The Sedalia weekly bazoo. [volume] (Sedalia, Mo.) 187?-1904, 1884-09-16

Any defense of the man Burkhart
who wrecked the life of Willie Robin
son, is a defense of the most damnable
crime man can perpetrate. He who
Stays the body is murderer, but he
who destroys both body and soul is a
fend, who is unfit to mingle with the
imps of hell and TO whom satan
would surrender his throne. No, nc,
as you value manhood, honor, virtue,
the sacredness of the marriage vow.
As you believe in the trust of woman,
her purity, devotion, innocence and
love, do not offer excuse or pallia-
ton for such q devil as this man
Burkhart. Such as he are beyond
the touch and protection of the mantle
of charity. Such as he deserve tie
unrelenting condemnation, scourge
and contempt of every man who lifts
his hat to woman, and any attempt
to lessen this public execration, is
but an attempt to eOndone
a crime too hideOus to even
contemplate. For such a hellish
devil, there ought to be swift and
speedy punishment. For his victim,
let gentle charity take her by the
hand and lead her once more into
paths of virtue, peace and security.
Let every citizen attend the council
meeting tomorrow night.
Two negro men insulted a white
girl in Sedalia last week. One of
them was arrested and released on a
s25 bond. 1t would seem that such
comes cheap over in our
sister city,-Saline County Demo-
crat.
sit would seem" that the fool kill
sr hasn't visited Marshall recently,
or if he had that paragraph would
never have been written. The fact
n the case referred to is that no
White girl was insulted, as was fully |
proven when the case came to trial,
md the bond was taken at the amount |
tated, because the officers were salts
led that no such charge could be
made to stick, and that a simple
tapping of a vulgar mouthed boy
Eas all that could be brought against
he negro. 1t is not necessary for
editors to assist in SANDER
ng any section of the state. Let
very citizen attend the council meet
1g tomorrow night.

member of Calvary Reformed Church, and
was highly respected by her friends and
neighbors. Whenever her seat in the
church was vacant, it could be taken for
granted that she was proyidentially pre-

house of the Lord with Gods people, and
during her illness she was pleased TO con-
verse of those things that pertained 10 her
salvation, and to the glory of the Lord.
Her sutferings. which lasted for about three
months, were intense at times, but she
bore them in faith and humility, knowing
that the Lord would sooner or later deliver
her out of them all, and toward the last she
expressed herself anxio1s to depart and be

band. three sons and one daughter to mourn
their loss, which was her eternal gain

| EDIToR HERALD-Sr: The August num-
Der of the Somerset County Sentinsiis before
me, and by your permission will endeavor
to correct falsehood published in connec-
| ton with the names of some of the citizens
of this place.
At the May term of Court three petitions
for license were sent in from this place, and
remonstrance containing twenty four
names, some of which were afterwards
stricken off because of having been placed
there without the knowledge of the petition
ers against the granting of license to any
applicant from this borough but this re-
monstrance was overruled by the Court, be-
cause the demonstrators were not willing. or
at least did not see fit to certify, under oath,
to the truth of the statement made in the
remonstrance, and perhaps for the further
reason that the demonstrators represented
only about one-eighth of the wealth and
business of the place, and agreed to grant
two licenses for Confluence Borough, issuing
the one at once to John R. Moon, and hold
ing the other over until the next term of
Court, doubtless for the wise purpose of as
certairing the preference of the citizens of
the place, or in other words, giving them
an opportunity to manifest their preference
The license having been granted, the citi-
zens of the place thought it wise and pru-
dent TO signify to the Court their personal
preference as between the two men, namely
FraZee and Schrock which they according
ly did, and nothing more. Wnen the mat
ter came up for final action the Court con-
cluded to grant license to both Frazee and
Scbrock, thus giving three. instead of two
licenses, and under the circumstances the
action of the Court met with the approval
of the people. These are the facts in brief.
and why Rev. A. s Baumgardner has seen
fit to publish the names of those who mani
Tested their preference by apetition to Court
as between Frazee and Schrock after the IL
censes were granted, as petitioners on re-
application for license is not apparent, since
he processes TO have taken the statement
from the records. There was no re-applica-
ton for license on either the part OF Frazee
or Schrock, and consequently no such
petition.
An explanation on the part of Mr..
Baumgardner is now in order, and earnest
ly demanded.
Yours, &C..
Il. A. FIcHTSER.

Old John Robinsons great moral aggre-
CATION 40 SHOWS in one) proved great at
traction ito our country friends on Thurs
day last. The first light of morning saw
swarms OF them on their way 10 town, and
by ten O'Clock our streets were literally
jammed with people. anxiously awaiting
the street pageant, which started on its round
at II a. M, and proved to be the Longest,
and decidedly the best circus parade seen
in Somerset for years. The crowd at the
show in the afternoon was immense, the
hundreds Of seats being taxed TO their ut
most capacity. and many being compelled
to stand throughout the entire performance.
II is estimated that from four TO five thou
sand people were in attendance. The show,
all in all, was much better than the average
circus
