ATTEMPTED BURGLARY.
Thieves Discovered i'm the Rear
of Hotel DerieuX and Fired
Upon by the Proprietor.

At 10:30 o'clock last night the por-
ter of Hotel Derieux, who sleeps in a
rear room, was awakened by some
one trying to break i'm a rear door.
Slipping out of bed he went to the
office of the hotel and told the pro-
prietor, j. L. Derieux. that a couple
of men were forcing in the rear door.
Mr.. Derieux, arming himself with a
revolver. tipped out the front door
and walked cautiously along the
west side of the hotel
prtil he reached the north
west corner of the building.
Looking around the corner he saw
two men standing few feet from the
buil1iug. Stepping out in full view
of the men he asked them what they
wanted. They made no reply but
started on run, one going south and
the other going north. Landlord
Derieux drew bead on the fellow
going north and fired but missed the
flying target. The fellow that ran
south fell into tap and Mr.. De-
rieux hoped to capture him by
quickly going around in front of the
hotel, but when hr arrived there the
fellow bad given him the slip. When
the thief ran south he was
confronted with a smooth
lattice fence, ten feet high with no
chance for foot or hand hold. But
he was in pen that he had to get
out of, and that quickly. Looking
around he saw small tree and this
he used as a ladder. Quickly climb
ing this he found himself on a level
with the top of the fence, and, swing
inc over, he caught the top rail and
vaulted over the obstruction onto the
sidewalk below. He partially fell as
he struck but quickly gaining his feet
he fled eastward and disappeared at
Lamine avenue.
The police were attracted by
the shot and a squad Of them
scent several hours in searching
through North Sedalia. As the men
stood in the shadow of the house Mr..
Delieux did not get good enough
view of them to furnish a description
of the robbers to the police and they
he'd to work blindfoided. A theory
was advanced to-day that the men
were intending to fire the hotel for
the purpose Of drawing attention so
that they could do holder work which
they may have planned.

THE Upton SUSPECTS.
The Trainmen Fail to Identify
the Thieves as the Otter
vile Train Robbers.

learned that Sam Avery, John Sulli-
van and Jas. Mitchell the express

porter who were on the Missouri Pa
cific train that was robbed near OF
terville, arrived in Upton this morn
ing and were taken into the presence
of the Hamilton bro: who have
been in custody at that point for the
past few days. They did not
identity the prisoners, saying
one Of them was about the right size
but they were not the right parties.
Mr.. Monroe stated that the prisoners
were undoubtedly crooks, but that it
will be hard work to convict them of
any crime. They will be he'd awhile
longer to await future developments.

A MURDEROUS DARKEY.
A COlOred Tramp Assaults Con-
ductOr Walden With q Knife.

Conductor Walden of the west end
of the Missouri Pacific, had a little
unpleasant experience yesterday
morning as he pulled out of Kansas
City. As the train passed Grand
avenue a +darkey boarded the hind
end of the caboose. When
informed by Mr.. Walden
that he could not ride, he whipped
out a long bladed knife and attempted
to useit. As the darkey struck, Walden
threw up his arm and warded off the
blow, receiving a slight cut on the
back of his hand. At this instant the
darkey jumped off the caboose and
disappeared. The cut was not suffici-
ent TO cause Mr.. Walden to lay of
and he took his run out as usual.

asked him to ride the horse. Scissor
vaulted into the saddle and as he did
SO the animal reared upwards aud fell

The Cattle Disease.

In answer to the cattle disease
scare, DR.. Paul Paquin, state veterin-
airy surgeon, mas telegraphed to Gov.
Francis as follows:

Mo-: My circular was needed to
counteract the ill-efects of injudicious
and erroneous newspaper articles, anu
for the peoples Instruction. The dis
ease was too scattered to be treated
otherwise. Secretary Rusk does
not know all the circum-
stances. | made only a state
ment of facts, and gave sanitary meas
ures and treatment to save our own
people from losses. | can not re-
tract, in justice to the afflicted. l
could scarcely have waited even if l
had known of pending negotiations,
which would certainly not hinder.
No more need of alarm than for colt
distemper. Too much ado will hurt
more abroad than our action or the
disease Itself, which is not fatal. The
disease is only in FIVE counties.

SUICIDE OR MURDER ?
The Finding OF Bottle Con
tanning a Drug REEVES
An Old Story.

1t will be remembered by the re-
aders of the BAzoo, some few months
ago, of the finding of body of man
in Banks's pasture about two miles
north of town, a full account of which
was published in this paper at the
time. Just how the man met his
death it has never been
determined, but some are
of the opinion that he was foully
dealt with by notorious woman, who
has lived in Sedalia for s,me time.
The finding of a vial, few days
ago, in the pasture near where the
dead man was found, containing a
small amount of laudanum, led some
to believe that it might be a case of
suicide, but careful perusal of the
throw different light on tRaeOeaaS se:
About week ago Mr.. Banks in
structed one of his employees. colored
man, to drive some hogs out of the
pasture, which he did, and on his re-
turn asked Mr.. Banks ifit had ever
been found out what killed
that man In his past
ure to which he replied in
the negative. The darkey then in
formed Mr.. Banks that he had picked
up bottle near where the dead mau
was found and set it up against a tree.
Some days latter Mr.. Banks himself,
passiry by the tree, saw the bottle,
and remembering what the darkey
had told him. picked it up and took |
it to the house. The bottle contained |
ust enough laudanum to tell what it
IS. Mr.. Banks brought the bottle to
his city and left it with w. E. Bard,
Who says it undoubtedly contsios
audanum. Mr.. Banks is of the opin-
IN that the bo- lie was placed there
or purpose and has nothing to do
WITH the killing of the dead man.

GODS PLAN.

The stream OF life re'er flows so calm
But some rock bars its way;
And many q heart hslf-broken lies,
Meath smiles which seemeth gay.
Our sorrows are the worst indeed,
Because we know them ours;
But hear the tale our Deighbors tell
Their often anguished hours.
And We can we'll believe not all
Of grief and fret and woe
To us do come, these touch all streams
That to Gods ocean flow.
And why and wherefore We shall know,
When safe at last the light
Shines from the barber Infinite
And maketh wrong things right.
