MORE NEW UNIFORMS.
The "Chicago" House Inmates
Scooped by the Police Sat.
urday Morning.

Eight Main street courtesans were
summoned into the presence of Re
corder Rauck Saturday morning to
answer the charge of plying an unholy
and unvirtuOus vocation.
Six of these females constitute the
proprietress and inmates of the swell
Chicago" house on West Main. The
manageress, Blanche BoykIns, was fined
$25, and the inmates, Maud Jones,
Nora Harris, Critic Scott, frankie
Little and Ena Williams, were fined
$3.50 each.
Two ''roomers" Belle Dent and
Clara Kellogg, were also fined $3.50
each.
These women protested against
the payment of their monthly
trent" before the month had
expired, and intimated that the new
''coppers' must be very extravagant
and dudish to want so many new uni
forms.
They all paid their "rent," or ar
ranged for the payment of it, never
theless, and went their way to sin
some more.
The women are 500 loser by the
transaction and the city that much
the gamer.
The city marshal has evidently rem
dered material assistance to the ways
and means committee in its endeavOr
to devise ways and means of raising
more revenue.

days since the finely bred Jersey bull
Ashantee Prince, Is, Al. l bought
this high bred animal from the noted

THE THEORY OF STORMS.

Pref Rednsld Finds II In the Great
September Gale.
In the year 1921 a severe storm
prevailed along the Eastern coast.
which for many years was known as
the 'great September gale" It held
that title until September, 1869, when
another and more remarkable one oc-
Cured. which rather disturbed its
claim to the honor. 1t was a little
time after the first storm that Will
liam c. Redfield, the meteorologist,
while making q journey in Massa-
chusetts. was struck by a curious
fact. says the Popular Science Month
ly. He noticed that in Massachusetts,
that the trees Frustrated by the
wind all lay with their heads to the
southeast, showing that the gale
there was from the northwest. but in
Connecticut the trees blown down by
the same storm lay head to the north
west, showing that the gale had been
Q southeast enc.
He ascertained, moreover, that
when the wind was blowing south
east in Niddletown. his home. it was
northwest at . place not seventy
miles from there. 1t was then that
the idea flashed across his mind that
the gale was a progressive whirlwind.
That was q great thought. II was
q flash of perception as came to New
ton when he connected the falling ap-
pie with the planets in space. 1t was
such an insight into the meaning of q
fact as James Watt had when he saw
the possibilities of the force that was
rafting the lid of the kettle on his
mothers fire.
The development of that idea was
destined to put Redfield in the ranks
Of the great scientific thinkers Of this
day. He made this storm the basis
of his investigations. following his re-
searches into its movements by q
careful collection of facts in relation
to others like it. For ten years he
studied and examined and compared
facts before he published his theory Of
Btorms.

SIX HUNDRED AND FIFTY.
The Jury Gives MesserIy That
Many Of FerreIl's Dollars

The case Of Charles E. Messerly VS.. Geo.
w. Terrell for $4,000 damages for inju-
ries sustained at the hands of the defend
ant, was given to the jury Friday evening.
The jury returned q verdict Saturday
morning for damages in the amount OF
$3.50.
The history Of the case is familiar to all
Sedalians, hence its recital here would lie
superAuous.
Yesterday evening Mr.. Terrell gave a
check for $3.50 which was accepted by Mr.
Messerly's attorneys in payment OF the
judgment. 1t is to be hoped that Sedalia
will not have another such case within the
next generation at least. The lessons
taught both of the gentlemen in this case,
will no doubt be useful as long rs life shall
last.

Bait in Angling.

A scientific paper tells of a new fish,
ing device whereby the minnow used
for bait in angling for large fish is
kept alive and safe from the predatory
denizens of the deep, who strike at it
but catch hooks instead. 1t is incased
N glass tube. through which the
water circulates freely. The applica-
ton is new, but the idea of carrying
bait in bottle is as old as angling is.
There is one improvement to be noted,
however, as under the old plan the
bait was sure to give out sooner or
later, depending on the size of the
bottle and the ardor of the fisherman.

And it came to pass that David and
Mollie, whose surnames are Eppleand

from their LongwOod homes to Soda

least Mollie was you can bet. David
seemed to be little shy of having the
nuptial knot closed down on him.

the couple were at the north approach
of the court house campus. David
appeared to be in deep contemplation
and was only awakened from his
reverie at times by Mollie shaking

cided. He could not make up his
mind to something but his companion
was doing her utmost to assist him

The doctors are coming to Sedalia.
Everybody who has a pain under
their apron string can now get expert

The doctors of Missouri are a very
useful body Of the states inhabitants,
but they are not much account to

They will never admit that they
killed any one. The man Of physic
will tell you Providence in his all wise

No, they never killed him.

The invasion OF Sedalia by the doc
tors of the state is a friendly one.
They come to be Sedalia's guests and
to counsel as to the best way to treat
cholera, handle their patients and col

Life is short at best and doctors of
ten lengthen it. That is what they
are for, but occasionally they make it
shorter. That fact does not get into
newspapers because the NJ. DIS don't
believe in advertising.
1t is in order for THE BAzoo to sug-
gest to the visiting physicians how to
advertise.

At the Methodisi Church.

The theme of Mr.. Hough's Sunday morn
ing sermon was "The angels and the shep-
herds After describing the locality and
its historic associations, the speaker said
the question has been raised, why should
so great a thing be revealed to humble men
shepherds? why not TO poets philosO-
pliers, the leaders among the people? Other
questions might be asked, and the answer
to one would be the answer to ALL Why
was the word given to Samuel and not TO
Eli? TO Luther and not 10 the ROmish
priesthood? Why did Lincoln come almost
unknown, from the West when a score o!
experienced statesmen could have been
found to lead the nation? Why did God
give Wesley his word and pass by bishops
ministering at the high affairs of England S
cathedrals? Answer these questions and
the answer is given to the first Now and
then you see a river suddenly change its
course and strike out a new channel The
old one has become blocked and impeded.
So the floods of heavenly power and light
opened new channels at the birth of Christ,
and have been doing so all down the ages,
because the old channels had been choked
with the rubbish OF skepticism, pride and

lions. and there is wonderful suggestive
ness i'm the characters who are Identified
with his advent. All the blessings that
crown our DAYS. all the tender things that
come TO us through human love and friend
ship. are largely the fruits of the coming
of him who was the desire OF all nations.
As was announced last week, the Christ
mas concert planned for the evening was
necessarily postponed and the pastor
preached again upon the topic OF the day,
considering the gifts brought by the wise
men to the infant Christ. At the close OF
the sermon a brief praise service, held III
the chapel, was pleasant close to the day s
exercises The music, as was announced,
was suitable TO the day, and was rendered
by the regular choir very acceptably.
On Monday evening the children reign
ed triumphant, with no one TO dispute
their rights. At g O'Clock a large audi
ence gathered in the chapel, where a tall,
shapelv Christmas tree and surrounding
framework of evergreen were gayly decked
with Christmas ornaments and, what was
better in the chldren's eyes, bags OF can
DIV for the little folks. The program OF
entertainment included a welcoming song
and bell song by a chorus of girls, preced-
ed by a march; a song by chorus of boys
with tin horns, and the reading by Mr..
Hawley of the story, Dukes Christmas,
from The Phoenix Christmas supplement.
Following this two dainty fairies sang OF
the approach Of Santa Claus. and solo by
beggar girl and Santa Claus's reply in
song led the way to the stripping Of the
tree and the distribution of the candy and
fruit to the Younger classes of the school.
A general social gathering followed in the
parors of the church, with games by the
Younger folk. while the older ones were
entertained by carols by four little waits,
who afterwards gathered up what pennies
they could TO be devoted to missionary OBJ
jects.
Several pleasant gatherings were held IL
different class rooms. Mr.. j. L. Hall {
and Mrs. l.. W. Stoddards classes held
pleasant reunions. and Mrs. /. X. Fuller
class. with Miss Izetta Stewards class a.
guests, enjoyed a social gathering in Mrs
/ Fuller's class room.

The UuiversaIIst Church.

The services at the Universalist chur,
were appropriate TO Christmas. Rev. NJ
White of Cambridge, Mass, delivered a
excellent sermon, taking for his text Mat
thew H:2. He dwelt upon the fact that
when Christ came new light dawned on
the earth which hitherto had CROPPED in
darkness, and upon the life and character
of Christ, his mission here on earth, por-
traying by beautiful and inspiring illustra-
tions his ever-helpful presence TO those
who follow his teachings through life, and
the comfort and solace to be derived when
death dra IS near.
The church was not decorated as elab-
orately as in some former years, but bank
Of laurel and holly, with here and there a
branch of bittersweet, was placed in front
of the altar. These decorations, with a
few flowers, gave a good effect.
The Sunday school gave Christmas
concert in the evening, assisted by the
choir, who rendered appropriate Christmas
music at the morning service. The con
cert program was under the supervision of
Miss Lulu Bracket, and was very credita-
BILE TO all who took part. There was a
