BEAUTIFUL WOMEN SPIES
Plan of Fort Tattooed on Back Of
Soldiers Sweetheart.

Long before the war it was known
that Germany employed hundreds OF
feminine spies-beautiful society wo-
men, in many cases, says Answers.
These women have played important
parts in the present campaign.
Here is a typical case: By accident
a woman handed a sentry the very
note that she was to have given to the
Germans, in mistake for the permit
that she was TO show in order to cross
the bridge between Varangville and
St Nicholas. She was charged be-

Common Sense.

Longfellow could take a worth
less piece Of paper and write a
poem on it and make it worth
$65, 5,000-that's genius. There
are some men who could write a
few words on a piece of paper
and make it worth $8,000,000-
that's capital. The United States
can take an ounce and a quarter
of gold and make it worth $40
that's money. A mechanic can
take material worth S5 and make
it into watch springs worth
$1,000-that's skill. There is a
man in Chicago who can take a
fifty cent piece of canvas, paint a
picture on it, and make it worth
S1,000-that's art. A Greek can
take an article worth 75c and sell
it for $1-that's business. A
woman could purchase a hat for
75c but prefers one worth S27-
that's foolishness. A ditch dig
ger handles several tons of earth
for $1.5O a day-that's labor.
The author of this can write a
check for $9,OOO,OOO, but it
wouldn't be worth a dime-that's S
rough. There are people who
will tell you that other papers
are as good as this-that's
nerve. Take $1.OO and get a
years subscription to the Intel
ligencer-that's common sense.

NEW EXCHANGE
OPEN TO PUBLIC
A Large Crowd Inspected the
New Building and Equip
ment.

HlelJs
Last night in response to an
invitation by the Lafayette Tele-
phone Company the citizens of
Lexington had an opportunity to
inspect the new Exchange build
ing on Franklin street. Careful
preparation had been made for
the convenience of the visitors
so that every detail of the bust
ness could be examined by them
without crowding or confusion.
Employees were at every hand to
explain the intricacies of the
equipment and to direct the Wis
itors from one point of interest
to another. On the second floor
punch was dispensed, and in the
main Office souvenirs were given
to each visitor. Capt. Days
orchestra furnished the music.
Apropos to this event and in
appreciation of what Mr.. Gra-
ham has accomplished in giving
Lexington the best telephone
system in Missouri, The Intelli-
gencer wishes to go on record
as being entirely in sympathy
with the proposition that he will
lay before the city council, viz:
The two party selective line for
residences with no increase, or
an increase Of 25 cents a month
for the single current. For bus
mess phones a reduction of so
cents month for a two party
selective line, and for the single
current the price remaining at
$500 month.
A careful investigation of the
telephone situation will convince
a majority Of the patrons that
they are enjoying a service that
is superlatively better than that
enjoyed by any other city of the
size Of Lexington in the country,
and that for less money. We
have a new Exchange which is
one Of the show places of Lex
ington equipment modern to the
minutest detail; an all night ser
vice; courteous and obliging op-
orators, and in fact a system as
nearly perfect as human agency
can make it.
We believe the people of Lex
ington are appreciative of these
things and are willing that the
Lafayette Telephone Company
realize a fair return on their in
vestment, and will favor Mr..
Graham's proposition.
The Lafayette Telephone Com
pany has been a liberal contrib
utor to every enterprise for the
betterment of conditions in Lex
ington, and in fairness to all, the
citizens should make possible
satisfactory conditions to insure
a continuance of the benefits de-
rived from so fair a utility.

News From jeff.

bNll
The bill continuing the SUI
preme court commission has
been passed by the Senate.
Coy. Majors appointees on the /
st. Joe police commission board !
have been refused confirmation
by the Senate. st. Joe has had a
terrible wrangle as to the action
of her police commissioners in
standing with the saloon ele-
ment, two Of the members hav-
ing been indicted by the grand .
| jury. Kansas City's police row
is mild compared with that of
st. Joe.
There will be no "dry" legisla-
ton this session despite the fact
that the drys have a majority in
both the Senate and House. The
dry leaders moved too slowly in
presenting their bills and the
vets took advantage thereof. So
while the vets blocked all dry
legislation, yet the failure should
largely be credited to the dila-
tory tactics of the dry leaders,
and if anyone is censured it
should largely be laid at the door
of those having charge of dry
legislation. With a majority in
both house and senate the drys
could have gotten any and all
Legislation wanted, had they
been awake to the situation and
introduced their bills at the first
of the session, instead Of in the
last two weeks. So the drys
out-generaled themselves, pos
sibly through apathy or the fear
that the enactment of dry laws
might cut off some Of the pay
leaders jobs.
The railroads Of Missouri in
accordance with the inspired pc
titions they had circulated in all
parts of the state and forward
ed to the legislature, urging an
increase in passenger rates, got
a knot" tied in the tail Of
House Bill No. 514, which fixed
3 cents per mile for passenger
rates. This "knot" will prevent
the people being pulled through
the hole the railroads had dug
; for them. The bill was en-
crossed after a thirty-four hour
battle, but the 8 cents per mile
demanded for passenger rates
was stricken out and 212 cents
per mile substituted as the max
imum rate only after a thorough
inquiry as to the actual physical
value Of the railroads traversing
Missouri, and that the present
passenger rate Of 2 cents a mile
shall continue in force and opera
tion until such physical value
shall be ascertained and such
increase found to be an actual
necessity. This is indicative Of
of great flood throughout
Missouri, as the raising Of pas
senger rates from 2 cents to 2l2
! cents per mile can only be made
f after Squeezing" the water
out of railroad stocks in order to
find out the actual physical val
ue of the railroads. 1t will be a
o sea of water" greater than the
flood of 1874. So the people won
a big victory and the railroads
: will not get the coveted 3 cents
per mile nor the 212 cents per
!. mile in years and years to
come. Even if thousands of in
q spired railroad-circulated pc
. titions were signed by persons

give the railroads the 8 cents
they asked. These petitions and
kilograms had as much effect in
influencing legislation as the
