So far as the INTELLIaKNCER has been
able to learn there is not a gold democrat
in Lexington who will vote for Mckinley.
There are two or three who declare they
will not vote for Bryan and Sewall, but
none who declare for Mckinley.
The republican party has again honored
Sam K~leinschmidt, the editor of the Hlg-
ginsville Advance, by electing him chair
man of the county COMMITTEES. Sam
Kleinschmidt is an astute politician as
well as one OF the best newspaper men in
western Missouri. He deserves any honor
his party can bestow.
IT,. o-a-. To- VUaIA4-, ru;kb n oa--
gressional endorsement the Lafayette
county republicans have honored a citizen
who Is in every worthy their approval.
Mr.. Welborn is an honorable, high
minded, able man. We hope the time
will not come when the Fifth district
will be represented by q republican, but
II come 1t must at any future time we
would rather see 1t represented by Well
born than any other republican.
A rattlesnake measuring four feet four
inches in length and eight inches in girth
was killed last Monday on the farm of
Mr.. George Galloway, about seven miles
southwest from Lexington, by his 12-year-
old son, William Galloway, and George
Washington (colored). William first
discovered the reptile and proceeded to
'herd" him, keeping at a respectful dis
lance while he loudly called for the name
sake of the father Of his country to come
to his help. The invincible George quick
ly dispatched the hideous creature. 1t
was truly q magnificent specimen of the
species, of a size rarely found In this
latitude. The locality where the snake
was killed has long been notorious for
the reptiles. As long as fifty years ago a
special and was required to watch for
snakes while a mill race was being dug
across from one creek to another, and
from time to time since great snakes have
been killed there. A few weeks & a
negro girl was bitten on the foot by one
near the same place, and her life was only
saved by having her leg at once tightly
bound above the bite. Should any
museum or naturalist desire an extra fine
specimen of this species of snake
(erotalus horridus) apply to William
Galloway and George Washington.
Mr.. Posey Wilson, who was raised in
Lexington, writes of the Christian En-
deavors In Washington, that they ave
mastered the art, both men and women,
OF not being a nuisance to any one In any
way, though a very numerous army; that
they are cleanly, orderly, considerable of
one another as well as of the most casual
acquaintance or of the stranger; and they
thus give us high hopes Of what can be
made of mankind while yet IN earth. l
have been surrounded by them now for
three days, In public as well as in private,
and nave yet to see one ungentlemanly or
unIadylike or even inconsiderate action.
Truly it reminds me of the German poet
Heine's statement that in heaven when
one treads on another's corn and apollo
answer, "Thy foot did not hurt me, dear
brother, on the contrary 1t only added a
deeper thrill of rapture In my Frame" A
political, or a ''hoss convention" or a
convention of almost any
kind would have flooded streets and
houses with tobacco juice, and those in
attendance would have filed themselves
with bad whiskey and troubIed the very
heavens with foolish cries and pulled
smoke from "toofers" into every
face. Let everybody who makes
his mouth q mill or a funnel for tobacco
or q fog horn for uttering folly come here
and see that consideration is, in fact, like
and angel and cleanliness is, in deed and
in truth, near to godliness. And although
it must be aid for the most part their
faces are plain, 1t can be truly said that
their feet are beautiful upon the noun
and upon the streets, for they bring
good tidings that man can be consld-
crate, dignihed, polite and clearly, coll
lecCi ,ely AS we'll as severally.
