Pleasant Green, Mo-, March 49,
Correspondence This little vii
lage, situated eighteen miles north of
Sedalia, on he NJ, K. & T. railroad,
Cooper county, numbers about 200
inhabitants. Though situated in one
of the richest grain countries in
America and doing larger business
than most towns of four or Eve times
It's dimensions, Pleasant Green does
not promise to become very populous
place in the near future, as it is labor
ing under a difficulty peculiarly its
own and perhaps without parallel
in the history of towns. The diff
Guilty grows out of the fact that with
the exception of the forty acres upon
which the town is now built, the sur
rounding territory in every direction
belongs to a cranky individual who
long since conceived a grudge against
the innocent little burg, and in re-
venge attempted to shut off its com
munication by every route except the
railroad, which he could not control
and persistently refusing to sell foot
of mis- property for town lots.
The citizens have, however, at
great cost succeeded in opening de-
sired county roads through his prem
ises, and now occupy their little prem
ises good deal on the style of town
surrounded by adamante walls, or an
ocean of water. Of course real estate
is very high, and well occupied owing
to the large trade the country affords,
and which is of necessity controlled
by the few lucky owners of town lots.
Chief among these is DR.. j. g..
Beck, former Sedalian, who
has a handsome store room
filled with one of the largest stocks of
general merchandise in Central Mis-
souri,. DR.. Thruston has q handsome
drugstore, and with the aid of DR..
OBrien, supplying the necessary ply
sic. There are several other handsome
stores and a livery stable, with the
usual supply Of granaries, blacksmith
chops, ETC., and the town is quietly
waiting for its giant enemy and mo
nopolist to die, in hopes that the dis
sensions of his heirs will enable them
to extend their limits.

the strike have been at their homes in
Joplin, arrived in the city tonight
and repaired at once t their quarters.
The general impression, howrver, is
that any such attempt Will be prompt
ly checked, as the strikers, although
they have apparently obeyed orders
and abandoned the railroad, still keep
a close surveillance over the yards
from a distance and seem prepared for
any emergency that may demand their
presence. The BAzoo still holds its
pre-eminence as the favorite paper of
the people outside of home papers,
which are, of course, well patronized,
as they should be. Of these there is
at present four, two weeklies and two
daily and weekly journals. all of
which seem to do prosperous bust
ness. Kansas City, st. Louis and
Chicago papers also receive a liberal
patronage as do the adj ,cent county
papers and eastern periodicals, the
people as class, being great readers
and, as a result, very INTELLIGENT.
Taken all in all Nevada promises in
the very near future to become one OF
the leading cities of the west and a
powerful factor in the development OF
the vast resources which will some
day render this section the eden OF
the world.

1t now trsnspires that after all it
was not that Bismarck wished to rid
himself Of the Poles because they
were obnoxious to him from either a
political or religious standpoint, but
because the Poles were almost to a

pulls ost, like the new opera hat which

OUR SUNDAY SERMON.

Whatever may be the condition of
affairs In this city at present, the diff
erences of opinion, the Earring disSen-
sions, the peculiar taking of sides,
which marks all mighty movements,
the division of households in argu-
ment, the feeling in business or So
ciety, there is one neutral ground
where all may meet in harmony to-
day, in peace and harmony, where
the story of Christ's love for mankind
is told by the lips of those who be-
lieve and teach because of believing,
and that is In the church of the living
God.
Go to church to-day; forget the
hot hearts and hot heads of yester-
day, let the "old story" SOW its sweet
ness and purity amid the trivial
hatreds, the arrogance, the pride, the
scorn. the evil which comes of the
world, aad which after all brings no
peace, no happiness.
Never before in the history Of the
world has there been such need of
religion. Humanity, as a rule, has
less care for the immortal soul, for
the Judgment which is so near, than
it has for the flesh and the opinion of
its fellows.
There are taunts flung at religion,
there are sneers hurled at the church
es, there are revilings for the clergy,
but to-day the rock of Hope is on re.
ligion, the churches are the refuge OF
the many. and the honest, upright
clergy are the best elements of the
nation. Go to the church, then.
What If the preacher is not interest
ing, what if the sermon is full of the
CRY THAT ou4ighsens-bx bat does not com
fort, God has said. wherever a
few are gathered together in my name
there am in the midst" Fellowship
with God for one day is a good thing
to leavea the other six and he to
whom there is a future, other than
merely this earthly existence, will be
happier, eye and better, if he will to-
day attend church.

Sedalia is as dead low as a smoked
herring, and several of the prominent
merchants are beginning to inquire
about the capacity of the poor house.
During these times, when the voice of
the striker is heard from the rising of
the sun the going down of the same,
nothing is so cheerful as big, wide,
deep and long river close to city
Jefferson City Tribune.
The strike may for a time make
busin IS dull in Sedalia, but even this
Wi b other added to it could not make
Sedalia die. The "remaihs" in sleepy
hollow should ''put up" as being alive
or else "shut up"

NEVADA NUGGETS.
A GOssippy Letter From One of
the Livest Towns I'm the
Southwest.

Nevada, Mo-. March II. Cor
respondence. Barring the effects of
the strike Nevada is perhaps one of
the most live towns in the state.
Populated 5y a thrifty, genial and
progressive class of people, with two
railroads centering in it, it is fast as
Stunning an importance as a business
center, that draws to it large num-
Der of tradesmen and wealth seekers.
Surrounded by a rich and fertile
country Its resources promise to
keep even race with It's growth for
many years to come and it,
present metropolitan pretensions
in the way of water works, gas works,
telephones and other modern improve
ments are fully warranted by its
future prospec g. One Of Its latest
moves is the introduction Of gravel
roads, which are equal to any in the
country. A move is on foot to intro
duce the electric light, which will
doubtless prove successful. In the
matter of hotels the city is well sup
piled, there being number Of ex-
cellent establishments of this kind,
chief among which is the Hotel Mitch
ell, which is an establishment that
would do credit to any city, and its
genial landlord, Harry Mitchell,
would prove himself prince among
hosts liz any land. The lockwood
house is also frst-class establish
ment with all the latest appliances
and luxuries and does an excellent
business.
Every cla.s of the mercantile trade
is also well represented and literally
patronized, and The coming sea-
son vii witness the establish
ment of a large number of new
enterprises ami business houses. And
other item of Important is tn
new state insane asylum, work upon
which will be pushed this spring and
in which the whole population feel q
commendable interest. One thing that
the city lacks, however, is a factory of
which like all other western cities it is
barren, Notwithstanding it is sur
rounded with every material and
facility for their convenience and sue
, cessful operation.
The all absorbing topics, however,
are the strike and politics. The
first has In manner COM
pletely paralyzed trade for the time
being, while the latter, from the i'm
mense number Of willing patriots an
nouuced as ready to offer themse yes
1 as vicarious sacrifices on their coun.
tries altar, seems likely to paralyze
the average p lltieian and bis pet can
didate in the near future.
A heavy rain storm, accompanied
by vivid lightning and loud thunder,
passed over this section this evening
about 6 o'clock, and is hailed as the
arbinger of the close of winter, an
event which will certainly please the
heart of the farmer as the long con-
tinued severe weather has prevented
any agricultural pursuits and not a
single acre of oats has yet been sown,
which is an event almost without par
allel in the past at this season.
1t is rumored here tonight that an
attempt will be made to resume the
running of freight trains from this
point tomorrow. One thing which
gives color to the report, if indeed
it is not the foundation
for it, is the fact that the

As instance of the remarkable
pluck which develops early in some
people, it is told of Joseph DUDE, aged
thirteen, a native Russian, but who
for two years has been a resident of
Cincinnati, that he has Just paid the
entire expenses of his brother, Samuel
DUDE, aged 8 years, all the way from
Russia to this country, and that he
saved out of his earnings as an honest
bootblack and newsboy the first year
he came here, 5000. He.proposes to
educate his brother and make a great
man of him, and it is safe to say that
unless something entirely unforeseen
occurs, Joseph will accomplish his
object. Whatever may be said on
the other side Of the question, there is
no doubt that the principles of labor
which accomplishes the richest and
most fruitful results are honesty,
energy, industry and economy. With
this combination, not a man in the
country but what is richer than an
emperor, and not a lesson in life
can accomplish anything unless
built upon this foundation. Honesty
first, energy next, industry third. and
economy fourth, are the best stock In
trade that boy can have with which
o face the world, and the parent who
fails to impress this lesson upon his
son, and also upon his daughter, fails
in his duty.

DALLAS, Tex, June n To-day was the
last day of grace for trespassin. cattle in
the Indian territory, the fourth days stay
granted by the Secretary of the Interior
having expired last night. The cattle have
all been driven OF the Comanche reserva-

herds are on the territory of the Choctaws,
Cherokees, Creeks, Sewinoles and Chickar

in the dominion of the latter nation, the
governor of which, Jonas Wolf, has issued
his proclamation to the citizens of the
