MARY'S MISTAKE.
What q Fair Massachusetts, Girl
Missed by Not Coming
to Sedalia.

Some little time ago the school board OF this
city received an application for a school
from Miss Mary NJ. Eaton, Of Woburn,
Massachusetts,, and with the application
was the photograph of the applicant, a
very pretty and intelligent faced young
lady.
The school board is composed OF grave
and renowned seignoirs," but as that piece
of pasteboard was passed from hand TO
hand thew felt their bald heads glow with
emotion and they resolved to a man thai
the "way down east" original should be
informed that her applicatiOn-and her
photograph-had been received, and should
her credentials prove ga Ia up to the
NOTCH or words to that effect. then Miss
Mary should be rendered position in Sc
dalia, where she might teach the youthful
kid all she knew, or more, if she felt in
clined 1t was all owing to that picture,
of course. but alas, ere the
answer reached the fair applicant,
she had secured another position
and the school board, with disappointment
clothing them ike Mother Hubbard, was
compelled TO abide by the inevitable.
When the truth comes home to our peo-
pie how much Miss Mary loses by not com.
ing to us it seems almost beyond the power OF
pencil to convey. Think OF the long rides
with gallant c. E. Messerly, the glorious
dances with Fred. Guenther, the long walks
| with the glib-tongued Will Steel, the dishes
of oysters with Frank Hardcas,le, the
truthful narratives Of Frank b. Meyer, the
profound talks of Homer Boutwell,, the sly
| tIirtations with Frank Richardson, the
"open air concerts" with John Jaynes: the
"footlight flashes" OF Charley Parker, the
story OF John Siden's many mashes, the
near view of Ed. Houx's blonde mus
tache, and the uselessness of Trusket's dog.
Surely could some fairy have told her Of
DIR. Abells "dear little pills." or whispered
| In her ear tn at the Third Street Methodist,
the First Baptist and the Broadway Pres
byterian churches all have pastors who are
bachelors, or that there were more wild
overs to the square inch than any other
city in the state, nothing could have pre-
! vented her coming. But, alas! The
church social will continue TO charge
fifty cents for ten cents worth OF oysters,
the lovely scenic effects OF Dan Clark's adj
yeriisements will still dazzle the eyes OF
visitors. ROY Shumway, Homer Byler and
George Galbresth will sell shoes to their
lady customers at "half price," the menu
bers OF the council will wrangle about as
usual, the Congregational church bell toll
1855 times at every service, Rev. Van Wag.
ner will stir up the young men, busiles will
grow steadily larger, Joe Peltier will mar
~ and the Sunday morning BAzoo will be
published for the people now on earth,
but she will not be present. Poor, poor Miss
Mary.

Further Particulars of the Death
of @. G. Fletcher Fri
day Afternoon.

Brief mention was made i'm the BAZoo
of yesterday of the death at Marshall, FRI
day afternoon, of Mr.. q. &. Fletcher, father
OF DIR. I. j. Fletcher, Of this city. AT that
time none Of the particulars were known,
but the following dispatch to yesterday s
Kansas City Times. bearing Marshall
date, tells the sad story:
This morning as usual Mr. T. c. Fletcher,
wealthy and highly respected merchant
of this city, was to be found at his Office,
where he remained till about IL o'clock,
when he complained to his son, Mr.. w. III.
Fletcher, with whom he was associated in
business, that he was feeling bad and would
left the store Immediately in a carriage for
home, which Is about half a mile distant.
Shortly after returning home he retired,
thinking he would feel better in bed than
sitting up. He had been i'm bad only a few
moments when he suddenly expired. Heart
disease i, supposed to have been the cause
OF his death. Mr.. Fletcher was norn in
Mason county, Ky, November 90. 1910. In
1880 he came to Pike county, Mo. In 1888
he moved To Lafayette county and engaged
in manufacturing rope. bagging, etc. He
was the first man TO start power loom in
the state of Missouri, and in 1915 his bag
ging establishment was burned. He then
went To farming, which he continued till
1870. when he engaged in the banking bus
iDe,s at Waverly, Mo. In 1879 the Farmers
Savings bank, of which he was then and mp
I, the time OF his death, president ard one
Of the largest stockholders, moved to this
city, when Mr.. Fletcher also moved here
irom Waverly.

Jonnson's Justification.

The BAzoo of yesterday contained full
account of the arrest OF one johnson,
a colored man suspected OF steal
ing a watch from some unknown party at
the fair at Moberly.
1t will be remembered that johnson
claimed that he won the watch
at the Moberly fair while bucking
against wheel of fortune.
The ticker has been turned over to Marshal
Shy, who has written to the marshal OF
Moberly for statement of the facts in the
case, or any information that official may
have in his possession. In the meantime
the suspected coon, against whom 20 in
formation has as yet been fled, has been
released, and money sufficient furnished
him to pay his board until such time as a
reply can be received from the Moberly Of
fcials.
johnson claims that he is a laboriDg
man and the appearance of his hands bear
cut his assertion. He will seek work in
this city, which he will doubtless, if he is
sincere in his assertion, have little trouble
in finding.

Bumped Their Noses.

Alfred Dickman and Tommie Sturgis
bows Is or IA years of age. met with quite
a painful accident while playing bali in
West Sedalia yesterday forenoon: Both
lads, it seems, ran after the ball, which had
been knocked skyward, and so interested
were they in their play that they paid nc
attention to each other, consequently rar
together with great force. Sturgis va:
thrown to the ground in an unconscious
condition, and had to be carried home
while young Dickman had his nose spread
all over his face and looked like he had
been kicked by mule. Twas q severe jot
for both of the boys, and they will probably
be more careful In the future.

THE FREE DELIVERY.
A Letter FL ON the First Assistant
Postmaster General on
the Subject.

As is we'll we'll known to most OF our
citizens. Postmaster Blair has labored lnde-
fatigabiy to secure for Sedalia the advan-
tapes of the free postal delivery. From the
following letter from First Assistant Post
master General II atten to Hon. I. NJ. Rice,
present congressman from this district, it
will be observed, however, that owing to an
iusufficiency in the appropriation for the
postaI service that Sedalia will have to
apossess her soul in patience" so far rs the
free delivery is concerned, for the present.
In the meantime our efficient postmaster
will continue to press the claims of orr
city in this direction. The letter referred
to, which is self-explanatory, is as follows t:
WASHINGTON, ID. C., Sept. Is.
SIR:-I have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of your letter for the free deliv-
ery system at Sedalia, Mo-, and to state IN re-
DIV that as at present advised by the auditor
for this department the appropriation will
not warrant the further extension of this
branch of service, congress having apprO-
pristed 100000 less than the estimate sub
mitted to them. Should the auditor for
this department report, later in the year, a
larger unexpended balance than now seems
probable, or should congress make, at its
next session, supplemental appropriation
for this service, the question Of extending
| il to additional cities will be again cOnsid
cred. In either event the claims OF Sedalia
will not be overlooked.
Very respectfully,
FRANK HATrEN,
Firs, Assistant Postmaster General
On the back of Mr.. Hatten's letter Mr.
Rice makes the following note:

Another case of domestic infelicity was
reported to the BAzoo yesterday, but as
these family fare-ups are of such frequent

with brief notice.
Mrs. james Powell, wife of stonema.

and left home, going to the residence of 9

is no longer bearable, and she was forced

AS is generally the case, whisky is at the
bottom of their trouble. The couple have
two children, and Mrs. Powell will endeav'
