TO KEEP UP THE FIGHT.
Representative Overstreet VIII Leave
for Washington To-Morrow.

Representative Jesse Overstreet will go to
Washington tomorrow. He said yesterday
that the efforts to induce the House to pass
a currency reform bill would not be abated
an iota, despite the discouraging informa-
ton that has come from Washington in the
last few days
Il have known all along" said he that
there was a feeling among the members of
tie House that it would be useless, in view
o the attitude of the Senate, to do any
thing more than merely place themselves on
record /as beiEg in favor of a reformation
of the currency system, but 1 still expect
to see bill reported by the committee on
currency and banking and passed by the
House."

Brother, He VIII Likely

Clarence Ragsdals, formerly one Of
the proprietors OF the 99c store in this
city, is still in New York City, where
he was instrumental In capturing the
leader OF a green goods gang. He il
remaining there to appear against
the green goods operator and Incl
dentaIIy to lay claim to 8 reward of
$1,000, which had been offered for the
apprehension of the "gang."
F. Ragsdale, q brother, who works
In the 99c. store now, said to q LED
GER reporter this morning that his
brothers. object In visiting in New
York was to %apprehend the dealers
and get the reward. According to
Frank, who got . letter from his
brother to-day, Mr.. Ragsdale ar
ranged a meeting with Harry
Phillips, the leader of the gang.He was
not easy to deal with, because he was
trying to trap the gang, SO Phillips
opened a door into an adjoining room
and four more men walked In and
demanded the $500 in the deal or
threatened to throw him in the Hud-
son. Ragsdale had to give in and
was taken, by a circuitous route, to the
Pennsylvania railroad depot, where
they bought him a ticket for st. Louis,
threatening him with bodily violence
If he made an outcry. After the train
started Ragsdale jumped of and hunt
ing up two detectives he had Phillips
arrested. He is now waiting to testify
against him Tuesday.

!. HANDSOME LADIES.
Miss Anna Sue Batterton and Miss
Bessie Mckee Awarded the
Ledger Prizes.

The committee on awarding the
LEDGER prizes to the most handsome
ladies in attendance at the Mexico
Street Fair on the first day
had q hard time making q decision.
There were 30 many handsome ladies
1t was hard for the committee to tie
the ribbons. There were more good
looking ladies In Mexico on that day
than ever before in the history OF
the city. The committee finally voted
that Miss Anna Sue B~atterton, daugh-
ter of George w. Batterton, of Sailing
Township, and Miss Bessie Mckee, Of
Salt River, were the two handsomest
ladies In attendance at the Fair, and
they will receive the LEDeER prem
iums. The committee expressed re.
greet to the LEDGER that premiums
could not be awarded to all the ladies
in attendance at the Fair, as they al
deserve prizes for good looks.
Mrs. W. n. French, Of Mexico, wa
the favorite with q portion of the
committee,
