The Sedalia Fair.

Last Friday we attended the Sedalis
fair, and the exhibit greatly exceeded our
expectations, and from the indications OF
enjoyment il was evident that we were 10
sccord with the thousands of visitors.
The display in quslity was fully up 10 that
of first class state fair, and we greatly
regret that more of Renton county people
had not visits the fair, because there was
so much to please men, women and child
rem. The exhibition of the finest horses,
cattle, sheep, hogs and poultry in the world,
the art hall, filled with thousands of arli.
Giles TO delight the ladies, and make q per.
feet wonderland for the boys and girls,
was worthy the visit of ten times a. many
ss were present. 1t is certain that the Sc.
dslia fair will be growing success each
year, and we congratulate President Daily
and the other officers on the fact that their
untiring labor is appreciated.-Rarsa

an early hour in a condition that rendered
him incapable Of telling bis own name,
and he was, as a consequence, booked
"Drunk man in No. 2" He will be sober
enough to answer his honor by Monday
morning.
Pony Lynch was in the city yesterday,
which is equivalent to saying Pony Lynch
was drunk, as he was never known to visit
Sedalis without becoming so and getting
locked up for general cussedness, and thai
is just bis condition now. Pony is young
man OF ability and vsry capable tutor,
but for the fact of his weakness for liquor.
1t HIS been some time since PoRy's last
bout with Sedalia bulge. At that time he
was brought up before the board, but was
not suspended as he signed compact never
again to drink. he will doubtless find
himself out OF job when he returns home

School Scandal.

Some of the good people of East Sedalia,
in the absence OF other sensation, are try
ing to work up little war with the pub
lie schools. 1t is openly charged that one
of the teachers 10 the Summit school seats
the male and female scholars together, and
there is some lively kicking over the in
PRODUCTION of this ancient rural custom.
Quite a sensation was created at the
North Side school yesterday by the Barnes
family. Since Barnes release from Jail he
claims that the other children sneer at his
little ones because of the stsin upon his
name. The teschsrs have used their best
efforts to prevent this, and have even gone
SO far as to dismiss his children ten min
utes before the regular hour. But yesler-
day Barnes and his wife appeared at the
school and abused the teachers In a scan
dslous manner. That the scholars have
done wrong is evident as no child should
be abused or disgraced by being Held re-
sponsibIe for the sIrs CT It's parents. But
the adult Barnes will 6rd they are playing
8 dangerous game in assaulting the teach
ers for something for which they are rot
to blame. The matter has been laid before

Obituary,

The death OF Miss Fannie Dabrill yester-
day was great shock 10 those who knew
and loved her in this city, and many ex.
pressions of sorrow were heard on all sides
She was the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. F.
E. Debrill, and was aged fifteen years and
six months. She spent the summer at FL
Dorado Springs with her grand parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. 7. T. Eales, and slthough
not particularly robust, vet was not taken
seriously i'll until about two weeks
ago when typhoid fever set in and she
died. as above stated, yesterday. She was
under the best of medical care and every.
thing that love and skill could suggest was
done to prolong her life, but alas, in vain.
Just at the age when life opers the bright
est and the bow of promise is the most
beautifully tinted, God called to her and
like tired child returning to the bosom of
its mother, the white soul of this fair young
girl went home to Him, where no thorns
can wound, no pain torture, no hate hurt,
no blame tarnish, and no sorrow grieve. 1t
is but the expression OF nature and affec-
ton to weep for her, but the
thought that eternal pace, eternal JOY and
eternal rest are her portion should dry the
falling tear and still the anguishsd throb-
bling of the heart.
There is a heaven where no hearts can break
There is a heaven that alone is JOY,
And angel voices there The silence wake
And love is sundered from ali base alloy.
The funeral services will take place ct
the Christian church in this city at o'clock
to-day, Rev. Payne, officiating.

pose TO have 1t tell sll about the reason
why the gentleman who took pains to ''ex-
hibit his pianos and Organs at the fair" for
five consecutive yesrs without competition
FAILED TO SHOW Up THIS YEAR when he
knew he would have all the competition
necessary to make it interesting. We will
say on our own part that that article don't
convey any truthful impression-in that
we positively did not wait, did not try to
lind out whether or not any other estab-

BUT AE DID TAKE 1T FOR GRANTED that the

We did most certainly expect to meet him
openly at the exposition and TO contest
with him for the honors. We also did not
expect this kingly de aler to resort to the
cheap dodge of dodgers or to the "Tod

A Small Blaze.

An alarm of fire was given between
and 10 o'clock yesterday morning, caused
by the discovery of flames issuing from the
roof of one story, two room frame dwell
ling house on Fourth and Prospect streets,
owned by David Blocher and occupied by
John Bollinger. The fire boys responded
gallantly and promptly and succeeded in
extinguishing the flames after about one
half the roof had been burned. All the
furniture and valuables were safely re.
moved and the entire damage will not ex-
coed $500. The origin of the fire YVES a
defective hue. Chief Baker, of the fire de-
partment, desires the BAzoo to state that in
going to the fire two nozzles were lost of
the engine which he would be pleased TO
have the finder return TO the engine house.
They are of little use anywhere else, yet
they cost the city a considerable sum.

The Wsbash troubles which we're though

that Mr.. Tslmsge endeavored in every waS

promises, as his superiors would insist or
his keeping them, were they given
In order to end the matter ami
csbly, the Powde.ly committ.e thought
It advisable TO take the implied
promises of Mr.. Talmaee and did so. The
agreement was that the old employees should
be allowed to resume work at least by the
LIST of October, or as fast as workmen were
required. Rumors have been afoat for 9
few Days that the committee were sgsin
becoming dissatisfied with the way things
are going, and in order to learn the exact
status, q reporter called on Mr.. Coughlin,
of the Wsbash committee. That gentle.
man insisted on not being asked to talk,
but finally admitted that trouble was again
br-wine.
"Why are you becoming dissatisfied, Mr..
Coughlin?" the reporter asked.
Because Mr.. Talmage has not kept his

"In what respect has he disregarjed his
promise?
He has been pu ting on new men, and
non-union men at that, in the places of the
old men who have not even been discharg-
ed vet. During the last week he has put TO
work in Moberly at least six men who have
never worked on the road before. Then
again, he has been having men arrested for
speaking against his actions, calling that a
breach of The peace. Why only to-day I
learn that two men at Moberly were ar
rested and sent to Jefferson City, and I am
informed to night that he has warrant out

a Sedaiia Couple Who Love
Sensation.

A rather apt illustration of the love
some people have for romance and sensa.
ton came to light yesterday, in which q
couple OF well known young society people
figure as the stars. For the past six
months it has been known to the intimate
friends of the couple and whispered By the
tongue OF gossip smongst the outsiders that
Frd Owens and Miss Belle Looney we're
betro'hed, and il vas supposed the course
oil their true love would run smoothly
a'onR and terminate In grand
wedding, as the old people on either side
we're into the secret aud had raised no OBJ
jeciions. 1t is probable this would have
been the case. but for the fact that viva
cious and handsome young miss who was
Miss Bellies lend happened to pay her a
visit while enroute to distant school and
during hertalks and walks informed her fair
hostess and companion that before leaving
home she had been clandestine;y married
TO
THE KNIGHT OF HER CHOICE
and that the secret was not 10 be divulqed
until beI school days were over when She
would re urn not to her parents home, but
u her own home TO enter at once upon the
untried mysteries of marital lie. But
whether this was really the incentive
which induced the fair Mss Loouey
TO perform like freak or
Lot, Certain j. is that she
did so rs nearly as possible. Some time in
August last Fred Owens called upon Re-
corder Conner snd requested q marrisge
license for himself and Mis-. Loorey, but
Mr.. Conner is q somewhat CAREFUL man
about issuing such Gocu nents, md d. clined
to grant the request without authority from
Mr.. Looney, giving as his reason that he
cid not know whether Miss Belle was of
the proper age or no., and for the time
the matter ended there. When or where
Mr.. Ovens secured his license is unknown
to the reporter, but certain il is be did SO,
and on the 23d OF August CT Whereabouts,
the couple visited Judge Hals:ead and
were
QUIETLY UNITED
after which ea=h returned to their homes
and coniinu.d the old time trys!inss and
gate swingiugs of conrtship DAYS with
that made people wonder If they
really were engaged, and If SO when the
Wedding was 10 be. Thus matters kept
their even course until few days SEQ
when Fred happened to loose his pocket
book and the finder was amsz d TO discover
in IL the marriage certificate of the twain.
Mr.. Looney Was made acquainted with the
Iacts, and when Fred next called TO see his
iulcinsa she taxed him with the
matter and demanded an explanation.
The young couple at once owned up and
snguishingly said il was a within of their
OWN. and now the the bellies and beaux are
Ill broken up to think that after all they
nave been cheated out of the wedding fes-
ivities and their concomiIant pleasures.
But probably the young couple couple will
get slcDg just as well as though a brass
BAND and torch light procession had es-
,orted them over the borders into the land
If matrimony. But the BAzoo cannot rec.
,mmend this mode OF marriage as one
which would prove desirable as prevail
ng custom.

AOharivari.

Thursday night J. C. Thomas and his
newly made bride, Miss Eunnice Cordes,
were rendered an ovation in the shape of a
charivsri which drew not less than 500 per-
SONS as spectators and participants. During
Its progress Andy Hans got too near an
open window and received pretty severe
blow in the eye from weapon in the
hands of some iomet e of the house. The
racket was kept up however, and the night
made hideous until near ~ o'clock, when
Officer PrintIce went down and put stop
to It.
