What's the Matter With the Star?

Why is it that Bob White never
prints any more lists of presents re-
ceived by the happy couples down in
Audrain county? Can it be that the
good people of that county objected
to having their names coupled with
tides, towels, lamp mats, plated tea
spoons, dish pans and the like, or
does Bob think 1t more up-to-date to
say "the presents received were many
and Observation-Disclosures City Star.
The Mexico Evening LEDGER is as
near up-to-date as the Kansas City
Star and does not 60 into detail in

same reason the Star does not. We'd

various reasons, do not run to towels
near so much as in Kansas City.

A PRETTY STORE
Was ]. n. pollard's During His An
nual Reception Wednesday After
noon and Evening The Most
Successful Yet.

At2 O'Clock Wednesday, November
"a, began J. III. Pollard's fourth an
nnal reception in his jewelry store on
the south side of the square.
As early as the opening hour there
were many visitors arriving and from
that time until 10 o'clock at night the
aisles of the store were thronged
with fashionably dressed people. On
entering the store the eyes of the
spectator were attracted by the beauti-
full bank Of multi-colored crysanthe-
NUNS, which almost surrounded an
elegant cabinet music box at the rear
Of the store. Here w. II. French pre-
sided and enlivenee the occasion with
beautiful music from the music box.
On the right and left were some of
Mexico's fairest young ladies who
were assisting In receiving. There
were also several married ladies.
Among those assisting were Mes
danes Tony Galloway, J. NJ. Pollard,
L. y. Rodes, Tina Dobyns and e. 8.
Gave; Misses Julia Arnold, Stella
Harper, Esther Norris, Frances Cook,
Mary Shouse, Alice Mason, Minnie
Basket, Matte Spence, Ruth Lake..
nan, Sue Robertson, Garth of Colum-
bia, Fannie Potts, Maupin, of Ala
bama, Nellie and May Lewis, Lena
and Mamie Ricketts,, Jessie Wells and,
Noble Settle. Had there been no or
nament save these ladies', the recep-
tion would have been perfect success,
but besides these there was case after
case of sparkling jewelry, silverware,
etc., in the center of the store and to
the rear was row of onyx tables
which formed two aisles. On these
tables were set many beautiful and
artistic lamps, which, when darkness
fell and they were lighted, added
splendor to the already beautiful
scene.
One case especially attracted st
tention and that was the case con-
tanning the diamonds. There were
rings, brooches, pins and unset stones,
which summed up to over $4,000
worth. The opals and other stones
were Of equal fineness and purity.
The silverware was artistic and up-to-
date;in fact everything demonstrated,
to even the casual observer, that the
of the store is man of
much taste and experience.
All during the reception tea and
waters was served. The tea was that
sold by W. O. Williams. The guests
were presented with carnations and
1898 calendars. II should be upon
these calendars that q mark should be
drawn around the month of Novem-
Der to remind this years visitors to
Pollard's reception to attend the fifth
annual reception one year hence.

A Severe Sentence For Abandonment.
MARSHALL, Mo-, Nov. 25.-The last
day of last year VIM. Brownlee and
Miss Mamie Scott were married, but
the next month the groom unaccount-
ably left and was not again seen until
about three weeks ago, when he was
arrested for abandonment. A jury
convicted him yesterday and Judge
Ryland sentenced him to Jail year
and fined him $500. The case was the
first of the history of the county. Diff
ferences between the BRIDES relatives
and those of the groom were probably
at the bottom of the trouble.

GOULD ADVANCES SALARIES.
Missouri Pacific Employees All Receive
Welcome Thanksgiving
Present.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 26.-It is announced
to-day that, as a Thanksgiving pres
ent, President George Gould, of the
Missouri Pacific railway system, has
advanced salaries all along the line 10
per cent. The advance, which will
date back to November 1, affects
$4,000 employees and will result in an
additional expenditure of 100000 a
year.
The salaries were cut from 5 to 20
per cent in 1898, owing to the pre-
vailing hard times, those employees
making from $50 to s75 a month
being reduced $5, between S75 and
800 month 5 per cent, between 800
and 5000, 10 per cent, and above 5000,
including those of the highest officials
of the road, 20 per cent. The men
affected include officials, Office men,
engineers, conductors, tralnmen, tele-
graph operators, station agents and
machinists. The cut was in effect
three years and five months. On a
basis of 10 per cent the management
is said to have saved $3, ,2so, GOO through
its intrenchment policy. The earn
ings of the system have been increas-
ing steadily for several months. A
full force is working overtime in every
department and the management
believes the revenue will justify the
restoration of reduced salaries.
