4 Letter from Kansas City States
that he Is Better.

Judge William Young received a letter
from Kansas City yesterday morning
which will be welcome news to the many
county.
Mr.. Ewing has been n patient in ST.
Joseph's hospital at Kansas City for
several weeks. The readers OF the INTEL
LIGESCER are all more or less familiar
with the facts concerning his condition
before he went to the hospital and con-
corning the operation which was per.
formed upon him by the aid of the Won
derful Y rays. The operation was made
10 remove a bullet which had lodged in
his spine, and which had caused paralysis
of mis- body from the waist down. and the
loss of his sight. The operation was
entirely successful so far as TO removing
the bullet, and the doctors said they
would have to depend upon nature to
build up the nerves which had been SO
long paralyZed. He lost the use OF his
limbs thirteen years ago, and they feared
the nerves had been without use too long
him to ever recover the use of them.
The letter stated that he was able to
up without the use OF his c%rutches,
Wednesday evening, and that lie found
he had much better use OF his limbs than
he had had at IN time since he became
DIR. Wilson, who has been in
on him since the operation
was performed, said he would be able TO
lea re the hospital In four or five days. He
is growing stronger every day, and will
home In a short time.

WABASH BRANCHING OUT.
\ Deal PENDING for Use Of the Ontario
4 Western Tracks ont Of buffalo
New Fast Train 10 81. lOniS.

1t is reported that the Wabash rail
road will, in the near future, have n
through line from Kansas City, ST.
LOUIS and Chicago Ia New York. The
policy of General Manager Joseph
Ramsay, jr is Il broad and vigorous
one, and il is his ambition TO make the
Wabash one of the leading trunk lines
of the country. Recently he effected n
traffic arrangement with the Grand
Trunk railway, which gives the Wabash
the use OF the Grand Trunk tracks from
Detroit and enables il To run It's VI
trains INTO Buffalo, y. Y, from the
west.
The arrangement with the Grand
Trunk has proved TO be % satisfactory
that the Wabash Is now negotiating
with the Ontario & Western for the use
of it, tracks from Buffalo to New York.
Ii the deal is contaminated the Wabash
will operate its own trains between
Kansas Cny and New York city, and
in connection with the Santa Fe will
have through sleeping ear service from
The Atlantic seaboard 10 the Pacific
coast. \ short Time ago the " ahash
had no train service east of Detroit AMI
Toledo. The extension TO Buffalo was
only The first step in the plan 10 C
a through line between Kansas City,
Chicago and New York. ii the deal
with the Ontario & Western does moi
go through, II similar contract will be
made with some other line between
buffalo and New York.
Many important changes in the train
sc.dnles will become effective on the
Wabash tomorrow. a seven honr lrain
between Kansas Guy and st. l.Onis will
be put on. leaving Kansas City nj Il.
m. daily. No other line makes The
run TO St. Louis in less than eight hours
and the Wabash announces that il has
another hour ''up its sleeve" II neces-
sary. Through chair car and sleeping
car service will also be established
between Kansas City ami buffalo. y.
7. The slecpers will leave Kansas
City at 1920 p. IN. daily and will pran-
tlcally afford ihroug sleeping car service
to New York city. a. passengers will
be able 10 step into the New York
sleeper at Buffalo without leaving the
train. The through chair EARS will be
attached to the train leaving Kansas
City 1T IL q. m. This ia an innovation
as the railroads east Of Chicago have
refused TO provide chair ears for passen-
gers. After the Wabash secured its
Buffalo line IL began to run chair cars
and competing roads tried in vain 10
it 10 discontinue The SERVICE.

SILVER WILL EE THE ISSUE.

William C. Whitney, leader of the
boilers and general all-round political
ssdead duck is out in an interview IN
which he declares that he does not
believe that the democrats will make
the silver question mn Issue in 1900.
1t Is but justice TO Mr.. Whitney TO
say that he has been spending several
months in Europe, and his information
has all been derived from reading New
York papers which are owned and
edited by The gold trust. Mr.. Whit
ney's opinion Is not Of very much
weight on this account. lie, howeVc:,
can reasonably believe his own stale
ment. lie is the heud, and recognized
spokesman, of q little band of %plutocrats
VINO, in the face of all traditions and
principles of the party, set themselves
mp to he the only Simon pure demo-
Gratis in the nation. lie is the head of
the little band who attempted 10 drag
the name OF jefferson into disgrace by
claim ing that the mantle of the great
champion OF popular rights fell to them
for sacred keeping.
There was 4 lime when Mr.. Whi:ney's
opinions received careful attention from
democrats. That was before he and
the former so-cailed Wall street conlin-
gency soid the democracy ont with
Grover Cleveland. Neither his opinion
nor the wishes Dor desires of the little
contingent of golden calf worshippers,
make an impression upon the course of
the democratic partynow. The democ-
racy OF Jefferson has washed its hands OF
the traitors who sold The party out in
the honr OF victory.
Free silver will be the issue in 1900.
From the ashes of defeat and disap-
pointment the democracy has risen

O. p. q. REOfTAI,.

The teachers OF Central college gave
their first recital OF the year 10 Iduna Hall
on last Saturday evening, November 18th.
Long before the hour appointed to
begin, the hall was comfortably filed
with an audience that was much inter-
ested in the delightful musical evening
that each and everyone felt sure was 10
store for them.
The first number on the program was O
piano trio, BARBER de Sevilla -" by
Rosini, played In Il most charming man
Der by Mr.. Conrad, Misses Jennings and
Penn. 1t was one of the most brilliant
compositions of the evening, and Was
quite pleasing to the audience.
Miss Penn gave Llszt's ever beautiful
ave Maria, !" and although troubled with
hoarseness. she sang 1t faultlessiy.
A plano %solo--(a) "Nachtstueck !" Schu-
mani (b) OCTAVE Etude," Eullak, was
given by Mr.. Conrad In such a delightful
aud perfect style that his audience would
not be satisfied until he responded with a
beautiful encore.
Mr.. Stark then gave a violin solo. Can
zonetta," GODDARD. and Mr.. Stark Is so
we'll known to a Lexington audience that

Three songs-(a) "Der Traum." Rubin
stein; (b) might Song" Harris; (cJ
"Protestations.'' Norris-were sung by
Miss Penn In her usual charming style.
She was accompanied Ia her last sslec-
iIon with the violin obligato by Mr..
Stark, and 1t is such a pretty obligato
that it added greatly to the selection.
Miss jennings rendered ola Fileuse,"
by Raft. in an artistic manner.
The last, but by no means least enjoyed
numbers on the program, was a Sonata
ior piano and violin, OPP. p (Beethoven),
in four movements, and Messrs. Conrad
and Stark foqnd themselves masters of
this exquisite conception of Beethoyen's.
1t wopld be difficult to fad an audience
that was more highly entertained aud
han was the one that listened to
this RECITAL given by the teachers of Cen
