EDITOR TINES 1T is very amusing to me
to sec the manner in which few Of the SO.
called COOL Republicans Of this county are
trucking 10 the Democratic bosses, for the
purpose Of getting few votes this Fall. 1t
is also very humiliatng 10 think that there
are such men in our party. Do they who are
office seekers think that they will gain any
thing Ivy going back on their Republican
friends? If they do they will be sadly mis-
taken. The Republican party is strong
enough in this county 10 elect its own men,
and the seekers for public favors in our party
who think they have the vote solid, and are
now after Democratic votes, will be liable
to get left. They are many besides my.
self who have been watching the course
things have been taking. and we will not
stand in for those who are against US and so
TO Democrslic headquarters for their advice.
l am glad TO see the stand the TINES is TAX
ing and those who are trying 10 make little
Of its course are not aware of what they are
doing. Let Republicans stand in for their
own paper, Democratic sheet can do them
no good. REPUBLICAN.

Deserved Credit.

Rev. Boon fthe M. E. church South,
deserves great credit for the enterprise
which he displayed in securing Sam
Jones and Sam Small to address
Sedalia people last Friday night, and
all will be glad to learn that the par
sonage fund has been added to in the
neat sum of $3.50, which will about
pay the entire debt upon it. In this
connection it will be well to state that
a mistaken idea has gone abroad that
the park managers induced Mr.. Jones
and Mr.. Small to come here, but this
result was solely due to the efforts of
Mr.. Boone, and, as was said above,
to him all credit was due. The park
managers, however, very kindly do
mated the use of their beautiful park,
and for this deserve the thanks which
the church so willingly accord them.

AN ATTACK FROM AMBUSH.
A Missouri Pacific Passenger
Train Fired Into by Un-
known Parties.

From the trainmen and passengers
who came in on the Missouri Pacific
passenger train yesterday afternoon, a
BAzoo reporter learned that at Allen
ton, small station five or six miles
East of Pacific, the tr ain was fired
into by unknowa parties. Two shots
were fired into the chair car and two
struck the mail car, all, however, for
tunately doing no damage. A heavy
piece of iron was also thrown through
the window of the chair car and
bounding back from the OPP
posite side of the car and
struck passenger on the
head, inficting an ugly looking cash,
but a by no means serious wound.
Had the wicked missile struck any
one at the point it entered the car
with full force, it would have doubt
less produced instant death.
This train does not stop at AL
lenton land the train men have not the
slightest idea who the would be MUIR
derers can be.

SLICK SHARPERS.
Two of Them Following the Sam
Jones Camp Meeting Work an
Old Man For $500.

From a gentleman fully conversant
with the facts, and who was in the
city yesterday. A BAzoo reporter
learned of a very slick confidence
game, played on an old farmer BY the
name of Fickus, residing near War
rensburg. These confidence men
have been in constant attendance
upon the Sam Jones camp meetings,
and pretended to be very devoted
christians. They visited the farm of
old man Fickus, and after remaining
there short time, made proposition
to buy the farm, offering s10,-
900 for it The trade was
supposed to have been duly
consumnated aud the bogus purchasers
talked loudly of being able to pay
spot cash. Mr.. Fickus said that part
cash and good securitv for the balance
would be satisfactory to him, but the
strangers said no, they did not do
business in this way and would pay
the cash. They remained with the
ODD gentleman for several days and
made him actually believe that they
were bonafide purchasers of the farm
and would pay the sum agreed upon
as soon as all of the necessary pre-
liminaries were concluded.
Finally Mr.. Fickus and his new &C
quaintances started to Warrensburg,
ostensibly 10 close the trade. By the
roadside on the way a wheel of for
tune man was encountered, eagerly
waiting for the unwary pilgrim. One
of the purchasers of the Fickus farm,
Notwithstanding his alleged religious
proclivities, proceeded to try his for
tunes ON the wheel, and in a very
short space of time came out appar-
emily 81, 800 ahead. The party then
drove on to Warrensburg. Arriving
there, the partner of "the lucky chris.
tian" who had "done" the wheel of
fortune man to the tune of the hand
some sum of 81, 500, approached old
man Fickus for loan of that amount,
stating that he had paper which he
could not realize on just at the time,
etc., and that he would return the
money when the sale of the
farm was concluded. The con-
iding old gentleman, who is 80
years of age and evidently needs

a telephone communication with this city
from 1amante is meeting with very hearty

A SUDDEN DEATH.
The Father of Professor G. w.
Robbins, Of Sedalia, Drops
Dead i'm Kansas City.

Wednesdays kilograms from Kan
sas City briefly announced that at a
late hour that evening a stonemason
from Sedalia named VIM. Robbins
had dropped dead on the streets of
that town while endeavoring to sep
arate his son and a man named Peck,
who were engaged in fight.
Later developments and inquiry
however, show that the Kansas City
news gatherers while correct as to the
death were wide Of the mark as to the
identity of the victim, he being not
stonemason but a retired farmer and
the father of C.. w. Robbins, the
well-known manager of the Central
Business College of this city and with
whom both Mr.. Robbins and his wife
have for some time made their home.
Mr.. Wyckoff Robbins has for several
years been troubled with heart disease
and realizing that his end was near he
decided last week to start for final
visit TO his children of whom
there are six all of whom
are between Sedalia and the Pacific
coast. Last Friday he went to Kan
sas City to see his son-in-law and
daughter, Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Rob
bins, and was accompanied by his
wife, their intention being after few
days visit there to 60 on west. Mr..
VIM. Robbins is stonemasOn by
trade, and on Wednesday evening
while standing at his gate with a
group of fellow-workmen somewhat
animated discussion arose among
them, and Mr.. Robbins hearing it,
came out also. He told the men TO
be quiet, and after standing few
minutes said to one of them, "help
me to the house, / am so sick" He
was at once assisted toward the
house, and on reaching it asked to be
allowed to sit on the steps outside.
After he sat down he never spoke,
but died in about half an hour. His
son In this city was Immediately tele-
graphed to to come to Kansas Oity,
as his father was very i'll, and he left
on the morning train.
Professor Robbins returned home
yesterday morning and the remains
of his father will arrive to-day and
will be inferred direct from the depot,
Rev. Davis, of the Christian church,
officiating. Mr.. Robbins was a ma
tive of New Jersey, where he was
born in 1920, and is consequently sc
years old. He removed to Illinois in
1917 and from thence to Missouri in
1881 where he has since resided. He
Joined the Ohio street M. + church
in 1884 and has ever since been a
professed and consistent christian.
He has ever been a kind and indulg-
ent father and husband, a good citi-
zen and a business man. He dies
after long career of usefulness and
leaves behind a progeny noted for
their thrift and good citizenship.

Mr.. Ingram and the Clarkship.

Hur. INGRAM anu inc OAerNA01p.
Editor Bdzoo:
My attention was some days agod
called to an interview published In
the Democrat" Of recent date pur-
porting to contain certain statements,
of deputy assessor, with reference to
the candidacy of B. II. Ingram for
clerk of the circuit court. and as to his
support in Smithton and Lake Creek
township.
The democrat must be pretty hard
up for reliable information when it
goes to a man of the high standing
and reputation of your fellow towns
man, III. r. Dobbins, to obtain it.
In that interview this truthful gen.
tleman, Mr.. Dobbins, is made to say
that he assessed the whole of those
two townships and that he asked
every man whom he assessed, demo-
crat and republican, for whom he in
tended to vote for circuit clerk and
he found mary one" who was go
ing to vote for Ingram.
| simply wish to state that / am one
of the citizens of Smithton township,
whom Mr.. DObbirs assessed, and so
far as | am concerned, and so far as l
have been able to learn from inquiry,
Mr.. DObbins statement is wholly
false.
l am a republican, and as the re-
publican party has no candidate for
that Office am glad of the Opportu-
nifty to vote for Mr.. Ingram, but what
is more, | am glad to know TO a GER
tainty that the republicans of these
two townships mentioned, being thus
free to choose between Mr. Ingram anG'
Mr.. Fowler, will, almost to a man
vote for Mr.. Ingram. And / believe
there are many democrats in those
townships who propose this year to
vote for MEN for nOn-political Offices.
And to me it seems plainly the
duty of every republican to vote for
Mr.. Ingram both from party stand
point and from the high standpoint of
good citizens.
From party standpoint why should
any republican desire to see Mr.. In
gram defeated? As matters now
stand whatever steps may be taken in
the future Ingram's defeat means the
success of the democratic nominee,
Mr.. Fowler.
He is very poor republican who
wants to see the democratic ticket
successful.
And from the higher standpoint of
good citizenship why should not
every republican vote for him?
AS man Mr.. Ingram is honorable
and reliable. No man has a higher
record in all those qualities which 60
to make up the thoroughly good citi-
zen. As an officer he is laborious,
courteous and entirely impartial. AS
for his qualifications / scarcely need
speak. Pettis county never had and
never will have better clerk.

A Mean Steal.

This spring Herman Schmidt, the
saloon keeper on the corner of Pettis
aud Moniteau streets, sent to New
Jersey for some brahma chicken eggs.
In due time a setting arrived and was
Matched, and since then Mr.. Scmidt
has spent his time trying to care for
his priced chickens, which were beau
ties. Out of the lot he managed to
raise four to the point of young hem
dom, and they were the pride of
his heart. Friday night, however,
some thief internal slipped into his
coops and carried off his brahmas.
MIR. Schmidt offers So reward for the
chickens and 81 more for the capture
of the thief.

A. r. Wilber's Madison Square

spoken of as being frst-class in every

crowded houses last week in Kansas
City and was highly spoken of by the
press. They well deserve the patron

they will have good houses.
