The above squib is being published
throughout the State and Is without
any foundation at all. There are not
half a dozen people in Mexico who
would ~patronize anything like the
above. There may be a few cigarette
smoking dudes who would attend such
an entertainment, but they lack the
nerve. Mexico does not court any
such advertisement. 1t is disgusting

Prof. W. T, Carrington.

We take pleasure in presenting to
our readers this week a likeness Of
Prof. w. T. Darlington. Prof. Gar.
rington was born In Galloway county,
Jan. %, 1854. He is q direct decen-
dant of Paul Darlington, who was an
aide of General George Warrington
during the Revolutionary War. His
grandparents were among the early
settlers of Galloway county, having

settled there long before the state
was organized. Ellis early education
was acquired in the district schools in
the days of the "old blue back speller"
and 'rithmetic, 'riting and reading.
At the age of fifteen years he entered
Westminster College, where he rank
ed high as a student.
Prof. Darlington is well known to
the readers of the LEDGER, rs he was
superintendent of the Mexico Public
Schools for three years, where he
made a splendid record for himself.
Prof. Darlington ought to lead the
ticket in Audrain county as he is very
popular with the masses. 1t Is the
duty and should be the pleasure OF
every Democrat in Audrain county to
come out this fall and vote the entire
ticket from Supreme Judge to Con-

LET Us HAVE

There are a few papers and politi-
clans in Missouri, Democratic and Re.
publican, who try to leave the i'm
preston that Gov. Lon V. Stephens
has some hard feeling against the
management of the Stat Central Com
mittee. Some of these claim from
time to time that Stephens has not
scent in his check to tie State Com
mittee and that Chairman Cook Is out
Of humor with Stephens" as he did
not "put up" and that Stephens must
be mad or else he would "send in his
check". or course this kind of jabber
comes only from boodlers and blood
suckers who have been in the habit
OF having Mark Hanna, or someone
else s'put up" or "send in their check"
Az the LEDGER understands the cam
paign in Missouri, it is one of princi-
pie and not one Of Doodle. The DEM
ocrats of Missouri are for the Demo-
cratic ticket and Democratic platform
from principle and r not out for
the stuff. We hear entirely too much
about money and checks and Doodle.
The rank and file of the Democratic
party is supporting the ticket on &C
count of principle and not because
Gov. Stephens or any other citizen is
" is not putting up. In all PROBABLE
ty Gov. Stephens has spent more time
and q great deal more money in the
interest of the Democratic party than
all of those who abuse him along this
line. OF course there are disaapoint-
ed ofice-seekers who vilify Governor
Stephens; they viliied Gov. Francis;
they viliaed Gov. Stone, and they
vilify everyone who will not ''put up''
or give them q Job, regardless. Of
course such attacks On Gov. Stephens
may be expected from the Republi-
cans, but they come in bad grace
from Democrats II the midst of a
campaign. The impression that some
try to make that these howls come
from the management of the party
must be without foundation. No mar
Ia mo re anxious to have the State
Democratic ticket elected than is Gov
Stephens. There is no need of any
Misunderstanding among Democrats
who are interested in the support Of
the ticket. Every Democrat in the
state Of Missouri Is for the ticket
from Supreme Judge down to Consta.

nor, or any other Democrat, he should

thing for the Democratic party, I'M
less they get so much per day or a job
No man on earth could "put up

satisfy this class of boodlers and pot
house politicians. Every Democrat
should work unselHshly and untrue

ANOTHER DARING BURGLARY.

ANOTHER DARING BURGLARY.
After the capture of Boinay and Weeks
ana their sentence it was thought that
this town might be entitled to a short
period of rest from further public mel
Cion of crime. But it is apparent that
such was not to be the case. Fowls, In
spite of watchfulness, have been stolen
every few nights all through Daniels
Farms. 1t is said that between 200 and
300 have been taken in that neighbor-
hood and no one has yet been caught in
the act. A few weeks ago Wolcott
b ach had all his fowls taken. He felt
considerably stirred up about it, but
trouble. But Monday night. about 8
o'clock, some one knocked at his side
door. AS the hour was early, instead of
observing the usual precaution of chal-
longing the visitor, thinking it must be
some neighbor in need, Mrs Beach IN
bolted the door. Before she could shut
it two men forced the door and at the
point of pistols demanded money. One
of the men was unmarked but had cap
pulled down over his eyes. The man
who remained in the door was masked
and seemed afraid of recognition. Mr.
and Mrs Beach, seeing no way out OF the
matter, were compelled to comply with
their request, Mrs Beach being allowed
to go to her room and produce a purse
containing about $50, which they took,
and with threats hurriedly left the house
Two men answering to their description
were subsequently seen by two different
parties hurrying along the road towards
Bridgeport. AS soon as Mr. Beach could
he informed the neighbors, who went af-
ter Deputy Sheriff Plumb, and to Bridge
port. The matter is being looked up and
it is to be hoped that they will be found.
There was found the usual accompan:-
ment of such really cowardly deeds, a
whiskey bottle left empty under the
woodshed. A barrel, which had been
brought around near tie front window to
stand on to see under curtain, was
found. They evidently had made care
full examination as to who was in the
huusSi anu 40 w SnSh SOuksC VI aCblou.
Had the door not been unfastened and
Mr. Beach could have known their pres
ence for moment. he feels quite conf
dent that, although man OF advanced
years the tale NIGH. have been very diff
ferent. Ii is hard for some TO see how
two men could have run all that risk and
what Boinay and Weeks are suffering
