Publish the Assessment Lists.

EHUul tuu ObAuAADih AlCAotAs
The johnson county court, sitting as
q board Of equalization, has determin-
cd to publish the entire personal as
sessment list in some county news
paper. 1t thinks publicity will do
much toward preventing erroneous
assessments. The Marshall Inder
warmly commends this action and
urges the Saline county ccnrt to do
likewise. On the other hand, the
Sedalia Democrat, hearing that the
Pettis county court has under con-
sideration the same plan, opposes it
vigorously. The Democrat thinks
such publication would not accomp-
lish the desired end but would "bring
pain, humiliation and possibly a
serious loss to many worthy poor"
The credit OF many poor men would
be injured, it thinks, IL such publica.
tion were made.
We believe the johnson county
court is right. For years this paper
has advocated the publication of the
assessment lists. A law providing for
such publication has been enforced in
Illinois and has been effective agent
for the increasing OF revenue and the
removal Of inequalities in taxation.
The tax-dodgef may often be reached
by publicity when no other method
will find him out. Evil-doing Of all
sorts breads exposure.

a MUSICAL PRODIGY.
A Child of W. Il. Miller, Formerly Of
This City, Rivals Blind Tom
as q Musician.

The Overland Monthly, q magazine
published at San Francisco, contains
a lengthy article In reference to the
wonderful musical powers of Valen-
tine, the seven year old blind son of
Mr.. and Mrs. W. II. Miller, who we're
once residents of Mexico aud who will
be remembered by many persons here.
Mr.. and Mrs. Miller and their SONS
live at Uklah, CAL, and their little
boys fame is even greater than that
Of Blind Tom. He plays with ease and
skill on the piano, violin, harp, either,
guitar or banjo and he never forgets
or leaves out q note. Little Valen-
tine is pronounced by competent ex-
perts the most wonderful prodigy Of
the age.
CHAIRMAN Kittredge, the writer oi
the article In the Overland Monthly,
says in one Of the paragraphs:
"Valentine Is the younger of the
two boys born TO Mr.. and Mrs. Miller
and both are blind from birth. Noted

powered.

MARSHALL, Mo, April 26.-Two Of
the most notorious inmates Of the
Saline County jail, enc under 9 sem
tence OF ten years to the State Peui-
tentiary and the other former con-
vict, escaped from the custody of the
Sheriff tonight, after assaulting him
and shooting his wife, who attempted
to resist their escape. Sheriff Joseph
Wilson, who resides with his family ct
the jail, was locking up the cells OF
the prisoners, accompanied by his
Oldest boy, George, when two OF the
prisoners, John Smith, q negro under
ten-year sentence to the peniten-
tiary, and Minden Chewagoo, an
Indian recently arrested on q charge
Of burglary and larceny, assaulted the
Sheriff, throwing him to the floor.
His revolver was wrenched from his
grasp. He called for his son to run
and bolt the outer door. The boy was
grabbed, however, and hurled back
before he could make his escape.
The jail-breakers rushed for the
front stairway, to be confronted by
the Sheriff's wife, who proposed to
resist their escape. The Indian, who
carried the revolver taken from the
Sheriff, fred upon the woman, the
ball passing through the upper part
OF her left arm. They rushed past
her, down the stairway and out the
front door into the street, making
their escape, pursued by passing citi-
zens and others who had heard the
cries of alarm given. All deputies
that can be mustered are being sent
out to capture the jail-breakers, and
telegraphic descriptions Of the men
have been wired all surrounding
towns. Should they be captured to-
night, while the crowds upon the
street are yet excited, the criminals
would probably suffer violence at the
hands of their captors.

Scharw enka's Coming Visit.
Urban Welmer has received letter
from Herr Scharwenka's daughter
which states that ct the time of writ

weeks previous. He had been taken
Ill while conducting an opera. It is

In an interview, President Milliou,
Of Hardin College, said:
"Herr Scharwenka was to have

AN ALTON ACcoMMODAT1OE.
There Will Be a Train Put on Between
Mexico and Bloomington, Ill,
in the Near Future, So It
is Reported.

The Chicago & Alton could not
make more popular addition to their
time card than the one said to be in
contemplation at the present time.
The change, the arrangement OF
which is nearing completion, is to
establish new train between Mexico
and Bloomington, III.
The report comes from Roodhouse
that the new time card will 60 into
effect at noon Sunday, April 20.
When seen by LEDGER reporter
this morning, q. 8. Wilson, local
agent of the o. q A., said that the
new service had been contemplated,
but that he had received no official
notice that the new schedule would
90 into effect next Sunday. "How-
ever" said Mr.. Wilson, "the change
will be made within a few weeks"
The reported plan Of the new train
10 that 1t will leave Mexico for Bloom
ington at Ga. M; Roodhouse win be
reached at $3.50 and Bloomington at
12.40. This will give time at Bloom
ington for the transfer Of passengers
and baggage for the northbound lin
ited for Chicago, which arrives ten
minutes later.
This arrangement will make q day
trip to Chicago possible and win be
greeted with satisfaction. AS for the
local advantages they will be largely
increased, as one may go from Mex
loo to points between here and the
river In the morning aud return at
noon or on the return train from
Bloomington. The reported time of
the returning train is, leaving Bloom
ington at $40 p, m, ten minutes
after the Chicago train reaches there.
The time at Roodhouse win be 8p. m.
and the train will arrive in Mexico at
9p. m,
At present there is no passenger
train arriving in Mexico over the
Alton from the east from 1:08 p. m.
until 2 a. m. and the evening train
will greatly accommodate the travel
ing public.
From the tone of the report re-
eeived from Roodhouse there Is little
doubt but that the new train will be
put on next Sunday. The advantages
both to the travelling public and to
the business men OF Mexico is too
evident to need comment.

Correspondence Of the Ledger
RowENA, Mo-, April 25.-As / have
written several articles for the LED
GER and they got safely past the waste
basket l Will try it again. moved
here from Johnson county, Iowa, in
the spring Of 1898 and am asked many
questions about farming and why the
land was selling there from $50 to
e75 per acre, which I viii try to ex-
plain.
There are two reasons for the land
to be high in price. The farmers
there take pride in improving their
farms; they have good fences and
buildings. Their barns are built con-
venient and suitable for sheItering all
Of their stock, and room above the
stock for storing all the rough feed
that is raised on the farm; and be-
sides q good barn they have good
houses 10 live In and convenient out
buildings, such as corn cribs, machine
sheds, hog stables, smoke house, sum-
mer kitchen, etc.
By hauling the feed all home and
feeding In the stable or . close yard
10 win accumulate big lot Of manure,
which is applied to the land every
year; and besides this they seed down
some land to clover and plow up
some sod and keep rotating that way
every year, and by that process get
their land In q very rich state Of fer
tilIty, and when they SOW or plant
anything 1t twill get up and dust"
(like our saddle horses) so the chinch
bugs or any other pest scarcely ever
gets Q foothold, and the consequences
are they are almost sure Of from
thirty TO sixty bushels to the acre, ,and
corn from forty to one hundred
buahelg.
Each farmer has some carpenters
tools and when rainy day comes he
is kept busy at such work as making
single trees, double trees or repairing
other farming articles.
While in Iowa / never knew Of
grown men playing marbles; that was
thought to be children's play. l do
believe that rolling marbles is hurting
some farms more-or, In other words,
keeping the farms from improving
than any other unnecessary habit.

man shall receive his own reward
according to his own labor."-I Cor

saloon at Rosenberg avenue and
Church street, opposite the post of1ice
and the customs house, q girl named
Marguerite Connette was put up at
auction on Monday night and sold for
$40. The local papers to-day pub
lished detailed accounts of the trans
action.
Mayor Jones, Chief OF Police Ket-
chum and United States Immigration
Inspector Levy have the case under
consideration, and arrests win follow.
Maj. Levy Is in possession of informa-
tion showing that from Liege, Belgium,
and Paris, France, women are shipped
under contract to this country, and
that there is q regular circuit em-
bracing New York, Chicago, Denver,
Helena, Mont; Portland, Ore; San
Francisco, Los Angeles, Ell Paso, Gal
weston, New Orleans and Savannah,
over which the women travel.
The Connette woman was under
contract to q Frenchman Of this city !.
he was desirious of going TO Paris,
and on Monday sold out his goods and
chattels, including the woman. The
Gale was Witnessed by several dozen
persons. The girl wept and bemoaned
her fate when she was turned over to
her new owner.
The police say this species of traffic
in human beings is .widespread, and
is assuming proportions that viii
necessitate most stringent action.
