food supplies
will be constantly required. The total
number of car loads distributed is $40.

is that the game be restricted to home
