Dean Discharged.

The many friends of Jack Dean, the we'll
known X & T. brakeman, whose recent ar
rest at Nevada on the charge OF car break
ing, has heretofore been mentioned, will be
glad to lesrn that he was yesterday honor
ably acquitted, there being no evidence
produced at his preliminary examination
10 warrant his being held.
JACK has been a re.ident of Sedalis for
the past six years, during which time be
hiss been in the constant employ of the
company, and has always heretofore born
the best character for homes y, sObrieIy, in-
dustry and efficiency. He Is q general ia
vorite among the railroad boys ard the
merch ants with whom he desls, and his
neigbbors spe,k in the highest terms of
him. His relatives live in Kentucky, and
are highly respected and weii-to- pecpe.
He hes one OF the plsassnttst little homes
in Sedali., wife who Is perfect little Ia
dy, and daughter about years old, and
il is looked upon by everyone acquaint d
with the circumstances of the case as
highly improbable that he would risk his
good nsme and fair surroundings By
breaking into a car to abstract Sl.50 worth
OF oat meal, thing for which he could
have no earthly use, and the general i'm
preston OF his friends Is that the railroad
detectives were wilfullv misled by informa-
ton furnished by some person with mali
cious intentions.

THE CAPITAL.
What Statesman Said Concern
ing its Removal to Sedalia.

A Bszooite yesterday met prominent
member of the legislature at the Sedaiis
depot, on his way 10 the capital, and du-
ring a conversation with him, the member
said
whist is Sedslia doing towards agita-
ting the question of removing the capitsl
here?"
This was poser, even for the scribe and
he was compelled TO acknowledge he did
not know.
''Well, I'll tell you" said the gentleman.
"Sedalia certainly ought 10 be up an do
ing. Since / have been down there, /
have heard numerous inquiries on that
head and there seems TO be a very general
impression that big effort would be made
TO submit the 10 after TO vote OF the PEG.
pie"
"Well, suppose there was to be, do you
think there would be any chauce to bring
II sb0ut?"
81 think there is rs good a chance as
could be asked and probably better one
than will likely be presented for some time
10 come. As for myself l am strongly in
favor of it for many good reasons, and
from what little / have been able TO see
snd hear since the opening, L believe q
msjoriiy of the members are In favor Of
ii or would be if the matter was brouht up"
"But do you not think the hard times
would cause the people to refuse 10 vote for
it on account of The expense that would
sccrue"
No sir, in the first place, If SedslIs
makes the same offer she did before, to do
nate the grounds and pay the expense Of
the submission, do not think there would
be any additional expense,a as a new cspitol
building has become a necessity, and one
which will very shortly force itself upon
the people.
Secondly, building material and labor is
lower now than it is likely to be again in
many years, and the state treasury and
state finances and credit are better than
ever before. Don't you know Missouri
state bonds sre worth more in the market
to-day than United States bond? Besides
all this il would take two years to submit
it, and two more to accomplish the removal,
and there is no question that two years
from now we will be In the midst OF one of
the most active business periods ever exp,-
rienced In America.
No sir, Sedalia will never have a better
chance, and perhaps never have another
chance, 10 bring about a change would
not only be of advantage TO her, but of far
greater advantage to the state. But my
train is going, good night. And the law
maker vanished amid the smoke and
steam leaving the scribe lost in conjec-
ture as to whether the sage Scion was
prophet or a dreamer What do you
think gentle reader.

VITAL QUESTIONS.
Matters Of a General Import to
All and Sedalia In Partic-
ular.

Marshall, No., is fast becoming a live
town. She has taken hold of the questions
of internal and external Improvements,
with determination and VIVA which en-
titles her not only TO respectful hearing,
but 10 aid and cooperation, and which
stamps Der citizens as people determined
not ONLY to benefit themselves but their
neighbors and the entire community. Their
laudable efforts show they are fiji allies for
sny wide-swake city, and would prove a
dangerous fee competively. Time and
again have they sent emmissisries 10 Sc
dalia with offers to form an alliance Often
siye and defensive, for mutual advantage,
but il is sad fact that they have not been
accorded the encouragement they deserve,
and the question l., eau Sedslia afford 10
ignore their claims much longer without
suffering loss thereby?
That Marshall will have a railroad
through the Saline coal fields within the
NJ xt two years, there Can be no doubt, and
il is simply a question OF dollars and cents
whether Sedalia can afford TO let that road
60 to some other point or secure it herself.
Marshal and Saline county have expressed
preference for Sedalia, but they eau only
come TO the county line unless Sedalia and
Pettis county cooperate. Will they do
il?
Another very laudable example which
Sedalia can initiate without less OF dignity,
is that set by Marshall, in active vigorous
efforts to bring about such legislative &C.
ton rs will best Sc cure an improvement in
county wagon roads. Of all the draw
backs to trade. all the auxilisries to rail
road monopolies, all the means for illegit
innate sharp practices in trade, there is no
one thing SO potent as the BID aud neg
lected condition of the county roads, and
Saline county, frliv alive to these facts,
has he'd a meeting at Marshall and ap-
pointed committee 10 thoroughly can
vass the question and forward a recommen-
darion and report to the legislature as to
The best and most feasible plan for i'm
proving county roads. The committee will
meet to-day in Marshall to complete their
report and forward it to Vim. Walker, at
Jefferson City.

Death of Julia Castle holmes.

JACK DEAN.
His Sister Comes to the Rescue
and Balls Him.

The readers of the BAZoo will remember
the account of the arrest a few days since
of Jack Dean of this city at Nevads on an
information charging him with car break
ing, although Jack is by profession car
brakeman. Ii was not In the contract that
he was to break cas- in the manner charged.
Since his arrest, however, Jack has not
only bitterly denied the charge brought
against him, but used every effort 10 defend
himself and prove his innocence, an effort
to procure bail, however, having failed
him at Nevada. So great was his horror
of being consigned to telon's cell that he
employed q special guard al a cost for
salary and board of s. per day. He also
wrote to sister in Kentucky and she at
once responded to the appeal by forward
ing him $500, which he deposited In the
Thornton Bank st Nevada as security. and
j. E. Harding of that place signed the bond
which made him again free man. Dean
is known to many peisons in SedsLa as he
has for some time resided here and has a
family now in this city. He has been in
the employ of the X & I. IS brakeman
for some time, and while at times a little
reckless, as are most of the fraternity when
off duty, no one here ever suspected him of
anything criminal. His case is to be heard
in Nevada to-day and as before said, the
BAzoo hopes he will be able to prove his
innocence

-Yes;erda y evening a twelve year old
daughter of Mr.. u. K. Edwards swallowed
a pin, and in passing down it lodged some
two or three inches above the entrance to
the stomach. Its presence was a constant
irritation and induced vomiting. DR.
DAWSON was called and after about an
hours work, he succeeded in rsmoyipg it
with pair of forceps. The pin was to one
side, not directly scross, the canal, which
made il much more difficult, to remove.

doctor and particularly so for the unlucky
girl. She is all right, however, to-day,
