QUITE PHENOMENAL.
Remains Well Preserved Though
Buried FOrty-Flve Years Ago.

On Thursday the remains of Mrs.
Henry Curtis, who died at the age Of
thirty-Jhree years, and who was buried
in a family burying ground on the
Alexander place, four miles south of
Higginsville, forty-fve years ago, and
those of her two children, who had
been buried beside their mother in
the years long past, were disinterred,
brought to Lexington and reburied in
Machpelah cemetery.
When the relatives of the deceased
concluded to have their remains re-
moved they found it quite difficult to
locate the exact spots at which their
mortal parts slept. The graves were
located, however, after search of
two or three days, aud the remains
found.
Strange to say, the body of Mrs.
Curtis, though it had been asleep 10
death for nearly half a century, was

Shortly afterward, however, the
body began to turn dark and the lips
parted, the supposition being that,
though the cover proper to the casket
had not been removed, air in some
manner found its way into the box

the glass over the face was displaced

THE TABERNACLE MEETINGS.
DR.. Wharton Began Holding Services
Here Wednesday night.

DR.. II. Nj. Wharton, OF Philadel-
phia, the noted evangelist who has just
closed a wonderful revival at Cameron,
Mo-, is now preaching in Lexington in
an immense tabernacle that was pre-
pared by our people especially for
these meetings. The first sermon of
the great preacher was heard Wednes-
day night and he preached again Thurs
day night and las. night. He is a
forceful, earnest talker and the INTEL
LIGENCER thinks great good will result
from his meetings here.
DR.. Wharton's meetings will continue
up until and include December 4.
There will be preaching every night
at the tabernacle with the exception Of
Saturday night, on which day no meet
ings will be held. The night services
are preceded by an inspiring song ser
vice led by PIof. Horace Geiger, the
noted vocalist who travels with DR.
Wharton, an enjoyable feature Of the
worship.
The meetings are under the auspices
of all the churches and the various re-
ligious organizations of the town will
mite at the tabernacle on Sunday,
morning and evening, to hear DR..
Wharton preach. AT three O'Clock
Sunday evening meetings will be held
at the tabernacle for men only.

Over at Cameron 50 earnest became
the people IN the meetings OF Dr.
Wharton that the business men closed
their houses in the evening and every
body went out to hear the word preach
ed. Many people confessed Christ
during Dr.. Wharton'S stay there
Should similar results follow the Lex

known m this town for 10 these many
years.

60 BACK AND SIT DOWN" I"
Growing Ignorance in MCtrOpOI-
ltan Newspapers of the Day.
LATEST OUTBREAK AT ST. LOUIS.
Strange That More Attention is not Paid
TO Matters of Fact.

The almost daily display of
ignorance in the columns of the met
ropolitan newspapers of the country
is in manner inexcuSable. True,
taking into consideration the great
piles of stuff that pour into the Office
of the telegraph editor of a modern
news Journal it must be admitted
that mistakes will occur; but when
error is so common it does seem that
more attention would be paid to
assertion of fact made by CORE
spondents.
A recent issue of the st. Louis Re-
public contained the following special
dispatch:
columbia, Mo-, Nov. s.-Miss
Ethyl NJ. Fine, of Columbia, Mo-, has
been appointed notary public by
Governor Dockery. She enjoys the
distinction of being the first woman
to hold such an Office in Boone county,
and, in all probability in the state,
outside of the three largest cities.
"MisS Fine is the assistant to j. G.
Babb, proctor of the Missouri State
University, and is a young woman
of unusual business ability. Her
duties as such bring her into daily
association with large numbers Of
people, and she invariably wins their
friendship and esteem. AS notary
public she will transact all that pOr-
tion of business of the university,
which is large and entails great
responsibility"
So elated was the Columbia CORE
spondent of the Republic over the fact
that ne had discovered something
extraordinary in the news circles of
Missouri that he sent along Miss
Fines picture which adorned the
brief story in the newspaper.
But hear again. Here is another
glarlng display OF ignorance In the
columns of the same paper:
"Elden, Mo-, Nov. 10.-Mrs. NJ. L.
Brockman of Miller county is serving
as a notary public and her services are
in frequent demand. She was
appointed by Governor Stephens in
April, 1899, and disputes the claim of
all comerS as the pioneer woman
notary public out in the state"
Now, if the Republic and its enter
prising correspondents at Columbia
and Eden will listen the INTEL
L1GENCER will enlighten them as to
the matter of female notarieS public.
Miss Nj. f. Hollis, of Lexington,
was appointed a notary public by Gov.
Phelps, August 8, 1879.
She was reappointed by Gov. Crit
tenden August %, 1888; by Gov.
Francis August 20, 1891; and by Gov.
Stone August 26, 1895.
But that is not all.
Miss Aileen Rothrock was named
as notary public by Gov. Francis
September 10, 1891,
| Again.
Miss Laura Mitchell, Of the Confed-
crate Home at Higginsville, was ap-
pointed notary public by Gov
Dockery August l3, 1901.
The correspondents of the Republic
at Columbia and Elden should "go
way back and sit down" and the
telegraph editor of the Republic
should lay off a while and study up
on state affairs.
The appointments of females as
notaries public referred to by the
/ INTELLIGENCER only effect Lafayette
county. The Lord only knows what
tale would be told were every county
in the state heard from.
