RODNAN'S REMARKS.
A Kansas City ''BOOmer" Has
Many Complimentary Words
for Sedalia.

Mr.. III. J. Rodman, one of the man,
hus,lers from Kansas City, dropped
into Sedalia to-day ON business, when
the BAzoo caught his ear for mo
ment.
He is well known in this city and
throughout the west and has made the
growth and prospective prosperity OF
towss study. Being asked how Sc
dalia appeared, he replied:
81 have been in this city off and on
for the past twelve years. but this
brief view demonstrates that hard
times are not among you.
1.-The fact Of letting contracts for
street paving and public work demon
strates that the taxpayer is in posi-
tion to stand it, and that the town
has grown up to that point and
that such demands must be
met. 1t is the first sign of positive
and permanent prosperity
Chow do the indications strike me?
Why, bless you, town that can in
few months pave miles of streets, put
in thousands of feet of sewers, plant
trees, erect buildings off of the main
streets and put into successful opera
ton an electric motor Car line to af-
ford quick and rapid transpo tation
for its own and the growing popula-
ton, needs no particular commends-
ton at my hands, for the least observ-
ing eLo~ld ea.ai. by those aar marks
of grit that the reputation which Sc
dalia has always borne, as Missour7s
greatest inland city, has been loyalty
sustained.
There is one point, however, that
these good people must make up their
minds to do, and that is to support,
maintain and patronize your home
manufactures. No matter how great
your wholesale or jobbing business
may be, the fresh blood is only
brought into contact with the COM
mercial pulsation by locating new In
dustrial enterprises, see that they are |
supported, which will enable them to |
employ dozens of skilled laborers,
where but few now do the work. |
Smoke rolling up from scores of stacks |
are brisk fingers which point to the |
investor, capitalist and homeseeker
where his opportunity lies. You are
on the right road. Grit, greenbacks
and gumption build town, and it |
locks to me as if you had them here"

John Paul. the Suspect.

The old man, arr, sted by Sheriff
Smith on Sunday on the charge of
vagrancy, a full account of which
was published 10 Mondays BAzoo,
had a hearing in Justice Fishers
court this morning. He said his
pame was John Paul. He gave a
rambling account of himself, and after
he made his statement he was closely
cross examined by Justice Fisher but
the old man shrewdly avoided trap
ping himself. He said he had, at one
time, been con6oed in a lunitic
asylum at Olympia, Wash, but had
been cured. His mission, now,
he claimed, was to
bn-t Io---, n 10 ISl -. G.. -
and burned building at Monticello,
Illinois. When asked if be had any
authority to arrest his man if he found
him, he replied that he had. that his
was greater than any in this
state and was from God. Paul was
fined 500 and costs and sent back to
Jail.
1t is the opinion of a mum.
Der of persons who
have cOnversed with Paul that he is
playing part and that he is fugi-
tive from justice. A few, however,
are inclined to think he is but few
steps removed from insanity. Justice
Fisher says he thinks the man is
wanted somewhere for @ crime COM
mitted and classes him as dangerous
man. Sheriff Smith is undecided as
to what the mental condition of the
man is.
