Americans Warned to Leave.
CONSUL GENERAL LEE SAYS HE
THINKS THEY SHOULD GET
OUT OF CUBA.
The Maine Was Destroyed by Treach-
ery-War Ships Ordered to Key
West-More Regiments Of
Artillery Ordered.

HAVANA, CUBA, Feb. %, via KEY
WEST, FLA, Feb. 22.-Americans in
Havana have been quietly notified by
Consul General Lee that it might be
well for them to send their families to
a place of safety. These precautions
we're taken in view of the fact that
there is strong suspicion that the vol
unteers, anti-American and anti
autonomy, have been inspired to Gre
ate trouble in case the Maine inquiry
proves that the catastrophe was due
to design. The authorities in Havana
r taking every precaution in their
power to protect foreigners, but it ID
generally believed that the Consul
General has acted advisedly.
1t is believed that American Consuls
in other Cuban ports have given like
warning.
The naval experts inquiring into the
explosion of the Maine leave Satur-
day. General Lee probably will 60
with them.
The Maine was destroyed by treach-
cry.
While this news is not official, it can
be depended upon. The naval experts
here all believe that a Spanish fanatic
blew up the American war vessel.
These facts are known in Washington.
When the news leaks out here there
is likely to be trouble. This is the ex-
PLANTATION of General Lees advice to
American families to go home while
vet there is time.

MR.. ORLANDO HIT
Would Make q Most Acceptable
Circuit Judge.

To the Editor of the Ledger.
MARTINsBURG, Mo-, February I'll
I have just returned from Mexico, and
while there was introduced to Mr..
Wilson, of st. Charles County, by Mr..
o. Hit, as a probable candidate for
Circuit Judge. Whereupon I intro
duced MIR. Hit as a probable candi-
date for Circuit Judge of this circuit.
So I want to say that 1 do not want
the voters to take this as a joke, but
to rally to the support of Mr.. Hit as
our first choice for this office in case
he should be a candidate. / have
never heard Mr.. Hit say that he
would be a candidate nor have I any
authority from him for saying what 1
have said, but I do it for the interest I
have in getting a good, honest and
capable man for the place and in the
interest of the people. And also for
the eason that Audrain, to the best of
my knowledge, has never yet been
represented on the bench in this CIR
cult, and now as we have been sup
porting men for the place from other
counties / think it nothing but fair
that the voters should support our
man II he enters the race. Now, we
want 1t understood we are not to die
tate to a single voter, but those that
do not know Mr.. Hit and wish to find
out anything about him, ask any one
that knows him in regard to his quail
fications and standing, and if he is
elected I will say that court will last
only part of the winter and that the
expenses of a term Of Circuit Court
will be much less than they are now.
Very Respectfully,

1T is EASY TO TELL.

People are not apt to get anxious
about their health soon enough. Il
you are 'fnot quite Well" orsshalf sick
have you ever thought that your
kidneys may be the cause of your
sickness?
1t is easy to tell by setting aside your
urine for twenty-four hours; a sedi-
ment or settling indicates an I'M
healthy condition of the kidneys
When urine stains linen it is evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent de.
sire to urinate, scanty supply, pain Of
dull ache in the back is also copvirc-
ing proof that the kidneys and blad-
der need doctoring.
There is satisfaction in knowing that
the great remedy, DR.. Kilmsr's
Swamp-Root, fulalls every wish in re-
lieving weak or diseased kidneys and
all forms oil bladder and urinary troub-
les. Not only does Swamp-Root give
new life and activity to the kidneys
the of trouble, but by treating
the kidney it acts as a tonic for the
entire constitution. If you need a
medicine you should have the best.
Sold by druggists, price fifty cents and
one dollar. So remarkably successful
has Swamp-Root been that if you wish
to prove its great merit,you may have
a sample bottle and pamphlet both
sent free by mail upon receipt of three
two-cent stamps to cover cost of pos
tage on the bottle. Mention theMexi-
CO LEDGER and send your address to
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghampton, N. Y.
The proprietor of this paper guaran-
tees the genuineness of this offer.

TIE NEW SUPREME JUDGE.
City Counselor Marshall, of st, Louis,
Appointed to Fill Judge Mac
farlane's Place.

- JEFFERSON CRY, Mo-, February a.
Governor Stephens to-day appoint
ed City Counselor William @. Mar
shall, of st. Louis, Supreme Judge to
succeed George B. M~acfarlane, de-
ceased.
Judge Marshall will hold the place
by virtue of appointment until Janu-
airy LIST next. He will be a candidate
before the Democratic State Conven-
ton at Springfield for nomination the
coming summer, to fill out the re-
mainder of Judge Macfarlane's term
which expires January 1, 1908.
William @. Marshall, just appointed
to the supreme bench, was born in
Mississippi in 1850. He has always
manifested a proper pride in the fact
that lie is a grandson of Chief Justice
Marshall, who, for SO many years,
made history for the struggling re-
public. Mr.. Marshall came to St.
Louis and here finished his study of
the law. He did not develop into a
brilliant lawyer, but he did quickly
establish himself as one of the safest
of legal %counselors and achieved rep
utation in the direct representation of
legal arguments before the civil courts.
With the retirement of Leverett Bell,
ten years ago, Mr. Marshall was ap-
pointed City Counselor by Mayor
Noonan, retaining the Office under
Mayor Walbridge and thus far during
the administration of Mayor Ziegen-
helm. He has always been an ardent
Democrat.

Mother

M0CnerS
recovering from the illness attending
childbirth, or who suffer from the
effects of disorders, derangements
and displacements of the womanly
organs, will find relief and q perma-
nent cure in DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription. Taken during pregnan-
cy, the "Prescriptlon" makes child
birth easy, by preparing the system
for parturition, thus assisting nature
and shortening "labor." The painful
ordeal Of childbirth is robbed of its
terrors and made almost pninless, and
the dangers thereof greatly l~essened
to both mother and child. The period
of confinement is also greatly short
ened, the mother strengthened and
built up, and an abundant secretion
of nourishment for the child promoted.
II the married woman be delicate,
un-down, or overworked, it worries
her husband as we'll az herself. This
Is the proper time to build up hen
strength and cure those weaknesses,
or ailments, which are the cause OF
her trouble. DIR. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription dispels aches and pains,
melancholy and nervousness, brings
refreshing sleep and makes a new
woman of her.

Tribute to the Life of Judge G.. B.
Macfarlane.


Practically every newspaper / n the
State of Missouri has referred edi-
torially in the highest terms to the
life of the late Judge G. B. Macfarlans.
The following tribute from the pen of
the gifted Walter Williams, editor of
the Columbia Herald, is among the
most touching. We are sorry we have
not the room to produce all Of them:
ga WHITE LIFE-AND THEM"
"When George B. Macfarlane, with
harness on his back, stepped aside
from this weary battle we call life and
laid him down to rest, there was
mourning in the State. He was 80
gentle, his speech 81 true and courte-
GUS, his days SC full of usefulness, his
character so stainless every way, that
the commonwealth stood sorrowing at
his grave.
The good of such a life ends not
with the silver plate upon the coffin
lid. Because its waking hours were
packed with precious deeds, because it
served in richest measure all the ends
for which man should spend his time
and strength, his God, his home, his
neighbor and his State; because of
this, the sweet fragrance of Judge
Macfarlane's memory shall long abide
a potent influence in the places which
knew and loved his presence. That
Missouri politics could honor and call
to leadership a man like this digniHes
and compliments and lifts up Mis-
souri, politics.
Whatever the prattlings of philoso-
ply may be, however reason strives to
show it's ignorance of the future, Life
has not ended but only just begun
when our last birthday on earth, which
we call the day of our death, is here.
The hearts faith teaches this truth
and in all the crises and the changing
scenes the faith Of the heart is more
to be trusted than all the PHILOSOPHERS
of the head, the calculating reason of
the brain. The docket has not been
closed; there has simply been adjourn
ment until court In course. When 1t
convenes again, a new Judge will be
upon the bench and the court, sitting
as a jury, will a true verdict render,
according to the law and the evidence.
And none who know the record made
by Judge Macfarlane in the lower
court have any fear as to the judg-
ment to be entered up.n

VARIOUS communities throughout
the State, approaching the factthat we
are going to have a State Fair in Mis-
souri,, are interesting themselves in
securing the same. Centralia, n of
Missouri's most interesting little cities,
is going to make a good fight for this
enterprise. Referring to this matter
the Centralia Guard says: Snow that
all the industrial organizations Of the
State, consisting of cattle, horse, swine
and poultry associations AMI the State
board of agriculture, have passed res
olutions demanding the establishment
of a State Fair through the next Leg
islature, now is the time for the peo-

to secure the location here as such a

He Wants the Democratic Party

SAN ANTONIO, TEX, Feb. 18.-Wm
j. Stone, Of Missouri, arrived here
yesterday en- route to Mexico. When
asked about the recently published
statement that he would be q candi-
date for the Democratic nomination
for President, he denied it most en-
phatically. He said he was opposed to
Bryan's plan of amaIgamating all the
silver forces into a virtually new
party. He favors maintaining the in.
tegrity of the Democratic party.
