On Friday evening . BAzO0 repre-
sentative boarded q coach on the Missouri
Pacific road and hied himself to Warrens-
burg, where he secured the following items
OF interest for the entertainment and in
struction Of the readers Of the great relig-
ious daily-the SUNDAY MORNING BAzOO:
Miss Kate Robinson. who has charge
III the Simmons house dining room, for
merly OF the Garrison house, Sedxlia, has
been quite i'll with fever for the past few
DAYS, and unable to attend to her duties.
On Friday evening she was reported better.
but her physician says it will Be several
DAYS before she will be able to leave her
room.
Bob Dalton, OF the Exds house, is Is
happy Is = clam ut high tide. Hehss had
his Office enlarged to nearly twice its
former size, and when all the improve
ments contemplated are completed he will
have one of the neaiest and most comfort
able hang-Outs in the state. He deserves
il, for . more courteous landlord never
scratched . pen.
Prof. Osborne, president Of the faculty
Of the normal school, returned to the Burg
On Friday evening from q brief visit to
Boonville. The school opens on the first
Monday in September, and the first three
or four days will be spent in examinations.
The prospects for an increased attendance
are remarkably good, and those in charge
are consequently jubilunt.
Dan. d. Williams is home again, al
ter IN absence 1t some celebrated western
watering place where health is restored to
the invalid. He says he never ielt better,
and as he has not smoked cigar for
nearly three mOnths-something very I'M
usual with him-the BAzoo man is inclin-
ed to the opinion that tho trip did him at
least q small amount Of good.
-Warrensburg is like unto Sedalia in
one respect, at least. There has not drop
oi rain fallen in the town for weeks. al
though neighborhOOds but q short dis
lance away were blessed on Friday with
quite refreshing showers. Owing to the
absence OF . street sprinkler, the dust is
nearly shoe top deep, and the average
Quarry Cityite is far from happy.
MIR. u. d. Hawkins. the well-known
Justice Of the peace. left on Thursday for
a visit to the northern part Of the state,
where he was summoned To attend FAM
ily reunion. Mr.. Hawkins is an O!ti-time
printer and first-ciass one, toO-but he
has laid away the stick and rule. and now
earns his Dread in manner less labOriou>
than in the days when the writer first
knew him.
Hogs are allowed to patrol the streets
III Warrensburg- for sanitary pur-
lOses only. The citizens devOnr daily sew
eral wagon loads OF watermelOns, and
the rinds are cast into the streets, where
they would he allowed to rot and give
forth disagrecable stencil were il not for
the "porker." His hogshiP quietly
swoops down upon the remnants, and thus,
in all probability, cholera, yellow fever,
ETC., is averted.
agement Of Phelps 4 Williams, seems to
be prospecting to the highest degree. The
proprietOrs are gentlemen who thoroughly
understand their business, and their sue
cess is easily accounted for. Mr.. Williams
is also an old newspaper man. and the
pencil pusher who is not at home in his
company would be dissatisfied with seat
on the throne in heaven.
Ed. and Gus Cress are still holding
forth at Alamosa, Col, where the former
is employed A. superintendent OF water
service for the Denver 4 Rio Grande rail-
way. Gus is not doing anything, and is
not very favorably impressed with the
country He compares it to shell, with
all the fire extinguished." 1t might he
prop 20 state in this connection that
Jo' rutchfeld is willing to back him
:" statement.
Along the line Of the Pacific road,
between KnobnOster and Warrensburg, the
effects of the continued drOuth are easily
perceptible. Besides the injury to corn,
the grass is all burned out and the gen.
eral appearance Of the country would in
dictate that it was the middle Of October
instead Of August. In many places fences
and ricks Ofgrain have been burned, caused
by sparks from the railway engines.
