Judge Jno. E. Ryland concluded the recent
term of the criminal court at Sedalia last Fri
day. No capital cases were tried. Five men
were sent to the penitentisry, the usual pre-
ponderance of color being reversed /,
four of them being white and only
one colored. As this is more in
conformity to the proportional numbers of
the race than the usual results of criminal
courts, it presents itself as one of the means
Of elevating it that its preachers and teachers
endeavor to keep down its undue representa-
ton in the penitentiary. Judge Ryland speaks
quite feelingly Of two f~ine-looking young men
that were convicted, both Of whom attribute
ed their downfall to whisky.

not seem to understand the law re-
quiring the registration of births and
deaths adopted by the last legislature we print
it ~here:-"Sec. s. 1t shall be the duty of all

wherein they reside, and said physicians, sur

certificate of the cause of death and such cor
relative facts as the state board of health may
require, in blank form as hereinafter provid-
ed. Sec. 8. Where any birth or death shall
take place, no physician, surgeon or accouch-

In order to make connections going either
east or west, in the evening, the Wabash
road has at last put on a train the omnibus
for which leaves here at $50 p. m. This en-
ables people to get away at night over that

coming this way. 1t is q shame and an out
rage upon the travelling public that no better
arrangements are made by the Wabash to
come to and leave this place. Because the
roads On both sides of the river are under
n management is no reason why people
should be compelled to travel over the Mis-
souri, Pacific if they do not desire to do so.
Indeed much of the travel is local and not
through travel. 1t must 60 by the Wabash.

road-bed to the Junction is almost gone;
the iron is utterly worn out; the track rough
and unsafe. No effort seems to be made TO
remedy this. Whereas connections should
be afforded to and from every passenger train
over the main line, they have for a long time
only been provided for in the morning. In
the evening passengers must remain at the
Junction in sight Of Lexington, or being here
must wait until morning, unless those who
are here and wish to leave are willing to ride
four miles through a Ray county bottom road
in an omnibus or carriage The depot at North
Lexington, too, is q disgrace to the company.
1t is filthy beyond description in these col
umns, and no fire is provided. The telephone
line to the Junction, which could be repaired
for a few dollars, has been permitted to fall
into disuse. If kept in order it would be of
great value to passengers at North Lexing-
ton, often saving them time and expense in
vainly attempting to make connections on the
main line. The company ought to by all
