"Master and Man. at the Opera House
Last Night.


A large and delighted audience wit
messed the first presentation Of most
worthy and picturesque drama at the
Opera House last night. Master and
Man" is of English origin and the en-
vironments are still English, but the
dialogue has been adapted to the tastes
and understanding of American audi
ences, and it is now one of the most
thrilling plays of its kind on the road.
An excellent cast appeared in its inter-
probation and tears and laughter rapid
~ alternated during the tSo and half
hours entertainment Especial praise
is due the efforts Of Miss Chariot Ray
as Hester Thornberry, James Maloney
as Jack Walton, Palmer Collins as Hum
phry Logan. M. NJ. Murray as Robert
Carlton and z. II. Mack as Jim Bur-
leigh.
The comedy was furnished by an ex-
cellent trio, Edward Poland, who has
many friends in Wheeling, Florence
Marion and Rud Harron. Little Willie
Beach delighted and touched the hearts
Of his auditors with his Eaturalness and
beauty.
The scenic effects were all that was
claimed for them and were truly excel
lent, especially the Iron Factory scene,
and the music incidental to the play
was we'll selected and excellently rend-
cred.
Probably better balanced perform
ance has has not been seen here for
many day and the matinee and even
ing performance to-day should crowded.

Not q Miracle Now.

Until recently consumption was
considered incurabie, but now people
are beginning to realize that the dis
ease is not incurable. The cure of
consumption is not a miracle now.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Di:cov-
cry will cure it, if taken in time and
given a fair trial. This world-re-
nowned remedy will not make new
lungs, but it will restore diseased ones
to a healthy state when other means
have failed. Thousands gratefully
testify to this. 1t is the most potent
tonic, or strength-restorer, alternative,
or blood-cleanser, and nutritive, or
flesh-builder known to medical science.
For weak lungs, splitting of blood,
Liver Complaint" and dyspepsia,
or indigestion, it is an unequaled
remedy.

A CHECK FOR $500.
That is the Amount Paid Out
This Morning in the Natter
of Court House Bonds.

The magnificent Pettis county court
house was completed in the year 1884
the cost of which, in round figures,
was 500, 200. That seemed like a
burdensome debt, and not a few tax.
payers were disposed to look upon il
as such. But, said a prominent Of.
fetal to-day, the tax is hardly felt by
any person in Pettis.
Not only this, but the beauti.
full structure is not only
the pride of the people of Pettis county
and of the city of Sedslia, but it is the
admiration of all strangers who see it.
Half the debt now stands already
paid of, and it will be only matter
Of half dozen years or so when the
whole Indebtedness will have bsen
obliterated.
This morning Treasurer Hughes
drew . check for So 500, with which
to call in nineteen of these bonds,
drawing 6 per cent interest, that, too,
being paid with the bonds.

NOT ON The PROGKAANE
The Great Celebration at Boon
vile Made Intensely Reals
tic by . Burning Barge
and Bursting Bombs

Cell Harvey and R. NJ. Blakey, two
well known st. Louis travelling sales
men, whose homes are in Boonville,
were in the city this morning.
The Fourth of July celebration at
that place yesterday was one Of the
grandest ever seen in Central Mis-
souri,, said they. Several thousand Wis
itors were present from various parts
of the state, and everything passed of
pleasantly during the day. There
was no disturbance of any kind, and
no drunkenness Of any consequence.
In the evening. however, there took
place q thrilling scene not aet down in
the programme.
The dioramic exhibition, on a boat
anchored in the middle of the Mis-
souri, river, was successfully presented,
and this was to have been followed by
q grand pyrotechnic display from q
barge, also anchored in midi stream.
BY some means, however, the barge
caught lie and the immense quantity
Of rockets and other fireworks placed
thereupon began to explode.
The shores of the river and
the surrounding hills we're ihickly
thronged with thousands of PEG.
pie and the scene presented
was one not soon to be forgotten. The
dark heavens and the shadowy waters
of the mighty Missouri were brilliant
ly and fiercely illuminated, while the
rapid explosion of the great bombs
made the hills and bluffs tremble and
echo. Several men on the barge
made their escape by leaping from the
large boat into the water.
An expert from st. Louis was en-
gagged to manage the pyrotechnics, but
the explosion interfered with his con-
tract, and the display, except in the
manner stated, was . failure.

situation has been cauvassed for .
week or more. and very grave fears
have been entertained ss to the re-
suit. There WAS an army of strikers

fearful catastrophe. 1t could have
been dealt with in a manner Just to

The magnificent reeidence of Col.
U. F. Short, two miles north of this
city Was totally destroyed BY FIRE this
morning about 2:30 o'clock. Mr..
Short, who Was sleeping in the second
story was suddenly awakened at that
time by q strange noise. very like
the slamming Of . door or OF some.
thing heavily falling. No attention
wac paid tn the noise until . servant
girl gave the alarm that the house Vas
on fire. Mr.. Short then proceeded to
investigate and found the northwest
corner Of the dwelling. entirely en-
velOped in fames. An alarm was
given from the central telephone Office
and both fire companies responded,
but could do nothing to save the build
ing.
The exact origin Of the fire is uu-
known, but according to circum.
stances, could hardly be attributed to
incendiaries. Nothing was .aved from
the house save . few articles Of furni-
ture which were in the front rooms of
the lower story.
Seven thousand, FIVE hundred dol.

KILLED BY A BUCKLE.
A Peculiar and Fatal Accident
Which Befell Young Nan.
uel Stephens.

: r. 81. Stephens, prominent farm.
er who resides near Bunceton, passed
through Sedalis this morning en-
route home from Carthage, No.,
where he had been to attend the fa'
neral of his nephew, Emanuel Steph'
ems, fourteen years of age.
The circumstances surrounding the
death Of the lad we're peculiarly
strange and sad. On June rs he VA
engaged in watering . pair Of mules
belonging TO his father, when one oil
them lurched around, causing q
buckle of the harness to strike young
Stephens on his right knee. The pain
was but trifling and momentary and
the boy went about his work - usual
until the following Friday, when he
complained of feeling unwell. His leg
began to swell and BY Saturday it had
become twice its natural size. A
physician was called in and he applied
liminents, but oil in Eain. The patient
grew worse and had several
fainting epells, after some of which he
was supposed to be dead. On Sunday
morning, July 8, death came to hi.
relief.
The blow from the buckle did not
break the skin, but there is no doubt
but that it caused the death of young
Stephens, as up to that time he was in
excellent health, hearty and robust.
Deceased was born and reared in
Cooper county and removed to Car
thage, with his parents, only a year
ago. He has an uncle William Step
hens, residing near Sedalia.
