REED LEFT NEARLY $5OO.OOO
Made Money Fast in Law and Stock
Market but Owed His Brokers
$4,000.

EfbiL AAE WV lbfh
Ex-Speaker Thomas b. Reed left
s43l, ,099 in personal property in this
state alone, making no allowance fol
any real estate here or real and
personal property he may have left in
Maine. This information Is a good
deal oi a surprise even u mr.. Reeds
intimate friends, for at the time Of
his sudden death in Washington, Dec
last, there was an impression that
Mr.. Reed was in moderate circum-
stances.
Mr.. Reed made considerable money
from the practice Of corporation law
in this city after relinquishing his
residence in Washington. 1t also ap-
pears that Mr.. Reed after coming to
this city dabbled extensively in the
stock market, for at time Of his death
there was a balance due Moore &
Schely from him Of sl62, 170 which has
since been paid. 1t develops that
prior to his death Mr.. Reed had
severed his connection with the
law firm Of Reed, Simpson, Thacher &
Barnum.
At the time Mr.. Reed took up the
practice of law In this city he said his
principal reason for abandoning poll
tics was about time for him to earn
something for himself and his family.
How well be succeeded is shown by
the fact that his gross personal estate
foots up s629,533, according to the
Official appraisement which has Just
been completed. From this sum has
TO be deducted total indebtedness Of
s19s, ,s34.
Mr.. Reed left a widow and daugh-
ter, Katherine Reed. The latter re-
ceiyes nothing under her fathers will.
The entire estate goes TO the widow,
who will have TO pay tax Of "a 800 To-
the state.

5000 Acres Hinder Water

COLUMBIA, NO., June 3.-It is esti
mated that 5000 acres Of land in Boom
county are under water, because o.
the floods. Three hundred people ar,
temporarily homeless and the damage
in this county alone will amount tt
$780, 200. The Missouri is from foul
to seven miles wide along the Boone
county shore and is rising steadily. The
town OF Harrisburg is threatened with
backwater from the river. The Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Texas has abandon
ed all train service. The river bottom
has been abandoned by the farmers,
who are moving to the hills. The loss
Of live stock has not been very great,
as farmers took warning and moved
to the hills before the water got too
high. All of the small islands in the
river have been covered by water and
the houses washed away. The town
of McBaine, at the junction Of the
branch OF the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas, running from Columbia and
the main line, is almost submerged,
not building being out Of water, with
the exception OF the hotel and the
section house and the railway station.

A. HUGHES.
Writes the Ledger in Reference to the
Experience ofa Blind Man in Mex
leo.

To the Editor Of the Ledger
MEXICO, Mo-, June 9th. The sight
Of drunken man often brings the ris-
ibles 10 the cheeks Of the young and
sometimes those attached to the Gran
iums Of those Of more mature years.
But one such incident l, among hnn-
dreds witnessed yesterday in our fair
little city, rather brought tears than
laughter. A blind man, who, earlier
in the day solicited and obtained
many nickels from the generously in
cIined, was at the railroad station
preparatory to leave and ''dor some
other town, was intoxicated and OBJ
noxious to all with whom he
came in contact. His thirst for liq-
uor made him a nuisance and his
pleading, pathetic pleading and ten
der OF money to any one who would
lead him to the saloon was indeed a
pitiabie sight. But, dear LEDGER, j
had but one main idea in addressing
you this day upon this topic: wish
to tell your readers, especially the
younger ones, that this poor unfortu-
nate Bartimeus could get no one to
lead him thither for drink, and ! hon
or the boys, colored and white, who
spurned his money, and, like Peter
said to Simon the sorcerer, ''thy money
perish with thee 1t was indeed a
hopeful sign to see the manifestation
Of true principle displayed by the ur-
chins upon this occasion. And, Mr..
Editor, ] am loathe TO believe tnat
any saloon keeper would be guilty Of
selling liquor 10 blind man; i GER
tainly think said jag-essenee was Ghsi
tained through some Of the horny
whelps, black and white, who, for
drink, would commit almost any
crime from murder 10 theft. may
be mistaken, but do not think Mex
leo has a saloon-keeper who would be
so devoid Of manhood as 10 commit
such untoward act as TO add further 10
an unfortunate's condition as here in
dicated.
