Simply a Lie

In Tuesdays BAzOo appeared an Asso-
ciated Press telegram from New York,
stating that the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers had sent out agents 20 stir up
agitation throughout the country, and Ia
promote harmony i'm the order before the
demand is made for an increase of wages,
80 tina; when the time for strike comes il
will be more effective
Last evening a BAzOo reporter met Mr.
J. II. Fitzgerald. member of the Broth
erhOod i'm this CITY, who desired to know
something in regard to the telegram re-
ferred to. He stated that there was not a
word of truth i'm the dispatch, as far as the
Brotherhood is concerned. for the order
does not deal with strikes in the manner
stated.
At present no trouble OF any kind is an
ticipa;ed, and not a single division has
sent out agitators TO stir up the subject OF
increased wages.
The brotherhood is on friendly terms
with all the railroads OF the country, and
ii is not even among the probabilities that
strike will occur at any time I'm the near
future.
Mr.. Fitzgerald said the publication al
ready made was calculated to do injustice
to the order of which he is member, and
the BAzoO takes great pleasure in giving
the facts i'm the case

railroad tickets from Liverpool to Sedalia.

A MISSING DRAFT.
How Agent Faulhaber Was
Worked Up Yesterday
About His Wealth.

Yesterday forenoon George l.. Faul-
haber, esq, stepped into the First Nation
al bank to purchase a draft on St. Louis
for small amount. While producing his
money, he took from his pocketbook a
draft for SIS, which he mad just received
from a party i'm Texas, and laid il on the
counter before him. Just then ID. ii.
Smith, esq, came in and called Mr.. Faul-
haber's attention to picture hanging on
the wall, and together they admired it for
a few minutes. when Mr.. Faulhaber turned
away to finish his business.
Instead of giving to Fred. Guenther
cash, he said probably YOU would Just
as leave have the SD draft" Fred said
he would, and asked where it was, and on
looking for it, Mr. Faulhaber was not
little surprised to find that il had disap-
peared while he was gazing at the picture.
He had noticed a man enter and get a
check cashed while he was talking with
Mr. Smith, and oil course supposed that
the stranger had appropriated it. He did
not know the man. and neither did
Guenther. The latter, however, remember
ed that the check cashed for the stranger
was given by Beck Il Messerly, and TO their
store Mr.. Faulhaber proceeded.
They, too, were ignorant of the mans
name. They had purchased from him SO
worth OF meat, giving check payable to
bearer, and the man had departed. MIR.
Messerly was certain he would know the
mans team, however, and i'm company they
started out To find il.
At the yard back of the market house
they found a wagon and horses which Mes
serly said was the property of the farmer.
and Mr.. Faulhaber awaited his return, only
TO find ii was not the right party. Again
he and Messerly started in search of the
and this time were more sue
cessful, for the sure enough team was stand
ing i'm front of Scheers blacksmith shop.
For second time Mr.. Fauihaber sta
toned himself to await the owners return,
and was soon rewarded for his pains, for
the stranger and his wife We're making
their way toward the wagon.
George approached the head of the
family and inguiredsi if he had not picked
up piece of paper at the bank earlier in
the day. He admitted that such was the
case, and he had it with him. hut did not
know it was of any value. Alter consid-
cradle fumbling, he found il wrapped up
with his money, and turned il over TO the
rightful owner.
Mr.. Faulhaber SAYS he Is pretty well sat
istied the stranger, who is q farmer resid- /,
ing near Camp branch, had attempted Ia
get the cash on the draft. and only failed
because it was not endorsed ON the back. /.
He was satisfied at securing his money, I
however and hereafter will be careful how /
he leaves his drafts lying around loose.

A Little Mixed.

A lady called at one of our prominent
grocery houses day or two since and
asked for baking powders. One of the
proprietors, who at that moment happened
TO be in, was engaged talking to his girl.
He was as polite TO the lady customer as
a French dancing master and responded
that he had baking powders and went and
brought her cream of tartar instead of
powders. The lady didn't examine the
package, surprising it to be what she
called for, went home and put the tartar
into cake she made for the parson that
was soon to call. The cake was as
sour as a crab apple and weighed a ton.
That cake wasn't among the viands spread
ON the board for the parson. The lady
says the gentleman is excused for making
the mistake; that love muddles fellows
top-not sometimes, wonderfully.

THE SHORT ROUTE
To Heaven Taken by an Aged
COlored Man at Beaman
this Morning.

Andrew Taylor was a sort of colored pa
triarch at Beaman, in this county. He
had always been an extremely religious
man, and year or two ago became a mild
sort of lunatic on holy subjects. He after
wards seemed to regain his former mental
equilibrium, and no further symptoms OF
his delusion were noticeable until a short
time ago, when his neighbors discovered
that he was again becoming insane on re-
ligion.
About four o'clock this morning, Taylor
who was an extraordinarily early riser, got
up from his bed and went out into the
yard His wife supposed that he had gone
to feed his horses, as his habit was 10 do
the first thing Oh rising in the morning.
After the lapse of few minutes the old
lady heard something 60 off. She rose and
went to the door, which was closed, and
upon opening it, found Andrew seated on
the door step, minus of a considerable por-
ton of his head. He had a shotgun in one
hand and the ramrOd. with which he had
touched the gun of, in the: other. The
door was bespatlered with brains, and Tay
Tor was dead.
No reason is assigned for the rash deed
except that the deceased was suffering from
an liberated condition of mind conse-
auent on religious excitement. For some
DAYS past he has been i'm the habit of con-
stantly talking on subjects connected with
the church, the hereafter, his worldly goods
and condition in life. taking very des-
pondent view of matters. and kindred
topics. He seems to have AT last made up
his mind to exchange this world for the
next and to have undertaken the trip this
morning accordingly.

Yesterday afternoon about train time a
young man named Parker Hardin, from
LamOnte, and VINO was i'm an inebriated
condition, went into the Garrison house
saloon and announced his intentian OF
vomiting on the floor. George Graham,
the bartender, told him that he would not
be permitted to do so; whereupon Har-
din called the bartender an unspeakable
name, and observed that if he would come
out from behind the bar he would shoot
him. George jumped over the bar and
elected Hardin from the premises, giving
him lively humping i'm the operation.
Officer Mike Whelan and Deputy Con-
stable Barnett happened to be at hand, and
Hardin was pinched and taken to the
cooler. John ID. Russell became his bonds
man, and he was allowed to depart until
this morning, when he was fined five dol
lars and costs for his amusement.

A CROOKED COUPLE.
How They Duped the Citizens of
Holden.

Ii is very seldom the pure and virtuous
city of Holden is visited by any class other
than those of refinement. culture and So
time ago a creature and mate, calling
themselves A. X. Cook and wife, made
their debut i'm the character of hair
dressers, crayon artists, dressmakers, etc.
How lucrative their many professions
NAV have been. matters not. The male
proved his skill i'm one direction, Monday,
by Knocking the scales from his supposed
wife's eyes, dressed her hair i'm bangs"
and her face was artistically painted by
pOnderOus touches of black crayon from
the savage fist of Cook. III. III. Still. city
marshal, yesterday swore out warrant
and marched him up to the mayors office,
charging him with wife-beating, and was
also prepared To swear out a warrant for
bigamy.
The mayor, after reading the complaint
asked Cook whether guilty or
not guilty. lie hesitated, but finally
pleaded guilty Ia the beating. hut said the
woman was not his wife. They had OBJ
tanned board at the house of n respectable
citizen, who feels terribly indignant at the
practiced upon him and his
family. The mayor fined Crook SD and
COSTS. and he will pound rock instead of
like his companion.
Mr.. Still also swore out warrant charg-
ing both with adulIry.
Cook was baptised lew nights ago in
the Baptist church and the female fraud
likewise made religion cloak Ia deceive
honest citizens.
