The Late George d. Blair.

The funeral of this most estimable young
man yesterday afternoon frcm the Copgre.
Hational church, on Ohio street, was large
~ attended. On the arrival of the BODY
At the Ichurch, the pall-bearers, Messrs.
Geo. Menifee, VIM. Ramsey. Geo. Miller.
Ben. Goodwin. Frank Hughes and John
Wright, placed the coffin in front of tn.
altar, whenthe Rev. Allen j. Van W.g
ner, preached an appropriate and effective
sermon, descaDting at length upon the
many sterling qualities of the deceased;
dwelling upon his home life where he was
the idol of his parents and bright ex-
ample to his brothers and sisters. George
had, by his many traits of manly charac
ter, endeared himself to all with whom he
met both in his social and business re-
lations. Although little more than sew
enteen years old. he had been actively en-
gagged for n ore than a year in the large
clothing establishment of his Uncle's, the
Blair Bros where he was deservedly pop
ular with their customers, and enjoyed
their entire confidence.
After the services at the church. the
large funeral cortege proceeded to the
cemetery where the remains were depos-
tied.
The BAzoo may be pardoned for saying
that few young men of George Rlair's age
who have died in this city, have been more
generally lamented. He had many manly
and noble traits of character he was
honest, gentle and firm, and had he lived
to full manhood, would have been an Or
nament to society, and most useful busi-
ness man.
May his bereaved family bear with for
titude their great loss, for George 10 at rest
with his Maker.

Pacific shops. The building and nearly
all its contents was consumed before the

$500. the buildipg btirg worth about $50
and Mr.. Shea's furniture similar amount.

may be reckoned among the most costly
usual in Sedalia. Here, again, the large
cities, as stated before, outstrip Sedalia
in charges, carriage hire, floral decora-
tions and other appurtenances being much
more costly.
Reporter-What is the gcneral tendency
in Sedalia? Towards a higher or lower
cost?
Undertaker-The tendency is decidedly
towards an increase in expenditures in
this direction.
Thanking the gentleman for the infor-
nation furnished, the reporter took his

not one whit behind her sister cities
in lavishing kindness and expense on her
dead.

UNION LEAGUE And Grand ARnK.

DENYING TIE CHARGE THAT THE EN-sOLDIERs
WERE BADLY TREATED.
The Brooklyn members of the Grand Army of
the Republic are in state OF subdued indignation over
several incidents which occurred during their visit to this
city on Monday participate in the parade They ap
near TO be chiefly aeyed at what they claim TO be the
discmrtesy shown to them by the Union League Club
While waiting for their orders to fall into
the procession the Brooklyn Division was
stationed Thirty -ninth-st just opposite the
Union League Club House. The storm was partieu-
larry severe at that tne and according to their
story the Grand Army men thought themselves justified
in using the vestibule of the clubhouse for refuge.
They accordingly crowded in, aud were highly ncensed
when one Of the club servants brought them message
from one Of the members requesting them TO vacate the
premises Oratorcal and satcal references were made
by the veterans the changes produced by the lapse OF
twenty wears and they after received their orders TO
fan in as part OF the procession.
The members OF the Union League Club have
a different story to tell, as according to one
account the dripping veterans apparently
looked on the club sort OF Liberty Hall and wanted TO
install themselves In its gorgeous rooms. H. c. Ward
member OF the House Comptee said Tuesday night TO
