BAPTIST FEMALE COLLEGE.
Entertainment by William Jewell
Literary Society.

Monday night, at the opera house, the
William Jewell Literary Society, of the
Baptist Female College, gave an enter
tainment that was greatly enjoyed by
the audience.
The society is composed of young
lady pupils of the college.
The curtain was little late in rising,
but after it went up things were kept
moving along rapidly.
After an invocation of divine blessing,
by Rev. Mr.. Ellerby, Miss Annie Laurie,
president of the society. delivered an
address of welcome. She spoke clearly,
and in a manner to convey the impress
sion that she meant what she said. She
seemed to appreciate the honorable
position she holds as president of such a
worthy society.
Miss Sudie Wortham came next Oh
the program, with an essay, 1.-The Con-
federate Soldier She evidently is well
posted on this subject, and could tell
what she knew. Probably her father
was an ''Old reb," and possibly he has
told her how he had to live on corn
and how the cattle that were strong
enough to walk were reserved, and those
that were too poor to walk were killed
for "COnfed." beef. Anyhow she knew
these things, and compared the hard
ships of the Confederate soldier with the
comparatively good times of Other
soldiers, and made him hero. which hs

The Higginsville Leader contains
nearly two columns last week in answer
10 paragraph editorial In last week IS
INTELLIGENcER IN which we referred
TO that genuine document Of principles,
the Kansas City platform, rs "purely
democratic," and jOkingly referred to
ITS opponents as "cuckoos." Now it
was not our intention to wound the
feelings of the Leader man, and while
we are mindful that "the truth
hurts" yet we are also aware OF
the fact that the INrELLIGENcER has
stood almost alone, as far rs the papers
Of this county are concerned, and
fought for the money of the constitu-
iion regardless of the views of any
man. We were referred to IA a mem.
Der OF the "Jim Grow gang" vet with
history and justice to substantiate cur
cause, we are willing to be consigned
to whatever company the "cuckoos''
desired. Now that the Missouri democ-
racy has proclaimed principles which
are in accord with the policy of the
lNTELLIGENCER, we reserve the right
to glory with our fellow workers in the
victory which was fought and won
against the influence Of the patronage
lash and official favor. A favorite
word with the Leader has been "Jim
Crows" and now that there SO many
in the country, let 1t use that word
until 1t pleases to select another.

FELLOW CITIzENs Permit me ~
behalf of myselfNnd councilmen-i0 call
your attention to- the -.s55ihiiowing facts
as to our present city debt:
In March, 1898, the board of health,
consisting Of Doctors Fulkerson, Cham
bers. Criet, Adams aud Gosewisch, and
Messrs. Samuel J. Huston and John Il.
Ardinger, urged upon the then mayor
and council 10 join in putting i'm the
sewer from the foot of Tenth or Pine
street, at the river, to alley i'm block
forty-two. thence east to the Jail and
west through block torty-two to point
back OF Turner Hall In block forty-five,
they believing that cholera would prob
ably sweep over this land The sewer
was built in April, May and June, and
paid for cut of this years revenue in
July and August, 1893, to an amount of
50 $50 over that received from the county
and from special taxes.
We also paid John w. Waddell $50
for warrants issued under Hamlet S
administration, out OF this year 's
income, the two items making Si,a..}0 of
our present debt. The first under an
emergency to protect the health of our
citizens; the next, Waddell warrants to
prevent suit and costs.
At our February meeting we ordered
one hundred perch of rock broken, 10
aid the old and decrepit and needy
unemployed. The unemployed increas-
ing in numbers, who did not wish to
beg, starve nor steal, we ordered five
hundred perch more broken at our April
meeting, and for the same reason ordered
five hundred more at our May meeting,
it all costing 81 ,Sl5, which. added To the
before named, makes S6,0I5.
This rock was put down on Main
street; also south of high school. We
are now putting down block on
Ridgeway street. from the high school
to the second ward school. Tie balance
of tine debt is for grading these blocks,
opening streets in Pomeroy's addition,
and other necessary expenses, including
curbing, amounting t. some $500 or

nominated county ticket. Of the
nominees no words of praise are
necessary. The ticket is a strong one,
and, it is safe to say, will be ratified oy
the people in November.
The state ticket is likewise a good
one, and "Old Lafayette" must do her
duty and give that ticket 1000
majority this fall.
The campaign is now upon us!
1t behooves every democrat to begin
work in earnest for the platform and
the democratic nominees.
We of Lafayette are only responsible
for what Lafayette county does, but
in the interest of liberty and principle
we have we'll defined duties to perform.
1t would be idle folly for us to close
our eyes upon the condition OF the
country or our party.
1t would seem as If prOcrastinatlng
senate had turned its ears from the
people to the selfish interests OF
individuals. But we must not be
unmindful of the fact that upon our
national statute books are the iniquities
of thirty years of the class legislation
of the republican party. We must
remember that the democrats captured
the ship of state when it had almost
sunk in an ocean of corruption.
A legacy left by the party then IN
power was one of the worst financial
panics IN the history Of the govern
ment. Obnoxious financial Legislation
had endangered the credit of the
country, and heinous class laws had
plundered and almost bankrupted q
people.
The history of the republican party
is known to all. It has been tried and
we we'll know the evil that was its
complement. And in considering the
work done thus far by the democrats
we must not fail to consider thai
reforms do not come in day.
The democratic party Is all right!
The senate, under the leadership o.
Mills and Vest, and acting in harmony
with that apostle of tariff reform
Grover Cleveland, will give us in tim'
| tariff measure that will be in harmony
with our principles.
But while the representatives a
Washington are solving the importan
questions, let us look after the interests
of the party that placed them il
power.
The county democratic committe'
should begin at once to organize th'
democratic party in ever school distric
in this county.
"To Arms!" should be sounded, ant
every democrat should be mustered in
The fight, this fall, will be royal one
because of the apparent dissatisfaction
with the work Of congress; but evei
should congress keep intact the Nc
Kinley bill, (Which it will never do,)
then the steady democrats, who are il
earnest about the reform, would gaii
nothing by remaining silent. If thu
battle has to be fought again, let's entel
it in a manly way, within the ranks o
the party whose principles guarantee
this to be q haven Of liberty ant
prosperity.
"ORGANIzE" should be the watch
word Of every democrat in the county
Talk about it, think about it, and &c
out and work for 1t. Let's not wa
