A Carnegie Face.

Artist Frank Dean has Just finished,
for the Carnegie library in this city, a
large and elegant Sepia portrait OF the
founder OF that institution.
When the Carnegie library was dedi-
Gated this board OF directors had only a
small portrait OF Andrew Carnegie,
which hung above the crate in the main
room Someone expressed their regret
that a large and handsome portrait Of
Mr.. Carnegie was not in evidence, when
Mr.. Dean, overhearing the conversation,
stepped forward and said that he would
furnish the library with a portrait OF the
famous philanthropist which should not
cost them one cent. The directors, or
those OF that body who we're present,
thanked Mr.. Dean for his offer and he
has now finished one Of the beautiful
Sepias which will take the place OF the
small cabinet from which the Sepia vas
made
The portait is most beautifully framed
and the gift is one Of which the library
may be proud. The work speaks for It
self and anyone who sees it will certain
ly know that Mr.. Dean has expended his
best effort thereon. When that is done,
as Is well known, something is the result
OF which the subject is usually proud.
The picture will be hung in the library
in a few days and it will bear evidence
on it's face that Mr.. Dean has endeavorsd
to really do his best.

the battle and went under the guns Of
the fort, where she stayed. The Mer-
rimac continued to fire on the Mime
sofa, and very badly damaged her, but
with the flood tide she went back to
her ANCHORAGE, fearing that she would
be left in the mud if she did. That
ended the battle.
"There is no use to tell me that the
Merrimac was defeated in that fight.

was not defeated at all. She drove
the Monitor to seek shelter, and she
stayed out in the fight for several
hours longer. We never did get
another chance at the Monitor and

rimac had not lost her nose in that

showed the Monitor clear out of the

it were today. 1t was a memorable
event in the worlds history, and am
gladI saw it But l know the history
Of the fight, and no one can ever tell
me that it was the victory of the

ONLY ONE BALLOT TAKEN.
G. W. HdmIiH, Of Greene County,
Nominated for Congress,
DEFEATING JUDGE JAMES cOONRY.
Gov. DOckery Was Present and Made a
Speech-A Harmonious Convention.

c. W. Hamlin, Of Green county,
was nominated for congress on the
first and only ballot at Sedalia We'd
nesday. The vote stood "A for Hamlin
and AZ for Judge Cooney, Of Saline.
The Hamlin vote was cast by the
counties of Greene, Polk, Benton and
Lafayette. Howard, Saline, Pettis
and Hickory went to Judge Cooney.
On Tuesday there was considerable
talk at Sedalia about contesting
delegation from Polk, but it failed to
materialize and there was not an in
harmonious event connected with
entire proceedings of the convention.
The convention was called to order
shortly after IL O'Clock by 0. T.
Hamlin, chairman of the congress
sional committee. J. II. Rhodes, of
Pettis, was named as temporary
chairman and Herman Pufahl, Of
Polk county, for temporary secretary.
The committee on permanent organ
ization continued Mr.. Rhodes as
chairman, but substituted R. III.
Womack of the INTELLTeENcER for
permanent secretary.
The committee on resolutions sub
mitted the following report, which
was unanimously adopted:
We, the democracy of the seventh
congressional district, hereby reafilrm
our allegiance to the cause Of demOc-
racy, and especially to the entire
platform of our last national conyen-
tion held in Kansas City.
We hereby express our gratitude at
being able to point with especial pride
to the democratic administrations Of
Missouri, from Silas Woodson down to
and including our present administra-
tion, and we particularly desire to
point to the present administration,
both financially and otherwise.
We express our full confidence in
Governor Doekery's administration
and the splendid condition Of our
state affairs at this time.
We wish to express our confidence
in our representation in congress and
their stand as taken on all matters
that have come before them, and
heartily endorse their actions.
We condemn in particular the
imperial policy of the republican
party, which has plunged US into the
unrighteous and unjust war with our
allies In our recent war with Spain--a
war which is being carried on in
denial of the principles Of the rights
of all people to govern themselves, to
uphold which principles the people Of
the Philippine islands were mainly
inspired by the example OF democratic
forefathers.
While the committees were out
looking after their respective duties
ringing democratic speeches were
made by Governor Dockery and Hon.
E. M. Richmond, of Howard county.
Following the nomination Of Mr..
Hamlin, Judge Cooney addressed the
convention pledging his earnest sup
port to the nominee and a similar
speech was made by Hon. E. NJ.
Richmond, who spoke in behalf Of
the Howard county democracy.
Mr.. Hamlin made happy speech.
thanking the convention for the honor
conferred.

WIN Get Another Depot.

1t now seems almost certain that
Lexington will get new depot, and
that it will be located at the foot Of
Tenth street. Inasmuch as fast pas.
senger trains are TO be put on the
river route this will prove a great
convenience to the people Of this city.
The railroad company will build the
depot but expects the town to furnish
the lot, which will no doubt be done.
1t also seems certain that extensive
terminals will be put in at Myrick,
but no additional depot will be built
there. The present branch depot
will be maintained.
The river route, when completed,
is going to greatly benefit Lexington.

after camp that had been attacked
by the Indians and the entire train
burned and the trainmen murdered.
The trip lasted thirteen months and
upon his return to Missouri he again
resumed his work in the conference
until compelled to locate on account
of i'll health. In 1885 he suffered a
fracture of one Of his limbs, and not
having recovered sufficiently to take
a new work when conference met, he
decided to locate at least temporarily.
During the ensuing year he was
taken sick and for three years his life
was almost despaired of. However,
he finally recovered partial strength
and filed many appointments through
out the county.
December 81, 1890, while returning
from a trip to the country, he was
thrown from his buggy near the resi-
dence of James H. Minis. 1t was a
cold, rainy evening, and he lay at the
side of the road, unconscious, until
discovered by the Misses Wynn, who
were passing by. They notified Mr..
Minis, who assisted Mr.. Austin to
his house, where his wounds were
dressed. The wounds received in
this accident were many bruises, one
ear almost torn from his head, and a
violent concussion of the spine. He
never recovered from the injury to
his spine; in fact, it indirectly re-
suited in his death.
Two years ago he complained of
rheumatic pains in his limbs, and
nearly year ago small tumor de-
veloped above his hip This grad
ually grew until his physicians
decided an operation was necessary,
Since then this tumor has been a
continual drain upon his system and
his vitality gradually ebbed away.
The latter part OF September he was
taken suddenly i'll with a violent
chill and these recurred with great
frequency and several times his life
was despaired of. He made brave
struggle, but each recurrence found
him weaker. The last one came
Monday afternoon between and 4
O'Clock, and at 6:15 the tired body
gave up the fight and the spirit took
its flight.
Thus closed the life of one of the
best and most useful men who ever
lived in Carroll county For hav-
ing lived here, our community was
made better; through the influence OF
his life our community was lifted
upon a higher spiritual plane. 1t is
such mon as these that we can i'll
spare; in his death the community
has sustained loss that is irrepara-
BILE, and which viii be realized more
and more as the years go by, yet the
influence of the life he lived will last
forever

Of whom the deceased was the young

Ball, Mrs Esther Heston and William
Austin, four brothers and sisters
having died almost within the past
twelve months
