The Hitching Racks.
To the Editor OF the Ledger
MEXICO, Mo-, September, IL, 1902,
During my week'sstay In ChlllicothC
at conference had ample opportunity
OF seeing the situation in that city
The first thing that arrested my at
tention was the striking contrast be.
tween the public square there and In
our own city. They have a beautiful
park in the center where the court
house formerly stood. The hitching
racks have all been taken away and
the square paved with hard brick cleal
up TO the edge of the grass hordar,
which is lined by a handsome stone
curbing. This hard brick paving
radiates in every direction one block
from the central square, which is kept
nice and clean, with no horse hitched
anywhere in sight.
Mexico with such an improvement
as this will look like another city, and
our public square will be the pride OF
the citizens, as it is in Chillicothe.
They told me the country people made
a strong protest against the removal
Of the hitching racks and threatened
to desert the town, but the mayor
and city council took the matter
brayely in hand and rid the city Of
this nuisance, providing hitching
elsewhere, and it was not long till the
country people we're well pleased
with the change.
They have no court house In Liv-
ingston county. The country people
want 1t put back in the center Of the
park and the city objects.
/ visited the Industrial School and
the Normal School, both ornaments
to the city. Allen Moore, principal
Of the Normal, is building one Of the
finest residences in the State. | don't
think 1t will cost less than sl5, 1000.
Our conference was royalty enter
tained by the citizens Of Chilllcothe,
and Mexico will have the opportunity
this fall Of emulatlng them In this
respect.
While there we had an object lesson
OF what one brave man can accom-
plish In a community. The city
council had resclnded an ordinance
prohibiting Sunday theaters, and Rev.
McVoy, the Southern Methodist
thundered from his pulpit
against the action of the council until
he created a public sentiment that
compelled the council to re-enact the
law prohibiting this Sabbath desecra-
tion. Let this be hint and a pointer
Tor the city Of Mexico.
was anxious TO have Rev. McVoy
appointed to Mexico station, but the
JhillicOthe people would not give
lim up. We have, however, a man
'omlng who is brave and capable.

COLD SNAP DAMAGES CROPS.
First Snow of the Season Falls in
Wyoming and Other North
ern States.

CHICAGO, Ill, Sept. 1.-THE first
snow Of the season and a widespread
frost, made to-day one Of special note
in the national weather records. The
snow fell at scattering points toward
the northern boundary Of the country.
There was a specially notable fall Of
snow in the northern part Of the
Black Hills, and at several points,
among them Bald Mountain, the
ground was covered with a white
blanket. Dispatches from Cheyenne
also state that snow fell In Wyoming.
No snow fall was reported 10 the
statistician In the Auditorium tower
this evening, but the temperature
figures sent in from many stations
showed such a drop from the day be-
fore that the Weather Bureau worker
in charge said the press reports were
doubtless accurate. The lowest point
reached by the mercury at any time
during the day was 30 degrees -freez-
ing point. This record was made at
Moorhead, Mimi, early in the day,
but by : O'Clock at that point il was
up to 46 degrees.
Professor Cox said that the heaviest
frost 50 far was falling this evening.
There have been two or three touches
Of frost before, but they were very
light and extended south only as far
as Sioux City ia the northern part Of
Iowa.
"There will be a heavy frost In
Minnesota and the Dakotas, and
light frost IN Wisconsin, Iowa and
said Professor Cox. ''The
heavy frost viii probably do damage
b the crops in the most nOrtherly
portions Of those states, and II viii
tend 10 retard the maturing Of the
sornrin Nebraska, Iowa and Wlscon-
