In 169O-201 years ago-a man
started the first newspaper in the
United States, called "Pubiic Occur
RANGES, in Boston, and in its first issue
the editor said:
"In our next subsequent issue we
will give full and complete list of
We liars in this town. We shall not
provide for or favor any who don't tell
the truth"
1t is needless to say that from a
force of circumstances not apparent
at this time, the "Public Occurances
suspended publication after the first
issue and volume 1, number 2, Of the
paper never appeared. 1t is quite
possible that he was waited on by snch
an army of liars, who said that they
would stop his paper, that rather than
to tell a fslsehood hieself the editor
concluded to suspend, thereby saving
himself the ignominy.
He quit.
The BAzoo hopes that Elder Myers
will not fall in a like trap and be com.
PEELED to desist from preaching. II
be crowds the liars in Sedalia too close

Captain ]. w. Anderson, Of Kan.
sas City, who spent last week as the
guest of Mr.. N. D. Chase, in Sedslia,
has already been mentioned in the
Gossip column. But here is another
one Of this gallant old siilurs sea
stories:
"l've had some thrilling experience
Once Just escaped q mutiny. W.
had sailed out Of an English port with
about twenty rough negro deck hand
and was somewhat suspicious o.
them all. We were all out to ses
when one night one of these men wa!
on the lookout A calling vessel
came into sight during the watch, ant
whether the fellow was at his post o.
down in the forecastle I don't know
but the fact of her appearance wa
not reported, and instead Of taking thu
part tack, as we ought, and SO passet
her, we kept on our course. l say
our danger just in time, however, ant
q collision was averted. We men a
sea are sometimes not as choice of oul
language as we ought to be, and
suppose l was not at the time ii
speaking to the negligent man on thu
lookout"
"Soon after 1 went down on thu
main deck one of these men
without warning stepped up to m
and, with one blow, felled ne to tn
deck. That was the only time l eve
fell on the deck of my own ship. ant
when 1 picked myself up l saw thes
twenty men all standing together, wit
a look I didn't like. 1t looked lik
mutiny and I knew it, and though
was armed I did not care TO 60 throug
with an experience which 1 kne,
would follow if 1 resented the insu
offered. Later I learned their PLAN
which we're to kill everyone else o
board, take possession Of the ship An
cargo and put for the nearest por1
} The knowledge Of this was not esPec1
ally comforting, as you may imagine
and the rest of our voyage was an.
thing but pleasant"
