An Attempt at Murder.

st. Louis, Mo-, August 22.-Considerable
excitement Caused in Fest st. Louis
about $50 last evening by the report that
Aldermsn William Shea of the Second
ward had BEEN shot and killed by we'll
known young man named Ted Guihsn.
The report that Mr. Shea had been killed, :
however, proved incorrect, though he had
been shot by Guihan twice and SERIOUSLY.
1t appears that Cuban had been drinking
TO excess of late, and yesterday he was
about town In an intox Gated condition and
in rather a belligerant mood. Since the con-
victiou OF Tom Duffy for participation in
the city vault robbery, OF whom Guihau is
3 broIher-in-law, the latter has entert linen
ill-feelings toward Alderman Shea, alleging
that the alderman did not help Duffy in
MS trial IS he ind his relatives expected
While sober Guihsn, it seems, snOthered
this sntipilhy, but when intOxiraied he
vented his feelings towards the aldermen.
Mr.. Shea is also the superintendent of the
Venice and Carondalet Railroad, and as he
was returning hon., having stopped on
his way to or Ter load of coal, ABOUT $50
last evening, he met Guihan near an alley
close to Sixth street and Missouri avenue,
and not far from DR.. Fsirbrother's res

tween them are not defin;ta
known, but at all events, Cuban pulled a

through the flesh of the calf of the right
leg, N the S, cond one went into the lie t
hir. After firing the second sbO', Gulhan
started of on a run. and Mr.. Shea, though
shot twice, managed to walk TO mis- home
on Sixth street, near st. Patrick's church i.
and had DIS. Fsirbrother and Win on CALI
ed. Tn. wound In the calf Of the leg
the bullet having gone thr, ugh it, was
dressed, but the bu let in the hip could not
be found, though it was probed for. For
the time, the physicians are not able,
| ,ie6nitely, to state how serious the hip
| wound is, but their impression is that IL Is
DOT necessarily dangerous. Mr.. Shea says
hat he and Gulhan had no words when
| they met that he remarked. How are
you, Ted ?" AMI that Ted pulled his pistol
and did the shC citing without any cere-
mony or words.
The police were soon after Gu;h.n or
hearing of the shooting, and In about half
an hour be was caught in Q vscsnt house
on Third street, near the l., and n, track,
in the Second ward. AS the policemen
approached him he drew his pistol on
item, but the officers did likewise, and he
surrendered. He was locked up, but being
greatly under the influence OF liquor and
| excited, no connected statement could be
gotten out of him. He kept continually
denouucing Shea. Mr.. Shea was in con-
siderable pain last night, but the opinion
is that he will pull through all right.

Fretting.

This morning got up cross as abear.
I felt as rough and tingly as chestnut
bur. / was all out of sorts, and it
seemed to me it would be pleasure to
snap up anybody who spoke to me as
short rs l could.
Most likely would have done so and
set the whole household by the ears for
the rest of the day, but that L have had
such moods before, and learned by expe-
rience the best way to manage them.
'.Now," thought 1, 'my best plan is
not to influence the whole family, but
to remain neutral, and let them influ-
ence me-" Accordingly, tried to con-
troll myself little, and await events.
Well, the two elder children got up
merry and as happy as cr;ckets; papa
was in pretty good humor; and the
baby sat in her high chair and displayed
all her little airs and graces, and her
newest funny little capers. and We must
all look and admire; so, by the time
breakfast was over, / was laughing and
smiling as cheerfully as the rest, and
passed pretty comfortable day after
all.
And as I was thinking of this at even
ing, | thought how easily little fret
ting might have upset the whole family
and spoiled the day.
Now. fretting is both useless and un-
necessary; it does no good and great
deal of harm; yet it is almost univer.
sal sin. More or less we are given to it
We fret over almost anything. In sum-
mer because it is too hot, and in winter
because it is too cold; we fret when il
rains because it is wet; and when il
does not rain because it is dry; when
we are sick, or when anybody else is
sick. In short, if anything or every.
thing doesn't 90 just to suit our particu-
lar whims and fancies, we have Just one
grand refuge-tO fret over it.
/ am afraid fretting is much more
common among women than among
men. We may as wei own the truth,
nv fair sisters, if it isn't altogether
pleasant. Perhaps it is because the lit
tie worries, cares and vexatlons OF our
daily life harraSS our sensitive nerves
more than the extended enterprises
which generally take the attention OF
men. Great wants develop great re-
sources, but the little wants and wor-
ries are hardly provided for. and like
the nail which strikes the saw. they
make not much OF mark, but they
turn the edges terribly. / think if we
looked upon all the little worries of one
day as a great united worry, self-con-
troll to meet it would be developed.
But as they generally come. only one
or two little things at time, they seem
so very little that we give way. and the
breach once made in The wall soon
grows larger.
know many mother has turned
her son against her own sex, and made
him dread and dislike the society OF
women. by her example constantly sci
before him. know that many 9
mother has brought up and developed
a daughter just like herself, who, in bel
turn, would wreck and ruin the com
fort of another family circle. AND
knowing all this, know that we ought
to set our faces like flint against this
useless, sinful, peace-destroying and
Misunderstanding habit Of fretting.-

Again TO the Front-The Outlook
For our Coming Fair.

The board of directors of the Sc
dalia Exposition association have now
commenced vigorous campaign for
the patronage of the great public for
the coming Sedalia fair. September s
to II. All our readers will remem-
Der the magnificent preparations made
for last years fair, and the more than
grand success that the association had
in gathering together an element that
would have made the Sedalia fair of
1884, the most magnificent one of the
state, and one long to be remembered
BY the citizens of this city and the
people of Central Missouri. Every
department was filled to overlooking {;
superb herds of cattle, magnificent
show horses and stock of every kind
had to be found comfortable quarters
down town, for the simple reason that
the associations accommodations at
the park, ample as they generally are,
were totally inadequate to the demand.
Race horses were gathered from all
over the United States. Horses
owned in California, Nebraska, Da-
kota. Colorado, Tennessee Texas,
Ohio, Pennsylvania and our own
neighboring states, having entered for
the Sedalia races, twenty-one horses
with records of 2:20 and better being
on the association books. Yet the
public did not see these rare and cost
" horses race. nor was the Sedalia
fair a success in anything more than
in the gigantic success it could have
been.
And why? Because of the wealth
er-the pitiless rain came down in tor
rents and continued day after day, go
that in spite of the erandness of the
conception, and the ability with which
it was carried out by the directors OF
the fair at Its close found the associa-
ton 81, 900 loser. But with true Sc.
dalia pluck they made an assessment
upon the stockholders, paid every ex-
hibitor in full, leaving no one GO
away from Sedalia without being paid
in full, and now the Sedalia fair
comes again before the public for its
liberal patronage, and promises that
its sixth annual meeting,
SEPTEMBER s TO II
inclusive, shall be in every way up to
the standard, and in all respects
worthy of the most generous patron
age of every one. Ten thousand dol.
lars are offered in premiums, so divid
ed as to be Justly distributed to all
classes. The beautiful grounds, the
finest of the west, will be put in that
perfect condition which has been s
marked feature of the former fairs
and new and pleasing attractions vii
be placed before the people from day
to day. Catalogues and any infOrma
ton can be had by addressing

The preponderance of widows over
widowers in England is often remarked.
The census returns show this to be un-
mistakably the case. There were in
1881 close upon 1,OOO,O 900 widows in
England and Wales, the number OF
widowers being less than half as many.
OF these 1000, 900 willows $1,000 were
under thirty-tive years of age. In Ire
land and Scotland the number of wild
ows was in each case three times that
of the widowers.

United States man of war Yantic, which
arrived at quarantine the 11th inst, from
Colon, for the purpose Of proceeding to
to New Orleans, to take silver from the
mint 10 Washington, is still under deten-
ton by orders of the board of health. The
captain refused to submit his vessel to
disenfection and fumegate, and the conse-
queuce is DR.. Holt, hes given order not TO
let her proceed to the city, Colon being at
present infected with yellow fever. 1t is
probable that an arrangement will be
made to have the silver conveyed to the
Ysniic, where she now lies, as her capt-in
has informed the officers of the board of
health, that he prefers putting out to sea,
to being disenfect.d and fumegated.

MAXWELL'S VISITORS.

The curiosity to see Maxwell still
RACES, and it is stated that the jailer
is obliged to get up at midnight be-
cause of the many applicants for ad-
mission.
This curiosity is not confined to
men either, but women Of respecta-
bility and position, and already the
prisoner is besieged with letters and
requests for bis autograph. Why it
is that a man becomes hero because
of his atrocious deeds,i something of a
mystery, and certainly no other ex-
ample is needed to build up in the
youth of our land disdain for the
upright, and in consequence, hum
drum existence belonging to a moral
life, than instances similar to the
above.
There is always that desire founded
upon original sin perhaps, in the
heart of the young and inexperienced
to do something" by which to be-
come known outside of a contracted
sphere, and when this can be done by
some atrocious crime, the opportunity,
nine times out of ten, will not be neg.
lected.
The boy who sees his mother o:
sister preparing dainties, or carrying
flowers, or condoling, perhaps, with a
man who has no claim upon tn m save
that his hands have been Redeemed by
the blood of his fellow, is pretty apt
to grow up with the idea that crime is
something to glory in rather than alb
hor, and it is question, before the
down of manhood is well upon his lip.
If he too, does not become an object
for the same-if they can be so called
-laudatory attentions. Padding a
criminals cell with woman's tears and
woman's dainty gifts and tender com.
passionate missives even though they
emanate from what may be termed
cranks, is a precedent that is bound tc
work evil, and popular opinion as ex
pressed by common sense people,
should SO powerfully condemn the
practice. that any woman capable Of
the blush of modesty would be asham
ed to let it be known that she had
ever dreamed of such ministration, lei
alone INDUCED in it.
If, On the ground of endeavoring
to save souls, these women are com
passionate for the murderer in bis cell
let them turn their attention to the
wide field which has such a large har
vest and 30 few workers, the fallen OF
their own sex. Here their supera.
bundant pity can be understood and
sympathized with, and the example
before the youth of both sexes will

who knows, perhaps through eternity
