Clothes for Little Wexrers.

Though women of fashion in half
sizes, like the pair 3iietched below,
haven't the freedom of choice in dress
matters that their elders have, their in
terest in such matters is usually quite
as great, and while adults only take
satisfaction in new costumes, the little
women find delight in them. While it
is a mistake to give so much attention
to children's dresses as to make dolls
out of them, it is wise to let them be-
gin early to take interest in the ap-
pearance they make. and surely if the
tot knows that her very best dress is
something that has cost mamma a deal
of pains. she will take the better care
of it, and prize it the more highly. The
two little gowns shown here should
be satisfying to the wearers and max
ers alike. That at the left was made
of light red cashmere. its full skirt
hanging in deep plaits at the sides.

MURDER.
The Wellsville (Mo.) Tragedy at Last
Explained.

WELLsvILLE, Mo-, Sept. 24.-Thos.
Folly, one of the tramps wounded in
the tragedy here June 20, and who is
in Jail charged with the killing of w.
E. Smith, companion, has made a
full confession. He says Bill Moore,
the tramp in the Mexico jail, killed
Smith. He says the three of them
had planned to rob the post Office at
this place, and while waiting for the
fast mail to pass, Moore and Smith
became involved in a heated discus
sion. He says he demonstrated with
them for their loud noise. Moore
struck him with pick. Smith in turn
struck Moore with a bit, cutting a
cash in his head. Moore then knock
ed Smith down and beat his brains
out with the pick. Folly tells straight
story, which is fully corroborated by
the facts and circumstances develop
ed since the tragedy.
MOORE DENIES 1T.
When LEDGER reporter called on
Moore at the Jail he, of course, denied
that he beat Smiths brains out. Moore
says that he did not remember any
thing after he felt himself falling from
the train. Moore says that he thinks
Folly is crazy.
When the reporter called at the jail
Moore "was asleep" and it was with
difficulty that an interview was Sc
cured. When he did come forward
and had learned of the accusation of
Folly he turned deathly white and
could barely talk. He was, without
doubt, ,frightend and could not conceal
it. The reporter could not understand
half of his words, and upon being
asked to repeat Moore could not speak
above a loud whisper. Moore says he
has witnesses to prove his innocence.

at the same time, thought 1t bad policy
for him to show weakness and try to
hide from an open discussion. He

AN ELDERLY LADIES' HOME
To Be Established in Mexico By the
Kings Daughters-A Christian
Work Which Should Be
Encouraged.

At a meeting of the Kings Daughters
Wednesday, Sept. 22d, it was decided
to establish home for elderly ladies
in Mexico.
The plan is this: A small house
will be built in Mexico and kept up by
the organization. Membership may
be had by the payment of 81, which
insures a home and living for the rest
of the donors life. AS a matter OF
fact, there will be "stockholders' in
the institution who never expect to
take advantage of the livelihood thus
offered. The movement was placed
under fair headway by a liberal con-
tribution from Mrs. VIM. Harper, who
is ever ready to do an act of mercy to
her fellow creatures.
While the Kings Daughters never
solicit contributions they are always
thankful for anything given. The
organisation, which is about IL years
old in Mexico, is not denominations
society and hopes to have a piece o.
ground donated, upon which they may
erect the home. The most enthusi'
astic promoters of the home do no
expect to be able to build before mex
spring.
Let the charitably disposed people
of Mexico get together and do wha
they can toward the promotion of thu
elderly ladies' home.

Peaceful Methods.

In Bryan's speech at Sedalia he
used strong words against anarchy
and threats of dynamite and murder
against millionaires, to avenge the
death of the strikers shot down In
Pennsylvania. He said the only safety
was to stand by the law, and secure
reforms by peaceful means. With
this view nearly every man, not q
crank, agrees.
This quotation illustrates his posi-
tion and the position OF all good citi-
zens:
"Those who have suggested the
burning of property and the destruct-
ion of life as means Of settling la
Dor disputes do not understand the
genius of our institutions. The
American people are abiding.
When the laws are bad they change
the laws"

Fleet, of Culver, Ind, will be wed

Maj. Matheson was for several years
prominently connected with the Mis-
souri, Military Academy at this place,

ling worth and will not stop until the
highest rung on the ladder of success
has been reached. He now occupys
the chair of technology in one of the
foremost of Atlanta's institutions of
learning.
Miss Belle Fleet is a daughter OF
Col. A. F. Fleet, formerly Of this city,
and is a most lovable young lady.
She possesses all of woman's sweet
ness and amiability. She is cultured
and accomplished and has a warm
spot in the hearts of her friends in
Mexico. The LEDGER extends con-
gratulations.
