Mr.. Shelby Rapidly Recovering.

WI piIClD1 uupiuIl IIcCObtTIuSs
The legions of personal friends of Mr..
Thos. Shelby will be pleased to learn
that he has so far recovered from his
recent dangerous illness as to enable his
family to remove him from his residence
in this city to the home of his son,
Joseph Shelby, six miles east of this
city, where he was taken one day this
week. He is able to sit up and is feel
ing far better than for several months
past. He is growing stronger daily and
the wounds produced by the several
surgical operations performed upon him
short time before he will be able to
leave his room and again circulate
among his friends. His long and dan
gerous illness was borne by him with
a resignation and patience truly won
derful. He suffered the greatest agony
for weeks, but possessing as he does an
iron constitution and even temperament
he gradually grew better and is now
declared to be in a fair way to a speedy
recovery to his normal health. This
announcement will be hailed with
pleasure by all who know him. lie is a
noble-hearted ,amiable, christian-minded
gentleman of the old school, and it will
be nothing short of a public benefaction
to see him once more in the full enjoy
ment of his health and meet with him
daily upon the streets after his almost
miraculous escape from the hand of the
fell destroyer. We congratulate him
and his family upon his assured recov-
cry and prospect of many long years in
the enjoyment of health and the album
dance of confidence and respect reposed
in him by his friends and acquaintance
throughout the county.

"Charley's Aunt" which comes to the
ooera house Thursday night, November
9th, is the most famous and funniest
episodes ever written, and has won enor-
nous success. The principal members of
the company have been retained. The
cast has been very much strengthened for
this tour, which has adped more laughs
tt this bright and breezy play.
"Charley's Aunt" is what is designated
a legitimate comedy farce, that is, the fun
is all clean, bringing about the hurricane
of laughter which characterizes the per-
Torrance.
"Charley's Amt" is a good, clean,
wholesome play, aud every one who en-
joys an evening of laughter should not
fail to spend a couple of hours with
"Auntie." 1t is a sure cure for the
''blues," and drives awoy the cares of bad
business.

THE ELECTION RETURNS.
Lexington VIII Have Them
Fresh From the Wires.
WILL RECEIVE COUNTY RETURNS.
viii Be Told at the New Grand
Tuesday Night.

The story of the battle of the ballots
will be told at the New Grand opera
house Tuesday evening. Thanks to
Messrs. Waddell and Chanslor the
citizens of our community will be able
for a nominal price to get the returns
from the election without going to
Kansas City. Arrangements have been
made by which a special wire will be
run to the opera house and extra service
will be engaged to take every message
that goes over the wire and read it to
the audience.
The opera house will present its usual
scene of order. Tickets will be sold as
to any other attraction, and perfect
order will be maintained. Ladies can
attend with as much propriety as to any
other attraction, and as they are inter
ested in this election it is expected that
they will join with their husbands in
going to the New Grand and hearing
the story of the ballots read.
The full returns from Lafayette
county giving the majority the candi-
dates received will be received and read
to the audience. The county candi-
dates who want to hear the most inter-
esting part of the news to them should
should line up at the opera house in
Lexington.
The service will be the very best and
every one may know Tuesday night, by
going to the opera house, who will be
the president, the congressman, the
governor. the county officers and the
township constable. The seats will be
placed on sale for the occasion next
Monday at Leroy Farmers drug store.
Prices 50 and % cents. Procure your
tickets early to avoid the rush, as the
election returns will not be received
elsewhere in the city Tuesday night.

Cant. Todhunter,s Sale.

From Colman's Rural World.
1t is regretted that Capt. Todhunter
has decided to abandon farming and
the breeding of stock, as such men have
been the backbone of the business. They
have expended their time, abilities and
the best years of their lives in lettering
the stock interests of the state, and, as
is the case with Capt. Todhunter, of
the whole country as well. This gen.
tleman comes from a family of noted
breeders, known the world over for
their remarkable successes in this line.
AS a consequence much regret will be
felt at the withdrawal of the Captain
from the field. However, breeders will
be able to acquire the fine animals for
which his stock farm, "NettlewOOd," is
noted, and. under proper conditions, it
is hoped their excellent qualities will be
perpetrated.
From n Chicago paper.
Ryland Todhunter, of Dover, Mis-
souri,, announces through the advertis-
ing columns of this paper that at Hig-
g%insville, on C.. ~ A., and Missouri
Pacific railroads, on Nov. IL and IL, he
will hold a grand closing out sale of his
entire herd of Shorthorn cattle, fifty
eight head; standard trotters, saddlers
thoroughbred race horses and Mammoth
jacks. AS the cattle are the choice of
the noted Swope herd, that cost over
$4,000, they are recognized as among
the best produced in the southwest.
The stud of horses includes about 75
head, 80 of them being standard trot-
tiers of the Belmont and Onward fami-
lies, sixteen Denmark saddlers and
thirteen thoroughbred race horses from
the noted Patton stud. The jacks are
from one to three years old, and are
considered extra fine animals. This
sale, because of its character and the
liberal terms offered, will certainly
bring together a large crowd of buyers.

FOOT BALL.

On the academy parade this afternoon
at 2:3O will be played the best game of
foot ball of the season in which Vent
worth participates. Tneir opponents, the
Kansas City High School team, is one of
great local celebrity and has a clean
record. They are striving to improve
their team by every possible means and
intend to win the game. Wentworth on
the other hand has a fair team and has no
intention OF throwing way the game.
Neither of these teams have been scored
against his season and both have for a
number of years been striving for
amateur championship of the state, and
today will doubtless decide to whom the
same belongs. white, Kansas City's
fullback, has been On the gridiron for
three years and is a kicker OF great
renown, his superior playing brought him
an offer of full back OF Missouris team.
Penny, captain and right end, is a sure
tackler and always follows the ball. Their
other star players are Wyatt, sub quarter
back on the NEEDLES, Morris, right half
and Goldman whose line PUSHES cant be
beaten. The line up will be as follows:

Fredericksburg. Va, September 10
In an ordinary day coach OF the Rich
mond. Fredericks burg & Potomac rail-
way, William Jennings Bryan continued
his trip through Virginia this morning.
He left Richmond a. seven O'Clock en-
route for Washington. a spsech OF
thirty minutes was made at Frederlcks-
burg, and short addresses were given
by the nominee at some OF the smaller
Towns along the line. Fredericksburg
the home CT the mother OF Washington,
sent a reception committee OF nine 10
escort the candidate to their city. Al
Fredericksburg Mr.. Bryan was driven
to the Exchange Hotel, where ne tried
to rest. but in reality held a reception
till II o'clock. Then he was taken 20
THE Washington monument, where ne
made an address to a large crowd. He
was then driven to the residence OF
Mayor W. S. White, where he dined. Al
1850 o'clock he took the train for Wash
ington. His first address to-day was at
Ashland. where the train stopped TWO
minutes. and was as follows:
Il believe this county claims the honor
OF being the birthplace Of two OF AmeTi-
cas- greatest men. Henry Cay was born
in this county. as was also Patrick
Henry. l believe the policy Tor which
| stand in this campaign in some re-
spects revives the memories OF both
men. Henry Clay. in 1916, described
the effect Of contracting the currency
and Patrick Henry was in favor OF an
American policy" (Applause)
At Milford Mr.. Bryan attempted to
rake short address, but the train
pulled out before lie could get the
crowd Guieted
Mr.. Bryan spoke as follows at the
Washington monument:
