WHAT IT MEANT.
A Telegram That Puzzled Officer
Kelly and Caused Him to
Tap the Bell.

About O'Clock last night the bell at the
ely hail was tapped for policeman, and
of course a BAzoo REPORTER was
at the station house before
the echoes of the bell had begun to die
away. expecting an item which would fill
a column or SO with the usual solid facts
which constantly appear in this paper
But he was doomed to disappointment,
as he only found Officer Kelly with dis
patch i'm his hand, which read thus :
officer did not understand hence the call
for some one who could throw light on the
subject.
The reporter was about TO retire when
Officer jim Gussage arrived In answer to
the summons Of the bell. Iuqnir.ng what
was wante 4 he was shown the telegram by
Officer Kelly, and minated that he knew
who J. k.was The reportorial pump was
applied to the officer in possession of the
kew to the somewhat cabalistic telegram,
but he deemed it imprudent 10 give the
secret away. however. and SO matters rested
until tits morning, when tie officers saw
no Improperly in giving the great secret
away To the news fiend.
Mr.. j. =. Krigbaum arrived yesterday
on the train from the north i'm search of a
span of mules which were stolen from his
pasture, one and one-half miles from
Keytsvilie, Charlton county, on the night
I'll the 9Th inst. Mr. Krigbaum, from GER
tain information which had been convey
ell TO him, was led to believe that the
thief had come this way. He failed
entirely in finding any clue here,
but received the telegram referred
to telling him TO go 10 Glasgow, Mo-,
where he supposes The thief has been apre-
hended. He left on the 1880 train last
night.

The Sunday Question.

The Minister'S association held a meet
ing this morning at the study of DIR. Jack
son, of the Ohio street Methodist church.
The topic of discussion was the desecra-
ton of the Sabbath.
A paper on this subject was read by
Elder J. H. Duncan, of the Christian
church, after which the matter was thor
ough,y discussed in all of its bearings
upon the church and society. AS might
be naturally expected the views of the rev.
erend gentlemen present were in accordance
with the othodox ideas entertained upon
this question BY the church. The present
desecration Of the Lords day, in many
parts of the land, and the raridity with
which a sentiment of disregard and dis-e-
spect for the christian Sabbath is growing,
was viewed with alarm, and it was re-
solved that decisive measures should be
taken for the vigorous enforcement of the
Sunday law, and the punishment Of all
violators of the same for the closing of
saloons on the Sabbath day, and the sup
preston Of all other kinds of Sabbath
breaking.
II was also determined that this ques-
ton shall be presented from the pulpit by
the clergy of this city in a more earnest
manner than ever before.

is SHE A FRAUD?
A Proper Inquiry About an Old
Woman Who Lives III
East Sejali6.

Yesterday evening BAzOO reporters at.
tention was called to an old woman In
Terrv's grocery store next To the post.
office She was in there for the purpose
of begging, and the tale she told would
have melted the Heart of a hickory tree,
had 1.-THE tale-not been too often heard
before.
1t seems that the old woman is in the
habit of going from store to store and play
ing upon the svmpathies OF merchants by
telling that she is a lone widow with a
sick daughter, who has just arrived here,
and that she has no means of supporting
herself This is not half she ponrs into
the ears of those she supplicates, but il
has been enough to show her up AS fraud
of the first water. Al every solicitation,
no matter how long il has beer since the
former one, she tells that her daughter has
Just ARR ved, that she is sick, that the cruise
of oil as well as the meal barrel in Ler
house is empty.
AT first, the old woman managed TO play
her card very successfully. Tor Sedaiia
merchants are proverbialiy charitable
when a deserving case presents itself But
the trick has now been discovered. and il is
probable that the old woman will have To
disguise herself and think up diferen,
plea ii she intends TO live off the help Of
others
And yet it is sad TO see one i'm the autumn
of life, and that one woman, compelled to
beg for living; for the crusts and crumbs
that fall from the rich mans table. 1t is
a pity that there is as little Of the milk of
human kindness as there is, and SO much
of the sordiness and seIfshness which shut
out all kindly syapathies and put double
lock on the parse of those who could SO
we'll be blessing to the poor and needy.
The cruel blasts of winter have already
cent their ayaunt couriers to US, and there
is every sign of severe winter. That Sc
dalia has very few who will need help, in
proportion to her population, is matter
for congratulation, but there are those who,
like this old woman, no matter bow in
consistent their stories may be, will suffer
if not helped. They, like Ter, may be
frauds in one respect, but they are still
human.

A DASTARDLY DEED.
An Attempt to Wreck a
Passenger Train Between
Holden and Gum City
on the Missouri
Pacific.
The Designs of the Villains Frus-
trate6 by the Discoveries
of a Farmer.

From Mr.. d. Z. kenanA, gentleman
who resides at Eat Lynn, Cass county,
and who passed through this city Cd his
way To ST. Louis this morning, BAZoO
reporter learned some OF the particular. oi
a most dasiardly attempt 10 wreck the
passenger train on the Arizona branch oi
the Missouri Pacific last night. The at
tempt was made al a point between Gunn
Cirv and Holden, about four and one-hali
miles west of Holden, between the hours
OF eight and nine O'Clock.
Several piles of Ties had been
placed on the track, but before the ap-
proach oil the train. the distractions were
discovered by a man BY the name Of
Graves, who resides near the road He re-
moved the ties and signaled the train
One p lie of ties, however, had escaped his
attention. They had been placed over a
cattle guard. and some of them wedsed
firmly in, i'm an upright position. between the
rails OF ,he guard The train r]p into
this obstruction. The train, however on
accoun; of the previous Instructions en-
couniered, was running very slowly, and
no damage was done beyond throwing the
front trucks OF the engine across the track.
Mr.. kenang says that had the train been
running AT It's usual rate OF speed, or, had
the engine gone a foot further, il would
have turned over and The engineer and
fireman, and perhaps a number of others,
been killed. The excitement among the
passengers, he says, was intense, and many
stood appalled,, contemplating their narrow
escape from horrible death.
Graves, the man who tagged the train
and averted the terrible catastrophe, says
that he has a pretty good idea who the
parties are who placed the Instructions on
the track. He thinks thai they are men
who have recently had cattle killed by the
trains, and who have hid serious differ
ences i'm making settlement for the loss OF
the same, with tue company. If this BE-
true, the parties should be ferreted out and
brought TO justice, as speedily as possible.
Hanging is entirely too good for such das-
tardly wretches
The train was delayed one hour on &C
count oi the accident.

Got it Bad.

Bob Ford has received the following
letter, written by young lady who lives
at Joplin. She evidently has q romantic
turn of mind IS we'll as soft heart and
head:
DEAR SIR-Your act was one which
could only have been accomplished by a
man of courage. You have rid the world
of human tiger. What hunter would
have thrust himself in the lair OF q tiger
with tigress and young. You saved the
country from q terror that preyed with
artful deviltry upon deienseless man and
woman. Let those who question the man
ner in which you accomplished your great
purpose explain why they did not volun-
teer to hunt down the man who deied the
law. who killed its officers and laughed to
scOrn the soldiers Of the state. cnngratu-
late you upon ysur success upon the stage,
and have no doubt you will win an hon
ored name in your new profession. Please
write me, if il is only to acknowledge the

myself your friend. Miss -"
