MORE APPLICATIONS.

Next week the railway postal clerks
of the seventh division, which com.
prises Missouri, Kansas, Colorado and
The Indian territory, will hold q con-
vention in Kansas City to discuss a
plan for securing the passage Of bill,
which will be introduced at the next
session of congress, providing for
raising salaries Of railway postal clerks
and ais opensioning::widows and minor
children nay of postal clerk killed
while ON duty. Postal clerks should
receive Just and liberal compensation,
salaries that would enable them to
save money above living expenses,
but the demand for pensions should
be opposed. If those dependent on
the postal clerk should be given gov
eminent support, why not those de-
pendent on any government official,
postmasters, mail carriers and all !
Because the government is generous
to W rthy old war veterans and their
survivors, is no cause for the other
people to ask for aid. Tie pension
list is now enormous.

W, P. JACKSON,

The man whose name heads this is
at deaths door. A cancer is sapping
his constitution and his life is slowly
ebbing away.
"Bill" jackson, as he is familarly
called, is a msrvelous man. He was
born in Kentucky, but came to Mis-.
souri, when a child, and spent most Of
his earlier years on the frontier. He
had little chance for an education,
hence he grew to manhood with but
little culture, but he had a strong
mind and the courage OF lion.
Mr.. jackson held many Offices Of
honor and trust in Sedalis. He was
elected marshal in 1865, 1868 and
1869. In 1870 he was elected mayor.
He was a union man during the war
and has since that time been an ar
dent republican. He had strong con-
victions and the courage to give them
expression at all times.
Bill jackson has always possessed
great many excellent qualities and
had he enjoyed the advantages oil
education when young he would have
made his mark. He was converted
three years ago during the Major
Cole revival meeting. After he wal
converted. the writer Intercepted hin
as to what church he would connect
himself with?
"Well," said Jackson, "during the
war, whenever I found a Northern
Methodist, l found him staunct
union man and a republican, and
believe l will join that chu. ch."
He spoke with much emphasis
Bill Jackson never forgave those whC
we're in arms or those who we're sympa
thizers with the Confederacy.

Shipley, while the Arnolds were for
him. The case has been marked with
intense feeling between the principals
and witnesses from the very first and

that the city council be informed that
it was the wish of the property owners
of West Seventh street to have that
thoroughfare paved with improved
Telford.
in. Offield was opposed to the
motion and thought it best to request
the council to postpone the paving OF
the street until spring, as by that
time the Telford pavement on Fifth
street could be examined, and if it had
stood the winter test aud was q good
pavement then the property owners
could decide more intelligently than
at present.
DR.. Evans and others spoke upon
the resolution and a viva voce vote
was t. ken, resulting in majority for
improved Telfcrd. A vote was then
taken by feet front and resulted as
follows: Improved Telford, LAO
feet; plain Telford, 1894 feet. The
choice of improved Telford was de-
clared carried.

PAT CONNER'S HERD.

that Pat Conner, the genial and

to Sedalia last Tuesday. We gather
ed from his conversation that he has
lately purchased 81 head of fine i'm
ported sheep, seventeen Of which are
true Shropshirel and seventeen Cots
void. We believe there is only one
larger herd of the true imported
Shropshire in the state. Sheep raisers
in the county should see this herd and
arrange to improve their own Aocks.

81 was down in Old Mexico
month ago. said q Kansas City
travelling man to the Gossiper," and
at the hotel came across a copy of
the Sedalia BAzoo, and declare /
grasped it with an avidity that was
surprising. 1t seemed like an old
friend because our house in Kansas
City had been receiving the paper for
several years But the strange part
was how this particular copy came to
the Mexican hotel. l made inquiry
OF the proprietor and no Missourians
had lately been there, and he could
not account for the appearance of the
paper in any way. However, the BA-
zoo, 1 suppose, as it says, is published,
for the people now on earth.
James Whitcomb Riley, the
Hoosier poet, comes to New York
very often, says the Mail and Express.
He is short of stature, little stoop-
shouldered, and clean shaven. His
hair is thin. and his clothing betokens
man of business rather than a poet.
And in this regard he follows Thomas
Bailey Aldrich and Edmund Clarence
Stedman. All these gentlemen are
sleek and well groomed, and wear
clothing of fashionable cut. They
are unpoetic looking men in the
extreme. Richard Henry Stoddard
has the air of man of letters, and be
is one of the men engaged in the liter
airy work in New York to-day who
could be picked out of crowd and
his calling determined by his appear
ance. When Riley comes to New
York he spends good deal of hi:
time in visiting old book stores, and
when be tires Of that, he wanders W
and down Broadway, feasting his eyes
on the constantly changing panorams
of that thoroughfare. He goes along
leisurely, stops in front Of shot
windows and gazes witt
childish eagerness upon the
wares displayed. All the world know:
that Riley is fond of children, and
when l saw him awhile ago taking
con6dentially to a bit of newsb
who was selling papers he seemed all
absorbed in his new found friend. Il
Riley would accept all the invitations
, to socisl pleasures extended to him il
New York he would be k~pt busy
But, although he is charming story
teller and an easy and graceful con
versationalist, he does not like to g
out much. He is shy, and prefers t
sit in a corner with few friends who
know him and understand him. Ever
, on the platform he is nervous and tii'
j getty, and g ad when he has finished
|. his readings. For the benefit Of thos
who say that poets cannot make thei
, salt. will say that Mr.. Riley coult
: make s15, 900 year by his poetry i
he possessed the commercial instinc
and would accept all the work ten
dered him. AS it is, he makes IS, OO
a year from his poems, and thre'
times that much from his readings.
