MERCHANT POLICE.
Detective Apologize in The City
to Establish an Office.

Detective Applegate, of st. Louis,
who did such effective work during
the fair, is in the city for the purpose
of establishing Il merchants police if
Sedalia wants it. 1t will be branch
of the Mercantile Detective service,
and by reason OF this connection will
he of much mere value than strictly
local service could be. His plan Is
two iold-to protect the business part
of the city and establish a patrol >ys-
TEN along the residence streets. The
whole will he under the direction Of
Marshal De Long and will he in CO.
operation with the police of the city.
His plan for protecting the business
men is to place in each office or store.
a system of electric alarms, which will
give instant notice at the detective
office if any attempt is made to enter.
This will not only notify the man on
watch of the building being entered,
but of the very window or door
which is being tempered with.
The cost of this to the subscriber will
be from s25 to 500 year. The
cost of making the connection will he
about 81. an opening which will he
paid by the owner of the building.
The company will furnish all outside
wires.
In the residence part of the city
uniformed patrols will visit each house
every half hour, try the door and see
if everything is all right. This will
cost 80 or SIS Il month for each house.
This system is in operation in other
cities and gives good protection. 1t
will cost but little and should be put
in here. y year OF this service would
drive every burglar out OF Sedalia.

DIR. j. j. Webster. AN Eminent Methodist

Thrown Himself From tina Third-Story

CHARLESTON, w. Va, April "A mod
est looking gentleman of good deport-
ment arrived at Hotel Ruffner from the
east Tuesday noon, and registered as j.
j. Worthington, ID. G. He was assigned
to room on the third floor. To which
he went without delay. Nothing was
seen or heard from him until about q
o'clock p. m, when he rang for a ser
want, who, as the boy went into the
room, the gentleman told him To bring
him cup of hot coffee, which was
done.
Nothing more was heard from or seen
of him until the dead body was found ON
the pavement, thirty-five feet below,
Wednesday morning by a Negro,
who was going into the hotel. The
coroner was notified and the body
viewed. The neck, back of the head,
one arm and several ribs were found
broken. The room was examined and

at the number referred to. While al
the hotel there was nothing strange
about the actions of the man, and as
he retired so early no more attention
was paid him than any other guest who
would ask to go to his room so soon
after registering.
The coroners verdict is: Deceased
came To his death by falling from a
third-story windhw in Hotel Ruffner
and breaking his neck"
1t is believed that he was taken sick
and rose from bed and sat in the win
dow for fresh air. When found he had
on only night shirt and underclothing,
He was about forty-five years old, and
would have weighed about 1875 pounds.
He was of pleasing address and nervous
action. He had nothing to say to any
one, and what his object was in coming
here is unknown.
kilograms from Baltimore speak of
him as DIR. Webster. Why he should
have registered under an assumed name
is more than can now be understood, as
there were no papers or any other evil
dence on his person or in his effects to
lead one to believe that he had been in
any trouble. The note he left was not
addressed to any one.

Dynamite.
CLARENDON, Kan, April 7.-Informa-
ton reached here Wednesday of ter
rible affair that occurred near Quick
vile, on the North fork of Sappa creek
James c. Harrison, n farmer, had in his
employ, since last spring, young man
named Tom Burdick. Last Saturday,
Harrison discharged BurdiclS because
he persisted in forcing attention up
on Miss Minnie Harrison, his seventeen
year-old daughter Burdick left the
farm vowing vengeance upon Har-
rison and his family. He went to
Colby, where he got drunk. He
also purchased four pounds of dyna-
mite. Since the rain-making experi-
ments were begun last summer and fall
that explosive has been for sale in Col
by. At an early hour Monday morning
Burdick returned to the Harrison farm.
Harrison and his wife and daughter and
siX-year-old son were asleep. BurdiclS
entered the kitchen through window
and placed the dynamite, with lighted
fuse attached to it, near the sleeping
room of Mr.. and Mrs. Harrison and their
boy. Before Burdick could retire to u
safe distance the explosion occurred.
All the occupants of the house were
badly injured and the house was almost
completely demolished. A piece of fly
ing timber struck Burdicl1 and knocked
him down and wounded him so badly
that he was unable to leave the spot
where he fell. Seeing Burdicl lying in
the road near the house, Harrison
went up TO him and attempted TO ascer-
tain from him the cause of the explo-
sion. Being unable to do so he aroused
some neighbors. They succeeded in re-
storing BurdiclS 20 consciousness and
obtaining from him the confession that
he committed the dastardly deed.
