corroberative evidence TO the effect that his
class had at least one scholar il SAYS:
"The report published in the Globe Demo
crot of yesterday, to the effect that a man
answering the description of c. Arthur
Prellsr, had taught a singing class at
Elton station, in this county, may not be
without foundation. The fact that such a
party, as described in the report in the
Globe, did teach a singing class at Elsion.
early in last April, is eorroSorated by the
statement OF an intelligent youog lady,
whe is al present guest of the family of
Postmaster SIeininger.
The young lady referred to, Miss Eliza
Koehler, was seen by a Tribune reporter
lsst evening. She lives at Elston, and says
that the man who is supposed to have been
Preller came to Elston early in last April.
He organized sing ng class, which he
conducted for about two weeks, and then
disappeared, not even taking the trouble to
collect charges due him. No one knew
where he came from, as he was very un-
communicative. and made no friends.
Where he went after leaving Elston is not
known, and nothing has been seen or heard
OF him since his disappearance"

A Curiosity.

A colored man at work in John n. Dali
by's store cellar. removing some rock from
portion of the foundation which had
become loosened by time and the mining
OF rats, yesterday, came upon a curiosity In
the shape of a Geiunct rodent which seemed
TO have been walled up at the time the
was LAID, some fife en- years ago.
The defunct rat was found tightly sealed
up 10 a crack in the center of the founda-
ton and was sitting in crouching position
with its tail curled under its legs. All the
flesh OF the animal and its eyes had disap-
pesred, while the skin, minus the hair, had
dried upon the bones, leaving his ratship,
in pvrfect state of preservation as 10
shape and contour. 1t is supposed the rat
had sought shelter some morning in the
partially completed foundation and the
workmen had the following dsy entombed
him, to die Of starvation. The colored man
took the rat 10 Mr.. F. A. Sampson In hopes
of securing a small stipend from that gen.
tleman for the relic as an addition to his.
already large collection of curiosities.

about one p. m, when he found his wife in
the garden in an insensible condition, suf.

KANSAS KICKERS.
They Want a Fair Shake for Kan
sas City, Sedalia, etc.

Railroad Commissioners Pratt, Downing
and Harding were yesterday in Kansas
City hearing the complaints OF the mer-
chants OF that thriving town against the
freight Determinations now said 10 exist
by virtue of a collision IF merchants and
railroad officials elsewhere. The meeting
was held at The Office of the secretary of the
Kansas City board OF trade and was ad-
dressed by Messrs Hidden, Willis, Reynolds
and Nave. The latter gentleman was the
first to speak and those who followed CO.
incided and emphasized his utterances ss
applicable To every line Of trade.
Mr.. Nave gave, in behalf OF the whole
sale grocery trade, a most excellent and
thorOu~h account of the ways and doings
of the freigh. bureau in S.. Louis and
Chicago, established for the sole purpose Of
depriving Ksnsas City OF the natural trade
belonging 10 her. Mr.. Nave said: There
is an organ z alton in existence, both in 81.
Louis and Chicago, very expensive insti-
buttons, which pay very literally to the
commissioner they employ TO use all
car-lot rate now in existence, de-
msnding-to illustrate il practically-lhat
the rate of one barrel of sugar should be

sees the utter impracticability of instituting
such measures, which naturally result in
almost depriving the people at large of the
use of many articles OF necessity. The real
intention OF this movement is to centralize
the whole grocery trade in Chicago; per-
haps st. Louis may get little share. But
on the other hand there are a large number
of fourishing towns in Missouri which
would greatly suffer by ii. Is it reasonable
that Joplin, Carthage Springfield
and Sedalia should suffer that st.
Louis may profit by measure which is
not fair? We, the merchants
of Kansas City, ask but our right. Every
American is naturally opposed 10 centrall-
zation whether in politics or in commerce
According to the secret circulars of the So
cslied freight bureaus demand is made
to raise the price of every staple article
which is of important and absolute neces-
sity. The car-lot rates should be retained
by all means and the more wholesale GEN.
tiers we can build up in Missouri, so
much the better for the state; but, gentle
Een, accede TO the wishes of st. Louis snd
Chicago. and large number OF growing
towns will 60 down and our commerce in |
general will largely suffer-"
