CELEBRATE THE FOURTH.

In another column will be found an
advertisement of a grand celebration
which will take place at Sicher's Park
July Fourth.
Among the most attractive features
of the celebration will be the state
meeting of American Wheelmen,
which will, in all probability, bring
three hundred men here. There will
also be special music, athletic and &C.
quatic sports, and indeed, no expense
will be spared to make the occasion
one of the most notable in the history
of the city.
MIR. Sicher, under whose manage
ment the celebration will take place
deserves great credit for thus provid-
ing amusements which will be superb
or to any found in this part of the
country and it is to be hoped that the
patronage will exceed any heretofore
accorded celebrations Of this kind.
1t seems absurd for Sedalia and her
immediate neighbors to 60 abroad
to properly celebrate the Fourth when
with but small expense can be found
attractions here which are second to
none and which have been provided for
tie express purpose of making all
happy.
Indeed it is doubtful if those who
do 60 abroad will not regret that they
did not stay at home when they stop
to consider the advantages to be
gained by so doing.
The BAzoo trusts that all may feel
interested in the matter and
with hearts attuned to patriotism and
with the intention of seeing not only
all there is to see but also to encour.
age the enterprise which has thus
sought to crafty an amusement low
ing public, will visit the park on the
Fourth and spend the day.
Let business men for once throw
aside their cares, let the tired mother,
the frolicsom maiden, the robust
youth, the laughter loving child all 60

unine and innocent pleasure. meet

Of Education of the Michigan Legisla-

bacco on youths, it was stated that in
reply to circulars two hundred doctors
had each cited one or more cases Of
boys being dwarfed, made insane,
killed or rendered incapable of speech.
The professors of Michigan University
testified that otherwise bright students
were made dull and stupid by the use
OF the cigarette, and that in many
cases the power OF hearing had been
seriously affected. They also said
that in nine cases out of ten the reg

result in the loss of will power.

Queen victoria's Army.

1t appears that the British army is
not only the dearest in Europe but the
worst fed, so far as the rank and file
are concerned. The bread ration is
the lowest in Europe, being one pound
per day. The allowance OF meat is
three-quarters of pound, including
bone, whereas continental soldiers are
given full pound of solid meat. The
bread and meat are both apt to be of
poor quality. while the fuel supplied
Is insufficient. 1t is also complained
that the soldiers rations are too mo-
notonous. More variety is needed.
