in speaking to fireman ye:ier lay
the Gossiper learned th-t in the first
place Sedalia, for several years past,
has been extremely fortunate as re-
CARDS the destruction of property by
fire. There have teen quite ium-
Der of alarms recently" ne continued,
"but almost invariably they have re-

"The proposition that will be sub
mittei for building a new Jail, said
level headed farmer from the Lamon'e
neighborhood, SHOULD not NEE, with
any opposition. The present build
ing is simply disgrace to the county.

owe cent on it, and my taxes are
pad just as soon as the l.
lector has entered it on his books
But am more than willing to stand
the little additional expense necessary
for the construction of new Jail"
Speaking of marriages" said JUS
tice Blair. "I'll never forget the night
/ married Sam Thomas at BjouvIile
about twenty years ago. 1t was
runaway match and they came holly
riiing to the house just about mid
night and l walked up my wife and
mother-in law to be witnesses of the
affair. About an hour after the
marriage the father and BROTHER 10
law of the ,irl came in hot pursuit
and were as mad rs blixen when |
tod them the deed bad been done.
The Texline Courier. published by
H. w. Schnfeld at Texllne Texas, is
a new publication which is being sent
to the BAzoo. Among the advertise
meuts, the Gossiper recognizes the
name of Homer Z. Byler, formerly
of this city. Homer is engaged in
keeping a boot, shoe dry goods and
clothing store at Texline, and is
evidently doing large and suce sssfui
business. He is one of Sedalia's
popular sons and his many friends
here will be glad TO know something
of his welfare and prosperity.
County Clerk Tom Mitchum and
by the way, one of the most deserved'y
popular and Efficient officers the
county has ever had-returned this
morning from trip to st. Louis,
Chicago ard other points east of here.
Mr.. Mitchum says there is an army
of w"rkmen eng 'ged in the work on
the Worlds fair buildings, and that
Chicago is enthusiastic over the pros
pect of holding The finest fair ever
known in the annals of the world.
Asked 10 reference to the speakership
of congress, Mr.. Mitchum seemed to
think that sentiment in favor of Mr..
Mills.
1t seems to be pretty well settled
now that the case of the state of Mis-
souri, VS. Ex- State Treasurer Ed. I.
holland will not come before the su-
preme court before the April term
and, consequently. it may not be dis,
posed of before June, or even later,
The case was not docketed until the
October term hsd commenced and
was well under way, so it could not
properly be advanced as term case
when it was not on the docket, and
more especially if any objection should
be raised. The case can properly be
called up and advanced in April and
Attorney Gen. Wood will file such a
motion before The court dt that time.
State superintendent of Schools l..
E. Wolfe, was in the city for short
time yesterday. He was en- route 10
Jefferson City from ST. Joseph, where
he had been in attendance at the meet
ing of the Missouri Worlds fair COM
mission. Speaking of the educ ,tional
interests of the att. the superintend-
ent said TO the Gossiper : 81 am very
much encouraged at the work now
being done ty the public schools of
Missouri, and all reports coming to
me are of most fa,Iering character.
The public schools of this cJmmon-
wealth will compare most
favorably with those of any
other state in the union. As regards
the success of Library Day. |
have as yet received but few reports.
but these indicate very successful
issue. In a day or two | hope to
send the BAzoo an excellent report
on several matters connected with the
schools of Missouri"
