A Call More.

The BAzoo is requested by num-
Der of citizens to say that they would
be more than pleased to have Col Z.
c. More deliver an address in this
city at the earliest practicable date.
The colonel has many warm friends
and supporters here and they feel that
his presence in the county and city
would add materially to his strength
among those who are not acquainted
with him. If Col. More can spare a
few days in the county or even one
day in Sedalia, the BAzoo most hearth
ly seconds the suggestion of his com.
ing and trusts he will fix date SO
that it may be properly made known.

PRAYER for Rain.

MANY persons about town for some
time have been discussing the pro-
priety OF petitioning the ministers, OF
the city to unite and call a series OF
union meetings, for the purpose of
praying for rain, and yesterday a reg
ular petition was in circulation for
signers with that view In end.
That such prayer properly offered
with due faith and unity would prove
efficacious few christians will doubt,
and in any event such a step would
be conductive of good to many who
otherwise may never be reached by
the influence Of prayer. But from
indications tonight the chances are
the petition will be sufficient to bring
the rain,

A False Report.

Shortly after noon yesterday the
whole community was thrown into a
state of sadness and excitement by a
report that Mr.. Levi McVey had been
killed by an engine while switching in
the yards, and no end of sympathy
and kind words were said on all sides
of the supposed deceasd. A BAzoo
scribe at once visited the yards where
he was pleased to meet Mr.. McVey
hearty and well and hard at work.
When told of the rumor Mr.. McVey
smiled and said, "tell my friends if L
am killed | have notyet found it out. "
Mr.. McVey is the Oldest and most
popular employee in the yards and
his hundreds of friends drew a long
breath of relief when they learned
that the cruel story was caDard.

Wanted to Die.

From passengers who came in from
the west, the BAzoo learns that quite
a sensation occurred at A'chison just
before the train left that place. An
unknown man shabbily dressed and
evidently tired of the Bullets of this
cold world, sprang into the river from
the Atchison bridge with suicidal in
tent, and but for the aid of parties who
happened to be out in skiffs he would
have drowned. They however fished
him out in condition not at all sug-
gestive of drouth, and conveyed him
to the shore where he was taken charge
of by the police who conveyed him TO
the lookup. The unfortunate fellow
declined to answer any questions IN
regard to his identity or the cause
which led him to the foolish act. He
is believed to be of unsOund mind.

Matrimonial.
known.

Jefferson Moore and Annie &.
O'Bannion aged respectively 5S and
SO years, were united in marriage at
the court house yesterday by Justice
Hals,ead. After the ceremony was
performed, Deputy Sheriff Bowers
arrested Judge Halstead for infring-
ing upon the recognized rights of the
court house habitues and he was taken
before Probate Judge ORear. who,
after hearing the case, decided that he
would have to stand the treats in
spite Of the fact that it was proven
that Mrs. O'Bannion had sent for the
squire and on his arrival had said
that she did so because she was an
old friend of hers" The squire, after
due deliberatiOn, concluded not to
appeal his case and was conducted by
the sheriff to Hickman d Teubner's,
where he purchased for 81, one of
their mammoth melons off ice, which
was conveyed to the court house and
devoured by the hungry officials and
their friends.

The Telephone.

The Lamonte and Sedaiia tele-
phone company say that they will
open for business September lst. A
contract has been made with Mr..
Baker, of the Sedalia telephone sys-
tenn, and the Lamonte wires will be
connected with the central office in
this city and through it with the entire
system. Mr.. Baker states that mea-
sures are now on foot for connecting
by telephone with Brownsville and
Sweet Springs, and also with Green
ridge, and that he believes before win
ter sets sn Sedalia will have such con-
nections completed. Such move is
undoubtedly an important one and its
completion would prove of great ben
eft. Another line to Boonville on
the Missouri river and another east to
Upton and Versailles would also be a
great advantage and ought to be
made paying investment.

ATTEMPTED Robbery.

= Tuesday night shortly after mid
night, officer Fifer, who had just re-
turned home, was startled by screams
issuing from the house ofJack Barnes,
next door. Running out into the
ward, Mr.. Fifer failed 10 find anything
wrong, and as the screams had ceased,
went back into the house and retired.
About 2 p. m. yesterday morning he
was again reused and going to Mr..
Barnes house was informed by Mrs.
Barnes that two men had appeared at
the window Of her bedroom, one
of whom wore mask, and
with a syringe squirted some
thing into her face through the
window which smelled very bad and
awoke her. The closest search failed
to reveal any clue of the whereabouts
or identity of the intruders, but the
smell in the room indicated chloro-
form. Mr.. Barnes is a blind man
and few days since received sl25
which had been raised by subscription
for him and had the money in the
house. 1t is believed that this fact
was known to the miscreants and that
their object was robbery. This sup.
position is confirmed by the fact that
a red bird which hung on the porch in
a cage was taken off by them. The
police are making every effort to dis
cover the perpetrators as they feel
very indignant that anyone should be
allowed to run at large who is mean
enough to steal from a blind man.

The wedding of r. A. Cox and

Scarlet Fever at Sedalia.

In addition to other affections. Sc
dalia, Pettis county, Missouri, is hav-
ing an epidemic of scarlet fever, a
disease that is fearful in its nature,
the effects of bed case OF it frequent
ly lasting the victim through life.
The Sedalia papers have kept very
shaky about the existence, but the
fever is raging there, and they will
not attempt to deny it. So far no
deaths have occurred, but the disease
is spreading and assuming a more
dangerous phase. The information
obtained by the Tribune reporter in
regard to the above is absolutely reli-
able.
The above from the Jefferson City
Tribune. shows to what lengths the
city of ruins will go to down Its pro-
gressive neighbor, Sedalia. 1t is
hardly necessary to say that the
above is a wiIlful and malicious lie
and if there has been a case OF
scarlet fever in the city nobody has
heard of it. The Tribune has merely
been sold for about the one hundredth
time and It's reliable informant Is
having a laugh at its own expense.

death while braking on his train at
Monroe Station at an early hour yes

fell from the caboOse to the ground
while the train was in motion, badly
spraining his left ankle ami back. He
was brought to this city and taken to
the hospital for medical treatment,
where 1t was found that his injuries,
though painful, were not dangerous.
His father, DIR" A. V. Small, stated
to BAzoo reporter last evening that
he thought Ernest would be able to
be out again in a few days.

The Art of Pitching.

The most important player in n nine
is the pitcher. He has studied the ball
so carefully that when cleverly sup
ported by his catcher he is oftentimes in

science, he can throw n ball in n curve
or drop it to the ground at the plate
Just when the batsman has aimed at it
at the height of his belt. To bring
about these results pitchers have vari-
Gus styles of delivering the ball, and it
is to transfer these peculiarit'es to the
columns of the newspaper that the pho
