exclusively Cor the purpose This
year the work OF coaching the foot
ball team has been divided between
Capt. G. A. jenkins and Capt. H. NJ.
Peck as associate athletic directors.
The work Of Captain jenkins in this
capacity for the past two years has
been approved by the splendid record
OF the team under his management.
Captain Peck also comes approved by
an interesting record. He played
left end on the Lawrence (Wisconsln)
University team for four years and
was last year its captain. This team
has held the championship Of Wiscon-
sin for the past three years and was
not scored against last year except by
the universities of Minnesota,

Peck comes with the most advanced
ideas on the subject Of football, and
it is believed that he will prove a
valuable addition to the athletic de-
partment OF the Academy, as well as
to the literary department.

To the Chairman aud Members of the

I learned yesterday on 0my return
from st. Louis that l had been selec-
ted by the Democratic Committee of
Lafayette county to fill the vacancy
on our ticket caused by the resigna.
tion of Hon. Joseph B. Elling, candi-
date for the office OF Representative,
and while l was advised before my
departure OF his resignation, and told
my friends who we're kind enough to
request that | fill the vacancy, that
l would accept the nomination pro-
vlded II came TO me without contest
and with the support Of the Commit
tee representing as it does the De-
mocracy OF the county; and having
noticed 10 the press that others de-
sired the nomination, and being ad,
vised that the Committee would meet
Saturday afternoon, wired a friend
Saturday morning not to allow my
name to be presented, as / did not
desire the nomination. make this
explanation as some comment has
been caused by my telegram, which was
sent uoder the impression that the
committee had not met, and in hope
OF avoiding any contest 10 the party
of which, in my judgement, there has
already heen too much 10 this cam.
paign, | determined to withdraw;
upon learning however, that the
nomination had been made, have
decided to accept, and while l feel
that | cannot afford, financially, to
make the race or hold the office, am
not less appreciative of the honor
rendered me by the Committee.

the close OF the campaign, as 1 have
at all times heretofore, done | desire
to do what l can to aid 10 the elec.

The Bridge.

With nearly ninety thousand dol
lars in valid subscriptions the people
of Lexington could do no madder
thing than to surrender on the bridge
proposition. The same people in
hard times subscribed sl58,0OO to a
much inferior proposition. They
know that this bridge and trolley line
will make Lexington one OF the best
country towns in Missouri for all time
to come without taking into account
any future general improvement.
They know that it will serve to steady
property values at or above the high
water mark OF past years They
know that it will increase retail busi-
ness and cement 10 the county seat
distant and now inaccessible parts Of
the county. They know that If the
bridge is not built it will not cost the
ISscriberJ penny and that it. will
be built, or else Mr.. Haerle will "go
broke" in the attempt. There is not
day to be lost 10 this wolk. The
bonus ought to be raised before the
18th Of the month.

proceeded and the grand climax was
reached on the heavy chords at the
close.
Miss Richardson 10 her next num-
Der, "AllegrO from G Minor Concerto"
by Mendelssohn, won fresh laurels In
Lexington. This selection is re-
garded as one of the most difficult by
this composer and, beirg a favorlte,
is frequently found on programmes Of
leading virtuOsl.
Prof. Savage appeared in one num-
Der, Troisieme Ballade by Chopin.
The selection was well chosen, for in
this the pianist most touchingly
brought out the sunshine and the
shadows which hung over the soul of
the great composer in his declining
days Mr.. Savage studied with the
German masters but is a lover of the
French school as well.

Mrs. Stella Mosby Leighton, en-
tranced all with the beauty and rich.
ness of her voice in her first group Of
songs, but the fnll compass and
capacity was fully reached in "My
Heart at Thy Sweet Voice"-a
selection from Sampson and Delilab.
That sweet touch of nature which
makes the whole world akin was
most charmingly manifested when
she reached the closing ballads. She
shows well trained, full round mezzo

This was Mrs. Leighton s first appear.

the vote was unanimous that the
management of Lexington College

Miss Lynds, The teacher of elocu

place with the audience In her first
number, "Tell Tale" This popular
piece gives great opportunity to show
control Of the voice and the reader
succeeded we'll In the most trying
places, thus showing clearly the
stamp Of Southwlck and Powell, the
two great masters with whom she
studied. 10 the second and third
