"Did you know" remarked a
prominent minister to the Gossiper,
'that this is q great church-going
community. Nearly every Sabbath
the commodious buildings dedicated to
the worship Of God, are Fl led. And,
besides, Sedalia has expended more in
the erection Of churches than any city
of similar size in the west. They are
all in a flourshing condition and the
members az well as outsiders are very
liberal in their contributions. What
ever else Sedalia may be, it is no
SodOm or Gomorrah."
''Chloroform has different effect
upon persons of different nationalities"
said a physician to the Gossiper, yes
terday. "The Irishman. when under
the influence of chloroform grows vio-
lent, aud is very hard to manage.
The German takes things very easy,
and 10 easier handled than persons Of
any other nationality. The French
m a n Anas q great deal VI lalkIng and
throws his limbs around considerable
but soon weakens and becomes docile.
The American is a good deal like the
Irishman. and exhibits his strong
characteristic that of having his own
way"
st is just this way said a plain,
sensible farmer, yesterday to the Cos
siper. 81 am a member of the ALI
ance. l believe in its principles and
think that an organization of the kind
is just as necessary for the farmer as it
is for any trade or profession. At the
same time, when 1 joined the Alliance
1 didn't presume for a moment that
they would attempt to make the con-
Germ q political organization. The
majority of the farmers Of this state,
at least, want to keep this organiza-
ton aloef from politics, and they will
either do that or wreck the Alliance.
If a few loud-mouthed blatherskites
think they can lead the farmers of
Missouri around by the ear, they will
soon find how badly mistaken they
are"
Mr.. John Singleton, of Dayton,
Ohio, a merchant of thit city Is in
Sedalia on a visit to a relative. He
was present at the "meeiin of the
political giants" at Ada, Ohio, last
Thursday, and to the Gossiper said /;
ut was the largest aud most enthusi-
astlc meeting l ever attended and was
pretty evenly divided politically.
Notwithstanding the intense partisan
ship there was absolutely NO bad FEEL
ing manifested. From the two great
candidates down to the humblest fol-
lower there seemed good feeling
socially, but politically, great Lord,
how they fought each other inch by
inch. There must have been 10000
people present. Who got the best Of
| the argument ? Well, ask any demo,
crat and he will tell you the laurels
rest with Gov. Campbell. Ask
republican the same question, and he
will be equally emphatic in the aser'
ton that Maj. Mckinley carried OF
the honors."
