PROBABLY BETRAYED.

A woman, who refused to give her
name. got of the north bound NJ. X.
and I. train this morning perfectly
penniless. She was crying bitterly.
She claimed to be a married woman
from Dennisop, Texas. and tina, she
had left her husband for all time. She
WAS endeavoriEg to make her way to
Kansas City to secure quar-.
tiers in hospital before
her confinement. A ticket was
procured for her, ard she left on this
evenings train for that point. She
was fairly well dressed, not bad
looking, and there is probably a
mystery in the case to solve.

UP TEN FEET.
Muddy Creek Bridge TOttering
Above the Rising Stream.

Information received this morning
by telephone relative to Muddy creek
was that that stream had risen fifteen
feet in the last twenty-four hours and
was rising rapidly. In the event of q
continued rain fall the already soaked
condition of the ground will cause the
stream to rise at much more rapid
rate.
In the meantime the bridge cross
ing this stream, which is. perhaps,
more generally used than all other
bridges leading into Sedalia combined
is in imminent danger of going down.
The workmen who began only a few
days ago to make temporary repairs,
are now prevented from going ahead
and doing the work as i: should be
done, by the high water.
LIABLE TO FALL.
Travel on that road has already
been seriously interfered with by the
condition of this bridge, and as it is
with one exception-snd the read
leading to that is now impassible-
the only bridge available to those
people who live west of the city and
have to cross the stream, it can
readily be seen that the present state
of affairs is serious, to say the least.
Good judges are of the opinion that
the abutment on the east bank, which
has been reported in falling condi-
ton for several weeks, can hardly
withstand further rise in the water.
And should the creek remain at lis
present stage for any length of time it
would be something remarkable if the
bridge does not 60 down.

KNEW HER WELL.
An Old Sedalian Talks About
Myrtle Sturtevant.

A Sedalia lady, who knew the
Sturtevant family during their entire
residence in this city, and who was
particularly fond Of and intimate with
Miss Myrtle, the young lady who is
mysteriously missing from Columbus,
O., expresses herself as follows with
reference to her disappearance. Said
she:
"Miss Sturtevant was richly en-
dowed with all the characteristics of a
pure. good girl. She was affectionate
in her relations with every one, and
devotedly attached to her parents. and
it seemed to be ner fondest delight to
carry out their every wish. Nor was
she of disposition to be dragged or
Influenced by any man, under ordinary
circumstances but on the contrary,
while very beautiful, fascinating and
accomplished, she impressed one as a
being who was supremely pleased with
herself, without being naughty, vain
or proud.
AFFAIRS CHANGE.
"But there is chapter in this girls
life which may have, as it often does,
turned the tide of all things.
While in Sedalis Mr.. Stur;evant
had means, not in abundance,
but an amount amply sufficient to in.
dulge his daug hter's wishes and de.
sires. Before and during his residence
at Columbus he has met with pecuni-
airy reverses, and now that Miss
Myrtle has reached womanhood.
barring the hard lines of enforced
economy to which she was not accus-
toned, she yearned more than ever
for those pleasures and benefits which
only means can procure.
THE MAN CoNNELL,
81 heard of this man,
T. +. Cornell, some time before
this affair occurred, and feeling an
interest in Miss Myrtle. | made it a
point to inquire relative to who he
was. got no good reports then. and
it is hardly reasonable TO suppose that
any could come now, as l believe
him in some way responsible
for the whole affair. Nor has his iron
GOODNESS allayed my suspicious in the
least. She was thrown with this man
simply through change OF circum-
stances, as his appearance as well as
actions in the premises do not augur
good.
"When Myrtle Sturtevant is found,
ii she ever is, dead or alive, this man
will be found to have been at the
bottom Of her disappearance. And as
is graz ally fastening on
him, when every clue of Myrtle is
run down, l think the authorities at
will look to him for the
balance.

county, and one of the most staunch

Missouri, is in the city to-day. He

The postoffice department is exer.

prevention of stammering. The re-

For instance, a gold watch is adver-

sence enough to read must know that
a gold watch cannot be sold at such q
price, and yet the vic;ems of this
scheme are numbered by the thousands
1t seems that common sense should
teach any one Of that legitimate bust

nothing and that they must pay full
value for what is receivd. An adver-
tisement or circular claiming anything
else may safely be considered a
swindle.

Brutality Not Mirth.

There is a disposition on the part OF
some thoughtless persons to find fault
with the Trustees of the Boston Pub
lie Library for excluding Puck and
.Judge from their Reading Room.
We think they are perfectly right to
do so.
Both of these periodicals, but
especially Puck, are constantly filled
with the most shocking insults to GER
tain large classes of citizens, and more
or less Unfortunately to all religions.
Their caricatures seem to start out
with the assumption that honesty,
purity and sobriety are inconsistent
with religion, and their effect on the
general public is certainly in large
measure depraving and degrading on
that account.
Two classes Of citizens eem, in secu-
lar matters, to be the especial objects
of their hatred, those of Irish race and
the Jews. 1t is not for what is really
censurable in these people, either,
that these ''comic" papers eibe at
them; it is generally for physical
characteristics which are natural to
them, or for social conditions which
are their misfortune, not their fault.
The poverty Of people is not in our
judgment a happy subject for jest,
and yet Puck harps on that n string
with a persistency which passes vul-
garity and amounts to cold hearted
cruelty.
Caricature has undoubtedly its
high uses. Directed against the vices
and follies OF the age or even of power
fulindividuals; it may serve as alash to
punish the ill-djsposed and bring them
to ways of right; but when it is used
only to hold up to public ridicule the
misfortunes of the poor and the lowly,
it becomes a mere brutal perversion
of art, q base pandering to the lowest
instincts of human nature.
