AN INTERESTING TALK
With Judge CAN'T, the Able Su.
preme Court Representative.

A BAzoo representative had the
pleasure of accompanying Judge CAN'T
of the supreme court, from his Clin-
ton home to Sedalia yesterday even
ing on the NJ, K. & T. train that
reached this city at 6:15. The Judge
was in excellent health and was free
to talk on the principal topics of the
day. In answer to the question as to
the amount of work that lay before
the court, Judge CAN'T said eve
have now in the neighborhood of
eight hundred cases before us that de-
mand a speedy consideration. Of course
it is absolutely impossible for us
to give all these cases our immediate
attention for each case has its turn
and must come in its regular order,
but with the help of the new judges
recently elected we hope to clear the
docket in the next four years. Our
work at present is very laborious and
perplexing but when We once catch up
our labor will be pleasant and agree
able"
In answer to the question as to what
he thought of the next senatorial con.
test and who he thought would be the
winner, the judge said:
81 do not know for certain that
Gov. Francis has definitely decided
to make the race, but in the
event that he should, he has
a very hard and very popular man
to beat, Senator Cockrell" is one of
the best informed and one among the
most popular men in the senate, the
people of Missouri of all classes idolize
him and in him Gov. Francis will
find formidable adversary. If Gov.
Francis can overcome the opposition
presented by Senator Cockrell he
need not fear the efforts that will be
put forth by any other candidate"
The judge left Sedalia on the mid.
night Missouri Pacific train for JET.
ferson City to resume his labors. He
intends moving his family to "Bingen
on the Rhine" in the near future.

THE STATE ENCAMPMENT.

The Commercial club ever alive to
the interests of Sedalia is now making
an attempt to secure the next en-
campment of the state militia with
every respect of success. The officers
and some of the directors of the club
held an informal meeting last night
and concluded to at once send dele
CATION to Jefferson City to confer with
Adjutant General Wickham and Gov
ernor Francis relative to holding it in
Sedalia. The club and citizens are
willing to do the handsome thing by
the soldier boys if they will come here
and as Sedalia has splendid railroad
facilities and is in such direct rail COM
with all cities where the
state guard is located it is thought a
majority of the companies would
rather come here than 60 elsewhere on
account of the expense. Captain IL.
G. Demuth and Hon. Mont Carnes
have been selected to represent the
club at Jefferson City and have gone
town there to-day so as to be the first

Yesterday morning Will Cummings

of the school house. In an old well
forty feet deep; with thirty-four feet
of water, he saw what is called a
planer floating on the water. Willie
worked in a printing Office. He

A NEW JAIL.
The Site Will Probably be Selec-
ted Monday.

1t is very probable that at the ses-
sion of the county court Monday that
body will make some arrangement for
the purchase of site for a new Jail.
1t has long been recognized that the
care of prisoners and since the grand
jury made such decided stand in favor
of new jail public opinion has chris
tailed on the subject. Judge Daily
has been looking for site for several
days and has made special study of
the matter in which prisoners should
be treated. As result of this he has
his eye on location for the new Jail
and will advise the county court to
purchase the property at once as the
chances are that it can never be
bought in the future as cheap as it can
now. His idea is to have quar-
ters large enough so that prisoners
can work under guard in an enclosed
ground. The prisoners can
be put to work making macadam and
it can be hauled out on to the roads.
The Judges idea making country

east, west, north or south side of the
city and make a mile of road.
Then 60 to some other side and make
another mile and continue this until
four roads are started. Then go back
to place of beginning and make an
other mile and so on until four roads |
are built to the county line in each
direction. He thinks there would be
no serious objection to the making of
roads in this manner and that in few
years, Pettis county would have some
good roads.

COUNTY SURVEYOR.

The complexion of the race for
county surveyor has changed some
what since yesterday and it is now
thought that the Office will be offered
to Mr.. John w. Conner formerly
county recorder and a surveyor of
some note. A petition is being circu-
lated in his favor and Hon. VIM.
Steele and Judge Yeater are in Jeffer-
son City today comforting with the
Governor in his interest.
Mr.. Merritt Yeater who was mem
toned yesterday as a probable candi-

cept the Office, as his present duties
are of sufficient magnitude to take all
his attention. 1t is thought the Gov
ernor will make the appointment
within a very few days.

AN ELOPEMENTS SEQUEL.
Thomas Johnson and Gay Wad-
dell Caught i'm Sedalia
They Hail from LeayenwOrth and
Are Now Playing Checkers
With Their Noses i'm the
County Jail-SOmething
of Their Record.

There is large sized black cloud
floating across the lives of Thomas
johnson and Mrs. Gay Waddelle. 1t
is only day since they were as gay
as the gayest. The cause of this sud-
den change was the strong arm of the
law, and they now languish in iron
cages at the county Jail all because
they can not settle fine imposed
upon Thomas of $50 and upon Gay
for So, by mis- honor Judge Fisher.
Thomas and Gay are not residents
of Sedalia of long standing. They
came here from Leavenworth about a
week ago. Thomas is married man
the father of several children, while
Gay is the mother of bright little
boy and the wife of a good hard
working coal miner. For several
years Thomas and Gay have
thought more of each other
and have displayed that affec-
ton more lavishly than is thought
to be consistent with the forms of good
society. The attachment was noticed
by the neighbors and there was an
indignant feeling abroad IN that city,
the result of which the gay lovers
thought to forestall. Mrs. Waddelle
had not been living with her husband
for some time having been estranged
by reason of her intimacy with
Thomas. On the 9Th of April, Thomas
having succeeded in amassing the COM
Portable sum of $50, in company with
his lady love came at once to this
city. He secured bard at j. d.
near the corner of Main and
Lamine and cast his eye about him
for work. This he found with Thomas
Saunders a mi!kman, who
resides near Goth and Lamine.
Thomas and Gay were handy persons
aorund the dairy and they soon en-
1eared themselves so much to Mr..
Saunders that he desired them to re-
main with him as long IS they cared.
Sunday, however, the breath of sus-
picion started on its tour of gossip
and soon found an easy mark in
Thomas and Gay. Deputy Sheriff
Barnett was notified of the suspected
relations of the couple and he at once
put them under arrest and brought |
hem before Justice Fisher on the |
:harge of living in adultery. They
we're fined as above stated, and are now
n the county Jail with an unpleasant
prospect of remaining guests of the
ounty until fines and costs are paid. |
ray is repentent and says she will
eturn home to her husband and child
S soon as she gets out and Thomas is
asing his guesses on seeing daylight
n the slim hope, that his brother, a
in Leavenwortb, will send
i'm the amount of his fine.

COUNTY SURVEYOR.
6Ossip as to Who Will Fill Out
the Unexpired Term.

There is considerable comment thi
morning as to who will succeed thu
late j. G. johnson as county surveyor
The names of several persons are men
toned in this connection, the mos
prominent of whom are Merritt Yeater
the present City Engineer, Charlie.
Denny of Washington Township and
John 5. Slavens of Lamonte. The
friends of Mr., Slavens are already in
the field and are working hard for his
appointment. His case is in the hands
of Mr.. Lon. Luther who is in the city
to day finding out what his chances
are. Mr.. Slavens is a native of Pettis
county and a lifelong democrat. At
present he is farming near Lamonte.
He is said to be we'll qualified for the
place and it is said that all the resi-.
dents in that portion OF
the county are solid for him.
There seems to be division of opinion
in regard to the eligibility of Mr.. Yea
ter. Some of the lawyers hold that
an officer cannot serve in two capaci-
ties at the same time. 1t is not
thought, however that this would
hold good in this case as the law in
the case reads thus:
SIN cities or counties having more
than two hundred thousand popula-
ton, no person shall, at the same
time, be a state officer and an officer
of any county, city or municipality
and no person shall. at the same time,
fill two municipal Offices, either in the
same or different municipalities but
this section shall not apply to notaries
public, justices of the peace or officers
Of the militia"
There are a number of precedents
Of where an official has served both
he city and the county at the same
lime. In Kansas City the county and
,ity assessor were the same for many
years as was also the county surveyor
md the city engineer. Mr.. Yeater

# this kind are made by the governor

A MYTHICAL BURGLAR.
He Causes q Sensation on East
Fifth Street.
Some of the Scenes at an Early
Hour This Morning at Col
Rich'd Ritter'S Residence
Heroic Action of
the NeighbOrS.

Any one who has any regard for pro.
priety will not mention the word
"burglar" in a light and airy way in
the presence of "Dick" Ritter, Judge
Daily and other residents Of East
Fifth street.
1t was just the morning for a burg
lar, was this morning. The dark black
clouds feeced with white, looked
blacker than usual and the moon was
making a desperate and unsuccessful
attempt to fulfill the duty of the cleo
trio light company, when pistol shot
rang out loud and clear and woman's
voice was raised in the piercing cry
of "help," from the residence of Col.
Richard Ritter, 312 East Fifth street.
The voice of distress brought help, in
scant attire it is true, but neverthe-
less. help that was armed and full
of valor. The cause of the pistol shot
and the woman's scream, was a myth
ical burglar, supposed to be flying
hither and thither about the Ritter
residence laying in store of the val
uables. The pistol shot was not aimed
at an immaginary burglar even, but
was just one of those shots intended
to strike terror to evil doors and neigh
bors alike. The burglar has not been
heard from the latter have; they came
in droves. Judge Daily is claiming the
honor of having been the first on the
spot, although that honor is disputed
by some half dozen valient men and
women among whom is Col. Archer.
The Judge was clad, say those who
gossip, in a white silk "nightie" with
ruffled front and bottom trimmed with
flaming red embroidery, but he does
not care to have the incident men,
toned as it may cut some figure in the
next canvass. especially among the far
