CRAVING FOR A CIRCUS.
Enthusiastic Admirers of the
Arena and HippOdrOme
Yearn for q Tent
Exhibition.

The subject of offering inducements
to some first-class show to visit Sedalia,
was fully discussed Friday, by quite
a number of gentlemen, and a propO-
sition to raise funds to defray the city
and county license met with favor,
until the question arose as to what
show should have the preference,
when it was found quite a difference
of opinions existed. Finally it was
agreed that a vote should be. taken.
August Fleischmann had no pre-
ference. Ed. Marvin wanted to see
Happy Jack Lawson " with Fore
paugh. Charlie Yeater said, anything,
just so it was circus, with plenty Of
good female riders. Capt. Gilbreath
had first longed for a circus, but was
now willing to gaze on ''The Adamless
Eden" while Tom Mitchnm voted for
Madam REM Female Minstrels."
Billy Steele said, Soup Bros, circus
by all means"-evidently, with an eye
to his fee for defending Ed. Coup.

A Brave Woman.

At last the brazen-faced, swindling
lightning rod peddler has found his
match in the person of brave woman
in Benton county. This lady, 3
widow, had made contract with the
advance man for a rod to cost SIS,
but when the rod was up, the other
fellow presented bill for s45. This,
of course, surprised the lady, and she
protested against any such demand,
and stoutly affirmed that the contract
only called for SIS. The contract
being produced, it appeared that the
rod was to be put up at 81 cents per
foot, and, as the rod had been we'll
extended over the house, the whole
job footed up to $40.
1t is needless to say that the lady
was indignant, and, after st 'rming a
good deal, she went to her room and
came down with s15 and a shotgun.
She then assumed the offensive, and
made the following startling PROPOSE
ton
"Look here, sir, that lightning rod
was to be put up for sis. Here's
your money-you take that or take
down your lightning rod, or III blow
the top of your head off ]"
The lightning rod man took the s15
and made tracks as though a whole
storm was chasing him up.
All honest people in the country who
admire courage should subscribe for a
'"onument to the memory of this lady
when she comes to die. Let others of
the opposite sex initiate her example,
and the cause of honesty will prosper.

StanleY's SDeeders.

A very lively runaway occurred at
an early hour Yesterday morning.
The team attached to Stanley Bros
delivery wagon became frightened at
the noise made by the escape of steam
from the dye house adjoining and
started south at break neck rate of
speed. The frightened animals dis
tributed the wagon in sections along
Lamine street, and did not check their
speed until after running to Broadway,
from thence to Ohio street and finally
coming to a halt on Seventh street

BEASTLY BACON.
With the Somewhat Notorious
Henry Croker, He Goes
TO the County Jail. 'a

George Bacon has become quite q
noted character in Sedalia, not so
much on account of any great deeds
he has done, either good or bad, but
as a saloon bum and loafer his name
has appeared time and again in the
police court reports of the daily pa
pers. -. .aas.
Bacon, it is said, has seen better
days, in fact, was at one time possess
ed of considerable means, but those
who have knswn him during the last
few years know him only as
a hard featured, desreputable bum,
having the respect of no one, and
seemingly little respect for himself or
any one else. Strange as it may
seem, this beast, this ghoul, this
animal in the lienaments of whose
contenance, is presented the revolving
spectacal of human, and brute nature,
mingled together, has awife Of eomelY
appearance, and modest demeanor,
and who though plunged into the
very vortex of infamy during the
past few years, has managed
to earn a living for herself
and c. lldren; and for q greater part
of the time, for her worth
less husband and yet at the same time
has maintained a reputation for vir-
tue which is above reproach. Thurs
day the Infamous wretch Bacon In COM
pany with an Onery red-headed animal
by the name of w. r. Croker and
almost as onery as Bacon, proceeded
to steal feather bed from Mrs. Ba-
con which they sold for s1.S5 and
succeeded in getting gloriously drunk
on the proceeds. For this offense they
were arraig ned.beforeI Recorder Levens

ex-offico justice O. the peace, found
guilty of the charge and sentenced to
thirty days in the county jail

Lon ION Times.

Luz 'Ou Atihcs-
As gentleman, a well-known pub.
lie official was passing from ST. James
Park into Pail Mall by the garden
wall of Marlborough House, on Sat
urday last, June II, at AS o'clock
in the afternoon, he suddenly receiv-
on the right shoulder a viO-
lent blow, accompanied by a
loud cracking noise, which caused
him great pain and to stumble for
ward as he walked. On recovering
his footing aud turning round to see
who had so unceremoniously struck
him, he found that there was no
one on the pavement but himself and
the policeman on duty at the park
end of it.
On reaching home the shoulder was
submitted to examination, but moth
ing was at FIRST discovered to account
for the pain in it. But in a little while
the servant who had taken away the
coat to brush brought it back to point
out that over the right shoulder the
nap was pressed down fiat in a long,
straight line, exactly as if a hot wire
had been sharply drawn across the
cloth. The accident is therefore ex-
planned as hating been caused by the
explosion ola minute falling star or
meteor. ..sN .rf.u- rel

Otherwise, he was to be re-arresteC
and returned to the peni,entiary.
1t was further agreed that after the
escape Trix and Pool were to 90 tC
st. Louis, where they could be con
stantly communicated with by the al.
thorities at Omaha. These condition;
were complied with. Pool was placed
in an unguarded cell, overlooking the
outside walls of the penitentiary, and
was furnished with means by which
he could secure his liberty.
On a stormy Sunday night, a little
over ten years ago, he tore out the
bars which grated the cell window,
and by means of a ladder reached the
ground. Trix was waiting to receive
him with a disguise, and a carriage in
VIII ch to carry him away. The esca-
pade was entirely successful, and the
fugitives reached
ST. LOUIS IN SAFETY,
but In the meantime the Nebraska
ring had learned of the maneuvres of
the governors party, and for their
own safety determined to stir both
heaven and earth to balk it. If they
could silence Trix the affair would
come to an end. Emmissaries were
put on her track and private detect
ives hired to discover her hiding
place. They found her at last. The
prying eyes of a detective can find
anything. And now commenced
every species Of importantly and per-
suasion. Her life was threatened un-
less she surrendered the papers in her
possession. They offered marvellous
sums if she would only give up the pa
Ders and leave the country. But she
persisted in her refusal. POOLS liber-
y was worth to her more than any
hing else. She knew that if she
proved false to the authorities her |
fugitive lover would be reclaimed and |

BY HIS OWN HAND.
j. w. Hardin Dies i'm His
Own Store On West
Main Street.
Saturday Tragedy Accom-
plfshed by the Use of
Powder and Ball.

j. w. Hardin a man who is well
known, and the proprietor of small
grocery store on west Main street,
shot and killed himself yesterday,
about four o'clock p. m. He leaves a
wife and five children to mourn his
tragic and untimely end.
THE SUBJECT
of this has resided in Sedalia about
five years, and was carpenter by
trade. Since his residence here, he
has been considered an upright, in
dustrious man, with no bad habits.
Yesterday he seemed in his usual
health and attending to his regular
duties, when with no warning he
stepped behind his counter, and put
ting a revolver muzzle to the rear of
the right ear he pulled the trigger,
and in few moments the spark of
life had fled to return no more.
INSANITY.
1t is probable that Mr.. Hardin was
insane. Three years ago he was be-
reft of his reason for several days and
the county court had taken steps to
send him to the asylum, but before
the officer had arranged to escort him
to Fulton his reason returned, much |
to the joy of his family and friends,
and the trip was deferred. |
Since that time periodically, it is said,
he hes been out of his right mind.
About two weeks ago he had a J
crazy attack and it was with diff
Guilty that his wife prevented him
from taking his life. Since that time
until yesterday he has seemed to be
1nly slightly irrational at times,
but, says his sOrrowing wife to a
reporter, yesterday he did not seem
20 be of sound mind at any time"
The cause of his insanity was
wound he received during the war,
he readily seen scar he having car
led to his death.
j. W. HARDIN
vas about Al years OF age. He was
married in Blunt county, East Ten
lessee, July 5, 1868. His eldest
.hild, Andrew Hardin, aged
z years, when last heard from,
vas at Fairmore, Cass county,
UT expected to be in Clinton, Mo.
n few days enroute to Little Rock.
lie was telegraphed to yesterday at
linton, in hopes that a message
would reach him there.
Fourteen years ago Hardin left East
tennessee, and came to Clinton, Mo-,
There he lived one year. From Henry
ounty he moved to Lamonte, where
e resided two years. He then took
Ip his residence at Dresden, where he
wed about one year, and, thence to
his city.
THE FAMILY.
Mrs. Hardin, and her small chill
rem, were broken down with grief.
he latter, in most cases however,
eing too young to realize the tragic
vents of the day, and that they had
cen bereft of their protector,
nd now would soon be
the mercy of an uncharita-
lie world. "May He who tempers
he winds to the shorn lamb" remem.
er this little family and care for
hem.
Coroner Overstreet will hold an in
uest to-day which will probably not
evelop anything additional from the
acts narrated above.
The funeral will take place from /;

I'LL be conducted by Prairie Lodge {

NOT DEAD YET.

Atlanta papers are giving the public
som curious and wonderful cases that
are quite interesting. 1t seems q young
lady Of Atlanta had been reported as
dead, but 1t came to the ears of the At
lanta journal that she was still alive, and
being on the alert for news, a reporter
wal sen to the lady's residence to learn
all the facts. Miss Belle Dunaway, who
had been pronounced dead, met him at
the door. stoutly denying that she was
dead. She said:
'For four Years. rheumatism and neu-
ralgia have resisted physicians and all

The uses TO which the Great Eastern
has just been put are doubtless such as
her designer and builder never dreamed
of. She is engaged, as may be rcmem-
bered, to fill out the remainder of her
days at Gibralter as q coal hulk, and
meanwhile she has been sent from Mil
ford Haven, where she has lain for q doz
en- years, to Liverpool, in order to have
her engines lifted out. Accordingly, an
enterprising clothing establishment Of
the latter town has hired her during her
stay. a circus is to be put into one of
her big cable tanks, which is rs feet in
