A Mighty Volume.

There are very few people in Mex
leo who, when it rains, give a thought
to the amount of water deposited on
the wrinkled face of old mother earth.
the following is the rain fall here last
week:
On Tuesday, the 22nd, 2.s2 inches
fell; on Thursday the oath, LEO inches;
on Friday, the 25th, 1.2O inches, all
amounting to $50 inches.
Mexico contains 1850 acres in the
corporate limits, which, covered with
5.62 inches of rain, would flow into the
creeks draining the town So, 223, 757, 800
cubic inches of water, which would
amount to g. little over 260, 1877 ,611 gal
Ions, weighing 2 ,60s, 976, ITO pounds, or
944, $50 tons. This is an immense vol
ume of water to fall in four rains in a
space III miles wide by Ia miles long,
but supposing that the rain fall of the
county equalled that of the town it
would amount to 15,57s, 915, 252 1913 $40
cubic inches, which equals 1926, $751;
5O9.3k gallons, or 343, lat ,913 tons of
solid water, which very likely fell last
week in this county.
Now, imagine if you can an immense
tank, or water tower, whose sides
reach the store fronts ON the north,
east, south and west sides OF the pub
lie square, the rain fall in the city
limits would fill this tank to running
over at a hei ghth of a little over $685.
feet. The rain fall of the county would
fill a tank of the same width and
breadth to 1O1 1913 5-6 feet high, or 19
miles, 1858 feet.

A BOLD BURGLAR
Entered the Residence of o. C. Willard
on Clark Avenue-S55 Taken
Others Visited.

Wednesday morning at $3.50 O'Clock
a burglar entered the house of Mr.and
Mrs. o. q. Willard and carried off Mr..
Wizards clothes, containing $55 in
cash. He entered through a front win
dow and threw the clothes away in
the rear of Lewis Hord's residence.
About 2:3o O'Clock Mrs. Willard,
who, with ner husband, was sleeping
in a room Immediately east of the sit
ting room, heard a board creak in the
sitting room floor, and thinking it was
the hired girl getting up called her,
but received no answer. She called
again and still no answer. She then
heard a stealthy step across the floor
and she awoke her husband and the
loss was discovered.
There was a lamp burning in the
sleeping room, but Mr.. Wizards
clothes were or a chair close to the
folding doors leading into the sitting
room, and the burglar had only to
reach in and get the clothes contain
ing the money. He made his exit
through the sitting room window, at
which he entered.
Mr.. Willard awoke Chas. Grassell,
who lives next door, and they notified
the police, but to no effect. AS above
stated the clothes were recovered.
At w. W. Settles house the screens
were removed from the two kitchen
windows, but the windows being lock-
ed down the burglar could not enter.
An unsuccessful attempt was also
made to enter Mr.. Richards house on
Clark avenue.

B%ELLIGERENT LOVER.
He Got So Persistent That He Landed
in Jail

HANNIBAL, Mo-, June ga case
that has been given considerable pub
licity was disposed of in this city last
evening. 1t was the case of the State
against J. 81. Stevens, of Monroe City,
charged with sending threatening let
tiers to Miss Emma Garner, a highly
respected young lady of Hannibal.
Stevens became infatuated with Miss
Garner, but she spurned him, which
caused him to use threatening means
to gain her favor. He had been ar.
rested and put under bond to keep the
peace, but al SOC as his bond expired
he renewed his endeavors to win
her Affection Last evening the jury
before whom he was tried found him
guilty, assessed his punishment at six
months in the county jail and a fine OF
$500, the maximum penalty. He is
believed to be somewhat demented.

The Marble Cutter is Rich.

kN
In a little building north of the
Court House is q tombstone shop.
Within its humble walls day after day
for the last two years, E. r. Acuf, the
marble cutter, has toiled In the soft
Vermont marble and granite chiseling
out emblems Of immortality, familiar
and strange, and tracing in delicate
and graceful letters the extollation of
the virtues of the departed. Here is
q cherub, there a broken column,
yonder q modest declaration. He is
not a second Michael Angelo, though
he can make a creditable angel from
the shapeless marble. Not infrequent-
ly has he blown the dust from q form
ing Gabriel, and, pausing, leaned up
on his hammer and meditated over
the vanities and vexations of life that
doomed to modest circumstances the
man who made angels. At times the
shop grew gloomy and he fretfnlly
doubted if angels, virtues and epi-
taphs weren't hoaxes, after all. Now
all is changed and the little marble
cutter is one of the richest men in
Paris. By the death of his grand
mother, Mrs. Mary Roney, at Piqua,
O., he has fallen heir to $3.50, 200. 1t is
indeed good luck.

ADJOURNED
Has the Mt. Pleasant Brothers Union

Broader Territory Work.

The Mt. Pleasant Brothers. Union oil
Regular Baptists, which convened in
the Monroe Street Baptist Church in
this city on last Friday, adjourned last
night after a most successful and har-
monious meeting.
j. V. Dawes, who expects to leave
shortly as missionary to China, adj
dressed the meeting yesterday after
noon, and after his interesting discus
course an informal discussion ensued
on the necessity of churches engaging
in active missionary work.
Last night a large audience assem-
bled to hear Ed. E. FL. Burnam, who
is a cultured scholar and a linguist of
note. He took as his text the beauti-
full words, 81 Am Not Ashamed of the
Gospel of Christ, For 1t Is the Power
of God Unto Salvation" DIR. Burnam's
address was perhaps the most able of
the meeting and was a fitting close to
30 excellent a session, which tavors a
broader missionary work.
1hC OllOWih ACcOIutiOu was OIaWu
up and adopted:
To our Brethren of the Udrious churches:
The undersigned, members of Regu-
lar Baptist Churches, would humbly
and earnestly represent that, whereas,
the Lord Jesus Christ has addressed
His churches as the light of the world
and made it their duty to maintain
and defend the gospel of Christ, and,
according to their gifts, sphere of life
and opportunities to spread it abroad
among the fallen sons of men; and,
whereas, our churches have too long
and greatly disregarded this injunc-
ton, and in consequence have lain
and languished under his deep dis
pleasure. Therefore, the undersigned,
in their anxiety for the honor of
Christ, their concern for the churches
and their love for the fallen and ruin
ed sons of men, and appealing to God
for the uprightness and purity of their
Intentions, hereby suggest to their
brethren of the different churches and
SO advise them, by earnest supplica-
ton in fasting and prayer to God to
set apart some of their number
whose business it shall be to perform
evangelistic work, and to urge upon
the churches their solemn RESPONSE
bility to God and men to rise up to the
performance of their divinely appoint
ed mission, and to call them to q
proper missionary spirit and concern
for the spread of the gospel at home
and abroad, to the end that the Lord
in answer to their humble prayers
may send forth other faithful men to
labor in the vineyard of the gospel
whenever and in whatever capacity
the Holy Spirit may direct.
And we hereby earnestly appeal to
the churches to take immediate action
on this point and send word through
their clerks the amount they are will
ing to contribute quarterly to the sup
port of such evangelist, for publication
in the Regular Baptist.

Shireman Clothing Company
TO MOVE TO THE NORTH SIDE
OF THE PUBLIC SQUARE.
The Potts Building to be Reftted and
R~efurnished in Elegant Style for
it-Stock to be Increased.

w. Harding. Anew front will be put

refurnished throughout, making it
one OF the lightest and most handsome
store rooms in the city for the pur-
pose for which it is to be used.
The Shireman Clothing Go. have
been in business in Mexico for two
years and have enjoyed a fine bust
ness, which has steadily grown, from
the fact that they are selling goods
strictly on their merits and treat all
customers alike, making one price to
all, and now the firm is compelled to
have larger and lighter quarters in
which to do business.
Mr.. G.. F. Shireman, the genial
manager of the firm, informs the
LEDGER that he is arranging to carry
a much larger line Of goods and will
have one of the most complete stocks
of clothing ever offered for sale In
Mexico.
The firm is pleased with the
handsome improvements Mr.. Potts is
going to make on the building and
says that with such a large and light
room they can do business much more
satisfactory. Mr.. Shireman is we'll
pleased with our people and says he
never met a more agreeable line of
customers than are the sturdy citizens
of our town.
Between now and August 1, when
he moves, he is offering unusual bar
gains. Call and see for yourself. After
September 1 he invites you to call at
the new store, north side square, next
to Griffee & Martins shoe store.

MYSTERIOUS DEATH.
One Dead, One Dying and One Serious
ly Injured. at Wellsvllle.

Just after train No. 8, which passes
through here at 1880, left Wellsville
Tuesday night some parties found
three bodies by the side of the rail-
road track at Wellsville.
One man was dead and two nearly
SO. They looked like tramps and a lot
of burglar tools were near them.
Wednesday morning one of the men
regained consciousness, but refused to
make a statement further than that
they were dubbed, and their injuries
go to prove that which he asserts.
Their heads are badly bunged up.
