That's a commone xpres-
sion and has a world of
meaning. How much suf-
fering is summed up in it.
The singular thing about
it is, that pain in the back
is occasioned by so many
things. May be caused by
kidney disease, liver COM
plant, consumption, cold,
rheumatism, dyspepsia, over
work, nervous debility, &c.
Whatever the cause, don's
neglect it. Something is
wrong and needs prompt
attention. No medicine has
yet been discovered that
will so quickly and surely
cure such diseases as
Browns IRON BITTERs, and
it does this by commencing
at the foundation, and max
ing the blood pure and sieh.
VIM. P. Marshall, of LaeaAs-
port, Indiana, writes: d" Ny wife
has for many years been tsou-
bled from pain in her back
and general debility incident

Resulting From a Personal" Pub.
lished in the Kansas City

The denoument of one of the most sensa.
tionsl cases which has ever occurred in
Jackson county, was reached at Independ-
ence "Wednesday evening, in the marriage of
Mr. Greene III. Bradin OF that place, to
Mrs. Suda A. Watson, sged about % years,

Together they lived at Independence until

her former husband. No formal papers
were drawn mp, however, until the 1lth day
of last February, a short time previous To
which personal had appeared in the
Kansas City papers which caught the eye
of Bradin and irfaned him. He answered
il, aud after short correspondence between
the parties the divorce suit was filed by
Bradin, abandonment being the grounds

Last Saturday i'm Judge Blacks court at
Independence, the divorce was granted by
default, the defeUdent not entering an APP
pearance or attempting any defense As

cordiance with these arrangements she re-
turned to Kansas City IN The afternoon,

A FEW FACTS,
Learned in an Interview with Mr..
James w. Hall, Just from
South America.

Mr.. James w. Hall who has just re-
turned from South America, where he has
been for the past few weeks in the interest
OF the Wood binders and reapers, In cas-
ual conversation with a BAZOo reporter
yesterday, gave some information concern
ing that country, which will doubtless
prove of general interest.
Mr.. Woods headquarters has been in
the Argentine Republic, at Buenos Ayres.
the capital of that government, a large
and hourishing city. with a population
numbering between $4,000 aud 100000
souls There is a vast amount of capital
invested in the city, by principally English
merchants. The farmers of the country
are mostly Italians, while the majority of
the natives are engaged in stock raising.
There is at present a large immigration
pouring into the country.
In Buenos Ayers there are six daily pa
pers; two English one French, one Ger
man and two Spanish. There is very little
manufacturing done, the only establish
ments in this line being a few breweries,
distilieries and sugar refneries.
The country is well adapted to agricul-
ture, and the crops are generally excellent,
there scarcely ever being a failure. The
farmers, however, are not industrious, do
ing as little work as possible, and hence
putting in but small crops. The soil is
adapted to any crop that is raised in this
country. Horses are not fed except in the
cities, where they are used for street cars,
carriages, teaming, etc. In ali other parts
OF the republic, horses, mules and cattle are
grazed.
The predominating religion of the coun-
try is the Catholic, although there are
number of Protestant English churches il
Buenos Ayers.
Mr.. Hall is well satisfied with his trip,
which is the second he has made TO that
country, and reports the sale Of large
number of wood machines.

night. 10 the meantime Morrison return
ed to his room and gave Miller 80 bill
which he claimed he had taken from him IN
fun. Then il was that the now thoroughly
sober man realized that he had ben
victim zed by sharper, and he reported
the matter 10 Officer Gossage, who was not
at all surprised to learn of the occurrence.
Together, Miller and the officer started out
about o'clock this morning on a warm
trail for the thief. They first went TO the
restaurant and Morrison noticing their APP
proach, ran up the alley in the rear OF
Thomss & Haden's store, and was seized by
Miller at the corner of Second and Ossge
streets, but the fleeing thief broke away
from his ceptor and ran east on Second
street TO Ohio, thence south 10 MerIz u
Hal Is drug store, closely pursued by Oh
fcer Gossage. At the alley Constable
Carnes, who was standing al the steps
leading to his Office, joined in the pursuit
and Morrison was overhauled near Lyons
stable, and taken to the cooler. Upon the
prisoner being searched eleven dollars in
cash md gold watch and plated chain
were found on his person. He was ar
raigned before Justice Halstead yesterd ~
afternoon and his preliminary examination
set for this morning. In default of bail o
the amount of $3.50 he was sent TO tue coun-
ty Jail.
Morrison has a trunk at Armbruster's
containing lot of clothing.

At Deaths Door.

A rumor was current on the streets last
evening % the effect that Mrs. Lester, wife
of Robert Lester, an engineer on the Mis-
souri, Pacific had dropped dead. A BAzoo
reporter FASTENED TO the residence Of Mr.
Lester, at the corner of Fourth street and
New York avenue, where he learned that
Mrs, Lester had been seized with violent
commissions about Z o'clock yesterday
morning, and that for a time it seemed To
friends and neighbors that she could not
possibly survive the fearfu! attack. Med
ical aid was summoned and vigorous meas
ures adopted for the relief of the unfortu-
nate lady. At a late hour last night she
was resting comfortably, although she is
still in very critical condition.
Mrs. Lester has been feeling unwell for
several days, but her ailnent was not con.
sidered at all serious, and the dreadful
spasms with which she was seized yester-
day, naturally very greatly frightened the
members of the family.

Rock vs.. Coal Chisel.

A lively little tracas occurred at C. +.
Sprays, the East Sedslia grocer's store,
between the proprietor and Cog Watson. Ii
seems that Watson went to Sprays place
of business somewhat under the influence
of liquor, and said that Spray owed him
two dollars on a grocery bill. This Mr..
Spray denied, whereupon Watson began
using some very abusive language. Mr..
Spray ordered him out of the store, but il
was not long before he again entered and
continued his abuse The second time he
started toward Spray, who grabbed a
Ratchet and waited some belligerent moye
On Watson's part. Watson then ran out
into the street and picking up rock weigh
ing about two pounds hurled it with
great force at Spray, who retaliated by
striking him over the eyes with a COAL
chisel, cutting an ugly cash. As soon as
Watson could gather his scattered senses be
retreated from the field. Both men were
arrested by Officer Meyer, but gave bond
for their appearance this morning. From
the amount OF blood on the sidewalk one
would suppose that a small battle had
been fought.

The New Court House.

AS stated 10 the proceedings of the cOuG-
ty court, published elsewhe the greater
part of the time of the county court yester-
day, was consumed In the examination of
the various plans submitted to the court,
and an elaborate explanation of them by
the architects by whom they were execut-
ed A lively interest is of course exhib-
tied in this matter by all of our citizens,
and a number of our most prominent cap
italist aud business men were present dur
ing the day.
All OF the designs presented are hand
some and complete, and a court house
erected upon either one OF the plans exhIb-
tied will be an ornament to the city and a
credit to Pettis county.
Ever since the proposition to issue bonds
for the construction of new court house
carried, plans have been pouring into the
county court Many of the designs are ex-
cellent, but some of them, as Recorder
Conner remarked to a BAZOo reporter are
not fit for a respectable school house, gin
fact" said Mr.. Conner, there are plans
here drawn from the design of the Broad
way school house"
The architects who appeared before the
court yesterday and explained their plans
In a terse, but lucid manner, are all gentle
man who have won envitble regulations
in their profession, and who are abundant
ly able TO furnish the heavy bond required
in an undertaking of this nature. They
are as follows:
Lynch & Masters, of Sedslis Parsons Il
Son, of Columbia, Mo-; Mexican d Cairns,
Of st. Louis; Eckel & Mann, of st. Joe !;
w. r. Mcpherson, of Omaha.
The court listened patiently and very
attentively to all OF these gentlemen,
frequently questioning them about points
in the plans which were not altogether
clear.
All OF the plans were placed in the GUS
tody of the county clerk, and the court
took the matter under advisement until
next Tuesday.

An Unnatural Father.

The BAzoo of yesterday made mention Of
the fsct that Mrs. Mugford. we'll known in
Sedalia, and who has been supported at The
expense of the city for several months
past, is lying sick and destitute at her
room on the corner of Fourth and LamiEe
streets, depending entirely upon charity for
subsistence.
Mrs. Mugford has father residing in the
city who is repUted to be very wealthy,
and although he knows her sad condition,
does not come near her, nor contribute one
cent TO her support. Ii this state of facts
exists, as there is little reason to doubt
that it does, this inhuman father should be
discountenanced by all respectable people
and held up TO the indignant gaze of the
community.

TAKEN IN By A THIEF.
While in a Drunken Condition,
Sam1 @. Milleris Robbed by.
a. Sharper.

About 10 O'Clock Tuesday night, Officer
Gossage noticed slick looking stranger fol-
lowing Sam Miller, n..old man, who is
stone hauler, and who lives on the John
Banks place near this city. Miller, who
rs a hard working man, came 20 the city
with about $50 In his possession, King ac-
companied bv Charles Wilson, who works
for him. Officer Gossage at once OWNED
the fact that the stranger had designs upon
MilleTs pocketbook and consequently
maintained close surveillance of him dur
the night. The officer learned that the
name of the sharper was Joe Morrison :;
that he was timer by trade, and had for
a few Gays past been In the employ Of
Jacobs & Schwartz.
Miller began drinking freely upon bis
arrival in the city, and in saloon CHANGED
TO fall in with Morrison, who staid with
him like a brother, and assisted in
squandering the old mans wealth.
About one o'clock yesterday
morning. Morrison inveigled his
now thoroughly drunken victim
and the unsuspecting young Wilson to his
room a, Armbruster's restaurant on West
Second street. Miller was undressed and
placed in bed, and while Wilson's attention
was taken up in waiting upon the old man
who was very sick from the effects of his
frequent potatiOns, Morrison got in his
work and distracted from the pockets of
the unconscious man S3S So.
Morrison and Wilson then left the room
together, and upon descending to the street
the latter was presented with So 80 by the
thief who stated that he had plenty of money,
and, which he accepted without suspect.

ployer. Officer Gossage, although not
aware of the robbery, still Kept track of the
festive confidence man, followed him to the
lunch stand of the Missouri Pacific Bar and
continued TO shadow him throughout the

GRAVE ROBBERS.
The Body Of the Negro, Matt.
Lewis, Said to Have
Been Disinterred.

The body OF Matt. Lewis, the negro MUIR
derer who was hanged at st. Louis last
Friday, was sent 10 Jefferson City for
burial. liz is now said that the grave has
been robbed OF its CHASTITY contents and the
body sent 10 this city or Kansas City to be
dissected. A BAzoo reporter, learning the
above facts, at once started out to see il
there was any truth in the report, and as
certain, if possible, ii the body was really
here. Up 10 late hour last night he had
found nothing that would in any way
verify the. statement, and, although the
body may have beer stolen ii is not at all
probable that il ever came within the
limits OF Sedalia. The following, from the
Jefferson City Tribune, however, will be
interesting, and is given for what it is
worth
A rumOr re iched the ears of a Tribune
pencil pusher late yesterday evening that
the body OF Matt. Lewis, the negro murder
er, hanged in St. Louis last Friday, ard
whose remains were buried here on Satur-
day, had been surreptious'y exhumed and
shipped to Kansas City or Sedalia, for dis
secting purposes. The rumor was traced by
the reporter, and the fact was developed
that prominent physician of Kansas City
and an obscure country doctor from the
raral district of PettIs county had been
seen in the city several times during the
day, and further inquiry elected the fact
that they had arrived ON the night
train Sunday. Following up this clue
the reporter ascertained the fact that they
had not registered at any OF the hotels, and
had been seen in consultation with several
hard looking characters. Connecting This
with the fact that at very early hour yes
terday morning wagon was heard passing
by people living out towards the cemetery,
it is very evident that the rumor was we'll
founded. The lateness OF the hour and the
difficulty of working up such a case pre-
vented the scribe from following up the
search. The matter will be thoroughly
sifled to-day, and the readers of the Daily
Tribune may look for interesting develop
ments in to morrow's paper.
