The usually quiet neighborhood OF

over which the people of that vicinity
are greatly worked up.

Beard was greatly astounded
to find her daughter gone and a note

father, informing him that she had

An examination of the room also dis

Immediately after breakfast the

to search the neigtborhood for the
missing daughter. They visited every
farm house within a radius of three or
four miles, but failed to find the

A PLUCKY PETrIS GIRL.
She Drives a Desperate Negro
From Her DOOr-He Took
Revenge Last Saturday
afternoon.

Shortly after the Taylor sensation in
Sedalia last February, a negro man
was seen proving suspiciously about
the residence of Mr.. Calhoun, who
conducts dairy two miles north of
town.
Mr.. Calhoun has no one at home,
save his daughter, and it was his
custom to leave her there alone when
he came to the city. He had q
valuable shepherd dog, however. and
his daughter felt safe when this ami.
NAL was around. He had almost
human intelligence and kept close
watch against intruders.
On the occasion referred
to Miss Calhoun saw the negro,
her. and being alarmed after the re-
cent outrage, she took a fine pis oil in
her hand, went to the door and asked
the intruder what be wanted. He
said, in an insolent way, that he was
looking for . certain man who lived
near BY. She did not believe his story
AID told him to get out of the yard at
once. The young lady is reported to
be good narksmsn and knows how
to take care of herself.
Several times after that the negro
passed the house and attempted to
entice the dog out of the yard for the
purpose Of killing him.
Last Saturday afternoon Mr.. Cal
houn and his daughter went into their
pasture some distance from the house,
after the cows, the dog following

was concealed. he rose up, leveled his

flight, and Mr.. Calhoun,
infatuated, but unarmed, pursued the
negro into q neighbors house where
he took refuge.
The dog was highly valued by the
owner, but the law can give owner no
redress. Besides this, his daughter
is 90 alarmed that she will no longer
stay at home alone.

One day Fred Smith mysteriously

who is quite handsome man, looked

however, to give few personal ex-

A WOOD TESTER.

SEDALIA, No., July 1892.
EDITOR BAzOo III you know of q
tester tor wood and q room l would
like to know it. or q man that can
put such a thing in q house. would
like to have one, if you do not let me
know it there is such q thing in the
city. / may write to New York.
Yours truly,
ALADY SUBSCRIBERS.
ANSWER.
There is no wood tester in Sedalia
as far as heard from. Then to put in,
dwelling would be another thing.
We think to have such q machine
in the wood shed would be q more an
propriate place aud then AN able
bodied man with an axe could test
cord-wood to your hearts couteut.
You should have one.
We have lived a long time and
never had a wood tester, and can
scarcely see how one has survived
without one Gin the house"
We are hoping on. however.
New York is a good place to get
EN-. They give them away there in
prize packages and as premiums for
new subscribers to the New York
papers.
We have seen lung testers, weight
testers, cider testers and tests TO vote
the straight ticket, but wood testers
have not been seen on Ohio street
since John HOux commenced to sell
charter oak stoves. hence they can't be
very thick.
Write to New York by all means
and if you can't get one there We
would recommend you to apply TO
Col. Henry D. Hill, for he has tested
more than one thing in this world
md he will make some SOFT of q test

1.-THE PRIDE OF MISSOURI -
p. ID. Hastain Nominated for
Congress from the Seventh
District by Acclama-
ton.

The republican congressional con
vention completed its work last nigh
by the nomination of Hon. P. D
Hastain, of Seda,ia, for congr. s. from
this the Seventh district.
The nomination was received with
long and loud applause, and com
mittee of three gentlemen was ap
pointed to seek out the nominee and
escort him to the platform.
Mr.. Hsstain was not long
in making his appearance. In
accepting the honor bestowed upon
him he made a brief speech which
was enthusiastically cheered.
Pleasant D. Hastain wss born in
Henry county, No., in 1854. In
1860 his father, who was a farmer,
removed to Calhoun and entered the
mercantile business. In 1865 he be.
came a resident OF Warsaw and there
bis distinguished son resided until be
came to Sedalia in the winter OF
1891.
Mr.. Hastain attended the College
of Christian Brothers in St. Louis,
and afterward entered the Missouri
State University, where he was gradu-
ated from the law department
in 1873. Two years later
he was elected, as a republican,
prosecuting attorney of Benton county,
and displayed so much ability in that
responsible position that he held it
four CONSECUTIVE terms-eight years.
He was united in marriage in 1880
with Miss Lena Hill, of Warrensburg,
Mo-, and is now the father Of three
interesting children.
Mr.. Hastain is Law partner of the
eminent Judge w. S. Shirk, republi.
can candidate for supreme judge. He

Portly, and Of engsg ing manners.
He is gifted with eloquence and
is a capital stump speaker.
He is not a member of any church,
but belongs to the order of Odd Eel
lows and the lodge of Sedalia Eiks.
He will likely not enter upon his

but will make thorough canvass of
the entire Seventh district.
The nomination was most worthily |
bestowed, for the nominee is stall.

mittee assurance that he will partici-
pate in the Missouri campaign"
Mr.. Kerens spoke With considerable
eloquence on national matters.
"The republican party proposes to
fight the battle en- the plain, practical
and common-sense issue of protection
to home industry and American
laborers. We do not believe in allow
ing foreign manufacturers to compete
with American manufacturers on
free-trade principles. If we did,
what would become of our
manufacturers and our workingmen?
Why, they would simply have to lie
around idle, with nothing to do OF all
become agriculturalists.
"As to the Homestead troubles, I"
said Mr.. Kerens, 81 believe that the
outcome will rebound to the interests
of the republican party, notwithstsnd-
ing the democrats are attempting to
make all the capital they possibly can
out of the strike and seeking to make
1t political ISSUE"
When Mr.. Kerens was questiorei
as to what influence the Force bill
would have in the campaign. he
treated the matter scornfully and con-
temptuously.
"Why, there is no such
thing as Force BILL" said
he. 1t is the merest ghost which
the democratic party is invoking to
brighten people. The republicans do
not consider it up. 1t has been set
aside. As stated in the beginning
We propose to wage the battle on
palmer issues and higher principals.
Turning from further talk on
politics and politicians. Mr. Kerens
spoke in high praise of The heauty,
thrift and progressiveness of Sedalia.
