The Second Annual Meeting of the
Trotting and Pacing Asso-
citation.

The next meeting of the Missouri
Trotting and Pacing Horse breed
er's Association has not yet been
located. On December 9th bus
iness meeting Of the Association
will be held at Sedalia for the pur-
pose of selecting location for the
next races, election of officers and
the selection of a place for the ami
NAL sale. Mexico was so fortunate
as to secure the last race meeting
of this association and every effort
will be put forward to secure the
next one. The meeting adds greatly
to the interest of the annual fair
and is of incalculable benefit to the
local association. OF the import
ant meeting at Sedalia this month,
the ST. Louis Rural World has the
following:
"The time for this important
meeting draws on apace. Four
weeks from the date of this paper
all will have assembled in the
good city of Sedaiia to attend to
their own business for the coming
year and to talk business to every
man present. tits much more than
likely that the attendance will be
greater than last year, and that in
a quiet way a good deal of buying
and selling will take place private
ly between the parties present.
Horsemen meet here on business !;
not competitive business as at the
fairs and races; but private, gos-
sippy, chatty business, and much
of goods done by it because of the
social intercourse and general
good feeling developed"

Prof. J. L. Nelson, of Kirksvills,

largest and most enthusiastic
gatherings at Mexico yet known in
the history of the association.
Music, elocution, the presenta-
ton and discussion of live educa-
tional topics, lectures from eminent
men, and a grand banquet at the
close, ought to be enough to bring
out every live and energetic teacher
and friend of education in the dis
trict." We thinks SO, too.
Teachers of AudraiH, here is
rare opportunity, let us not miss
it; we cannot spend the holidays
in manner more profitable or en-
joyable. We have a good name
abroad, let us prove that we are
worthy of it by attending this
meeting in large numbers.
Many teachers viii be present
from other counties in North Mis-
souri,. Let us show our true spirit
by bringing in the largest delega-
ton. Come out, let us extend our
acquaintance, let us see what
others do, and hear what they say.
We cannot afford to be absent for
five times the cost.

A SENSATIONAL MURDEREss.
"Mrs. KING" the Slayer of Henry
King, Goes into Mourning.

The number of persons who call
at the county Jail in Omaha in the
hope of seeing the murderess of
Henry w. King, Jr,, has dwindled
from hundreds to three or four per-
sons daily. Mrs. King continues
to write letters and read all the
daily Omaha and Chicago papers
she can obtain. She seems to have
fully regained her usual health,
which is far from well, and does
not give way to intense emotion,
such as marked her first week in
prison.
One of the most interesting and
certainly the most sensational incl
dent that has transpired since
the shooting, came to pass when
the prisoner arose in the morning
and attired herself in deep mourn
ing, dress, collar, handkerchief,
and all of the latest style. She
says she purposes wearing black
the full time customary for widow
to do so.
Her trunk, Il large Saratoga, ar
rived yesterday, filled to the ut
most capacity with wardrobe artic-
les and presents given her by
Henry W. King, Jr., during the
time which he was living with her
and introducing her to society and
the world in general as his wife.
She handles them with a great deal
of apparently loving care, and tells
how dearly" she treasures them.
IT appears that the last victim Of
"Jack the Ripper" in the White
chapel district was singing Sweet
Violets, when her slayer came upon
her. Some Of the enterprising
London papers printed the words
of the song in their accounts of the
crime. This is the first explana-
ton Of this redhanded murderer's
motive. We may expect to hear
of additional murders until Sweet
Fiolets dies out, or is suppressed
by law.

II. Il, Ray, Representing the New
York 'Sportaman." q Conf
dence Man.

H. P. Ray is lin the soup" The
"soup" in which he is at present
iioundering is the St. Charles jail,
where he ia serving a six months
sentence for obtaining money un-
der false pretenses. Ray ID well
known here as well as in st.
Charles. With his wife, he came
to Mexico last summer and stop
ping at the Windsor, announced
himself as representing the New
York Sportsman. He held cor
respondents card for tle paper,
which had across its face in con-
spicuous letters, "Not authorized
to collect money" But Ray did
collect money and lots of it. He
contracted efor subscriptions and
advertising for the Sportsman, but
his customers never received the
value of their money in fact, after
Ray had left town, they heard
nothing of it. The swindling can
vasser worked all the towns in this
part of the State and then decamp-
ed. One of his customers was the
firm of Miller & Guitar, Columbia.
These gentlemen were not satisfied
to lose their money without mur-
mur, and accordingly they wrote to
the Sportsman. Several letters
were received in reply, Of which
the following is self explanatory !:
Miller & Guitar, Columbia, Mo.
NEW York, Oct. -. 1SSS.-GEN-
TLEMEN: We have the satisfaction
of learning that a gentleman in St.
Charles, Mo, had Ray arrested re-
Gently and he got six months in

him tried on your matter after he
has served his term ?

Ray is released at St. Charles he
will be brought either here or Col

made raid on my stock in the

hogs and stampeding my cattle ;
and again on Wednesday night,
wounding several cattle. Now, as
you at one time drove me out of

age me several hundred dollars
and cause me to vacate my own
premises, | propose to try to get
even with you if it takes me a
year. Those of you who are in
nocent are advised not to go in
that direction. If you do, and
should see a piece of meat lying
about, don't pick it up it-might
have poison on it.

A Mysterious Turnout ON Monroe
Street Frightnns Belated
Pedestrians.

Belated pedestrians on West
Monroe street Wednesday evening
were treated to rather sensational
sight at the point where that street
is crossed by Water street. Com
ing from the west, on Monroe. af-
ter one O'clock, a carriage with the
curtains closely drawn, moved
along the street, pgiicd slowly by
two horses. Atthe animals heads
a heavily bundled man walked, APP
parently guiding the undtiven
horses. The mysterious cquipage
moved along the streetsat almost a
snail's pace, turning north on Wa
ter street. The few persons abroad
at that late hour of night stopped
and gazed in wonderment at the
strange outfit, but The leader at the
head of the horses did Tot say q
word or increase his speed. The
passers-by thought il best not to
interfere and nothing passed be-
tween the parties. Ghostly thoughts
of ghouis and midnight assassins
filtered through the brains of The
beholders and every story they had
read or heard Of grave robbers
came to them in All instant. fut
the procession did not delay, and
while the astonished pedestrians
gazed upon the vehicle, 1t became
lost in the heavy shadows Of the
night. No one has offered solu
ton to the mystery aud it has been
seen only on this one occasion, at
the one place.

BY AN ELECTRIC SHOCK.
The Way New York Criminals
Will be Disposed Of After
Jan. l, 1880.

New York, Dec. 5.-January / =,
1889, the law requiring electrical
executions goes into effect, but un-
til to-day the amount and character
of current required to make death
certain and instantaneous had not
been determined. The expert
ments on dogs made last summer
by Harold p. Brown, the electrical
engineer, were criticised because
the weight of the animal killed
was less than that of a man and it
was supposed that more current
would be required to kill human
being on that account, This after
noon Brown was given an eppor-
tunity to make a demonstration be-
fore Elbridge 7. Gerry, author Of
the electrical execution law, and
the committee appointed by the
medico-legal society to report on
the best means of putting the law
into effect. The experiments were
made at Edison's laboratory at
Orange.
The first victim was calf weigh
ing l24 IL pounds. The hair was
cut on the forehead and on the
spine behind the forelegs and
sponge covered plates moistened
in solution of sulphate of zinc
were fastened in place. The re-
sistance of the animal was $500
ohms. An alternating current of
700 volts was applied for thirty
five seconds and the animal was
dead. 1t was at once dissected by
Drs. Ingram and Blever, but the
brain, heart and lungs were found
to be in normal condition and the
meat was pronounced fiji for food.
One metal plate carrying the cur
rent touched the hair of the fore
head and slightly burned it, but
otherwise there was no external in
dications of injury.
To settle permanently the weight
question horse weighing 1920
pounds was next killed nv pasSipg
the alternating current at 700 volts
from one fore leg to the other.
The experiments proved the
alternating current to be the most
deadly force known to science and
that less than half the pressure
used in this city fer electric light
ing by this system was sufficient to
cause instant death.
