DALIA WEEKLY BAZOO. TUESDAY, AUGUST T. 1883
a NEW POST.
Talk of a New Central Military
Depot.
Sedalia May be the Point Sc
lected.
A NEW POST,

In conversation with an eastern gentle
man high up In military lore yesterday, 9
BAZoo scribe got an inkling of a move
which it may be no breach of confidence tC
make known, as it is a matter ought to bs
of general interest.
by the way" said the military man
"you have quite thriving town here
understand. How many inhabitsnts have
your"
about 10000"
odd you know there was some talk OF
making it United States military post ?'
"No, sir how is that?"
well you remember that at the last ses.
sion Of congress there was considerable agi-
tation of The custom of keeping volunteers
in the regular service out west during the
entire five years OF their term?"
"1es, sir | remember that"
"Well, the idea then was TO send regi-
ments from the east TO relieve them, and
transfer them 10 the eastern points thus
vacated, but there was found TO be two oh
jectioDs TO this, one being that most of the
troops east were needed for active gsrris n
duty and no great number could be spared
at one time on furlougb. Another
objection was the cost of such annual trans
fers, and the fact thst many of the men
when taken east would be as far from their
homes as they are while out west, and the
matter for these reasons fell through, but
The officials have not abandoned the mat
ter, and are now discussing the scheme of
establishing reserve station where regi-
ments relieved may be kept in order to 81
low them leave of absence and where when
their fuIloughs expire they can rendezvous
for duty again. AS recruits, ARE enlisted from
sll parts of the country it would be most
convenient to have such a station centrally
located. The matter has been largely dis.
cussed. ST. Louis and Fort Leavenworth
have been spoken of SIS the only central
military posts, but they are rot considered
lust what is wanted or quite as central as
is desirable, and the general impression is
that new and separate post would be best
Jefferson City, Sedalis and Kansas City
have been suggested, and it is quite proba-
bic committee of military engineers will
be out this fall to look over the grounds"
If such move is really on foot, it will
be well for Sedalia to place herself in prop
er altitude to offer inducements to secure
the location Of this post, as it would add
greatly to our importance as well as prove
source of considerable advantage. Geo.
Sedalia possesses the advantage
of any other point, while her resources for
maintaining and supplying even large
force Of troops are equal to those of any
location In the country.

George Ferrill hes sold his interest in
the house of Muir Quarles & Fer1ill, and

This will cause q vacancy in the alder
manic board from the fourth ward.
The Missouri Pacific railroad had a
force of hands cleaning up the switches
about the depot yesterday. They did an
excellent job, and carried off four cars of
debris. The aulhoriIits ought to prevent
citizens from throwing rubbish on these
grounds.
The grading of North Usage street is
rapidly progressing. When the old eye
sore and libel upon the name of a depot
that now obstructs this street at the railro d
crossing, is removed, Ossge STREET will be-
come grand avenue that would be scredit
TO any city.
AS the train was coming north from
Clinton yesterday morning the engineer
noticed boy riding on the pilot. About
the same time the boy noticed the engineer
and became confused and lost his hold on
the pilot end was thrown into ditch. The
boys arm was broken. The train was
stopped and the boy brought to Lewis and
afterwards returned to Clinton on the even
ing train. His name was not learned.
1.-THE JEFF City Hibune says: Sedalia
does not want the branch penitentiary.
Her energies are just now being severely
taxed by an effort to secure town clock.
For this $1,000 are needed, of which S24
has go far been subscribed. This is Ger
tainly encouraging, and indicates that the
Queen city of the prairies has about as
much prospect of securing town clock as
she has of securing the capital"
Sedalia does not have to depend upon
SUBJ criptions to secure town clock but IL
she did she could raise the money in "a
hours.

WANT NO CONVICTS.
Marshall Does Not Want the Peni-
Tertiary too Close to Her.

In these times when every place, as a
rule, is wanting any and everything il can
or cannot get, it is refreshing change 10
find IN exception to this rule in the shape
of place petitioning against having a
thing. Such an exception seems to be
found in the following letter received by
Governor Marmaduke yesterday:

of its location in our midst. Very respect

A BAzoo scribe yesterday paid visit to
the new Lincoln public school house, in
process OF erection on the north side.
The.buildipg is Of brick Of the very best
quality, and will, when finished, be equal

The Preparations for the Memorial
Services.

Since the citizens meeting and the ont
lining OF the proposed program Tor the
memorial services In honor of Genera
Grant, which VIII occur next Saturday
only few of the organizations have held
meetings, and as consequence only a
limited idea can be formed of the OF the
number who will attend. But if the re.
sponses received from those who have met
aie to be the areterien, it will certainly be
a unanimous and spontaneous turn out, As
all have signifed their intention of partic-
ipating.
Fleur De Lis division K. of P. uniform
rank will par ade in full dress.
The Select Knights A. o. L. W. will also
:urn out, but whether on horseback or
afcot has not been determined IA yet.
All the city officers and departments will
turn out
The Good Templars voted to attend in
full RECALLS. The male members will Join

The A o. L. W. lodges have voted to
turn out in regalia.
The ID. o. II. will also parade.
The Turnyerien have voted $50 for APP
propriate decorations and will also parade.
The q. A. K. will parade and will be
Joined by the ex-copfedera:es The other
orders have not yet been heard from, but
will hold regular meetings during the COM
ing week, when the matter will be con-
sidered.
The Sunday schools are expected to take
action on the invitations to-day, and by
Tuesday a much better idea of The turnout
can be formed.
The mayor desires all organic tons to

A Needed ORGANIZATION.

A move is on foot to organize society
for the prevention of cruelty to animals.
Tho BAzoo has time aud again urged such
an organization because of the fact that
there are brutes and brutes, and of all the
british brutes the human brute is the most
british. There is scarcely day even in
mid summer that such instances of liz
treatment and abuse of animals through
neglect, hsrshness, starvation over work
and beating do not come under the eyes OF
the reporters in their rounds, and in winter
il is ten-fold worse. Let the good work go
on, and let the society get to work and rid
the community of such curses.

SEDALIA POSTOFFICE.
Mr.. Heard Defines His Position
Beyond Question.
The President Says that He Never
Saw Russell to Know Him.

Washington, d. g., July 81. The con-
troyersy over the Sedalia PoslCffice is be-
coming heated. A atement has been
published in Missouri 10 the effect that
Mr.. John d. Russell, the proprietor OF the
Sedalla Democrat, has been promised the
appointment by the president and by Mr..
Villas. This WIS shown to Representative
Heard Of the Sedalia district, and he was
sskel this evening what there was in it.
Absolutely nothing" he replied. with
emphasis. "There never was uttered CT
published a more arrsnt falsehood than
that Mr.. Russell has received any such
promise from either source. The day be-
tore left Sedalia gentleman informed
me tn t Russell had just told him that
the president had promis, d him (Rus selD
that he should have the place within
three months from the Gate of the promise,
which time would expire in July. Of
course L knew it was not true, but on ar.
irving here mentioned ii to the president,
who said, with some warmth:
Its lie, pure and simple. II / ever
saw the man in my life / don't know il,
and would not know him if he were to en-
ter this room cow. / never thought of
the case, and suppose that when a vacancy
occurs in the office / will hear from it in
the regular way
81 then suggested that Russell claimed
to have secured his (the president's) favor
through some friends or connections at
Buffalo, when Mr.. Cleveland replied:
DON'T MAKE PROMISES.
Nonsense, you know, Mr.. Heard, that
never promise anything, even If am go
ing to do il in FIVE minutes
a few days ago." continued Mr.. Heard,
II spoke to General Vilss about the Wash
ington telegram of the 17ih of July &c the
the effect that the presid. Mt had 8 Mt Rus
sells papers 10 the postm aster-g general with
an endorsement requesting investigation
ard action, and that ne Villas had sent
to Mr.. Russell for detailed statement in
writing of the whole trouble between Mr..
Russell and myself. Said General Villas,
with broad smile:
"'Well, Mr.. Heard, you might have
that statement without wait
ing to see me-
II replied that knew there was aothing
10 it, but | wanted his authority for saying
so, when he said:
BOTTOM FALLS OUT.
"'You have It, in the fullest measure. IL
Mr.. Russell or any body else brought
papers to my Office which r.lsted to any
hing connected with this depai tment,
would very natursll say, "Fiie your papers
Tor consideration at the proper time," but
hat have received any suggestions or in
iorsemenis from the president, requesting
anything in connection with this case, or
hat the case has ever been considered by
Dr. spoken of between the president and my
elf, or that have in any xay given Mr..
Russell any in.imation of encoursg mert
in connection with this matter, Is abso-
utely untrus.'"
Said Mr.. Heard in conclusion: "Rus-
ell and his friends are circulating these
reports to encourage the belief that will
De ignored in the mater of the appoint
nent of Blair's successor, and to induce
persons to come to RusSelps support. i am
loi at all uneasy about the result"

There is a journalist in Baltimore, a
man of long experience and with habits
almost Puritanical in their steadiness,
who spends his vacation in very novel
way. He is man of family, and in his
residence there is large and comfortable
cellar. Ii his family desire to go away
he interposes no objections, but he says
that, as far as he is concerned, he is not
going to pay three or four dollars day
for being cooped up in summer resort
hotel room when he has right at hand SO
MANY facilities for comfort. So, when his
holiday comes, he has the cellar thor
oughly cleaned and fitted up with sofa,
easy chairs, hammocks, etc. He collects
the best things in literature, lays in a
stock of provisions and plenty of cigars
and tobacco, and for two weeks he enjoys
the luxuries of life like king, exiled in
his own cellar-BaltimOre american.
