AMONG THE HINDOOS.
That's What Miss Ada Boyd, of
India, Talked About Last
Night.

A slight little lady, with pleasant
face, brown eyes and wavy hair,
streaked with gray and reached back
from her temples, was what BAZoo
representative saw, when he entered
the parlOr at the Kaiser last night, in
response to a card he had sent up to
Miss Ada Boyd, of India. Some
eight years ago Miss Boyd went to far
off India from Herodsburg, Kentucky,
as a missionary of the Christian
Church. She has suffered the hard
ships of an India climate and COM
partnership of the Hindoos for that
period, except within the last six
months, during which time she has
been in this country taking rest from
her ardorous duties. She is a very
intelligent laE with perceptiveness
for the odd things of that very odd
country, and she came home fully able
to tell her friends all about them.
She has made study of sanscrit and
is very much in love with its classic
traditions, its splendid literature and
beautiful poetry. She says the English
and the Americans have a wrong
conception of the intelligence of the
Hindoos. That they are a far superior
race of people to the Indians of our
country, and that Christianity is fast
making encroachments on the idol
worship of centuries, more so, she
thinks, than the Hindoos themselves
are aware of, or care to acknowledge.
She believes that the time will soon
come when all India will acknowledge
the Christian religion. There are
parts of the country at this time how
ever. in which missionaries are not
admitted, that is, in the provinces
where Mohammedanism holds its
sway and the Koran is the guide book
of the soul.
Miss Boyd has seen the wonderful
snake charmer perform his feats and
considers them more skillful, even,
than those of the Indian jugglers.
She relates an incident in her own ca
reer of how one evening Just after
twilight she was walking down s. path
through the jungle and on her return
to her bungalo she saw something in
the path which she at first thought
was seam in the earth. This seemed
strange to her as she did not remem-
Der having seen it as she went down.
She stopped a moment and saw it
move. She then returned by another
route, and calling the servants, they
killed cobra which was over six feet
in length. A snake charmer heard of
it and going on the theory that snakes
always travel in pairs, commenced
the weird music, on his peculiar wind
Instrument and sure enough the CO.
bro showed itself in the hedge.
Commercially she believes that In
dia will be a strong and successful RI
val of America in English markets.
That the country is capable of pro.
ducing the products of the north and
of the tropics and that the natives are
fast learning the ways of the civilized
world.
Miss Boyd has consented to give q
few lectures on her work and will tell
the people Sedalia of her trials, at the
Christian church at 4 o'clock this af-
ternoon. She has with her beautiful
collection of Indian workmanship that
she exhibits at her lectures.

THE VOTING CONTEST.
Its Moving Along in a Merry
Fashion.

The BAzOo voting contest is going
on merrily and is attracting much
attention. The pupils are taking a
great deal of interest in their favorite
teachers and it is safe to predict that
before the time for the voting expires
it will become spirited.
The following is the vote as it
stands to-day. 1t will be seen that
Miss Gold is ahead and as the count
was conducted by entirely disinter-
ested parties, not the slightest de-
ception has been used or will under
any circumstances be allowable. The
friends of the contestants should put
in some good work this week and as
the result will be printed from day to
day, the daily BAzoo should be care

RAILROAD.
Derailment of the Engine Tender
Delays Supt. Diekins0n's Trip
Over the Southwestern
Branch.

Supt. A. w. Dickinson's special
train, which arrived here from the
west late Thursday afternoon, went
out on the southwestern branch that
night, but had only proceeded a few
miles beyond Scruggs' station when
the tender of the engine left the track
and the special was in fix. 1t was
miles to the nearest telegraph station
and the tie train was supposed to
happen along at any time, and prac-
teal railroading long since demon
strated that it is bad policy for
two trains to attempt to pass erch 9TH
er on single track. There was tel
egraph instrument on board the train
and Supt. III. G. Clark is an expert
operator; in fact, he began railroading
at the key, and the only question was
how to tap the wire, as there was no
appliance for climbing the pole. Fl
nally, Roadmaster Brandt volunteered
to climb a pole and Skinned" up il
with the grace and agility of a circus
performer, broke an insulator,
the connection was dextrously
made and the officials were in direct
communication with the dispatcher's
office. The derailed tender was soon
replaced on the track aud the train
returned here at midnight and re-
manned until morning and then made
the trip over the branch, leaving for
