$4,000. Reward Offered.

MEXICO, Nc 27.-The slayer of
Edward Reed, the wealthy stock
man who was mysteriously killed
the night of May 10, has never
been apprehended, and today a
number of citizens met here and
subscribed sufficient money to en-
gage a detective for thirty days to
assist the local police in their eff
forts to unravel the mystery.
The coroner's jury returned a
verdict that Reed met his death at
the hands of unidentified parties
who were attempting to rob him.
Edward Reed was discovered on
Saturday morning, May ii, in the
yard of Mrs. Marian Ross, almost
dead, az the result OF what was
evidently been a most vicious at
tact. His skull was fractured, he
was suffering from internal injuries
and his whole body was a mass of
COMMISSIONS. He lived but a short
time and did not regain conscious
ness.
The yard in which he was found
was large, and the spot where he
lay was over 100 feet from the side
walk, where he must have been
attacked.
Four thousand dollars in rewards
arc offered for the apprehension
and conviction of Reeds slayer or
slayers.

YOUR BOY.

"Oh, where is my wandering
boy tonight" Take a look down
the street about 10 or II o'clock.
Notice the signs being torn down,
boxes overturned, stones being
hurled through windows, shutters
pried open. Who are these types
of unmitigated public unisances?
"What!" you exchaim, "my boy
there?" We do not say so, but
since he is not at home suppose
you look and ascertain, and it is
possible you may be surprised.
Somebody's boys are there and
we ask, whittier is the tendency
and ultimate result of these night
ramblings and such doing? A few
words will suffice as an answer.
They are in the training school of
vice from which are graduated
hoodlums, loafers, gamblers
sheak thieves, burglars, and in
fact all the crimes that curse So
ciety and yet parents and guar
dians will unthinkingly permit
those whose future well-being is
in their hands, to run night after
night in unrebuked and unre-
strained companionship with those
whose example and influence is
continually in the direction of evil.
To this laxity of home restraint,
more than to all other causes, is
due the appalling increase of
crime throughout the nation. No
boy is safe who is allowed access
to the streets at night.

A GOOD DAUGHTER.

There are other ministers of
love more CONSPICUOUS than a good
daughter, but none in which a
gentler, lovelier spirit dwells, and
none to which the hearts warm
requitals more joyfully respond.
She is the steady light of her faith
er's house. Her idea is indissol-
ubly connected with that of his
happy Preside. She is the morn
ing sui and evening star. The
grace, vivacity and tenderness of
her sex have the place in the
mighty sway which she holds over
his spirit. The lessons of recorded
wisdom which he reads with her
eyes comes to his mind with a
new charm, as blended with the
beloved melody of her voice. He
scarcely knows WEAKNESS which
her song does not make him for
get, OF gloom which is proof
against the young brightness of
her smile. She is the pride and
the ornament of his hospitality
and the gentle nurse of his sick
mess, and the constant agent of
&hose nameless, numberless acts
of kindness which one chiefly
cares to have rendered because
they are unpretending but ex-
pressive acts of love.

MILLER & WORLEY,
Base Ball.

Sunday, May 26th the Montgom-
cry ball team was again defeated,
the score being 5 to 8. This time
it was the st. Louis Renkels. Our
team was about as weak as the
previous Sunday when she was
defeated by the Arcades. Shack
elford was the twirler for Mont
gomery and did good work. Rich
ardson of ST. Louis who caught for
Montgomery seemed to have an
off day and did not catch as good
a game as when they played the
Leonards. While the Renkels are
about the second best team out of
st. Louis, and r eve stronger
than last season., Montgomery
thinks che can beat them with her
regular team, anyhow they are
going to have another try at them
July ID.
The crowds have not been as
large rs they should be, neither
has the weather been very favor
able for ball playing. Montgom-
cry has not had much encourage
nent nor a very good chance to
show what she could do. Go out
Sunday, if you enjoy the great
American game, and encourage
the boys.
Shack struck out 6 men and
allowed 8 hits, Hoffmeyer 13 with
9 hits. Shack gave 2 men bases
on balls and hit 2 batters.
The only double play of the
game was made by Montgomery
Shack to Ham to Sharp.

will play the Ceptury's of st,

BILE are those who will not work.
Get you a home. Fence a field
and pillow it and plant it, and
gather around you the comforts
of . home. And when you have
made \ character for industry and
thrift. ask some lady to share
your home with you. We would
say to every young lady, mark
these m who are lounging around
attempting to live by their wits,
or on the interests of their debts;
and when they ask you to share
the lot of an aimless life, pass
them on, for you cannot afford to
marry a man without prosperity
orbusiness habits, unless you wish
to sell yourself for a mess of pot
tage. Again we would ~reiterate,
young man, go to work; while ten
men watch for chances one man
makes a chance: while ten men
waits for something to turn up one
turns something up; while ten
men fail, one succeeds, and is
called the man of luck, the favorite
OF fortune. Luck and fortune are
the result of honest endeavor,
work and toll, and if yon would
win, go to work!

SUGGESTIONS FOR HUSBANDS.

Do not jest with your wife upon
a subject in which there is danger
of wounding her feelings, Re-
member that she treasures every
word you utter. Do not speak Of
some virtue in another mans
wife to remind your OWE of a fault.
DO not reproach your wife with
personal faults, for, if she has
sensibility, you inflict a wound
difficult to heali Do not treat
your wife to inattention when in
company; it touches her pride,
and she will not respect you more
OIL love you better for it. Do not
ppbraid your wife in the presence
of a third person.; the of
your disregard for her feelings
will prevent her from ackno wledg-
ing her fault. Do not entertain
your wife with praising tine beauty
and accomplishments of other
women. If you would have a
pleasant home and a cheerful
wife, pass your evenings under
your own roof. Do not be stern
and silent in your own house and
remarkable for sociability else
where.

a races, and played various
games. In the evening they jour-

ate their supper and from where
they started for their homes, n
joying a good old-time hay ride

A SAD
Capt. John C. Mohrstadt, Formerly
of this County Kills Himself
in St. Louis.

John G. Mohrstadt, ~ years old,
committed suicide Thursday, May
%, about 2 O'Clock p. M, at his
home, 3945 McRee avenue, from
dependency caused by Ill health.
The body was found by his wife,
who heard a pistol shot and rushed
up to the second floor, where she
found her husband lying on the
floor of his room. By his side was
an old-type Al Colts revolver. A
wound showed that he had placed
the weapon in his mouth and fred
a shot which ranged upward into
his brain. Doctors A. w. Flem-
ing, of 923 Manchester avenu and
E. Ryan, of 1904 Folsom avenue,
were called, but Mr.. Mohrstadt
died before they arrived.
On May t6 Mohrstadt and his
wife celebrated the golden ami
versary of their wedding at the
home of their daughter, Mrs.
Theodore Wuthenow, 4339 McRee
avenue. All of the members of
the family, which is large, were
present, and Mr.. Mohrstadt seemed
in good spirits. He had been
suffering for sometime from loco
motor ataxa, and vas being treat
ed by DR.. John H. Simon. His af-
fliction. caused him to become des-
pendent at times, and this is given
as the cause for the deed. The act
was carefully planned and Mr..
Mohrstadt announced to his wife
that he was going to his room to
rest awhile. 1t was a few minutes
later that she heard the shot.
The deceased has been a resident
of st. Louis since 1857, with the
exception of four years, during
which he served as a captain of
the 5th Missouri cavalry during
the civil war. He was born in
Muehlhausen, Thuringia, in 1884,
and came to this country in 1862.
The trip to this country was made
with the intention of travel and
pleasure, but he met Miss Justina
Schroeder, a native of Dantzig,
Germany, in Cincinnati, and the
marriage followed. They came
from Cincinnati to st. Louis, where
they has resided continuously
since.
Capt. Mohrstadt is survived by
a widow and Ave children, one
daughter and four sons. They
are Mrs Theodore Wuthenow,
4339 Mckee avenue; Emil M. of
Dexter, Mo-. Adolph, Mardianna,
Ark; Charles E., 4162 Shaw Ave-,
and Oscar, 450S Gibson avenue
Globe Democrat.
Mr.. Mohrstadt lived in Mont
gomery county a few years ago.
He owned and lived on the Jacob
See farm, and was quite promin-
ent in Republican politics here.
He was also secretary ofthe Mont
gomery County Insurance COM
pany, and it is singular, but never
theless a fact, that the gentleman,
Mr.. Wright Smith, who succeeded
him as secretary died the same
day at Jonesburg that Mr.. Moh-
rstadt died in St. Louis. They
were both old friends. Mr.. Smith
was public administrator of this
county at the time of his death.
