CHRISTIAN COLLEGE.
An Effort Being Made to Have
it Located at Sedalia.

A short time ago the Christian col
lege located at Camden Point. Platte
county, was burned down. Over one
hundred bOarders were at the school
and they lost nearly ali their personal
effects. There was an insurance of
So, 900 on the building, which, with
the $4,000 endowment is possessed
S23, 900, and of course the college
will be rebuilt in some part of the
state.
With these facts in view the enter
prising Christian brethren of Sedalis
have already made move
toward securing its location
in this city. A business
meeting was held by the officers of the
church Sunday, at which meeting q
committee, consisting of Rev. NJ NJ
Davis and Elder Longan, was sp-
pointed to confer with our enterprising
citizens anu solicit donations in aid of
the movement.
Camden point will of course wish to
retain the school, and will make a
determined opposition to It's proposed
removal. The matter of location is
left with the board of incOrporatOrs,
which will meet and decide the matter
in June. Sedalia can get the college
by determined and united pull for
If.

A BOOM FOR SEDALIA.
Forty Additional Mechanics e.
be Added to the Katy
Shops.

Beside the $50 men now employed
in the NJ, K. x I. shops in this city,
it has been found necessary to increase
this force by 40 more skilled mechan
les in the Car repairing shops. "The
demand for cars on our lines has Ou.-
grown our facilities for turning them
out of the shops and hence we ordere /.
an increase in the working force at
the shops" said Mr.. Geo. A. Ely
one of the receivers, to BAzDo r.
porter to-day. "Must of the
new men needed will have
to be skilled laborers.
and will be brought 10 SedaIia from
other points. Many of them vii
come from Fort Scott and bring their
families, and will 90 to- work April
first"
1t will be seen from this that Soda
liza will enjoy quite an addition to her
population in a few days. Forty
mechanics with their families means
an addition of about 200 souls to the
city's population with all the advsnt-
ages such an addition means Those
people will want houses and one fact
will stare them in the face, and that
is the appalling scarcity of dwellings.
Here is chance for our capitalists to
invest, and at the same time do a
good deed.

CRACKED THE SAFE.
John N. Dalby's Wholesale GrOc
cry House BurgIarized
Last Night.
The Thief UnlOcks the Safe and
Breaks Open the Inside
Drawers With a
Crusher.

The lat and most daring of a long
list OF burglaries and house breakings,
with which Sedalia has been afflicted
for several weeks, occurred last night.
when the safe in John n. Dalby's
wholesale grocery house at Fifth and
ONO streets was unlocked and the
money s6.9l in coin taken.
Mr.. Anles, the bOOa keeper, left the
office, which is in the front part of the
store, about ten o'clock, after hav-
ing deposited what little
change was on hand-S6 81
In an inner iron drawer in the safe
and turning on the combination.
About two o'clock this morning Officer
Joe Gossage, while passing the build
ing, noticed that the double front
doors were slightly sjar. He entered,
and discovered that the safe had been
opened and the floor covered with pa
pers and fragments of inside wooden
drawers. As soon as possible Mr.
Daily was sent for, and when he ar
rived the full extent of the burglary
was made known. The burglar had
entered the store by prying in the
double doors with a jimmy or crowbar
until the bolts slipped. He then un-
locked the safe door, evidently
being familiar with the combination.
Then with crowbOr he had literally
punched the stuffing" out of the
safe. The inside iron drawer which
contained the money was battered
until the end fell out. The box was
found at the northeast corner of the
Court house lying on the grass by
Sheriff Smith this morning. The
wooden drawers were knocked to pieces
and the contents empIied on the floor.
They consisted of over a thousand dol
lars in government bonds, all of Mr..
Dalby's bank stock, his Missouri
Trust Company stock, lot of receipts
and other valuable papers. Why
the burglar failed to take the
government bonds il a mystery. The
thief had evidently made bis attack
on the iron box i'm the office and then
carried it to the court house yard as
a corner broken off of it was found on
the floor A drawer in the book
keepers desk was also broken open
and the papers scattered on the floor,
A leather pocket book containing pa
pers was also found in the court yard.
The thief was evidently looking for a
big haul and paid no attention to the
papers or bonds. Mr.. Daily deposit
ed $500 in the bank at late hour
last evening and the burglar was
foiled.
1t has since been learned that the
tools with which the safe was cracked
were stolen from the basement of the
court house, as Janitor dad" Smith
has missed his hammer and poker
= hich he uses in connection with the
heater. The burgler evidently went
into the basement and stole those
tools after he had removed the iron
drawer to the court yard.

THE FRY ABOUT FREY.
The RumOr That he Will Resign
is Officially Denied.

The Kansas City News of Yesterday
contained the following item of news:
Friends of e. l. Durham, late superin-
tendent Of the Union depot, were pleased
this morning at we'll founded rumors from
ST. Louis and Sedai4 TO the effect that Mr..
Duuham has been rendered the general SUI
perlntendency OF the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas road
1t is known that Mr.. Fry has resigned
and that his successor will take charge on
the lst OF April. The position is one of
the most important in the west, as the road
controls 500 miles of line, and under the
management OF its new receiver is making
rapid strides III pa seCger and freight bust
ness
The receivers, Eddy aud Cross, are said
to be firm friends OF Mr.. Durham. The
report is the general subject OF converse
zion among railroad men at IT. Louis and
Sedalia.
Mr.. Durham was seen by a representa-
tive of The Evening News, but declined to
confirm or deny the rumor."
Armed with the foregoing, BAzoo
reporter called upon Receiver Geo. A.
Eddy of the NJ, X. Il T., to-day and
asked bin to throw little light upon
the subject.
"1Ou can say there is not scin-
tilla of truth in the statement. MIR.
Brey HO more thinks of resigning his
position as general superintendent than
1 do my position as receiver" said
Mr.. Eddy laughing. 1.-The report
originated in some obscure newspaper
in Texas when Mr.. Fry was down
there a short time ago. He gives per-
feet satisfaction and is going to stay
right where be is. | notice IN this
morning Kansas City Times the fol-
lowing on the same subject"
at is generally believed that Mr. j. j.
Frey the superintendent of the Missouri,
Kansas anu Texas will retire from the
service Of that company April l, and it Is
rumOIed that he will be succeeded by Mr..
Z. l. DHnham of this city. 1t is a well
known fact that the Missouri and Pacific
ideas of Mr.. Frey did not coincide with
the ideas of railroading the receivers be.
lieve in and that there has been several
large sized rows in consequence.
Mr.. Durham positively denies that ne
will 20 to the Missouri Kansas and Texas
but it is not probable he would give it
out that be was going until it is po itively
announced MIR. Frey has resigned.
You can saw" continued MIR.
Eddy, THAT that article is also man
ufactured out of whole cloth.
There never has been a cross word
or a simple difference of opinion
passed between Mr.. Frey and the re-
eeivers. Our relations have ever been
of the most amicable Kind. Ii we
were in the habit of having spats there
might be some excuse for such rumors,
but there has never been a difference
between us. 1t is true Mr.. Cross and
myself are friends of Mr.. Durham,
but we have never spoken to him on
the subject"
IL is to be hoped that the above will
put stop to any further nonsense on
the subject in the Kansas City papers.

JACKSON JAILED.
The Burglar of j. N. Dalby's
Safe i'm the Clutches of the
Law.
A Tell-TaIe Book, and a Silver
Half Dime Gives the Thief
Away.

Bill Jackson. negro, is playing
checkers with his nose on the iron
gratings at the county jail. Night
before last the safe in the wholesale
grocery establishment of John n.
Daily on Fifth street was opened and
the money-s6.91 taken. Deputy
Constable Walter jackson went tC
work yesterday and like sleuth-
hound followed the trail so closely
that at ten o'clock this morning he
had placed his man where the law will
deal with HIM as be deserves.
The prisoner who is charged with
the offense, fis Bill jackson, negro
with a reireating forehead and a vii
famous cast of countenance. He
promptly plead not guilty when ar
raigned before Justice Halstead this
morning and impudently demanded
a speedy trial. The preliminary ex-
animation resulted In his being bound
over to await the action of the grand
Jury in the sum of $500. Not being
able to give the required amount
of bond, he went to Jail. His only
witness was Florence jackson, his
sister-in-law, a colored prostitute who
figures in the police court frequently
and who attempted to make out an
alibi. The testimony for the state
disclosed the fact that the negro Jack
son was for long time an employe at
III. Bauer's barber shop on Ohio
street and was accustomed to being
frequently in Dalby's office, where
Young Herman Bauer was bookkeeper.
In this way he evidently learned the
combination of the safe. Bauer's bar
Der shop was opened few weeks ago,
and from the manner in which 1t was
done, it is evident that jackson was
the burglar in that instance.
l.. s. Murray, young man who
lives here, testified that he went into
the water closet in the rear of Ben.
Johns0n's saloon last evening and
found red morocco book ON the
floor with the name of Herman Bauer
on the cover. As he passed in, he
met Bill jackson coming out and
calling to him, asked him if
that was his book. jackson
said it was that he had
dropped it, and took it. When ar
rested, by constable jackson, the
negro had the book in his possession
and the name Herman Bauer" had
been scratched off with a knife or
some other sharp instrument. Mr..
Murray had not heard of the burglary
when he returned the book to the
negro. Among the coins taken from
the safe was silver half-dime. Mr..
Daily and his book keeper, Mr.. Antes
had spoken of it and examined it
the night before the burglary
because silver half dimes are
scarce. When arrested the negro had
the half dime in his pocket. Justice
Halstead promptly bound him over.
1t Is evident that the burglaries
which have been committed during
the past three or four weeks have
been committed by Jackson and some
others with him. That it is an igno-
rant gang is evidenced by the fact
that they left government bonds lying
on the floor, not knowing their value.
Five dollars was taken from anOth-
er drawer in the Daily safe, which
makes the total loss Sl1.91, instead
Of s6.9l as reported yesterday.

New Designs For Coins.

"Yes, we need a change" said
downtown money broker to a New
York Star reporter who was asking
him whether American coins would
not be improved by substituting some
thing besides spread eagles and stiff
necked goddesses of liberty as en-
blems of the land of the free.
There is general desire for new
designs outside of the numismatists
and collectors, isn't thereP"
Eyes; Mint Director Kimball thinks
that the designs of American coins are
inartistic, and he is DESTROYS to have a
change. Senator Morrill, is also inter-
ested in a change, as he believes that
the coins of every great nation of the
world surpass those of the United
States in an artistic sense. A bill is
now pending in congress, earnestly
supported by Senator Morrill, and the
mint director, which stipulates that
there shall be change in the style of
coinage every twenty-five years"
ut is long time since any new
style of establishment was introduce
ed?"
"With the exception of the new five
cent piece anu uOllaf Inere mas Oeen
no change in design for about forty
years, Think" continued the broker.
at is perhaps only natural that peo-
pie should clamor for new style, but
they will be very hard to satisfy if
every new coin shall be subjected to
as much adverse criticism as was
heaped upon the new dollar and
nickel piece. 1t IS difficult task to
make proper design for coin. The
most skillful artists and sculptors have
submitted designs that are entirely inn
practicable owing to their imperfect
understanding of the low relief which
is an absolute necessity in coin de-
signing. The designer of a medal,
which admits ofhigh relief and statues
que flowers, is pretty sure not to sue
coed in designing a STAMPED cc;n."
