THE PUBLIC o
Opened Last Tuesday With a Large
Attendance.

Lexington is proud of her colleges.
They attract students from a distance,
and their greatness is duly appreciated.
But the colleges don't get all the praise,
nor do they deserve 1t. Our public schools
are the pride of every citizen in Lexing-
ton, and the work they are doing is second
to that Of no school in the state. The
ideal public school buildings in Missouri
are situated in Lexington, and as good a
faculty as can be procured teaches there
in. Prof. II. d. Demand, the superinten-
dent, is the right man in the right place.
He is thoroughly conversant with the
routine work OF the school room, and is
an educator Of extensive repute, and deep
and diversified learning. With such a
man plotting the public school ship, we
are sure that when June comes 1t will be
anchored in the harbor Of success. The
school board, which is wisely selected, is
ever on the alert and ever ready to render
unto the superintendent or the pupils
any assistance In its power.
The schools opened last Tuesday with
nearly 500 children In attendance. They
were enrolled a. follows:

Hoods Sarsaparilla il peculiar to itself,
In a strictly medicinal sense, in three
important particulars, viz: First, in the
combination of remedial agents used;
second, in the proportion in which they
are mixed; third, in the process by which
the active curative properties Of the
preparation are secured. These three
important points make Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla peculiar in its medicinal merit, as il
accomplishes cures hitherto unknown.
But 1t Is not what we say but what
Hoods Sarsaparilla does, that tells the
story. What Hoods Sarsaparilla ha,
done for others is reason for confidence
that 1t is the medicine for you.

There is more catarrh in this section Of
the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years it
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced 1t a
local disease, n prescribed local rem
edies, and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it
incurable. Science has proven catarrh to
be a constitutional disease, and, there
fore, it requires constitutional treatment.

A SAD
August Klee Takes His Own Life
During a Spell Of Dependency.

About 7:4O o'clock, Tuesday morning,
August Klee, Of the firm Of Meyer & klee,
boot and shoe merchants, ended his earth
Iy career, in the rear of William Palmer's
saloon, on Main street. A very ordinary
81 calibre revolver was the instrument
which did the deadly work, and landed its
victim in the presence of his maker.
Gus. Klee was a respectable, prosperous
and an honorable young man. His BUSH
ness cares could not have caused him to
take his life, for he was materially pros
porous.
For several days he has appeared down
cast and discouraged. The usual smile
had vanished and in its place the frown
OF sorrow had come. He made no COM
plants, but his erstwhile geniality seem
ed to have parted from him. The sad
story of his death involves to o small ex-
tent the demon of intoxication. The last
ten days OF his life he drank possibly
more than in all his life combined.
Many rumors are afioat as to the direct
cause, but the INTELLIaENCER reporter
has failed to verify any of them.

weave it, and consequently he refused to
face it.
On Tuesday morning he went into Pal.
mer's saloon and took three drinks o.
whisky. He was seated In q wine room
In the rear talking to the proprietor. A
customer came in and Mr.. Palmer wen,
to wait upon him. He had scarcely turn
cd around when Klee pulled q revolver
and fired the shot that hurled him int
eternity. Mr.. Palmer rushed to his res
cue, but twas too late to render assist
