ROBBED AND DESERTED.
A Wife of a Day Cruelty Deceived
by Her Husband.

Kansas City, Mo-, July IA few short
months ago Minnie Meyer was a happy
young lady Of st. Louis, and cOntented
with her lot, although it was somewhat
lonely one. In All evil hour, however,
about three months ago, she met man
giving his name as John Williams, who
soon succeeded in winning her heart, and.
eventually her hand. Miss Never is ma
tive OF Germany, from which country she
came about two years ago, leaving all her
relatives behind In the old country. she
settled in ST. l. uis, and has gained a live
lihOOd there by working as domestic.
She has gained partial knowledge of the
English language since her arrival in this
country, but is quite unused to the wiles
OF men, consequently when Williams made
her acquaintance and informed her that
he was also a German and stranger in
strange land, she took pity on him, and
this feeling soon ripened into love. The
affair progressed smoothly, and last Tu. s.
dag morning they were united IN marriage.
That same evening he announced his
purpose OF going to Kansas City. and all
their things were soon packed up. In the
evening he took these things to the depot
and shipped them to this city, and then
telling his newly made wife To follow after
the next day and meet him in Kansas City,
Williams left. The poor girl trussedShim,
and suspecting nothing, took the train for
Kansas City Thursday evening, arriving
here this morning. All her things and
most of her money was in her trunk which
was in his possession, and at last she began
To fear that he had intentionally deserted
her. She reported the matter at the Cen
trail police station In the afternoon and the
officers were Instructed to keep a look ont
for Williams and find him ii possible. The
wife now thinks, however, that he has left
her and seems much affected over her loss
Of not only a husband, ;but OF all her
worldly goods

ANOTHER WIFE DESERTER
G. T. Wright, Formerly Of Scnen
City, Guilty Of Strange
Conduct.

Mr. {. F. Wright, former we'll known
citizen OF Schell CITY, has got into trouble
and will doubtless be compelled 20 narrate
the cause OF his, TO say the least, eccentric
conduct in court.
Mr.. Wright was married about two
years ago, since which time ne and his
wife have maintained apparently pleasant
and happy relations, but 10 the surprise Of
all of his friends and acquaintance,
Wright, it is alleged, some days go,
DISPOSED OF ALL OF His PROPERTY
and left for parts unknown, leaving his
wife entirely destitute.
A warrant for The arrest of Wright was
placed in the hands of Sheriff Fisher, who
soon found his man in Kansas City.
Wright made no objection 10 returning
with the officer, and lac was accordingly
brought 10 Nevada and
LOCKED Up,
but was released on bail Tuesday. and will
have a preliminary examination before
Esquire Il. F. Herrick, al Schell City, to-
morrow. Wright and his wife have NTH
erto borne good characters in the commun-
ity where they have resided. and their
friends hope that this unfortunate matter
NAV vet be satisfactorily and amicably ar
ranged

Heat: Meat"

This weather is warm, hot, filled with
malaria and disease. Ii is not generally
known that meat, in this weather, is filled
with heat, and is therefore extremely liable
TO breed several of the worst ills that flesh
is heir to. And it may not be generally
known that there is but one way TO kill
meat So that none of these dangers need be
feared. But such is the fact There is but
one firm of butchers i'm this CITY who know
how to kill meat i'm the manner mentioned,
and that firm is Kruse & Frederick, who
keep the healthtest Meath cleanest shop,
the most completely furnished and APP
pointed meat market i'm Central Missouri.
Their meats are served from refrigeratOrs
colder than frozen ocean, each and every
cut, steak or joint being an iceberg. From
the time their meats are taken from the
ice boxes until they are placed on the fire
to he cooked, even the blast OF bake oven
or furnace has no effect upon them. Give
The dandy butchers of this section call at
their palatial meat emporium, corner Sixth
and Ohio.

Coup's Great Show.

The following notice Of Coup's Hippo

some evidence of the general excellence
of the great exhibition. The opinion Of
the press was endorsed by that OF the pub

scale than ever. The street parade yester-

and the thousands OF spectators who fiocked
the streets along the line of march and who
had turned ont solely to witness the dis
play could not have been In the least dis

one in the afternoon and one in the even

large and decidedly well pleased with all
that they saw. The museum and men,

the old curiosity, interest, and study, but
with hundreds that are new and still more

in detail all of the excellent features oi the
show would he next to an impossibility. In
the museum and object of great interest is
the historical tableau representing the

figure of Guiteau is dressed in the identical
clothes worn by the assassin when he shot
The president. In the circus the bareback
riding is particularly creditable, the feais
of Melville, the bounding jocky," being
wonderful i'm that line. Ella Zuola in her
high wire performance and Louise Boshell
are singularily daring. The chariot and
other races around the main ring are bet
ter than ever and exditingly interesting.
The tnmbIing and Acrobatic exhibitions
are as fine as any ever witnessed. The
trained horses, trained dogs, and minor
features of the show are all up to the geneal

Warning Women.

4 couple vi colored women living near
the gas works, have had glorious chance
To got To law and awaited themselves oil
the opportunity. Fanny Neal, bright
muliato, loaned her dress on the pledge of
gold ring, to colored lady of genuine
African hue. In due time the dress was
returned but the ring was not forthcoming.
Then the genuine African conridering her
self bound To have one or the other, seized
the dress and bore il of in triumph. This
was the opportunity Tor Fannie, and
she rushed of to a justice
and secured warrant for
for tie arrest Of the other on 4 charge of
stealing. Somehow the affair was COM
promised at a cost OF $50 to the accused,
and 81 90 to the prosecutor. Then the
genuine black determined to take her
chance at the law, and this morning was
hunting legal advise as 10 the culpability
OF the other for making away with her
ring. The prospect, however, is very fair
for this tremendous matter being compro-
missed. But isn't il singular what eager
ness our colored folks exhibit to go to law
on the slightest pretexts.

The French Lottery.

1t is announced that the French govern
ment has authorized another lottery, so
pressing has been the demand for il on the
part OF the people. The previous one ex-
cited unbounded enthusiasm among all
classes, and the wide distribution of the
numerous prizes gave all ranks taste of
the satisfaction To be had In the easily ac-
quired gains of the lottery.
Yet neither the French nor any other
European or American scheme compares

established Louisiana State Lottery COM

THE COMING BIG SHOW.
The Brute Marvels of the Universe
Canopied Under the Largest
Spread Of Canvas ever
Erected-Six Colossal
Pavilions Required.

The Sells Brothers seem to have struck
the keynote TO success by consolidating
their various tented exhibitions, and their
monster entertainment of six united cir
cuses and menageries is winning golden
opinions wherever it has been exhibited.
The combination will be in Sedalia on
Thursday, July 20. And presenting, as ii
will, such an unprecedented array OF arenic
novelties, SD many of the best skilled artists
in the equestrian and gvmnic professions,
such an unusual programme Of special
features, and SO colossal collection of rare
animals, the attendance will, undoubtedly,
be large Among the performers are the
noted French Family Davene, equally Gel
ebrated i'm ground and aerial acts, and who
have the well deserved reputation of being
the most skilled and daring perform
ers i'm the profession. The aaron and
Washington Troupe are renowned on both
sides of the Atlantic, as acrobats and
musical clowns, and the Rice Brothers have
a national celebrity as first-class gymnasts.
OF Charles Fish, the master hOrseman, no
word of praise need be spoken. His status,
as the Champion Bareback Equestrian of
The world, is so well and SO universally
established, that any endorsement is un-
necessary. SignOrita Adelaide Cordona,
the brilliant young Andalusian Eques-
trienne, is comparatively new to America,
but comes to us heraided by the most lavish
enconiums from European cite, and is pro-
nounced the best four horse e9uestrieDne i'm
the profession, while ner dashing riding. on
a single barebacked horse, has been pro-
claimed without a parallel.

A Physicians Opinion.

A physician writing to the Journal of
health, in speakingof Browns Iron Bitters,
having carefully analyzed its ingre-
dients, says: There is no other remidy
III existence so harmless and vet SO efiec-
tive. No other compound should ever b.
used for general iii health and chronic
diseases oil the pulmonary, digestive, and
urinary organs 1t is mild, vet sure in lis
action, and gradually restores perfect
health and strength to every function of the
organs OF life. Its actions is SO very mild
that there is no room left for reaction and
relapse, neither will its disconti. uance
bring on craving for its use or renewal
of past disorders.

Journalistic Cheek.

Journalists are very prone to hear the
expression, Newspaper men have lots Of
cheek" But We humhly beg leave to plead
a modified plea of not guilty. In their
natural state, newspaper men are the most
modest, innocent, unpretending gulleless
creatures OF the genus homo. But alas
how changed they become after few
years existence in this wicked world, and
contact with its inhabitants. But we add
nit that journalists have little boldness
commonly called cheek, but contend in
defense that il is because of the class of
individuals with which they must of ne
cessity associate.
There is the local, beer bloated politician
who doesn't take paper. and more, does
not deign to notice the editor. But this
same politician is nominated for office.
Then he comes rushing in and wants to
dictate fulsome eulOgy OF himself, and
because the editor refuses to use II,
with ali the assurance of rooster on his
own dung hill, he proceeds 10 threaten
utter humiliation for the poor editor and
goes ont breathing dire vengeance.
A wOuld-be artist brings a daub into the
office, and then because the editor will not
print a criticism SO excellent that the av-
erage piece from MessOnier, Landseer, or
Raphael would be incomparably fattered,
this aspiring artist threatens to use his in
Huence against the paper.
A preacher or lawyer comes In and
wants puff of some last mediocre effort.
A lady gives party and wants full de-
tailed account, with all the fringe work.
including costumes, distinguished guests,
menu, etc. A fellow gets mad at his
neighbOr and wants paper to blow his
hostile friend sky high. A man calls in,
boots muddy, smoking cigar, that should
be put in quarantine or smoked in ten
acre lot, sits down in the editors chair,
which he has left to consult an encyclOpe-
dia, and the stranger coOlly proceeds to
haul over the exchanges and examine the
editorial note book, and o We Gods! peo-
pie persist in saying Haven't newspaper
men cheek %
Thea some OF these same people who
talk of much of cheek, if they pick up
papes and find, that in giving an account
Of some family difficulty the reporter has
not pried into domestic matters'a nd house
hold secrets a century old, the paper has
failed of its duty. So, We must conclude
that little cheek is necessary for our self
defense, and the average newspaper man
is as modest and gentlemanly as the Doors
around him permit.
