mentally from the effects of his own
carelessness. He is employed by large
concern and the other evening retired
to his room in a hotel rather early with
the intention of writing some letters
He wrote one to the manager of his
house and another to his best girl.
When he returned from his trip the
manager said to him that though he
had been an employc of the house for
some time he did not think that the
fact warranted his taking the liberty
which he assumed OF course the
travelling man was nonplussed and af-

had occurred which threatened to mar

on the traveller that he had mixed his
letters up and he was prepared to buy
something.

GOLD CONTRACT.
A Mexico Business Man Refuses to
Accept Goods Upon Such a
Contract.

A few days since a prominent bust
ness man of Mexico ordered $197.S5
worth of goods from Henry E. Jones,
81 Chambers street, New York. The
goods were bought from the travelling
agent of this house. The goods ar
rived this week by freight. On ex-
amining the bill the business nan
found printed on the same the words:
"Payable in New York in United
States gold or its cnrranty eqniva-
lent" He promptly notified Henry
E. Jones that he would not receive
the goods; that he made no such con-
tract with his agent. The freight on
the goods was about $40. The freight
back will about the same. 1t looks
as though Henry E. Jones will be out
$40 on account of inserting the gold
clause in the contract not agreed
upon by the purchaser. Just what
Mr.. Jones will do in the premises viii
develop when he replies TO the letter.
In the meantime the business has
made a new order for the goods from
another house.

School Age.

To the Editor of the Ledger.
MEXICO, Mo-, Aug. 15.-In the ex-
element of this stirring campaign, a
matter of considerable interest to the
people of Missouri is liable to be con-
sidered less carefully than it deserves.
1t is the proposed amendment to the
State Constitution changing the legal
school age from six to five years.
This amendment ought to be defeat
ed. 1t will not benefit but rather harm
pupils, parents and teachers. The fol-
lowing from tneMissouri School Journal
is worthy of careful attention:
"The Journal is glad to note that the
teachers tin institute assembled are
speaking out in no uncertain terms in
condemnation of the constitutional
amendment to be voted On at the gem
eral election in November, changing
the school age from six to five years.
The teachers are qualified to speak In
diligently on this subject. They know
that children only FIVE years OF age
are too young to be confined in the
schoolroom. They know that the
schools are already overcrowded, the
teachers overworked, and that if this
amendment is adopted these infants
cannot be provided for. Hence, they
oppose it. The State now gives four
teen years. free tuition to every child
| That is surely enough"

Late Wednesday night Chairman
Sam B. Cook ~telegraphed to Governor
William ]. Stone who is in New York,
asking him to confer with William ].
Bryan, the Presidential nominee, and
ascertain when he could come to st.
Louis for the opening of the State
campaign. At noon to-day he had
not received an answer, but he expects
to know definitely before the State
Committee completes its work Of or
g~anization.
The Committee is at work discussing
plans and shaping its course. 1t will
have it's headquarters in st. Louis, and
while the actual opening of the cam
paign may be postponed until the lat
ter part of the month, the working
force will begin it's labors immediate
ly. "Within two weeks" said Chair
man Cook, s'we expect to have at least
$1,000 persons in the employ OF the
State Committee. The work of organ
izing by school districts will be taken
up among the first business and will
be vigorously pushed to completion"
Chairman Cook may not announce
the campaign and finance committees
until Friday, but he has them nearly
| made up.

RUN OVER BY THE CARS.
A Man and a Boy Torn to Pieces on
the Chicago & Alton a Mile and
a Half West of Mexico.

A man and a boy, yet unidentified,
were found lying dead near the Chicago
& Alton track about a mile and a half
west of this city Saturday morning.
Their bodies, or what was left of them,
had been thrown to one side in some
manner and two patches of blood, small
pieces of flesh and ground-up bone on
the track indicated that they had been
run over by one or more trains.
Both bodies were torn to pieces and
dismembered hands, legs and feet
we're thrown in every direction. The
mans face was barely recognizable
and the back of his head was a net
work of holes, while the boys face
was entirely gone, only the scalp and
one eye, hanging by a small piece of
muscle, remaining. Otherwise both
bodies looked as if they had been run
through a saw mill, and when the
pieces were picked up and put in two
pine collins the sight was a sickening
one.
The bodies were brought to town
about IL O'Clock Saturday morning
and placed in Lupton's undertaking
rooms, where hundreds of persons
viewed them. Not one person who
looked at them could identify either
and the probabilities are that their
names will never be known.
The man was apparently about 8
feet 10 inches tall, had short, dark
hair, being almost bald on the top of
his head, a large neck and a strong
featured, smooth face. His hands and
feet were unusually small for one his
size, and the color of his eyes seemed
ed cap, in-striped cottonade trous-
ers, a black shirt, lace shoes and on
him was found a blue polka dot hand
kerchief, while there was a glove on
his left hand. Nothing was found in
any of his pockets or near him.
The boy, who was apparently about
IL years old, and about 5 feet 8 inches
in height, had short, light reddish
brown hair, a fair complexion and
probably dark blue eyes, as the one
found hanging to his scalp indicated.
He wore a gray flannel shirt, black
tie, red suspenders, lace shoes, light
colored trousers, long black hose and
O checked satinet coat and had on
a checked cap. On him vas found a
gold ring with a black set and the
initial ga" engraved on the inside.
Nothing, not even a pocket knife, was
found in his pockets.
From the looks of the two it appears
that they must have been lying square
ly across the rail when struck by the
train. OF course, there r plenty OF
rumors afioat about their being MUIR
dered and placed on the track, but
both bodies are SO mutilated that
should this be the case it could never
be proved.
CoRoNER'S JURY.
w. X. Potts, s. G. Hill, Henry
Howe, Tom Northern, j. M. Coons,

says the above jury viewed the bodies,
but asked for further time in which
to make their verdict.
