Phillips Gallenkamp

Friends in this city have re-
marriage of Prof. Claude Phillips
and Miss Ella J. Gallenkamp at
Washington, Missouri, Wednes-
day, September %. This is a sur
prise to the many friends of Prof,
Phillips in this city, who had no
idea that he was contemplating
such a move.
Prof. Phillips served for sew
eral years as superintendent of
the Lexington schools and during
his time of supervision he inn
improved the schools wonderfully
and became exceedingly popular.
He was reared in Odessa and SER
we'd for some time as county
commissioner. He is therefore one
of the best known men from La
fayette county and he has in it
hundreds of the warmest admir-
ers and friends.
Since leaving here he has had
the chair of education at the
Wamensbwg normal and he has
proved one of the most prominent
and most liked professors of
that institution. He will spend the
coming year at the University Of
Chicago, where he has a fellow
ship, having obtained a leave of
absence from the Normal
His bride was a student of the
Normal and is said to be a most
attractive and accomplished
young lady,
The lntelligencer joins in ex-
tending congratulations and best
wishes to Prof. and Mrs Phillips,

Working on Sewer.

Workmen under the direction
of Gus Haerle began Thursday on
the Main street addition to the
Highland avenue sewer. This ex-
tension will run up Main street to
Eighth and then back to the alley
in the rear Of the Elks' club,
Largely due to the efforts of the

should next receive attention
as conditions on that street are

The huskieSt quintette that
ever wore Wentworth uniforms
will have the center places this
year. Wilson, who made such a
great showing as "A tackler last
year before he had his leg broken

are Blake, a veteran of the past
two years, and Butler, who play

in at 1875 and is strong and fast

MRS. MOSES ANSoN DEAD
Came From a Family Prominent
in Lafayette County.

Mrs. Moses Arson. for many
years a resident of this county,
died ut her home near Tabo post
office last Monday morning. Her
death was due to a complication
of diseases starting with acute
bronchitis.
Mrs. Arson was formerly Miss
Letitia Frances Fitzgerald and
was born in Midway, Kentucky,
in 1913. With her parents she
came to this county in 1858 and
she has lived here ever since. At
the age of fourteen she united
with the Christian church and she
was one of the most ardent mem-
bers of her congregation.
She was married to Moses An
son in 1860 and this union has
proven a most happy and beauti-
full one. Four children were born
to it and three of them survive
They are Mrs. w. A. Anderson
of Odessa, Mrs. r. A. Davissor
of Higginsville and J. II. Ansor
of Iligginsyille.

THEATRE SEASON OPENS
The Blue Mouse" Proves TO Be
Quite Satisfactory.

The local theatrical season
proper was begun Wednesday ev-
enmg when at Geyer's theatre
one of the companies of Sam $.
and Lee Shubert, Incorporated
put on "The Blue Mouse" The
production was widely talked of
and well advertised, since recent
ly two companies playing it he
gan their winters work simulta-
neously in Kansas City and st.
Louis. We got the st. Louis com
pany and a good one it was.
An audience of fair proper
tions, containing many of the
most intelligent people Of the
town, was on hand and it seem
ed pleased from the time Day S
orchestra started the overture
until, after the denouement, the
final curtain slid down. Judging
from the expressions heard on all
sides after the performance all
those in attendance were pleased
with the new policy of the man
agement.
The play Wednesday night was
an adaptation by the late Clyde
Fitch from the German of Alex
ander and julius Horst. 1t is a
farcical comedy with the fun
thrown in big chunks along the
broadest line. Even a stage Eng
lishman could see the humor of
it. There were the most glaring
asides and monologues and I'M
possible condolences. But all
these made laughter and making
laughter is the only avowed in
tention of the piece.
The characters were all well de
lineated Miss Alma Earle took
the title role end scored strongly
(She may be surprised when she
reads this, but the audiences Of
Lexington, no matter how pleas
ed, never applaud. very much.)
She was little, well-dressed, viva
cious and spoke distinctly anC
unmusically, just as she should
d Il. Hallam was exceedingly
good as the frisky old gent and
though in the third act he stumb
led once or twice in his lines, he
made much of his part. Jack Bel
grave was, next to Miss Earle
the big laugh. He had to put OF
most of the overdone comedy anC
his agonizing expressions and co
poreal gesticulations were anus
ing in high degree.
r. N. Dudgeon also did a clev
er piece of pseudo-tragedy an'
Frank V. French was anothe
good old man. Miss LAWNS
Thompson successfully portraye'
the homely wife of the railroa,
president. Jas. Dumont, Chas. E
Clarke and Miss Josephine Ken
ETY. did well as the utility play
ers. "The Blue Mouse" wa
worth the price of admission am
then some.
Manager Haekker states, how
ever, that he was financial
the loser on the deal; 70
although the first floor was we
filled the up stairs was practica
ly empty. Therefore, he says, III
less the box office receipts ar
better for the next few product
ions, he will have to take on tn
melodramas and stock compal
les.

OUR OFFERINGS FOR FALL EMBODY THE LAT
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1909-11-25

had Joined forces last summer in their
school work, and the consolidation of
schools and transportation of children to
public schols in the rural districts of some
of the state was cited. Virginia had
found that scheme very satisfactory, and
In some of her counties several wagons
and teams are now being used in trans
porting them to and from their school
houses.
The state superintendent referred briefly
to Industrial education, to school libraries,
courses of study, normals and county in
stitutions. Arbor Day, corn clubs, work
of county superintendent, etc, all of
which met with the hearty approval of
the superintendent and others who had
the pleasure of hearing the address
Governor Noel Speaks.
At the conclusion of the address of the
state superintendent, Governor Noel was
introduced and spoke at some length, tell
ing his hearers that he stood squarey for
the state normal school, and that he fav-
ored the agricultural high school, and ex-
pressed the belief that the next legisla-
ture would be able to get around the color
line on which the law was declared UNI
constitutional by the supreme court. He
declared that IL he had noticed this feat
ure of the bill that was adopted by the
last legislature he would have called at
tention to 1t before 1t was submitted.
Governor Noel impressed on the super
intendents that one of the greatest needs
of the schoolroom these days Is the en-
forcement of discipline, and declared that
the teacher who does not enforce 1t
should be discharged.
The governor had no more love for or
confidence in some books that are being
used in the public schools than have
great MANY other folks who have from
time to time been called on by little chill
dren to assist them In their lessons. He
had discovered that he could not render
assistance In the present day arithmetics
or Biographies, as they are entirely diff
ferent from anything in use when he was
in school.
One of the most important subjects
preached by the governor was that of the
public school fund, on account of which,
and the pensions, some of the counties are
receiving more from the state than they
pay into the state treasury. He called
attention to the fact that rs per cent of
the states revenues Is now being paid on
account OF education. The state might be
able to stand that kind of reciprocity for
a WHILE but not forever, especially since
several of the counties seem to have I'M
dertaken to unload on the state by reduc-
ing the amount of their contribution to
the state treasury. Several of the great
timber counties are systematically de-
creasing their assessments, but in the
course of 80 years their timber, their one
source of wealth, will be gone, and then
they will have serious trouble. The boil
weevil was also playing havoc in some
of the counties, and the prospect was that
for few years times are going to be
hard in certain sections of the state.
