BURGLARS ROB, THE
f. A. DEAR|NG STORE

AS climax to the many robberie:
and attempted robberes which nav.
been committed in Mexico within tht
last two weeks, the E. A. Dearins
JeEelry Store on the East side of the
square was entered Monday night anc
several hundred dollars worth of Jew.
elry and cut glass stolen.
Mr.. 'Dearing opened the store about
8 o'clock Tuesday morning and dis
covered that the show cases were all
open. On further investigation he
found the work desk priced open and
a number of articles left there for
repairs, missing. How many or just
what they are, Mr.. Dearing is unable
to tell at present.
He then discovered some of his
watches, cut glass and a clock were
missing. He notified the city officers.
The officers were unable to find out
how the burglar had effected an en-
trance until they tried to unlock the
front door with a skeleton key and
found that it would open easily. This
leads them to Believe that the robber
knew something about the building
before he attempted to get in. The
windows and other door had not been
tampered with.
No trace of the burglar has been
found so far. The following articles
have been missed by Mr.. Dearing who
says he probably will find more when
he makes an invoice:
A Howard watch, II jewel, IS size;
IA inch Sheffield Tray, Grape Design;
'ut glass water pitcher; cut glass
'ruit bowl; gentleman's Swiss brace
ct watch; ladies' Swiss bracelet |
watch; ladies' nickel Swiss watch;
welve pieces of silver; tea spoons, |

e fork, salad fork and other articles.

vas also stolen.

THE MEXICO NEW HOSPITAL.

i FOR forty-three years the Mexico
Ledger has been advocating a hospita
for Mexico, and we are delighted &c
know that Mexico in the future vii
be famous for its hospital advan-

having two first class hospitals both
of them crowded with business.
Most of the things that the Ledger

fcre we go "over the top" for the last

PRESIDE Mt JOHN w. MILLION

BEGINl IING with the next school
year, Ex-l President John W. Million
of Hardin College will again be pres
ident of that institution. While Pres
ident Million has had many attract
i've offers to head other schools, the
more he thinks about the matter the
better pleased he is with good old
Mexico, Missouri, and Hardin College,
one of the best schools for girls in
the United States.
The election of President Million
does not in any way disturb the ar
rangements which now maintain at
Hardin College. This institution is
having a most prosperous year and the
outlook for it's growth and prosperity
was never better. The election of
President Million at the head of this
institution causes no friction, but is
done with the cordial and unanimous
consent of all who are interested.
The Ledger joins the people of-EIex-
leo generally in welcoming President
Million to his old job, and we trust
that he will make the presidency of
this institution his life work.

Following is the report made by the
A'ddrain County Grand Jury Wednes-

We, the Grand Jury, beg leave to
report that in visiting the different
County Institutions, state that in cur
inspection of the County Jail, we find
its condition neat, clean and sanitary
as far as the condition of the building
will permit. The walls of the build
ing are cracked on all sides, and the
building not adequate to meet the
necessities of the County's demand,
and we recommend all necessary re-
pairs.
We also recommend that a new floor
be laid in both Railways on the first
floor of the Court House, and that
screen doors be put up at the four en-
frances to the Court House, and all
the lower half of the windows of the
different offices be screened. We fur
ther recommend that a vault be made
in the collectors office for the books
of that office
We, the Grand Jury, beg leave tc
make the following report:
We visited the County Infirmary
and examined the buildings and found
that the Infrmary leaked in several
places and needs immediate attention
otherwise it was in very good repair
except the outside woodwork needs
painting. A well in the yard is need
ing new top and pump. Other build
ings are in very good repair.
The Matron seems to be taking good
care of the house and the inmates say
she gives them plenty to eat.
