Letter From Mr.. HOux.

Lexington, Mo-, Aug. ID, '16.
Mr.. A. w. Allen,
Lexington, Mo.
Dear Sir
May l express through your
paper the many kind feelings l
possess for my friends, for the
support they gave me in the late
primary. AS democrats we have
all realized in the last two years
the real greatness Of the demo-
cratic party.
I If we had had another leader
during this time than the one we
now have, it is a grave question
as to what would be the condi-
ton of this country today.
With President Wilson leading
we have no fear of a real war,
so it behooves all of US to keep
him in the lead and that means
work all along the line.
Respectfully,
N. M. HOUX.

Athletic Whitewash Concordia.

Athletics WhiteWash COncOrdia.
The Allied balltossers of Lex
ington made an awful drive on
the German boys from Concor-
dia Sunday, and the result was
many prisoners and twelve yards
of trenches. The game was very
fast until the fifth inning, when
the wrecking crew of the locals
got busy and made five scores.
In the sixth they made six more,
and in the seventh, one. The
Athletics made 8 hits and Con-
cordia, A.

Schmelzers Are Coming.

SchmelzerS Are Coming.
The greatest opportunity of
the season for the Lexington
Athletics to make history and
incidentally to jam a ram rod
down the backs of some Of the
weakly constituted local fans,
will come Sunday when they
play and win from the Schmel-
zers of Kansas City. The Schmel-
zers are some "punkins" when
it comes to playing the national
game. They have a record Of six
teen straight games won, and
Whalen, their pitcher, has work
ed in thirty-eight consecutive
innings without being scored on
The local boys also have a rec
ord to be proud Of, and wher
they hook up with the Kaw boys
next Sunday, there will be some
doin'.
The batteries for the Schmel.
zers will probably be Whaler
and Harmon; for the Athletics
Carmichael and Brown.

Star-Spangled Banner" until the
end of the show, when every
body gets up anyhow. Ordinarily
the band starts this melody
when the lady in pink tights
walks across the taunt wire
with a flag held in either hand
and, as soon as some patriotic
individuals have arisen, changes
to 'Everybody's Doin' It."
There were no ordinary graft
ers with the circus. Of course
there was a side show and a
concert" An individual rented
at twenty-five cents each some
straw cushions that ordinarily
sell for a dime, But the thin
Ible-rig outfit was not in evidence
and there was no crew Of dips.
Altogether the show was high
ly satisfactory. It made good
money in Lexington, and those
who attended got their moneys
worth.

sign of rain. Everybody com
planned of the heat, but who ever
thought of staying away from
a circus because it was too hot?
Early in the morning the Rob
inson Shows arrived at the depot
and moved upon Taubman's
pasture. Almost simulaetously
the vanguard of out-of-town
visitors appeared, and all morn
ing long people kept coming
from all parts of Lafayette and
Ray counties.
At eleven o'clock, when the
parade started, the streets were
thronged. The parade was cred
liable. The poor circus people
almost all of them dressed in
red-must have been uncomfort-
able as they rode through the
sun, but they did their duty
cheerfully. The bands played
Justify, the equistrians sat up
right, the clowns threw kisses at
the ladies', the calliope footed
and marshal occasionally
warned an onlooker to watch his
horses.
There were, of course, two
performances under the big top.
Both in the afternoon and in the
evening the seats were all taken.
And everybody seemed pleased.
The Robinson show is only a
two ring, one platform affair,
but everything is good and some
times it was hard to tell what
to look at.
The bareback riding was not
wonderful and there was no fly
ing trapeze work; but there
were enough exceptionally good
acts to make up. There was a
troop Of Japs who did almost
everything in the acrobatic line
and did it well. The Nelson fam.
lily, consisting now of one mar
and seven girls, was as usua,
excellent. The trained elephants
were splendid, and a troop Of
trained seals put up about the
best exhibition of animal intelli,
gence that has been seen in these
parts. A large body of clowns
filled in the gaps acceptably.
The band is deserving of spec.
ial mention. The director doe'
not beat four-four time accord
ing to the accepted standards
but he gets good music from hi
men, and too much praise canno
be given the arranger of musi,
for refraining from using, 9TH

Richmond Remains Dry.

The local option election in
Richmond Friday resulted in
a victory for the drys by a
majority of 145. Richmond
voted dry eight years ago by a
substantial majority. They
were so well pleased with the
changed conditions that the re-
suit was never in doubt.
