Eliiah's Horror of Rats.

FROM Lte MUtHeHpOttS 1TtOuHe.
i learn from a most reliable authority
that Elijah Whitfield Halford, private sec
rotary to the President of the United States,
Is awfully afraid of rats. He will face
tiger in the jungles of India apolis or a dog
on the highway to Washington without
fliuching, but when it comes to rats Elijah
runs, and the white house is swarming
with them. A friend of Elijah's tells me
that after the fire in Chicago, when they
were both residing there, the streets of the
city were full Of rats that had been driven
into the streets by the destruction of their
homes, and he says the reason Elijah went
back to Indianapolis was the terror these
rodents constantly excited in his breast.
While walking along the street one night
with Elijah he was amazed to see the latter
give jump and shrek and start off ct a
pace aud in a manner that reminded him Of
the incident in the scriptures where the
evil one entered into the swine and they
all ran violently down into the sea and
were drowned. He followed after "Ligen
at the best speed he could make, and finally
overlook him, when he asked an explana-
ton.
Didn't you see that ratT said Mr. Hal
ford.
NO" replied the friend. 81 didn't see
any rat"
"Well, did" responded Elijah, land 1
always scream and run when 1 see them.

BACKED BY THE SOLIDS.
j. w. Walker Thinks He Will Be
the Next Postmaster.

j. w. Walker, the "other fellow" who
wants the Sedalia postofice, is not idle
While to Mr.. Ed. Crawford, of he Senti-
mel, is conceded the inside chances by rea-
son of having the endorsement of Eoss
Upton, Mr.. Walker feels secure in the fact
that he has the backing of the colored ele-
ment and is besides in favor on account OF
his being a crippled union veteran.
Walker lost an arm at the battle of Morris
Island South Carolina, and withal is a
man of education.
The funniest part of the whole matter is
that he is Endorsed by the Leading citizens
of Sedalia.
A BAZoo reporter met Mr.. Walker in
Kansas City, Monday. Mr.. Walker was
in that city for the purpose of delivering a
lecture before prominent secret
society order OF which he is a member, but
found time to say that he believed that he
would get the post Office.
"If honorable service with the loss of an
arm in defense of the Union means any
thing" said Mr.. Walker, 81 am entitled to
the Office and it is known that passes all of
the qualifications, except that of color and
that Is not known by one in thousand
who meet me. Look at these J" and Mr..
Walker pulled out roll which was in the
nature of a petition for his appointment
as postmaster at Sedalia. Over 500 names
were appended to the document. They
embraced men of all parties and of ali
color. Ii was q citizens request and was
not confined to any clique or ring
In addition to this Mr.. Walk
er exhibited another general
letter of Endorsement of his business quail
6cations signed by Mayor John B. Craw-
ford, Judge z. I. Bailey, and one or two
other1prominent republican officials. Mr..
Walker waved the document in the atmos-
phere with good deal of pardonable pride
and asked:
"What do you think of that? The Troll
linger scandal will place Mr.. Upton in the
soup and with him will 60 bis favorites. i
have got the backing of the solid men of
Sedalia and / will be the next postmaster"

a 2O-mfIe Ride,

Miss White, the young lady who is to
represent Missouri in the 20-mile ride at
the fair, tried the race track this morning
with full complement of horses and rode
the 20 miles in IS minutes.
Five of the horses were thoroughbreds
and three of ordinary stock.
They were fresh and in
good condition. She began the ride on a
thoroughbred, which she mounted and
without the least trouble, urged into run.
The horse and rider flew around the track
like the wind, while the large crowd of
spectators looked on with. establishment at
her wonderful skill in horsemanship. At
the end of the third time around the track,
she dismounted and remounted one OF the
common bred horses, but it began to show
signs of fatigue at the end of the second
time around, and she discarded it for an
other thoroughbred. She continued the
race, circlibg the ring twice on the
back of each of the three common snd
three times on the thoroughbreds until
the whole eight had been run. She charged
horses in an Incredibly short time, and
ran several mile heats in 1:55. AS she
jumped from the back of the last horse she
did not show the slightest sign of fatigue,
and declared that she could ride twenty
miles more without resting. The track
was in fine condition. The race began at 9
o'clock. At the fair she will be supplied
with full complement of eight thorough
breds,

An Old Settler,

j. l.. Erwin of Bowling Green
township was in the city this morning.
He left the old home in Kentucky
fifty-three years ago. He was then 81
and struck out for Missouri on horse
back. After tedious trip he found his
waylto this county and after locating a
piece of land and building cabin he
found a young lady who was willing
to share it with him as his wife.
When he came here there were only
four small settlements in the county.
The county had just been organized
and Georgetown designated as the
county seat. None OF the prairie
land was taken up or settled for sew
eral years afterward. Where Sedalia
now stands was broad prairie full of
deer and elk. The elk, however,
were not so numerous, but deer were
as plentiful as rabbits are now. 1t
was the custom every fall for several
years for dozen settlers to join in
big deer hunt to get winters supply
of venision.
The second fall after he came here
they surrounded the territory now oc-
cupied by Sedalia and scared big
drove out of the grass and shot them
as they tried to escape.

Among the parties who went to Boon
vile Sunday. by way of Arrow Rock, were
Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Allen and Nj. and
Mrs. Thomas Adams, of this city. On
their return from Arrow Rock Sunday
night they met with an accident which
came near resulting very seriously. The
accident happened about 1890 o'clock at
point near Judge Nef's place, niue miles
east of Marshall. They were driving ii.
P. Eakle's horse to Mr.. Aliens surrey.
The night was dark and Mr.. Allen, who
had the lines, could not see the road
very well. In crossing a newly con-
structed bridge, the front wheel of
the vehicle struck against an up
right piece at the end of the bridge. Mr..
A. in attemgting to get through BAG ed the
vehicle over an embapkment at the side
about six feet deep, pulling the horse with
it. All went down with q crash, and the
greatest excitement prevailed for a few
minutes. Strange to say, no one was Sc
riously hurt. The horse was pinioned to
the wreck fully one hour, finally extricat-
ing himself, but not becoming fractions at
any time, fortunately for the occupants Of
the carriage. The vehicle was pretty bad
ly used up.
The ladies and Mr.. Adams remained
over night at Judge Neff's house and Mr..
Allen came to town with Dave Stevenson

"Mr. K 7. Gentry, of Sedalia, the we'll

city visiting relatives. Mr.. Gentry has
just returned from an extended trip
through the south. Speaking about the
Worlds Fair III 1892 he said yestertsy :
"There is good deal Of talk about the
fair in the south and everywhere | found
the sentiment universally In favor OF st.

Springs and at Little Rock, and
from what 1 learned there / am satisfied
that the Arkansas people will be willing TO
subscribe literally towards having the fair
located here. haven't baen home yet, but
l believe that Sedalia will give $4,000
toward locating the fair in ST. Louis. ALI
the Missouri towns and cities will subscribe
literally for the same object. The truth
is no other city in the United Ststes offers
such advantages for the location of the fair
that st. Louis does. To locate it st New
York or Washington would be entirely I'M
fair to the west, and bes des it would do
the country at large no good. What We
want is to bring the visitors from all parts
OF the world into the interior. We don't
want them to arrive at New York by
steamer and then take the steamer aud 60
away again without seeing the country.
ST. Louis should have the fair, and l be-
lieye she will get IT."

The Wheat Crop.

The elevator companies are paying co
cents for good wheat, but very few farm
ers are willing to sell at that price, and
the amount being marketed is unusually
small. One of the dealers, in speaking of
the matter this morning, said the great
corner run by the Chicago wheat specula-
tors last year enabled the farmers in this
section to get FULLY 20 per cent. more for
their wheat than it was really worth, and
they are waiting for something Of that kind
to be repeated, so that, they can get big
prices again. 1t sowed the seeds OF specu
iation deep among the farmers, and / find
that nearly all of them are inclined to
speculate little on their own account, by
holding their grain and taking advantage
of the bulge, should one come. They are
now selling just as little as they can posi-
bly, get along with.

three clerks who have held their posi-

will. Frequently lady goes Tito a

it is too short, too long, or not the

The preliminary trial of Samuel A.
Boon, who was arrested for assaulting and
raping Eva Edwards, bright little girl
living with her widowed mother at Ionia,
was held at Ionia yesterday. The charge
was changed to attempt to commit rape
and the testimony being very strong against
him, he was held in bonds of $500 for trial
in the circuit court. Sheriff Smith brought
the prisoner back to the Jail last night.
but an effort will be made by Boon's
friends tomorrow to get the necessary bail.
