DEMOCRATIC ORATORS.
Arranging for the Reception of
Congressman Mills and
Breckenridge.

There was an enthusiastic meeting
of the prominent demo Eats OF this city
at the court house last evening for the
purpose OF making arrangements f"r
The grand demonstration to he held
10 Sed ilia ON July q.
Col. Thomas Z. Hoy was elected
chairman of the meeting and A. G.
Baldwin secretary. Col Hoy briefly
Ell the object of the meeting, viz:
To make arrangements for the recep,
ton and entertainment of The dis
tinguished visitors while in the city,
and for the purpose of making ample
preparations for the reception Of the
thousands of citizens of Pettis
and adjoining counties whe are ex-
pected to be present.
On motion an executive committee,
consisting of Mayor Stevens,
chairman; Judge j. n. Dali
by, Geo. P. B. Jackson, Edward
Hurley and Hon w. D. STEELE, was
appointed by the chairman. This
committee was given full power to
make all necessary arrangements, and
to appoint ss manv sub committees as
would be required to make the dem
onstration a complete success.
Mayor S evens stated that Associa-
ton park had been offered free of
charge for the meeting and that he
had made arrangements for speak
er's stand, which is to be erected in
front of the raj d stand.
During the day and a; The meeting
the mayor received subscriptions to
the amount of Sl33 90. an0 IS much
more Con easily be raised as will be
required.
The mayor also stated that he be-
lieved that the railr, ads would make a
one-fare rate for the round trip from
any point in the state. If they d d
that, preparations would have to be
made for from 5000 to 5000 visitors
from adjourning counties
Secretary Baldwin read commu-
nication from the Owsle, Mo-, Tariff
Club, in which they expressed a desire
to be present.
The great meeting will be he'd in
Association park, one of the most de-
lightful pleasure resorts and picnic
grounds in Central Missouri, and falm-
ers will find free accommodations
for their teams. As the impression
has gone abroad that an admission fee
will be charged it may be sid here
that the admission to the park
will be free and all Witt
Gus to Sedalia will receive q cordial
welcome.
Congressman Roger @. Mills is a
plain, torcible speaker, who inspires
and arouses an audience as probably
no other man in public life does. His
name is a household word in every
democratic family in this country, and
his presence in Sedalia will probably
draw the largest crowd ever assem-
here for years. Congressman Breck-
enridge is one of the most fervid and
eloquent orators in public life, and his
attendance at this time is looked
upon as a privilege that will not
soon, if ever, be again enjoyed by the
people of this section of the state.

HE WORE A BUSTLE.
He Wore 1t as Shoulder Protection
While Carrying Coal.

He Wore 1t as Shoulder Protection
While Carrying Coal.
Some Norwich boys found a wOman's hustle
last week, and, being inspired by some lower
power, put it in coal carriers basket In
place of the canvas shoulder pad he had been
accustomed to use. When the coal carrier
went out the next morning with his first load
of coal his eye fell upon the strange thing for
which he had no name.
"Phat is this, Moikes" he said to the driver;
and although both of them were family men
they were sorely puzzled. Mike replied:
"Sure. I dunno. never seed the likes of it
beforeI'
Not finding his shoulder protector, the coal
carrier saw in it q novel substitute for it, and
he said:
"Begorra, Moike, I have It'll This is a
patent shoulder piece the boss has got mel"
and he put the old hustle on his shoulder.
and finding that it was a fair fit, tied the
string around his neck He worked with the
new shoulder protector all day to the amuse-
ment of all who recognized the hustle in such
high use. Pat noticed that the new pro-
tector made him a source of considerable
curiosity, but he did not learn the truth until
he showed it to the boss in the evening,
when, thanking him for the gift, he said:
ssThe inventor Of this meant well, but he
never carried coal These wire cords are that
narrer that they cut like a knife; but, be-
gorrra, the thort is good one, and can
make one ov it that'n worrukI"
His employer informed him that he had
been subjected to practical joke; that his
shoulder protector was hustle that had
seen its day and been laid away.
Mike, the driver, smiled, and said: cts
never seen a greater day than this. Twenty
tons ov coal have been onto it. I'll bet bet
ter man niver wore one than Pat Donegan."

Married in a Depot.

Charley Joralemon, the popular
doorkeeper in the ladies' waiting room
at the Union station, tells of an anus
ing incident, not without its pathetic
side, which occurred there not very
long ago. A Journal man was chatting
with him this morning in regard to a
couple Enthusiastically newly marrie0
who had passed out to their train a
moment before, when he remarked:
Zone of the funniest things of that
kind that ever happened here was a
few months ago when a couple were
married here in the waiting room.
They had been here for good while
and appeared to be very affectionate;
we are all quite accustomed to that sort
of thing here, and hardly noticed
them until minister appeared on the
scene and babe them stand up. Then
we all came closer and stood by while
the couple were made man and wife.
They were Germans and seemed to
take it as quite in the ordinary run of
things. When the ceremony was over
the minister went away and the BRIDE
bought tickets and engaged berths to
Chicago-she evidently managed the
Doodle for the establishments
when their train went out they went
with it, as happy as a couple of chill
dren. "-Albany Journal.

Recommendation.

That Constantinople is today Mo-
hammedan and not Christian is due
to the genius of the Turkish sultan,
Mohammed II, son of Amurath II, who
was born at Adrianople March "a,
14S0. His father and grandfather had
by successive conquests reduced the
Greek empire to the limits of Con-
stantinople ITSELF When Mohammed
became sultan in 1850 he determined
to complete the work of conquest by
the capture Of that city. The siege
was commenced April 6, 1853, with an
army of 258, 900 men and fleet of 800
vessels. The Greeks, assisted by gal
liant band of 1900 Genoese, made an
obstinate resistance. Although COM
bined attack by land and sea made on
the following 29th of May was unsuc-
cessful, the Genoese chieftain, Justi-
miami, was wounded so severely that
he had to retire from the rampant.
This produced a panic in the city, and
a second Turkish assault, led by the
sultan himself, proved irresistible.
Constantine the XIII, the Greek en-
peror, was slain, and the Turks poured
into the city. Mohammed II COM
pleted the conquest of all the territory
subsequently, known as Turkey in Eu-
rope, Greece, the Mediterranean islands
and Crimea, and died in 1491.-Phila-

He Kent an Eve on the Plate.


A special collection was announced
for the day in Scotch church, but as
the purse strings of the old farmers
were known to be pretty tightly tied
the collection was to be taken up in the
old fashioned ladle after the delivery OF
a stirring discourse on giving and the
excellencies of the scheme in question
About the middle of the sermon the
minister, happening to look out of the
window, spied a COW wading about in
the adjoining cornfield Turning to-
ward one of the side seats, where sat
the owner of the corn, and presumably
of the COW also, he stopped his sermon
and said: "Rab Stevenson, there's a COO
vast yonder frae the kirk up to the
horns amang yer corn. Ye'd better
look after't at once"
Up sprang Rab, seized his long haired
lum hat and stick, and made for the
door, while the minister calmly took up
the thread of his discourse. AS Rab
reached the door the minister stopped
again and sang out: ''By the by, Rab,
yell better jist leave the collection wi
the beadle in case you dinna get back
again" 1t is confidently stated that
the ladle profited more by Rab on that
occasion than it would otherwise have
done, and no wonder. Few, unless to-
tally bankrupt, would have had the
hardihood to pass without drawing the
purse after such a hint Chicago

Wounded Eagle.

A wounded or enraged eagle is an
ugly antagonist. L. G. Brinkman, of
Burlington, had an encounter with a
wounded eagle not long ago, which he
does not care to repeat. While hunt
ing, he fired at the eagle and broke the
birds wing. but did not otherwise in
jure it.
Expecting to make an easy capture
OF his prize, he went forward. To his
surprise, the eagle flew at his face,
aid had he not warded it off with his
arm, his eyes would have been put
out by the savage bird. AS it was, it
gripped his arm, and, despite his eff
forts to free himself, he could not
shake the eagle off.
1t struck at him with its sound
wing, dug its sharp talons through
his clothing into his arm, and used its
beak most viciously. He called to his
friends, short distance away. They
came and killed the bird, and then
pried its claws out of the flesh of his
forearm and leg, which was badly la
cerated.
Mr.. Brinkman's wounds were quite
serious. He will bear the scars for
many day.-Youth's COMPANION.

Queer Trees.

Among the queer things in Connec-
ticut are its trees. Up in Middletown
it was necessary to cut down a tree in
the rear of Outings cigar store; Sew
eral bricks were found imbedded In
the roots, so that only the corners were
visible.
Over in Cobalt large and particu-
larly straight tree was felled and drawn
to the sawmill. After starting the saw
the attendant heard a grating of the
saw teeth, and stopped the mill. He
tried another cut but again the graf
ing sound was heard, and he had to
shut down again. Several further at
tempts to saw the length of the log
proving futile the trunk was sawed
across and an old log chain and a
dozen harrow teeth were discovered
imbedded in the hard grained wood.
In Westfield a bowlder weighing
over half ton is to be seen about ten
feet from the ground in the crotch of an
enormous apple tree, and old residents
say that they can remember when that
bowlder could be sat upon, so near to
the ground was it when they were
young.
A Saybrook farmer tells the story
about his hanging his scythe in a
maple tree several years ago. after a
days moving. The scythe was left
there all winter and the next summer,
until the time for haying came around
again. On going to get the scythe he
found the blade so deeply imbedded in
the soft bark of the maple as to be i'm
movable, and he let it remain. The
tree is still standing in the front yard
of fashionable residence in that vii
lage, and from each side of the trunk
project two arms, forming letter Z,
apparently part of the tree themselves.

scythe years ago rotted of.-New

Two Kinds of Men.

The Arabs have no little knowledge of
the precepts of Christianity, and much
respect for them, but they occasionally
add to them observations of their own.
cit was a noble command of the Man
of Nazareth says one of their moralists,
'that men should love their enemies, and
do good to those who hate them.
eff all men were able to follow this
precept, soon there would be no enemies
for us to love, nor despisers of ourselves
to whom we could do good.
''In this weak world we may, perhaps.
succeed in doing no more than this: so
to control our thoughts that we shall love
our friends more than we hate our enc
mics.
'For there be in the world now two
kinds of men, to wit: those who love
their friends more than they hate their
enemies, and those who hate their enc
mics more than they love their friends
'Of the first of these there is hope, and
we may live with them; but the second
we should fly, as the Bedouin flies the red
curtain of the sky behind which the 81
moon advances. youths Companion.

How Thew Moved IT.

Here is another of the stories which
the people of Journalists, in Belgium,
tell at the expense of their neighbors OF
the prosperous village of Vezon:
At one time-the morning of a holi.
day-the male inhabitants Of Vezon
were discovered in a great state of par
ley and perplexity iu field close by
the village church They had come
out with a strong resolve to play bal,
and had discovered that the field was
t"o narrow.
"Ah," said the burgomaster, there
comes Peter Corbeau, who made the
mistake of studying to be lawyer. He
is wise in devices; he shall decide what
we shall do"
Master Corbeau looked over the situa-
ton. ''There is nothing to do but to
move the church." he said.
So the villagers all took off theil
jackets and threw them down in a heap;
and to determine how far they must
push the church they measured the dis
lance from the heap Of jackets to the
church and found it to be exactly ten
yards. Then they all braced them
selves against the church and pushed
with might and main.
Toward noon they stopped for rest
and to gather strength for further push
ing But somebody now measured the
distance from the pile of jackets and
discovered that happily it was not nee
essary to push any more, because the
measurement showed that the church
had been moved back ten yards.
Then they fell to their game of bal
and did not find out for some time that
while they were hard at work pushing
at the church a mischievous inhabitant
of Tournasis, who happened to pass,
had moved back the pile of jackets!-
