An Indispensable Requisite to
Health.
And q Thing Of Beauty II Q Public
Park.

Years ago. the BAzoo advocated the e.
tabli-hment of a city park, and since the,
a, different, times the press has labored fo
the same important object. Al last indi
vidual- have taken the matter In hand, snt
Yesterday a petition was circulation u d.
presented To the Council praying that tie
the Normal school lo, on Broadway be -e,
aside Tor public park.
About three years ago Mr.. J. K. Barrett,
made very liberal proposition To donate Ia
the city several acres on the high prairie
southwest Of tOwn under certsin conditions
which involved but l,ttle expense. while
they world insure a beautiful place oi rec
resiion to our people. This proposition, or
rather gift, Was not accepted, and II is now,
perhaps, too late for any benefit to he de-
rived from il. The city is fast filling mp,
and now OF never is the time To secure this
indispensable adjunct To future health and
happiness When Sedalia shall be hemmed
in, aud the pure air shut out, ~ high walls
OF brick and mort ,r, il will be too late 4"
find that breathing SPOT aud place Of beauty
that properly kept park afio,ds.
All that is necessary to secure an inesii-
is for man nov 10 provide few acres, plant
a few trees aud shrubs, and vote a lit,ie
time 10 their cultivation God will DO the
rest, and cioihe it with beauty and fresh
nes- that will increase n the city grvws in
numbers aud prosperity.
La sanitary point 81 view. alone. = pub
lie park is an absolute and indispensable
necessity to the general health Of any city
Of ten thousand inhabitants. 81. Louis has
eight parks. agsregstiag some thousands "f
acres, in different parts Of the city. upon
which she expends something like two mil
lions Of dollars annually. Aud the NOR
lality statistics show that 81. Loni- is the
healthie-t city in the United States, il not
in the world.
Another element Of advantage, and equal
y essential il, that pubic park furnishes
, place for recreation. Ladies and their
children can there enjoy the pure air and
,leasant surroundings in safe, and with
,omiort and benefit The mechanic aud
aborer, too, with his family could then
ind an enjoyment, which, like Gods bounties
rere intended for all. and well-kept public
,srk has moral effect that has been ap-
,reciated - all communities where large
'uml'ers Of people are compelled To reside.
Nothing adds mere to the attractions of
ity than well-kep. park. and it leaves

II seems that there were more men en-

No doubt the ladies Of Sedalia would like
to know sonnet hing about this woman Of
whom the whole country il nov talking of.
The following Washington telegram thus
describes her:
She is well-looking woman, shout IS
years Of age. Of good figure, bat On ordi-
nary face. Her hands are beautiful, and
she played them to their best advantage,
toying with . fan and sesturing in .
Frenchy way. She is exceedingly Frenchy
in all her manners, and has the Partisan
shrug to perfection. No one of the many
spectators present enjoyed the exhibition
more than she, and she lost no opportunity
to show her wit OF cross words with one of
the committee. She evidently loves uoto-
riety, and wants to be the heroine Of the in
vestiga;ion. At times she was quite dra-
matte, and her French accent made it more
forcible. During the examination she sat
lazily in her chair, and when . question
vas asked abe looked steadily 10 the eyes Of
her questioner. and kept them there until
her answer was delivered. Then she would
glance around the room to see the effect Of
her words. Not O.,ce was she thrown
Of her guard, except when Butler
produced her letter to Kellogg, which she
said Vas breach OF confidence, ami she in
sisted that Butler should not read il. She
con,radicted herself Frequently, land 1t was
curious to see how deftly she would crawl
out Of corner. Her ability to evads .
question was remarkable, and she IL the
most tricky witness General Butler has
come across for many day. She vas i'm
pertinent, but the readers Of her testimony
will notice that she always expressed her.
self in refined language. She shows evi-
dences of culture but is evidently . woman
of queer tastes. Louisiana people say her
character is good, but that she has . PEN
chant for politics, which has made her name
quite notorious in that State. They say
she has been the most potent influence since
the war in the East Felicians parish. and
is the best campaign manager in the parish.
The winters she generally spends in New
Orleans, where her husband has been em-
ployed in the custom house, and il said to
have been q constant habitue of the State

ti0 at times, but was not known 10 be .

THE PLUNGE TO DEATH.
L,fe's Fitful Fever With Henry
Heinrlchs is Forever Ended.

Jefferson City Journal
ShortlA after twelve o'clock Yesterday our
citizens were startled by the announcement
that one of our well known citizens had
committed suicide. X was top true. Henry
Heinrichs had plunged into the mad Mis-
sou,i and ended life that had been an
honored one in J. f1trsan City. HIS hat,
with 4 stone in il, was found at the spot
where he made the plunge TO death, and
this convinced his friends that be had gone
loreyer.
An Immense crowd Of citizens were con-
yresa;ed on the bank and skif,s were being
propelled up and down with sounding rods
to endeavor, If possible, to restore to the
loved ones left behind one who had been SO
dear TO them on earth. All efforts we're in
VAIN. lie leaves ionr little ones to weep
with the bereft widow.
4 few minutes later "a Journal reporter
visited Mr.. H., and. although she wept bit
t.r,v during the recital, stated all she knew
that preceded the occurrence. She said
that Henry had been i'll for three days and
MAS greatly depressed on that account. He,
on the day previous 10 his death, called his
little ones and his wife to him and babe
them farewell, telling the children that
they would soan be orphans. No attention
Was paid TO this remark. He afterwards
Was heard by his wife to remark, "The
priest will refuse me burial ii take my
own life, 30 wish to he buried in the Prot
e>tant gravey ard"
At three o'clock Saturday morning he
called for one Of his employees and told him
TO 60 for priest. Again he remarked that
his hours were almost numbered. A few
minutes before twelve he vas observed By
some Of our citizens walking in the direc
ton of the river and his hat on the bank
shortly afterwards discovered, told the fear
full story. There were no family Difficult
ties he owed no man . cent was liked b,
all. and Why he should have done this is
mystery. Mrs. H. said that he must hav
been momentarily delirious.

0ored to Death by an Unruly Steer.

The wife Of James W. McCann, highly
respected farmer residing on the South
Moreau, about two miles this side Of Prstt's
Mills, Was fatally gored By steer last Sat-
urday morning about : o'clock. The brute.
an ill-natured stag, had entered her door
yard, and she was in the act Of driving him
out, when he became infuriated and turned
upon her With his horns.
Her bowels we're torn open and she was
otherwise injured. She survived her injar.
les about four hours, when she expired in
great agony:
DIR. Martin, the nearest physician, Wa
summoned. He seved up the terrible
wound in her bowels, but could sdministe,
no relief from impending death.
Neighbors arrived in the city about mid
night, Saturday night, after coffin, and
