A SEVERE SENTENCE.
But Well Deserved by the
Man Who Received
1t.

The Post-Dispatch of yesterday contains
the follow ing dispatch from Wichita con-
corning the notorious Charles NJ. Lane,
WI O sometime ago secured a reputation a
a general tough by his conduct while EN-
ployeJ on the Democrat in this city, and
who has figured in several criminal esca-
pa les since Sedalia was well rid Of him.
Wichita, Kan, Sept. l4.-Charles Lane,
formerly connected with newspapers in
Denison, Tex and Oklahoma City was to-
day convicted of unlawful cohabitatinn.
The penalty for this o6ense is fifteen years
Lane will be sentenced On three counts,
which virtually amounts to Imprisonment
for life. This is generally regarded as
severe verdict. On July 4, 1889, Lane,
while city editor of the Oklahoma City
Journal, was arrested and sent
10 Wichita to await trial for
criminal assault, on charges preferred by
Frances Skeed, also of Okalahoma City.
The evidence adduced at the trial showed
that while Lane might not have committed
the criminal assault in in the ordinary &C.
ceptance of the term. Yet he had by unfair
means assaulted a girl under Is years of
age. Judge Foster charged the jury that
under the indictment for assault If they
felt that they were not justified in con-
yicting the accused of this offense, they
might bring 10 verdict for unlawful CO.
hxbita,ion by the same process of reason
ing by which Jury may find
for mauslaughter in trial for MUIR
der. The decision Judge Foster based up
on United States statute Of which ma
jority of Wichita lawyers were unaware
and which was great surprise TO them:
Lanes lawyers will appeal on the ground
that this United States law has no juris-
diction over Oklahoma.

SMALL CRIMINALS.
A Lesson Which Will Pay Seda.
liza Mothers to
Learn.

Two boys, Harry and Patsey Cation, ages
Is and y respectively, Were arrested yes
terday for stealing a pocket book from
Mrs Woodstepper in East Sedalia. The
bows were taken before Justice Halstead
this afternoon. Their mother was present
and consented to sending both of them to
the reform school at Boonville for terms
long enough to make them fifteen years
old when they come out. Mrs. Cation made
her tongue fairly fly while claiming that
the boys were no account and no comfort
to her, and sharply scolded one of them
because he had not been at home for a
week, when the boy answered "you drove
me away and told me to clear out or you
would skin me alive, and | thought | was
not wanted so / kept out of the
way. This reply was surprise
to the mother who has kind heart, and
of course, loves her boys, but like hun
dreds of others, has looked after them in
way that made them believe that she was
their deadly enemy.

A CurkAus Coincidence.

There are two ladies living on Bsgg
street, says the Detroit Free Press,
who have been friends and neighbors
for years, and who are in the habit of
exchanging visits almost daily.
There is slight GOODNESS between
them now, because of a very curious
coincidence. Yesterday one Of the
ladies went over to the house of her
friend and invited her to come over
and spend the afternoon.
Bring your sewing" she said,
and We will have good old.fashioned
visit.
The friend said she should be glad
to come and would be over in a very
few minutes, and the other woman
went home and sat down by an open
window to await her friends coming.
The day was warm and peaceful,
the window shady and she fell asleep.
When she awakened the shades of
night were falling fast, and some one
was wrapping vigorously at the door.
She opened it in dazed kind Of a
way and saw her neighbor.
Pm 50 sorry she began to say,
when the neighbor interrupted her.
You can not feel worse about il
than L do. / just threw myself on
the lounge to take moments rest,
and | fell sound asleep and only just
woke up when Harry came in. | do
hope you will excuse me. To think
you should have staid in all afternoon

Don't mention it," said the other
Dec ,ming awake to the situation. II
wasn't going out any way" But
the neighbor will not feel that all Is
serene again until she reads this ex-
PLANTATION of the matter.

The Potentially of Superstitions in Dogs
and Other Creatures.
Do animals see ghosts? Of course
there are no ghosts. but that makes
no difference. Science and philosophy
agree that it is not at all improbable
that nothing really exists and that
nothing is, except perturbations Of
brain cells. Any thing that We may
think we see may not, after all, have
any existence-at any rate, it does
not exist as we see it. Do animals
know about ghosts and do they think
they see them? In his latest book Sir
John Lubbock undertakes TO tell how
the world appears to animals, but he
doesn't enter into the possibilities Of
snperstitions among dogs and horses,
for instance. Certainly the world does
not appear the same to the ant that it
does to man; and not quite the same
to the dog and horse, since the dog and
the horse do not laugh. If Wa
take the conclusions of science re-
specting the development of intelli-
gence, we ought to be able 10 believe
that the more intelligent of the lower
animals have superstitiOns that cor
respond in some measure to those of
the least intelligent human beings.
That many animals reason, draw
logical differences beyond the opera
ton of instinct. IS pretty we'll settled.
When dog or horse has exhausted
all its experience in attempting to ac-
count for certain phenomena. does 10
conclude that the thing is supernatu-
raj or out of the order of applicable
phenomena? Novelists tell US about
the amazing fear of horses and dogs
ordinarily fearless, when placed under
conditions that excite the fear of su.
perstitious persons. Are there facts
to warrant this? IL dogs and horses
see ghosts they must be capable of the
simplest form of religious emotion;
that is to say, the fear of the inexplic-
able, which in the savage is regarded
by science as the beginning Of religion.
Dogs have what in science passes for
moral sense. They are conscious OF
wrong doing and practice self re-
straint. OF course it all grows out Of
the experience that the doing Of Ger.
tain things is attended with moro pain
than the momentary pleasure, but this,
science tells US, is the basis OF the
moral sense. At all events science is
bound to admit the potentiality of su-
perstitions in animals.

THE RUINED EXPOSITION.
Pettis County Exhibitors Lose by
the Great Fire.

The destruction of the St. Joseph
exposition by fire Sunday evening
was a disaster which will not only reach
deep into the pockets OF the enterpris-
ing citizens of that city but will be
felt throughout the western part of
the state. Hundreds Of relics
and valuables, the value of
which cannot be measured by money,
were destroyed. A number of the
displays which went down in the
building belonged to Sedalia, and
Pettis county citizens. The great
fruit collection which attracted notice
and wide spread praise, belonged to
Teubner & Shepherd, and was raised
on a fruit farm near Lamonte.

Old Timers Meeting.

1t is desirable for the old time Mis-
sourians of Pettis, Morgan, Howard
and Cooper counties, who have re-
sided in the state 60 years and over,
to form an association and prepare a
record showing the names of these old
pioneers and their descendants, and
for that purpose a meeting will be
held at Boonville on the 9th of Oc-
tober next. As the number of such
persons is very small, the meeting
will probably change it so as to in
clude all who have lived in the state
So years or over. We ask the news
of the counties above named
to aid us by publishing this notice so
that it may come to the eye of all old
settlers. Respectfully,
WM. GENTRY,
A. j. ELLIOTT.

ALLEGED CHILD BEATER.
A Story With But Little Feun-
datiOn PrOba-
bly,.

G. White and wife, who were ar.
rested at Houstonia yesterday on a
charge of beating in an inhuman
manner an orphan girl who lives with
them, were in the city to-day with the
child. She did not look like she had
been badly treated and seemed to have
great affection for her foster parents.
The child was obtained at Kansas City.
The parents are dead or unknown,
and White and his wife have regarded
her with the greatest affection, the ar
rest probably is the result of some Of
ficious neighbor, the trial will take
place tomorrow.

AN OLD SETTLER.
How He Escaped Going to the
Mexican War.

Major A. J. Elliott, one of the old
time citizens of this county, paid the
BAzoo a brief visit this morning. He
is arranging for meeting of the old
settlers of Pettis. Morgan, Howard
and Cooper counties, who have lived
10 Missouri 60 years and over, to be
held at BoOnville on the 9,h OF next
month. The major has been an active
citizen in this part Of the state
for more than a half century. When
the Mexican war broke out, be was
living in Clay county. The county
raised 1913 volunteers more than hal
been allotted to the county. The gov.
eminent refused to take the
surplus and those who were to remain
at home were determined by draft.
Major Elliott was one who the lot
decided should not go to war, but he
had started and he left home anyhow
and engaged at freighting on
the plains, and went to Cali
fornia after the discovery of gold
there. 1t required four months TO
make the trip then, but he went
over the same route in four days two
years ago. The first trip was made
by an OK team and the last by rail-
road.

Fell From a Hand Car.

Frank Lindsay, an NJ. K. & T., section
boss in the Indian Territory, fell off of a
hand car near Colbert station yesterday
and was fatally hurt. The wheels of the
car passed across his stomach and hips in
hictiDg external as well as internal inja-
ries. He was brought TO the hospital, and
his injuries dressed last evening. His con-
dition is regarded hope, ess and his death
a matter Of very short time. Lindsay,
was a reliable snd valuable employe.
To-day the man has suffered terribly. Two
of his ribs are clear out and the organs in
side of his chest can be seen at
work, but he has grit that exciles
admiration from everybody about
the hospital. He says he is not going to
die and If he RECEIVERS it will be through
pure sand. This morning when the at
tendsnts went to change the bed, he begged
to be let alone as he was resting so we'll,
but when told that the change must be
made, he neryed himself up and unaidcd,
raised up and walked to another cot near
by.

to look after some reports OF glandered
horses In that vicinity. He found one
just recovering on the Mason farm

from the disease. He gave orders
that the affected horse be quarantined,

will spread unless looked after careful

ceedings as the law directs.
