FIRE AT BRIGGS
ConflagatiOn Was Confined to
the Basement.

There was a fire in the base
ment of the jewelry store of j..
H. Briggs yesterday morning at
2:3O. Only a few goods box
es were burned and most of the
damage resulted from smoke. II,
Sinauer, who rooms over his
store next door, was awakened by
the smoke and turned in the
alarm, to which the fire com
pany Immediately responded.
Fire Chief Nick Hammer dis
played excellent Judgment in
refusing to throw water before he
located the exact blaze. Con
sequently there was no water
damage on the first floor.
y circumstance which held
the fire in check was the melting
of joint in the water pipe in
the basement. The water flowed
out and quenched a large part
of the fire.
a crowd of about a hundred
people variously clothed gathered
to witness the proceedings. The
assembly was quiet and offered
very little advice. It's main di-
version outside of looking at
the smoke was in jOshing the
few who had taken time to put
on collars.
Mr.. Briggs this morning
was unable to estimate his loss,
but said it was covered by insur-
ance. A piano Of the Hoffman
Music Company was slightly
smoked. There was some smoke
damage in the store of H.
Sinauer.
The cause of the fire is not
known.

AerOplanes to Stop Here.

At meeting of the Com
mercial club Thursday afternoon
twenty citizens agreed to raise
$500 to make Lexington a sta
ton in the aeroplane race from
St. Louis to Kansas City. Will
lam T. Heathman of the State
Board of immigration addressed
the meeting and stated that the
$4,000 for the first prize had
already been raised and that
the small cities in the itinerary
were expected to make up enough
to make suitable second and
third prizes. The race, he said,
would be in either July or 0cto-
Der.
There was no difficulty at all
in getting the guarantee. If the
deal materializes the stopping Of
the flying machines here will be
a big thing for Lexington. A
large crowd win come to town
and a lot of advertising will re-
suit.
An attempt was made to get a
mass meeting in the evening; but
announcement was made at such
a late hour that only a few
turned out.

Friday afternoon the Elks
dress parade was held in con-
junction with a great horse show.
The Elks attired all in white
with purple ties and purple and
white umbrellas led the parade
to the Main street when they OPP
ened ranks and over 81, 600, 100000
worth of bloOded horses, ridden
by most beautiful young women,
and led by the great saddler, Rex
Mcdonald, passed through the
lines. The parade was almost
two miles long and was intersper-
sed with bands of music. Joe
Grady and John Price confess
that they didn t see a horse, but
OH you riders.
Immediately after the parade
the Macon and Mexico herds pro-
ceeded to pull off what they
had advertised as championship

Clarence A. Summers Dead.

Sad, indeed, was the news when
it was learned that Clarence
Summers was dead. He died
at his home on Lafayette street
at $50 o'clock Sunday morning
from heart trouble.
Mr.. Summers was born August
%, 1872, in Lexington and was
a son of Isaac Summers. He
has lived in Lexington nearly
all of his life. For several years
he was in the employ of John c.
Young, Jr., but of late years he
has been conducting a livery bus
mess of his own. Mr.. Summers
was well liked and his business
was prospering. His sudden
death in the heyday of man
hood is a severe shock to his
family and friends.
Mr.. Summers was married
January 6, 1902, to Miss Fan
ME M. Mitchell, who survives
him. He is also survived by
his mother, Mrs. Sophia Anne
Summers; one sister, Mrs. Bess
Bullard, and two brothers, Ebert,
of this city and Clyde, of Kansas
City.
The funeral was held Tues
day afternoon at 2 o'clock from
the home on Lafayette street.
Rev. R. B. Briney conducted the
services.

time Mexico is entitled to a
place at the head of the process
sion. Mexico is a good town,
it is a pretty town and it is filled
with good people who seemed to
enjoy having the Elks with them.
1t goes without saying that the
Elks were glad to be there.
The Missouri Elks association
was organized last October, when
one representative from each
of twenty lodges met in Mexico
for that purpose. Last Thursday
the first meeting of the associa-
tion began. All but six of the
Elk lodges of the state were
represented and most of them
sent pretty good sized delega-
tions. The hotels were filled
and Hardin College pressed into
service. The town was so full
of Elks that it was taxed to
its capacity in caring for all the
visitors.
The entertainment provided
was of a very choice variety and
generous in quantity.
Thursday morning Mayor
Potts turned over the key of the
city to President Vaughan Of
the Elks. The key was really
unnecessary, for the Mayor had
dismissed the police force, shut
up the city court and put a
closed" sign on the city Jail.
In the afternoon the Madi
Gras parade passed through the
streets, headed by Teddy R. re-
turning from the jungles. All
the animals were there. Our
friend, Joe Briggs, helped out by
doing a giraffe stunt. By the
way, Briggs is not a bad
giraffe. The parade was good.

lodge put on an A No. / minstrel

ELKS CELEBRATE
Missouri Herds Gathered
Week at Mexico.

The Missouri Elks held their
first big state celebration in
Mexico last week, and it was
some celebration. The Elks lay
claim to being the Best People
on Earth, and the city of Mexico,
presuming that the claim had
some foundation in fact, as well
as in the modest minds of the
antlered herd, had ready and
waiting for the "Bills" as fine
a sample of openhanded, old
fashioned Missouri hospitality as
was ever seen in the old state.
That puts it pretty strong, but

know that they are welcome and

Millard Price Dead.

Thursday afternoon at about
8 80 o'clock, Millard Price COM
mitted suicide by taking car
bolic acid. He was in the
presence of Miss Mary Arnold,
who struck the bottle from his
hand but not until after he had
swallowed enough of the deadly
acid to cause death. DIR. NJ. G..
Roberts was summoned imme-
diately, but arrived too late to be
of any assistance.
Mr.. Price was born February
12, 1884, and was twenty-six
years old. He was the son OF
the late Tom Price and Mrs. Anna
Price. He is survived by his
mother, four brothers and three
sisters, as follows; Claude Of
Portals, N. NJ, Albert of Kan
sas City, George and Thomas of
Lexington; Mrs. Gus Frischer
and Misses Blanche and Kath-
crime, all of this city.
The body was taken to Alger s
undertaking parlOrs from where
it was conveyed to the home OF
his mother on Lafayette street.
No definite funeral arrangements
have been made.

together with the profuse deco

MO. PRESS ASSOCIATION
Met Last Week at Cape Cir
ardeau.

Press Association ever held was
the one from Wednesday to
Saturday last week at Cape Cir
ardeau.
About $50 of the thought dis
seminators with as many more of
their wives and children en-
barked Wednesday morning on
the steamboat, Cape Girardeau,
at st. Louis and at nine o'clock
sailed down the river. The
Sixth Regiment band, the ex-
cellent dinner, the delightful
breeze and the good-fellowship of
Of those on board made the trip
a glorious one.
At $50 the boat reached the
Cape and the editors were wei
coined by throng of citizens
headed by a band. Then the
guests found their hotels and ate
supper. In the evening there
was a session in the large audi
torium of the Cape Girardeau
Normal School, which surprised
everyone by its size and equip
ment.
The meetings Thursday
were held at the court hOuse-the
morning one in the court room
and the afternoon one on the
lawn. Shop talk was in order.
In the evening there was another
meeting in the Normal auditor
ium. There were excellent ad-
dresses by Winifred Black
who, is really Mrs, Bonfils-of
the Kansas City Post and Lee
Shippey, the talented and poetic
editor of the Higginsville JEFF
fersonian. After the meeting
there was a reception with re-
freshments in the halls of the
building.
Friday the Frisco did itself
proud by taking the editors with
their friends on a trip through
the southeastern part of the state,
which is now being reclaimed
through the means of immense
drainage bitches. Mr.. Gray,
the first vice-president and gen.
eral manager of the Frisco, per-
sonally conducted the trip. At
Kennett the train stopped for
dinner and the excursionists par
took of big fish dinner pro-
vided by the citizens of the town.
At six a tired, dusty, grimy, hap
py bunch returned to Cape Cir
ardeau.
That evening there was a
booster meeting" in the au-
ditorium. Saturday the editors
elected officers for the ensuing
year, listened to a few extemper-
aneOus speeches and departed
for their respective homes. For
those who had to come through
st. Louis the Frisco provided
without expense another special
train of steel cars.
NOTES OF THE MEETING.
Col. Fred Naeter, who with
his brother publishes the Cape
Girardeau Republican, was large
ly responsible for the great sue
cess of the meeting. He was in
consequence elected third vice
president Of the association. The
Republican, by the way, is about
the best equipped newspaper
plant for $4,000 town in the
