The Successful Funding of the
Outstanding School
Bonds.

The school board has successfully con-
cluded the refunding of $4,000 of the 8
per cent school bonds Of the district at 5
per cent bearing securities, thereby effect.
ing an annual saving of over a thousand
dollars. The old bonds were not due for
nearly fourteen years, bat they continued
an option, giving the district the right to
call them in and pay them of after Eve
years. The credit of the district is first
class. 1t has never defauited 10 single
instance, but every interest pay
ment has been made to the
day according to the contract named in
the bonds. Capitalists, therefore, were
red-h after the district bonds and the
$50, 900 refunders as we'll as the new $40
600 recently authorized, were snapped up
quickly, although they only bore per
cent per annum interest and a bonus or
premium of $500 paid for the chance. The
500 bonus goes into the school funds
along with the principal Of the bonds. The
bonds were taken by Eastern parties
through Mr.. j. 9. Thompson, cashier OF
the First National bank. The bonds vii,
be issued as soon as they can be printed,
probably about the LIST of September, when
money will be paid over and the matter
closed up.

A PAINFUL OPERATION.
Heroic Measures Adopted to Save
an Arm and Hand.

About three years ago Waterman Camp.
bell who had so faithfully guarded ih4 NJ,
K. d t. crossing on Sixth street. hurt his
left wrist on an old rusty nail. The wound
refused to heal and after doctoring il
about year he found it necessary to 90
TO st. Louis and have all of the assh
scraped off of his arm from the knuckle
half way up the arm to the elbow, Every
particle of the flesh was scraped of, leaving
the bones perfectly bare. The leaders,
cords and arteries were not cut but the
flesh was dissected from them so that they
looked like strings reaching along the
bones. 1t required many months
for new flesh to grow in place OF that re-
moved, but the wound all healed up nice
y except in one place where the third I'm
ger Joins the hand. Here the scraping had
not extended down quite far enough. That
place has resisted all efforts to cure IL and
Mr.. Campbell finds that nothing short of
scraping will cure it. The operation, as
can be imagined, is exceedingly painful,
but will be performed at the hospital to-
day. The case is a remarkable one and
has attracted considerable attention from
the medical profession.

A Wife Charges that Her
Husband is q Brute.

Mrs. Kate C.. Powell filed a COM
plant against her husband G. HI.
Powell, last evening asking for a
divorce, custody of their children and
proper alimony. She charges that
her husband was in the habit of get
ting intoxicated aud treating her in
the most brutal manner until the silk.
en- cords that love knit years ago have
become CALLING chains rendering her
life with him unendurab'e and con-
slant source of modification.
Shecharges among other things that
on divers occasions he has brought
her to Sedalia and while here, became
so drunk that he would drive the
wagon and team through the streets
at midnight in such furious manner
as to endanger her life, and when she
demonstrated be would curse and
abuse her. They frequently did not
get home until morning. On another
occasion while at the dinner table, she
pleasantly asked him to pass the sau-
sage, when he seized a piece in
his hand and threw it at
her in the most insulting manner.
Sticks of wood and other handy ar
ticles were used with great freedom
by him whenever he became offended
at her.
She alleges that he is worth &c..
900 and asks that he be required to
furnish her means to prosecute this
suit and properly support her during
its tendency and for an award of a
proper alimony. The children are
boys, aged 8 and IL.

JUMPED INTO THE WELL.
Mrs. John Gibney Attempts to
Drown Her Child.
Throws Herself Into a Well And
is Rescued by Her
NeighbOrS.

Mrs. John Gibney, about 40 years
of age, living with her husband and
ia nily in East Sedalia, made an at
tempt to throw her little girl into the
we'll last night about Z o'clock. The
child struggled 6ercely, and while the
mother used one hand to tear away
the boards that covered the well, she
broke away from her arms and
escaped. The mother seeing that
she could not recapture the little one
gave terrible scream as she
Jumped upward and fell feet foremost
INTO the open well. Her husband was
sitting ia the house, but when he
heard her scream he fastened outside
and reached the well just as two or
three neighbors did, The woman was
standing on the bottom with the water
reaching almost to her shoulders. She
endeavored to duck her head under
the water but the well was so small
that she could not bend her body suf-
ficiently. A rope was secured and
Mr.. GibDey climbed down and sue
ceeded in fastening it around her
waist and with the assistance of
his neighbors hoisted her out
and carried her into the house, where
some ladies took charge and removed
her dripping clothing. She was
semi-delirious for an hour or two, but
at last fell into a deep, restful sleep.
from which she did not awaken all
night.
No cause can be assigned for her
rash act. Her domestic relations are
good. Her husband is an employe
In the Missouri Pacific shops, and is
devoted to her. At present their
daughter, Mrs. McErrick, whose hus-
band was killed at Kansas City last
spring, with her little children, live
with them, and, seemingly, the family
is as happy as can be found in the
city. They are in good circumstances.
However, it is claimed that since the
birth of the little girl she attempted
to throw into the well, she has been
subject to spells of great depression
and while suffering from them has
several times threatened to destroy
herself.

A REMARKABLE CASE.
A Reminder That Truth is Yet a
Factor in the Worlds
Business.

The NJ, K. & T.. trains baye, dur.
ing the seventeen years they have
been operating, killed quite number
of cattle, but the strangest thing
about it is that out of the thousands
thus killed emily one was of common
stock, at least that is what the records
in the claim department show. Some
of the cattle were of the highest breed
of imported stock but all had enough
of the royal blood in them to make
them high priced. The one case
where the farmer admitted that the
cow killed was scrub aud not worth
much is regarded as battered ironu-
ment to truth and shows that it has
not been banished from the world.
The only drawback to it is the case
happened thirteen years ago in Yer
non county, Mo. A freight train
killed cow belonging to a farmer
named Eastus. He did not present
any claim and after waiting a month
the claim agent called on him. The
old farmer was surprised and said he
had not intended to put in a claim as
the animal was q scrub and lame and
not worth much above the
hide. He had taken the hide
off and rendered the carcass up
into tallow and sold it for
about all the cow was worth. The
claim rent was so astonished that he
had to step out and pinch himself to
see if he was really awake. He told
the old man that 1t was customary for
the road to pay something, and offered
him pass to Sedalia and return.
The old man gladly accepted the offer.

4 YOUNG EORGER.
Ed JeI,elfS arrested for Forgery
Yesterday
And Lodged i'm Jail to Await
Investigation.

Ed JOhelfs, boy about 10 years
of age was arrested at Cole Camp
yesterday on u charge of forgery on a
warrant sworn out in Justice Fishers
court by Frank Beaman an empIoye
in r. III. Harris coal yard.
He was brought here and lodged in
Jail. His father, well-respectei res
dent of this city, is endeavoriDe to
secure bail for him.
The facts ss claimed show the young
man to be exceedingly bold in his op-
erations, and had he not been discov-
cred and arrested he would have
caused somebody serious loss. AT
present all of the forgeries charged
against him amount to only $3.50.
His frat forgery was a check on the
FRS, Netional bank, payable to Frank
Beaman and signed by K. III. Harris.
Harris keeps his account at the First
National, but the boy hid his
check cashed at the Citizens n. tioaal
aud il was sent by that institution to
the First National for payment. The
forgeries were exceedingly bunglesome
and unlike the genuine, but that fact
was not noticed and the check paid
ami charged to Mr.. Harris. A few
days later the First National bank
received a telegram from
Mr. Schroeder, a merchant
al Cole Camp asking if check No. So
for $40 signed by r. Fl. Harris would
be paid. The bank replied that it
would and in the course of a day or
two another forged check make by
the youthful forger was sent in and
paid. This check was made payable to
Cliff Henderson and his endorsement
forged on the back.
The forgeries were not discovered
until MIR. Harris had his account bal
anced at the bank. He called Bea-
mans attention to the first check.
He was nearly paralyzed by the mat
ter, and protested his innocence. He
set to work to find the forger and im-
mediately suspected young Johelfs,
and after some sharp detective work
succeeded in running him down. 1t
appears that in each case Johelfs rep
resented himself to he the
party to whom the check was
payable; and, of course, his name was
not enclosed on the check, and there
by affordiDg means for his detection.
Mr.. Harris says he employed young
Johelfs about an hour one eve ning, to
assist Beamap when he was moving
the coal Office. While they were at work
Beaman drove by the bank and had
his check cashed. Young Johelfs APP
peared to be perfectly ignorant of such
business and inquired all of the par
ticulars about handling mon
ey through the bank. This
fact caused Beaman to suspect
the young man and was the only clue
he had to start him on the case.

The Extensive Building Pro
jects of the School
Board,
Which Will Give Sedalia School
Facilities That Will Be
the Pride of Her
Citizens.

The school hoard has its hands full
just now looking after the different
school buildings now in process of
erection and repairing, embracing all
new buildings for the Lincoln, the
Northeast Sedalii and The South Sc
dalia schools. The walls of the South
Sedalia are up to the second story,
and begin to show how really hand
some this building will be. The resi-
dents of that part of the city are much
pleased with it. In addition to the
new buildings, extensive repairs
are being made in the Frank
lin, Summit, Prospect and Broad
way school houses. A fine walk
of checkered tide is being laid in
front OF Broadway, which will add
greatly to the appearance of the prop
erty. The new buildings will be up
and all repairs made by the time for
opening of the fall term of school and
it is the opinion of the members Of
the board as well as that of citizens
who have taken notice to what is be.
ing done, that Sedalia will be the
best equipped city in the state in the
way of school facilities. The men,
bers of the board are giving the i'm
provements their careful personal at
tentiOn and for that purpose hold
meetings almost daily for consuita-
ton, payments of bills, etc. On ac-
count OF having the cash to pay
down the board is getting the work
done at remarkably low figures.

which the petitioner will be released

sixty days from this date.
In the matter of the public high
way petilioned for by Cam Gentry
the commissioners reported no DAM
ages and the road was ordered opened
within four months.
A remarkable fact was developed
this term. Every new road petition
and all of the pending cases except
the two above named, was followed
by remonstrance and fight. Two
of the pending cases are now on th'ir
way to the supreme court. All of
the roads asked for seem to be de-
sirable and of great public benefit,
but they are fought with great des-
peration. The cases involving the
biggest fights were continued until
when the cooler weather
will enable the court to hear them to
a better advantage. The lawyers will
reap a rich harvest before they are
all disposed of.
