DR.. B. d. Ragland wa seized with an
attack of vertigo last Wednesday morning
and fell heavily to the sidewalk near his
residence in Wellington. When carried
to his home 1t was found that his right
side was paralyzed. Yesterday morn
ing it was reported that he was some
better, but it will probably be some time
before he fully RECEIVERS from the shock.
He is " years of age, and has always en-
joyed excellent health.
On last Thursday night the drug store
of Crenshaw d Young was burglarized
again. This is the second time this store
has been entered In the last two weeks.
The burglars entered by breaking a glass
in the rear door. They secured entrance to
the safe and carried away about $40 in
money. There were several checks in the
safe, but they were undisturbed. Bur-
glaries are becoming epidemic in Lexing-
ton. They ought to be stopped. The
proper authorities should make every
possible attempt to discover the crimi-
nails.
The News appeared this week with q
splendidly written history of the city,
and notices of all the leading business
houses. The biographies of the business
men OF the city were interesting reading
and as an advertisement ofsthe business
interests of the city the "'write up" was
of considerable value, not alone to the
individuals mentioned, but to the people
generally. 1t bays to advertise in any
legitimate manner, and a newspaper is
always to be commended for its enter
prise in affording business men an oppor-
tunity to advertise their goods in a
manner that will prove advantageous to
them.
Thanksgiving day was generally observed
in this city. Thanksgiving services were
held at the Methodist and Episcopal
chu riches. Nearly all the business houses
were closed, and the proprietors and
clerks had a day of rest, which they no
doubt greatly enjoyed. A large number
OF people went to Kansas City on the
early morning train to witness the Kan
sas- Missouri foot ball contest. The main
streets of the city were almost deserted
during the day. OF course everybody en-
joyed a fine dinner, and it is presumed
returned thanks for that privilege.
Thanksgiving day is one that is always
looked forward to with real pleasure by
everybody.
The great annual foot ball contest be-
tween the Kansas and Missouri univer-
silly teams resulted in a walkover for the
Jayhawkers, the score standing 80 to 0 in
favor of the boys from the Sunfiower
state. The Missouri team was clearly
outclassed, and stood no show whatever
with their opponents, but they fought
bravely against superior strength and
weight. The day was a miserable one for
foot ball, being cold, rainy and muddy,
causing the players to labor under great
difficulties, and making it exceedingly
disagreeable for the spectators. The
crowd was immense and enthusiastic, and
the ear-splitting yells of the opposing
tea ms rent the air almost continually.
About a dozen of the players were injured,
but none seriously. Lexington was we'll
represented at the game. Kansas and
Minnesota meet on the gridiron at Kansas
City today, and an interesting battle is
expected, as both teams are pretty we'll
matched in size, strength and skill.
