Another Boat.

The good ship Lois in charge of
Capt. Pick Davis and First Mate Shug

from her moorings, sadly turned her

Lexington to return no more. After
a faithful service of nearly four
years, she left as she came quietly
without pomp, unheralded She mas
been a good craft, but the wear aud
tear of ferry service gradually
affected her so that it was deemed
advisable to have her replaced by
newer boat. So contract was let
with firm at Usage City and the
new hull is now ready.
Hhe Lois will go to that place and
some of her machinery will be trans
ferred to the new boat, which will be
ready for service in about two weeks,
Every effort was made blythe boat
company to get a substitute ferry
to work during this time, but no suit
able craft was available, So for two
weeks crossing will have to be done
in skiffs,

A telephone message from Albert
Young, who was attending a meeting
of the Lafayette Presbytery at Lees
Summit, was received Wednesday af-
ternoon stating that the Presbytery
had unanimously voted against the
severance of the relations between
DR.. E. G. Gordon and the Presby-
terian church of this city.

protestln IN the congregation. Capt.

Big Athletic Carnival.

For the first time the people of
Lexington will have the opportunity
to see a track meet and a base ball
game in the same afternoon, when
this afternoon the track athletes of
Wentworth will meet those Of Cen
tral High school Of Kansas City and
the base ball team will meet the nine
from Central college Of Fayette.
The track meet will begin at 1880 a nd
the baseball game at $3.50.
The prospects for the track team
are said to be good as Wentworth
has a much better balanced team
than two years ago, when fhe Cen
tral athletes had to hustle to win out.
The outcome Of the base ball game
is problematical.
