A TRUANT WIFE.
Mrs. Sarah Lyons, Alias Sarah
Starks Said to be in
Sedalia.

The oft repeated story Of woman's IN.
falthiulness, is once more to be recorded
and the foul work of man set forth to the
world.
Mr.. Lyons, of Olathe, NO., arrived in
the city Monday. looking for a truant wife
who had left his bed and board and gone
OH with man named Frank Starks.
Following is the description of the wo
man: Five feet, four inches high, red hair
blue eyes and freckled face. '
She goes by the name OF Sarah LYONS
alias Sarah S,arks. Mr.. Lyons says he has
reason TO believe that the couple are now
some place in Sedalia living as man and
wife.
1t is not the woman Mr.. Lyons is after,
he says he will have nothing more to do
with her, but she took with her two chill
dren, the fruit of her marriage with Lyon,
and he wishes to obtain possession of them.
If found they should certainly be given to
him, for woman who would do as Mrs.
Lyon has done, has no business with them.
She 10 not competent to bring them up in
the way that is good and pure, and at best,
their lives could be but ones of urmitigated
disgrace.
If, as Mr.. Lyons says, the guilty pair are
In Sedalia, they should be arrested a
punished to the full extent of the law.

IN FLAMES.
A Broom Factory and a Residence
Burned Down Last
Night.

An alarm of fire was sounded last night
at Is minutes to II o'clock, which
proved to be the Queen City Broom factory
on Main street between Lamine and Mas.
sschusetts streets, owned by c. B. Stewart
The fire department turned out with Its
usual promptuess, but as the FIRE had
gained grest Roadway before being discov.
cred, it was thought it would be impossible
to save even the building, which was full
of brooms and broom straw. The bows
were not long in extinguisbing the fire
with only a slight damage to the building,
although the contents were entirely de-
stroyed.
A lady vino resides in house near by
was the first TO discover the fire, but she was
too badly scared 10 even give an alarm.
The furniture was removed from all the
buildings in that vicinity, as il was thought
the whole block must 60. Here is where
the new engine got In her work. The near
est fire plug was in front of the Golden
Eagle store on Ohio street, and she conse-
quently had to force the water two blocks,
which il did in splendid manner, throwing
a stream with such force as to necessitate
the shutting of of part of the force power.
The building was the property of Curd
Petty, but the loss and insurance on either
il or the contents could not be ascertained
While the men were yet at work on this
fire second alarm was sounded from the
engine house, calling the iremen to Lin.
colnville, where a small frame house be-
longing to VIM. Tut, colored, was in
flames. The boys took the hose carriage
and repaired thither, but as the building
was small and dry il was entirely consumed
before they arrived. The house was q new
one, just being completed, and the fact that
no one had yet occupied il, gives rise to the
opinion that il was the work of incendiaries.
There was no insurance on the building,
and the loss is estimated at $500.

Boats, Bycicles and Hay Fever

Nature has resolved that all the people

the opening of the season of outdoor sports
comes the time OF trouble for the poor vic

THE GROWING CROPS.

Rye will prove an average crop and nj
more.
1T is expected that harvesting will be.
gin about Friday at Lamonte.
Broom corn and sugar cane promise
badly just now, but hopes for fair yield
are improving.
The potato crop will be much larger
than al irst anticipated, while the prospect
for large yield of cabbage is not aatter-
ing.
The heavy wind and rains of Thursday
and Friday blew down and badly tangled a
number OF large fields of wheat near Knob
noster.
Oats in the southern part of johnson
county may not be depended on, owing TO
the lateness Of sowing and unfavorable
weather.
George Souther, living about FIVE
miles northwest of Lamonte, has los acres
OF wheat almost ready for the reaper. It is
free from cheat, but some rye is mixed with
il.
Very little wheat was sown in the
Green Ridge neighborhood. By agreement
among the farmers, who thought thus to get
rid OF the chintz bug, the land was seeded
to corn.
1t is estimated by extensive producers
That the average yield of wheat in the
western halt of Pettis, and the eastern half
OF johnson county will be sixteen bushels
to the acre.
One field of wheat near Knobnoster is
so taken by chest as to be totally unfit for
the reaper or thresher. There are about
eighty acres in which the cheat is about
seven-eights of the crop.
Some fax will be harvested near La.
monte, while the hay crop in the southern
part of the county will be equal to the
demand. Timothy and clover will produce
better than an average yield.
Corn, during the last few days, gives
promise OF a much larger yield than was
supposed possible month ago. Luckily
for those who cultivate this cereal. the
weeds grow no faster than the corn.

Coroner's Inquest.

At the coroner's inquest held in In de-
pendence at the time of James Scally's
death the following was the testimony
given by Engineer Willhite and the YER
dict of the jury:
ENGINEER wILLHITEs TESTIMONY.
My name is Willhite. Am employed
as engineer on the Missouri Pacific rail-
road. The name of the man whose BODY
now lies here is j. Scally. He was killed
by the railroad. The engine and tender
pulled apart and the tender ran over him.
The pin must have broken and let them
pull apart. The train was moving slow.
The engine was working hard and going
gradually. He was putting in coal at The
time. OF the accident. An accident of this
kind is very, uncommon. have never be-
fore had an accident of this kind. Do not
know whether there were any stay chaias
on the engine at the time or not. The
train was going up grade. The engine was
working gradually, just as an engine would
pulling up grade. He was sober.
The jury returned a rdict in the case.
as follows:
We the jury, find from the evidence that
James Scally came to his death from the
breaking OF coupling pin and the pulling
apart of the engine No. 295 and tender on
the Missouri Pacific railroad, and on ac-
count of the said breaking he fell between,
and the wheels and the tender passed over
him. If the engine had been properly
guarded with stay chains the accident
would not have happened.

A Sad Case,

Probably the saddest case il is ever tn,
newspaper mans duty to chronicle, is wher
an old father or mother is deserted by theil
children for whom they cared when they
were too young TO care for themselves.
The reporters attention was called TO
case of this kind yesterday, where father
/ old, and afflicted with dropsy and rheuma-
tism So he scarcely could move, had been
thrown upon the charity of a cold world
with no place, you might say, 10 lay hi:
weary head TO rest.
Daniel Palmer was this gen.
tleman. and the reporter found him
seated on dry goods 0ox on Ohio street
His story is, indeed, a sad one.
He said he had lived for time with one
OF his SONS, but his wife took advantage of
every chance to make life itself burden
TO hun, and al last he left there and came
TO this city. Here he took up his abode
with his daughter. Mrs. J. d. Hill, but
yesterday Mr.. Hill sold the hotel which he
was running and gave possession thereof
yesterday noon, he intending to leave the
city. This leaves Mr.. Palmer without
any home at all as they do not intend 10
take him with them. He had frequently
helped Hill when he was in
Out udu newer 50 uuCn DIS
thanked the old gentleman, and since his
money is all gone he is turned out Of doors
This is an oft repeated story, however.
When parent becomes aged and has no
money the child cares no more for them
than if they were a dog, instead of the low
ing parent who first gave them life, and af-
terward watched over them with that sffec-
ton and kindness which only a parent is
capable OF bestowing upon child, and they
are told to go. And how often
is it that some kind-hearted
Christian gives them shelter and food, 10
keep the tottering form from filling by the
roadside. The fact should cause a blush
to mantle the face of that heariless SON or
daughter, but no; they turn q deaf ear to
the pleadings OF their father, nor do they
seem to care whether he lives or dies.
When child deserts its helpless parent
who then is that one, who should be near
and dear, to look to for sustenance?
Mr.. Palmer says that he has nephew
in southwestern Kansas who would give
him home if he conld get to him, but he
has not money enough to pay his way
there.
The mayor, yesterday, gave him some
money and a letter to some of the business
men, who should respond literally, for if
here ever was deserving case this is one.

A TRAMP HERO.
When Lake Shore conductor finds |
tramp stealing a ride on his train he kicks |
the turnpike treader gently and with con-
for a recent incident that hap
pened to train 5, west bound, near Delta, a |
few nights ago, has taught him that |
tramp may be a hero in disguise. The
team of a drunken farmer had attempted
to walk home on the railroad track, and |
one horse had fallen through a bridge near
Delta and was stalled there with a broken
leg. No 5, heavily loaded with passengers,
was almost due. The tramp ran with a
speed born of many watchdog chases, told
he station agent, secured red light, hur-
RED down the track and stopped the train
ust in time to prevent an accident. That
ramp not only got free ride that night,
but was offered permanent position on
he road. Now the road is lined with
ramps on the lookout for broken-legged
lorses fast in bridges.-Cleveland Herald.
