Battle Of Lexington.

COncorulon.
The citizens Of Lexington and viciu-
ity are making preparations to celebrate
the 3lth anniversary Of the battle Of
Lexington. From present indications
It will be one of the most successful
celebrations ever held in the county.
Invitations are extended to the G. A.
K. Posts and ex-Confederate camps
within q distance of as or 100 miles,
and the old veterans who wore the
blue and the gray will unite in friendly
intercourse, discuss the barbecued bull
lock, sheep, etc., and exchange stories
of the siege and other incidents of the
war. The reunion will no doubt be .
pleasant occasion for soldiers and citi-
zens. There are many soldiers In this
part Of Lafayette county who took part
10 the battle to be commemorated who
will doubtless attend.
II is the intention of the citizens oi
Lexington to make the observance oi
this event perpetua! from year to yeai
by reunion Of the blue and gray and
the people in general.
Another object In having the Lex
ington celebration is to put into prac'
tical shape the proposition to have q
national park made out Of the battle
field at this point. 1t Is understood
that the government could be induced
to purchase the site at . low figure
With artificial Improvements added t.
the superb natural beauty of this his
toric spot, it could be made one Of thu
loveliest little parks in Missouri.

LOOKS LIKE A DIVIDE.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-What ma
 suit in division of the house on st
 sectional lines will be an order iron
 committee on rules next week fixiE S time for the consideration of bill to pay certain southern war claims. bill pro- viding for the settlement of the claims of citizens in both northern and southern states was reported sometime ago from the committee on war claims, and is now on the house calendar. Some of the members of the committee learned today that an- other bill, which looks only to the pay ment of southern claims and which did not originate with them, is the one in which the committee on rules will take cogni- zance. The war claims members are exer- cised over the matter, and an effort will be made when the rule is reported on Monday or Tuesday of next week to defeat it, their argument being that the bill reported from their committee is fairly and impartially drawn and the only measure that ought to pass the house. Some quiet missionary work was done on the floor of the house today by certain members of the war claims committee, looking to their pres- ence in their seats next week when the order is reported of as many northern men, both republicans and democrats, as can be counted upon to antagonize the &C., tion of the committee on rules.
