debility, Mrs. Emma c. Hamlet, aged
about IS years.
Calm and peaceful as an infants slum-
Der the spirit Of this venerable woman
winged It's flight. By reason OF old age
she had been in a feeble condition for
several years; and while the news of her
death was not wholly unexpected. yet
it came suddenly and without warning.
At the time she died there was nothing to
indicate that the end was so near, as
she was In her usual state of health; but,
like a thief In the night" the messenger
of death came and quietly bore her spirit
away.
Thus passed away one of the Oldest

and with whom she made her home. At
his death she continued to reside at the
same place with her two grandchildren,
Victor and Miss Katie Hamlet. Besides
the five children above mentioned, she
left a number of grandchildren, and also
three great grandchildren.
Mrs. Hamlet was a good old woman.
She had strong traits OF character, and
was possessed Of remarkable vitality for
one of her years. She was able to go
about the premises almost constantly up
TO the time of her death, and awaited
patiently the inevitable summons, which
extInguished the lamp of a long and
useful life.
The funeral services were held at the
family residence yesterday afternoon at
2 o'clock, conducted by Elder G. M.
Goode, of the Christian church. Her
remains were laid to rest in Machpelah

The readers of this paper will be pleased
to learn that there is at least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure
in all its stages and that is catarrh. Halls
Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure
now known to the medical fraternity.
Catarrh being a constitutional disease,
requires a constitutional treatment.
HALLS Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and
mucuous surfaces OF the system, thereby
destroying the foundations of the disease,
and giving the patient strength by build

HERE'S A TREAT.
ConcOrdia Sends q Contribution to
Buy the Lexington Battlefield.

The citizenship Of Concordia is a remark.
ably patriotic citizenship. This is dis
played at every opportunity. They are
proud OF their country and the achieve
ments of their countrymen. The fields
where heroes died are sacred to them.
They want them commemorated, and are
willing to help in any manner they can.
On Wednesday the editor OF the INTEL
received the following letter,
with enclosures:
CoNCoRDIA, Mo, March 3, 1896.
II. ]. Groves, Esq, Lexington, Mo.
DEAR SIR:-Herein please find draft lor
$40, which please apply to benefit OF
National Park. This is a Washington
birthday contribution from the people Of
Concordia. While it is small, hope to be
able to remit better amount hereafter.
Approaching your patriotism and hat of
the people of Lexington, and shoping that
you will succeed in your effort, which
will be a grand monument for future
generations, l remain,
Yours truly. JOHN BAEPLER, Q. M.
The draft for $40 was turned over to
Mrs. Robert Taubman, the treasurer of
the national park committee, and the fol-
lowing receipt taken:
LEXINGTON. Mo-, March 4, 1896.
Received of Mr.. II. j. Groves
$1,000
On account OF donation to the "National
Park' fund by citizens of Concordia, Mo.
$1,000 MRS. R. TAUBMAN, Treas.
This friendly interest taken in the mat
ter will inspire the heart of every friend
of the National Park. OF Mr.. John Baepler
whose name is signed to the letter and
draft the INTELLIGENCER has learned that
in the spring of the year 1868, he enlisted
in Co. F, 18th regiment, u. 8. regulars
infantry. He participated with his reg
iment in the battles of Chicamauga, Mis-
sionary Ridge, Lookout Mountain and
ten battles on the Atlanta campaign.
being seriously wounded at battle at
Atlanta, Georgia, and remained an invalid
and cripple since. Mr.. Baepler IS a
brother-in-law of Postmaster Julius Vogt,
Jr., of Concordia, and his relatives are
democrats. Mr.. John Baepler is one of
the foremost and respected citizens, a
true patriot, who knows of no politics in
patriotic way, and admires especially
the manner in which the noble and
patriotic people OF Lexington take hold
of the noble and grand undertaking to
establish the only National Battlefield
Park that may ever be established west Of
the Mississippi, and wishes God speed to
to the enterprise. No patriotic citizen
especially no ex-soldier of either army
should stand back n not aid it. Let all
work united and let every citizen OF this
and adjoining counties feel proud that
Lexington and the grand state of Missouri
can have what no other west OF the
Mississippi will ever AVE.
1t would be impossible for the citizens
of Lexington to convey in words their
appreciation of the friendly and patriotic
spirit which prompted this donation.
They appreciate it from the bottom of
their hearts.

War! War! War!

"Uncle SAM has recognized the beIigercncy
in Cuba, and Spain is about ready to declare war
against Uncle Sam for SO doing. She puts us in
mind OF a spoHt baby that has been fed on candy
and other sweets for so long that it can't under
stand why it should do without. The only thing to
do under such circumstances is for Uncle Sam to
administer a sound spanking and put her to bed for
a spell, and she will get up with less desire to push
her notions in the way Of putting the patriots of
''faithful Cuba to death than she now does. We
know that the hearts OF every patriotic, free born
American throbs ard burns with Indignation, when
he reads what has and is being done by Spain
towards the people of Cuba, and threats that are
also being hurled against our own grand and
glorious country.
