A GhOULlSH DEED.

and Knocked Under a Nov
ing Train.

On the arrival of the Sis NJ, X.
Il L. train from the south this morn
ing, Conductor Mallory informed a
BAzoo reporter of shocking catastro-
phe that occurred at Parsons last
night.
1T was just about IL o'clock" said
the conductor, "when my attention
was arrested by an unearthly shrek,
rushed to the fore part of the train
from whence the sound proceeded,
and, horrible to relate, there lay q
man weltering in blood, his left arm
crushed to shapeless mass. Calling
for assistance, We tied handkerchief
around the wounded member to pre-.
vent the man from bleeding to death
and summoned medical aid.
Nor was this the extent of the loss
the man sustained he had been
rohb-d, and said that it was a blow
from his assailant that caused him to
fall under the train. After graphing
with the robber. who had secured
possession of $3.50, he was dealt .
stunning blow that sent him under
the wheels of the moving train. The
man had Just received
this money from the paymaster, him
self. until recently. being employed
rs foreman of a section crew."
The outrage has stirred up consid-
erhble feeling among railroad men at
Parsons, and il the heartIess ghoul
that perpetrated the deed is caught it

ATTEMPTED BLACKMAIL.
Sensational Developments I'M

Something is about to "drap" al

The sensation involves a farmer, q

After considerable maneuvering in
which the reporter was aided largely

About one month ago a certain doc

Dresden in which threats were made
that unless he the doctor pay
the writer the sum of $50
he would be subjected to exposure tor
certain alleged offences be had COM

Perplexed beyond measure at the
tenor Of the strange letter, the doctor
sought legal counsel and was advised
to refer the matter to the government
commissioner at Kansas City.
Acting accordingly, he conferred
with the commissioner, who referred
him to the postoffice inspector. and
after communicating with this off cial
induced him to come to Sedalia.
Yesterday marked the advent of
the officer and he registered at Kais-
er's as Nv. P. Houk, indianapolis"
After a consultation with the victim
of attempted blackmail, the inspector
hied himself to Dresden, where he
met the author of the letter in ques-
ton. Representing himself as being
in "cahoo," with the farmer, the man
from "Indianspolis" induced him to
make affidavit to the effect that

THE UNIVERSITY FIGHT.
A Lively Time and the Natter of
the Location Warmly De-
bated.

The university was up for consider
alton in the house yesterday afternoon
and the agricultural C llege farm Wa.
lugged in by the ears aud thoroughly
aired before the regular order cut of
debate. Mr.. Hays, of Cooper, opened
the fight with a resolution prefaced
with string Of wheresses concerning
the pride Of the state in educational
matters, its duty to construct a grand
university building. ETC., and winding
up with resolution pledging the
house to not Ike into consideration
money donations in the matter Of
locating the university. This about
represents the Columbia idea of the
question. They want everything with.
out paying for it, and have mare
enterprising towns ruled out. Mr..
Hays expressed the sound opinion
that he did not think the house would
endorse the resolution, a view con
Cured in by the members.
A few minutes later when the reso
luton was sent to the morgue, other
wise known as the special university
committee. a place from whence no
snch resolution ever returns, Mr.. Far
ris, of Pemiscot, offered q resolution
providing for separation OF the agri.
cultural college from the university,
and few minutes later introduced a
bill sppropria'ing $3.50. 900 for re-
building the university.
The bill provides for a commission
of seven, four from the house and
three from the senate, to s, lect loca-
ton. Speaking to the solution, Mr. !
Fsrris took occasion to rosst the uni
versity managers for their manage
ment Of the agricultural college. He
said that it cost SIG. 900 to graduate
one student from the college farm.
Mr.. Kennemore said that he be.
lieved that the farm was a fraud as
now managed.
Mr.. Hicksm, of Davies, then adj
few kicks to the manage
ment of the college farm. He said
that boys unfit to enter the university
were pl ced on the farm as students

they had learned enough to enter the

The British consul at Mogador while
on an excursion inland, about a days
journey from Mogador, met flights OF
locusts. He says it was an astonishing
and interesting though painful sight,
the air being in some parts so thick with
them that they formed a dense living
brown fog, through which he could
hardly find his way, while they SO COM
pletely covered the ground that the ut
most caution was necessary in walking,
as he could not tell whether he was
treading ON soft sand, hard slippery
rock, or what.
Many birds Toasted on the insects, in
Guiding large flights of gulls from the
sea, and beasts evidently enjci THEN
share, for in the middle of the densest
swarm he saw fine red fox dancing
about in the most frantic manner, leap
ing up and swapping dozens of the 10
Gusts in the air, until, seeing the
stranger, he suddenly dropped on all
fours and quickly vanished in the live
fog. Not only did the barbel get their
share of the novel food (the consul used
the locusts successfully as bait fol
them), but some OF the fish of the Allan
tic were found gorged with locusts
which had been blown off the land by
easterly winds. As usual, they were ex-
tensively eaten by the native population,
both Mohammedan and Jewish.-Lon-

Bowery Drug stores.

The Bowery drug stores do large
consultation and advice business. They
hire some young doctor who is licensed
to practice, in order that they may keep
within the law and not subject them
selves to prosecution by the county
medical society. These young practition-
ers take no pay for their services directly
from the customer, the druggist making
his money and theirs out of the medicines
which he sells. No prescriptions are
given to the customer lest he take them
somewhere else to be filed more cheaply.
These places sell great deal of patent
medicines, especially such things as
Bone Liniment and bitters strong enough
to set ones nerves at tension. The in
habitants of the Bowery, when they take
anything internally or externally, want
it to produce an effect about which there
is no mistake.-New York Sun.

Captain of n Lake Erie Schooner Dis
covers a Sea Serpent.
TOLEDO, O., July !9.-The schooner
Madeline Downing has arrived in this
port. Early last Wednesday while the
schooner was on its way from Buffalo to
this city, and was passing the Dunning,
about one hundred and fifty miles east
of here, in Lake Erie, Captain Patrick
Woods saw, about half a mile ahead, the
waters of the lake dashed into foam.
Drawing near, to the surprise Of the
captain and all ON board, a huge sea ser
pent, wrestling about in the waters as if
fighting with an unseen enemy, was
seen. 1t soon quieted down and lay at
full length on the surface of the water.
Captain Woods estimates it to be
about fifty feet in length, and not less
than four feet in circumference of body.
It's head was projecting from the water
about four feet He says it was terri
BILE looking object. 1t had viciOusly
sparkling eyes and large head. Fins
were plainly seen, seemingly sufficiently
large to assist the snake in propelling
itself through the water. The body was
dark brown in color, which was uniform
all along. From what he says 1t would
be capable of crushing a yawlboat and
its occupants.
AS the vessel passed on its course the
snake was seen disporting itself in the
lake. At the time he saw it the lake
was calm, and there could have been no
mistake in recognizing the object.

Ducks for the Navy.

The novel suggestion has been made
that ducks should be trained and used
for naval purposes in the same way that
piceons are used for conveying military
messages. The proposal comes from
Major Allatt, practical pigeon trainer,
who says that if we are going to use
birds to fly over water for naval pur-
poses ducks would be better than pig
cons, because when the duck gets tired
he drops and sits on the water until he
is rested and then goes ON again. Ducks,
moreover, canfy by night, while pigeons;
cannot. Major Allatt thinks that sea
grllls might be trained also for message
bearing purposes.-London Court Jour
