The weekly intelligencer. [volume] (Lexington, Mo.) 1891-1901, 1898-05-14

The pupils of l.. A. Seminary are en-
joying a picnic at Silverdale today.
Don't fail to hear Mrs. Hoffman's
lecture on Temperance, at the Christian
church tomorrow afternoon at 3 O'Clock.
Everybody invited.
A little party of young people went to
the SnI Monday to enjoy a herdic ride,
and to get a breath of fresh country air.
They carried plenty of lunch, and spent a
very pleasant day.
Messrs. Kapp and Schooling, who
recently sold the Higginsville Leader,
have just bought the Warrensburg
JournaI-Democrat. We wish them sue
cess in their new home. Major Peed, who
sold the id, is going to the war.
We heard that Mr.. Ed Aull received a
letter, Thursday, from Fred Marshall, at
st. Louis, stating that the First and
Second regiments would be sent to Cuba;
the Third and Fourth TO Manila, and the
Fifth to h-hades. This is important, il
true.
Mr.. Robert Taubman, owner of the
building, is fixing up the room west OF
the p~ostoffice as an Office for Mr.. j. e.
McGreW. The old front has been re-
moved, and now the front is OF plate glass.
The inside is being painted and paPered,
and 1t will be the prettiest Office room in
the city.
Admira Tilton Davis does not seem to
have much confidence in our coast de-
lenses and the torpedoes planted by Com
modore James Boulware. He thinks that
discretion Is the better. part of valor-
sometimes. Captain 10 James reported to
Commander John G. Young Wednesday
morning, that he heard the gunboat Ariel
blowing the distress whistle very early
! that morning, and knowing something
was wrong, he rushed to the scene of
action, arriving just in time to see Ad-
miral Davis rush out of his sleeping quar-
tiers and call to the commander of the
fleet, and ask, "What is the matter down
there?" The answer came back "We see
q sail, SIR" Then the admiral shouted
back: snake a run for the Big Sni." Be-
fore the run was made, however, the sail
was discovered to be a friendly one, and
all is quiet on the Big Muddy. The song
of the turtle and the bully frog will not
be disturbed by the numbering of cannon
and the screech of hurting shell. The
cabbage and turnip patches surrounding
Riverside park will not be hiding places
for %treacherous Spaniards, and our
glorious soil will not be polluted by
drinking the blood of CASTLES ignoble
sons.
