Tuscan and Ionic. The high Ere nch
windows with Babylonian foliations,
the hood-mouldings together with the
artistic Pompeii brackets produce an
effect which is indescribably beautiful.
The cantilever roof is set off with rows
of pinnacle-like chimneys and in
order to have them appear more
unique the architect had them set at
different angles, making the perspect-
i've bewiideringly delightful.
The surroundings of the city hos
pital are in unison with the grandeur
of the building, yet of a pastoral
nature. On the terraced lawns deer

In wild abandon, and around the walls
of the hospital beautiful vermifnge
nod and bend their graceful stalks
and leaves at every breath of gentle
winds. Along the edge of the
south lawn babbling brook

archs of the forest of The Devonian
period. The view, in its entirely
from College Heights, is a picture
which the lovers of romantic scenery
drink in with an lntoxication, purely
esthetical.
INTERIOR OF HOSPITAL.
As much as the visitor may admire
the exterior he will be surprised by
the superlative beauty of the interior;
at the accommodations provided for
the sick and the wounded. The hos.
pital is divided into three rooms { for
convenience sake) the larger of which
is the whole of the west half of the
building. In this room the comforts
of life in hospital are seen to the best
advantage. There are no cots or beds
with snow white counterpanes and
downy pillows to be seen. Such OBJ
jects would be entirely out of place as

One Of the most handsome ediices
In Sedalia, the one above all others in
which the pride of the Queen City is
centered, is located in the northern
part of the Future Capital and just
west of the Silent city of the dead.
The choice of the site Of this besu'iful
structure was most unfortunate,
but probably at the time of the selec.
ton it was considered advantageous.
Surrounded by high elevations this
noble piece of architecture is now hid

from boyhood was thoroughly &C.

territory known on the maps as Pe,tis

visitors and sightseers is Cowpath's

A PARTNERSHIP BUILDING.
One half of the funds for the erect.
! ion of the city hospital was furnished
by the NJ, K. & T. railway company
and the city generously provided the
other half. 1t ives originally intended
fer the reception of smsl -pox subjects

THE FIRST PATIENT
The first person to receive treat
ment at the hospital was a young
man from Texas, who was supposed
to be suffering from yellow fever. The
fever in time developed into a genu-
inc case of jaundice and the patient
was removed by his mother TO her
home in Ohio.
John Anderson was the first one to
die at the hospital. He was a section
hand on the Missouri Pacific railroad
and had been run over by a train.
He died on the d'y of his reception.

The declaration was filed in the CIR

Seeley and Blake, attorneys for plain
tiff. Jansen has also filed an affidavit
to prosecute as poor person.
About two years ago Jansen was in

the cement company. He was EN-

the accident was mining cement
Other employees of the company were
working in an adjoining room, blast

alleged, he was injured internally, and
has since been unable to do any heavy
work, hence the suit. Jansen is a

TaaCherA' Association.

A meeting of the executive board of
the La Sale county Teachers Asso
citation was held at the high schOo
Saturday morning. The president
Prof. William Jenkins, of Mendoza
said that he had called the meeting
for discussing the best plan for organ
izing the Reading Circle work in La
Sale county. This work consists OF
the regularity either individually or in
circles, of a course of reading laid out
by the State Committee, and usually
consisting Of some professional work,
and some one or two good books for
general culture, the purpose being tC
improve both professionally and in a
general way the whole body of teach
ers. This work has been done with
great success in many of the counties
of this state, but so far nothing has
been done with it in La Sale county.
After talking the matter over, it
was decided to call a meeting of the
teachers, present the subject to all and
see if this work could not be done
here also. Such meeting will be
held in Ottawa early in March. The
program will be duly announced. All
teachers who can are most cordially
invited to be present.
