Mr.. ~Schienberg saysthat the advance
in prices since the tariff bill became q
law ia immaterial In case Of his goods
as they were all bought before the

The Hub represents three large

Harry Dey worked like a Trojan
against the flames and was a big factor
in saving the Post Office and bank
buildings.
Bob Arnold heard of the fire and
came down from Centralia just about
the time the department was getting
it well under control.
The Ringo Hotel was in serious
danger for some time, and it was only
by earnest and continuous work that
the department succeeded in saving
1t.
Acting Mayor Geo. Adams was very
prompt in having extra police APP
pointed to see that residences and
stores were not b~urglarized during
the fire.
1t looked for a time as If the First
National bank would certainly be de-
stroyed. The rooms were s~uffocating-
ly hot and the beams were found to be
badly charred.
French s. Garrett lost. a hundred
bushels of coal which they had just
laid in for winter use. 1t was in q shed
in the real of their store and was
quickly consumed by the flames.
| Ben Middleton displayed great
courage by going into the carriage
room and bringing out several vehi-
eles which would otherwise have been
destroyed. Ben knows no such thing
as fear.
The electric light plant promptly
shut down during the fire, SO there
would be no live wires to injure the
firemen. This was very thoughtful
and prevented what might without a
doubt have been a serious accident.
Reuben McCord suffered a very
painful injury while assisting. He was
helping with one of the hose lines
when he tr1pped and fell. His left
arm caught on a lamp hook and was
severely cut, eleven stitches being re-
CURED to close the wound.
By the aid of his friends A. M. Trim
BILE succeeded in removing his stock
from the West building, which he oc-
cupied. 1t was we'll that he did, else
it would all have gone up in flames.
He is occupying the 8. B. Cook build
ing, next door south of Phillips
clothing house.
Mexico may well be proud of her
fire department. After they had got
ten things Strengthened out they man
aged the flames fully as well as
any trained city department could.
By its valiant work it elected much
praise. The following are its members
V. F. Morris, chief; Mason Creasey,
assistant chief; Tom Donnelly, first

Every merchant and bust e g mar

Col. Sam and Capt. Joe Pa Inner, oil
Sturgeon, had the horse show in
charge.
1t is generally admitted on all hands
that Frank Bruton is a double-decked
hummer.
The enterprising people in and
around Sturgeon will organize a fair
association and give a meeting next
year.
Fountain & Green, the big cattle
men, bought 81 head of cattle from
Jno. M. Fountain, October delivery,
at Al cents.
The LEDGER Is under obligations to
FL. Crosswhite for favors. Mr.. Gross
white has been a subscriber to this
paper for many years.
Sturgeon is having a building boom.
A number of new business houses and
residences are being built. Sturgeon
is a good substantial town.
j. R. Wayne, formerly of this coun-
ty, now of Sturgeon, has sold a half
interest in the fine saddle and show
stallion, Star Rose, to Joseph Burkey
for $500.
r. NJ. Fountain was paying little
attention to the horse shows, but was
looking for good cattle. Col. Foun-
tain is one Of Missouri's most extern
sive cattle dealers.
By actual count the LEDGER man
met SO thrifty farmers in the crowd
who are subscribers to the LEDGER
and whose postofiees are either Stur-
geon, Sailing or Centralia.
Sam Brown, of C~entralis, at the
