RAISING A BOYCOTT.
A Member of the s'NOble Order
Who Visited Sedalia for
That Purpose.

Ambrose Hastings, master workman
of local assembly 34S7, Knights of
LObOr, was in Sedalia yesterday, work.
ing in the interest OF the "nOble or
der" in raising the boycott on the
Deuber Watch Case manufacturing
company, of Connecticut.
The Deuber company is one Of the
best known in the United States, and
surpassed all competitors in the mat
ter of doing thriving business. En-
plOyment was furnished to between
900 and l 900 men. of which num-
Der 100 associated themselves with the
Knights Of Labor. From this mo-
ment there was trouble. Some Of the
men were dismissed from the compa-
ny's employ, and of Iurse they at
tributeI their discharge to their con-
nectiOn with the mobile order"
Finally all the Knights in
the company's employ were
dismis ed, but nearly 800
remained, and business was transact
ed as usual. The places vacated by
the Knights were filled, which greatly
incensed the executive board of the
'nOble order" and on June IS, 1885,
a boycott was declared against the
Deuber company.
For months the war was waged Wig
OrOusly, but about the first of March
last the company surrendered, and
one of the conditions was that the
noble order" should cause circulars
to be issued and distributed broadcast
throughout the land by Knights of
Labor. announcing that the boycott
had been ordered off.
This, in brief, was Master Work
man Hastings mission in Sedalia yes
terday, and the following is an extract
from one of the three circulars he was
personally enga ed in distributing:
They are without doubt tic hest
made watch case in the market; and
now that the Deuber company have
acknowledged the justice of our cause
it is our bounden duty to do al in our
power, as per agreement, to restore
their business to its former prosperity;
therefore, when any Knight of Labor
wants watch case, by buying one
made by the Dueber company he will
be doing an act of courtesy and JUS
tice, and at the same time will secure
watch case that is as represented,
and that for quality and workmanship
cannot be surpassed. We hope that
all Knights of Labor will see the JUS
tice of being as ready to help the
Dueber company when they have
acknowledged their error, as they were
to place the boycott on when the
trouble first commenced"

Will l.. Better, secretary of the
Sedalia fair association, returned yes

Thursday, he attended a meeting OF
the secretaries of the various assOcia-
tions embraced in the Missouri Valley
circuit.
There will certainly be five cities
represented in the circuit this year,
and possibly six" said Mr.. Better to
the BAzoo last evening.
"Maryville, NOdaway county,
comes first, and is followed by St.
Joseph, Bismark Grove, Kansas City
and Sedalia, in the order named"
(Which is the sixth city you refer
to as among the probabilities ~
Springfield, Greene county. The
people of the town are anxious to be
included in the circuit, and admission
is not improbable.
"What date was fixed for Sedalia's
exposition"
September 20 to %, inclusive"
"What are you going to offer IN the
way of premiums and purses%
SIN this respect We will surpass our
efforts of former years. Sedalia viii
offer purses aggregating $4,000, while
the combined circuit will not offer less
than s35, 600"
"This sum ought to secure good
horses" suggested the reporter.
eft will give us some of the best to
be found in the west, and if the
weather is prOpitious our next fair
ought to be pleasing success"

DELAYED AT DRYWOOD.
The Washing Out of a Culvert
Interferes With Trains
on the NJ, X. & Il.

The two washouts which occurred on
the NJ, X. IL T. road, south of
Nevada, Thursday night, as chrOni-
cled in a special telegram to the
BAzoo, were more serious than at
first supposed. Of these breaks, the
most disastrous was the washing out
of culvert at Drywood creek, short
distance from Nevada. This particu-
lar point has caused the company
great loss and inconvenience in the
past, and in fact has interferred with
travel whenever there was heavy
fall of rain.
Passenger train No. 154, due here
at IL o'clock Thursday night, did not
arrive until o'clock yesterday after
noon, owing to the break at Drywood.
Orders were received by the eOnduc-
tor to branch off at Parsons and make
the run to Sedalia over the Kansas
and Arizona division to Holden, and
then over the main line of the Pacific
to this city, and the trip
was sentered upon. After having
proceeded some distance it was
learned that bridge had been washed
out near Chanuts, Kas., on the K. IL
A. division, consequently the train
returned to Parsons and awaited the
repair of the break at Drywood and
arrived here at the hour stated.
As a matter OF course, freight
trains were partially abandoned yes
terday, but they began moving short
lyafter the noon hour, at which time
the culvert at DrywOod had been re-
paired.

A WEEPING WIFE.
Mrs. G. A. Nugent Says Her Hus-
band Has Cruelty ne-
serted Her.

Mrs. G.. a. Nugent called upon
Chief of Police Jackson yesterday and
invoked his aid in ascertaining the
whereabouts of her husband, who
until last Wednesday was employed
as a guard at the NJ. X. IL L. shops.
A BAzoo reporter met the lady later
in the day and learned her story.
She came here in company with her
husband on the 18th of March last,
from St. Louis, and they engaged
board at Mrs. Huff's, Sixteenth and
Lamine streets. Mr.. Nugent secured
employment as guard and so con-
tinued until Wednesday, when he
mysteriously disappeared and his wife
has not heard from or of him since.
Mrs. Nugent stated that she had
been left penniless, and when seen by
the BAzoo man she was endeavOring
to dispose of handsome tidy at a
secondhand store ON Main street, in
in order that her immediate wants
might be supplied. AT present she
is stopping with Mrs. Stevens on
Ohio street.
Nugent is said to be a drinking
man, and it is quite likely he is at
present indulging in one of his period
ical sprees. He is about 43 years of
age, although he looks much younger.

Grand Success.

The new method of making Poi out OF
Taro Flour has reduced the time from
20 hours to only l hour. The old
method of cooking it in bag has been
discarded There is no need OF building
fire specially for the purpose, but it can
be cooked at the same time that the
ordinary meal is being prepared.
Take an agate iron porcelain lined
saucepan, and pour into it one part of TarO
Flour to two parts Of water. Mix VOL and
be sure there are no Jumps. Place the
saucepan over good fire and stir the -four
and water with a wooden spoon or stick
until it becomes thick, which will take from
three to FIVE minutes, according to heat
employed. After it is thick occasional
thorough stirring is necessary, adding a
little warm water from tine to time TO pre-
vent its getting too thick. Let 1t simmer
for nearly an hour, ana be almost As stiff as
paiai-that is, quite thick. Put it into q
calabash or large bowl and let it stand
from two to three days, when it will become
nice and tart.
Should the Poi show tendency to be
come cloggy or lumpy, it can easily be
remeded by smoothing down with potato
masher or wooden spoon.
Persons preferring sweet Poi Will find that
by cooking the -four according to the above
instructions while preparing their evening
meal and letting 1t stand over night, 1T Will
be in proper condition for use on the follow
ing morning.
