The Door of Life.


The fear of pain and the dangers of
parturition fill many a woman's breast
with dismay. There is no reason why
childbirth should be fraught with dan
ger and distress. 1t is a perfectly
natural function, and should be per-
formed in a natural way without un-
due suffering. Nine of ten women
are troubled more or less by weakness
and disease peculiar to their sex. It
is 80 because they do not take proper
care of themselves-because they
neglect little ills and little precau-
tions. A woman in perfectly hearty
health goes through her time of trial
with comparative ease. The thing to
do then, is to make all expectant
mothers healthy-to strengthen them
generally and locally. The medicine
and tonic to do 1t with ia DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. 1t is a power
full invigorant and nervine. 1t soothes
and strengthens the nerves and acts
directly on the feminine organism in
a way which fits it for the proper and
regular performance of all its func-
tions at all times. Taken during ges-
tation it robs childbirth of its dangers
to both mother and child, by prepar-
ing the system for delivery, thereby
shortening labor, l~essening pain and
abbreviating the period of confine-
ment.

Jefferson is dear to every Democratic
heart, and the principles of Jefferson

people every passing day. 1t was
Jefferson who penned the Declaration

"Issues may arise from time to
time, but Jefferson stated those fund

applied in the settlement of every

me what are the fundamental princi-

declaration to which I have referred,
and are couched in these words, 'AIl

RUSH HILL, Nov. %, 1s97.-Having
seen that two prominent newspaper
men, namely "Rob" and "Sam," have
been controversing in regard to politi-
cal matters, we think q few words
from a friend and subscriber would be
in order.
We would kindly suggest that they
should put down their axes and break
the handles out of them and make
tootbpicks out of the splinters. We
recognize both men as being thor
oughly up-to-date in newspaper work
and no doubt there is honor in store
for both men.
Please excuse these unsought- for

Tuesday night about twelve O'Clock
Earnest Garrett, a prominent timer
of this city, and two painters en-
ployed by M. T. Vandegrift got into
an alteration, which resulted in a
cutting scrape of rather a serious ma
ture. Garrett was badly cut in six
different places. The only one of a
probable serious nature is below the
left shoulder. He was taken to DIR.
Halley's Office where his wounds were
dressed. The men who attacked him
were Frank Whitaker and August
Fiohboese and are both under arrest.
Both declare their innocence, claim
ing that they did not g Garrett after
leaving the saloon, where they first
met, but it looks as If they are GER
tainly guilty. Fiohboese sustained
two slight wounds which are unac-
counted for.

THE UPBUILpING OF CITIES.

The progress of this country has
been continuous since 1t was first dis
covered by Columbus, but the great
est strides in its development have
been in the last fifty years. Casting
your eye over u vast territory, you
see cities that have had a growth that
Is truly phenomenal, and still they are
prospecting and increasing. One
pauses to wonder that they could at
tain such gigantic proportions in a
few years. The answer is not hard to
find; they had good natural advan-
tages that needed only to be utilized
by the application of capital and
labor. The pioneers of these cities
early realized that there was no bet
ter way to make known their induce
ments than by a lavish use of the
press, all kinds of literature and by
the citizens of the locality unceas
ingly pointing out its advantages to
all visitors.
This way and this way only have
QUILL bu6AhNOC SClLCAo 40 ShASnSO, SIs
Louis, Kansas City, Denver, Omaha,
Los Angeles and others been brought
to their present position. These cit
les, though many times larger than
Mexico, still advertise, and thus keep
the inducements they offer to the
front. If it pays these cities to keep
their resources and advantages prom
inent, it will surely pay Mexico. Our
citizens should remember that over
modest merit, too modest to claim its
rightful share in the worlds work,
may make up its mind to starve.
What we need is advertising litera-
ture, and in quantity, and every bust
ness man should help toward this end.
The LEDGER is ever to the front. 1t
is a paper of the people, for the peo-
pie and with the people, and, pursuing
this policy, we are preparing to issue
a special agricultural and industrial
edition, devoted to setting forth the
resources of Audrain county and
Mexico and the inducements that we
offer to home-seekers and capitalists.
The edition will be printed on a su-
perior quality of paper and will be
handsomely illustrated. 1t will deal
fully with the unparalleled advan-
tages of Mexico for the location of
factories. The inducements offered
to home-seekers by Audrain county
will be duly set forth, together with
the standing of our banks, business
houses and educational institutions.
Thousands of copies will be distributed
throughout the county and to the
outside world.
In this laudable enterprise the
LEDGER feels confident that the mer-
chants, professional and business men
generally will cooperate with 1t
and sustain their splendid reputation
for assisting materially all worthy
projects to extend the fame and glory
of Mexico and Audrain county be-
yond the borders of Missouri. Now
is the propitious time to place before
the worlds readers our city's educa-
tional advantages, the salubrity of
her climate, the fertility of her soil,
her desirability as a location for man
ufacturers and her fame as a stock
and grain raising center. The LEDGER
has placed this work in charge of a
gentleman who is an expert in this
line, and for whom we respectfully
ask q courteous hearing.

CORNER STONE LAID.
The Ceremonies Attendant to the
Laying of the Corner Stone of the

Were Well Attended.

On Tuesday afternoon a large dele
cation of the members of the Mexico
lodge of Odd Fellows went to Lad
donia to attend and assist in the lay
ing of the corner stone to a new
$500 lodge building. 1t will be a two
story brick structure.
The Mexico delegation, which was
by the Mexico Concert
Band, was met at the depot by Lad
donia Lodge, No. 456, and its visiting
brethren. Headed by the band a line
OF march was taken up by all MEM
bers present to the old I. o. o. F. Hall,
where the members were thoroughly
organized into line and called to order.
The line of march was then taken up
through all the principal streets of the
beautiful little city by the members of
the different lodges from Mexico,
Vandalia, Farber, Rush Hill, Benton
City, Perry and other places, assemb-
ling at the site upon which the new
building was to be erected.
After this the Noble Grand @. G.
Baker, of the local lodge, who acted
as master of ceremonies, delivered
a touching and well worded ad-
dress and ordered the stone placed.
He closed his remarks with the fol-
lowing:
Gin benevolence and charity 1 lay
this corner stone, earnestly praying
that as it is firmly fixed in this solid
foundation, SO may those cardinal
virtues immutably repose in our or
ganization and be the constant prac-
tice of our order.
"As this cement binds together this
stone of the wall, 30 may the cement
OF brotherly affebtion bind us together
during all the days of our lives here
below, and SO may the cement of
divine love, in our Fathers own good
time, unite us as living stones in the
temple, the house not made with
hands, eternally in the heavens"

The members of the different lodges
then marched to the old hall, where
Hon. T. A. Omohundro, of Bowling
addressed them. After this an
oyster banquet was given,
which lasted from $50 until after -

pared and nicely served and the visit
