SURE TO BE A SUCCESS
Ia the Next Sedalia Fair and Elk
position. Commencing Sep
rember 4tn.

The managers of the Sedalia Exposition
are making herculean efforts to render our
next fair, which commences September 18th,
and continues five days, one OF the grand
est events of the kind ever witnessed in
Central Missouri.
The directors of the fair association held
meeting last evening for the purpose OF
receiving the reports of committees and
looking after general details.
The principal matter discussed was that
of special attractions.
The gentleman to whom has been as
signed the duty OF arranging the
unique and novel entertainment
of the fox chase reported that he had sue
ceeded beyond his most sanguine expecta-
tons, having procured a number OF kennels
of dogs from different parts Of the country.
Mr.. J. RSkinner reported that all of the
arrangements had been perfected for the
appearance of the tribe of wild Indians.
Mr.. Skinner will leave tonight for the In
dian Nation in order to return in due time
with the band of braves, as he has to make
one hundred and thirty miles of his jour
ney overland.
Among the celebrated chiefs who will be
present, are "James Big Heart" "Ssucy
CHEZ "Left Hand, "LOng Knife" al.
fred mot atraid-oi. his horse" "Li;tle Hill"
and "Thomas Moisture" The
Indians will arrive Monday, the day before
the opening of the Exposition, and 60 into
camp at the fair grounds. They will give
daily exhibitions of Indian games, war
dances, etc. This feature of the EXPOSE
ton has been secured only at great pains
and expense, and promises to add much to
the interest of the fair.
Special rates have been secured over the
various roads, and there is but little doubt
but that thousands of strangers will visit
our city during exposition week.

The Postal Change.

Preparations are already being made by
the people for the prospective postal re-
form that goes into effect on the first of
October. People, it is stated by the post
Office authorities, seem to be in hurry to
avail themselves of the privileges of the
decreased postal duties, and the instruc-
tions already so often printed in the news
papers have to be reported day by day at
the Office. The officials will not receive
orders for the new materials formally until
September !, when orders for stamped en-;
get hold of the new 2-cent stamps prema-
turely it will be of no use for him to apply
them toward the paying of postage as they
will not be recognized for any use till the
new law goes into effect. 1t is stated that
it is probable that the revenue of the Of
fee will not be materially decreased by the
change.

relief by law, and that was to serve

CHEERFULLY CORRECTED
And Credit Ascribed to Those to
Whom it is Justly Due.

Officers Wentzleman, Barnett and Nc
Gee feel somewhat sggrieved at the publ
cation of the item in reference to the ar
rest of Robert Thompson and James
Christian, who we're brought back from
Jefferson City Friday by detective tenn
porarily in the employ of the Pacific.
1t will be remembered that one CARRIER
was arrested at an early hour Thursday
morning and lodged in the cooler, being
slated for drunkenness and late hours, OFF,
Ger Barnett, who made the arrest,
rot neing able TO prefer a state charge.
The same night that CARRIER was arrested,
Thou psOn and Christian were chased to
the limits Of the yards by Officers Barnett,
Wentzleman and MCGEE. After ,uuning
naturally supposed that they had boarded
train a short distance from the city and
made good their escape Accordingly the
three officers named telegraphed to
the conductor of the freight train
which left this city that morning, and he
received the message at Upton. He found
the fugitives in a box car, and, securely
fastening the car, went on to Chamois, the
end of his division. Trainmaster Dilnmick
was notified, and he at once advised Chief
Detective FurlOng, who happened
to be coming vest and who
took charge of the prisoners,
bringing them as far as Jefferson City,
where he was met by the detective above
referred to, to whom the prisoners were
transferred, and who brought them to Sc
dalia. All of the credit of the srrest BE-
longs to Officers Barnett. McGee and Went
zslman, and had it not been for their vigil
lance, the railroad officials would have
never learned who burglarized their car.
