Getting Epidemic.

For some time past there has been
a great mortality among milk COWS in
East Sedalia which instead of abating
seems to be increasing. Yesterday
Mrs. Mathews lost a very fine milch
cow and Mr.. McVey lost two. The
nature of the disease seems to be un.
known, but it is terribly fatal. 1t is
believed to be caused by the cows
drinking the waste water from the
railroad shops but whether this is
really the case is questionable. The
matter ought to be investigated by the
surgeons of the city.

others. The attendance would have
been much larger had not the storm
prevented. The Persian proverb says
Happy is the corpse the rain fall
on" and surely the proverb was veri
fed in Mrs. Heard's case. She was
beautiful and what is better was a
sincere christian and safe at home she
is surely happy with the angels, never
more to know pain or sorrow. And
only waiting for those she has left
behind. "Requiescat in pace"

THE LAST RITES.
Funeral of Mrs. John Il. Heard,
Yesterday i'm BOOnville.

The funeral of Mr.. Florence An
drews Heard, wife of John I. Heard,
took place yerterday afternoon from
the Methodist church In Boonville.
The sanctuary was filled with friends
and relatives of the deceased, notwith-
standing the fact that a heavy rain
was falling. The scriptural lessons
were read by Rev. T. NJ. Hawkins,
pastor of the church, who also paid a
beautiful tribute to the many virtues
of the deceased and her lovable attri.
butes as a daughter, wife, and friend.
The choir sang some very appropriate
selections, and many heart
throbbed In unison with
the sad and solemn strains. The floral
tributes were very beautiful, the coffin
being surmounted by a border of ferns
and the entire surface covered with
wreaths, crosses, etc., made OF roses
and immortelles. At the head rested
a beautiful floral crown. The flowers
were sent from sympathizing friends
all over the state. After the services
at the church, the funeral cortege, in.
Guiding nearly every carriage in Boon
vile and vicinity, wound its slow
length to the Walnut Grove cemetery
where all that was mortal Of the beau
tiful dead woman, was tenderly laid
to rest. The pail bearers were ::

Badly Done For,

About 2 O'Clock this morning a
negro giving the name of Bud Morton
who resides at Georgetown was picked
up at the Missouri avenue railroad
crossing amd brought to the station
house in terribly used up condition.
He said that he had been robbed
by three men, one of whom he said
was named Jack Smith and that he was
then thrown from the train. He claims
the thieves got s175 in cash from
him. DR.. Ed. Small, who attended
him, was unable to state the extent of
his injuries but pronOunces them very
serious. Morton, who has been work.
ing in Kansas City the past seven
weeks, was returning home. His
story of being robbed is not believed
in police circles, however, but it is
thought that he was stealing a ride
and attempted to jump off at Missouri
Avenue, in order to avoid
the police at the depot,
what gives color to this theory is the
fact that the pea-nutter says he did
not see Morton ON the train at any
time between Kansas City and Sc.

Baking Powder Tramps.

The danger to the public health
from the indiscriminate use of the
many lime and alum baking powders
of commerce has been so fully ex-
posed that everybody desires to avoid
them. As "forewarned is forearmed,"
housekeepers will thank us for appris-
ing them of the special efforts at pres
ent being made to dispose of such
powders in this vicinity.
The proprietors of some of the
worst of these powders are now going
from house to house, trying by means
of a trick, or sO-called test, with heat
and water, to show that their article
is as good as the Royal Baking Pow
der, making the comparison with this
brand because everybody recognizes
it to be absolutely pure and whole
some, the object of course, being to
supply their own goods in place of
the Royal, which housekeepers have
for so many years relied upon to puff
up the morning biscuit, and to make
the light, palatable, and wholesome
roll, cake, and pastry for which it is
famous.
The housekeeper will do well to be
on her guard against these bak-
ing powder tramps Every intelligent
person knows that any goods peddled
from house to house in this manner,
or that are given away in samples, or
sought to be introduced by secretly
traducing the character of other goods
well known to be pure and reliable,
have no merits of their own, and have
failed tofnd. purchasers through legi-
innate means.
We are informed, as a matter of
fact, that one of these tramps is try
ing to introduce a powder that has
been found by the Government
chemist to be 11.S5 per cent lime,
while others peddle a powder that is
20 per cent alum a powerful
caus tic, the other a corrosive poison.
No such tricks or jugglery will be
apt to deceive any intellient person.
The housekeeper who has used her
Royal Baking Powder ever since she
discarded cream of tartar and soda,
knows more about the qualities than
all the tramps in the country can
teach her. The crucial test to which
she has put the Royal Baking Powder
the test of actual and successful
work in the preparation of pure
food, under which it has never failed
is entirely satisfactory to her. She
has always had "good luck" with it
in making light, sweet and delicious
bread, biscuit and cake, and has
placed it to stay at the head of her
housekeeping favorites. She knows
that it has been officially approved by |
the government chemists as the best,
and We imagine that the baking pow
Ter tramp who tries to supplant its
place in her confidence will find this a
bad year for his business.

Hit on the Head with a Rock.

Jim Mockbee from Hughsville was
in the city yesterday after warrant
for the arrest of Buck Berry of the

something, as it was in a badly de-

How Chinese Leather Il Made.

The process by which Chinese leather
acquires its peculiar characteristics is
described as follows: The skins are put
into tubs containing water, saltpetre and
salt, and after thirty days are taken out,
the hair is shaved off, and the skins well
washed in spring water; each hide is
then cut into three pieces and well
steamed, which is done by passing them
several times backward and forward
over a steaning oven-further, each
piece is stretched out separately over
fat board and secured with nails, so
as to dry gradually and thoroughly in
the sun. The smoke of the oven makes
the leather black, and if it is desired to
have it OF yellow appearance, it is
rubbed over with water in which the
fruit of the so-called wongchee tree has
been soaked. OF the offal glue is made
by heating it in pans for twelve hours
over slow fire, and the glue so obtained
is poured into rough earthen vessels,
where it remains three days in order to
cOagulate; the solid mass is cut into
pieces with sharp knives and carefully
laid upon grating like trays to dry-the
time taken in drying varying from five
days with a northwest wind to thirty or
forty with a southwest. Boston Tram

Daniel Webster and John Randolph, but
the hostile meeting was prevented by
the interposition of friends, Senator Ben

Randolph's arrogant and insulting man
ner was always leading him into diff
culties, which frequently resulted in an
order for pistols for two and coffee for
one" yet he was no shot. When he was
about to fight Representative Eppes, Of

to superintend his practice, and said to
Mr.. Crawford, of Georgia. who was to
be his second on the field: "By all means

Clay promptly replied, with his usual

turned Wyman round and left him
open for attack. Fell saw his chance
and quick as lightning shot out his
powerful right, struck Wyman on
the neck, knocking him clean off his
feet. Wyman fell heavily on his face
and being unable to come to time in
the required ten seconds, the victory
was awarded to Fell-also at least
$500. 1t is stated by some that Fell
and his hackers carried at least 81 800
of the Alpena sporting mems money
away with them.
The gloves used are known as hard
gloves, and are but little softer than
If mere leather gloves were used.
Wyman was considerably marked
about the face. Fell did not have u
mark on him and did not receive a
blow of any account. He would like
to get lots of such easy chances to
earn from $500 to 81. 800.
Only half the required stakes had
been put up by Wyman's hackers
short time previous to the fight, and in
order to save that amount, and the fight
could go on, subscription paper was
circulated, and the other $3.50 was
soon raised.
The spectators each paid % cents
per minute to see the fight, dead heads
not included. About one hundred
men watched the fight from the side
walk in front Of the store of Klock,
Donnelly IL Co. They did not see
much except the backs of some spec
tators who sat near the Opera House
windows. They were one dollar ahead
by not going in and had us much fun
as those who were inside.
Wyman thinks Fell had steam
pile driver fastened inside his glove.
Fells crew was five strong. They
came by special stage, and left for
Black River Sunday afternoon. Wy
man went to see them of. AS they
drove away Wyman remarked mourn
fully Them - are carrying
pile of money away with them"
Before the fight Fell was said to
weight 1876 pounds. After the fight
he weighed 1872. He is not as tall as
Wyman by several inches.
The best thing Wyman can do is to
give up the fighting business and go
to work. He ought to be good man
at handling pike lever,
We sincerely trust that another of
these slugging matches will not take
place in this city. They are no ben

The Prize Fight.

On Saturday night last over 800
citizens paid one dollar each to get
into the Opera House. They paid
their dollars to see Jack Wyman, of
Black River, and Jim Fell, of Grand
Rapids, slug each other with hard
gloves for about four minutes.
The match had been arranged by
some sporting men OF this city, and
was for $500 stakes. The winner was
also to receive three-quarters of the
gate money.
In the first round Fell discovered
that his opponent knew nothing of
the science of fighting, and made up
his mind that an encounter at close
fighting distance was the best to fol-
low, and to make brisk fight. He
was not long in discovering that he
could hit Wyman where and when he
pleased and he showered his blows on
Wyman's face and neck, while Wyman
in return pounded the air.
Fell determined to end the fight
the second round. Wyman shot at
Fell with his right. Fell lodged the
blow, gave Wyman a light one OH the
shoulder with his left. This partly

State Encampment Orders.

Brig-Gen. 1. c. Smith has issued
the following order relative to sentry
duty at the State encamppent'
General Order No. l..
In anticipation of the coming en-
campment, the General commanding
desires to call the attention of the
commanders of regiments to the SUBJ
jet isc: &C c. guard duty i!rty
No part of soldiers work shows
more forcibly his discipline, drill and
military spirit than the manner in
which his duty as sentry is performed.
1t is the best test Of the benefits de-
rived from an encampment. To this
end, therefore, it is urged that all
pains will be taken by officers through
out the brigade to made this particu-
lar portion of our encampment work
a special feature.
1t is probable that the entire detail
for the day will be made from a sim
gle regiment, thus giving each regi-
ment in turn an opportunity to as
sumo the responsibilities of the guard.

Metropolitan Comedy Company.

The troupe above named COM
menced their season of week at the
Opera House, Monday night-the
play being BARLEY Campbell's five
act drama divorce" or "Rose Cot
tage." The company did their work
admirably, and the large audience
was we'll satisfied. The play rep
resented the troubles that are
caused in families by misunder-
standings and scheming people. Much
fun was created by Frank Tucker as
Mugs" Miss Alice Marble as "Sal-
ly Ann Waddles," and the character
singing of John Kenyon was both ap-
plauded and encored. The troupe
was well patronized they have given
good entertainments SO far, and we
are glad to see they are appreciated.
The play last night was "The Lam
cashire Lass, or Called to Account"
