Years He is Rear
arrested.

Sheriff J. w. Psyton, of Warsaw, came
up from Jefferson City on the afternoon
train yesterday, having in charge George
Groesheng, whose term expired in the pen
itentiary yesterday under the three-fourths
rule for FIVE years sentence. GroesheDg

horse stealing in two cases-one for two
years and the other for three
years. There are several other indict-
ments hanging over him in Benton county
and Sheriff Payton met him at the prison
gate yesterday and took him into custody.
The charge under which Groesheng is

Fisher. He sold the colt and when pur-
sued by the officers, killed the mare to
avoid detection.
He is notorious horse thief and is good
for another long term.
Circuit court of Benton county convenes
in April when Groesheng will be tried un-
der this Indictment. The sheriff lodged
his prisoner in the Jail last night and Will

CENTRAL BUSINESS COLLEGE
SEDALIA, MO.


Several new pupils in the past week
have entered school. We have never seen
pupils do better work in school.
The college literary society is becom-
ing a very important feature OF the college.
/ he meeting last night was a grand sue
cess. One often pays 90 cents for an en-
tertainment not so good.
Many pupils are entering our
night school. Remember, you may enter
any time before the special class COM
mences at special class prices, 81 90 per
twenty-four lessons We have a class every
night, but you may make arrangements
to come only two or three nights per week
il you wish.
We were favored with very pleasant
visit from one OF our old students yester-
day, Prof. w. I. Parks, teacher Of PEN
manship In the Stanbury Normal, STAN
buy, Mo. The professor thinks OF taking
a vacation of a few weeks or months in
vestigating the far West and regaining bis
impaired health. We wish him success
and happiness wherever he may go.
Our shorthand department is doing
grandly. The room is almost full and
more coming in. We shall be compelled
to enlarge our shorthand department soon.
We learn that one of our pupils in this de-
partment has been appointed court re-
porter and stenographer for this district.
We can furnish two or three more short
handlers and type-writers in the course OF
one month.

BABES LAST BREAK.
The Notorious Minnie Stevens
El0pes With a
Painter.

Brief notice is given elsewhere of the de-
parture of the notorious Minnie Stevens,
alias babe" Hunt, for pastures new and
greener chumps. Thereby hangs a tale.
When the BAzoo, a few days since, ex-
posed the woman as a procuress, she was
arrested and fined in Justice Fishers
court. She then assayed the Mazda
len dodge and so impressed some
excellent Christian ladies in the city with
a story of aouse by the BAzoo, that one Of
them. whose name is withheld, actually
offered "Babe" 8 portion Of q house
situated uptown in the best residence por-
ton OF the city, Babe promising to quit
her evil ways, join the church and live an
upright life. She made the good ladies
believe that she was a martyr OF persecu.
ton and that the BAzoo had slondered
her world without end. The sequel
is, that she has skipped for Omaha, leav.
irg numerous bills and fines unpaid, and
taking with her Jim Simpson, a painter.
whom she has had in her tolls for some
time. They had falling out some time
ago, which accounted for Babes signs OF
repentance A day or two since they made
up, and as Babe was in corner, they con-
cluded to fly. They are to
90 to Omaha, and when Simpson
makes money enough at his
trade they are to marry, and then Babe is
to reform. Simpson is a dupe, and the
woman has him tied to her apron strings.
In the meantime the uptown ladies should
retract all the hard things they said about
the BAzoo. The BAZoo is nearly always
right, aud it thinks it will be right to sup
press the names of some uptown ladies.

IN UNFORTUNATE ENDING.
e. T. Mckee, Formerly Well
Known Resident of This
City, Suicided in PenSa-
cola, Fla
Connected With q Prominent
Family and With a Most
Promising Future.

C.. T. Mckee, at one time cashier
of the Missouri Pacific freight Office al
this place, committed suicide by blow
ing out his brains in lonely ravine,
near Pensacola. Fla, on December
18th, but the body was not found
until few days ago.
Up to that time, nothing was
known as to his fate, and many sur
misses were current as to the cause OF
his sudden disappearance.
Mr.. Walter L. McGrow, who is
employed as clerk i'll the Missouri Pa
ci6c freight house, was relative OF
the suicide, and wrote to Pensacola
Immediately upon hearing ofthe death
of his kiDdsman, to obtain some au-
thentic account of his death. A copy
of an article, published in recent
issue of the Pensacolian, was at once
sent MIR. McGrow. which Is appended.
Young Mckee is prominently con-
nected in this place and has many
friends who have known him Intimate
ly since his boyhood. He has lived
nearly all his life in Sedalia, aud had
the position of cashier in the Missouri
Pacific freight house when he resigned
8 few years ago, and went to Pensa-
cola, Florida. where he read
lily obtained employment, and has
since resided. The account of the
suicide, published by the Pensacolian
is not as complete as might be desired,
but gives the main facts of the case.
1t is as follows:
IT WAS SUICIDE.
The mystery IS to the fate of Mr..
E. L. Mckee, chief clerk at the l.. d
n. Freight depot, whose disappear
auce on December 18th ult., was
noted in the PenslcoliaH at the time
and which caused no little excitement
and speculation, has Ibeen solved by
the finding of his dead, body with
every indication that it was a cool and
premeditated suicide.
The body was found last Friday
evening in deep ravine about mile

A HALF-HEARTED ATTEMPT.
Unsuccessful i'm Stealing a Ride
A Tramp Attempts
Suicide.
The Traiumen of a Missouri
Pacific Freight Eject
COntraband Passenger.

An amusing incident occurred yes
terday morning In the yard of the
Missouri Pacific railroad, and caused
considerable merriment among the
railroad men present.
1t seems that tramp had conceal
ed himself in lumber car destined
for Kansas City, at some station east
of this place, but his presence was not
discovered until the train reached this
place, owing to his precautions against
observation. Bat as the train neared
Sedalia, the tramp could control his
curiosity no longer, and protruded his
head from the car, to enjoy the land
scape.
He was observed, and one of the
brakemen ordered him off the train as
soon as it came TO a standstill. Dis.
regarding the order, the tramp laid
low, and the trainmen had to enter
the car aud force the intruder from it.
The tramp begged, petitioned and
implored the trainmen for q contin-
uance on the train, but they were in
exorable. He then made threats. and
declared that be would commit suicide
if left behind. To substantiate
the threat, he drew a rusty old clasp
knife, and placed it in close proximity
to his throat. The train moved of
without him, however, and the tramp
calmly closed his weapon of destruc-
ton, and started after the departing
train.

A Good Radiance.

Minnie Stevens, known to the public as
the notorious "Babe II unit" has departed
hence, with her partner in vice, Jim Simp-
son. The police have been keeping mat
tiers rather interesting for Miss Stevens and
her ilk, and she came to the conclusion
that green pastures could be found else
where. She went to Omaha between two
days, leaving several unpaid debts behind
her, among which was $40 for rent.

SULLIVAN TO TOUR.
He Will Start Out With a COmbi.
nation Baseball.

Truly it is said that she who laughs last,
laughs best" Mitchell and Kilrain came
TO this country and halo of glory sur
rounded them. The Police Gazette pub
lished cuts of them and Landed them to the
skies preparatory to an exhibition tour Of
the country, observes a contemporary.
They started out, and all along the line
they were egged or prevented from exhibit
ing. OF course there was a demonstration
for Sullivan at every point, and now John
l.. looms up as the tactician as we'll as the
"iast laugher." He is going to take a COM
bination over the same ground that Mitch
ell and Kilrain have visited as his advance
agents, as it were. He will start in a
week or ten days, and will manage the sf-
fair himself.
Kilrain has finally consented to fight
John L.. and not expose the cowariice
that is hidden in his heart, At least he
has written a letter to a friend in New
York, saying that he will fight. The
sporting public will be truly gratifed TO
hear this, provided all the time that 1t held
Mr.. Kilrain in as high repute as he holds
himself. Admitting that Sullivan disip-
pointed his friends by failing to knock out
Charley Mitchell when they last net in
France, he mas never been condemned as a
coward. If Kilrain is really the cham.
pion he claims to be, and "Sully" the
wreck of bis former self, TINT Kilrain has
been pleased 10 term him, it would seem
that the latter would be justified in max
ing even greater concessions to Sullivan.
Ii becomes the strong to be merciful toward
their weaker rivals.
If the special dispatch sent out from
Boston last night is to be believed, Sullivan
will be in no condition to fight when the
time for the battle comes around. 1t is
said that he has given himself up to
drink once more and that he was on a
royal foot again yesterday. There may
be no truth in the report, but it is not
unlikely that the champion will fall into
evil ways again.

The SNAKES CHARM.-A gentleman
from Iowa says that one day while going
through his poultry yard he noticed turkey
hen with neck stretched to the utmost, eyes
distended and wings eighty raised,
gazing most intently upon some OBJ
iect on the ground three or four feet from
where it stood. Watching it for some mo-
ments, ne found that the turkey moved
slowly around the attracting object in cir
Gle without withdrawing its gaze for mo-
nent. After it bad made full circle he
approached to learn the cause OF its extraor-
binary behavior and found that the attract
ing object was small striped snake par
TALLY concealed by some small weeds, and
not until he touched it did the turkey notice
his presence, though ordinary it would not
permit him to approach within two or three
yards. Even when driven away the turkey
persisted 10 returning and working around IN
circle. Other fowls were then driven
In the direction of the snake, and all on
catching glimpse of it were strangely al
fected. Finally, satisfied that the condition
of the fowls on seeing the reptile was purely
an Directive one, the writer took SUCK ana
approached the snake 10 Kill 1t. IL was
dead already and-most noteworthy polnt
of all-its head was crushed out OF sem.
blance to its original shape and covered
with dirt. The conclusion the writer reach
ed was that small animals passed into sub
ective or hypnotic condition on being sud
denly brought in view of serpents, of which
all animals, great and small, appear to stand
in dread. Accepting this, ne says, we have
the fascination OF birds and small beasts by
snakes as scientific fact.-Populdr Science
