CAN'T POsT-OFFICE TROUBLE
Postmaster BOtkin Says he Is Trying
to Accommodate ell PatrOns-Mr.
Wilson's Statement.

Lyeurgus Botkin, the recently APP
pointed postmaster at CAN'T, called at
the LEDGER office q few days ago and
told his side Of the story Of the trouble
over the postmastership at that place.
MIR. Botkin did not seem to be dis
turbed over the matter and talked
in q cool, rational manner. he ex-
planned that he was trying to treat
everybody right and give the best
service possible at the p~ost-ofice,
which he was compelled to move from
CAN'T to his residence because there
was no building in the village where
he could establish himself. Mr.. Botkin
says he offered to erect q small house
for the purpose, but could not get the
ground. He says h~fty-seven families
received mail from him last week, in
stead Of 1--WE or six, as has been here
tofore stated would remain patrons,
and that he viii do his utmost to &C.
commodate all.
Charles Wilson, q Republican who
gets his mail at CAN'T, called at the
LEDGER office Monday and paid for
his paper. Mr.. Wilson took occasion
to state that he considered Mr. Botkin
an honest, Straightforward man and,
In his opinion, there had been consid-
erably more fuss kicked mp over the
matter than there was any necessity
for, and he hoped and thought the
rumpus would soon die out.
The LEDGER as yet has heard Of no
complaint from Democrats Of the
CAN'T neighborhood. The row seems
to be between the Republicans them
selves, as far as we have been able to
learn.

SHE FOUND HER BROTHER.
Through the Medium Of the Ledger,
Mrs. Lovely Locates Charlie Dol
plus, for Whom She Was
Looking.

As related exclusively in Tuesdays
LEDGER, Mrs. Lizzie Lovely, a comedy
young matron, residing at 1913 South
Sixth street, ST. Louis, arrived in
Mexico Monday 10 quest Of her sister
and brother, Mamie Dolphus, aged II,
and Charles Dolphus, IA years old.
Success has crowned Mrs. Lovely's
efforts to find the children 80 closely
bound to her by ties Of consanguinity,
and she aacribes a large measure Of
this success to the article which APP
peared in the LEDGER with reference
to her search.
A prominent resident OF this city,
upon reading the article referred to,
recalled having heard a boy enqulring
for mail at the postotice in the name
Of Charles Dolphus, and at once found
Mrs. Lovely and told her Of the occur
renee. She Immediately repaired to
the postofice, where the Information
was disclosed that her missing brother
made his home with Mrs. Hendrix,
q widow residing some miles north Of
Mexico. A visit to the Hendrix
homestead amply satisfied Mrs. Love-
ly that the youngster could NOT have
fallen into better hands and that he
was happy and contented.
Young Doiphus came to town to-
day and he and Mrs. Lovely were
photographed together, the likeness
betokening the fact that the brother
and sister we're o%verioyed at being re-
united, as the photograph presents
two countenances wreathed in smiles.
Charlie told his sister that he had
been corresponding with their sister,
Mamie, several months and that she
was living at Winona, Mo.
Mrs. Lovely will shortly proceed to
the place where the little girl is living
and will doubtless take her sister to
Ut. Louis, where the child may reside
with Mi. and Mrs. Lovely.
As Charlie seems oontented, his
oluer SISTER nas decided 10 let him re-
main with Mrs. Hendrix.
The following facts we're ELECTED
from Mrs. Lovely by q reporter for
the LEDGER: The parents Of the
children were divorced a few years
ago and Mrs. Dolphus subsequently,
married again and died shortly after
ward Soon after her mothers Sec
ond marriage Miss Lizzie DoIphus was
married to Mr.. Lovely. The step
father of the children placed them in
the Baptist Home at So. Louis soon
after their mother died and two years
ago the little boy va secured a homo
here and eight months since the little
girl was sent to her present abode.
