, ing anything of Bibbs sending the
money and he was compelled to fork
over. The general rumor here is that
there is soon to be a good deal of rich
ness developed over the sheriff muidle
and that somebody will get hurt.
! Every day seems TO render the peo-
pie here more impatient over the do
ings of the strikers and the shotgun
argument is quite freely talked of.
In fact the country is being greatly
damaged, for in addition to running
short of what country people term
"store goods" the detention of farm
implements and consequent delay of
farming operations is working
serious injury. 1t is estimated
th-re is not less that twenty thousand
bushels Of eggs and
FIFTY TONS OF BUTTER
being kept from market in this
country alone. As these are ihe chief
commodities at this season upon which
the farmers depend for their supply of
tea, coffee and sugar, while doing
their spring work, it is easy to imagine
that they will have no love for any
thing which interferes Herewith.
| Hall Il Boilers agent came down
to-day, but says their house can furn-
ish no sugar, and as this is the chief
article wanted just now, his chances
for trade are small.
| Quite flutter of excitement was
created here by the report that some
of the strikers were going TO Warsaw
to prevent the landing or shipping of
any goods that might have been
brought up the river for Sedalians,
and the failure of any such a commit
tee to put in an appearance is the only
thing which prevented their being
promptly jailed, as the authorities de-
clare they will arrest any one who at
tempts to interfere with their river
trade, and the people in general ex-
press their determination to stand by
their officials. Altogether it looks to
an outsider as if the world was going
daft and business to the "demnition
bow vows"
THE NARROW GUAGE.
| All aboard, sang out Conductor
Jim Settler, as your correspondent
boarded the passenger coach of the
narrow guage road at the Indiana
street depot. In few moments the
train was steaming rapidly out of the
suburbs of Sedalia's smoky center into
the broad, rich prairies and picturesque
woodlands that line the route to the
grand and fertile Usage valley, famous
for the finest wheat in the world. All
along the road the sun shone. the birds
chirped cheerfully, and the merry
sor g of the ploughboy rung out even
above the rattle of the cars, while
everywhere was seen the signs of busy
preparation for the coming spring.
Along the track were passed the Sec
ton gangs busy at work, and at the
depots the usual pills of freight and
laden cars indicated that the effects of
the strike was being but little felt or
realized by this fortunate section of
the country, whose untold undeveloped
wealth is yet to furnish employment
and food to unborn millions.
Probably in all the west there is no
section of country so
LITTLE KNOWN ABROAD,
or Offering such countless advantages
to capital and immigration of the in
dustrial classes, as that traversed by
the Sedalia & Warsaw narrow guage
road.
The principle towns along the
the line are Cole Camp, Lincoln and
Warsaw. The country traversed con-
sists alternately of rich and heavily
timbered creek bottoms, broad, rolling
and fertile prairies, and broken. billy
timber and mineral lands, belts of
which intervene in pleasing and al
ternate variety, lendinA a spice to
travel that is pleasurable in the ex-
treme. After leaving the Flat Creek
bottoms, which extend from the south
ern limit of Sedalia. the road traverses
a broad, rich prairie, gently rolling
and very fertile, until it reaches Cole
Camp, twenty miles distant from Sc
dalia. Thence it DIVORCES westerly to
Lincoln, twelve miles distant, winding
alsng the beautiful Cole Camp valley,
with its picturesque bluffs, heavily
tinbered bottoms and mineral laden
hills, inexhaustably supplied with
lead, iron, zinc, copper. coal,
mineral paints of all colors, and
brick, fire and potters' clay, of the
finest qualities, thence south to War
saw through the Usage Valley. As
yet but little effort is being made 10
