of the ante-room being also locked, but
having a sliding panel just large enough
for man to talk through, and before ad-

Police Court.

Four cases occupied the attention of Re
corder Levens yesterday.
II. Ogle pleaded guilty TO violation OF
the dog taI law in keeping a canine upon
which the tax was not paid. He urged In
extenustion, however, that he was entirely
ignorant of the Law and he was dismissed
with the nominal fine of 81, for which he
was given . stay of execution on condition
that he pay the tar ut once.
s. p. Cohen was also arrsigned upon the
charge of disregarding the dog tar ordi.
nance. He pleaded not guilty, but the
evidence being conclusive, he was fined g,
which aflount he paid under strong pro-
test.
James Leroy, sliss William Pollock,
who was arrested Friday night, while in Q
state of hilarious intoxicatiou. Indignantly
denied having been drunk, but the matter
of fact statement of the officer who AZ
rested him settled the matter, and O 6ne
of SO was imposed, about twice the
usual charge on account of Pollocks dis
orderly demeanor during the trial. He
will be Q resident of the calaboose and
member of Street Commissioner Jackson's
gang for q few days.
Charles Simmons, who was arrested
while asleep in boz car, was fined 81 for
trespassing upon railroad property. Show.
ing 70 the satifaction of the court that he

License Too High.

George Mackey, agent of the Creston
new rail show, circus and menagerie, which
passed through the city Thursday night,
was in the city yesterday. and informed q
BAzoo reporter that owing to the eItraor-
dinarily steep county and city license, his
show will skip Sedalia. He also volun-
teered the information that Sedalia will
not be troubled with many tented exhibi-
tons this season unless the city council
reduces the license. Coles and Sells
Brothers shows have already given this
city the 90 by, andthe majority of those
on the road viii probably follow suit
The license, including state and city, is
about $3.50 against an average of $50
charged at other points. Sells BROTHERS
exhibited at Jacksonville, Rich Hill,
Osceola and other points In this section of
country, and missed Sedslia, because they
say they cannot think Of paying such an
exorbitant price.
Mr.. Asckey says that there are about
eighty shows on the road this year, among
which are several new concerns.

Wants to See the Papers.

County Attorney Lamm informed q
BAzco reporter yesterday that he has no,
refused to institute quo warrsnto proceedings
against the present city government be-
cause they were instigated by disreputs-
BILE attorney as stated by the BAzoo, but
before taking any action he desired to see
the papers and learn the points involved
in order to be able to act intelligently.
Snoddy, the attorney for the schemers in
the quo warrsnto farce, has not yet sub
mitted any papers and it is not known
when ne will do 80, if at all. Should he do
so the documents will receive due consid-
Grafton and most careful examination at
the hands of our efficient county attorney
before any action is taken.

L. S Murray, Sheriff, SedaLa, Mo.
DEAR SIR:-In reply to yours of this
date, in which you say, certain parties for
political purposes accuse you of dereliction
of duty during the railroad strike, i have
TO say, that am sorry to learn that any
such charges have been made, and that
do not desire to be drawn into any such
controversy in any way. As attorney for
the railroad company prudence would die.
tate silence on my part. Where all the
officers of the law, both state, county and
city, so promptly performed their duty, it
seems to me very prejudicial to the public
service to single out any one for either
praise or censure
That you responded to every call made
upon you by the railroad officials, and to
the full extent of your lawful powers, ex-
ercised the prerogatives of your Office, I
never heard questioned or disputed,
Respectfully &c.
VIZ. S. SHIRK.

Even the delivery horse hung his
head in drowslness, and the mule was
the perfect picture of inanition.
The passing wagons crept lazily along,
and their reverberations over
the sloppy streets echoed through
the silence only to make the silence
more impressive.
The police walked their accustomed
rounds without seeing the slightest IN
fraction of the law, and the loafers
drowsily nestled on the vacant cor
ners. under friendly awnings, undis-
turbed.
Even whiskey lost its vigor, and
fell into the glass from the decanter
without sparkle or bead, while the
billiard ball lazily crawled across the
cloth on Its hands and knees.
The circuit court room was compar-
atively deserted, but Notwithstanding
