.ELKS SESSION CLOSE
WITH BALL LAST NIGHT

The meeting of the State Elks in
this city to organize State AS
sociation closed last evening with a
ball. Quite a number of the dele
gates remained and the evening was
a most successful one.
The meeting here, next year, has
been set for June 16 and II. There
will be fully 1000 Missouri Elks in
attendance and Mexico will do every
thing in her power to maintain her
past reputation as convention city
One of the most interesting talks
made at the preliminary meeting
here was a few well spoken word
by Hamp Rothwell, of Columbia, who
stated Mexico should have the first
meeting having started the move
ment for the association. As a result
Moberly and sedalia both withdrew
their invitations, stating they coult
wait until another time believing
Mexico deserved the meeting first.

S.P. EMMONS MAKES
STATEMENT ON LINE

S. p. Emmons, chairman OF the
committee appointed at the ciu-
zens' meeting at the Court House, to
take charge of the matter Of secur-
ing subscriptions for bonds to IL
nance the electric railrcad, gives out
the following statement:
"our committee have had several
meetings with Mr. Burns and others
and have gone over the entire prop
osition now before the people care
fully, Have investigated the bonds,
and the mortgage that is TO be CIV
en- to secure the bonds, have exam
ined the subscription blanks that are
to be subscribed, the method OF
making the payments, and the con-
tract that will be filed with the sub
scriptions.
1--WE urgently request each OF
these gentlemen to so arrange ms
affairs that he can devote a few
days to this work and we also re-
quest that each citizen speedily
make UP his mind how many bonds
he will subscribe for and not put
committeeman to the trouble of cali
ing a second and third time.
eve urge upon all the Importance
of closing up this work promptly as
Mr. Burns informs us that he has
his arrangements made for begin
ming work here next month If we
are ready.
And we are convinced that the
proposition as whole is an honest
and practical one. That the sub
scribers will have the road, mile at
a time, before they pay their money
that the bond issue will be limited to
5000 per mile and that II the
road can be built and equipped Tor
less than that sum that the bond
issue will be less, and that the peo-
pie who buy these bonds will have
the very best security for their
money that 1t is practical to give
them.
1--WE believe that In consideration
of the benefits to be derived from
the road and from the location
of the power-house, car
shops and general offices Of the
Company at Mexico that Mexico
ought to subscribe for the amount
allotted as her share and we urge
every citizen who has the prosperity
Of the town at heart to subscribe
what he can towards financing this
road. Having the power to enlarge
our committee, we have added thu
following members to the list: J.. H
Lane. John Kemp, Geo. Hall, Ed
win Locke, ]. C. Mundy, Judge J
la Guthrie and John X. Brown.
