SUNDAY SHAVING.
A Springfield Barber Making a
Test Case i'm the City
Courts.

The time has long since passed
since the tonsori, i artists of Sedalia
were privileged to do shaving on
Sunday, and il is likely the law finds
favor with them. According to the
following item in the Springfield,
Mo-, Democrat, however, there is at
least one barber down there who is
not satisfied with only six days work,
but wants to accommodate customers
on the Sabbath as well
Considerable interest attaches to
the case now pending in the city re.
corder's court against Mr. Huston.
the BoonvilIe street barber. who is
making a test case on the city ordi-
nance requiring the closing of barb r
shops On Sunday. The subjecr has
been before the city council, and a
number OF ordinances embodying the
proposition have been submittei anh
uniformly defeated until the last time,
when the ordinance carried. A num-
Der of the BARRIERS of the city are in
favor of the ordinance as it gives
them the privilege OF day which they
would not otherwise enjoy. Many
persons are oppnsed to the ordina zee
as it derives them of the opportunity
of getting shaved on Sund ~ when
they have not had time on the previ-
Gus night. 1t is also claimed that The
law has been violated by shops b-iug
kept open within the hours prescriben
by The law when they should be
closed.
The ordinance will be contested on
the ground of unconstitutionality.
The defendant Claims it is a species of
class legislation inasmuch as it Is
directed against BARRIERS exclusively.
1t seems that the question has not
yet been decided in this state though
parallel cases have been passed on in
which attractions of oiher SUNDAY
laws had been committed. The de-
cision of cases of this kind is beile ed
to rest on the general question of
whether the alleged ofiense is CON-
mitted in the performance of what
are known as necessary labors
The questions presented are very
important ones and have been the
subject of a great deal Of argument.
1t is understood that Mr.. Huston will
not make his defense in the recorders
cour;, but will allow the case to 60
against him there and take an appeal
to the criminal court where he will
mike his fight.

SADAND SUDDEN.
The Death of PrOsser Ray at
Jefferson City Yesterday
Morning.

From Ed I. O'Rear, of Jefferson
City, who was in Sedalia yesterday
afternoon the BAzoo learns that
Prosser Ray,a well known young man,
dropped dead suddealy in Jefferson
City yesterday morning, at 8 o'clock.
The c,use of his sudden death was
apoplexy.
PrOsser Ray was probably about
thirty-6ve years old. He was a SON
of Judge r. ID. Ray, late one of the
Supreme judges of Missouri and had
resided in Jefferson City several years.
Mr.. Ray was once one of the promi-
nent young attorneys of Missouri and
was one of the assistant attorneys of
the Wabash Railroad. Of late years
he had been in poor health and had
given up active practice and taken up
his residence in Jefferson City. He
leaves a widow. daughter of the late
Hon. Samuel L. Glover, of st. Louis,
and two boys.
His remains will pass through Soda
liza tomorrow afternoon, en- route to
Kansas City, whence they will be
taken to Carrollton, where the dead
man was born and reared, for inter
meDt.
Prosser Bay had a very wide ac-
quaintance in Missouri and was de-
servedly popular. He was a brilliant
and hard working young man.
Overwork had put him in bad health.
His uutimely death, though. was un-
expected and will be surprise and
shock to many people.

part toward raisiug the required stock
10 secure the charter and successfully
inaugurate the enterprise. Every
man in Dallas county is interested In
having this road built, and eli should

ton. This promises to be the best
chance we have ever had to secure a
railroad"

Passing Them Round.

Thursdays Moberly Monitor speaks
thusly of a troupe well remembered in
Sedalia: "The London Gaiety Girls
company held the boards in Mexico
last night, but not without lot OF
free advertising from highly incensed
citizens who filled the newspapers and
waste baskets with complaints against
the immoral and indecent pictures
and performances. To people who
view the company, pictures and show,
they are simply disgusting but those
who patrsnize and take pleasure in
the obscene pictures, it can hardly
make worse. 1t is debasing on the
young, however, and in some way
should be toned down."

AVARIEGATED BATCH
Of Prisoners Faced the Police
Judge Yesterday Morning.

Judge Hals,eai had an interesting
and variegated batch of prisoners ar
rsigned in his court yesterday morn
ing.
B. G. Taylor was first called mp.
The previous m ,rning he was in the
police court on the charge of
intoxicstion. He was given
moderate fine, and was
granted a stay ON promise that he
would abstain from further drunken
ness in Sedalis. Friday night, how
ever, he was found on Osage street
badly bowled up again, but able to
roundly abuse Officer Gorrell, who
had made the previous arrest. Judge
Halstead, taking all the circumstances
ofthe case into consideration, assessed
a fine of fifty dollars. Taylor seems to
be well educated young man and
uses unusually good language, but
whisky has got the inside track ON
him and is winning the day, just now,
at least.
William Rogers pleaded guilty to q
commonplace drunk and the court
lost no time in putting him down
for $3.50.
John w. Easson was as hard
looking customer as has faced the
Judge for many day. He was found
trespassing on Missouri Pacific rail
road property Friday night. He was
fined S. and given stay, on promise
that he would start at once fer his
home -Knoxville, Tenn.
Robert j. Skimmerhorn was run In
Friday night for keeping late hours.
He was permitted to make a state
ment, in which be said that he was q
salt water sailor from San Francisco.
Arriving in Sedalia Friday afternoon,
be had fallen in with another sailor,
and the two old tars were
so happy at meeting each
other, that they INDUCED In a regular
sailor picnic. Finally, Skimmerhorn's
money began to get scanty and he
was trying to dispose of two gold
rings when arrested. He gave his
real name as Eugene Wall, saying
that it is often the sea fashion to
fasten some nick name on a sailor,
which is hard to shake of F.. The pris-
oner had great glibness of ongue and
very taking suavity of manner.
He promised that if given a stay, he
would leave the city, make his way
to the Missouri river, float down to
st. Louis and from there 90 direct to
Chicago. Sailor Skimmerhorn Was
therefore released.
Three lads, each about IA years old,
named Walter Ray, Joseph Car
nell and Fritz Jessel, were fined SIS
for keeping late hours. The Judge
gave them Lrief parental lecture
and a stay of execution on promise
that they would remain off the streets
late at night.
