A NATATORIUM.
A Citizen Who is DESTROYS to
Establish One I'm Sedalia.

To he Editor Of the Bazoo:
| The object of this article is to In
terest one or more capitalists to lend
their aid to erecr and establish a nata.
torium or swimming school, after the
pattern of the st. Louis natatorium,
corner Nineteenth and Pine streets.
Taken from a medical standpoint, such
an institution would prove q blessing
t. the children and ladies and gentle
men of Sedalia. No healthier exer-
else is known than swimming. Every
muscle in the body is brought into &C
ton; the body assumes a rosy,
healthy color; a s'rong appetite is the
natural consequence, and an Inclina-
ton tor robust and muscular exertion.
AS an amusement, it is not exceled
and anybody that ever W messed the
gambols, laughter and shouting of a
crowd in swi" ming need not be told
that they enjoy themselves to their
hearts content.
As an investment of capital, the
writer wishes to point to the unparal-
leIed success Of the St. Louis natato-
rum. Their stock cannot be bought
In the market.
A suitable site on one IF the by
streets, say Fourth or Fifth street,
and brick building with timber roof
slaIed, an office in front and waiting
room, then basin 100 feet long by
40 wide. dressing rooms on both sides
to accommodate 200 or 800 bathers,
steam heating pipes to keep an even
temperature for both the air and the
wat water supplied from either the
water works or we Is dug and water
pumped into a basin, b iler to supply
the proper temperature, two
electric lights over the basin
and two incandescent lights
for the Office and waiting parlors,
would about complete an elegant
swimming school. The price of admis-
sion say, % or so cents for single
baths or season tickets for $40. For
in swimming, SIS, with q
guarantee to keep the pupil till he or
she Is able to swim. Time of opening
from 6 o'clock m till 10 o'clock o.

BUSINESS AT BROWNSVILLE.
A Town With a Bright Future
The Present Outlook.

Brownsville, which is situated in
the southwest corner of Saline county,
near tie Pettis county line, is among
the most thriving towns Of Central
Missouri. Of late years il has been
made famous over the entire country
by the opening of the weet Springs,
which adjoin it, and are fast gaining a
notoriety for their wonderful sanitary
and curative properties, being un-
doubtedly second to no"e In he en-
tire country, hence they are fast max
ing it one of the most popular sum-
mer resorts between The two oceans.
Situated as Brownsville is, in the heart
of one Of the most fertile regions in
the western hemisphere, there IS no
good reason why it should not, in the
near future, become one of the most
important commercial centers in the
state, and thus add new laurels to its
gathering fame. For some years it
has been regarded as a very desirable
location for large social and state
gatherings, and during the summer
months it presents special facilities
and desirable features for this purpose.
Like most towns, however, it has for
the past few months felt the effects OF
the general stagnation of business, but
at presenttrade is reviving. with good
prosi ects for a fair spring and summer
trade.
Just now the entire community is
agitated over the proposed Missouri
Central railroad, and strenuous efforts
are being put forth to secure its locs-
ton through Brownsville. Consider
ing its central location and agricul-
tural advantages, in addition to its
numerous excellent contingent coal
veins, there is little doubt it offers
superior advant ges for another rail
road, in addition to the present Lex
ington branch. With proper and
united effort the chances are it will
secure the road and in so doing ad-
vance it to the important rank it de-
serves to occupy among the cities OF
the state. At present its population
numbers about 1,500, with probably
100 fine business establishments, con-
Quoted by as energetic and live bust
less men as can be found anywhere.
Among the most important business
marts may be mentioned the Imper-
ial -four mills of Land & Swaggard /;
the dry goods houses of w. III. God
love, A. M. Ehlers & Co., and j. l..
Conway; druggists, S. Kuntz, w. G..
Bisckner and s. Chapline; merchaD-
disc, j. T. Wilson; lumber, g. w.
Smith & Co.; groceries. L. Harms,
r E. Smith and j. E. Hooker; mil
linery, Miss Sallie Browning, ami
Jennie Achamire saddlery, Henry
Steinkuhler saloons, r. A. Blskely
and T. B. Revis; BARRIERS, j. /. White
and Gunner Bros; livery, w. G.
Workman meat market, A. j. lis
dale, and a number of others, too
numerous to mention.

man, woman and child should know
how to handle themselves in the
water. The writer had several oppor-
tunities to save the lives of human
beings by his aquatic proficiency. If
such building be commenced in the
near future it could be completed in
season for this summer. In the fail
the dressing rooms could be taken
down, put away into the empty basin,
the same covered over with flooring
and the place be used during winter
as a roller skating rink. Such a build
ing could probably be put up for $751;
600 to $4,000.

THE CITY SCHOOLS.
What the YOnng Sedalians are
Doing at Present.


The past month has been unusually
hard for schools on account of the
extremely cold weather. The attend
ance has been somewhat irregular,
many of the children having been de-
tanned at home with colds and conse-
quent ailments.
The schools this year have moved
on very pleasantly thus far, the
teachers laboring assiduously for their
success, and the pupils for the most
part taking great interest in their
studies.
Superintendent Richardson has
emphasized the more practical and
important branches and tried to make
the pupils understand thoroughly
what they go over, rather than pass
over a vast amount only partially di-
costing it.
He has set going an Instrumental
ity that bids fair to d. good work in
the way of composition and criticism.
We refer to the paper which is pub
lished monthly by the pupils of the
high school. 1t is the intention tn
publish some of the original work of
the pupils of all grades, and thus
furnish an incentive to do more and
better work in the line of ESSAYS, ora
tons, correspondence, etc.
In the Freshman class a regular
society is formed, which is differed
by the pupils and carried on by them
alone. Everything is conducted in
strictly parliamentary style, and John
Adams and Henry Clay would smile
if they could step in and hear their
own speeches reproduced with all the
modern improvements. This is all
practicable and valuable work.
The superintents table is covered
with manuscripts from the last writ
ten examinations. A large pile of
essays reveals the fact that the last
exercise in original composition was q
composition on "politeness," by the
grammar department, and a business
letter by the primary sch OILS. The
external appearance of these papers
exhibits much taste. and, we doubt
not that they could all be commended
for their internal qualities.
A fine class in bookkeeping is just
starting, also one in botany. The lat
ter is composed of the entire fresh
man class, including some eighty.
We are told that each is expected to
make an herbarium of q certain num-
Der of flowers indigenous to Pettis
county.
The Teachers Institute meets the
first Monday evening of each month,
in the senior room. This room has
been papered and improved in many
ways by the seniors and juniors, who
occupy it, and now looks quite invit-
ing.
Washington's birthday will be cele-
orated In all the schools. A beautiful
exercise for this day has been pre-
pared for the Missouri, School Journal
~ Mrs M. v. Meet, principal of the
Prospect school.
Many little appliances of different
kinds have been applied by the super
ntendent to promote the school work,
Ind the schools bear the impress of
successful labor.
