Lost Her Child.

Mrs. Thompson, a lady residing on Fifth
street, whose husband is absent in Illinois,
called upon Marshal Shy this morning and
related a circumstance that caused her not
a little uneasiness. For some time past a
brakeman named Hatfield, of the K. e. +.
division, has been boarding with Mrs.
Thompson, and had taken a great liking
to Mrs. rs. little daughter, aged nine
years. This morning Hatfield took the
child and in company they left on the
east bound Pacific train, but for what
point or what purpose, the mother knows
not. With tears in her eyes Mrs. Thomp-
son implored the officer to assist her in re-
covering her child. Mr.. Shy telegraphed
to the authorities at Jefferson City to take
the little one into custody and return her
to Sedalia on the evening train, but did
not request that Hatfield be detained. II
they have gone rs far east as the capital,it
is possible Mrs. Thomson will recover her
daughter this evening.

DEATH OF JUDGE GIBSON.
He Passed Peacefully Away at
Half-past Three O'clock Yes
terday Afternoon.

This community was not little shocked
last evening to hear that Judge William
Clay Gibson was dead. He had been all
ing for some eight months, but it was not
until the past few weeks that his illness,
the nature of which seemed to battle medi-
cal skill, assumed serious nature. The
latter part of last week he was reported as
i'm a critical condition, but on Sunday
word was received here that he was better,
and his many friends hoped that he would
eventually recover. 1t was vain hope,
however, as he passed quietly away at his
residence, eighteen miles northwest Of Sc
dalia, at half-past three o'clock yesterday
afternoon, and few hours later the sad
intelligence was received i'm this city.
During his illness he received every at
tention that medical skill could les,ow,
but TO no avail. At the time Of his de-
mise there was ut his bedside the immedi-
ate members of his family, and also his
brother, Gilbert {. Gibson, of Virginia.
Judge Gibson was born in LOudon
county, Virginia, in 1881, where he remain
ed until he was twenty-cight years OF age
At that time he resolved To remove to the
west, and in 1889 he located in Pe,tis
county, since which time he has resided here.
His occupation, that OF ,iller OF the soil,
proved remunerative. and ut the time OF
his death he was considered one Of the
most successful farmers and stock raisers
Of which the county could boast. In 1864
he was united i'm marriage to Miss Mollie
Gregg, and unto them was born two chill
dren-Eugene, aged sixteen, and daughter.
now eighteen months old. Seven years
ago he was elected judge OF the county
court, which office he held at the time Of
his death. As public official, no man
stood higher. and in his demise Peitis
county loses one whose place it will not he
an easy task to fill. For years past Judge
Gibson was a devout member of the Meth
oiist church, and he passed away without
a fear of the hereafter
The funeral took place from Blackwater
chapel at IL o'clock this morning, and
many citizens of Sedalia were in attend
ance to pay a last tribute to the dead. The
county Offices are closed to-day in menu
Ory of the deceased.

Burned to the Ground.

VIM. r. johnson, who has been operat-
ing the coal banks two miles west OF
Jiughcsville, on what is known as the
Grgg farm, arrived in the city this morn
ing and related to q BAzoo reporter the
particulars of the destruction OF his house
and household goodb by fire yesterday
morning. In company with his family, he
lett home about 8 o'clock yesterday morn
ing to attend the funeral of the late Judge
Gibson. There had been q fire in the
kitchen stove, but the last ember was sup
posed to be extinguished. They had not
been gone more than half an hour when
the roof became igaited from the stove
pipe, and in . short time the building and
ss:nts,nts were mass of smouldering ru-
ins, no. a single article being saved. The
house was of frame, and consisted of three
rooms. Mr.. Johnson's loss is fully 500,
on which he had no insurance.

NELLLE'S RIVAL.
Something Regarding the Young
Lady Who is to Ride Against
Miss Archer.

One vi the principal features Of interest
in the coming expositing is the twenty
mile race between Miss Nellie Archer,
OF Green Ridge, this county, and Miss
Cricket Still, Of BelOit, Kansas. These
two young ladies will represent Missouri
and Kansas respectively in this race. and
the friends III each are willing to back
their favorite.
Oh Miss Archer, who is in attendance ut
the Brownsville fair to-day, the BAZOO has
spoken before. but comparatively little is
known in this vicinity regarding her rival,
Miss Still, who is represented As Il spright-
~ girl fifteen years OF age. or one year
younger than Miss Archer Miss Still is u
blonde, with bright gray eyes. She Was
born on the Delaware reservation, between
Lawrence and Ieavenworth. She rode
a horse before she was u year old, and can
remember riding alone when only four
wears old She first rode in public at leav-
cnwOrth, when she was but seven wears
old. She is oi the mos, independent dis
position, and all her riding has been done
under her own guidance and at her own
free will.
She has practiced hurdle riding, and can
ride on either side or straddle or even
standing up. She does almost all her rid
ing without saddle-with nothing upon
the horse but a surcingle she can let her
self drop so n to touch the ground and
Immediately regain her seat. She is anat-
ural equestrian, and takes To a horses back
Just as naturally rs duck to water. Her
weight is Just hundred pounds, and she
stands exactly five feet and one inch high.
She is most perfectly adapted in every way
to the task she has undertaken, standing
~ straight as an arrow; she is broad
shouldered and excellently propOrtioned.
Her limbs are large and very muscular,
and every line Of her form indicates
strength and toughness in every degree.
She is all hone and muscle, and she has not
a pound superhuous 6esh. Her back is
very broad, and its form and perfect curv-
allure denote the greatest degree Of strength.
She has the greatest physical endurance,
and possesses perfect confidence in her
ability to win the race, which, in contest
Of this kind, goes great ways.
The people Of Missouri and Kansas,
and, in TACT, the whole west, are looking
toward this race with the greatest possible
interest; and while MissOuri's representa-
tive, Miss Archer, may have worthy ad
versary, Petfis county proposes, and there
is money to back it, that Nellie Archer
shall emerge from the race With flying
cOlOrs.

Something in Regard to the Wo-
man who Figured in the
Blitz Diamond Case.

The trouble of Jake Blitz, son of Kan
sas city pawnbrOker, with his mistress
Addie Ayers, was pretty thoroughly VEN
iiI.ted BY the papers here; but Of the
woman Hammond, who also figured in
the case, comparatively little was known
On leaving here. Tuesday, she visited
HoustOnia, intending to 60 from that
point to McAllister Springs.
In speaking of the woman Hammond
the Kansas City Times says:
Yesterday several of Miss HaMmond's
friends called at the Times Office, and last
evening the following card was received
KANSAS CRY, August 10, 1881.
To the kansas City Times.
As friend of Miss Hammond ask
space i'm which to deny certain allega-
lions of the Sedalia papers regarding
The Young lady. In the first place, the
assertion that Miss Hammond was dis
charged from her situation as private
Teacher of mathematics and elocution in
this city, is wholly false, and needs only
snquiry from the head of the family
who has known Miss II. for years-to
meet with emphatic denial Miss Ham
mond's acquaintance with Mr.. and Mrs.
Kiitz has been very brief, but becoming
warmly attached to Mrs. L. and learning
IL her domestic troubles and unhappiness,
she has, to her credit as an outspoken
-'women's rights" woman, sympathized
~ith the weaker party (of whose history
she knew nothing, and naturally incurred
The resentment which inevitably falls to
the share of the we'll meaning, though,
perhaps, mistaken, third party in domes-
tic difference So far from encouraging
the separation, Miss Hammond, through
her kindly Offices, reconciled these same
parties but few weeks ago, and OH the
present occasion her sole offense consists
in repairing to the assistance OF her
friend, who, in her trouble, turned to her
for sympathy and aid.
The inmates of the house where Mr..
and Mrs. Blitz boarded regarded them as
lawfully married, Mrs. B. having in her
possession her marriage certi6c ate, which
several parties saw.

Mrs. Catherine Whelan, wife Of Officer
Mike Whelan, died at the family residence
on Thirteenth street few minutes before
seven o'clock this morning. One week ago
to-day she was taken with malarial fever
and gradually grew worse until Tuesday,
when it was thought change for the bet
ter was perceptible. 1t was Of short dura-
ton, however, for on yesterday the family
physician gave her up, but she fingered
until this morning. and passed quietly
away.
She was deyOut member OF the Catholic
church, where the funeral services will be
held at nine o'clock tomorrow morning.
A sorrOwing husband and three children,
the youngest not yet one year old, are left

with Mr.. Whelan, who, within the past
two weeks, has lost his wife and brother
by the hand OF death.

FIGHTING THE BANK.
Some Big Pots Played for at Sara
toQa, This Season.

A Saratoga correspondent SAYS the gam
blers had q great run of luck the other
night. II have Just left one Of the heav-
lest games Of faro / have seen since the
close Of the war;" said an old New Orleans
sporting man. The boys are making
great winnings, and will break the bank II
they keep on With their luck.
The game was in progress at the Spen-
Ger house, and in large room were con-
gregated between thirty and forty men,
about a dozen OF whom were seated in
front Of the faro layout and playing the
bank" There were many well-kn0wn
faces from New York present. II vas, in
deed, heavy game, for every turn Of the
cards decided from $1,000 to $500. As
there were twenty five turns in one deal
there being 6fty-two cards in full pack
the reader can see at glance that the
gain or loss Of immense sums was decided,
as the saying is, in "less than no time"
Every one appeared to be in luck, and the
bank was hit in one nights play, it il
said, to the extent of $4,000. 1t seemed
to be q crusade OF the New York gamblers
against western capital, and the New
Workers won, although the bank is in full
operation again now.
1t seems a mystery where all the money
comes from, for bank notes appear to be a.
thick a. leaves OF the forest. The other
dav on the race-track shabby looking in
,lividual took from his pocket a rusty
looking tin tobacco box, but it was packed
with 500 notes, and he paid nine Of them

willow Trees.

Walking up Tenth Avenue the other
day we noticed small willow tree in
the yard of j. M. Davies, and it re-
minded us of an experience with them,
Seventeen years ago we setout willow
slip, and were told that the roots would.
in due time, reach our well and DESTROY
the water. The well being fifty-six feet
deep, and twenty of that through rock.
and some sixty feet from the tree, we
thought that there could be no danger.
At any rate we told our friends we
would run the risk, and we did to our
sorrow. The tree grew to be very
large, and many a time has a large
party eaten supper in it's shade. 1t was,
perhaps, the broadcast tree across the
top and gave more shade than any in
the city. Some three or four years ago
the water in the well did not taste as
well as it did before, and it kept grow
ing worse and worse. In the spring OF
1880 cistern about fifty feet from ths
tree was cleaned out. In the bottom
were three or four bushels of roots oil
the willow, as fine as hair They had
penetrated through the brick and
through the cement without causing
the cistern to leak. This satisfied IN
that the willow roots had found their
way into the bottom of the we'll and de.
stroyed the water. By this time, too,
they had become SO thick as to make it
almost impossible to draw bucket of
water. There was only one remedy
and this was to fill up the well and DIG
new one, and to cut down the willow
tree. 1t was done but occasioned much
murmuring among the children who
had grown up under its shadow. We
have written this to say to MIR. Davies
and any other person who has a willow
tree on his place, within the city limits
to cut it down and dig up the roots. Ii
you have no well or cistern your neigh
Dor has and the roots will find water.
