KELLY KICKS.
He Says He is Not Guilty of Sc
ductiOn and Has Been
& Wrongly Accused.

= w. T. Kelly, the country sehool
teacher whose certificate was revoked
some ten days ago by County Super
intendent Scotch. because of charges
of immortality, was in the city Fri
day, and in conversation with two of
bis old associates, late m. mbers of
the Sedalia bali club, denied that he
was utility MS charged.
1t viii. be remembered that Kelly's
alleged shortcomings were first ventil-
ated a week a o last Friday by the
Lamonte Record, it being alleged that
he had sedueed young girl named
Mary g. Barbia, who had been in the
employ Of his f mily, and as the re-
suit of her-downfall she gave birth
10 twins short time ago. Ii was
claimed that she fe i soon after enter
ing Kelly's employ, and when he was
charged with being the father of. the
children he did not deny it.
''No, sir. L sm not guilty." said
Kelly. W bile discussing the unfor-
tunate affair WI b the two friends re-
ferred to. 81 have been wrongly ac-
cused, and IN proof of it I have the
girls retraction, taken in the presence
of two reputable witnesses.
The BAzoo has made no inquiry
whatever regarding the case, but it is
hardly probable that Superintendent
Scotch would revoke Kelly's certif
cate before a thorough investigation
was had.

Frank James Purchase.

Frank James, the former terror of
timid Missourians, but for some
months only an ordinary resident of
Nevada, Vernon county, has evinently
made up his mind to make that place
his home, ju ging from the following
paragraph from the Nevada Mail of
yesterday: Crank James purchased
to-day from the trustees of The M. E.
church, south, the parsonage on South
Cedar street, paying 81 200"

Changed the Name.

There was an election yesterday.
This fact will be news to many of the
BAzoo readers. The directors of what
was known as the ''Sedalia industrial
and Art Exposition association" had
become dissatisfied with the name and
vest rday voted to change it to that
of the Missouri State Fair. The cleo
ton was very quiet one and took
place in the city registers office, At
the close of the polls at noon the vote
stood ll6 in favor and none against.
The name will, consequently, be
changed as proposed.

Robbing the Poor.

After the banquet given by the A.
o. u. w. lodges in this city Friday
night at Sicher's park, it was found
that there was a Mrge amount of pro-
visions left, such as fowls, bread,
cakes, pies, etc., and it was decided
that they could not be put to a better
purpose than to give them to the poor.
This was the intention, and Mr..
Kelly, sanitary and charity officer,
was given permission to take the
remnants of the feast and distribute
them to the deserving poor. Yester-
day morning he went out to the park
to get the things, but found that some
had anticipated. him and
stolen the major portion of what was
left. The thief must have gotten a
good doodle, as it is known that there
were seventeen hams, a large lot of
geese and turkeys which had
not been touched. The thief, who
ever he is, is evidently some person
of diseernment, as he did not touch
any of the remnants. Mr. Kelly
picked up what there was left, and
yesterday distributed 1t among the
poor. - - : -i'la 800 p

Arrested at the Knobs.

Marshal Barnett yesterday re-
ceived letter from Mayor Workman,
of Knob Noster, stating that the
chief of police at that place had
brought before his honor man whom
he suspected was the one who at
tempted to rape the little fve-year-
old girl in Sedalia, and requested
Marshal Barnett to answer by tele-
graph his intention of bringing him
to Sedalia. After due deliberation
the marshal concluded to drop the
matter, as the man could not be iden-
titled even if guilty.

Still Has the Cup.

Mrs. Cora Palmer, the colored
woman referred by the BAzoo as
having in her possession q silver cup,
presented to the late Rev. Lawton by
his flock in st. Louis, still has it
in her keeping, and proposes retaining
1t. She says the cup was presented to
her by Mr.. Lawton, two weeks before
he was taken i'll, in the presence of
Mr.. and Mrs. Flynn. and as she was
engaged to be married to The donor,
she has more right to it than anyone
else, hence will not return it to Rev.
Lawton's SONS. Those who assert that
she took the cup without Mr.. Law
toms permission are falsefers, she

Further Damaging Statements
- Regarding Riley BOyd's
rs Character. ." '.''

j. Riley Boyd has not yet taken his
departure, and it was suggested yes
terday by a leading citiz. n that del
egation of fifteen or twenty business
men call upon him at his abiding
place on Fourteenth street and escort
him TO the depot, with view of hav-
ing him make himself scarce. in this
community. During the forenoon
Boyd was airing himself on Ohio
street, aud for several minu IS occu-
pied position in front of Fleisch-
mans drug store. A BAzoO reporter
soon recognized him and he was
pointed out to several people. Finally
he seemed to realize that he was rec
ognized, and hurriedly departed.
That Boyd stands no better at home
than in Seddlia Is atteste bv the fol-
lowing publica ion in the Standard,
published at Paducah, KY:
"Inasmucb as, Mr.. Riley Boyd,
now of Sedalia, Mo-, has seen fit, in a
card in the ST Louis Republican, to
bring the names of several of Pa
ducaRs citizens to bear in his justifi-
cation, the editor Of the Standard
among the number, it seems fitting
that tbs card should be answered,
and many of his mistatemen recti-
fed. Solar as we know there is no
disposition to bring against him any
charges Of the old and half-forgotten
crime or indiseretion (Which ever it
may be calleG) OF long ago. He was
adjudged not guilty by jury of his
peers, and private opinion is, as
usual in such cases, varied. Had
Mr.. Boyds subsequent actions beeu
such as to justify the hope and expec-
tatiOns of friends, there would be
none in Paducah who would not lend !
him helping hand in his honest en-
deavors to rise in political honnrs.
His drunken debauch at the capital,
after his solemn promise never again
to be guilty of intoxicaiion, his
attack upon a
gentleman of twice his years, caused
many of his former warm friends and !
to turn their backs upon
him. And, lastly, his brutal treat
ment and cruel neglect of a lady, who
if SHINING at all, was in her idolatrous
for a man who proved
himself an arrant knave, if not worse,
is too fresh in the minds of Paducahns
to warrant him in calling up past rec
as present indorse-
ments. Taking the characters. side
by side, the girl who now sleeps quiet
" in Mount Kenton, and the |. agger-
ing bravado, who tempted to cast
aspersions upon the memory of one
who should have been dearer to him
han life itself-taking these charac-
ters side by side We say it does not re-
.uire discriminating mind to say
xhs made false statements and who
'poke the truth. Lucy Grimes faults,
they were, will be charitabIy
aid by the side of her dead Iody, but
hose of her husband will live forever

elbow citizens"
