"Why Not Sedalia ?"

The Globe Democrat speaking of the an
nual sta'e militia encampment which &C.
ours next Angus, says:
A"The place where the encampment is to be
held in August has not been decided on as
yet. Captain Batdorf says the officers want
to find place having fair ground large
enough for camping aud skirmish drill,
near a town it will pay to 60 to. Exhi-
BIZ; ion drills will be given and an ad.
mission charged to defray the camping ex-
penses."
Sedalia not only has such a ground, but
has adjpining them a tract of land for the
most extenden military practice possible.
Besides the grounds, buildings, abundance
OF water and every necessity and convent
ence possible, it has a town "it will pay to
go TO-" 1t is in the center of the state,
easily reached from every point of the
compass by raiIro d and is one of the
f-e>hest, arrest and healthy locations in
h safe dali Is fair association, Mr.
Sicher and the board Of trade should put

CAUGHT.
Four Men Now in Limbo at Fort
Scott.

Mention was made in Thursdays BAzoo
Of the abrupt departure Of four farmers
with teams on which Mr.. 8. w. Castle held
a mortgage, and of the fruitless efforts of
Deputy sheriff Romans to overhaul them.
Yesterday Marshal Barnett received letter
from Marshal J. B Dickerson, of Butler,
Mo-, stating that previous to the reception
of sny notice that the parties were wanted
they had passed through that place, going
in the direction of Fl. Scott. Shortly after
receiving this information telegram came
to him from Fort Scott saying the parties
had been captured at that place and were
being held to await instructions. Marshal
Barnett replied to hold them until an Of
6cer arrived, and last evening Deputy
Sheriff Homans left for that point. He
sta,ed that he would bring back the teams
with him, but il the men did not seem dis
posed to act ugly about the mater he
would let them go, but il they were con-
trary in making amends he would bring
them also
