BOONvILLE, August 25.
We watch with considerable interest
here in Boonville the games which your
Sedalia base ball club plays with outside
clubs. The Boonville club got disguised
when they were SO badly beaten last year in
Sedalia, and have never rallied since
We have any amount of good material for
a club here in Boonv!lle, but for some
reason one can't be organized. There are
probably more base ball enthusiasts in this
town than any other of its size in the state.
and rs we have no club of our own these
people have taken the club of some neigh
boring city as their favorite. Jefferson
Sedalia has many admirers.
POLITICS.
There is not much said about political
| matters in this county and town as yet, ex-
cept by the professional politicians. They
| newspapers occasionally feel the public
pulse or inaugurate little blooms, but 1t is too
long till the convention for that to be much
active work. The Topic supports Randall
for the speakership and the Advertiser is
! for him also, il is said. but is afraid 10
speak its sentiments. Hon. John CosgrOve,
congressman from this district, resides in
Boonville. He is understood to be l. I
Is. s. Cox, of New York, for speaker,
though he discreetly keeps his own cOun-
sci. For governor the Topic advocates
Marmaduke and the Advertiser hesitates
between Bashaw and Hon. John F
Williams, and has kind word for all The
candidates. Marmaduke will carry the
county with whoop. Samuel j. Tilder
is the favorite among the Cooper county
democrats for president. The Advertise
is booming him every week. Next to Til
den comes Mcdonald. For state officer.
we are first and foremost for Col. Bob Nc
Culloch for reelection to the office u
register Of lands. After that it dOesn'
make much difference.
STILL AT LARGE.
The prisoners who escaped from oul
county Jail on Tuesday last are still q
large. George Sibley and son. colOred
have been arrested and lodged in Jail 10
assisting them in their escape. 1t is charR
ed that the two negroes sold the prisoner
skin Monday while they were at work il
the rock quarry below town, and left j
convenient for them that night, with oar
i'm il and unlocked Elias Smith, or Coz
is the man who made the unsuccessful
break for liber.y at Pilot Grow
week before last. Smith va
was engaged to be married to
Saline county maiden, and in order to pro
cure the necessary money for the perform
ance he stole some wheat and sold it. III
l was captured almost Immediately, how
Grand before he could get married. Lind
sey, another of the prisoners who escaped
is the lightning rod man, charged wit
forgery. who is also wanted in Petit
county for horse stealing. Hedgepeth ant
Saunders are in Jail for assaulting Deput
Sheriff Williams about eighteen month
ago. Every effort is being made to apprs
bend them, but as yet without success.
SCHOOL BOARD MATTERS.
Considerable dissatisfaction is expresse
BY persous interested at the action and il
action of the Boonville school boar,
Their choosing Prof. Morton for anoths
term as principal was far from meetiI
popular approval. However much of
,. scholar and gentleman Prof. Morton ma
be, those who oppose him claim that he
not the man for principal of our school
The selection of teachers il also severe
criticised. In order to vent PERSONAL spit
a resolution was adopted by the board, d
.. claring that no married ladies should
employed to teach. This had the effect
depriving the school of the services OF tv

Hutchinson and Mrs. NJ. E. Wright, again
