A Recital.

A very large and cultured audience
assembled at the new Grand opera house
last Thursday evening. The occasion
was a recital by the distinguished Mr..
Edgar j. Ebbles, assisted by MIR. Ru-
dolph Richter, Mrs. Buck, Miss Criley
and Miss Fulton, of Baptist college.
The entertainment was given under the
auspices of the elocution department of
the college, over which Miss Fulton has
charge.
Mr.. Ebbels is a reader Of much dis
tinction and an impersonator of fine
ability. He is personally magnetic, is
easy and graceful OH the stage, and is
endowed with a clear, rich voice, which
he controls at will. His readings were
generously applauded by the audience.
Mr.. Ebbels is perhaps at better advant-
age in humorous parts, but his rendition
of the pathos was highly creditable.
The program was i~nterspersed with
music, which was rendered by Mr.. Rich
ter, Mrs. Buck and Miss Criley. AS to
the music, no comments need be made,
as every one who reads the INTELLI-
GENCER understands that the music
faculty of the college is exceptionally
member thereof in a music selection
means that it is to be faultlessly exc
cuted.
Perhaps the most attractive feature of
the reading part of the program was the
farce, school for Scandal" rendered
by Mr. Ebbels and Miss Fulton. Miss
Fulton is an elocutionist of fine ability,
and her appearance was greeted with
much applause. With due credit to Mr..
Ebbels, it can be said, though excellent
he may be, he is not a superior reader
than Miss Fulton.
The entertainment was a great sue
cess, creditable to all who took part in
it, and especially to Miss Fulton, who
managed it.

THIS is CHEERING NEWS.
The Confederate Home to be Placed
on u Sound Financial Basis.

AT a called meeting of the Confeder-
ate Home association, of Missouri, in
st. Louis, on Saturday last, it was re-
solved to place the Home on a sound
financial basis for the next twenty years.
Some months ago the association held a
meeting at Liberty, and a special com
mlttee was appointed to propose a plan
for the support of the Home at Hig-
ginSville. This committee. being unable
to agree in all the details, submitted
two reports for consideration. The
majority recommended the immediate
Issuance of ten thousand shares of stock
at $50 each, payable in ST. annual in
stallments. The minority report, which
was adopted, favored issuing $500, 900 in
mortgage bonds upon the Home prop
erty and issuing paid up stock in
amounts ranging from SIS to $50. This
report claimed that the majority plan
would entail endless book keeping and
unnecessary expense, and to obviate
this the association thought best to
adopt The suggestions embodied in the
minority report. The following resolu-
ton was then adopted:
Resolved, That the board of direc-
tors be, and they are hereby authorized,
to issue mortgage bonds of the cbarac.
Ter indicated in the report of the minor
ity of the committee just adopted, in
u denominations as they shall deem
best, and in the aggregate not more
than $500 900 and to sell the same for
cash at their par value : and that said
board be authorized to expend annually
not more than One-twentieth of the
principal of the aggregate of the bonds
named IN the mortgage in the mainten-
ance of the home. And said board is
authorized to do whatever is necessary
TO carry out the recommendations CON
tanned in said minority report"

THE sTATE ~uNIvERsJTy

The INTELLIGENCER, in common
with the citizens OF this county, is
interested in the fate of the State
University at the hands of the coming
legislature. Proud, imperial Missouri
should have a university as widely
known, of as broad prestige, and as
literally ~patronized as that of any state
in the union. we will never have a
university commensurate with that OF
Michigan, Wisconsin and other states
that might be named, until we pay the
price for 1t.
In the last four years the institution
has been making rapid strides to the
front rank of universities, but has been
handicapped at all times in not being
supported literally enough by the legis-
lature. In the coming session of the
legislature we hope that state pride and
a desire to place at the doors of the
Missouri boy and girl as good advan-
tages as can be found anywhere, will
prompt the legislature to be liberal
with the State University.
We are confident that if the coming
house and senate are composed of as
broad minded mel as Senator Chas.
Vandiyer and Hon. Jos. H. Christy,
there will be no ''penny wise and
pound foolish" Legislation done at JEFF
terson City, and that the university
will receive that attention and generous
that should be accorded to it.
Every informed citizen in the state is
proud of the record being made by the
institution at Columbia, and Is DESTROYS
il should continue to prosper and
grow IN fame. 1t is in the hands of
the Missouri legislature, and in good
faith With the people that body must
stand by it.
The uniVersity's best ftiepds do not
desire ~extravagant appropriations;
they simply ask hat the institution be
as the child of the state. Its
time now when the eastern boy
should be brought west to be educated,
of the western boy being sent
east.

an entertainment way above the average
may be expected. One of the most
essential features Of a perfect minstrel

carry with an organization of this kind.

MISSOURI IN

Missouri democracy will be repre-
scented in congress by the strongest del
egatioD ever sent to Washington from
this state. Brave, honest 'DIck Bland,
who will be the caucus nominee fol
speaker and assume the democratic
leadership on the floor of the house,
was elected by a majority that clearly
demonstrates the confidence which he
enjoys at the hands of his people.
David A. De Almond, for six years a
recognized leader OF men and measures
in congress, will answer to the congress
sional roll call again.
Champ Clark goes back to take up
the fight for a people who have been
sorely misrepresented for two years.
Dockery, of the Sd district, is the
only other old member reelected. He
has beer a very prominent member of
congress.
Of the new members elected Cowherd
is perhaps the most eloquent, and will
likely be the most prominent.
Benton, who wrote q very affection
ate (P) letter to G. Cleveland, Esq,
during the latter's first term, will rep
resent The 18th district, and he will
represent, too.
Judge Cooney, OF the 9Th district, is
IA man of great ability and will measure
up to the John Heard standard well.
Cochran, the only editor in the dele
cation, will be q power and serve his
constituents ably.
Bodine, of the I'd, and VandIver, OF
the 4th, are the idols of their constit-
uents and go to congress with the pres
Lage of large majorlties.
Robb, of tie 18th, is a young man,
but his people predict for him a great
Giles, OF the 1st district, died a few
days since, aud a special election will
be held to name his successor.
Barthold, Joy and Pierce are the
only republicans elected. They repre-
sent the St. Louis districts.
The twelve democrats who will rep
resent Missouri in Congress will be q
great advertisement of the ability, in
and patriotism of Missouri.
Though the democrats are in the mi
1orIty, the influence of these men will
be felt the nation over.

A RECENT
With Or. Hartman, the Renowned
Catarrh Specialist.

A newspaper contributor was lately
admitted into the extensive suit of
offices which constitute the h~eadquar-
tiers of DR.. Hartman, who treats catarrh
patients by the thousand. Amid the
busy swarm of assistant doctors, clerks,
stenographers and b~ook-keepers, DR..
Hartman stopped long enough TO say d
few words:
The number of catarrh patients who
visit me is large, but the number who
are entered on my books as regular
patients (but are treated without charge
by correspondence, is very much larger.
Hundreds of letters are received and
answered free every day. A yet greater
multitude take my catarrh remedy, Pc
ru-na, and are cured, of whom l never
hear. Some of this latter class write
me years after their cure. L never
allow a name published, except by the
written consent of the patient. We
make no charge at any time. The med
icine only is obtained by each patient at
his own drug store. Those desiring to
become regular patients have only TO

treatment previously received, and direc-
tiOns for first months treatment will be
sent at once.
"Over half the people have catarrh in
some form or another. And yet proba-
bly, moi a tenth of the people know that
their disease is catarrh. To distinguish
catarrh of various organs, it has been
named very differently. One person
a dyspepsia; another bronchitis; an
other Bright's Disease; another liver
complaint; another consumption; an
other female complaint. These people
would be very much surprised to hear
that they are all suffering with chronic
c~atarrh-that, is, chronic Inflammation
of he mucous lining of whichever organ
is affected. Any internal remedy that
will cure catarrh in one location will
cure it in any other location. This is
why Pe-ru-na has become so justly
famous in the cure Of catarrhal diseases.
1t cures catarrh wherever located. Its
cures remain. Pe-ru-na does not pal
late; it cures"
A catarrh book is sent free by the Pc
ru-na Drug Manufacturing Company,
Ohio. This book contains
81 pages of reading matter and instruc.
tive illustrations.

THE FUTURE ON BRYk5.

A great many repab'iesn ~pafptls
are very : q aeaat J. future Of
Villa 1entizss Bryan. They seem
fearful ssi he should mar his future
by some political mistakes.
These gentlemen should cast aside
their fears. If they will read Bryan's
past with their eyes, instead of their
prejudices, they will aecome convinced
that, in the language of the old Vir-
ginia gentleman, he is one man who
stdoes not need n guardian " His past
evidently demonstrate that he is am
ply able TO take care of himself.
His future will contain the same
striking characteristics as ihls past, de-
votion to duty, honesty of purpose, and
patriotism and unseltishness in actioD.
His private life will continue to be re-
spected for its purity, and his e%loquence
will continue to ring out as clear and
strong. With age will come experience,
and with time, study and thought. The
ollOnSCoI nnlhh Ah - M ~
day, he will grow stronger as time goes
on, and at the end of four years will
lead the hosts of democracy 10 a
mighty victory.
William j. Bryan is human. Per-
haps he will make mistakes, but these
will be of the head and not of the
heart. But the republican ''pencil-
pushers'' need not be alarmed to any
great extent over Bryan's future. If,
in the providence of an Almighty God,
his life is spared, he will write his name
on the heart of every American citizen,
and the history he is destined to make
will be read b. the generations of a
thousand years.

the roaring farce comedy, which will be
presented at the New Grand tonight,
has a plot, to be sure, but that need not
worry any one, as the numerous special
ties, catchy songs and amusing features
keep the audience in such a state of
hilarity that the plot cuts no figure, and
it is not until the tag of the piece is
REACHED that the spectator recalls the
fact that the piece started out with a

splendid company of comedians as have

there surely rests in store a rare treat

A NATIONAL PARK

The INTELLIGEEOER believes that
one of the possibilities of the future is
a national park, and we believe tn; {
with the proper and concerted effort of
our citizens that an appropriation can
be secured.
Senators Cockrell and Vest and Con-
gresham COwherd all understand the
Importance of the battle fought here
and the appropriateness OF having the
heroism, bravery and patriotism of the
American soldier as exempliied on the
Lexington battle ground commemor-
ated by some suitable monument. We
are confident that they will do some
effective work in the coming congress
for the park, and that they can secure
an appropriation. Lexington will buy
the grounds and deed them to the gov
eminent as a gracious gift, and it
proper attention is called to the matter
the government will improve them.
Mr.. Cowherd has an opportunity in
this matter to take rank as the only
congressman elected from this district
Ip recent years who has ever recognized
that Lafayette county was a part Of the
district at other than election times,
and we believe that he will grasp the
opportunity. 4 national park should
be made of the old battle grounds. The
western soldier was just as honest as
the eastern soldier. He fought as
bravely and as periodically. Why all
the mongments should be erected in
the east is a question, We believe Vest.
Cockrell and Cowherd will ask yery
at the coming session.
