Sedalia Light Guards.

The new military company, the
Sedalia light guards, perfected an or
ganization last night by the election
of the following civil officers Presi-
dent-A. w. Stevenson First Vice
President-Hanley Pilkington; Sec
ond Vice President-Charles Dexter ;
Secretary G. S. Byler; Treasurer
w. H. Powell, Jr.; Chaplain and
Drum Major-Dr. Edmondson.
The company starts out under the
most favorable circumstances and
numbers in it ranks some of the best
young men in the city, and it is to be
hoped that it will meet with the
hearty cooperation and support of
every good citizen as nothing can add
more TO the credit and safety of any
town the size of Sedalia than a good
military company.

Anti Prohibition.

PhillipsStock, secretary st. Louis
Brewers Association, has issued a cir
cular calling for petitions against the
submission of a prohibition amend
ment in which among other things he
says:
1T behOOves all who are opposed to
prohibition to be up and doing. One
must not wait for another, but each
must work as though his liberties de-
pended upon his own industry and
vigilance. Let such weighty peti-
tons 90 to the legislature as will not
only Overbalance those of the prohibi-
tiOnists, but as will make their cause
hopeless in the state. 1t is follv to
hope to settle In any other way. To
submit the question and vote
it down would not settle it.
On the contrary, it would
but encourage the prOhibitionists to
renewed efforts to have it again SUBJ
mitted, as under the constitution
might be done at the very next cleo
ton. If you would not be crushed
under the iron wheel of this jugger-
nuant of fanaticism-tO give place to
the skulking, dishonest dealer in pro-
hibitiOn drug whisky you must fight,
and fghthow, and in the only way that
can be effective, by procuring to the
petitions 1 have sent you as many
signatures as. possible, to be laid
before the next session of the legis-
lature."

The Trades Procession.

The committee On the trades pro-
cession is meeting with abundant sue
cess in their efforts, and the number
of floats already guaranteed exceeds
the number of any previous display
ever given. East Sedalia alone has
agreed to furnish seventy-eight, and
as yet but few of the down town mer-
chants have been called upon. The
Missouri Pacific, NJ, X. q T., Lex
ington and Narrow Gauge railroads
will be requested to furnish float
each, and a number Of st. Louis firms
have signifed their intention of being
represented in the grand display. This
is as it should be, and every citizen of
Sedalia should lend bis aid to make
the grand trades display one which
will be a credit to the state as well as
the city. Efforts will be made to in
duce Kansas City, st. 10, Hannibal,
Clinton and other cities to have at
least one float to represent them in the
grand array, and it is to be hoped they
will avail themselves Of the oppor-
tunity.
