A Rising Star.

The Baptists of Warrensburg gave lit
erary and musical entertainment at En-
pire hall on Friday night last. The latter
feature of the entertainment was by home
talent, and was most creditably sustained,
while the former was taken care of by
Miss Olivia Barton. Of Jefferson City, who
gave a diversified programme Of recita-
tions.
Miss Olivia is quite young, and has only
been before the public about a year, her
first appearance being before the Press
convention, which met last year at the
capital.
But the young lady gives strong promise
of becoming irst-claSs star a. an elocu-
ZIONIST She has decided natural talent
in this direction, and is hard and con-
scientious student At her first appear
ance she made clean sweep of the hearts
and cool judgment, of the editors who
heard her and their comments were most
complimentary tn the young debutante.
Free from those stacy faults which 50 OF
ten mar the efforts of female elocn:ionists,
Miss Olivia also adds the grace and charm
Of a pretty face and handsome figure,
while her carriage is one OF ease and the
very poetry of motion. That she will
succeed there seems no doubt and every
promise.

of whom the BAzoO has had occasion
to speak frequently He, it will be re-
membered, first visited Sedalia In 1873,
passing himself of As a private detective.
His subsequent career Is too we'll known to
be given at length, but is briefly this: He
deserted his family here, and they are now
living al Boonville. He travelled through
ont the country, representing himself first
as one thing and then another.
At Montgomery City he won the afiec-
tions OF an estimable young lady, and was
about TO marry her before his true charac-
ter became known. The BAzOO learned OF
his doings and he was
FORCED TO LEAVE THE STATE
on account Of the publications made in this
paper.
For q time he has been lost to view, but
on Thursday night a BAzOO man again
struck his trail. He is now holding forth
at Barry, ILL.,, a small town on the Wabash
road, lev miles east Of Hannibal. Here
he first made the acquaintance Of the good
people by introducing the star System" Of
dress cutting, but subsequently opened out
an insurance Office. OF course he repre-
sented himself as a single man, and as
such

vestigated Ellis past record, and informed
Miss Allen that he was a married man
and villain Of the deepest dive. This, as
a matter of course, broke off the engage
ment, but Ellis denies the charges and is
awaiting lapse Of time for vindication.
To the citizens Of Barry the BAzoO has
no hesitation in saying that Ellis is a
scoundrel with a heart blacker than char

him the better they will be of. This paper
will continue to pay its respects TO him,

MEANT NO WRONG.
BENJAMIN Huttson, CHARGED With
BiGamy, Is Found Not
Guilty.

On last Friday, Benjamin Huttson, from
near LamOnte, was put on trial In the
criminal court, charged with the crime OF
higamy. Soon after the time Of the al
legged bigamOus act, which took place In
this city on the 18th of Nav, 1881, Justice
Weber performing the ceremony which
united Huttson to Miss Carrie Sharpe.
the defendant was arrested and placed in
Jail. lie soon afterwards gave bond and
was released.
The BAzOO gave an account at the time
of HuttsOn's arrest, and also the following
statement OF his former marriage: Five
years previous TO his union with Miss
Sharpe. Huttson was married to Mis-
Mollie Willard. in Johnson county. After
a wear or 50 of marital infelicity, the
couple separated, the vile going, eventually,
To Colorado. After a time Huttson was
told, and he believed the report true, that
his wife was dead. He had removed, in
the meantime, to the neighbOrhOOd Of La
monte, where he met Miss Sharpe. After
a time they became engaged and were mar
ried. Shortly alter this, Huttson, as has
been stated, was arrested for bigamy, his
former marriage becoming known.
The trial came off last Friday, and the
case was given To the jury about = o'clock
in the evening. After few minutes de-
liberation the jury returned with verdict
of not guilty, and Huttson walked out Of
the court room a free man, in company
with his wife, who had chung to him and
stayed by him during his trial.
The defense set up was that HuttSOn had
acted in good faith in this second mar
riage; that he believed his first wife was
dead, and that ne intended no violation Of
the Law. 1t is not known whether she is
dead or not.

They Picniced.

Prof. h +. Hickman, OF the Washington
school, took his scholars out ON a picnic
Friday, Flat creek being the point visited.
There was a large crowd and a merry
one, with the usual games, swing and other
amusements incident and necessary to such
an excursion. Prof. Hickman cxerted
himself to see that all enjoyed themselves
and that no accident should mar the occa-
sion. The usual tired crowd returned
home at a proper hour, but all declared
the day.had been delightful one.

Shot Himself Accidentally.

Geo. Jackson, the man who was reported
as having attempted suicide on Con-
ductor Andy Browns train, on Thursday
morning, is rapidly growing convalesoent
at Hannibal. He now says he accidentally
shot himself, and had no idea of taking
his own life As he was greatly under the
influence of liquor at the time, this is
probably correct statement. He had
over $500 in his possession, so was able
to- receive the best of surgical aid, and
will soon be ont again.

A Deserved Compliment.

There is an old adage to the effect that
what is worth doing at all is worth doing
we'll. This was the inspiration which
prompted Miss Lille NJ. Bruner, Of this
city, in the preparation of her address OF
welcome to- the Woman's Board of Mis-
sions, which recently met here in the
First Presbyterian church. 40 impressed
was the BAZOO with the high literary
character of Miss Burners address that
copy was requested for publication and IL
appeared in these columns. For ehaste
and elegant language, it far surpassed any
paper presented at that gathering and IL
received just and hearty compliments
from all who heard it.
Among the auditors was Miss Sneed
principal of the celebrated female sem
mary at KirkwOOd, suburb Of St. Louis.
Miss Sneed is literary lady Of wide
spread lame and a most competent Judge
of scholarship. She was so impressed BY
Miss Burners effort that she sought her
cat and held conversations with her.
These talks but strengthened Miss Sneed's
first impressions OF the ladys ability and
worth, ana ON her return to kirkwoOd
she wrote Miss Bruner, rendering her a
position i'm the seminary, at salary
larger than Miss Bruner is now receiving
as a teacher in the Broadway school of
this city. This is quite a compliment t.
the lady, though it is only a recognition OF
genuine merit. t.J -
Miss Bruner, ON Friday last, rendered
her resignation to the school board, to
take effect in one week, in order to accept
Miss Sneed's offer. She will soon leave
| for her new and wider field OF usefulness,
and in her going Sedalia loses one OF her
brightest and best teachers, the church

tian women KirkweOd seminary and So
ciety gains, in Miss Bruner, a cultured
and refined teacher and member. Success

German Agriculture.

An agricultural congress
has recently been held in
Berlin, Germany, at which
each of the three classes
of German agriculturists
was well represented. Several
members Of the German Parlia-
ment were present and even the
cabinet was represented, while
the influence of Bismarck made
itself distinctly felt at the con-
vention. The main question. if
not the only one under discus
sion, was that of protection to
German agriculture against
American competition. The
sentiments of this congress, and
the arguments used. were almost
exactly similar to these of the
American protectionist assem-
blies. Resolutions were passed
appealing, in the strongest
terms, to the German govern
ment to impose high duties up
on all American agricultural
products, with the exception of
Indian corn, upon which the
imposition of a light duty was
suggested.

Composition Among Farmers.


With a growth Of the de-
mand there has come vast in
creases Of competition to the
American iarlner. The wonder
fol development Of transporta-
ton facilities has thrown each
grain or stockgrower into di-
rect competition with those en-
gagged ia the same business all
over this country. and in Eu-
rope and Asia as well. The
prices OF the crops grown by
Western farmers are much
more influenced by the good or
bad harvest in Great Britain
than by the good or bad har-
vest il i dozen neighboring
counties Over much of our
country a marked change in
condition is in rapid progress.
In a quarter of a century sew
eral Of the Western States have
passed from the pioneer stage
to that of well settled regions.
sending out large numbers Of
people to FIJI up still newer
regions. As this change goes
on. the price of land advances.
until the rate OF increase in
price becomes slow. Compe-
tition increases greatly, and it
ceases to be the rule that al
most any one can fairly succeed
as a farmer. Excepting some
periods Of final depression. it is
doubtful if any country ever of
fered better opportunities for
reasonable success in farming
than has our own. As the
country grows older, and the
population becomes greater,
with consequent increase of
competition, and Of price of
land. the condition of affairs
will begin to resemble that in
most older countries. Success
in money making will not be
the general rule. 1t will be
won only by intelligent and
persistent effort. There will be
an abundant supply Of men who
can produce the common quail
tiles of farm products in the
usual ways. OalY those who
can produce articles above the
average cost of production win
have satisfactory profits. Bet

gence in the work Of farming
