BAZOO GOSSIP.
Said Deputy Circuit Clerk Ed.
Marvin 10 the Gossiper: "There is
quite an extensive docket for the COM
ing term of the criminal court, which
convenes the first Monday in April,
being the fourth day of the month,
and several very important cases WILL
be tried. There will also be an ad-
journed term of the circuit court held
on the 21st of this month, in relation
to the partition case Of Curtis Field,
deceased, Of which George W. Bar
nett has been chosen as special judge.
Said a prominent business man to !
the Gossiper yesterday: The ladies
of Sedalia, who are 50 nobly devoting
their time ard energies to the cause OK
Kissing funds for the erection OF q
charity hospital, should receive the
most earnest good wishes as well as
the financial backing Of the entire
community. 1t is in a grand cause
that of alleviaiing the sunerings OF
the distressed and helpless-and these
ladies have started out with the deter
, mination to accomplish their ends.
All should unite in giving them every
possible assistance"
A well known politician and one
who is intimately acquainted with the
history Of almost every public man in
the state, yesterday said to the Cos
siper: "Never before in the history
of the state has there been q time
when the democrats of the state have
been 80 much puzzled in regard to
making q CHI ice for state officials.
Look, for instance at the governor
ship. Some half dozen Of the best
men in the state are aspirants, Lordy,
they are all so No 1-how is man
to make choice? Either would be OF
the highest 10 the state"
Editor Van Wisker, of the Green
Ridge Enterprise, made a very good
suggestion to the Gossiper the other
day. 1t was to the effect that Sedalia
should strive for the location OF fax
mill. He said: "There are very few
such enterprises in the west. and il
seems to me it would prove q good in
yestment here. Pettis county raises
. superior article of fax, and the pro.
duce such as oil, oil cake, straw fol
Irvine, etc. finds ready sale in any
market in the world. Quite mum,
Der Of operatives would necessarily be
emp'oyed, all Of which would re.
dound to the interest of Sedalia."
"Don't you know" said a promi
nent business man to the Gossiper yes
terday, s'that outsiders are very quick
to pick up anything coming from the
papers here in any way derogatory to
the city? The prosperity and splen
did standing of Sedalia is q matter O.
envy to more than one Missouri town
and they are on the lookout for any
thing they can use sgainst US. Fo
instance, the Columbia Herald o
this week gave Sedalia a terrible
roasting, and it quoted and took it
cue entirely from the republican orgal
of this city. Now, l generally vot
that ticket myself, but l must comics
cant see why it is necessary to sac
rifce the city's interest for . littl
passing political capital"
"Well, SIR" said Prof. F. C. Bi
lings to the Gossiper last evening, 6
was made acquainted With strang
phenomenon yesterday. l was in Hou'
tonia, and was called to the house {
j. NJ. Coates, to put his piano j
shape. Arriving at the house I mad
an examination Of the instrument an
found the key mountings absent. o
inquiring the cause, Mr.. Coates il
formed me that two weeks ago his Ii
tie SON accidentally dropped ligh,e
match on the ivories and in an instaI
they were enveloped in . blaze an
consumed. The mouhtings were
celluIoid and each and every one VI
licked up in the blaze. The wot
part of the piano was not 80 much
ecorched. This strange occurrence
unparalleled in my fifteen years exp
rience in tuning instruments. l kDe
that celluloid was famnable but b
no idea it would cut such caper as
did in this instance"
