The Sedalia weekly bazoo. [volume] (Sedalia, Mo.) 187?-1904, 1883-05-08

1t will be seen by referring to the above
that while all gave literally, yet Il. s
HAYES, second vice president OF the Gould
system, deserves especial mention. The
amount designated as coming from the u
linois Central Railway company, was do
mated by Horace Tucker, the general freight
agent of that line, who was also LAstru-
mental in inducing the stock party"
which ne accompanied, and which was
lust then making It's transit over the K. &
r. road, to contribute the amount set down
opposite to that title.
In connection with the above, it will be
noted that most of the contributions were
from the employees of the K. 4 T., but
while this is true, yet it reflects no detri-
ment upon the employees of any other line,
as it was not because of lack Of generosity
upon their part, but because it was unnec-
essary to solicit farther.
In view of the great success attending the
subscriptions for the piano, 1t has new
been determined to raise q fund for the
purpose of fitting the hospital with
library, and as q preface to this end Mr.. j.
w. Haines, of Parsons, Kansas, has already
headed the subscription list With liberal
donation. 1t is n be hoped that others
will follow his example, IS the cause is one
which strongly appeals to the sympathies
of all who are interested in the suffering
victims of the iron wheels In consonance
with the movement, Col. ]. N. Eddy, while
in Chicago q few days since, made an
arrangement with the publishing house
of Bedford. Clark & Co., Of that city to sup
ply all books or their extensive catalogue
at actual cost. They have also signi6ed
their intent of donating all possible profit
which might other wise accrue to them, and
it has been ascertained that for the sum of
$500 very fairly stocked library may b
purchased.
Under the present supervision OF Mrs.
]. NJ. Eddy the piano was purchased in
Chicago, of the celebrated dealers in pianos
and organs, Julius Bauer & Co. 1t Is ono
of his best make Of instruments and 10
possessed of the depth of tone and ullDess
of expression which constitutes il chef
d'euvre of the piano makers art. The or
i2inal price of the instrument was 5000,
but owing to the grest-beartedness Of Mr..
Bauer, who vas made aware of its destina-
ton, it was reduced to $3.50, thus mailing
his donation an sctual fact of $3.50.
The instrument through the cour-

has been put in position by ]. W. Truxell,
of this city. in the hospital parlor. In adj

purchased, and the musicians of the city
will do we'll TO call there frequently and
thus endeavor to add to the enjoyment of
the bospitais guests.
Subscriptions for the library fund will
be received BY Mrs. Eddy until June LIST,
and be carefully and conscientiously APP
piled to that purpose. 1t is to be earnestly
desired that the employees of tie Missouri
Pacific, both officers and men, as we'll as
the general public, will bear in mind and
remember that it is the little generous acts
BY the wayside that makes for humanity
the true religion, and the very knowledge
of having relieved the tedium of one hour
for those who so bravely take their lives in
their hands that the commerce of the world
may be fsrthered, typi6es the edict which.
