HOW SEDAlIA WAS BUILT.
A Singular But Successful Con-
tract Entered into Some
Twenty-Three Years
Ago.

The following document fell into
the hands BAZOO reporter few DAYS
ago and is worth reproducing. 1t is
nearly twenty-three years old and is
in the handwriting of the late A. ID.
Jaynes.
This is one of the cOmmendable
methods which was used to upbuild
Sedalia and to Col. A. ID. Jaynes
much is due for its present prosperity.
We, the undersigned have this day
agreed to build dwelling houses ON our
several lots on Broadway, Sedalia,
Mo-, that will cost from eight thou
sand to ten thousand dollars each, and
do hereby agree and bind ourselves
our heirs and legal representatives,
should either one of us fail to build,
to forfeit and pay to the other three
one thousand dollars each, to be paid
by the one who fails to build as above
mentioned in the year 1870. This
contract entered into more especially
with G. II. Smith on account of the
benefits arising to him in the improve
ments generally on prices of lands
owned by him in the city of Sedalia,
though each and every party who
signs this contract who shall fail to
build said houses as above mentioned,
shall forfeit and pay to those who do
build that may sign this contract, the
sum Of one thousand dollars each, to
be paid in cash on the LIST day of Jan
uary, 1871. 1t is, however, agreed
by and between the parties that in
case of death of either of the parties
or their companions during said year,
they are to be exempt from this con-
tract, but to be binding on the balance,
and if not paid, should any of them
fail to build to be a debt against their
effects and collectable by law same as
a note of honor and to be due JAN
uary /, 1871, and to draw interest
there after at ten per cent until paid.
1t is agreed and positively under
stood by the parties that the houses
above mentioned are to be built on
the following blocks: G. X. Smith,
on block Al; Parker, block ~; A.
Newkirk, on block 43; and A. ID.
Jaynes, on block "A.
In testimony whereof we hereuntO
set our hands this 7th day of January,
1870. q. X. SMITH,

OUT OF THE ASHES.

The Columbia Herald printing plant
which went up in smoke on Tuesday
the 10Th inst, appeared on the 22d As
usual, only a little ''of" in general
appearance, but the articles and Sc
lections showed that the editor and
proprietor Walter Williams and Z.
w. Stephens were at the helm.
A good newspaper handled by good
men can't be killed by no little blaze,
such rs Columbia could produce.
f. W. Stephens is just the man OF
nerve to pull an enterprise through
regardless of obstacles.
He'll get to the front and The
BAzoo predicts a glorious career for
the Herald and its proprietor and
editor.

WHO PAYS THE BILL.

The voters of the country in their
study of the question of tariff taxation,
which is really the dividing issue be-
tween the great parties are disposed
this year, more than ever, to look at
this question in the light of sound
common sense and are discarding their
party preiudices. 1t is asked OF the
working men of Sedalia, the men who
labor in the Missouri Pacific and NJ,
The Sedalia weekly bazoo. [volume] (Sedalia, Mo.) 187?-1904, 1892-09-27

Senator Hill could not have better
condensed the ideas Of tariff in a few
wortt- than he did when he said:
First-Tiiat the necessaries of life
should be substantially free. Second
That luxuries should bear the heavi-
est rlens.-Third- That there should
be free raw materials for the benefit
Of our manufactures. Fourth-That
the tariff upon manufactured articles
should, IL IL general rule, he larger
where similar articles are manufacture
ed in this country than where they
are not. Fiftll-That the tariff i'm
posed upon I'll manufactured articles
(o,hcr than those which for good real
sons are placed on the free lis,) should
equal the difference between the rate
of wages paid in this and foreign
countries So far IL labor enters into
the cost of the production.
This is not only The platform when
Tilden was elected to the presidency
but Is likewise the avowed views of
Mr.. Cleveland.

1t Is hardly to be wondered at that
the uninterrupted success of the
American girl in landing all the hest
catches of Europe should cause the
matchmaking relatives of the neglect
ell British maiden TO feel continued
anxiety. With their usual satisfac-
ton with their own conceit, they
attibute the slight to their country
women, to every cause but the one
which has been pointed out :. to them
for years. English girls are dull.
They are not to blame for their stupidi-
ty; it is simply the natural result of
the British matron's idea OF rearing
her daughter according to the conven-
tiOnal ideas of her mother and her
grandmother before her. She had
rather yield up her life than diviate one
step from the old time-honored and
narrow regime. All originality and
freedoms are discouraged. The child
is not expected to express an opinion
until she is married. and if by acci-
dent she is left alone with Il man, for
short time, the most apparent, ap'
paIling and painful embarrassment
prevents any conversation beyond a
monosyallabIe. 1t is, therefore,
readily understood why men are SC
bored by these really good but re
markable uninteresting girls and seek

LET TELL YOU STORY.

When Paris was i'm the throes of the
Commune, a party of men at the
window of IA house noticed man III
the street acting in a singular manner.
The troops had just driven the insur-
gents past, and the man WAS following
cautiously at some distance after the
soldiers as if determined not to lose
sight of them. Alternately jumping
from the shelter of a lamp post or a
tree to the refuge of a doorway he
gradually advanced as the troops
moved farther on and farther away.
One of the men in the window
called out, Look here, don't you
know that you may get hurt. follow
ing after those men in this wayy'
The man turned and with an I'M
passioned gesture exclaimed, but my
deare saire, | mud follow aftaire rose
men: / am zaire iedaire!"
Now what has all this To do with
this newspaper-THE BAzoo?
In this struggle for business there
are strata of newspapers that KEEP
afoat by constant illusions to I'M
mense circulation, extreme cleanli'
ness, etc., but like the Frenchman,

ment of the Laws.

EDITOR BAZoO:--l would write YOU
now and then, but rs am not IA mod
ern democrat YOU would not put it in
right. Still, when ] come to think
about it. l remember your democracy
is not heart disease, but is only SYM
pathetic, and will cool off by the ices
of November. hope the good Lord
will not lay up and remember what
editors and stump speakers say dur
ing political campaigns. They ought
to be like ministers---tell the. truth
every time; but it is to much to ex-
pect. To hear or read either side one
would think that our country was on
the verge of ruin, but it is not within
the power of any one administration
to ruin this great country of ours.
The next election would right the
wrong. This country has already
withstood several severe shocks and
has come out all right. There is a
worm at the vitals of this great nation
and | need not tell your readers what
it is, they all know, Kill that worm
which kills more than the cholera ever
will, and we will have done more than
and political party can do. Some
burners circulate that more rum Is
sold in Iowa than ever. There bump
ers generally know where and how to
get whiskey and when "half seas

crime. Burglary, horse stealing,
gambling and murder will still go on
and bawdy houses exist in spite of all
law. But what fool will say that
those laws have no restraining infiu-
ence! No sober, honest and Observ-
ant man can go through Iowa without
observing the great change that has
come over the people in their drink
ing habits. Clandestine selling and
drinking is nearly all you can find in
the most parts of Iowa. Drinking is
unpopular and selling Illegal, and
that is about all that the law is ex-
pected to do.

OUR NEW CLOTHES.

The BAzOo appears in a new suit of
clear, clean, slick clothes this morning,
suitable for paper published for
the people now on Earth"
The BAzOO congratulates its thou>-
ands of readers.
We congratulate ourselves in the
fine appearance of the oldest daily
paper in Sedalia.
The patrons of the BAZoo will in
dulge its manager i'm little boasting
as it is rarely or ever given to this
bombastic way of advertising.
Twenty-three years ago last Tues
day we launched daily newspaper
out on the sea of Journalism in Soda
lin. \ few type, a second hand press
and bag of wind was bought on
space and the paper was born to re-
ceive the plauditS of many and the
SCOTS and jeers of Il few.
1t was the BAZoO.
1t was small, but kind reader il was
loud.
To this issue, il has never missed a
publication.
Many of the older residents, very
many Of whom have perused its pages
every publication day since, stood by
the bantling and saw it struggle for
existence, on an uncertain sea. As it
grew older and stronger gained
friends and popularity until to-day
it is in good sailing water and is As
fine craft as ever hoisted flag.
Reader. this has been accomplished
by tireless work.
The management has reason to be
proud.
DIN building of its own, situated in
one of the most prominent places in
the city, of course it is proud.
For a sight of the building see a
picture on the first page of to-day's
paper.
Then pull our latch string and
come and see the oldest and best
paper in Sedalia.
To the friends of The BAzOo. we
owe lasting debt of gratitude-one
We can never repay.
Their commands shall always be re-
spected and it will he a pleasure to
serve them.
Ingratitude is the basest of all
crimes. The responsibility of such
shall not rest upon the shoulders of its
manager, If III our power to prevent.
To its enemies:
God bless you!
You have assisted The BAzOO by
your vials of wrath which have been
heaped upon its devoted head.
This paper has been prosecuted.
1t still has its prosecutors.
And THE BAZOO thrives notwith-
standing.
Whenever an enemy has assaulted,
its friends, byintuition, we have re-
doubled our exertions.
Hence the success.
During the past twenty-four years,
since when the BAzOO office was first
established there has been about
twenty newspapers in Sedalia given
up the ghost.
They ceased ''tO be long felt
want"
To-day, aside from THE BAzOO,
there is not daily paper in Sedalia
four years old.
Survival of the fittest," seems to
be good trite adage to quote.
The reader will please make his OIL
her own application.
We have come to stay.

WHAT WAS DONE IN STOCKS.


The stool, market wac lit more active to-
day, and the movement Of prices, IN sharp
contrast with the apparent weakness yesterday,
was almos: universally toward higher level.
There was little change. however, in the charac
ter of the trading, which remained chiefly pro-
fessional. The advance started before noon
by an eager demand for Reading and Lake Shore,
and for the rest of the day these stocks at
tracted the greatest attention. The early buy
ing appeared TO be for the protection of out
standing contracts rather than for investment,
and in the case Of Lake Shore, the adyancr
Of over per cent encouraged liberal selling for
the long account. In the last hour sales Of
about 5000 shares by one broker caused sharp
reaction and consequently the final gain in Lake
Shore was only | per cent. HE fluctuations IN
Reading were less wide, and after an advance Of
little cse than per cent, this stock also scored
a final advance Of ! per cent. The rest OF the
market moved III complete sympathy with the
leading stocks, but generally the transactions were
on much smaller scale. ~. raul ana North
west were the Only Otier stocks IN thc general
railway list which were comparatively active
but they displayed the same confident strength.
The manipui.,,iVn Ia American Sugar Ecbnin..
which advanced 3-s per cent, was enti1..,
without influence Oh the general marxrt because

WHICH are 10 ne issued lOr thc acquisition oil HNal
properties.
The dealings in silver bullion certificates were
small, but at declining figures. The discussion ui
the silver bill in Congress was Begun with tho
metal at tie lowest prices ever touched in Lon
don aud New York. The ordinary buyers Of
stocks in the afternoon dealings were divided in
opinion about the effect of tic agitation OH the
market. Some traders bought stocks because they
were confident that neither the present bill nor
a free coinage bill could be passed at tho present
session of Congress Others bought ON the
theory that they would rather have stocks than
money, because there was sur to BE- silver
imitation. According to this doctrine prices Of all
sccuriies would advance rapidly even II II free
coinage bill defeated by resolution In favor
OF ali international conference
The closing was affected naturally by the break
in Lake Shore bnt the last prices were only
little below the highest points There was no
perceptbc weakness in TIE final dealings

There were still no transactions in Government
bonds. and the closing quotations remained un-
changed as followS:
