Have They Knocked Him Out.

EDS. RECoRD-UNIoN: l notice daily re-
ports in your journal and others of the
progress of the political campaign in va
rious parts of the State, and have read of
the speeches made by the several orators
on either side. But thus far l have failed
to see any report of a speech made by Sen
ator Patrick Reddy in favor of either Mr..
Bartlett or the Democratic ticket, although
heretofore he has always been ready to
aid his party with his e~loquence and per-
sonal influence. Can it be that the stab
given him by the Democratic boss was so
severe as to lay him up for the campaign?

A Bad Beginning.

One of the worst cases of precocious
depravity lately developed, is that Of
a 7.yesr-old son of a resident of the
northwestern portion of the city, whose
narne is withheld by request.
The juvenile in question yesterday
appropriated s25 of his fathers mon
ey, and in company with several 9th
er juveniles, started out for a lark.
When the money was missed and the
boys overhanled about 81 had been
disposed of for such things as boyish
fancy might dictate, but the balance
was recovered
The little fellow did not seem to re-
alize that he had done anything at all
wrong, and as his parents are very re-
spectacle people, it is to be hoped he
will be taught better in the future.

Her Unfortunate and I'm

A Little Girl Eats a Number of
Morphine Pills, BY Mis-
take.

P. g. Wilburn resides about ten
miles northeast of the city, and is a
farmer by occupation. Yesterday he
was In the city on very sad errand,
the purchase of a casket for his little
5-year-old daughter. Death, under
ordinary circumstances, when those
we love are taken from us by the grim
monster, is terrible enough, but does
not harrow the feelings and cause
the wild grief as does a case of this
nature.
On the sewing machine was a box
of morphine pills. The little one
while playing around the room dis
covered this box, and, as is the ma
ture of children, appropriatedit to her
own use. She ate about one-half the
contents of the box, which was suffi.
Gent to kill the strongest man. The
little girl in her innocent prattle, told
her mother that she had been eating
the deadly pills. To the horror of the
mother IL was ascertained that the
statement of the little one
was only too true. Her agon-
lied parents at once placed
her Ia wagon and started
with her to Sedalia for the purpose of
procuring medical aid. When about
two and half miles from the resi-
dence of Mr.. Willburn the poor little
girl went to sleep, and all efforts to
resusitate her proved unavailing.
Stopping Eat the residence ef a

A BIG SUIT.
X. III. Drew Wants Blood Money
for the Whisky Sold his
Son.

At the last term of the criminal
court r. w. Drew entered several
complaints against j. NJ. Robb for hav-
ing sold liquor to his son r. j. Drew,
minor, and for allowing the said son
to play pool in his Robbs, saloon. Sew
eral of the indictments were made>t0
stick and Mr.. Robb was pretty heayi-
ly fined. 1t was generally supposed
that this was the end of the matter as
not only Drew himself but his SON
were considered hard drinkers and
pretty hard citizens by most people,
1t seems, however, such was not the
case as Drew senior Immediately pre-
pared to bring civil action against
Robb and his bondsmen under the
statute allowing the parent or gaur-
dian of minor to recover $50 from
any person selling or giving to such
minor any intoxicating liquor without
the written consent of the parent or
guardian. The papers were very vol
luminous and circuit clerk Ingram de-
clined to copy them without the fees
In advance. Thus matters have laid
in allegiance from last MAY until yes
terday, when Mr.. Drew showed up and
handing the circuit clerk So, demand
ed that he proceed to make out the
necessary papers, which was done.
The suit embraces sixteen different
counts, and If Mr.. Drew can make
them stick. he will realize $500, be-
sides multcing the defendants in a
large amount of costs. The suit is
brought against John NJ. Robb, as
principal. and Louis Deutsch and
Charles Keiffer as his bondsman. 1t
is the first case of the kind ever
brought in Sedalia and will, therefore,
excite considerable interest.

A BOILER BURSTS,
Causing Some Destruction of
Property, But Fortunately
No Loss of Life.

1t vas reported on the streets yes
terday morning that boiler had ex.
ploded at the slaughter house of Mr..
Hilderbrandt, killing two men and
doing considerable damage. A BAzoo
reporter at one visited the scene of &C.
cident, about a mile and half north
west Of the city, on the Georgetown
road, where he learned that terrific
explosion had taken place, but that
fortunately, and Almost miraculously,
it may be said, no one was injured.
The slaughter house of Mr.. Hilder-
brandt is small frame structure, 10
Gated in the rear of his residence, a
neat and cemmodious two story frame
honse. Some time during the fore
noon steam was gotten up in the boil
er, small upright one. for the pur-
pose of boiling lot of bones. Very
little steam was required, and hence
Mr.. Hilderbrandt says the gauge only
registered sixty pounds when they left
the building, going in the direction of
the house. When they were scarcely
twenty feet distant loud
explosion occurred, and the
air for a moment was filled with the
flying debris. The boiler was located
on a stone foundation, and these
stones were lifted skyward and show
cred around promiscously, one of
them weighing about 200 pounds,
alighting fully fifty feet from the
building.
As stated, Mr.. Hilderdrandt and
his companion fortunately escaped
without the slightest injury, making
excellent time towards the house.
Investigation showed that the boiler
was moved in an easterly direction
about 10 feet, the south end of the
building, being a confused mass of
ruins, the only thing remaining intact
being the large kettle of bones, which
emitted an Odor sufficient to remind
visitors that they were in the vicinity
of slaughter house.

ignorance, cold water was introduced

Meeting of the Sedalja Improve
ment Company at Woods
Hall Last Evening.
Our Mineral Resources, Natural
Gas and Other Enter
prises.

AN aOJOuroQ mee1ng VI Tue Ctua
liza Improvement company was held
at Woods hall last evening. DR.. II
B. Scott, the president, occupied the
chair, and Mr.. John B. Jaynes Off
ciated as secretary.
The minutes of the last meeting
were read and approved, after which
Dr.. White, of Lamonte, addressed the
meeting at some length on the sub
ject of
NATURAL GAS
and the great benefit which is to be
derived wherever it can be utilized.
The great question of the present day,
said the speaker, is cheap fuel and
railroad facilities. There is,
he thinks, little doubt but
that this natural gas exists in this vi
cinity in copious quantities and can be
procured at a comparatively slight ex.
pense. Not only this, but there are in
bis opinion unexhaustible veins of
coal which can be mined successfully,
that is at profit to those investing
their money in the enterprise by en-
ploying this natural gas. As an illus
tration he cited Allegheny, Pa, where
it has been estimated by experts that
there is at least sixty million bushels of
coal, which is not now employing an
immense force of men in mining it on
account of the absence of the natural
gas. Wherever there is found a sup
ply of this gas, there
MANUFACTURES WILL LOCATE.
The speaker, at some length, pro-
ceeded to give his experience of the
discovery and the operation of natural
gas.
In response to a question by Major
Morey he stated that the discovery of
natural gas would be of much more
value than coal oil, because he did not
think it possible for anybody to COM
pete with the Standard Oil COM
pany. Without wishing any
harm to the gas company, he be.
ieved that with natural gas citizens
can furnish their own gas and oil at
a merely nominal figure.
Mr.. Slurventant, who was formerly
engaged in the oil business in Penn
sylvania, supplemented the remarks
of DIR. White with some very practi-
cal information.
DIR. White was very certain that,
if natural gas can be obtained, man
ufactories will be secured for Sedalia
without difficulty.
After quite lengthy and interest
ing discussion on this subject, the
ARTICLES OF incorporation
Of the Sedalia Improvement Company
were read by Mr.. ]. G. Mclaughlin,
and number of additional shares of
stock were subscribed.
All of the gentlemen present repre-
senting the capital and the most re-
spectacle business enterprises of the
city, seemed thoroughly in earnest
and determined to push every enter
prise which will rebound to the pros
perity of Sedalia.
After an interesting discussion on
some other matters, which it is deemed
nexpedient to make public at this time,
The meeting adjourned.
