for the Inauguration.

The Ohio and Mississippi and Baltimore
Il Ohio system of railways running direct
ly east from st. Louis form the short and
direct line to the National Capital, and
offer through train service which Is not
equalled by any other route. 1t is prop
erly speaking the only line from the Mis-
sissippi River to Washington; all others
may be Chased a. routes-ways Of getting
there, although circuitous and therefore to
be avoided.
The o. 4 NJ. and B. l. O. lines run two
daily trains (morning and EVENING" from
St. Louis, with Pullman Vestibule and
Buffet Sleeping Cars through to Washing
ton, and via Washington to Baltimore,
Philadelphia and New York.
No other road does this.

Cleveland March 4sh, excursion rates will
be made by these lines from St. Louis and
also by western lines via St. Louis and the

A Magnetic Doctor.

The celebrated colored physician
"DOc Love-" was found rambling
around on Main street last night
and was locked up.
The charge of late hours was pre-
ferred against him in the police court
this morning.
Judge Rauck inquired if he were a
practising physician.
Love said he was not 'zactly' a
physician, but could cure rheumatism,
headache and fits by the simple Use
of his hands.
The recorder and magnetic healer
had Il private conference after the adj
journment Of court, and it is probable
the doctor got off on easy terms.

tune. It requires no instruction to use IT.
Let one play a lively tune on violin,
BAZOo, piano or organ, and one or two
others drone an accompaniment with the
Baz0o and you have good bagpipe. You
can initiate "Punch and Judy" to perfec-
ton BY speaking in 4 shrill voice. DO not
blow Into the BAZOo; but sing speak or
make some noise, as the cut-eut cut-ca-da-
cut OF hen, the crow OF rooster, the cav
of crow. the moo of 4 crow and hundreds
of other noises. III the BAzoo does not
work properly, place the lips over the four
holes in the tin and draw the breath in and
out few times. Many limitations can be
made better by speaking through the three
round holes in the wood, or covering three
holes in the tin with the lips, leaving the
fourth uncovered. A quartette or chorus
singing through the BAzoO will bring down
the house with great applause and invari-
ably receive repeated eneores. Buy tour

A Prisoner Escapes From a
Sheriff, But is Recap.
tured.

Sheriff Holman. of Ray county,
passed through Sedalia last night, en-
route to jefferson City. He had an
adventure in Kansas City. yesterday.
The Times says:
An excited individual rushed into
police headquarters about 2 O'Clock
yesterday afternoon and reported tina,
he had just seen an escaped convict al
Fourth and Broadway. The criminal
had pair OF handouts attached to
one wrist and the bracelets were being
concealed IN the mans coat sleeve.
He had seen them fall down but a few
minutes before.
The mans story threw the police
into a state of activity. All the
available officers were summoned and
sent to capture the man. Even secre.
tary Ed. Hickman went forth, ready
to jump on him hard. In a few min
utes they returned with the described
criminal and a badly scared individual
who said he was John Ferguson,
deputy sheriff of Ray county, Missouri.
The man with the handouts, he said,
was Frank Monroe, convicted in Ray
county of horse stealing and sentenced
to four years in the penitentiary.
They arrived in the morning on
their way to Jefferson City. accom-
panied by Sheriff J. Il. Holman.
Failing to make train connection i'm
mediately. they had to remain over in
the city during the day. The sheriff
became tired and went to bed. Fur
gason and his prisoner went seeing the
sights; and, so people would not I'M
derstand their relations, the deputy
sheriff released one of Monroe's hands.
Furgason had no papers to prove his
and the pair were detained
until the sheriff was located and
brought to headquarters, where he ex-
planned matters satisfactorily to Chief
Speers. The three left the station to-
gether shortly before train time"

A GRAND EXHIBIT.
Missouri's Worlds Fair Display
to Pass Through Sedaiia
Tomorrow.

The great exhibit of Missouri fruits
which will pass through this city to-
morrow from the Olden fruit farm to
the Worlds fair, will not be open for
inspection. The jars containing the
fruit have been carefully boxed and
can not well be opened until they
reach Horticultural hall. Yesterday
the seventy-five jars which will be
added to the cargo at Kansas City,
were boxed for shipment.
The greatest care was taken in pre-
pairing the large jars for their trip to
Chicago. President j. G. Evans, of
the Missouri Horticultural society,
has charge of the Missouri horticul-
tural exhibit. He has had active
supervision of the work Of putting up
the fruit, having made the subject
almost life study. The fruit, most
of which was Jared last summer and
fall, is in splendid condition-as
natural in appearance as if it had just
been taken from the trees, bushes and
vines on which it grew. The down
still seems to linger on the peach. and
the purple dust upon the grape. The
preservation of the fruit requires very
careful treatment.
Mr.. Evans, besides having the presi-
dency of the State Horticultural socie-
ty, is treasurer of the national associa-
ton known as the American Hort
cultural society. Regarding the Mis-
souri, exhibit and the manner of pre-
serving the fruit, Mr.. Evans, says:
missouri will make a grand horti-
cultural display. 1t will have its ex-
hibit in the northwest wing of the
horticultural building near one of the
main entrances. We have now OBJ
tanned about 375 jars of various fruits,
which will go t. Chicago on the car
already referred to. During the fair
we will receive daily shipments Of
fresh fruits, showing products of all
Seasons of the year
people have been curious to know
the secret of so thoroughly preserving
fruit. 1t is easy enough to one who
understands. The jars in which We
have stored our fruit were made for
the purpose and they range in height
from Is inches to 3 feet and are pro-
portionately large in diameter. The
great secret of preserving the fruit is
to come as near as possible to making
the specific gravity of the liquid the
same as the specific gravity of the
fruit. have seen the specific gravi-
ty so nicely hit upon that the fruit
was suspended in the liquid.
"There are various methods Of pre-
servation. One method is to fumiga,e
the fruit with sulphur and then i'm
merse in liquid, half water and half
Another is to store it in
salicylic acid and glycerine. The ely
cerine assists in establishing the correct
specific gravity. Still another plan is
to place the fruit in a mixture Of borac
acid and sulphurized water. There
are different processes for different
fruits, but any Of these processes will
do if the specific gravity Is we'll adjust
ed. 1t is my opinion that the method
Of fruit preservation first gave Is the
best"
