days before being arrested.
The many friends OF Miss Berta Rich

meeting with fine encouragement at Kan

soprano soloist in the Jewish synagogue
and is musical instructor to a large class
of bright pupils and holds n good position

The INTELLIaENCER's friend, Hon. N.
Haerle, sent this Office, with his compli-
ments, a basket of the finest grapes we
ever saw. Mr.. Haerle appreciates the woes
Of a newspaper man, and is one of that
very limited number who endeavor to
make an editors life worth living. We
enjoy life every time we see one OF his
baskets coming.
Conductor Goddard, who has been run
ming a freight train on the main line OF
the Missouri Pacific, has been restored to
his old position as conductor of a passen-
ger train on the Lexington branch. The

now stop off at Sedalia. For awhile there
were eight conductors running trains over

week. He has been the pastor of the
church here for five years, and under the
rules of the conference governing appoint

city he has made many warm personal
friends who will greatly regret his de-
p~arture.
A pleasant storm-party was rendered

ing last in honor OF her guest Miss Ottie
McGarvey, from Kentucky. The twenty
couples from Lexington who participated

ment of the guests.

The painters are still busy and 1t will
require some time for them to finish their
work. The building is practically COM
pleted and ready for occupancy. The
county court room is on the first floor of
the new addition. 1t is a large and hand
somely furnished room and just suited for
the purpose for which it was designed by
the architects.
The agitation for the removal of the
court house was never a popular move
ment, nor participated In to any extent
save by those who would have been finan-
cially benefited by the arrangement. Now
it is only an unpleasant "reminiscences, a
memory of things said, but not of things
accomplished. The injunction proceedings
which were filed in the circuit court by
r. Todhunter ct al. against w. G.. McCaus-
land ct al, were dismissed by Judge Field
last week. This summarily END the I'M
profitable imbroglio, and peace once more
reigns supreme.

his duties with satisfaction to the general

left here in 1884 and went to Kansas City
where he was for several years employed
by the Metropolitan railway company.
Previous to that he had been united In
marriage with Miss Winnie Meyers of this

A mass meeting was held at the court
house last Monday evening for the pur-
pose of perfecting the necessary prelimi-
nary arrangements looking to the recep-
ton and entertainment of the old Mexican
veteran soldiers who will hold their

TENDER. The meeting was largely
attended, and resulted in the following
committees being appointed: On finance,
8. j.. Huston, IL. Sinauer and E.. M. Taub-
man; on printing, j. Taubman, Gus
Hearle, F. e. Schooley, Frank Bowman
and H. ]. Groves; on entertainment,

hard at work and are meeting with every
encouragement from the general public. A
number of citizens have already literally
subscribed and it is said there will be no
difficulty experienced in raising all the
money deemed necessary to befittingly
receive and entertain the veterans. 1t is
to make this a notable affair in
the annals of Lexington, and it is thought
many strangers other than old soldiers
will be induced to visit the city at that
time to witness the display that will be
made. !
