The Lexington correspondent of the Odessa
Herald wrote last week :-"Hon. Alexander
Graves went to Washington City last week to
argue the case of the subscriptions of bonds
by Lexington township to the St. Joseph and
st Louis railroad, generally known Us the
Bob Taip road, now pending In the supreme
court. The argument was. heard and the
case submitted, and I suppose we will soon
learn the result. Though once desided in
favor of the township by Judge Krekel In the
district court, yet there is but little hope OF
success In the supreme court. That august
body, once clothed In the habiliments of JUS
tice before which 1t was believed every one,
even the humblest could obtain his rights, Is
now charged with leaning to the strong and
f1,a nf
the land. If SO. We can anticipate the result
and prepare to settle with the bondholders on
such terms as they may demand" His an
ticipations, we regret TO say, have not been
disappointed.
Our readers should bear in mind that on
Tuesday, Thursday aud Friday nights nsxt,
at Hagen's opera house, our amateur musici-
ans will present Balfe's romantic and pic
turesque opera, "The Bohemian Girl" It
will be placed upon the stage In first rate
style, and the music and voices will be far In
advance of what can be heard from the usual
professional small opera troupes. We cannot
often have opera in the country, and when
we do those who love music and the muse
should encourage it. Prof. Charles Gimbel
will be the musical director, and under the
direction of Miss Gould the singing and stage
work may be depended on to be we'll executed.
Miss Gould, In addition to her magnificent and
unique voice, is born actress, and she will
get out of her people al! that Is In them. The
| chorus Is very large and able. The cast of
characters is as follows: Count Arnheim,
Mr.. A. W. Smith; Thaddeus, Mr.. w. 81.
| Chiles; Florestein, Capt. j. D. Conner;
Devilshoof, Mr.. Fegert; airline, (altsrnate-
ly,) Miss Lula Martin, Miss Ella Pitts QUEEN
OF THE GYPSIEs, MISS JULIA F.
GOULD; Gypsies, Lords, Ladies, Soldiers,
sc. Misses NJ. Salmon, r. Petty, P. Shinn,
C. Kerr, E. Avery, E. Pitts, L. Martin,'L
Cameron, q. Dale, E. Bedford, l.. Herring,

Carrollton Record :-s'At meeting Of citi-
zsns of Lexington 1t was resolved to build .
$40, 900 hotel and various gentlemen subscrib-
ed from s500to $4,000 for that purpose. A
$40, 600 hotel will go long ways toward re-
lieving Lexington from the imputation of be-
ing sdead town. They will not get the hotel
before it is needed, If they had it now-as it
were." Softly, friend Record. Lexington Ia
no dead town. 1t is larger than Carrollton !;
has more manufactures; sells more goods
has incomparably better educational advan.

pavement; ten times as many fag-stone street
crossings; lights its streets with gas and has
other advantages which have cost labor anc
money. You must not think, because the
hopes have been disappointed which were
once entertained that this might be the place
at which the trade now concentrated at Kan
