THAT ENCAMPMENT.
What Will Sedalians Do About
1t?

1t seems, from latest reports, that Seda-
liza is not to have a walk over In the mat
ter of securing the encampment OF the
First regiment, Kansas City, st. Joseph,
Hsnnibal and Springfield, al having put
In ID, with Hannibal In the lead, with
an offer Of everything free and II 800 in
cash.
The regiment admit the great adj
vantages of the grounds at Sedalis, but say
that tue state has failed to make any
arrangements for its militia, that they
therefore have to pay all their own ex
penses, and the great disideraium with
them therefore, is how to raise the means
for that purpose, hence they are Obliged to
go To the point Offering the best cash in
ducemebts. Mr.. Sicher has assured them
he will do all in his power for them, giving
them the grounds tree and all they can
make, and that he will also give them
grand military dress ball, but as far cash
donations, il will have 10 be given by
others, IS he is not able to add tEat. It does
lock, however, as If a weeks en-
campment of SO noted regiment
as the First Missouri, wouli
be sufficient inducement to draw
visitors 70 the city TO enable Sedalia's mer-
chants and business men to afford TO give
something toward bringing it here. Ger
tainly the matter ought to be considered by
the board OF trade or a citizens meeting
some time this week in order to see what
can be done as Sedalia has heretofore had
the reputation OF coming to the frcnt on
all such occasions. The final decision as to
the location OF the encsmpnenI will be
made at meeting TO be held in ST. Louis
next Saturday ard it will therefore, be
necessary for our citizens to act promptly
if they have any desire to secure lis loca-
ton in Sedalia. And it certainly ought
not to be said that the managers of the fair
grounds are the only liberal minded, pro-
gressive citizens left in Sedalia.

A Plain Statement.

On July third r. E. King, book-keeper
in the Sedalia Savings bank, took a leave
of absence for a few days TO visit friends in
an interior town 10 Illinois He continued
his trip TO Chicago and thence to New
York, remaining away much longer than
WIS originally anticipated, either by the
bank officials or himself His continued
absence caused various rumors TO be put
afost, both regarding the honesty of young
King and losses OF the bark, ali OF which
are without foundation in fact.
When the air was blue with rumors, the
bank officers in connection with some of
the larger stockholders, gave matters a
thorough overhauiing. They found some
Inaccuracies and entries on the books, which
although of no great mons Mt, could not be
readily understood, hence the ureasiness of
friends.
Young King returned to the city yest7r-
day, was at the bank and explained all the
omissions or entries that did not appear
clear TO those In charge.
This is the whole matter in a nu! she'll.
The bank has not lost dollar, and young
King is not defaulter.
Now, one word to the public: The
a ton of the BAzoo has been severely cri-
ticised on the streets owing to its +, ticence
on the subject of the banks troubles. This
criticism, as far as this paper is concerned,
is unjus: and unfair. The manager of this
paper did not care to rush into print on a
mere rumor. affecting The creditability of
bank whose reputation is unquesiioned,
and rejecting upon the character of a
young man who had for long years been
trusted clerk. If the BAZoo is to be criti-
cissd for such an act of caution make the
most of it. AS long as the present man.
agement is at its head, We shall protect
Sedalia's public institutions just as long as
it can do so truIhfully, and not 10 the detri-
ment of the business interests Of the COM
munity.

SEDALIA SHADES,
A Great Evil Which Needs a
Speedy Remedy.

Volumes have been written of the evils
OF strong drink, and not 4 day pass $ but
there are those In Sedslia who loudly pro
clsim their anathemas against the saloon
business.
Thst there is much grounds for ii few
will deny, bat that there are other evils
which as loudly demand removal is equal
ly patent and fully demonstrated by the
accounts of sin and shame amid the brCthels
and other dens of vice which are daily re-
corded. But Of all these evils doubtless
the gambling hells are, If not the worst,
fully as bad as the worst. A few months
ago the officials and ministry spsnt their
efforts TO close these nsilutions and In a
large measure succeeded. But faiigued by
success the have since slept, but the gam
