FconomicaI Chinese HABITS.

The economical habits OF the Heather
Chinese are notorious, and they are well
illu- trated by Il correspondent who.
writing from Tien-Tsin, says: TIE
Chinese infantry soldier is paid once q
month, when he receives three and a half
taels of silver. Ths sum, which is equal
to about 50 -, is given TO him in scrap
bullion; and during the night preceding
each pay day the paymasters are busilv
engaged in weigh NJ out silver and max
ing 1t up into neat little packages for
distribution, AS soon as he has obtained
his share the soldier takes it to the nearest
shopkeeper or money changer. who, in re-
turn tor IL, hands him 80 0 copper cash,
the aggregate weight Of which is quite as
much as he can conveniently carry. Out
of this the soldier has to keep himself in
food and clothing; and the pay cannot,
therefore, be called excessive. A China
man, however, lives almost exclusively
upon rice, a mouths supply of which
costs a good deal less tran LOCO cash; and
MANI private not only supports fam
lily upon the balance OF his ca nings, hut
puts by a few hundred cash every month.

BRUTALLY BEATEN.
The Work of yIncendiaries Near
Big Blue Last Might.

Mr.. a. g. West this morning reported
to Chief Speers meagre particulars Of the
brutal work of three incendisries on the
old West farm, near Big Blue about mid
night last night. The guilty parties are
unknown, but it is claimed they set fire to
the barn on the place and it was entirely
consumed, together with the contents.
The blaze was discovered by MIR. Fred
Conner, tenant on The farm, and on aP-
preaching the burning structure he was as
saulted by the three unknown parties snd
subjected to brutal beating at their hands.
When last heard from Mr.. Conner was still
unconscious from the effects of his rough
treatment, but the exact extent OF his in
juries is not known. There is no clue to
the perpetrators of the deed, beyond the
assertion of Mr.. West that one of the as
saulting party is large man with heavy
whiskers, while another is below the medi-
UNI height with a smooth tace.-Kansas

A BIT OF HISTORY
Which Goes to Show the Sad
Results of Evil Ways.
he. Wilcox, the Hero of a Very
Questionable Episode.

The readers of the BAzoo will recollect
the recent failure and sudden d+psr ure Of
j. 3. Wilcox and wife from Sedalia, and
the attachment OF their millinery e,tablish-
m 'nt by hungry creditors.
The BAZoo was yesterday put is posses
sion of bit of HISTORY concerning the
past career of Wilcox ard his wife which
shows that they are not Unfamiliar with
WAYS that are questionable to say The least.
Eighteen years ago Mrs. Wick was
red 10 +. III. Sussmilch III q prcmi-
Dent weller in Chicago, by this msIrisg+
q son wss born to them, and all went we'll
for awhile unit Mr.. Snssmilch employed
J. b. Wilcox as clerk in his st re. From
that time on trouble began, as Wilcox soon
set himself 10 work 10 gain the affections
Of Sussmilch's wife, and succeeded so we'll
that they were soon both mutually To-
fatuated. Ii was not long sfter this until
Sussmilch began to miss valuable articles
of j-welry. snd on questioning Wilcox was
told that Mrs. SussmIlch had come 10 the
store and taken them while her husband
was absent at dinner.
Wi was discharged and Mrs. SuSs.
milch at once left her husband and sued
for divorce Satisfied of her in6deiIty
Der husband made no defence and the di-
vorce was granted, and soon after this Will
cox and Mrs. Sussmilch were married snd
came west bringing the boy wi them.
This was five years ego and they sIill have
Mr.. Sussmilch's son de n" whose name
has been changed TO Wilcox.
Mr.. Sussmilch, who is at present mana-
ger of the Fletcher saddlery company of
Kansas City, was in Sedalia yesterday en-
d-avorirg to get on 10 the trail of the Will
cox's with a view to recovering his stolen
boy, of whom be had lost trace until their
recent break in Sedalis gave them such no
tlriety rs to bring their wher abb uts to his

HELPLESS AND HOPELESS.
Young Flannerty Returns Home
Without Being Cured.

VIM. Flannery, formerly a section fore.
man on the NJ. Z. d I. at Denison, Texas,
was in the city yesterday on his way home
from Indianapolis, Ind, where he had been
for treatment for INJURIES received by an
accident while on duty. His story is a re-
markable and very sad one, and dates back
to June 20, 1883, at which date he was
riding on the pilot of an engine looking
over the track when a cow was struck by
the engine and Flannery was Knocked
beadloOg from the pilot. striking upon
his shoulders with such force as to
dislocate his spine aed paralyze his lower
limbs He was brought to Sedslia for
treatment, but remained q helpless Grip
pie, though otherwise regaining his usual
health Returning 10 his home at Deni-
son, he remained there Till last July, when,
accompanied by his mother, he went to In
diansp lis for treatment at the famous in
siitute in that city. About one week ago
his mother was taken i'll and died, aud
finding himself without help and the treat
ment of no avail, Flannery decided to re-
turn home to Denison. He is a young
man of fine physique and handsome APP
pearance, and his condition is cause for re-
get and commiseration.

Getting Mixed.

I, For some time past the leadiss citizens
and patrons along the Marrow tGusge rosd
have b en- engaged in az -sf2rt TO secure a
change Of time for the running OF passeR-
ger trains With view 10 euabling them to
visit the Sedalia evening smusements with
ont losing two days time and also to en-
able them to secure better connections
p ,ssing through Sedslia. Certain interest
ed par les, however, have opposed the
change and in order to prevent ii have
gotten up and sent to the railroad company
petitions purporting TO be sigped by lead
ing sock men and others objec,ing to any
change. Yesterday Dave Custer, sot the
firm of Custer g. Co, the leading stock men
of Benton county, pass d through the city
and having learne that the name of his
6rm appeared upon the protest, denonnc d
il as vile forgery, saying he hsd not only
refused 10 sign il, but ihat he had when
approached on the subject, assured the par
ties getting it up that The stock interests OF
Benton and adjacent counties dem landed
such change. de further intimsted that
the CHI snces were that most of the names
on the protest were like forgeries.

A Lively Scrap,

A lively little scrspping match took
place between two we'll known north side
residents yesterday, which proved to be
more ludicrous than serious. The difiulty
originated through the Juveniles getting
into squabble, when the head OF one
family pulled the ears OF youngster be-
longing to the other family. An older
brother of the little victim who witnessed
the operation indignantly protested when
the assailant took after him, and a lively
race ensued to the porch Of
the boys home, where his pursuer grasped
him, and SIS he did so received blow from
the fist of the boys irare parent which sent
him to grass in short order, where his as
sailant pounced upon him lie hawk
upon chicken, and would have used him
up badly but for his begging mercy and
declaring he didn't know whose boy it was
or he wouldn't have done it 49,. "a
While mutual explanations were being
made the mother of the abused boys came
rushing out of the door armed with
broom. when the intruder cut his apologies,
short and took to bis heels just in time to
escape the broom which was sent flying
after him, and quiet once more settled over
the perturbed household. ca az s. 2.

a Bad Runaway.

Yesterday afternoon Rev. B. F. Boiler
met with a very serious accident. He was
just starting out for a drive from ]. III.
Mertz stables on Broadway, when his ami
NAL became unruly and runaway. The
bit having been left out of his mouth the
animal had all the advantages, and full
sway, which he used to such advantage as
to completely convert into kindling wood
the buggy to which he was attached. Rev.
Boiler finding it impossible to stay the
animal attempted TO get out over the rear
of the buggy, but was thrown violently to
the ground and sustained some very serious
conclusions, bruises and Commissions by the
shock. He was picked up in an uncon
scious condition, and conveyed 10 the resi-.
dence of Mr.. Mertz where medical aid was
hastily summoned, and his wounds, which
are not considered fatal, were dressed. He
was resting easy at a late hour last night.

BARTLETT-tTHOMPSON.
The Famous Couple Regain
Their Freedom.
They Leave Together for Their
.e Chiidhood's Home {?
Missouri Justice Altogether Too
Much for Them.

The BAzoo Sunday mentioned the fact
that Frank Bartlett ha1 forwatdef funds
TO Sedalia to be used to- defrsy the ex-
pense of his wife TO the home of her p -
rents provided she was willing 10 60. Her
paramount, Thompson, last Saturday
developed the latent spark of manhood
left IN him by coming forward and paying
her fine and costs, S72, and securing her
release. She immediately went to the City
Hotel TO stop and when asked by the
sheriff If she wss willing 20 return 10 her
mother if he would purchase ticket for
her to Concord, NJ. H., she replied thst
she was and a ticket was accordingly
bought yesterday aud she lief: on last nights
east bound trtin 10 company with Z. O..
Thompson, who stated that he was
GOING BACK TO HIS WIFE
snd children. III be does not do so then
there is no punishment too severe 10 in
flict upon him, for after he had paid
his own fines and those of Mrs. Bart
Init he had not cent left,
either of his own money or that
sent to him by his brother, and but for the
fact that his wropged ard forgiying vile
sent him funds, he would not have been
able 10 60 home at all. so 81.
Thompson stated to reporter yesterday
that be felt in duty bound TO see that Mrs.
Bartlett was released, snd be would have
done it even if he had had 10 work out her
fine upon the streets, but when that
was done and she was. once
more safe home, that he was done
with her forever. He had got his fill of
Missouri justice, and of the evil ways
which incurred it, and be proposed to 20
home and behave himself in the future.
1t is only to be hoped that he will keep
his promise, for it will take all the rest of
life that is left him to wipe out the disgrace
he has brought upon himself and family.
and the worst luck the BAZoo wishes him
since he has struck so forgiving a set of
victims, is that he will at once set about
doing il. I'D
Mrs. Bartlett, however, is much less re-
pentsnt, and declares she will never agsin
20 to her husband. She declined to talk
10 the reporter, and expressed the opinion
that Missouri papers and Missouri people
had lied on her about enough already.
She is undoubtedly about the hardest case
that has struck this section in many day,
and her husband ought to consider her a
very good radiance under any -circumstan-
ces, and Thompson is evidently In danger
Gus company so far as his good resolves
are concerned, while he travels with her.
