land, wife of Judge Joseph #. smith.
Her remains We're brought here and in
tered in Machpelah yesterday evening.
She was n most estimable woman, and was
prepared for the final decree from Heav-
ems high throne. Those who knew her
best loved her best. Her virtues COM
mended her as a woman Of much force of
character. In the home, church and
society she will he greatly missed. We
extend sympathy to the bereaved husband
and relatives.
Died, at Kansas City, May II, 1895, after
an Illness Of nearly three years, Miss Kate
w. keeHc.
Nearly three years ago Miss Keene was
the victim oi an accident, from the
wounds OF which she never recovered.
She had been at Kansas City for some
time under the treatment of skilled sur
geons, but science was powerless to cure
her or prolong her life. She was the
daughter Of the late Robt. W. and Kath-
crime Keene, and was 2 young lady OF
high a~ttainments and priceless virtues.
She met death in the firm faith OF a
Christian, and passed into the unknown
with hopes anchored on Heavens throne.
She left a mother, brother and w sisters
to mourn her loss. She was inferred in
Machpelah Tuesday. Rev. g.. NJ. Goode
conducted the services.

ELECTRIC LIGHTS.

Since the last issue of this paper the
St. Joseph Electric Light company has
withdrawn its proposition, and a COM
pany from Kansas City has offered one
that is in many phases similar to the
one before the council last week.
The company from Kansas City does
not ask the city to contract for any
street lights, but will put in forty 1000
candle power arc lights, and will turn
them on when the city says so, for a
monthly rental of sc 80 each; said arc
lights to bnrn every night and all
night. In this respect it differs from
the amended st. Joseph proposition.
That company asked for a contract to
light the city on the moonlight sched-
ule for $75 per light per annnm. In
every other respect the Kansas City
company have duplicated the amended
st. Joseph proposition. This PROPOSE
ton was passed upon by n committee
of citizens and pronounced a good one.
As the Kansas City company agrees to
90 the st. Joseph gentlemen one
better, and ask the city for no lighting
contract, of course the proposition is
implicitly stamped with the approval
of the committee.
There is hardly any doubt but that
the Kansas City proposition will re-
ceive favorable recognition at the hands
of the council, and that it will go 10
the people for their sanction or rejec-
ton. All propositions besides This ONT
have been Withdrawn. St. Joseph could
not, or at least did not, accept the
amendments, and as the company from
St. Louis did not see fit to offer 8
tangible me-, the company from Kansas
City has a clear field, with the wind
blowing strongly in its favor.
LexingtonIans will stand in thcil
own light il they do not secure cleo
trio lights.
The present proposition has beer
commended on all sides, and, we be-
lieve, will be adopted.
The company will give $4,000 to the
bridge, and two arc lights for ten years
free Of charge.
The fact that we have a bridge
project on hand is no argument against
electric lights.
The weekly intelligencer. [volume] (Lexington, Mo.) 1891-1901, 1895-05-18
THE BRIDGE.

The "thirty hustlers" are now at
work raising the remaining $4,000
necessary to the building of IT, bridge.
That St. Joseph has f. rive
this 1926 900 does not ms O.
ject a doubtful mi by any / ---s.
The lNTELLIGENCER, In common
with the citizens Of Lexington believed
that the citizens Of st. Joseph would
take the rest Of the stock, but the fact
that they did not will not be detrimen-
tai, otherwise than that our opinion of
st. Joseph caused us q few weeks de-
lay. The amount subscribed will pay
for that. The bridge proposition is at
home again and Dur citizens must Crap
pie with it.
The question now Is shall We raise
$4,000 Or lose the bridge and let
Lexington 60 along in the old ruts OF
retrogression and decay. The question
is simply q business one and must be
met IN . business way.
We are not unmindful Of the fact
that u people have subscribed lIber-
ally and well. No other town Of this
size could have measured up to the task.
But Lexingt on can Dc mere, Lexington
is . better town now than 1t was before
the bridge project was put on foot.
Lexington Is . better town now than 1t
was when the committee went TO st.
Joseph. This bridge boom Is stirring
this town up and making q place out
Of it that We will all be proud of.
W. ell gave what We could when the
committee made Its first round but now
that we have had q month or two to
study over the matter We can do more.
The INTrLLIGENcER believes that the
darkest day that could ever come Ia
Lexington would be the day when hel
citizens gave up the project. 1t would
be indeed a dark blot upon the escutch.
o Of this town for It to 60 on record
as having surrendered to retrogressio q
and decay because IL would not give uI
e25 200.
Lexingtonians have no more idea o.
surrendering TO the devouring demon
Of decay than they have Of the worlt
coming to an end tomorrow. Lex.
ingtonians fight with their faces &c
the enemy and they don't mean to lei
q meagre amount Of money drive then
into = deserted village Of a few hun,
dred inhabitants.
II the citizens Of Lexington do theil
duty we will have raised that none,
before another week, and the citizen,
Of this town never break a pledge moi
shirk q duty.

A Cameron Tape Worm.

CAMERON, Mo-, April Goth,
1851 wish to state that l have
been feeling badly for about three
years. About the first of March,
1898, l discovered l had a tape
worm. On April 18th, 1895. l
called on the Shaker Doctor. The
following day l took one dose of
his medicine. The result was,
about twelve feet of tape worm
came from me. He gave me a
second dose of his tape worm
medicine on the morning of the
Goth of April, 1895, aud in about
one hour and a half. Ia my great
pleasure, it removed the balance
of the tape worm, head and all,
without sickness, pain CT incon-
venience, and ut IL O'Clock the
same day l make this testimonial,
perfectly well and in a most agree
able state of mind, that the worm
and l had parted company forever.

VETERANS.

There are now In the county turee
camps of the United Confederate Vet
Grams. The object of this organization
published on another page will be read
with interest by hundreds Of persons,
many of whom were not upon the field
of carnage and know not what it is to
march to the beat of the drum in the
face of musket and cannon; who know
little save what history records, of the
terrors and hardships Of war.
The civil wal in which brother was
arrayed against brother, father against
son, one section Of a fair land against
another, was the saddest era in the his
tory of this nation.
For four long years did the tide of
battle ebb and flow until high tide
was reached on Gettysburg's fatal sum-
mits. Prodigies of valor were enacted.
The world will never cease to stand in
reverence before the genius of Jack
son and q Lee, the brilliance Of a Sher-
idan and the indomitable will Of q Grant
devoted as all were to what seemed to
each, duty's solemn admonition. The
war with all of its bitter memories has
faded from the peoples sight. No pol
itician signing for the flesh pots Of per-
sonal favor or political power can gal
vanize the corpse Of sectionalisn into
even a ghostly semblance Of life.
That mighty struggle which arrayed
two millions Of men, sundered families,
broke countless hearts, and left the
south PROSTATE after march and eoun-
termarch Of c~ontending hosts has pass
ed into history, 90 far that now. not
thirty years since Appemattox its chief
actors seem indeed heroic, but dim and
remote figures OF q far receding past.
Many who survived this great strug-
gle have passed to the other shore. A
few yet remain to bless humanity with
living examples Of patriotic love. The
organization that will bring together
those battle scared veterans, Is indeed
a sacred M and worthy Of the great
est approval. In the hearts Of the
members Of these camps, there is . love
Of country, unsullied by base designs
and mercensry motives. They appre-
ciate what it means to b American
citizens. They offered their all upon
the altar of what they believed right
and just. They are heroes. and . uni
ted country onoe bathed In fratricidal
blood is proud Of them. A these vet
Grams gather at their reunions, there to
recount deeds OF valor, there to 20 over
in memory the old battle grounds
where heroes fell there to again call to
mind the hardships Of war, aud the
trials of former years, there 10 again
call up familiar faces Of days gone by,
may the choicest guardian angels of a
beneficent creator over them their Wig
ills keep. May the declining years of
these heroes In war and patriots In
peace be blessed Within brightest and
best frnition OF lives we'll aud patriot
ically spent.

Confederate Reunion,

The fifth convention and reunion of
the United Confederate Veterans will he
held in the city of Houston, Texas, on
the I'D, sd and 2ith days of May, 1895.
The major general commanding the
Missouri division of the United COnfed-
crate Veterans has perfected arrange
ments with the Santa Fee railroad for u
rate not to exceed $22.75 for the round
trip from Kansas City to Houston.
Tickets good from the 18th until fifteen
days after the reunion. The obliging
agent of the Santa Fe, Mr.. George Hag-
genbusch, is now in conference with the
chief office ut Chicago, to have the rates
further reduced il possible. All camps
will report to these headquarters ut once
the number of members and Others
federates not members of camps are in
