TO MAKE MEXICO A CITY.
An Opinion Expressed to sebree q
sebree by . citizen Of Wells
ville-Had Heard Of
Sebree.

Messrs. sebrse q sebree, Mexico, Mo-;
WELLsvILLE, Mo, February LII
was In Mexico last week and heard Of
you, and l also read your ADVERTISE
ment in the Mexico papers. l have
also read Of a great many ways as to
how to build up Mexico and how to
build up trade at Mexico. From what
l have heard Think you have struck
about center on this subject, and that
is to sell goods at lower rates than
other towns and then people will reach
you and trade with you and the roads
will not be 60 much In the wey as has
been made to appear by the wise men
OF our city. Speaking In an ironical
way, Wellsville might trade a long
distance and In mcst any direction,
and 1 believe to sell q large amount Of
goods on small profits is better than
to cell only q little at a high price, and
think it has made Wellsville what she
is. Respectfully,
W. W. OoRNETT.

FOND OF CHILDREN.
Chicago Woman, % Years Old, Has
Had Seven in Three Years.

Chicago, ILL.,, Oct. 6-Three small ba-
bies with three small bottles were proud
ly exhibited yesterday at the home of
Mrs. Josephine Ormsby, 43S West For
tythird street. The combined weight of
the triplets is nine pounds. Carter Har-
rison and George Dewey are the names
of two. The third, q girl, is yet to be
named.
Young Carter, though but citizen of
Chicago since last Wednesday, possesses
the true Democratic instinct, and hits
the bottle with every tick of the clock.
Mrs. Ormsby has given birth to seven
children within three years. The twins
born last September weighed eleven
ounces each. The young mother attend
ed court the day before their birth and
was about her work five days afterward.
Though but % years old, Mrs. Ormsby
is her husbands senior She is very
pretty and exceedingly fond of children.
There was some unpleasantness be-
tween the parents a few months ago,
and the man packed his clothes, never to
come back, but the advent Of the triplets
brought him, beaming with fatherly
pride, back to the domicile last Sunday
night.
''He was so pleased he insisted on put
ting up the stove" said Mrs Ormsby.
''Then I knew he was in earnest. Oh,
he is young and foolish and hasn't sowed
all his wild oats, but he is doing right

DEWEY ACCEPTS.
Wants Place Where He Can Go

43 5000 Subscribers.

Washington, -. c.. Oct G.-Admiral
Dewey has elected to accept a house in
Washington, already constructed, in
stead of having one built for his occupa-
ton. In accordance with the invita-
ton Of the committee which has had in
charge the Dewey home work, he called
at the office of Acting Secretary Allen in
the navy department. at II o'clock today,
to indicate his preferences in the matter
Of residence. He frankly expressed
his qualification at the tender, which he
Immediately accepted. He said had the
proposed home been the gift of few
wealthy men, he should feel indisposed
to accept it. But he noted that the fund
had over $4,000 subscribers, indicating
that the home was to be really the gift
OF the American people, and as such he
would accept it with as much pleasure
as he had the sword bestowed upon him
by Congress. He wanted the house at
the earliest possible moment, SO that he
might go IN and hang up his hat at
once" as he put it. Of course that pre-
cluded the idea of erecting house TO
meet his special needs. He expressed his
ideas as to the character of the home he
desires, and asked that the house be mod
est enough IN appointments and cost to
permit of the retention of a sufficient
sum OF money from the purchase fund to
defray the expense of furnishing it.
The admiral is going to New York to-
night or tomorrow, and will stop over if
ne can to see the yacht race ON his way
to Shelburne Farms, Vermont. He ex-
poets to return to Washington in the
course of a week. Meanwhile. the house
committee, having invited written propo-
sails of properties, will go through the list
and hope to be able to present to the
admlral ON his return as many as half a
dozen avalla bic houses from which he
may make personal selection. The
fund at the disposal of the committee
now amounts to about $4,000

Vivor of the Cabinet of
President Lincoln.

Mount Pleasant, Ia, Oct 6-JameS
Harlan, former United States senator.
and secretary of the interior in the cabi-
net or President Lincoln, died here yes
terday. He was conscious to the last.
but unable to speak. A whispered good
by to his daughter, Mrs. Robert T. Lin
coin, was his last utterance News Of
his death caused profound sorrow in the
city, and the q. A. r. flag was hung at
half-mast. The district court has decid-
ed to hold memorial services.
Mr. Harlan was one of the great men
OF the state of Iowa and of the nation.
He was born August 26, 1920. His pa
rents settled in Parke county, Indiana.
where James spent his boyhood In 1871
he entered the university at Greencastle,

highest honors. He came to Iowa, and
IN 1916 began to study law in Iowa City

lie was admitted to the bar in 1S47. and
practiced law until 1857
He was nominated by the Wing party

cilned the nomination. In 1855 he was
elected United States senator to succeed
Senator Dodge. His first speech in the
Senate was made March p, 1856, on the
question of admitting Kansas to the
Union, and he at once established a rep
utatlon as an orator and logician. In
1860 he was reelected for six years, but
on March 10, 1860, he resigned his seat
to accept the position of secretary of the
interior in President Lincoln's cabinet.
President Lincoln had made the selec-
ton some months before, having pro-
found confidence and trust in Senator
Harlan, and having made him his ad-
wiser on many of the crucial questions
of war and reconstruction. He resigned
his portfolio in September, 1866, to re-
turn to the Senate
When Senator Harlan retired from
public life, being succeeded by Senator
Allison, he came back to the state which
had so honored him and took his place in
the hearts of the people. He became
known as 'Iowa's Grand Old Man"
But even with increasing years his use
fulness was not impaired He was the
most effective and powerful campaign
speaker Iowa ever had.
