FOR ISLANDER.
Miss Lizzie Schrader on Trial for
Slandering Miss Ida
Shepherd.

The trial of Miss Lizzie Schrader
charged with slandering Miss Ida
Shepherd was begun in Justice Fish.
er's court this morning. The jury,
composed of William Garrell, Jno.
Banks, j. G. Farley, ]. |. Orrison,
Joe Mason and Alex Blair, was i'm
panneled and it then being noon
recess was taken until
1:30 this afternoon. The charge is
SANDER instead of libel. The justice
has jurisdiction of the former, and
the criminal court the latter.
The defendant is about 1S-years
old and is the daughter of Jacob A.
Schrader of this city. Miss Ida Shep-
hard, the prosecuting witness, is a
handsome young girl about 14-years of
age, but well developed and looks two
or three years older. The parties
both live in the same neighbOrhOod
and general appearances indicates
that Miss Schrader is extremely Jeal-
Gus of Miss Ida on account of her
popularity in the circle of young peo-
pie they both belong. Miss Schrader
is charged with circulating a report
that Miss. Sheppard had been crimi-
nally intimate with boy named Dug
Foot. The court room was crowded
with the friends of both parties,
mostly ladies, and the greatest inter
est manifested.
Miss Shepherds father is dead and
she lives with her mother on Harry
street in East st. Louis. She works
in the wooden mills and the family are
in measure dependent on her wages
for support.
The case was taken up at 1:3O this
afternoon. The room is crowded
with eager spectators who seem to be
anxious not to lose a
single word. Some of the
testimony was quite racy and not very
good for young ladies to hear, but a
dozen from II to Is years of age are
present. A crowd of young men, evil
IDENTIFY the acquaintance Of
the poung ladies, are also
present and they INDUCED in out
bursts of laughter, while a hot blush
passed over the faces of the ladies at
times, when the testimony is paeticu.
larly nasty. The laughter was sup.
pressed by the court, but the bushes
were unmanagable. The case will
occupy the remainder of the day.

FISH AND FISHING.
The Missouri River Full of Ger
man Carp.

Some Boonville parties have been
fer q few days supplying the market
here with fresh fish caught in the
Missouri river. The fish are caught
in wing nets, consisting of a large
funnel shaped net about 80 feet long
and two feet in diameter. Two wings
about thirty feet long spread out on
each side and OH an angle, so that
when the fish swims against them it will
be guided into the center and from
thence to the funnel from which it
can't escape. Nine nets supply about
1000 pounds every twenty-four hours.
The each during day time is nearly
double that at night. The fish are
nearly all buffalo and carp. The for
mer are tie largest in size but the lat
ter the most abundant. The fisher
men say that there was no carp in the
Missouri seven or eight years ago but
now the river fairly teens with them
their theory is that the river was
stocked by the fish that escaped from
private ponds from time to time.
The Neosha river in Kansas was
stocked in that way and are now go
abundant that nearly all of the other
kinds have been driven out.

st. Joseph, Mo-, November 2l.-A we'd
ding took place here last night which has
caused quite a sensation. The contracting
parties are w. F. Dyer, Assistant City En-
giner, and Mrs. Lydia Whsley. One week
ago VIM. Whalev, the former husband OF
Mrs. Dyer, obtained divorce from her on
the grounds that she had become too well
acquainted with Dyer. The evidence Of
fered in the case was that Mrs. Whaley
had been in Dyer's company to the entire
exclusion of her husband, and had con-
fessed to the latter that her love for Dyer
was such that she could not OvesCome It.
All this was set forth in the plaintiffs
petition. which the defendant acknOwl-
edged by not attempting to fight the case,
the decree being granted by default. Dyer
has been a very influential worker in the
Odd Fellows fraternity, and for his con.
nection with this matter has been expelled
from the lodge.

NATURAL GAS.
An Expert Says 1t Exists
Beneath Sedalia.

A gentleman largely interested in
the property of Sedalia said to q
BAzoo reporter this morning.
"I believe plenty OF natural gas ex.
lists under Sedalia and can be reached
without trouble. / was raised" said
he. Gin Grant County, Indiana, the
center of the natural gas regions of
Indiana, and for long time [ have
noticed that the character of the soil
here is much the same as it is in
Indiana. The rock is exactly the
same and the more
investigate the matter the
more | am convinced that
all we have to do to get a big
flow of gas is to bore for it. In the
Indiana fields the gas wells are from
700 to 1000 feet deep. We might
have to 60 deeper here, but the depth
of the well cuts no figure except that
it will cost little more. 1t would
not cost over 81 900 to sink an ex-
perimental well, and if it should prove
TO be what / expect it would make
Seda'ia a great city. "Natural gas
was discovered in Indiana less than 8
years ago. Marion the county seat of
Grant county had population of less
than $500 at that time. To day it
has over Is, 1000. Gas furnishes free
fuel for two window glass, two bottles
and one fruit jar factories, three straw
board mills and two large
stove foundries besides lot
of minor establishments all employing
nearly 5000 people. The town grows
dnspite of the frantic efforts of the
good old citizens to retard it. Gas
is better for fuel than coal. and costs
nothing but the expense of boring the
well. 1t would pay Sedalia to inves.
tigate the matter.

One of the parties placed the muzzle of a

when the other two robbers made motion
to overpower him, he handed over the cash
and was allowed to 60 home. He mott
fed the officers as soon as possible and
gave as good description as he could.
