Through a Window.

Yesterday Eddie Thomas, six
year-old urchin, was engaged in play
ing with an iron nut fastened to a
string, which he was whirling around
his head in front of Dave COstellO's
barber shop. The string suddenly
slipped through his fingers and the
missile went hurting through the bar
Der shop window, passing through the
glass of the double sash into the room
with the force of bullet. Half a
dozen startled men rushed from the
shop, expecting to find a frst-class
fight going on, but when they diseov-
cred only a wee frightened, wailing
boy, they turned back into the shop
and made up purse to pay the dam
age, on condition that Costello would
allow the little fellow to 60 unpunish-
ed for his unintentional act.

WOODEN is WANTED.
The "Regnlar Graduate" Not
permanently Located"
as He Was.

About a month ago there came to
Sedalia a middle-aged man of rather
respectable appearance who was not
slow in introducing himself as CDR.
Wooden" a regular graduate in
medicine" who proposed to perma-
nently locate in Sedalia. He was ac-
companied by an elderly gentleman
who sounded the doctors virtues %
far and near, and when the doctor Sc
cured an office at 10 west Second
street, up stairs, the e. g. acted as an
outdoor assistant, drumming up pa
tients, as it were.
Wooden's advertisement was of the
stereotyped style adopted by all
quacks, and as his likeness accompa-
MED it, attracted considerable atten-
ton. His speciality was private dis
eases, the advertisement stated,
and he guaranteed a cure or money
refunded. His also guaranteed to
benefit within G day, but a cure
could not be expected inside of a
month the exact period Of the doc
tors sojourn in Sedalia.
Business was not excessively lively
with the regular graduate" but ne
managed to rake in a few shekels, and
thus the wolf was kept away from the
door.
Those treated, however, aid not re-
ceive the benefits they had anti.
cipated, and of course there was
grumbling in consequence but the
doctor pacifed them for the time be.
ing by stating that the required
period for successful results had not
elapsed.
In this manner his victims were
quoted, but at last the doctor realized
that the jig was up, consequently he
decided to seek pastures new.
Wednesday he packed his effects and
removed them, leaving nothing but
the key-hole, and it is surmised even
this would be missing could the reg
plar graduate" have carried it away.
Wednesday evening he purchased a
ticket to Parsons, Kansas, while his
associate, the elderly gentleman, Sc
cured one for Dallas, Texas, and at 6
p. NJ. both took passage on the south
bound train.
Their present whereabouts are I'M
known to their several creditors in
Sedalia, but it is quite probable they
are now laying for suckers in a new
field, with a probability of catching
them. Farewell, Wooden; farewell,
elderly gentleman.

Sudgen Singed.

Geo. r. Sugden was done for yes
terday for the first time in the history
of man. The case of /. NJ. Occult VS..
Sugden, suit for s7.35, was set for
a hearing before Justice Marvin. The
defendant labored under the inn
preston that it was to be tried before
Justice Halstead and he was on hand
there at the announced hour. He
tarried half the afternoon and then
discovered that the case was to be
disposed of in Justice Marvin's court.
Fastening thither, Mr.. Sugden ascer-
tanned, to his great disgust, that
judgment had been rendered against
him by default. He at once filed an
appeal bond and the case will now
come up in the circuit court.

Dead and Gone.

Pat Sullivan was in distress yester-
day, all on account of a death in his
family, the victim being young and
promising colt of great value, and for
which Pat entertained deep affection.
During the heavy hail and wind storm
of some three weeks ago the colt was
in pasture near Flat Creek, and
when the miniature tornado stuck it, it
was carried with great force through
an adjacent hedge fence, receiving
divers wounds about the body from
the thorns of the hedge, many OF
which penetrated the flesh and were
broken off Pat brought the colt
home at once, and it has ever since
been under medical treatment, bat the
kindest and tenderest care was of no
avail, and yesterday it passed peace
fully away before Pats fearful eyes.

A Brutal Husband.

A brute of a husband, who resides
north of the railroad, is laboring
zealously for newspaper notoriety.
Thursday night he threatened his wife's
life and compelled her to leave the
house, and the inhu%an treatment
was repeated again Friday night. A
gentleman who was passing the house
when the last difficulty occurred
stated that he never heard more
scandalous language than that used
by the husband, and he inclined to
believe that the whipping post is the
proper remedy in this instance. A
word to the wise is sometimes efficient.

The Missouri Christian State Sunday
School convention was held in Richmond,
Mo-, June 14-17. The delegates from
Sedalia were Elder NJ. NJ. Davis anG wife,
Mrs. W. 81. Paris and ]. S. Hughes. They
report pleasant and most profitable time.
The attendance was very large, about 300
delegates. The entertainment was royal.
The work done during the year was the
best in the history of the movement. The
spirit of the convention was pre-eminently
Christian and the enthusiasm was bound
less from the beginning. More money was
raised than ever before, about $1,000.
This emboldened the convention to employ

time to Southeast Mi souri,. Besides this,

FEED STORE BURNED.
Mr.. Richard Olmstead Lost
$1,000 Worth of Property
Late Last Night.

The two-stOry frame building occu-
pied as feed store by Richard Ohm
stead, and located in the rear of his
residence at Fifth and Hancock streets,
burned to the ground shortly before
IL o'clock last night.
At about l1:30 o'clock Isacc
Wright, jr., was returning home from
a meeting of the Knights of Labor as
sembly, when his attention was
directed to the burn
ing building. He gave the alarm
and aroused Mr.. Olmstead's household,
but the structure was doomed. The
East Sedalia fire department turned
out promptly, but were powerless, as
the building was a sheet of flame,
and, as stated, it was entirely con-
sumed.
A carriage worth $50 was
burned, as were many other
articles of value, and the
total loss will foot up $1,000. There
was some insurance, but Mr.. Ohm
stead could not say how much, nor IN
what company.
The fire is supposed to have been
caused by tramps, who slept in the
building and carelessly handled a
match in lighting a pipe or cigar. If
not this, then it was the work of an
incendiary, as there had been no fire
about the place during the day or
night.

quiet must prevail in the sick room,
and friends who have the young mans

MAD AT MIDDLETON.
Il. b. Anderson and Major Niles
as Knights of Labor
Organizers.
How They Made a Dismal Fail
ure Recently at Robin
sons School House.

"Doc" Middleton was in the city
yesterday, and he probably met 7.
B. Anderson, late Knight of Labor
candidate for mayor. but it is dollars
to dimes that the latter was not overly
pleased at the meeting, notwithstand-
ing they have both trained under the
republican banner for years. The
time was when cordial greetings were
exchanged every time these two gen.
tlemen CHANGED to meet, but that day
has passed. never to return again. The
reason is this:
A few evenings ago Mr.. Anderson
and Major Chas. n. Niles, the latter
also well known in Sedalia, visited
Robinson's school house, FIVE miles
southwest of the city, with a view of
meeting the farmers of that section
and organizing Knights of Labor as
sembly. The visitors were met by a
very clever audience, numbering
probably fifty persons, and the would
be mayor and the major were happy
in the thought that Martin Irons,
would, within a couple of hours, have
left a hundred additional followers.
The meeting opened most auspic-
iously, and Major Niles was in the
midst of an eloquent peroration; when
cloud appeared in the horizon,
caused by "Doc." Middleton entering
the building. He took seat and for
several minutes was an attentive
listener, although not believer in the
speakers utterances.
The Major having concluded, the
ex-candidaIe for mayor arose and in
the highest style of oratory set forth,
from his standpoint, the many virtues
of the "nOble order" He had not
proceeded far, however, before Mr..
Middleton began to interrupt him
with interrOgatiOns, many of which he
was unable to answer, consequently
he became badly ratified. He stam-
mered for a few seconds and then
attempted an answer, but failed,
and finally sat down when Mr..
Middleton addressed the audience.
Those who know the doctor can mag
inc the manner in which he handled
his subject. His blows were as telling
as they were unanswerable, and es-
pecially did he strike the nail on the
head when he stated that persons now
engaged in organizing lodges had,
only short time before, gone on the
bonds of murderous Knights, charged
with train wrecking and other similar
crimes.
Mr.. Nichols, and able speaker, fol-
lowed in a similar strain, and de-
nounced the Knights and their meth
DDS in most unmeasured terms, elicit
ing warm applause.
This was too much for Messrs. An
derson and Niles, and without further
ceremony they adjourned the meeting
and returned to their homes without
so much as having secured a single
convert.
And this, reader, is why Anderson
and Middleton do not speak now as
they pass by.
