Mr.. HATCH IN TOWN,

Hon. w. II. Hatch, one Of Mis-.
souri's most distinguished congressman,
was in the city last evening, on his
way home from the state capital to
Hannibal. Colonel Hatch is regarded
as one of the foremost men in the
lower house and is undoubtedly a
power in the democratic party. He
has been prominently spoken of as q
candidate for speaker of the next
congress and in case be should allow
his name to 60 before the caucus, he
would receive the support not only of
the Missouri delegation, but of other
fellow conpressmen.
Colonel Hatch is seemingly in ro-
bust health, and while be did not care
to be subjected to an interview, he
spoke most encouragIngly of the
democratic outlook in the November
elections, He is quite sanguine that
success will attend the democratic
hosts in New York, Ohio, Iowa and
Massachusetts,.

THE HIGBEE COAL MINES.

A BAzoo representative visited the
coal mines, yesterday, at the thriving
town of Higbee, at the crossing of the
Chicago & Alton and the NJ, K.
st.
The mines are managed by Mr..
VIM. Walton, and are doing great
deal of business. He has under his
control two mines or shafts-one on
the Chicago & Alton, the other on the
NJ, X. Il 7. The shafts are about a
mile and a half apart. Over three
hundred men are engaged in the work
of taking out the black diamonds, and
they are a splendid class of citizens.
sober, industrious and law-abiding
Mr.. Walton informed the BAzoo rep.
resentative that it would take twenty
years work to exhaust tie coal on the
lands leased and owned by the com.
pany. On the 18th the output was
200 tons, although this was an over
average for one day.
The town of Higbee is quite lively
and shows evident signs Of improve
ment. 1t has a weekly paper, the
Higbee News, which is in a prosper

A SILLY GIRL.

The reported assault and robbery
at the residence of Thomas Langan,
west of Marshall as told in the yester.
days BAzoo turns out to be efake.
The work was cleverly executed, but
a little bit overdone, BY the young lady
herself while in one Of Ter hystericaI
fits. After turning things upside
down in the house, she evidently
strapped her legs together and then
her arms to her waist, in which con.
dition she was found by her mother.
The black places on her legs, supposed
at first to be bruises, were nothing
more than Diamond Dye, put there
by her own hands. Her limbs we're
not swollen. The girl, however, de-
clares that robbers perpetrated the
deed. On former occasions she has
acted very strangely. Several posses
were out securing the western part of
the country Yesterday evening until
the facts were made known.

BACK FROM OKLAHOMA.

B. T. Waller, Esq, formerly of
New Palestine, Cooper county, Mis-
sour, who went to Oklahoma on
April ~, 1890, arrived in the city
to-day, en- route to his old home.
Mr.. Waller resides at Oklahoma
City and is full of ambition for
that country. He tells of wondrous
crops it raises and its marvellous dem
ocratic majorities.
Watermelons weigh from 80 to ITO
pounds. and corr is 'out of sight"
Railroads are being built through that
country on q slight provocation and
the sun don't smile on q better
soil or better people. Mr.. Waller
complains of Gov. Steele, who is an
from the hardscrabb!e re-
publicans of Indians. The people
want the capital of the Territory at
Oklahoma. The legislature has twice
located it at that place and twice has
the governor vetoed the bill and keeps
the capital at Guthrie. "It is barely
possible" says Mr.. Waller, that land
around Guthrie has some
thing to do with his action"
Mr.. Waller will remain in Missouri
two or three months.

A TALK WITH GWYNN.
The Executive Commissioner
Gives His Views as to the
Worlds Fair Matters.

j. K. Gwynn, executive commits
sioner of the Missouri Worlds Fail
commission, was at the Union depot
this morning, on his return from st.
Louis to Versailles, where he will
spend a day or two with his family.
Yesterday, in st. Louis" said he,
81 met the members of the Missouri
fish commission, who were in annual
session. They promised me that they
would exert themselves in assisting to
make Missouri's fish exhibit a grand
success. The streams of this state
are as abundantly supplied with and
afford as great variety of fishes as
those of almost any other interior
state. At the Worlds Fair l under
stand that the piscatorial building
will be a gem of beauty and the dis.
play one Of the principal features"
"The question as to where the head
quarters of the Missouri commission
will be located vii not be settled until
the beginning of next year, and after
the members of the commission shall
have visited and held meetings at
various points. These meetings are
meant to stimulate the interest Of the
peope Of different localities in the
work. 1 feel rather confident
that Sedalia will secure the headquar-
tiers, in view of the resolutions passed
in August favoring that point. Some
of the members say, however, that
the board never passed such reso-
lutions, and in that way are seeking
to have the headquarters established
elsewhere.
"The commission is composed of a
splendid body of men," said Mr..
Gwynn, 'and President Gentry is the
right man in the right place. They
do not propose to be niggardly in the
use of the money apprC priated, but
they VIII be very careful and conser
alive and see that not a cent is IN
necessarily expended"

FAILED TO PAY THEM,


Willie Sells circus was the irst one
which visited Sedalia last spring. A
dispatch from Topeka dated October
II, contains the following informa-
ton:
About fifty roustabouts, who have
been travelling with Willie Sells cir
Gus through the west are being fed by
the city. They claim that they haye
not been paid for their summers
work and have attached the circus
properties. Allen Sells will give bond
for the payment Of the money and re-
lease the effects. The men will thus
be left without any money to contest
their claims. The men allege that
Willie Sells induced them to remain
with him until his return to Topeka
by promising that his father would
foot all the bills. When the men ar
rived here Saturday, it is alleged,
they we're told that they would re-
ceive nothing and could attach the
if they wanted to.

CONFIDENCE WORK.
An Impecuni0us Young Man Gets
Himself Into a Predica-
ment.

The confidence man is always
abroad in the land, and always in
search of new victims. He generally
finds them, and in The great msjority
of cases succeeds in fleeing them in
sums from 81 up into the thousands.
Yesterday a man named Samuel
Steen, claiming to be from Sumner
county, Kan, got into conversation
at the Sicher with Nathan T. Over
man, who has been a resident of Sc
dalia for some two months. The lat
ter was hunting a location and
Steen had the very thing for him.
He knew of a quarter section of good
land in Sumner county, really
worth hundreds of dollars, that had
been overlooked, and could be located
for $lS. He told q very plausible
story and Overman was an attentive
listener. Finally he signified his in.
tention of accepting the offer of the
land at so reasonable q price. Later
they met again when Steen said that
he was fearful that if he delayed he
would miss the golden opportunity
and had himself sent the S18 and also
paid s1.35 for a telegram in reference
to the subject. Overman refunded
the money Steen claimed to have paid
out, the latter giving him some bogus
papers.
This morning Overman, after
thinking the matter over and becom-
ing suspicious went to the post office
and express office, and found the man
had sent no funds away. He put the
matter in the hands of Constable
Ramsey who with Deputy Barnett
soon had the man under arrest.
He was taken before Justice Fisher,
waived On examination and was com.
mitted to Jail to await the action of
the grand jury.
Steen completely broke down and
confessed the matter as given above.
The money was recovered.

"The government work at the mouth
of Osage," remarked Congressman
Heard to the Gossiper. Seems to be
of a satisfactory character. At the
invitation of Governor Francis, Sena-
tor Cockrell and ten of the Missouri
Congressional delegation visited the
work and were greatly pleased with
the result. A great part Of the ap-
preparation this year will be used in
the preserving Of work which had al
ready begun. Work is badly needed
at the mouth of Grand river, but un-
der the bill passed by congress, the
labors Of the river commission begins
at the mouth Of the Missouri river
and continues up, and in time all the
points will be reached. Had the
meeting any political significance ?
Oh, no-only so far as national affairs
were referred to incidentally"

its nothing but an old shell and leaks
badly. There are now twenty-four
prisoners crowded in where there are
no accommodations for half the

county and the coming grand jury
should condemn the structure in 8
way that cannot be mistaken. 1t
