Skipped Out. Diseusted.

Mrs. Eskins, the alleged spirit
medium, who had been holding forth
at Blue Ribbon hall. and whose audi
ences had dwindled down until there
was nobody but herself and the door
keeper left, skipped out from Sedalia
Yesterday.
She was advertised TO deliver an
other lecture in the afternoon, but
finally decided otherwise, and took the
first train cut of town.
Mrs. Eskins complained bitterly of
the lack of interest manifested in her
work by the spirituali>ts and spirits of
:Sedalia, and to this she attributes her
lack of success in this community.

HEIR FORTUNE.
A Young Man in Washington
Who Inherits 10000 VAL
liable Iowa Acres.

DIS MoiyES, To-, Nov. 2S.-After
many months Of searching. Attorney
Edward Long has located the heir to
10000 acres of land in Lyons county
worth $4,000. His name is Arthur
G.. Wheeler, and he was found in
Seattle, Wash. In 1879, when
Wheeler was Z years old, an uncle,
Frederick u. James Of New York,
decided him the land as a gift. 1t was
considered swamp land at that
time, but as the country has
settled up since it is found to
be farm land of the best kind Soon
afterward young Wheeler's parents
died and he became a wanderer. De-
tectives tried to find him but were
unsuccessful. The land, in the mean
time, was sold for taxes, and is en-
numbered by the tax deeds, held BY
Daniel Butter6eld of New York, but
Wheeler, who is now q years old,
will have a handsome fortune left
after redemption.

KANSAS CITY, No., Nov. 2s.-In
the Federal court this morning Judge
Philips sentenced Maurice, alias
PinkY, Blitz, the vote repeater, to two
years and two days in the penitentiary
for fraudulent voting at the general
election held November s, 1892.
Blitz was indicted by a United
States grand jury, on Novem-
Der 10, 1892, for voting three
times. He voted for Congressman
Tarsney successfully in his own name,
the name of w. j. Alego and James
Willard at the Sixth precinct of the
Second ward. No cognizance Was
taken of the number of times that he
voted for city and state candidates, as
the United States election laws pro-
vide for penalty only when Federal
officers, a congressman or a Dresden
tial eleetor has been illegally voted
for.

ENFORCE THE GAME LAWS.
1t is Being too Generally Dis.
regarded by the Pettis
County Sportsmen.

1t is fact that the provision Of the
Missouri statute forbidding the Illegal
slaughter of quai,s under severe pen
alties is being constantly violated.
Session acts, page ia, approved
March -, 1891, provides that if any
one al any time or season catch, take
or injure By any nets. traps. pens or
pits or other device Of the kind, any
quail, sometime called Virginia part
ridge, :; :; :; shall be deemed
guilty of a misdemeanor," etc.
Session acts, page l76, approved
March 80, 1898, prohibits ANY rail-
road or express company or any agent
thereof from shipping or receiving
for shipment or conveyance to any
PORT any quail = * 3 killed
w:lhin this state for a period of five
years next succeeding the approval of
said act.
A quail taken By any of the above
methods viii be found with a broken
neck or crushed skull. In a word it
is fair to presume that a bird not
showing marks of shot or bullets has
been taken in an unlawful manner.
The quail is the sportsman's game,
and should not be exterminated for
mercenary purposes. Large quantities
Ofquails, taken in traps and nets, have
already sought M fket in Missouri.
All officers ought to watch for them.
The fine for conviction is not less than
500 or more than 5000.

MISSIONARY RIDGE.
What has Happened Since that
Famous Fight Above
the Clouds.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Nov. d.
Thirty years ago to-day occurred one
of the most remarkable battles on
record-the storming and capture,
without orders, OF Missionary Ridge.
On the day before the famous ''bat-
tie above the clouds" took place, on
the rugged sides and under the rocky
palisades of Lookout Mountain, which
followed the capture, on the previous
day, of Orchard Knob, and the fierce
fight of Sherman's men with a force
of Confe,lerates who had assaulted
them. These three notable struggles
ended in raising the siege of Chatta-
nooga, and the retreat, almost rout,
of the Confederate troops under Gen
eral Braxton Bragg, who had for two
months bottled up the Union Army
of the Cumberland, which was for the
greater part of the time, while sur
rounded, on quarter ratiOns and con-
sequently half starved. In conse-
quence, on the driving away Of the in
vesting army the Atlanta campaign Of
Sherman began a few months later
The story of these battles seems
almost like ancient history, yet they
were fought but three decades since.
and Chattanooga shows no traces OF
them save a national cemetery with
almost 1900 graves therein. An
incline and switchback railroad
traverses the steep slopes over which
Fighting Joe" Hooker's men pressed

from the town below: an electric line
climbs Missionary Ridge, passing
General Bragg's headquarters, and Il
belt railroad passes the foot of Orchard
Knob on the Sherman Heights, named
for the general whose men strug-
gled so desperately on the ground
where the suburban village now
stands. Two steel towers, erected
by the government, stand on the sum-
nit of the ridge. One will be erect
ed on Orchard Knob to mark the spot
where Generals Grant, Thomas and
Howard stood and watched the un-

to erect at a cost of $50, 900.
A delegation from Illinois visited
these old fields this week. The party
was made UP of ex-soldiers of the
Union. and their visit will mean the

B,SHOPATWlLL'S NEW KIN.
His Wife's Brother Soon to Wed
a Beautiful Chinese
Maiden.

The following article from the Kan
sas City Stor, Saturday. will be inter-
esting. particularly to the Episco-
pal an portion of the residents of Sc
dalia:
Commander William II. Whiting,
of the man-of-war Alliance, u. S. N,
who is now in Honolulu. Hawaii,
awaiting the day when he is to wed
Miss Eta All Fong, daughter of
multi-millionaire Chinese merchant of
Honolulu, will spend the coming
holidays in Kansas City with his
bride.
He will visit his sister, Mrs. E. Il.
Atwill, wife of Bishop Atwill of this
Episcopal diocese. and will stay at
the bishopric at the corner OF Wood
land and Linwood avenues. The du-
ration of his visit in Kansas City will
depend on his success in securing an
extension of his leave of absence from
the Navy department.
Commander Whiting sailed from
San Francisco for the Sandwich Is
lands November ID, and arrived at
Honolulu last Wednesday. No day has
been set for his marriage to Miss All
Fong, owing to the uncertainty of the
time when he could leave his ship and
the plan was to have the wedding take
place soon after his arrival at the
home OF his bride. The nuptials will
be in few days and the first steamer
sailing will be taken for San Fran
cisco. Commander Whiting and wife
will then proceed direct to Kansas
Citv.
Mrs. Atwill has not seen her brother,
the commander, for four years, but
frequently has letters from him. Du-
ring his courtsbip of the Chinese
maiden he took his sister INTO his con-
fidence and long before the engage
ment was announced she knew Of it.
Her brother, Mrs. Atwill says, feels
very keenly the newspaper notoriety
which his selection of wife has given
him, and regards as highly unjust
some of the published descriptions of
Miss All Fong. He describes her as
being highly cultivated lady and not
different from any American
woman. She has received an European
education and is a very charming
woman. Mrs. Atwill and her daugh
tiers have received several letters from
Miss All Fong, who by the way signs
herself "Atta All Fong." They Were
written in IN easy style and were full
of evidence that Miss AhFong is ut
like any other girl. Miss All Fongs
mother and several of her sisters and
brothers passed through Kansas City
late in September on their way to
the Worlds far, but through mis-
understanding Mrs. Atwill did not
meet them. Bishop Atwill and his
family are looking forward with much
pleasure to the approaching visit of
Commander Whiting and his young
bride"

Morphine Habit Cured.
ENsoR INSTITUTE,
Der. 13. 1893.


Ger. 10, 1898.
l came to Phoenix two months ago to
get cured of the morphine habit, which
I had suffered from for almost five
years, and was taking from twenty to
thirty grains per day hypodermically.
I was mental and physical wreck and
had lost all control of myself.
I entered the Ensor Institute in Ph9-
nix six weeks ago for treatment, and
now come out a cured man.
I am free man again, and have no
desire whatever for morphine. On the
contrary the very thought of it is repul-
sive to me.
This great change has been wrought
without suffering or inconvenience, and
l have gained nine pounds in weight
while being treated.
I most heartily endorse the Ensor
treatment, and recommend all those to
try it, who are similarly afflicted. 1t
will cure the hardest cases, for it cured
me. H. E. CHAPMAN.
