The appointment of S. II. H. Clark as
general manager of the Union Pacific, in
addition TO his position as first vice presi-
dent and general manager of the Missou-
ri Pacific-lron Mountain system, says
the Globe-Democrat, puts more author
ity in his hands than is possessed by any
other railroad officer in the country; and
there is no other man, it is safe to say,
who is better qualified for such a great
trust

Every now and then some state paper
in the absence of anything else to say,
gives Wichita a whack over the result of
the late congressional election, taking
pains to say that the city went back
on It's candidate, and such like rot. If
all these smart Eleck critics would take
the trouble to look at the vote of the
district for the state ticket and congress
man, they would discover that "Wichi-
ta's candidate" run ahead of the state
ticket 1000 in the district, and proper
tionately in the city.

Some time ago the secretary Of the
treasury rendered q decision TO the effect
that certain classes of so-called waste
wool, which, it was claimed, was not
legitimate waste but was prepared to
evade the higher duties. and which had
been dutiable at the rate of 10 cents per
pound, was dutiable at 80 cents per
pound, says Bradstreet's. The United
States court at Cleveland has Just rem
dered decision in the case Of Mulhauser
ct al. VS.. Gary, in which the decision Of
the secretary has been overruled 50 far As
it relates to so-cslled ring waste. The
decision. however. does hot effect i'm
portations under the new tariff law.

The Very Latest.

From the New York Herald
A very desirable and sensible fashion
was started some time ago IN regard to
the christening gifts from godparents to
give teaspoon, and to announce the in
tention of repeating the gift on each
anniversary until dozen is complete,
then begin t. give some other kind of
spoon. By carrying out this idea, by the
time a girl is launched in society, en-
gagged and married, she will have quite a
store of silver, endeared by association.
If the child is a boy, after the first gift
of piece of silver the anniversary is to
be remembered with the presentation of
a gold coin.

The new constitution of Kentucky con-

Woman suffrage is not growing
power in Massachusetts,. Over there the
women have the privilege of voting for
members of the school board In Bos-
ton, in 1888, over 10000 women regis
tered TO vote under the provisions of
that law. Last year only 10000 were
thus registered, and this year the num-
her fell to 5000 Those who have de-
clared that women do not care to exer-

strong argument in support of their
views in this Boston record.

that Whoop is backed by the New York

Beaten by a Technicality.

From the Atchson Patriot.
The Republicans of Quincy. ILL.,, dis
trict elected one George c. McChrone to
the legislature. The Democrats propose
to contest on the ground that McChrone
is not eligible for the reason that he is
not citizen of the state. The laws of
Illinois say that to be member of the
legislature he must have resided in the
state five years. In 1887 McChrone was
a resident of Wichita, Kan, and was ap-
pointed notary public by Governor
Martin. Attorney General Kellogg says
that the fact that McChrone was appoint
ed notary public implies that he was a
citizen of the state at the time.

TOWN TALK.
A Sedalia Young Lady Who Is
Being Referred to q Good
Deal Out of Town.

For several days past the st. Louis pa
pers have contained references to young
lady of $edalia who is now an inmate of
lying-in hospital in that city.
The BAzoo has refrained from
making any allusion to the case for the
reason that the parties concerned were
we'll known in the city although all the
facts regarding the matter have been cog
infant in the Office. 1t has however leaked
out through other sources and yesterday
was common talk on the streets. The
young lady created quite q spead on the
streets of the city last summe. by her hashy
apparel and constant parading and was
known as a high flyer of the 6rst degree.
The young man concerned is also prom
inent individual and largely scqusinted.
Every feature of the case is well known
and if other developments are made, it
may be givea as q matter OF news. The
BAzoo will not say whether or not any
future publications will be made, tbut the
public may rest assured that as usual,
information, if important, will be given.

Already arrangements are being made
for the early commencement of work
and there will be a big demand for
labor all during the year. Sedalia's
future is without doubt promising and
if the proposed Sabine Pass and Dull
nth railroad is assured it will infinitely
benefit the section" Such opinions
are held oy all who are in position
to judge of the signs of the times and
it may be depended on for certainty
that the coming season will be an es-

OUGHT TO HAVE A NINE.
What a Stranger Thinks of the
Proposed Base Ball Team i'm
Sedalia.

Mr.. H. N. Burke, representing the
well known sporting goods house of
A. g. Spalding & Bro. and E. G.
Cook d Bro. of Chicago, is staying
over Sunday at the LIE Grande.
Talking with BAzoo reporter in re-
gard to the base ball outlook in the
"Windy City" for the coming season,
Mr.. Burke said that it would
be great year. With two such gen.
erals as Anson and Comiskey to cap.
tain rival teams it might be depended
on that the public interest would be
at fever heat. Both clubs are using
every endeavor to get together mines
that will do work of the very first
nature. Speaking of Sedalia joining
the Missouri and Kansas League he
thought there would be money in it
for stockholders in such an invest.
ment.
There were good players here, the
city is centrally located, and there are
many lovers of the game resident.
Mr.. Burke said the interest in the
national game was growing not only
10 this country, but all over the
world.
