In 1886 The pioneers of 1880
formed an organization at Boonville,
Cooper county, known as the Cali

As this organization would become
extinct with the death of all the
members, and desiring to perpetuate
its memory, it was in the fall OF 1889,
consolidated with the "Old-Timsrs'

Peitis, Morgan aud Moniteau, who

A BURGLAR CAPTURED.
Jimmie Neal Finds a Burglar in
His Room and Holds the
Fellow.

About IL o'clock this forenoon,
James w. Neal entered the residence
of his mother, sos East Third street,
and proceeded to his room for the
purpose of packing his trunk
preparatory to taking his de
parture fro Syracuse, his new
home. Upon opening the door,
he Discovers q fellow in the act
of making up a bundle of clothing to
carry away. Jimmie closed in on the
marauder and held him prisoner un-
til Constable Smith could be tel. 8
phoned, and turned the man over to
the officer upon bis arrival.
The man gave bis name as John
Some. He is trampish looking in
dividual, about % years of sge, and
has been lying around town for several
days. His excuse for being in
the room was that he
had gotten into trouble with
another fellow at the round house
over a jug of wbiskey, and the man
had taken after him with q revolver.
Fearing he would be shot, Stone says,
be took refuge in Mrs. Meals resi-
dence. Justice Blair placed him
under Q $500 bond to appear to-mor-
row morning for trial. He was then
placed where he will be in no danger
of being shot.
Jimmie Neal will probably dever
bis trip to Syracuse until the trial
is over. He deserves great credit for
his presence ofmind and courage as he
has done for Sedalia more than her
officers have done. Now one of the
gang is in the tolls, the capture of the
remainder is only a matter of q few
days, as the companions. who have
been seen associating with Stone, are
now known to the officers and they will
be placed under surveillance.

Couidn'td DO without Her.

If there were no women, men
would have no object in life; their
mustaches would cease to interest
them they would not care a China
man whether their collars were ironed
we'll or not they would have nobody
to nurse them when they had the
toothache, or to keep them from be-
lieving they were going to die when
an old fashioned stomach-ache had it's
grip upon them. There would be
nobody to make ice cream for, and
no small edition of flesh and blood to
hug. There would be nobody to fight
against being kissed and then to
snuggle up to coat sleeve and to
take to it as naturally as a cat does
cream. Most important of al, there
would be nobody to write against, to
complain of and to love with all your
heart and soul. Without her man
would never get to heaven, aud with
out them they would never have a
taste ofthe other place on earth. So,
if Tom has any sense whatever, he'll
put his arm around the woman he is
fondest of, thank the good Lord for
her, and wonder, as she does, what in
the world he'd do without her.

Nevada Wants AZ.

Now this day personally appeareth
before the people, one City of Nevada,
and under oath the said city deposes
and says she must have the McCor-
mick Machine works. The citizens of
Nevada are energetic, pushing people,
and were it not for the fact that Sc
dalia going to get the works, Nevada
would undoubtedly stand a pretty
good show. But the capitalists of
this city have organized, and money
is being subscribed for this purpose,
and it can be safely ssid, that when
the Mccormick Machine works leaves
Chicago, they will cone directly to
Sedalia.

Thief Caught i'm the Act

The neighborhood of West Seventh

suspicious character whose depreda-

days ago Miss Majors was passing
through that vicinity and accidentally
dropped her gloves. Shortly after
she missed them, aud returning,
discovered them in the possession of
this rascal, who got them in his mouth,
all but the tip ends of the fingers.
On account of his threaten
ing appearance she hurried
away. He was described of as
a hard looking tough with long, gray
goatee on his chin. But to-day be
was caught dead to rights. In the
absence for a few minutes of Mrs.
Smith, he boldly walked into her res
idence and proceeded to make himself
at home. On Mrs. Smiths return,
she discovered him in one corner of
the room, calmly chewing up her par
asol. She got the broom and Mr..
Billy Goat had to get move on him.

An Amusing Trial.

One of the most amusing cases ever
yet tried in the police court was
called this morning. Dan Kid, col.
ored, filed charges against Liza Mar.
tin also colored, his sister-in-law for
disturbing bis peace. Liza appeared
and plead not guilty. Dan was called
to the stand to state the nature of her
ofense. Now in his coolest moments
Dan cannot talk two minutes without
suffering and when called to the wit
ness stand bis excitement was so great
that his efforts to relate the circum.
stances were so ridicular that the
court and spectators were convulsed
with laughter. 1t was simply impos
sible to maintain order, when the
judge himself was in roar. Poor
Dan became more and more perplexed
as the crowd laughed, and became
so confused he could not talk at all.
Liza then took the stand, and be-
ing rather frightened, she began a
harangue that was impossible to
check. The attorney told her to
stop, and the court called for halt,
but on, on, she went /;
now in tears and now in anger. She
finally trotted in under the wire with
a strong plea of her long acquaintance
with the judge, and begged to be al.
lowed to depart in peace for the sake
of her son. The already conyulsed
audience kept in constant roar du-
ring her recital Of her woes, and the
invictives she used. Her tale of
picking gooseberries, and the final
eliminating plot of the same, was re-
peated over and over again.
Mrs. Martin is a confirmed inebre-
ate, but her mind is undoubtedly un-
balanced. In Kansas City a short
time ago, she was seized with VIOLENT
enthusiasm and harangued the crowds
that would gather around her on the
streets. She was allowed to depart in
peace this morning, on condition that
she would not bother DAVIS family any
more

WHY NOT SEDALlA ?
The Mccormick Harvesting Ma.
chine Works to Leave Chi
cagO.

The Mccormick Machine works
have decided to leave Chicago on &C
connt of the lab5r troubles that con
stantly harrsss them in that city.
They have been contemplating this
move ever since the anarchists at
attempt to destroy their plant in May,
1886, but the last eight-hour
movement and striking laborers
have fully determined then TO leave
that hot bed of anarchy and strife.
They desire to take their vast plant,
worth nearly $1,000, 900 to city of
less metropolitan proportions and less
strife among the employees.
No city in the United States pre-
sents the same facilities to this vast
manufacturing company that Sedalia
does. This city is the very heart ofthe
agricultural district Of the United
States. Surrounding is one vast field of
grain. Reaching as far west as Colo
RADIO, as far north as the British Pos.
sessions, as far east as the Allegheny
mountains, and as far south as the
gulf, the Bonded heads of growing
grain make one vast ocean of golden
pillows. The very center of this
world of wealth is Sedslia. And the
mighty iron arms of two of the great.
est railroad systems on earth reach
out and touch almost every point.
Here is coal, iron and all the pro-
ducts of nature which they will re-
quire, within easy reach here grows
the timber, which they absolutely
require and are now compelled to ship
from long distances, and here is water
In plenty to run their mammoth
shops. And here there are no strik-
ers and dynamitor was never heard
of. Here the laborer tolls
cheertully along his path of
life. Dissatisfaction, disruption
the tearing asunder of the peaceful
bonds of harmony that should exist
between the employer and his men,
is one of the unknown elements in
the thriving city of Sedalia.
Now let the citizens work. Do
not let the blue badge worn, be the
extent of the work. Every one is
vitality interested in this scheme and
now is the time for action. With
this three million dollar plant in Sc
dalia, there is no reason why the city
should not reach $4,000 Inhabitants
IN two years. This. together with
the capital removal, will soon place
Sedalia in the rank of the leading
cities of Missouri. Let all unite in
the great work. Arouse the latent
fire of enthusiasm and work as was
never worked before.
