THwARTED AT THE BEGINNING
DAREDEVIL Dan Loses Clue to Paving
When Shower Washes Mud Over
Discovered Brick.

"Thwarted at the very beginning =
hoarsly circulated Dan, the sleutb,
who is known far and wide for his IA
nous feat Of tracing Barnum's circus
through the snow. When be went TO
follow the clue discovered Thurday,
Dan found that the early mornings
shower had washed dirt over the dis.
covered brick and the whereabouts of
the jefferson street paving was still a
mystery. Slipping on a pair Of rub
bers he erased the tracks made By him
the day previous and began the search
anew.
Dan was no coward; be had rubber
ed into the Jaws OF death and faced
an angry janitor; he had lost ever
cent in a crap game and bearded the
creditor in bis lair. A little thing
like a lost clue could not fare him.
He was In the game and intended 10
stay The limit. So as soon as another
clue Is laid BY the heels Dan win make
announcement Of the fact.

THE DATES CONFLICT.
Three Days Of the County Fair and

possible to Change Pair Date

Unless some change Is made Mexico
will have = Chautauqua and county
fair at the same time; two big shows
In one. The last three days Of the
Chautauqua-August q, p and g
are the first three days Of the connty
fair.
Owing to the inability OF the fair
directors to change their date, this
being on the short ship circuit, where
a change would seriously interfere
with the other dates, Mr.. G. E Stokes
who has charge OF the Mexico Chan.
qua, will doubtless remedy the trouble
by shifting that date.
Bowling Green and Centraiias who
with Mexico, compose the North
Missouri Short Ship Fair Circuit, /"
have already issued their catalogues,
In which the Mexico fair and its pro-
gramme is advertised. To change tie
fair date then would not only cut
Mexico of the circuit, but would
throw the fair at a bad time Of the
year and loose many valuable entries.
Mexico must and will have both the
Fair and the Chautauqua, but to have
them on the same date would serious
ly interfere with the business and
success Of both.

ARMY AND NAVY
DEE0UECE SHAW
Object to His Remark Hen With
Ideas Are Courtmartialed- Only
Joking, He Says

WAsHINeroS, May l7.-SecretarY
Shaw neglected to label as a Joke his
statement that officers OF the army
and navy have been court martialed
for having Ideas. To-day the Secre-
tAry stlted that be did not mean liter
ally that men In the army we're pun
ished for putting forth ideas. What
he meant to convey vas that the mill
tary services does not encourage its
officers and men 70 take the initia-
tive.
When they enter the service they
a yeideas and endeavof to have them
adopted. But after yainly trying to
bring this about, and after falling a
number Of times, they are no longer
troubled With ideas, but are willing 10
drift with the tide. Secretary Shaw
said bis statement was merely . fig
ure OF speech and was intended to be
made In a iocular Wien. But be aimed
too high, and he will never joke with
the army and navy again.
ARMY AND NAVY INDIGNANT.
The Secretary has been roundIy de.
nounced in army and navy circles for
his statement that q nan In the army
or navy with an idea was conrtmar.
tailed, and that the military service
paralyzed individual effort. None of
the officers Of either branch Of the
service would permit themselves pub
licly 10 criticize a member Of the Cab
met, but they did not hesitate to say
privately that Secretary Shaw isAbad-
~ mistaken, and that II he had made
an investigation he would not have
made bis unjust charge against the
army and navy.
II Is pointed out that il Is not true
that an Officer has ever been court
for having an idea; on the
contrary, some OF them have been re.
warded, q few OF them by making
fortunes out OF their ideas. They de-
that many OF the latest devices
now used 10 both the army and the
navy are the inventions Of officers
the Government Some Of
these Inventions have made the
American navy take the lead in many
respects, and cause the other powers %
'ome 70 America for IDEAS 20 improve
he effectiveness Of their armies and
iavieS and they are borrowing the
IDEAS Of army and navy officers.
