The weekly intelligencer. [volume] (Lexington, Mo.) 1891-1901, 1896-02-22

Mr.. Frank Habbercorn is very sick at
his home on College street. He has
typhoid fever.
G. ". Phares, of Kansas City, a first
class photographer, has opened a gallery
at the old DuvaII stand on Main street.
1t not only is so, it must be so. One
Minute Cough Cure acts quickly, and
that's what makes it 60. Crist & Gardner.
Mr.. Geo. K. Smith has been confined to
his bed a portion of this week with a
severe cold, but was somewhat better
yesterday.
Impoverished blood causes that tired
feeling. Hoods Sarsaparilla p~uriies, en-
riches and vitalizes the blood and gives
vigor and vitality.
The INTELLIaENcER last week stated
that MIR. Geo. Clark had served this city
as marshal for four years. This was a
mistake. He has only served two years
and ten months.
One of the haudsomest as we'll as one of
the best college papers that is issued in
this western country is the Elizabeth
AulI Student, the first number of which
is now in the hands OF subscribers and
friends of the college. 1t is an excellent
college journal and will win praise wher-
ever it gees.
The presentation of Hoyt's ga Trip to
Chinatown" which occurs Thursday
evening. February 9th, will be enhanced
by the appearance of Miss Laura Biggar
as the "widow," aud Mr.. Burt HaverIy as
"Welland Strong. Both of these splen-
1.l orNfaka akon1 fnrannnct oInnnn fhn
many merry-makers OF the stage. Miss
Biggar, aside from being a finished artist
of rare experience, is considered to be an
exceptionally handsome woman. Her
p-ersonation of the 'widow" thoroughly
fills the bill. Mr.. Haverly, as "Welland
Strong" is regarded as the best comedian
that ever essayed the part. His methods
are entirely original. and sure to couvulse
the audience with laughter whenever he
alpears. A splendid cast will be seen.
In another column Glen Biecsos an
nounce his candidacy for the Office of
county treasurer. This sterling young
democrat needs no introduction to the
voters at the hands of the INTELLIaENoER.
He belongs to a democratic family and
more than that a family that has given
some distinction to the democratic party.
He is a nephew of gallant Hi" Bledsoe
| OF civil war fame. Glen 2ledsoe has that
kind of n character that makes a good
public servant. He is honest, courteous
and magnetic, and fully efficient to dis
| charge the duties of treasurer. EVERYBODY
in Lafayette county knows him, aud those
who know him admire the manliness of
his character. He will be a strong man
at the polls and II nominated he will add
strenth to the ticket, and when elected
will make a mode officer.
The case of the State vs. Chas. ]. Jacobs,
charged with having fraudulently OBJ
tanned valuable goods from a Kansas City
firm, was tried here last Saturday, and re-
suited in the acquittal OF the accused.
The case was brought here on q change of
venue from Carroll county. Among the
prominent people of Carrollton who at
tended the trial were Mayor L. A. Holli-
\ day, Louis Blakely, county recorder; A. j.
Lee, county clerk; Ban ker j. NJ. Wilcon-
son Sidney Miller, county prosecuting at
torney; Postmaster Black, and attorneys
R. F.. Lozier, Col. John 3. Hale, George
E. Jacobs and w. d. Jacobs. 1t was a
great trial, and proved that Carrollton
lawyers are hard to head off. Mayor Hol-
liday was of counsel for the defense, but
in the hour of victory he was calm and
collected, though it could be seen that he
was more than pleased with the result.
Captain Ryland Todhunter has made a
considerable acquisition to Nettlewood
stock farm, which was already one OF the
finest stock farms in the west. While in
Kansas City last week he purchased from
-
Patton, nine head of his choice thorough
bred racers, eight mares and the great
race winner and sire Ten Bay, said to be
the finest horse in Missouri. Ten Bay is
sired by Ten Brock, the greatest race
horse at all distance from one to foul
miles America ever produced. The
mares are all winners and the mothers of
winners. The addition OF these celebrated
horses together with his large stock of
trotters and his herd of fine short
horn cattle which he purchased from
Col. Swope, and for which he gave
$4,000, makes Captain Todhunter the
owner of perhaps the finest stock farm in
the west. His two stations, Nettlewood
2:1SA, and Ellington 2:25, are in tip top
condition and great things are expected
from them this year.
The young German ladies of the city
have not forgotten that this is leap year,
and they do not fail to impress that fact
upon the minds of the young men. Last
Monday evening they gave an entertain
ment at Turner Hall in honor of the young
men, and 1t Is needless to say that all who
received Invitations were punctuaI to the
hour. There was q hne supper, the tables
being in charge of the young ladies, who
graciously performed the duties devolving
upon them, and it proved 10 be a most
enjoyable affair throughout. The supper
commift6et and chaperones were Mrs.
Albert Winkler. Mrs. Chris Kist, Mrs.
Anna Wilker, Mrs. J. n. Kiefer and Mrs.
Paul Frisher. The dining hall had been
very Hastily decorated and the tables were
spread with some degree of artistic effect.
The menu consisted Of all choice edibles
OF the season. After supper the musicians
toned their instruments and the dancing
began. There were sixty five couples
present, and all of them participated in
the amusements incident to the occasion.
The young ladies proved themselves to be
able to conduct such an AFFAIR in a highly
creditable manner, and h young men
