The Lime-Kiln Club.

1t is seldom that such old bald heads
as Judge Cadaver and Nelson Slabs
forget their age and dignity and be-
come boys for the moment. Such an
event occurred, however, just previous
to the opening Of the meeting. There
was little boxing and friendly scuf
file, and both fell against the stove and
upset it. Every one of the 6S joints
Iof stove-pipe came crashing down,
|some one on the street turned in an
alarm of fire, and 40 minutes after the
usual hour Of opening the meeting the
smoke was so thick in the hall that
members could hardly see each other
two feet away.
Brother Gardner announced that
Jud &c Cadaver would be fined 1920
and Nelson Slabs would have to whack
up $4,000. The money when paid
would be used to erect a colored Or
phan asylum.

In the Justices Courts.

Nick Burmaster swore out a warrant
against his brother-in-lsw. Henry Behrens
The complaint was that Burmasier was .
saulted in his own house on Wednesday
last by Behrens, and was struck severely.
The case was tried yesterday before Judge
Halstead, and il was proved that Behrens
simply pushed the complainant one side.
The defendant was therefore released, and
the costs of the suit taxed 10 Burmaster.

smiles. The man who does that of which
we do not approve is either a fool or a
knave, but the reason we did the same
thing short time ago was that We were
mistaken. When our neighbor commits
an indiscretion we take the editor TO one
side and tell him il is his duty as a guard

BUILDING BOOM.
A Number of rine New Buildings
Of Handsome Design to be
Speedily Erected.

A BAZOO reporter in his rounds through
the city hears good news of Sedalia's future
greatness. The coming season bids fair TO
outrival any previous one in the number,
cost and quality, as we'll as beauty of the
city's new buildings.
The new )urt house seems to have put
more life anu enterprise into the citizens
than usual, especially into those who own
property on and near the court house
square. There is something else than talk
about buildings. The resident architects
ale busy at work on plans and sketches for
a number of fine business blocks and
houses, which show much beauty and
originality of design. This will insure
buildings less unsightly than some of those
built from nothing, as il were
Sketches have b-en made for new block
for Mr.. Hills, to be located on Fifth street,
which is to be 46} feet front by

ExHUMiMG THE REMAINS
From ono OF the Oldest Burial Placr
In che District.


Thirty workmen are engaged in excavat-
ing the Holmead square, at Nineteenth and
boundary streets, to remove any bodies
that may still remain in tho old cemetery
and to put IL into condition TO be offered for
sale for building purposes, the proceeds to
BIO devoted to the purchase Of sites and
erection Of school buildings.
The residents of the vicinity are very
much interested and excited over the oper-
atoms, and innumerable mysteries tradi-
tions and strange stories add to the morbid
attraction that naturally attaches to the OK
cavation Of an old burying-ground, the in
terments in which date back century and
include number Of soldiers buried during
the war Of 1912.
For several years the disinterments have
been In progress under contract In O de-
sultory manner, payment being made at a
stipulated price for eac. body removed,
and tho work only being carried ON where
the bodies were supposed to DO numerous
and near the surface.
The disinterments thus far made, how
ever, have served to awaken curiosity.
Three of them were in a wonderful state Of
preservation. One white and one colored
woman were disinterred in a perfectly pot
riied condition, while bodies directly
alongside had crumbled TO ashes. From
two Of the crumbled collins old coins, cop
per cents Of 1870 and buttons from tho
uniform Of soldier of the Continental
army are reported to have been taken.
There are many othor singular instances
recounted besides the startling snake
stories. Snakes of wonderful sizo and un-
known varieties have been reported to have
been found among the old vaults.
The workmen who began operations yes
terday have already unearthed few bones
and some coffin lids and are convinced that
the remains Of many bodies will DO found.
