Mr.. Chris. 9. Ritter seems to be real
vexed because We have alluded to
him in q playful way as lawyer by
profession and resident Of Beonson.
He occupies nearly a whole column
with a vehement denial of the charge,
besides which he writes US letter
that fairly writhes with sarcasm and
indignation. If we had thought for q
moment that he would take it so hard
we never would have mentioned it.
But really it seems to US that our mis-
take, if we have made one, was very
natural. We have before US one OF

The serman off Fact

Editor Ingersoll and Clerk Eekley,
having leisure hour the other day,
took it into their heads to examine
the records for proof Of the alleged
fact that Allen County farmers are
growing poorer all the time. They
rightly considered that the increase
or decrease i'm the number of pianos or
organs and buggies owned by farmers
would be n fair test of the question,
for while these articles are very de-
sirable they are not actual necessaries
of life, and men are not apt to gcdeeply
in debt to buy them. They accord
ingly examined the assessors' returns
for 1885, and for 1890, of seven agricul-
tural townships, with the following
result:

A BIG ENTERPRISE.
Sedalia'S Artificial Ice Plant
To be i'm Operation by
May 1St.

A representative of the BAzeo yes
terday met Mr.. A. 2. Benson of To
peka, who is bui ding an artificial ice
plant iu this city. In conversation
Mr.. B nson sid: 81 think an ice
plant in this city, if properly man.
aged and operated, can be made a
success, provided of course, it receives
the patronage of its citizens. l am
erecting building SOx98 feet in
size on my own ground. have pur-
chased and will put in the latest i'm
proved machinery for making arti-
fetal ice, with capacity of twenty.
five tons of ice per day. The ice will
be made from pure water
which has been filtered,
and will be purer and healthier than
natural ice possibly could be. l can
sell it to consumers as low or lower
than natural ice could be sold, as the
expense of working it is no more than
the expense of cutting and putting
away natural ice. My plant here,
when completed. will cost not less
than $4,000. l am starting this en-
terprise in Sedalia without asking Its
, citizens for one foot of ground, or one
dollar in money, but do ask and ex-
pect their patronage. Especially so
when [ can give them the finest and
purest ice at as low price as it can be
sold in any city in the United States
When L am running at full capacity |
will give employment to twenty five
persons. l will look after the plant
here personally. / have had large
experience, having for years been en-
gagged in the ice business. l expect
to have all my machinery in and be-
gin making ice by April 25th."
The new artificial ice plant is 10
@ manu- that viii ii-~ nndfoabtedfy
be appreciated by the citizens of this
city and Pettis county and they
should show their appreciation by
Literally patronizing Mr.. Benaon's
new enterprise.
Persons living out of the city can
get their ice direct from the plant,
and those in the city can have it de-
livered to them daily by leaving or
sending their orders. The ice plant
is big thing for Sedalia and Mr..
Benson should have no cause to find
fault with his patronage.

AN OLD MISSOURIAN.

Sauntering about the rotunds of
Sicher's Hotel last evening was Col.
H l.. Boon. Col. Boon is Missouri
ian and his appearance indicates that
be is cosmopolitan.
81 am about to locate in Sedalia"
said Col. Boon, "because / like the
place and the people are 50 cordial
that they have completely captured
me- he continued as he squarely faced
a BAzoo reporter.
"You have seen much of the world p
queried the reporter of the Colonel.
"Yes, was born in Howard coun-
ty and am a descendant of Daniel
Boon the old pioneer. At the out
break of the war l fell heir to sympa-
pathy for the south in the memorable
struggle of 1861-65. After the war |
went to California where l remained
few years. Returning to my first
love 1 came to Miss ouri four years ago
and have since resided in Jasper
county.
Of all the people 1 ever met 10 all
my meanderings, | find none like the
Missourians, especially those of the
river counties and central Missouri.
They are hospitable and generous to a
fault-in fact they are the "salt of the
EARTH" l shall always live in Mis-
souri, as long as live anywhere"
Col. Boon is the state agent of Mis-.
souri, and Kansas, of the Equitable Life
Assurance Society ofthe United States.
He is a a gentleman of ripe experience
and the BAzoo welcomes him to

G. F. Bonfils, formerly a real es-
tate agent of Kansas City, now in the
real estate bu-iness in Guthrie, Okla
homa, passed through the city, yester-
day, at noon, Ell route east. Mr.. Bon
Fl Is, though only about 80 years of
age, is an old resident of Oklahoma.
He went into the territory ON the first
train from the north, and now when
they hold old timers' reunions down
there he takes a seat in the front row.
He says, Notwithstanding the gloomy
reports about restitution and hard
times down there, tines are improving
and the outlook is brigh'. Immigra-
ton is coming in, bringing new PEG.
pie and more money. The majority OF
the ttlers, he says, are getting in
fair condition. He says much money
has been made by spectators and
there is a good chance for more.

HUFFMAN'S CASE.
Fined Twenty-Five Dollars and
Costs and Sent to Jail.

William Huffman, the man who
took a horse from Col. w. B. Riley's
farm, near Sedalia, a few days ago
shipped it to Kansas and scId it. was
brought before Esquire Fisher
yesterday morning. Prosecuting
Attorney Longau was there
to represent the state. Huff
man had no attorney and barely made
a statement of his case to the court.
1t developed that Huffman did not
steal the horse. ne uau, rs Tie IaCLS
showed, bought the horse from Coo
mel Riley and not paid for it. He
gave Colonel Riley, as security for
payment, mortgage on the animal
and then secretly shipped it out of
the state and sold it. He was, there
fore arraigned for selling mortgaged
property.
Colonel Riley appeared in court
and, with his Oh .racteristic goodness
of heart, requested the court to be as
light as possible on the fellow, as he
has wife and several children. Huff;
man pleaded guilty to the charge and
he was fined s25 and C SITS, amount.
ing to s54.75. Not having the where
with to pay. he was sent to Jail to
serve it out at 50 per day.

the day the house was opened, hold
ing the night position. The day be-
fore that be was introduced to Miss
Lillian Mayes and that was their first
meeting. Matthews is a handsome,
well-dressed, lively fellow with but
very little of this worlds goods, so tits
said. Nothing unusual was noticed
between him and Miss Mayes. Two
weeks ago she went to Girard, Kansas,
to spend few days with her married
sister. She was to have been back by
Christmas.
Almost a week ago Mr.. Matthews
was released from bis position, owing
to the fact that Mr.. Johnson, the
manager, had concluded to do Office
work in the day and to put Mr.. J. A.
Fisher, the other clerk on duty at
night. Mr.. Matthews next day babe
Mrs. Mayes and all others at the
house good bye, saying he was going
TO Fort Worth, Texas, to obtain
employment. 1t was supposed that
by this time he was 10 Texas. But
he never went to Texas. He stopped
off at Girard and Thursday he bore
Mrs. Mayes' daughter to The matri-
moDiaI alter. The couple are still in
Cir ard. How long they will remain
there or what they will do no one
here knows. Nothing whatever is
known Of their Intentions for the flu
ture. Mrs. Mayes was thunderstruck
by the news. A BAzoo reporter saw
her to-day bat she said she knew
nothing except that they were mar
ried. Sac did not know whether
they would return to Sedalia or not
She knew nothing of their in :entious,
and regretted the hasty action of the
young people but hoped it would turn
out all right. Mrs. Mayes talked
pleasantly and while she seemed to
be disappointed, she seemed disposed
to make the best Of the matter"
The Globe-Democrat, which is
probably mistaken in the matter re-
ferring to the above says:
The divorce case of Lillian
Matthews VS.. William j. Matthews
was dismissed because it appeared
that the plaintiff had not been a resi-
dent in Missouri one year prior to
the commencement of the suit.

LA GRIPPE PREVALENT.

While Chicago has her eight hun
bred victims Frustrated with Ia grippe
and many other cases have proven
fatal and the disease is raging with
unprecedented violence in other
cities, of the northwest, Sedalia is not
entirely iree from this second vista
ton of the epidemic, remarked a 10
cal physician, yesterday. While the
ailment is not near so severe in its
nature, as last year. still there are
many more cases of it in this city
than is generally supposed. A great
many in Sedalia and vicinity are
more or less ailing with it. The damp
humid atmosphere and changeable
weather of this month have greatly
accelerated it.
