executive for Withholding his ap,

the Insecure ana unwise character OF

SECOND HoLD-up.
Mrs. Herndon, New Miliiner In Full
ton, Heldup and Robbed of So
in Front Of Methodist
Church.

FULTON, Mo-, March 16.-Mrs. ]. L.
Herndon, trimmer for the new millin-
er, Miss Chandler, was held up In
front Of the Methodist church at 1920
O'Clock Tuesday evening by a negro
man and robbed Of her purse and six
dollars.
Mrs. Herndon had been working
late at the milllner store TO get every
thing In readiness for the formal open
ing of the store the next day. She
started for her room at Homer Rood's
on Court street at l0:l5 o'clock and
was walking along in front OF the
Methodist church when a man sud-
denly stepped out Of the darkness and
at the point of pistol told her to
hold up her hands, turn over her purse
and not to scream or he'd shoot her.
Mrs. Herndon got to her room some
way--she dosn't know how, and fell In
faint. She was overcome with fright
and has been in Mysteries ever since.
Mrs. Herndon had recently come here
from st. Louis and is stranger to
most of the people Of the town. She
will return to her home as soon as she
| is able.
This makes the third holdup or rob.
berry In the past two weeks.

TRAIN KILLS GOOD HORSE
AT UNION DEPOT CROSSING
]. D. Miller's Dray Wagon is Struck
by a Wabash Train While at
tempting to Cross Tracks.

The black team owned and used by
]. d. Miller on bis transfer wagon was
struck by a Wabash engine Friday
afternoon about O'Clock at the depot
crossing. One horse was instantly
killed; the other, breaking loose from
the harness, escaped with slight In
juries.
A row Of freight cars were onthe sid
ing, shutting Off from the view OF the
driver the approaching engine. The
horse was dragged past the water tank
at the west end Of the platform, fully
400 feet.
Every caution should bo exercised
when crossing the tracks at this point.
The noise of two or three engines in
the yards is sufficient to drown that OF
an incoming train, which, at times,
cannot be seen for cars on the side
track.

"It is ali very we'll to keep up ap-
pearances and to put the first foot
foremost" says the editor OF the
Houston Democrat, "but this thing Of
bringing up children to think that
they must always be dressed up and
look like children Of wealthy parents
when the parents are in very moder-
ate circumstances, is the cause Of a
great deal of misery. Indulgent par
ents find too late that their course has
resulted in inculcating love OF dis
play and a contempt for work and
common things. The boy or girl who
believes the main aim in life is the
requirement of money or the wearing
of fine clothes is In rather dangerous
position when the parents are toe
poor to satisfy the demands Of theil
fastidious fancy. Poor people should
teach their children that there is nj
disgrace in wearing poor clothes ant
II they want better they must get ou1
and hustle for them"

THE Mexico LEDGER has no choice
as to the site for the proposed Carne-
gle library. The library should be
centrally located, II possible. We have
suggested Hardin Park, because we
thought that site available. II possi-
BILE site should be secured where IL
could be easily reached by all Of our
people. The writer was in Indiana a
few weeks ago, and visited several
prominent towns, and found that the
Carnegie libraries were the 'show"
places. Don't let us fall out about a
site. The citizens have to furnish the
site and have to maintain the library.
Mr.. Carnegie will furnish the money
for the building. Simply because we
cannot get the library located just
where we want it is no reason for op-
posing the enterprise. Building
ing libraries must be by people who
work In an unselfish way for the good
Of the community. Those who think
that there are not fifty people In Mex
leo interested in library are mis-
taken, or the writer does not under
stand the feeling Of our citizens. Mr..
Carnegle's library might not make for
anybody any money, but 1t would be a
grand thing for Mexico, and all who
are interested in its permanent
growth. You cannot get results along
this line II you start out by trying to
get the "best Of it," or by trying to
make money. Making money is not
the highest aim Of people who build or
maintain Libraries or promote enter
prises of that character. The library
might be built on the city lot next to
the city hall.

Tuus CITY should make better al

THIS city should make better ar
rangements for reaching fires in the
dead of night. In the day time there
are many teams available but when
night comes these are put away and at
some hours OF the night there are no
teams to be had quickly. Chas. Craig's
home, scarcely three blocks from the
fire department, was totally destroyed
Wednesday night and when the fire
company arrived they we're of little use
except for the protection OF surround
ing property. The men of the depart
ment are untiring In their duty and
give the best Of service at all times,
but the trouble lies with the facilities
for reaching a fire at night. Stalls
might be built In the building and
horses quartered there during the
night, the harness could be hung from
an apparatus that would drop 1t In
place quickly. Sleeping space for two
men might be arranged and their duty
would be to see that the horses we're
hitched and read TO go when a certain
number of the company had arrived.
This would be very little additional
expense for the city and would enhance
the fire protection much indeed
