LEEDY MEN LOSE
Fourth Ward Pop Primary
Boiling Hot.
BILL GREEN FLAYE0
Only Twenty-0ne ReformerS
in the Ward Attend,

The Fourth Ward PopuIist primary on
last night vas in most respects d
failure After dI1geut advertising but
twsntyone voters attended from the whole
ward. There was a fight on and the
partisans buckIed On their war clothes
and succeeded in mastering twenty-one
braves. The merry war began The fight
was really Leedy and al anu-Leedy
fight. Judge R. A. Sankey and William
FIavius Green led of for Leedy, and Lew
ButJerfeId, John Cowley and Dr.. Pratt
took the and-Leedy side. John Cowley's
vote was challenged on the ground that
Re would not support Leedy. This he ad-
mitted but insisted on his right 20 vote
In county primary. He was a Popullst
and nad a right TO exercise his Judgment
and vote as he pleased.
This set things il notion Cowley made
e speech IN which he paid his respects
70 William Flavius Green in language
that could not be printed Backed By
Lew Butterfeld, CoEley proceeded to
warm Green for going up to Topeka and
putting up fight against the merropoli-
tan police board that mad lost them all
their places. He accused William Of try
ing 70 put up & JOB TO get q prohibition
board OF police commissioners with Irwin
S-ratton at the head: and that this had
originated the trouble which caused the
state convention 70 abolish the metroDoI-
itan system CowIey unbottled whole
barrel Of wrath and showed puguis-ic
tendencies. Green's friends were disap-
pointed az his apparent lack Of courage.
H.
Lew BUtterleld mas not been out Of his
position as policeman long. and this mat
ter being fresh in ais mind he. too. had a
few -hings 70 say. He reminded those
present that a god many things were
wrong; that there was no interest; that
Leedy's appointments were unsa tisfac-
tory a hit a Green that a deep feeling
Of disgust was creeping over the P0pu-
lists; that in fact It looked Ike a Repub-
lean year. He roasted KIes and defend
ed Deacon wilson There was but little
comfort in Butlerfield's speech for the
Populists.
The end was not YET Dr.. Pratt rose
Up like 4 patriarch Of old ard IN tones
OF thunder denounced Leedy's appoint
ments in general and Bill Green il partic-
ular. He bra1dished a pair OF clelched
fists 50 close to Green's nose that he
batted his eyes. The major part OF the
talk was anti-Leedy. When the
voting came u show down. the anti
Leedyites. Cowley, Bu-terheld, Pratt and
their followers, had won and r. A san

LEASE IS SIGNED
Frisco to Acquire Full Contro.
of Midland.
BEFORE SEPTEMBER 10TH
Contract Made For Midland
by Receiver Wolff

!. It IS stated on positive authority now
that the Frisco is 10 take hold OF the
Midland On September Et as was pub
lished in the Eagle some days ago, and
that the lease has been signed. AL the
terms OF the lease have been agreed 20
by Receiver Wolff Of the Midland and the
Frisco authorities. The change is TO take
effect the first OF September though the
Midland officials VIII remain in their
present places until about September 10Th,
by watch time the incidental changes
and arrangements Of the lease VIII have
been completed
The lease contract Is made by Receiver
Wolf and according 70 strict legal con-
structions can remain in force only so
long as the receiver remains in charge
Of the affairs OF che road. Receiver
Wolf was appointed upon request OF the
holders OF the Midland bonds because
the interest coupons were not being paid.
Ire receivership lasts only till such time
as in the opinion OF the federal court the
affairs OF the road are in as good shape
as they can be put coupled with the as
sGranee that they viii remain that way.
The present lease Of the Midland 70 the
Frisco is simply an effort OF Receiver
WoLf to put the road upon the best pay
ing basis possible. II II IS found unsat-
isfacrory It can De dissolved, but if upon
trial it meets the approval Of the bond
holders, the arrangement can be made
permanent and the Frisco continue 20
operate the line and the receiver be dis
missed The Frisco viii not pay an out
right rental for the road. TIE constd-
Grafton IS 10 be governed BY the local
earnings Of the road or by the amount
Of business II adds 20 the Frisco freight
and passenger traffic.
There has been some talk that the
Frisco viii arrange TO use the Midland
yards and switches and run all passenger
trains 10 rhe Midland depot, but this is
not considered probable by the Midland
people although there ar. some move
ments which Indicate that all freight stuff
OF the FrfsCos viii be handled at the
Midland station houses on MoseIey ave-
nue.. All the Frisco passenger trains VIII
be run through TO ELS worth on the
Union Pacific on about the same time Of
arrival and departure here as now in
force. However. not all the details have
been arranged and VIII not be completed
until about cte 1st OF September.

BUSINESS MEMS ASSOCIATION
The officers and Board Of Directors
Elected-PrOspects Good for Some
Practical Results to Follow.

Some Of Mexico's most prominent
citizens met at the City Hall on Tues
day night and organized a Business
Mems Association. There are 46
members OF this association and 1t is
to be hoped that the membership will
be at least 100 within a month.
The next meeting of the association
will be held Monday night at the City
Hall. All of our business men and
citizens are cordially invited to attend.
The membership fee Is %; dues 500
monthly.
O. R. Lupton was elected president
and v. o. P. King vice-president.
These two gentlemen were also elect
ed members of the board of directors
and president and vice-president Of
the same. Ten other directors were
elected, 5 for two years and 5 for one
year, as follows:
The 8 for two years are: ]. 7. Rick
etts, Ms. Myers, II. Jacobson, O. 4.
Shireman and r. M. White. The 5
for one year are: M. B. Guthrie, Geo.
Robertson, s. M. Locke, ]. P. Kemp
and ]. W. Woodbridge. The board
elected 7. II. Marshall treasurer and
E. H. Garter secretary.
The meeting next Monday night will
adopt constitution and bylaws and
at which time President Lupton will
probably announce his various COM
mittees. The LEDGER feels al though
practical results will follow this organ
ization. The president has already
been in correspondence with factories,
which should be located in our city.

ried J. W. Ritenour, who survives.
The couple came to Missouri later and
have lived In Mexico for years. Mrs.
Ritenour had been a consistent NOM
Der of the Presbyterian church since
childhood and was in her more able
years a hard worker In church circles.
She was patient In her hardships and
generous In her pleasures. She never
overlooked an opportunity to be Of

Healthy. Happy Children

hohlbuJf huppy Cullutou
are those whose mothers have been,
and are healthy. The best intentioned
woman in the world will fall short Of
her duty to her children if she is wor-
ried and wearied with weakness and
sickness. Most all irritable women are
sick women. Most all melancholy,
listless, ianguid women are sick
women. Every woman who will take
the trouble to notice, will find that at
certain fixed periods she is nervous,
cross, irritable and respondent. ANY
irregularIty makes the conditions
worse. Even a well woman lie less
amiable than usual at these times.
What can be expected from q sick
woman2 When every movement is a
dreary drag, when the nerves are all
on edge in sympathy with the particu-
lar ones affected-when IL seems that
death were very much preferable to
~living-what ean a woman do for
children then?
1t is every woman's duty to be
well and healthy. There Is no reason
why she should be otherwise II only
she will take proper care Of herself
and take DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription when she needs 1t. This
celebrated remedy has been used In
Invallds' Hotel and Surgical Institute
