DOwler's Designs.

Major DOwler, late superintendent
OF the Sedal;a driving ark, will leave
about the middle of the week for ST.
Louis for a two weeks visit, after
which he will go to Texas to take
charge of a ranch.
Mr.. Dowler, during his residence in
Sedalia has made many warm friends
by his uniform kindness and gentle
manly bearing who, while regretting
his departure will wish him abundant
success in his new field. He will be
accompanied by his son Fred, who has
also won many friends and well-wisb.
ers in Sedalia, especially among the
susceptible young ladies, and it is
therefore unn' "essary to add that he
will be even more missed by some
than his honored father. He is a
good boy, however, and may live long
enough to pay many visits to the flu
ture capital in the coming years, and
ne will always find welcome.

P0LLY'S PLEADINGS.
How a Loving Wife EndeayOred
to Rescue a Worthless
Husband.

Polly is not a pOetical name. II
does not suggest, art. and music and
literature, but, yesterday a true
woman bearing this rather homely
cognomen, exhibited a degree of fort.
tude and true womanly courage that
is rarely equalled and seldom wit
messed. Her husband, a skilfull
mechanic, and a good citizen when he
is sober, has of late years been
descending lower and lower in
the scale of moral degradation, caused
by a too free use of whisky. Yester-
day he was drunk as usual. and in
company with bum who makes it a
business to lay for uniortuDates of this
kind, was taking in the town. His un-
happy wife did not desire
to make a scene by accosting
him at a saloon, but patiently
following him from place to place, en-.
deavOring 10 induce him to 90 home.
She pleaded with the drunken brute
tenderly and earnestly, but the
drunken bum still hung ON and en-.
deavored to counteract all the efforts
being made by the pleading wife. |
She had him safely in charge and was
ON her way home with him, when the
wretch, who had been a par.
asite on the drunken man all of the
afternoon, walked up on the other
'ide from his wife, and endeavored to
ERIK the drunken man away from her.
Then it was that all the ire in the
olucky little woman was called forth,
md raising her umbrella she made
such a vigorous onslaught upon the
lirty cur who had been attempting to
axe her husband away from her, that

MRS. HEINRICH'S HORROR.
Caused by the Burning of Her
Home, Gives Her a
Severe Shock.

About $50 o'clock Yesterday
morning, an alarm of fire was sound
ed occasioned by flames issuing from
the residence of Henry j. Heinrichs,
a two story frame building located
on the cerner of Fourteenth and
Usage streets. The fire department
turned out promptly and arrived on
the scene in time, to preserve the
building intact and with Comparatively
slight damages, the ceiling in the
kitchen being burned and the upper
story somewhat injured. The fire
was caused by a defective fue. The
damage amounts to about $3.50, which
is fully covered by insurance in the
agency of Capt. w. F. Henry.
The fright and excitement produced
by the fire, caused Mrs. Heinrichs to
faint, and for some time she was in
an insensible, and it was feared by
her frienGs, a dangerous condition.

Vandalism,

the angriest men in the district YES.
terday. and not without reason. He
early this spring put in a fine melon
patch which has received his constant
care. During the dry spell he hauled
water to prevent damage to it by the
drought, and as a consequence his
prospects were for as fine a lot of
melons as could be desired. Yester.
day, however, some town hoodlums
stole into his patch, and after filling
themselves to their hearts content. thew
proceeded to cut to pieces the vines
and melons in the entire patch.
About the time they had completed
their work of vandalism. Mr.. Dawson
discovered them, but was unable to
latch them, though he chased them
almost to town. Such bows are sure
n the end to become recruits for the |
'enitentiary.

ma Davis entered a grocery store near Cy-
press yards, Armstrong, and after remain
ing near'the show case a few minutes, walk
ed into an adjoining rooY., closed the door

was heard they ran into the room to inves-
tigate the cause of the shooting. They
found the woman lying upon the floor with
blood flowing from bullet hole in her
temple. She was unconscious and breath
ing heavily, but the course of the bullet
showed that the wound was a fatal one.
She was removed home where she died an
hour or two later. The coroner was mott
he'd and held an inquest, and the Jury re-
turned verdict of death by suicide.
Emma Davis was the wife of a colored
professor, and it is said that domestic
trouble was the cause of her death. A few
