A HEAVY LOSS.
Three BlOOded Colts Run Over
by the Cars.

Mr.. A. j. Elliott, residing two
miles northeast of The city, met with a
very serious loss last Wednesday
night through the carelessness of some
hunters. Mr.. Elliott is a great ad-
mirer of fine horses and devotes much
attention and care to their rearing.
As a consequence he has some Of the
finest animals In the state. Last
Wednesday evening some hunters in
passing through his place left his pas
ture gate open and three very fine an
finals got into the field adjoining the
railroad. The fence next the road
in this field has several gaps burned
in it by recent grass fires caused by
the sparks, and through one of these
gaps the animals got onto the railroad
track. The field being some distance
from the house Mr.. Elliott did not
discover the fact, and about 1870
south-bound freight train came upon
the animals, which ran to the cattle
guard where they were overtaken and
twoof them were literally chopped into
bits, their remains being scattered
along the track for one hundred yards.
The other one a very fine colt was
not killed though it was so badly
damaged as to render it practically
worthless for life. The accident de-
rallied the engine which ran nearly
one hundred yards on the ties before
it was stopped, Fortunately the ties
were all new and further disaster was
thereby prevented. The engine was
easily replaced on the track after a
short detention. Mr.. Elliott places
his loss at $1,000.

Fleming Bagged.

Sam Fleming was arrested yester-
day on a warrant charging him with
shooting at Abe Robinson with intent
to kill on last Friday.
The matter WAS mentioned at the
time in the BAzOo, the particulars be-
ing that Fleming, who is coon of no
very good repute, in company with
others attempted to whip young col
Ored girl. The girl ran to Robinson,
also cOlored, who was passing by, for
protection. Robinson told her no
one should whip her while he was
about, and she went with him. Flem-
ing followed cursing and finally drew
a revolver and fired at Robinson, the
ball passing through his coat collar.
Robinson turned upon his assailant
vino Immediately fled and has been at
large until yesterday when he was ar
rested.

WHEREIS HE 4!
A Horse Thief Taken i'm by the
Otterville Vigilants.

Otterville has an anti-horse thief as
ISOLATION which has been in working
trim for some time, laying for the
regular periodical horse thief to put
in his appearance. On the 18th he
came, at least some one came to the
farm of Kills johnson, during the
night and took from Mr.. Johnson's
barn a valuable mare. The A. II.
T. were duly notified but much to
their chagrin failed to secure any
clue to the whereabouts of the animal
or thief. Last Sunday, however, one
of the members discovered the animal
coming down the road near Otterville,
on his back was man. The man
when halted proved to be farmer
named Hunk, who resides some three
miles from Mr.. Johnson's place. Hunk
claimed to have traded for the animal
but the A. III. T. are skeptical, as they
say Hunk knew the horse was Johnsons
and could not have traded for him ig-
norantly. The animal was returned
TO Mr.. johnson and Hunk was taken
in charge by the vigilants. What
they did with him the BAzoo's infor-
mant professed not to know, but re-
marked, you can tell the horse thieves
the Otterville vigilants will treat them
all as they did Hunk if they show up

Gone to Kansas City.

John Richardson for some time has
been a farm hand in the vicinity of
Dresden, but he seems like the
knights of Labor, to have grown
tired of gaining riches by the good
old way and in his haste to gain the
coveted end forgot the Bible precepts
taught him by his mother. Last Sun
day he appropriated a violin valued
at S25 and SO in cash, all the lawful
property of his employer. With this
ill-gotten wealth he came TO Sedalia
and purchasing a ticket TO Kansas
City, took the first train to that new
Sodom, doubtless with the intent Of
investing in the soap bubble real es-
tate natural gas O. boom. Yester-
his employer also came to Sedalia and
aLxiously inquired for Richardson.
hough it was not so much Richard
son as the violin he was anxious to re-
cover. Finding his employe had
flown, the victim returned to his
home more fully convinced of the
fickleness of the biped race than ever
before.

::Analyzing the Baking Powders

Under the direction of the New
York State Board of Health, eighty
four different kinds of baking powders,
embracing all the brands that could
be found for sale in the State, were
submitted to examination and analy-
sis by Prot. G. f. Chandler, Mem
Der of the State Board and President
of the New York City Board of
Health, assisted by Prot. EDWARD q.
LOVE, the well.known late United
States GOvernm mt chemist.
The official report Slows that a
large number of the powders examined
were found to contain alum Of Ggnee
many of them to such an extent q Ito
render them seriously Objectionable for
use in the preparation of human food.
Alum was found in twenty nine
samples. This drug is employed in,
baking powders to cheaper their cost.
The presence Of lime Is attributed to-
the impure cream of tartar of com1|
merce used in their manufacture.
Such cream Of tartar was also analyz>.
ed, and found to contain lime and
other Impurities; in some samples to|
the extent of SO per cent. of their en-.
tire weight.
All the baking powders of the|
market, with the single exception of
Royal mot including the alum and
phosphate powders, which were lOngI
since discarded as unsafe or inefficient
by prudent housekeepers) are m&de
from impure cream OF tartar of com
merce, and consequently contain lime
to corresponding extent.
The only baking powder yet found
by chemical analysis to be entirely
free from lime and absolutely pure is
the Royal" This perfect purity re
suits from the exclusive use of cream
of tartar specifically refined and pre-
pared by patent processes of the N
Y. Tartar Co., which totally removes
the tartrate Of lime and other impu
rites. The cost of this chemically
pure cream of tartar is much greater
than ANY other, and on account o.
this greater cost is used in no baking
powder but the Royal"
Prof. Love, who made the analyst
of baking powders for the New \ or
State Board of Health as we'll as fol
the government, says of the pprit
and wholesomeness of ''Royal."
81 have tested package of 'Roya
Baking Powder which | purchased i
the open market, and find it compOse
of pure and wholesome ingredients
1t is a cream of tartar powder of
high degree of merit, and does no
contain either alum or phosphates q
any injurious substances.

Value of q Salesman.

"But it is in the retail clothing

of all men to whom he made sales.
A year or more later he engaged with

customers advising them of his change

specimen raised FROM the seed. Dur

sembles a fair department. Yesterday
however the daddy of all pumpkins
was brought in. 1t was a monster
weighing al pounds. The pumpkins
in outer appearance very much re-
semble the Hubbard squash as to
color, shape and roughness of skin
and are said to be of very superior
